peIpetraisd BY our public servants, cannot re-
spOnd to this action, Snd Tebukes the weakness
sAsy have exhibited in quite emphatic terms.

OF our people if it shall prove that full eK-
change is to be effected as alleged. We cannot
conceive with whst grace officials find them
selves able to dsvour those brave words in which
they undoubtedly expressed the sentiment of
the army and the country. Nor do we believe
or imagine there vas any justifying necessity.
The exchange which had been commenced, and
had progressed so far, was = committSl of the
Washington authorities to the continuance Of il

By g gentleman from Knoxville direct, we

The rebels are stin in strong force iG East
Tennessee, and at least twelve thousand men,
under BuckneT, are mounted. On the % Ih ult.
large number of rebel cavalry came within
sight Of MorristoWn, driving in our pickets and
g number of citiKens.
The bulk of the rebel force is at Greenville,
with brigade of cavalry at Newport There
are two thousand infantry between Bulls gap
and Blae springs.
This gentleman says that the rebels are com
mittiug the most unheSrd of depredstions, rob-
bing everybody Of horses and the nscessaries Of
life.
They are also enforcing the conscript law
upen all classes physically capable Of enduring
| life in the field He says: Things are IN q
/ most deplorsble state. Men, women and chill
dren are ragged and dirty, and half starved.
/ The people Of East Tennessee cannot possibly
| live through the summer, as there Is nothing to
/ eat Money is more plenty than it was, but
| there is nothing to buy. | cannot select Ian
| guage to describe the distress and ruin which

Many persons are under misspprehsnsion OF
in uncertainty as to several points connected
with the currency, tsxes, claims upon the Gov.
ernment, etc, and the following answers 70
questions which have been addressed to Us
may prove generally acceptable.
An taxes due to the Government, whether
they are the taxes Of 1868, but not yet paid, or
the taxes assessed under the law of 1864, may
be paid in four per cent. bonds, or in the certi-
fcates on which the four per OsnE- bonds are 70
issue Where = certificate is greater in amount
than the tax proposed to be psd with it, the col
lector viii issue a new certificate for the excess
-ths tax payer making up all fractional parts
of hundred dollars in money.
Five dollar notes will be received IN payment
Of taxes of all kinds, OF may be funded ct par
in four per cent. bonds, until the Afss Of July
next; at which tims they slso will be-. taxed
one third.
Nothing can be done with notes for hun
dred dollars but fund them in foar per cent
bonds at two-thirds of their face, and subject
also to tax OF tsn dollars per month o. each
from the lat Of April.
Notes under Eve dollars are subject to no taz
or limitation, but remain euFreat as heresoforC
at their full amount.
Notes of ten dollars, twenty dollars and fifty
dollars, may be paid in taxes or funded iu fouI
per cents, or exchanged for new notes-al two
thirds their vAiue-until the Ist Of January
next, at which time al then ousstandings vii
be worthless
The idea has gained considerable circulation
that elsimS against the treasury, existing prioI
to the lst of April, would be paid in the reduced
currency, unless presented and collected before
the lst Of April. This is an error 1t is only
trus Of such as bad been adjusted and a warrant

Of deposition in the treasury, and if he failed
