An Important Rebel Report.

NEW York, July 21.-The Herald publishes
report made to the rebel congress on the
working of the rebel Commissariat Depart.
ment. This report gives q view of the re-
sources of the confederacy at the commence
ment of the war, and of the difficulties
encountered by the rebel government in the
progress of the struggle in the matter of feed
ing its forces. It shows 1t was utterly impos. :.
sible for the rebel States to produce supplies
enough to sustain the rebel armies, and that
they never did so. 1t also shows that many,
attempts were made to feed armies by meats
that ran the blockade, and were adj crippled by
the stupidity of JEFF. Davis and his associates.
This report makes some remarkable disclosures
OF the operations of men on our side of the
lines. ..t,- $50, ...,. :
1t shows there were on our side in 1862 q
great many men ready to furnish the rebels
with all the necessary army supplies, and that
these men had sufficient influence with our
government to be able to get their boat loads
OF stores through the lines, and to avoid all
the watchfulness of the Treasury Department
aid military commanders. At Memphis, New
Orleans, and other points, they did business on
so large scale that they could contract to de-
liver at once 80 600 hogsheads Of bacon, thou
sands Of sacks of salt and flour for the army.
and coffee in abundance, and all other
necessary stores Contracts were made
between Northern men and the South
ern Government for the supply of the Southern
armies. and Gen. Lees army was fed in that
way to great extent. Early in 1868 JEFF Da-
Wis opposed the plan. It started in the belief
that Withholding cotton would compel the re-
cognition of the confederncy at an early day.
The report discloses the impotence in many
points OF the rebel government and the errors
AMI weaknesses of Davis. 1t discloses also the
fact that the rebellion was kept alive and the
war prolonged by villainies carried on from our
side Of the lines

President johnson.

Hon. W. W. BoYoE, formerly member
of Congress from South Carolina, made a
speech at Winsbury after his return from
Washington, from which we extract the
following:
might stop here, but / presume you desire
to hear something of my late visit to Washing
ton. At the instance of some of our most in
fuential citizens, went on to see the Presi-
dent of the United States. I had been well
acquainted with him as member of the Sem

the obstacles he had overcome, and the con-
trolling influence he had acquired in his State,

observed him with great interest knew that

who from the most adverse position had
risen to be, successfully, member OF the
Legislature, member of Congress, Governor,
and Senator was no ordinary man. re.
spected in him the man who had erected
his own statue, and found Mr.. johnson
to be Q man of remarkable talents,
immense energy, great good sense, .
strong win, with perfect reliance, man who
belonged to himself and not to another.
No one can have greater adherence OF that
inefiaely stupid crime, the assassination Of Mr..
Lincoln, than / have, but do not think that
thereby the Southern States have fallen into the
hand of cruel tynnt, as has been imagined BY
some. Emancipation Is conceded to be fixed

deal with our people in no ungenerous spirit.
All who accept the existing order of things,
who, In good faith, desire to be peaceful and
loyal citizens, will, - . general rule, In my
opinion, experience the clemancy of the Gov
eminent On the great question of the rixht
Of suffrage In these States, President johnson
has taken the conservative position of referring
the matter to the States themselyea For this
he has received the opposition of the extreme
wing of the Republican party. We cannot but
attend the issue Of this difference of opinion
with great interest," and think the progress of
events IL such q to indicate that these States
win give no lukewarm support to the admins

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

NEwBERN, July 21.-Col. David Heaton,
Treasury Agent, is now receiving at this point
which the defunct Rebel Government obtained
from the mines near Charlotte, N. G. There
are also large quantities of iron, lead, coal and
sulphur to be shipped North. The gold and
silver mines in this State are now being worked
by negroes, who are accommodating large for
tunes. Col Heaton Is also receiving large
quantities of Confederate cotton, which is for
warded North by every steamer.
The Raleigh Progress says the native element,
including the aristocracy, are growing more
defiant every day, and now openly threaten to
hang Union men and negroes as soon as the
troops are withdrawn.
The Progress says the troops must be re-
tanned, and every consideration of justice and
safety requires their presence in North Caro-
lima, as well as the other rebellious States.

Wounded. ., .-.-. on

2 MEMPHIS, July 21.-The Argus has an &C
count of very serious difficulty which oc-
CURED at q place called Rocky Springs, some
twelve miles southeast of Lexington, Tennes-
zee, on the evening of the 9th instant By this
unfortunate affair three men lost their lives
of them, It is feared, too much to recover from
their wounds. Tia difficulty seems to have
originated In the following manner: 40 49,
The people of Henderson were very divided
during the war. When the Union forces en-
tered Tennessee, many OF the young men of
the country Joined several regiments for the
Union Army which were being raised: Among
borhood Aof Rocky Springs Recently these
young men have been mustered out of the SER
vice and have returned to their own homes.
Those who went with the secession cause have
also returned. On the 9Th, the people of the
neighborhood determined to have o reunion
and bury the Ratchet. A picnic was got up
and the whole population turned out For q
while everything went smoothly, both parties
joining in the sawdust dance. Towards even
ing, however, a slight circumstance occurred
marring not only the occasion, but
terminating fatally to three of the number A
young man named White, formerly member
of the Sixth Tennessee cavalry Union) asked
, o young lady to join in the dance. The young
lady, who had lost two brothers in the rebel
some very unladylike and disparaging remark.
To this White took offense, and made some
very damaging remarks about the lady. Her
relatives and friends took the matter up, while
the friends of White gathered around him.
Thus the parties were divided, and bitter dis
pute arose, which ended in regular pitched
battle, in which pistols were freely used. Mr..
White was severely wounded through the
chest by pistol shot. One Vision of the re-
bel party, was shot through the head and ex-
pired almost instantly. Markham, of the Un-
len party was also killed by pistol shot
through the breast, and Waylin, one of the
young lady's friends, was killed, having been
shot four times through the abdomen, chest,
shoulders and back. Several others were ee-
verely, some of them MORALLY, wounded. The
names of the wounded, with two exceptions,
are Mr.. White, George Chaplin, VIM. Finerty,
Chas. Simmons and Thomas Harold. The
feelings of the neighborhood are very much
excited, and it is feared that other deeds of
violence may occur. Such scenes are much to
be regretted, as 1t has q tendency to keep 90.
ciety unsettled.

MARrrAL Law IN SrRHGyIELD, IA.-The
Chicago Tribune Of Saturday says the city Of
Springfield Is overrun with blacklegs, burg
lers, garroters and harlots (male and female)
who have congregated to rob the soldiers a.
they are paid off and mustered out Of their
hard earned wages. They have turned the
city into such a pandemonium that the mayor,
unable to stay the flood Of crime, hasrequested
Gen. Cook, with the military force under his
command, to undertake the government Of the
city, and to deal with the Williams in sum-
mary manner. Gen. Cook has consented TODD
