quarter upwards Of thirty thousand dol
lars for the quarter masters department
of sixty thousand for the pay department,
and OF a hundred thousand dollars for The
contractors department. Ample remit
tances will, no doubt, be made to meet
the current expenses OF the campaign, so
soon as the military appropriation bill
Tor 1915 is passed. Meanwhile, the pas
sage OF that act has been DELAYED by the
disagreeing votes of the two H0nscs of
Congress, ON particular clause of the

ed. One House has already resolved 20
Gfthere 10 lis ground. lfihe Senate follows
its example, the whole bill is rejected,
and must be originated de moro. We
sIall, in our next, place before our read
crs The reasoning of the committee of

presented IN the House of Representa-
iives of the United States, and referred to

NOZZLE. Dec. 20.-It is with extreme
satisfaction that we announce, that Gen
erals Clauze! and Lefebvre Desncuettps,
have purchased in Mobile, and will pro-
badly make il their permanent residence.
They have also purchased for Marshal
Grouchy and Gen. LaIlemande. Gen.
Ciauzel stays with us this winter Gen.
Desnouettes proceeds for the White Bluii.
This will be great addition to our socie-
ty and active capital, and we feel eratif-

NASHVILLE, January 20.-Gen. Jack
SON, short time since received AN order
10 proceed to the southern frontier, and
take the command OF the troops collected
by General Gaines TO punish the Seminole
indiaus-he was directed to take into
service 1000 volunteers, tito be had-be-
fore the notice That men were wanting
could reach the distant counties, the
ranks were understood to he filed, and
on Thursday last the gen. took up the
line Of march. Ii is conieciured that Pen
sacola is the ultimate object of the expo
dition. Gen. jackson, supported by the
very Tennessee mounted riflemcn who
before gave the Dons some schooling in
Pensacola, will soon avenge the death of
Scott and his companions.
,.ihe prompiiiude with which the citi-
zers- volunteered is the best evidence that
conld be offered OF the continued popu-
larity of the general, and Notwithstanding
The volumes of newspaper slang in the
Kentucky papers, by some means the
Kentuckians learnt that Jackson was go
ing 10 fight the Indians and behold yes
terday a large and elegant company
passed through this town going to JOIN
him. What can be more gratifying TO the
general than 10 see these brave men, who
have increased as they journeyed on as a
bail of snow rolling from mountains
top C3Wion.
