Tory Outrages in Ea*l Teunewee. A correspondent of the Knoxville Regis ter, writing under the date of Hawkici county, April 22d f says : The reinforcement of the Conacrpt law forced hundreds of our cowardly traitors in fo Kentucky, auci a like enforcement there is now running them back upon u«. They have taken refuge in our mountain 4 and des cend to plunder fchr property of honest men. There are hundreds of that ciass of men among us now, and the only security that Southern men have against them is to bat tle against them single handed, *!ooe, or give up to these infernaf rascals, and leave the country. An incident occurred in this neighborhood last night that I will mention to you. Col. Jacob Miller, who is well known to you, is a man of property and high standing here, and wherever he is known, whose strong j Southern patriotism has rendered him odi ous ua the eyes of native and imported I in- 1 colnites. Seven of these abortions ot crea tion went to his house lnt-.t -night alter he had retired, two of whom allied to stay for the night, stating they wore Confederate sol diers. This was the passport to the hospi talities of his house, and tfr*y were admit ted, when they abused him aud family out rageously, said they had been sent there to take him prisoner and refuted to let him move even to dress himself. While one held a pistol upon him the other ransacked the house, took all arms, ammunition and whatever else suited them. At their command, Col.
