The reliability Of many newspaper
correspondents was strikingly exempli-
fed by the correspondents of the Cincin-
natl papers, who pretended to be- with
Gen CANDY in his attack on Mobile.
Each Of these correspondents gave
minute particulars Of the arrival of Gen.
Wilson's command on the coast near
Mobile while the seige was progressing,
specifying the very place where his com
mand halted, when, in fact, the General
never went in the direction of Mobile Al
all, after capturing Montgomery and
Selma.

SURRENDER on GUERRILLA BASDs.-
The order of General Thomas proposing
the terms on which Lee surrendered to
Grant has had the desired effect The
notorious guerrilla leaders Col Patter-
son and Col. Norwood, with their men,
came into Decatur on Wednesday and
surrendered to General Granger. The
noted Roddy has signi6ed his willing.
ness to accept the same terms and give
up his band. The Nashville Dispatch
says Colonel Malone sent in messenger
TO General Rousseau to ascertain the
exact effect of the terms, and proposes
to surrender. Colonel Malone is ct the
head of the largest portion Of Lyons
command, which has operated near
GAINESVILLE and in Kentucky, but latter
ly and at this time in the vicinity of
Springfield, Ky The noted guerrilla
leader, Harper, who is now in the vicin-
ity of GAllatin, has received the dag of
truce with the order Of General Thomas,
aud it is almost certain that be, too, will
surrender. Truly, this is whipping guer-
riilas easy, and disposing OF the tail of
the rebellion. The idea of guerrilla
warfare succeeding the rebellion has ex-
ploded, and it is now evident that in
less than three months there will not be
an armed rebel in the country. This is
glorious news for all who desire speedy
and lasting peace.-L0tG Journal.

A Hunt FOR GUERRILLAs-Gen. Mer-
idith learning few days ago that a
large body of guerrillas were crossing
the Tennessee river near Fort Henry,
Immediately dispatched the steamer Con-
voy with two companies Of dismounted
cavalry to look after them. The two
companies were landed at different
places, one company securing the coun-
try within a mile Of the Cumberland
river, aud reported that about eighty
mounted guerrillas had crossed and some
sixty more were about crossing, when
the gunboat Moose made her appearance
and frightened them very much. Some
of the guerrillAs taking to the water and
attempting to reach the other shore by
swimming, while others skeddadled for

eight or ten of them and about thirty

SALE or GovERNMnsr PROPERTY. As
the war is evidently rapidly drawing to
a close, there win soon be q vast amount
of Government property accumulated
for the use of the navy and army, and
captured from the rebels, for sale, and
we would suggest to the authorities
having control of the matter that Evans
vile would be one of the best points that
could be selected for the disposal of such
property, for many reasons.
n As necessity SO long as there are
armies in the field it win be requisite to
maintain the Quartermaster's Depart
ment in this city. III
Evansville is conveniently located for
the concentration OF all such property
sent out of Tennessee, Georgia, and
Northern Alabama, and Mississippi. 1t
is easy of access for men from the coun-
try, both in this State and Kentucky,
who might desire 70 purchase such pro,
perty, and lastly but by no means the least
consideration; we know of no men in
the service who would be more likely, in
a case of the kind, to consult the inter-
ests of the Government than the gentle
men who control the Quartermaster
and Commissary Departments in this
city. - ~
We hopethat when these sale are de-
termined upon this city will be selected
as one of the points Of deposit and sale.

VICTIMS OF TIE SULrAEA DIsAsTER--
BODIES RIsIEG.-Many bodies, says the
Memphis Bulletin Of Saturday, are now
rising from the vicinity Of the wreck of
the Sultana, and few have drifted down
past the landing. About forty-6ve were
picked up yesterday and brought ashore.
They were inferred in the soldiers Gem
etery. None were identi6nd. We learn
| that the bodies OF two women we're pick
ed up below the fort Capt Curtis, mas
ter Of transportation, and others, have
been uniiring in their efforts to recover
bodies, and are entitled to much praise.
In this connection honorable mention
should be made Of Messrs. Thomas Pre-.
witt, Dennis Smith and c. G. Thompson
employees of Messrs. Larkin & Madden
on Cheeks Island. On the morning o.
the accident they saved over one hun
dred lives, and since then they have de
voted most of their time to the recovery
of bodies, without asking or even hoping
for any recompense.
