The Washington correspondent OF the

the alleged discovery, that " the secret of
the fulsome hattery bestowed upon Gen.

they wish to get him and the army on
their side, in case their new revolutionary
schemes eliminate in eival war.

able on both sides. The Bishops after

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 4, 1864.
1t is possible that 1 may be able tocom-
municate to your readers something Of in
terest from this little town, alias little
CITY, of Knoxville. Though in size al
most equal to the average of county
towns in Ohio, it certainly deserves the
name of city, for this reason, that it is the
metropolis of its little domain as truly as
of the larger and richer country of which
it is the centre, draining it as completely,
and acknowledging allegiance 10 no higher
authority. Here centres East Tennessee,
and East Tennessee Is a unit sal generis,
distinct from ali other sections, in physi-
cal characteristics, in customs, political
opinion, and public feeling,in every thing
but government.
And even this connection may be bro
ken, and its isolation completed. The
Convention which has had in c9nsid-
Grafton the formation of a new State, has
been in session yesterday and to-day, and
has Just adjourned. Two hundred dele
gates from thirty-one counties were pres
ent. One might look for an immense
crowd and much popular interest on such
an occasion. Such, however, was not the
case. The session took place in the Court
House; the bar was filed with the dele
| gates, and a comparatively small circle of
spectators were quartcred without. Only
moderate enthusiasm was manifested
still a great degree of unanimity prevail
ed among the members of the Conven-
ton. a small faction from the vicinity
of Chattanooga attempted 10 stem the
current, but they were quickly overcome.
Accordingly resolutions in favor of a sep
aration were passed, and a committee APP
pointed to confer with the authorities at
Nashville.
There is much uncertainty as to the ul-
innate fate Of the measure. 1t is thought
that the State Legislature will offer no
objection, but with regard TO the action of
the people of East Tennessee, there is
much difference of opinion. The animus
Of the Convention, composed as it was
chiefly of the friends of the movement,
must not be taken as a test. The vote
will probably be a close enc, and its re-
suit cannot now be predicted. In the
event of an affirmative decision, 1t is still
questionable whether Congress will con
sent to give to this section such power in
the Ser ate.
Reconstruction progresses here more
rapidly than elsewhere in the South. The
Civil Rights Bill proves a less bitter pill
than was anticipated by some.
The feeling of aequiescence inthe course
of the Government is very general. There
is naturally a desire for representation in
Congress, yet even this is longed for less
than reimbursement for the heavy losses
of property by the war.
The town is now ~placarded with no.
tees prohibiting persons of color to car
ry arms This shows how little conf
dence is yet placed in the negroes. How
ever the general feeling toward the race
is, at least, peacesble, and those acts Of
cruelty and fragrant injustice, so common
elsewhere, are unknown h~ereabouts.

From the Oberlin Nevs

From q O0erlln AetCs
Capt. o. 5. B. Wall, late of the l04th
q. 5. c. T., reached home last week from
Charleston, S. c., where he has been on
duty in the Freedmen's Bureau.
II. Hammer of Elyria, had $500 in
gold and 50, 200 in notes stolen the other
day or night from a box under u wash
stand.
Rev. ]. P. Bardwell, of Oberlin, gives
an account of the difficulties he encoun-
tsEsiH-OEgaEising celeEed-sehcofs in Mis-
sissippi.
At Grenada, while sitting in the law
office of a leading citizen, he was assailed
by a former slave bolder-backed up and
encouraged by II mob-dragged out of his
chair, beaten with a heavy cane and his
life directly threatened. Not the least
provocation, then or at any other time,
had been given for the assault, and the
only reason offered for it was his agency
in organizing niger schools The ruff
fan who committed the assault appeared
before the Mayor complained of himself
and was fined a trivial amount.
The Elyria Democrat says the work of
laying the track on the line to Oberlin is
progressing rapidly. Gravel trains will
follow the track layers, and the road will
be in order for the highest speed of trains
very soon after the last rail Is laid.
