The Richmond Whig's East Tennes-
seq correspondent says many rebel SOL
dlsrs are falling into the hands Of the en- !.
emy's scouts in Nsrth Carolina
Some home guards we're recently cap
tured near Tayiorsville. No resistance
was made.
The rebel reserve forces along the
mounsains. the correspondent says, do
no not seem to amount 10 much, as they
are continually gobbled up. Much dis
satisfaction exists among the grain grow.
ing slave holders ct the order conserip,ing
so many of their negroes for the service
and it seems cruel to demand the few
slaves left out OF the vast number they
held two years since Since this demand
was made at least three-quarters of the
negroes have gone over 10 the enemy
Farmers are now without means of cult
vating their farms. The enforcement OF
the couscription act 10 East Tennessee
placed $4,000 fighting men in the ranks
of the federal army, who would otherwise
have been at home good citizens Prob
ably 1000 men we're dragged into The
Confederate service who have generally
proved > nuisance to the Government
Tie negroes daily running away will come
back in q short time armed and In the
ememy's ranks. This il the policy Of our
weak and silly Congress. To have armed
the negroes should have been the policy
OF the government two years ago.

washington, rep. ~.
Information from the army Of the Po.
tomac As late as yesterday morning, re.
ports all quiet. Deserters are constantly
coming in, and are more nsmerouss than
for lonn time. They have averaged
over seventy day for the past week,
among them several officers The utmost
despondency prevails through their ranks
since the late fight, and they seem deter
mined to keep the field no longer, as they
claim they can never gain their indepen-
dence, and see no reason why they should
remain and be aIl killed.
They also say that deserting is so gen.
eral to the rear that Lee has issued an
order to arrest every man found half .
mile away from his camp or post. One
man said his company vas thirty strong
q week ago, but that fifteen had disap.
peared since-ten to the United States
and FIVE to their homes. Many of the
deserters bring in their arms with them.
A flag Of truce appeared in front Of the
I'd corps, on Saturday, asking. for the
bodies Of some rebel officers killed at the
ate battle of Hatcher's run. Their re-
quest was was finally granted, and their
bodies conveyed 10 the rebel lines.

Foreign mails have the following:
The World says there was meeting
Of the priory council on the fourth 10 Paris
and We are informed that affairs OF Amar-
lea and the connection they may have
with the Mexican Empire formed The
principal objec. of the meeting France
is not without some measures as to the
attitude the United States may assume to-
wards the new empire-when the conclu
sion of the war has placed at the disposal
of the republic large and tried army
with numerous aud skilful officers and a
four years struggle has changed a state
hitherto exclusively confined % CONNER
ciai and maratime pursuits into.a militia.
RI state. .dispcsing OF immense fJfees
The recent resolution Of ths Washing
ton Senate must have assisted in increas-
ing this measure. Nevertheless accord
ing to our correspondent the discussion in
which the priory council was engaged end
ed in this resolution that for the moment
IT would te wrong TO give way to exsg-
gerated fears and that in the fact OF the
pacific and conciliatory assurances which
American diplomacy continues to give the
best course to adopt is to abstain from all
movements, without however INDUCING
in false security.

We have nothing later this a. m. re.
grading Gen Sherman's successes.
The Richmond Examiner of the l7th
has some particulars of the reported fight
b.tween Fitzpatrick and Wheeler's caval-
ry on the lith instant, at Aiken, on the
railroad leading from BranchvilIe to Au-
gusta, and about eighteen miles from tn Q
latter place.
The Examiner reiterates previous rebcl
statements that Fitzpatrick was driven
back distance OF about FIVE miles, and
gives as reason for not continuing the
pursuit the exhaustion Of ammunition. |,
is claimed that number of Union soldiers
we're captured 10 the affair.
The Wing says:
There was nothing at the War Depart
ment to verify the reported defeat OF Kill
patrick.
The rebels estimate the entire number
Of Shernan's forces operating 10 the in
terror of South Carolina at 10000.
The Richmond Wing of the 18th says
All We can learn, on enquiry at the
War Department was, that Sherman was
somewhere, bat it was not known where.
The Columbia Guardian Of the l2tli
announces the burning and pillaging Of
AlIendsle.
The Wilmington Carolinian says:
A considerable Yankee force landed in
the vicinity of Still river, it is supposed
to break the Manchester railroad.
!. The Richmond Examiner Gays:
The force landed at Newbern is greatly
exaggerated, cnly few Yankees having
landed there.
The Mobile Register says:
The Southern people are not whipped,
but cowed their souls and not their
hands are disarmed their strength is no.
sapped but our courage is oozing out at
our fingers ends.
The Columbia, s. c., South Caroinian
says:
The appointment of Gen. Hampton to
the commands of Generals Butler and
Young is an earnest of success. He is
ONCE more at the head OF the men he has
SO often led to victory on Virginia fields,
the men on whom both the country and
1
himself can 1pend, and We may therefore
look for . repetition of the gallantry
