: .
1t is stated that Gen. Lee, the COMMANDMENT.
Chief of the Virginia forces, has written to sew.
eral officers in the United States army whose
loyalty had been wayering counseling them not
to resign their commissions. 1t appears that the
officers who are serving in the army ofthe South
ern Confederacy are unable to get cent of their
pay, and those who have families depending up
on them are consequently reduced to state Of
the greatest distress and anxiety. What lends
confirmation to this rumor, is the fact that the
Navy and War Departments have had numerous
applications for reinstatement from officers who
had resigned.

MIA is terrific. The Pennsylvania troops are
ready to murder him. 1t lisa positive fact that
in certain regiment conspiracy against the
life of Gov Curtin was discovered several days
since. The men in two of the PENNSYLVANIA reg
inents have been very near mutiny. Said one
of them to me, "Why, sir, the very niggers in
the streets laugh and jeer at us, because we are
such set Of ragamuffins, and yet, Gov. Curtin
passes for an honest man. Whod'ye think made
the money out of the contract to equip our reg
iment? Seventeen dollars man was paid and
it did not cost four dollars man. would not
like to say mho made fortune out ofour wretch.
edness. for if did, might strike at a governor
or somebody as high as be is in position!" An
officer in the Fourth Pennsylvania regiment told
me only yesterday, that one of his men got
furlough to attend the funeral of sister few
DAYS ago, and when he got home, his father tore
off his ragged uniform from his back, and set to
work to get up one out of strong material He
did SO for The small sum of fioe dollars but when
he came back he had tie best Uniform in his com.
pany! At least two entire regiments were equip.
ped in this way by Gov. Curtin, or some of his
contractors AT least eight dollars per man was
stolen by these thieving functionaries. Hanging
is altogether too good for such men, if they are
guilty of what Pennsylvania officers charge them
with
