A few days ago we received a telegram
from Richmond, which appeared in our col»
titans, which stated that Hod. J. D. C. Ad
kins, tneoiber of the House of Representa
tives from Tennessee, had declared in Cons
gre*s “ibat nearly every member of the Ten
nessee Legislature had signed a petition for
the removal of Gen. Johnston from the De
partment in which that State is included, and
that ibe document had been presented to
Preii lent Davis.”
The M'-oipt is papers of the 14th instant
contain a card signed by 45 members of the
Tennessee Legislature, in which they say they
never heard of, saw or signed any such peti
tion as is referred to by the telegram from
Richmond, and published in the papers of
the coumry.
The Avalanche takes the responsibility of
sn3ing that Gen. Adkins never made any
such statement as was attributed to him by
the dispatch.
Conf.derate Prisoners from Fort Donel-
soil at Camp Chase, Ohio.
T ie Ciucinnati •* Enquirer," of the 2d inst„
has an interesting letter written the day be
fore, concerning the Confederate prisoners
who were surrendered at Fort Donelson and
who are now at Columbus.
This writer says:
Tne< fficersare particularly desirous of again
tas'r g t' <• sword in hand, and many stated to
the c >1 mcl commanding that while they re
gretted their present situation they hoped soon
t > be t x ’hanged, that they might again raise
their arms in rebellion to the abolition gov-
ernmeutof the United S'ates. I send you these
sta'einen's to disabuse the public mind, which

at au nod, and ttiat steamers couiu gu

s'rtl • ft) :ers of Buckner stated to day that the
wor h ><1 on y just begun ; that the South was
only no* beginning to be desperate, and that
very soon it would be seen whether they were
whipped i r not.
A peremptory order has been issued here
to-day that no visitors, no matter who they
are, civil or military, shall visit the prisoners.
M toy visitors were disappointed to day, but
the moat affcctidg incident was the parting of
a rebel officer ( Mej H B. Granberry) from his
vi.ung wue from Texas, who has followed him
through all the campaign, and was anxious
and earnest in sharing his imprisonment. Her
entreaii'-s were of no avail, and she is now in
Columbus among strangers, waiting patiently
th« f,to of her ucfjrtunate husband.

The officers denounce these generals, who
wuh tneir troops were panic stricken, as pol
troons and traitors. The major, in a letter to
Mr. Benjamin, Southern Secretary of War,
uses the tollowiog language, after giviug in
9iii>stance the above: “How long will the
S lUi.hern Onnft deracy sustain Gen. Floyd in

He and Pillow are dastardly scoundrels, and
sriouhi ba t-ummarily disposed of. We are all
well, considering our quarters, but are exceed

among the prisoners now in Camp Chase.

