“Tlie Campaign in Tennessee ”
It seems that tho redoubtable Anderson, the
“hero of Fort Sumter,” is to command the troops
who are expected to make the raid into East
Tennessee. He is to be assisted by Andrew
Johnson, the traitor. The Washington corres
pondent of tho New York Journal of Commerce
gives the following programme of the Federal
O impaign:
The coming campaign in Tennesse is a matter
of great political aud military interest It has,
no doubt, been fully arranged here between Sen
ator Johson, of East Tennessee, and the Govern
ment. Mr. Johnson is, in a few days, to leave
lor the theatre of operations. Thi plan is to
teet the question of the strength of Union pe&U-
meat in Tennessee. He believes, that if Bast
Tennessee be eupplied with arms, she will not
■>n.y be &b*e Id restore her own independence,
but rel eve from the oppression of the Secession
powers, the whole of middle Tennessee. He is
to rai e a very large corps of mounted riff omen
in Tennessee, while Col. Robert Anderson, of
memorv, will raise ten thousand volun
teer troops in Kentucky.
Cul* a ixJtsraou is to bo cGtaniiSS-osiGd Brig
adier General, but Is to have the command of the
whole expedition, with an army of fifteen thou
sand, Kentuckians and Tennesseans. The Gov
rutatnt is to furnish the arms, equipment Ac,,
for this army. Taking possesion of Eastern
Tennessee, this army of liberation will prevent
supplies of troops or provisions from being seat
through that region to Virginia.
Gen. Robert Anderson and his Lieutenant
Andrew Johnson, will find their campaign some
what rougher than they imagine. Let our brave
Tenneeßee b jys prepare themselves to give them
uch a warm reception as should be meted out to
two such traitors. —Nashville Union & American

We make the following extract ffeaa a recent
article in tho New York Times under the above
heading:
The London Saturday Review in one the
most vehement of the British assailants of the
Government of the United States. It evinces a
delightful rancor—an intense and unmistakable
hatred, in a.ll its comments on the efforts of our
Government to crush rebellion, which leaves no
room to doubt the sincerity cf its sympathy with
the slave trading conspiracy which has taken
up arms against us. Its issue of the Sih June
devotes three articles to the service of the Con
federates —one of which discusses the subjeet of
privateering, from the point of view which an
active, unscrupulous agent of Jeff Davis might
be expected to take. Its text is the dispatch
of Mr. Reward, announcing the adhesion of our
Government to the abolition of privateering de
creed by the European powers p.t the Conference
at Paris;'and the diift of its artiole is, first to
show that this adhesion will not beef the least
validity against the South; and second, that
it will be of the utmost value to England against
tho Gove nment of the United States. Its ar
gument is worthy of attention.
The Review begins by saying that “no act of
one belligerent can possibly affect our fEng
land’s) relations with another." By recognizing
the South as a belligerent, England has recog
nized her right to all the privileges conceded to
belligerents by the law of nations—and she is
therefore at perfect liberty to issue letters of
marque and reprisals. Nothing that the Gov
ernment of the United States may stipulate,
can in any degree affect tho rights or control the
action of the Southern Confederacy. Sho is, in
tho view of England, an independent power— |
not ia the least bound by the adhesion of the !
North to the treaty of Paris. So much for:
that point. The action of Mr. Seward does not i
in tho slightest degree affect the right of the
South to commission privateers.
On the other hand, Mr. Seward's dispatch ef
ectu&i.y ties the hands of the United States Gp
vermnent—abandons the right to issue latter* of
marque, and concedes to foreign vessels certain
privileges which may prove, indirectly, of the
utmost importance to the Southern Confederacy.
“The Government of the United States," says
the Saturday Review, “cannot accede to any
one provision of the Code of the Treaty of Pari*
without accepting all. One of these provisions
stipulates that the flag shall cover the good*.—
The property of Southerners ca board of Eng
lish Vessel ia now exempt from seizure. This
may prove exceedingly convenient to us next
winter, when we want to bring tho new cotton
to Liverpool. So long as wo do not carry con- i
traband of war, and so long as we do not break
an effective blockade, we can bring as much
cotton end take as many English goods from
and to the South as the keenest trader can de
sir®."
Orcps Southern Georgia asd Middle Flerifk
A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph,
writing from Bainbridge, Ga, under date of the
Bth inst. gives tho following enoouregbg report,
of the crops in the above locality:
During a part of last month thoro was n
drought .n portions of Southern Georgia and
middle Florida, which caused much apprehension
among corn planters, many of whom, instead of
crossing thesr light lands, and planting in hills
of proper distances, drilled their corn, thereby
rendered themselves dependent entirely upon an
abundance of rain, which, while, it favored them,
woul i have been ruinous to th® crops in the rich
lands of their neighbors. But this drought was
not a genoral one. Where I was there was plen
ty of rain.
