Ceorreeponarnce or Th. erne ,3 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 Southern Confederacy, 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 copy. I consider that the Petersburg Express, in announcing the arrival in that ally of my wit. ..A chil dren, and the wife and children of the Hon. Horace May nard, has mendaciously aesailed the reputations and pa triotism of these ladies, in stating, "that though the heels Bode ban ()rimed an unaccountable hostility re thb south and its cause, they (the ladies) are firmly attached to the Confederacy !" There Is not one word of truth in this statement, un- WI it in alleged that the home. and firesides of thee. ladles, in Knoxville, from which they have been uncere moniously expelled by an insolent order of the command ing general, constitute the Confederacy. The order was issued to these families by William N. Churchwell. pro volt marshal at Knoxville, giving them thirty-six houre 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.

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 cet.aion i and, whatever may betide biro In Q. ups anti downs of this unholy war, be will have my good wishes, ant the good w ishes of my family.

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. made sharpshooters.

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.
