What Gen. Burnside says of Grant and
the Army of the Potomac.

The Providence journal has the follow
ing
Gen, Burnside brings very cheering ac-
counts from the Army Of the Potomac, He
does not see the reason for dependency
which seems to prevail here, and to increase
in proportion to the distance from the scene
Of active operations. Con Burnside feels
certain that the enemy has been greatly
weakened by losses, and is wearing away
under the continual pressure Of our forces,
He feels entire confidence in Grant, and thc
officers and army Of the Potomac, provided
they are sustained by tholoyal people ofihc
North. He has no doubt that Grant will
take Richmond, or do something better
Our men stand the heat quite as well a.
those on the other side Burnside, although
Of cheerful temperament is always Il care
full and an honest observer, and his opinion
is Of as much value as amy that could well
be formed We regard it, therefore, as good
cause Of encouragement, and important to
be made public.

Prices for Produce. DC.

The season has been unusually line in East Ten
hcssee, and the crops have proven to be very album
dant, far as they have been cultivated Scarcity
Of laborers, and want of horses and mules with
which to plough, have prevented the farming upon
as large scale as could have been desired Prices
are complained of by many Of the producers, but,
as We think, without cause. Hay has been selling
at two dollars per hundred pounds. Oats at sixty to
eighty cents per DOZEN and Corn will sell at one
dollar per bushel. Green peache, bring one dollar
per bu,hel, and they never were more abundant
Apple bring almost as much. Potatoc, will bring
fine price, and 50 will onions. Chickens sell at
fifty cents each md butter at fifty cents per pound
Thee prices paid here in grecnbacks very read
~, and TO an almost unlimited extent. We repeat
that these are fine prices, and lcaye no grounds or
complaint We who have ]. to pay have The hard.
est bargain, but We do ii cheerfuly as we sympa-
thize with the suffering farmers.

Stop these Flags of Truce.

We are not capable Of advising our military au-
thorites, and if we were we are not pre'umPtioos
enough to undertake such thing. But we hope no
more flags Of truce will be allowed to pass between
US. They are .hamefully and corrupty abused by
the rebels and used to the prejudice of the Union
cause, They ought not to be allowed to keep up
such free and general intercourse posting the enc
my in regard to all our movements. If we have
rebels here who can't live without corresponding
with their rebel and traitor friends in the army of
JEFF Davis, Jet them be sent South, where they can
have the society Of their Seor fric,,ds all the time
We intend no reflection on our military authorities
for any flags that have pas,cd-we simply say they
ought now to be discontinued Experience proves
that they are doing more harm than good by their
abuse on the part Of the rebels.

Trade Regulations in Knoxville.

In our desire to accommodate the citizens Of this
and surrounding counties, we have licensed quite a
number Of trade stores. In most instances the men
taking out authorities have lived up to their obliga-
tons, and sought to do what was rgh-in other in
stances they have disregarded their obligations, and
supposed they were displaying s0,artless by deceu-
ing us and cheating the Government. This class
have about run their men Of business here,
and will only be allowed to ease out Of bwHcss in
the most expeditions way. The Regulations have
been published time and again, for eight months
past, and men in bushes, know what they are and
if they are not disposed to obey them, they have no
right TO continue in business longer
These times, and the oaths men take, are well cal
culatcd to disclose what men are. We know sew
eral gentlemen in this place who have taken the
oath, and We have every confidence in their ntegri-
ty and good intentions, but in the great majority Of
them We have not one particle Of confidence They
have swallowed the amnesty oath to save their prop
erty and to cloak their reasonable designs against
the Government. And so far as this country is con-
cerned the amnesty oath has about played out and
authorities will have to SO regard it, and act in
accordance herewith.

GuerrillaS About.

