Does the ''World'' et-
as to approve or be silent ipor. the
executive suspension of the Ha'tcii
j—the arbitrary incarceration'of in-
Bocent loyal men—aud the refusal to them
of bail or ot a Hearing even—or, of the
arbitrary exclusion of the ^presses from

itors—or the severe censorship >f the
,11 without law, and in those por-
of the country so lojal, so true to
the Union that they have furnished the
Federal government with regiment after
regiment of volunteers—those portions of
tfce country too where loyal judges sit up-
on the bench, and where loyal jurors
abound to root out treason, or rebellion if
they dared show themselves ? We f'tl and
we must say and resay-—as a moral and a
bracon, to warn—that in the pursuit of a
phantom of Liberty for 4,000,000 of happy
and contented negroes, we SO,000,000 of
white people have given up the most preci-
ous safeguards of Liberty,and the Host, pre-
cious protections of the Constitution. The
lesson is as faithful to us as-the fanciful
Girondis',pursuit ofjLiberty in .the French
revolution when Madam Roland cried out
before t he Guillotine,
"Oh Liberty! how many crimes ars commuted In
thy cameV
But for the sake of the Union we would
forget and forgive even all this if these
things now were not in danger of being es-
tablished as Pbscbmsis or Pkihciplss
for usurpers hereafter : or in submitting
to them in silence we did not thus confess
that Cossiiiutiosai. Libektt, the pioud
Palladium of our Great Republic, was but
a mockery, a pretence, and that even we
Americans were just as fit people for sub-
jeets as Italians or Anstrians. A nation
that goffers in silence these shscks of Con-
stitutional Liberty becomes a fit nation for
any clever despotism. It wasRome's sub.
mission to Julius -Csesar that paved the
way for Augustus Caesar the Imperator
Emperor. It was Cromwell's despotism
thjtt restored Charles the 2d and his pro-
fligacy. It was French submission to the
Jacobin* that made imperative the Napo-
leonic Era. A nation that submits with-
out sensation to the first rude touch of
lawless government, soon becomes a na-
tion of slaves.
We cannot blink our eyes to the fact—if
we would—or cheat the peopleof the South
—if we could, into the belief that Congress
is not full of abotitiorJsts, who mean a
^reat deal more than all this, [the restora-
tion of the constitution and laws] but we
oin convince the South—we must convince
it—that if they -will come back to us, Con-
gress is ours. * « « *
The Express reiterates that in the pur-
suit of a phantom for 4,000,000 darkeys,
30,000,000 of ns white people, North and
South, have put our necks into nooses and
become quasi slaves.

Prcm Philade'phit Inquirer, J8tb.
Notwithstanding the advance qf the ar-
m" of the United States, the heresy of se-
cession still holds sway in the Rational
Capital and in Georgetown and Alexan-
dria. Of course the circles of the rebels
are select, bat ihe most perfect system ex-
ists of communicating with each other a
mutual support of their treason. As an
instance of the credulous weakness of
these people, who persistently refuse to
believe she official reports of our brave
Generals, bat cling to the exploded false-
hoods of Beauregard and Davis, we append
a copy of a written hand bill posted- on a
score of street corners in Alexandria du-
ring the last night, and of course pulled
nt i down by loyal hands this morning:
|ci >Orand Confederate Victory at Corinth—The
Yankee Devils oitce more Defeated—Gen.
Prentiss and Brigade Captured—Noble
Beauregard, God bless him, still uninjured.
Cheer up friends of the noble cause, and
return tbanks to Almighty God for our vic-
tory over the base hordes of Yankee inva-
ders, and never, never despair.
A SECES
From the Rochester Union.
Capt. Peterson was in Basil's Division,
which arrived at the field of battle on Sun-
- -tylr&ight, having marched 24 miles that
' d y to get there. The efforts made by the
officers and men to form a juAetion with
Grant were herculean. The officers even
took hold of the traces and helpei the
jaded horses pull -the cannon along the
road. Buell and his men arrived in the
niok of time. They found Grant's army
entirely demoralized, and wholly incapa-
ble of resistance'^ the enemy.
The men who fought so gallantly atFort
Do nelson were new cowed, and partook of
the panic with which the new regiments
had been seized. Gen. Buell threatened
to shell Grant's men if they did not leave
die rives side, where they had hudfled to-
gether 4nd come up to their work. They
s(swer d that he might shell them, for
tbiey haw as lief die in one place as another.
'■On Mbnday BueU commenced the work
in teamtst, and was victorious. "His army
rec^|^;d all the guns and camp equipage
lost on Sunday, and took many guns Irom
the enemy. [What a lie f}
There were three regiments of regular
infantry in Buell's army, and they fotight
manfully. Capt. Pettison went into battle
with 36 men of his company "and 15 were
killed. Two of the regular officers were
killed, and a number-wounded. Beside
the tents where amputation was performed,
large piles of human limbs could be seen,
a frightful sight to look apon.
Pbass its, Txsx., April 8.
The Chi on. sentiment is stronger than in
the more Southern part of the State. It is
in the agricultural regions, where slaves
are largely employed in tilling the soil that
secession fan is now the strongest. Gov.
Johnson is industriously bringing his State-
back into the Federal Union.
If, the Federal letter writers are to be
believed, the amount of Union sentiment
in that part of Tennessee now in their
possession, is not enough to encourage the
hope of soon getting the State back into
the Federal Union.
From the North Carolina correspondent
of the Newburyport Herald, we take the
following, dated Newborn, April 9th:
• * * Those troops who have had to
eadnre the fatigue aod exposure of the
Bornsido expedition, are just now begin-
in g to feel i.s effects. Fevers are taking
hold of them, and some /egiments hava

