THE NEWS
We have exciting news from East Tennessee.
Parson Brownlow has found 'it necessary to
leave Knoxville, and sends a despatch to Cin
cinnati stating that fighting was in progress
"all about Knoxville." A despatch from Gen.
Burnside himself, conveys the idea that. every
thing was giong well with us and that ultimate
victory was certain. It is quiet probable that
a heavy battle haq been fought at Knoxville,
and the seige of that city is now going on.
As the place is fortified to some extent it is be
lieved that the Rebels will not he able to dis
lodire'out: forces without great loss and proba
bly defeat. The latest rePOrts by mail say that
General Burnside 'and Hartsuit Were concen
trating their forces to resist the advance of
General Longstreet.
Knoxville, Tenn., Nov. 9,1863:—The facts
touching, the affair at Rogersville are these :--
The Rebels, under Gen. Williams, on Fri.
day` last, surprised the camp of the SecondTen
nessie Infantry and the Seventh Ohio Cavalry.,
nearßogersville, at daYlight. A' panic ensued.
TheiScdand Tenneisee made a 'stand, and 000
were captured. The Seventh Ohio abandoned
the ground and fled to Morristown, in a state
of utter demoralization. The 'latter lost 200
prisoners, making a total of 800 men lost.
The Illinois Battery lost four guns. Much
sympathy is felt for Col. Garrard, of the
Seventh Ohio, who did his best to rally . his
Men; hut the'y got sci long, a start of their com
mander, he could not overtake thein.
Geadral Burnside intends to dismount the
regiment, and give — then:l' Some 'exercise as in
fantry. The greatest mortification is felt at
this faux pas. The Rebels;after their Success,
ran tine way, and our troops' ran the other. At
last 'account 'all waa quiet, the Retre6 having
fallen back to Meceasin 'Gap, the same point to
which Col. Gatrdrd had driven the same party

Singular Case in Montreal.
A singularly dangerous and unlawful act
was recently perpetrated in this city, by which
a British - subject was in broad day light, in
one of the most public streets, seized without
warrant or authority, and by threatxof Pee
sonal injury, by means of loaded sticks in the
hands of ruffianly kidnappers, force.d into a cab
and driven rapidly'to the St. Lanibert wharf,
conveyed on board the ferry.boat, thence into
the cars, hurled' of with railtoad speed to the
United• States. The victim of this high hand
ed act is W. J . ' Louis Redpath.i British sub
ject: foimelry a resident of New York, and re
cently employed in the' commercial Agency of
this city. In the cab and in - the boat the kid
riappers cautioned Redpath against maki ng any
noise, shoWing him as their warrant a letter
'purporting to be signed by- Mr. Giddings,
American Consul-General, - authcirizing them
to apprehend two men, -named 'respectively
Louis and Burke, and convey them to the
States, •• promising that all their resbna'ule ex
pertsbs' would be paid on reaching New - York
On arriving at Burlington, he was taken be.
tore the sheriff, who said, on'being showing the
warrant signed - "Giddings," that he thOtight
they had no right• to detain Redpath. •
They confined him in jail at Burlington for
a day or over, and afterwards took hint to New
York, where he was conveyed to head quarters
and - locked' up for the night. While in,the,
cell an officer asked, Redpath to sign a paper,
setting forth that helad accompanied Jones to
New York of his own accord, and wtitild`not
hold him responsible in any way, on which con
dition only would he be liberated. ltedpath re
fused and was locked up for another night, being
refused permission to sec or communicate with
his friends. A lawyer was permitted to visit
him by promising to use his influence to oh
tain Redpath's signatuie to the paper. He in
formed the latter that as the writ of habeas
corpus was suspended, the only thing he could
do, if he must have his liberty, was to sign the
document in question. Redpath, who is con
sumptive, and had suffered from confinement,
was obliged to consent. to save his life, and on
being conveyed to the office of the Chief of
the detective force, signed the paper, and was
discharged on Thursday. Redpath remained
a short time in New York with his friends, and
returned here on Saturday night.—From the
Montreal Herald, Nov. 11.
Very sad, but sadly true, is the following,
fearful incident, which occurred not long since
at a cemetery not far distant from Wheeling,
Theodore, a bright boy of thirteen, had
died. • His brOther, Hanson, but five years of
age, seemed to , regard his death as a common.
place affair, and'all attempts to rouse him up
to a consciousness or seriousness on the subjell
were vain. He seemed. unchanged—unmoved.
.The funeral 'Cortege reached the grave ; the
solemn burial services were read ; and the old
sexton commenced- the work of covering the
remains-, but•no sootier had the first lump of
clay fallen upon the sounding box than little
Hans, who stood regarding the impressive ser
vices without a sign of emotion, suddenly
raised himself to his full height and, with
clinched hands and- a look' of defiance that
seemed fearful,'he exclaimed, in a shrill voice
arresting: instantly the' attention of all. "Old
mail, stop I I'll kill you if you cover my broth
er in tliat dark hole l" and, with a wild mniac
seem that sounded piercingly mournful,
he fell motionless to the earth. The great
deep of many'hearts was broken up, and tears
felP like rain drops.

