A SPY IN RECESSIA
Four Months' Tripl hrough the nsalh
by a Federal Agent .
Corresnondance of the Cincinnati Commercial.
CHATTANOCCIA, Tenn., DEC. 29, 1863.
It was my good iortnee to day to make the
acquaintance of a highly intelligent gen
tleman, who, size the commencement of
the war, has been in the constant service
of the government as a spy. Previous to
the rebellion be was engaged in a business
that compelled him to travel largely
throughout the South, and consequently,
his previous acquaintance with localities]
and people enabled him to obtain infor
motion cf the utmost importance to the
Government, and form clear and correct
opinions as to the sentiments of the peo
ple and the internal condition of the con
federacy. He has just returned from a
four months' tour through the States of
Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, Georgia,
North and South Carolina, and Virginia,
and has shown me highly complimentary
letters from Generals in this army for the'
vefuabl'e information furnished. For
prudential reasons his name is withheld,
as well as particulars of rebel movements
and intentions in the future. Much of
his information is merely confirmatory of
statements already made through the me
dium cf returned prisoners; but, roaming
at will through rebel camps, conversing
with officers high in command, obtaining,
the confidence of old friends', he had rare
opportunities for obtaining reliable in ,
formation. His description of his fre
quent arrests and narrow escapes is
graphic and almost improbable ; but, hav
ing seen his papers, with the seal of the
rebel Secretary of War, into whose con
fidence, by his good address and polished
manners, he ingratiated himself, I place
implicit confidence in his statements.
Departure for Dixie.
At the request of the General command
ing the Department, my informant left
Nashville on the 3d of August on the trip
from which be hasjust returned. Leaving
our lines he boldly entered the Confeder
acy, but hie superior wardrobe and intelli
ge t bearing were suspicious, and arriving
at Valherso Springs be was arrested as a
spy. Fortunately he met an old friend in
the person of a rebel surgeon, through
whose instrumentality he was released and
set at liberty. Starting directly for Gen.
Bragg's army, be reached it in doe time,
and remained with it until after the bat
tie of Chickamauga, with the exception
of occasional tripe to neighboring taies
and towns, where he managed to avoid
suspicion. At tEe battle of Chickamauga
he was present and learned the intentions
of the commanding ctticers, as wall as the
exact strength of the enemy's forces.
The Army of General Bragg,
The condition of the soldiery is ropre
sented as being indeed deplorable, Placed,
as they are, on quarter rations, of the
most common and filthy description, with
no prospects of better fare in the future,
mach demoralz ;lion exists, and it is only
by promises of food and clothing that they
are kept from utter disorganization. With
a regularly organized system of espionage
in every regiment, severe discipline, and
fears of the terrible vengeance that will be
e.. aced out to them, there is little hope for
escape in the event of desertion, and the
common soldier is only kept in the rank
by the power of the bayonet. At the pre
sent depreciated rates of rebel currency,
the soldier's pay is but fifty cents per
month in gold. This is a subject of loud
and constant complaint from the men,
whose familes are suffering for the &boo.
late necessaries of life. Notwithstanding
the vigilance of spies and officers.
Desertions. -
are very frequent. While riding through
northern Alabama and portions of Geor
gia, deserters, iu squads of from twenty•
five to one hundred, were met almostdaily
in the woods, seeking safety from the rebel
cavalry, who were met on every public and
side road, in search of stragglers and de- 1
eerters, and conscripting all citizens who
Caine in their way. In many places he
found regularly organized bands of desert
ere, stragglers and runaway negroes, in
trenched on the hills and mountains, pre
pared to resist attempts at their capture.
They i'habit caves it'some instances, and,
where no better means of shelter is at
hand, like the natives of the forest, they
make burrows in hillsides, where they lie
in wait for email squads of cavalry, to rush
upon them and bushwhack them. These
fugitives subsist wholly on what they can
pillage from neighboring planters. De
serters
are shot by the dozen almost daily
in Bragg's army.