During the last ten days I have passed
through portions of Taylor, Madison, Jefferson,
Leon aud Gadsden counties in Florida and the
Southern portion of this eounty, and I have
particularly noted th® various crops on nay way.
I have also conversed with some of the largest
planters, as well as those cultivating poor lands,
and I am prepared to say that in the region
designated above a more abundent corn crop
has never been made on the same lands than is
now maturing, Tho drought enabled the plan
ter to kill the grass and prepare his fields for
the grateful showers which have fallen so plen
tifully during tbs last two weeks. I noticed corn
of various ages, from waist high to matured
tassels and resting ears. As to the cotton crop
it is all th® secessionist could desire, both i
health and sice, and the amount of fruit upo
its limbs. Nothing has appeared thus far to
injure it in any reapoct. The sugar cane, pota
toes, peas etc., are all good. Unprecedented quan
tities of sweet potatoes and field peas have been
planted.
Best Mode of Loading a Shot Gun.—Capt.
L. M. Burfoot, of the Chesterfield Mounted Ran
gers, Virginia, gives the following direotiena
about loading double barrel shot guns to suoh
of his companions as cannot obtain ride*. The
experiment is worth trying here also :
Now I desire that each man who intends to
rely on the double barrel gun will follow my di
rections, and I will insure that a “steady aim”
will tell at eighty or ninety yards every fire.-
Carry your gun with you to the place where yon
inten tto buy your shot; get a oat wad, drive it
down the barrel of the gun a quarter of an ineh
level and smooth. Now take the shot and put
three on the wad; if they fill the bore of the gun
well, enug and smooth, without any loose space,
they will do. You will thus find that throe shot
can fill the circ eof the bore of the gun, so can
four; after four, the next number to fill the cir
cle is eeven ; to shoot men with, these last will
be too small, therefore, buy only suoh shot as
will, on c >reful trial in the gun itself, lay in tiers
of either three or four.
I prefer, for any gun, tiers cf three ; and in
loading the double gun to meet an enemy, put
in a very full charge of powder, and only two
tiers of shot, so that they will lie snug and close
in tho gun, and the six shots will be operated on
equally by the expansive force of the powder,
and will be projected from the muzzle of the gun
almost in a solid lump, and will remain within
six or eight inches of one another ia a tight of
75 or bO yards. With onl& two tiers of shot, al
most any quantity of powder may be pet under
them without risk of the gnn.

to the n& ure of the command assigned to Gen*
Wise in North-Western Virginia, and as a regi.
raent ia in course of formation in this section of
the State for the purpose of Joining that com
mand, the following extract from a letter writ
ten by the distinguished leader uaueif,will inter
est many of cur readers.
The letter is addressed to a number of gentle
men in Greenbrier county, Va., and' Is publish
ed in the Richmond Enquirer of the 9th inst :
It has pleased the President to place me in
command of the camp of the trans-Alleghany,
and it i6 proper that i should ezplam, generally,
the nature and extent of that command. By in
structions of the 3d of June, lam to raise a Le
gion; by the prompt formation of companies—
the companies to be reported, with their officers,
in order that the latter may be Commissioned.—
As soon as a regiment of ten companies is raised
the field officers will be appointed. I have the
privilege of recommending these appointment*.
When the regiments are formed, they will be ar
ranged into a brigade, which I am to command,
with the commission of Brigadier General. All
officers, of course, will be appointed and com
missioned by the President, but with a just re
gard to my recommendation. The mounted
men are not to exceed 500, equal to six compa
nies, or three squadrons. The artillery is to
consist of six field-pieces. All the troops ot the
Legion are to arm and equip themselves thorough
ly; but the arms and equipment* are to be ap
praised and paid for after being mustered into
servioe; and to aid ia this, lam authorised to
purchase private arms for the purpose. Com
panies may consist of tho minimum number of
04 or the maximum of 100 privates. The en
listments are for the war, or for a period not less
than one year. Such is the organization now
progressing, and I am authorized to transport all
recruits, engaged for it, to Lewisburg, at public
expense, up to the Ist of July next.
