YANKEE Forces IN TENNEssEE.-A
letter which the Selma Rebel says is
from a source entitled TO the highest
credit, gives the following particulars
concerning the number and position Of
the Federal forces upon our northern
frontier:
Gilmore is being reinforced by Thomas
with cavalry At Knoxville. East Ten
nessee, preparatory to making a move
into Western Virginia, or to form u
junction with Sherman in North Carolina
Thomas has obout three regiments at
Dalton and Tunnel Hill, but two re-
giments at Chattanooga; eighty men at
Running Water bridge, and forty in the
block houses at the end of the bridge;
and three small regiments of negroes
Dutch and toriesa Bridgeport and two
regiments at Stevenson. There are but
small garrisons from Stevenson to Hunts;
vile. The balance Of Thomas's army
is not thought to DO strong, and is at
Huntsville, Decatur and Eastport.
Rosecrans has FIVE brigadcs in Middle
Tennessee, securing the country for sup
plies and recruits. They say to every
rebel soldier they catch that he must
either join the Federal army or be killed.
Stokes brigade is the most conspicuous
in. this work. This policy will drive
many men to The Southern army.
The writer of the letter evidently
thinks Thomas is weak in point OF
numbers, but the reader will observe
that concentration of these forces
would make formidable army. For
one, we are disposed to query whether,
unless the people of alabama and
Mississippi arouse, wc have forces enough
to repel Thomas, should he attempt
movement from North Alabama.

FROM NORTH ALABAMA.-Our latest
information from Huntsville, says tho
Montgomery AdUcrtiser of the lGth is
that, about two weeks ago, the number
Of Yankees there was estimated at
10000. These estimates arc, however.
generally exaggerated. Wo stated two
days ago, on information derived from
citizen Of jackson county, that the 4th
Yankee army corps had left North
Alabama for East Tennessee. Tho
Yankee guards were posted everywhere
in the town, but most persons were glad
oft as they afforded protection from
the disturbances and .deprcdations Of
disorderly soldiers. No citizen, male or
female, was permitted to buy MS much
as five dollars worth ofanythinG, with.
out taking the lincoln OATH. Hence.
none who are unwilling to take oath,
would invostmore than 81. .95 at time.
Few take the oath, we understand.
The Church oftho Nativity (Episcopal)
had been closed by military authority
because shc Rev. Mr. Baniste, had pray
ed for the President of the Confederate
States, during the last Confederate
occupation Of the town. and the order
had been received for Mr.. Banister to
leave and como South. and FIVE days
were allowed. him to do so. A thr, al

AN ExrLolr OF SOME OF MosnY's

AN EXPLOIT OF SOME OF MosBY'S
MEN.-Northcrn Virginia seems not to
afford full occupation for the gallant and
adventurous rangers of Col. Mosby.
Within the last week some of them have
been stirring up the Yankees on tho
York peninsula. We are informed that
last Friday night Captain Richardson,
with sixteen mcn,gall Of fMosby's com.
mand, dashed into Williamsburg, and
successfully pretending to be the ad.
vance of a. cavalry brigade, cleared a
regiment Of Yankees out of the town.

tam Richardson's men were struck, al.
though six of their horses were killed
under them. They brought off a number
ofhorses, and some other plunder.

Righteous Judges.

We see it stated that Gov Morton has
submitted to the new bench of Supreme
Judges, the question, ARE Sundays inclu-
ded in the constitutional term Of the State
legislature 80
The judges have decided that Sundays
are not included, hence the present term
will be extended about week longer than
usual, it having heretofore been under
stood that the constitutional limit of sixty
days embraced Sundays. IF the Sundays
are not 10 be counted, the members of
course will not think of pocketing three
dollars each for them they are entitled to
pay only for.working days. Weheartily CO.
incide with the judges in this recognition
of the Divine law, which says, ''six days
shalt thou labor, &C.. and are only sur
prised that this view of the matter has
not heretofore been acted upon by the
representatives Of professedly God-fear-
inc people. Rest is as necessary to intel
lect as to muscle. All honor, say we, to
the Judges of the Supreme Court.
Since writing the above we learn that
the Legislature, having more confidence
in the legal ability of their Judicial
Committee than in that Of the Supreme
bench, decided to adhere to the ''ancient
customs of Legislati'e bolies, AMI SC
adjourned at the expiration of sixty days
from the commencement of the session.
