The absurdity of the Northern dispatches

order to set the matter still further beyond

thousand mounted dmen, including Shelby's

FROM TEE RESERVE FORCES.
CAMP PRISON,


FLORENCE, S. c., Nov. 4, 1864.
Are you startled at the caption, read
err Well, you must know that on
Monday last, the estate Reserves were
mustered into Confederate service, and
now rank with all those under the Gov
,ernment of JEFF. Davis, Esq, or his,
representative, in this Department, Gen.
Hardee, whose tactics we have been
taught to reverence, though we have no
personal acquaintance with the man. A
Georgia Regiment here, claimed that
they yranked sour Majors, as We were
State Troops, but Major (now Lieuten-
ant GoloneD Williams, told them a diff
ferent tale, that he was commissioned
by. President Davis, and Georgia caved
in. This Re yiment, however, ,,still holds
Che sway; they manage to keep the.
stockade under their own peculiar care,
and various orders are made to prevent
traffic with the prisoners, which they
ignore themselves. This reminds me
Of an anecdote ] once heard the ''moun-
tain bear" tell in North Carolina, to wit:
an.old field schoolmaster had a goodly
lot Of scholars who were rather partial
to possum hunting. 0n,one occasion,
he told the boys that staying out at
night would injuretheir health, running
in tkewoods would ruin their clothes,
and they must quit the practice; but
theboys persisted, andold Syntax could
contain himself no longer, so he swore
they should qaFt ii, for 'sthe fact was,
there were but very few possums about
and he, aousted to catch them himself"
Notwithstanding the mortality among
the prisonerssin the stockade, there has
been an Increase among them IN the nat
urh way. "a well-spring Of pleasure"
has been opened, and "a babe in the
house pours fourth its plalntlve notes
among the motley assemblage Of Lin
colnites. The mother is no doubt a
popular character, and the little ''Vol,
unteer" should reJolce IN the name OF
'sfiorence, II a glrl; /; at any rate the
.sprison born" should have two godfath'
ers, and Gen. Hardee should see such
matters attended to IN his department
The parents are man and wife, and We
cannot but commend, even IN an enemy
thatsdeHotion, through sorrow and tray

The Secretary OF War and General
Halleck, it is said, are vigorously urg-
ing our Senators and Congressman to
strenthen our armies by every means
in their power, so that the, war shall
be brought to a close before the Fourth
of July next The Governors and
other prominent men in the Western
and Middle States apprehend that the
rebel wave will roll northward & west
ward in the Spring, as the last dospe-
rate effort Of their hungry and latter
cd forces to protract the war; and
they urge the Government to increase
our forces, so that the wave may be
met at all points androll back with an
overwhelming force. This measure is
also urged as one of economy, on the
very obvious grounds that the sooner
the Rebellion is put down the sooner
the necessary war expenses will cease.

last night, some fifteen rebel prisoners,
whom they captured near Woodstock.
They report only squadron OF rebel
cavalry us being concealed somewhere
in the mountain near Mt. jackson,
about twelve miles south of Woodstock.
There is no serious advance of the
enemy anticipated in this direction.
The Herald S Army Of Potomac spe-
cial says:
"a rebel captain of tho Sixth Vir-
ginia cavalry come into our lines, took
the oath Of allegiance and had aband'
doned the rebel service, because he
was convinced that it was useless tC
hold out longer, and that further re
sistance would only result in desolatins

"The numerous deserters from thu
rebel army encourage us in the belle
that the time is not far distant wheI
there will be total disruption of Lee
Army.
"A squadron of the Fourth Pcnnsyl
vania cavalry, just returned from
successful expedition to Aldic and Mid
dleburg, had destroyed a tanner,
which had furnished the rebels wit
leather. A rebel party Of guerrilla
was pursued, who abandoned thei

HEADoRs DEBT OF WEST Va, |
.Jnnuary 30.

This morning reconnoitering force
that had been sent out from Colonel
Campbell's command, returned after
having gone TO Romnoy. There they
divided into three columns, one going
out the Winchester road thirty miles,
the other down tho Grassy Lick road
to the vicinity of Wardensvillo, and
tho third on the old Moorfield road
None oftheso columns met with serious
opposition on their advance. The in
formation which they gained proves
to be of high Importance, and tells OF
mysterious movements, proceedings
and preparations within the rebel lines
We took Captain D, =. Tipder of Co.
A, 47th Georgia, prisoner. This rebel
officer says some five or six Georgia
and Alabama regiments have been di,
vidcd into small squads and stationed
at different points in the valleys anf
mountains, to prevent dcsertions, Ht
reports that his company encountorel
n portion of Col. Mulligap's troops
had fight, was whipped, and had t.
skodaddle. This rebel officer also re
ports that the enemy is actually press
ing all men into the service betwoel
the ages OfsiHteon and tifty-fve. From
his story it seems that some of tn
North Carolina and few Of tho Viz
ginia regiments are being looked upo
and watched with suspicion.
The latest neys from Kanawha va
ley reports all quiet and safe.

adding that they would prefer to be

they would not object if retained us

thought best to furnish them with a
large number of copies, and allow them
to return secretly, so that their visit
would not be discovered. No wonder
that Longstreet protests against the
circulation of that document among
his soldiers, prepared as thoy evident

HUNTsvILLE, Alabama, January 81,
1S64.-A correspondent just arrived
here from Chattanooga says. Before
leaving, General Palmer had returned
from reconnaissance to Ringgold and
Dalton. The enemy had undoubtedly
left, General Palmer thought, towards
Longstreet, with the purpose Of invad-
ing Kentucky. Since arriving here /
have obtained information which salts
fies me that Hardee has reinforced
Mobile. An attack was undoubtedly
to be made on Mobile.
Within five days past, persons here
have solicited permission to through
the lines to attend relatives wounded
at Mobile, Positive information may
be soon expected of an attack on that
place, and its probable fall.
