A NOVEL PRoJEcT.-Gen. Ben. Frentiss, the
hero OF Helena, who was the chief officer in COM
mand at the West when the war broke out, aad
who spent the year after the battle at Corinth in
rebel prison, breaches a novel plan, and one he
would doubtless carry out if he had chance
He SAYS he would like no better amusement than
to be put in command often thousand cavalry ;
that with this force he could 60 from Texas to
Richmond and that when he comes out he will
have thirty thousand mules with an ablc-tQdied
negro on every one. In addition he would bring
thousands of fighting Union men. He would de-
stroy all the rebel communications and burn their
factories, arsenals and foundries.
NOVEL EFFECT OF SECOND MARRIAGE.-One

Pay Department of the South.

The particular attention of all officers and SOL
diers of this command is called to the following
extracts from Gen. Orders and Circular:
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10, 1868.
The following arrangement of Pay Districts, as
at present divided is published for the information
and guidance of all concerned:
Pay District of the South-Consisting OF the
Military Department of the South and including
Key Vest and the Tortugas; in charge OF MAJOR
Dwight Bannister, Additional Paymaster U. ). A,
at Hilton Head, sc.
The officers in charge of the various Pay Dis
tricts, will superintend the payment required OF
the Pay Department within their respective dis
trcts. Muster rolls of troops in the field and at
posts where there are no Paymasters stationed,
should be forwarded to the Chief Paymaster OF
the District, who will place them in the hands OF
one OF his subordinates for payment.
All questions and inquiries relating to the pay
OF officers and men, should be addressed to the
chief Paymaster of the District in which such otti-
GERS or men are serving, who will take the neces-
sary action on same or, if it appears to be required,
refer the case to the Paymaster General.

goes; his claim to chivalry has gone before him.
Behind he leaves the legitimate chivalry of this
unbounded nation centered in the illegitimate son
of a Kentucky horse-thief.
But few more words, iustrious President, and
he is done done gone.
Elevated by their suferings and sufrages to the
highest office in the gift of great and exceeding
free people, you have held your position without
a change of base, or purpose of any sort, through
weary months of war, and want, and woe; and
though every conscrpt would unite with the thous.
ands ofloyal and true men in the South in grand
old griefat your downfall, SO too will they sink
under the calamity of an exquisite joy when you
shall have reached that eminent meridian whence
all progress is perpendicular.
And now, bastard President of political abor-
ton, farewell.
"Scalp hunters" relic, pole, and chivalrous
confederates in crime, goodbye. Except it be in
the army of the Union, you will not again see the
conscript, NORMAN HAROLD,
of Ashe County, n. G.

CONDITION OF LEES ARMY.-Marks, recent de-
serter from Lees army, came down the valley by
way of Staunton, Harrisonburg and Strasburg.
He saw but few troops on the way. Imboden was
at Strasburg. He had two brigades of cavalry and
two batteries of artillery. The fight at Smokers
vile was between detached portions of different
regiments, Georgians and North Carolinians. They
deserted, bringing with them their arms. They
attacked Stuarts cavalry at Smokers Ferry, rout-
ed them, and succeeded in getting off to the noun
tains. The impression in the rebel army and
among the citizens of the Shenandoah valley is
that the South must soon succumb and that the
war is nearly over. Marks saw aboutone hundred
soldiers-Georgians, North Carolinians, Alabami-
ans and Texans-gong on their way home, having
openly deserted. The Blue Ridge mountains are
alive with stragglers and deserters who have their
arms with them. So numerous are they that in
travelling along the mountain side they have actu-
ally made paths. The provost guards stationed
along the route are afraid to interfere with them
on account of their numbers, save when travelling
alone. The conscription is being rgidly enforced.
Marks left Lees army between Orange Court House
and the Rapidan. EwelEs Corps was at Gordons-
vile. The rebel loss in the fight at Brandy station
was vely severe. They acknowledge defeat.
A negro drummer deserted from Lees army on
Saturday. He reports that on Wednesday moln-
ing the whole of General Lees army, with the ex-
ception of \. P. Hill's corps, moved from Cupep-
per Court House, by the Fredericksburg road,
lie also confirms the stories of the decentralization
of the North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama
troops Those from North Carolina in Hill's corps,
have openly revolted, and swear they will fight
no longer. The Mississippi troops are clarnorous
to be sent home.

