rom Con. aueII,s Army.

On the 23d Of june thesixth division
Of Gen. Buells army had reached Tus-
cumbia, Ala. Gen. Buell's headquarters
were near Florence, on the south bank Of
the Tennessee. The correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
account Of the state Of affairs in that
quarter;
Yesterday a foraging party from Gen
Garlield's brigade discovered distinct
traces of the whereabout Of a lot Of 1000
bales of cotton, which had been sub
scribed by a noted seeessionist TO the
Southern COniederAcy. Captain Ralph
Plumb, Quartermaster reported the facts
TO Gen. Garfield, commanding, and the
same has been forwarded 10 headquarters
of Gen. Buell., in hopes that measures
may be Immediately taken to secure so
much of the lot as may be found. With
out doubt this ia but a sample Of what
may be found in the way OF contraband
property. Indeed, il seems TO your COR
respondent that mistaken policy gov.
ems our movements as an army. Here
we are, surrounded by az inyeterate and
. determined a set of rebels as can be
found in the entire South. They have
given their means without stint to inau-
gurate and carry forward the rebellion.
They have all around us immense guam
titles Of property enough to deiray the
expenses of feeding the entire army of
Gen. Buell. So determined are these
rebels 20 sustain their cause at all haz-
ards that they boldly say TO our Gener-
ais that all Of these immense corn fields
are designed to sustain the Confederate
army another year. These corn fields
are immense. Ca every plantation where
heretofore only cotton has been produced,
now the negro gangs are made TO hoe corn
instead, SO that the rebels may not fail Of
asupply of bread
And yet we are obliged 20 feed our an
imals on short rations, and TO pay from
Northern loyal pockets not only the cx-
pense Of transporting At great disadyant-
age the supplies for the men, but the poor
soldier is compelled to pay (if he buys
an enormous price for any luxury he may
desire TO obtain Buttar 40 cents eggs,
20 cents per 1dozen; pies, 25 cents each;
dressed pigs, 20 cents per pound; chick
ems, 25 cents and poor at that, are mod
crate samples of prices charged, and paid
for in good Treasury notes.

The Louisville Democra, makes the
following remarks on the conduct Of
sympathizers with the rebellion. It's OBJ
servadons are perfectly just aud will
apply well TO many Of the people of
Nashville.
II is important that the Secesh in our
midstshould be made TO understand dis
tinctly what their conduct means. Il
means simply civil war--nothing more,
nothing less. They should learn to look
civil war straight in the face, and recon-
cile themselves to all the consequences.
We have National Government and we
have a State Government. Both these
have taken their stand, and no one can
be so stupid as not 20 see that those who
encourage war against the governments
must inv0vle themselves in Serious con-
sequences. The "SOulhern sympathizcr'
must learn that thisis not mere contest
between rival candidates for Office As
the historian represents Cato as saying,
in the Roman Senate, "this not a contest
about who shall be first in the Republic,
but whether we shall have a republic"
lie who encourages attempts TO destroy
our National and our State Government
must feel that he is incurring some risk,
All such encouragement costs blood and
blood will demand something more than
water The man who scattcrs lrebrands,
arrows, and death must not expect peo-
pie TO be satisfied when ne cries, "Am j
not in sport % Tho burning houses
the pierced hearts and dead bodies will
not be regarded as sport
