We lake the following from the Knoxville

bears out one of the complaints made to us,
and which we noticed day before yesterday.—
Wont somebody look after this matter?
A PEEP IN A HOSPITAL
Mr. Editor'. We would not detract from hu
man greatness or underrate real worth, but
plain undeniable facts should be noticed, when
and wherever they blight publio good, or are
A such a nature a9 to endanger the life and
well-being of our soldiery. At a hospital in
itie vicinity of Bean’s Station we were distressed
;o notice the inattention and reckless indiffer
ence, exercised toward the sick and dying sol
dier, by men in government employ—men who
get position only for money—who oare not how
many swelter out their lives in filth so that
they can get whiskey to drink and cards to
play. We learned, upon inquiry, that card-
playing in tho principal’s office was an every
day practice, to the constant neglect of duty.
We are anxious that a scrutiniiing public
may take notice of such conduct, and protect
:ht Govcjument in the most complete manner,
and raise a voice against rascality wherever
seen, until men of worth shall be promoted in
their stead. OBSERVER.

Revival In the First Baptist Church.
F«r three weeks past the members of the
First Baptist Church have been holding a se
ries ol meetings, which has resulted in the ad
dition of fifteen persons to the Church by ex
perience, and seven by letter. Many have
preedited themselves asking an interest in the
prayers of the people of God. The meeting,
we understand, is still in progress.
In a Bad Fix.
The following letter was received a few day
ago Lorn a soldier absent on furlough, by
Dr. Thomas 3. Powell, in charge of one of the
hospitals in this city. We omit names and lo
calities otherwise we lay an exact copy of it
before our readers for their amusement. We
should say this soldier was “in a bad fix,”
emphatically.

6?#“ IVg take the following items from the
Chattanooga Rebel of the 21st inst
Refugees fkosi Middle Tennessee.—We
learn through a gentleman direct from Tupelo
ihat Hon. 0. A. P. Niehoison, Judge William
L. Martin, and Mr. Joseph Branch, brother of
Gen. Bjanch of North Carolina, all citizens of
Maury county, had arrived safely South of the
line, having been expelled from their homes
by order of Gen. Negley. They represent the
people of Middle Tennessee as more united
and determined in their hostility to Federal
tyranny than at any time since the war com
menced ; that all feel the Rubicon is passed,
and that we have no alternative but in liberty
or death.
Our informant learned through these gen
tlemen that there are about 700 guerillas in
Maury, who have interrupted railroad com
munications, captured their foraging parties,
and accomplished great good in that section of
the country. Our people are looking anxious
ly and hopefully to a day of deliverance. Sons
of Tennessee, shall they look in vain?
Col. Woodwabd Killed.—The numerous
friends of Lieut. Col. Woodward, of the 1st
Kentucky regiment, will be pained to hear of
his death. He was killed in Hopkinsville, to
gether with a chivalric young Irishman, who
had accompanied him there on a visit to his
family, last week. It appears the Colonel un
dertook, with his friend, to remind several of
the Union men in that town of their traitorous
conduct, and they sent word to some Indiana
cavalry in the neighborhood, giving informa
tion about ibe Colonel, who heroically made a
charge on the town and murdered the Colonel
and his friend.
The Federal commandant of the post
at Nashville has issued an order making it a
penalty for any one to pay gold and silver in
tho pnr hase of cotton or other products of the
South. The old Constitution used to read that
nothing but gold and silver should be a legal
tendet. Singular discoveries have been made
under .he reign of King Abe the First.
Recent arrivals from Nashville state
mat it is the general belief of the citizens that
Andy Johnson has placed a quantity of powder
under the Capitol, and avows his “ intention
of blowing it to hell,” if he has to evacuate
the city, and that he will also leave the city in
ashes.

Address of Gen. Breckinridge to bis Troops
HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD. I
Near Comite River, Aug. 6, 1862. J
To the Officers and Soldiers under my command:
I desire to express to you briefly my sense
of your gallant conduct in the late operations
Baton Rouge, from the character of the ground,
oould not be taken and held while the enemy
oemmanded the river. Accordingly, the Ar
kansas was to engage the gunboats, mortar
boats and floating battery, while you were to
whip the enemy on land Unfortunately, the
machinery of the Arkansas became so much
injured, that she could not reach the scene of
action. Your part of the work was nobly
done.
After marching ail night through a country,
destitute of water, you attacked an enemy su
perior to you in number, admirably posted,
and supported by the fire cf the fleet : you
forced them from tneir positions, taking pris
oners and several flags ; killing and wounding
many ; destroying most cf their camps, and
large quantities of public stores, and driving
them to the bank of the river, under cover of
the gnns of their fleet. The inability of the
Arkansas to reach the scene of conflict, pre
vented the victory from being complete: but
you have given the enemy a severe and salu
tary lesson.
And now those who so lately were ravaging
and pluudering in this region, do not care to
extend their pickets beyond the sight of the
fleet.
You have proved again, what has been so
often demonstrated in this war, that the sol
diers of the Confederate States, fighting in a
just cause, are superior to their enemies.

