Gen Hurlbut has issued the following
order:
The people in the West district of Ten
nessee and north counties OF Mississippi,
having made no attempt to protect them
selves from guerrilla bands, but having
submitted themselves without resistance to
these petty tyrants, and in many instan-
ces combined with the enemy to procure
from traitors in Memphis and elsewhere
supplies for the use of the enemy, have
proved themselves unworthy of the indul-
gence shown by the government, 1t IS
therefore ordered that the pickets around
the several military posts of this command
be closed that no goods of any descrip-
tlon be allowed to pass out, or anything
brought, except fireweod or provisions, by
any citizen, unless with the written order
of some general officer. And the sale OF
merchandise to persons beyond the line of
pickets will be punished with the seyerest
rigor of the laws OF war.

The Exchange of Prisoners - The
Government Expe" ditNres.


Gentlemen arrived here from Fortress
Monroe state that they heard there that
the correspondence of the respective agents
for the exchange of prisoners has degene-
rated into pr rsonalities and loss of mutual
confidence. Their usefulness is thereby
impaired. and hence the opinion is strongly
expressed that if there could be change
of agents an exchange of nearly all, if not
all, The prisoners might be effected, the
disputed points being left to future adjust
ment.
The payments for all branches of the
public service for the fiscal year en1ing
with the last of June were nine hundred
and three millions dollars, of which
amount six hundred million we're for the
army and sxty-six million for the navy
