FROM TIE SONTH.

/ A Southern refugee at Memphis, who says
he left Richmond Dec. %, represents that
the Generalization Of the women is a marked
characteristic in Richmond under the prese Mt
condition of affairs. The absence Of those
who should protect and support them and
the presence of licentous men who are them
selves removed from the restraints Of good
society and family influences, has caused the
fall Of multtudes of those who would have
been amiable aud virtuous ornaments OF socie-
ty. Bragg's army is completely demoralized
and scattered throughout the country. The
rebels intend to concentrate all the troops
possible at Atlanta to wipe out Grant
The Post says gentleman who has spent
several years in Macon, Ga. recently reached
Newark, n. J. He declares the rebellion an
utter failure. Even the leaders see that sue
cess is out of the question, while the COM
mon people would hail with delight the res
toration Of Federal authority. One Of the
principal bankers of Macon told him that the
only hope now is that the Federal army will
deliver them from their troubles, for without
that Intervention they must perish. The ut
most destituton prevails everywhere.
The conscription is being enforced with
pitess energy, including even grey-haired
/
admitted by nine-tenths of the Southern peo-
pie. Three years ago the same man wrote
letters asseverating in strong terms that the
South could not be subdued. Now he de-
clares that les only hope is in the Northern
armies.
One of Morgan's men, who escaped about
three months ago from Ohio penitentiary,
worked his way down to Owen county, X en-
lucky, where he was arrested and imprisoned
by Deputy United States Marshal. Hear
ing of the fact several secessonists banded
together few nights since, broke open the
Jail and carried him off amid loud shouts

Gen. Grant has issued an order, directing
that all deserters from the enemy coming
within our lines shall be disarmed and then
be permitted to go to their homes, on taking
an oath TO support the government, to abide
by all the acts of Congress in reference to
slaves, and to support all proclamations made
during the war having reference to slavery in
any form.

THE OTHER SIDE.

The article that appeared in the Daily of

by Mr.. L T. Kinney OF Barre. We now
have Information from another source equally
