I f tie prayed that the Lord would look
0D ‘ ug j n mercy as we then stood before him
i-al enemies'. The church was half filled with 1
!,:u' :t re ami h-gh privates, all bedazzenerl out in ;
blue broad cloth and gold lace and tassels, brass
buttons and black feathers—strange to say, look- j
ing as calm and collected, after their agitated per
! formances of the past week, as a pan of butter
rniik. Aou should see them as they troop past
; the gate sometimes, on horseback, forty or hfty
i jt them together, with their murderous looking
i spurs attached to their heels, great long swords
I encased in brass and dangling with terrific clamor
! against the horses’ sides, wide leathern girdle,
j with iEHumberable dirks, pistols and bowie knives
ota, bed thereunto, they in like manner clashing
gainst each other with unmitigated fury—all of
uiiich, with the clattering ot the horses’ hoofs
i "upon ti;c stony street,” serve to produce an es
-1 il et so horribly frightful that our faces are fever
i-lanched with terror, and we instinctively pull
our sun bonnets over our faces and stop our ears
with our Ungers, that we may shut out as much
as portable the terrifying and humiliating noise.
Ah 1 they are truly a tiruve set and look so much
like conquerors. Napoleon himself could not
have borne his “ blushing honors” more graceful
iy than do these victorious Yankees! And, in
truth, they have reason to look like victors ; lor
did they not perform the unparalleled exploit of
taking ihe city of Huntsville, with accounts of
which all the Northern papers are teeming?
A ci.y strongly fortified with the most impene
tiable brick houses, daring women, undaunted
children and furious bulldogs, the whole sur
louoded bv a natural parapet of shell, ball or
sword! And yet through all of this (the com
pletion of which, 1 must add, has occupied the
' itizeusof Huntsville thirty years,) these wonder
ful co;.quercrt-s have made their way, and are now
in possession of this “ modern Gibraltar.” I
wiii, however, say, for the edification of such as
may have had iriends or relatives concerned in
tnis affair, that rot a drop of blood was spilt; the
trees, finding they were overpowered by num
bei i, gave way and allowed the enemy to pasH
unharmed ; the stones, in like manner, retreated
from “Camp .Sinai,” and took up a more desira
ble position near “Fort Retreat,” which lies near
the base of the mountain ; the dar ng women re
tired to their castles, whilst compromise wan en
tered into by the furious bull dogs and undaunted
children, and a temporary armistice decided upon
—the enemy, meanwhile, walking in and pitching
th ir tents. I cannot but think, when I look up
on them, crowned with their freshly won laure s,
of the irishman, who, walking up to a dead man
on the battle field, boldly cut off his head and
held it up in triumph, and had much ado to per
suade himself that it was in reality he, Fat, who
b ad performed the wonderful feat. !
ihe enemy have, since their arrival in the
place, proceeded to lay waste all the plantat ons
within their jurisdiction. The third morning after
their advent, they marched, well armed and
equipped, to Ueu. W ’s plantation, where
they succeeded iu c ptur ng all the corn and ba
con on the place (comprising thirty or forty wag
on loads,) and also taking prisoners eighteen or
tweuty wild and spirited horses and mules, who
defended the place and themselves as well as
could he t xpocted, aud made all the resistance in
their power. On. another occasion a party of
them went to Gen. 0. 1’ ’s dwelling house,
when the family were all absent, Slid took posses
sion of all the daguerreotypes, jewelry and uu
morous other little toys upon the etegere.
’s house shared the same fate, the “sen
tinel” being off guaid.
A cavalry company laid seige to Alaj. (Vs “for
tification” and took a large amount of ammunition
in the shape of preserves aud pickles. Aluj (!’s
fine regiment ot feather beds utid mattresses were
completely cut to pieces in the affray ; and never
did a nobler set ol fellows perish ; many a silent
ear will be dropped in tribute to their memory,
us the story of their noble resistance and igno
minious death is read. Oh ! what have not these
villains to answer for ? They say they are de
termined to set fire to th s noble structure before
they leave, and have also decided, by council of
war, that Heuator C.’s “ marble palace” on .dare
Hill shall be razed to the ground.
