NEGROES In Missouri.

On the 9Th instant the Provost Marshal Gen.
eral of the Department addressed communi-
cation to Major Geneaal Curtis, stating that
certain slaves had applied to him for a paper
that could protect them from arrest or moles-
tation. They asked military protection, as
slaves who had been emancipated by the act
of Congress Of July 18th, 1862, on account of
the disloyalty of their master, who at this
time is in the rebel army, and upon this state.
ment the views and wishes Of General Curtis
were asked, that an answer might be given
in conformity to such instructions as he tho't
proper to give.
: The answer of General Curtis is as follows
HEADQUARTERS DEPT OF THE Missouri,
ST. LOUIS, December 8, 1862.
If negroes belong to rebels they are free. If
they run into our lines for safety, we are to
protect. It is competent for any officer to
Judge Of the status Of the negro. from available
testimony. By testimony I do not mean to
exclude such testimony as we usually take to
ascertain truth, and do not confne officers to
what is technically called legal testimony; but
the mere averment Of negro himself that he is
the slave Of rebel, should only be s.prima
faeis'' evidence of the fact, which may be trays
ersed by other proof. Provost Marshal Gen.
eral and Provost Marshals Of Districts NAV
certify as to the status of the negro, and such
certificate must be respected by all persons
within my command.

Major General.

his attention directed to the mud forts which

winter came only to convince them that the

IMPORTANT TO VoLUNTERRs.-It has been
decided blythe authorities at Washington that if
soldier is discharged before he has served
two whole years, or to the end of the war, if
sooner ended, he forfeits his 500 bounty
The back dues for wages, and fifty cents for
each twenty miles travelled from the place of
bis discharge to the place of enrolment, he
is entitled to on the pay certificates from his
nearest paymaster. If soldier is killed or
dies of disease before the end of two years or
the close of the war, he has under the liberal
construction Of the law, served to tie end of
war, so far as he is or can be concerned. Con-
gress intended by the provisions of the law
that no one should have the bounty until the
end of the war. The 500 bounty, By this
law, will be Immediately paid, SO soon as au-
dited.
Under an order and rule Of the war Depart
ment, there can be procured for the wives Of
soldiers imprisoned in the South the monthly
wages of the soldier to the date of allowance,
except the last months wages, which the Gov
eminent reserves. limo wife, the minor chill
dren, by guardian, are entitled. If the soldier
is unmarried, his widowed mother is entitled.
An important decision has been made by the
Secretary of war and Pyamsster General in
effect that a sol Tier is entitled to pay from the
day he enlists, and that he is not to wait un-
til his company is full, or the formal muster
of the regiment into Government service.

LATE EAST TENNESSEE NEws.-Mr. Robert
Carter arrived in this city night before last,
direct from Greenville. He reports very few
troops in Upper East Tennessee. All the
available force in that section of the country
had en..ordered to Tullahoma and Murfrees-
boro. An order had been issued for all the
cavalry in East Tennessee to report at Knox>
vile to be dismounted. There were some
three hundred cavalry in Hancock and Haw-
kins Counties, who gave out that they were
going to Big Creek Gap to occupy it; but Mr..
Carter thinks they were going to Knoxville to
be dismounted in pursuance of the order to
that effect. There were some four hundred
troops at Greenville, but they were under ord
ers for Tullohcma. There are some two regi.
ments at Kingston, Roane County, an heavy
force at Chattanooga. The rebel newspapers
say that their grand stand is to be made at
Tullahoma, and that only small force has
been thrown out at Murfreesboro as feint
and scheck to the Federal forces.
Mr.. Carter is reliable man, and it is per-
haps, to him and his devotion, that Colonel
Robert johnson owes his life, for Mr.. Carter
kept him secreted at his house and took care of
him for four months, after he had been pro-
claimed an outlaw by the internal edicts of the
bogus Confederacy. He also says that the in
habitants of East Tennessee are not responding
very readily to the Conscript Law, and that
the Confederacy have, just at this time, too
much business on their hands to enforce it,
That thousands Of Union men are scouting in
the mountains, determined to suffer any hard
ships of exposure, even unto death, before
they will be forced into secession ranks
