outside to-day, an order from Lieut.. Gen.
S. B. Buckner, highly complimentary to
our young countyman, }. A. Collins of an
operation of his on theenemy's pckets near
Morganza, East of the Atchafalaya. Lieut..
Collins was formerly member Of Gen.
(then Cap,.) Wharton's company, in the
Terry Rangers, was severely wounded in
the arm in the first battle of Murfreesborc,
from the effects of which wound lie has nev
vet recovered. He was discharged from
the service, md came home, but when his
old command ng officer was assigned to du-
ty in command of the cavalry of the Trans
Miss. Department, 1t. G., by permission,
raised company of scouts, with which he
has been operating on Lower Red River
and the Mississippi during the past Sum
mer and fall. we have heard several times
of his gallantry, an good service with his
little body Of scouts. Al one time he and
some of his men were captured and taken
to New Orleans, but not liking the climate
he effects his escape, together with some
forty other Contederates, and has since been
giving the Yankee pickets taste of his
lead and steel. Long may he be spared to
his country and his friends.

s6"The Houston Telegraph of the 9th has
private intelligence fIom Camden, that Con-
gress has extended the time for exchanging
the old issue for new till July, 1866. The
editor thinks the effect of this law will be
to equalize the values Of the two, raising
old issue and depressing new TO some extent,
and bringing their relation to each other to
that fixed by the government, of 8 'o2.
The same paper of the 18th says:
On Fridsy we telegraphed to Camden for
the authority for the statement that Con-
gress had extended the time Of exchanging
old issue for new till July, and on'Saturday
received the following reply:
"CAHDEs, Dec. l0.-The Meridian Miss.
Clarion of Nov. 10Th, says the bill has pass
ed Congress, extending the time for eIchang
ing old issue for new until July LIST, 1864.
That is all that is said about it."
