jggy- A suspicious individual, culling
himself Barclay, wns nrresMd on the
ears as they wore about leaving Rome,
on .Saturday morning last. He had
been passing under different names at
difteront places, and on being arrested
claimed to bo a Kentuckian, and bo-
longed to Morgnu’a command. On
being searched, a passport from Nash,
ville was found on his person, signed
by order of ltosonorans. Ho wns turned
over to Col. Caldwell for investiga
tion, by Lt. T. J. Torry, who arrested
him,
Wc have since learned that he was
sent to Gen. Bragg’s headquarters.

Rosecraxs’ Order.—A very reliable
and intelligent gentleman informs us
that he has seen a published order of
Rosecrans, in which persons within his
lines aro forbidden, under severe pen
alties, to cultivate the ground—that no
man must plough, or raiso anything
upon which to subsist. He will furnish
a day’s rations ahead.

Gen. Buckner, whoso headquarters

Mackall. The Last embraces all the
territory East of tho Alabama fiver
and is placed under the command of
Brig. Gen. Canty.
®a?*Somo of tho Northern papers
are of tho opinion that if either Vicks
burg, Richmond or Charleston can be
taken, tho Confederacy will bo con
quered. They may believe such stuff
at the North, but such stuff docs not
find any believers at tho South.'
Important Rumor.—Wo loaru that
gentleman just from New Orleans
brings the welcome intelligence (hat-
the famous blockading steamer Brook,
lyn was captured by our horso marines
near Galveston, a abort time since,—
Ho says the Della publishes a full ac
count of the capture, which wa3 about
as follows: Tho Brooklyn got upon
sand bar, near (lelvoston, and removed
all of her guns to the opposite sido of
tlie boat, to tighten the one nearest the
bank. Our boys quietly surveyed the
process of removing the guns, .and
when it was accomplished they imme
diately got in small boats and quickly
'boarded her, compelling her instant
^render.—Jackson Mississippian, 10th.
taut points of the speech is its vindica
tion of tho truth (to a great extent) of
coining history. Wo most cheerfully
award to Mr. Vnllandiglmm great pa
triotism, ability, truth, and sincerity in
this speech, except ono poiut. Tho
consequences and effects may be of
doubtful import. That it must have
a salutary eifeol on the Norl h mid West,
wo think, docs not admit of a doubt*
It must excite tho wrath and venom of
tho ulore intelligent, wicked and de
signing fanatics of tho North and West*
to an extent that, will drive them to
n more full and * complete exposure of
their wicked and oruel purposes in the
inauguration of this war. The veil of
blackness and darkne's which hss cov
ered their naked and bloody hearts,
will, by this speech and their resent
ment, lie to somo extent unveiled, so
ns to exhibit more clearly to tlieir
stitpied dupes tho enormity of blood
and treasure for which these fanatics
are responsible ; and if there should bo
any among thorn who really have any
conscience, or purpose to think and do
right, but who liavo been ignorantly
misled into tho crime of spilling inno
cent blood, it will afford them an op
ptrtunity of dropping the scales from
their eyes, and taking’, a peep into
the real motives, purposes, effeots and
consequences of the war.
Therefore we think it a good and
great speech for tho North and West,
but, us to its effects on tho South, may
bo quite another question. It makes
r.o revelations which we of the South
did not know and understood from
tho beginning, but there are thousands
of enormities, and equally important
truNin, equally well known to us, not
revealed by Mr. Vullandigham—per-
Imps not known to him, but whioh
will ho equally well vindicated, in his
tory, in n coming day ; therefore, wo
of tho South liavo not, so far ns history
is concerned, boon edified. Tho trou.
ble, however, if any, is not hero.
Our people aro anxious, for ponce,
and that anxiety is'natural, reasonable,
just and commcndublo ; but peace is
impossible upon the terms suggested by
Mr, Vallandighim, and .what wo com
plain of, in tho speech is, wo think a
man of his intelligence ought to have
known it. Wo would dislike to eln\vgo
ou suoh a man, cither duplicity or
ignorance : but how ho is to escape the
ono or tho other, wo arc at fault to
understand.
So far as tho Scutli is concerned,
this speeeii will bo seductive und mis.
chiovous, unless cur people curb their
anxiety for peace within legitimate
bounds, which may bo haul to do by
somo. A "peace that looks to u ro-con-
stvuotion, is delusive ami rotten to
tho core. It would not (if any) be
better than subjugation; it would only
boa prolongation of tlio evil day; it
would bo a total loss of the blond and
treasure expended in this war, and
would place us in a condition whore
emancipation and our subjugtian, in a
coming day, would bo an easy task.—
With our experienco in tho past, un
less wo were wilful dupes, wo know
Ihul Yankee cupidity and corruption
lias no restraints by laws, constitutions
or compacts. If we fail to make a
complete job of it now, we never shall
doit. Under tho blessings of a kind
Providence, we now have the gnat
Yankee Sampson, shorn of his strength,
and wc must finish the work of our
independence now. Annihilation is
Utter than emancipation and subjuga
tion, then let our people not bo se
duced by tho syren song for peace
and reconstruction. “UancmUr Lot's

