i POPULAR AND OBLIGING.-A
visit to the store of Mr.. A. Kahn,
No. 207 Texas street, Shreveport,
will convince the most skeptical
that he keeps on hand the finest
and largest stock of crockery, cut
iery, tinware. glass and chinaware,
while his prices are lower than can
be found at any other establishment
in North Louisiana. By his courtesy
10 business, combined with upright
principles, he has, as it were, cap
tnred the hearts of the people so
much that they won't trade any
where else when they want anything
in his line. His stock of stoves and
all manner of crockery, chinaware,
cutlery, tinware, &C., is the most
complete, and his prices cannot be
duplicated this side of New Orleans.

heavy trade carried on by the Confederates
with Mexico through Sabine Pass and river.

small United States naval force, also cap

with cotton bales and armed with five guns

came down the river and attacked the Fed

Light and the Velocity. The Confederates
took possession of both vessels and then Of
the garrison and its guns. The commander
of the Confederate force was Maj. Oscar NJ

No attempt to recover Sabine Pass from
the Confederates was made until September,

preferred Knoxville as the place to make a
stand. Mr. Dana was at this time visiting

sides Judgment, and Knoxville was chosen as
the point at which to prepare for resistance
Preparations were immediately made to
fortify and provisionI Knoxville. The defenses
were chiefly superintendent by Lieut.. S. N.
Benjamin, commanding Burnside's artillery.
There were already many earthworks on the
hills about Knoxville, they having been built
by Buckner, and abandoned by him when he
left East Tennessee on the approach of Burn
side
The principal work was that named Fort
Sanders, in honor of Gen. w. P. Sanders, of
Kentucky. Fort Sanders was a mile and
half out of Knoxville, ON the Kingston road,
to the southwest. All this part of the de-
fensive line was commanded by Gen. Ed

Parke, was ordered to Vicksburg early in
June to aid Grant, and the movement at that
time was obliged to be given up The troops
remaining in Kentucky were organized into
the Twenty-third army corps, under Maj.
Gen. G.. L. Hartsuff.
While the Ninth corps was away at Vicks-
burg occurred Morgan's raid through Ohio
and Indiana. accurately planned for this very
time. Burnside used the troops he had to the
best advantage in the pursuit and capture OF
the raiders Then he turned his attention
once more to the East Tennessee expedition.
1t was during Burnside's occupancy Of
Cincinnati as his headquarters that Clement
L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, was tried for dis
loyalty by military court and sentenced to
imprisonment in Fort Warren, Boston har-
Dor. This was in May, 1863 President Lin
coin, however, committed the sentence, and
Mr.. Vallandigham was sent south beyond
the Federal lines.
Several of the leading newspapers of the
country expressed their sympathy with Val
landigham and the south, at the time of the
trial, in no measured terms Gen. Burnside
dealt with them summarily.
One promised for the future to assume q
loyal tone, and to submit editorials to Burn

accepted the promise Of loyalty. A second

CUMBERLAND GAP.

When Buckner retreated from Knoxville,
he left behind him Gen. Frazier, who, with
1900 men, held Cumberland Gap Buckner
retreated so hastily that Frazier had no in
formation of it. He had no orders what
to do.
As Burnside was passing into East Ten
nessee, he sent Col De Courcey with force
eastward to threaten the gap. As soon as he
was in possession of Knoxville, he further
sent Gen. Shackelford, Sept. 5, to aid De
Courcey against Cumberland Gap.
Shackelford and De Courcey summoned
Frazier to surrender He refused. Within
Frazier's lines was mill which supplied his
troops with -four Shackelford's men man
aged, one night, to creep within the Confed-
crate lines and set fire to this mill and de-
stroy it. Then starvation threatened the
force at the gap.
Sept 2 Burnside in person left Knoxville
to assist in the siege. He arrived Sept. 8,
after forced march of sixty miles. With
the bodies of troops, those of Shackelford, De
Courcey and the men just arrived. united in
front of the gap, Burnside himself repeated
the demand for surrender This time it was
complied with, and the Confederate garrison,
with all its artillery and arms, fell into the
hands of Burnside. Part of the men made
prisoners were of those who had surrendered
to Burnside the year before, at Roanoke
Island.
Dramatic and thrilling scenes occurred as
Burnside advanced into East Tennessee. At
one place on the road between Kingston and
Knoxville, the passing army was greeted by
group of seventy women and girls, waving
each flag of the stars and stripes and shout
ing "Hurrah for the Union" Hundreds Of

