A corresp..ii lent of the Knoxville
Register gives the latest news we have
i from Kentucky. Lieutenant Colonel
! 11. (.’, Gillespie, of Colonel Ashby’s reg
iment, partially confirms our covres
pondent’ri statements in regard to the
j Fed -ral preparations for tiie invasion
: o. L..st 1 eniiessee, but <. st plates Burn
! si 1.-’s whole force at D'jt more than
■ Unity thousand. The infantry are all
being m unted as last - x s stock can be
procured lor the .py; p;ise. This helps
us to understand somewhat the designs
of thcenep/.y. While Grant is attempt
ing to C.ank Johnston from the West,
; it- is probably intended that Burnside’s
I I mounted infantry shall make a dash
| th'.ougb. one or more of our mountain
j I passes—another Carter expedition on
. a larger scale, to destroy out railroad,
. and perhaps attempt the destruction
of our Government property at this ;tiwl
s other points.
A correspondent of the Knoxville
, Rei/is/er says: Burnside Las forty .thous
e and troops at his disposal to consum
mate the mission assigned
occupation of East Tennessee. Heavy
( . trains and wagons and army stores are
continually moving from Louisville and
( Lexington. Burnside is protecting his
moveineuts by crossing the iroops, pro
tccting his extreme right over lhe
Cumberland river. At Siegali’s Ferry
. and Rosua heavy foices have crossed.

Yankee Testimony.
Wiping-or unwillingly, the Yankees
< are giving expressive and significant
te-iimony against their own schemes
’ ami pretentions, and in favor of ihe
South. Tiie following account of lhe
i horrible condition of the slaves in
t Nashville is from the charge to the
Grand Jury by Judge Brien on the act
for the punishment of slaves.
We of the city of Nashville are abso
l lutcly cursed with the presence of a
t negro population which we find it im
possible to c®itrol Nashvi’le is made
the general rendezvous for trll the run
away negroes in tins and-Bume ot the
i adjoining States. They thrust tliein
-3 selves into the houses of our citizens
and defy the owners to roust thefn.—,
t They pilfer, they steal, they scruple at
- nothing, they respect nobody; they re
i gard no law, human or divine. Some
of them are engaged in hospitals, but
■ they are so numerous that this is’ per-
• haps only a fractional part. They
, promenade our streets; they crowd our
I sidewalks; they thread ailevs; they
till our houses, cellars, garrets. They
, are too lazy to work; too ignorant to
i distinguish between liberty and liceuse-
> too shameless to respect common de
cency, and too degraded to observe the
- ordinary rules of morality. The men
i are thieves and burglars, the women
prostitutes und There is
scarcely a stable, ;; liog p.-n, or a hen
- roost that does not bear the impress of
along heel ami hollowless instep.
These negroes are a curse to the urmy,
a cancer to society, a blight upon lion-
> csty, morality and decency, and a leech
i upon tiie Government.

Another Great Victory in Virginia.
Another great battle has been fought
and won by our invincible army of Vir
ginia. The preparations for an ad
vance of the Federal army, under Gen.
Hooker, have been for some time pro
gressing; and it has been for-some
days apparent that those preparations
were complete, and that the two oppos
ing armies of Virginia were on the
eve of a tremendous collision. On Fri
day last it became evident that the
strength of Hooker’s advance was at
■ Kelley’s Ford, 22 miles above Freder
icksburg. The heavy column which
took that course, had also crossed the
. Rapidan. It crossed the Rapidan at
i two fords—that at Germany and an
> other known as Ely’s Ford, nearer the
month of the Rapidan. Ely’s Ford is
, on lhe old stage road from Fredericks
burg to Culpepper C. 11. This force of
» the enemy had reached Wilderness, or
perhaps Chancellorsville, the latter
about ten miles and the former about
sixteen miles from Fredericksburg. It
was supposed that the direction of the
i column was towards Spotsylvania C.
11, a point in rear of our position, and
fourteen miles from Fredericksburg.
