  We present far- and near-ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy of the $\sim$23
Myr edge-on debris disk surrounding the A0V star $\eta$ Telescopii, obtained
with the Hubble Space Telescope Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. We detect
absorption lines from C I, C II, O I, Mg II, Al II, Si II, S II, Mn II, Fe II,
and marginally N I. The lines show two clear absorption components at
$-22.7\pm0.5$ km s$^{-1}$ and $-17.8\pm0.7$ km s$^{-1}$, which we attribute to
circumstellar (CS) and interstellar (IS) gas, respectively. CO absorption is
not detected, and we find no evidence for star-grazing exocomets. The CS
absorption components are blueshifted by $-16.9\pm2.6$ km s$^{-1}$ in the
star's reference frame, indicating that they are outflowing in a radiatively
driven disk wind. We find that the C/Fe ratio in the $\eta$ Tel CS gas is
significantly higher than the solar ratio, as is the case in the $\beta$ Pic
and 49 Cet debris disks. Unlike those disks, however, the measured C/O ratio in
the $\eta$ Tel CS gas is consistent with the solar value. Our analysis shows
that because $\eta$ Tel is an earlier type star than $\beta$ Pic and 49 Cet,
with more substantial radiation pressure at the dominant C II transitions, this
species cannot bind the CS gas disk to the star as it does for $\beta$ Pic and
49 Cet, resulting in the disk wind.
