VUOJI VICKSBIKO. Wo have the Citizen of tbe 23d, which con tains several items of interest concerning tbe condition of affairs in and around that city. Gen. Duncan, lately commander of tho forts bo- low New Orleans, had arrived end was'gladly welcomed. Tho defenses were being daily strengbtened, and the Citizen says : Whatever doubts wo have had as to tho merits of our de fenses here, arc now rapidly disappearing, and we are assured by the must competent and ex porienced military judges that our works are of such a character as to bid defiance to tho en- emy. The Federal fleet continued to occupy its po sition, out of reach of the batteries. Sseveral shots had bton fired by the gunboats at our men on tbe shore between the lower batteries and Warrenton, but no oue has been hurt by them. An immense amount of sickness is reported amoDir tbe Federil troops on tbo transports. It appears that they have run short of medicines acd a party of them made a visit to a drag store in Warrenton aud sacked it of all its contents, One boat is said to be filled entirely with their sick The general impression ivas that ths enemy had landed tho troops from their transports &t some point below the city, and tho hope Is expressed that it may be true They can then be met without the protection of their gunboats- - Messrs. Walker and Uardine, of Warrenton, had been arrested and carried to tbe fleet, and the farms of Jei-f- . Davis and Jon. Davis destroyed by the invaders. The Citizen relates tbe particulars of another outrage, as follows : A parly of thieves from the Yank?2 fiet taq. te.rday ma3e a visit to the plantation of Messrs. Brown St Johnston, en the Louisiana shore, committing all manner of depredations, kill-n- hogs and cuttle, and destroying whatever came iu their way, and finally approached the dwell- ings of Mr. Geo. W. Johnston, with tho inten tion ot plundering it ot whatever valuables they might find. Mr. Johnston confronted them and warned them off telling them that they had killed his cattle and hots, and destroved tiic property ; but that they must not enter his house; that he sbould defend it at all hazards. They paid no heed to his remonstranco, and in endeav- oring to force thir wav into tho hnn. b;i!,i oue of the party, when they fired upon him kill- ing him instantly. They then took the body of their dead companion, and also Mr. Martin the overseer, and Mr. John Perrani, another man on the place, put them in irons and carried them to tho tieet. These two men upon being brought before the commandiog officer and stating the case, wero released and sent hornn, tbe officer saying they wero not to blame for defending their homes. E"Gen. Wool sent a flag of truce into Nor- folk, after its evacuation, informing tho citizens that they would bo allowed forty-eig- hours to tako tho oath of allegiance to tho Lincoln gov- ernment. In the event of refusal, they wers coolly informed that they would bo treated as prisoners of war Wheat. The Savannah Republican of tho 17th inst., says that its exchanges from every part of tbe State represent tbo wheat crop as greatly improving and promising a good yield, in spito of the unfavorable appcaranco some few weeks back.

FIMMl NEW OKI.EAIVH. Wo have received the New Orleans True Delta of tht 20th, whii-- is our latest exchango dato from that city t contains hut little of interest, as, of couij; u.ider the censorship set up over the journals of tlm; city everything is made to square with tlm iiotions oi the invaders. Batler's money proclamation is the only older published. This document prohibits the' incor porated banks, bivir.gs' huiks, and private bankers, from paying out Confederate notes to their depisitors and creditors. The first named institutions ore directed to p'iy out only the bills of the bank, United S'ates treasury notes. gold, or silver; tho Savings' hanks only gold silver, or United States tp-m- iry uote3, current bills of city bauks, or their own bills, to an amount not exceeding one thiid ot their depos its, and of denomination not less than one dol lar, which they are authorized to issue, and for the redemption of which their assets shall held liable, and the private bankers only th current bills of city banks, or United States treasury notes, gold, or silver. Tbe incorporated banks are authorized to issuo bills of a less de- nomination than five dollars, hut not less than oue dollar, anything in their charters to the con- tra y notwithstanding, and are authorized to re ceive Confederate notes for any of their bills till tbe 27th day of May instant. Parties who have small notes in circulation are required to redeem them, either in gold, sil ver. United States treasury notes, or curcnt bills of city banks, under penalty of confiscation of their property and sale thereof for the purpose of redemption of tho notes so Issued, or impris onment for a term of hard labor. We tako tho following items from the local column of the True Delta : For Red River. Judging lrom the quan tity of baggage wo saw on board the steamboat iloro, bound tor Ked river, we should conclude that there were a number fleeing from this fam city to where provisions ore more plentiful. Fearing that tbe means of subsistence will not come to the city, they profer going to them. Tho Moro will be unable to accommo date all who nro anxious to leave tho city for any place but this, lap only consolation we can draw trom tci3 is. that it reduces the num ber of months to feed. The Provision Question. We wsroled to hope that the arrangements made by tho subsist ence committee would relievo public nnxtety in reference to the scarcity of provisions, but a vis- it toPoydras market yesterday morning caused us to tear that cur hopes were not to be realized There was a very ereat scorcitv of meat, which enabled those who had what littlo there was to exact an extravagantly high prica for it. And we heard some complaint about a scarcity of bread. But had there been an abundance cf both meat and bread, many would have bad to return home with empty baskets, owing to the lack ot current funds. The prospect tor tho ta . , , ture ss mueea gloomy. SOBTHERS ITEJIS. The northern papers announce that General Mitchell's command had joined that of General Popo, and on tho 14th formed the extromo loft of tho Federal army fronting Corinth. As the Federal steamer Gladiator, with tho Fourth Minnesota regiment on board, was pass ing Paris landing, Tennessco river, en route for Pittsburg, her upper works gave way, killing five or six and injuring several others.

