Herald's Dispatch

cessity which it is expected will be ex-
changed for cotton. This is new feature
in Government policy and may lead to
important results. Senator Simmons of
Rhode Island, has been the principal
mover in this matter. 1t may be these
vessels, and others now fitting out, will
also follow the expedition, and as soon as
an opening is made and permanent foot
ing obtained in South Carolina or Georgia,
cargoes of cotton will be at once shipped
to Liverpool and other points. This is
very important movement and has the
full sanction of the Government.
Gen. Halock has been assigned to the
command of the Department of the West,
and Gen. Buell. to Kentucky The Sc
lection of Hallock was made at the sug-
gestion Of Mcclellan, and it cannot be
long before the present condition of things
in that State, under this able and expert
enced General, will assume satisfactory
condition.
Worlds Special.
General orders have been issued direct
ing the punishment of certain death in
future to be visited upon any soldier found
sleeping on his post.
There is no little Indignation felt here
in official circles at the attempt of Gen.
Fremont friends to intimldate the Gov
ernment by the fabrication of dispatches,
public and private, respecting the state of
feeling in the Western army not warrant
ed by facts. If the report which reached
here be true, the Government at one time
had the alternative presented them of
meeting or dispersion of the Western ar
my unless Gen Fremont was retained in
command. 1t has been found that Fre-
mont's friends have been managing the
telegraph and newspaper correspondence
in camp. The correspondent of the st.
Louis Republican is known to be the au-
thor of most of the bogus dispatches,
and it seems that he has been riding and
living at the Government expense for
some time. 1t is said that he will be ar
rested
Tribune's Dispatch
The Government has contracted for the
manufacture of large number of the
best Springfield rifed guns, and also breech
loading arms to be made in this country.
These together with contracts authorized
abroad for immediate use will soon give
sufficient supply for all present and future
wants of the army.
Gen. Heintzelman, from the left wing
of the army, confirms the report that the
rebel troops are leaving the lower Poto-
mac and moving southwark, seemingly to
Carolina and Georgia, which is the looked
for effect for descent on the Southern
Coast.
Times Dispatch

on parole $50 prisoners, part of those cap
tured at Hatteras, to proceed South on
similar mission. If they succeed, $50
Union prisoners now in the South will
soon return to US. and the principle and
manner of full exchange of prisoners
will be fully established. The Govern
ment is about to send money, clothing and
comforts to Union prisoners in the South
if the Confederates cooperate in the
measure. An answer to such proposition
will be had from Richmond in few
days.
