New JAIL-at least the County Com
missioners are taking about fitting up
new jail. Well, i: is high time, for more
horrible den than the present Jail, is hard
to conceive. We hope the talking" will

while, common humanity demands that
some ventilation should be secured to the
poor fellows who occupy the middle cell,
IN which it is hardly possible to breathe.

Taking the Oath.

We give below the late oath of the Presi-
dent aud the names of two hundred citizens
who have come forward and taken it, before
tho Provost Marshal General, since the first
of January, 1864 1t is astrong oath, but it
ought to be, MS il grants all the rights and
privileges Of citizens TO those taking it.
Union men can feel no sort of opposition to
the oath, and rebels ought to be made take
il or leave the country
We know most of these persons, and can
safely say that many of them will live up
to what they have sworn, Others Of them,
and nj least half of them we have no sort
of confidence in, and we do not suppose for
moment that they took the oath with any
rood intention, but to cloak their treason,
and to shield them while they play the spy
for the rebels. Some of these have been
eXulting ut the prospect of Longstrcet com
ing in, when they saw Il portion Of our cav
airy coming in town from the front ON
Tuesday and Wednesday, They were SO
perfectly eiatcd that they could not conceal

we give the oath and their names, that our
friends may watch them, and have them

NEW YORK, January ID.
Colonel Goodrich, of General Burnside S

Traveller Of last evening, preparing TO or
ganizc from New England an expedition by
land and sea, Of which tho old Ninth Army
Corps is to form the nucleus. The Massa-

department includes Maine, Vermont and

Portsmouth, n. II. Colonel Lorng will
recruit for the above in this city Colonel
Goodrich. in an interview with Gov. Gil
more of New Hampshire, and Gen. links,
found them ready to cooperate with the
enterprise in every manner. The three
New Hampshire regiments, 9th, 9th and
18th, will be promptly filed, and with a fine
class of men. The headquarters Of General
Burnside will be in New York.

Esi3" CuDJo's CAVE is the name Of new novel
about to be published by Msssrs. Tilton Il Co, Bos-
ton. The author Mr.. J. T. Trowbridge is also the
author of "Ncighbor lakewood and some of the
most popular contributions of the atlantic Thi.
story is of Rebel Dcspotism and Union Patriotism
in East Tennessee. The Boston correspondent OF
the springfield Republican whose criticisms are
perhaps, as reliable as any We have, says;
IL have read the sheets and am sure that for dra-
matte skill and intense interest, few books Of
of late years are equal to it. Somehow other we
cannot quite make up our minds that tales Of adj
venture in East Tennessee in ls6l are quite real
as those which Cooper relates occurring during
the old French War or the Revolution. But it
must he the ncarness alone which weakens the en-
chantment Some of Trowbridges descriptions of
border warfare quite equal to the best of Coo
pers. His genius Is dramatic; and the. reader is
carried swiftly almost brcathlesslv, along. Some Of
his characters also are exceedingly good. The
negroes Pomp and Guido; Dan Pspperill4 the poor
white Dcslow, the pro-.lavery Unionist, who be-
trays his fellows for slavery, sake the old minis
ter, and Carl the Dutch boy-are well painted"
The orders for this book, the reputation Of the
author and interesting locality ,,of the story, have
been so numerous as TO delay the publication till
a much larger edition than was first contemplated

LOngStreet's Position.

The Richmond Examiner says Longstreet s
position is one of the most advantageous on
the theatre of the war. 1t TANKS Thomas
army and threatens the enemy's communi-
cations through Knoxville and Nashville.
Is within thirty miles of Cumberland Gap,
on the East Tennessee and Virginia railroad.
which will be completed to Longstrcet S
headquarters, in three weeks, and thus in
case of emergency bring the army of Ten
nessee within supporting distance of Rich
mond. In short, it is the controlling posi-
ton between Lee and Johnston, and at the
same time close enough to Kentucky for an
easy invasion of that State whenever the
signal may be given for such movement.

The People of East Tennessee.

An entertainment was given to General
Burnside, ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the
18th inst From brief synopsis of n
speech he made we copy the following:
He then paid glowing tribute to the
patriotism of the people of East Tennessee.
Their scf-sacrfcing loyalty was every
where apparent They notified him of tho
|approsch of l.ongstrcct's forces they hail
ed his army with cheers. waving flags they
had concealed under their beds and under
the floors of their dwellings for that pur-
pose they chcerfully gave up the contents
of their cellars and barns, their crops and
their cattle, to supply his men when they
were without rations. While at Knoxville
his army was supplied with bread by loyal
citizens who sent daily during the siege
more than ono hundred wagon loads of
flour and forage and every night they
foaed boat-loads of provisions down the
river, through the fog and darkness, past
the pickets of the enemy. They did this,
and thanked God they had the privilege of
feeding the Yankees

establishments,

The Richmond Enquirer, speaking Of the
announcement Of the re-enlistmcnt Of 50
many Union troops for the war, says:
"The action of the enemy in this matter
is important to us, The preservation of
this organization shows that they intend to
move forward at the earliest practicable
moment in the Spring. If they will not
sacrifice an organization which has stood
the ordeal of two years campaigning, can
we afford to hazard the experiment of open
ing the spring campaign under officers re-
Gently organized, with companies unaccus-
toned to association and men strangers to
each other? We shall need every energy
of national defense for the spring campaign.
Richmond will, in all probability, be APP
preached from the Rappahannock as well
as from the Black Water. In northern
Georgia the fate of Atlanta and in South
in North Carolina that of Wilmington, all
must be decided in the spring"
The Richmond Sentinel of the 10Th in an
editorial says:
"To the timd the newborn yoar lowers
gloomily; to the prudent there appears
cause for anxious solicitude, while even he
roism itself sees that the tug of war, the
crisis of the struggle is upon us and that we
must prepare ourselves for the tremendous
shock. We cannot contemplate the coming
next, and fourth campaign of the pending
war without solctudc. Wcshal be strong
~ pressed by the enemy. They are making
busy preparations, They are buying mer-
ccnarics for the fight, as men buy sheep for
the SHAMELESS They are paying bountes
the half Of which the world never heard of
before. They are spending money with II
reckless protusion that contrasts strangely
with their native parsimony
"Om enemies, too, will commence the
next campaign with some advantages of
position, which they did not have at the be-
ginning of 1863. They will begin at Chat
tanooga instead of Nashville; at Vicksburg
instead of Memphis. They come flushed,
also, with wild hopes, and they are animal
cd with increased arrogance"
