The telegraphic intelligence from East Ten- nessee which we published yesterday is highly important, General Burnside, on the left, who is co-operating with General Rosecrans in stra- tegical and flanking movements, captured Kings ton on the 2d inst.; and that is a grand point gained. See map on the first page. All Eastern Tennessee, except the Chatta- nooga region, has been abandoned by the rebels and is now free. Meantime General Rosecrans, on the right, has crossed the Tennessee, and in a brief time both armies will close in behind Bragg at Chat- tanooga, unless he speedily evacuates that stronghold and falls back into Georgia. He is The Mil much attention, and promise some important de- velopments in the progress of the two armies of As we stated yeaterday, the last despatches from that quarter, tothe 4th instant, describe nearly the whole of Kastern Tennessee as evacuated by the rebels and open to our troops, with the exception of the Chattanooga region; and from all the indications afforded by the position of our armies it is quite probable that before many days we shall learn that this region has also been abandcned, or at least that the communica- tions wil! be so cut off as to render it untenable by the enemy. The corjunction of the forces of Generals Rosecrans and Burnside at Kingston— when, as will be remembered, portions of both commands entered the town together, at its cap- ture on Wednesday—proves that a combined movement of the two armies is not only progress, but that the initiatory action develops a plan of the forthcoming cam- paigo in Eastern Tennessee, which presages success. By reference to our map on the first page, it will be observed that by the present posi- tion and late movements of our armies both Kaoxville and Chattanooga are outflanked. Gene- ral Burnside's troops reached Kingston from Lex- ington, Kentucky, moving southwards, and Gene- ral Rosecrans’ forces marching casterly from Tul- Ishoma, formed # junction, which leaves Chatta- nooga and Knoxville ina position of imminent peril. ‘The official despatches of General Gillmore and Admiral Dahlgren to their respective departments represent things very favorably at Charleston. They express no doubt of the ultimate reduction of the city. General Gillmore has his heavy guns hard at work, and had mounted several new ones, which would brivg the city within range.

He cannot give him battle except in a defensive position. But when Rosecrans and Burnside shall have uniled their forces Bragg will find him- self as little able to resist as Pemberton was at Vicksburg, or Lee in Maryland. If he holds his ground his whole army will be captured. It is not probable, therefore, that he will wait to give battle after his posi- tion is turned; and it is stated that everything of value is being already moved away by rail- road from Chattanooga. He will retreat*to At- Janta, and still further back if pushed by the Union generals. At the same time we must not disguise from ourselves that they have a hard road to travel, and that in proportion as their lines of communication are extended will be the difficulty of defending them and the necessity for an increased force. But the re- ward of success will be great. By the success of this movement, in conjunc- tion with the movement in Arkansas, by which Steele and Blunt will place themselves in the rear of Price, and cut off the rebel army there from its base or compel it to fight or retreat into Texas, the whole territory west of the Mississippi will be set free from the rebel dominion, for the ope- rations of the insurgents in Texas amount tolittle or nothing ; and once isolated, the rebels there wold have no option but to lay down their arms; and not only the territory west of the Mississippi, but the vast tract eastef the Father of Waters, to a straight line running trom Mobile to Fredericksburg, will be eman- cipated from the grusp of rebellion. How narrow is the strip of territory ulong the coast thus left to Jeff. Davis may be seen by looking at the map of the United States. The only hope of the Confederates is in their army of Virginia. By giving up other points and contracting their lines they can make that army sufliciently strong for offensive operations, and a great success would, to a great ex- tent, neutralize our victories and triumphant marches elsewhere. It is not only possible, therefore, but extremely probable, that Lee is now preparing o third offensive campaign against the North, having for his objective point the city of Washington. It would require a very large force to accomplish his purpose; but if the rebel generais should pur- sue the strategy indicated he could undoubted- ly have such a force; and as the success of the campaign would pul the rebellion on its legs again for at least another year, it certainly would be worth the risk to the desperate mili- tary and political leaders of the confederacy. That something of that kind must be done im- mediately, or the whole concern will collapse, is evident to every one who takes even the most superficial view of the subject. The weather is now fit for military onerations, and warm work, therefore, may soon be expected in Virginia or Maryland. Lee, collecting his strength for one last effort, will make a terrible onslaught. If he fails this time all is over with the rebel- lion. If he wins he will postpone for some time the day of its dissolution. But that he will be defeated, as before, we have no doubt. The prestige is against him. He always fails in invasion; and, what is more, he has never been successful since he lost Stonewall Jack- sou, his right arm in battle. Meantime we hope the authorities at the Wer Departinent are fully alive to the great- ness of the crisis which is now upon them, and that they will not have their preparations still to make when the enemy is again thunder- ing oa the banks of the Potomac. AN Exaweie Worray or Imrratiox,—By a telegraphic despatch from Cincinnati, which we published yesterday, it appears that Spellman, charged at Dayton, Ohio, with shooting, with intent to kill, has been surrendered to the civil authorities by order of General Cox; that he was in the Sheriff's custody, awaiting the dispo- sition of the writ of habeas corpus before Judge Haynes, and that the Provost Marshal would not resist it. This is gratifying intelligence. The subordination of the military to the civil au- thorities, unless within the lines of an army in the fleld, is not only in accordance with the law and the constitution, but the sentiment of the Aimevican people. If the military do not ect an example of obedience to the constitution and the laws, how cau they expect the people to obey and to be Joyal? In our system