a large force. said to number 10. 600, left this
place OH an expedition not named, the desti.
nation being contraband. The troops left in
boats for down the river, and it is therefore
probable that they are to assist in the clear.

structions. The 3lst regiment was At Mem
phis on the 18th, on its way to Helena. The
passage was being very lons and tedious
one, the boat being very h. avily laden and
sticking Upon bars every little distance. The
regiment has pronably reached Helena ere
this, but whether it is to remain there to gar.

which it APPEARS that the total number Of

regiments, making the total aumber to lie
furnished under all acquisitions. 9,405. OF
this number, the State has furnished AZ. 335,
which leaves yet to be raised, to fill up old
regiments. 7,07l. A statement is published
showing the quota Of each county. together
with the actual number furnished, showing
whether the county be in excess or deficit
From the table it appears that tho quota oi
this county. under all calls. is los, and that
it has furnished 823, showing . balance in
our favor of 2ls men. Consequently there
will be no draft in this county. The quota Of

BURNsIDE,s CHANGE OF BASE.

A week Of delay, inscparable from a
change in the command Of great army, has
developed some new features Of the military
plan, and it is now announced that General
burnside is changing his base. The new
base is to be fredericksburg, on the Kappa
hammock, which is in easy cemm unication
also with Aqua Creek on the Potomac.
This position is one that will enable the
Government to supply the army more easily
than it could be when It was further inland.
For after all the complaints about McClel-
!an's slowness Of movement, it turns out tn at
ne was moving his troops faster than the
supply trains could move. The line of adj
vance pointed out for him by General Halleck
has to be abandoned. simply because Of the
:mpossiblity Of sending OH supplies for so
great an army. and the change Of base to
Fredericksburg indicates that Richmond IL
10 he the point towards which the army is
10 be directed, though Gordonsyile may still
ne attended to. ..'..
But such change Of base as this from
Manassas to fredericksburg is really con.
tinuation Of the advance Of the army. Its
','snrse is slightly altered; but it is brought
nearer to Richmond, for the distance from
fredericksburg il only sixty miles. General
burnside is now where General Mcdowell
wax six or eight months ago, with the Poto-
r'.ac and the Rappahunock opcr, by which
:sc may be abundantly supplied. We trust
that he may be supported by the whole pow.
rr Of the Government and the people, and
that having now got good base, he may be
able to push on triulnphantly until he is
able to change his base once more and es.
