The rebels have disbanded thcr gueras and partisan
compelling them 10 serve with their regular army
and Pemberton has been compelled " fall back the
highways and have been cleared and coton has
poured into the city m great quantities during tho last
few days Indeed great hAs been tho rush that do
cline c from one 10 four cents per pound has been sub
mitted TO.
The cotton trade Inns had ts due effect upon cur.
reney. The time was, and not remote when Ten.
nessec bank notes were thirty-thres per cent under
greenbacks" and other Southern bank notes quite as
far below Tennessee money Now all this IS changed.
Tho people who bring their cotton show their confidence
the OF the Southern States ana prefer them
any other sort Of currency The consequence s that
Tennessee money quoted at seven per cent pre-
MUM over "greenbacks," and southern bank notes,
such Alabama South Carolina and Georgia, are now
worth eighty five cents the dollar Specializing in cot
ton is the most lucrative business man can engage
and there IL scarcely merchant or an operator who
does not take chance.
II seems TO be generally conceded that Governor An
drew Johnson will order election in Tennessee at
early day but should he fail Of doing from any cause,
psope Of this Congressional district determined TO
in the Congress of the United Saies and
will proceed " provide for themselves u "modo and
box. Tennessee has parted company with tho rebels
forever.
