We have received the Richmond Wing OF
the-l6th, from which we extract the follow
ing:
GLORIOUS NEWS FROM EAST TENNESSEE.
Breckenridge is not only intellectually great
but he is as brave MS the bravest, and seems
to have learned the art of war by intuition.
Like Forrest, he is ever able to accomplish
what others deem impossible. In East
Tennessee he has at a single blow swept
away the prestige of what the Yankees
claim as a great victory. The following dis
patch received at the War Department last
night speaks for ITSELF and hardly needed
the brief preface we give it:
HEADQUARTERS ARMY NORTHERN VIR-
GINA, Nov. 15.-Hon. james A. Seldom,
Secretary OF War.-General Breckinridge
reports that on the night of the 18th, he
turned Bulls Gap when the enemy attempt
ed to retreat. About one o'clock on the
14th, with Vaughn's and Dukes commands
he struck their column and routed 1t. Sew
eral hundred prisoners, ten stand of colors,
six pieces of artillery, with caissons and
horses complete, fifty loaded wagons with
teams, ambulances with medical supplies,
&C., were captured. X. Il. LEE.
FROM THE ARMY OF TENNESSEE.
Gen. Hood is in motion, and his destina-
ton is thought to be East Tennessee. On
the other hand, we have reason to believe,
from the best information which has reach
ed us, that Sherman designs to evacuate
Atlanta entirely. The larger portion of his
force, it is reported, is already moving to-
wards Selma, Ala, and if this be true, Mo-
bile must be his destination. Apropos to
this conjecture, we learn that an immense
fleet OF transports, laden with stores, has
arrived in Mobile Bay, which looks as II
movement was contemplated at an early
day in that quarter. We have, upon the
above hypothesis, the most singular feature
of the war, that is, of two large armies pass
ing each other by a. sort of flank movement,
and moving in an opposite direction. Sher-
man may be shrewd banker, stubborn
fighter, and a prospective candidate for
Presidential honors; but we venture the
prediction that he has been woefully out
generated this time. We shall soon see.
The situation is certainly increasing in in
terest in North Georgia.
1000 YANKEES CAPTURED IN LOUISIANA
GEN. PRICE RETURNED TO ARKANSAS.
MOBILE, Nov. 15.-A special telegram to
the Mobile Aduertiser from Senatobia, the
14th, says that Memphis papers of the 18th
and 18th, and st. Louis papers of the 10th
and 18th, have been received.
The latter speak of tremendous con-
spiracy to destroy Chicago and liberate the
prisoners at Camp Douglas. Large guam
titles of secreted arms are stated to have
been discovered, and several hundred citi-
zens have been arrested.
The Yankee loss in Government stores at
Johnsonville Is estimated at S6,000,000.
No heavy iron-clads are now north of
Memphis, the low water preventing their.
going up.
Rosecrans has been superseded by
Meade.
Buckner is said to have captured Nor
ganza on the 18th, with nineteen hundred
Yankee prisoners. He carried off all the
field artillery, destroying the siege guns
and war material.
Gen. Price is reported to be at Fayette-
vile, Arkansas.
Mcclellan, it is claimed, has carried IL
linois.
JEFF. DAVIS PROCLAIM ALTON - COMMENTS
BY THE SOUTHERN PREss-MoRAL REvo-
LUTON NEEDED.
We invite the attention of our readers
to the following well-timed article from
the Fayetteville Cdrolinidn
There is too little patriotism, too little of
that self-sacrifcing spirit which belongs to,
and should be found among a people who
are fighting for the glorious privilege of
self-government in these selfish times in
which we live. There is too much fond
ness evinced in the daily life of our people
for show and extravaganza, and too much
greed OF gain. How can we expect to OBJ
tam our freedom, how can we look for
ward to the return of the great blessings
which we inherited from our forefathers,
unless some mighty change is wrought,
some great moral revolution is effected,
some unlocked for, some unhoped for, un-
mercy is bestowed by the Al
mighty power that governs the action of
nations as well as men?
Let the prayers of our people ascend let
the note of thanksgiving arise; let the pc
tition for favor and assistance be uttered.
Let faith and hope look to that source of
all temporal and eternal good with conf
dence, and ask that the country may be re-
stored to that morality and honesty that
once were ours, and which, when over
thrown by the corrupti0ns of bad and am |
bilious men, who undermined the founda- |
lions of society and shook the pillars OF our |
till the edifice tottered and |
staggered, brought on us the wrath with |
which God has made us feel that He curses |
our proneness to evil and our deliberate |
lisobedience of his laws. Some mighty |
radical reform must be wrought-is actual
ly necessary to our salvation as a people.
Let the malefactor strive to strangle the |
lemon of dishonesty, which is ever prompt
Ing him to deeds of rascality. Let the
speculator worship Him that is the true
God, and destroy the golden calf which he
has made his idol. Let there bea healthier,
holier, better feeling and action in our re-
Iations to one another, and then we may |
feel assured that the Great Judge will |
award lis the victory, and will cOnfOund |
,he counsels of our enemies, and defeat
hem in their plans OF wickedness and in
against us and against civiliza-
