FROM EAST TENNESSEE.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin]
Knoxville, Feb. 22. —Political.discussion is
growing rife here, in view of the coming elec
tion. It is feared that Governor Johnson’s
test oath will cause many Union men to stay
from the polls, who deny his right to impose
it. Knox county and a good part of East Ten
nessee will be rid of the rebels by the first Sa
turday in llarch.
The railroad bridge at London is progressing
at the rate of one hundred feet per day, and
will probably pass trains over on the fifth of
March.
General Stoneman made a reconnoissance in
force to-day, fourteen miles on the Sevierville
road, and returned without finding the enemy.
Hood’s division, commanded by Jennings,
has crossed the river at Strawberry Plains. The
rebel artillery has begun to cross, and a few
Biege guns are already over. They have em
ployed from 100 to 150 men daily on the rail
road bridges, which it is thought, they can
complete in two or three weeks.
All our men on active duty are now receiv
ing full rations of meat and bread; others half
rations of bread. Clothing has arrived, or is
on the way from Nashville, sufficient to clothe
the men. >
Very few deserters come in now.
SERIOUS AFFAIR IN OHIO.
[Special Despatch to the Bulletin. ]
Cincinnati, Feb. 24 The unfortunate col
lision between members of the 17th Ohio Regi
ment and citizens of Lancaster, Ohio, proves to
have been a serious affair. The circumstances
are briefly these. The soldiers were assem
bling in Lancaster, preparatory to leaving for
Camp Dennison. The conversation turned on
the war, during which the loyalty and disloy
alty of certain citizens were pretty freely
ventilated.
An old man named Zee, the keeper of a sa
loon, seated himself at a window where he could 1
hear the conversation, having previously armed
himself with a revolver. About 10 o’clock in
the evening a soldier, by - the name of
Little, turned to Zee’s son' and re
marked, “George, I understand you have
become a Copperhead.” The young
man resented this, and turning sharply upon
Little, the latter thrust him aside with his fist,
whereupon Zee drew his revolver and shot Lit
tle through the heart. The soldiers] immedi
ately collected around their fallen comrade,
when old Zee again fired his revolver into the
crowd, the shot taking effect in the hip of a
young man named Michael, who died on Sun
day afternoon. J
. The murderer and his son escaped. The
soldiers were much exasperated jat the
murder of their comrade, and threatened
to hum the town. Colonel Durbin- Ward,
their commanding officer, although par
tially . disabled by his wounded arm,
rushed in among his infuriated men and pleaded
with and commanded them to desist from their
purpose. He succeeded partially in his efforts,
but the soldiers demolished the saloon and
scattered in search of old Zee and his sons
scouring the town and vicinity. i
About two o’clock on Sunday morning they
found young Zee lurking in the outskirts of
the town, and brought him into Market House.'
Square, where they assaulted and beat him
almost to a jelly. Colonel Ward again rushed
into the crowd and rescued Zee from the
soldiers and had him taken to the house of a
surgeon, and stood guard over him.while his
wounds were being dressed.
In a speech to the soldiers, Col. Ward told
them he waß informed that persons of- Boone
county, an entirely Copperhead district, .had
armed themselves and were coming into Lan
caster; whereupon the soldiers rushed to the
mrnory for guns, took possession of the court
house and barricaded it, but nothing came of
the rumor.

that the valley of the Canadian river and its
tributaries are clear of rebels, and that the up
per Seminole country has been entirely swept,
so that all rebel supplies for a movement on

taw Legislature a few days ago, and advised
the Indians to return home and raise crops.

A Revolutionary Relic. —Brig-Gen. I. J.
Wistar yesterday presented to Mayor Henry a
large shell. This war missile was found bnried
about six feet under the entrenchments at York
town, and is supposed to have been one of those
used by Loid Cornwallis during the revolutionary
war. It was certainly there previous to the out
break of the rebellion, as it differs iusize and shape
from any shells which have been in use for years
past. This interesting relic is to be placed in In
dependence Hall. There were other shells and
pieces of shells found at the same time, hut this
one was secured by Gen. Wisiar. to be placed
among the other relics of “the days that tned
men’s souls.* *

