RELAXING.

From the following order, it viii be seen that
the Federal authorities at Memphis are some
what modifying the ~stringency heretofore prac-
tice,a They have found, in all probability, that
their previous policy has proved as detrimental
and inconyenient to themselves as TO the citizens
in ald around Memphis:

Gen MORGAN continues his successful move

cupying a position not very far from Cincinnati.
The people Of that city are thoroughly alarmed,

There is nc doubt Of the fact that he Federals
have abandoned the idea Of taking Yicksburg by
water. The lower feet has gone down the river,
having passed Natchez some days sincR. The
upper feet has also moved oUt Of sight. The
general supPOsiion is that they intaDd to wait
for the cooperation Of 5 large land force.
Yicksburg has proveda stumbling block to the
invaders, who hsye learned that the Mississippi
Is not yet open snd its successful defense
should cause q blush Of shame to mantle the
cheeks Of those who SO Ingloriously caused pc
Eitons equally as strong above to be abandoned

that he =" viii lay down certain rules for the con-
duct Of the war which will be joyfully executed

The PRIsOEERs.-The number of prisoners
who he'd arrived in the city at the time of the
publication of the official report in the Enquirer,
a few days subsequent to the last Of the recent
series of battles below Richmond, was about
four thousand. We stated at the time that several
thousand more were on the road aud in the hos
pitfalls below the city. Nearly all Of these have
now been brought in, and sum up about four
thousand more, making an aggregate cf about
eight thousand. Three thousand Of these are
still in the Libby prison, and the remainder have
been removed to The camn st Belle Isle. Wren
the returns shall have been Completed, it will
be found that our estimate some time ago was.

General Mcclellan Reinforced.

The National htelligeucer of the 17A says /:
It is with much qualification that we hear of the.
arrival in Hampton roads of another body of
effective troops, being the division of General
Stevens, from South Carolina, and intended,
doubtless, to reinforce the army operating
against Richmond. This division, which, after
its long service in South Carolina, cannot be
presumed to be very strong in numbers, arrived
in Hampton roads on Tuesday last, or board the
ford. 1t is said to consist, in part, of the 10Th
New York, 50th Pennsylvania, 9th Michigan,
9Th Pennsylvania, 28th Massachusetts, 9Th
Connecticut, and of two batteries of artillery.
All the sick and disabled men of the command
were left behind.

~ Congress, after appropriating $500, 000,-
coo and passing a medley of homogeneous acts,
unconstitutional and oPpressive-says the Al
bany A~fgus-has adjourned. The country is
relieved, as from a nightmare. Never before did
50 unworthy a body of men meet in E crisis like
the present. The condition Of the country called
for wisdom, forbearance, energy, sacrifice. This
Congress gave the f%atulent speeches Of politi
clans, the violence of d~emsgogues, the plots of
intriguers. The army and the people have stood
for a year with an enemy in front-the rebels
and an enemy in the rear-the Congress.

The army er the eetemae.

From the Cincinnati Gazettel
One of the most dismal and discOuFsging pic
lures Of tho war Is that developed officially in
the Senate on Wednesday. These facts have
already been laid before the public through our
columns but now that they are officially pro
mulgated, they must strike the loyal people with
double force. The army Of the Potomac was
| originally 100000 strong. Prior to the 9TH Of
April, according to the testimony Of the assist
ant secretary of war, Tucker, Mcclellan had
/ 10000 men at Yorktown. Subsequently,
Franklin's division, 1900 MeCal1s division,
| 1900; II, 0G0 from Baltimore and Fortress
Monroe, and Shields division, 3 1000, were sent
to him, making a total Of I5S,OOO. Gems. Meigs
and WadsTorth testified that Mcclellan had all
he asked for. Only nineteen regiments were
left to guard Washington. The correspondent
Of the Commercial telegraphs that the response
bility for Balls Bluff IS divided between Stone
and Mcclellan yet Stone was sent TO Fort War
rem, while Mcclellan has been suffered to hold
in his hands the destinies Of this great nation.
It is known that the President said, on his re-
turn from James river, that Mcclellan could
account for only half tho men sent to him. OF
the lJ-. 600 brave men no had upon the PENN
suIa, only 50 1000 were effective when the battles
commenced and when he finally. landed on
James river, only G0,GO0 could be mustered tor
active duty
Thus from the time he landed at Yorktown
to the beginning Of the great battles he
lost, it seems, in various ways, $4,000, and
between the landing and close Of the seven
days fighting, 9S,00O out Of 15S, 700 had been
killed, had died in tie the swamps, or had by
sickness been rendered unfit for service. These
are the facts, as they are now before the country.
The picture, we repeat, IS the most dismal and
discOuraging that could be presented. It is
s;ckeuing to think that the finest army the
world ever saw, should have been thus sacrificed
and nothing accomplished. These develop
ments relieve Secretary Stanton from the
charges made against him by the p~artisans Of a
general who has in less than a year, lost nearly 4
100000 out Of 100000 men, without accomplish
ing anything leaving the rebels stronger and
the government weaker in Eastern Virginia
than they were SIX months ago. And We have
authority for saying that Secretary Stanton
stands higher with tho President now than at
any previous time cad experience having
made plain the wisdom of the policy and the
plans that be favored. The people who have
been misled by q blind or unscrUpUlous press,
will not be slow to do Justice 20 Mr. Stanton.
lie viii rise higher in the estimation of the loyal
people, from the gross and uudeserVed abuse
which has been beaped upon him.
In view of the facts presented, it is not
that the people should demand q new
policy. Il would be strange, indeed it
would be criminal if the voice of the people
did not rattle, in thunder tones, around the ears
Of the President, for new men to direct affairs in
the field, and new measures to govern the con
duet Of the war.