The fruits of the passage of the law emanci pating slaves in tbe District of Columbia, are beginning to be developed at the Federal capi tal. Wo see it stated by the correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, th&l since tho measure went into operation, Washington has become a city of refuge for thousands of fleeing contra bands from tbe adjacent counties of Virginia and Maryland. They dally pour in by bun dreds, and are taken in charge, protected, and fed by the government. The fugiiive slave law is practically nullified, and the master, in search oi his runaway property, has no resource what ever, and, indeed, he isSucky if he escapes mob violence and imprisonment. The military and civil authorities wink at this stato of affairs, and by every action show thoy aro for the negro, and against tho master. Men are now imprisoned for daring to attempt the arrest of their own slaves on the streets of Washington. Being Union men does not protect them, unless tbey are abolitionists. XW During the week ending May lOtb, the following Confederate prisoners died at Camp Dennison, Ohio: C S.

Friends of the deceased desiring information respecting their place of burial or tho removal of bodies, should address F. H. Allen, Milford, Ohio. In en interview with a committee of tho Virginia Legislature, on tbo lath inst., President Davis stated that ho had never entertained a thought of withdrawing the army from Virginia and abandoning tbe State : that if, in the course of events, tho capital should fall, the necessity of which ho did not sea or anticipate, that would bo no reason for withdrawing tho army from Vir- ginia.

LETTER FROM CORINTH. Special Correspondence of the Memphis Appeal Corinth, Saturday, May 24, 18G2. An almost continuous rain has fallen the last twontj four hours, not heavy, but still in such quantities as seriousiy to impede Jocomotion. Ths loads iu the country must be so saturated as easily to be cut up by artillery, if not by trans- portation wagons, so that in any case there can scarcely he any geueral movement on tbe part of thu enemy for sometime to come. For us the ruin has been opportuno, as tho accidental show- ers which had previously fallen had scarcely sufficed to keep the creeks and branches suffi- ciently snpplud for our horses Now we have an abundance. Iii many places, indeed, as I rode through the camps this morning, I found the banks full and overflowing. With the return of rain and the opening of wells throughout tho encampment, has also re- turned tho health of the army. It was probably never in better vigor or spirits Tho response of tbe people, also, to Gen. Beauregard's request has supplied us abundantly, though I am sorry to say at high prices, with vegetables. This is likewise having a happy and healthy effect upon the men. The army is, in fact. In as good con- dition every way as it possibly can be, saving only its inactiyity, from which the late advance movement upon the enemy's lines has been a great Tclief. Of the enemy wo bear but little, except that they continue their reconnoissances and pursuit after knowledge as near as possible in front, but for tbe most part under difficulties. Yesterday fourteen of them were caught with cow-bell- s round their necks, apparently turned, like Nebuchadnezza, out to " grass.'' Tbey would seem, indeed, to haye played their new charac- ter for sometime, and with considerable success, for it is said that these same cow-bell- s have been heard successive nights and at several places on our right, where they were at last caugbt. Yan- kees in t o character of cows is not bad, but it was hardly necessary for them to pnt on bolls. We also caught, night before last, an old school Presbyterian doctor of divinity, from Ill- inois- His name is Warren, and at the mo- ment of his capture ho was riding alone through a leafy wood meditating how best he would take a covey of partridges. " If I only had a net to spring upon them," tnought the Rev. Dr. to himself, " they would bo my cantives." At that moment a Confederate soldier rode up and ho was a captive himself. Moral. Doctors of divinity had better be preaching the gospel at home than springing partridges in advance of an army of invasion. The winter before the war broke out, Dr. Warren was in New Orleans, and for a timo a guest of the Rev. Dr. Palmer, of the same church. At that time he seemed to entertain very different sentiments from those he is now fighting for. At all events be expressed himself as decidedly opposed to coercion. " I am surprised, therefore," said Dr. Palmer, " to find you in tho Federal enny." "I am not surprised to find you in tho Con fed erato army," was tho cool and ready reply. I understand that the Rev. partridge hunter is to be exchanged for the Rev. Dr. Witherspoon, captured some timo since while in attendance upon tho sick and wounded, and, as a non-co- batant, unjustly held. It Is to hoped, howovcr, that Dr. Palmer will give his old acquaintance a good "pray" before ho loaves, adding tho appropriate adago, that, if Inclined to hunt partridges, he should hunt them in his own land. H. P. A CANARD FBO.71 MEMPHIS. The Cairo correspondent of the Chicago Times recently met the "reliable gentleman," direct from Memphis, from whom, of course much in telligence suitable for northern circulation was obtained. Our readers will laugh at the men- dacious misrepresentations which aro imposed upon our Chicago cotemporary and his readers. We extract tho following from the correspondent's letter: At Memphis there was much boldnoss mani fested in the exuression of Union sentiment, in view of the probable occupancy of the town by northern forces. Mr. J. handed me a copy of a call for a meet ing in Memphis as follows : " Stars and stripes, attention " At tho appointed hour let every loyalist bo touna at the 11 all ot Independence. " Our deliverance is at hand. " Let us prepare to welcome It. " By order of the President" This was posted throughout the city. Another read as follows: " Watchmen, know your beats ! Sentinels, stand ready for duty ! " Guard woll the entranco to Loyalty Hall to- night, and let no traitorous bands surprise the assembly of the lovers of freedom and consti- tutional government. Let every loyalist be promptly in attendance at tuts meeting, as busi ness ot great importance (in anticipation ot the arrival of our friends) will be transacted. By order of the executive committee." Others of a similar nature were consnlcuouslv posted. All news from down tho river was carefully suppressed, hence my informant has nothing later of the operations of Com. Farragut's fleet than has been published. The Guubont Engugenieut Above Fort JPUIoir. The Chicago Tribune, of the 16th inst., allud ing to the gunboat battle of the 10th inst., above Fort Pillow, is forced to pay the following just compliment to tbo efficiency of our fleet, the efficiency aud gallantry of its men : We refer to tbe account for the further de tails, from which it will appear that the Cincin nati was stove in twice by the rebel rams, and barelv escaped slnkln? id middle channel with all on board. The participation of her consorts in the fight was gallant and effective, and the enemy withdrew. We shall need to have more proof than we now possess, to confirm the tales of some of tho correspondents as to the extent of the enemy's disasters, or that they will not again give name, xms anair must stand in tbe wholesome if unpleasant list of surprises in this war, the list which cost us tho lives of many brave men at Hamilton Roads, and at Pittsburg . . T I - a, i r i - i p jxu ui mem grew ou( 01 lue lolly ot unuervaiuing me enemy, r ort ntiow, we were tea to believe, was ours tor the asking, a ripe appie reauy to urop into our mouths, when snd- denly out from under its euns, steams a nower. ful fleet of mail-cla- d vessels, of whose existeneA and certainty of wdoso power our fleet seems to have been inadequately aware.

