The impression prevails here that Bristol, i ion, as the | ‘Tenn. is by this time in our possession, | hundred thousand dollars to the Lebanon first important result of the recent fall of Chat- tanooga and Cumberland Gap. Bristol is the | most important point in East Tennessee to the efficiency of the military operations of the rebels, it being the crossing place or junction of tour or five railroads. Its possession by our forces must exercise great influence upon the determination of the question of the rebels’ ability to hold Atlanta much longer, that being their great military depot, arsenal and manu- facturing peint in Georgia; a point now ef as much, if not more, importance to their future ability to keep an army of any respectable numbers in the field, as Richmond, Va., itself. CAPTURED BY THE REBELS. On Monday night last, a band of twenty guerrillas, under the command of Capt. Corne- lius Kincheloe, entered Occoquan and cap- | tured Mr. John Underwood, who was there on | 8 visit, in company with Mr. Thomas Colter: of this city.

SES ee | MILITARY RAILROAD FROM NICHOLAS- VILLE TO KNOXVILLE BEING BUILT. 2S Se NEGRO LABORERS EMPLOYED. SS Crxcrnnatt, Sept. 12.—The Commercial says thatthe work onthe military railroad from Nicholasville to Knoxville, Tennessee, has been commenced and will be pushed with great rapidity. A thousand men to the mile will socn be employed. Negro laborers haye been impressed along the line of the road; every third slave being taken. They will be clothed and paid. Un- employed blacks who have come into the Fed- eral lines in the Southern States, are being for- warded to labor on the road. They will vb: paid one-third of their wages, the remainder to be reserved, to aid in providing them a home in some foreign country when the war is over. The city of Louisville has subscribed six branch; and threughout the State the heartiest co-operation will be given to the great euter- prise. An excursion train on the western division of the Ohio and Mississippi railroad ran into the gravel train on Thursday. The engineer was killed and fifteen passengers wounded. RECLAMATION OF ABKANSAS.—The Federal forces by this time, are, doubtless, in posse.- sion of Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas. | In capturing Little Rock, we have made a valuable acquisition. Itis an excellent poiai @appui for further military operations in that quarier. The town 1s situated on the right, or southern bank of the Arkansas river, about 300 miles from its mouth. Among its public buildings is a U. S. Arsenal, the State Peniten- tiary, a City Hall, and six or seven churches. Before the war, there were three newspapers | published in Little Rock, but by this time they escape, they not discovering his whereabouts. | are probably all extinct. The town enjoys reg- ular steamboat communication with different oints on the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers. ‘he surreunding country is celebrated for its fine quarries of slate and granite. The origin of the name Little Rock is thus explained. In ascending the river there appears on the south bank, rising out of the water, a bold, igneous slate rock, which at low water, is about 25 feet from the suriace, but at high water is almost hidden from view. This gives name to the city, and is called by the townspeople « Point of Rocks.” The population, previous to the rebellion, was about 5.000. There are but few | Confederate troops of any account, now, south of the Arkansas river, and as we have no idea that that few are in a condition to resist the Union troops now pressing them so hard, it cannot be longere Arkansas will be fully re- stored to the Union. ANOTHER INVASION BY LEE SURMISED.—li is believed by military men whose means of information are of the best description, that Gen. Lee has, within the last few days, re- ceived heavy reinforcements, and that he med- itates another aggressive campaign. The weak- ness shown by the rebel armies at other points is thought to strengthen the probability that the insurgents are gathering their forces for a pesperate effort under their most trusted com- mander.— Tribune. CoLoNEL Joun H. WARING.—We are glad to be able to state that our highly respected fel- low citizen, Col. Waring, now confined at Fort Delaware, is in the evujoyment of excellent health.

This is a itcp towards success in the reduc- tion of Charleston; but it is noi success itself, nor does it by eny mears er_ure it. We un- derstand that our officers in command there re- garditas entarely practicable to deiend Charles- ton without Morris Island. But while the enemy cannot force the sur- rendcr of the city, we fear that the danger has much increased of its being battered down by thcic artillery.

A.,on the 26th June last, Major Latham testified that on the day before the night of the robbery, Mr. Chapman, clerk to Major Williams, proposed to the witness to take his money from the iron chest and put it in & wooden box belonging to Major Williams. He merely acquiesced without a second thought, and placed it in the box. That was from the tnd told him $200 was gone. He returned and in & corner of the celiar found $15 in cents. ‘The chemise belonged to a servant girl named Julia Riley. He did not, at that time, suspect any one, but subsequently suspected Bowen, and had him arrested the day after by Detectives Hogan and Dagan They examined the prem- ices and the prisoner, and suggested the dis- mniseal of Bowen and the arrest of Chapman, Church, and the gizl. The suggestion as to the arrests was not agreed to by the wit- ness, but Eowen was dismissed. Things remained in this condition until the others lett the city. Finding out that the girl had seen Bowen at the house the evening of the robbery, he then had a warrant issued rd Jus.ice Johneo on thesth of August, on whic!

Before the lasi word was out, themelon went tumbling to the ground on one side of the stand, and the darkey on the other, bsllowing, “O de Lord! 0, de Lora of Hebens!” Picking himself up, he half scrambled, half Tau a few paces tron) the stand, and turning to behold the fragments of the melon, continued. ‘“Whew, dis nigger pebber stans dat.
