RebeI Deserters En,ering The Navy.


The detachment of rebel prisoners, nearly
three hundred in number, who arrived from
tile West last evening in charge OF the Chica-
90 ZOuayes, are now on board the United
States receiying-ship ohio, undergoing the
preliminary preparations for service in the
navy Of the United States. The men gener-
ally are well pleased with their new quarters,
and manifest much delight at the prospect OF
warm clothing and an abundance of rations,
They were Invested oftheir " butternut uni
forms this morning, which were cast reckless
u into the stream, and after being treated to
a generous bath, they were supplied with the
bright blue uniforms ofthe Union navy. Many
OF the men were very scantily clad, and they
were also remarkably filthy. Nearly one
third of the whole number are foreigners, the
Irish and Germans preGomindting, and they
are chiefly from Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia
and Alabama They are evidently unused to
the northern climate, from the shuddeTing cX-
pressions at the storm this morning, but with
comfortable clothing and an abundance of ra-
tons, which have been 50 rare during their
service in the Confederate armies, they will
have little disposition to complain.
The majority of them are comparatively 10
norant, although there are "A few well educa-
ted and intelligent among them. One of the
| latter, Tennesean talked quite freely upon
the q" situation of affairs in rebeldom as fan
| as his knowledge extended He confirms the
numerous reports from the South, that the
people were heartily sick Of the war, and are
! anxious for peace on any terms and he has
not the slightest doubts but Bragg's whole
army would desert in a body If the slightest
opportunity was offered. When told Of the
new call of the President for half a million OF
men. he said that fact, even if the number
were not raised, would severely dampen the
already declining spirit of the Confederate
leaders. lie characterized Bragg as merci-
less tyrant, with very limited military abili-
ties, and extremely unpopular with his com
mand. He said the superiority Of Gen. Grant
over Bragg was generally acknowledged in
the Western rebel army, and the men in the
ranks are anything Tut enthusiastic to fight
against him. Added to this the men in
| Braggs army are poorly clad and fed, and
their anxiety TO be made comfortable when
within our lines more than overcomcs THEN
patriotism and hope for success. One OF
them. on being asked why they did not sle
daddle, replied there was no place to skedad
die TO, for if they found their way home they
were Immediately conscriptcd, and, if not
shot for desertion, they were sent back into
the army. Their only hope he said, l. whcr
they are safely within the Union lines, auJ
/ he would repeat the fact that an opportunity
for escape in this quarter is all that is desired
by Bragg's army.-BoStoa Journal.
