NASHVILLE TENNESSEE TUESDAY. AUGUST 1868
rhe Rebel ConscrIptlon.

The following notice is published by
the Rureau Of Conscription;
To answer numerous inquiries, and to
correct errors not uncommon, the follow
ing notice is published to all concerned
1. Under the recent call Of the Presi
dent, extending the conscription age, all
substitutions have ceased TO be valid II
the substitute be less than forty five
years old and is not otherwise exempt by
law.
2. Membership, whether as officer or
private, of local organization for home
defence or special service, confers no
claim 60 exemption from Confederate
service; neither does service in the militia,
unless in the case of officers actually in
commission who have duly quslihed,
g. Hereafter any one furnishing sub
stitute will become liable in his own per-
son whenever the services Of the subste-
tute arc lost to the government from any
cause other than the casulties OF war.
4, Applications for exemption, on any
ground whatever, must be first addressed
to the local enrolling officer, who, il he
has not powpr to act, or is in doubt, will
refer them to highsr authority, with re-
port of the facts. All such addressed
direct to higher authority will neces-
sarily and invariably be referred back
for local examination and report; and
the applicants will thus have uselessly
lost time and prolonged suspense.

A SLAvE.---We take the following from
the Vicksburg correspondence of the
Missouri Democrat:
will relate an incident, which oc-
Cured this morning, at the expense of
gallant soldier. He was prospecting
around town, when his attention was
attracted TO stable of very fine horses
While admiring their fine points, he was
surprised by the appearance of very
fascinating young lady, as she emerged
from another apartment of the horse =
house, and bowed politely, and smiled
kllingly upon him. He stammered out
something like an apology for his seem
ing intrusion, mixing up the words
proclamation" and cOnfiscstion," &c ,
and ended by asking who was the owner
OF the place.
''Dr. Neely," replied the lady.
"And you--you are his wife ?' said
the soldier, doubtfully.
"No," said the lady.
"Then mis- daughter T--this was said
very smilingly.
@No"
ellis niece, perhaps l"--endearingly.
"No; no relation, that know Of"
"Then a lady friend, on visit"-
puzzlingly.
"No, not that, either"
"Well, then, may | be permitted "a
ask ,Oho you are p
:" Certainty" replied the lady, who
had enjoyed the soldiers disconiiiur,
with piquant relish, Tam his slaue.'
The soldier gave one long, last, lipger'
ing look, and with a low whistle, de-
parted.

A Vioksburg correspondent writes.
A horrible discovery has iust been
made on the rebel line of Notifications.
Quile anumber Of men have been engaged
in repairing the rebel fort that was blown
up on the night Of the 81 uli. In the
course Of their operations they have ex.
humed some sixty or eighty dead bodies
found buried in the ruins Of tho fort. II
seems that while our miners were at work
making an entry into the side of the hill
That was crowned by the rebel tort, a
strong working party of rebels were set
to work sinking a counter mine within
the fort This party, consisting, il is
said, OF more than \ hundred men, were
IN the mine when ours exploded, and
those of them who were not killed out.
right were buried alive. Some Of the
exhumed bodies are terribly lacerated
and mangled, while others have not q
mark or bruiso upon them. Two heads,
one that of negro, have been dug up.
They were completely severed from the
bodies, the latter not having yet been
found. The bodies are found in almost
every conceivable position---souAo stand

one instance She body was head down.

The correspondence of the New York
Herald, describing the late cavalry raid
under Gen. Potter, from Newbern, N. O.
to Rocky Mount and Tarboro', and the
destruction of vast amount Of rebel
property at the former, and of the bridge
al the latter place, states that the order
to fire the bridge asgiven too soon. A
large number of contrabands had Just
got over, many were still on the bridge,
and many were on the other side, but,
with few exceptions, they contrived TO
make their escape. When the burning
bridge fell, it is feared il carried into the
stream below, or consumed in the vain
effort to extricate themselves, between
five and six hundred poor negroes.

