along finely with them, as some of them knew me. Well, I will attempt to tell you all that passed. I will only say if Jeff, Davis could know what I said and all I said while there, he would have me hung in forty- eight hours. There was no difference of opinion between the men of Sevier county and myself — no, not the slightest shade — except in one instance. I gently hinted that I had sometimes thought it might have been better for the glorious Union cause if the President--our President (Lincoln)--had not sent out his last proclamation. They swore it was a d — d rebel lie, and concocted by the cursed rebels, solely to injure the Union cause in Tennessee, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri, and asked me if it was possible that I (a good Union man) could for a moment be imposed upon by such a base rebel fabrication. I told them that I had never thought of it before, but I was willing then to bet one thousand dollars that it was a forgery. To make short of a long story, they trea<

unded and dying which Washington city has so often witnessed. Dr. Sampson, a Baptist minister, on the day of one of our "fasts," called the attention of the union prayer meeting to it, and desired that God would bless the day to our everlasting good. It met with the approbation of some, but Dr. John C. Smith remarked, if this was to be converted into a "secesh" meeting he would come no more, and his majesty has since kept at home to curse the South and invoke blessings on the head of President Lincoln.--Although I was once a teacher in his Sabbath school, and a member of his congregation, yet I was afraid to attend his church, lost he should recognise and report me to the Provost Marshal, and have me imprisoned. We do trust the prayers of the few righteous will be heard, and that He who is Head over all things to the Church will grant them and us the speedy blessings of peace. Christ does not delight in bloodshed and the horrors of war, therefore they and we may humbly draw nigh a

A demand for Col. Zervona's release, It gives us great satisfaction to learn that Gov Letcher in cads to hold on to the prisoners lately taken by the Virginia force under Gen Floyd, and to give Lincoln notice that a certain number of them will be placed in the penitentiary, in close confident, and subjected to precisely the some treatment on Col Zervona, until that gallant officer is released. Virginia and the whole South will thank Gov Letcher from the bottom of their hearts for this righteous act. The horrible tyranny which has so long and with perfect impunity, been perpetrated upon one of the most chivalric and noble spirits of the South will now he brought to an end. Our readers will recollect the capture of a steamboat by Zarvona, dressed in woman's attire, one of the most brilliant and dashing affairs of the war. For this achievement, which would have excited the admiration of a generous enemy, Colonel Thomas has ever since been kept in solitary confinement in a prison c

A less company --Capt. Wm. W. Goldsborough, who formerly commanded one of the companies composing the well known First Maryland regiment, (now disbanded) has succeeded in forming a company of ninety picked men, composed of part of his former command and natives of Maryland who have lately fled to Virginia to escape from the tyranny of Lincoln's minions. They will be sworn in to day as soldiers in the Confederate army, at Camp Maryland, on the western suburbs of the city and will go immediately to join the Maryland Line, under which organization is mustered all of the Maryland troops now in service in Virginia.

Yankee Cruelty. A gentleman from Western Virginia states that two or three young ladies are imprisoned in the jail in Wheeling, and tied to the floor, on the charge of disloyal sentiments and practices. Such out rages upon humanity call for the prompt action of our Generals in the West, ret upon women, but upon the first male subject; of Pierpont and Lincoln she felt into our hand. They should tie up the first dozen Yankees they capture the trees and keep them tied till these young ladies are released. No measure short of this will ever teach the brutal enemy the first principles of civilization.

can afford a defeat under existing circumstances." Referring to the battle of Saturday, the Baltimore American, of Tuesday evening, says: "The impression at Washington yesterday was that the battle will not be renewed for several days, unless the rebels bring it on. Gen Burnside has no doubt fully ascertained the position and strength of the rebel defences, and will need time both to secure his own position and to prepare for further operations" The Washington Republican, (Lincoln's organ,) of the 17th, says: "At this writing we have nothing but the simple telegraphic announcement of yesterday morning from Falmouth, that our troops are all this side of the river, and that the pontoons are up. If they retired back to Falmouth without loss of men and material in the operation, as it is reported they did it indicates skill and good fortune on the part of our Generals; or inattention, or over caution on the part of the rebels or all of these things together.
