Capture ol'Uic Qnccn oftho >Vc»t.
Rort Hudson, 18th. via Mobile, 19tb.
Oupt. Cnnron, from Rod River, brings
information of I ho capture of tlio Fed-
oral gunboat Queen of tho West, at
Tcloilll Flll't. I M.Vlf
ivlor, on Red
Gordon's Island, Fort
River.
The Queen or the West cap lured the
Confederate .transport Era. after a num
ber of tires, and t'urefd Iter pilot, John
Burke, to take the wheel, ami ordered
him to take thogurtbouf toour batteries,
Burke feigned fear, but finally took the
wired under a Yankee guard. Upon
nearing the battery, ho told the Yan
kees that they were fifteen miles below,
then, immediately pulling the boat
close in, she received a shot which
broke her steam pipo, disabling her.
Tho Yankees were totally unprepared
for alight, and suspected no danger.
Burke jumped overboard and stvnrn
ashore. The Queen of tho West drifted
to the opposite shore, when her crew
made their escape, with tho exception
of 18, who fell into our hands. The
urmv subsequently got aboard of the
Yankee limit LteSoto, anil, with 200
negroes, i fleeted their escape. The
Queen of the West is now in the pos
session of tho Confederate*, and will bo
lowed to a place of safety for repairs,
it is reported that tho Yankee gunboat.
J ndinnoln gave up and vas recap in rad.
The conduct of Burke, the gallant
Irishman, elioits the highi st praise.
Later" intelligence states that tho
ConfcKerate sieamer Wi-hli pur-tied and
raptured the Era, who was disabled in
her wheel.
The Queen of the West is hut slightly
injured, and will soon lie m lighting
trim under t'onlei'crate colors.
V. e have positive information that
the transport 1 >•• Suto was burned by
the i'etlerals to prevent her falling into
the hands of tho Confederates. The
Alexandria Democrat extra, received
here, entail) h the. official report of the
capture of the Queen of the West by
Capt. d. Kelso, commanding the torti-
licaiions on.Red river. 'He says: Two
gunboats made their ft| pet... too in
front ot this position at five o’clock last
evening.—After a brief connonade, tho
leading gunboat—tlit* Quern ot the
Wert—struck her colors, I immediately
oiaeled Captain lluttoii. of tlio Cres
cent Artillery, and Lieut. D. li. La
IIcmly to go on hoard and demand a
8Umnder. Those officers reported but
thirteen officers and crew on board, the
others having escaped under cover of
night. The visible results of thneap-
iuie consists in one 1)2 pounder rifled
Parrott gun. one 24 pounder, three 12
pounder brass pieces, and one slightly
damaged, besides an abundant supply
of ordnance stores) a large supply of,
quinine, fine cases of amputating lu
st nunentf clothing, flour, bucon, beet,
pork, hurd bread, and other stores in
proportion. The Democrat says the
victory is complete, grand, and decided,
and we are ready to capture ull such
oralis us the batteries at Vicksburg al
low to pass them.
The French Intrigncs in Texas.
The French legation at Washington
lias seen proper to deny peremptorily
that the Emperor has been plotting to
separate Texas from the confederacy,
and a correspondent ml the New York
Tribune, who evidently speaks ftom
oht-amld directly • from tho legating,
asserts that the French government ir
at present wholly ignorant of what bus
tnken plnco in refcronGO to this matter.
The whole responsibility connected
with it falls upon unknown agents and
subaltern officers, who, desirous of
distinguishing themselves, have assum
ed certain functions unwarranted by
their rank and position.
It is explained that mere, has long
been in Texas a parly attached to the
old idea of independence, and to the
French protectorate. Sonio members
of that party, believing that tlio troubles
in which tho Union was plunged afford
ed a favorable opportunity for tbe tri
umph of their favorite idea, went to
Theron, a grocer established ill Galves
ton, and advised him to sound the
present governor of Texas, Mr. Lub
bock, to see whether ho would not be
inclined to lend liis influence to the
tarty of independence, and to detach
Texas from tho icbol pretended Con
federacy.
According to French usages, a con
sular agent inis no official rank, receives
no pay. ti mi "is even unknown to tho
French government, llo is appointed
by a French consul of the nearest- city,
upon ivceftiticutc of gO"d character and
StKfid.t.g, without reference to his in
telligence and knowledge. In the
case alluded to, SI. Theron, who is a
grocer, established for some time in
Galveston, received from tho French
und .Spanish consuls in New Orleans,
the mission to not as agents lor France
and .Spain—that is to say, to sign pass
ports and t * perform cot tain other
Hiding duties. ,
Mr. Tabouelle, the Chancellor of the
French Consulate at Richmond, is also
implicated; but ho acted merely upon
information frffln M- Theron. Tabouelle
whose offleo is equivalent to that of a
clerk in the French consulate, availed
himself of the absence of M. Paul, tho
French Consul, who was then in New
York, to show his seal for the govern
ment he serves, nr.d believed to have
found an opportunity for promotion.
He lent himself ignorantly to the in-
tiiguo, and went with the documents
sent to him by Theron, to the Senator
from Texas, Mr. Oldham, to whom lie
made tbo propositions referred to by
Mr. Benjamin in his dispatches to Mr.
Slidell. The proof, however, that he
acted innocently in that transaction is
to bo found in the rescinding of tlio
order which had expelled • him and
Theron from tho Confederacy. That
order shows thut there was no concert
ed notion between this two men, nnd
that Tabouello was no party in* tho
intrigue.—Memphis Appeal,