Small thicving bands of guerrilla- are still doing
mischief in the surrounding particularly
in Blount and jefferson. These thieves and murder
are for the most part led by the sons Of men Of
property who, though they rebels, protected
by our authorities. Let the property Of these men
either be seized and appropriated or let it be de-
stroycd at once as the only mean. of reaching their
guerrilla ohsprngs. Throughout the length and
breadth Of East Tennessee, whore the road, are de-
stroycd, and Union property is taken, let rebel prop
ery be reduced to ashes and their live stock appro-
pratel. They invite these raid-, and arc the u,-
hors indirectly, Of all the injury done. Lot them
be made to suffer the ju-t consequences Of their
treason and yillany Let US all got work soldier
and citizens, and cxterminatc these devils 1t must
come 70 this, and the sooner begin the work the
sooner We shall get through with the job

Rebel Terms of Peace.

The Richmond Examiner, on the 10th of
October, published the following:
"Save on our own terms, we can accept
no peace whatever, and must fight till
doomsday rather than yield one iota to them;
and our terms
|. Recognition by the enemy of the Con-
fcderatc States.
2. Withdrawal of the Yankee forces
from every foot Of Confederate ground, in
GLIDING Kentucky and Missouri.
3. Withdrawal Of Yankee soldiers from
Maryland, until that State shall decide, by
free vote, whether she shall remain in the
old Union or ask admission into the Con-
iederacy.
4. consent on the part Of tho Federal
Government to give up to the Confedcracy
its proportion Of the navy, as it stood at the
time Of secession or pay for the same,
>. yielding up all prctentons on the
part Of the Federal Government to that
portion Of the Territories which lies west
Of the Confederate States.
6. "An equitable settlement on the basis
Of our absolute independence and equal
rights of all accounts of the public debts
and public lands, and the advantages accru-
ing from foreign treaties.
These provisions, we apprehcnd, com
prise the minimum of what we must require
before we lay down our arms. That is to
say, the North must yield all we nothing,
| The whole prctensions of that country to
prevent by force the separation Of the States
must be abandoned, which will be an equiv
alcnt to an avowal that our enemies were
wrong from the first and, of course, us they
wagcd causclcss and wicked war upon us,
they ought, in strict justice, to be required,
! according TO the usagcs in such, to reimburse
us to the whole Of our expenses and losses
in the course of the war
AS surely as we completely ruin their
armies and without that there is no peace
or truce at also surely shall we pay our
war debt, though we wiring it out Of their
! hearts
If you are opposed to the above terms
vote for Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson.

War upon Governor Johnson by Indi.
rectiOn,

report is circulating upon street, TO the cf-
feet that the command of Gen. Gillian are robbing
everybody in their march, irrespective Of their loy
atty or disloyalty. This i u new and indirect way
of attacking the Governor Of the State who sent
these troops here to relieve East Tennessee and b,
is the motive for the attack If the author or au-
thorsof this grave charge against the 9Th and 18th
Tennessee cavalry-for We don't know who they
are-wi write out the charge, over their signatures.
we will give it publicity in our paper.
We kaop that Gen. Gam's command is provided
with funds to pay loyal men cash, and that they pay
them fair prices while they give rebels vouchers to
be paid when they establish their loyalty And
this is even more than rebels deserve.
Men claiming to be Union men may think that
as they are free and chitc men, they have right to
talk about Union commanders and troops as they
please. Perhaps they have, but they would do wei
10 conlinc themselves 10 the truth. The men al
those regiments will not quietly lie under such
charges. The truth is, Cen Gillian would do wei
to return to Knoxville with hi. command and first
whip their enemies in their rear, before they adj
vance upon their enemies in front For men VIII,
are mean enough TO disparagc gallant set Of mel
in the field, lighting the enemies of their country
are base enough to bctray these men into the hand
Of the rebels. Nay they are base enough to rejoic
over any defeat they may meet with, and to labo
TO bring about that defeat.
We are ut informed by either of the gentlemen
but we wafventure the prediction that the two Of
iccrs here in command of troops, Generals Ammof
and Tison, will be found sustaining Gillian and
his little army. So will the real people, on tn,
Union side of this controversy, and wo be TO ,hosc
who are traducing them before this thing is don't

Gen. Gillam'S Operations.

