BY dis patches from Richmond, i,
will be seen that the Secretary Of
War recommends the repeal OF the
exemption and substitute laws, max
ing provisions for all those having
substitutes to be placed Immediately
in the field. The Secretary thinks
that the privileges granted by Con
gress can be rugularly and constitu-
tionally abrogated by the same pow
er. He says no compact was entered
into between the government and
persons furnishing substitutes, as al
legged, but only privilege the gov
eminent accorded 1t is conceded
that the substitute law ought never
to have been adopted, but as it was
made law de facto, we can see moth
ing but improperly in the measure
should Congress attempt to follow
the recommendation in the Secre-
tary's report. 1t will prove disas
trous to the Confederacy unless the
money paid to substitutes be refund
ed to all persons who awaited them
selves of the privilege extended by
the government. We do not think
that Congress will be so blind to the
interests of the country as to act on
the suggestion, as proposed, for it
will result in our utter ruin. The
assembled wisdom of our country
We think will be able to devise some
course to remedy the evil, which will
prove satisfactory and beneficial
We therefore await further particu-
lars before commenting further, and
advise persons who have put substi-
tutes in the army not to get excited
but initiate our example.

The Memphis Bulletin Of the 10Th

Amtm Catastrophe.-On Tuesda,

Amtm Catastrophe.-On Tuesday
night, about half-past nine o'clock,
two brick buildings on Texas street
fell down with a terrible crash. There
were about eleven persons, whites
and blacks, in the building at the
time. Two men, one named W. ).
White, who is from Natchitoches
parish, near Springville; the other
Lindsey, from Arkapsas, were killed.
The others were rescued after consid-
cradle labor, five or six of whom are
N ore or less injured. The soldiers
and citizens who risked their own
lives in saving those Of the poor
creatures who were buried by the
rubbish, are entitled to much praise.
One Of the buildings was used as a
government saddler shop; the other
was occupied by Capt. G. II. Helme
of the Iron Department, and Maj f.
FL. Ezell, Quartermaster G.. s. A. The
extent of the damage we have no t
ascertained. Had the disaster oc-
Cured during the day, the loss of
life would have been fearful. For
the safety of life, we think that the
adjoining buildings ought to be pull
ed down. Our worthy Mayor, we
presume, will make it his. business to
inspect the remaining buildings, and
act in the premises as his conscience
prompts and the public security de-
mands. The scene was heart -rend-
ing, and we hope never again to wit
ness similar occurrence.

In the special correspondence OF
the Confederacy, .'Oue of Morgan :
Men" writes as follows:
A correspondent of Northern
paper, in speaking of Captain John
A. Gurley, says: at is some salts
faction to know chat We have at last
succeeded in capturing Capt. john
Gurley, the murderer of Gen. Nc
Cook. He has been sest North to
be tried, where it is hoped he viii be
hung without benefit of clergy" -
Capt. Gurley is one of the bravest
aud most energetic officers in the
Southern army. His killing Gene
raj McCook was perfectly honorable
and strictly in accordance with the
rules of war. 1t was simply the
boldness of the deed which rendered
his name so famous among,all honor
able men, and so hated by the Yam
KEGS. Gen. McCook had pressed a
carriage and horses from Southern
Rights gentleman of Huntsville, aud
it was the fact of his beng in this
carriage which enabled Capt. Gurley
to identify him. He was travelling
with his entire brigade, and was sur
rounded by a body guard. Captain
Gurley attacked the Guard and drove
them off, and demanded Gen. Nc
Cook to surrender, and. on his refu-
sal to do so, he shot him. He was
justified in doing so, and if we had a
few more like Captain Gurley, The
country would be rid of mauy other
Yankee scoundrels wearing the stars
Of General. The object of this
notice is to call the attention of our
Government to his capture, for, UNI
less the Yankees are notified that we
will retaliate, we fear that Captain
Gurley will never again retNrn to his
family and friends in the South.
