We would most respectfully request that
oar people be prohibited from gratifying
their curiosity by visiting and conversing
with Gen. Prentiss and the other Yankee
officers with him. They are enemies, and
though their being iu our power should save
them from insult or harsh treatment, yet we
cannot reconcile it to our feelings to see our
people visit them through curiosity, and sit
down and have social friendly chats with
them—just as if their steel was not whetted
to be plunged into’ our hearts as soon aj
they ure out of our power, and just the same
as if they would not play the part of Butler,
tho brute, in this city, if W6 were under
their thumb.

Correspondence of the Mobile Register.
From Chattanooga—Movements of the
Enemy.
Chattanooga, June 12, 1867.
Tno threatening position of the enemy’s
forces in the vicinity of Cumberland Gap,
and tho southern portion of Kentucky, near
the State line, indicates that a movement
will soon be made towards East Tennessee, if
not now actually commenced. The enemy is
reported to be twenty thousand strong, near
Boston, Kentucky, and have lately been re
inforced with some twenty pieces of artillery,
A simultaneous movement of the enemy up
the Sequatchie Valley by Will’s Valley to
this place, would certainly jeopardize East
Teunesscc, and if successful, would give the
onemy possession of Cherokeo-Gcorgia, en
dangering Atlanta. It is no doubt the inten
tion of the enemy to effect an entrance into
East Tennessee, either by Wheeler’s or Big
Creek Gap—mo3t probably the latter—which
is oast of Cumberland Gap. The importance,
therefore, of holding Chattanooga and the
passes over the Cumberland Mountains, can
not be over estimated ; for it is only by the
former or the latter points that East Tennes
see can be invaded. Besides this, should East
Tennessee fall into the hands of the enemy,
our communication with Virginia on this line
would be cut off, and all our coal mines,
which now sustain our manufacturing estab
lishments of all kinds in Georgia, while that
State itself would be seriously threatened.
It must bo apparent to every one then, that
t great effort should be made to preserve this
portion of our Confederacy from the hands
of tho enemy, and our people should not
sleep over the danger that threatens them.
Since the shelling of Chattanooga, a pit
has been discovered over the river, which on
opening, nine dead Yankees were found,
showing that the loss of the enemy was very
considerable.

guarding the cargo of salt, cotton cards, soap,

needed here. But I am sorry to say that im

out of danger, that the hirelings found the
ship lying at anchor about four miles from
land, waiting for her load. There was nothing
ou board but their provisions for another trip
»*ni tfcn bags ol cotton, and when the seamen
tound that there was no other alternative to
keep her out of their infamous hands, they
set her on lire and made their escape. When
the Yanaees saw the cotton, they made eve-

