THE MISUNDERSTANDING SIGNS.

As heretofore surmised by us, says the
Memphis Appeal, the descent of Morgan upon
Gallatin, Tenn, was but the indication of a
general movement of our armies in Tennes-
see and Kentucky. If the intelligence which
reaches US through Federal sources be true,
Humphrey Marshall, Kirby Smith and Gen.
Bragg are all in motion and at work. Fed
eral Morgan is said to be hemmed in at Cum
berland Gap; Buell. is in " bad FIX" and
Nashville, Lexington, Frankfort and Louis
vile are seriously threatened. Most. if not
all, of these places WILL in all probability, be
occupied by our forces during the present or
coming week.
This looks like recovering lost ground. and
should rally every able-bodie man in the
country to the rescue. We now have the
enemy on the run; let US give him no time to
breathe or blow. Follow him like blood
hounds until he is driven across the Ohio
Let US teach him such a lesson in the chase
that he will be 10th to invade our soil again
To protect our homes, our rights, our prop
erty, our country from pillage, and our sacred
honor, million of men can readily be thrown
into the field. Why may we not have them
Now is the time to strike the enemy an
effective and telling blow. We have his
forces in Tennessee pretty well surrounded,
if not eheckmated. Let the people every
where rally to the support and assistance of
our generals in the field, and our country
will in a few weeks be freed from the loath-
some presence of the despoiler

THE PRODUCE LOAN.

The planters referred to advertise
nent in our paper headed 9 Confederate Pro-
duce Loan"
Perhaps there are many complications con-
corning this loan which some are unable to
understand. In all such instances, the agents
of the Government, c. W. Wood and w S.
Bailey should be consulted.
1t seems that when this loan was first can
vassed and subscriptions asked, many olant-
ers became obligated for certain am, ITS
that owing to the state of the markets, Id
more especially the market for cotton, the
Government did not call upon planters to
redeem their pledges as socn as was expected,
and that in the interim many planters sold
70 other parties that which they had pledged
for the use and benefit of the Confederate
States. The planters are no less under obi
cations to the Government, and now that her
agents in the market asking that the
planters redeem their pledges, it is to be
hoped they will do so with alacrity
Tie planters may think they are called
upon to do more than their share in this
that no other class are so vitality interested
as they are. Their laads, negroes, and prop
erty of every description is in the scale, and
in the event of our failure to achieve inde-
pendenee, if not entirely confscated, will be
rendered almost valueless to them

MISSISSIPPI AND THE WAR.

Mississippi mas furnished forty-four regi.
ments of infantry, eight of cavalry, and NOR,
than two regiments of artillery, for this war
By the CONSUMPTION law, infantry regiments
must number 1925 men cavalry not less than
1000, and artillery at least 700. The num-
Der of field pieces we have IN the service il
128. In this enumeration partisan rangers
and militia are not included, because they
are irregular.
From this data we sum up that our State
has over $4,000 men in the field and in camps
of instruction, engaged in the contest for
freedom and fame.
When we consider that the voting popula-
ton of the State is only $4,000, and that the
white population is not over half million,
the patriotism of our people appears in truly
brilliant colors. We have not furnished any
great generals, it is true, but our great Pres
ident is from Mississippi; and we notice that
no matter where Mississippi regiments have
been engaged, they have fought like tigers,
and won imperishable reuown.
1t is a well known fact that the enemy
regard the Mississippi troops as furious dew
lis in battle, and have never claimed that
they had any g Union friends . in this State
There is yet another class in our State who
have offered everything upon the shrine of
liberty. Need we say that we alIude to the
women of Mississippi They have encour-
aged the men engaged in the conflict with
language and deeds as eloquent as did the
Queen Mother of the Gracchi.
Even our slaves despise the Yankees, and
when told of their depredations upon private
property, ask their masters why they don't
go and whip the rascals out of the State.
So far as Mississippi is concerned, the
Yankees will have bitter and unrelenting
foes to fight for one hundred years, if they
choose to continue the contest sc long. Il
is rugged soil, and the adage is very old,
that !" the sons of rugged soil are able and
always willing to defend it,"
We speak more particularly of Mississippi
and the war, because we are more familiar
with the subject. But at the same time can
dor constrains US to admit that other States
of the South are just as patriotic, and have
as freely offered their sons-have poured out
their blood and treasure as unstintingly as
we have DONE
The Yankees have already drenched the
land in blood, and have conquered nobody. |
They have yet literally to "sail through /
bloody seas" before they win the much COW
eted prize

That Matter of Intervention.

