i ' * ' Latent \ from tlie United Stated. Richmond, Sept. 4.?Baltimore papers of September 1 have been received: ? i It is announced that the Army of the Cum- ; berland, under Rosccrans, crossed the Ton- 1 . nessec river near Stevenson, Alabama, on Sat- ' urday, at four different points. It is reported 1 that General Reynolds has captured a large I Confederate force at Shell Mound. Burnside, at last accounts, was in the neighborhood of 1 Kingston. ' Intelligence from Mexico to August 24 has been received, via San Fr?ni?ia<v?- Tt. i? rennrtorl that the intention of tho Triumvirate it to re- < cognise the Confederate States. It is contin. ually foreshadowed by the imperial press that this recognition will take place aa soon as the < news reaches Mexico that Maximilian accepts i the crown. < Five substitutes deserters from Meade's ar- ] my, were executed on the 29th, in presence of 25,000 persons.. Two of the deserters were Protestants, two Catholics and one Hebrew? all foreigners Volunteering in New Jersey is aid to progress briskly. About 5000 have enlisted there since the Governor's proclamation. The New York Herald of the 29th announces in flaming capitals the occupation of Fort Sumter and Wagner by Gen. Gilimore. The Washington correspondent of the Herald states that in view of the probability of the speedy capture of Charleston, and occupation of South Carolina by Yankee troops the Government indicates an intention to place Beast Butler in command of that Department as soon , as Gilimore and Dahlgren complete their work. < The N. Y. Times (August 29) thinks the 1 Nqrth ought to prepare for a war with France, i It suspects negotation between the South and 1 the French Emperor, for the cessation of Texas i to France, as an equivalent for substantial aid < furnished to the Confederacy. The tone of the 1 Em Dress's orcrans indicate cleat Iv enouorh hi* < A (? " J "" purpose to intervene. 1 Gen. Price, with 25,000 men, is at bay on White River. The Yankee forces under J Steele are at Duval's Bluff, on the same river, ' 14 milea below Price. A battle; at last accounts, 1 was imminent. i The steamer City of London with Liverpool dates to the 19th has arrived at New York. ' The Confederate steamer Florida was off the 1 coast of Ireland. Her arrival at Queenstown 1 anticipated. The Port Admiral at the instance ( of the Yankee Consul had issued a notice . warning the people against the infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act. The London , Times says that the decision of the Washington Government in the case of the Peterh"J}? is . looked for with great interest. The Confed<*rate Loan had declined to 25 a 27 discount. The Mexican and Polish question were unchanged. It is officially announced that Maximilian accepts the crown of the Mexican Em- . pire, with the consent of Austria. The Lon- ^ don Times (city article) in reference to Mexico says that the feeling of the London merchants is that, on the whole, Napoleon has been of service to the political and commercial world. A Congress of German Princes is now ^ - in session at Frankford. The French Government has revoked the measure of Confiscation in Mexico. Evacuation of Knoxville.?The town of Knoxville, Tenn., was evacuated by our troops on Monday, and on Tuesday was occupied by the Yankee forces under Burnside. The Yankees came in so soon after the evacuation that they captured two or three trains or cars which . 1 ii i. a. 4.1 t iinu uecu icib mere oy our troops. ( Wc hear nothing of the locality to which | Gen. Bnekner's command retreated. It is sup- ( posed that the Burning of a bridge on the East ] Tennessee and Virginia Railroad prevented j the removal of the cars noticed above as being ( captured. This feat was doubtless performed i by the torieB with which East Tennessee , abounds.?Richmond, Dispatch. 4 A Traitor Expelled.?At a public meeting held in Griffin Georgia on the 13th, permission' was granted t> David II. Johnson to 1 leave the Confederacy within ten days, on a f charge of having been in the liahit of abusing c the Government of the Confederate States, and i advocating a reconstruction of the Union with 1 our enemies, decrying the currency of our s country, Ac. ? The Indignity to Hnrg an and hit Hen, Doubts have boon expressed of the correctness of the statement that tlio heroic Morgan and his fellow-soldiers have had their heads shaved and have been otherwise treated as felons. The reports however, i9 correct, and is admitted in the following letter, which is clipped from the Northern papers. "What is Government doing towards retaliation ? Let tbo shears and convicts uniform be applied to all the Taokeo officers in our possession forthwith: The Chaplain of the Ohio Penitentiary writes to the Christian Advocate that there are sixty-eight of Morgan's officers in the prison. They occupy the South side of the new hall, oach end of which is temporarily closed. They arc locked up separately in cells at 7 o'clock in the evening, and are unlocked about 7 o'clock in the morning. Thuy enjoy the privilege of walking the hall through the dar, which is, perhaps, one hundred and fifty feet long and twelve feet wide. At 8 a. m., and 8 n, m.. thev are conducted tn >?? ^mmnn ring hall, and have orison fare, witu, I believe, the addition of coffee and sugar, and some few articles furnished by- themselves. Morgan and his men are all shaved and Irimmed, in accordance with the rules of the institution. This is the custom, I suppose, for two reasons : First, to secure personal cleanliness, second, to give a uniform appearanco to the prisoners, so that detection would be more easy in case of an attempt to escape. Morgan is full six feet high, straight and well built, with an elastic stop and something of a commanding presence. His upper lip is shoit and somewhat sunken, so that his front teeth are slightly exposed. His oomplcxion is sandy, and the hair quite thin on the top of his head. He looks to be an ordinary man intellectually. He has, however, one of the qualifications of a good commander, he knows liow to obey. He conforms strictly to the rules :>f the establishment, and enjoins obedience on :hc part of his fellow-prisoners. Col. Clarke is three or four inches taller than Morgan, very slender, with a thin, sharp lace *nd'resolute eye. I suppose, from his appearance, he has more dash and daring than Morgan himself. Basil Duke is a man firmly built, and ir.usjular. llis complexion is dark, and his eye ind head indicate some mind and a bad heart. He is much the most intelligent looking man cf the crowd. A Mibstilute Refilled. The Hartford (Conn.) Times tell the following amusing incident: The draft gives rise to some novel incidents, i>f which we give an example : A man, who diall be nameless, was drafted. His wife was sorely distressed at the bare idea of parting, and was vainly endeavoring to invent some excuse for getting him exempted, when a knock was heard at her door. On opening the door she found a rather rough looking chap,' who accosted her thus: "Madam, I hear your husband has been drafted." "Yes, sir," she replied, "he has hnt goodness knows how I am to spare him !" Well, madam I've eome to offer my servicer as a substitute for him." "A what ?" asked the now excited lady. "I wish to take his placr," answesed the roan. You?yon take the place of my husband, vagabond ! I'll teach you to insult a poor lone woman in distress, yon moan, dirty wretch," cried the prospective widow, accompanying ber remarks with a discharge of cmty water at I the head of the astonished substitute, who fled i t .1 riasmy down ine stairs just in the time to escape the pail, which followed the water. The i last heard of him he was flying into a recruiting office on Aslynin street, where he thought of enlisting as a private rather than venture ! * gain to offer his services as a "substitute,'* ( which he now believes to be a more trying and 1 lelicate relation than tl ,t oi" Artemus Ward's , episodes."