So you see fhoy spread terror aud devastation
wherever they go; but there is one thing 1 am
glad of, aud that is that all our “cotton bales”
have enlisted for the war in the service of the C. j
S., else they would certainly have taken the last )
one of them prisoners, aud we could hardly have )
expected them to have been willing to agr. e to
an exchange. The Right Rev. Mr, K. reached this
• me li oui Corinth some four or five days since,
bet having heard that the people in this place
were ininrcal to the President of the C. 8., and
i: being moreover the habit of this Divine al
v, ayto pray ti i that honored parsonage, in his
church service, he therefore determined not to
bring his chutch with him, but left it in H, in
const quence ol tvh.ch we are debarred the plea
sure of week service (and .Sunday likewise)
Prof. IV , the gallant hero of tbe College, also
came to hand from Corinth, having walked near
ly tbe whole of the way, and being eight or ten
,'fava on.the road. The enemy took him into c-us
toiiy as soon n: hearrivtd, and tiied to foice him
to disclose something relative to the position of
our army; but as the gentleman in question swore
he would disclose nothing, and that no threat nor
bribe on their part could induce him to change
his determination, he was therefore sentenced to
be transported to the can p, with peremptory or
d, r;. that he should be strictly guarded aud forced
to eat the rations of a common soldier. After
enduring this brutal treatment for the space of
two du\ sand nights, having passed through
.numerous other “fiery furnaces,” he was at last
liberated on parole of honor. Do you not shudder
when you think that we are in the hands of such
ruffiian: We expect every night that the town
will be either Rhelled or burnt, (hi earnest,) and
tach night as I He upon my bed, I always commit
my helpless self to Hun who has promised to his
chosen that “not a hair of their loads should per
ish,” and such trust have 1 in these promises that
I have no tear, even though death should be my
foe. Sometimes when 1 wake up in the morning
1 am so surprised to see myself still safe, audtr.at
ihe hells hu\e not yet driven me to the Nits, that
1 snv to nip self in the most thankful and cheery
1 v.Bv possible, good morning, my dear, I’m glad
1 to see you’re stiil here.
| 1 miss dear little lluntsrille so much, and often
tmnk of the pleasant country walks we used to
j take, and the happy times we used to have sing
i mg together oa the porch every night; here the
streets arc so guarded that one dare not go be
; yond the dwelling houses, and as for singing in
! concert, the town is too full of Yankeedoodies
| ever to attempt such a thing. Oh ! our own dear
j soldi, rs, how f long to see them again in our
j midst; although I hare no near kindred in the
war 1 ted, now that I am separated from them,
that each one is as dear to me as a brother. Ail
our git is arc proud and brave and never loss
hope, they give no quarter to the Yankees, and
, as one of th, u remarked, he hadn’t seen a wo
man smile since he had been in H., for how can
I vc smile and be gay iu their presence when “our
hearts with Charley over the water f ” We had
three hundred Confederate prisoners in town for
about t.vo weeks, and every morning and even
ing the ladies used to visit them aud cheer them
up, and take care of the sick ones, aud carried
: them all the food that they ate. We used to make
biscuit aud corn bread for them every day, and
so did everybody else The Yankees gave Mrs.
B. dour, meal aiid meat to cook for them. Day
before yesterkay they left in wagons towards C’,
and we hear to tiav that our troops have taken
them all back again ut don't know how true it
is. : very day troops are retreating fro u C. to-
K inds Stev , under pretence at a battle expected
i cere, but in my opinion they are getting away
from our forces. Sometimes there are net more
ti. tu 500 troops in town, sud we hope that they
will soou leave.
1 do want to get back into the S C. so babiy, if
vou see anv of my soldier friends up your way,
please ask some of them to come and escort us back.
\Ve cannot return without protection. There is
a largo partv of girls here who came with me,
and who will join us. Our political canoe has run
aground and the non-secession waves are so
high that it would be actually dangerous for a
party of females to brave them without seme
trusty arm to guide tbe vessel s prew, I wish I
could see you all. We ought not to be separated.
Kiss my brother and take good care of him, meu
are so precious these war times, aud my best love
a kiss for your dear sister and the little ones and
mother. think of you ail the time. Direct
your letters to Yankeeville, C. 8. until you hear
further. Ido not expect to be xn H. before the
last part of next month. Buenos noches.

