Pirrsitu Ica, Tenn., April 24, 1862
Yesterday I obtained leave of Major Key to visit
the prisoners and deserters confined in the guard
house. They were not a very interesting let, being
mostly citizens from hereabouts, who had strayed
within the lines. They informed me, however,
that the rebel cavalry are °m464 here, es else
where, in burning all the cotton they can lay their
hands on. They ride about the country like a deso
lating tempest, burning and destroying all me.
vable property that they cannot carry away. It is
a tribute which has sometimes been thoughtlessly
rendered to Seceeh, under the influence of some
occasional displays of high moral worth, that they
won't steal what they'eannot lay their hands on ;
hereafter, the rare instances of generosity will be
of those who won't burn what they can't steal. It
is wisest loalorooo to 099 the Deaden - it Ounfedersoy
baaingi their bonds on cotton, and theddeetroyiog
all the cotton they have or are nicely to have on
hand for some time to come. It is a difficult thing
to realize from newspaper reports the truth of such
vandalism ; but when you see men who have actu
ally seen their neighbors' cotton burned, and been
obliged to atierets theht owo to lose ? It, the feet
comes home with startling distinctness. Another
incident forcibly reminded me of the great straits
to which the Secessionists are reduced. I asked if
they had any Sou Morn shinplasters, and one man, a
Methodist preacher, pulled out of his pocket the
most forlorn assortment of " toadskins" I ever be
held in all my life. There were several five and ten
dollar bills on the State Sank of Tennessee, all of
issue above the war commenced, and printed on
common white paper in the poorest style of art.
There were biiiO, or rather advertisements, or a
lower denomination, from every conceivable part
of the Southern Confederacy. What should you
think of a statement, printed in ordinary type, on
cheap thin roper, that Ryan & CO., proprietors of
a rum shop in New Orleans, called the St. Charles
Restaurant, would furnish the bearer with fifty cents'
worth of feeding on demand, passing as money away
up in Tennessee, five hundred miles away from the
place of redemption ! A highly obliging and eu
phonious firm, yclept Kember tt., Gump, also en
sotied to p.y the bearer twenty-five cents in goose
or merchandise, on a similar ticket, when pre
sented in sums o fjive dollars. Probably not half
of those who have token this money (?) see the
point of the joke. I invested five cents in a pro
mise of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad to
pay ten cents in freight or passage to the bearer.
Nothing has impsamil ma sa rokAhir with the des
perate shifts to which the South is redacted as
seeing all these prisoners with their pockets
crammed with this stuff. I went through the
llaturoptall war" in iiiinota, and thought that was
bad enough, when I could buy a cigar and a two
dollar bill for a dollar ; but wild-eat banks maynow
hide their diminished heads For rap, commend
me to the Southern Gonroderaoy. Is not this a
beautiful illustration. of the fitness of things?
Since Cotton is Ring, what more appropriate foun
dation could bis throne have than rags ? Socesh is
rapidly progressing towards the absolute nudity of
genuine barbarism. Rags, and poor ones at that,
are all that bide their nakedness.
The troops in the Department of West Tennessee
are largely composed of raw troops. Ralf a dozen
of the regiments that fought at Fort Danelson were
the very last that had been organized. I recollect
two that went directly from Camp Douglas, in Chi
cago, when they had hardly been drilled at all,
and had never had muskets in their hands, to the
battle field ; and such also was the case with seve
ral of the regiments at this battle. They have
been kept on the move ever since they have been
in service, and they are lac]; in; in camp discipline.
