be given for the construction of carriages. headquarters Department of East Tennessee, Knoxville, April 1, 1862. Brig. Gen. S. B. Maxey, Commanding, &c., Chattanooga, Tenn.: I am directed by Maj. Gen. E. Kirby Smith to say that he has the following information respecting the force and distribution of the troops of the enemy: 800 infantry (Kentucky regiment) are at Lebanon; 200 cavalry at Manchester; 80 cavalry at McMinnville, and small detachments of cavalry at Woodbury, Smithville, and Auburn. He thinks that much service might be rendered by a cavalry force operating against the enemy in that section. There are many people there friendly to the cause, and the enemy, though well armed, are badly mounted. If you think it advisable you can send a cavalry command, under an active and energetic but cautious commander, in that direction. Besides the annoyance and check given to the enemy much valuable information might be obtained. Some of the cavalry of Floyd's late command wer

Seward--who had made a political tour through the North-West during the Autumn, wherein his speeches in behalf of the Republican cause and candidates were of a remarkably high order, alike in originality, dignity, and perspicuity — closed the canvass, the night before Election, in an address to his townsmen at Auburn, which concluded with these truthful and memorable words: Now here is the trinity in unity and unity in trinity of the political church, just now come to us by the light of a new revelation, and christened Fusion. And this Fusion party, what is the motive to which it appeals?

The regiment was mustered into service on August 20, 1862, and left Auburn the following day for Harper's Ferry, where, after joining that ill-fated garrison, it was included in its surrender shortly afterwards. The men were released on parole, but were not declared exchanged until December, 1862, when they entered the field again, and went into winter quarters at Centreville, Va., remaining there several months in a brigade comma
A Catholic priest's war speech.--The Sunday after the President's proclamation calling for seventy-five thousand troops, Father Creedon, the priest of the large Catholic church at Auburn, N. Y., preached a war sermon, as did other clergymen in Auburn. The other sermons were said to be up to the times, but Father Creedon's was conceded on all hands to be the most pertinent. He said:--I wish every man who can leave his family, to enlist. This is the first country the Irishman ever had that hAuburn. The other sermons were said to be up to the times, but Father Creedon's was conceded on all hands to be the most pertinent. He said:--I wish every man who can leave his family, to enlist. This is the first country the Irishman ever had that he could call his own country. The flag of the Stars and Stripes is the only flag that he can fight under and defend as his own flag. Now, in the time of the nation's peril, let every Irishman show that he is worthy to be part of a great and glorious nationality. Now, when the American flag is bombarded and struck down by traitors, let every Irishman show that he is true to the flag which always protects him. I want every Irishman who hears me to enlist, if he can. There are two classes whom I

toned gentlemen in Jamestown, N. Y. But they would have to delay a few minutes, to await the arrival of the Commodore from Yorktown, with despatches from Gen. McClellan, who had telegraphed that the business must not go on till his despatches arrived. During the interval, me, and Abe, and Seward, sauntered through the rooms, looking at the various objects of interest. On entering the library, we found that the messenger had returned from Seward's cellar, with some of the Secretary's best Auburn brand. The cork was drawn, and we sampled the fluid. We next visited the ladies' parlor, and were presented to Mary, who came forward and shook me cordially by the hand, and desired to know how I flourished? Said she never should forgive me for not attending her ball. She was greatly shocked to hear that there had been a failure to connect, about getting the card of invitation. We were soon summoned to the council; the Commodore had arrived, bringing seventeen of Gen. McClellan's staf
drawn up across the pike; but Col. Hall did not offer battle, because he now became convinced that he was followed by the enemy, and wished to draw him on to a more advantageous position. He moved on, therefore, without attacking, to the town of Auburn, and encamped near it for the night, the rebel force moving up also, and encamping within two miles of him. On Friday morning, Col. Hall had fully made up his mind to give battle, and therefore proposed to return toward Murfreesboro, or march ally seeking a battle, he judged it most prudent to retire toward Murfreesboro, draw them after him, take up an advantageous position, and await their attack. Early on the morning of the twentieth, therefore, he ascended a ridge to the rear of Auburn, and waited there for some time upon the highest ground, to reconnoitre. He did not wait long before he perceived the rebel advance moving cautiously after him, while he could also catch glimpses occasionally of their main body gliding amongst t

t likely to agree to any terms of peace that would be unacceptable to the President. You may have remarked that the New York Times maintains as by authority, that the rescript declares one mode of making peace, but not the only one. The abler organs of the Administration seize this suggestion and hold it up in vindication of Lincoln from the charge that he is waging war to abolish slavery, and will not agree to peace until that end is achieved. Mr. Seward, too, in his late speech at Auburn, New York, intimates that slavery is no longer an issue of the war, and that it will not be interfered with after peace is declared. These and other facts indicate that Lincoln is dissatisfied with the issue he has made with the South and fears its decision. I am told that his purpose is to try to show that the Confederate Government will not entertain a proposition for peace that does not embrace a distinct recognition of the Confederate States, thereby expecting to change the issue from war
