Position Of Anairs Ia Teaneaueo

That the Yankee Administration is seriously
alarmed by the sspect Of stairs in East Ten
nessee is shown by the statement, which has
been allowed to be ma.e public through Bos-
ton paper, that the 9th corps, from The army Of
the Potomac, under Gen. Sedgwick has been
sent pest haste to Knoxville. The New York
World says;
The recsnt withdrawal of the rebels from Dal-
ton. f. indeed, that story is true. will account
for tho reinforcemenis which have been spoken
of as having reached LongstIeet's army. The
commander at Chattanooga seems to have been
thoroughly deceived by the movements of the
rebels in his front, aud if was by mere Recidei {
that the retreat OF Johnston's army was dis
covered II, as we fear, the rebels have been
quietly concentrating the bulk OF tbeif icreeB
under IIongstreet, il is not impossible the next
news VIC may hear will be the capture Of Kaox-
vile, and perhsps the taking of Cumberlahd

/ fsats, aud be able TO send q large force of cav
airy into Kentucky, it would put Gen Grant to
4 bis mettle to preserve his communications be

Naval Recognizes.

The Richmond SsntiEsl has copy of The
Bshsms Herald, published at Nsussau, Ney
Ppvideucs, as lsso as the 2Si Of January. There
is not Iduch news contained in the number be-
fore US, but its tone is very friendly 70 the Con
fedsrste States, and decidedly hostile to ihc
Yankee Government. We copy the following
article from the Herald, on the subject Of recog-
milton;
Notwithstanding the fact that The great Euro
pean powers stil withhold the political reeogri-
ton Of the Southern States Of Amsrica, in every
other respect they sTe fast receiving the Justice
due them. Socially they have been long Teeog-
nized by the civil and revenue regulations Of all
countries their commercial status is universally
acknowledged upon the same basis as an inds-
pendent Power, (by being recognized as bsllige-
Tents,) and We see BY the last number Of Mar
ryGtFs naval signals for 1864, Just received in
Nassau, that their different standards are en-
gTaved and displayed in that work along with
those Of other Independent Powers, ss entitled
to respect and recognition. This latter fact
also embraces the privilege of insurance and the
maritime rights consequent thsreunt0.
Never was the true old maxim, that Rsvc-
luiions never 20 Backwards" better illustrated
than Ia the case of the Southern Conledsracy.
Iheir credits ana commercial TelsDoDs, long
sgo established sbrosd, is developing its effect.
After all, commerce Is the great king, and as
we see its various departments wheeling into
line, ons after another, admitting the indisPuts-
BILE existenee Of nation, it will not be long be-
/ fore the bands Of red tape will rot out and the
political schemeTB give way 10 the triumphant
march Of truth and Justice. The C0nfederscy
has had two battles 70 fight, ons with her ore
mics, another with her friends. We hope be-
FIRE many months pass, the latter will be won,
and that accomplished, the history Ct the past
three years guarantees the triumphant and sue
cessful rssnll of tho former.

= Surgeon Keller, of Morean's command,
who has lsssly been exchanged, and who came
through Cincinnati and louisville, reports that
Gen. Grant had teld the people that he vTould
move grand army Of 10000 to 20O,O on
Atlanta as soon as the crust Of the ground would
bear bis wagon trains. This is but = grand
boast IS TO the number Of his grand Ermy-bus
there is no doubt he will make the movement as
soon as he can get bis men back from their fur
oughs, il they viii come.
Surgeon Keller states that the YAnks are
making tremendous efforts to get ready, and
that the railroad tracks from Cincinnati 70 Chat
tsn0ogs had AL been made the same grade, SO
that supplies and ammunition can be run
strsight through. He says that Immense trains
were loaded with provisions and munitions Of
war and cannon going South.
Kentucky was being enrolled preparatory for
eOnscription, and the highest excitement pro
vailed. The strongest Union men were de-
nouneing the Administration, and the State was
considered ripe for revolution.

MORE CAEARDs.-A late New York Times
contains a translation OF letter from French
man, said to have been formerly in the Southern
army, dated Richmond, January 1lth, which
reports the arrival at the latter city Of an sgens
Of the French Emperor, named Msr.igny, via
Nassau, aud mysterious conference with Pres
i5ent Davis. C. Il is known" says tho writer,
that Jsff. has promised TO recognize the En-
pire il Mexico, and promised France all the sd.
vantsges Of the Southern Confederscy if NapC'
leon would recognize and support the Sjuihorn
States" Another feature in the same letter is
an expression regarding Gen. Lee and the Pres

doubt that The plan Of making Gen. Lee dictator
viii bs adopted IS Use only means to counteract
lhe strength Of The North. Lee has expressed
