ARMY BUDGET.
STATE SUPPLIES TO SOLDIERS.

The following ORDER was issued recently
from the Adjutant- Generals office:
Supplies furnished by particular States for
volunteers in the service of the United States
will be turned over to the proper staff de-
partment of the army, and issued, according
to law end regulation, to the troops Of the
States for which they were specially in
tended but as such supplies will eventually
be charged to the United States, any that
may remain in excess of the regulation of al
lowances may, when 30 directed by the
General commanding, be issued to any other
troops in the service of the United States
standing in need of them.
ARM BEARING MALE POPULATION.
While the male portion of the population
of New York State, between the ages of
eighteen and forty FIVE, capable of bearing
arms, is 766, 344, that Of the State of Penn
sylvania is $4,000.
PAY IN LIEU OF SUBSISTENCE.
According to General Order No. 25,
every volunteer is authorized to receive
fifty cents IN lieu of subsistence for every
twenty miles Of travel from his place of en-
rollment to place of muster. The Paymsster-
General, however, thinks that as this was
not paid to regiments which arrived before
the order referred to was issued, it should
not be allowed to any. The misunderstand-
ing upon this point has given rise to con-
siderable confusion, and some regiments
have refused to accept their pay until the
matter is adjusted.

VISITS TO VOLUNTEERS IN THE ARMY,

For the information of many persons who
come, at a great sacrifice of time, money and
personal comfort, to Washington, for the
purpose of visiting their relatives in the
army on the Virginia side Of the Potomac, it
is proper to state that, as General Mcclellan
considers such visits inconsistent with the
good of the soldiers, ss we'll as preiudicial to
the success Of the army generally, he has, by
positive orders, refused passes.
The constant communication of families
with their brothers, husbands and sons, is
prevented by the refusal, which in many
instances is the occasion of much painful en-
barrassment to the officer in charge as we'll
as to those who, after reaching Washington,
are without the means of providing for their
curiosity; but they incur needless expense,
as it can not be grati6ed. No passes are
granted, excepting in extreme cases where il
Is positively necessary. -

~We copy the following from the Rich
mond correspondent of the Crescent. Mr..
Jackson is we'll known to the sporting men
in this city. We are truly glad to learn that
he is recovering from his wounds:

known in New Orleans, particularly to the
turtles Whereabouts, volunteered as private

~It is well known that the chief point
made by the Northern press, by way of en-
couraging sakstments in that section, has
been that the South was weak, and without
danger or trouble their armies could march
from the Ohio or Potomac to the Gulf. They
tried it and have been defeated in all the
engagements that have assumed the proper
tons OF battles, and in at least two-thirds OF
the skirmishes- They now say that in every
one of these ''affairs," the South has had 8
vastly superior force 1t is little singular
that the South shOlld be so weak and yet
have superior numbers, by from two to FIVE
to one, whenever they have chosen to test
our strength. They would thus make Us the
strongest people on earth. The truth is that
it is alone owing to our superiority of incen-
tive, and, consequently, courage and proves
in holy cause, that Providence has given
rs our triumphs.

Kentucky ELECTIONS.

Full and complete returns of the late cleo
ton have not yet been published. Whilst it
is true that both branches of the Legislature
will contain large majnrities of what are
termed Union men, yet the returns published
show a large gain in the popular vote in favor
of the Southern Rights party. In hirty-nine
counties the official vote shows a clear gain
of about nine thousand over the June election,
in favor of Southern Rights. Counting the
gains in the same proportion in the counties
vet to hear from, aud the whole reach about
twenty-five thousand. This result has very
much surprised the Union leaders, and they
are attempting to do away with its effects by
charging that the Southern Rights candidates
deceived the people, and made them believe
that they were better Union men than the
candidates which they themselves had
brought into the field. The truth of the mat
ter is, the outrageous course of the Lincoln
Congress produced the change. Whilst the
Union leaders at home in Kentucky were cry
ing Justify for neutrality and peace, their
members of Congress were doing every thin e
in their power to keep up and carry on the
war. BY the time the first instalment on the
war tax is paid in Kentucky, the change will
be so great as to make the Union leaders
doubt whether they ever had party .-Russs2-

Federal Prisoners Sent Home.

The St. Louis Republican, of Tuesday, has
the following in regard to the arrival of dis
charged prisoners from Springfield, and af-
fairs in Missouri.
A company of men have just arrived in
town, who report themselves as prisoners
taken in the Springfield battle by the Con-
federstes. They say that over two hundred
prisoners are now under way from SPRING
field, having been liberated after taking the
oath. They desire Col. Wyman to give them
a wagon in which they can return and ac.
commodate some of the prisoners who have
been disabled from walking by the long
march.
They numbered about two hundred and
forty in all, belonging mostly to the Third
and Fifth Regiments, and few OF us to the
Springfield Home Guard. We were enclosed
which we had to roast ourselves. Only once
little -four was given to us. We cannot
complain of the manners observed towards as
by most of the men, and were particularly
well treated by Gen. Prices body guard. On
the 18th and 18th, some of the Confederates,
we were told, left Springfield for Warsaw, but
we are unable TO say whether they went to
occupy the place, or only to procure supply
of provisions
On the day when we left we were sworn
not to take up arms again against the South
ern Confederacy. The officers who were with
us were retained. They are treated well and
are out on parole. Their names are as fol-
lows Major Albert, of Siegei's Riaemen;
Lieut.. Shaefer, of Siegel's Artillery; another
Lieutenant of the Third Regiment whose
name we could not learn; Lieut.. Ingleberg,
of Company B. First Regiment; Surgeons
Hauessler and Franklin. We were escorted
by company Of Coniederates to the Jefer-
son City Road, and told thence to make our
way home What induced them to take Us to
that road we are not aware, although we have
our suspicious Net with good deal of Sc
cesslon feeling in Lebanon and Wsynesyille,

mr.. Faulkner,s Arrest.

The arrest of the Hon. CHARLES j. FAUX
NER continues to furnish a topic of specula-
ton and surmise to the public press. As the
Administration has not given any intimation
of the motive which prompted its step to-
wards that gentleman, there is of course no
authentic information 10 the premises, but we
presume there can be little doubt as to the
unreliable nature of one among the cousidera-
tons which are put forward in probable ex-
PLANTATION Of bis detention. We allude to the
rumor, that Mr.. FAULKNER expected to take
charge of q regiment in the service of the
Seeded States Immediately on bis return to
Virginia" We of course know nothing OF
the grounds on which this statement i made,
but when we remember the freedom of moves
ment allowed to officers of the United States
Army and Navy, who, in abandoning the ser
vice of the National Governments. were
known to do so with view of entering the
military service of the Confederate Govern
ment, we may reasonably presume that ngor
on this score would not be first exercised al
this late day towards civilian like MI.
