The fate of the Deserter.

--In the retreat of the army of Middle Tennessee from Tullahoma to Chattanooga a number of men deserted, or remained behind with the resolve to take the oath of allegiance to the United States, and with the hope that by that simple process they would be permitted to remain quietly at home. In every instance, as we learn by the Nashville papers, and through reliable persons who have just come out from Middle Tennessee, the deserters and stragglers from the Confederate army were arrested and confined in the penitentiary at Nashville, with the option left them either to go immediately into the Yankee Negro Dutch army or else to be sent North, there to be immured within the dungeon walls of a filthy Yankee prison to the end of the war. --Chattanooga Rebel.