Rebel Deserters.—A great many 'rebel deser

tst of October. Ragged,' tired, Worn out, and dis
appointed and deceived, these. men came across the
Potomac. and gave themselves up to the Federal
authorities. It is not long since, as we were in
formed, that a squad of about twenty rebel cavalry,
mounted and with all their. equipments, came into
Hagerstown, and gave themselves.up. At first, as
they rode furiously, the citizens were s,omewbatuit
cited, thinking it was the advance party of another
set, of . .This -is the way we want them to
come back into the old Union—surrendering them
selves and All their arms, acknowledging
_their er
rors, and swearing allegiance to the United States.
Since the above was written, a small squad of
seven of these deserters, were taken through to
Chatubersburg, under a guard of two Connecticut
soldiers. Thi:v party Were from Viaginia, and had
been itnpressed into the rebel servicebout two
a ,
months ago, under the last cOnscription Act. ' They
belonged to IMBODEN's gang. They Came into our
lines ten days ago.

from Dr Boardmatt's `• Selection of Hymns," is
admirably adapted for the services of the approach

Bounteous Source of every joy,
Let. thy praise our tongues employ; -
All to thee. 0 God, we owe, •
Source whence all.our li4Ssings flow,
All the blessings of the fields,,
All the stores the garden yields,
Flcieks that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain:
Lord, for: these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
Clouds that drop their fattening dews,
Suns that genial warmthdiffuse,
All the plenty summer pours,
Autumn's rich, o'erilowincr stores;
Lord, for this our souls shall raise
Grateful yews and solemn praise.
Peace, prosperity, and health,
Private bliss, and public wealth,
Knowledge, with its gladdening streams,
Pure religion'=s holier beams.

Tobacco.-4n-sone:of the eastern and western
States, tobacco raising has been engaged in pretty
extensively for a..number of years. Since the com
mencement of the present war, more attention has
been paid to tobacco culture than formerly. It now
pays magnificently- Tha tobacco crop of Lancas
ter county, Pennsylvania, will amount the present
yenr, to over half a million of dollars. It is there
cultivated in several patches of from one . to three
•
acres upon each farm.

was made last season..- ,

lEe prep:met} about two acres and half
ground, upon the farm of Mr. J. B. WiTn i . :! .,
mile east of town on the Brown's Mill road i n , l
beginning of June last he set out his plan,
square rows, the hills being three and
apart. The plants consisted of the followi ng
'
cries. viz : Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Virgini a „ ri
Havana. The tops were frequently cut off so
as
allow the leaves to grow large. The labor
ed in hoeing. etc., was equal to the daily l a b or
6 ,
two persons during the three months or more of 16 .
tobacco season. The first crop was cut ofT
ground in the latter part of August; and when
dr r
it will make about 4000 lbs. The tobacco is of v er ,
good quality.
The second crop was easily worked, and lurnq
out tolerably well. The whole, however, m i l e
eral hundred pounds. Seasons when the frost.: d o
not come early, the second crop can be made to p ar
considerably more than the expenses incurred in
working both crops.
From the foregoing, it will be seen that rai s i 3 ,
tobacco in this county will pay. Other and larg e .
experiments will be mnde next summer.
We will be pleased to bear from any of our red,
era on this subject..
Caught at Last.—Jos HOOKER, the sharpest,
boldest and most notorious horse thief ever known
in these parts, has been caught at last. We better,
he Was arrested at his house in Frederick. Md.,
whither his family moved last winter, after his Pt_
pose here. He is believed to be the head of t h,
gang who have stolen so many horses in this neigh.
horhood during the past. four months. Ile will Fr
lodged in the Chambershurg jail. Farmers shnuil
not. relax their vigilance, for doubtless his aeo n .
plices will *continue this nefarious business, li e
hope the whole party may be caught.
Since the foregoing was written, we hare Fen
one of the party who made Ironicstit's arrest. F.-
some time it. has been believed that most of th,
horses stolen, were concealed for a while in sou,
out of the way place on the mountain. and fri:r:
thence sent- into the Washington city market, alma
good opportunity was presented. On last. Tuesday
afternoon four young men, (one from the town and
three from the township,) set out to institute
search on South Mountain. After a hunt of sever.
al hourS they found their labor 'was fruitless. They
then proceeded to Frederick city, Md., whither
iloowrat's family moved last winter after his rip , .
here. By Cautious inquiry, and by resort to r.
stratagem which it suits not to put in print, they
learned where he lived, and further—that he was:
home. On Wednesday evening they. with a coup , t
of police officers, surrounded the house; three
them entered. and went up stairs to a dark mo at ,
which the robber-chief usually occupied. and fere.
ing the door open, arrested him after a slight re•
sistance on his part. Afier a 'tearing before F ,
Magistrate, he was committed to the Frederick
County prison, there to await. the proper requisi
tion from the authorities of this State.
It was ascertained, too, where his horses were
supposed to be concealed. That night., the party
of four, proceeded to a farm six miles from Fred
crick. After in search through the stables, a horse
stolen front Mr. DETRICO ten days before. Wh;
-found and identified. The farmer objected to the
proceedings. Next morning lie was arrested, to.d
gave bail for his appearance at ::ourt.
Fourteen horse% awl three mules were found in
the stables. It wa'S supposed that four hOrget,
could do' all'the'Work: on th'S'larrn. Whether this
man was fulljt aware of llottiKart's character aml
business, remains to be proven before court. We
are nortikprepared to give judgment.
Great credit is due our young men for ferretin ,,
out this business. The reward offered, we think,
should be paid them, and in addition, a sail:1111k
testimonial from the owners of horses. One a
them has incurred great, personal risk.