We do not write tbis to pa3s censure uoon anv of . i i f n .... . - . . no uruve men oi our noiuia, who certainlv re deemed the fault, if any there was, hut the lesson is one that should be remembered. Whnt the Vanderbill Warn to Do. The significant movements of onr fleet In Hampton Roads on Thursday, together wit1! what has been published heretofore, says the World, remove entirely the necessity for conceal- ing the fact that it was designed that the steam- er Vanderbilt should run down tbe Merrimac, in case tbe latter could be disposed of in no other way Tho following calculation will show with what f rce the former would strike tho Merrimac if moving at her usual speed : The dead weight of tho Vanderbilt is, in round numbers, four thousand tuns, and her averago speed is at least fifteen milc3 an hour. That is equal to 60,000 tuns moving at tho rate of one mile an hour, which, in turn, is equivalent to three hundred tuns moving at tho rate of two hundred miles an hour. The velocity of a cannon ball may bo rated at the rate of two hundred miles an hour. The Armstrong gun, ono of tho heaviest in use, carries a 100-pou- ball. In other words, tho Vanderbilt would strike the Merrimac with a force of six thousand d balls from an Armstrong gun, at tho same instant and in tho same spot .' A further calculation shows that the momentum ot tne vauuerout wouia no equal to 1,200 balls from the Union gun on the Rip Raps, each one of which weighs about five hundred pounds. rjy The Pioneer paper mills near Athens, Ga., have been rebuilt and are now in operation. An Abolition View of Foreign Interven- tion. From tho Chicago Tribune of the 16th Tbo foreign news once more begins to teem with rumors of contemplated intervention in our national affairs by France and England. The reports, as yet, are scarcely authentic, or derived from official sources, hut they are sufficiently significant in character, and borrow enough weight, from the present posture of our affairs, to awaken increased vigilance in our govern- ment. If these two nations would willingly note tbe decadence of power in tbo United States, both from hostility to our form cf government and through jealousy at its supremacy on this continent, nothing would be moro likely than that thoir movement towards intervention would be inversely with tbe prospects of success to the rebellion. If the lupttiro bo perfected on this side of tbo Atlantic, and, without interfer- ence from abrod, the rebels maintain themselves with sufficient results attained to characterize their attempt as a successful revolution, tbe two powers would prefer to keep their oands oti and remain at a distance until such time as the recognition of tho now government would seem Inevitable With this view it would bf natural to expect that when tho rebel causo apparently flourished, theso nations would aid it secretly, if at all, holding uloof from overt acts, willing that the coveted end bo placed freely in their hands. This on tho assumption that nothing would better please England and France than the hopeless disruption of the American Union. And when that prospect is diminished in tho light of Federal victorias, and gathers darkness from events made up of Federal advances aud rebel evacuations, uothing would be mor natu- ral than that tbe scheme oi interventirf?hould be revived with new force. There have been fresh reasons devolved from this war why Euro- pean despotisms should dread a recuperation of our national unity aud power. If they hated us before, as tbo exponents beloru the world of a government by the people, that dislike is intensi- fied by tho proofs that we aro able to defend thoso principles against all tho old despotisms. Before this new age ot ours, wo were at peace, and won onr protuiueuce by the arts of peace, and this, while European nations were vain- glorious in arms and iu war preparations. Their fleets and armies stood numerically as a reproach to our own. A nation of ahopkeepeTs or agriculturists, skilled in clipper ships, and cunning in inven-tion- s and money-makin- the reputation we thus won was illustrious, but scarcely so g as that now freshly derived from the devel- opments of the war for tho Union. Tho Federal armies are immense, and that without asi-jgl- conscript. Our victories wero won by troops fresh from tho loom and tbe plough. American invention, under the spur ot this struggle, has turned a new page in naval history, closing the list, and ruling out of naval encounters their own boasted war fleets. AU these man be deemed fresh reasons uhti intervention should not be post poned until no pretext can bo made for its exer- cise, and until it will be too late to aid the rebels. These foreign nations are too sagacious not to see that we shall come out of this struggle all the more powtrtnl from the very instrumentali- ties created and musctilarized to crush the re- bellion. Wo shall have learned war, and the ability will be ours as never before to dictate a policy tor this conti:.cnt against all comers. Louis Napoleon is aware ot this, Palmerston knows it aud the coming few weeks will, from the causes named, thoroughly test their real feel- ing toward tbe United States. Government and people ou tbis side the Atlantic, we are alike pre- pared for what events the future may have in store, and if the struggle for onr national ex- istence involve a foreign war, our levies of troops and our war preparations have only begun. Tbe Traitor Convention it! Nnahrillc n " I'iazle." The Argus of yesterday evening alluding to this infamous assemblage says : A gentleman who was in Nashville when this traitorous cabal convened (h.iviiitr arrived tbei on his way to this city from a northern military prison) and listened to tho treasonable harangues, informs us that so fir from any exhibition of tho " wild enthusiasm " aud hearty cheering so the-- attically displayed in tuo report ot Andy John son's ortran, and tho "hnmeiibo crowd" so ex nltinflv alluded to. tho moetiuEr was rather sliinlv attended, few being present save tbe creatures of tho new "government, and the rederal soldiery Not a word ot approval, nor a cheer, issued from the lips of a rennessecau, tither tfmu tbo of tbo renegades whose names appear in the proceedings, the tew respectable citizens who a tended wero passive aud indignant spectators, while the only cheers greeting the speakers came from brtital, uniformed apologies for soldiers, drawn from the lager-beo- r saloons and gutters of St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee. At intervals they shouted, and declared that Tennessee should return to the " Union," hut the people found nothing in the harangues to awaken a responsive chord in tiieir breasts. It was a puerile, puny effort to do something, which utterly failed, and left exposed tho .car cass of Unionism iu Tennessee more rotten and loathsome thau beforo. DESrOTISM AT THE NORTH THREATENED Suitression or a Newspaper. From the NeW York Leader we copy the following : Personal. I havo been informed by telo graph, as tho Leader goes to press, that it is the intention of Secretary Stanton to prevent tho transit ot this paper through tbe mails Secre tary Stanton holds that unfavorable ciiticism upon his conduct of the War Department is cal culated to weaken tbe administration aud exer ciso an insubordinate influence in tbe army. If Secretary Stanton cannot submit to criticism, and supposes that he is an omnipotent power above aud beyond public opinion I ttnnK he is speedily destined to be disabused of this arro- - irant fatlacy. I will calmly await any coercive measures that may bo adopted, and rejoice in tbe opportu nity which they will afford to vindicate tho free dom of the press trom official tyranny, even though it may come from so overbearing and reckless a source as secretary btanton.

