We do not, pr frsetliy, permit war sup plies to go through; but it is certain that everything, except the heaviest and ino.t bulky war materials, is easily tiaustnitted. The passage of pistols, powder, and percussion caps is of frequent occurrence, and, when de tected, is passed ever lightly. In one instance two million percussion caps, packed in live- barrels of tiour and des! tined for Gen. Holmes' army, were cap tured by the Matine Brigade. They were taken out of the lines upon a pass signed by Gen. Huribut's Adjutant Gen eral. This is only one out of a hundred itiiilar in- - tanres; At all points where troops are stationed, trade stores are at once opened, and allowed to sell what ever the people want to.. tiny and have the money or cotton to pay for.

Admitting, for the sake of argument, that the Treasury Agent is corruptible, he has here a tine oppor tunity for making an honest penny. If he discriminates in one' man's favor to the disappointment of a half dozen oth ers, it would be but just that the lucky individual should "remember" the be nevolence of the Agent. It is proper to state that he does remember him, and Ibis remembrance usually takes place before the necessary documents are signed. sometimes it is done by the trader agreeing to divide the profits of his speculadon with the Agent. At' Natchez the traders all say that they are obliged to give hta4.',their profits to the Treasury Agent, amid that functionary has admitted the fait to more than one individual, His conduct ks 114111. under going "investigation," The saute thing I is being done liele anil elsewhere along the rivet'- At. the outset it was announced that the number of trade stores would be I limited to a very low figure, only enough being allowed to meet the wants ibr the people residing within the lines.

Adjutant General 1 Thomas was sent here to supervise the matter and give it his personal attention. 1 am told by patties familiar with Wash ington affairs that the amiable General e is really in exile, and his position here was created so as to keep him out of Washington, Avording to my inform , ant, he 4 looked upon there as a milita ry excrescence, an animated man in uni form, and is consequently kept in ban ishment. Be this as it may, he is hav ing a fine time of it here. By his profuse promises he has induced many men to embark in the enterprise of raising cot ton. They have found, when too late, that Gen. Thomas' assurance of military protection has never been fulfilled. Whether the General ever had the slight est design of keeping a tenth of his prom ices, is best known to himself. He is in timately associated with Mr. Geo. Field, of St. Louis and Levi Blossom, of Mil waukee, iund, through them, with adoz. en others. In the vicinity of Vidalia, opposite Natchez Field and Blossom have a half dozen plantations. Gen. Thomas' son is upon "Arnuldia" plan-, tation, below Vidalui, and has an , interest in, "Whitehall," which adjoins it. The ifirst named parties are also largely interested at Milliken's Bend :Lad in the:vicinity of this place. It is but just to Gen. Thomas to state that he iiliservss the old principal of fidelity- to his relatives and intimates, and carefully :itations troops for their protection; while be refuses protection to strangers: A gentleman, who had been induced to embark in this enterprise by reason of the General's alluring promises, tells - me "tat he recently suffered a serious raid, that tompliitely broke up his operatione. Ile thought proper to inform Gen. Thomas of the matter, and was - feet ii jib, "Why do you come to me? What have Ito (1() with this matter? It is rt.) affair of mine." The gentleman retired in astonishment, and now concludes that the lih eral promises made in Janu ary and February were "official," and, therefore without foundation. He would not for a moment think Gen. Thomas culpable when he stated, with his uni eorwefnor w e '-official," asuntrue what . nail he mustt h .o e rn b i e o en n 'h s aa t n i v i de pp kt e hn d to shirt and socks, and therefore without the insignia of rank, it would have been a different matter. It may be 'Well to state here that one of Gen. Thomas' intimates has recently been under trial on ia trivial charge— trivial for this latitude. It is nothing, - worse than an allegation that the firm of , Field & Blostom stole a hundred and odd bales of cotton Flom a widow, and at- : tempted to steal some two hundred more. People here consider it a v ery small leaner, and wonder . that any oilieer.will give his attention to smelt an insignifi cant affair. .
