MOVEMENTS OF REBEL ARMY.

MExPHIs, Sept. II Refugees lately arrived
within our lines bring exciting reports Of q
terrible condition of affairs in the South. One
man, who left Mobile on the 9Th, states that
there was q terrible riot Of soldiers wives In
Mobile on the 4th.
About six hundred women and children col.
lected on Spring Hill, armed with clubs and
hatchets, and marched through the principal
streets, carrying banners, inscribed Bread or
Rlood,' Bread or Peace" and other similar
inscriptions. They being soldiers wives, their
proceedings were winked at by the soldiers who
made but feeble resistance.
6tores were broken open. One merchant, q
Jew, struck one OF the women, and some Of the
police sent out and arrested the Jew, and heat
him severely. Many of the citizens have left
town, among them our informant, who says
the riot was increasing when he left.
The rebel cavalry in our front are very active,
probably masking some movement Of the main
army. Diminishing was frequent, but amount.
ed to little. Our forces generally are success.

OEsE ER TlONs FROM THE REBEt
ARMY-.tN APPEAL FOR SHOOTING
THE DEIINQUENTs. E'fHs .'

We have before us copy OF the Richmond
EIaainer Of Friday last, from which We. take
The. following exirscts. from fhs leading edI-
torial Of that date; U.rEHS aElsuT
The northern public ana Government, IL the
press of the United etates Is their true ex
Ponent, now base their chief hopes Of success
on the stories, with which they are every day
regaled, Of descrtlons on large scale from tht
armies Of the Confederacy. These stories are
vice to be more prevalent now than at any pre-
vous period Indeed, there Is less OF It than
ever before. But 1t is entirely true that
the gre.t source of oil the calamities OF
the South has been from this WORT
Of evils. Under the delicate name Of abseu.
teeism, II has found excusers and defenders
Even the public press has been sometimes so
depraved as to argue that those "absent with.
out leave" were not deserters; that they were,
in fact, rather better men than those who were
never absent without leave; because II was
then excessive and noble love OF home, and OF
their females, which wrought on them 10 such
degree as to overcome the love Of country and
duty Until within the last fsw days no de-
serter, even II aecidently caught, has been
pnalshed BY anything more than little con-
| finement. The consequence has bcen that the
| South has not as yet had any real army at all,
hut only some voluntary associations, kept to.
| gether by the spirit of tho few and the coaxing
Of the many. Another consequence has been
the loss OF Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Louisiana, Mississippi, aud two-thirds of VIZ
ginia; devastation of the fields; the copaagra-
| lians of farm houses; the depopulstion Of the
villages; the outrage, murder, and subjugation
of the citizens In region containing the re.
sources OF an empire; all our calsmitles, fnan
clal, political, social, private and public, OF
Government and of individuals, are the results
Of an imperfect defence against the enemy.
Our defence has been imperfect because the
line was not long enough, the ranks untitled,
the column not deep. Why was that1 Has
the country refused to give It's men The coun.

The resi have deserted, and the Executive has
refused TO employ tho only means known In
human experience 10 prevent them from So
doing. This is the cause of our suffering
This Ia the error which will produce the ca
tastrophe. Within the last few days ten dc
serters have died their Just death. II this fac,
is an indication Of new rule In the Confed
