and, abandoning his camp equippage and sup
plies, set out at once for Chattanooga. In
day or two Gen. Mitchell sent small detach
ment over in canoes and made a bonfire O
Leadbetter's stores and equippage. Pursuing
the "skedaddliug" chivalry to Shell Mound, q
Railway Station seven miles farther up the
Tennessee, Mitchell's brave fellows discovered
large quantity of bacon bearing G. S. brands

and the merry captors jumping aboard had a
free ride at Confederte expense. Nearing the
river the boys, unmindful of the destruction of
the bridge, and forgetting in their sport to
put on the brakes, found themselves driven to
the paradoxical alternative of losing their
bacon in order to save bacon Of more
precious quality. So, leaping from the cars,
they committed their swinish trophies to the
engulphing waters of the Tennessee. Gen.
Mitchell not designing to. hold the place, now
pletely severed rebel connections by rail be-
tween Chattanooga and Nashville. ~. ,zs.1
After the retreat of Buell. and the advance
of the rebel army into Kentucky, great efforts
were made by Bragg for the reconstruetion of
the bridges. But in all rebeldom, Ias Union
citizens aver) engineers could not be found
who were capable of accomplishing the work
The same authorities positively assent that
Bragg sent emissaries to the North, who by
the influence of Confederate gold and the
pledge of protection secured the services of a
Northern firm by whom the bridges were re-
built This is no idle story, but comes well au-
thenticated and bears upon its face the marks
of plausibility, It is also affirmed that the
persons who undertook this perfdiousi enter
prise were from Ohio, even from Cincinnati.

After the discontinue Of Bragg and at the
time of his retreat before the victorious Rose
Grams, the rebel General marched his columns
and drove his artillery aud trains scross these
same bridges and then destroyed them. They
were at once reconstructed by the Govern
ment and on the lst Of January last were
ready for the passage of trains. What vieis-

Report Ofthe COmmisssry General OF Prisoners.
The report Of the. Commissary General OF
prisoners, accompanying the Secretary Of
Wars report just published, shows the total
number Of Confederate officers and men cap
tured by US since the commencement of the
war to be l Lieut.. General, Major Generals,
Is Brigadiers, 1s6 Colonels, lac Lieut.. Col
aonels, 244 Majors, 1,249 Captains, 581I
Lieutenants, 1868 non. commissioned officers,
and l2O, 156 privates and $500 citizens.
Of these we had on hand at date of report,
7tWenty-nine thousand two hundreds officers and
men, among whom were one Major General
and seven Brigadier Generals There have
been one Thousand nine hundred and thirty
seven confederates exchanged, against one hun
dred and sixty-six federals returned. In com
pletion of exchanges, on both sides, officers are
computed at their exchangeable value in pri-
Yates. -lH i- is'4-. aH
Since the date of the above report there has
been less than one thousands exchanges and
very few captures on either side, consequently
the figures are approximately correct No
statement has been furnished our Government
of the number ofprisoners held by the rebels.

"gobbling" up some of them, and bringing
them to camp. If would be useless for then
to deny any connection with the matter, fol
there are too many "watch-fobs" and "Irisk
Ghanties" cut over and under their eyes, as wit
nesRes against such an argument. They turned
out to be mostly citizens, disguised a soldiers
though one was member of the 6Oth o. v.

There are about 1000 paroled men here at
present, number of them having recently
been released from Richmond and Belle Is
land. The latter presented horrible appear
.ance when they came here, so roughly did they
fire amid the innumerable graybacks Of Dixie
A short distance in the rear of the camp on
the banks Of a run, in quiet place, is the city
of the rebel dead. Here lies buried the re-
mains Of l38 persons who died in the prisons
here. This does not embrace the whole num-
Der who have died here, for many bodies were
taken away for burial. Among the number are
IL citizens, Captains, i First Lieutenant,
Second Lieutenants, Duty Sergeant, Quar-
termaster and l16 priVates. At the head of
each grave is placed board, upon which is
marked the number of the grave, the name,
rank, company, regiment, branch Of service
and date of death of deceased. Those who
died with the smallpox have the words small
pox also written on the board. The board
marking grave No. 40, contains in addition
to the number. these words, "name unknown
So, ritter this cruel war is over, and our coun-
try again becomes happy and prosperous,
should any one from Dixie visit the graveyard
to take a look at the last resting place of those
who gave their lives fo: detestable cause, the
bones of him VINO was placed in No. 40 will
have no one to drop tear to his memory, for
they could not tell who there sleeps his last
long sleep. Our old native State, which is
now about to stand forth redeemed from slav-
cry. has but one degenerate boy sleeping here.
His name is Virgil Smith, aud was a member
Of the I'd Maryland Cavalry, In the rebel ser

Wool

d e
A report in Congress shows that II ,e82, ,lO3
pounds Of wool were imported into the Uni
ted States during the fiscal year. This amount
cost $l2,290s632,a Thus the cost, according
to the return is only about II cts per pound.
An increase Of dutyI 10 EAcemmended The
general character of this imported wool is
quite coarse, and does not come in competi-
tien with the wool grown by our farmers.-
1t is. used for carpets, coarse blankets,
and fabrics where very coarse wool is desira-
BILE. But, the amount reported shows that we
should raise more wool at home. This is
likely to be profitable business for MANY years
to come. Wool is taking the place of cotton
to a considerable degree, and viii so.eontinue,
at least till cotton gets down to something
near its old price. The late sales of our
American wool in Boston, N. r, and Pills
delpbia show prices to range from 40 to 80
cts. per pound, with no prospect Of au1 ia-
crease. f-A4s.g4 20 - 'ss !ia