On Friday our army was put in mo
tion, from right to left, and was chang
ing front to meet this new front of the
enemy On that day the two armies
were very near together, and no stream
between ihe'm. Gen. Jacks m was lead
ing the movements against if . enemy’s
flunking column, and Gen. McLaw’s
Division was watching the movements
of a column of the which bad
crossed the Rappahannock below Fred
ericksburg Thus matters stoo on
Friday last. The only f
. gence we have at this writing i\ from
the great General, the significance of
whose measured and moderate phrase
the public have learned This dispatch
has reference to the operations ol Sat
urday and Sunday:
Mils rd, May 4th, 1863.
President Z>rzvw —Y< sterday Gen.
Jackson penetrated to the rear of the
euemy, and drove him from ail his po
sitions from the wilderness to within
one mile of Chancellorvtlie He was
engaged at the sain*-time in front by
two of Longstreet’s Divisions.
This morning the battle was renew
ed, and he whs dislodged from all his
positions around Chancellorville and
driven back to-wards the Rappahan
nock, over which he is now retreatinf.
Many prisoners were taken, and the
enemy’s loss in killed and wounded is
large.
We have again to thank Almighty
j God f>r a great victory.
1 n g-ict to stale that General Pax
ion was killed. G neral Jackson was
seriously, and Generals Heth and A. P.
Hill slightly wounded.
(signed,) R. E. LEE,
General Commanding.
The following has releience to the
operations of Monday:
To His Excellency, President Davis:
—At the close of (he battle of Ciiam el
lorsviile, on Sunday, the enemy were
reported advancing from Fredericks
burg, in our reur. Gen. McLaws was
sent back to arrest his progress, and
repulsed him handsomely that after
noon.
Learning that his force <■ iisist d of
two corps, under Gen Sedeumk Ide

We IM vc re-occupied Fredericks
burg; and non n of the enemy now re
main south ot the Rappahannock, or
its vicinity. R. E. LEE,
General Commanding.
This is all that has been received of
the great—we are inclined to believe '
the greaiewt—battle, which has been
fought during the war. What Confed
erate heart docs not bound with joy at
the announcement of this great and op
pm tune victory ? All honor to our no
ble"chieftains who lead but to victory!
All honor to lhe unrecorded dead, whose
devotion to our cause lias been sealed
with their blood! All honor to the
war-worn veterans, whose brave hearts
and strong arms still stand as a bul
wark against the insatiate foe. ) ;
Give to tbe Poor!
Those “ who have and to spare”
should not forget tbe poor and desti
tute around them. All the necessaries
of life range at distressingly high pri
ces, and unless the purse swings of i
those who have plenty are unloosed, ■
bow are the children of want to live ?
“ He that giveth to the poor lendeth to
ihe Lord,” and He will reward him ac- j
cordingly. Let every patriotic man
and woman, every Christian in our
bleeding Confederacy who is able to
give remember this, and see to it that
no needy soldier’s wife and childjen,
no poor widow and helpless orphans,
stiffer at this time for tbe necessaries
of life. Upon this subject the Augusta
Constitutionalist remarks: “There are
many soldiers’ wives and children, as
well as poor widows and helpless or
phans, who cannpt live through the
struggle for our country’s indepen
dence without assistance, and every
person who has the ability should have
the heart to bestow it. Every patriot
should do his best in assisting this
portion of his community. Many of
the most deserving and needy are those
whose circumstances heretofore lender
it peculiarly humiliating for them to
. ask for assistance. Such should claim
. the vigilant notice and confidential aid
of private beneficence—they shrink
. from public charity. We heard of a
man, not long since, who was actually
congratulating himself that he had not
1 contributed to any of the relief funds.
‘1 knew,’ said he, ‘ that we should have
. to be taxed at last, and I concluded to
, pay my share in that way.’ Yrs, read
. er, this man had stilled all the manly
• impulses of his steel clad soul, under
. the subtertuge of payimr his part in
. taxes. He was deaf to the suft'eriims
ot the widows and orphans around
him, whose husbands and fathers have
. fallen fighting for his liberty, as well
i-as their own. We pity the mean spirit
that will allow a mau thus to shut
himself up in the tub of avarice.”
Baptist Convention.
The Georgia Baptist Convention met
in Griffin on Friday last. The open
ing sermon was preached by Dr. W.
