instances soldiers have been swindled out
of a considerable portion OF their money,
through the schoncs Of interested parties

The Clerk of the Georgia House Of Repre-
sentatiVes Within our Lines.

Joseph Camp, late editor of the atlanta
COntederdcy and the Georgia Times, and
the present Clerk of the House of Repre-
sentatives of Georgia, has arrived in Nash
vile, having been compelled to leave the
south IN consequence Of the publication of
an article advocating the restoration OF the
Union. Mr.. Camp gives an interesting
statement Of the effairs in the south, which
appears in the Nashville Union of the 9th.
He says that universal dependency ex-
lists throughout the south; at least three
fourths Of the people believing that, as there
is no hope for the success of the Confedera
cy, the sooner they return to the Union the
better, as each day of hostility increases the
difficulties which surround the making of
peace. But it is impossible, at present for
this sentiment to become demonstrative.
jeff Davis, he says, Is the greatest tyraRt
living; and wherever his power extends
there is neither freedom Of speech nor free
dom Of person and before return to the
Union is possible, the rebel army must be
dispersed. He regards Hoods force nolon-
ger formidable, In military point of view;
is small in numbers, and is greatly demor-
allied bat it is yet sufficiently strong TO
intimidate unarmed people, especially as
the male portion of these people consists of
only decrepid old men, or young boys-eve-
ry one capable of bearing arms having been
sent to the army by the conscripting officers.
Break the army of Lee, he thinks and that
OF Hood viii disperse, and there are no 9th
erS worthy to be called a military organize
tion east Of the Mississippi river.
Mr.. Camp states that the rebel leaders say
that if Mcclellan is beaten they have no
hope; that there Is not sufficient vitality in
the Confederacy to keep it alive. They,
therefore, viii look to eventual submission
in case of the reelection Of Mr.. Lincoln !;
and since the faff of ATLANTA they regard that
certain; and they are, therefore, very anx-