Important Decision of Lincoln—Negro
Regiments Refused.
IYe have already announced that Lincoln
bad refused to recognize negro regiments in
the prosecution of the nefarious war against
the Southern States. The following telegraphic
correspondence of the New York Herald, un
der date of Washington, 4th, will be found in
teresting .
The etforts of those who love the negro more
than the Union to induce the President to
Bwerve from his established policy are una
vailing. He will neither be persuaded by
promise nor intimidated by threals. To-day
he was called upon by two U. 8. Senators, and
rather peremtorily requested to accept the ser
vices of two negro regiments. They were flatly
and unequivocally rejected.
The President did net appreciate the neces
sity for employing the negroes to fight the
battles of the country, and take the positions
which the white men of the nation, the voters
and sons of patriotic sires, should be proud to
occupy ; there were employments in which
the negroes of rebel masters might well be en
gaged, but he was not willing to place them
upon an equality with our volunteers, who had
left home and family and lucrative occupation
to defend the Union and the Constitution,
while there was volunteers or militia enough
in the loyal States to maintain the government
without resort to this expedient. If the loyal
people were not satisfied with the policy “he
has adopted, be was willing to leave the Ad
ministration to other hands. One of the Sen
ators who had preferred this request was im
pudent enough to tell the President he wished
to God he would resign.
This interview between these apostles of ne
gro elevation and the President has presented
a direct issue. The whole country will rejoice
that Mr. Lincoln has expressed his determina
tion not to degrade the gallant volunteers who
are now bleeding and dying for the Union and
the Constitution, by acceding to the demands
of the few firce fanatics who would pervert the
war for the Union into a simple abolition raid.
The decision of the President in this case
settles the question as to an admission of negro
brigades. One of the Senators alluded to was
from Kansas, and the Tribune’s story about
Jim Lane’s negro regiments is at cnee proved
a bursfed bubble, ditto Greely's red breeched
negro brigade, and the negro regiments that
have been reported to be organizihg in this
district.
Hoop pole Bctueb.-Butler is known among
the Yankees as “Hoop-poie Butler.” The or
igin of this nick-name would not be readily
imagined. We have it, however, from a gen
tleman well informed of the General’s antece
dents. The eyes of this monster are so ar
ranged that one looks up and the other down,
so that when you are standing before him you
find on 3 of his eyes directed to the toes of your
shoes and the other to the top of your hat. A
Yankee} standing before him one day and no
ticing this extraordinary range of vision, ex
claimed, “You’d beat us all gettin’ hoop-poles;
you would!” “ Why so ?” said the General.—
“Because, to get ’em straight, we have to look
from the top to the bottom, and then from the
bottom up to the top—but you can sight’em at
one spy ” The bystanders at once dubbed
him “ Hoop-pole Butler-” This is doubtless
the only public incident of Butler’s life which
does not excite horror or disgust. The joke
has the true Yankee ear marks. The habit of
making jests of personal deformity is almost,
universal in that manly race.—Jackson Missis

