Mr. Semmes stated that he had put In two

accomplished great deal more with sumcIent

The Chair suggested that as labor was very
scarce 1t would be well for employees to con-
tribute to the fund and thereby avoid draft in
men and benefit themselves. "a -
Mr.. Mc4innis thought the city authorities
should make some appropriation to relieve the

CAPTURE OF YANKEES IN EAST TENNEs.
SEE "A few days ago Maj. Day of Rucher's
Legion captured at Big Spring, Claiborne
County, Tenn, seventy. five Yankees, with
their horses and arms, besides killing FIVE
or six and wpunding several.
A letter dated Headquarters, Jan. 25th,
says: ..-y..
Maj, Day made an attack upon Tazewell
yesterday morning, with the intention OF
capturing the garrison, but found 1000 in.
fantry and eight pieces of artillery there.
Gen. Longstreet had given him but 500 men.
He made the attack and withdrew after one
hour fighting. He lost one man killed.
He captured twelve Yankees, killed five
and wounded several. He drove two Fegi
ments into town and remained at the south
edge Of town until driven away by their ar
tiIlery. We retreated in good order, the

,.c On the 29th ult. q large wagon-train was
captured between New Greek and Peters
burg but this disaster caused very little
| excitement in our town but on the "a
instant the raid eliminated. About 2 P. M
couriers arrived announcing that the North
Branch and Patterson creek bridges, situs-
ted respectively six and eight miles east
Of this place, had been burned he reb-
els. The long roll summoned the soldiers
to arms, who soon took position about two
miles southeast of our town. Soon the
supports arrived, but the "rebs" didn't
come. They having accomplished their
work retired without molestatiOn.
The forces at the bridges which made
the capture have been variously estimated
at from sixty to two thousand five hundred
men. They captured one company Of the
Fifty fourth Pennsylvania troops, that was
guarding the bridges. Casualties-one
killed, one mortally and several slightly
wounded of the federals. Confederates
none. Our forces bivouaced on the chosen
field, awaiting the approach Of the rebels (;
but Rosser. having accomplished his work,
was fast skedaddling to a place of safety
Pursuit then commenced, but our forces
had managed to keep just far enough in
the rear of tho rebels not to provoke col
lision. We lost all About one hundred

tons, clothing. and munitions OF war also
the motive power of this immense train,
consisting of five hundred or six hundred
horses and mules. Also several cannon
aud quite number Of prisoners "gobbled"
u up on the route, and especially on the field
where the train was captured.
For the last three months the confedera-
tes, have drawn large supplies from this de-
partment. On the 10Th of November 1868
they captured valuable train and stores
On the Sd of January, 1864, another train
was showed off on the Lane road: One mil
lion dollars would not replace the loss by the
last raid.
The excitement has subsidized, but the
disgrace remains. We have again relapsed
into fancied security, but We know
not what minute the Graders" may be upon
US. ..
Gen. Kelley has doue all that could be
done to avert these calamities, but his force
is insufficient to protect three hundred
miles of railway, accessible at all points by
these daring raiders. = sa,

A PROPOSITION for an investigation into
the Naval Department is before Congress.
What is the use Of it? We have bad inves.
tigation upon investigation, time and again,
and they have exhibited end'oss frauds, yet
we see nothing effectual done 20 prevent
them. Why, then, this useless expenditure
of time and money in a pursuit that tends
to nothing7 What is the use of detecting
frauds when their number and fragrance
still increased Why hold up to the public
the appearance of endeavoring to check a
system of plunder when nothing is really
done2 There have been millions stolen in
the War Department. and We hear of no
decrease. The same can be said of the
Treasury Department. There is no reason
to doubt that the same is in the Naval De
partment, but of what good is proof without

The Work Of Hate.