Hardee’s Tactics’ Improvement
The Salisbury (N. C.) 'SVatchmun,
tells tho following which demonstrates
that all ingenuity is not of Yankee
origin and “llardce’s Taotics” not com
plete in military orders.
Capt. Osbo.no of Iredell, IS’orlh Caro
line, was wounded in tho battle of 31st
of May, neav Richmond, whilo lending
his company in a charge on the enemy’s
batteries. His wound disabled him
and he fell upon the field, where he
remained for some time. Fearing the
enemy might bayonet him, ho drew his
revolver und kept a sharp lookout ns
the fight progressed. After a while ho
raw a strong athletic man coming to-
wartl the place ho was lying, and dis
covering him to be a Yankee, ho coolly
awaited his approach. Ab soon as he
came within certain range of his pistol
the captain hailed him and ordered
him to surrender. Tho Yankee took a
momentary glanco nnd seeing the cap
tain’s j istol was bearing upon him
with a steady nnd deadly aim, be in
stantly dvoj ed his rifle. "Throw away
your knife,” said tho captain. It was
done. "Now back yourself up to me,”
was the next command. "Squat down
so that I can get upon your back.” Tho
Yankee wus compliant; and the cap
tain, with his pistol still bearing upon
his trembling prisouer, crawled upon
him, and ordered him to march into
the Confederate camp. The rider and
the ridden safely arrived at tlxS'cap
tain’s headquarters. Tho fuitnor ii

now at this place.
JGgyTho New Y'ork Tribune thinks
that, the military system of the South
is nearly perfect, v/hilo that of the
North is imperfect nnd irrational. It
says: "To regiments of veterans we
oppose on tho battle-field, regiments
of raw recruits commanded by raw
ofllcoi’s, and tlion wonder that the re
sult is often straggling, skulking'
insubordination, panic, flight, and de
feat.”
Wo quote another garngrnph from
tlfe Tribune’s extraordinary articles :
"To attempt to carry on war in the
way we are now doing, is as if a manu
facturer who had eight factories in
operation was to fill two of the eight
ith raw bunds, and raw overseers,
clerks and foremen. Clearly the best
method would ho for him not to em
ploy raw hands at nll, just as in mod-
n European.armies, tlio raw recruits
never sent into tho field. But any
sonsible manufacturer, if lie wus oblig
ed to employ raw hands, would prefer
distributiin; them evenly among his
Ttasn or Heaiuno Aijoct tub WA«.
It seemsjlhat oven in some parts ol
New England tlie peoplo have begu
to be weary of so much political preach
ing. A notable cusa is that of the
"Old Congregational Society" of New
Boston, Litchfield county, Connecticut
where Dr. Lyman Beecher so long
preached. This society, at a reeccnt
meeting, passed tho • following Resolu
tion :
skillful workmen in his different facto-
ies, retaining in all of them experienc
ed men as overseers and' foremen. And
this is just wliat tho South has done,
since the conscription laws came in to
force—they have dratted their raw re
cruits into their old regiments. The
result is that instead of Fort Henry,
Fort Donclson, and Roanoke Island,
they havo Frenericksburg and Vicks
burg to boa'Bt of. Instead of following
their example, which would be m good
thing, or adopting the modern Euro
peaij system, which would bo a better,
wo persist' in rushing whole regiments
of raw recruits, commanded by raw
officers fresh from the bar and the
counting house, into the field; and
then wonder . that wo meet with sad
everses 1”
Voted, That the Pulpit Committe
of this society are hereby instructed
that whenever they employ a minister
of the Gospel to preach in their meet

first inform said minister that Re is

A Vile Fraud.
Mr Richard Peters ‘has shown us a

Of tlio surname tho "B” only is legible.
The Atlanta it West Point Road has
not issued any change bills, and ■ there
is no authorised shinplnstcr of the kind
issued hero or elsewhere. Indeed, a
careful examination of its wording will
show it to ho a swindle oh its.fnce. Mr.
