Louisiana can be purchased at very low
prices, some of the plantations being entirely

fiscated by the Government, others so heavily
mortgaged that they have been abandoned in

SO dlsgusted with the negroes having been

grave difficulties OF a military character have
transpired in this Department near the lines
of tennessee, in the District of \. VI. Cur
tiss. 1t is known that Gen Curtiss had be-
come apprized of the existence of large
number of cattle in the vicinity belonging to
the late rebel government, aud consequently
without any other owners capable of pre-
tending to claim legitimate ownership,
Gen. Curtiss sent small force to capture the
cattle, and they were successfully repealed BIZ
the bushwhackers aud guerrillas of that sec
ton.
Col. Sumner has been dispatched to the
scene OF the outrage with an adequate force.
and it is certain Major General Curtiss will
make exceedingly short work of this business.
Within twenty-five days it is thought that
another large batch of general officers will be
ordered TO their homes to report to the Adia-

From highly intelligent gentlemen from

suffrage may prove somewhat embarrassing
to the South Carolina politicians. Lii settling
the basis of representation in that State a

the white basis, while the lower country in
terests have heretofore controlled the legisla-

OF the basis of representation will be more or
less compromising npon the question of negro
suffrage
On Friday last an officer of authority called
on jeff. Davis who announced himself as in
very good health, the only drawback being a
carbuncle on his leg, aud slight touch of
the erysipelas.
In speaking of Wertz, Davis said he never
seen or heard of him before his arrest, and
that from what he knew of Winder, having
been classmate of his at West Point, he did
not believe he would be guilty of such awful
acts of inhumanity as are laid to his charge.
Secretary Stanton will visit Saratoga before
he returns to Washinpton. fsN
