would not be prudent to name, but which
can be found by the Yankees by applying

line from Deep Bottom to the Weldon rail-
road every mothers son of Yankee in

making a jubilee generally.

a train loaded with Federal prisoners ran
off the track last night at Camp Greek, on
the Southwestern railroad. Eight cars and

number of Yankees were killed and wound

rates in their removal from Point Lookout
to Elmira, New York, when similar acci-
dent occurred. r5-r .rs-r "a
Many of our officers are of the opinion
that there will be no further advance of the
enemy in Georgia this year. 1t is thought
that Sherman proposed the armistice for
the purpose of putting Atlanta in condi-
ton to be held by q small force.
The first train of exiles from Atlanta
arrived last night. They were robbed of
everything before being sent into our lines.

no agreement has yet been arrived at.

The feet in front of Mobile has been a
little increased. 1t now numbers eight
vessels. A correspondent writes from Mo-
bile:
t'The Notifications around this city are
very strong, and well provided with bomb
proofs.
Notwithstanding the many orders is'
sued from this department for women, chill
dren and non .eombatants to leave, the
city is crowded with them. Not a house
4 is to be had here, and supplies and mer-
a chandise of all kinds is higher than il
any other city in the Oonfederacy. t,
itThe balance Of Forests men arrived
Yesterday morning. They are wild
'devil may care sort of soldiers-just al
soon kill Yankee as to take drink
'old rye' presume that they will be or
dered to Hoods army.
"Mobile, it seems to me, though writ
: it aorroVfully, is one vast bed of corrup
tion-akin to Gomorrah of old. II think i
surpasses Richmond in the vastness of it
pollution, number of 'hells' and abedss o
'fashy vice."
Arrangements have hesn completed fo
the exchange of all the prisoners capture