Memphis, March 10, 1862.
We have had no boat from up the river to
day. You have already been advised that
the enemy had occupied Point Pleasant, some
ten miles below New Madrid on the Missou
ri side of the river. They have fired upon
all the boats that have passed for the last
two or three days ; and it may be they have
prevented the passage of the boat due this
afternoon. A rumor prevailed yesterday
that Com. Hollins had shelled the Federals
out of the place, but the staement would
seem to lack confirmation.
It is of the highest consequence that the
Confederates should be able to maintain their
present position on the Mississippi river.—
Island No. 10 is situated just where the
boundary line between Tennessee and Ken
tucky strikes the river, and is a very strong
position. There need be no doubt of our
ability to hold the Island against the gun
boats of the enemy. Hickman, a few miles
above on the Kentucky side, is also in our
possession, and we hold the eastern bank of
the river from that point down to New Or
leans and below. It is from the western
bank that danger is to be apprehended. Our
forces at New Madrid, on the Missouri side,
are already besieged, and now an attempt is
being made to plant a battery at Point Pleas
ant on the same side a few miles lower down.
The permanent occupation of either of those
places by the enemy would cut off communi
cation with Island No. 10 by water, if indeed
it did not lead eventually to its abandon
ment. To prevent such a disaster, it will bo
found necessary to keep Com. Hollin’s gun*
boats constantly in motion, and possibly to
land a heavy force on the western side of the
river, and sweep the enemy back into tbe
country.
Thus you will see how difficult it is in hold
the river aud both of its banks. Blocking
up the channel and occupying one side do
not prevent the enemy from seizing points
on the side and stopping our boats by means
of his batteries. Nothing but a large land
force, in addition to efficient water batteries
and a full complement of transportation aud
gunboats, can enable us to hold the river
and prevent the descent of the enemy to
Memphis and New Orleans. To do this ef
fectually will require great skill and energy,
and an adequate and well equipped force.—
That Gens. Beauregard, Polk and Bragg are
equal to tbe emergency, there need be no
doubt. The only ground for apprehension
Federals have been preparing for months for
the descent of the river, and they are now
ready and amply provided with men, boats,
arms, and all kinds of supplies. Unfortu
nately, the same cannot be said of the Con
federates.
Eastport, on the Tennessee river, being
the point where the boundary line between
Alabama and Mississippi cuts the river, is
also a place of great interest just now. The
enemy hopes to penetrate our lines from that
point, or Florence, and seize the Memphis &
Charleston Railroad, and thus to cut off our
communications. It is reported that they
have sent a gunboat and fifteen transports to
Eastport, and that others are to follow. The
occupation in force of the line of railway
near that point, would be a flank movement
similar to that at Fort Donelson, the prime
object of which, after the interruption of our
communications, would be to force Beaure
gard further down the Mississippi, and to
seize Corinth and Grand Junction—points of
railway intersections of great importance—
and the city of Memphis.
Thus you will perceive the absolute neces
sity of maintaining our position at New Mad
rid and Island No. 10, and of preserving the
integrity of our lines along the Memphis &
Charleston railway. To do this it becomes
necessary for us to keep a strong force at
both points. Federal success at either point
may lead to the forcing of the Mississippi
and the occupation of Memphis, and after
awhile of New Orleans—the Mecca towards
which the eyes of the Federal army of the
West are now wistfully turned. With the
control of the Mississippi, we should also
lose the control of tbe White, Arkansas and
Red rivers. The loss of these water high
ways would be a disaster far greater than the
fall of Fort Donelson and all the other re
verses we have experienced. The possession
of the Arkansas river alone, with the Mis«
sissippi down to the point of confluence,
would render it all but impossible for Gen.
Price to maintain himself in Missouri.
I have been thus particular in order that
your readers may appreciate the position of
affairs in the West, and understand how im
portant it is that we should continue to hold
the Mississippi river. Comprehending the
exigencies of the situation, the people will
the more readily make those efforts, without
which success were impossible. The South
west is now one vast camp, and the tread of
armed legions may be heard throughout the
length and breadth of the great Valley of the
Mississippi. Every town and hamlet is re
sponding to the call of the victorious Beau
regard, and if arms and ammunition were to
be had in the same abundance as volunteers,
the advance of the invader would be stayed.
H e hope to be able to arrest his footsteps aDy
way, and to teach him that his further prog
ress can only be accomplished at a cost of
rivers of blood. Never were a people more
aroused and resolute than those who live in
this magnificent valley. They are not only
turning out nearly their whole fighting pop
ulation, but their private arms also ; and yon
will see by the accompany address that Bean-
regard has called upon them to send him im-
Rye Coffee.
To the Editors oj the Chronicle $ Sentinel:
An extract in your daily of Tuesday, sign
ed L. J. Roberts. M. D., taken from the La-
Grange Reporter, contains two such grave
errors, that we cannot refrain from correct
ing them, particularly as many persons who
use rye as a substitute for coffee, might be
frightened out of an innocent beverage.
The extract says: “The grain when burnt,
contains fifty per cent of phosphoric acid.”
Now, unscientific people wouLyauppose this
to mean when parched. r fsQpse the Doc
tor intended the ash oi <ne gr%. What is
the true analysis of rye, according^ [o the
best authorities? 1,000 pounds produces on
ly 10£ ponnd3 of asb; and of this 10$ pounds
only 0.46 of a pound is phosphoric acid; not
quite half a pound to 1,000 pounds of the
0 ._. - ■> -- *-i*- 5 »“"*» f in
stead of upwards of 50 per cent: being not
quite the one fifth of one per cent of the
solid grain. Besides, the Doctor forgets that
not one particle of the earthy salts is proba
bly held in solution by a common w ak de
coction of the rye; and if the whole grain
was swallowed there would only be the me
dium amount of phosphoric acid contained in
wheat and other cereals, just about enough
to make bone instead of destroying ii.
The effects of rye, or the phosphoric acid
in it, on utero-gestation, is equally fallacious,
and quite as grave an error. It is tbe ergot
of rye that produces abortion, not the com
mon, healthy grain used for coffee. It. is a
long, black, stinking grain, easily distin
guished from the other, and only occurring
under certain unfavorable circumstances.—
The common rye is quite as innocent as
wheat or coffee in this respect.
Will the papers (we have seen it in sever
al,) which published the extract, give this
au insertion ?
mediately their plantation bells, to be made
up into cannon. Are there no bells in Geor
gia that tbe people can spare ? “ The cattle
upon a thousand hills” are of less value to
day than the bells they carry upon tbeir
necks.
Saltpetre is another article to which imme
diate attention should be given It is report
ed that there are four caves in Alabama that
might be worked to profit with a little assis-.
tance from the Government. The Nicajack
Cave is worked by the proprietor of it, who,
I learn from a gentleman recently there, does
not bring the requisite energy and experi
ence to the business. Will not some compe
tent person interest himself in it, and, if
necessary, secure the assistance of the Gov
ernment ?
Memphis, just now, is overrun by gam
biers, garroters and murderers—the foul
birds of prey who follow in the wake of an
army. Au old man, a cigar dealer, doing bc-
siness in one of the most public streets ef
the city, was strangled last night, during a
thunder storm, and robbed of about $15,000
in specie, the hard earnings of a life of labor
and economy. His dead body was not dis
covered until this morning. Not a day or
night passes that some one is not dirked,
knocked down, or robbed: In a single street
it is reported there are no less than fourteen
gambling hells 1 The vile wretches of whom
I speak are supposed to be contributions from
New Orleans, Nashville, Mobile and other
points, where recent events and tbe rigid
rules adopted for the protection of the coun
try against such characters were found too
warm for their comfort. Your friends in At
lanta would do well to guard against this
evil in time. It is the custom of these gen
try to decoy soldiers into drinking saloons,
where the liquor is drugged, and when the
victim is prepared, they proceed to win all
the money he has. Let such rascals be hung
to the nearest lamp post; they don’t deserve
a trial. A speedy execution is all they are
entitled to.

