Andrew johnson and Horace Maynard, of
Tennessee. At this conference it was agreed
that the railroad bridges of the East Tennessee
d Virginia Railroad should be burned. The
Government had placed in the hands OF Andrew
johnson a considerable sum of money, TO be
used in the defense of East Tennessee, and Gen.
Thomas expected to obtain from him sutii-
cient amount TO carry out the plan agreed
upon. But in this he was disappointed, and
being unwilling to abandon his campaign. dis
patched Wm. b. Carter, prominent Union
man Of Carter County, Tenn, TO Washington
with a communication to Gen. Mcclellan re-
garding the burning of the aforesaid bridges.
The proposition received the favorable con-
sideration of Gen. Mcclellan, as we'll as that of
Secretary Seward and the President and Mr.
Carter returned TO Gen. Thomass headquar-
ters at Camp Dick Robinson, and soon received
instructions to carry out the latters plans the
details of which were left to Mr.. Carters judg-
mnnt. Mr.. Carter, accompanied by two army
officers detailed for THAT purpose, entered upon
his duty, and after long and perilous journey,

section through which the objective railroad

The Columbian Orator.

Emilio CASTELAR,, Spain's eloquent and distin-
quished Prime Minister will. in all probability,
be the orator on Ceremonial Day, May / next,
when the Worlds Columbian Exposition opens
its gates to the world. This information was
given yesterday at the Worlds Fair headquar
ters formal invitation to deliver this cere-
monial oration will be sent as as the proper
committee can meet and take action. Strong
hopes are entertained that the distinguished
Spauiard can be induced to come. Senor Cas-
telar is an excellent English scholar SO that
his oration would not be hampered by limita-
ton to his native tongue. Secretary Culp, of
the Committee on Ceremonies. is already plan
ming out the exercises TO take place on May l.
The program, as already outlined, contemplates
only one Grafton and poem. No one has yet
been mentioned as the poet laureate for that
day. As to who will start the machinery in
operation nothing has been decided. There
is a sentimental feeling prevailing that some
direct descendant of Columbus should touch
the button.
