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. Two women from Carroll county, Geor gia, recently brought into Atlanta two ab sentees from duty, and. the next morning started for home with their husbands, to whom furloughs were granted in accor dance with Gen. Beauregard’s order in. this respect. In spite of the frost, the Kentucky tobac co crop will foot up something like 100,- 000 hhds. 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.” Richmond Examiner. * 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 Thomas 81,000. The late general order from Gen. Bragg'3 O 4 v headquarters, providing that every nou conmiissioncd officer and soldioy who se 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. u Oh doctor, run to our house quiok as ev er you kin !

Lieutenant Waller has for | some time been stationed at that place, and during his stay there has made a host of ! friends by the polite and gentlemanly man- j ner in which fye has discharged his duties, j The operation- of Gen. Pillow's Bureau j have returned to the servioe for the months i of September aud October, from Alabama and, Mississippi, twenty-six thousand meu iu infantry and cavalry. Gen. W. 11. Allen is elected Governor of Louisiana. * : f 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.
