They are up to every sort of trick and villainy. I was told by a military man, of tolerable high rank, of long service, and who is disposed to obey the orders of Government, yet says that he is under the ban of suspicion, because he was born in Virginia. And he says that if he goes into the fight at the South and should get defeated, he would, like Anderson, be called a traitor.

Anderson will now tender his services to the Army of the Confederate States. The Lady of the "White House," Mrs. Davis, arrived in Montgomery to-day, from Mobile, and is temporarily sojourning at the Exchange Hotel. J. R. P.
