DISAPPEARANCE OF YOUNG GIRLs.-Ad-
vertisements for young girls just in their
teens, who have disappeared from their
homes, are quite common now. There was
never before time in Rochester when the
street walkers were SO numerous asat pre-
sent--and they are many of them of the
younger class, little more than Children
The liberal expenditures of bounty money
has something to do with this state Of things,
no doubt, here and elsewhere. If the war
continues much longer, our people will be
so thoroughly debauched, that there will
be little worth saving in the nation.-Ro-
chester Union. .s.s- soi t-a - .
The West Virginia Herald bad an ad-

Civil wars are the fruitful sources of the
kind of profigacy noticed by the Rochester
Union and of every species of crime
Mems principles become unsettled, in whom
we should expect still stronger reliance
upon their convictions, and the unstable
are all at sea, without the steady guides ne
cessary for their direction and support
Desperadoes then come up, capable of a
bold and extraordinary crime, and the land
is scourged for its offences against God and
man. Such, In brief, are the natural and
usual consequences of the style of senti
ment now prevalent under the false name
Of progress" otherwise called radiealisn,
which is attempting to remove every social

The Rebel Army I'm Georgia.
From the Richmond Dispatch.
DALTON, Ga, Dec.

DALTON, GA, Dec, III, 1868.
But little importance is attached to the
report circulated in Atlanta, in regard to the
appointment of General Johnston to the
command of this army, with General Bragg
as Chief of-staf. While such an arrange
ment of the command would give satisfae
ton to the army, the belief in well inform
ed circles is that it will not be made. Its
more likely that General Beauregard will
be sent to us. If Longstreet were here, or
should he succeed in extricating himself from
the difficulties which beset him liz east
Tennessee, tbs not improbable that he would
be the man. Meanwhile, General Hardee,
who consents to hold the position only TEN
porarily, is busily engaged in reorgauiziug
the army and preparing it for active lu-
ty.
We have nothing from the front worth
reporting. That Sherman has gone, with
heavy reinforcements, to the relief of Burn
side, there can be no doubt. Scouts report
that there are but few troops left at Chat
tanooga, but they are not agreed as to the
points to which they have gone, if indeed
many of them have left the vicinity at all
1t will require some weeks for the reinforcing
expedition to complete its work in East
Tennessee and return to Chattanooga. In
fact, it is not believed that their forces can
return. and sufficient supplies and trans
portation be accumulated for further ad-
vance into Georgia, before next spring
But it is unsafe to reason about the move
msnts of the enemy. With such victory
as that of Mission Ridge and such an army
rs he mas at Chattanooga and in East Ten
nsssse, he may conclude that the Oonfed
crates are in no condition to resist him, and
consequently decide upon a winter cam
paign. II such are his iatentions, however,
it is impossible to explain his conduct in de-
stroying the Georgia State Railroad from
Ringgold back to Chickamaugs Station, and
the Georgia and East Tennessee Road
from Cleveland to point twelve miles this
side. ,SaS55-t -lEreJ u
The following table embraces our casual
ties during the late battles around Chatta-
nooga, including the affairs on Lookout
Mountain and at Ringgold, a. well ss the
battle on Mission Ridge. It viii be seen
that our loss in killed and wounded is very
slight-a fact which can only be accounted
for on the theory that our forces were well
protected by their position. The greater
part of the loss on the ridge occurred after
our lines were broken and subjected to en-
filading fire. The artillery is not included
in the table:

Jefferson Davis Denounced as Dictator
From the Richmond Examiner, Dee. 20

O. From the Rcnm0nQ Doc.
The astounding propositions which have
signalized the first days of this present sess-
ion, for placing the entire population OF
the Confederate States in the field, leaving
no producers Of food to feed the enormous
army 80 raised, and no tax payers to ti1d
the money to furnish it, have created con
siderable sensation. A feeling OF despond-
eney has been produced by them among re-
Elective observers; not by the prospect OF
the universal cessation Of national life and
organization, which the realization of those
wild projects would certainly cause-for no
one can fail to see that there is no danger
of realizing a patent impossibility; but by
the sing ular want Of discernment whlc b
they indicate. 1t is difficult to believe that
many members of the Congress really in
tend the establishment of q dictatorship IN
this country, still less to make Mr., Davis
dictator. Yet it requires but little rehec-
ton to perceive that such law lately sug
gested in his message, suggestion which
members of Congress have taken in trust
from it, is nothing more nor less than that
An entire nation can not remain in the
field more than twenty-four hours, under
the penalty of death by starvation. A law
requiring the whole population to take up
arms and go into camp is nullity. Few
will dispute the remark; and the President
blandly proposed that the power and dis.
erection should be given him to "detail
such persons rs he pleased to continue the
pursuits of civil life.. The relative mum
bsrs Of those in the army and those out OF
it, might not be changed by a law of nniyer-
sal enrolment, if accompanied by TINS
provifion. The sole differences between the
present and prospective condition OF the
military force and nation, would be- the
change of "details" for "exempts.n One OF

with it. TDece exists small faction in
this country who have long clamored for
this measure, because, they expect pow
er. profit and revenge from it, But it is
impossible to believe that those who have
echoed this cry in some of the resolutions of
fered in Congress intended to do so. A res

Libby Prison-Rsbel Accounts OF Our PrIs
ers' Life.
From the Richmond Wing, December 10

From the Richmond Whig, December l6 "a
The Richmond correspondent of the At
lanta Appeal describes arecent visit to the
Hotel de Libby, in this city. He says that
he found the passages and ante-rooms OF the
prison piled up With boxes and bales OF
clothing and provisions which had just
been received from the North by flag Of
truce. Upon ascending to the upper stories
of the building occupied by the prisoners,
he saw the greatest profusion of comforts
and luxuries in the way of procant that
even a riotous Imagination could conceive.
Hams, smoked beef, Bologna sausages, hung
from the rafters; tin cans of potted meat,
oysters, sardines, green peas, &C., were ar.
ranged on shelving against the walls; while
the finest pippins rolled along the fioors
Immense packages of new publications, sets
of chessmen, backgammon boxes, &C., which
had apparently just been opened for distri-
button, proved that the Yankees did not
intend their unhappy brethren should
die of eanui. : il
The prisoners themselves were variOusly
occupied, some lying atfull length on the
floor, deeply involved in the tragic incidents
of Miss Braddon's novels, Others were play
ing whist and euchre, or deeply pond ering
the gambits others asleep, Others eating
their dinners. Brigadier Gen. Neal Dow
was tapping up the soup furnished by the
prison cook, with evident satisfaction. Que
man only was reading the Bible. All look
ed remarkably cheerful and seemed in fine
health The receipt of boxes from home no
doubt had something to do with their good
spirits, but before those creature comforts
arrived they were contented and hearty
