How the Rebel Armies are Recruited


In Rebel mail recently captured by
our forces in Tennessee, letter was
found from a Confederate officer to his
wife, informing her that he was engaged
in hunting conscripts." He says:
Yesterday I was out with four men.
The first hiding place we found was in a
small thicket between wagon road and
a creek One of our party accidentally
stepped into the top of chimney. The
den had been dug in the earth, a little
larger than grave. 1t had a snug lit
tie fireplace, and plenty OF straw and
coffee-pot in it 1t twas nicely COW
cred with boards, with a snug trap or
fall-door to 20 i'll at, and the mhUlv COW
cred with leaves and brush so as to make
a natural appearance. But there was no
person within. This was something new
to us. We then proceeded to hunt fur
ther On the opposite side of where the
man lived, we found another den similar
to the first, by the side of a large log
We have reason to believe there are
many such places in this country.
Therefore the catching of conscripts has
become quite tedious business"

BROKEN

SING, FOR THE PRIDE OF THE TYRANT IS
BROKEN.
Is it yet time to intone the anthem?
IF Gen. Bragg's bulletin is to be receiv-
ed with full confidence, we might safely
do so. "Our victory is complete" says
the exultant General Posibly-but it
would have been more prudent.to have
refrained from saying SO till the week of
battle was ended. Our victory cannot be
complete unless it is consummated by
the recovery of Chattanooga. The prize
of the conqueror is East Tennessee.
The incomplete result is very glorious.
/ Prisoners, cannon, the burial Of the dead,
possession of the field, pursuit of the en-
! emy-all the trophies AM tokens of sue
/ cessful war our own. But let us await
for the end before announcing the tri-
umph of the Confederate arms in the
/ Central West 1t has become the settled
system Of the enemy to prepare, before
delivering battle, some strong point in
his rear on which he. can fall back after
defeat, and win by his own reinforce
ments and our indiscipline, what courage
could not secure.
The Generals of the United States
know well that none of their troops,
whether Eastern or Western, can sustain
with success the first onset of a Southern
army. But if they can protract the con
test, and retreat without rout, till they
reach their reserves, they usually win a
last Why? Because a Southern army
becomes a mob after victory. Gener
ais and troops give way to an exhilera
ton proper to schoolboys The mer
straggle, the officers drink, and ell bras
of the wonders done by our divisions
Hence it is that none of the Southern
leaders have been able to secure tn,
fruits of victory. Beauregard, Lee
Johnston, Bragg, each in turn has beel
censured for not pursuing advantage
which y-o,lld-.in other oouptries and h
other Generals, have certainly been reI
''Itsr afIny M tne spirit of a militii
organization has been the source of al
our reverses and the cause of all our mil
, ltary disasters. General Bragg has tn
reputation of being an exception anon,
our commanders. 1t is said that he ha:
disciplined his army, thoughts Difficult
to believe that he deserves that praise

discomfort from his regiments, whicl
have been often repeated.

''And his Soul Goes Marching On,

1t Is well known that the leaders of the
rebellion and the northern copperheads
give, as an excuse for their treason. that
they desired to preserve the institution
OF slavery. How well they have succeed
ed may be inferred from the following
from the Nashville Union of Monday:
There was negro recruiting Office on
Cedar street, at the door of which stands
a negro sentinel with bis musket a
number of persons standing around YES
terday, took considerable interest in
noting the conduct Of white officers who
passed by. The sentinel saluted everv
officer that came along, and received the
usual recognition. At last Gen. GRANGER
was espied riding up the street, accom-
panied by lady, and he immediately
became the focus of all eyes. What
would he do? Would he return the
sanitation of the sentinel of African lin
cage? He did. Returning shortly after,
by himself, the sentinel saluted him the
second time. The General paused, put
him through a brieflesson in the manual,
and when he brought him to present
arms" saluted him and departed. We
hope this example Of the worthy Gen
eral will not be lost upon the lesser lights,
who appear to be afraid that the negro
vii get upon an equality with them, or
they with the negro, we don't exactly
know which, and who are shocked with
the Improperly Of putting arms into the
hands Of men Of color.

Among the officers who distinguished
themselves at Chicamauga, and of whom

New York, Oct THE Times
Washington dispatch says colored bar
Der, direct from Richmond, where ne
has resided the last eighteen years, VINO
has been in close contact with leading
rebels, says the battle of Chickamauga
is not considered by the people OF Rich
mond success; that Richmond can now
be easily captured if the ankees want
it, and that thessoficers of the army have
frequently said in his hearing, it would
be abandoned should the army of the
Potomac advance in force. Many cltl-
zens assert publicly, they will not otter
any resistance in case of an attack,
because it would be utterly useless. The
people are daily sending their effects
| further South, in anticipation of the COM
ing of the Yankees. One day last week
| the State Guard was called out to sup
press thr ltened bread riot. Hundreds
| of employees of Government, with their
wives and the wives of soldiers, assem-,
bled in front of the State capital, armed
with clubs and other weapons, demand
ing of the authorities relief for their
starving children. An extensive riot
was only prevented by the prompt action
of the State Guard and presence OF the
State authorities and the action of the
Virginia Legislature last Friday, would
seem to confirm the statement that the
forces between the Rapidan and Peters
burg is only $4,000 tits suggestional
fact mentioned by this colored man, that
Stuart has failed to get commission as
Lieut.. General on account of his numer
Gus defeats.

Herald, says a few days since Captain
Schaffcr, of the 85th New York, with &
DETACHMENT of the 10th New York regi

regiment, visited the enemy's salt worl
at Nagshead and destroyed the works

: salt
! The enemy was making about l5'
bushels per night, and sending it acros
