boro Rebel Banner Of the 22d, has The fol-
lowing paragraphs;
One by one The main avenues Of railway
and ielegraphic communication which we
enioycd before the advent Of Abolition rule,
are being rcopeucd. The railroad liue con-
, Meeting this place and Huntsville, Ala, has
been rcOpened, and traius are running
daily.
Tie train that left this place on Thursday
night encoun cred distractions near Nor
mandy Station, and was & rown from the

rp.
trouble it affords our militia and fnlroad
authoritles in the matter Of transportation.
| We understand tye railroad hence 10 Chat
! tanooga will be in full working order to-
! day.
One of the most hopeful signs Of progress
| in this depart ment OF The army is The COM
plele aud efficient reorganization Of the
cavalry wing. This entire branch OF the
service has been divided into two wings,
commanded respectively b. Gems wheeler
aud Wharton. The former commander al

| III advance aud from his orders it appears
| that he intends making II thorough leIr-
g2nzation OF the forces under lbs com
mlnd.
We have every reason to congratulate The
public aud ihc troops upon this change
At last il is evident that our numerous cay
airy forces are to be brought under proper
! discipline They have too long been under
the most lax and inefficient rule. Gallant
and enterprising as they may be, thcy have
lacked Il head. Now il comes to them.
They have only 10 orgo niac and report for
duty, and Gen. Wheeler, who is distln-
guished and efficient commander, will give
all OF the mounted men opportunities 10 dis-
tingush themselves.