The latest news from Europe would lead
US to believe that American matters are re-
ceiving the serious attention of the great
powers. At least, France and Russia pur-
pose doing something. One rumor says they
intend to propose to England to interfere
conformity and offer mediation, and in the
event that is rejected, to intervene them
selves by demand for cessation of hostili-
ties. The English-while they necessarily
denounce the Yankees in worse language
than we do-still insist that they cannot
effect anything by offer of mediation.
The conduct of these powers is so strange
and contradictory that we are left to sonjec-
ture if they intend to act at all, their action
will be that of duplicity. One thing, how
ever, is very evident, and that is-Lincoln's
Government has not the friendship of sin
gle nation of the world, unless it be the little
negro kingdom of Hayti. President Abra-
ham and President Gafrard are precious
pair.

I1E" The letter of our "Cosmopolite +"
friend had devious and winding way in
coming hther from Richmond, judging from
the length of time it was in making the trip.
1t was written on the 18th of August and
was not received until the night of the 9th.
1t was welcome, however, when it did come,
and probably lutte more so on account of
its having been SO long looked for. We beg

Baton Rouge, to his wife in this county:
Maj or DeBaum, the commander of our reg
iment, is one of my warmest friends and the
jolliest of fellows. He and /, notwithstand-
ing our many hardships, have great deal of
fun, AID you would be surprised to see the
merry life we lead, though near the enemy
and hourly in danger. But | think the Yanks
are going to leave US; at least they are re-
ported evacuating Baton Rouge We drove
their pickets in yesterday at g double
quick" captured about one hundred head of
horses and seventy-fve beeves. They threw
their shells at Us in every direction, and so
terrified were they at our approach that they
turned out all the convicts and told them to
go to the boats for safety. One of them es-
capped and Is now in camp with US They
say Baton Rouge is not worth holding. More
+" sour grapes" / think the Mississippi val
ley will soon be in our entire possession.
They have destroyed by fire the greater part
of the city Of Baton Rouge, and are packing
up all the fine furniture, &c, of the citizens
and shipping to their own families, North

Condition OF Gen. ITooker.
SPECIAL TO THE POST.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2S.-Gen. Hooker's
furlough expired yesterday, and he re-
ported to the War Department His
foot is not yet in condition to render
it quite safe to go into the field Cir
cumstances may be such as to render his
presence with his division necessary,
even at the risk of serious consequences,
but it is said his Surgeon objects to his
going into the field for another forts
night
The complaints that have been made
in many of the regiments because of the
non-payment of monthly dues, and the
lack OF suitable clothing, will now be
supplied, as the President is determined
that our soldiers shall be we'll clad and
promptly paid, and the proper depart
ments are busy attending to .requisi-
tons. This applies to the troops in the
West as well.

Dragging by Gen. Bragg.

New YoRK, October 2S.-Gef Bragg
has furnished an official report of the
battle Of Perryville, in which he claims a
great victory, which he says only for the
approach of night, would have been
completed by driving our troops from
their position. 9Eg 10
A dispatch of the oath says Bragg
army has retired to safe position,
which it would be imprudent to state.
Gen. Bragg, it says has secured 400
wagons loaded with provisions, which he
has brought away with his army He
lost $500 barrels pork, which he left at
Lexington, and which fell into the hands
of the Yankees.
Great dissatisfaction was felt by many
of the officers of Bragg's army at the or
der to fall back, and many Of them lit.
orally wept when the order was given.
The conclusion to be drawn from all
the news in our possession, continues
the dispatch, that Bragg has either not
such an overwhelming force of the enc.
my and successfully sretreated before it
with large stores of provisions, or that
he has been too timid, and made forced
marches and fought and wearied his
troops for an object which he had not
daring to accomplish.