The Signal of Alarm,
On the approach of rebel cav airy or ]
conscripting officers '
who, by the way, are
always accompanied by a military eeeort,
the fugitives give the signal of alarm by
blowing a tin horn. As its notes roll
along the valleys a general rush is made
to the forest rendezvous, from which they
not trafrequently sally forth and attack the
cavalry and conscript officers, who are sure
to get the worst of it, as the pursuit of the
fugitives over fences and through woods is
impossible. My informant states several
instances which came under his own eye,
of rebel cavalry being attacked and put to
flight by these fugitives. During three
days' journey in a portion of Alabama he
heard the deserters' signal almost hourly,
and daily learned of more or less being
killed on both sides. Vengeance seems
to be the chief object of their temporary
abode in the hills and woods. The dar
key, it is said, it largely represented in
their rendezvoused habitations, and when
a fight takes place freely assists. Not qn•
frequently they issue forth and give tha
confederates battle in regular skirmish.
They are the terror of Conscript agents
everywhere.
Jeff, Davis' proclamation, issued about
the 10th of August, offering a free pardon
to deserters, did not have the effect con
templated, except in very rare instances:
and so great was the disaffection that in
many cases the cavalry sent out to eacture
the fugitives and swell their ranks. When
opportunities offered, detachments would I
make their way to the federal lines from
their forest hiding-places.
The Dienfreetton of the people-An
. tAgestietle Parties.
My informant represents' the reports of
the disaffection of the people of Georgia,
Alabama, and other states where he has
sojourned, as in the main correct; but
they are very careful in giving expression
to their real sentiments, owing to the se
vere punishment that it is sure to draw'
down open them. To a foreigner like.
him they are more free, and breathe forth,
strong anathemas against the men,
who have taken the lead in the rebellion.
The President is uneasily distrusted, and ;
o comes in for violent denttneiationiii

from all parties—covert Unionists and
rabid fire•eaters. All are anxious for
peace—the poor for peace by a return to
the old Uniod, the rich for a peace that
will give them independence and not dis•
WO slavery.
The confiscation of property for the
use of the army ,
cause for increasing
discontent. That of the poor is India
criminately taken from Unionists and se
cessionists, while that of the rich and in
flaential is respected, except in cases
where the government cannot do without
it. The poorer class of secessionists wit
nese the pillage of their homes, while their
wealthy neighbors are allowed to retain
their worldly goods, and the result is that
they lose all faith in the government and
its cause, and pray for the old flag. This
partisan, oppressive polity has inangnra:
ted two parties—the wealthy, who elk
as their property remains undisturbed,'
are for war, with a hope that independ-.:
ence may be achieved and slavery saved
to them, and the poor, who see in a cone
tinuation of the war the grim visages of
starvation and death at tlivir doors.
What the Rank and File Think of their
came,
Walking through rebel camps, convers
ug with officers and men at their bivouac
fires, my informant was impressed and
surpnsed to find the embers of Unionism
still smouldering in the bosoms of the
rank and file. Nearly all would willingly.;
lay down their arms and accept the beet
terms of peace attainable, believing that
all hope, now that the original seceded
territory is so narrowed down, has van
ished of independence for the South.
The same feeling is held by the officers
to a great extent, but as they are deter
mined to "die game," and keep up the
drooping spirits of their subordinates by;
gross misrepresentations at d expressiond
of cortinuea faith in their failing cause.
How the Rebels Subsist their Troops.
To such a state of desperation has the
South been brought that for many weeks
previous to the battle of Chickamauga the
army was fed on quarter rations. Thel
soldiers are represented to be so starved
that they care not which party wins, so
long as they can get something to eat and
a battle to them is a Godsend, for, or
the eve of one they are better fed, to en-,
courage them to fight, while the hope of
driving the enemy back and obtaining
some of Uncle Sam's "manna" is a strong
incentive to induce the soldier to deeds
desperation. When detachments are disl
' patched, however, on special duty, away;
from the regular army, they are never fur-i
nished with a ration, but must depend
upon their ingenuity to Beheld. They
always succeed by indiscriminate pillage of
the peoble en route.