From Pensacola. —trentieman who arrived
from Pensacola to-day (Mondav) state that that
place is left without a municipal government. The
Mayor was summoned to the flag vessel. As he
landed on her deck, he was told that he was uuder
the protection of the old national flag. His replv
was that he came on business. “Some sharp
words passed between him &Dd the Yankee, when
he was informed that it was the intention of the
latter to place his men in command of the town,
and put his guards over it, and that the municip
al authorities would be restricted to certain privi
leges The Mayor was incensed and came away
and he and ail'the city officials resigned. The
flag of the enemv was to be raised to-day over
the town. — Mobil* Trioun*, VHh,

There is hut little to add to the account 1 sent
! you by telegraph oi the a- - ,r -- 1 -■“ miugion yes
j terday. Tbe enemy had been parading up and
dowu on our right lor several and seemed to
be rea'.lv auxiou3 to cr-*ts swords w:-.n us. lu
deed, he bad become so insolent tt-at Beauregard
concluded he would give him an opportunity to
show whether he meant all bis acts implied, or
was merelv play .ng the braggart. Accordingly,
he rut a part ot the army m motion in the fore
noon, and hv 12 o'clock he hsd come up with the
enemy at t armington, a averted village ' five
miles northeast of iV-noth, on the road to Harris
kurg. _ , „
Our officers were aware that G..u. Pope was at
, Farmington with his new Madrid army of about
i 20,000 men. It was not known, however, what
other forces, if any, were there to co-eperate with
him. The forces sent rut to engage him differed
very little from his own in numbers. And yet he
and his entire army seemed to be stricken with a
panic from the beginning of the engagement
The truth is, they fled hke so manv sheep Two
or three regiments did attempt to make a stand,
and in one instance a considerable force made a
dash at P.ob nson’s battery ; but they were re
piused in the most gallant manner. Robinson
double-sfcotted his guDs with grape, and with a
tew rapid and well directed discharges, h* *ca r
ter®d them like a flock of turkeys, tbe moment
they gave way, he dashed forward with the bat
tery, and poured a murderous fire into their
retreating ranks, which sent them across Heven
Aides creek in true Bull Bun fashion.
Robinson’s battery is one of the best ia the
| army, and rendered admirable service at Shiloh
i both Jsunday and Moncay. The company
| made up at Pensacola out of the twelve months
! regiments, and is composed of Georgians, Alabam
| ians and Mississippians. Capt. R. is from Texas.
There are some details ol the affair which could
; not fail to interest your readers, if I foil at liberty
[ to give them. Suffice it to say, we came near
capturing the greater part of Pope’s army. Tuo
hours more aDd the thing would'have been done.
Three guns were tired in succession by the Con
federates about 9 o’clock the night before, which
seem to have produced a moving effect upon the
Federate, who construed them into a signal of
some sort, and accordingly they fell back some
distance during the night. This rendered it nec -
essary for us to march that much farther before
we came up io them. And thus the enemy es
caped.
Gea. Ruggles opened the attack, and Tan Dorn
and Price soon took up the taie. The army ot the
West, led by tbe heroes f Elkhcrn, were princi
pally e gaged. The enemy ran so last, that Gen.
Buggies’ divßion, alter a ft-w discharges, were
unable to get within range ot his fiying’ columns.
Indeed, it was a running fight from the moment
the Federals learnrd we had attacked them in
force. Possibly Gen. Pope had orders to retire in
the event he was attacked, since one can hardiy
conceive how 20,000 fresh troops in position could
fail to offer a stubborn resistance to even twice
their own numbers. And yet tbe wild confusion
and disorder in which his troops fled—each man
seeming to he concerned in taking care of himself
alone—would preclude the idea that his withdraw
al was in accordance with previous orders.