hospitals in the city are all crowded, and

The notorious rebel steamer Nashville,
appears to run to and out at Cfarleston
at will. By th- nrri^il at this port this
morning of the Brisi^h brig Atlantic, of
NassHii, which place she iett ou tbe 11th
inst.. we learn thai the Nsshville arrived
there on the 1st im-t front Charleston.
She was evide:i.'h-tipeoteo, and found a
British steamship, the " Southward" with
a full cargo of arms swatting her arrival.
The Southward had been in pott hi.; afew
days. The Nashville immediately took
out British papers, hoisted British . colors
aod changed her uame io the Thos S.
Wragg. She sailedagain on the 8th inst.,
it is presumed lor Charleston with a full
cargo of arms, brought by the Southward.
Tbs Nashville is uot alone in the game
of running the blockide off Cbarloton.
Thesteimer Economist from Charleston
with 1100 bales of cotton, arrived at Nas-
sau on the 6th, and reported no difficulty
whatever in making her egress.
From the Washington correspondence of
the Express, April 17tb, we take the fol-
lowing:
"If it were done, when'tis done, then
'twere well were it done quickly," doubt-
less thought our President when his eyes
beheld the District emancipation bill, and
acting npou that sentiment, though with
less hesitfincy than tze guilty Thane, who
utiered it, has signed the bill, aod in thus
giving token of his approval, he fully re-
pudiites tbe sentiments which he has here-
tofore entertained, and which are now ori
tecotd, showing the direct opposite of bis
present policy. * * * * *
The passage of this bill virtually ex-
tends all its provisions to the tier of South-
ern counties in Maryland, which enoircles
this district, and where the great mass
of slaves of that State reside. Their fa-
iclitiee for reaching the District are so
ample, that the late shield of protection
to their owners is tlrow^ down. Fur-
thermore its passage, so far as this locali-
ty is oonjerned, virtually repeals the fu-
gitive slave law. No claimant ef a'slave,
fleeing to this refuge of ""contrabands,"
can reclaim his property under its provis-
ions, nor could he ever in the present feel-
ing of the itinerant population secure the
aid of the government authorises to exe-
cute the law.
Fkom North Caeolina.—We give the
following extract from a letter from the
Federal army in North Carolina as a sam-
ple of respect paid to private property by
the Federals:
Col. Egloffsiein, has advanced thirty
miles into the interior. He writes to Gen.
Burnside. informing him thai he has dis-
pensed with the services of his Quarter-
master altogether, and that his forces are
living like pigs in clover on rebel products,
without costing Uncle Sam 4 cent. He
says the troops like the cbacge very
much from salt pork and beef, to poultry,
eggs, fish, meats of all kinds, vegetables,
etc.
All of which means that they help
themselves to whatever they want, without
money or price.
Pabsos Bkownlow.—The following is
an extract from a characteristic speeoh
that was delivered by the notorious
Brownlow at Harrisburg.

tin introduced me as Parson Brownlow, he

In Tennessee, tha^k God. we have merged ali
party questions into one, and that is one ot the
Union ; and in all lime to come, although I have
been a whig, I will not vote for a nun, 1 care not
what be his politics, who is not a Uoion man. I
will see all such mm. when gravitation tnrna tbe
otter way, even hellward buore I would vote for
them. I have fought Andrew Johnson, of Tennes-
see, systematically, persevering'^, for the last
twenty-five years. He has scored me on every
stamp in Tennessee. Honors are now eny. I have
now joined hands with him and will fight for nim
against the common foe. I have always been a
Uoion man. I commenced my politieal cxreer in
1S33, and I remark* ladies, that I am not a yonng

Then it was iDat the rebel soldiers, made ma t br
bad whiskey, visited the houses of Union men in
Knoxville and robbed tbem of everjtbing, in-
salted and abused the inmates; and my humble
dwelling was honored, if honor it be, b* these sol-
4iers. At the lame time I was reading in my ex-
-haages from Mobile and Charleston that they had
been compelled to send the fiower of the Snath to
defend the border States. I said to my wife, If
these soldiers be,the flower of the South God de-

man named Douglas raised a pole aod run up the
State and Stripea ia front of h i dwelling, snd he

and on remonstrating wiUi them a pr t osition was
made to shoot me down. The wor of murder and
slaughter went oa, and tbey became so overbear-
ing that a number of as had to flee to the moun-
tains. I cannot boast of my eourage, bat I believe
I was never accused of personal cowardice. They

