The following advertisement, from the
Chattanooga Rebel of the 18th, is the
latest from Haldeman, of the Louisville
Courier:
III buy q competent Seamstress, good Cook
and washer, and man suitable for House serv-
ant, and who can take care OF horses sI,N.N
iels-2t% One square IN rear of Post-Ofhce.
The Rebel of the 18th has the follow
ing affectionate items about Fallandig-
ham:
VaiIandigham is doubtless safely out
of the Confederate States by this time.
He may, possibly, turn up among the
Kuickerbockers, under the protection of
Governor Seymour. In any event, his
prospects for the Governorship of Ohio
"7The return of Vallandigham to
Ohio next fall as Governor, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer, will be sight
worth seeing That it will"
The leading article of the Rebel of the
18th relates to a visit to Gen. Braggs
army by the editor. The following is
the conclusion:
ave are happy to chronicle the army
in admirable health, physically and NOR
ally, and to note the fact that Braxton
Bragg has done nothing of late which
entities him to anything but the respect
of the country, and the regard of his
soldiers.
"The hullaballoo of ten days ago
thing. 1t hardly brushed the cobwebs
off the inertia of camp life; and if that
poor dog they call Rosecrans can do no
better, he had as well cease his impotent
snarls at the front of our lines, and be-
take himself to Vicksburg, where Grant
needs him badly enough. If he fail to
do SO, he may wake up some morning
and find Forrest and Breckenridge, ria
Spring Hill and Franklin, suddenly &C.
cupying his rear, and perhaps the forti-
fcations on St Cloud. We give him
the benefit of this hint, because he is
welcome TO make what he can out of it.
We also direct his especial attention to
two or three little maneuvers recently
enacted upon one of his tanks, to which
he seems to have been singularly obtuse
Indeed, Rosecrans is most stupid ass,
and aside from considerable energy,
some adroitness, and immense 'put-on
and clap-trap, is as intolerable fool as
knave.
But at the present moment all is
quiet in front 1t is dead calm. The
troops are enjoying May-day picnic.
They loll upon the grass of the green
woods, stroll along summer brooks, en-
gage now and then in a review for the
sake of the tender sex, attend dinner
parties and hops,
"And dance all night
Till broad daylight,
And go home With the girls in the morning."
1.-THE officers are all in full dress.
The warm-weather costume becomes
most of them amazingly, and their
fiery, untamed steeds,' in good condi-
ton, gaily and gaudily prance over the
smooth woodland roads of Bedford, as
though conscious of the holiday season.
There are also some very serious matri-
monial speculations in progress, and a

"Vicksburg is the front of the army
of Middle Tennessee. Upon that hangs
the tale of the therein mutual inactivity
1t is the pivot of the campaign in the
Southwest. Its fate once decided, and
the drums will beat below US again, and
the roar of hostile cannon break upon
the murmur of streams, the voices OF
fair women, and the everlasting hum oil
nature and summer When that time
comes, we shell not fear the result. The
pluck of the army is more intense, per
haps, than it ever was, and the discipline
superior. The return of so many regi
ments from Mississippi-which, by the
way, we believe an error, for we do not
need them Acknowledgements the forces tc
impregnability. Let the enemy, there
fore, come,

Who first cries, Hold enoughi"
