from the rebel army are pouring in

great disaffection in the rebel army.
The new rebel law, enforced by
military orders, compelling all within

tutes in tho army to 60 in themselves,
has produced an extraordinary excite

About two hundred aud fifty of

taken prisoners in Fac. Tennessee,

in the ice, the upper portion, showing
the ducks head, being exposed to view.
He had stick about two feet long,

head-the lucky individual who struck
and killed the duck to have the fowl
