We see in the Cleveland Banner
of the 7U1 that a battle was reported
as going on between Gen. Stcph
erisonV; brigade and about 4,000
Federals on Clinch river, since
which we have learned, from a ie
Hable source, a confirmation of the
rumor, and that it was quite an im
portant alFair, and, so far as heard
from, decidedly in our favor. We
will await further particulars of
this flank movement of Gen. Steph
en?on before giving all that is cur
rent on the street. The Mobile pa
pers have telegrams in t elation to
it, but we cannot understand how
they are permitted to receive war
intelligence from this section of
Tennessee before either the Knox
ville or Chattanooga papers.
Aldehokf's Institute The
third (scholastic year of this admir
ably conceived and well conducted
school commences on the second
Monday in next month. The prin
cipal, Mr. H. W. Von Aldehofl, is
widely known as one of the first
teachers in the South, his success
heretofore being the best test of his
merit. The fact that the school has
successfully maintained itself in the
general wreck of similar institutions
caused by the war, is additional
evidence of it excellence.

A special dispatch from Rich

states that Gens. Buckner, Tilgman,
Mackall and Pettygnnv have ar
rived in Richmond, together with
several other officers of lower
grade.
Malvern Hill Re-occupied
by the Federals. The special
correspondent of the Atlanta Intell
igencer, telegraphs that paper from
Richmond that the Federals had
succeeded in wresting Malvern
Hill from the Confederates owing
to the weakness of our pickets at
that point. This gives the enemy
command of the James river for ten
mile above their late position.
Key Pr. Qulntard.
We had the pleasure of meeting
this estimable gentleman in our
city yesterday. We understand that
he has resigned his position on the
staff of Gen. Loring, now in Vir
ginia, and returned to Tennessee
for the purpose of resuming his
former relation to the 1st Regiment
of Tennessee volunteers. His re
turn will be the occasion of general
rejoicing among our gallant Ten
nessee troops. No man has been
more self-sacrificing in his efforts to
be useful, and no one is more uni
versally beloved in this portion of
the army with which he lias been
connected. The services of such a
man are invaluable to the country.
Moid Deserters.
A gentleman from Cumberland
Mountain yesterday brought in
three Yankee prisoners who had
delivered themselves up to hiru, and
requested to be delivered to the
military authorities. They aiefrom
a Kentucky regiment, and represent
that there arc hundieds ol ' heir
comrades who will desert on ihe
first opportunity, and say that the
whole Yankee army is at present
in a very demoralized condition,
sick and tired of the war. Two of
them had on citizens' clothes, the
other was in uniform, but they all
told the gentleman who a.nd what
they were. On being askod where
they got citizens' clothe"', they re
plied from two disc lunged soldiers,
which goes to show that the dis
charged Yankee soldiers are not
only glad to get out of tic :,uicc,
but are disposed to assi-t a iyone
else who desires to leave, no matter
if it is r.s deserters. They alsi state
that bitter feeling exists between
the troops of Kentucky and those
of the abolition States, growing out
of the emancipation and abolition
policy of the Yankee govern neut.
So strong is this feeling growing
lhat it is with difficulty lhc'( Ken