The Soldiers' Families—No corees.
pondenee Permitted,
The opportunities of my informant, for
observing the condition of the families of
the soldiers were ample. Wherever he
went he found the most Intense suffering
Prevailing azeßog them. Thousands and
thousands actlially starve to death, or
dreg out a,enitlerable existence upon the
paltry pittance derived from the. Govern•
ment for the manufacture of army cloth-•
ing; at which but about ore dollar per
day in confederate money can be realized.
Bread riots are frequent ' yet, the news
papers do not menunn them lest the in
telligence reach their soldiery. They are
not confined to one or two places, but
are universally in every city and town
throughout the South where the poor
starving families can be collected together.
My informant was pres'-nt and witnessed
many of these riots, which he describes
as extremely harrowing to the feelings of
the humane. To each an extreme are the
families of soldiers driven that the women
in towns and cities, as a last resort take
to a life of prostitution. So general is
thin that the name of a "war widow" has
become synonymus with a life of de
bauchery. All this is so carefully kept
from the brave and suffering men in the
field that they know nothing of it. The
time has long since passed when they
were permitted to receive letters front
home, lest in them they would receive.
news that would wring their hearts and
prompt them to desert. In a few instances,
and bat seldom are the soldiers permitted
to write; but never to receive letters,
unless the contents are first perused by
others,
The Negroes and White Fugitives.
As the Federal army advances all the
wealthy cotton growers and negro breed
ertretreat within the rebel lines, taking
with them their familia and negroes--a
practice that calls forth strong deauncia
lion from the interior - inhabitants, who
cense them as d•--d refugees, who have
quartered themselves and their negroes
upon them to devour the food which they
require for themselves and families. A
southern refugee with his negroes is as
coldly received as the Yankees, and he is
given to understand that he is an inter•
loper, who is no better than a vagrant.
As an illustration of this my informant
was in Macon, Georgia, where
The Condition of the Slaves
is represented as wretched in the extreme.
They are never used as soldiers, and it
would not be safe to trust guns in their
hands, but they are employed as team
sters and upon the construction of forti
fioationc. Their owners, in nearly all
cases, are unable to feed and clothe them,
and the sable fellows are driven to the
most direst necessities for clothing and
food. Stealing is the most natural resort
in this extremity. They generally pre
tend to be in favor of the South and the
cause of their masters, but on the advance
of the Union armies they make their way
to oar lines; where they are certain to re
ceive more humane treatment. The men
are not a saleable article from the fact
that they nearly all run away; bat females
are more reliable, and bring double the
price received for a male. They are
nearly all idle, as but few will work them
on plantations and keep them in food
and clothing. Hence they fall back a,
burden upon their mestere. who in many
cases own no other than slave property.
In many ewes negroes are offered free to
planters for their keep, but rarely will
they be taken.
The Siege of Charleston...
Throughout South Carolina the people
seemed to be impressed with the idea that
the federals could take Charleston when•
ever they wanted it, but not without large
loss. They believe that it is not our in•
tention to capture it untill after other vic
tories have been achieved, that its siege is
merely kept up t o employ the rebel troops,
and prevent the concentration of their
forces inVirginia and the Southwest. The
citizens had nearly all left the city, and
none were permitted egress or ingress.
The Next Crop—Fears of Starvation.
Throughout the whole territory traveled
by him no cotton is planted, and the pros
pect for a crop of cereals is very small in
deed, as the territory now held by the
confederacy is quite limited and unadapt
ed to the growth of cereals. There is not
sufficient in the country to subsist the peo.
pie - until the next crop is harvested, and
starvation stares them in the face. No
provisions arrive from Europe, but cloth