FOREIGN I!II80EI,I,AIVV. The Japanese ambassadors were much de- lighted with tho Empress of the French, and with the grandeur of things in general at Paris. They invited several French noblemen to din- ner at their hotel. Among the dishes served at the table was an uncooked fish euf into pieces, and with it was eaten boiled nee, which they conveyed very adroitly to their mouths by means of chopsticks. They also partook of a number of other dishes, and took their wine with great gusto. During tho whole of the repast they drank quantities of warm w ater. for the purposo, it is said, of assisting digestion At the desert tho chief ambassador proposed tbe health of the Emperor, which was replied to by one to tbe Emperor of Japan. Atttr dinner tbe guests were presented with fans and beautiful little Japanese pipes. The entertainment was kept up to a late nour in tue evening, aud during the wholo timo the members of the embassy con- tinued smoking and drinking liquors of differ- ent kinds. In pluco ot pocket handkerchiefs they used large square pieces of paper, which they then put away into another pocket, with out doubt to get rid of them at their leisure. A Paris letter in tho Nord of Brussels, in speaking of the reported preguancy of the Countess de Chanibord, says : " There is only one objection to tills. The Princess Maria The- resa, Archduchess of Austria-Este- , and eldest daughter of the late Francis IV, Duke of Mo dena, was born on the 14th of July, 1817. She is, therefore, now forty. five years of age, aud has been married to the Count de Cbambord since 1848. These dates give us a right to doubt the veracity ot this statement." Mrs. Gallagher, well know., in English cities as a procuress and general dealer in houses of ill tame, was sentenced ny tne tiecoraer ot Liv- erpool to twelve months imprisonment with hard labor, for keeping infamous houses in that city. Mrs. Gallagher has had in her employ, for some years, agents in the various continental cities, whose business was to supply her houses with a constant supply of fresh victims. It appears that according to marriage registra tions the chances are three times greater of widovVeTs between the ages of 25 aud 30 getting married than those of bachelors ; five times greater between the ages of 30 and 46 ; and eleven times after the age of 60. Tbe chances, it would appear, of bachelors getting married rap- idly diminish after the age of 3D. Theso im- portant facts are furnished by an American sta- tistician. At Newcastle recently, a numerously attended meeting was held to express sympathy with Prince Azeem-Ja- h in his efforts to obtain the rights of which it is alleged he has been unjustly deprived. His Highness professes tj be the rightful claimant of tbe musmid or tbrouo of the Carnatic, the lato nahob having died in the year 18.-- 5. Recent explorations, prosecuted at bis own expense, by Mr. Sturck, aa English architect and member of tbe Arcbrelogkal commission, have discovered the ancient templo of Bacchus, situated on the southern slope ot the Acropolis, at Athens. Rich sections of pasture land are being dis- covered in Australia. Flocks areraigrating from the Darling and Lachlin northward, and from New South Wales westward. A great company is now forming at Melbourne, with a capital of 5,000,000, to colonize the northern part of tho country. Toword the end of February last, nnounce-me- nt was made at Hong Kong that a Confed- erate privateer had made its appearance iu tho China sea, and was ou the lookout for American ships outward bound. The steamer Euphrosyne was lost off Corro bedo, while on her passage frem Alexandria to Liverpool. The crew were saved.

It was thought notimprobable that Gen. Johnston would tenderthe young Nap.ilt-u- n battle, and think it morethan probable that this is about tbo most favora-

ble opportunity the Confederates will ever haveto engage hiiH. The loss of three thousand, (asadmitted by his at Williamsburg, has doubtless givsn him a very fair foro

alarmed at the position of France. Tbe corres

pondent of the Chicago Tribune soys : " Tho

powtive statements of the Paris journals that theFrench sih! English governments have beenconsidering tbe subject of intervention in American affairs during the past month, has awakenedsome exasjierktion in Congress, coupled as it iswith the dropping of the mask which has heretofore covered the invasion of Mexico. Conquest,and ths establishment of a European monarchy,are now tin- - avowed designs of the French raid

upon Mexico. It would not be wonderful if M.Mercier were furnished ere this with businessmore legitimately pertaining to his legatien thanvisits to the rebel government at Richmond."

AKKtr.f; MifiltOIIS.If tlw civiliand-worl- was justly indignant at

the effort of (J rest Britain to employ the savageand. untutored I idian against us in the Americanrevolution, bat will be their verdict upon reading the following announcement, which we findin the Chicago Tribune of tbe ICtb : " GeneralHunti:r finds k11 the white men in South Caro-

gkirimsh INcnr Bicbtscnd.RlCHJlONI), May 23 There was sharp skir

mishing about seven miles northeast of the citythis afternoon. The particulars are not yet ascertained, except that the enemy attacked andwas repulsed with loss

Tfia prevailing opinion is that a general engagement will soon take place.

