W. S. Downer (search for this): article 1
Imported Garden seeds. We learn that the Ordnance Bureau, with the approval of the Secretary of War, has imported from Bermuda, a large quantity of valuable garden seeds, of the varieties most suitable for cultivation in the Confederacy. Several supplies of these seeds have already been received and sold, (only to persons desiring to plant them) at Government prices, by agents selected by Major W. S. Downer. This enterprise, and its successful execution, reflect much credit upon the Ordnance Bureau, which, whatever may be said as to other departments, has been so well conducted as to escape even censure.

s made an offer through Commissioner Ould to allow at least fifty Union surgeons through their lines, and all the provisions, medicines and stores they chose to bring with them; which offer has been treated by Secretary Stanton with contemptuous silence, it follows, therefore, that if there is any suffering among the disabled soldiers now in Richmond, it is due, not to the Confederate Government, which has done, in view of the scant means, what it could to make them comfortable; but to President Lincoln and Secretary Stanton, who, when they had the chance to send surgeons and stores declined to do so, or even to consider the offer of the Confederate Government. It is very clear, from the whole conduct of the Administration, that it does not wish an exchange of prisoners, and that it has so conducted matters as to convey to the country the impression that the rebels were ill treating their prisoners whereas the parties really to blame have been themselves.

The campaign in the Southwest--the advance of Hurlburt and M'Pherson. The Federal force which is now advancing into East Mississippi, and before which in retiring Gen Polk has evacuated Meridian, is under the command of Gen Sherman, and consists of two army corps--the 16th and 17th, under Hurlbut and McPherson. The cavalry to attend the expedition left Memphis for Corinth on the 3d inst. The St Louis Republican, commenting upon the movements in that quarter, says: Promising activity is observable in Gen Sherman's and Gen Banks's department. Quite a number of troops have been concentrated in the vicinity of Vicksburg, and already our lines have been advanced towards Jackson, as far as the Big Black. Posts on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad have been abandoned, and the garrisons, incl

The New York World, of the 7th, says: Our Nashville correspondence represents that affairs are in a sad condition in East Tennessee. --Longstreet has had his own way in that section, and has succeeded in foraging upon the most productive portion of the State, and this, too, while the troops at Knoxville have been compelled to endure the privation of limited rations. General Schofield has taken command, and hopes are entertained that a change for the better will be the immediate result. The late raid on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad--loss over a million dollars. A letter from Cumberland, Md., dated the 8th inst., says: On the 29th ult, a large wagon train was captured between New Creek and Petersburg; but this disaster caused very little excitement in town; but on the 2d inst, this raid culminated.

st a possibility that the whole available strength of the enemy at present in Virginia may be thrown into Georgia and East Tennessee, Gen. Sherman will be cautious in going southward from that line which intersects Jackson, Meridian, Selma, and Montgomery. It seems plain that Gen. Sherman's troops in the field should, after securing Jackson, proceed due east to Meridian, the junction of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad with the Southern Mississippi. From Vicksburg to Meridian the distance is , &c., at hand to make it available for transportation. By the time the road is opened events will probably have so shaped themselves as to determine the now doubtful question whether Sherman should go on down to Mobile or proceed to Selma and Montgomery in order to co-operate with Gen. Thomas in a flank movement with Atlanta in view. Our own belief, which may go for what it is worth, is that with the indirect assistance of Gen. Sherman in occupying the attention of the rebels in Mississippi,

tance from Meridian to Mobile. We suppose that the railroad connecting Meridian with the base of supplies at Vicksburg can be rapidly placed in running order, and there is sufficient rolling stock, locomotives, &c., at hand to make it available for transportation. By the time the road is opened events will probably have so shaped themselves as to determine the now doubtful question whether Sherman should go on down to Mobile or proceed to Selma and Montgomery in order to co-operate with Gen. Thomas in a flank movement with Atlanta in view. Our own belief, which may go for what it is worth, is that with the indirect assistance of Gen. Sherman in occupying the attention of the rebels in Mississippi, General Banks will find himself amply strong enough, aided by the fleet in the gulf, to contend against the enemy at Mobile and capture that city. Should he do so, and our vessels secure the passage of the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers, a chain of communication can be established of the g
