~ TIE Confederate Government when il
found its paper issues overwhelmingly large,
proposed a heavy tax on its own issues to

thus do something to lower the premium On

THE Herald's New Orleans dispatch has a
rumor of a mutiny in one of the forts below
Mobile, and the mutineers repulsed q, force
sent against them with great slaughter
The rumor probably arose from the fact of

the rebel forts, and That many deserters had
reached our feet. These deserters report
that . rebel cavalry regiment, six hundred

Q question of supplies and fortifcations.-
he had the mounted troops necessary for
securing the supplies the country Afforded.
The O~onfederateS have found that country
of great importance to them for supplies
The result was that cur troops have hardly
had full rations ct any time, and Is soon %
winter set in they were reduced to hall,
then quarter rations, and their animals
were disabled by want Of forage, and died
off rapidly.
Beside the misfortunes Of . commander
who wished to reap his lsurels and leave
before completing his work, 700 mucn time
and attention were wasted In pohticaily re-
storing the Union, and giving audience to
dubois inhabitants, and too little to mill

It is yet q mystery why, when General
Sherman marched his force into Tennessee
and reported it to Gen. Burnside, his
ranking officer, something was not done by
this ~adequete force to capture or drive out
Longstreet. But Sherman's corps marched
up and marched down, and Longstreet at
his leisure returned to his 1utton-the
siege Of Knoxville. Immediately, we find
the enemy in possession OF all the good
foraging country, and our forces confined
to q narrow range, growing narrower by the
loss of their horses by the loss OF the
forage.
Under Gen. Foster things have gone
from bad to worse. 1t is probable that we
have generals in the West competent for
that command, and b etter adapted to it,
The necessity of placing Major Generals

New management is necessary in East
Tennessee. We hope Gen. Sheffield is the
man wanted. The situation there hardly
warrant the apparent ease and complacency
in military circles in the West.

sREFuRNED TO THEIR ALLEGIANcE--The
Toledo Commercial speaks of six hundred
sad eighty recruits which passed through
that city on Saturday last; on their way
Eastward, where they were to be sworn
ipto the United States naval service. This
hsdy Of recruits were formerly, every man
efthsm, in the rebel army, but were cap
tured sometime age and have been in prison
issChicago ever since. While there they
have been afforded time to reflect upon the
eyilpess Of their course, and have, as a con-
sequence, returned to their lawful ale
glance. They appear to be very sincere in
their protestations of their new born love
for the old flag, and are anxious to have a
bout with their former friends, the rebels.
We hope they will be gratifed to the full
sxtant Of thei. sanguine desire, and that
when tried they will not be found wanting.
The question will probably arise as to what
Ststs these new tangled enlistments will be
credited. As thew enlisted in Chicago,
Illinois will probably claim the privilege of
their being credited to her.
