A Hovel and Perhaps Start ling Enterprise. It is reported that a corps of Southern men, picked from the most gallant of the Southern ar my, fortified by their war and and anti-war reputations, have been organized for the purpose of making a true exposition of the conduct of the officers of the Southern army for each quarter of the absentee system, with expo sures of favoritism of a verv de grading nature to certain Gener als ; of the number and some of the names of the officers who held prominent bumb-proof positions, Doth in the field and at other places; of the strength of different regi ments, not much hurt by war, but wofully hurt by absenteeism from the first year to the last month of the war; of the present strength of the braggarts of certain South ern localities, in some instances numbering five hundred to a regi ment, which in the war never av eraged three hundred, and at the close not one hundred, and some times not fiftjr, when comparative ly few were either killed or wound ed, owing to absenteeism. The principal part of the volume will be devoted to an exposition of the frauds in the Quartermasters’ and Commissary Departments, throughout the army, as far as can be ascertained, with the names of defaulting and otherwise cheating officials, without special reference to already known records, the evi dence in all cases not established by Confederate courts martial be ing given in full, in the form of statements of detectives, Becret police, and other officers employed by the government, but whose re ports have never been even inti mated to the parties interested. In this enterprise several gener als have enlisted, feeling the ne cessity of showing up a great deal oi the pretensions of vanity now prevailing among young men, sup posed to have been “gallant con federates,” and who impose upon even their most intimate acquain tances, their fathers, mothers, and friends with a great many stories of their army loyalty and gallant ry, and who arc believed to be shi ning lights of Southern chivalry. The gotters-up of this book are thorough rebels, but they are go i*g into the business in a most un- | merciful manner, and all flashy of ficers, who bragged more than fought, who won popularity by di plomacy, and laurels by accident, and especially those who won for* tunes by stealing, to say nothing Os the upstarts who neitlmr re* cenred nor exposed themselves to wounds, but who still claim the honor of having been in the South ern army, “in the thickest of the war,” must lookout for a scorch* ing. This will be the first really reliable ‘‘history of the war," per haps, from aSouthern standpoint. —Northern Paper. WASHVILLE COLUMN. TOBACCO AND NTJFFS. J St Zi.