His conduct is rendered still more mysterious
by the reports of prisoners, a few of whom were
captured io spite of their fieetness. Some of them
say that 40,000 men wet e massed together in an
entrenched camp behind Seven Miles Creek,
about a mile and a hall' back of Farmington. These
troops had ample time to come to Ihe assistance
of Gen. Pope. Possibly Halleck thought we
wouid follow on across the creek, where he would
have greatly the advantage; or, it may be, he was
not ready for the decisive battle, and therefore re
mained 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 the offer, then he must distrust
his ability to cope with us upon equal terms.
The loss was slight ou both sides, on account
of the character of the engagement. Fifty will
probably cover the number of our killed and
wounded, anu two hundred that of the enemy.
We captured a telegraph office, and a considerable
amount ofbaggage and camp equipage. As usual,
a large number of letters were picked up, one of
which, written by a young girl t-o her brother,
contains the following singular injunction :
“Bea good boy Charles and ifyou seeaseschen
iut iu distress help him if it is iu your power if it
is Jeff Davis his self.”
We took several horses, and killed a great ma
ny. A butalion of Federal cavalry attempted to
arrest the pursuit, and with this view they made
a charge upon our regiments; but a single volley
from the Confederates unseated nearly half of
them, and sent the rest fiying after their comrades.
The pursuit was stopped at Seven Miles creek,
across which the enemy Bed in confusion.
The affair has had a very 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 Price would
how long Beauregard was going to let these
fellows shake their fiats in his iace. It gave the
no n a pleasant day’s entertainment, aud has fur
nished them au agreeable topic of conversation
for some time to come. The sth Georgia regiment
was present, but did not participate iu the affair,
it went upou the field at a double quick, aud it
was with difficulty the boys ,could be restrained
from charging a battery— so eager, were they for
the fray.
The Federal press admit a loss at Shiloh of over
13,000 tueu, including 3,900 prisoners. It is be
lieved in well informed circles that it would be
safe to double their figures. You may form some
ideu of the stunning effects of the blow adminis
tered to the enemy on that ever memorable field,
from the fact that five weeks have now elapsed
since the battle was fought; and yet with all their
resources in men and transportation, they have
been unable thus far to renew th. fight.

Prisoners Returned.— A boat v/ith 14 lata pris

morning and reached home without any adven
ture. The ethers being Spaniards and well ac
quainted along shore, preferred taking their
chances mote leisurely. The men are portions of
the crew of the schooners Charlotte, (late Pio
neer) Southern Independence, and Virginia, which
sailed from Mobile on tho night of April 12tb,
and were taken betore daylight, the schooner
Cuba, which was captured the same night, an her
return voyage, and the R. L. Files, which failed
on the night of the 19th of April The captain,
mate, aud two hands of each vessel, were sent to
Boston.
The vessels which sailed on tbe 12th, left with a
fair wind, about 9 o’clock at night, but the moon
shining so bright that it was impossible to evade
observation ; besides which they had been lying
several days in Navy Cove, in plain sight of the
lookouts at the enemy’s mast head. Still they
might have escaped had not the wind left them.
The capture wss made 60 or 70 miles from land.
The Southern Independence was the first brought
to, aud the hoarding officer inquired where the
other two were. The Victoria being in sight they
pointed to her, but denied all knowledge of any
other; the Charlotte being then out of sight
ahead. The officer replied there was another,
giving the names of all of them, and showing his
knowledge es what was going on in Mobile by
asking a good many quest ons, as when the
steamers Cuba and California would leave, &c.
lie even told how many bales of cotton each of
them would take. The prisoners were takou to
Ship Island, and there kept on board the men of
, war until they were released.
On Wednesday last thirteen mortar boats and
two transport ships, with troops, leit the fleet, but
all except the latter returned next day, and one
of our informants says that one of the boats pass
ed unJ r the stern of the man of war on board
which he was, and ihe captain informed the cap
tain of the man of war that Fort Morgan had sur
rendered without firing a gun !
They say the coast is full of traitors, who make
no pretence of concealment, aud the few loyal
citizens do not dare to take vengeance on them.
[ Mobile lieguttr, Wth.
