Cashiered by the Rebels

PADUCAH, May 22. – Clay King has been publicly disgraced and cashiered from the Southern service.  The order was publicly read on dress parade at Corinth not long since.

Five deserters from the Southern service came to Fort Henry Sunday and took the oath of allegiance.  500 daily, is the average of deserters from the Corinth amry.
