learn the following from gentleman who has just
arrived from Huntsville, Ala. He has communicated
with Mayor Henry OF this city, and will proceed 20
Washington tomorrow, TO give his Information TO the
Secretary of War. His yelacty s vouched for by
gentlemen in this city.
Nv informant states that he left Huntsville on the sih
ins and fifteen days prior to his departure from ten
TO fifteen car loads of troops passed through per day
destined for Dalton, Ga, to be formed into regiments.
After leaving Huntsville he stopped en- route, at
Decatur ard Athens, Ala, and at Memphis Tenn
At Randolph, sixty miles from Memphis, was bat
terry of twelve field pieces among them four rEed can
non, and in charge OF 500 men,
In Memphis there were concentrated from different
points over II 900 men, armed and equipped.
Over 10 900 troops encamped AT different loca
tious adjacent to Nashville; and last Thursday after
three regiments thousand strong each, len the
city to join those already encamped.
They contemplate dividing aud assisting in the pro-
posed attack upon Cairo and Washington simultaneously.
They firmly anticipate reaching Pennsy lgania, and Of
committing devastatioDs OH Maryland.
In Louisville Kentucky, the 10th inst, day aud
night the citizens were arming aud drilling to
all Secessionists.
From 5000 TO 1000 knights Of the Golden Circle
control everything. lHtr moto 10 Union, out ~ Hcds
union OF Kentucky to oppose the Federal forces.
At Decatur, Ala, my informant saw 1000 men under
command of young man named Yancey, nephew 70
w. L. Yancey. Tie men were being drilled by II
cadet from the Military School at Nashville.
Other cadets have been sent TO different parts Of the
South to discipline the recruits
Between Jeleroonve and Alliance he saw num-
Der of United States regiments who had received
deIs to march TO Washington. Their orders had been
countermanded and they were sent TO Cairo. Union
men dare not express their sentiments as they are i'm
mediately spotted. The press gang is in use.
Outrages are daily committed against Northern men
The cry is, either for against The Mississippi
regiments are all armed with Colts navy revolyers.
Each mau in the Southern army is provided with a
Dowe-knfe thirteen inches long and two inches wide.
One of them was just shown me, and upon the blade
we're the words /" Self.Protector." They cost S2J !
,ach and are terrible weapons.
1t was reported in the South that the gallant Seventh
Regiment had refused TO take the oath of allegiance.
This strengthens the rebels in the idea that upon
marching North, many Of the Federal troops would /
DIN them.
Colts revolyers are in abundance. The rebels are |
uy confident Of ultimate success, and laud the mock
resident everywhere because lie proclaimed his nten
ion OF dining in the White House or the 4th Of July.

To these expenditures may by added beside the