Richmond, Aug. 21—In the Senate to-day
^Ir. Sparrow of La., from the Committee on
Military Affairs, presented a bill providing
for the enrollment of all persons liable to mil
itary duty, not already enrolled, wherever
found. A "so, a bill concerning Partisan Ran
gers.
Mr. Yancey, a series of resolutions affirm
ing that the war being waged by the United
States is a war as well on the people, as on
the government of the Confederate States;
that the principles upon which this govern
ment and the government of the sevtral States
composing it are founded, justify each citizen
In attacking the invader, either by individual
action or by organiued bands ; that when any
of our citizens, in the exercise of this sacred
right shall fall into the hands of the en my,
and are treated otherwise than as prisoners of
war, it is the duty of the government to re
taliate for the injury borne by them ; and
that the Senate will give the President its un
faltering support in the prompt execution of
any measures devised for the complete pro
tection of our citizens in the exercise of the
inalienable right of self-deffinie-
Mr. Yancey addressed the Senate in support
of the resolution. Mr. Wigfall and others
briefly discussed the questions presented. The
further consideration of the resolutions was
postponed till Monday.
In the House resolutions were adopted ten
dering the thank3 of Congress to Gens. John
ston, Lee and Jackson, with the officers and
men of their respective commands, for gallant
and meritorious services in the late campaign.
An amendment was submitted by Mr. Foote,
of Tenn., tc except Gen Huger—not agreed
to. _
A bill was introduced deolaring Kansas to
be within the limits of the Southern Confede
racy.
Ohap.lesTon, Aug. 21.—A force of 160 S.
Carolinians surprised the enemy at daylight
this morning, on St. Helenr Island, near Port
Royal. Several of the Y'ankees, including the
Lieutenant commanding, were killed, and 36
taken prisoners. Our loss is six slightly and
two mortally wounded.
Nassau dates to the 13th have been received
— news unimportant. The papers publish a
decree of the Vice Admiralty court releasing
from custody the British ship Ovieto, seized
some time ago for a supposed violation of
neutrality in naving been fitted up for a Con
federate gunboat.
Chati inoqga, Aug. 21.—The following was
received at Knoxville to-day :
Barboursyille, Aug. 18.—We took posses
sion here to-day, capturing 45 prisoners—on
ly 6 of whom were not in the hospital. The
enemy has retreated towards Cumberland
Ford. Scott’s Louisiana Cavalry have cap
tured Logan—particulars of the capture not
known yet.
[Signed] JOHN PEGRAM, Colonel.
[Barboursville is in Knox county, Ky., in
the rear of Cumberland Gap, about 89 miles,
and some 15 or 20 miles beyond Cumberland
Ford. It is proper now to state, what we knew
a week ago, that a column of the troops of
Gen. Kirby Smith’s command had crossed the
Cumberland mountains via Big Creek Gap,
(Jacksboro, Campbell county, Tenn.) They
have no doubt cut off the Yankees at the Gap
from escape, as they were from supplies by
Morgan.—Eds. Coufed.]
Important Movements at Hand.
It is now evident that the whole of the
available force* of the Yankees in Virginia
are concentrated in and about Culpepper ooun-
ty, say thirty mile# this side of Manassas
Junction. The several corp9 and divisions o
Banks, Fremont, McDowell, Pope, McClellan
and Burnside, are at that one point, as well as
all the Yankee forces which were in Western
Virginia. What steps our government has ta
ken to meet this combination, we do not know,
and would not say if we did. We have no
doubt the proper steps have been taken. No
doubt we have a sufficient force to meet and de
feat this grand final effort of the desperate
North It is a last effort to secure a victory
at some point, and make an onward movement
towards Richmond. M?Clellan last winter
moved his whole army down to the Peninsula,
abandoning as utterly impracticable the idea
of coming to Richmond by land on the North
Defeated and disgraced, he has gone back a
subordinate, to assist in a last effort to take
Richmond; according to the original pro
gramme. It very much reminds us of the
hare when hunted down. In its first flight it
outstrips the hounds, leaving them far behind;
but when its powers of endurance are broken,
it commences to run hither and thither, seeks
its bed from which it was first aroused, and
prolongs the chase for a time in efforts to ao
complish by sirateg what it has failed to do
by wind and muscle A collision, such as we
have as yet known nothing of, must soon oc
cur in that vicinity We have no fears as to
the result—though the most momentous inter-
tess hang uyon it.
In another important quarter, which for the
present, shall be nameless, we shall soon tear
of a collision with the enemy, which will tell
effectually in our favor whenever the blow is
struck. Let all take courage and hope for the
test- We regard our prospects at present, as
most encouraging.

Farm or Morgan’s last Expedition —
Our old friend, Dr. Strader, of Morgan s Cav
alry, returned to our city night before l iSt ,
bringing three wagon loads (tour hogsheads) ol
tobacco, which was captured by Morgan s com
mand at Dixon’s Spring, Sumner county, Ten
nessee, with the wagons and a negro driver.
The wagons and tobacco excited considera
ble attention when they appeared on Gay et.,
to be turned over to the Quartermaster’s De
partment. The tobacco belonged to a Middle
Tennessee tory, who was sending it to Galla
tin to be sent to Louisville. Col. Morgan de
stroyed forty hogsheads more at Gallatin, be
longing, it is said, to tho same party.
The negro is said to belong to a loyal South
ern man, but he wa3 unfortunately in tho em
ployment of a tory in illegal trade. A gentle
man asked, in the hearing of the negro, “is
this a Yankee negro?” The negro, seeming
ly mortified, responded, “When you talk that
way, you tread on my toes.” He evidently
did not like to be associated with the Yank* e3.
Sensible negro.
Dr. Strader placed us under renewed obli
gations for a batch of late Northern papers.—