Brig. Gen. Gillian, in command of a force Of cav.
airy and infantry is doing good service in Upper
East Tennessee. He now holds Bulls Gap, and has
about .fjty prisoners on his hands, having killed
more than that number in battle a gentleman who
has witnessed his operations, and is reliable, has
made this statement to us:
KNOXVILLE, Sept, ], 1864,
Gen. Gillian had his hardest fight at Blue Springs,
nine miles west of Grccncvillc and was successful,
killing twcny-scvcn rebels at the Springs, and some
fifteen along the road in their retreat Gen Gillian
is fighting larger force than was anticipated COM
manded by three General officers, Crttcndcn, Nor
gan and Vaughn. Yesterday morning Gillian
drove brigade out of Bulls Gap commanded by
Col Hodge, of South Carolina, and Gillian now
holds the Gap. None of our men were killed. but
two have since died of their wounds.

Convention Of Delegates.

Through the kindness of Brig, Generals Ammon
and Carter thirty Delegates to the Nashville State
Convention were furnished with transportation and
passes for Nashville, on Friday morning, and were
only prevented from going by dispatches informing
them Of the destruction Of the road by the rebels be-
tween Chattanooga and Nashville,
Thcrcupon however, the Dolegatos met in Con-
vonton, in the court house, Samuel Il, Rogers ESD
in the chair and agreed upon nm Electoral Ticket
rs follows. For the State AT Large Horace May
nurdi for tho First District, h, r. Butler Of John
son, and for the Second o, 7, Temple, Of KnoX,-
Many citizens of these Districts were present. and
acted with the Delegates and while there was II
good deal Of enthusiasm, there was great unanimty
Of sentiment
Speeches were made by Mcssrs, Butler, Tomplc,
Meek, Matthews and Caldwell. There wcrs no
friends of the Chicago nominees in the meeting, but
all were jealous for Lincoln and johnson, as the
only hope Of the country and upon whose election
depended the successful prosecution Of the war
And tho sentiments advanced by the speakers were
warmly greeted and enthusiastically chcorcd by the
audience, Give US vote in East Tennessee next
November, and we will give the Lincoln and John
son ticket such majority as no ticket has received
here since 1910. Our Union people ARE not for the
Peace Democrats, the aniwar patriots and the odds
and ends of all Gods creation, lately figuring at
Chicago, The people of this loyal portion of Ton
ncssce are for the Federal Government and the
Federal army, and they are against those who are
not for them.

Eeign On the first of February, 1861, the TcxaI
convention passed an ordinance of secession and
plunged headlong into a war against the Govern1
ment that had paid untold millions TO buy them oil
from the tyranny of Spain and the expressions Of
Mexico. The same day the rebel authorities u
Louisiana seized upon the United States Mint and
Custom House at New Orleans. On the It'll Of
February, an army of traitors, calling themSclvc

a Confederate Government. -Four days later, thd
traitor in charge of the United States Arsenal NJ
Little Rock surrendered that property to the rebel

bear in mind was before Lincoln came into power
or the world knew what his policy would be.

The newspapers OF Raleigh, North Carolina, are
the most interesting in the COnfederacy-at least
Gov. Vance and Mr.. Holden ought to think so.-
AtLGnta Register.
Some of the newspapers here interest themselves
very much in relation to us, and are compelled
to pay them back with interest 1t not our fault
if the newspapers are dull But the Register does
the Confederate of this City injustice. 1t has
idea of the excitement-of the tempest in tea

by some new and terrible charge against US. The
word now is, Eoery one run here-prspare to be
ercited-hedrken to uhat Col McRae is about 10

soldiers, "take my head for a soapgourd" If the
Editor of the Register were only resident Of our
beautiful little City he would soon come to lppre-
ciate the interesting" character Of our eghbor

Col Samuel c. Bryson, of the 25th n. G. regiment

is an ultra Destructive. His regiment, we learn'
sometime since nearly unanimously petitioned Gov
Vance to convene the Legislature and recommend to

the people, but Gov. Vance paid no attention 10
their request He treated them with the same con-
tempt which he showed for similar PentiOns IRON