The Women nnd the Private Soldiers.
Tho following is an extract from n
private letter written by an officer, now
in the nrmy, to his wife;
You are the most incorrigible patriot
I know. Hang nio, if l don’t believe
you would sacrifice me for the cause.
•Those women,” as old Stein used to
say, “aro tho devil,’ but if they were
entitled to that distinction in times of
peace, thoy a“e certainly the incarnnto
deities of a revolutionary war. 1 do
not say this in disparagement of tho
sox ; for I reully believe that if wo ever
achieve jour independence tho glory of
it should belong to the women and the
private soldiers of the South. Tho
great work will be duo to the Ungrudg
ing spirit of devotion and sacrifice
animating women, and stimulating nnd
supporting tho tiroless energy and
heroic cudurnnco of the soldiers. Take
my word for it, tho peoplo who stay at
home liavo no conception whatever of
tho splendid metal of our soldimy.

the wild hand of war, will ring through

The mailed
CHtcrn Gunboats.
Harper’s Weekly, for February 7th,
contains prints of three ot tho new
Western gunboats, to form part of
CommodoroPorter's flotilla, witli (he
following descriptions accompanying
tho pictures:
“iXniANOI.A.”
The Indlanola, Lieutenant Common*
dor Georgo Brown, is a vessel of the
following dimensions: length, 170feet ;
beam, bO feet; depth Of hold, 7 feet;
and will draw, when ready for action,
about six feet of water. .Slic is pro
pelled bv four independent engines,
two attached to tho wheels and two to
tho propellers. Sho has four high
pressure boilers, nnd with this groat
steaming power it is expected that she
will run nguihst the current about thir
teen niilis an hour. She is covered
with (wo inch roiled plates. Sho has
one stationary turret, withslopingsiiles.
Sho carries two eleven inch D.ihlgren
uns in tho turret, nnd several 24-pouu-
ler guns in the broadside Site lias
u)so u pow rful rain, nnd with hcv great
power sho will no doubt prove a very
destructive vessel among the rebel
craft.
Tho “rebels,” under Major Brent,
have already given a good account of
tho vessel, nnd she will no doubt, in
company with tho Queen of the West
soon be heard from in a better service,,

Tho Choctaw is another vessel of tho
rain class, witli a turret on the bow and
a few broudsido guns at the stern of the
vessel. She is ipore extensively mailed
than tho Indinnola, hut in other res
pects she is not fur fi-am being identical