If New Orleans was never to be defended after
the enemy’s ships had made their way to it, its
fate may be considered only to have been antici
pated, inasmuch as in a few weeks the enemy will
have afloat a number of ocean-going batteries, in
vulnerably plated with iron-armor, carrying enor
mous armaments, and of great tonnage, which
would have eventuuilv passed the river de
fenses. It is wise for us to remember that though
we may defy the efforts which the enemy’s ship
ping now on the coast may make against Mobile,
other and mere terrible agencies f. r the capture
.or destruction es cur city may ere iont: brought
. against it. Since the demonstrated avaih.Vhty of
nu.il clad cralt, even Great Britain no loiu ercon
-1 Cot.- in the powerful fortification of her arbors,
the perfecting end strengthening of w; Ich has
. been the work of centuries, but trembles with the
I well founded apprehensions of her coast cities iu
the event of a war with any naval power. Our
enemy will soon have an iron clad squrdron afloat
for an assault upon thr coast cities we yet hold,
and if human ingenuity can devise any possible
method by which they can be defended against
attack mjsuch guise, let it go to work for our pro
tection. Happily, in the case of Mobile, the ap
proaches to the city are so shallow that an invul
nerably iron-clad vessel ot sufficiently light draft
to come within range, would hardly be sea-worthy
for the voyage out Irom the North. Could she
make the" voyage, obstructions in the channel
would not avail, as she could deliberately remove
them under fire, and dig her way through to the
city. The dav of forts and batteries as coast de
fenses is now'past. Henceforth, belligerents must
meet iron with iron.— Mobil* Register.

* J out their assign of defending the river s ?*ud to
tset the power ot cotton lining as a defensive ann
or an attack on the boats of the enemy
j miles above Port Pillow—was resolved npen-
Accordingly, on Saturday morning ieoc ten
o'clock, the boats of the expedition started from
c»v Fort Pillow to at:&ck the gunboats of yho
enemy, including the forinid&Die Benton. The
gunboat Gen. Bragg led the advance, tollcwed
by the Sumter, than the Ger. Earl Van Dorn, the
Sterling Price bringing up the rear. Ou rounding
tne point that brought the enemy’s five', into
view, the officers of Ihs expedition were sur
prised to find seven ircn-clad boats cn their way
down t'ie river, as if they had known o: the in
tended attack, and were on their way to meet
them. Sine* the battle, information has been :e
--csived that the Federals Lad 6etout with the in
tention of making their grand attack upon Fort
Pillow. The enemy was therefore in every way
prepared for battle, and the question of the vul
nerability or invulnerability ol the cotton lining,
Was to be subjected to as strong ates f as was to
be expected under any circumstances
The Gen. Bragg made the first attack, fast by
some means, after doing some good service, her
tiller rope got out of order, she became, for the
moment, unmanageable and drifted down the
stream. This was, of course, discouraging to the
remainder of our licet, who, of course, considered
that she had received some, serious injury, and
that the test, as far a she was concerned, was un
favorable in its results. The Sumter and Van
Dorn were next desperately engaged, butting
vigorously at tbe ea my’s bouts, shunning no lire,
but rushing to e.ose quarters and boldly running,
prow on, directly int i the opposing boats, having
twyi or three each to deal with. While thus hotly
® D g a ged, the Van Dorn swung in shore in the
oend, when a shore battery, located there, opened
fire upon her, in addition to what she was receiv
ing from two ol the enemy’s gunboats that were
close beside her, within pistol shot range.
In this state of things, with one of the best of
the four boats actually engaged, apparently in
circumstances where escape was Impossible, the
commauder, Card. L. J. Montgomery ordered the
signal to withdraw from action ;o be hoisted.
..Ihe boats obeytd the signal, and to their agreea
ble surprise the Tun Dorn, which had appeared
hopelessly lost-, butted her way out liom the at
tack of boats and batteries, and joined them
Our boats stopped their engines aud floated leis
urely down, with their bows up the stream, but.
the enemy contented himself with keeping up a
heavy and noisy tiring, without, however, follow
ing the retiring boats.