THE FIELD.-MoYsments in Tennessee and
Kentucky augur well. The panic 10 Nashville
and Louisville shows the terror with which the
enemy always contemplates aggressive actions
by our armies. We accept the demonstrations
in the West as a promise that the war is to be
pushed with vigor at all points. The late as
surance of the President, that our standards are
to be borne beyond the confines Of the Confsd-
eracy, sent a thrill through the country. We
expect to hear soon that one of cur most ener-
getie, intrepid and successful leaders has made

ENLIsTMENTs IL PHHADELPHIA-The Phil

says
The various regiments in process Of formation
in this city are using every exeriOn to fill their
ranks to the required standard, in order to DO
accepted under the late call for 100000 troops.
The authorities desire to have men sent, as fast
as recruited, to Harrisburg, IN squads. But the
enlistments are not such Is to warrant the be-
lief that the quota of Pennsylvania viii be made
up rapidly, unless some additional inducements
are offered by the g%overnzsnt or State authon-
ties.

SOME OF II FRUITs-We understand that
the amount of arms and ordnance stores that fell
into our hands on the recent battle fields, and
especially in the vicinity of Psmunkey river,
near the White House, will amount to the hand
some sum CT $4,000. goo. An ordnance officer
left Richmond yesterday, to see to their care and
adjustment. In the vicinity of " Seven Pines -
the destruction Of the eneEy's stores IS described
as being immense.
Sugar, rice, coffee, teas and -four, were piled
up several feet high, ready to be burnt, but for
want of time, OF fearing such s mass would not
burn well, the enomy saturated the pile with
whiskey. Even with this infsmmable scent to
aid the work of destruction, the stores did not
burn as was expected. Its value, however, has
been materially impaired.
Our boys, we hear, finding that tho sugar was
~impregnated with something stronger than
water, d~evourcd it with a gusto, and as might
have been anticipated, became very jovial over
the sugar and its peculiar Misunderstanding
Express.

THe Property OF Gen. Twiggs in New Or

The Property OF Gen. PW5ygs IN New Or
leans.
Among the late items Of Northern Intelligence
we find the following in reference to the confs-
cation Of Gen. Twiggs' and Col. A. C. Myers
property in New Orleans, by the tyrant Butler {:
C-oNFfsCATIoN OF GEN. TWIGGs' PROPERTY.
Gen. Butler has seized the dwelling house Of
the traitor, Gen. David Z. TWiggs, Trytenia
street, and is having it prepared for his oceupa-
ton as G residence. He has also coniscated all
the other property Of Gen. THiggs, aud also
that Of Col A G. Myers, the son-jnlaw Of Gen.
Twiggs. Myers was an officer in the regular
army If the United States, and is now quarter
mastergeneral Of the rebel army.
Gen. Butler rays that for rebels upon whom
the government has had no special claims he has
some consideration, but if he can catch one of
these who have been educated, fed and clJthed
at the public expense-men the very meat on
whose bones belongs to their couutYy-he will
hang him as high as Hamsn.
Those familiar with the history of Gen. Twiggs
will remember that after the war with Mexico
he was presented with three elegant swords
one by Congress, one by the State of Georgia,
and one by the cityof Augusta, Ga. The night
of the 23d of April, Just before the fleet passed
the forts, Gen. Twiggs carried his sword aud his
silver plate to the house Of one Of the weslthiest
ana most 2ElSJOcTatlc laUlueS IN tins city, and,
as the members Of the family say, presented
them to one of their family.
Mrs. Col. Myers also sent her plate and Jew
olry to the same house. The next day she and
Gen. Twiggs fed from New Orleans. General
Butler, learning the whereabouts OF the above
property, instructed Col ETerch, provost mar
shall, to have the house searched. The colonel
detailed Lieut.. Thos. Burt, one of his most DO
lite and efficient assistants, for this delicate duty.
Lieut. Burt performed this service very carefully
last Wednesday evening, and the next morning
the swords and all the silver were brought TO
Gen. Buffers headquarters. The swords are
very beautiful, and of superb workmanship.
They win be sent to Washington by the United
States army dispatch steamer Mcclellan. It
seems to me that Congress could not show it's
appreciation Of Gen. Buffers distinguished ser
vices siEce the very commencement of this war,
than by presenting him with One|of these
swords.