Extract
Of I letter from Cnpt, L. T, Mitch
ell. Co. C, 40th On. Volunteers, dated
Vicksburg, Feb. 23d : #
It is reported that tlio enemy liavo
gone through tlio Ynzpo Pass with a
land force of 10,000 men on their way
to Yazoo City nnd Grenada. General
Price’s forces aro thero ready for them.
We fear no hurra thero. The enemy
shell 11s nearly overy day. Our batte
ries made somo splendid shots day bo
fore yesterday ; they got a little too
near and our batteries opened on them,
ahd<I think if they had remained 30
minutes longer, our butteries would
have lifted them clean out cf tho river,
or tc,)l tlicm lo the bottom,_ but they
left in a hmiy,- and-wont kiteing with
ull spued up the river. They broke
one man’s arm, injured tivo ladies and
ono Child, and'kij.l&d a cow. Several
of our shots w.crq seen distinctly to
strike and on lor tlieir crafts. Somo-
body was evidently "hurt.”
Very heavy firing'is now going on
up towards the Yazoo ; something up.
We can too tlie -ibokc ; the rapidity, of
the firing is at tlie rate of four discbfli’-
ges per second. I Rat'd just licard of
the cause of the repevt up the river
this morning. Tlio enemy attempted
A Rattlesnake on the Ocean. On
Tuesday night, the privateer “Rattle-
snske” ran tlie gauntlet cf the block
ading fleet at the mouth of tlie Ogeo-
chco River und etoumed" away on the
broad ocean on her mission of destruc
tion of Yankee commerce. She is not
a Government war vessel, as was stated
by ono of our city cotc-mporarics some
lime since, hot a “privateer”—about ono
fifth of her stock bcuig owned in thib
city. Tltfl Rutt.lesntrae (lute Nashville)
is commanded by Capt. T. H. Baker,
an experienced uud competent efficer,
and ntoro especially qualified for his
present business by tho brutal and in
human treatment lie 1ms received at
the hands of the Yankees. It will bw
remembered that ho was the Captain of
the ill-fated . “.Savannah,” tvho, with
the rest of her crow, were so long con
fined in chains in a Northern dungeon
Wo learn that lie has' with him tho
handcuffs he tvoro wliilo under tho
“protection” of the “American Eagle,
and that ho declares his purpose to try
them on several pairs of Yankee wrists.
No wonder that lrjii soul; is all aglow
with' the passion ot revengo. Tho
Rattlesnuko is armed to the teeth and
will weed it wide ro w on tlie ocean.

fiiay-Russell, of the Times, gives the
following iliustrutiou, which hs him
self witnessed, of Lincoln’s story-telling
propensity:
Mr. Bates remonstrating apparently
against the appointment ot some indif
ferent- lawyer to a plaeo of judicial im-
poriimco,. tlie President interposed
with, "Come now, Bates, ho’B not half
as bail ns you think. Bosides that, 1
must tell you ho did nto a good turn
long ago. When I took to tlie law, I
was going to court one morning, with
some ten or twelve miles of bad road
befote nte, and hitd no horse. The
Judge ovurtook mo in his wagon
Hollo, Lincoln I aro you not going to
tlie Court He use ? Come in und I’ll
give you a seat.” Well, I got in nnd
tho Judge went on reading his papers.
Presently the wagon struck n stump on
ono side of tho road ; then it hopped
off to tuo other. I looked out, and 1
saw the driver was jerking from sido to
side in his seat, so says 1, “Judge, I
think your coachman lias been hiking
a little drop too much this morning.”
“Well, I declare, Lincoln,” said lie, "I
should not much wonder if you are
ight, for ho has nearly upset me half
n dozen times since storting.” 80 put-
tiug his hoad out of the window, he
shouted: “Why, you infernal scoun
Orel, you nro drunk!” Upon which’
pulling up his hovso and turning round
with great gravity, the conclmiun said,
“by gorra I that's the first rightful de
cision you have given for the lust
twelve month.”
fliSy* The Charleston nnd Suva tin ah
oluinnels, says tlie National rbtelligen
eer, arc full of torpedoes nnd obstruc
tions, which,' if they do not destroy the
vessels, will detain them long enough
under lire to bo crippled soriously, ur.d
judging from Fort Me A liislcr, an eusy
victory need not be expected. That
fort, it says, is us invulnerable as. tlio
Montauk, and until it is destroyed the
torpedoes and obstructions above can
not be removed, and that iron clads
cannot'Pasg. The defcncos of Charles
ton equal those of Savannah. Tlier
cun then be no overwhelming attack
but moro likely a protracted scige,
which, if successful, will be a dear
bought victory.
