PorATo BIDS. We understand that
Capt. Small has been purchasing potatoes
from some of the parties whose bids were
rejected by him on account Of their extrav-
agance. for fifteen or twenty per cent. less
than what they offered them for some days

These facts speak for themselves.

THERE has not been so much difficult,

THERE has not been so much difficulty
experienced by persons in search of houses
for rent since 1857, as at the present time.
It's almost impossible to get any kind of a
tenement house fit for middle-class resi-
dence just now, and if, by chance, one be-
comes vacated it is speedily re-occupied on
the landlords terms. Would it not be a
good speculation for some builder to erect
a few good houses for renting?

Loyalty Of the Soldiers.

The loyalty of the soldiers in Rosecrans ar
my has become proverbial. They go for the
Union without conditions = without "ifs" or
sands" or "buts.' At meeting of thelcamps
of some regiment in this army near Muir
freesboro' recently, series of resolutions
breathing spirit of earnest patriotism and
unyielding opposition to rebellion and copper
adopted. They declare that the officers and
soldiers of Tennessee are determined, through
adversely as well as prosperity, to preserve
the Government, uphold the Union, and crush
out rebellion, at whatever cost of life or treas
ure; that the resolutions introduced in West
ern Legislatures for peace conventions are
1.-THE offspring and result Of those leagued to-
gether in treason and intended to give aid
and comfort to the enemy; that the Tennes-
seeans now in arms are for maintaining the
ards, for vigorous prosecution of the war,
for depriving the rebel master of his slaves,
and every other species of property, and for
subjugation, emancipation, determination
and colonization, so far as may be necessary
TO overthrow treason and put down rebellion;
that they heartily cooperate with and sustain
the emancipation proclamation, and approve
the employment OF slaves and persons OF AT
rican descent to aid in suppressing the rebel
lion; and that they spurn all propositions for
any armistice or cessation of hostilities until
the rebels throw down their arms.

More Rebel Barbarities.

The late Gen. Mitchell when stationed at
Shelbyville, Tenn, sent out all expedition for
the purpose of destroying some important
railroad communications, but the enterprise
falling, the members of the expedition were
captured and thrown into prison. Several of
these men after long and dreary imprison-
ment. have been released, and recently visited
Union League in Washington where they
related the experience through which they
had passed. Mr. WIN. Pittenger, one OF the
number, gave the following account of the
barbarous treatment they received from the
rebels:
Their plans were wei. laid, and they had
even succeeded in capturing a train of cars,
with which they started on their mission.
But unexpected delay caused them to be dis
covered. and they had no alternative hut TO
take to the woods. Here theywere pursued by
the entire people, who hunted them ,cith hounds
until the entire party were captured. They
tcere hdndcuged, double-ironed, chained to-
gether in threes, and Mro,cn into the riiest
kind Of a dungeon, NTH but ray of light,
and prorided ,cih scanty food Of the poorest
quality. They We're not held as prisoners of
war, but treated as the worst of criminals,
though they assured their captors that they
were soldiers. For eleven months they were
thus confined in darkness, guarded ironed,
and subjected to the wors. indignities. They
were then moved to Knoxville, Tennessee,
where seven of their number were tried and
condemned as spies, though the conclusion Of
the court was concealed.
After being again moved to Atlanta, a squad
of rebels came into their dungeon and notifi-
ed the seven that they were to be executed.
Without time for preparation these unfortu-
nate patriots were forced from their sorrow
ing companions to the gallows. The scene Of
parting was indeed touching one. The re-
naming prisoners expected TO share the same
fate, and it was proposed that they prepare for
eternity. Morning and evening the little band
of sufferers knet in prayer. Though subse-
quently moving from prison to prison this Gus
tom was regularly kept up. There were four
teen still alive. Intelligence was brought that
they also were to be hanged Eight of the
party escaped, only two of whom were ever
heard from. The remainder were sent TO
Richmond, where, after suffering untold hard
ships, and being assured that they should be
kept during the war, unless sooner executed
they were suddenly overjoyed by the an
nouncement that they were to be exchanged.