A Pregnant Letter from Europe.
THE COTTON* TAillNE IN EARNEST—INTERV EX- j
TION* INEVITABLE
Gar readers will recollect that we some j
time ago published a highly interesting let- j
ter from Monadnock, the London coirespon- ,
dent of ihe N. Y. Times. The following ie
the next letter from the same source which j
is found in the Times of the 6?h iusL We j
shall leave all our readers to form their own j
estimate of the importance to be attached to j
it:
Lonuon, Tuesday, May 20, 1862.
The surrender of New Orleans and the
evacuation of Yorktown have fallen upon
the British public like two very heavy claps
of thunder. The first event is a mystery no
one pretenos to explain. We wait for fur
ther particulars. As it cow appears, it is
pregnant with alarm. If gunboats can pass
shore batteries and harbor defenoee, what
city in the world is safe 1 An iron clad gun
boat could ascend the Thames any day, and
lying in the pool below London bridge, re
duce the great Metropolis to submission or
to ashes. But the same is true of New York,
and of every city which lies upon the sea or
a navigable river.
There is a general giviug up hero, ou tar
as military operations are concerned. Mr.
Spence holds out, but the Times surrenders.
The power of the North is too great to be
resisted—the South must sootier or later be
conquered. The question now is, will they
be subdued I Wi}l they give up a struggle
so hopeless, and accept such terms as their
oouquerors may offer ? If so, there will soon
be peace, commerce and Cotton. But what
if the South still resist—burn Co.ton and
Tobacco—fall back into the interior, and
carry on the war as the Colonists did in
1776-83? This is what Europe dreads, and
must, if possible, take measures to prevent.
If Southern ports be opened, and the plant
ers will sell their Cotton and buy goods, they
may do as they please about the restoration
of the Union. There ie sympathy with the
South, but it is ueeless. There is hatred df
the North, but it determines no action And
what is that interest! One-third cf the
Cotton mills in England are idle, and more
than another third are working short-handed
or short time. Short time means two or
three days in a week. The India Cotton,
which they are obliged to use, is so full of
trash and waste, and so short in staple, that
tho extra time required to work it, still fur
ther reduces tho wages of the operatives —
More than a hundred thousand people iu
Lancashire are paupers. Three times that
number are on the verge of starvation The
distress extends to the collieries, the shop
keepers, and every branch of trads. Some
have died of starvation ; others are tco far
gone for help. Insanity and horrible mur
der have begun their work in Manchester —
A father, driven to despair, killed his three
childreen last week, and then murdered the
landlord’s agent, who had stripped him of
his household furniture. Meetings of work
ingmen begin to be held. A meeting of 6,-
000 at ABhton, a few days ago, demanded
intervention. And this demand will grow
U'qLuEA'Ui.L oOiewBT- 1 -^" ,v> !a &
And Cotton there must br. Every promise
of supply has been deceptive Less Cotton
is on the way from India than there was years
ago. China sends none. The supply from all
other sources is not a drop in the bucket.—
Day by day the small stock diminishes.—
Day by day the want, the hunger, the wide
spread misery increases. America feeds an
army of more than half a million. England
has a still larger army which the war has
brought into conflict with a more terrible foe
than the Southern Confederacy—hunger.—
England is rich, but sho cannot long bear
the burdens now thrown upon her. England
has a wonderful power of alms giving, but
what alms are sufficient for such a calamity ?
Private benevolence is over-tasked. Tire
war in America i* costing England more
money and more suffering than many a war
of her own. What can you expect, then,
when feeling and interest are alike against
it? If it do not end in thirty days there will
be measures taken to close it. Your Washing
ton correspondent, whose lelter on the visit
of M. Mercier to Richmond is copied in the
Times, believes that France has called upon
the Confederacy to surrender. It is not
