Times : —Extreme dulness still reigns in j this department, and but for incessant drilling 1 in camps—army brigade and corps exercises | and manoeuvers—we should conclude that ; our enemy has given up all hope of prosecu- ■ ting the war, by an advance upon our posi- | tion, near Dalton. An occasional skirmish ■ between our cavalry and their s, announced j generally byJhe booming of artillery, admon- ( ish us that the foe still threatens our front ; j that other dangers must be hazarded, and new fatigues endured, ere liberty and the peaceful pursuits of our former lives can be resumed. In this connection let me ,say this army has never, since our connection with it, attained such perfection in drill and discip line as now. General Johnston has certainly displayed qualities as a commander and exe cutive - officer but seldom found combined. Under such direction, from the private soldier to the chiefs of divisions and corps, unbound ed confidence in our present and future suc cess prevails. With the favor of God, we will redeem the losses of last year. In common with everybody else, we think Grant will essay to drive Lee from the Rapidan by mere weight of numbers—his usual tactic, and we may as confidently look for an immense massing of troops by him at that point, as for the sun to rise to-morrow. He has won doubtful hon ors in no other way. We shall soon see, I trust, his Western laurels wither iu the green leaf; nor shall we be idle spectators in this grand struggle liberty and equality. Tennessee, now groaning under tyranny and worse than death, must be redeemed; Ken tucky, in fetters, must be made free to cast her lot whither she will, and no one who has mingled with her citizens can doubt on which side she will go when permitted to speak sin cerely. And although we may not mingle our shouts of defiance to the foe with our brothers in Virginia, we may be permitted to raise proud monuments of our love of the rights of man by restoring freedom to the people who dwell in the lovely valleys and mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky. Such a result is attainable during this campaign. With the West disaffected, and Kentucky in a threat ening attitude, any army would do well to look to its rear defenses. With Forrest in the West, and Morgan 'in North-east Kentucky, and a powerful and determined foe in front, Chattanooga will not bo altogether a pleasant place to summer in. For an advance move ment we are, to a man, prepared. Such an order would deciease our very small sick next to nothing. Our camps have been unusually graced within the last tffn days. A large number of ladies have been here, and the field and staff have had a gloriou/$ time with our fair visitors. Nor has the rank land file been debarred the pleasure of an holies talk with“ God's last ; best gift to man.” Asa compliment to them Hardee’s corps engaged in a mimic battle. Although the usual amount of blood, dead and dying did not mark the engagement, it was a fair representation of war, stripped of its dangers. This week has added another visitor— female also—but playing a- different role. Miss Mary E. Walker, Major and Surgeon of the 52d Ohio, called upon our pickets a few days since with a handful of letters for friends in Dixie. The gallant fellow of course took the letters and tlfon took Major Mary. lam indebted to a lady'friend, now here, for a des cription of her personnel , and for the benefit of your inquisitive friends of all genders, an nounce that she is quite young, beautiful, fluent and flippant, She expresses herself as much pleased with her first visit South and very much gratified to find such clever people ; her captors. She wears a hunting shirt of j fine blue cloth, embroidered on the bosom : pants of same material, and the neatest boot in yankeedom: pants inserted in the boot, linen cuffs and collar and a blue cap make up her gear; further this deponent sayeth not. We have been almost without news from ! the world South of us for a few days. The, action of the Atlanta typos has placed a muz zle on the-press of that place. So be it. We can now get our of men and things from some point in Georgia not Tennesseeizcd by the Press. If we did not know exactly the | status of Tennessee regiments in this array one would be made believe every Tennesseean in j the State was here struggling manfully for his home. Such people as Georgians, if any there j be in Confederate service, are skirmishing with alligators and kindred things in Florida. Although excelled! papers in the main, they remind me of the smallest pig in the litter: 1 they are eternally squealing here’s me, for fear they may be forgotten. Gov. Brown should have an jeye upon them. We have been surprised that he has not ere this writ a letter, or convened an extra session to inves tigate this matter and know whether he has a State or not. • Our regiment in common with others has been filled up by the action on the conscript law and now numbers 050 for duty. ORDERLY. “*■ ♦ ♦ Scary. —The Lincoln Government is afraid to follow up the action of the House of Representa tives on the Mexican "question. A late Washing- 1 to dispatch says : “The Senate Committee on For eign affairs to-day had under consideration the House joint resolution in regard to the Mexican question. The committee, in accordance with the wishes of the Administration, determined to defer action for the present upon this and all other sim ilar proposiiions relating to legislation on the ques tion of our foreign relations. This kills the mat- $3.50 Per Month. Molungeonism. —Europe lifts up its hands in holy horror. The Saturday Review is in convulsions, and the New YorK correspondent of the London Herald hag an attack of opis thotonos. Greely is scared. Raymond is pen itent, and the saintly Benuett is outraged in | his immaculate sensibilities. Even the South- j ern press is excited. And all for why ? Be- j cause of the new Yankee social gospel of Mis cegenation, or, as Governor Wise would say, Molungeonism. It is a most unnecessary uproar. What is j Molungeonism ? Simply this—a mixing of the Yankee and African races, with a view to ! the improvement of the former. There is noth ing terrible in that; on the contrary, quite the reverse. It is the noblest and soundest idea which ever entered the crazy Y'ankee mind—an eminently laudable ambition, which ought.by all means and by all people, espec ially the people of the South, to be encour aged. We see nothing -‘beastly 1 ' or “barba rous" about it. Here is a race, by their own confession, lean, dry, juiceless, marrowless—fast decay ing physically. By the unanimous verdict of the enlightened world, they arc morally rot ten. Such a race must eoon perish from off the face of the earth, unless something be done, and that quickly, to regenerate them.