Destitution OF the Rebel Army.

A gentleman in this city, received recently
through his brother, who is on board govern
ment steamer, in North Carolina makes the
follwing extract froma Georgia paper, show
ing the destitution of the rebel army.
1t is questionable whether our armies are
most in need of reinforcements, of men or
more ample and satisfactory rations, for those
now in camp. Especially is this questionable
ia ref erence to the armies In Tennessee and
Northern Georgia. The complaints that
have reached us OF short rations are many and
bitter.
We copy one from a letter to the Atlanta
Register, dated Jan. 1st: Does the govern
ment know that the soldiery now fighting TOR
its existence, receives a quantity of food pos
itively insufficient 20 allay the pdngs of haa-
ger? 1t ought TO know it.
1t is a fact, stubborn fact. Our soldiers
get too little corn meal, miserabty poor beef,
and rotten potatoes; TO allay the paagS of
absolute hunger, whatever may be written to
the contrary by newspaper correspondents
from posts or staff positions OF ease and plep-
ty they are without ares to chop their
.frecood. They have hardly one third the
utensils absolutely necessary to cook the mis-
erable pittance issued. They are one sixth of
them barefoot, and the remainder but little
better supplied with shoes. They are desti-
tute of one half the clothing and blankets
necessary TO the protection of their person
against the bleak frosts of winter. This COM
plant comes from the very army, the officers
of which lately men,ordliEed Congress to put
into the ranks for the war, all men between
the ages offs and so, able to do any military
duty; and, to meet emergencies all males Le-
tween 10 and is and 80 and GO, at the d.
rection of the President THE would de-
plete the production department of the coun-
try OF its entire uhite labor. 1t would dimin-
ish to an alarming extent the agricultural
productive ofthe country, at the very time,
when the soldiers in the army are suffering
from an insuficiency of food and clothing!
The memorial itself speaks of dissatisfaction
apprehended or existing from short rations
Is it only most rational and probable con-
clusion that the numerous desertioas and alb
sences without leave, to which late disasters
or inability to follow up successes have been
ascribed, are due to the short rdtioas and iu-
sufficient clothing complained of? Whether
this be so or not, it is surely the duty Of the
government duty enjoined at once by hu-
manity and sound policy-to see to it that
its troops already in the field are properly fed
and comfortably clothed, before 1t dggrGrdtes
the destitutioR noD eristing and SO loudly
complained OF, by increasing the number Of
mouths in the service to feed, and decreasing
the number of producers left at home TO feed
them.

had been wind-bound, and were now starting
on their different voyages, and before night
fall there was not one in sight.

mediate errand of yonr visit is understood to
be to examine sites for a new establishment,
adapted to the construction and repairs of

letter written by him last summer, that his
high expectations were more than fulfilled, in
the education which his son had received in
the United States Naval Academy. A very
intelligent gentleman, captain Ia the Royal
Navy, to whom gave letter of introduction
the week before the last to my friend Captain
Fairfax the Commaudant of Midshipmen at
Newport, told me, on his return to Boston,
that he had found the organization and ad-

that they had nothing,upon the same scale, in

AN ECCENTRIC lNFIDEL.-A correspondent
of the Northeastern Adrocate says that the
following quaint anecdote was related TO him
by an itinerant of the Ohio Annual Confer
ence:
| was sent, said he, to Gallipolis Circuit
and having fulfilled the labors of the Sabbath
on an autumnal evening, was invited by an
inhdel to go home with him. | accepted, most
cheerfully, and was treated with affable
courtesy and the respect due to minister of
the gospel of Christ. In the morning, as |
took my leave, my infdel friend courteously
invited me to call on him whenever 1t should
suit my convenience. This l generally did,
as | came TO this appointment throughout the
year. As the year neared its close, / thought
would call and offer payment to my host,
lest he should charge me, and through me
ministers generally, with neglect in paying
just dues. called for my bill. He brought
forth his books, where was charged in mer-
camille style for board, housekeeping, etc.,
sums amounting to fifteen or twenty dollars.
/ was amazed told him | could not pay it
now, but when came again, before left the
circuit, | would cancel the debt. But stop,
says my friend, we have not done yet. Let
us see what is on the other side. He then
produced an amazing credit of one dollar for
every sermon | had preached in that place
during the year, whether he was present or
absent; siXpence for every blessing asked at
his table; and shilling for every prayer |
offered in the family, save one when l knelt
on one foot and knee-its credit was a six
pence. The aggregate of credit surpassed
the debt some three or four dollars, which he
immediateO produced, passed over to me
and we parted in mutual friendship and love.
