CoRREsPos DENCE.-We have lately received
two very interesting letters from our army in
Tennessee written by well-known gentleman
of this place, in the 4th Arkansas regiment
The news matters have been long ago antici-
pated by telegraph dispatches, &c, but the
following extracts will be found still interest
ing. We give publicity to the remarks about
Gen. Bragg after due reflection. The want of
confidence in him prevails too extensively, to
allow 1t to be passed. over as the result of
pique, rejudice, or hasty judgment. We think
it entirely proper that the people should be
acquainted with the tn oughts and feelings
which prevail in an army composed of their
nearest and dearest relatives, and at this time
and distance We apprehend no evil to the cause
from making them known.

To the great satisfaction of our army, am
able TO announce that we are at last receiving
endorsements from Virginia. Yesterday the
first trains arriving at Tullahoma Long

reinforce this army, which was very much
needed, rs Old Rose has been reinforced by
Slegelrs whole corps, 30. 900 strong. The at.
tention of the whole civilized world il concen-
trated with great interest on the next bloody
conflict that will soon take place in Middle

almost decide this war. Why shCulj we no 4
be! Our army is in a better plight than it
was at Murfreesboro, while the enemy's army
is undoubtedly much more demoralized Great
hope Is manifested that Gen. Johnston will
command In the held in person the next great
battle, as it would infuse new confidence in our
gallant army am sorry to say, Gen. Bragg
Is not POPULAR with the army, and no one ap-
preciated his uncalled for retrogade movement
from Murfreesboro right in the face of II bril-.
liant victory. The whole command saw that
he is not The man in the right place. and
should have followed up his victory on Thurs
day, and not have given the scattering and
discounted forces of the enemy time to rally
their men. Why did the right wing of hi-
army lay idle all day Wednesday without firing
gun, is the question asked by every man IN
the army. 1t is very unfortunate indeed. at
this great iuncture, that Gen. Bragg sh ould
yet, after all these charges, be suffered to re-
main in charge of this splendid army. Mai
Gen. }. L. McCOwn was arrested by order II

TIM EURoezAs ScUEnss LOAN HUGCo.-
For some time rumors Of . loan Of several MI.
lions Of pounds. to be made BY European oapi-
talists to the Davis government. have been In
dustriously circulated both abroad and here By
the rebel agents. II was first asserted that tho
well known banking house of Fould Il CO.. IN
Paris, had taken this loan; then, when thst was
proved false, it was said that Ehrlanger l. Co.,
Of Paris and Frankfort, were the parties who
are to take the loan. We are assured, on good
authority, that neither one NOR the other have
taken any steps in the matter, and that they are
not SO Quixotic or willing to lose their money
as to advance il to the Davis government on
the contingency of procuring cotton at some
later date. The fact is, as the Polish insurrec-
ton has destroyed all chances for European
recognition OF Davis, so it has ruined his 6nan-
cial arrangements abroad. He will get no
money in Europe, os"

TaE CHsyALIER FoRNEY Lrrrs TOO FAsr.--
The Chevalier Forney boasts Of the Union
Leagues of the day as covering grand Pre-
sidential movement for 1864. But the Chevalier
Forney Ia = small beer politician, who sees in
everything movement for the spoils. He is Of
the same school, in fact, as the copperheads and
the astive chiefs Of the abolition faction, who
look irst for the spoils, and then for the ways
and means to get the spoils. The business now
before the ccustry is the suppression Of the re-
bellion, and Forney aud every other spoils poll
tician, Of every faction, must fall in with this
idea or get ont Of the way. These Union Leagues,
too, must stick to this one idea, or, instead
Of doing any good, they will do much mischief
We must put down this rebellion, or the Presi-
DENTAL election of 1864 may not be worth
squabbling about. Forney is a shallow poll
tician and a bad adviser.

THE Two SIDES OF THE RAPPAHANNocK.-The
Union army on the north side Of the Rappahan-
mock is now better clothed, fed and cared for in
every way than any army in any other country
Of the same proportions in the history of the
world. The best Of fresh beef, fresh soft bread,
vegetables, coffee, and even butter, are common
among the supplies of our soldiers. But on the
south side of the river, from the badly clothed
rebel prisoners falling into the hands Of our
troops, and from the groans Of the Richmond
newspapers, there can be no doubt that the
rebel army is reduced to very scanty ration,
often consisting Of nothing but small supply
of corn bread We are therefore strongly in
cliusd to believe that General Lee is a. likely
to repeat the evacuation game Of Manassas and
Corinth as to stand his ground for another bat
tie on the Rappahannock.

GOvERNNnNT AND THE ARMY-It will have
been seen by the statement which we pub
ished on Friday last, from our correspondent
at the headqudfters Of the Army Of the Potomac,
that nothing can be more satisfactory than the
present condition Of General Hooker's csm-
mand The regiments composing Il are all
comfortably clothed and are provided with
abundance Of everything. The paymasters are
busily at work amongst them, and in week. or
fortnight at furthest the arrears due to the
men will be all settled up. We have similar
accounts from the Southwest and from all
other points whore any important force is sta
toned This is as il should be-, and we trust
that for the future We shall hear no more CON-
plants Of the Indifference Of commanding Off
GERS to the comforts Of their men OF Of neglect
Of their duties BY the government officials. While
the welfare Of our troops in the field IL
thus carefully provided for, We hope that
the settlement Of the claims Of the families of
those who have lost their lives in the service Of
the country will not be subjected to any unne-
cessary delay. We know that In quite a num-
ber Of instances the arrears Of pay due officers
and soldiers whs were killed in battle some
twelve or fourteen months ago remain still un-
settled This Il not creditable to the govern
mcnt, and we trust that steps will be at once
taken TO redress 20 we'll founded subject Of

A SPECIMEN or THE BEAUTIES OF THE DAVIS
DEsPoTIss-The Columbus (Ga.) Sun Of the
18th Of March Considerable excitement
prevailed on the streets yesterday in con-
sequence Of the seizure of bacon in the hands of
private parties by person claiming to be sn
agent Of the Confederate government. He had
made several seizures when his authority was
doubted, and he was arrested by the civil au
thorities and held over for trial." "Thus,"
says the paper aforesaid, ''the matter stands
Bacon was retailing before the seizure at eighty
cents pound. We venture the prediction that
it will be up to 81 rs in few days-all the re-
suits of seizures" This, too, in the heart Of
Georgia, where provisions are more abundant
than along the frontiers Of the rebellion, where
the armies and guerillas Of Davis for two years
have been securing tho country and eating out

this subject, Let ss ones moro remind
President Lincoln that now u tho golden
moment to strike down the rebellion.
Our finances are prosperous; those Of the rebels,
with gold st six hundred per cent, are most de-
plorable. We have an immense army In tho
field, with power to increase ii at pleasure; the
rebels have exhausted their conscription lists
and are offering two thousand dollars for sub
stitutes. We have unlimited and inexhaustible
resources; the rebels are now forced to con-
script grain and meat. In short, the rebellion
is now staggering to its final fall, and only re-
quires one decisive defeat to annihilste it. The
North is once more united. The abolitionists
have apostatized from their emancipation idol !;
the copperheads have skunk to their holes the
conservatives are again in the ascendancy. Pre-
sidcnt Lincoln must do the rest We warn him
that his responsibilities are as great rs the
means with which we have provided him. and
that, while glory awaits him il he succeeds. no
disgrace win be too severe for him if he
now lose the cause through mismanagement or
neglect.
