Cormick's division, are left behind for the
new division of Stewart in Hardee's corps
Bragg has now eighteen brigades of infantry
and cavalry. There are indications that, in
cooperation with Buckner at Knoxville, he
is about to assume the offensive and invade
Kentucky, striking at about Mfllim or Car
thage in East Tennessee. Buckner has large
force and is speedily organizing another for
offensive operations. The exempted men who
have been gathering saltpetre and nitre in East
Tennessee, have been armed by Buckner to
guard his rear and aid in gathering the i'm
mense crops Of wheat. TheAUoion men who
planted wheat largely in the hope of General

into their fields to destroy the wheat which
is now ripening. They despair of the Union

a GOOD STORY of the reception which some
federal deserters met from the rebels, is told
by correspondent OF the New York Herald
he says that on the arrival of the rebels at
Hagerstown, lieutenant and five men, wear
ing the federal uniform, crept out of the house
where they had been hiding. and gave them
selves up to be paroled. They told Gen
eral Jenkins that they did not wish to
light any longer against their southern
brethren. The general Indignantly rejected
their claim OF brotherhood told them
that II he had twenty fifth cousin as white
hvered as they were he would kill him and
set him up in his barnyard to make sheep own
their lambs, and concluded by detailing six
''good lusty fellows, with thick boots" to .spa-
role" the recreant federals by vigorously
kicking them out of the camp to the west
border OF the town. The story is SO good that
we hope it is true.

The HOME GUARDS OF Worcester met last
evening, and instead OF voting to hold them
selves in readiness for active service in the
field, agreed to disband the organization.
Boston Herald, 18Th.
This is misstatement. The home guards
have, it is true, voted to discontinue their
meetings for the present, but it is because
most of the members of that organiza-
ton now belong to the Worcester State
Guard and as such, are subject to do military
duty anywhere within the state that the gov
ernor may order.
