From the 2ad Reriment.

A correspondent of the Mahoning Reg
lister gives these items from the-23d Ohio
"And now, q word in regard to recent
changes in this regiment and department
The promotion of Gen. Cox was received
with joy by those in his command. Col.

with the rank of Captain. Lieutenant
Colonel Hays is now Colonel, Major Comfy

formerly Captain of Company A, is now
Major, and commands the regiment during
the absence Of his superior officers. VIM.
S. Rice has been commissioned as Captain
and assigned to Company c. need net
say that this promotion was we'll earned
on his part. His conduct at South Noun
tain and Antietam fully demonstrated
that he was competent to lead men where
danger is to be faced. 1st Sergeant W.
H. Nessle and Commissary Sergeant VIM.
Mckinley, Jr, have been sent to Mahon-
ing county to recruit for the 23d. We
would recommend any young men desirous
Of enlisting to enlist in an old regiment,
and would refer them to either of these
young men for further information. Cyrus
Hubbard is acting Commissary Sergeant

By Colonel Els request we were transferr-
ed from General Crooks to General Scam

1t has been decided by the authorities at
Washington that if soldier is discharged
before he has served two whole years, or
to the end of the war, if sooner ended, he
forfeits his 500 bounty. The back dues
for wages, and fifty cents for each twenty
miles Travelled from the place of discharge
to the place of enrolment, he is entitled to
on the pay certificates from his nearest
paymaster. If soldier is killed, or dies of
disease, before the end Of two years or the
close of the war, he has under the liberal
construction Of the law, served to the end
of the war, so far as he is or can be con
cerned. Congress intended by the prov1s-
ions Of the law that no one should have
the bounty until the end of the war. The
500 bounty, by this law, will be immedi-
Gtely paid, so soon as audited.
Under an order and rule Of the War De-
partment, there can be procured for the
wives of soldiers imprisoned in the South
the monthly wages of the soldier to the
date of allowance, except the last months
wages, which the Government reserves
If no wife, the minor children, by their
guardian, are entitled. If the soldier is
unmarried, his widowed mother is enti-
tied.
An important decision has been made
by the Secretary Of War and the Paymast-
er-General in effect, that soldier is en-
titled to pay from the day he enlists, and
that he is not to wait until his company is
full, or the formal muster of the regiment
into Government service.

TREASURY OF THE UNITED STATES,

WAsHINGToNl ID. c. Dec. 8, 1862.
On Thursday last, the 4th instant, there
disappeared from this office package of
blank certificates of Indebtedness, of the
denomination of $1,000, numbered from
14,5O1 to $4,000, both inclusive. No GER
tifcates like these have ever been issued
from this Office, and none will ever be is
sued. The true certificates Of the denomi-
nation of $1,000 have their numbers writ
ten on their face in red ink, in the upper
corner, directly under the marginal border.
The words, "if the order to - be not
filed up, this certificate issued to -w will
be paid to bearer" are printed on the back
Of the certificates in red ink All that
have been issued since about the 1st inst,
commencing about the number II 800, have
the large denominations, $1,000, printed
on the face in red ink.
All certificates that will issue from this
Office in future, will be like those issued
heretofore. Those in the last package diff
fer from the genuine in having the words
above quoted, viz: " If the order to -
be not filed up, this certificate, issued to

the face of the certificate, beginning over
the vignette, and there taking the place Of
the border, and continued below on each
side, over the engraved denomination of
$1,000. The numbers are printed in on
each side, in red ink, under the 5000
smaller denomination. The large denom-
ination is in green ink. Certificates of
the denominations of $1,000, answering

What lady is there, that after reading
the subjOined extract, will not feel dOubly
repaid for her previous efforts to eOntri-
butte to the comforts of the soldier, and
redouble those efforts in the future7 We
doubt whether it will be read with eyes
free from tears by any one:
A gallant volunteer who was wounded
iu one Of our recent battles writes as fol-
lows: It was about five o'clock in the
afternoon when ] arrived at the hospital.
Soon after my entrance I was stripped
and bathed in q large tub Of tepid water,
shown to bed, and a nice clean white shirt
and pair Of drawers were given me. I
soon encased my tired anatomy in my new
wardrobe, and while doing so my eyes
caught sight Of the words, From the Wo-
mans Aid Society stamped in black ink
on each garment, laid down. pulled the
blanket over my head and thought Of my
situation. Here I am in q hospital, pros
trated with disease, worn out in body and
mind, over eight hundred miles from any
spot can call home. Ny own mother and
sister long since we're numbered with the
dead, but the noble.bearted women Of the
North--those angels Of mercy-are sup
plying the place Of mother and sister, not
only 10 me, but TO thousands Of suffering
soldiers from every State. Presently felt
two large tears eol.-sing down my cheeks
and running into my mOustache, followed
by myriads OF others dropping on the sheet
under my chin, forming innumerable lit
tie salt water pools. When well, 1 am
strong man, and it requires some sudden
and deep grief to bring me to tears; but
tears Of gratitude lowed from me that
evening as freely as drops Of rain from an
April cloud; and like a spoiled and fretful
child, cried myself to sleep"

Tho Rxodns ofsIavo Owners.