After burying our dead we left for Santa Fe and
Fort Union. I will here remark that in getting
a*ound and above Fort Craig we had been compelled
to burn all our tents and many of our blankets and
clothing, acdon account of the extreme severity of
the winter we suffered much from exposure. After
long delays, on account, of the condition of our
mnles and horses, we reached Albuquerque March
7th. Here we laid over in the mountains until the
20th, when companies A, B, C. &. D, Capts. Shrop-
shire's, Lang's, Shannon's and Ragsdale's, of the 2nd
Regiment, were ordered to Santa Fe, the 1st and
5th companies of the 3d Regiment in the meantime
having left taking a circuitous route around Santa
Fe for Fort Union. We reached Santa Fe on 23d,
and on the 25th had order* for Fort Union with our
artillery company of Baylor's command consisting
of a battery of four 6ib guns. On the 26th about
20 miles above Santa Fe, while in a deep and narrow
canon, thickly studded with large pine trees and
under bruHh, and after we had struck camp, the
enemy, abent 900 strong, suddenly appeared and
opened on our little force, about 200 men, a tremen-
dous volley of musketry, supported bv two com-
panies of well mounted cavalry. We were taken
completely by surprise, having out no picket.-,
through the inadvertency of Pyrom, of Baylor's
command. Our boys fought gallantly under the
circumstances, but were driven back by the superior
force of the enemy, mostly Pike's Peak J ay hawk-
ere, they taking about 70 of our force prisoners. 19
of whom were from Capt. shannon's company.
Had the enemy pursued us we should have fallen into
their hands, artillery, camp equippage and all; but
for some unexplained cause, they did not, but fell
back about 1 mile and a quarter and camped. "We
lost two killed, one mortally wounded and several
severely. The enemy lost fourteen killed >nd
many wgtanded.
An express was immediately dispatched to Lieut.
CoL Scurry, who was about 18 miles bjlow. He
with his regiment and pari of the 3d arrived just
before aayligbt of the morning of the 27th. About
7 a. M., of the 28th the whole command took up
the line of march, in pursuit of the enemy. At
about 9 a. M. we very unexpectedly came upGn the
advance of their forces, who was on thtir wtty to
attack us and who immediately fell back into posi-
tion, when the fire opened with cannon and small
arms. The cool and determined bravery of our
men, soon forced them from their position who fled
in great confusion, an^with immense slaughter,
our men in the meanwlme being scattered to their *
right and left, each one going it on his own hook,
and giving them particular jesaie from behind
every, tree and rock behind which they had taken
position.
The vneay fell back about \ mile—planted their
canuon ana again opened upon up. Within flfte n
minutes tbey were driven back—tbe ground being
dteraliy strewn with thefr d«ad and oylng Up to
this time we had loat but very tew it any. Tuey agalu
cu.kcted at Ptgeou'.-vranco, about miles from iheir

In my home of Knoxville ^ooie weeks
ago, an election was otdered for Mayor
and Aldermen. Tbe secessionists ^ave
out that ihe Union candidates were aboli-
tionists.and Lincoloites, and proclaimed
their candidates advocates of Slate Rights
and the Southern CooietJeracy. In evfry
ward in Knoxville we beal^them two to
one, and elected Lincoln, the Chicago
platform, or whatever else they choose to
call it."
What an outrageous lie! Is it possible
the Northern people can believe it ?

the pieces captured at the battle of Valverde. It
is called the "Valverde Battery/* The uppoint-

tinguished gallantry of that young, but brave and
active officer, displayed at Valverde, and also on
other occasions. The battery is one of the finest
in the service. Tours, very truly,

Col. W. R. Scurry, the hero of Glorietta, aud in
fact one of the bravest and moat popular Texian
ofttceM in the service, has arrived in thia city, io
tino heabtfi exhibiting no personal indications
of the hard service he has undergone. The Colonel
brings the gratifjing news.that Gen. Siblsy's qom-
maud is safe io Ariaona, with plenty of provis-
ion*, and no enemy capable of moisting them
H? fell back. no. from fear of the edSur, but for
lack of provisions. Our army in three heavy
skirmishes, and two pitched battles has been ev
erywbere victorious against regular troops of
saaily superior cumber*. The reported reiniorce-
msnts of the enemy turn rut to be a mistake. The
enemy neither baa nor is likely to have a force suf-
ficient to expel our troops from Arizona.