Cumberland Gap, Tenn , March. 11, 62
Dear Confederacy:
Since I wrote you some days ago, events
have transpired, and are still transpiring of
importance, which 1 think the public should
know; and l hope that although we are a
long ways from home, and necessarily are
compelled to do without the comforts of the
majority of soldiers, we are not torgotton.
I wish to keep hefore the public constantly,
that there is such a thing as Georgia forces
away up here, and that we have brave hearts
to offer up a sacrifice upon the altar of our
country.
Yesterday a Kentuckian who came over to
join a Company here, reported the enemy
encamped within 5 miles with 6 regiments,
5,000 strong, and others reported beyond the
Cumberland 7,000, making 12,000. To-day
our cavalry went out on a reeonnoitering ex
pedition, and were fired on by the enemy’s
advanced guard, doing no damage, but threat
ening demonstrations of cutting them off.-
A battalion was dispatched immediately to
their relief, and all have safely returned. As
I was sitting in the office to-day about 12
o’clock, I heard the long continued whir r-r-r
of the snare drum, and as I rightly supposed,
never having heard the sound before, it was
the long roll, the signal of alarm. With yells
of defiance, shout after shout of joy, every
man was in arms in five minutes. The 5th
Georgia and our battalion s*nt up such tre
mendous hallelujahs as awakened the echoes
of these mountain fastnesses, and werejanxi-
ous to be led on. This time it was no false
alarm, for the enemy were plainly in view.
Their movements from the top of the moun
tain could be plainly seen, and we surmised
that there were two regiments and a small
force of cavalry. Glasses were in demand,
and with the aid of one, some three miles
distant, 1 could count their numbers. It is
now generally conceded, that it is the ad
vanced guard of a large force. They are
now within a half mile of our pickets, and
you should seethe rascals, how stealthily
they creep up from tree to tree, and I can
imagine their tread to be like unto a cat as
it sits quietly watching the hole iu the cor
ner, gradually drawing near to its prize. I
watched them long and anxiously as they de
ployed as skirmishers, and extended their
lines from (he top of one hill to another,
peering here aud there, to find if true South-
a j a,vu.;
I looked at these fellows, not because I have
never seen Yankees before, but they were
the first Yankee enemies I ever saw, and of
course our breastworks were lined with offi
cers and men, gazing in ecstacy upon the
mass of mortality. Their bayonets would
glisten in the strong suulight, and their
gleaming beams would reflect towards the
sky. We oould see them peering at us thro’
large magnifiers, aud now and then collect
ing in groups, gesticulaiing violently, waving
their repeaters, and no doubt swearing ven
geance upon those who had impeded their
progress into the land of Andy Johnson and
others of his class. I have no doubt but that
they are Western troops, and appear well
uniformed and equipped. We shall all sleep
on our arms to-night, and God grant it .may

