Gen. Bragg has issued the following or
ders to his troops on the Exchange Ques
tion :
That the ememy does not intend to car
ry out in good fai/h, the cartel agreed on
between this Government anu the Confeder
ate States, for the exchange of prisoners
of war, lias long been demonstrated by his
acts, and is now officially recognized.
Such a cruel proceeding, so opppsed to
the laws of humanity, and an enlightened
civilization, is a virtual acknowledgment
by the enemy of his inferiority, and it
shows a craft aud cunning worthy of the
Yankee,* in imposing upon us the mainte
nance of thousands of his prisoners, that
they may consume the - substance which
should go to the support of our gallant men
and their families.
This should be known to our o'fficcrs and
men, They should know that, if taken
prisoners, those who survive their cruel
treatment, will be forced to languish in
Northern dungeons until the close of the
war, subjected to the taunts and barbarity
of a merciless foe. Ls their liberality and
their lives must be lost, the alternative of
• Honorable Heath on the Gold of battle, no
bly fighting for the cause of freedom, will
be accepted by brave and patriotic South
ern soldiers. The General deems it his
duty'to announce these facts to the troops
of his command. The designs of the ene
my are transparent, and our officers aud
soldiers are forced to accept the policy im
posed by him.
An intelligent gentleman, says the Rich
mond Dispatch, who has recently visited the
U. States, aud has had unusual opportuni
ties of observation, depresses the convic
tion that the North, unless some unexpect
ed advantage of great importance shall be
obtained by its arms, or some great misfor
tune bo brought upon us by our own folly,
will not be able much longer to conduct
the war upon its present dimensions, lie
is of opinion that the North is much near
er exhaustion than the South. Their blus
ter and bravado will increase in proportion
as their strength diminshes, but if we are
true to ourselves, patient, persistent and
harmonious, the worst of our danger, witli
the blessing of Heaven,-will soon be over.
Such at least is the opinion of one whose
name, if we could give it, would carry with
it no ordinary weight.
A gentleman from a neighboring city
gives the following as the latest shrewd
dodge practiced by some of the “ fancy ”
in Richmond : With great caution and se
cresy he was admitted to an apparently tle
' serted' house, aifl after climbing various
flights of stairs, ushered into a room filled
with persons betting against the “ tiger.”
The dealer sat behind a table with a wire
mask over his face that completely prevent
ed recognition by his most intimate friends.
At his back was a flight of steps which
would enable him to make his escape by
the back way should the police force an
entrance front. A fine supper was spread,
and liquors were in abundance
By some mismanagement in the Commis
sary Department, says the Rebel , our army
in front of Chattanooga were without any
rations of meat the greater part of last week, •
and there was much complaint. Within
the past few days, however, we have seen
immense cattle trains passing up the road,
and presume that the difficulty is obviated.

Getting an Official’s Attention.
Anybody who has had busiucss with the
Departmeuts, knows how hard it is to gain
the attentiou and ear of some of the high
officials who sit enthroued there.
Judge It is an impatient man,
and when he gets out of putienco he gets
out of temper too. The other day, having
business with one of these unapproachable
officials, he made his w T ay into the u holy
of holies,” and saw the object of his search,
Dr. M , seated at his desk, totally
oblivious and overhauling aud reading pa
per after paper that lay before him.
ll-A — “ Good morning, Dr.
No response, and the offi
cial’s eve never wandered from the paper.
Judge R ! (still louder) —“Good
morning, sir.” Still no movement, and
the ,Judge’s wrath rising.
Judge R (steutoriau) “ Good
morning, sir, 1 say.”
It was of no use, the Doctor’s eyes and
thoughts were embedded in a tangle of statis
tics. It was too much for Judge R ,
who, elevating his voice, foot and cane at
the same moment, and letting all down in
chorus, exclaimed, “ Dr. M —-, go to
hell, sir,” and walked out of the room.
The explosion lifted the Doctor from his
scat like a shell dropped beneath it.
“ Who was that ? ” he enquired. “ That
was Judge It- said the c-lerk.
“ Call him back; ” and the clerk bolted af
ter him, but returned with the Judge's re
ply : “ Tell Dr. M to go to the place
I told him; he heard me that time.”