of sxoverument, not fealty to a king or any indi- 1, but obedience to the con tion and | Jaws, is trne loyalty, After so many example purt of the military of treating the civil jaw and authorities with contempt, the present | instanee, in which General Cox seta a contrary ‘ example, is highly praiseworthy, aud is desery- | ing of universal imitation. Nothing so strength- | ens the hands of an administration as rigidly | compelling all its officers and subordinates to obey the laws; for without obedience to law | we would all soon flod ourselves in 4 state of | anarchy. There seems to be a general disposi- tion to stick to the constitution, unless among | the radicals alone. It is the sheet anchor of | | our hope. | | leased under The Shed y Astuaasinee im the Parish Mansten, We have before culled attention to that new efiiorescence of the shoddy aristocracy, the new | Union League Club. Now the overpowering descriptions of 4 correspondent of the New York Times bave initiated us into the mysteries of the Union League Clubhouse, formerly known as the Varisb Mansion. This club was organized because its members have a little more money than they know what to do with, and because, in spite of their money, noue of the old, established, réspectable clubs in the city would admit these newly rich people to membership. Debarred by their lack of edveation, culture and refine ment from associating with the really intellec- tual portion of the community, the Union Leaguers have been compelled to associate with each other, and this new club ia the con- sequence. It is therefore in many respects one of the most curious and amusing develop- ments of this revolutionary period. We are indebted to the correspondent of the Times for considerable information. in regard to the objects of these Union League Ciub- men, As the “vouchers and introducers” of this correspondent were “two. geatlemen who have been most active and efficient in the organization,”’ his information is of an official character. It is to be regretted that the cor- respondent “abstains, for reasons which must be obvious, from any introduction of names.” “Such personal notices,” he patronizingly tells us, “are often liable to misrepresentation, and at best could do no good. ””? We readily concur in the remark that the reasons for the suppression of the names of the members are obvious. Why should the papers indirectly and gratuitously advertise shoddy mills and agencies for con- demned muskets? If any one is anxious to know these names he may find them in the reports of contract investigation committces Or, if such documents are inconvenient for re- ference, let him look at the list of delegates to some abolition-republican convention, ‘now styled Union, in order to humbug a few weak minded voters. For, as this correspondent as- sures us, the Union League Club is decidedly political. One of its main objects is “to secure by social influence, as well as by political argu- ment, an organization which shall make activity in politics the reverse of low hereafter; which shall, in fact, hereafter canse non-uctivity in politics io be the stamp and stain of an im- becile and a driveller.” This is a very long winded and long worded way of stating that the object of the club is to drum up votes for the black republican party. Everybody who does not vote with this party “hereafter” will be regarded as “an imbecile and a driveller,’”’ and will be “stamped and stained” according- ly. This is language so choice and elegant that we feel certain that the irrepressible Chevalier Raymond must have dictated it. His “stamp and stain” are easily recognizable. The clubhouse, we are told, is sumptuously furnished and magnificently decorated. How sumptuonsly and how magnificently the corres- pondent, “being neither an upbolsterer nor house decorator,” refuses to inform us. He thinks that on the whole, however, “the inte- rior of the Parish Mansion will compare favora- bly with the very best in richness, elegance of taste and substantial comfort.” This weuld be eminently satisfactory did not the correspond- ent forthwith proceed “to call attention to two or three articles’ of furnitgp (‘sumptuous furniture’) which were designéd neither for luxury nor for ornament.” ‘These are not, as might be supposed, the rifled can- non so conspicuously displayed in front of the Times office a few weeks ago. They are “vast wooden shutters or shields of unpainted pine. bullet-proof themselves, and pierced for musketry, intended to block up the windows on the ground floor.” Surely the correspondent must have mixed up the description of a block- house with his account of the Union League Clubhouse, by some such accident as that which once involved the “sympathies of youth” with the “elbows of the Minci Bat no; the Union League Club is a military as well as a political organization. It has « “chief of ord- nance,” who controls “an arsenal of very ef- fective weapons, ready to be rained down at a moment's notice from the strong iron balcony in front of the first floor windows.” These weapons are probably the hand grenades which poor Greeley had in the Trilme office after his escape from the meatbox at Windust’s. Very neat adjuncts these are to the “social infiu- ences” of the Union League Club. Suppose that the club cook should inadvertently drop a red hot coal into the arsenal, what-would then be-' come of the Union Leaguors? How can any of the members have the reckless courage to smoke @ segar over such a magazine? What will the neighbors say when they learn that an ac- cidental spark falling upon these hand grenades may destroy the whole block of houses? Where is the Fire Marshal? Where are the insurance agents? Where are the police? It is in vain that the enthusiastic correspondent endeavors to cover up this danger by dwelling upon the fighting qualities of the members of the club. Doubtless they can “fight the tiger” as bravely aa other men; but that would not avail against anexplosion. Their “willingness to accept all the responsibilities of patriotic duty” may be “laudable;” but it will not reimburse the in- surance companies. They may be “willing, if need be, to defend their principles with their lives;” but that is no reason why they should imperil the lives of their innocent neighbors. They may be ready to “raise the banner of patriotic faith; but why should they raa the risk of “raising” the whole block by the explo- sion of their magazine? We pause for a reply, and in the meantime earnestly direct the at- tention of the proper authorities to the facts, 98 stated by the Times correspondent, Tue Crowns iN THE City IMrroveMeNts [N Towx.—Never before has our city been so crowded as at this moment.

