Description: War Department

By a general order from the War Dapartment, Major-General John C Pemberton has 
been appointed to the command of a new department,composed of the State of 
Mississippi and that part of Louisiana east of the Mississippi river. Medical 
purveyers are to seize all medical supplies held by speculators. General 
Pemberton was recently stationed at Charleston and Savannah.

------------------

We learn that Col. H. W. All?n of the of the 4th Louisiana Regiment,who was
so dangerously wounded at the battle of Baton Rouge is rapidly recovering, 
thanks to the care and skill of Dr. Martin and may soon be expected to take 
command of his brigade,as the gallant Colonel has been promoted to a Brigadier 
Generalship.Certainly it could not have been bestowed upon a worthier or more 
competent officer.

------------------

On Parole- On Thursday Last The 9th inst. Capt. Heny Gentles, of the Pelican 
Rifles returned home from luka, Tennessee, where he has been a prisoner since 
the 19th of September. In the battle at luke Capt. Gentles received a gun shot 
wound in the right knee. Capt. Gentles with four others - Ed. Jolly, James 
Roddy, John Caffery and John Hock are on parole and will be exchanged. D. Eccles 
is also a prisoner from the same company,. Capt. Gentles reports Lieut. John B. 
Irvin, Robt. Denham And James Hirsch, of Iberville killed in the engagment and 
Fred Tunnard, Robertson, Roisden Ransreen, Cameron and several others, wounded 
slightly.

------------------

Exchange of Prisoners.
On Thursday, the 9th inst., Conhfederate steamer, Louis D'Or came to this place 
from Vicksburg Miss., under a flag of truce with 86 Federal prisoners for 
exchange, as agreed upon by Cartel between Gen. Van Dorn and Gen. Butler The 
Federal prisoners were in charge of Major N.G. Watts. In the evening the Federal 
stemer Laurel Hill came up from New Orleans with about 350 Confederate 
prisoners, eighty-six of whom were exchanged and the balance paroled. They left 
on Friday morning on the Louis D'Or for Vicksburg where they will also be 
exchanged. Whilst here, the Federals removed the body of a Captain buried after 
the battle in the State House grounds.Through the courtesy of Major Watts and 
Major Thos. F.Walker we have been furnished with the following list of the names 
of prisoners.The late hour in which the names were copied prevented our getting 
the rank of the men after the letter G. The list from which ours was taken is 
that furnished by the Federals when the Laurel Hill left New Orleans; hence 
there may br some errors in the the spelling of names.

FROM OUR ARMY.
The Richmond Dispatch ofthe 26th ult., says. '' We have at last auth?ntic 
accounts of the position of our forces under Gen. Lee, but we are sure our 
readers will pardon us if we decline to discline their whereabouts.S??ice it to 
say that our army is not in Mayland,but in a posiIion to meet the enemy should 
he attempt an invasion of the Valley. A gentleman from the immediate 
neighborhood of the army, and who left there on Tuesday morning, says that 
recruits are daily reaching Gen. Lee and that the army is now in far better 
conditiont than at any time since the battle of Manass?s. The offlcers and men 
are in buoyant spirits, and are anxiously hoping that the enemy will attempt the 
passage of the Poto??ac. Of this, however, there seems very little probability, 
as it is currently reported, and generally believed, that McClellan is falling 
back in the direction of Washington. The movements of the enemy are closely 
observed, and within the course of a week or ten days there will be some 
developments which will once more alarm the inhabitants of the Pennsylvania 
border.
The victory of Saturday last , though complete and decisive, has been somewhat 
exaggorated. The numbers of the enemy who crossed the river were not near so 
large as has been represented and perhaps not exceeding three thousand men. With 
the exception of some three hundred, all were killed, wounded, or captured the 
next day, the enemy , under a flag of truce, came over to bury their slaughtered 
comrades, and there statements were that only three hundred of the whole force 
answered at roll call that morning. Most of these were killed in their efforts 
to escape. The gentleman alluded to says the whole Valley is one vast camp. From 
Winchester to Staunton the camp fires of troops hastening on to the Army of the 
Potomao, are continually seen.He believes low estxmc to of twenty-five thousand 
a low estim?te of tbe number of the troops met between the two points.