The Nashville Union says that the slave
owners of that region, fearful of the effects
of the Proclamation, are carrying their
slaves off to the South, and adds these
forcible comments:
awe have Our doubts whether these fu-
gitive masters will find the change for the
better. 1t looks to us like leaping out of
the frying-pan into the FIRE. What will
they do with their slaves when they get
them South. There is no work for them to
do, no cotton or tobacco to raise, and moth
ing for them to eat. 1t does not seem to
US that to collect hundreds of thousands of
restless, excited negroes together is exact
ly the best method Of securing and
strengthening the Divine institution of
Slavery, which is sanctioned by the Lords
Prayer and the Sermon on the Mount. To
use plain term, these rebel slaveholders
are a set Of asses they never were
troubled with much brains, and they have
improved very much of late, the wrong
way. If we wanted to stir up mischief
insubordination and the devil generally,
in the Cotton States, we would advise these
Shareholders of middle Tennessee, to do
justas they are doing Just let them pile
up their negroes, four deep, over Mississ-
ippi and Alabama, until these States look
like the deck of a SLAYER, and beyond
all doubt we shall speedily witness an ir-
repressible conflict compared with which
all other conflicts will appear tame and
spiritless. Who would have believed,
twelve months ago, that during a bloody
civil war, the rebel slaveowners, who have
always dreaded instructions among their
slaves, even when they were separated
from each other on isolated plantations,
would, at the most dangerous period of
the war, mass the SLAVES in one formidable
body, and thus render them immeasurabLy
more pol0erfuI to inFietiajury7 This is pre-
cisely what the rebels are doing. But We
have heard nobody object to their doing
so. If they can stand it, we guess we can
endure it, not only patiently, but com
fortably. In fact, we confess that we
rather like the movement The rebels are
kindly putting their heads close together
that we can soon sever them at one blow,
as if they had but one neck. Nor does it
require the gift of prophecy to foretell
what will follow in this State.
"These splendid plantations, whose area
is vast, whose fertility is unsurpassed, and
whose climate is delightful, will not be al
lowed to lie idle. An army Of hardy, en-
terprising immigrants from the Northwest
will soon pour in to fill the places left va
cant by the slaves"

1IoYements in the Southwest.

The occupation Of Grenada is q very i'm
portant movement, which cannot fail to
have great influence upon the rebel pros
poets. Grenada is situated at the junction
Of the railroads from Memphis and from
Holly Springs. It was not taken, howev-
er, either by General Sherman from the
former place, or by General Grant from
the latter. General HOvey left Helena,
Arkansas, with large force, sailed few
miles down the river, landed upOnthe Mis-
sissippi shore, and then struck inland TO-
wards Grenada. He struck the railroad
about six miles above that place, took up
the track and burned the bridges. The
rebels thereupon evacuated Grenada and
moved to the South. It-is reported that
the Memphis-Grenada Appeal has moved
this time to Canton, on the Central Mis-
sissippi Railroad, about twenty miles from
Jackson, the capital. Abiding to the an
tieipated attack Of McClernand by land,
and Farragut and Porter by water, the
Appeal uses the following significant Ian
guage:
GIf Government has neglected to pro-
vide for the emergency that will be surely
forced upon US, it viii permit blow to be
struck at q vital portion Of cur country,

rious as to be dangerous to all our purpos-

A New View Of the Ootfsn Question.
A late article appears in the Paris
Presse, which takes q new yieE. Of the
: cotton question in England, and attributes
the distress among operatives to speculs-
tors. The writer says that previous ts
visiting England he held the general
opinion that The distress in Lancashire
vas caused by the American war. His in
-quiries, however, led him to . diFerent
conclusion. He found that the crisis in
1sLaneaahire Wss caused BY gEHt in the
markst Of American cotton-an excessive
surfeit Of manufactured goods, during the
two years which preceded the rupture Of
the Union, Without this rupture, the dis
tress would have euYeloped the employers
5 and then the merchants and bankers, and
thus, BY the ruin Of some hundreds Of the
heads Of industry, it would have become
more terrible 10 the manufacturing pOpu-
latioR BY restricting the sources from
which charity has or may come. The
blockade Of the Southern ports was the
source Of enormous profit to these specula-
tors, in creating demand for what would
otherwise have been q drug in the market
They have policy in keeping up the cry
Of want Of cotton, but, in fact, interEen-
ton, and subsequent opening of the
Southern ports, is just what they do not
want In support Of this theory It is said
that the Proclamation produced only an
Insignificant rise, and the same is said of
the reports Of federal successes, and yet
each of these were commented upon as
likely to prOlOng the war. In refusing to
join France in interfering, therefore, the
English capitalists have looked to what
they consider their own interests.
This view Of the case is attracting con-
siderable attention in France and Eng
land.

