the excitement and under the influences
thrown around them at the breaking out
Of &c war, but have long since learned
that thev had been deceived, but having
enlisted voluntarily they think it would
be dishonorable to desert These men
originally enlisted for only one year, but
when that time had expired, without be-
ing permitted to go home, they were
couscripted for three years
The father, who accompanied the boys,
says the voting of Tennessee ont of the
Union was the merest farce.
The Uuion nleu were told that if they
voted against going out they would at
once he arrested and hung, and the boys
say they have often heard Mississippi
soldiers boast that they voted to take
+ Tennessee out of the Union
They say the soldiers have many ar
guments on the folly of going to war
against the government, and often come
to blows on the SUBJECT
Few of the soldiers in the army under
stand why they were permitted to get
away from Shiloh and Perryville, as in
both cases the rebel army was COM
pletely demoralized and panic-stricken.
Their rations throughout their whole
term of service were Of the plainest
kind. They never had coffee from the
time they went to Corinth, except when
a number of them joined together and
paid s. per pound for it. The fare at
the military prison in Louisville was
much better than in the rebel army.
The boys were dressed in the rebel
uniform-the regular dirty butternut-
colored cloth that all of our readers have
seen. The coat cost s., the pants Sl3,
and the shoes-eommon styles-Sl2.
Their pay was $40 per month in Con-
federate money, and they had been paid
last in February
They represent great discomfort in
Braggs army, aud that the retreat from
Murlreesboro had greatly discouraged
ard disheartened the soldiers, who pre-
ferred to fight and be captured, rather
than be marched on short rations all
over the country.
One of the young men was fine, ro-
bust looking fellow, possessed of consid-
cradle intellect, but was unable to read.
The other could read little.
Both the father and son say that the
privates in the rebel army are beginning
to see plainly that on their part this is
the poor mans war, as all the sIaveho d.
ers either manage to keep out of the ar

CLEAR THE SIDEwALKs.-We would
simply suggest the inquiry to our city
authorities, if it would not add much to
the appearance of the city if the streets
and sidewalks were kept clear of incum-
brances and distractions? Wood-piles,
drays, wagons, water tanks, corn shelters,
chicken coops, and sich like fruit y
ali excellent things in their way-to our
uusophisticated vision appear greatly out
of place on the sidewalks, and on the
borders of the sidewalks, along our most
frequented streets It is highly import
ant that our merchants, who are men of
enterprise, should receive large quaint
ties of store boxes flled with rich wares
and merchandise; but the propriety of
blocking up the sidewalks to such an
eqtent that ladies with moderately ex-
panded skirts are unable to run the
blockade, may be aopbted. We simply
make these suggestions by way of inqui-

New YORK, Sept 2l.-The Washing
ton correspondence of the Herald has a
statement to the effect that Stephens mis-
sion to Washington was to consult with
the Federal authorities as to whether
satisfactory terms Of compromise could
be arranged so that the Confederacy
could be saved the disgrace of inviting
foreign aid, or to enter an arrangement
with France to assist the rebels with
fleets and armies in exchange for the
possession of Texas
1t is alleged that Stephens is now in
France for the purpose of efecting this
arrangement.