I.atci Pnrticular ot the SUiriuipb.Richmond, May 24. In tbe skirmish yester

day afternoon tho Federals had four pieces of artillery and the Confederates cno. The enemythrew a large number of shells without damage,

A regiment of Federal cavalry charged ourbattery, but a few shells thrown into their midstreversed their course and thoy snd their artilleryfled precipitately.

ITSore Skisminhiiis.In tbo skirmish this mor ing, seven miles

north of tbe :ity, tho artillery was principallyengaged. The enemy retreated before the fireof the second company of the Washington Artillery two miles.

The Confederates returnod. and tho Federalsresumed their former position. Occasional firingis still kept up only.

The only casualty on our side yet reported isCapt. Rosser, wounded in tbe arm.

There is heavy cannonading this morning intbo direction of tho skirmish of yesterday. Itcommenced shout d3ybresk and still continuesNo reports received as yet. It is now raininglast.

There was t sharp skirmish this morning neartbe bridge, somo distance from the locality ofthe last skirmish. The 5th Louisiana, on picketduty at that point, was u. tacked by a large forceoi Yankees, and the firing continued severalhours- - About forty Confederates were wounded,

None killed. .VUOJI VICKSBIKO.

Wo have the Citizen of tbe 23d, which con

tains several items of interest concerning tbecondition of affairs in and around that city.Gen. Duncan, lately commander of tho forts bo-

low New Orleans, had arrived end was'gladlywelcomed. Tho defenses were being dailystrengbtened, and the Citizen says : Whateverdoubts wo have had as to tho merits of our defenses here, arc now rapidly disappearing, andwe are assured by the must competent and ex

porienced military judges that our works are ofsuch a character as to bid defiance to tho en-

emy.The Federal fleet continued to occupy its po

sition, out of reach of the batteries. Sseveral

shots had bton fired by the gunboats at our menon tbe shore between the lower batteries andWarrenton, but no oue has been hurt by them.

An immense amount of sickness is reported

amoDir tbe Federil troops on tbo transports. Itappears that they have run short of medicinesacd a party of them made a visit to a drag store

in Warrenton aud sacked it of all its contents,

One boat is said to be filled entirely with theirsick

The general impression ivas that ths enemyhad landed tho troops from their transports &t somepoint below the city, and tho hope Is expressedthat it may be true They can then be metwithout the protection of their gunboats- - Messrs.Walker and Uardine, of Warrenton, had beenarrested and carried to tbe fleet, and the farms ofJei-f- . Davis and Jon. Davis destroyed by theinvaders. The Citizen relates tbe particulars ofanother outrage, as follows :

A parly of thieves from the Yank?2 fiet taq.te.rday ma3e a visit to the plantation of Messrs.Brown St Johnston, en the Louisiana shore,committing all manner of depredations, kill-n-

hogs and cuttle, and destroying whatever cameiu their way, and finally approached the dwell-ings of Mr. Geo. W. Johnston, with tho intention ot plundering it ot whatever valuables theymight find. Mr. Johnston confronted them andwarned them off telling them that they hadkilled his cattle and hots, and destroved tiicproperty ; but that they must not enter his house;that he sbould defend it at all hazards. Theypaid no heed to his remonstranco, and in endeav-oring to force thir wav into tho hnn. b;i!,ioue of the party, when they fired upon him kill-ing him instantly. They then took the body oftheir dead companion, and also Mr. Martin theoverseer, and Mr. John Perrani, another man onthe place, put them in irons and carried them totho tieet. These two men upon being broughtbefore the commandiog officer and stating thecase, wero released and sent hornn, tbe officersaying they wero not to blame for defendingtheir homes.

E"Gen. Wool sent a flag of truce into Nor-folk, after its evacuation, informing tho citizensthat they would bo allowed forty-eig- hours totako tho oath of allegiance to tho Lincoln gov-ernment. In the event of refusal, they werscoolly informed that they would bo treated asprisoners of war

Wheat. The Savannah Republican of tho17th inst., says that its exchanges from everypart of tbe State represent tbo wheat crop asgreatly improving and promising a good yield,in spito of the unfavorable appcaranco some fewweeks back.

EP"A patriotic citizen of Vicksburg has or-

dered five hundred copies of Butler's infamousproclamation concerning the ladies of New Or-

leans, to be printed in handbills aud circulatedamong the troops.

FIMMl NEW OKI.EAIVH.Wo have received the New Orleans True Delta

of tht 20th, whii-- is our latest exchango datofrom that city t contains hut little of interest,as, of couij; u.ider the censorship set up overthe journals of tlm; city everything is made tosquare with tlm iiotions oi the invaders.

Batler's money proclamation is the only olderpublished. This document prohibits the' incorporated banks, bivir.gs' huiks, and privatebankers, from paying out Confederate notes totheir depisitors and creditors. The first namedinstitutions ore directed to p'iy out only the billsof the bank, United S'ates treasury notes.gold, or silver; tho Savings' hanks only goldsilver, or United States tp-m- iry uote3, currentbills of city bauks, or their own bills, to anamount not exceeding one thiid ot their deposits, and of denomination not less than one dollar, which they are authorized to issue, and forthe redemption of which their assets shallheld liable, and the private bankers only thcurrent bills of city banks, or United Statestreasury notes, gold, or silver. Tbe incorporatedbanks are authorized to issuo bills of a less de-

nomination than five dollars, hut not less thanoue dollar, anything in their charters to the con-

tra y notwithstanding, and are authorized to receive Confederate notes for any of their bills tilltbe 27th day of May instant.

Parties who have small notes in circulationare required to redeem them, either in gold, silver. United States treasury notes, or curcnt billsof city banks, under penalty of confiscation oftheir property and sale thereof for the purposeof redemption of tho notes so Issued, or imprisonment for a term of hard labor.

