Abuse Of Federal soldiers AT
Knoxville by the Cincinnati
Gazette

From the Dayton (C.) Empire.
PRO tenn" the Knoxville correspondent
of the Cincinnati Gazette, in recent letter
from 1.-The front" is any thing but compli-
mentary in his illusions to the ''brave
boys" Of the command to which the Ga
zettc has assigned him for special cor
eespondence Hear him inlputc ''omaot
ism" to the Union defenders-to the men
who are bearing the ''old flag" just as
cody as if they were SO many predatory
Yisigoths:
Both soldiers and citizens have reason
to rejoice that brighter prospects lie before
them. Ever since our advance into East
Tennessee we have been carrying on OPP
erations under very great difficulties The
sufferings of our soldiers for two months
after the siege, were unprecedented III the
history Of our present struggle, and the de-
structiveness and vandalism Of our soldiers
have brought down most intense suffering
upon the citizens. Many families have
been sent South; many loyal families have
gone or are going North and the country
will soon be almost depopulatej.'
The Plymouth weekly Democrat. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1860-1869, 1864-03-31

TIE BALANCE SHEET.-Admitting the
statement Of the Administration press. that
slavery is abolished, to be true in it's wi
dest sense, somebody makes up the Nation
al balance-sheet thus:
FMANCIpATTCT
To 800 600 wlite American citizens killed
TO 100 900 manned wounded and disabled
To a devastated country filed with or
phans and widows.
To loss Of National prestige
To 81 Goa, 00o, 000 Of Indebtedness.
To divided country (suspensc account)
CREDIT
10 +, 900 900 free negroes.
The four millions by which we stand
credited are worth to us immensely less
than nothing. In fact, if the Government
had given four thousand million dollar,
and five hundred thousand lives to force
the States where the negroes are to keer
and provide for them, as contemplated by
The Constitution, it would have made
comparatively excellent bargain Yea

A debating society out West is debating

THE Fruit CRoPs-At a meeting of the
Cincinnati Horticultural Society on yester-
day, it was generally conceded that while
the peaches are generally killed, there will
be partial crop ofapplcs and pears. The
cherries are nearly all killed. In regard
to grapes there was considerable difference
of opinion. In some vineyards the buds
had been found to be destroyed, but in
others not more than half Considerable
hope was entertained in regard to the
latent buds, which, on the whole, might
tend to the production Of at least half =

reached home, my 6Fst inquiry was con-

gave her twenty cows, in order that she
might fattsn upon milk, after her native
fashion; but on Sunna's death, when the
establishment of women was divided,
Meri fell to N'yxmasore's (the Queen's)
lot. The lesser one, who still retained
the name Of Kahala, says she was seised
in the Unyoro BY the Waganda, who
took her to N'yamasore, but what became
of her father and mother she could not
say. 1t was now dinner time, and - the
usual sweet potatoes and goats flesh were
put upon my box table, asked them 70
dine with me, and We became great
friends, for they were assured they would
finally get wood houses and gardens II
Zanzibar but nothing would induce
either of them to touch food that had
been cooked with butter. A dish oi
plantains and goat flesh was then prepared;
but though Kahala wished 70 eat it. Meri
rejected the goats flesh, and would mol
allow Kahala to taste it either and thus

FROM THE UPPER POTOMAC.
The accounts, as published IN the NortherE
| papers. Of the situation Of affairs On the Upper
Potomac, are so contradictory and unreliable,
that it is impossible to ascertain what Is going
on in that quarter. On Saturday all the III
formation seemed to indicate serious lnga
sion Of NJ Maryland, already commenced in the oc
ca uDation Of Hagerstown, by large force. This
morning it is announced that the Contederates
have withdrawn from HagerstoWn, without IN
hicting any damage on the town, and are ie-
treating M the Potomac. An Associated
Press telegram from Philadelphia, last nlgF',
states that telegraphic communication between
| Harrisburg and HAgerstown has again been
re-established and that up to SIX 0 clock yes
teraav evening no considerable fight had laEei
place at the old Antie5am 9attle-hsld as was
rumorod. 10 ascertain exactly where tic
Ccnfederates are posted, is said to be very
| difficult. On Friday last the militia OF Wheel
ing were called OUT in consequence OF th"
threatened aspect Of the situation 10 the u
cinity of Cumberland, Maryland and NeV

nerseded iD command of the Federal forces or

tails Of the Confederate movements IN thar
vicinity. No serious demonstration hac oeeo
made On the city, though Gen. helly's forces
had "a small fight with the Confederates,

much damage was done on either SIDE. The