The Jocrkey op Life.—Tbe following
excellent rules, from the papers of Doctor
West are thrown together as general way-
marks in the journej of life: Never ridi-
cu e sacred thing*, or what others may
esteem as such, however absurd tbey ap-
pear to you. Never resent a supposed in-
jury till you know the views and motives
of the anther of it. On no occasion relate
it. Always take the part of an absent per-
son wbo is censured in company, as far as
truth and propriety will allow. Never
thitfk worse 01 another cn account of his
differing io political and rabgioua subjects.
Never dispute with * man who is more than
seventy years of age, nor with any enthu-
siast L>o not jest so <*s ?o woul J tj;e feci- j
ingsof another. Say &a lit tie as poasiMe
of yourself and of ihose who ar*i near to
you. Never oourt the favor of the nch, by ;
flattering e>ther their vuuities or their
vices.
RICHMOXD STItL SAFE.
Etc., Etc.. Etc-
By the arrival of the Beaumont train last
(Friday) night at 11 o'clock, our special ex-
pressman, Capt. Turley, brings us a large
lot of papers, including Richmond dates of
6th, North Carolina 8th, Columbia 9th, Au-
gusta 9th, Atlanta 11th, Mobile 34th, Jack-
son 15th, Memphis I8th, and New Orleans
24th and 25th. For these we are indebted
to Col. A. M. Gentry, who arrived by the
train, Maj. Howard and Jethro McKee,
Esq. To Mr. McKee we are also indebted
fbr the following intelligence :
Beb.wicks Bat, May 26th.—Capt. Ful-
ler and 30 men proceeded down Atohafa-
laya Bay to-day, on a small gunboat and
passed Brashear City. They then went up
Bayou Blotteff to the Railroad bridge.
From thence they took hand-cars and run
back to Brashear City. Here they took
possession of locomotive and cars, and
took Lieutenant Cox of the Federal army
prisoner.
They then had the locomotive fired up
and with the train went up the road to
meet the down train. This they met at
the regular point of passing, and took
possession of it, taking the Lieutenant
and two private soldiers in charge, pris-
oners. They then went down within nine
miles of Algiers and took up the railroad
track, and cut the levee at Bell's or near
there. #
After this they proceeded back to Bra-
shear, burning all the bridges, and taking
with them all the cars.
The running stock takeu consisted of
three locomotives, three passenger cars,
30 box car?, 32 flat cars, and 28 stock
cars.
The party then took their boat with the
prisoners and went up tbe bayou to New
Iberia.
Telegraphic dispatches from Richmond,
May 20, were received by Maj. Howard.
Our people were in good spirits.
Dispatches from Corinth dated May 20th,
10 p. m., give account of heavy skirmish-
ing that day on both wings. They were
moving all the surplus baggage back into
Alabama, making ready for a fight. The
oppearing armies were near each other,
and had about equal numbers. Our men
felt certain of success.
Fort Pillow had not fallen ^and the Fed-
eral gunboats had gone back up the riv?r
after their long bombardment of the fort.
May 21., Nine gunboats and transports
passed the mouth of Red River to day for
Vicksburg. The federal steamer Bee went
up Red River, she had on board 50 to SO
Federal soldiers. They captured the stea-
mer Morning Light at Trumble Island.
May 21. Nine gunboats have arrived
at Washington, 9 miles below Vicksburg.
We take the following dispatches etc.
from the papers received.
Special to tfce Memphis Appeal.
Corinth, May 17,—There was slight
skirmishing on the Monterey road this
morning.
The Confederates advanced and the Fed-
erals retired.
The enemy is in position near all our
lines, and an engegement is poss ble at
any moment. Notuing i3, however cer-
tain. H. P.
Special to the Memphis Appeal.
Corinth, May 17.—Tbe enemy-advanc-
ed t©-day in three positions in line of bat-
tle on the Monterey road, and drove in our
pickets.
Clanton's Alabama cavalry engaged the
enemy's pickets, a number of whom were
killed. Severafof our men were wounded
G-eat demoralization exists among ihe
Federal troips, aud numbers are desert-
ing.
Another batch of prisoners have been
paroled and sent to the Federal lines.
SPARTA.
Richmond, May 16.—The city is very
quiet to-day, and business is suspecded in
accordance with the President's procla-
mation. The Federal gunboats have gone
down James river, below City Point.
Special to Mobile News.
Corinth, May 12.—On the 9th instant
Col. Woodward, with his Kentucky Cav-
alry and a detachment of Texas Rangers,
attacked the Federals at Elk river, killed
several and captured two captains, two
lieutenants, forty-three privates and eight
negroes.
The Confederate loss was five killed, in
eluding Capt. Harris, of the Rangers, and
seven wounded.
This is official. P. W. A.
From Richmond.—The Richmond cor-
respondent of the Charleston Mercury
says:
Morgan, as I predicted, has struck a
blow. We hope soon to have Morgan
in Virginia, ia the person of John Scott,
late Captain of the Black Horse, some time
ifetor of the Whig, and author of "The
Lost Principle." If -it be true that his
brother, R. E. Scott, has been murdered
by Lincoln maurauders, we may be sure
that Capt. Scott will one day exact a terri-
ble retribution.
Later news has rendered it unquestion-
able that Mr. Scott was murdered as has
been stated.
A distinguished gentleman of this city,
who had a long conversation with Count
Mercier, says that Mercier went away
wi.h the falsity of the promise of speedy
subjugation held out by Lincoln and Sew-
ard. He thinks there will be armed inter-
vention by France and England, that an
armistice will be demanded, and that the
principle of election introduced to deter-
mine the choice of the frontier States, as
to whether they will go North or South.
The South might consent to this. But
what sort of election would be held in these
States, overrun by Lincoln's hirelings?
Remember Kansas and the bogus voters!
FURTHER FROiH NEW ORLEANS.
A citizen of Houston, who has run the
gauntlet in and out of New Orleans, thus
writes regarding the condition of things
there:
Nxw Ibbria, May 27.
ELAVK GOT IN AND OUT NEW ORLEANS ALL
/ WELL.
By the above you will perceive that I have suc-
cessfully run the gaugtlet. I have had a rough
trip, cut the old saying Is verified in this instance
— 'All's well that ends well."
The condition of thisga in New Orleans is truly
horrid, and we in Tex^s cannot appreciate the
amount of humiliation our friends In New Orleans
have to endure at the hands of ihe Viindals. Ar-
rests for tbe most trivia* offences is the order of
the dav. People have to submit like negroes to
the whims of Picayune Butler and his boats of
Yankees, That the cit£ was sold nine months
ago to the Jederais, is mmatter of which the latter
brag. And what is more, ;t was sold by thote in
whom the whole contid.ed. I have not th* time
nor inclination to dwell upon this matter, but will
give particulars when I return.
* W R RUMOBS.
It is rumored in Orleans that Virginia is
lost to us. The rorces under Magruder retreated
from tbe Peninsula within 15 miles of Richmond,
to a point where no auccess'nl stand can be made
again«t the enemy*s gunboats.
Rumor No.2.—It ia reported that Be-uregard is
again in possession of Columbus, and he aims to
have^St Louis.
RumorNo.3 —The Yaakees say that they sre
goiug on a pic nic excursion into Texas thia sum-
mer by the following routes: Bueii ia to wbip
Beauregard and t ke his line of march to Texas;
Butter will send a large lorce by the way ol Bayou
leobe, and, after taking Ualvestou, send a iorcejA>
the cuin laud to Houston;another lorce is to laud
by tbe way of Mekico, and. after subduing ihe
whole Sute, Jim Laue is to connect with them at
Austin, where it is proposed to have a grand ball
by the 1st of December next. Tbey say that they
'h*ve friends in Texas, who will be glad to sea

