A long conversation with Colonel Rains,
the Superintendent OF the Government
powder mills in Augusta, and also the man :.
ager of the arsenal Of construction and OF
the cannon foundery in this city, has taught
me more than to admire the Ingenuity and
energy which the Confederates have brought
to bear upon their struggle. Starting with
out any powder mill in the Southern States
except small one at Nashville, which soon
passed out Of their hands-without any
large establishment for making machinery,
and without single trip hammer between
the Chesapeake and the Rio Grande-de
fcient in iron, lead, copper, tin, saltpeter,
cannon, small arms, everything save food
they have taught the world lesson in re-
gard to the .impossibility OF subjugatlng, a
brave people, which will point historical
moral for ages to como.
There are two men whose names are sell
dom heard in connection with the history
of this war, but. who have probably con-
tributed more to the Confederate success
than any other persons, with the exception
of Lee, Jackson and Longstreet, l mean
Colonel Raius and Captain Brooke. Both
of them modest and unObtrusive men, sb'
sorbed in scientific researches, inexhaustl'
BILE in the utility of their resorees, indeiatl-

told | have seldom had the advantage of
encountering any man whose conversation
was so instructive and interesting as that
of Colonel Rains. His recapitulation of the
difficulties which he had to encounter, Of
the deficiencies which he has every day to
supplement and circumHent by ingenuity,
and the results Of his work, as evidenced by
his contributions to the Confederate armies
is such as awaken amazement. ---
In former letter, written some months ago
from this town, gave short sketch of the
Augusta powder mill. From that time up
to the present hour its efficiency has been
constantly on the increase, and as evidence
pitts prolific, working, may mention that
since its open; 'g on the 9th of April, 1852,

pounds Of powder to Richmond alone, ex-

The Dispatch says Capt. Ekin, staf-of-
fcer, from Knoxville Thursday, a week ago
brings information that Longstreet had
been reinforced with 20, 1000 men, and was
advancing on Knoxville, pushing Granger's
forces before him. 1t was thought that
our army would be compelled to fall back to
the intrenchments at Knoxville.
1t was reported that John Morgan at the
head of 5000 cavalry, was about to make
a movement to cut off communications be-
tween Knoxville and Chattanooga, or for a
raid in Kentucky.

CHATTANOOGA, Jan. ii.
Let no one deceive HIMSELF The army
Of Gen. Grant has done much; has gone far
toward demoralizing the rebels and wea'
ken their military sources; but the contest
for East Tennessee is not over! Conscious
that all is lost unless it is regained, des.
perate blow will be struck at the first favor
able opportunity, and it will, fall not upon
our right or our left, but upon the center
of our long line of advance, will fall upon
Knoxville.
Do not believe the stories circulated
among the Frightened hangers on about the
ca pital of the nation that Lee is being re-
inforced from Longstreet. and that an ad-
vance into Northern Virginia is contempla-
ted. Such policy would be suicidal. On
the other hand Lee'e army will be depleted
to strengthen Longstreet, and heavy on
saught will be made on Foster with the
hope of overpowering him, and, if successful
rush will be made into Central Ken

all they expect such moyemen. will com

Of the fact that Longstreet received l2,-
900 reinforcements some time since, have
the most positive assurances from official
circles; but as yet, ho has been Joined by no
other troops But this is only matter of
expediency. The scarcity ofprovisions and
forage in East Tennessee would dictate that
those who can be fed elsewhere should not
be forwarded till about the time they are
needed, and glance at the map will con-
vince any one that the necessity for imme-
diate reinforcements does not exist In the
present instance, as troops can be forwarded
at the rate OF two thousand five hundred
per day, from Lynchburg to East Tennes-
see; and that at that rate, a few days would
enable the enemy to send Lees whole army
thither. That they will do this, if they
deem it necessary in order to insure sue
cess, have no doubt; and we must be pre-
pared for q desperate struggle, for one will
come near the point indicated

Some time since intimated that the cav.
airy would be kept active if the weather
would permit; need scarcely add now that
the frigid season has prevented any impor-
tant movement hitherto, though if warm
weather follows, as now appears probable,
then look out for some active work. Tho
rebels have stores at Rene, and their army
is in no condition to defend them; but do
not wish to be understood as asserting that
Rome is in danger. There are important
