FROM TIE CONFEDERATE ARMY.
- deserter has arrived in our lines who Left
his regiment, the I'd Louisiana Tigers, on the
7,h inst, it being then stationed between Brandy
Station and Culpeper Court House. The "Ti-
GERS" he says, now NUMBER but 400 men. Tho
whole OF Lees army now in front Of US he
estimates at from Is 600 to 50,OO0 consisting OF
A. p. Hills, Ewell s. and part OF d. H. Hills
corps. No other troops have been sent West
from Lees army, he says, since the departure
of I4ongstreer's corps and part OF ID. II. Hills.
The talk was in the rebel army that the troops
belonging to ID. II. Hill corps would be brought
back to Lees army, now thst Hill has been
suspended from command.
He thinks that Lee does not mean to give
battle this side Of the intrenchments upon the
Rapidan n, which he describes as rather formi-
dab,e, but capable Of being turned. He de-
scribes things amongst the Confederate soldiers
as decidedly blue, in view Of their scant sup
plies of food and clothing. A considerable
portion CT the Tiger regiment are barefoot
When he left, the soldiers had been redaced to
quarter rations, and threats to desert were
openly made in camp. The allowance con-
sists solely of -four and beef.