We tako tho following items from the localcolumn of the True Delta :

For Red River. Judging lrom the quantity of baggage wo saw on board the steamboatiloro, bound tor Ked river, we should concludethat there were a number fleeing from this fam

city to where provisions ore moreplentiful. Fearing that tbe means of subsistencewill not come to the city, they profer going tothem. Tho Moro will be unable to accommodate all who nro anxious to leave tho city forany place but this, lap only consolation wecan draw trom tci3 is. that it reduces the number of months to feed.

The Provision Question. We wsroled tohope that the arrangements made by tho subsistence committee would relievo public nnxtety inreference to the scarcity of provisions, but a vis-

it toPoydras market yesterday morning causedus to tear that cur hopes were not to be realizedThere was a very ereat scorcitv of meat, whichenabled those who had what littlo there was toexact an extravagantly high prica for it. Andwe heard some complaint about a scarcity ofbread. But had there been an abundance cfboth meat and bread, many would have bad toreturn home with empty baskets, owing to thelack ot current funds. The prospect tor tho ta. , ,ture ss mueea gloomy.

SOBTHERS ITEJIS.The northern papers announce that General

Mitchell's command had joined that of GeneralPopo, and on tho 14th formed the extromo loft oftho Federal army fronting Corinth.

As the Federal steamer Gladiator, with thoFourth Minnesota regiment on board, was passing Paris landing, Tennessco river, en route forPittsburg, her upper works gave way, killingfive or six and injuring several others.

It was stated that Lincoln had withdrawn thename of Lathrop, who had been nominatedto tho Senate as colloctor of tho port of Now Or-

leavs.Intelligence was received at New York on tho

14th that tho steamer Nasbvillp had succeededin getting into Charleston.

Major Coffey, of tho Foderal army, who wasreleased on parolo by Col. Morgan, has gone toWashington to endeavor to effect an exchangeof himself for Lieut .Wood, of Morgan's hand,

launton and iNew liedtjru (Mass.; paperschronicle an immense catch of herrings this year60.000 at ono time, 20,000 at a'nother. So plentyare they that farmers use them for manuro.

Tho Hon. Jesse D. Bright arrived in Louisville on the 11th.

Tho official returns of tho recent election intbe State of Connecticut give Gov. Buckingham39,782 votes a majority of 9134.

Kossuth has just lost his second daughter,aged lByears

RESULT OF EMANCIPATION.The fruits of the passage of the law emanci

pating slaves in tbe District of Columbia, arebeginning to be developed at the Federal capital. Wo see it stated by the correspondent ofthe St. Louis Republican, th&l since tho measurewent into operation, Washington has become acity of refuge for thousands of fleeing contrabands from tbe adjacent counties of Virginiaand Maryland. They dally pour in by bundreds, and are taken in charge, protected, andfed by the government. The fugiiive slave lawis practically nullified, and the master, in searchoi his runaway property, has no resource whatever, and, indeed, he isSucky if he escapes mobviolence and imprisonment. The military andcivil authorities wink at this stato of affairs, andby every action show thoy aro for the negro, andagainst tho master. Men are now imprisonedfor daring to attempt the arrest of their ownslaves on the streets of Washington. BeingUnion men does not protect them, unless tbeyare abolitionists.

In en interview with a committee of tho

Virginia Legislature, on tbo lath inst., PresidentDavis stated that ho had never entertained athought of withdrawing the army from Virginiaand abandoning tbe State : that if, in the course

of events, tho capital should fall, the necessity

of which ho did not sea or anticipate, that would

bo no reason for withdrawing tho army from Vir-

ginia. The war could still be successfully main

tained on Virginia soil for twenty years- -

LETTER FROM CORINTH.Special Correspondence of the Memphis Appeal

Corinth, Saturday, May 24, 18G2.An almost continuous rain has fallen the last

twontj four hours, not heavy, but still in suchquantities as seriousiy to impede Jocomotion.Ths loads iu the country must be so saturated aseasily to be cut up by artillery, if not by trans-portation wagons, so that in any case there canscarcely he any geueral movement on tbe part ofthu enemy for sometime to come. For us theruin has been opportuno, as tho accidental show-ers which had previously fallen had scarcelysufficed to keep the creeks and branches suffi-

ciently snpplud for our horses Now we havean abundance. Iii many places, indeed, as Irode through the camps this morning, I found thebanks full and overflowing.

With the return of rain and the opening ofwells throughout tho encampment, has also re-

turned tho health of the army. It was probablynever in better vigor or spirits Tho responseof tbe people, also, to Gen. Beauregard's requesthas supplied us abundantly, though I am sorryto say at high prices, with vegetables. This islikewise having a happy and healthy effect uponthe men. The army is, in fact. In as good con-

dition every way as it possibly can be, savingonly its inactiyity, from which the late advancemovement upon the enemy's lines has been agreat Tclief.

Of the enemy wo bear but little, except thatthey continue their reconnoissances and pursuitafter knowledge as near as possible in front, butfor tbe most part under difficulties. Yesterdayfourteen of them were caught with cow-bell- s

round their necks, apparently turned, likeNebuchadnezza, out to " grass.'' Tbey wouldseem, indeed, to haye played their new charac-ter for sometime, and with considerable success,for it is said that these same cow-bell- s have beenheard successive nights and at several places onour right, where they were at last caugbt. Yan-

kees in t o character of cows is not bad, but itwas hardly necessary for them to pnt on bolls.

We also caught, night before last, an oldschool Presbyterian doctor of divinity, from Ill-

inois- His name is Warren, and at the mo-

ment of his capture ho was riding alone througha leafy wood meditating how best he would takea covey of partridges. " If I only had a net tospring upon them," tnought the Rev. Dr. tohimself, " they would bo my cantives." Atthat moment a Confederate soldier rode up andho was a captive himself.

Moral. Doctors of divinity had better bepreaching the gospel at home than springingpartridges in advance of an army of invasion.

The winter before the war broke out, Dr.Warren was in New Orleans, and for a timo aguest of the Rev. Dr. Palmer, of the samechurch. At that time he seemed to entertainvery different sentiments from those he is nowfighting for. At all events be expressed himselfas decidedly opposed to coercion.