credited here that the Emperor would gne
such advice. It is very generally believed
and confidently stated that his feelings would
lead him to wish for a very different termi-
nation. , , , . .
The English people look now with some
hope for a speedy end cf the war by a result
they have all along declared impossible—the
conquest of the South. They are also look
ing for a tremendous fininancial crisis iu the
North. The people of Europe cannot under
stand the manner in which a Government
goes on month after month with the most lav
ish and enormous expenditures, without rev
enues or taxation. They predicted a failure
of the war months ago for the lack of means.
They do net see how it can go cn ; and wheu
stocks rise, and the public credit grows
stronger, they compare it to the South Sea
bubble and the railway mania, and are look
ing for the cia3h that they think must inev
itably follow. But all calculations have
failed and ail expectations been disappointed.
I can make no claim to infallibility, but I
have been to Lancashire and looked upon its
sufferings and distress. It is heartrending
m its character, and appalling in its extent.
No one can tell what may be tbe result —
The Government may be forced to action
which it does not now contemplate. Half a
million of people reduced to starvation is a
volcano that may burst into eruption. The
Irish starved peaceably, because, it was said,
they were used to starvation. The opera
tives of Lancashire have not been accustomed
to it. They know that the Government conld
give them relief—the only relief they desire
—labor. It would not be straDge if they
demanded help in a manner that no Governs
ment could resist. The first sign of action
will be a change of administration, unless
the present Government chooses to avoid
such a change, by a change of policy. But
it cannot have escaped your observation that
the only organs of public opinion here fa
vorable to the North, have been the extreme
liberal papers, while the entire moderate
conservative and Tory press has been in
sympathy with the South, and the more vio
lent ana decidedly Tory the paper, the
stronger has been its opposition to the Union.
Intervention on the American continent
has commenced in Mexico. According to
present appearances England and Spain have
withdrawn from the field and left the Empe
ror to establish an Austrian Monarchy on
the Southern border of the United States.—
There is some jealousy and mortification
here, but England pats the best face she
can npon it, for it is useless to complain.—
But intervention, on the part of France, has
become a habit. When a man places him
self at the head of civilization, and believes
that he has a mission to regulate the uni
verse, what can you expeet? It will be
6cme days before this reaches you I can
not tell what has happened in the ten days
past, nor what will be done in ten days to
oorne, in America, before this comes to hand,
but 1 shalt be much surprised if the action of
M. Mercier does not prove to be but the prelude
of some further and more important action.
It is said that the Emperor has been very
much annoyed at the consequence given to
the young scions of the house of Orleans by
our Government, and their position on the
staff of the late Commander in Chief of tho
American armies. Perhaps it did not strike
Nir. Lincoln as an indelicate proceeding;
"imi if it had been done by any European
Po.ver, it would have been an insnlt. How
would Victor Emanuel like to see the Ex-King
of Naples occupying a similar position in
the French army ? There is a story that the
Emperor expressed his dissatisfaction in this
maUer to Archbishop Hughes in no equivo*
cal term?. It is to be hoped that the amia
ble prelate was able to make a ati&fnctory
explanation.
The International Exhibition feels the
pressure cf the dmes. The receipts of last
week were less than one half those of tbe
corresponding week of the Exhibition of
18-31. It opens slowly, and will not be fully
order until the 1st of June, when the
great body of the people will be invited to
come for a shilling. Iu ordinary times there
would be crowded excursions from the man
ufacturing districts, This year they cannot
