Every thing hu been comparatively quiet
for the lut few day*.
Lieut. Reynold., of the 5lit Alabama,
caught 19'Yahkeea between tbe enemy’*
cavalry and infantry—a bold trick. Lieut.
Rice caught two and killed one. Tbe
prisoner* represented every army corps but
one, proving that Sherman’* army, or a
Urge portion of it, i* massed on the rail*
road, and fearing toynore on so strong po
sitions as can be had along the base of the
Keoneaaw Mountain. They will undoubt
edly more by the Botwell Factoiy road,
flanking this ridge in order to find a good
road to travel to Atlanta.
The prisoners say tbit tbe can are run
ning to Acwortb, and that the bridge over
the Etowah is finished.
Deserten that we have apprehended say
that a great many are deserting and. going
home, especially those from East Tennes-

Sherman pUyed very "fine” in coming
round Altoona Hill*. He never expected
to get on this side without a fight. Cross
ing at Donthil’s or Conger’s bridge he
“snaked” his way ronnd and to the south
side of the bills, and you can now follow
his trail to the railroad again, just where
he wished to get. He quietly waits until
his pioneer corps has finished the bridge
over the Etowab, and when he getssnffi-

They then rallied together, four of tbe gang remain

about tbo eornersof the town, and they were somewhat

bravado thoy galloped to tb. centra of tbo town, ud
rapidly dismounting, they left their hones In charge of

tsd their d.muds, which war. mad. with ssch per-

banded over their pnrsM ud various articles of Jew

In tb* rear of tbs crowd, many fortunate possessors

As soon ts tbe report of tbe pistol was heard tbe four

departments of the Government, to sscure to
loyal people of any State of the Ucitcdju.e3
ths constitutional guarantee of a.repub!i?an
form of government.
Eaohed, That tho people are the rightful
and only legitimate aonroa ot all power in the
Goverament. and tbe welfare ot the people ot
Tcnccssee will be beet assured by committing
the restoration and permanent establishment
cf civil government to a Constitutional Con
vention, to be choten by the loyal oitizens of
the State; and having full confidence in the
integrity and patrioti.-m of Govirnor Andrew
Johnson, Military Governor of the Siate, we
submit that he call such a convention at the
earliest period when in his judgmenttha Slate
can be’reprosented from ait her parts.
Rtsolved, As African slavery was the fruit
ful cause of all our ruin, and experience has
demonstrated that its existence is incompati
ble with the perpetnily of free and repub. ican
institutions; and, as it has now been strangled
in the homo cf its own friends, we declare
oar purpose not again to resurrect it, and
hereby pledge ourselves to use all fair and
honorable means to eeenretbe election of each
delegates to the Convention,.when called, as
will forever prohibit its existence in the State.
Retcletd, That while we feel assured the
abolition of slavery will„ia all time to oome,
secure aa, and our poRttrityafUr us, against
the recurrence of the horrors ofanothor bloody
rebellion,.we declare that the Government of
The United States, and the 'governments of the
States erected under the Constitution theroof,
are the governments of the free white man,
and to be controlled and administered by him,
end the negro mast assume that status to
which the laws of an enlightened and high-
toned civilization shall assign him.
Resolved, That while wo deplore the farther
effaaionof blood, and anxiously await th ' ; re
turn ot peace and the restoration of the Union,
we are left by the relentless cruelty end un
justifiable pertinacity of the enemies of our
common country, no alternative bat to oppose
force, until the Bannerol Freedom shall wave
in triumph over every inoh of soil in every

fledge onr lives, our forlnnep, and our sacred

unflinching courage and patriotism, has en
deared himself to all American patriots, and
by his long i ubli: -ervices, eppeoialiy. by his
administration of affairs'in this Stato during
his term as Military Governor thereof, he has
gained tho entire confidence of all the loyal

recommend him for the second place in tho

Resolved, That -we congralulale tho country
and the Government on the successful connec

the Tennessee river, whereby a permanent
communication is tffeoted between the heart
of tbo rebellions States and the waters of the
Great West, and a doable line of rail and liver
’communication opened up, from the Mississip