Recruiting is going on briskly, and altoough no
official report of the number of men mustered into
service has beenmade since the;6th inst., enough
is known to show that the enlistments are largely
on the increase. Those who desire to avail them
selves of the liberal bounties offered by the Go
vernment for volunteers should remember that all
such bountie.s cease on the Ist proximo.
Spring Weather. —For several days past
the weather has had more the appearance of May
than February. The atmosphere bas been so mild
that overcoats have become decidedly uncomfor
table during the day, and some of the trees in the

adage that March comes in like a lamb and goes
out like a lion, bids fair to be fully realized this
year. These beautiful days bring outthe ladies in
full force, and Chestnut street presents an exceed
ingly gay appearance every afternoon.
Among the Visitors at the Corn Exchange,
this morning, was Gen. J. Kmpe, of the Red Star
Division, 12th Army Corps, and Col. Joseph L.

FINANCE AND BUSIN ESI
The popular current of speculation continues in
Stocks with a force and vigor shat astonishes the
oldest operators, and so loßg as the present plethora
of money continues, no abatemjent front the present
active etate of affairs can be confidently looked for,
It would be a waste of time and Bpace to attempt
to give the fluctuations in everything on the list,
but it must be apparent to the most casual observer
that a majority of the trading community are en
gaged in speculation in stocks, and that the mania
for this sort of business is rapidly spreading.
Government, State and City Loans were held with
great confidence. The Five-Twenty Loan sold to
some extent at 107. State Fiveß were firm at 95,

We have' learned not to be astonished at any.
thing. Tears of experience and a correspondence
extending throughout all nationalities of the ha
bitable globe have turned theories Into Acts and
established a basis from which we need not err.
We are not surprised at such Acts as the follow
ing—although the person, who write . them are.
We know the persons and circumstances, hence
feel at liberty to endorse their statements :
“New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24, 1863.
Dele Sir- I have beenaffiictedmany years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limns, cold feet
axd hands, and a genera! disordered system. Phy
sicians and medicines filled to relieve me. While
visiting some friends in New York who were ..ing
Plantation Bitters they prevailed upon me to tnr
them. I commenced with a small wine glassful
a ter dinner, tee ing better by degrees, in a few
days 1 was astonished to find the coldness and
cramps had entirely left me, and I could sleep the
nlgbt thiough, which I have not done for years I
feel like another being. My appetite and strength
have also greatly improved by the ns. of the Plan
tation Bitters. Respectfully,
JUDITH RUSSEL.”
‘ ‘Reedsbuet, Wls., Sept; 16,' 1883.
* * • I have been m the army hospitals for
fourteen months—speechless and nearly dead. At
Alton, HI., they gave me a bottle of Plantation
Bitters ** * Three bottles restored my speech
and cured me. * * * *
The following Is from the Manager of the Unicn
Home School for the Children of Volunteers;
Mahsioh, Ffty-seventh street, >
New York, August s, 1563. _>
Dr. Drake: Your wonderful Plantation Bit*
tere have been given to some of our little children
suffering from weakness and weak lungs with
most happy effect. One little girl, in particular,
with pains in her head, loss of appetite, and daily
wasting consumption, on whom all medical skill
had been exhausted, has been entirely restored.
We commenced with bnt a teaspoonful of Bitters
a day. Her appetite and strength rapidly in*
creased,_snd she is now well.
Bespectmlly, MBS. O. M. DEYOE.”

greatly benefited by their nse. .

me of liver complaint, of which I was laid up
prostrate and had to abandon my business.

The Plantation Bitters mate the weak strong,
the languid brilliant, and are exhausted nature’s
great restorer. They are composed of the cele
orated Calisaya Bark, Wintergreen, Sassafras,
Boots, Herbs, Ac., all preserved in perfectly pure
St. Croix Bum.

Persens of sedentary habits troubled with weak
ness, lassitude, palpitation of the heart, lack of
appetite, distress after eating, torpid liver, con
stipation, Ac., deserve to suffer if they will not
try them. •
They are recommended by the highest ; medical
authorities, and are warranted to produce an fat
mediate beneficial effect. They are exceedingly
agreeable, perfectly pure and harmless.
Notice— Any person pretending to sell Plantar ’