The Tribune reports General CAN'T to

The non shareholders Of the South
that is, the small farmers, who cultivated
their own and-asuer did unite the rebel
lion. He General Gantt) was a slavehold
er, and rebel, and he did bis very utmost
to get the poor to vote with him; yet be
assures us that, IN counties and neighbor-
hoods where he used easily to get seven,
eighths OF the voters to act with him as q
Democrat, he had to work very hard and
use every means to get third of them to
90 with him for secession. This was in
benign Southern Arkansas: who believes
it was ever otherwise in Western North
Carolina, Northern Georgia, or Western
Texas, any more than in East Tennessee 2
We have no doubt that what General
CAN'T is reported to have said is true as
matter of fact We have never doubted
that secession was the act of minority
The proceedings in the Virginia convention
which carried the "mother of States" into
rebellion attests this, and establishes be.
yond all dispute that, but for the traitorous
hate of certain Republicans in the peace
convention at Washington in 1861, such
thing as the Confederate States of America
would never have been possible. 1t was
the absence of all sense, of all statesman.
like perceptions on the part of leading
Republicans, which permitted separation to
extend beyond South Carolina and por'
tiun of the people of the Gulf States
Abraham Lincoln seems to have been struck
with idiocy at that hour Of supremest inn
port to the Union. No ruler but George
III. was ever so reckless and senseless at
the spectacle of losing ons-half his empire.
A word of eoncilaton and compromise
then from the dominant party would have
bound Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia,
Louisiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky,
Tennessee, and Maryland fast to
the Union, and left the Gulf States a
miserable faction, powerless for evil, and
to return again TO reason and loyalty. The
feroeity Of hate inspired our chosen leaders
then, and we see the result.

The, Rev. JAMES A.KIBBE, q Methodist
clergyman located in Hampden county,
Massachusetts, was canght recently in the
sleeping apartment'of a young girl BY her
father, who was ono of ,KIBBE's parishion-
ers. As ths only garment the parson had
on was q shirt, and the time was midnight,
the case looked slightly suspicious, more
especially as he was found armed with a
dirk and a loaded revolver, neither of which
however, he attempted to use. Of course,
he had an explanation to offer; but the
only part Of it which is likely to interest
the public is the following. We quote
from the Springfield Republican "With
regard to the revolver and dirk, he says
that lie bslongsto the Union League, eoery
member Of phich is obliged to carry "s''c@
sosapons." As KIBBE's statement was
made in q community where loyal leagures
abound, it is not likely he would have told
an untruth SO far as this particular matter
was concerned, and, besides, it has not been
denied by any of the members Of the So
ciety implicated. % - =
Now the question arises, what do the
members of the Loyal League want with
dirks aud revolvers in peaceful community
What Interior designs have this secret and
irresponsible organization which willrequire
the use of force to accomplish? 1t now apI
pears that while the abolition press were
inventing bogus stories about knights Of
the Golden Circle" and charging Demo
Gratis with belonging to traitorous secret
organizations, they were themselves calling
into life a secret society the members of
which, although clergymen, are required to
carry concealed weapons. Is it not time
for the public to be made aware of the real
objects the WETMoREs, GoULDs and KIBBEs
have in view?

TIE lull in affairs which has blessed the
country until lately is about terminated. -
The day of weary Congressional debates
and political squabbles is about to give way
to scenes of more tragic character Every
indication is of increased activity IN mill
tary STAIRS. For the tame debatesthat came
fat upon the appetite, will be again served
up the rocking and steaming feast OF oa'tie
and sudden death. The saddest truth In
this is. that the morbid appetite OF the
public Graves this unnatural food, and that
many, unconsciously to themselves, perhaps
have pleasure in the terrible and -ghastly
details Of great battles. Yet more, We
trust, have supped full of these horrors,
and pray that this may be the last time they
will have to read in letters Of blood the
history of nations errors and crimes.

Atlanta. Ga.

well informed gentleman, who has ira
yelled extensively through the South, and
who is well acquainted with the bearings OIL
the whole question of the rebellion, says
that the general opinion in Atlanta, Gs.,
and, in fact, all through the South, is that
Gen. Grant will certainly move upon this
city IN the early spring. He fears, however,
that this will be difficult if not an im
possible feat to be accomplished. even ny such
a great general as Grant. In a hostile and
mountainous country like Georgia, without
any advantages of water communication,
end With the liability of the railway con-
nectious being cut of, it will be rather
hazardous job to keep up communications
and get up supplies for an army Of invasion
as large as Grants must be. According TO
the opinion of our informant, the command
ing general may send out heavy raids TO
seize, burn, and destroy the rebel works In
the CITY, which are Of incalculable benefit
to the Southern cause. Tho general I'M
preston in Georgia is that Atlanta will be
the first point attacked after the opening OF
the spring campaign. The people of that
State. with this idea in view, are making the
most determined preparations to resist the
expected invasion. Boys of sixteen and
men of eighty years of age are being drill
ed in the same regiments, all inspired with
the one idea of defending their new-tangleo
confederacy Our informant thinks tnae,
whenever 40 attack is made on this POINT,
there will be heavy force of rebels to re-
ceive our forces When an attack OF R"se
Grams was expected, the rebels had thou
sands of men ready to defend Atlanta against
his soldiers. The rebel government called
out from six to eight thousand men, but
four times the number voluntarily present
ed themselves, and were enrolled to serve
the State during the threatened attack