" I am surprised, therefore," said Dr. Palmer," to find you in tho Federal enny."

"I am not surprised to find you in tho Con fed

erato army," was tho cool and ready reply.I understand that the Rev. partridge hunter is

to be exchanged for the Rev. Dr. Witherspoon,captured some timo since while in attendanceupon tho sick and wounded, and, as a non-co-

batant, unjustly held. It Is to hoped, howovcr,that Dr. Palmer will give his old acquaintancea good "pray" before ho loaves, adding thoappropriate adago, that, if Inclined to huntpartridges, he should hunt them in his ownland. H. P.

A CANARD FBO.71 MEMPHIS.The Cairo correspondent of the Chicago Times

recently met the "reliable gentleman," directfrom Memphis, from whom, of course much intelligence suitable for northern circulation wasobtained. Our readers will laugh at the men-

dacious misrepresentations which aro imposedupon our Chicago cotemporary and his readers.We extract tho following from the correspondent's

letter:At Memphis there was much boldnoss mani

fested in the exuression of Union sentiment, inview of the probable occupancy of the town bynorthern forces.

Mr. J. handed me a copy of a call for a meeting in Memphis as follows :

" Stars and stripes, attention" At tho appointed hour let every loyalist bo

touna at the 11 all ot Independence." Our deliverance is at hand." Let us prepare to welcome It." By order of the President"This was posted throughout the city. Another

read as follows:" Watchmen, know your beats ! Sentinels,

stand ready for duty !

" Guard woll the entranco to Loyalty Hall to-

night, and let no traitorous bands surprise theassembly of the lovers of freedom and consti-tutional government. Let every loyalist bepromptly in attendance at tuts meeting, as business ot great importance (in anticipation ot thearrival of our friends) will be transacted.

By order of the executive committee."Others of a similar nature were consnlcuouslv

posted.All news from down tho river was carefully

suppressed, hence my informant has nothinglater of the operations of Com. Farragut's fleetthan has been published.

The Guubont Engugenieut Above FortJPUIoir.

The Chicago Tribune, of the 16th inst., alluding to the gunboat battle of the 10th inst.,above Fort Pillow, is forced to pay the followingjust compliment to tbo efficiency of our fleet, theefficiency aud gallantry of its men :

We refer to tbe account for the further details, from which it will appear that the Cincinnati was stove in twice by the rebel rams, andbarelv escaped slnkln? id middle channel withall on board. The participation of her consortsin the fight was gallant and effective, and theenemy withdrew. We shall need to have moreproof than we now possess, to confirm the talesof some of tho correspondents as to the extentof the enemy's disasters, or that they will notagain give name, xms anair must stand in tbewholesome if unpleasant list of surprises in thiswar, the list which cost us tho lives of manybrave men at Hamilton Roads, and at Pittsburg. .T I - a, i r i - i pjxu ui mem grew ou( 01 lue lolly otunuervaiuing me enemy, r ort ntiow, we weretea to believe, was ours tor the asking, a ripeappie reauy to urop into our mouths, when snd-denly out from under its euns, steams a nower.ful fleet of mail-cla- d vessels, of whose existeneAand certainty of wdoso power our fleet seems tohave been inadequately aware. It makes nnattack gallantly and persistently fought, andresisted, leaving the result s drawn battle. Wedo not write tbis to pa3s censure uoon anv of. i i f n .... . - . .no uruve men oi our noiuia, who certainlv redeemed the fault, if any there was, hut the lessonis one that should be remembered.

Whnt the Vanderbill Warn to Do.The significant movements of onr fleet In

Hampton Roads on Thursday, together wit1!what has been published heretofore, says theWorld, remove entirely the necessity for conceal-ing the fact that it was designed that the steam-er Vanderbilt should run down tbe Merrimac, incase tbe latter could be disposed of in no otherway Tho following calculation will show withwhat f rce the former would strike tho Merrimacif moving at her usual speed : The dead weightof tho Vanderbilt is, in round numbers, fourthousand tuns, and her averago speed is at leastfifteen milc3 an hour. That is equal to 60,000tuns moving at tho rate of one mile an hour,which, in turn, is equivalent to three hundredtuns moving at tho rate of two hundred miles anhour. The velocity of a cannon ball may borated at the rate of two hundred miles an hour.The Armstrong gun, ono of tho heaviest in use,carries a 100-pou- ball. In other words, thoVanderbilt would strike the Merrimac with aforce of six thousand d balls from anArmstrong gun, at tho same instant and in thosame spot .' A further calculation shows thatthe momentum ot tne vauuerout wouia no equalto 1,200 balls from the Union gun on the RipRaps, each one of which weighs about fivehundred pounds.

An Abolition View of Foreign Interven-tion.

From tho Chicago Tribune of the 16th

Tbo foreign news once more begins to teemwith rumors of contemplated intervention in ournational affairs by France and England. Thereports, as yet, are scarcely authentic, or derivedfrom official sources, hut they are sufficientlysignificant in character, and borrow enoughweight, from the present posture of our affairs,to awaken increased vigilance in our govern-ment. If these two nations would willinglynote tbe decadence of power in tbo United States,both from hostility to our form cf governmentand through jealousy at its supremacy on thiscontinent, nothing would be moro likely thanthat thoir movement towards intervention wouldbe inversely with tbe prospects of success tothe rebellion. If the lupttiro bo perfected onthis side of tbo Atlantic, and, without interfer-ence from abrod, the rebels maintain themselveswith sufficient results attained to characterizetheir attempt as a successful revolution, tbe twopowers would prefer to keep their oands oti andremain at a distance until such time as therecognition of tho now government would seemInevitable With this view it would bf naturalto expect that when tho rebel causo apparentlyflourished, theso nations would aid it secretly,if at all, holding uloof from overt acts, willingthat the coveted end bo placed freely in theirhands.

