A MUTINoUs ILLINOIS REGIMENT
The 109th Illinois Regiment has been dis
armed, and the officers and men put under
arrest for disloyalty and reasonable indica-
lions, it having been'discovered by General
Grant and his officers that all but one COM
pany composed of Republicans and War
Democrats, were in full communication and
sympathy with the rebels and plotting TO
90 over to them. Some of the officers and
men really deserted to the enemy. 1t was
ascertained by means Of a spy that the Off
GERS and meE had told the rebels in the vi
entity of Holly Springs that they did not
want to see the South whipped, but wished
the seeded States 20 gettheir independence
that they desired to be taken prisoners, and
would surrender the first opportunity; that
they entered the army because they thought
they could best serve their rebel friends by
joining the army, and when the time came
desert and take their arms with them. The
traitors had gone SO far as 10 arrange for
an attack upon them by the secesh citizens
of Pontotoc county, Miss, when they would
surrender, and if the company above alud-
ed to showed fight, as it was expected they
would, they were to be taken prisoners.
The company Go. ~ was exempted from
arrest by Gen. Grant.

The rebel Congress has passed bill re-
pealing the clause of the conscripf act
which exempted one white man on each
plantation Of twenty negroes. This is in
consequence of the clamor raised by the
poor whites against that exemption, and
shows that this Icing despised class begins
to feel its power in the South. The rebs
pretend they repealed the exemption be-
cause of their implicit confidence in the
loyalty of the negroes.

INTRODUCING" THE PROCLAMATION.
Gov. Andrew of Massachusetts, in behalf
of parties in that State, has caused editions
of the Presidents pro lamation, in tiny
book form and with attractive covers, TO be

ranked to various officers in the service
from Massachusetts, requesting them to un-
dertake to introduce the proclamation among
the slaves wherever opportunity offers.
