The Latest News!
This paper will pay liberally for
news of any character furnished it,
whenever used. In writing, be brief
and to the point, and forward by the
quickest means possible.
The lack of exchanges and news
of any importance, will account for
any lack of interest in our paper, this
number.
The steamer B. L. Hodge left this
place on Tuesday morning. Col.
Sprague and Major Bundy, bearers
ofd.spa ches to Gen. Smith, from the
F'ederal authorities left on her.
We are requested by Maj. Rose,
to say that all letters which were in
his.charge, to deliver to persons in
the Cis Department, have been turn
ed over to the Post Master at this
place.
Head Quarters of this Department
is to be moved to Houston, Texas.
By the time our next paper goes
to press, we will, doubtless be fully
advised as to the true position of af
airs. We feel confident in saying
'hat from all that has come to our
knowledge, this department will be
surrendered to the federal authorities,
if terms are offered, that can be satis
factorily received by our authorities.
Should this be done, the bloody war
which has been waged for the past
four years, can be considered at an
end. Many are opposed to surrender,
yet, candidly speaking, we cannot
see what is to be gained by pro-ecut.
iug it any longer under existing cir
cumstances. If tee'ms can be had
guaranteeing to all their former
rights, and permitting the gallant
soldier boys to return in stfe:y to their
former homes, it will prove it: the
end the best for all parties. Every
body is anxious for peace, with the
blessings supposed to accompany it,
and we hope th it the federal govern
went in its wisdom, will bear this in
mind. A mrr.re treaty of peace with
out any guarantees to p.rsons and
property of Eaf-ty, a:nd protection,
will only result in another struggle
for liberty, far more desperate and
bloody, than that about to close.
Experience, of course, will teach all
the consequentces of laying dJwn
their arms and submitting to th.
pi-:uture of' the U. . gove.rn:nent. and
u's hop,: th:tt all will be agreeably
disappinuted. Tl'imt will tell.

'roin Middle ''tsns=i"es'-e, lat- winter,
relates to usone tiikin_ incidefnt. to.
which we have never se.n any alla
siun in print, but which is worthiv of
note., It il well known that aftir :,
disastrous h:attlo bl.for,. N\;s:! ill., our
f;jrces fell back t', thl: rivr a - spe' dy
as possible, antimd h:in the gr."atest ct
futioll. TI hu retreat weat protected
by only a small cav'ra:ry fore,, and thlt
:nemlny purlsued as fast a. thle b,a,! Ctin
dit ion of the roads vwou'bl permit an
organized force to advance. On
reaching the river our scattered forces
tfound no mreatns of cro"scing, as the
pontoons had been taken up, and by
sonime accident the cabl'es were lost.
The commander was also unable to
respond to a request fi.m Gen. lor
rest, to furnish an organizd infantry
force to assist in retarding the ad
vance of the enemy. Butit tie mo
ment when despair had filled every
breast, some pontoon flats were dir
covered floating down thel river, and
oil beingsecured they weret found lo
contain sufficient cable to supply the
dificiency. A brtidge was soon laid
down, aind the scattered colutinis of
the army of Teunessee at once cross
,.d safely. It was afterwards a.-cer
tained that an independent move
tnent made by one of otur generals on
the river above, succeeded in destroy
inga bridge of the enemy, and the
boats secured so opportunely had
floated down from that point. It is
comforting to imagine all thlis w:s
providential, and really it looks as it
was so. We note the fact that hi-tory
may recordt another ,f tile narrow ,,-=

According to previous announce
ment, Gov. Allen addressed the citi
zens and soldiers of this Department
at 11 A. at., yesterday, in rtgard to
the present condition of the country
and the result of the late coinference
between the Governors of the States
ot the I'rans-Missisaippi and Gene.
ral Smith.
The substance of the Governor's,
comeu nication was briefly this :
''Two commissioners (Maj. Bundy and
Col. Sprague) had been sent by Gen.
Pope from St. Louis, under orders
from Gen. Gr. nt, cn a peace mission
to Gen. E Kirby Smith. The lat
ter, in view of the surrender of all
our armies on thie east of the Mis
sissippi, had wiseiv decided to cou
sult the Governors before taking aIny
action in the I-remises. The terms
proposed by the Federal agtents were
deetied insulting and inadrnis,ible,
by the Governors, who prop '~se ill
lien of them, 1st. That our armies
be perinitted to disband awl r'eturnl'
peaceably to their homes. Id. That
all the!ir '.ights of property antld as
citizens remain tndisturbld. 3.1. '1h:t
no pron'eutions lie institutedl by tih,
i Federal authorities against atl cit -
zen or soldier for aiding or partici