For this reason a series of orders have been pro
mulgated, which will undoubtedly prove in their
operation very irksome to these new and roving
blades, who have been so much in the habit of ha
ving everything their OWn Way, but Which will ef.
feet a change, which is very material, and has long
been needed. General Grant, though prompt and
energetic in action, lacks, I imagine, in administra
tive ability, and never has given that attention to
the discipline of his troops that is really necessary.
He never " puts on style" himself, but rides about
just as be happens to be with or without a sword,
orderly uniform, or any other thing that is generally
deemed a sine qua non, and which certain other
generals are sure to have on all occasions. He lost
his sword in the late battle. A shot hit the scab
bard, and turned it wrong end up, and the sword
dropped out. As he was immediately under the
Sre of a battery but a short distance off, he thought
it hardly Worth while to atop and pink it up, and I
don't believe he would ever have bought another if
he had not bad one presented to him by General
hleClernand. I will wager that he is the only ma
jor general is the army who hue not a major gene
ral's shoulder-straps. All these things, though sig
nificant of a modesty and unassuming disposition,
which is most engaging in private life, also indicates
a disregard of routine, which is not a desirable
quality in a military man. General lialleok has
added a new olaim to our confidence by
the Tory thorough manner in which he has
gone into this matter of discipline. As
an instance of it I may state that a brigadier
general and a colonel were placed under arrest for
directing their orderlies to discharge their pistols,
when they knew that strict orders had been given
against the discharging of firearms in the camp.
Even the grand guards and old guards are obliged
to draw their charges. AU the ceremonies of
tattoo, retreat, and reveille, are rigidly observed,
and even commissioned offioers are obliged to have
their lights out at half past eight. The landing 1*
rigidly guarded, anti all stragglers kept under a
strict surveillance.
Yesterday the whole of Buell's corps, and to-day
the principal part of Grant's, moved forward their
camps from two to four miles. Our front line is
advanced substan , ially about five miles. A recon
noissance was made today by about 1,000 infan
try, 000 cavalry, and two pieces of artillery. The
enemy were met about five miles from our pick
ets They "skedaddled" as aeon as they saw
us, and left their camp to our tender mercies. It
was apparently a brigade encampment, as tents
enough to accommodate about two thousand men
were burned, and twenty or thirty barrels of
beef, together with some forage and numerous
other articles. The scouts reported three regiT
ments drawn up in line on the other side of the
ridge, called Pea Ridge, but when we advanced
we could see nothing of them, and our men re
turned disgusted. The country Old in that dirco.
Lion is similar to that where we now are, rolling
and timbered, but with larger cleared fields and
longer range for artillery. The reconnoissance was
made directly out on the PiiSNIT road, end the rood
is better than any we have yet seen, being along
the top of a gravelly ridge. The enemy will not
be likely again to come this aide of Pea Ridge.
Our army is ready for them at any time they
choose to attack us, should they venture on such a
piece of temerity, which is not likely. In the
camp were found the usual assortment of letters,
calling the Yankees bard names, and stating that
they were going to advance, but these seldom
amount to anything. We took about fifty prison
ers, some of whom say they are going to advance,
and others that they are fortifying at Corinth,
while others still, say they are sending troops
South. CASCO.
Letter from Parson Brownlow—The