GUNTERSVILLE. July 30, '()2.
Mr. Williams; Dear Sir We
had quite an exciting time here on
Monday, 29th inst. The Yankees
arriving in force of some 1,000,
consisting of cavalry, infantry and
artillery, on the evening of the 27th,
commenced early Monday morning
shelling the town, which they con
tinued all day. I regret to say the
wife of Gen. S. K. Ray burn was
killed by a shell. Mrs. R, was a
most estimable lady. Mr. McNairy,
a gentleman from Nashville, who
was accompanying his mother, an
aged and deerepid lady was also
killed. Mr, Ik Matthews was
slightly wounded. Several buildings
were burnt on tho bank of the liver
and the shells passed through seve
ral buildings in town about three
miles from the river. They com
menced shelling the town without
any notice. They left the lhcr
during mouday night, but are still
on the north side of the river not
far off. Your obedient servant.
N.
The Mr. McNahy mentioned
above is Henry ('lay McNairy, son
of the late Dt P.ovd McNairy, of
Nashville, and brother of Major
Frank McNairs, aid to Maj. Gen.
Cheatham.
Where ai the Voan I'eimesM'atis!
Mr. Editor: I deshe to en
quire ol' you whether you can tell
the public where all the oung and
ardent Tennesse:'ns are who are re
port to be on the line of railroad
from this pi, ice to Atlanta what
are they doing? are they waiting
.for other men to fight the battles
and open the way to their homes
and lamilies, while they arc pleasure-taking
at the diilerent towns
and watering-places of the country !
1 f IhLs be ti ne, it is a shame, and
their checks should be mantled with
a deej) blush of disgrace to be thus
idle while the country needs their
services so much. 1 ho Govemor
calls for a Tennessee State force,
and each of these young bloods
should report themselves for duty
without delay. Keep them stirred
up until they act their proper part
in this great struggle. S.
The Washington papers publish
the following proclamation from
Lincoln :
JJV THE PRESIDENT OK THE UNITED
S';VliiO Or A.MiiKJ.,A A n- jc.J-.a-MATION.
In pursuance of the sixth section
of the act of Congress, entitled "An
act to suppress insurrection, to pun
ish treason and rcbell'on, to siee
and confiscate the property of reb
els, and for other purposes," ap
proved July 17, 1862, and which act
and the joint resolution explanatory
thereof are herewith published,!,
Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, do hereby proclaim
to and warn r.ii persons within the
contemplation of said sixth section
to cease participating in, aiding,
countenancing, or abetting the ex
isting rebellion, or any rebellion,
against the Government of the
United States, and to return to their
proper allegiance to the States, on
pain of the forfeitures and siezures
as within and by said sixth section
provided.
In testimony whereof I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal of the United States to be
affixed.

Mobile, Ala., has subscribed,
through her citizens and Council,
$17,000 for the benefit of the sick
and wounded soldiers.
No less than So,ooo pounds of

The correspondent of the New
York Fx press furnishes that paper
with a long letter from Harrison's
Landing, from which we make a
few selections:
what he says aiiout con ii'. der
ate SOLDIERS.
The men were exceedingly in
telligent in their looks, and ery
pleasant in their conversation.
When a large crowd left the boat
to gather "relics" upon the shore,
they managed to get cntangh d with
the secctdi, and foi some minute
quite a scene was in progress. Roth
sides were good Immorcd. asked
and answered questions, and dis
cussed tho question of secession.
The rebels used old logic, while our
people fell back' on prist glory, the
flag, etc., the whole discussion re
sulting in an agreement to disagree,
of course. The Federal guards were
obliged to interfere, and sent the
boat's party back, much to the re
gie t of not a few, who seemed per
fectly fascinated at the sight of .1
real, live gray-backed rebel.
NO UNION SENTIMENT I REREL
ARMY.
To sum this whole visit up. it
seems perfectly plain that iv is use
less to talk of Union sentiment in
the Rebel army. It has no exist
ence, in my judgement, at all. The
advice of an officer to a listening
throng is applicable heie, and I
give it here for the consideration of
your readers: "There is one way
in which you can defeat us. Put
every man you have in the field,
meet us at every point, fight until
there is not a Southern regiment
or soldier left, and the thing is ac
complished. Then you can have
l!w eonnfry ;nvl welcome. Makft
your people undet stand this matter,
and open their eyes to the solemn
truth, that if they insist on a restora
tion of-the Union, it can only be
gained by a war which will leave
the South without a living man,
and make the North desolate, be
yond recovery."
The Richmond Enquirer, after
alluding to the steps taken by the
President relative to the orders is
sued by Pope and Steinhcht, says:
We take occasion to say that the
President is also demanding re
dress for the outrages of the enemy
in other quarters.
We have authority for saying that
communications were sent to the
Lincoln Government some weeks
since, respecting the execution of
Mumford, at New Orleans, and
other outrages committed by tho
Yankee Generals, but no reply has
yet been received. Another de
mand has recently been made in re
gard to them and the additional at
rocities perpetrated by the Lincoln
officials in different parts of the
Confederate States. A short time
has been given to the Federal au
thorities within which to reply, be
fore orders will be issued for the
execution of the measures necessary
for the repression of these outrages
also. 1
PImptying the Hospitals.
The number of inmates in the seve
ral hospitals in Richmond has de
creased so of late that it has been
deemed more economical to remove
the few patients to other hospitals
and close them while they undergo
renovation for the reception of vic
tims of future battles. None of the
hospitals now contain half the num
ber of wounded that they did a
week after the late battles.