Besides this command of the Legion, I am
further commissioned as Brigadier General, for
the defenoe of the Kanawha V alley, and an in
definite number of tho adjoining counties. To
that end lam to prooeed, with the foree placed
at my disposal, to the Valley of the Kanawha,
by all the means in my oontrol to rally the peo
ple of that Valley and the adjoining counties to
resist and repel the invading enemies, who are
threatening tho Ohio border, or are already
trampling our soil, on their march towards Lew
isburg. I must needs rely upon tho arms among
tho people, to supply tho requisite armament;
and upon their valor and knowledge of the coun
try as a substitute for organization and discip
line. If there be any who have arras beyond
their power or will to use, I must take them with
such arrangements as the case may indicate for
future settlement. I must rely upon the sup
plies cf the country. When necessary. I shall
take them by properly authorized agents, and
they shall be promptly paid or receipted for, un
less they belong to traitors in our midst, whose
compeers have, in other parts of the Sta te, ruth
lessly stripped our patriot friends and made
them refugees from their homes in their own
mother State, essaying by all treasonable act*
and aims to divide and conquer the land of their
own birth-right—calling ruffian invaders from
other States, now declared enemies of cur own,
who have disgraced their kmd by brutal lust,
worse than the lut t cf dominion.

We append the concluding portion o f Judge
Meredith's decision in reference to the spy Hurl
but. The last dodge of this fellow, it will be
seen, is that “he is without citizenship, unless his
nativity ia South Carolina confers it." The
Judge hsva not missed the man, and we trust will
hold to his decision, and not be outwitted by this
sharper s
In this case, it has been clearly proved that
the prisoner wasa resident of the State of New
York for several years, and it is further proved
that prior to the ftth of J due last he left the
State cf New York, and on that day entered the
State of Virginia, by a permit from Gen. John
ston, He remained a few days in the Si ate, and
went on to the State cf South Carolina, where
after spending a short time, he proceeded to
Georgia, in wkich State he was arrested and
brought back to this city, and, oa the 24th ot
June, committed by order of the Executive. This
is all the proof in the case on this point. It will
be seen that it di ea not prove that he left the
city of New York with the intention of abandon
ing his residence there; still less does it prove an
intention of returning so his native domicil In
fact, the testimony in the case tends strongly to
show that his sojourn was temporary; for during
the twelve days he was in the Sou b, he passed
through four State*; and whilst in South Caro
lina, did no act whioh looked to a permanent
residence in that State. He passed through it
as rapidly as ho did through the other States.
The prisoner in his petition under oath, avers
that he is without citizenship, unless his nativity
in South Carolina confers it. He does not aver
an intention to abandon his acquired domicil in
New York, nor does he aver an intention to ro
tnrn to the domicil of his nativity.
Upon an examination of the whole case, lam
led to the conclusion that the prisoner is a citizen
of the State of New York, a State foreign to tbe
Southern Confederacy, and at war with it; and,
therefore, the Executive had jurisdiction of the
case, and his judgment cannot be rescinded.
The prisoner ia remanded to the custody cf the
Sergeant. —Charleston Mercury.
(Extract of a letter to tho Missouri Democrat.]
Caiko, July 3, 186D
News by scouts from the interior of the South
ern border report large accession to the rebel
forces at Yellviile and other points, Your cor
respondent is, by particular favor with these
scouts famished with all the consistent public
nows.
The 'force at Yellviile ia 5,500 —tolerably well
armed, with ten pieces of flying artillery. f lhis
force is composed of 1,000 Tennesseans, 2,200
Arkansas troops, 800 Kentuckians, and 1,400
Missourians—from Southern Missour and above.
They expect to increase th- ir forces from the
flying troops of Gov. Jaokson and the recruits he
gathers on his way, before the next two weeks,
over 4,000 men, while large reinforcements are
promised from the Southern Cntederacy iu the
meantime, and in a month they expect to have a
full aotive force of from fifteen to twenty thous
and men. Reynolds Vest and Peyton are said
to be actively at work urging them on.
The necessity of an eorive movement by the
Federal troops, to meet and outflank them is ob
vious. The great points of danger now to the
Union in Missouri is the Arkansas border.
Five companies secession troops four hundred
Strong, left Graves county, Ky., on Friday last,
en route for Union City, to reinforce the rebel
army there.
Armed neutrality is doing its treacherous work.
Thousands of loyal American soldiers will per
haps yet fall under this treacherous fire of the
secession parry of Kentucky. It was stopped in
Missouri promptly by Gen. Lyon,so it should be
in Kentucky before it obtains strength to do great
mischief, It is but a hidden treacherous guise
for the premeditated slaughter of loyal troops
and citizens. The United States are, under its
guise, allowing rebels* to concentrate, and, if
they are able to treacherously defeat its soldiers,
while they are compelled to look on and see
their butchery prepared for under the cloak of
friendship. Gov. Magoffin is a deeper and a more
dangerous man than Gov. Jackson, because be
has acre polioy and more deadly cunning. He
is, body and soil with the rebel States : so is