Editor of the Philadelphia Press
SIB: I desire to publish in your widely circulated
journal a brief mud, and I request your other city papers

to the Confederacy !"

in which to leave the Confederacy, leaving their houses
and furniture behind, and meaning with a portion or
their vreeriPg APPerel , Vtlarchwell, who twined this
mendacious order, no doubt took great pleasure in doing
to. His hatred of Adr. Maynald's family grows out of
May nerd's having beaten him two thousand votes la that
district, In a contest for the United States Congress. lite
hatred for my wan t and five boleros girl-children, grows
out of my having convicted him of falsehood and dis
honesty, in a court of justice, in a certain bank suit and
huge swindle, I brought against him. Ho ought now to

Through various deaths my soul hath
Hee shown noon the darkened hour,
Has lifted up my sinking head."
Every member of my family. old ohmich to aynieolate
the horrors of thin infernal rebellion, despise e the se-called
Confederacy and the unprincipled villains who inaugu
rated it. The only difference between me and them is,
that I claim to be capable of deepiming the winked aein
tern, and all connected with originating it, with more
intense hatred than they can. But, then, I have trained
them up "In the nurture arid admonition of the Lord,"
which implies obedience to law and order, and an nu.
dying hatred of ifeeentlOP and ite alibi Anthers.
The work of murder, arrests, and imprisonments, goes
bravely on in East Tennessee, as my family inform me,
who left Knoxville the latter part of Met week_ They
were shooting Union men down in the streete, arresting
hundreds, and shooting down fifty or sixty, in one in-
Mance, after they had surrendered and were under an
smut. bet marched between three and four hundred
through the streets, with tome of them bare-footed, and
their feet bleeding, taking them to the depot and shipping
them to Atlanta, Georgia, to work upon their fortiflca
tiot a. These men, denied water, would lift
out of mud
puddles in the streets, with their hands, after a rain,
wird they could to quench their thirst.
In God's name, I call upon President Lincoln, and
PPR WS Valduct and army officers, to say how long they
will suffer a loyal people, tine to the Union and to the
Government of their fathers. to suffe'r in this way ? The
UniOri men of East Tennessee are largely in the majority,
nay three to one, but they have no arms i they are in the
jells of the country i they are working on rebel formica=
tions, like slavee under the lash, and no Federal force
has ever yet been marched into that oppressed and down
trodden country. Let the Government, if it have any
e 4 elinstione, redeem that country at OnCei
and liberate theer people, no matter at what cost of blood
and treasure. They have euffered these outrages for the
last twelvo months, arid are now desponding, nay de
spairlas of any relief.
Let an army, a terrible army, with banners," go at
once into East Tennessee, and back up the loyal citizens,
a bile the latter shoot and hang their persecutors, wher
ever they can Odd Shelll, I want the army to serve for
me, as a forerunner, a sort of John the Baptist in the
wilderness, so that I may go back with a new press
type, and paper, and resurrect my Union journal, and tell
one llemdreA illoosend Flib3CrtberS, weekly, what is going
on upon the borders f civilization.
In conclusion, I return my most sincere thanks, and
the thanks and gratitude of my persecuted family, to
Lieutenant Apee.), the rebel officer who had them in
charge, for the kind, courteous, and gentlemanlike treat
ment they received at his hands, in protecting them
against the insults of Secession blackguards, seeing after
their baggage, and turning them over to General Wool,
at Fortress Monroe. The gentlemanly instincts of a
Whig and a Methodist bare not been crushed out in this
true-hearted Virginian, by the incurable disease or Se

