Gillen has entirely rented the enemy in East Tennessee, driving Mm in great confusion forty- four miles. His advance is ninety-five miles east of Knoxville. The enemy are at Bristol, being strengthened by the Virginia militia. Beporte of the destruction of government property on land at Johnsonville is greatly exaggerated. No apprehensions are entertained as to its safety.

The destruction of government and private property on the TJTBr is complete, involving an immense loss. The election in Bast Tennessee was unanimous for Lincoln. The following is the vote of the Ohio and Pennsylvania soldiers at Atlanta Lincoln, MoOlellan, 889. 9)0; McCleflan 286. Entire railroad and telegraphic commu- nicationfl are complete and secure.

He has also burned Rome and Marietta, and his entire army is falling back on Chattanooga, where it will arrive during the present week. In the recent raid by Dick Taylor and Forrest, there were supplies obtained at Johnsonville and other points sufficient to feed Hood's army for a year.

A most lamentable state of affairs exists in Tennessee. Gen. Thomas is organizing a strong army to prevent Hood from moving further than Nashville. ABOUTIOS COJSPIRATOa. SrBiHQTiRLD, Nov.

dispatch to The man Pratter, who Trent to Chicago from Christian county as one of the so-called conspirators, is better known as a republican of that county. Re served eighteen months as a private in the 30th Illinois, and them was appointed lieutenant in a nigger regiment. He afterwards resigned and was drafted recently. He procured a furlough for fifteen days, and was sent to Chicago by the republicans to play a part in the conspiracy role. He never was a democrat.

His father was an abolitionist before him. lie is now in abolition employ, and can deceive no one in Christian county. WASHKB 'WASHIHOTON, Nov. dispatch to The Times: Your correspondent writes from the army of the Potomac that there is no military news of importance. Some thirty election commissioners have been arrested on charges of alleaed frauds in the election, and imprisoned, to be tried by court martial.

The vote of the army is represented as two-thirds for Lincoln. Robert Walker arrived here to-day, and has had an interview with the president. The probabilities are that, after the meeting of congress, he will become secretary of the treasury in place or Mr. Fessenden, whose health will cause him to re. tire.

Gen. Wallace has established a bureau in Maryland to take care of vibe freedmen. Jeff. Davia in his reviews the campaign of the federal generals, and says that the federal successes have not been commensurate with tho power put forth and the sacrifices incurred. He opposes, in general, the arming of negro slaves.

He says he cannot see the propriety or necessity of arming slaves while there are so many white men out of the ranks. He would only drill and arm such negroes as are already employed in the quartermaster and commissary departments, and fill the place 8 of such by a draft of negroes from the planters. He would only give the reward of manumission to such slaves as shall have served efficiently with the armies in the field. The question of foreign recognition and of aid is discussed, and he informs his congress that there is absoultely no hope of help from abroad. He gives foreign nations a loud and lofty scolding for their lack of sympathy with the struggling confederacy, and eomforte them with the assurance that the rebellion must rely solely upon its own resources.

The yellow fever has disappeared at Newborn. The Herald's correspondence says the recent movements of the rebels in the valley to the right of Sheridan's position, it is now thought, were designated principally to procure cattle and other supplies, of which they stand much in need, and not for the purpose of attempting to flank the Union army. Gen. Powell's division of cavalry started on an important reconnoiasance on Monday, but had not returned. Froa the date of the latest dispatches, we learn an expedition was sent out a few days ago, -which ascertained that the rebels still occupy their entrenchments and works, and remain in considerable force in the vicinity of Mil ford.

Their arrangements for the raid in Western Virginia, on election day, were completely frustrated by the movements of Gen. Kelley towards Moorefield. Capt. Badger of General Powell's staff, and eleven others, captured by Mosby, succeeded a few nights ago, in killing their guard and making their escape. HOUSES FOE TROOPS.

Wednesday night, as the train was on its way from City Point to the headquarters of the army of the Potomac, it was fired on by the rebels, but the shot fell short, and therefore did no damage. SUPPLIES ST. Louis, Nov, time ago the Western Sanitary Commission sent large supplies to Atlanta for our prisoners at Andersonville by request of Sherman, arrangements having been made with Hood to deliver them. Military movements prevented their delivery, and now Gen. Sherman writes to the president of the Sanitary Commission that he will hold the articles for the purpose designed, but that it may be necessary fox him to go tp Andersonville to deliver the supplies The Democrat has private intelligence that Porter's fleet is going to Savannah, or Charleston, and not to Wilmington as 'sup.

dispatch to The Times: Minnesota aommisaioners came to this state to take the voteb of four 'Minnesota regiments that are out in the interior with Gen. A. J. Smith's forces. Being afraid of bush-wickers, theyi did not go to camp, and consequently the 1 four regiments lost their votes.

This will make in favor of McClelJan in that state. A large number of McCleflan tickets sent here for Ohio soldiers were found in an alley, torn up and thrown in tfie mud.

9 dispatch to The New Orleans dates are to the per steamer Magenta. Her officers report seeing 160 guerrillas on the Tennessee shore, opposite Island 65. They were gathering up cattle and horses for the rebel army. They stated to the officers of the Magenta that they had positive orders from Forrest not to fire upon passing boats. They reported a rebel force of 10,000 at Trenton, but did not know or would not tell their destination.

On the 26th a band of guerrillas made a dash into Grand Gulf and burned 37 bales of cotton belonging to Mr. Jennings. The gunboat stationed there had gone a short distance below. Fifteen hundred bales of confederate ernment cotton are now lying at Brownsville. This will of course fall into the hands of our eastern smu2glers.

The rebels made a raid a few miles above Napoleonville, and carried off a lot of mules, horses, and such other valuables as they could find. An expedition was sent after them, with the usual result of "nobody hurt." CAIBO, Nov. dispatch to The Times: The neet of gunboats, mosquitoes, that started up the Tennessee river from here has returned to Paducah. fiER. WttlGHT ffOT DEAD NEW YOBK, Nov.

The gentleman to whom I Have allude'). Dr.

Dethier, has just brought to a close a long and careful investigation of tioa which for severaJ years had been looked to with much interest, by scholars throughout Europe, and especially by the academicians of Pesth, the fate of the once famous but long lost library of Matthias Corvinus, king of Hungary. For more than 200 years all trace of this library had disappeared, but A few years since a hope was confidently suggested that a considerable portion, of it would be found in the library of the old seraglio at Constantinople, which was believed to contain spoils of more than ote library of the west. Without entering into the details of this interesting report, it will be enough to state that Dr. Dethier finds the totai number of Greek and Latin MSS. in the Sultan's library to be 96.

Of thede only 16 can with certainty be pronounced, from intrinsic evidence, to Corvinian. Of the remaining 80 (although without any external marka of the Oorvinian library) may possibly have belonged to it- but the proportion appear certainly not to be Corvinian, and (airly be believed to have come from ihe spoils of Trebizonde, or even the laier Turkish forays in Italy and elsewhere!