be looked for. They will have hard* work iu
all the North to keep from dying from hun
ger.
All eyes are turned to America. The
Pope, Victor Emanuel and ail the European
interests ere forgotten. Prosperity or ad
versity, peace or war, life or death, depend
npon the events now taking place in Virginia
and tbe Southwest. If tho North is to con
quer, it must be soon. England cannot bear
a protracted struggle. There will b- interven
tion if there is not peace.
MONADNOCK
The Yankee YGrus In Baltimore.
The Yankees of the North have an unfors
tuuafe fatality of running stark mad upon
the receipt of intelligence of disaster to any
of the “Armies of the Union.’’ Like a rabid
dog from water, they turn from the truth
with a bound, and run about the streets of
the cities, slapping in the face, beating and
knocking down tnose of their feilow-men
who are lucky enough not to be afflicted like
unto them. With the ‘ mania on them,’’ they
clamber to the roofs of of newspaper offices
of “doubtful loyalty" and fling on-, the en
sign of ifcelr madness; then descend, choke
the proprietor to his kuees, enter the private
sanctuaries of home, drive forth the occu
pants, and chase them through the streets.
All this because some one of their own ilk
fails with his fellows in soma thfevir.g, ne
gro-stealing operation In Virginia
We are, therefore, not surprised ta see the
mania has appeared in Baltimore in a very
violent form Tho deleat of Banks, and the
bagging of Ivenly’s entire First Marylan
(Yankee) regiment (every man of whom, ac
cording to the Clipper, was a hero) was the
unfortunate c.aute of it. The trmh slipped
out and bit some cue, and the whcl| Union
population, and the Yankee soldies *f occu
ruitio- . ran wi.n him. r uidow.-v
cee8iomst3 didn't weep over the disaster to
the hero of a brace of skirmishes on the Po
tomac and the Guardian of the Canal they
would make them weep. They shouldn’t go
about their business with dry eyes and smil
ing faces while Union heads we;e bowed and
Union eyes were weeping. Si, urs.’ You
shall “weep with those that wetp,” and not
“rejoice with those that rejoice with those
tnat rejoice.” And they straightway fell
upon poor Seceasia aud began pounding him
as little boys often pound their fellows at
school for laughing at each others cries and
tears after tbe schoolmaster has turned them
over his knees. And Seceseia fared badly,
and numerous were the kinked noses and
eyes in mourning. The New York Herald
tells us that in the case of a bu oher named
Kirk, the mob applied his o ■* r. vocation to
his person, pouuding up ins head info a
“chop” and his face into a “mutton jelly.”
‘•So,” the Herald adds, “they butchered
him.” Another, the reporter of tbe Mary
land News Sheet, was chased for squares by
soldiers with side arms and rowdies with
plubs, who cried “kill him!” “kill him !”at
his heels. With exhausted breath the fugi
tive turned, and stood on the defensive—a
thing Secessia is never expected to do—and
stabbed severely two of his pursuers. Now
here was an outrage ! It demanded tha at
tention of at ieast a score of Provost po
licemen, who lounged like loafers at the cor
ners, looking at the “sport.” They seized
the “J d secessionist” who dared to de
fend himself, and jerked him to the police
station, the rabble following, and prancing
leaping outside, like wolves that howl and
whine and fall upon and tear each other when
they see a mea! of human flesh escape them.
And thus the “sport” went on from day to
day. It was the grand hunt of the Seces
sionists, the game in full season. It was the
thrashed bully taking out his spite on an in
nocent spectator; the go&red bull rushing
upon the weakest of the herd ; the whipped
Banks and the Lincoln Government at Wash-
inton expending their wrath npon the city of
Baltimore and its Southern citizens. They
are to be taught to repress the Southern
feeling in their hearts at the success of their
brethren in arms, and to carry a lie on their
face and a false badge on their bosom. This
is the secret of the mockery of the Union a6
now held together at the North by the Gov
ernment. They care not for th~ reality if
they have but outward recognition and sem
blance of it.—Richmond Examiner 24th inst.

