here, for criticism, and probably mistakes, which are unavoidable by all men, may have been committed; but we see nothing to impeach a sound, just, and patriotic intention on the part of the Executive. When mention is made of commissions in the "Provisional Army" of the Confederate States, the meaning is that the commissions are not permanent as if in the regular military service of the Confederacy, but are to cease at the termination of the war. The Provisional Army is raised to meet the exigency of the war, and is not a permanent establishment of the Government. Commissions in the Provisional Army of Confederate States are to be considered in contradistinction to commissions emanating from the States individually. For instance, we believe General Pillow holds a commission as Major-General from the State of Tennessee, while General Polk holds one of the same tenor from the Confederate States. We believe we have practically responded to the interrogatory of our correspondent.

In consequence of private intelligence received at Bristol of the doings of the Union men in East Tennessee, Capt. Miller picked up a party of 22 young men, accompanied by Mr. J. H. Howard as a volunteer, and started from Bribeen under fire before. These particulars, which we have from a gentleman who participated in the fight, are strictly authentic. Some additional account of the proceedings of the Union men in East Tennessee will be found under the telegraph head.

Sall. --The scarcity of this article renders it necessary to take advantage of every suitable method of procuring a supply. It will be in great demand as the season advances, and since it can be had if means of transportation are at hand, it will be well for commercial men to take the subject under consideration at once. Recent occurrences in Tennessee have temporarily stopped the carrying trade over the Southwestern line beyond the limits of Virginia. In the meantime a vast quantity of salt might be transported over the Virginia and Tennessee and Danville Railroads, and all parties be benefitted by the operation. The suggestion may have already presented itself to the railway companies; but if not, we hope it will be duly considered and adopted without unnecessary delay.

Johnston issued orders to disband the Tennessee troops now organizing under the recent call of the Governor of Tennessee. The only intelligent explanation for this step is the want of arms to place in their hands.