A SAD CoIsCIDEyCE--One day week since, q
lady living in this county, few miles from the
city, brought parcel to of the express Offices
to forward to her husband in the army. 1t con-
tanned some articles that she had prepared with
her own hands. Her two little children were with
her. The clerk looked at the name and address
and turned away to hide his emotion. That very
morning one of those ominous boxes which crowd
our trains from the South had arrived with the
nam upon it which was upon the parcel. The
remains of the husband and father were at that
moment at the depot. The shock to the poor lady
was terrible. Howmany thousand heart breaking
scenes are enacted every day, similar in some re:
spccts to this.-Ipdianapohs Indy Sentinel.

PUNCrUALITY.-Soldier should be minutemen.
Punctuality is one of the most valuable habits
soldier can possess 81 owe all my suacess in life
to having been always quarter of an hour before
nv time,' was the remark of Lord Nelson. WASH
ington attributed so much importance to punctu-
ality that when his secretary laid the blame for
lateness of his attendance upon his watch, he
said ssThen you must get another watch or l
another secretary" Blucher's promptitude gain
ed for him the title of ssMarshal Forward" Jer-
Wis, afterward Earl st. Vincent, was asked when he
would be ready to join his ship. and replied, "Di-
rectly.'' And when Sir Colin Campbell, appointed
to the command of the Indian army was asked
when he could set out, his answer was, ssTomOr-
row. So, it is well remarked by Napoleon, that
ssEvery moment lost gives an opportunity for
misfortune"
Soldiers who are imbued with the invincible
spirit of lofty valor will not willingly cause any
one to wait for them, Sir Walter Scott has viv-
idly pictured the obedient activity of valent men
of men who are always good for more than dou-
BILE their number-in describing the swift assem-
bling of the warriors of Rhoderick Dhu;
Instant from copes and heath arose
Bonnets and spears and bended bows;
On right, on left above, below,
Sprung up at once the lurking foe;
From shingles gray their lances start,
The broken bush sends forth the dart,
The rushes and the willoY wand
Are bristling into axe and brand,
And every tuft of broom gives life
To plaided warrior armed for strife.
That whistle garrisoned the glen
Al once with full hve hundred men;
AS ifthe yawnng hills to heaven
A subterranean host had given"

The Wilmington Journal is very indignant at
the "citizens' of the South. 1t says the presence
of the Union troops on Morris Island is owing to
the refusal of the Charlestonians to furnish Beau
regard with hands to level the hills on the isllnd,
behind which our troops sheltered themselves on
landing, and to build more batteries at the lower
part of the island. They excused themselves say
ing that the raising of crops was equally patriot
ic duty. The JournGl says that similar difficulty
also exists at Wilmington, Gen. Whiting not being
able to secure men enough to construct proper de-
fenses, and calls it g. traitorous dogmatism - which
urges those who have laboring men 10 spare to re-
fuse them. 1t also earnestly points to the great
danger, not only to the locality but to the Con-
federacy, from this refusal.

A Conscript's Epistle to jeff. Davis.

The following quaint epistle has been furnished
for publication by member of the Mounted Rifles,
who picked it up in a deserted rebel camp on the

VERY UNpArRIoTIc.-At a special
town meeting held in Newport on the I'd
inst, a proposition to assist the drafted
men of said town to p rocure substitutes
or to pay those who should 60 themselves
was voted down. Shame on the town !!
This is not a very pretty record for town
that claims to be the metropolis of all
Gods creation; that has steamboats, and
railroads running right into her busy
marts; that wants the county buildings
and considering the above vote de-
serves the JAIL! Those who voted the
proposition down ought to be lulled to
sleep by the hiss of the copperhead.-
