The report gives the testimony OF Brcv-
ct General Hatcher, who has heen jill SER
vice in Tennessee. He says leaving ont
the eastern portion OF the State. he should
think it was largely opposed to the general
government. that there is no good feeling
towards the government and very little
feeling except in Tenn. The public sent
iment in the latter is in the mann loyal. lie
considers Yves: Tennessee is disloyai as
Mississippi. East Tennessee is the only
portion OF the State from which the United
States troops can be Withdrawn with safety,
Gen. Thomas tcstiiics that be dies not
think it would be safe to remove the troops
or withdraw martial law ar restore the
writ Of haheas corpus. The full extent OF
East Tennessee is perfectly safe. because
the Union element prcponderates. Mid
die Tennessee is disturbed by personal AM
imosity and hatred much more than by the
disloyalty of persons against the United
States The L aiol men ii West Tennes-
see are in minority. bat the Union scntl-
men, is gradually approaching good 10y
al sentiment.