During the action, our boats confined them
selves almost wholly to dashing their iron prows
into the enemy’s boats, the sharp-shooters on
board meantime picking off the men trom their
guns and decks The Sterling Price, the Bragg,
and the Van Dorn, ail by turns, butted one of the
principal opposing boats. The marks on the Price
shewed that she had made a breach in which
it had entered a length of five feet; this
was near the bow of the boat she attacked. It was
next to impossible, in the thick smoke of the
firing, to read the names of the opposing boats,
but this boat, whichever she might be, ran on a
bar, and appeared to he sinking.' As the boats
were built in compartments, it is not easy te say
certainly what was the extent ot her damage. An
other boat cleared off' soon after the commence
ment of the action, and a third showed signs of
being very seriously injured.
On reaching the landing place below the fort, to
the surprise of all, net only were the other boats
free from any material injury, but the Vau Dorn,
which had been exposed to a raking tire ot the
most furious-character, had her Uuli light and
sound from steal to stern. Fhe had received,
however the severest shot that had struck auv of
our boats ; it was a 7 inch conical sheil that 'en
tered three feet above the water line near the stern,
and exploded inside. Even thi shot had entailed
no serious result. Latffi of the four boats had re
Ceived shot that had passed into the cotton lining,
but iu no case had it passed through. The great
fact, to test which was one of the principal ob
jects of the expe .ition, contrary to the prophesies
which had been so freely made, was amply estab
lished. The cotton proved an adequate and com
plete defense, entirely obsti acting ihe passage of
the bails, and that without the strain and jar at
tending the impinging of the halls upon plates of
iron. The Sumter hud been shot at the water
line, but she is very solidly bui.it at the spot where
the shot struck, and no serious duaiage was dune.
The only lives lost was those of a, cook and a
steward. Fix persons were wounded, noae of
them seriously. The loss of the enemy from the
guns of our sharpshooters is believed to be heavy.
The uotiou lasted from twenty to thirty minutes :
tbe time of leaving and returning to the lauding
was an hour aud a half. Wo remember to have
heard that a cotton lining was of great service in
saving a garment, but it remained for the Mont
gomery licet to demonstrate that a cotton lining
can effectually save a war vessel.
The KJg-Jii ut Fori DrurY.
The fight at fort Drury yesternay, on James
river, (Chesterfield side,) was quite an exciting
affair, and we have good grounds for believing,
resulted in a decided repulse to the Lincoln guu
boats. A gentleman wbo was present in orms us
that the approach of the Federals was first discov
ered by our pickets about day-light. The fight
ing was commenced about hall-past 7 o’clock,
and was continued, without intermission until 11,
when the gunboats, entirely satisfied, retired rap
idly down the river. The Galena, an iron-clad,
but not so formidable as the Monitor, was the on
ly vessel engaged, although the Monitor and three
gunboats were present.
The enemy firoil very rapidly, and did some ex
ecution in and around the Fort, but many of the
shells went far beyond the works, some of them
exploding a mile distant, and others bursted over
the turnpike. The Galena was placed hors <lu
combat by a plunging shot, which entered her up
per deck, ranging downwards and setting her on
fire. She proceeded a mile or so down the river,
when she was ran into shallow water and sunk,
to save her from total destruction by fire.
A shot from one of our rifled guns cut a small
boat in twain, which was swinging from the side
of one of the wooden vessels, and sent two men
which it contained to the bottom.
As the fleet moved ofi our sharp shooters who
lined the banks of the river for three or four
miles, poured their deadly missiles into every
port-hole and at every pilot house. Our piio't
was certainly killed, as lie was seen to fall at the
crack of a sharp-shooters rifle. Other of the in
vaders, it is thought, were sent to their final ac
count. The high bluffs, thickly covered with un
dergrowth; afford admirable protection for sharp
shooters, and the number, we hear, is to be great
ly increased.
The casulties on our side were five killed and
eight wounded.
It is the opinion of several who were present at
the bombardment, that the enemy will make an
other attempt to silence our guna at Fort Drury,
and that when he next comes, it will be with
mortar boats. The bluffs ara too elevated for his
gunboats to do much execution.
We are pleased to learn that the best spirits
pervade our men, and that they are determined
to make Old Abe’s “on to Richmond” by water,
as difficult as have been his efforts to reach our
glorious capital on terra firm a.—Petersburg Ex

On Saturday a file orboldiei-s, eomtuaudca by a
U. s. officer, repaired to the building on Canal
, street, occupied as the Hospe'FhsuraDce Company
! and as the Consulate of the Netherlands. Tb?
