ADJUTANT GENERAL s OFFICE,
Washington, Oct %, 1861. 4.
The following plan for paying to the
families of officers and soldiers in the
service of the United States, who are,
or may become prisoners of war, sums
due them by the Government, having
been approved by the President, it is
published for the information of all con-
cerned
Payment will be made to persons pre-
senting written authority from pris.
soner to draw his pay; Or, without such
authority, to his wife; or the guardian
of his minor children; or his widowed
mother-in the order named. Applica.
tion for such pay must be made to the
senior Paymastsr of the district in which
the regiment of the prisoner is serving,
and must be accom panied by the certifi-
cate of Judge of the Court of the
United States, of a District Attorney of
the United States, or of some other par
ty, under the seal of Court Of Record
of the State in which the applicant is a
resident, setting forth that the said .ap-
plicant is the wife of the prisoner, the
guardian of his children, or his widowed
mother, and, ifoccupying either of the last
two relationships toward him, that there
is no one in existence who is more near
ly related, according to the above CLASH
fication. Payment will be made to par
ties thus authorized and identified on
their receipts made out in the manner
that would be required of the prisoner
himself-at least one months pay being
in all cassss retained by the United
States. The officer making the payment
will see that it is entered on the last pre-
vious muster-roll for the payment of the
prisoners Company; or will report it, if
those rolls are not in his possession, to
the senior Paymaster of the district, who
will either attend to the entry, or give
notice of the payment to the Paymsster
General if the rolls have been forwarded
to his Office. .,trr- elrse

Movements OF the Rebels In the vi.
q 9e.e cinity OF Knoxville.
L. THOMAS,
Adiutant General.


The Cincinnati Gasette's special cor
respondence from Knoxville, 22d, con-
tains the following:
Our entire force crossed the Holston
at Strawberry Plains, and fell back to a
new position. Our loss in stores at
Strawberry Plains was quite severe; sew
sral caissons were blown up, and not less
than 200 stragglers were picked up by
the rebels After crossing the Holston,
our troops bnrnt the bridge and every
thing likely to fall into the hands of the
enemy. Among other things are con-
siderable amount of new clothing, which
had just been shipped us, was destroyed.
This is believed to have been uncalled
for, The men are suffering for clothing,
and had the soldiers been allowed to
help themselves, but little would have re-
mained for the flames The falling back
from Strawberry Plains was very much
like skedaddle. The rebels had a bat
terry on College Hill, near Strawberry
Plains, from which he played on US while
crossing the river, but inflicted no seri-
GUS damage. sf~t t-5esax @
0nlya half-dozen were wounded The
two. divisions of the 4th corps, which
crossed the river at Knoxville on the
2lst, had orders to continue their march
to Secessionville, but on the morning of
the 22d, the order was countermandsd
Early on the morning of the 22d, the
rebels and our sharpshooters were skirm-
ishing across the river at Armstrong;,
which is only six miles above Knoxville
One squad of Longstreets men have
since been reported to be within four
miles of the city. The movements of
the enemy are clearly understood, but
the impression continues here that we
are on the eve of siege. The latest
information by scouts from the front, is
that very few troops had crossed the
French Bird River at cambridge
: The mails via of Cumberland Gap have
been discontinued for the present, and
are sent via Chattanooga ga
Men have been put to work on the for
tifcation around the city, and several
batteries have been brought in and plac-
ed in positions. Our cavalry advanced
to Secessionville but did not meet the
enemy Longstreet has a strong and
well fortified position at Bulls Gap,
where the Tennessee and Virginia rail-
road cuts the mountain. Making this
the base, he can, with great facility,
throw his forces into the valley on either
side. Whatever may be the enemys in
tention, matters will not remain long in
the present condition Ia3i2f

porting, ginning, storing, and selling the
cotton, wages of laborsrs, salaries of

PADDY ON sAMBo AS A SOLDIER,

The following spirited song, which was
sung to the tune of the slow Backed
Car" at the recent banquet of the Irish
Brigade in this city, is very significant
of the rapid popularity which the negro
is gaining, even with Irish, for the hand
some part he has already played as an
American soldier:
Some tell us tbs burning shame sac
To make the naygurs fight;
An that the thrade of bein' kilt ssH
Belongs but to the white;
But as for me, upon my sowll
So liberal are We here,
I'll let Sambo be murdered in place Of myself
On every day in the yearl
On every day in the year, boys,

The right to be kilt I'll divide wild him,