— They have tried the importation of Irish and Dutch, but the Irish and Dutch refuse to amal gamate with them. In this extremity, Im pelled by a profound instinct, they turn to the nigger—the coal black nigger; with his thick, rich blood ; his strong) wiry hair; his powerful lips ; his able heels and beautiful shins; his herculean odor and impenetrable skull. To him they cry aloud for help.— “Come save us from bodily decay ; infuse new life into our shrunken veins, and re-create us with your potent vitality.’’ It is an agonizing cry, enough to melt a heart of stone. But the nigger’s heart is not stone, it is soft as wax or putty ; and he will not turn a deaf ear to the entreaties of the dying race. He will fly to their relief, will freely miscegenate and finally molungeonize the effete Yankee. It will be a happy day when the trans-mogrification will be completed.— The world will be full of molungeons, and will never more lack mulatto barbers and chamber maids. A plentiful supply of these will add greatly to the comfort of the human family. Let no one suppose we are in jest. Far, very far from it. We know the negro to be physioally superior to the Y T ankee, and if we didnot know it, the Yankee himself would dissi pate all doubts. Iu morals, he is infinitely supe rior. The advantage of the concubinage would be altogether on the side of the Yankee.— We see but one objection, and that, we con fess, staggers us—for it is serious. It is a law of hybvidity that the inferior dominates the superior race, and if the coming nation ofmo lungeons should possess all the bad qualities of the Yankee in addition to those of the ne gro, the calamity would be terrible. The ex periment should be tried at all events. If it terminated in the elevation of the l r ankee, the world would gain largely in anew class of menials. But if the molungeons provedto be negroes degraded to the level of Yankees, nothing wonld be left but for mankind to turn upon them and exterminate them. [Richmond Wing. MB > <t» Tun Yankee Army.— Notwithstanding theblus ter of the Yankee about the extensive preparations for the capture of Richmond, there can be no doubt, says the Richmond Dispatch, that the army under Grant, on the Rappahannock, is much weaker numerically than that which was overwhelmed under Hooker a year ago at Chan cellorsville. An officer who came down on the Central train last night informs us that our scouts report that the statement of heavy reinforcements to Grant are greatly exaggerated, and that the enemy’s army, with all the reinforcements re ceived up to this time, does not exceed 60,000. It is stated, however, that Grant is making prepara tions for an advance. For the edification of those who do not properly examine the Bible, or ponder well its contents, a soldier makes the following quotations : “Blessed is ho that considereth the p.oor ; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. “The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he shall he blessed upon the earth, and will oot deliver him unto the will of his enemies. “The Lord will strengthen him Upon the bed of languishing; wilt make all his bed in sickness.” —xni Psalm : 1,2, 3 verses. “Defend the poor and fatherless ; do justice to the afflicted and needy.”—lxxxii Psalm, 3d verse. “A good man showeth favor.”— cxii Psalm, sth verse. “Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in thine hand to do it. “Say »ot unto thy neighbor: Go and come again, and to-morrow I will give, when thou hast it by thee.”—Proverbs in: 27th, 28th verses. “The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” Proverbs n, 18th verse. ' “The liberal soul shall be made fat; and he that waterest shall be watered also himself.”— Proverbs xi: 25th verse. “He that hath pity upon the poor, lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”—Proverbs xix : 17th verse. “The Cry is Still They Come !” Owing to a derangement of the wires, the good news from North Carolina failed to reach us until the Charleston papers of yesterday came to hand. It has not spoiled however, by the delay. The capture of a town with 2,500 prisoners, 80 pieces of artillery, 100,000 lbs. of meat 1,000 barrels of flour, a full garrison out fit, winding up with the capture of a steamer, destruction of two gunboats and disabling the third, is no mean day’s work for any army. With our corporal’s guard in North Carolina, it may be reck oned among the brilliant-achievements of the war. Thus thick and heavy fall in rapid succession upon our invading foe. We envy not the feelings with which he must enter upon the great work of 1804 with such crushing auversiry staring him in the face at every step. The avenging angel seems to have baied his arm in the person of the Confederate army to punish the vile usurpers for their crimes and wicked intentions. Let us continue to merit the divine favor and we shali soon take our place among the nations of the earth, a free and independent people. [CAron, & Sent. According to the Cincinnati Enquirer there is an immense feeling in favor of ; placing Mr. Yallandingham as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, and if he consents, it will doubtless be done. The Enquirer further declares . that, if the martyr is chosen a delegate, the Democracy of Ohio will see that he i attends the Chicago convention. L 2! 3&A. PE 10. Kpporfs of the Pff*s Association.