This on tho assumption that nothing wouldbetter please England and France than thehopeless disruption of the American Union.And when that prospect is diminished in tholight of Federal victorias, and gathers darknessfrom events made up of Federal advances audrebel evacuations, uothing would be mor natu-ral than that tbe scheme oi interventirf?houldbe revived with new force. There have beenfresh reasons devolved from this war why Euro-pean despotisms should dread a recuperation ofour national unity aud power. If they hated usbefore, as tbo exponents beloru the world of agovernment by the people, that dislike is intensi-fied by tho proofs that we aro able to defendthoso principles against all tho old despotisms.Before this new age ot ours, wo were at peace,and won onr protuiueuce by the arts of peace,and this, while European nations were vain-glorious in arms and iu war preparations. Theirfleets and armies stood numerically as a reproachto our own.

A nation of ahopkeepeTs or agriculturists,skilled in clipper ships, and cunning in inven-tion- s

and money-makin- the reputation we thuswon was illustrious, but scarcely so g

as that now freshly derived from the devel-opments of the war for tho Union. Tho Federalarmies are immense, and that without asi-jgl-

conscript. Our victories wero won by troopsfresh from tho loom and tbe plough. Americaninvention, under the spur ot this struggle, hasturned a new page in naval history, closing thelist, and ruling out of naval encounters theirown boasted war fleets. AU these man be deemedfresh reasons uhti intervention should not be postponed until no pretext can bo made for its exer-cise, and until it will be too late to aid the rebels.

These foreign nations are too sagacious not tosee that we shall come out of this struggle allthe more powtrtnl from the very instrumentali-ties created and musctilarized to crush the re-

bellion. Wo shall have learned war, and theability will be ours as never before to dictate apolicy tor this conti:.cnt against all comers.Louis Napoleon is aware ot this, Palmerstonknows it aud the coming few weeks will, fromthe causes named, thoroughly test their real feel-ing toward tbe United States. Government andpeople ou tbis side the Atlantic, we are alike pre-pared for what events the future may have instore, and if the struggle for onr national ex-istence involve a foreign war, our levies oftroops and our war preparations have onlybegun.

Tbe Traitor Convention it! Nnahrillc n" I'iazle."The Argus of yesterday evening alluding to

this infamous assemblage says :

A gentleman who was in Nashville when thistraitorous cabal convened (h.iviiitr arrived tbeion his way to this city from a northern militaryprison) and listened to tho treasonable harangues,informs us that so fir from any exhibition of tho" wild enthusiasm " aud hearty cheering so the--attically displayed in tuo report ot Andy Johnson's ortran, and tho "hnmeiibo crowd" so exnltinflv alluded to. tho moetiuEr was rather sliinlvattended, few being present save tbe creatures oftho new "government, and the rederal soldiery

Not a word ot approval, nor a cheer, issuedfrom the lips of a rennessecau, tither tfmu tboof tbo renegades whose names appear in theproceedings, the tew respectable citizens whoa tended wero passive aud indignant spectators,while the only cheers greeting the speakerscame from brtital, uniformed apologies forsoldiers, drawn from the lager-beo- r saloons andgutters of St. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee.At intervals they shouted, and declared thatTennessee should return to the " Union," hutthe people found nothing in the harangues toawaken a responsive chord in tiieir breasts. Itwas a puerile, puny effort to do something,which utterly failed, and left exposed tho .carcass of Unionism iu Tennessee more rotten andloathsome thau beforo.

Personal. I havo been informed by telograph, as tho Leader goes to press, that it is theintention of Secretary Stanton to prevent thotransit ot this paper through tbe mails Secretary Stanton holds that unfavorable ciiticismupon his conduct of the War Department is calculated to weaken tbe administration aud exerciso an insubordinate influence in tbe army.

FOREIGN I!II80EI,I,AIVV.The Japanese ambassadors were much de-

lighted with tho Empress of the French, andwith the grandeur of things in general at Paris.They invited several French noblemen to din-ner at their hotel. Among the dishes served atthe table was an uncooked fish euf into pieces,and with it was eaten boiled nee, which theyconveyed very adroitly to their mouths by meansof chopsticks. They also partook of a numberof other dishes, and took their wine with greatgusto. During tho whole of the repast theydrank quantities of warm w ater. for the purposo,it is said, of assisting digestion At the deserttho chief ambassador proposed tbe health of theEmperor, which was replied to by one to tbeEmperor of Japan. Atttr dinner tbe guestswere presented with fans and beautiful littleJapanese pipes. The entertainment was keptup to a late nour in tue evening, aud during thewholo timo the members of the embassy con-tinued smoking and drinking liquors of differ-ent kinds. In pluco ot pocket handkerchiefsthey used large square pieces of paper, whichthey then put away into another pocket, without doubt to get rid of them at their leisure.

A Paris letter in tho Nord of Brussels, inspeaking of the reported preguancy of theCountess de Chanibord, says : " There is onlyone objection to tills. The Princess Maria The-resa, Archduchess of Austria-Este-, and eldestdaughter of the late Francis IV, Duke of Modena, was born on the 14th of July, 1817. Sheis, therefore, now forty. five years of age, aud hasbeen married to the Count de Cbambord since1848. These dates give us a right to doubt theveracity ot this statement."

Mrs. Gallagher, well know., in English citiesas a procuress and general dealer in houses ofill tame, was sentenced ny tne tiecoraer ot Liv-erpool to twelve months imprisonment with hardlabor, for keeping infamous houses in that city.Mrs. Gallagher has had in her employ, for someyears, agents in the various continental cities,whose business was to supply her houses with aconstant supply of fresh victims.

It appears that according to marriage registrations the chances are three times greater ofwidovVeTs between the ages of 25 aud 30 gettingmarried than those of bachelors ; five timesgreater between the ages of 30 and 46 ; andeleven times after the age of 60. Tbe chances, itwould appear, of bachelors getting married rap-idly diminish after the age of 3D. Theso im-

portant facts are furnished by an American sta-tistician.
