We understand that Gen. Foster, Brigadier Cen
ePaI in the Provisional Army of Tennessee yester
day rendered his resignation to the Governor, and
thst Il has been accepted. The troops, arms, and
other munitions of furnished By our State haFn
ING been Transferred TO the goyernmentof the Con-
feerate States some time since, the actual authority
Of General Foster as to them ceased st that time
and be was only induced by the urgent solicitations
of friends and his own conviction Of dutX. to remain
in Office until the arrival Of some Genel al Officer of
the Confederate Army here to take command Of this
Division.
Having now been fully relieved of any further
responsibility, aad being unwilling to receive pay
and occupy position where his services could not
be made available in active war, be resigns with
the full determination. to act in any capacity
where he cln render efhclent SD TO his

Circumstances very unpropitieus for success.
Ardently devoted to the cause of Southern
rights and having exerted considerable influence IN
determining the political attitude of Tennessee he
promptly rendered his services to the GoyernoE and
the State ia case war ensued. He waI ap-
pointed one of our Brlgadier Generals and aFdered
TO take command of the first Camp formed in the
Middle Division Of the State The position was new
and ernb2Tra ssing. Three thousand raw troops
were to be governed drilled and disciplined for the
war, in sight If their own homes and under the
seductions and temptations incident to their situa
ton. We all know how firmly, kindly and efectual-
~ this duty was performed, ana how proudly and
fondly we gazeS on those supurb regiments as they
passed through Nashville TO Virginia, where they
are now vindieatinS the gall2ntry and freedom Of
Tennessee and the South. General Anderson and
General Zolhcoffer having been successfully trans
ferred to Virginia and East Tennessee, it became
the duty of Gen Foster to take command at Nash
vile. and here in our sight he has labored fer
several weeks, it'll his characteristic energy and
ability IN aiding the full armament and preparation
Of our troops for the duties of the field organizing
and directing those remaining here, perfecting all
our important police measures, and qualifying him
self fer future service. We earnestly hope soon to
see him in the field and reviving the remembrance
of the gallant charge Monterey, in which he bore
glorious part.
In his staff Gen Foster had the assistance of Can't
James B. Craighesd gentleman of high military
and general culture, who will probably resume his
command in the Rock City Guards, now in Western
Virgins. His Aid de Camp, Thos. 7. Smiley, has
been constantly duty with him, and rendered not
only linremitting but important service. We trust
he viii also reappear upon the field in the ca
pacity where his gallantry and ability may be dis
playel in the glorious cause of Southern rights and

The Patriot of Tuesday last presents US with an
article concerning a valuable military invention
brought cut by resident Of Nashville, Prof. E. c.
E. VILE. We should Judge from the nature of the
missile that it is undoubtedly Of the most de-
structive and devilish constructions known in the
military science. As we are involved in most un-
hsIlowed, destructive and tyrannical civil war, it
would be well for our authorities not to pass
valuable and scientific productions, supposing them
to be of no consequence or rather receptions, in
case they might be taken to other parts of the
try, where we would be sorry to have such Internal
machines turned against US

FROM QUE ARMY Up HE RIvSR.-We learn from
passengers who came down from Columbus yester-
day, that the enemy were getting in close jaxtapO-
sition Of JEFF Thompson's command, who were STA
toned opposite on tie Missouri shore. He had
called upon Gen. Polk for reinforcement, which
was promptly furnished.
The Federal and Confederate piekets were con
tnually firing upon each other all night Of the l4th
inst, and as our Columbus correspondent informs
Us, twenty Of the Federsls have already been cap
tuTed by our men, and are held in confinement as
prisoners of war at that place.
We further learn that Cen Cheatham advanced
upon Mayfleld with considerable force on Satur-
day. Of this there can be no doubt rs we have il
from several authoritative sources. Stirring times
may be anticipated in Western Kentucky during the
course of the present week, we think.--1lemphs

CONFEDERATE TREASURY NoTEs.-In referring to
the fact that many complaints are made with refer
ence to the manner in which the Confederate treas
ury notes, of the smaller denominations, have been
engraved, the N. o. Price Current states that they
were autographed merely to supply the present
demand fer small bills, and that it is not intended to
continue them in circulation beyond the time when
bills Of like denominations and executed in a style
fully equ4l in all respects to the larger treasury
notes, can be engraved and made ready for dlstri-
button. The same paper also states, on the best
authority, that the work of engraving these notes
is in a fair state of progress and that the public
will not have to wal: very long for their appear
ance They will be executed on the very best blnk
note paper of which there is ample present sup
ply, and will be equal in appearance to any Of our
bank notes As soon as they ready to be issued,
all of the Autographed notes will be called in AID
these engraved and otherwise improved notes given
in exchange for them.

quests to suggest to our officers and soldiers in

that of the best prophylactcs against the COM

food. As a eondiment it is very agreeable, and If
it will have any effect as prophylactic against
camp fever5 it should certainly be daily used. We
believe it is found in abundance about the markets
in almost all the towns of the country The peo-
pie Of the country will doubtless supply our
soldiers with it If requested tO.-Ns.0 Orleans Bud