We copy from the Delta, the Federal
account of tbe proceedings :
Immediately upou tbe receipt of this epistle the
Piovost Marshal trought the Mayor before Oen. But-
ler. The Mavor was theu told tbat tue language of
the letter wouid not be Ulerated.and that if he be-
lieved that h could no longer control the "aroused
pa-vions oftb* peopl ','Tbe would bo relie^ ed of any
r^oon-5bi:itr fir tbe tranquility ot the city, anu sent
to a place of safety himself, to-wit: Fort Jackson.
The Mavor said thbt be only desired to vindicate the
h"n< r of tbe virtuous worn n of tbe city. He was
Informed that tbete was no vindication needed, be-
cause 'be order did not contemnlate any virtuous
worn. n. fir the General did not believe that .-uch
pernor., bv word, gehture or movement, meant to in-
sult anv one of his officers or soldiers. And the order
impHe i 110 others, save those that bad inftiited tbe
troops.
The M-iyorMid wl*h this explanation he was satis-
fied, and would withdraw his letter. He therefore
signe-i the following written apology and left for his
home:

At the time oi the delivery of tne Mayor's sec-

topnblish It. On the following day the Mayor
tent again a duplicate of hia first letter. Imme-
diately his presence waa required before the Gen-
eral. Hecaoie, accompanied by Duncan, and was
then, asked to retract the insulting language of
the letter He said he (lid not wish to sena the
letter, ifbe was at liberty to publish what th. Gen-
eral had naid to him before—that Order No. 28
did notreler to nil the ladies of New Orleans.
The General thereupon told him that in order to
prevent any misapprehension, he. would put in
writing on the bottom of a copy of the Order ex-
actly to vwhom ir did refer, so as "to make it plain to
the meanest capacity, and he thereupon wrote the
following memorandum on the bottom of the Order:
" Yon ma> nay that this order refers to those women
who have shown contempt for and insulted my
soldiers, by word*, gestures and movements in their
presence.
On Moridqj, the Mayor went to with-
draw his apology, when another charge
was trumpet! up against him, and he whs

New Orleans, May 19, 1862.
Major General Butler, Nevr Orleans:
Sir—Your General Order No. 28 has been read by
me with surprise and disgust—surprise that our
newspapers should be instrumental in promnlgat-
ine such an infamous order, and disguwt that such a
piece of malignant villany could emanate from the
representative of a country whose boast has beeu
that it wa? first in civilization among the nation*
of th« earth. No doubt every man and woman
throughout the civilised world, who reads it. will
be auin.ated by the s^xne feelings.
You douotlcss feel chagrined at the hospitali-
ti.-t tendered to tbe offcers of the French navy.—
You and your cfricers would I ave received simiUr.

My obj ct in ^daresc vg you is not with any
hope ot orlnginrj you vj ^ proper sense of your
depravity, lor^you are jevidrnty beyond the reach
of hope, but rather to warn you of the danger you
have incurred from one who has yet te fail in ful-
filling any oromise of the kind ever made by htm.

Ah for you. individually, had yuu come amongst ns

My husband desires me to add that he would call

We have by tbn Central*!rain to-day no additional
news of importance. Mr. Browning, wko is just
through from Richmond, crossed the river at "Vicks-
burg on the 19th. Our digpatehes thia morning
were two days later. He informs ns that a formal
demand had been made for the surrender of Vicks-
bnrg which was not complied with. There is a
letter mail from Little Book. The following is all
the telegraphic we see not already published :
Browhsville, Ark., May 19.—A gentleman just
arrived from Searcy, who was made prisoner by
the Fedeials, and was released at sundown
Wednesday, reports 2,500 Federals camped oppo
site Searcy on Wat^us' farm, und about 8,fi00 at
Little's farm 7 miles from Searcy. All the Fede-
rals he saw were low Dutch, except the cuvalry,
numbering about 4«i6, who were Americans.

