A. GOOD MOVE.

Brigadier General Pillow, the COM
mander of the Conscript Bereau, Of this
department, has just issued an order re-
voking the exemption papers of all tan
ners, shoemakers and other mechanics
who are detected in charging over 75
per cent. profit on their labor ; and or
ders the rates for the raw material to
be regulated by published schedule Of the
commissioners appointed by the Presi.
dent of the Confederacy, and governors
of the respective States. So there can
be no mistake in this matter. The price
of the raw material is fixed, and the op-
erative is allowed his profits of his labor,
and all persons violating the same are
ordered to be reported and their exemp-
ton will be revoked.

North Mississippi, captured by that ener>
petic an efficient officer Gen. S. D. Lee,
The fight took place at or near Moscow,
in West Tennessee, and besides tearing
up aud destroying most Of the Memphis
d Charleston Railroad Gen Lee is said
to have inflicted much punishment upon
the enemy, killed a great many as they
attempted to cross Wolfriver, in fact, the
river is said to have been full of dead
and dying. A large number of horses
on the other side of the river which our
troops were unable to reach were killed.
Our loss is said not to be large, some Is
or 20 killed and wounded.
1t is reported the Yankees say their
liberty and immunity has been greatly
interfered with. by sending such men as
Lee and Forrest up there that they have
no better sense than to fight every chance
they get.

LETTER FROM BRAGG's ARMY,

From letter of Lieut.. John Dawson we
copy the following extract;
81 cannot refrain from speaking of the dar-
ing feat aud gallant conduct Of several of
our company just before the general attack
at Missionary Ridge
On November 25ih, about twelve o'clock, a
strong line of the enemy's pickets, supported
by a heavy line of battle, attacked and drove
without much difficulty our line of skrmiSh-
ers to the hreastworks-fo they had orders
to fall back slowly at their advance. When,
however, they got within about three hundred
yards of. our brigade, a simultaneous volley
from the 9th regiment, drove them in double
quick to a skirt of woods, about $50 yards in
the rear. Five of them who were in advance
of their line, and did not see their comrades
fall back, were,. suppose, afraid to follow
them lest they should receive another volley,
determided to screen themselves behind fallen
trees and stumps and wait until night to
make good their escape. Feeling thus secure
and believing the rebels would not be so
reckless as to advance within one hundred
and fifty yards of their pickets, tried to amuse
themselves by firing deliberately at our sold
iers, who exposed themselves within our
breastworks. Some of our regiment were
much annoyed at such impudence, so Sergt
Dew, with seven others, (among whom were
Singleton Garrett and Hugh Sanders of our
company,) volunteered and gained permis-
sion to 90 out and drive them back, or take
them prisoners. Accordingly the little squad
deployed at shortintervals and commenced
at double. quick their assault on the annoy
ing party. AS the entire course was through
an open field, the whole line of Yankee
pickets opened heavy fire on them from the
beginning; but still undaunted, our young
heroes went steadily on, and amid the thickly
flying missiles went right up to the hiding
places of the astonished squad of Yankees,
captured and double-quicked them to the
rear. In this gallant little rencounter oar
heroic corporal, Sing. Garrett was woupded
in the thigh but not so severely as to render
him unable to make his way back. He was
Immediately sent to the hospital, and | hear
is doing WE'LL To the astonishment ofgall
who witnessed this fearful undertaking, all
the other boys escaped unhurt. Too much
admiration could not be bestowed on those
brave boys. They have received the congra-
tulations and thanks of our brigade and di-
vision commanders.

Lon. Barlow, was seen to fall, By member
