Interesting from the South.

The correspondence of the Philadelphia
Press announces the arrival in Washington of
Doctor Oliver, formerly of Wisconsin, and lat
terly an assistant surgeon in the rebel army.
His information is valuable.
He states that the entire white male popu-
lation of the South between the ages of fifteen
and forty, have been forced into the army.
The conscription there is reality. Numbers
who are in arms are doing duty unwiingly,
and would gladly get away from the tyranny
of the Davis autocracy.
DIR. Oliver has been in Richmond for the last
two months. The rebel force in Virginia is
estimated at fully two hundred and fifty thous-
and. They admit loss of ttcenty.fce hous-
and in recent battles. They are subsisting on
what is termed half rations, by which is meant
only the substantials, without any of the small
stores.
DIR. Oliver says the greatest depression he
observed was produced by the intelligence that
President Lincoln had called out three hun
dred thousand additional troops for service.
The opinion prevailed that if these troops
should be promptly furnished the rebel game
would be ended. They have exhausted their
resources for soldiers, and would be unable to
contend against a fresh army of this size.
Their only hope is that this call will not be
promptly responded to by volunteers, but that
there will be sufficient delay to afford an OPP
portunity for foreign Intervention before they
are forced TO give up.
The rebels have concentrated nearly all their
available troops at Richmond, except so much
of Beauregards army as stopped at Charles
ton and about $4,000 of the same army left in
Mississippi. The rebels are terribly afraid of
the gunboats. They reckon one gunboat equal
to a whole division on land.
They admit that the recent movement of

Aid to Families Of Volunteer.

Drummond, In reply 10 a letter from Gov.

construction given 10 the Law by the Attorney
General Is undoubtedly correct, and Munich
pal officers throughout the State will govern
themselves accordingly.
ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE,
Augusta, July Q, 1852.
To Hos. l. wAsHBuRN, JR., Governor.
My Dear Sir: In answer TO your request
In relation 10 the construction of the Act OF
March Is, 1852, entitled IAN Act in aid of the
families of volunteers" / have the honor 10
submit the following:
I. The aid is TO be furnished by the town
in which the person requiring aid is an inhab-
itdnt, at the time the aid is needed. The
illegal settlement of the soldier, upon whom
the person needing aid is dependent, has moth
ing whatever 10 do with the matter; nor has
the residence of the soldier at the time of his
enlistment When any one entitled to the
benefit of the Act referred to, needs the aid
therein contemplated, it should be furnished
by the city, town, or plantation of which such
person is then an inhabitant
2, The aid is to be furnished under the di.
rectlon Of the Seiectmen and not the Orerseer,
of the Poor. The 0verseers, as such, have
nopower to act in these cases. They can furnish
aid only under the pauper laws. The State is
under no obligation to refund any part of aid
furnished by the Overseers of the Poor, a.
such, and in my opinion, the Act referred te
does not authorize the Governor and Council
to allow any bills for aid thus furnished.
?. The amount to be refunded by the State
depends upon the number of persous relieved

urging the speedy and effectual suppression of
the rebellion; approving the general policy of
the national administration, and pledging Ver-
mont to furnish men and money to the last
extent of her ability; rendering hearty thanks
to the brave and patriotic soldiers in the field,
and thanking Gov. Holbrook for the prompt
manner in which he rendered to the President
Vermonts quota of 100000 additional soldiers.
Another resolution accepting certain special
acts of President Lincoln as pledges that the
government has put itself free from all COM
pcty with slavery, was, after an animated
debate, adopted with but few dissenting voices.

says:
1.-TWO ladies Of high responsibility, known
in this vicinity, arrived here from the North
day before yesterday. They were nearly
three weeks on the passage, but got through
without molestation. They report the peo.
pie of the North under strong discourage.
ment about the war /; and one Of them brings
assurance from Federal officer, in a not
unimportant position, that IL the South holds
out faithfully a little while longer, the North
will break down. They say they encounter
ed Morgan at Gallatin. and bis men sur
rounded their train. Morgan conyersed a
long time with the gentleman who acted as
their escort, and got the latest Northern
news. They say they learned, in Tennes.
see. that a mail bag from Buell. had fallen
into our possession. and dispatch from him
to the Lincoln War Department, found in
IL. saying that unless he was reinforced hea.
Willy. within a short time, his army would
inevitably be cut OF and destroyed.
