i--Deserters from the rebel army come
into the lines of our army ON the Poto-
mac every day One hundred and thirty
came over in one squad ON Wednesday.
The Confederate Senate on the 18th
adopted a resolution approving the ac-
ton of President Davis in the outlawry
OF Gen. Butler and the determination
to hold no communication with him.
Gov. Johnson has issued a procla-
nation for the election of county officers
in the counties of Tennessee under the
Union power. Disloyal persons are not
permitted to vote, and a verv rigid oath
is prescribed.
From Gen., Kelly's department, in
West Virginia, it is reported that the
rebels had severe conflict between
themselves few days ago, arising out
of an attempt to force conscript into
the ranks. The citizens were engaged
on one side and the soldiers on the 9TH
er; but the latter were successful.
The Nashville Dispatch says that
the Union men of East Tennessee are
very nue., in earnest for organization as
a new State. Tney fear that under the
amnesty proclamation their old enemies
in the slaveholding section will still con
troll the State to their damage and dis
comfort, and they think they have quite
as good grounds for secession as West
Virginia.
Two Alabamians who have lately
arrived at Cincinnati, represent that
there is very decided reaction in Ala
bama against the rebel leaders, which is
Immediately attributed to the wholesale
impressment of persons and the seizure
of property. As evidence Of this, the
fact is stated that resolutions indorsing
secession, Introduced into the Alabama
legislature, met with decided and unex-
pected opposition. They passed the Sem
ate, but when they came into the House
they were arrested by formidable, out
spoken, and bitter opposition. The anti
secession feeling is most general, and
better developed in the northern than
in the southern part of the State. Men
between the ages Of Is and IS, liable to
be impressed, are escaping from the con-
federacy, or fleeing to the mountains or
other hiding places.

since started from Halifax with his
team to return home to Cambridgboro
by the way of Gaut's Mills. He had
partaken too freely of liquor before
starting, and upon reaching Gauts Mills
it is supposed he drove his team under

adjoining house. Instead of SO doing
he lay down and went to sleep, freez-

| Bloom, There are various WAYS In
which the virtues of blood can be and
have been, exemplifed We read In the
good book that Without the shedding
OF blood there is no remission of sin -
and hence 1t was that the blood of bull
locks goats, and lambs was anciently
shed upon Jewish affairs. Hence il il
that whena great good Is TO be obtained
or a great calamity averted, 1t some
times becomes necessary to shed pro-
fusion of blood on the field of battle
When the stock farmer wishes TO have
better cattle, sheep, and horses, he turns
his attention to the improvement of the
blood of his animals.
From the best Information we can OBJ
tain, we are led to believe that the cause
OF Union, freedom and good government
is to be promoted in other ways than by
shedding blood like water upon the
ground. A correspondent of the Boston
Transcript, writing from the Shenandoah
valley, says that great deal of court
I'M" is going on between the members
of that regiment and the "gals" of the
country-thirty of the men having al
ready married; and that large numbers
of the soldiers will settle in the valley
after the war. Now here is an interest
I'M illustration of the virtue and efficacy
of good blood 1t will require some
time, to be sure, but no permanent and
salutary change can be effected in
a minute. There can be no doubt
that the next generation of Shenando-
ans will be free from oil faint of disu-
nion treason, and rebellion.
