The rgiIilnry transportation Bim.

The bill recently passed by Congress to pro-
vide for the prompt and uninterrupted transpOr-
tatiou of troops and munitions of war, over rail
roads, authorizes the appointment of military
chief of railroad transportation, with the rank of
lieu;euant-cOIonel This officer is to hold his
office at the pleasure of the President, and to
have a salary of five thousand dollars per year.
The military chief is required to divide the rail
roads of the COnfederacy into not less than two
nor more than four districts, over which shall be
appointed military superintendent. This Off
Ger ranks as major, has a salary of sixteen hun
dred dollars per annum, and holds Office at the
pleasure Of the President.
The acting president and superintendent of
each railroad are to be the local military superin
tendents of such railroads. and are to have the
rank of major and captain respectively, but
without any compensation as such Road mas
ters and conductors are to have the rank, but not

The military officers of the railroads are to

ALL A LIE.-The report that has been extern
sively circulated by certain individuals, that
Col. Vaughn had burnt the dwelling houses of
the people of Morgan and Scott counties, and
turned women and little children out of doors,
is every word a lie. A gentleman who was in
the expedition informs us that Col. Vaughn's
order was that no dwelling was to be burnt
under pain and penalty OF death. No clubhouse
was fred where it even endangered a dwelling
house neither was the soldiers allowed to enter
or take anything from them. 1t was only the
out-houses that contained forage that were
destroyed. This Col Vaugn done in comp6-
ance with an order from superior officer. So
