A LouisviIIIan's Experience in Dixie.
From the Louisville Journal, 26th.

1EOth bh0 LOul5NlAo SOuLuAA1 &obns
We have conYersed with a very intelIi.
gent and reliable gentleman, who left this
city early in February last, and has been
in the South ever since. Immediately af.
ter his arrival he enlisted in the Confed.
crate army, and deserted it a month ago
made his way through our lines, and re.
turned here on Friday last. His accounts
of the condition of affairs there generally
are deplorable in the extreme, and are in
deed worse than any history we have vet
seen. He was, when in the army, hos.
pital steward, and, being perfectly free to
go and come as he chose, his opportunities
for observation have been much greater
than they would have been otherwise. A
perfect reign of terror has taken hold of
the country, and the people flee from inn
pending CONSUMPTION, hiding in the hills
and rocks, preferring, in most cases, a
death by the slow process of starvation,
than being forced into the Confederate
army. The conscript officers hunt them
down with greyhounds and cavalry-in
some localities dragging them cruelty from
their hiding places, and in any case death
is the summary punishment for refusal
to accompany their brutal captors. He
gives us an illustration where one man fed
to the mountains in Tennessee for protec.
ton from the conscript act, taking with
him his wife and little children, and, when
accidentally found by the aid ofthe hounds.
he was dragged forth and cruelty shot
because he begged to be released, or per.
mitted to come North.
The people, civilians outside oftbe army
say that they are suhjugated, while the
soldiers are Indifferent, and have no opin
ion whatever, and do precisely what they
are told to do, believing that they have NO
right to think. for themselves, or if tbey
have, are afraid to give expression to their
thoughts. The officers are all in favor of
q monarchy, despising with all their might
aud soul any government after the fashion
OF the old one, and say that no earthly
power shall ever again compel them to
submit to reconstruction of the Union nm
its old bssis-nothing short of a mona
chy, and that after the most tvrannicslI
model, will satisfy them. A fearful state
OF destitutiou and want exists among the
men, women and children. Clothing il
rarely ever found, aud when it is, il is held
at such exhorbitant prices that three.
tourths OF the people are unable to buv-

without mouthful to eat for fopr davs
and that accidentally finding one individn'l
al who had a loaf of bread, he bought II a, |
the enormous figure of three dollars and |
half. u
The soldiers in most cases are as iudif.
ferently of as the citizens, though thew are
cared tor before everybody else. They are
comPelled 10 buy their own clothing, and
Tor that purpose receive ftty-two dollars
fommutaton money, which will not pur-

friend furnishes them With the necessary

articles, they have to do without. They
would all desert if not fearful of being re-
captured, as in that case death is sure and
speedy. Es
sOur informant was arrested at Tullaho-
ma, last March, charged with beinga spy
and was tried by court martial, but as no
evidence was adduced against him, he was
released and severely reprimanded. Thlr-
teen others were tried at the same time,
condemned to death, aud subsequently ex'
ecuted. Among the number was young
man from this city named OVerton, son oil
Mrs. Sarah Overton, widow, residing on
East street. He was shot on the 10Th OF
April, and buried at TullAhoma, Tenn
He was one of the unfortunate young men
induced 10 leave this State and go South
by that arch-traitor Buckner, and has met
the reward of his wickenness, poor fellow
by an untimely death at the guilty hanos
of those whom he deserted his country ~
an hour of peril to serve.

THE NEWS rms MoHNINe.

Our news from the Army of the Poto-
mac. this morning is of the most inspiring
character. We consider it the great news
of the war. The army of the invaders ap-
pears to have met its fate. and appears to
have been disastrously If not irreparably
overthrown. Truly, last Saturday was q
4th of July second only to that of l776'
AT this writing, while the news is SO
general in its character and Withal SO dis
iointed, it is useless to speculate as to what
has been the extent OF the rebel defeat.
We will soon have details, perhaps even
before these remarks go to press. We
content ourselves with believing, on the
evidence already furnished, that our arms
have been most gloriously successful.
All eyes will now be turned to the Poto-
mac river to see whether the rebels can
escape extinction. We are assured by Pri-
vate news that Pleasanton has possession
of the Gap below Chambersburg and that
they cannot escape. If this is so their COM
muuication must be already cut, and we see
no possible way by which they are to supply
themselves either with food or ammuni-
ton. The heavy capture of 80 many oil
their guns indicates that they were proba-
bly, hard run for artillery powder, and were
forced ON that account to abandon their
pieces. The FIRE of our artillery is said to
have been terrific and destructive. ~
All honor to the brave Army OF the 70
tomac 1t seems to have escaped its cruel
fate at last, and to have found fair and
equal field on which it has won imPerish-
able honors.
The losses on both sides are certainly
very severe. Indeed it could not be other
wise. The contest was both stubborn and
protracted. 1t was fight for life with
the rebels and with Us for cur iresides.
How will the mighty Richmond papers
be fallen when they hear of the fate oil
their Senracherib Lee? They goaded JET.
Davis into the policy of invasion against
his clear convictions frequently: manifest
ed since the beginning of the war. NO"
they see the results. We will see then
turn their lashings from the Yankees on to
one another. We trust, however, that our
army will soon stop their Iashings of any
body, as it undoubtedly will, if the news
now in hand shall hold out.
In the meantime We congratulate ou'
readers on the glorious tidings and the in
d ,scribably glorious prospects which i
opens up to the patriotic mind. Pen ma!
