AFFAIRS IN DIXIE. ANOTHER BUDGET OF NEWS. We have received a budget of Southern papers of dates from the 16th inst. to the 23d, from which we gather the following: ARMY CHANGES. RICHMOND, July 21.-Major Gen. Holmes is assigned to the command of the Department of transMississippi. Brig Gen. Andersen has been promoted to the rank of Major-General, and assigned to the com mand of the Division recently commanded by Gen. Huger, who has been assigned to the duties of Inspector of Ordnance Col. Jenkins, of South Carolina, has been raised to the rank of Brigadier-General. Col. Martin E. Green, of Missouri, has been promoted to a Brigadier-General. The resignation of Brig. Gen. Joseph R Anderson has been accepted Cal. Forrest states that in the affair at Murfrees. boro' he captured 1200 prisoners, including two Brigadiers and four pieces of cannon, and that he destroyed half a million dollars' worth of army stores, three locomotives, with trains attached, and the depot. His loss, he says, was sixteen killed and thirty wounded. The Bank of Virginia, which was removed from Richmond at the time of the great Confed. erate scare there, has resumed operations in that city. The Richmond Examiner is now edited by Edward A. Pollard, well known in Washington, and the author of "Black Diamonds and various Works on the slavery question. Daniels, the proprietor of the Examiner, is disabled by a severe wound. J. Baumgarten, formerly an engraver in Wash. ington, is now employed by the Confederate Government as an engraver. The Examiner is joyous over intelligence of fine crops in Virginia, and says: This news is of vast importance just now, as it is more than probable that the State of Virginia will have to support the army during the year. The finest corn lands of North Carolina, and the rice fields of South Carolina are in the hands of the public enemy, while the crop of cereals in the cotten States is said in consequence of protracted droughts, to be an absolute failure." The Exammer says there is considerable ac tivity in the cotton market of the South, parties being anxious to sell on foreign account, under the impression that they will be enabled to save their cotton from destruction by making sale to persons not citizens. The Examiner says: "Thisimpression appears to have been very unduly created by an expression of desire on the part of the government to protect cotton belonging to neutrals from destruetion when exposed to seizure by the enemy. We are assured that this disposition of the government was distinctly expressed as depending upon contingencies which we do not think likely to occur. The Confederate States Government has merely signified its readiness to issue instructions to: refrain from the destruction of cotton belonging to neutrais, even when exposed to seizure by the enemy, on condition that the neutral nation shall give proper guaranties that such cotton shall be effectually protected by its own power against seizure and appropriation by the enemy, if allowed to fall into his possion." The Richmond Dispatch berates Dr. Owen Munson, of this city, taken prisoner amongst the Federal surgeons, as a hypocritical psalm-singing apostle of the church be belongs to, who, when belived in Augusta, Ga., professed to be an arden pro-slavery man. The Examiner says: "An ignorant rumor has been circulated that Major General Jackson has been made a general in the regular Confederate army. The rumor is entirely without foundation. The Confederate army, as distinguished from the Provisional, Isa permanent organization, and, at present, composed of a skeleton of officers. The highest rank in It and that act special is "general, of Congress, " and title cannot is limited be enlarged by a by the Executive. The generals in the Confederate service named in the order of rank are:

Banking Establishments Returned. [From the Richmond Examiner, July 29.] The Bank of Virginia and the Exchange Bank, which, about the middle of last May, being seized with the gunboat panic, fled away to Danville, have, since the defeat of McClellan, plucked up courage and returned to do business in this city.