a Federal defeat at Cortuth. accompanied by an order

The Affair at Fannington.
Goristh, 51 ar 10th, 1S6C.
Tbe enemy had been flannttng his flag iu our laces
for several uays, and seemed to be lealty desifhnato
CiO«s sword - with ns. Indeed, he bad necome eo In-
solent that Beauregard aecided to give him an oppor-
tunity to show whether he'meaut all bis acts implied,
or wa= merely playing the braggirt. Accordingly, he
rut a potti' n ot tbe army iu motion in the forenoon,
and by 12 o'clock he had come up with the enemy at
Farm! gtou,a dilapidated rillage five miles northeast,
of Corinth, ou tbe road to Hamburg.
It was known that Oen. Pope wag at Farmington
with hia New Madrid army of 20,000. It was uncer-
tain, however, what other forest, if any. were tuere
to C' -operate v. ith him. Tbe force sent out to engage
Mm differed very little from hts own In numbers.
And yet he and his entire army seemed stricken wnh
i^nic from the beginning ot the engagement. The
truth is, tbey tied like so many sheep, "iwo or three
regiments dld.attempt to make a stand, and lr-one
iiihtance a considerable force made a dash at Robert-
son's battery;£but tbey were repulsed in tbe most
gallant manner by the battery lt«elf. Rubertaou
donble-fhotted his gULs w-tih grape, and with a.iew
rapid and well directed discharge*, be hent them
scattered In every direction. The moment tbey g*ve
way he dabbed t oi ward with his battery, and poured
a murderous fire Into their retreating ranks, which
sent tbem c.oss beveu Mile Ureek In true Buii Run
lashion. ^
This is one of the best batteries in the army, and
rendered valuable service at Shiloh, both Sunday
and Monday. The cr mpany waa made up at Pen-
aacola out of the twelve months' regiments, and
is composed of Alabamians, Georgians, Mississip-
pians. Loalsianians and Texans. Capt. Robertson
ia from Texas.
Gen. Raggles opened the attack, and Van Born
and Priee soon took up the tale. The engagement
(it it may be so calleo) that ensued can only be
properly characterised as a running fight from the
time the Federals discovered we had attacked
them in some force. Possibly Gen. Pope had or-
ders to retire in the event he was attacked, since
one can hardly conceive how 20,000 fresh troops
in position could fail to offer some respectable re
slstance to even double their own numbers. And
yet the wild disorder in which his army fled—each
man seeming to be concerned in taking care of
himselr alone—would preclude the idea that his
withdrawal was in accordance wi?h previous in-
structions.
His conduct it rendered still more mysterious by
the reports of prisoners, a few of whom were cap-
tured in spite of their fleetness. Some of them say
that 40,000 men were massed together in an en-
trenched camp behind Seven Mile Creek, about a
mile and a half back of Farmington. These troope
bad ample time to come to tbe assistance of Gen.
Pope. Possibly Halleck thought the Confederates
would follow on across the creek, where he would
have them at a disadvantage ; or. it may be, he
was not ready for the decisive battle, and there
fore remained quietly in his camp. Be this as it
may, Gen: Beauregard offered him battle upon a
fair and open field, and he declined to accept it.
If he was not ready, then he acted wisely ; if he
was. and still declined to offer, then he must dis-
trust bis ability to cope with us upon equal terms.
The loss was slight cn both sides, on account of
the character of the engagement. Fifty will covor
the number of our killed and wounded, and 200
that of the enemy- We captured a telegraph office
and a considerable amount of baggage and camp
equipage.
vVe took several horses and killed a good many.
A battalion of Federal cavalry attempted to arrest
the pursuit, and wiih this view they made a charge
upon one of our regiments; but a single volley
fi om the Confederates unseated nearly half of
them, and sent the rest flying alter their com-
rades. The pursuit ceased at Seven Mile Creek,
across which the enemy fled in confusion. Gen
Van Dorn destroyed the bridge over the creek and
then returned.
The affair has had a happy effect upon our
troops They had been chafing for days under
the insolent behavior of the Federals, and now
and then a weather-beaten follower of Gen. Price
would inquire how long these fellows were to be
allowed to Bbake their fists. It gave the men a
pleaafnt day's entertainment, aud has furnished
them with an agreeable topic of conversation fcr
some time to come.
The Federal press admit a loss at Shiloh of over
13,000 men, including 3 9t0 prisoners. It would
be safe to double their figures. You may form
some idea of the stunning effects of the blow ad
ministered to the enemy on that ever-memorable
field, from the fact that it has now been five weeks
since the battle was fought, and yet with all their
resources in men and transportation, they have
been unable thus far to rerew the fight. H.
The Gunboat 'Battle above Fart Pillow,

Fort Pillow, May 12. j
Eds. Appeal—Please find the following (Capt.
Montgomery's) official report of the late engage-
ment, as promised you by me when in yourvcitv.
F.
I have the honor to report an engagement with
the Federal | unboats at Plumb Point Bend, four
miles above Fort Pillow, May 10th, 1862.
Having previously arranged with my officers tbe
order of attack, our boats left their moor.ngs at 6
o'clock A. M.,and proceeding up the river, passed
round a sharp point, which brought us in full view
of the enemy's fleet, numbering eight rS) gunboats
and twelve (12) mortar boats. Tbe Federal boat
"Carondelet'* was iajing nearest us, guirding a
mortar boat tfcat was shelling the fort. The
"Gen. Bragg," Capt. W. H. H. Leonard, dashed
at her, the ''Carondelet" firing her heavy guns,
retreated towards a bar where the depth of water
would not be sufficient for our boats to follow.
The *fcBrasg" continued boldly on under fire of
nearly their whole flaet, and struck her a violent
blow that stopped her further flight, then roundel
down the river under a broadside fire and drifted
until her tiller rope, that had got out of order,
could be readjusted. A few moments after the
Bragg struck her blow, the "Gen. Sterling Price,"
First Officer J. E. Henthern, ran into the same
boat aft, a little starboard of her midships, carry-
ing away her rudder, stern-post, and a large pieee
of her siern. This threw the 4kCvrondelet's" stern
to the "Sumter," Capt. W. W. Lamb, who struck
her running at the utmost speed of bis boat.
The Gen. Earl Van Born, Capt. Israel D. Ful-
kerson, running accorumg to orders in the rear of
the Price and Sumter, directed his attention to the
Moand Ci'y,at the time pouring broadsides into
the Price and Sumter. As the Van Born proceed-
ed, by skillful shots from her thirty-two pounder.
W. G. Kendall, gunner.' silenced a mortar boat
that was filling the air with itB missiles. The Van
Born, still holding on the Mound City's midships,
in the act of striking, the Mound City sheered,
and the Van Uorn struck her;a glancing blow,
making a hole four feet deea% in her starboard for-
ward quarter, evidenoed by splinters left on the
iion bow of the Van Born. At this juncture the
Van Born was above four of the enemy's boats.
As our remaining boats, the Oen. M.Jeff. Thomp-
son, Capt. J. H. Burk, the Col. Lovell,Capt. J. C.
Belancy ; and the Gen. Beauregard, Cant. J. H.
Hurt, were entering boldly into the contest in their
prescribed order, I perceived from the flag boat
that the enemy's boats were taking positions
where the water was too shallow for our boats to
get at them, and as our cannon were far inferior
to theirs, both in numbe'rs and size, I signalled
our boats to fall back, which was accomplished
with a eoolness thai deserves the highest commen-
dation.
I am happy to Inform you, while exposed it close
quarters to a moat terrific Ore ior tmrty minutes, our
boat*, although atrucc rapeatealy, Obtained no
serious injuries.
Gen. M.Jeff. Thompson was on the "Gen. Brag*."
Ills meu aud officers were divided among tbe boat-.
Tuey were all at their post, ready to do good service
should occasion ofier.
To my officers and men, I am highly Indebted for
their courage and promptness in executing all order*.
On the 11th 11 st, I went no the " Little Rebel n in
full view of the enemy's fleet, saw the " Carondelet"
feuuk near tbe shore, and tbe " Moand utty sunk on
the bar.
Tbe position occupied bv the enemy's gunboats
above Fort Pillow, ofier more obsucies to our mode
ot attack, than ai.y o.her between Cairo aud Jiew

