NEWS AND oruER mArrERs.


A Pulaski (Tenn.) correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Gazette says that the Pres
ident's proclamation, although but par
TALLY known among the citizens, and
very imperfectly understood, already has
many warm supporters, even in the rebel
county of Giles. If throughout the State
a like proportion of men are found who
are willing to accept the terms of the
proclamation, Tennessee may be restored
to the Union in very short time. Prom
inent Shareholders are clearly convinced
that slavery is dead, and are becoming
black Abolitionists. Like wise men, many
of the owners Of slaves are turning then
over to the Government, relying on it,
good faith to reimburse them, as is nov
done in Missouri.
Adyices from the South say fight oc
Cured on the Fort Gibson, Cherokee,
Nation, between one thousand rebels
under Quantrell, and abont six hundred
Federals, under Colonel Phillips, of tn,
Indiana brigade. The fight lasted seyera
hours and resulted in the complete defea
of the rebels, who scattered in all direC
