Letter from Cleveland.

The following concluding remarks in a
letter of recent date, from Cleveland, Tenn,
will be peruscd by the Union men of the
country with interest and surprise. We
know the writer, and we endorse him TO the
fullest extent:
"By the way, l am happy to inform you that nj
least Mrce-toHrthS of the Union men Of this county
fully endorse the action of your mass meeting at
Knoxville, held on the 10th ultimo We are for
removing the cause of the war, and that cause IL
"Sambo,' There very few men in our county
who claim TO be good Union men since the Federal
forces occupied the country but who were outspoken
rebels before, who now take sides with the old line
Tory Rebels and want the old Constitution.
Isaac Day who mounted his son SAM on the best
horse he had, and sent him to aid Tbbs, Brown ~
Co. to capture Col Cliff, in November 1861, and has
said all the time tll Of late that the rebels would
gain their independence, said that he hoped TO God
the last one Of the Union men hut crossed into Ken
lucky to Join the Federal forces would be killed
This man Day has two SONS in the rebel army and
il is said they come home occasionally on friendly
visits. He saltcd down between three and four hum

If our authorities continue to white-wash
the yillainous characters of such rebels as
these, let our East Tennessee Union men,
and soldiers, seek some suitable occasion to
give the scoundrels certificates that will as
sign to them their proper places.

Restrictions on Trade.

Some men take it very much at heart
when they are refused government permits
to open goods and trade, Disloya men,
who have aided and abcttcd this rebellion,
have great impudcncc to ask Of the civil or
military authorities any such privileges
They may have taken the amnesty oath,
and what of that? They are still rebels,
they are in sympathy with rebels, and we
have the proof in this town, that they arc
in consultation with rebels whenever they
can meet, and even write beyond our lines
and post up the enemy. Such men should
be content to breathe in this country, with
out Hring or tadiAg, and making money off
of the Union men they have prosecuted, and
assisted in prosecuting. The Trade Regula-
tons of the Treasury Department look to
the bcnetitting Of loyal men only, and rebels
are not to be put up in business, or Snug
gled into the trade Of the country, even by
dSSocidtjpg them with loyal men, or EMPLOY
ing them in the houses Of loyal men.
Privileges have been given to rebels here,
and claims have been paid to rebels, that are
anything but creditabIc to the Union cause
In some instances our Department has given
authority to improper persons, so numerous
have been the men we have had to deal
with. We are trying to make amends for
our wrongs by inaugurating a more strict
and rigid policy.

Important Order by Gen. Sherman.
No More RatiOnS to be Issued 10 CIT.
iypnS.

Major General Sherman has issued the fol-.
lowing general order:
Provisions will no longer be issued to cit.
izens at military posts south of Nashville.
Where citizens cannot procure provisions in
the country, there is no alternative but they
must remove to the rear.
Provisions must not be sold to any per.
sons save officers in the service of the United
States, and the hired men employed in the
quartermaster or other departments of the
government, at rate not to exceed one ra-
tion per day. Commanding officers must
give their personal attention to the matter,
as it is of vital Importance. 1t is idle for
us to be pushing forward subsistence stores,
if they are lavished and expended on any
person except they belong to the army
proper

These fifteen men are only n few Of the
many men from East Tennessee who are
starving in Richmond for their dcyotion-o
the United States Government We know
many Of these men, and we know them to
be the best men in Greene county. Some Of
them are honest, patriotic Quakcrs. For
these men and their suiicrings we hold
Ephrajm Link, Jim Johnson Bill gardner dnd
Amos LotSpeich; and these noted rebels are
here, enjoying the privileges OF our city,
The arrest Of these fifteen men was
caused by the rebels of Greene county, and
We think it probable that the fifteen will
die in prison from starvation, nakcdncss
and vermin, They have sons and relatives
who are in our army, and will survive the
rebellion. Let them kill, or cause to be
killed in the most violent manner, all who
were concerned in their arrest. They owe
it to tho imprisoned, to themselves, and to
the cause Of justice, to SEQ that these men
die violent deaths, if it shall take them ten
years to bring about such result, Slaughter
them, we say, wherever and whenever
found.

About six O'Clock this morning, Just
as the Toy and Boston train was lenv-
ing Bennington for Troy, an explosion
took place at the mills of tho Bennington
powder company, mile from the East
Village. There were five separate, dis
tlnct reports attending the explosion,
but, fortunately, not a person was injur-
ed by the accident. -Four buildings were
destroyed 1.-TWO wheel mills, solid struc.
lures, containing machinery, the press
house and corning mill. The cause OF
the accidents il not known. Every care
was taken in the manufacture Of powder
to guard against such occurrences and
protect the workmen. There were only
about twenty five barrels Of powder in
the mills that were destroyed.
In tho village of Bennington the
sound of the accident resent led series

houses were about tumbling upon their
heads. At Toy, thirty miles away, the
noise was heard. At North Adams, %
miles off, plates were Jared from tables

At place called Sandwich East, there
lived poor, widowed colored woman,
named Rice, with five children, the cid

unfortunate woman was seized with the
smallpox, from tho effects Of which she
became totally blind. Her neishbors at
once ceased to visit her, and left both
her aud her little ones to provide for
themselves during the intensely cold
weather as best they might. On New
Years eve the house took fire, and altho o
the neighbors saw it burning, they left

The woman and two children were burn
