Paymaster Reed, of gunboat Granite
City, was lately paroled from camp Greece
in Texas, and publishes an account of the
inhuman treatment of prisoners whobave
been confined in Texas for several months.
The barbarities of the rebels at Anderson =
vile and Salisbury are repeated at Camp
Greece. The food is insufficient and of a
very bad quality. The prisoners are sub
jeeted to constant insults and indignities.
In September and October mortality
was one per cent daily. Out of Ill naval
prisoners 70 have died.
sHERAIAN's MOVEMENTS.
The Worlds Port Royal special says:
The position already gained by Sher-
mans army opens the advance to a great
er portion of the rebel territory north
ward.
The ultimate points aimed at will dissp-
point the speculstions both North and
South. Those who conjecture that Sher-
man intends merely to take Savannah and
the leading cities and return, are greatly
mistaken.
Shermsn's troops have been so appro-
pristed that the enemy must give battle
or retreat into the extreme South, through
that portion of Georgia where our forces
have marched.
The Herrala's Washington special says
1t is stated thatthe number ofrebel prison
ers desiring to take the oath of allegiance
has greatly increased for the past few
weeks. During January over 1000 took
the oath at Point Lookout and were re-
leased.
The Richmond Whig says the deficiency
of supplies is owing to the lack of trans
portstion, and urges the soldiers to bear
it patiently.
THE FRENCH CHEER THE REBEL FLAG.
The same paper states, on the authority
of the San Antonio Sentinel, that the
French, on arriving at Mstamorss, COM
plimented the Confederate flag with hearty
cheers and passed by the Yankee flag in
contempt. The Confederate flag is said
to be waving over taverns, stores, saloons,
&C., in Matamoras.
sPECULATIoNs OF REBEL PAPERS.
The Sentinel calls Branchville the key tt
Charleston and the gateway of all supplies
from the Gulf States. 1t thinks Grants
plan of the campaign is to keep the army
of Northern Virginia chained to theil
breastworks, and cut the DanVille road i
possible. At the same time Sherman vii
operate sgainst Charleston and then mov'
northwsrd.
REBEL CONGRESS.
In the rebel Senate on the I'd, Mr.
Brown, of Mississippi, presented a join
resolution of thanks to MIR. John Laneas
ter, of fLancsstershire, England, for friend
ly conduct to the. officers and crew of tn
Alabama, in rescuing Captain Raphae
Semmss and others from drowning, on tn
occasion of the contest between the Alabs
ma and Kearsarge. The resolution wa
passed.
GOING INTO WINTER QUARTERS.

of Tennessee will probably winter at Tu
pelo and Satello. Itneeds rest and re-ol
ganization very much. 1t has marche
and counter-marched, fought and bee
shattered from Rocky Race to Atlant
thence back to Nashville, and now droI
to a spot where it quartered during th
winter of 1862.
WHEAT CROP.
Thy Mobile Register says: The whei
crop of Alabama and that part of Missi
sippi not occupied by the enemy is vel
large. The yield is double this year
what it was last year.
