Troops for Pensacola.

We understand that five hundred troops
for Florida will arrive at Columbus Georgia,
about the It'll; the quota from Georgia, con-
sisting of about 1000, will rendezvous at Ma
con, and as soon as tents and equipments
can be furnished them, will march direct to
Pensacola. Two regiments from Mississippi,
in all, about 100 men, are now on their
way to that point. They go by the way OF
Mobile, and thence across the country from
Blakely. The Louisiana regiment consisting
of over 1000 men, are now prepared to move
and will leave in a short time. There are
now 100 men at the spot which the "phiIo-
sophie" Greeley calls another Sevastopol,
and where he says the rebellion" is to be
crushed ont; and when the reinforcements
now on the way and preparing to move, reach
there, the whole number will amount to
5000 of as brave and gallant spirits as ever
determined to sacrifice their lives, if necessa-
ry, for the honor and independence of their
country Montgomery (ALa.,) ADVERTISER, March

virginla-rhat Vote.
From the Lynchburg virginian-

+ Mich has been said by our exchanges. es-
pecially those favorable to Secession, relative
to the vote in the Virginia sConvention upon
the Peace Conferences propositions
argue, therefore. that the measure would be
unacceptable to Virginia, and augur favora-
bly, for Secession. 1t is well known that the
majority report of the Committee which we
have no doubt. will pass the Convention, is
based principally upon the Peace Conference
propositions; removing some obscurities and
ambiguous ,phraseology, with the additio
proposition favoring a Border State Conyefi-
ton.
1t would be much more reasonable to as
sumo that the vote taken on Wednesday, up
on Mr.. Turner's RESOLUTIONS, which were Of
fered substitute for the report, indicated
a determination not to adopt an ordinance
of Secession. The proposition OF Mr.. Turner
was to submit conditions TO the Northern
States; and, in case. they should be referred,
the course of Virginia is foreshadowed in the
Following resolutions:
RESOLVED, That in case said amendments
shall not be approved by the Legislatures or
Conventions OF said States, on or before the
first Monday in October next, that then an
ordinance to the effect indicated in the follow
ing resolution. shall 90. into operation on the
third Monday in October next. -Hfr5E
Resotuea, That this Convention will adopt
an ordinance resuming to the State of Vir-
ginla the power heretofore delegated by her
to the Federal Government, to take effect on
the third Monday in October next, in case
the amendments indicated in the foregoing
suggestions are not approved by the several
States of the Union on or before the first Mon
day in October next. ~ % = 49, it
ResolUed, That the said amendments and
ordinance be submitted to the people of this
State, at the next general election, for their
approval or rejection.
These resolutions embrace, in substance,
the propositions of one of our representa-
tives. Mr.. Speed, and were voted down by a
vote of SO to 81; Mr.. Speed himself-we will
do him the justice to say-voting in the neg
alive. and against all the Precipitators. like
Harvie. Montague, Fisher. Goode d Co.
Leaving off perhaps, very few names of
those who voted with the majority, we may
fairly regard this as a test vote. We have
no fear, therefore, that an ordinance of Sc
cession can, either through the influence of
mobs or any other outside pressure,-be pas
sed through the Convention now.

isolated companies will be consolidated into

indispensable.
Another point about the provisional Ar

are only temporary appointments, acting as
such, while the service may require them. -
The Regular Army of the Confederacy is
entirely distinct from the provisional" 1t is
not yet organized. The officers of only two
Regiments have yet been appointed: soon,
the officers of four other Regiments will be
appointed. The organization is very similar
to that of the United States Army.
As soon as appointed, many of the officers
of the Regular Army will be ordered to the
Recruiting Service. And it is in this way
only, that the Regular Army will be raised.
As yet. it does not contain a single non-com-
missioned officer or private, while the Pro-
visional Army has thousands of men in the
field.

Officers resigned, OH account of secession,
from the Army of the United States, receive
appointments as of course. in the Regular
Army. Civilians are eligible; but the former
are certainly provided.
Applications, by civilians, for position as
Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons. in the Reg
alar Army, need now hardly be made. with
expectation of success. There IS only limited

sarily, will be given to resigned Surgeons
and Assistants from the Army of the United
States.
The Engineer Corps is, we learn, most in
accessible to civilians; probably, because there
are accomplished officers (resigned) from the

without being able TO state positively.

Position, for civilians, is next most difficult
of attainment, in the Artillery.

score or more popular errors, in regard to
our military organization. Those who feel
special interest in the subject will, of course,
notice the emphasis Of the foregoing. Doing
so may save good deal of trouble, as we
feel confident that our statements are accu-

A Correction from tennessee.

To the Editor of the ". Y. Tribune:
SIR: In your daily of the 10th of Februa-
ry, we find an article, purporting to be a let
ter from this place, in regard to public Opfn-
ion in Bedford county, in Tennessee, on the
subject of slavery. This letter does not speak
the sentiments of this community upon the
question to which it refers. 1t has produced
some excitement here, and numerous persons
have been suspected of its authorship, and
injustice may, therefore, be done individuals
who are or may be enormously suspected
We have two objects in writing this letter,
one is to vindicatc this community, and the
other to learn who the author is-not for the
purpose of inficting, by any means, any per-
sOAal violence on him, whoever he may be.
but that we may know who among US is mis-
representing public opinion so egregiOusly as
that communication does the sentiments of
the people here. We, therefore, respectfully
request you TO send US the original letter,
that we may know by inspection of the man.
uscript who the real author is. 1t may be in
the name of one person, and written by an
other. How this is, of course we do not
know.
If you cannot consistently with your sense
of propriety send US the original letter, write
US the name of the author.
We think we have, under the Circumstance
es, a right TO make the demand we do, and
hope you Will not refuse our request, either
of the letter or the name of its author. The
former we prefer. Let US hear from you up
on the subject.
Respectfully, your obedent servants,

On the whole, instead of furnishing to our
respected correspondents the manuscript or
the name which they ask for, it seems best to
publish their letter as corrective for the
previous publication of which they complain.
This sets the matter right with the public,
and exposes none to any serious personal in

The Tribune might have done the people of

A New Type-Setter.

Willis, in his last letter TO the Home Jour-
nal, says the machine .'to insert a pig at one
end and grind out sausages at the otherr is
| really "slow" in comparison with the new
| invention for setting types-a visit 10 which
was the object one of his recent walks in
New York:
| "Alden's type-setter not only can set
types as fast as eight men, but distribu ties, or