Extensive Frauds upon the Government.
A Washington correspondent, speaking
Of extensive frauds upon the Government
and the efforts to detect them, says:
"GoVernment detectives have been sent
out in every direction, even to the extrem-
tiles of the loyal States. These officials
are where those upon whom they keep
watch least expect. They may be intro
duced, or introduce themselves, and par
ticipate in social circles, intTude unlimited,
60 where two or three are congregated TO-
gether, listen in hotels, restaurants, ETC.,
60 to theaters or places Of public amuse-
ments, stand on the corners Of
streets, call in public Offices, and
all the time are taking notes of
what is said or done. They have often
slept in the same room with those whose
acts they were espying, either as stran-
gers or in apparent social friendship.
When the proper time arrives and the
bird is fully set, it is bagged and carried
of, TO undergo investigation. No warrant
is shown and no authority save that Of ar
bitrary power Hence it will be well for
those who know they cannot present q
clear record to be on their guard hereaf-

Activity at Burnside's Headquarters.
A correspondent of the Tribune writes

A correspondent Of the Tribune writes
as follows:
HEADQUARTERS OF GENERAL BURNSIDE,
Dec. s. 1862.
"Again repeat, that General Burnside
will not disappoint the army, the admins
trstion, or the loyal people at large-at
least so far as keeping the Army Of the
Potomac in motion.
To-day has been an active one, in
every department. One grand division is
on the march, and you may soon expect to
hear from it, in close conflict with the reb-
els. Another one has been reviewed to-
day, and q close inspection made of the
fighting condition of the troops. The
third has =slreedJ undergone In
spection, and is momentarily expecting
marching orders. All the heavy reserve
artillery, too, seems to be in motion. The
pOntoon train and Engineer Brigade have
disappeared from the vicinity of head
quarters; where they or any other portion
of the army have gone, shall not for the
present inform you. Perhaps you may
learn by telegraph, before this reaches you,
what movement is on foot; if so, all will
be right; but I, for one, shall keep my
pfghted word. Everything for the next
three days, will depend upon the profound
secresy Of the movement. Over across the
Rappahannock, the seal will be broken and
the public will soon learn all they should
know of what the Army Of the Potomac
has been doing"

Radical Change in virginin.


A correspondent Of the New York Times,
writing from Burnside's army, who has
made a recent visit within the rebel lines,
says that remarkable change has come
over the people Of Northern Virginia with
in the last three months. GThen every
one you met-man, woman and child-Was
an active Secessionist, boldly avowing and
urging their right to adopt the reasonable
course being pursued. To-day iti Just as
difficult to find an open Secessionist out
side Of the army as it was before to find
Union man. Even the wemen, who have,
in fact, done more than sll the laws under
which the JEFF. Davis Confederacv is gov
erned TO fill up and bolster up the dempr-
allied army, are beginning to feel, as the
good housewife does sometimes, that their
cake is sll dough-" Secession unleavened
by The influence of woman is sapped of all
vitality. The children, TOO, who two years
ago were taught to practice treason and
put on the hated insignia, are beginning to
follow their natural inelinations, and now,
IN some instances, are found wearing the
eagle upon their breasts, and denying when
asked, that they are Secessionists. The
men every where are disgusted with the
war.
"There is no longer to be heard the talk
of the desperate among the people, old or
young; but it is rather the language of
culprits, dreading the punishment they
fear may come upon them for their mis-
deeds. This change in feeling has been
mainly brought about by the Emancipa-
ton. That was the first intimation to the
people of the South that the Government
really was in earnest in its attempts to
crush the rebellion. Since that day, every
negro in this section of Virginia has been,
to all intents and purposes, FREE. Farms
are now cultivated, and other branches of
industry 20 on as before, by the aid Of col
ored hands, but their labor is paid for,
for well, too-for the average
wages received by the ex-slaves is Sl2 per
month. One man who did own, one year
ago, $50 head of niggers,n now cOnfesses
that BE- likes the Emancipation Proelama-
tion, because it makes the niggers" work
better. Those who have remained with
him are paid literally, and he is satisfied"