Daring the session, George W. Bridges, of
McMinn county, was called upon for
ep.eeoh. The' Times thus reports Calonol B’s
remarks:
CoL Bridges, cf the 7th East Tennessee Cav
alry, was called on for s speech, but excusod
himself, as he hsd just rode iu from eamp and
had no speeoh to make. But ho was ever
read f.to hit a blow at tho’infernal rebellion,
in the field, in the woods or. in public meet
ings. He rrjoioed to see that the rebellion was
sinking. It ia bound to fall. We have tho
men and money to do it and wo will destroy it
effeotnally.' Come on Democrats, Black Be-
publicans, men of every faith, and help pnt
down the rebellion. This is our first great,
essential work. We mean to do the work thor
oughly. Traitors shall not live in our part of
tho 8tate. The Union men are determined to
stay and tho rebels must.leave. Men who
aided the rebellion moat take back seats nntil
they have become naturalized, as foreigners
are. The marauders and bushwhackers must
be exterminated. They are not to be taken
prisoners. A few more vigorous blows and
the rotten fabrio will fill to pieoss.
Tbe following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, A portion of the Btate of Tennes-
see has, without justification, wickedly enter
ed into the rebellion inaugurated by the Gulf
States against tbe Government of the United
States for the purpose of establishing a South
ern Confederacy; And whereas, The institu
tion cf alajery was the disturbing element by
which designing men were enabled to combine
and delude the peojge into the highest crime
known to civilization, resulting in the dattrac
tion of their own peace, happiness and pros-
perity, and involvingthe ruin of the State, the
loea of the public treasury and common sotiool
fond, the dee traction of her internal improve
ments and the overthrow of her civil institu
tions; And whereas, Tho Stato now lies in
ruins with all her great serial and moral rela-
ftiens prostrated, ond loudly appeals to each
patriotic heart to mike every sacrifice of prop
erty, and even life-iteelf, to restore her to the
dominion of civil law and permanent andfree
government under tho Constitntion of the
United States,
And whereas, the National Union Conven
tion assembles in the city of Bzltimoro oo the
7ti» of Juno next, for the purpose ef nomina
ting candidates for President and Vice Presi
dent of. the United States, aS3 we hope,
through the triumph of the national arms and
the wisdom and energy of the civil authori
ties, by the November election, to be able in
Tenn esses once more to oast a free and inde
pendent vote; wo therefore deem itnotim
proper to eend up delegates from this Stale,
and ask their admission to seats in the Bilti-
more Convention. In furtherance of both
these great ends, tho speedy restoration cf the
civil authority of tbe State, and the nemtea-
tion of callable candidates for th. President
and Vico President, we do propose the follow
ing resolutions:
Resolved, That we recognize that authority
and dnty of the Executive of th* United
States, or tuch agents or instrument* u
may constitutionally appoint and employ,

The aspeot of our oily exhibits, ia the
strongest light, tho rqnanimity of the people,
and the unlimited confidence felt by all in the
ability of tho noble Lee and his gallant men
to protect Richmond from the savage designs
of the enemy. The sessions of Congress, the
meetings of religious associations, the busi
ness of tho courts, tho performances at the
places of pnblic amusement, nil proooed wilh
calmness undisturbed by the gigantio struggle
occurring in such close proximity to pur homes.
Were it not for tho booming of artillery, tbo
roll of musketry, the passing of troops, and
tho occasional arrival of the wonndod, a stran
ger would suppose the contest was taking
place in some distant part of the Confederacy.
All honor to the citizens of Richmond, whose
oonraga and serene patriotiso in this the hour
of trial, will bo an abiding theme for praise
and wonder.

of Gen. Hoke and partof-Gen. Breckinridge’s

He succeeded in penetrating a satient in
Gen. Breckinridge’s lino and.captured a por