Sag was floating at the time froat the edifice. The
Federal officer demanded the key ol the vault, but
was told by Mr, Couturie, tke Dutch Consul, that
| the vault was the property of the Consulate, that
the key was in his po3sesliuu, and weald not be
given up ; also that he protested against the mili
tary occupation of his Consular apartments. B.i
the command cf the t eaerf.l officer, Mr. Couturie
was searched, the kty taken from him, the vault
opened, and the specie carried on. At half-past
six o'clock Mr. Couturie was .affirmed that hi was
at liberty. The first act on recovering Li3 free—
d*E was to strike hir flag, red.to draw un m ao
ootsi of the procesdin s. The monev ‘held by
the Consul belonged to the banking h. use of
Hope, of Amsterdam, enl had been deposited
vrite the Consul as the property of a subject cf

-v the meanwhile a detachment of soldiers wus
stationed at the doors of the Canal Hack, corner
ol Camp and Oravier streets, and a; the private
banking houses of 3am Smith & Cos., next door to
tue Canal_Bank. At about half-past three o’clock,
F. >•., j Federal picquet was placed under the
porch and at the doors of the building situated
corner cf Magazine and Natchez streets, occupied
by the French and Spanish Consuls, with their re
spective flags floating from it. Soon after the
Federal sentinels were withdrawn br order or

somewhat excited unexpected event, re
frained, as we learn, from ail untoward or intern
perate demonstrations. Notes have been ex
changed between the French ana Spanish Consuls
on the one hand, and the Commander-iu-Chief on
the other, but of their contents we are not a i
vised. All the foreign Consuls have had a con
ierence in reference to the circumstances above
narrated. We have stated the facts to the best of
our kuowledge, and refraiu from all comment for
obvious reasons
Geu. Butler publishes in the Sunday papers a
lengthy notice, the main object of which 13 to an
nounce bis intention to distribute among the poor
and destitute of our city a quantity of beef and'
sugar captured by the United Stat .-s" forces. The
work will be commenced this day at the Custom
house, from 9 A. M. to 1 P. M., where ail appli
cants lor aid, who are provided with proper cre
dentials, will be entitled to a share of the provi
sions. In the official notice, it intimated that the
poor of New Oilcans have been wheily neglected
bj the “rebels.” We have only to cal! Genera!
Butler’s attention to the fact that since the month
of August there has been in regular operation in
this city a ‘ Free Market,” supplied exclu ivffiy
fr;m voluntary contributions, and which is stilt in
existence. Twice a week between 1700 and 1900
persons have had their basket.3 tilled with meat
vegetables and othqj-articles of food. It is esti
mated that, between five and six thousand indi
viduals are nurtured through the liberality of the
city and country.
A change tias taken place in the military gov
ernment of our city. Gen. Butler, m a special
notice, marked No 24, of General Orders, an
nounces the appointment of Acting Brig.’Gen.
Geo. F. Sheplev, Colonel 12th Regiment,"Maine*

leans. It is rumored that Gen. B. contemplates
establishing his head-quarters at some point
across the Take. A residency at any one of the
watering places would be far more agreeable than
exposure to the heas, dust, and uncleaniiness of
New Orleans during the perilous months of sum
mer.
The Mississippi is still extraordinarily high and
has broken thiough the levee in various places,
both above and below. We have not heard
whether the crevasse in the parish of Iberville
has been closed. That at, Story’s plantation, in
Plaquemine, is stopped ; but another has taken
place on the right bank of the river, in the same
parish. We anticipate, however, a speedy fall in
the pretensions of the “Father of Waters.”

the following from the Philadelphia Sunday
Transcript , of April 2 :
There has been on exhibition for several days
in the Treasury bmldiei Washington, one of
the most remarkable woVkh of inventive genius
which has ever coins under our observation. It
is nineteen years since Tnnbey’s revolving steel
or irou batteries were invented," models made, and
all the details laid before our Government: and
it is eighhyears since they were communicated to
the French Government. ' The present model was
finished in December last, and is of itself a beau
tiful and demonstrative exhibition of the manner
that harbor and other defensive positions must,
before long, be fortified, and thus rendered im
passable to any foreign foe. The vertical sides
are pierced for sixty guns of nnydesirable calibre
and range of shot and shell arranged in three
tiers, and presenting the guns to the object sin
gle; that is but one “port” in line of sight at a
time.