THE SIEGE OF YORKTOWN.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY'S OPERATIONS.
HEAVY CANNONADING.
Each day's history of the operations here, at present,
.... - ,-petision of tlagby yftdcl7 preceded it, 00011tiffltILI
the 6ring is heavier than at others; sometimes an nn.
lucky private win king in the trenches has an arm or leg
taken off, or comes to big death by reason of the enemy's
ampoittnes s °hall acreama peat a major
or brigadier general's ear, and harmlessly explodes in an
open field beyond ; but these are the greatest variations
which the programme of the siege has thus far offered.
Of the grand china we eball probably know more by the
end of the week than at present.
Thursday
Today the rebels have again shelled our working par
ties; but though at intervals the firing wag heavy and
clone, and the workiog parties had numerous manes!, no
serious casualties are reported. The gaiety with which
our works have been carried forward is here held to be
the amadept proof of the skill with which they have
been designed and prosecuted by General McClellan.
Mat of the works are masked or so located that it is
impossible for the enemy, with the means of observation
in their possession, to discover their position. dome
points are meessarily somewhat exposed, and against
lbw the rebt M direct their guns with an animation that
snows they are alive to the semicircle of fire within
which they are being surrounded. The most fre Luent
fear expressed here is tnat the enemy will finally evacuate
their present stronghold and fail back to other defensive
lines. It is difficult, however, to see the policy of such a
stratagem_ Tbsy fight somewhere, and nowhere
between this and Richmond could they find a safe po-
Lipton, if unable to detend that they now hold. Beside,
retreat in the face of the army now so immediately in
their frnnt. would be a dangerous movement, and its
effect, even if accomplebed without serious loss, almost
equal to a Wear in the demoralizing effect en their
troops.
The reports from the outworks and trenches all speak
well of the behavior of the men in the poets of exposure
which they now occupy. Berhislaft if anything, they are
+OO eeeh, and neglect those necessary precautions for
safety which the experienced soldier observes without
derogation to his bravery.
The cm respondeet of the Baltimore American says
that the country beyond Wormsle) 's Creek, which de
bouches P oon osin Bey, about two ruhea below York
town, and runs irregularly in the rear of that village, is
singularly suited for the advance of siege operations, and
it seems surprising that the right bank of that stream
was not strongly held by the enemy. The country has
also 1119219 aspects of rural seamy, and within a mite Of
the enemy's outworks I rested yesterday in a deep little
dell, where the birds were singing, the flowers blooming,
and everything spoke of quiet and peace until the rebel
batteries opened, and a shell, shrieking and whistling
through the air, aroused ins from a rowels, and eog
ogled the forcible entreat between the surroundings of
nature and the stern realities of war.
In the vicinity of this creek one first begins to properly
appreciate the work our army has accomplished, and it
le almost imposeible to believe that all that is seen here
has been done in three weds from last Tuesday, when
the rebels were first driven behind these lines of en
trenchments. Roads have been opened to the creek from
every direction, and at every few hundred yards well
goniittocttd bridges span its waters. Em.ond the creek
a vest amount of military engineering, the finest perhaps
that the world ever saw, has been completed. I do not
know that I could tell Hoyt) lug that could help the
enemy, but I retrain from describing even what I have
seen, and content niTarlf with saying that the time is
past when the rebels could prevent or even seriously re
tard the advance of our works.
In this respect, indeed, their apathy has been remark
able, and it is out of their failure to dispute stoutly and
determinedly the possession of the greomt pf tin, Warn
importance to us, that the Ocher has grown that they dO
not seriously intend to hold Yorktown. Be this as It
may, they cannot now make sorties without the greatest
risk, and at much disadvantage, and will have to remain
behind their fortifications, with little clpacity to retard
tut steady approaches toward them. It ooh do no harm
to Say that one of our works is within eleven hundred
yards of the enemy's lines. The enemy know this per
fectly well, as they have shelled the position every day
since Monday last. Our men. however, are so well pro
tected that butfew casualtinahava so far occurred, theuett
certainly not leas then 200 shot and shell have been thrown
at them. Beyond this a plain hardly larger than a good
sized field slopes down, in.d then rides gently up to the
heights of Yorktown. In advance of this work our
afirPth4OtiTa lie concealed, whilst the enemy's marks.
men occupy eimilar positions in advance of their own
lines. These Merl fire to kill : they throw away no shots.
fometimes an hour will elapse without a single shot, then
an opportunity offers, a sharp crack is heard, and some
body is either killed or wounded. The enemy's min
work is beauttruny masked, and the stories some re
porters sent from here of the effect of our shots and the
rebels being seen carrying off the wounded and dead on
stretchers are generally mere sensation talk. We have
done some good firing and it is presumed killed some of
the foe, but we cannot see inside of their works aiky More
than they can see inside of ours.
The camp of the Berdan Sharpshooters is one of the
best kept and most tasty in the army. A. rural arch,
thirty feet high, and constructed with great taste, is
thrown across the avenue leading to the Colonel's quar
ters, and a similar arch gives entrance to each company
street. The grounds inside the camp are ornamented
with walks and pine shrubbery, and neatness and cleanli
ness prevail. The men of the regiment are an interest
ing study. They drill but little, would hardly gain dis
tinction In a dress parade, but ono can pick out among
them many keen, bright eyes and sharp, determined
faces, which show the characteristics of the real, nature.

Friday.
The firing Met night was about as usual. The rebels
opened on our %roiling isattlak &rid Wd !evlSed. This

hm
dren pound Parrott gum make a terrible racket. Their
explosion reverberates like a startling thunder clap, and
the shot and shell thrown from them mato a noise half
shriek, half wail, that no combination of letters can ade
quately describe. The principal rebel guns aye killed
sixty-eights, but they have one gun of immense calibre
and of great range. Our grinners are concentrating their
fire on it, and it is believed that it will not long be of
service to the enemy.
Thumb thin fort of cannonading will probably increase
from day to day, there is no expectation that the grand
attack will be mute fo.: some tline—say eight or ten days.