T. Brantley, of Atlanta. Dr. P. H.
Mell, of Athens, was elected Modera
tor, and Rev. E. W. Warren, of Macon,
Clerk.
1 he financial,affairs of the denomi
nation were reported in a healthy con
dition. Mercer University has been
kept in .operation, and about ,$20,000
invest', d in educational enterprises
I’lie committee on deceased ministers
reported that nine Baptist ministers
have died in the State during the year.
The committee appointed to consider
the propriety of taking some steps for
the education of tiie indigent orphans
of our soldiers, recommend that effi
cient measures be adopted to carry out
this great work, and that the Legisla
ture, at its next session, be memorial
ized to increase the Poor School Fund
for the purpose.
The Convention adjourned to meet
at Atlanta, on Friday before the fourth
Sunday in April, 1864.
D. Redmond, Esq —This gentleman,
the accomplished editor of the Southern
Cultivator, was at Rome, when the cou
rier arrived to inform them the Yan
kees were at Gadsden He was in his
room at the Hotel, lying in his bed
awake, though at the hour of midnight,
and heard the heavy and rapid clatter
of the hoots of the horse as the courier
came up to the hotel. In a few mo
ments lie learned that something unus
ual was on hand and came down to see.
Finding out the nature of the errand he
hurried out and assisted a Railroad En
gineer to fire up and run the engine
and tender down to Rome as f;-st as
steam could carry her. This is a wor
thy example of energy —of doing some
thing while others were cons dermg
what to do.— Atlanta Confederacy
Editor Redmond at R ime “run the
engine and tender down to Rome!”— ■
What does tbe Confederacy mean ? And
Mr. R. done “something?” Pray tell
us what that “something” was done
for--you leave us to conjecture. Was
it that he (bio R ) might facilitate his
escape? or was it to assist the “engine
and tender” to escape? If the former,
was he (R.) scared?— and if the latter,
what did the “engine and tender escape”
for? Was it to get out of tbe way of
the Yanks, or to convey or telegraph
for men to defend the Rome from which
Air. R. and lhe “engine and tender” so
precipitately toos their departure. We
would like to know. The editor of the
Confederacy must Lave been laboring
under a “ big scare” when he penned
the above paragraph, and did’iit know
whether he was in Rome, or on the “ en
gine and tender” going “to Rome," or
in Atlanta.

Gon. Forrest’s Great Victory Near
Rome.
The following- particulars of the de
feat and capture, 20 miles from Rome,
on Sunday last, by Gen. Forrest, of the
Yankees .(1800 strong), who were
marching upon Borne for the purpose,
as they confess, of destroying all the
Government proporty at that place and
I going thence to the State Road and burn-
I ing the Etowah and other bridges and
j tearing up the track, we copy from the
Rome Courier of ihe oth instant:
Sunday morning last, opened at half
past 2 o’clock, with an alarm. Mr J.
11. Wisdom, a resident of Gadsden, Ala.,
and a former citizen of this city, reach
ed here, after riding with hot haste for
eleven hours, and gave information
ti'at the enemy were at Gadsden when
lie left, and were bound for Rome.
Preparations were began with dis
patch, and by 9 o’clock in the morning
our soldiery and citizens were prepared
to give them a warm reception Two
pieces of artillery were placed in posi
tion, commanding the load and the
bridge Cotton barricades erected at
all the defiles near the city, videttes
sent out to watch the enemy’s approach.
■ Everything was got in readiness for
determined resistance. During the
morning several couriers with dispatch
es from Gen. Forest arrived, urging
our commander here, to hold Ahem at
b y for a lew hours, if possible, and at
all hazards About two o’clock anoth
er dispatch from Gen. Forest, saying
that he was fighting them at Gayles
ville with an inferior force
About 9 o’clock A. M., a small body
of the enemy’e advance (about 200)
reached the environs of the city, and
were actually bold enough to dismount
and feed their horses almost in sight
of the city. They picked up all the
horses and mules in the neighborhood,
ti.ok s- tne citizens prisoners, and re
connoitered the defences of the city
Learning- that we weie prepared with
artillery they b.voua -ked, and seemed
to await the arriv.il ihe main body
For some cause tiny retreated about
3 o’clock, down the Alabama road
They were pursued by a small but res
o ule body of mounted citizens, win
were determined that tbe aft'rr should
not end thus.
