"Our principles" What principles? The pub
Usher, Mr.. Nea.hery, is maintained as shade eff

The Conservative, as in duty bound, is to be ga

fender" of Gov. 'Vance-how could it be other
wise?-and it will do the same for Mr. Davis, when

distinction without difference, for it is we'll known
to every intelligent observer that the administra-

Davis.

Of the stockholders, Mr.. Conservative We would
like to know how much of the money subscribed

of the country when the peoples own officers and
the peoples own money are used to manufacture
opinions for the people.

We make the following extract from the CORES
pondence of one of our Southern exchanges, in re-
lation to the condition of Gen. Hoods army its
way towards Tennessee:
at is to be regretted that Gen. Hoods army is
so badly provided with blankets and shoes in this
extrao, binary movement Whole regiments are
barefooted while blankets with any of the men is
rather the exception than the rule. And there are
some regiments who have not been paid in fifteen
months Of course then, the men have nothing
in the way of money with which to purchase cloth
ing themselves. There are many hundreds of men
here and in camp at Blue Mountain, for the want
of proper outfits. They are full of enthusiasm and
anxious to Join the advancing army, but are kept
back by the cause indicated. The wind is already
cold and chilling in these mountains, and unless the
country promptly forwards these supplies, or Gen.
Hood goes into Tennessee and Kentucky and cap
lures them, there will be great suffering among his
troo}s But there can be no excuse for the govern
ment in not paying off the men, The officers and
men on post duty, the detailed men at home, the
contractors, the quartermasters; in fact every body
the poor soldier in the ranks, is promptly paid.
1t is enough to arouse the indignation Of the whole
country"
What shame 1t Is that these brave men are thus
| treated There may be scarcity of blankets and
Shoes but there ought to be no scarcity of money,
for the government can make it as fast it can be
printed and signed. One of the first considerations
ought always to be, to pay the soldiers their wages
promptly when due. Indeed, if the government
would pay them their wages sac months in adcance
it would not be doing too much for them. Such a
| policy, if adopted now, even if not continued,
would infuse new life into our gallant loops. They
| would feel that the government thought Of and
cared for them and ready to atone for its past
neglect in this respect, by thus aiding them and
their families during the winter, now so close at
hand. Money paid to the soldiers is not lost: 1t is
just so much invested In the best patriotism of the
country. Pay the soldiers! Never let it be said
again that the officers and contractors can get their
pay promptly whep due, but that the common SOL
der cannot get his until six twelve, and sometimes
| fifteen months have elapsed.

Meeting in Sewer County.

At recent Union meeting in Seyierviile
the following resolutions were, adopted
The meeting was large enthusiastic, and
harmonious and was addressed by CoIoneIs
Butler and IIouk. There is no mistake as
to th9 sentiments of the people There are
/ few leading men Who are copperheads be-
cause they either own negro or are related
10 some one who does, but there are none
among the real voters of the county. They
are all right, and express, whenever called
upon, sentiments similar to these expressed
in Sewer county:
Resoired, That we are for a vigorous pros
ecutiOn Of the war, and are not willing for
any compromise until every armed traitor
submits to the laws OF the land
ReS0Ired That we heartily endorse the
administration Of Abraham Lincoln in his
efforts to suppress the rebellion, and we
hereby pledge ourselves torender him every
assistance within our power to carry Oh the
glorious work
Res0irsd That the nomination Of Alra-
ham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson at the
Baltimore Convention meets our approba-
ton, and We hereby ratiiy the same and
will give them our hearty and undivided
support.
Rcs0Ircd That the doctrines embodied in
the platform adopted by the Baltimore Con
vention are the only safe ones for all truly
loyal men to endorse, and we will lock upon
all men who oppose the principles enumer-
ated IN said platform with suspicion, and
we regard any opposition to the election of
Abraham Lincoln IS giving aid and comfort
TO JEFF Davis and the rebellion.
RcSoIred, That as it is necessary for this
Congressional District to have an eIcctor.
and will probably be impracticable to hold
Convention for that pGrpose, We hereby
express our preference for Col. r. X. Butler
OF johnson county, tor that position, and
hereby nominate him for the same
Rcsoircd, That ". e. Brownlow, Of Knox
vile, is our first choice for Governor.
ReSoired, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Knoxville
Wing and Rebel NcntiIator, and Nashville
Times

THE "GATE CITY" CAPTURED!
The "Last Ditch" Approached!

Cen Sherman's victorious army entered
The city of Atlanta on the morning Of the
22d Of July. 1864 and from that date we
date the breaking Of the backbone of the
Cotton State Monarchy The capture OF
Atlanta is the severcst blow that has befal-
.en the rebel Confederacy since the iEaugu-
ration of the rebellion. 1t is very aPpro-
priateIy called the Gate City" as it is the
terminus Of the Atlantic and Western rail
road, leading from Chattanooga, distance
Of l49 miles; rs the Macon and Western
railroad starts out there distance to Macon

out there, leading to West Point, Mont
g9mery and Mobile; and as the Georgia
railroad starts out at the same point, lead

are there, their machine shops, and their
manufacturing establishments of every de

with large population, with an elevated
and remarkably healthy situation.
The fighting at and around Atlanta con-
tinued on Thursday and Friday, resulting
IN great slaughter on both sides General
sherman fanked the enemy, and fought him
At Decatur, some eight miles South OF At

side. and the Twentieth Corps lost twelve
hundred in killed and wounded. The rebel
Cen Stearns was killed, and fearful mum

and retreated amidst the deadly fire of our
Iorces, Our forces occupy Atlanta, and the
rebels arc looking out for the last ditch
Particulars in our next.
P. Slater reports have It that we are
only besieging the city. Well, be this as it
may, Sherman will have the place, and with
it the rebel army.
