INNER VIEW OF REnELDoM.
1t has been my fortune recently to meet 4
gentleman from Jackson, one Of the employees
If the Ii*sissippian, who has Travelled exteu-
sive1y in Dixie, and is thoroughly posted as
to the cncmy's situa ion. From him hive
learned several interesting particulars of dis
tinguished rebel Generals, and the condition
and topography Of the country, which I re-
produce for the instruction and amusement Of
your readers. This gentleman WAS formerly
resident Of Illinois, where his parents now
reside. He has for several months been the
teleg7aphic correspondent ofthc Ni$sissippian
When he came south year ago, he was arTes-
ted as Il Federal spy, and thrown into the pen
itcntiary at Jackson, from which he was re-
leased after three months sincarccration, upon
his producing unmistakable evidence of his
loyalty to the Southern cause. lie came into
our lines on the day Of the battle Of Thomp
sons Hills, and gave General Grant valuable
information. His presence among us. on ac-
count Of his antccedents, was viewed with
considerable suspicion, and Gen. Grant thought
proper to send h1n to Alton under proper
guard. do not youch for the correctness Of
his statements, but give them as have re-
cciyed them.
