tsinly not, unless there has been falling
back Of the whole line 81 defence; under
existing circumstances, LOngstreet can
be readily aAnked, unless he is re-en-
forced.
Has he been so re-enfOrced? We have
information from Knoxville to the morn
ing of the 18th, and at that time there
appeared to be no change in the situs-
ton; but that is mere negative evidence,
and by no means conclusive.
Of one thing the public may rest as
sured; the army Of Joe Johnston has
been sent to the point from which the
rebels intend TO make their next cam
bsign, which will be an offensive one, and
if unsuccessful, their last effort. Wheth-
er they will strike at Knoxville or Wash
ingtOn, of course cannot now be predict
ed with certainty; but it is highly prOba-
bic that the former is the point of danger,

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says it is the intention of the
Government to complete the railroad from
Chattanooga to Knoxville at once. The
principal work will be the construction of
two bridges, one at LoudOD, across the
Tennessee, which will probably cost two
hundred thousand dollars; the other at
Hiawassee River. at a cost of seventy-five
or one hundred thousand dollars. It is
believed that these bridges can be COM
pleted in twenty Or thirty days, and in
the mean time the track will be repaired
through. The track has received but
little ipjury--sO little, indeed, that q
prominent citizen of Cleveland asserts
it can be repaired in two days. The
opening of this road is of the utmost
Importance, and will have much to do
with the spring campaign, so far as the
supplying of the army at Knoxville is
concerned.

SOUTH CAROLINA GROWING REBERLIOUs
The recent acts of the Confederate Con-
gress must indeed be despOtic in their
character for South Carolina to rail
against them. The fre-eaters Of that
State who gave birth to the rebellion are
beginning to tremble at the prospect of
= military dictatorship, and loudly de-
claim against the rulers at Richmond.
The Charleston Mercury, in discussing
the new measures of the rebel Congress,
says: Propositions TO trsmple upon the
constitution under which the legislative
and executive branches Of the Confed-
crate Government hold their seats in
Richmond---to violate the osths Of on ce,
and. under the plea of necessity, without
authority of law, and against State rights,
to place oil persons and all property and
sll liberty under the central dicta-
tOrship, may be thought By some to be
fraught with safety and peace; bat it be-
comes the patriotic, intelligent and I'M
terrified representatives of States and
peoples 10 comprehend the true causes Of
danger, and to supply such remedies as
the great legislative powers of the
country afford"

CAMP NEAR NASHVILLE, TENN I
January 80, 1864.

Editor Nashville Union
Doubtless there are many who are not
aware of tho fact thst, ono railo froza tho
city, out Cedar street, on the Charlotte
Pike, is one of the most beautiful and ell
eganily arranged encampments in this
military district; on the West side of
which is presented, n most enchanting
view of the Iron Horse" as he glides
swiftly by, laden with military stores.
OIL how delightful to stand here upon
the swollen bosom of Mother Earth, and
behold the grand display of Genius and
Art, cen upon this war-msrked spot,
where the rebelIiOus rattls-snake at one
time could curl his tailin spiral volumes,
triumphant Ger the patriot sons and
daughters of Americas honor
But, hist some one asks t0ho occupies
that beautiful camp? We must say that
it is occupied by six batteries of light
artillery, (inclusive,) known as the 1st
Division Artillery Reserve, commanded
by the celebrated artillerist, Col. James
Barnett. who was, not long since, known
IS Chief of Artillery, D. G. And, we are
pleased TO inform our fellow-soldiers,
that we have not long been in the re-
serve, but that we have fought in three
bloody battles, besides quite number
Of skirmishes.
But I regret to state, that we have 3
considerable number of sick, ROtwith-
standing the untiring vigilance of A. A.
Surgeon, R. II. Walker, o. S. A, who is
evidently one Of the most reliable and
able physicians in this Department. He
has just completed q oOzy little Hospi-
tai, in which he will soon be enabled, by
his devoted care and superior skill, great
" 10 ameliOrate the condition of those
unfortunate ones.
We now propose to conclude, by ex-
tending 3 cordial invitation 70 all our
friends in the city, to come out and
spend . few hours with as in camp. We
will be most happy to receive you.
Very respectfully, D. S. R.

Daily national Republican. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1862-1866, 1864-07-09

Some of the press indulge in severe strlc-
lures upon Capt. Wiuslow for having paroled
the officers and crew Of the Alabama. This is
absutd. It would be impossible to keep them
on board his ship, (ffteen of them were
wounded) except at the expense of the com.
fort, the health, and perhaps the lives of his
own crew, and as we have no prisons In for
eign countries, he had no place in which to
conGne them except on board the Kesrsargc.
He accordingly took from the men pledge
not TO fight against the United States, and
paroled the officers as prisoners of war, and
expects to send them home. He will demand
of semmes that he deliver himself up accord.
ing 10 the images. This will put his boasted
ehivalry to a test.
II, In such case, tho conQueror were com.
PEELED to convert his vessel into a prison. ship
or hospital on winning the fight, neither com
manders nor crews would have much stomach
for the fight.

THE RE uEL INyAsluN

The rebel raid uto Maryland, which has
been tho military ;Opic just one week, has
borne some extraordI nary features. The BaltI-
more papers this mo rning say that their in.
formation Is hardly d .fnlte enough yet TO en-.
able them TO speak asst uedly whether the rebels
intend an invasion Of the State in force OF
whether they merely int ended a raid of large
proportions. There can be no doubt now In
any well-regulatod mind that nc serious inva,
sion was intended, and hat no heavy column
Of troops has marched toward Penns ylvania.
The blow would have beeu strucii long erethIs
If such had been the plan. .'@
The rebels are too smart 10 remain on the
border kicking up dust, attracti ng the atten.
ton OF the whole country and giving us time
to concentrate against them all our spare
forces and men to organize regiments of mil
lila before they commence operations. But
the strangest feature of the affair IL the Ina.
bitity of our commander In tho field, directly
In the way OF the enemy, TO give information
Of their real strength and their apparent pur
pose. Perhaps the transfer OF Gen. slgel from
his command has something to do with thii
question. 1t would seem tn at the actual pro
portions Of this raid might have been madt
known, saving heavy expsnse, and diminish
ing the excitement In the raoney market.