April 23. i artv iust through tho Yankee lines reports that ail the troops had left Ilnntsi ille and Knoxv die leaving but a small Gar rison. Two divisions and a train of four hundred wa,T ons had arrived at Cleveland from Knoxville. * The force at Cleveland under Howard was twen ty-five thousand. The enemy were throwing up strong works at Athens, Cleveland and Charleston. Ten thousand Yankees are at Chattanooga. Two-thirds of the army refuse to re-cnlist, and the timo of one-third of it expires in Mar. The enemy are concentrating troops from all other points to Virginia and Tennessee, leaving only small garrisons, and say they will bo ready to make an advance on Atlanta within the next twenty days. 700 Wisconsin cavalry made a raid yesterday on Boiling Springs, fourteen miles northeast of Dal ton, capturing fourteen of our men and two officers. All serene. A gentleman, says the Meridian Clari. on ,21st, who reached Brookhaven yester day lroni the trans—Mississippi, telegraphs a friend at this place that Bank’s defeat terminated in a disastrous route, only equaled by the famous Bull Run route of July 01. The fight began on the 11 tk and ended on the 14th. - lorrest’s Plunder. —One of Forrest's men, says the Mobile Advertiser, 22d, called upon a tailor in our city yesterdny, to have a suit of clothes made of materials from Paducah. He represents the spoils of the expedition as immense, quite beyond the means to estimate. At the different points successfully attacked, vast stores were found, and horses and mules in large numbers. This being the case, eve ry vehicle, of whatever description, was har nessed and loaded, and only such of tho [plun der destroyed as it was impossible to bring away. Ofjeaus alone, at Paducah, they took as much as to load completely a train of army wagons “from here to the railroad depot” (we are doubtful from what point the ‘here' should be measured, but say somewhere about Dau phin street.) There must, he says, have been enough to clothe all of Gen. Johnston’s army. The Yankee story of 3,000 horses and 1,900 wag ons brought oft, may be less of an exaggera tion than we think. Federal Cavalry. —We find in the Nashviiio Times cf the lfith iust., says tho Memphis Appeal, a lengthy article under the head of “Cavalry Force of the United States—lnteresting Facts[»nd Sta tistics of what it has been and is now.” Sixteen years ago this branch of the service was • composed of three regiments only, shortly af ter the Mexican war it was increased to six. This is now the number in the regular army. In the volunteer service, however, tho figures are astoun ding* a ud we presume exist oifly on paper. We suspect, if the statements are true as given in the article referred to, that Lincoln has been allowing the creation of organizations on paper, for the pur pose of creating fat places for favorites, for that they have anything like the number stated in the field is not to be believed for a moment. The figures given are as follows: six regular regiments, 7,638 officers and men ; 590 volunteer regiments of about 600,000 officers and men. The annual pay of the force is put down at $171,052,- 250 ; number of horses, 717,584, and total estimate of expense of cost and outfit and one year's pay, $341,122,416. j Th c figures are, it is said, taken from the docu ments in the cavalry bureau of the War Depart ment. No one will believe for a moment there is any such force in the field, and it is evident that a wholesale system of robbery of the treasury is go ing on. Corruption is the order of the day at the Federal capital, and one of the means used* to de plete the treasury is the cavalry arm of the Fede ral army. Tax in kind —Fraudulent Re turns.— The Confederate Tax Collec j tors in some districts of the country i have found it necessary to call the attention of Assessors t 5 frauds com mitted bj’ persons making returns of their produce. This is much to be regretted, as a faithful return of this tax is absolutely necessary to the coun try, and for the additionl reason that the agricultural intrest has been great ly favored by Congress on acount of this tax. Assessors in districts where there is reason to believe frauds have been committed in returns of produce would do well to institute a more searching inquiry, and wherever mistakes have been discovered, make anew or addi tional assessment; and wherever there is a taint of fiaud, impose the penalties prescribed by the law.