Tax Partio™ “aM OF Oni Banxs.—New York and Brooklyn are engaged at the present time making loans to pay for substitutes for the fire- men, police and peor who have been drafted. ‘This city offers six per cont for one year on the amount needed; but, atrange to say, but one banking institution—the Broadway Bank—and one insarance company—the Lorillard—have taken any portion of the loan. Aa the object of the authorities is to keep within the cily those persons necessary to the preservation of peace, order and safety, it apeaks little for the patriotism or good sense of those institutions which have kept aloof from the loan. We sup- pose that the chances of making a larger per- centage in the gambling speculations of Wall street prove more engrossing to the establish- ments in question than any idea of patriotism. Tan Trove Reevrey By THE PRestpRt's Lerren.—The Tribune of yesterday positively affirms that there is no possibility of any of the rebellious Southern States being readmitted into ithe Union unless they first abolish slavery, and that this is the policy of the whole Cabinet and Mr. Lincoln self, notwithstanding a recent statement in the H«rain to the contrary, which the Trilnme, in its usual eloquent phraseology, designates as » “falsehood.” Our authority is Mr. Lincoln himself. He says he is willing to loave the whole matter of the emancipation ‘proclamation to the Supreme Court,and, more- over, that if the rebel rulers offered a compro- mise it would not be rejected. It is not, there- fore, impossible for any Southern State to return to the Union with ery among its domestic institutions. The Syracuse platform admits this. Where, then, is the falsehood? 1s the Presideat guilty of it? Stavanren Hovses is 1s Cury.--City In- spector Boole laid before the Board of Alder- men on Friday night a communication in refer- ence to slaughter houses that deserves the atiention of every citizen. Necessary as such estublisbments are, there can be no doubt that, as they exist in the densely peopled parts of this city, they are nuisances of the first class. They are ‘reservoirs of putrid matter, and it is hardly possible to over estimate the harm they do to health in the localities in which they exist. Moreover they are the cause of that other nuisance, the droves of cattle in our streets—as it is while they are on the way to these establishments that exasperated bulls occasionally send the unwary on the most disa- grecable gyrations through the air that a man can make. Mr. Boole suggests that large slaughter houses be built at proper places, where the butchers can get accommodation as they now hire stalls in our markets. The plan is a good oue, and should be acted on at once. We have plenty of room on the upper part of the island on eithar river, and by such a loca- tion we shall get rid at once of the mad caitle aud the bad smells; and our city, purged of these unsightly objects, with a few more ancient institutions of the seme class, and kept as clean as it now is, may be made one of the most beautiful in the world. Tae Caxapiax Inca or Oor Mittrary Srrexaru4.—The Toronto (Canada) Leader—a Jacobin journal in the employ of Jeff. Davis—in an article in which it endeavors to prove that the North has gained nothing thus far over the South, estimates that various localities are oc- cupied by federal troops in numbers as follows, in order to keep the people in subjection :— Washington - 100,000 Nashville. 100,000 New York - 60,000 New Orleans. 5 Missouri. 50,000 Kentucky « 50,000 25,000 If we add to the above the | army af one hun- dred and fifty thonsand with which Canada, ac- cording to the statements of the Leader and the assertions of Thomas D'Arcy McGee, is to be immediately invaded, we have the respectable army of five hundred and eighty-five thousand men now acting as 4 reserve, Then we have General Meade’s army in Virginia, General Gillmore’s in South Carolina, Generai Grant's. in Mississippi, Gencral Rosecrans’ and General Burnside’s in Tennessee, General Blunt’s ia Arkansas, besides many troops in various lo- calities not enumerated above, which may be considered in actual service.

This is the meeting to which Pre- sident Lincoln wrote, and letters were also received from the Hon. Owen Lovejoy, the Hon. Schuyler Colfax and others. Sensible as some of these epistles may be, what is the use of political letter writing during this crisis? In- stead of sitting down and telling other people what should be done, these scribblers ought to be doing something themselves. There is now work enough to keep every loyal man busy and no time to waste in political correspondence. One volunteer is worth a thousand lettérs.