The Late Colonel Ashby.
A Northern jjurnal wrote ol the lamented
Ashby a few days since, as fellows:
Ashby has displayed a genius in the man
agement of his men, which has made him no
ordinary commander. He protected the re
treat of Jackson most admirably. He is a
great horceman, and always has been; and
through these mountains and forests of the
Shenandoah has ranged on horseback to the
hunt of the fox and deer, and has often dis
tinguished himself in the tournament, which
is among the still cherished practices of the
Virginians. While riding at the top of his
speed, he will throw his lance upon the
g ound and sciza it again in passing with the
utmost dexterity. His horse too is discip
lined, like bis master, to the accomplish
ment of the most wonderful feats. He will
drop to the ground in a flash, at the wish of
his rider, and rise again as suddenly, bound
through the woods like a deer, avoiding all
trees and branches, clearirg every obstacle,
‘amping fences or ditehes with perfect case.
All who know him say he is a man of mod
est, quiet demeanor, a silect man, who keeps
his own counsel, and is held in the moat fab
ulous regard by his men and inferior officers.
He is said to bs a Christian and a man of
eminent piety. ,
Cumberland Gap, June 11, 1862.
Dear Confederacy :
This may be my valedictory letter to you
and the good patrons who have followed me
for twelve months. I sea a determination on
tho part of the government to pat an end to
the evils arising from imprudent correspon
dence by suppressing the privilege to the in
nocent as well as the guilty. And here I wish
to add to my record a fuli acquiscenee; for
any one who has been connected with the
service as long as the writer, has learned to
think low and talk to himself. I however wish
you acd your readers to bear mo witness,
that during my epistolary connection with
the Confederacy, I have scrupulously avoided
any subject matter in reference to our move
ments until we had actually arrived at the
place assigned us. Further; 1 have never
knowingly deceived any one, but confined
myself to simple incidents and facts, mostly
from actual observation. I will take this oc
casion to say that, if any tuing I have written
has done injustice to any person, an t it can
be shown me, I am ready to make amends.
I have no intimation that my letters to the
good folks at home, through tho Confederacy,
are objected to, and I can have the privilege,
until orders are issued to the contrary, of col
oring the mishaps of some, and speaking in
glowing terms of the moro fortunate; and I
hope this is not my iait opportunity to record
my ob:ervations and reflections in the cities
of life and gayety, in tho picturesque wilds
of the mountains whore we are now encamp
ed, at the bedside of the dying, and the grave
where sleeps the soldier, the halls crowded
with those who join in the merry dance, the
tent where a few mingle in prayer, and the
circle where rude jests and ribaldry ara in
dulged. I hope not; but if the order comes,
I must then oe silent.
Some strange phautazy hai eeizsd the
minds of our Lincoln defenders at tho Ford
in front of U3, lor they have imagined that
the rebels at tho Gap have somehow some
thing otter to eat than hard sea biscuit and
dried beef, and to verify this they come as
deserters. Taey try to make us believe that
they are convinced they are in a wrong pow,
but all such attempts have failed. Yet they
are welcome to the rations cf a prison. No
less than five of this class came to us last
week, and their crawling propensities towards
our line of pickets, to ayoid being shot, is ev
iaenco enough of their close kin to the snake
tribe. One fellow was quite ingenious in hjs
repentance, for says he: “ Gentlemen, if
faoiiiy quarrel should take place, which is
often the ease, about the rights of property,
and the weaker side- owned black slaves and
the stronger white slaves, and the weaker
wished to retire and work his slaves to the
best advantage, it is according to no princi
pie of law or of jastieo that tho stronger b
and give up the black slaves to work on sn
equality with tho white." This may or may
not be good log'C, but he declares it to La the
prevailing sentiment of a large majority of
Western men.
By the side of your paper comes occasion
ally a copy of the Banner of Greenville, and
it affords a pleasure to all to get a lew items
from our old stamp:ng ground. Success, I
say, to ali editors who seep alive tho spirits
of the masses by tno use of the press, in spite
of the scarcity of old rags, though they do
say “old clothes is The editor of the
Banner deserves the thanks ol ail loyal East
Tennesseeans for the manly determination
exhibited to show the disloyal in their true
ga'b; and we never can forgot the venerable
countenance of its proprietor, and may the
locks of his silver grey hair b9 fanned for
many years by the breeze of a sunny Soutn-
ern land freed from Yankee rule.
A man was seen drunk the ocher day, and
it was such a novelty, and large crowds gath
ered to hear him harangue. It was a novel-
Tbe cause of his condition was that he had
run the blockade somewhere, and the sol
diers learned a lesson from the scene; for
some had often been in h a condition in days
gone by, and many were heard to say, “no
more liquor for me." This reminds me cf a
duty I owe you and your patrons. A glass of
pure water is before me, the crystal drop3
blend in one with beautiful symmetry. I raise
it to my lips, and before partaking I utter
the sentiment of "confusion to the enemy
and long life and proepority to the patrons
of the Southern Confederacy.'’

