Election Returns.

The voting is through with in Tennessee and we
regret that up to the time of going to press we are
not able to give fuller returns. This county has met
our expectations but would have given larger
loyal vote if there had been opposition Before the
vote was cast lAcn Of intelligence born and raised
in tho county assorted that not moro than three
hundred votes would be cast in the county. Others
said five hundred, and others even bet that there
would not be one thousand votes pollcd. This only
shows how little leading citizens of the town know
of the feelings principles and purposes of the real
people who have suffered SO much from the rebel
lion. The people are sick of the war, they want
the rebellion crushed out and they are for the mon
for President and Vice President who will prosecute
the war. And the people are not only for this but
they are for it with will, as the vote of the county
shows

AyOWed Rebels Holding Meetings.

On the Sth and 9th days of last MONTH Carroll
Long and his brother IiLliam, assisted by Dr.. NJ
son, all noted rebels, held sacramental meeting in
the name of the Methodist Ch,ach South. They
had eight male communicates and few females
nearly all Of the jeff Davis school of politics. AZ
ter service, they proposed to receive members into
the Southern Church, and one female from the knobs
came forward and joined The leading spirit at this
meeting, Carroll Long, remarked not long since that
il would be better for the women and children to
perish than for the Confederacy to fail of her indie
pendence. This man Long is member of the
rebel Holston Conference. 1t is surprising that
these men are allowed to assemble to infuse their
treason into the minds of the people. They
pretend to be holding religious meetings, but are
really holding rebel meetings. This meeting was
at Chestooee Camp Ground, not far from Athens

Affairs In North Carolina.

The entire State of North Carolina is alive with
deserters, who in most cases are armed and organ
lied, and are fully able to protect themselves. In
the Western parttf the State they reign supreme;
they not only make repeated raids on wealthy plan
tiers and rebel depots for supplies but receive and
arm refugees of AFRICAN descent who are coming
in to them. These men of color accompany the
raiders in their foraging expeditions.
The rebel authorities have given up all hope of
forcing these men back into the ranks, having been
repused in all their efforts to this end. Every eff
fort made to subdue these men has proved failure,
and those who were not killed deserted to the insur-
gents, who are composed of rebel deserters and OPP
pressed Union men, whose numbers are increasing
daily. jeff. Davis said in recent speech at Raleigh,
that the deserters of the Confederate army outnum-
bercd the Confederate soldiers in the field An ex-
tensve conspiracy recently brought to light at
Raleigh, duplicates many prominent men, of the
conservative party who now openly threaten to lead
these deserters and Union conscrpts and take pos
session of the State Government and all the rail-
roads in the event the authorities fail to institute
speedy action for peace.
Verify they are having good time in the Old
North State and prayer is, that their troubles
may be increased, until the rebel authorities are
Oyerthrownl

News from Richmond,

The sore-headed lovers of slavery at the North,
and the lovers of the institution at the South should
all read the following extracts from the Richmond
Enquirer, the organ of jeff Davis The tender
hearted saints of the South will if they continue to
grow in grace, be enabled to look on calmly at the
arming Of negroes.
The Enquirer says:
The CONSUMPTION of negroes should be accompa-
MED with freedom and the privilege of remaining
in the States this Is no part Of abolitionsm il is
the exercise by the master Of the unquostionable
right of manumission. II j. rcmunerating those
who defend our cause with the privilege Of freedom
Nor would this important subject be prejudced with
questions about putting the negro on equality with
our friends brothers and fathers. Many of the SOL
diers in their childhood were fondled and nursed by
faithful negro nurses and yet no question Of equal-
ty was ever raised. Many man has manumitted
slaves without being subjected to the suspicion
of being an abolitionst.
We have in our midst half million Of fighting
material which is propcrty-shall we use that prop
ertv for the common cause? Justice and sound pol
icy demand that we make freemcn Of those who
fight for freedom. We conscript the master and
impress his horses, cattle. wheat and every other
property except slaves. This very exception is an
imputation that this is for slavery and not for
freedom.

The Fight at Decatur.

We have seen several letters from Tennessee of
hcers in the fight at Decatur, on the Union side,
giving particulars up to the closing out of the fifth
day The substance of all is, that Beauregards at
lacking force numbers about thirty thousand. Our
loss in killed and wounded is about one hundred and
twenty. The rebel loss amounts TO hundreds, but
We have no means Of ascertaning facts as they bury
their own dead and run their wounded to the rear.
Our forces have had the advantage, fighting on the
defensive and from behind their works. The rebels
have been severely punished, and will have TO ADAM
don the fight without the capture Of Decatur.
Brgadier General Robert ). Granger has COM
manded our forces and conducted the matter with
skill and success.
