East Tennesseans on the War Path


We are indebted to a citizen Of Wood
bury, Cannon county, for full particu
lars of one of the most gallant exploits
which has yet crowned the career of
that noble regiment, the 9TH Tennessee
cavalry. 1t appears that Col Stokes
learned, as early as the 10th, that Champ
Ferguson designed making a raid on
the Nashville and Chattanooga Rail-
road, and Immediately made prepare
tons to thwart his designs. Companies
a" and G" eighty men strong, under
Captains Blackburn and Kane-the
former commanding the battalidh-were
Immediately despatched in the direction
of the anticipated danger ii did not
arrive in time; and on the following
day, train was captured, as our readers
have already been fully informed
The pursuit, however, was continued,
and on the 18th, the day after the at
tack on the train. Capt Blackburn's
command cAme up with Ferguson.
between Manchester and Mc8Iinn-
vile, who immediately fed. Our forces,
however, lost no time in assailing him,
and after skirmish of an hour or
more, Il of the rebels were either kill
ed or captured The prisoners were
Immediately taken out and shot, in re
taliation for their recent murders. This
act of severity was demanded by the
dreadful circumstances; it is the only
manner in which the lives Of loyal mel
can be protected If men will become
murderers, let them meet a homicides
doom, and that without ceremony.
On the morning of the 18th, Black
burns men again overlook the guerril-
las on a little stream called Calfkilly
river, near where it empties into Caney
Fork, and there killed eight Of the vii
lains.
In the first days fight Champ Fer
guson was wounded in the thigh, but
he made his escape; but there is Il
probability that he is secreted in
house in the vicinity of the battle field;
and if so, he viii be found, and des-
patched.
Our cavalry is yet pursuing the fugi-
tives in the direction of Short Noun
tain, and II is believed that they will
all be slain. They numbered from so
to 50 men, before the first fight. We
are happy TO say that in the whole
affair we lost not a man killed. nor
seriously wounded.

The vulnerable Point.

In our edition OF yesterday we pub
lished letter from the rebel Congress
man Singleton, to a friend in Canton,
Mississippi, under date Of January Goth;
a period Of calm in both armies, and
when the rebels at least were maturing
their measures for the spring campaign.
It was captured during the late Sher-
rnsn expedition, and given to the world
through the Chicago Tribune. It was
a confidential communication, written
by one who was in the secrets Of the
Davis Regency, 10 an intimate &C
quaintance, in full sympathy with him
and consequently its revelations are
matters of the highest moment.
In his views Of the probable charac-
ter of Gen. Grants operations, he be
trays the weak points Of the Confeder-
acy, and the best method Of striking a
fatal blow ct its vitals.
He believes that Leo can be fanked
by movement into North Carolina, and
that the result, if successful, will be
that his army will either be disbanded
or destroyed. Then" he adds, 1T be
comes a matter of the first moment tc
guard the rear Of the army Of the Pc

mond; the Vicksburg campaign would
be repeated, and Lee leveled with
Pembcrton. We have full faith that
Gen. Grant viii drive the rebels from
Virginia and North Carolina; and that
an advance viii, at the proper time,
be made from Chattanooga, in accord
with the fears OF Mr.. Singleton.

Cut Cor Fremont.

The Quincy Tribune, the leading
radical organ Of Illinois, has now hoist
ed the name of John c. Fremont as the
peoples candidate for the Presidency,
and the Bohemian paper published in
St Louis, the Pozoor, has done 50 like
wise.
Tho Quincy Tribune argues that
something should be done to oppose
tho old convention system, which is
rotten to the core, and has become a
mere marketing of votes in exchange
for fat Offices. The Tribune con-
tinues:
It is tho object Of the radicals TO strike a
blow against this convention system, and
il matters not whether they carry their
candidate or not for, even if they are de-
feated, they will have paved the way for
the sbolshment Of this miserable nuisance,

E1 The Stars and Stripes finds cause for
generalization in tho fact that at the late
district primary elections of its party, in this
county, some precincts cast even more votes
than we're given for Low last September, and
that number Of Copperheads came forward
and gave in their adhesion to Uncle Abra
ham. Tho large vote was owing to the null
tiplicity Of candidates for the offices of Col
lsctor and Assessor in the three districts, and
the aspiranls slipped in every vote they could
command without reference to the politics OF
the voter. If candidate suspected a vote
was going against himself, the vote was chal-
lenged; but if favorable, he did not stop TO
inquire whether the voter was an Abolition
list or Democrat. We know that candidates
personally solicited the votes of Democrats,
who would not and did not take part in the
elections Of party to which they did not
belong. Doubtless, number of persons
we're induced TO vote, who are not of the par
ty, and will not support its candidates. In
fact, in a number of instances where the test
was applied. persons refused to subscribe to
it, and their votes we're rejected. But from
the anxiety Of candidates to secure delegates.
there is not a shadow of doubt that they got
in many votes uncbalIenged, that upon eec-
ton day will not vote the ticket. We have
no apology to offer for Democrats who thus
interfere in the primaries of their opponents
such proceedings are wholly unwarrant'
able. Let the Lincoln party fight their own
battles, among themselves. A man who calls
himself Democrat, and dabbles in the pli-
maries of The opposition, has no laurels to
win, but deserves and will receive censure
The strong solicitation OF candidates makes
no difference; and the person who succeeds
over his rivals, for nomination, by such
means, cannot but be regarded with suspicion
BY bis own party.
The Stripes may regard the large vote as
an indication Of Lincoln strength but in
few days number of defeated candidates
can ewear that it was accomplished by pipe
laying and trickery.

county: 1t having been reported from sources
entitled TO some credit. that the persons residing
in this State named in TIT act of Congress incOr-
por;ltng the Central Pacific Railroad Co.. and
granting to the company certain rights and pri-
vileGcs, have assumed that such grants were made
to them rs individuals and have also assumed to
sell the same to the company incorporate under
the laws OF this State as the Central Pacific Rail
road Co. and have received in pay therefor Il
large amount OF the paid up capital stock of said
company. such amount extending to number OF
million OF dollars; and whereas, such transac-
ton would be in great fraud of the interests OF
Placer county as Il stakeholder of the corpora
ton. If there is not much reason to suppose that
the frauds has been consummatcd, yet, there is
fear that it has been; therefore you are requested
TO fully examine the books Of the corporation to
ascertain the trnti OF such reports, or to appoint
some competent persons to make such eXamina
ton in behalf OF the county.