most energetic in advocating secession, al
though Tennessee was the last of the south
ern states to leave the Union. After Nash
vile and Memphis were captured by the
Federal forces Governor Harris, without q
government, entered the Confederate army
and served as staff officer.
In 1877 Mr.. Harris was elected United
States senator from Tennessee, and has filled
that office ever since.
But East Tennessee never accepted the
ordinance of secession. At the Greenville
convention it was declared that that ordi-
nance was not binding on loyal citizens. The
state legislature was petitioned to give East
Tennessee separate government.
This was early in the summer of 1861. The
petition Of the loyal citizens was refused, and
Governor Harris took measures to force the
Union mountaineers into the Confederacy.
The result was the reign of terror already
mentioned. Confederate infantry and cav
airy secured the country, destroying prop
erty, seizng men and forcing them into the
Confederate army or imprisoning them at
Andersonville, Richmond and elsewhere
Many wealthy Tennesseeans fed north and
entered the Federal army. The first Ten
nessee Union regiment was made up of these
loyaIists.
The Union men who remained at home in
East Tennessee defended themselves in their
mountain businesses as best they might. In
time there developed on both sides parties of
guerrillas and bushwhackers They fought
against each other with all the intensity of
passions engendered by this species of irreg-
ular warfare. Atrocities without number
were committed.
At length, February IS, 1862, Nashville was
occupied by the Union army. Governor
Harris moved his government to Memphis.
That, too, fell into the hands of the United
States, in June, 1862.
Thence on there was no regular Confeder-
ate government in Tennessee. Andrew John
son was appointed United States military
governor in March, 1862 West Tennessee
was put under martial law by Gen. Grant.
Tennessee was then overrun in turn by
each army, and sometimes both together were
upon her hapless soil. Union flags, during
the Confederate occupancy, had been hidden
in huts in the mountains. Atmidnight gath
erings, by Pickering candle, armed and
bearded men unfolded these flags, and in low,
thrilling tones swore renewed allegiance to
the starry banner.

soldiers toput down the rebellion. Tennessee
was asked for two regiments. Her governor
sent back word to Washington:
Tennessee will not furnish man for pur-
poses of coercion, but so 900, if necessary, for
the defense of our rights, and those of our
southern brothers. IsHAM G. HARRIS,
"Governor of Tennessee"
When the ballot was taken on the question
of convention to consider the secession Of
the state, East Tennessee voted "No" by
majority of over four to one. When, never
theless, Governor Harris and the legislature
precipitated the secession movement, the
people of the mountains remained loyal to
the Union. Early in June Governor Harris
had Is, 600 men in arms for the Confederacy.
They took possession at once of the three
mountains passes in East Tennessee, Cum
berland gap, Wheeler's gap, and the Fortress.
Measures of extreme severity were taken
against the people of East Tennessee to force
them into the Confederacy. Itwas the cruel
story of border warfare over again. Union
men were hunted, shot and driven from their
homes They took refuge in the mountains,
or fled to tine north for their lives. Those in

streets of Cincinnati, st. Louis aud Louis
vile barefoot and with not enough rags to
cover their bodies.
Loyal men were charged with burning
bridges SO that Confederate soldiers could not
pass over them. They were tried by court
martial, and in many instances hanged i'm
mediately.
In November, 1861, the following adver-
tisement was inserted in The Memphis APP
peal.
"BLOODHOUNDS WANTED.
"We, the undersigned, will pay IS Der pair
for fifty pairs of well bred hounds and $50
for one pair of thoroughbred bloodhounds
that will take the track of man. The pur-
pose for which these dogs are wanted is to
chase the internal, cowardly Lincoln BUSH
whackers of East Tennessee and Kentucky
(who have taken the advantage of the bush to
kill and cripple many good soldiers) to their
haunts and capture them"
A postscript to the advertisement offered
also $40 month to man who could take
charge Of the dogs and train them. The
animals were to be delivered at a point
named, where ''mustering officer would be
present to muster and inspect them"
The advertisement was signed by the
names of two we'll known Confederate Off
GERS at camp in East Tennessee.