Moderator, Rev. B. M- Palmer, D.D., of
New Orleans, being absent, on motion the
Rev. L. Kirkpatrick, D.D.. of North
Carolina, was appointed to preach the ser-
mon and preside until a Moderator could
be chosen.
Dr. K. preached a solemn, eloquent and j
aWe sermon from Romans, 8fh chap., 7th •
Terse.
Commissioners were then enrolled from
♦he following Synods, complete in ministe-
rial representation, partially in the Elaei-
ship, viz; Alabama, Georgia, North Oaro?
lina, South Carolina, Virginia (except two
Presbyteries); the Synod oi Mississippi,
(three Presbyteries); the SynoUs of Mem-
phis, Nashville and Texas, (one Presby-
tery each); and the Synod of Arkansas no
Commissioner—making a total of thirty-
one Ministers and sixteen Ruling Elders,
your correspondent representing the Pres-
bytery of Western Texas, and the only
Commissioner west of. the Mississippi.
Twenty Presbyteries had no Commis-
sioners present. Dr. Kirkpatrick was
chosen Moderator, and Dr. E. T. Baird, of
Mississippi, acting Stated Clerk in tbe. ab-
sence of Dr. Waddel and Dr. McBride of
South Carolina. Temporary Clerk.
One-half hour was spent each morning
in devotional exercises, with reference lo
the distracted state of the country!
Dr. John Leyburn presented the report
on domestic missions, which is located in
New Orleans. The Committee has beeu in
successful operation since the last assem-
bly and until interrupted by the enemy,
was doing a good work. Dr. L. being a
refugee from New Orleans, was authorized
to select, a temporary location for the
Committee's operations, he being allowed
to choose a temporary Committee to aid
him wherever a place of safety may be
found. He will doubtless stop fqp the
present at Macon, Ga.
Dr. J. Leighton Wilson presented an
interesting report, from the Committee of
Foreign Missions. It showed a most
liberal and commendable spirit of liber-
ality among our churches, towards that
noble object. Notwithstanding tbe war
has separated us from intercourse with
other nations, leaving only to our care the
Indian tribes west of the Mississippi, and
from these now partially separated, yet
the contributions of many have not been
curtailed. This is a hopeful sign for the
future. The committees on education and
publication were not represented by their
secretaries and their reports failed from
the irregularities of the mails. The sec-
retaries were all re-elected and in general
tbe committees, they being also author-
ized to make such temporary obanges as
circumstances may demand, and all need-
ful arrangements for the security and
transmission of funds entrusted to them.
No corresponding delegates were present,
because such bodies have held no meetings
since our last assembly. Those appointed
tbem to represent U3 were continued for
this Spring's meeting of such bodies and
new delegates for next Spring.
The committees on tbe revision of the
book of Discipline and the University and
the instruction of slaves were continued.
The Presbytery of New Orleans overtured
the Assembly that, " in order to eecure
uniformity of procedure and relieve Pres-
byteries from embarrassment, to pass an
act authorizing the Presbyteries to receive
such ministers as may come from the Old
School General Assembly North, without
the usualletters of dismission upon afford-
ing satisfactory evidence of their good
standing, and making the usual statement
of their doctrinal views." It was agreed
to, diiecting that they pass the usual ex-
aminations on experimental religion, Di-
dactic and Polemic Theology and clinrch
government.
Dr. Baird prepared and presented an
able pastoral letter addressed to the min-
isters and members of onr churches and
tbe yout*< of our congregations now in the
army, fighting the battles of our national
independence. It was ordered to be
printed for distribution. It was recom-
mended that on the last Sabbath of every
month, the baptised young men of the
army should be tbe special object of
prayer.
The day of prayer for institutions of
learning'and the youth of both sexes there
receiving an education, was ch nged from
December to the last Thursday of Februa-
ry, which has so long been observed. The
members of tbe Assembly filled the pul-
pits of the city on the Sabbath, and every
night was occupied by preaching in the
Presbyterian Church. The state of our
Confederacy had prevented many from
attending and made those present anxious
for their families and homes. Hence the
entire absence of speech-making and use-
less debate. The. sessions were most de-
lightful and perfectly harmonious. On
Monday night, the 6th, the Assembly ad-
journed to meet in Columbia. S. C., on the
first Thursday in May, 1863, at 11 a. m.
the fight took place, and there waa no doubt
in New Orleans the Federals had got
whipped.
A Federal officer was reported to have
?aid that a great battle hao been tougbt
in Virginia, in which tbey had been rout-
ed and lost 13,000 men- No news bad been