In the meantime, Gen Forrest had
overtaken the main body .!■;.« s i ; <>i
(Jaylesville, and n>t 1. £ .ide of li
dar Bluff. After some T::j:-l nrsii
ing Gen F dema mice a- nri-emJer. An

and the term- o' sm render ,<o->, <-d up m.
j 1 i:e tut ire \ allk'-c L-rec Co-i.sistmg of
: 1800 men wer - made pris;m< rs of war,
; ai.d as ties includi d ihe bold adventur
ers, who had looked with insulting eyes
upon the church spires of the city, they
100 were turned into disarmed ini'antuy.
They were met by General. Forrest’s
advance, about the same time that our
citizen cavalry overtook them in_pur
suit. ‘
Gen. Forrest arrived in the city, with
all the .and the small
body of troops alluded to on Sunday
evening about 6 o’clock I’. M. The
rest of both forces reached here yester
day morning.
But mark what, rmn iiiis t > be fold.
Gen. Forrest accomplished this bold feat,
wdh less than 7( 0 men— thongli the rest
ol ii s command were in support ing dis
I tance. Tuns terminated the last Sab
batn Such a jubilee, Rome has never
experienced. Such raptures over Gen.
Fort, st ami his brave mm.
\\ hen it is considered what, a daring
raid lhe enemy aspired to—what an
extensive circuit they contemplated—
what irreparable damage ;.nev had de
11 berateiy planned, (being tiie burning
of the hr dges on the State Road, and
the destruction ot Government proper
ty at Round Mountain, Rome, and Dal
ton,) it is wonderlul how Gen. Forrest
has managed to prevent the consurna
tion of their designs. With more than
a hundred miles lhe start of him, he
nevertheless has pressed them so hard
with hot pursuit, as to prevent mate
terial damage being d >ne. Excepting
the destruction ol the Round Mountain
Iron Works, in Cherokee couipv, Ala.,
they have done but little damage.—’.
Gen. Forrest lias lost not exceeding
twenTy men in this glorious work. He
killed and wogi.ded about three hun
dred ot the enemy Among them Col.
Hathaway of Indiana. Col. Streight of
Indiana, was commanding the Federal
forces.
I rorn every ,<(>clion of the coun
try the intelligence reaches us that the
prospects for la<-ge crop of wheat the
piesent year, are better and brighter
than they were ever known before.—
An unusual breadth of land was putin
in wheat last fall, and thus far it has
entirely escaped injury. The season
has been particularly favorable, and in
some places it is now considered be
yond all danger In this there is oc
casion for profound thankfulness and
giatulation. It will be m-cepted as an
evidence that Providence sm les upon
our bleeding-, suffering country, and if
wo do pur duty He will not permit the
fulfillment of the fiendish hopes our en
emies entertain of starving us into sub
mission.

There are, says the Augusta Consti
tutionalist, cheering indications of an
improved degree of confidence in Con
federate currency. This is apparent
in the decline iu prices in all our prin
cipal markets of the leading articles,
as well as in the decline in gold and
. silver as well as bank bills. The tax
1 bill, which has just passed, is working
. out these good results, and we incline
! to think tue good has just The
bill will withdraw an amount of cur
rency nearly equal to tout paid out,
which will increase confidence in Con
federate securities and induce liberal
investments in bonds. The tithing
feature of the tax will supply the army
with food without resorting to seizing,
and thus remove the occasion for spec
ulation or hoarding. The result will
be, that the industry of the country
1 will move forward in its legitimate
channels, confidence- will be restored,
inflated prices will on
. articles of luxury smuggled through
the blockade, which cannot be tooljigh
' —and as the value of the money tlfttt
will be in circulation will be largely
appreciated, no one will be injured by
the lax, for the amount of money left,
: after paying the tax, will be' really
xVoi th more than the whole sem would
have been had not the tax been levied.-
This is the view we take of it,- and
therefore we hope no one will grumble
at the tax, but accept it as-a positive
benefit as well as a necessity.-
