DIsooNroRIs OF Travel IN TIE SoUTH.-
The southern correspondent Of the London
Times, writing from Georgia, under date Of
October 2Sth, descants a, follows upon the
condition and management of the rail roads
in Dixie lie says:
As to the question whether you will start
in one hour, in six, or in twelve. it argues
great incxperience in Confederate raIl road
travelling if YOU exhibit any inquisItiveness
on the subject You viii be told there is no
4" schedule or timetable according to which
locomotion is directed, but the trains are
said to be - running wild, which means
that So soon as a train arrives at Chicka-
mauga, and it suits the convenience Of its
conductor to start again for Atlanta, he
"puts out, p" trusting to the steam whistle of
the engine and to the enormous lamp which
glares forward at the foot Of each engines
chimney to avert the collision which the
single line of rails and the careless economy
Of the trains render only too probable.
Frequent as are the accidents upon these
rail roads, the only wonder is that they are
not ten times more frequent. To begin with,
there is the single line of rails; then there
are trestle bridges over the innumerable
rivers and creeks, which are carried away
every freshet or food in the stream, and
which creak and tremble as the tram passes
in such a fashion as would, in England,
elicit one hundred letters per diem TO the
Times from agonized passengers. Then,
thirdly. there is the defective state Of tie
rails, which are constantly and in many
places worn down to thread, not thicker
than ladys little finger. Other possibili
ties of accident there are by dozens, arising
from such casualties a cows and hogs upon
the track but have said enough to justify
the prevailing sentiment that it Is safer IN 90
into action than to take long journey by
rail in the Conieieracy.
The passenger, once started .or Atlanta,
will before he arrives there, although the
distance is only lS0 miles, probably have
time for extensive self-communIon. Upon
my journey up, and upon my journey down,

better part OF two days in the train bnt
have heard of luckless passengers who PASSED
four days and nights in the cars, and who,
ii they had started for Atlanta on foot,
might reasonably have expected To get there
ON their own legs more quickly than they
were actually delivered by steam, without
the misery OF passing four nisht- in NIX

A convention of the Union associations in
Louisiana was held at New Orleans on the
18th ult., for the purpose of electing re-
presentatiyes from that state TO the conTen-
ton Of the friends Of freedom, TO be held at
Louisville on the Sth Of January. Twenty
two associations were represented, one dele
CATION consisting of colored freedmen. The
Era says the members Of the convention were
Of the highest standing, and the spirit Of the
Convention earnest apd emphatic. Prepra-
tlons for the state election are also going
forward rapidly, the loyal voters coming for
ward 10 enrol themselves. Il was believed
there would be eight or nine thousand names
registered in the city by the middle OF Janu-
airy. Referring TO the Presidents late pro-
clamation, the Era says: "a Under this pro-
claulatIon an election can be called when a
number OF qualified voters are registered
equal to one-tenth Of the vote in 1850. The
vote Of Louisiana in 1860 was about As 900;
50 that when $500 are registered we shall be
entitled 10 an election. This certainly must
inspire every free state man with hope and
joy. IL assures US victory: il promises
the speedy restoration Of our state under
new constitution, or, at any -ate, with the
old constitution stripped Of the hideous in
s.;tuti0n Of slavery"

The Confederate States armory, located at
Richmond some two and half years since,
and which has grown to be vast concern,
has been removed to Columbia, South Caro-
lima. Toe principal reasons inducing the
removal were the difficulty of transportation
and scarcity Of provisions.
Capt George Washington Alexander, COM
mandant nc Castle Thunder. has been reliev-
cd from command at that post. and is now
confined To his quarters, under arrest,
charged with malleasanee in office. II is al
legged that this Othcer extorted large sums Of
money from prisoners confined in chat insti-
tuition, by promising TO use his influence for
their benefit, and in some cases OF permitting
the prisoners 70 20 at large, upon paying
him large sums Of money. He is also
charged with trading largely in greenbacks.
He viii be tried by court martial.
General Pillow has returned to the service
for the months Of September and October,
from Alabama and Mississippi, twenty-six
thousand men in infantry and cavalry. II
the whole Of the confederacy could be placed
