The SNITTEN RocK.-The direction of
the spring was straight across tho valley
from the camping ground. After leav-
ing the tents, in about two minutes l
assembled the ground where we made
the circuit, then passed down a slight
decleVity, after which the ground gradu~
ally rose until reached the spring, in
about ten minutes, by u rugged path,
over large bolders of Sinaite granite.
Here was surprised to find fine spring
Of pure water Issuing from rent in the
rock; the rent was in an oblique direction,
the highest part of it on the left, and
slipping down towards the right. The
lowest part of the fissure was as high as
mans head from the ground. The
surrounding rock is the solid red granite
of Sinai, smooth on it's face and unbro>
ken, by fissure or seam. Tho fissure is
about six feet long, about four inches
wide, five inches deep at the bottom and
twelve at the top, and runs down into the
rock parallel with the perpendicular side
OF the mountain; the water seems to issue
about two feet above the bottom of the
rent, flowing over the lowest part of it in
stream tbout the thickness of mans
finger. The reservoir is about twelve

far as am aware) to observe this singu-
lar rent" in the Rock of Horeb," and

fact, in order that future travellers NAV

Moses had a rod about six feet long, and

SherrSian's Campaign.

Mr.. EDITOR At the solicitation
of number of my friends, | have been
induced to attempt, through the columns
of your paper, a faint description Of Sher-
mans famous raid from Chattanooga, and
Look out mountains towering height,
"down to the sea-" and thence to the final
and conclusive disbandonment of the
Rebel Army near Raleigh, N. G. To
give full detail Of that campaign would
occupy more space that yoa can spare,
and more time than am at present able
to give; yet | will endeayor to give you
a passing view of our march, promising,
at some future time to enter into a full
detail Of the march which brought about
the fall of the Rebellion.
On the 9th of May, 1864, the Grand
Army of the Cumberland commenced to
move from Ringgold, near Chickamauga
river, Ga, and encountered the enemy at
"Rocky Face" or "Buzzard Roost, where
the two armies had a friendly "set to"
and being successful in moving the base
of Johnny's operations we fell upon Dal-
ton without getting much hurt. The
enemy contested every inch of ground,
but Yankee skill was too much for Rebel
grit, and they got out of our way "right
smart, / reckon" The enemy falling
back upon Resacca, again made a stand
but Sherman's men, like "the Asyrians
came down like wolf ON the fold, and
old Joe johnson '.fcH back tor a better
positioa,' which he found at Altoona,
but the position was not such as he desi-
red, aud old Joe Johnston finding sold

chine" moving upon Dallas, the Rebs
moved back to Ackworsh, and still net
finding the position good enough

Bag" We give place, this week. to a
communication in reference to the late
Nominations His suggestion, however,
that the committee resign, is.unnecessary,
their term of service having expired and
their places having been filled by the late
County Convention. OF that committee,
we would say that (oursclf excepted y
they were as intelligent and as faithful as
such organizations generally are The
suggestion, however, that in future the
vote of districts which disregard the spirit
of the call, and poll a vote Overland above
that of the party, should be thrown over
board by the convention, We regard as
proper, there must be some mode of ex-
cludiug all who are not Republicans, in
principle, from participating in its NOM
nations. 1t is all idle for men who have
stood upfor our common cause, to sub
nit themselves to the arbitrament of their
political enemies. Honorable Democrats
don't wish to have anything to do with
our party affairs, Il is only the unpriu-
cipei and reckless part of the party that
will avail themselves of such opportuni-
ties to exert an influence in a matter in
which they have ne right to interfere
We believe in parties, but if parties are
to continue as heretofore, We must pro-
teet their organisms more carefully, and
give drunken, worthless creatures who are
void of honor or shame, to understand
that they cannot be nscd by selfish men,
to control The action of our party.

Reconstruction is " The order of the
day" and our people, naturally enough,
manifest great uneasness to see that
such reconstruction is had, as will cure
forever, evils in the body polite, in the
rebelious part of the country. For our
self we have never doubted, but that
higher and purer motives than those of
prejudice would govern the reconstruction
policy OF the government.
OF all the States in rebellion, Iennes-
see seems to be making the most deter
mined efforts to get right again And at
the same time, it is evident that she is
cursed with as violent a set of rebels,
to-day, as any other State. On the other
hand the unconditional Unionists abound
there in goodly numbers-suificient, we
have no doubt, to take care Of the inter
csts of the State. Gov Brownlow is US
ing his official position with will, cor
responding with his history as man of
decision and energy. An election is COM
ing off soon for members of Congress.
judges Of the Courts, &c, ard the Gov.
gives the people plainly to understand
that, should secessionists and rebels at
tempt, in violation of law to control the
pol IS, aud thereby defeat the will Of the
Loyal people Of the State, that he will
not issue them certificates Of election =
He has also called on Gen. Thomas to
furnish such military assassstance as may
be necessary to enable the officers of elec-
ton to have the law obeyed, in the pro.
gress Of the election.
Tennessee is, therefore, truly now
passing through her greatest trial. From
her experience, both the Government and
other States may learn many lessons of
wisdom. Whatever theory may be found
best in practice, viii be the one most like
ly to fud favor both with the people and
with Congress. All eyes are therefore
naturally turned to the new developments
of men and measures in Tennessee, hop
ing, from her trials and experiments, to
learn something useful in1tbe science of
Reconstruction.
