EooD's AKMT.-The following from
the Memphis Appeal of the 22d ult, al
though not SO late, gives US some definite
idea Of Hoods operations and position
up &c that time
1--WE have been able 10 obtain some
thing definite as to the late operations OF
our forces north Of the Chattahooches,
and on the line of Shermau's railroad
communication The active part on the
railroad was borne by S.ewait's rerps, and
tie results were not materially diferer
FROM what has been already stated From
Biz Shanty to Altoona the facts ara
known, EroE this point the troops were
moved to Frlck's or Rocky Ford on tn
Etowah, twelve miles ablye Rome, from.
uhence .hey marched to the road near
Calhoun, and destroyed it TO within Z
sbort distance Of Rssaca The latter point
was found strongly fortified and garrison
cd, aud it was avoided, but the read was
truck again below TiltOn, and destroyed
from that pcint to the vicinity or Tunnci
Hill.
hS - NAE u ~ tNDhNio ~ bl4tOuy On
the circu attending the sureR
der, have been made public The store
OF all kind seized were immense in q1aa-
tity, aud among them were large quan-
tity of shoes These will be acceptable to
the Army Of Tennessee, not only in en-
ahllng il better 10 undergo the hardship5
If tie arduoas campaigai; is now engaged
y ne IL IN al n so,7
dlscomiorts of the approaching winter
The supply, we are assured, was ample.
The corps of Lee and Cheatham were
moved Northward, crossing the Coosa, ten
miles below Rome The Federal arm-
crossed the "Etowah" above this place .-
IL was with the cavalry upon the enemy
left flank that the skirmish, heretofore re-
ported, occurred. Rome was DO, occupied
by our forces at any tune.
Af.cr the success at Dalton, and tho
complete destruction Of the rosd in that
vicinity, General Hood united his forces
in the vicinity Of Lees aud Gordon :
mills, tie point AT when the left Of or
army rested at The commencement Of the
battle Of Chickamauga There can be Do
improperly in mentioning this, as activ e
operations were at once commenced, aud
By this tune the programme and scene Of
operations las entirely changed. In what
directions an advance was made, or tho
pcint nimo-l at we may not alluds 70.
Gen. Beauregard, who remained e.
several days at jacksonville, Ala, ex-
pressed his cordial appreciation of the plaa
of The campaigns now progressing, aud
gave frequent assurances of his confidence
in its ultimate success He left for the
army on Wednesday morning"

How TH- SOUrH WILL PAY IT. DEBTs.
A letter in the London Morning Post,
on the Southern Cenfederacy, contains
the following important and interesting
Information:
Before proceeding in the inquiry as to
the resources vf tile South. ID NAV lie
well to examine the capacity OF tie ma
ton 10 sustain itself and pay the inter-
est Of the debt after the war At Tie
present moment the Indebtedness is
about ESQ 000, 900, funded in and s
per cent. boRds: l50,OOO. 600 in 1 per
cents, and 81 1000, ,000 ia treasury notes.
aud other debts upon which no iAterest
il paid III tile war could bc terminated
within twelve months, by Nd possibility
could the annual interest ezceel GA
GO0, 0,0G0, or the total debt BE- more than
$4,000, 100000.
On peace establishment our annual
expenses should not exceed &c. .000. 600
which would make a total Of E2U. .00O.-
coo to be provided for. Now take Tie
cotton crop alone IS basis Of revennc
and you Will find that in 1860 We pro-
duccd 2,0T5, ,TT5, 200 lbs. The Southern
planter can make large profits at Cd
per 10. Suppose our Government takes
it all at that price for ten years, aud
thus has monopoly. or supp use more
probable case, that an export duty shall
be levied upon H. How mach can Eng
land afford tn give for cottUn7 With alI
the efforts tO dcvclopc India III. supply
ID vastly inadequate, and the price To
day paid for u miserable article OF cot
ton is nearly %, and the price for Amer
lean sd. lfsucli encouragement as this
high price will not bring frward the
staple from India, what viii be the re-
suit when prices are reduced, aud we
can again pnt American cotton i'll the
market at I'D? Judging from present
appearances, Indian would not bc worth
more than I'D; and if its cultivation
could not be fostercd at 24d, what would
become of it at l2dl The British nation
has bitterly struggled against the un.
welcome fact tllat American cotton must
control tho market, and that il can ont
run all competition. III III time fO; tha
nation To open it, eyes to another fact
not less certain.
The longer this war goes on, The
greater will be the amount Of tax paid
By the English people. Cotton will be
made the basis OF payment Of our In
dcbtcdncss and the creator the amount
of debt, the greater will be the export
duty which the foreign Consumer must
pay. Having 40 article which meets
with ready sale and steady demand, we
will thus pay our debts by contributions
from that world which locked on with
out remonstrance or offer of mediation.
and was yet unwisc enough not to see
that, in the end. onr losses would bc on

space for their rehearsal in your col
umns Ia 1916 a treaty Of amnesty was
made between tie two parties headed
by Ross on the one hand and Waite on
the other, which gave the latter a little
respite from his prosecutors. To be
short, l will say, that when the present
war broke out, Waite raised regi-
ment under the brave Gen. Ben McCul-
loch. In | 81 he performed many gal
liant Gcts in the southern part Of Kansas,
and was in the battle Of Elk Horn, where
he and his regiment distinguished them
selves All this time Ross was neutral,
sas and Oak Hills, where Southern arms
were victorious. Waite declared Ross
and his Pin Indians, organized under
the tutorship Of Evan Jones and his son
John, tO be, at heart, opposed 70 the
Southern cause. Ross, however, 10
hOodwink the people Of the Confederate
States, entered into treaty with our
Government, and raised regiment,
which proved set Of traitors, after
swearing TO fight for the South. While
he was protesting his fidelity - the Con-
lcderatc States, he was secretly carrying
on negotiations with the Fedei als, which
soon eliminated IL bis going over To Lin
coln, body and soul, with all The Pins.
This proved the prediction of Waite 10
be well founded, for nc well knew tn c
baseness Of Ross and the leaders under
him.

me to rehearse it here, and, ia fact, il il
impossible for me to record the many dar-
ing deeds that he has performed. Suffice
it 10 say, that his acts Of courage and pa
trioiism have been such as to cause Pres
idcDt Davis to appoint him Brigadier Gen
