The army is settling down TO its Sumner rest
There can be no longer any doubt upon this subject
From day 70 day the indications OF fixed purpose
on the part Of Gen. Hseck to postpone further in
vason Of the Cotton States until after the hot season
has passed away become more conclusive, In the
course Of a week the several corps will have reached
the respective points assigned TO them along the new
base of operations. viz: the Memphis and Charleston
Railroad from Memphis to Chattanooga. Before tho
end of the present month the late grand army Of the
West will have sunk into q long Sumner lull-cOm.
placentlv contemplating the efforts Of Generals
and armies in the East 10 finish up their share Of the
somewhat helated Spring work aud extend the wall
Of Union bsyOnets from Chattanooga 20 the North
Carolina coast and confniug lis own eSer'ion' to
keering as cool, quiet, and we'll fed as possible.
There is not tue slightest probability that the Suu-
mer Tepose Of any part OF Gen. lt.Iechs army Will
be disturbed 10y the RebelGa, all events, lot along
the NJ. & &. Il. X. The distance between DOR
forces and Beauregards runawsys is daily growing
beautifully greater, and at this writing II Is probably
no less than eighty miles. The shOrt-hved era OF
aggressive warfare is terminated with Gen. Beau
regard. No more dashes are likely TO be made by
HIM. lie will find it no more practicable to cam
paign against us in the glare Of the Southern sun,
and through the fwamps Of Central Mississippi than
we do TO operate against HIN.
! Upon the whole, il seems to be well that the army
has now GONE weeks, if not months, OF rest before
it. The inherently lax discipline of volunteer sol
Gen. Halleck's forces, by the abandon, weakening
of authority and loss in numbers incidental 10 active
campaigning, aud 1t s but the truth that an organ
ization and Te-estabshnent OF stronger bands OF
order than now exit il indispensable aud will, in
the end greatly promote the public interest. The
coming relief FROM active duty IN the field viii not only
enable the arms TO rid itself OF its present looieness
of discipline, bat also TO refill s sadly ttinned ranks
by curing the tens of thousands now the sicks',
and gathering I'D the many additional thousands that
/ how by af n
/ from their respective corps and are scattered in
FOWL and country along the routes followed by the
different divisions. II the Summer be well improved,
/ Gen. Halleck can open the Fall campaign with al
army stronger vi numbers, and more efficient IN
every respect, than that be employed in his Spring
operations-an army that will in few weeks, sweep
Alabama and Mississippi clear OF Rebel iorces with
ont making additional draft Oh the North for men,
! That the Spring campaign Is over 10, If by no
other evidence, proved by the fact that leaves Of Gb
sence are granted, even TO parties holding the
most important posi'ions. 1bus Gen. Pope left for
the North last night on iurlough OF thirty dave.
Gen. Davis is also temporarily relieved of the COM
mand OF his division 20 enable him TO visit home.
Your welknown fellow-citizen, DIR. w. ".
Strew, has been appointed Medical Director Of the
three divisions constituting the garreon OF COrintb
and placed in charge OF the arrangements for the
establishment Of general hospital at this point
. He has already taken possession Of some Of the
most comm0dious buildings, including the "DGugh-
ters College" and will in II lew days have accom-
modaiions Tor several thousand patients. There is
no more active, humane, and experienced medical
man in the army than Surgeon Strew, and no better
selection could have been made for the important
position.
There is a great scarcity of sanitary stores at this
point, especially OF tuch delcaclcs as preserved
, fruits wines &C., that are welcome 70 the sick
. and in view Of the large number Of patients now
concentrating here, come consignnenls of like sri-
Giles from yOur associations for the relief Of the army
would prove most timely. All that are directed
TO Surgeon Strew Cornth, Miss, are sure to reach
. their destination.
The appeal made by Gen. Halleck to the benevo-
lent in the North in behalf Of the distressed native
population Of this vicinity, met with ready re-
sponge. Information WAS received here to-day thai
a boat load OF provisions already on the way
to rit,sbuTg Landing from st. Louis. While do
not believe the restitution TO be 20 general repre-
sened IL yet certain that hundreds Of people have
already been compelled 10 apply for relief 10 save
themselves from outright starvation They are not
lexacty poor. but tie Rebels having stripped the
country entirely Of everything in the way Of food
and forage, even money will lot buy anything, for
the simple that there Is nothing for sale.
Many are anxious and would prefer TO procure sup
plies from the CommissSry Department, and pay for
them. Unfortunately, their money conssts almost.
exclusively Of rebelhous paper currency, such as
Confederate Treasury and Mississippi cotton notes,
the promises to pay of private individuals etc. all
Of which -, Of courfe, ailable with Uncle Sam
agents.
/ Passenger trains are now regularly running from
this point, west. TO Urwas station, II miles; east
70 Iuka, - miles; north TO Jackson and HUMBOLDT.
Communication with Grand junction IL also estab-
lished by traius to jackson the VI and o. Il. r.,
thence south over the Mississippi Central. Citizens
are carried at the rate Of four cents per mile. The
probability now that the cars will first run to
1 Memphis via Humboldt and the Memphis and Ohio
Railroad. Little is reported 10 be destroyed on the
latter road, while on the Memphis and Charleston,
between Grand Junction and Memphis, all the i'm
