Hood In Middle Tennessee.

Hood entered Middle Tennessee in the vain hope
of frightening Sherman, and causing him to fall
back from Georgia. Sherman moved right ahead,
10 the ruin of Georgia, and the utter dismay of the
whole Confederacy-not regarding Hood in his rear
any more than he would big bull frog command
ing an army of toadsl Meanwhile, Il man remained
in charge of 10000 men, second to no man in the
United States Army-we alude TO Mai. Gen. Geo
II Thomas.
The result has been that Hood, like a bull in a
china shop, came charging up against the fortia-
cations of Middle Tennessee that have been two years
in course of construction, under the direction of the
ablest Engineers in the United States service. And
the still further result has been that Hood has been
badly whipped his army routed many of them
killed and wounded, others captured and the re-
mainder badly demoralizcd.
The rebels attacked our force. at Pulaski. and
were repulscd by our forces under the command of
that able and fighting man, Schoicld who fell back
upon Columbia with view to draw the enemy on
and there damaged them again. Our force. then
fell back upon Franklin, within eighteen mile. Of

Brutal Murder of Soldiers.

were wounded, We're at their homes on furlough. and
weie captured the other day in Hancock county,
Lieut.. Stapleton was taken out and after his body
was pierced with several bullets hs brains were
beaten out by the rebel soldiers with the butt Of their
guns. Lieut.. Fox was also captured and taken Off
and his fate is not known This is the treatment
wounded soldiers receive when captured by these
wild beasts these devil. incarnate, these murderers

when we capture these most diabolical bushwhack-

Wholesale Murder in Polk County.

A raid of Hrty-sir rebels came into Polk county
last week, and murdered forty-oac Union men, citi
zens, making no distinction between the old and
young. Such barbarity and cod-blooded murders
never were heard Of We have about 1900 twelve
months men in McMinn and Bradley. What are
they about that they have not cleaned out Polk
county? We have advised the indiscriminate
slaugh liter Of these rascals all the time We advise
it yet and we denounce the practice of taking such
men prisoners. Until our men rise to our standard
and make clean sweep of these guerras we are
not to have any peace in the country.

Infamous SWindlerS.

We have, on the line of the East Tennessee and
Georgia Railroad, between this and Chattanooga
some Of the vilest knaves that ever lived Some of
them claimed damages off of the Railroad Company
for going through their farms, and were accordingly
paid. They claimed as damages more than they
gave in the value of their farms at, upon oath, to
the tax collectors Now, that the Federal authori-
tics have come along and destroyed some of their
timber and rails they have laid in accounts for more
than their former damages and valuation Of their
farms If some gentleman conycrsant with these
cases, will furnish with the names of these nfa-
NOUS swindlers will take great pleasure in pub
fishing them to the world. As we have such thieves
and unmitigated scoundrcls in the country it is due
to the rising generation that they should know who
they are.
Indeed this entire railroad should be confscoted
and it must be done and its stock pass into other
hands-that is the rebel portion of it, which is the
largest share by odds. 1t used, from the start
to promote the rebellion and done as much or more
mischief than any road in the South

Indictments and Acqultals.

The most Of rebels against whom true bills have
been found by the Federal Grand Jury for treason
have been discharged rs far ~ their cases have been
heard They have pleaded by way Of confession
and avoidance, the Presidents amnesty outh, and
upon thi. plea have been discharged, Certain bad
cnses have been sent on to the next session of the
Court,
There are many and loud complaints made against
the discharge Of some Of these men, known to be
the very worst men in East Tennessee We think
II al wrong aud their indictment and arrest u
perfect farce but we attach the blame to the nmnes-
ty proclamation, and the laws Of Congress enaclcd
IN pursuance thereof These scoundrels and trail
tors however, have not come of with ms little dam
age ms many of our friends muy suppose They
have been foragcd upon by two armies, and eaten
out and destroyed They have had the costs of
their indictments and arrests to pay and the Judge
requires these to be paid in hand before they are
released, And in addition to all this, they have had
heavy fees to pay over to their lawyers or at least
they have had their payment to secure, Ina word,
they ARE pretty well broken up and have got their
Southern rights upon Il large and fcciiHg scale
them who have taken the oath in good faith, and
behave themselves ms men, and rs their oath enjolns,
should be protected and treated with respect One
in five of them may do this, but in the most Of them
we have no confidence. Those Of them who run
into this city for protection against outraged Union
go up the country and again return home when the
rebel forces come down, and post up the enemy as
to our strength and works, should be spotted rs we
have no doub. they will be. Where the Court has
failed to do them justice, let soldiers do it, by
giving them to know that but one party can lvein this

e Of the Cincinnati Gazette,

WILMINGTON, Clinton Co, o., Nov. -.
Three weeks ago mother Mrs Clara Ryan, with
seven small children from Painter Springs, Grain
ger county, Tennessee, thirty miles east from Knox
vile, arrived ut this place. The long and tedious
journey, the hardships endured, and the constant
care of her little ones too much for her crush
ed heart and frai body. On the sth inst peaceful
death, while trusting in her Savior, ended all her
suierings. just before her departure this afflicted
mother called her dear children to her bedside.
placing her hands, already cold in death on their
heads, she blessed them, and in prayer committed
her little flock to the faithful care of covenant
keeping God. Through the kindness of the citizens
the arrangements for her funeral were very becom-
ing Her remains, in neat coffin, were taken to
the Methodist Church, which was well filled with n
sympathzing congregation. The services were
conducted by Rev. A. Mchany pastor of the church
assisted by the Rev. B. w. Chdaw The scene was
very solemn and impressive The seven motberless
children around the bier moved the hearts of all the
congregation and stirred deep and earnest sympa-
thy in their behalf The remains were buried in
the beautiful cemetry the village, sweetly to
rest until the day of immortal awakening when
they that sleep in Jesus will God bring with him"
This mother was victim TO the madness and wick
cdncss Of rebellion. Her husband, james RYAN.
with four sons, enlisted in the Union army in the
Ninth Tennessee Cavalry. The rebels plundcrcd
her home reduced her to poveety, and compelled
her TO leave the dcsoated homestead to find protoc-
ton and kindness among strangers Two of her
brave sons died in the service and nothing has been
heard of the husband and the other two sons since
May last. The orphans will be well cared for, and
If any relatives or friends Of this afflicted family de-
sire further information IL will be furnished, by
writing to Rev. A. Mehaney Wilmington, Clinton