More than once a people fighting with an
enemy less ruthless than yours, for imperill
ed rights not more dear and sacred than
yours, for homes and a land not more worthy
of resolute and unconquerable men than
yours, and for interests of far less magitede
than you have now at stake, have not hesi
tated to melt and mould into cannon the pre*
cious bells surmounting their houses of God,
whioh had called generations to prayer.—
The priesthood have ever sanctioned and
consecrated the conversion, in the hour of
their nation’s need, as one holy and accepta
ble in the Bight of God.
We want cannon as greatly as any people,
who ever, as history tells you, melted tbeir
Church bells to supply them; and I, your
General, entrusted with the command of the
Army embodied of your sons, your kinsmen,
and your neighbors, do now call on you to
send your plantation bells to the nearest
railroad depot, subject to my order, to be
melted into cannon for the defence of your
plantations.
Who will not cheerfully and promptly send
me his bells under such circumstances?
Be of good cheer; but lime is precious.

Jg?~We suppose that ere long the harbor
of every seacoast city in the Confederacy
will be defended by an invulnerable ram, as
are those of New Orleans, Mobile and Nor*
folk. The best of it is that the enemy can
not assail us with the same weapons in many
of our Southern harbors, for the reason that
a seaworthy mail-clad vessel of sufficient
power to be dangerous to our harbor rams
cannot be constructed of so shallow draft as
to operate in them. In deeper waters the
strongest frame and the stoutest beak must
settle tbe qnestion between the contestants.
Meanwhile the enemy have no rams. If tbe
Virginia is seaworthy, now is the time for
her to run down our coasts and sweep the
blockading enemy from them with the besom
of destruction. Off every harbor she eould
make man-of-war prizes and send them in,
and the prize money of every man on board
of her would be a fortune. The South would
gain a navy, the expeditionary coast opera
tions of the enemy would be at an end, and
the blockade would be raised. We suppose
that any night, or even day, the Virginia
could move out past Fortress Monroe, with
lordly disregard for its big guns. 8he eould
be coaled at Mobile, or other Southern ports,
by lighters, after tbe blockaders were driven
off-—Mobi e Advertiser £ Register.

For tale at this office—pice $1 per hundred
not be our last slumber. Shall the event, we
are expecting, terminate so that I can give
you and your readers the news of a glorious
victory, or the sad news of another disaster?
We feel confident of success, aod we say to
all, therefore, “be of good cheer.” To night
their camp fires are plainly visible, and we
can even see them as they pass between the
light and us, so much passing that we all
have come to the conclusion, that they are
holding an Indian corn dance. We shall
await patiently the dawn of the morrow, and
it cannot be considered surely out of place,
if I tell you, that ice do expect an attack. I
mention this, not as a mere speculative idea,
but all the movements of our enemy indicate
it, and you know, ‘‘seeing, is knowing.” I
shall always tell you facts, and nothing shall
ever induce me to lead our friends into false
notions. I see no chance for a flank move
ment; there is but one way to come, and that
is our way, and if they do, “somebody will
be hurt” in spite of Lincoln’s congratulations.
I shall post you of all the important events
that shall transpire that I am at liberty to
tell. I would not have thus written you so
soon after my last letter, but these few inci-
denrs I thought our friends entitled to know.
Your paper is ahead of every other still.
We all look anxiously for the ‘‘Confederacy,”
and its welcome face is found on my table ev
ery night. Your telegraphio column is search
ed eagerly, and events transpire of'-great
importance that we would never know were
it not for your sheet. There is no paper so
