Aecounts from Lee’s army represent it in . & yery demoralized condition. The North | Cerolina, Missigeippi and Tennessee troops are eid to be very much dissatisfled, and G@imostin a state of open mutiny. Troops from she Southwestern States generally share this feeling; and since the fall of Vicksburg and | Port Hudson they consider their canze hope- | fess, ang are clamorous to go home and give up the contest, as they consider it of no use to conunue the war any longer. The greatest apathy prevails among both officers and men «n Lee's army, and it is believed he will be un- willing to risk another battle with Meade, and indeed itappears itis asmuch as he can ac- complish to keep his army from falling to pieces. Theze reports are obtained through various channels, refugees and o hers who bave atrived here within a few days past, and are considered reliable. Stirring events may be expected within the’ uext two or three weeks, as the affairs of the bogus “Confederacy” are in such a critical condition thet a collision may occur at any moment and the bubble burst. Ixe’s army is row only kept together by threats and promices, and its disintegration may take place any day when once a begin- ning is made by the withdrawal of the troops oi one or more of the Sta‘es mentioned.

OPINION. «It seems that under the comprehensiveand | imperative language of the Enroling Act, Sut. lers, together with the meinbers of the Enrol- } ing Board, are necessarily subject to draft. It the latter are now in the military service it may be a ground, should they be drafted, tor relieving them trom the duties of the field: but not having been in the military service on the odof March, the law gives them no privileze of exemption beyond that which is secured to other cit-zens.”” In case of exemptions obtained by means of falce affidavits.

T. arty should then be held tor military duty as though no such certificate had been issued.

The news from East Tennessee is that the Contederate authorities, driven to desperation by their waning fortunes, are practising un- heard of cruelties upon the people to the end ef forcing them into the rebel ranks. Jeff Davis has made «requisition on the rebel (zo vernor” ; Harris for 6,000 men of the class between the “es of forty-five and fifty-five. Any demur to the conscription is seized as an excuse by the iebel soldiery to seize preperty, hang, kill and vent the mostinfernal passions with impunity. The Rebel Government has assumed the ownership of the abundant wheatcrop in East Tennessee, and is collecting and moving it as apidly a3 possible. - It is expected they will do the same with the corn crop. News of Kevel forces vary but little from previous dispatches. Governor Robinson has received information, however, of Bragg's en- try into East Tennessee, 40,000 strong.