* To Mary.
I am thinking of the time, Mary, when
sitting by thy side, and shelling beans, I
gazetf on thee, and felt a wonderous pride.
In silence leaned we o’er the pan, and neith
er spoke a word, but the rattling of the
beaus, Mary, was all the sound we heard.
Thy auburn curls hung down, Mary, and
kissed thy lilly check; thy azure eyes, half
filled with tears, bespoke u spirit meek.
To be so charmed as T was then, had nev
er before occurred, when the rattling of the
beans, Mary, was all the sound we heard.
1 thought it; was not wrong, Mary, so loan
ing, o’er the dish, as you snatched up a
handful o' beans I snatched a neetared kiss.
And suddenly there came a shower, as 1
neither saw nor stirred ; but the rattling
of the beaus, Mary, was all the sound 1
heard.
It is understood that the abolition army
of the Cumberland, as re-organized, umv
consists of six divisions,, under Rousseau,
Sheridan, Davis, Palmer, Baird aud Wood.
Puttiug these divisions down at the low
est estimate of six thousand each, would
estimate 30,000 men. To these must be
added the reinforcements of Hooker s and
Howard’s corps from the Potomac, aud
Sherman’s corps from Grant’s Mississippi
army, estimated at 15,000 each, would
make the total abolition force uow uuuer

cures a recruit and causes him.to he mus
tered into the service, shall be entitled to
a furlough of not less; than forty days, is
working admirably. Within three hours
after the reception of the order, upwards
of fifty men in one regiment alone-had fas
tened their clutches upon delinquents at
home, and had written to their relations
to adopt measures for their immediate
transfer to the army.

The Choctaw Indians.
A gentleman from Northern Texas, says
the Mobile Register, has just left with us
the annexed resolutions recently adopted
by the Choctaw Council. We publish it
with much pleasure, as no people have
shown more devotion to the Southern cause
than the Choctaws.
It seems, from his statement, that ru
mors were afloat to the effect that some few
of that people were talking about the pro
priety of the Nation assuming the position
of neutrality during the present war. The
commissioner of Indian affairs, Col. S. 8.
Bcott, hearing the report, proceeded at
once to Armstrong Academy, tho eapitol
of the country, where the Council was at
the time in session, and .made them a
speech. If auy dissatisfaction really ex
isted' ,in the Nation, it was entirely rc
moved'by his statements to them. In re
gard to the matter of neutrality, the reso
lution in question, which had been passed
previous to the arrival of the commission-.
or, shows that even allusions to such a sub
jeot’by one of the Nation are denounced by
the Council as traitorous :
Be it Resolved by the General Council
of the Choctaw Ration assembled, That
any person speaking sentiments of a char
acter tending in any wise to destroy tho
confidence of the Choctaw people in the
ability of the Confederate States to sustain
themselves in the present struggle, and ad
visiug the people of this Nation to take
any steps tending in any manner so induce
the people to occupy a position of neutrali
ty, or withdraw their united support from
the Confederate States, shall be deemed
and considered an enemy to this natiou of
people and as a traitor to his common coun
try and interest, and deserving the death
of a traitor, Ac.

The Mis,iissippian says : Our latest ad
vices-from Arkansas indicate that General
Holmes is about to resume command of
the army in that State. The intelligence
throws.a damper upon oar hopes for the
success of our troops in the trans-Missis
sippi Department. When Holmes took;
sick, and was for a time out of the way, we
fondly hoped that be would retire from
the service altogether. His connection
with it in the past lias had the effect, if
we may believe all the concurrent tesiimo
| ny which reaches us from that «j*i«rter,'to
I demoralize, dishearten, and defeat the army
j under his command. Wv sincerely trust
that there is some mistake, and that
Holmes will not resume command. Gen
{Vice is the man whom the army and peo
ple want. He can lead the Western sol
! diers to victory, while only defeat and de
moralization will follow the leadership, of
Holmes.

Eubics arc very quick to perceive the
high value put upou their silence, and u.se
their cry as an instrument of offense and
defense—crying to depreciate some things
or to obtain a concession of others, oftenei
than from any sense oi'pain. Hut thesoon
cr they are given to understand that to raise
their Kbeuczer is not always a sure way to
gain their object, the better for all parties
concerned. This is best done, not by
chastising them--for this is to. excite a
souse of grievance and turn the cry from
a .sentiineutal or politic cry into one of pain
—but by averted looks and studiously resist
ing the inclination to purchase their Bi r
j lcuce by gratifying their whims.