Navasota, May 12.
Ed. Teltgi aph—Giddings' company of
horse from Brenham, passed here this
morning—a remarkably fine body of men,
cool and resolute, and perfectly discip-
lined.
They were followed bf a small party of
horse, about 2-1 or 80, whose conduct was
a painful contrast to the gentlemanly con-
duct of their predecessors, and therefore
the citizens of this place have requested
me to send you an accwunt of their doings.
They said they were soldiers, ohiefly
from Burlessn county, and that they be-
longed to Capt. Shannon's company, Car-
ter's Brigade, and were going to Crookett.
They got partially excited by brandy-
peaches, aod came into the gallery of Mrs'
LfcftonSi hotel, dancing and yelling like so
many madmen, incapable of self-control or
common decency, lifting up tjae ladies' lap
dogs and dashing them against the ground.
It wes in vain I informed them there were
ladies in the parlor, they appeared callous
to all sense of shame or honor, and said
tbey never expected to be in that town
again anyhow. Tbey asked for dinner,
and ten or twelve put their horses in Mrs.
Lofton's stable, where tbey bad them well
fed. Not being willing to admit such a
coarse and indecent crowd to tbe table
with ladies or respectable people, I kept
the dinner baok. Three of tbem, getting
tired waiting, went to Mrs. Gos«ll's res-
taurant and there demanded dinner, but
their violent conduct so alarmed her
that she refused to put dinner on the table.
They said they had money to pay, but she
told them she did not want their money.
Gentlemen present told them tbe lady had
a husband, a soldier, fighting for the coun-
try in Sibley's Brigade, aud they ought
not to treat her in that manner, at whioh
tbey went off, but returned again, and the
same scene was repeated.
Observing dinner was being put on Mr.
Nolan's table, 15 or 16 rushed in there,
ard after eating and drinking, broke a
child's buggy and left, refusing to ; pay.

DsHORALUAiiosor Havlkck's A ext.—
From what we Can learn, Halleck's army
at Pittsburg is in a terrible plight. Betide*
being reduced by sickness and disaster, it
is growing "small by degrees and beauti-
fully less" through countless desertions.
It is the confident opinion of a gentleman
who bas recently arrived from Ciarksvitle
that there are not lees than 6,000 strag-
glers and deserters swarming tbe road?
between the Tennessee river and Kentucky.
It is stated that the whole 40th Ohio regi-
ment disbanded and deserted after the
battle of the 7th ult., and nnmben ot
Kentuckians aod Missourians have fol-
lowed their example in consequence of dis-
affection produced by the late anti-slavery

Novel Mode or Selectisg a Wife.—
The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald relates the
following novel expedient for avoiding tbe
pangs and delays of courtship ;
A few days since, a respectable business
firm, on Water street, received a letter
from a customer near Yonngstown, enclos-
ing an order for a wife! The customer
was a rich, middle aged Dutchman, and a
-widower. He said he wanted i wife right
off, and he bad no time to look up one for
himself, bat should be i^town in a day or
iwc to marry the wwn> which Le slependcd
on hia ci'y friends to have ready for him.
Such an order rather took the merchant
aback, but the man was tjo good a cus-
tomer to disoblige. As they had no sup-
ply of the article ou band for sale, one of
the firm went out to bunt it up, and at an |
inteltigenceoffice track of a girl who
could speak German and English, was
tolerably good looking, and very mnch
wanted to find a hasband. A bargain was
struck. Toe Dotohman came in yesterday,
round an article ready for him. approved
of it, and took bis curious purchase home
with him. We did not le3rn whether the
firm charged a special fee. or a percent-
age commission on the market value of the
article.
Esghsu Vessels Detaiked.—The cor-
respondent of tin Philadelphia Inquirer,
writing from Beaufort. N. C-, March 31st,
to which p'.acs the Burueido expedition
had advauci:d, oommunioates
mg.
Two had their horses shod by Mr. Swain,
and rode off: he followed them for his
pay, bat tney told him to charge tbe South-
em Coufederaoy. Several wtnt into Mr.
Marshall the Baker's shop, took two pock-
et knives, worth a dollar and a half each,
and refused to pay, telling him also to
charge the 8. C-, and scaring his wife to
run out.
A number went into Lee S Taliaferro's
store, and one of them stole a five dollar
and a half hat: another finding there waa
brandy by the bottle insisted upon having
a bottle He was iuformed it was to be re-
tailed for sick soldiers, but he insisted for
it so much that Dr. Smith let him have a
bottle on condition of hia paying for it,
but as soon as he got it in his hand, he
rode off without paying. They otherwise
behaved outrageously towards Dr. Smith,
and threatened to eat him up.
Tbey insulted ladies in the street by the
most gross and vulpar lancuage, which so
excited some of onr citizens that blood
would have been shed bad they sot put
out soon.
Now it seems to us that these men couid
not be soldiers, bat * gang of robbers and
thlevpp, professing to be soldiers, eo that
under that name, they may rob and steal,
commit outrages on d fencejess families.
They appeared to have no officer
among them nor any one possessing any
authority, and we therefore desire publi-
city to be given to this, so that the matter
may be investigated, and the law take its
I course.

the follow-
dent that such soldiers can only disgrace
tbe cause rhey profesB to fight for. There
are plenty of men to defend the country who
are a terror to the enemy and not to their
friends—fit were not so. it would be bet-
ter to submit to any_tyranny, rather than
be at the mercy o' an unprincipled mob.
There was method in their madness, and
drunkenness appeared only a mere pretext
for their conduct. They bragged they had
money—if they had had none, and behaved
like men. the cititens would have willing-