Gov. Andrew Johnson has a very summa

Nashville Union contains a copy of an order
in blank issued to the Provost Marshal by
the Governor, which has been executed al
ready and will be from time to time as the
public good demands it. Tbe Union catches
the spirit of the Governor, and says “gen
tlemen who persist in utteriDg rebellious
sentiments may prepare for a speedy trip
South. They cannot remain here. They
cannot more be tolerated than scorpions,

Knoxville, Tend., June 15, 1862.
Affairs in East Tennessee are fast culmi
nating. For twelve months or more we have
been constantly threatened with invasion by
the euemy immediately north of us, in the
region of the Cumberland Gap It has been
one af the pet objects of the Federalists, all
the lime, to reach this section, not only on
account of the important strategetic advau>i
tage, which such a movement would neces
sarily acquire, iu securing our railroad, and
thus cutting off communication, but also to
come to the succor of a large Union element
which was known to be co extensive with
thi3 portion of the St3te.
And now that Nashville and Memphis have
fallen, and Andy Johnson proclaimed Mili
tary Governor of tho State, the desire to
subjugate East Tennessee has became inten-
sified. Johnson ia well aware that be can
have no possible hope of ever forming & neu-
elfcus, either iu West or Middle Tennessee,
around which to rally a “Oorporai’s Guard,”
in support of his infamous course. He rnua*,
therefore, tura his attention to the tory ele
ment of his own unfortunate section, where
alone he can have the hope if accomplish
ing anything.
It cannot uor need not be Jisguiaed, tha-',
if the purpose to reach this section could be
achieved, he would have no sort of difficulty
iu bringing to his standard hundreds, in
deed, thousands of our people. They are
now, comparatively, quiet, and are only
awailiug ihe advance of the Federal army,
which they regard now us certain.
Hence you may rest assured that there
will be no lack of effort, or of men. or of
money, to take possession of ibis country.
And, as intimated in tho outset, affairs are
coming to a Lead. The issue is made up,
and the belligerent parties ate taking ther re
spective positions preparatory to the bloody
struggle. Bloody it will be, for our soldiery
will stubbornly contest the whole ground.—
We have a fine army, made up of the best
material of the South, while we all have an
unshaken confidence in the skill and courage
of our commander—Major Geueial E. Kirhy
Smith. --
It is not proper that 1 should speak of the
movements of our forces in this department,
even if I were posted. Suffice it to say that
Gen. Smith seems to be properly vigilant, as
well as prompt and determined. He is at
his post.
It now seems that a pretty considerable
force came through one of the great number
o^grapa of the Cumberland range. Whether
their object was to make a flank movement
“U v, “ ar_1 ■ * w OT l*
msec feint to draw ua away from Chattanooga
remains to be seen. The latter conclusion
is (ho one I have arrived at. Chattanooga
can bo more easily taken than the former
position, while, in a military point of view
it is far more important. I have noticed
with pleasure, your own sagacious views
upon this subject, and had your timely warn
ings end advice been heeded, our condition
would not be half so precarious. Again and
agan have you raised your voice, and called
loudly upon cur authorities to see to it that
this gate to the very heart of the Confeder
acy bs promptly and vigilantly guarded.
Your faithful warnings are now appreciated
but, almost at the eleventh hour.
It is a question of the gravest purport, to
protect Eist Tennessee. We have an im
mense quantity of stores—more by two-
thirds than any portion of the Confederacy
To take care of these is a matter of great
concern, and should be done at ali hazards

a Down-East Juryman.
[•‘ Ethan Spike contributes to the Portland
Transcript a sketch of his experience as a
juryman. The first cases he was called to
try were capital ones—tho criminals being a
German and a " nigger” respectively.]
“ Hey you formed, any opinionien for or
agin the prisoners ?” said the judge.
" Not particular agin the Jarmin," says I,
* but I hate niggers as a general principle,
and shall go for hanging this here old white-
wooled cuss, whether he killed Mr Cooper or
not,” says I.

as yon say; I’m a regular jewryman, you
know. Drawed aout of tho box by the seelick
man,” says I. “I’ve oilers had a hankering
to hang a nigger, and now, when a merciful
dispensatory seems to have provided one for
me, you say I shan’t it fcim ! Ar this your
free institutions? I- ,n , tbe nineteenth cen-

“ The court be—!" I dida’c finish the re
