Sad but Truthful Picture.

This wicked war was forced upon the country by
the bad and designing leaders Of the South, and is
encouraged by worse class of traitors dispersed
through the country who deserve death at the hands
Of Union men wherever found. And Why Be-
cause for every man who falls in battle some one
mourn- For the humbest soldier shot on picket
some one mourns, For every soldier disabled, for
ever one who Loses an arm, leg, or an eye, or who
receive, flesh wound or languishes with protracted
fever in an army hospital some heart bleeds, some
tears are shed. In far off humble households, per-
haps, .eepcs, night. and anxious days are passed,
Of which the world never knows and every wound
cd and crippled soldier who returns to his family
and friends, brings pang with him that only dies
away when the patient and his friends 60 down to
the grave Oh how the mothers, wiz as and sisters
feel this cruel war When God is really in heaven, and
truly Himself it is when he looks in compassion
upon the hearts of mothers wives and sisters bleed
ing at every pore, on account of the dead, the
wounded, and the suffering God blcs them And
God scOurge their enemies, who thus aflict them,
and who brought On these troubles

A Reliable PAPER.

The Atlanta Confectionery thus spoke Of Hood, and
Of the certainty of his holding Atlanta the 10Th OF
August, some five day, before Hood fed in terror
and confusion
Gen. Hood increases daily in favor with the army and
confidence is growing strong that he will yet redeem
North Georgia and hold IT, Hs energy is untrina and
everybody under his vatchful eye is kept busy
Atlanta will be- held. This army IL strongly fortified
aud the enemy numbers not sufficient 10 embols
them to attack with any chance Of success while fank
movements played out"
Such is the system of lying in the South that the
rebels do not know what is TRANSPORTING in the coun.
try. Many Of the people of Georgia don't know
that the Federal headquarters arc in Atlanta

State of Affairs In North Carolina

The condition of affairs in North Carolina il ter
riblc! The conscripting guard and citizens shoot
each other daily Their own papers say that if
something be not done the rebel home guards will
be bushwhacked out Of existence Governor Vance,
aware of the danger, has issued proclamation Of
ers lurking in the woods thus attempting to Jy them
Of.
Such picture, gloomy dark, sickening, and
bood-marked, is but true picture of affairs in the
old North State, the contemplation of which man
ties with the rush of shame the cheek of manhood
exhibited upon every spot Of the border States,
once bright and beautiful, but now pressed by the
yandal feet of the rebel forces.
East Tennussccans contemplate the picture thus
but too dimly sRotchcd and say while youso invoke
the God Of truth and justice to witness the sincerity
Of your VOWS, while you swear upon all the Bibles
in existence that you will reproduce this picture at
home or have quiet possession of your fair fields
and long.cherishcd homes And to be prepared for
this crisis let us catch from afar and near at hand
the earliest and iantcst brcahngs of the Storm got
up by our murderous foes. To be successful when
the storm comes, we must be watchful, patient,
brave, confident armed 70 the teeth and always
ready. This let all swear TO do, and carry out TO
tho ie'"r without regard to the name rank station
blood, property or designation Of tho i.'ading fIr
or lurking a5-,.sslns, whether ne shall arise from
within or come from without

The Flag or Truce.

II now turns out that Morgan was TO seize upon
the occasion Of the late flag Of truce going up the
country to rush upon Gen. Gillian, Surround and
capture his command. The rebels here were posted
rs to the plot and expected it, results to be great
Gillian moved in advance Of the flag, and Morgan
went up tho spout in a cabbagc-patch
However well meant may be- these flag, Of truce,
they work badly in this upper country, among set
Of enemies utterly void Of honor or shame. We
hope they will at once be closed out, and that all
who arc in sympathy with these traitors and their
treason be sent out, and be made to tiny on until
they learn TO behave themselves.

First Tennessee Cavalry.

Our information Is that the First Tennessee Cav
airy was in the chase after Wheeler from the start
and engaged heavy force within twelve miles of
Nashville, on the LIST of September, Speaking Of
that conflict, the Nashville piper Of the I'd Of Sep
tembcr says
| The heaviest part Of the diminishing occurred in
! the morning about two miles beyond the Asylum
aud from that point 10 Rossvillo which Is about
eleven miles from this city In the charge upon the
rebels four Of the Isl East Tennessee Cavalry were
! killed, and several wounded five rebels were left
dead upon the field and one prisoner captured,
Lieut., Daniel s. Fox Of the lst East Tennessee
Cavalry, was wounded In the arm, and brought TO
this city; his wound is not serious, Several Others
we're wounded whose names we did not learn
The next day, the regiment, und0r command Of
Co. Jim, Brownow engaged them again south of
franklin, where the Colonel was seriously wounded
| by muskct bah passing through the upper part of
both thighs, causing only severe flesh wound
lls men, cXasperated pursued the enemy, who they
had been steadily driving, so far into their ranks
that twelve Of the regiment were captured but their
names arc not given The rebel loss was heavy, us
other Federal forces were engaged, and the papers
state that Generals Kelly and Haskell two rebel
Generals were killed. Gen. Rousseau commanded
| the Federal troops.
The following from the Major in command Of the
First Tennessee Cavalry is more satisfactory than
anything we have seen since the woundng Of the
Colonel