Gen. Finegaq’a’.brigado of Mahone’a divis

Repeated attacks were made upon General
Anderson’s position, chiefly against his right
under General Kershaw. They wero mot
with great steadiness, and repulsed in every
instance.
Tho attack extended to onr extreme left,
under Gen. Earjy, with like results. Later
in the day it was twioe renewed against Gen.
Heth, who occupied Early's left, but was re
pulsed with lose.
Gen. Hampton enconntered the enemy's cav

Onr loss to-day has boon small, and our

Ws Mobile Tribune has New Orleans pa-
perS’as late as the 28th of May. The Em of
that date'gives thpJollowing account of the
recent destruction of eight stsambeata and two
schooners:
Ia the fight of Friday night, it ia said onr
troops after levelling the breastworks cap
tured from the enemy, so ts to permit oar
artillery to play over them, retired. The
enemy, supposing we still held them, ad-
Tsnoed in lines ten deep to the assault, when
onr artillery opened upon them with grape
and canister, mowing down tho first line,
whioh fell baok upon those advancing, when
our artillery firing into the mass slaughtered
them by thousands. In tho fight, a solid shot
struck Gen. Brockinridgo’a horse in the breast,
and passed off back of the stirrup leather, and
between the General’s lege. He received .a
slight contusion of MS teg, occasioned by his
horso falling cn hint, but fortunately no other
rjnry. The country willrejoice at his escape.

one of the surgeons on the field, that our total
wounded, in the- several engagements and

At a fow minutes before niqp o’clock lut
night, a tiro broke ont on board the steamer
Black Hawk, lying.at tho foot of Bienville
street, and before the flames oould be stayed,
this, with seven other steamers, and two small
luggers or schooners, were totally destroyed.
In less than three-quarters of an houe after /
tight wu first seen on tho tii&ck llawk, five
steamers—the Black Hawk, New Orleans,
Fawn, Time and Tide and Bello Creole, appa- (
rently lashed together—floated doan the riv- ,
er, ono masB of fire. After getting a quarter '
of a mile or so from tho landing, an explosion
occurred on ono of the boats, from some am
munition on board..
The following are the bnrncd boats: The
Black Hawk, Meteor, New Orleans, Bells Lee,
Fawn, Empire Parish, Time and Tide, and
Ratio Credo.

When the explosion occurred, there vru a
tremendous rush over ths levee during which
a boy or man, it is not exactly known which,
fell through the’ wharf and was drowned be

Concerning tho suppression of tho Picayune
and La Courtier Francois, tho same paper
says:
Tho commanding General of tho Depart-
ment,[by a special order hu snppresssd the New
Orleans Picaynno and Le Conrrier Francois.—
Ws believe this aotion will receive tho cordial
approval of every loyal man in Louisians, who
hu watched the coarse of those papers, and is
acquainted with their disloyal character.
Tho French Courier was an out-and-out se
cession sheet, violently Abusive toward the
Government, and teeming day after day with
ridicule and insult toward the cause of the
Union and its eupporters. Since the session
of the Constitutional Convention it hu been
especially violent and inenlting; it even
to the extent of publishing a certain list of I
members, against whom it invoked not only
public reprehension, bnt mob violpncc, because
they voted against on odious pro-elavery
amendment to a certain clause of the Consti
tution. Day after dayitpublishcdcxlrnswith
falso rebel news, calculated to excite tbo pub-
lio mind and to bring contempt upon the Union
cause. Wo presume its obscurity, and the
fact that it was published in the French lan
guage, saved it long after it shonld have been
stopped For our part, we have long won
dered that tbe Government would tolerate so
violent an advocate of tho rebellion withinits
lines. „ J
The Picayune, although more cautious, was J
more dangerous, and, in our julgmcnt, hasl
dona more than aU other influences combined I
ter keep alive the secession feeling, and to f&n 1
secession hopes in New Orloans. Professing
neutrality, its offioe was a pestilent nest of
treason: Too cowardly to exprees its own
opinions, its columns were daily crowded
with ohnoxions extracts from- Copperhead