The Paris oorrespo ndent of the Phil
adelphia Enquirer writes:
Apropos of Slidell, / may say that
encountered the hoary sinner in the Bois
de BolOugne on an afternoon of last
week, accompanied by one daughter and
a stylish young man, whom | took TO be
his son-in-law. The daughter was Ian
guidly beautiful, and the driver and
ilunkey were clad in half livery, with
calves and hair powder in profusion =
Slidell leaned upon cane, bevolent as
comported with the day, and smiling as
If a candidate for glory. His horses
were English and full blooded, and his
oAbriOlet, or barouche, was glossy and
light beyond composition. You should
see the youths with United States pass
ports, who wait upon Slidell, laughing
in their sleeves as they unrOll their
parchmenis, One e-half the Americans
who come here with government papers
are arrant Rebels, and many whose lips
have freshly sworn TO the oath Of alle-
glance, fling up their hats at the mention
of Federal defeat.

One OF THK Boys Passengers who
came on 10 New York with General Kill
patrick last week were attracted toward
a little fellow in his company, evidently
quite pet who wore the dress OF the
cavalry service, with spurs aDd trapp-
ings, and jacket bespatlered with mud,
showing the evidence of his late adven-
lures among the rough riders OF Kill
patrick's force. Upon inquiry Of the
General, the following story OF the lad
was told: lie was born in England,
where his parents still reside, and came
to this country with an older brother,
who is now member OF an infantry
regiment in the Potomac Army. Taking
fancy to the cavalry service, he man
aged 10 get horse, and fell in as a
soldier. After one of the recent fights,
the General noticed him grieyIng over
| the loss of his horse. A day or two
later, seeing him near his tent, he asked
him 20 do an errand TO his Adiutant-
General. When he arrived at his desti-
nation. the officer asked, "Nho are v yOu,
sir?p "Aid .de-camp TO General Kill
patrick. sir" was the prompt reply.
Now our young hero had made HE point.
lie was at once adopted into the military
family Of the General, who assured the
writer that no man in his command
would better convey an order upon the
field. At the battle Of Gettysburg be
took, himself, three prisoners, one being
very tall-his head, while standiug, be-
ing as high as the head Of the young
cavalryman seated upon his horse

Ben. WooD's paper, the New York
Aet0S, publishes a story that JEFF DAVIS
proposes TO concede NAPoLEoN's right to
seize on Mexico and TO guarantee him
free trade with the South for twenty
five years. provided France will recog-
nize the COnfederacy and raise the
blockade. This, the News asserts, was
the object of A. II. STEPHENS expedition
to Washington, DAVIS wishing to have
an armistice if possible instead of re-
sorting to such measure.

Jefferson d. is evidently troubled in
spirit, as the following oanting document
testillcs. lie don't take aoggings as
cheerfully as Stephens.
PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT or THE
coNFEDERATE STATES.
Again do | call upon the people of the
Confcderacy-a people who believe that
the Lord reigneth, and that His overru-
ling providence ordcreth all things--to
unite in prayer and humble submission
under His Christening hand, and 10 be-
seech his favor on our suffering country.
II is meet that whom trials and re-
verses befal us we should seek TO take
home TO our hearts and consciences the
lessons which they teach, and profit by
the determination for which they pre-
pare US. Had not our success 3es on land
and sea made us self confident and for
getful of our reliance on Him? Had
not the love of lucre eaten like gan
creme into the very heart of the land,
converting too many among us into wor-
shippers of gain, and rendering them un-
mindful of their duty TO their country,
to their fellow men, and TO their God
Who, then, will presume 10 complain
that we have been chastened, or 10 des-
pair of our just cause and the proteo-
ton of our Heavenly Father
Let US rather receive in humble thank
fulness the lesson which He has taught
in our recent reverses, devoutly acknOwl-
edging that to Him, and not TO our n
feeble arms, are due the honor and the
glory of victory; that from Him, in HIS
paternal providence, come the anguish
and suiferings of defeat, and that, whe-
ther in victory or defeat, our hamble
supplicaiions are due TO His footstool.
Now therefore |, Jefferson Davis, Pres
| ident of these Confederate States, do is
sue this my proclamation, setting apart
Friday, the 2lst day of August ensuing,
as a day OF fasting, humiliation, and
prayer; and do hereby invite the peo-
plo of the Confederate States TO repair,
on that day. 20 their respective places of
public worship, and to unite in suppica-
ton for the favor and protection of that
God who has hitherto conducted us safe
ly through all the dangers that environ
ed us.
In faith whereof have horeuntO sci
my hand and the seal of the Oonfede-
rate States, at Richmond this twenty
nth day Of July, in the year OF our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and