The vrkoie. superstructure, which 13 to be above
ground, is made to turn on its vertical axis by a
concealed steam power, say three hundred horse
engine ; which engine is also to force hot or coid
air through the casements for the benefit of the
garrison. The guns occupy galleries of equal
height—in three tiers. When the structure is put
iu .motion, the whole number of guns will bear on
the object every two minutes, it it only revolves
at the rate of one hundred and fifty feet in a min
ute, or one fourth speed of a man at an ordinary
walk. The officer in command takes his position
in the top of the iron castle, where, under the up
per dome, there is a narrow opening through
which the light enters, and permits him to see out
through a telescope, or theodolite, which instru
ment is fixed iu position on a stand and platform,
which platform moves by the hand ol the com
mander-turning a slight wheel—on its vertical
axis, independent of the moving of the castle by
the motion of the steam engine.
The result i3, that the operator, having deter
minened the micrometer of the theodolite the dis
tance to be hit outside of the castle, telegraphs
to ea -h gunner the angle ot elevation or depres
sion, to set the guns, and being loaded, be seta
the castle in revolution by signal to the engineer,
and when each gfiti falls into the same vertical
line on the object, or target, the gun mat that in
stant fired by an electric spark which ignites the
priming of each gun in turn, as it bears on its ob
ject in a word, there will be a continuous
stream of the heaviest metal discharged from the
largest guns that can be made or used anywhere,
at any object witnin range, and at any point of
the compass, without the slightest possible dan
ger or inconvenience to the persons who are to
occupy the inside of the walls and dome of this
mighty engine of war.

Hon. J. P. Bet-jan'.in : —The Governor of Louis

in the Mississippi river up to the mouth of Red
river has beeu burnt, and all on its tributaries is
ready for the torch. He issued a proclamation
ordering its destructinn in the event it could not
be removed into the interior, but the spontaneous
action of the people anticipated his order. We

Latest fiiom Portsmouth.— We have intelli
gence from Portsmouth as late as ituoday, 10 . A
to. Up to that hour our informant states tha
Confederate flags were flying all over the city, bu
that the gridiron banner was nowhere to be’Veen
All the cotton and naval stores of every descrip
tion, were burnt., and the tobacco was placed b£-
y tid the reach of the invaders, by knocking the
ends from, the boxes and pitching them into the
Elir.ibeth. The people generally Buomitted ’o
this execution of the Government’s orders with
out a murmur. XV e heard of but one or two in
stances where objection was interposed, and in
these the Provost Marsnal quickly settled matters
by the aid of an armed force.
The destruction of the Navy Yard and a.l the
buildings, iuclud ng store?, timber, etc , was com
pute. The officers’ quavers m the Yard were
spared for two or three reasons—the most potent
being the dangerous proximity of the buildings
near, owned by private citizens. There are coa«
flirting reports relative to the burning of the ele
gant Nava! Hosp tal, just below Portsmouth.—
Horae say t at it has bean burned, others say not.
On'; statement is that a squadron of the Massa
chusetts cavalry slept in r e Naval Hospital
Saturday night.
\\ p have no later reliable information from Nor
tu!k, t' that already given, there are many r;i
n.ors._ One is that the Atlantic and Nation*! Ho
tels, Norfolk, have been burnt. Another is, that
the Confederate flags were fluttering to the breeze
tfaere more profusely than at Portsmouth. And a
third ,s, that one Gen. B. llow, or Barlow, has
been proclaimed MiliStry Governor of the city.
If the latter, we hope it is not the famous “'Billy.”
We are again assured by these likely to know,
that nothing of value in either the Quarterma-tar
or Commissary’s Department at Norfolk was left
to the invaders. Here, as in Portsmouth, the
cotton, etc., was all burnt. It is stated by au
hundred or more persons that a man in Norfolk,
a well known dealer in West India fruit, before
the blockade, was bung by order of the military
authorities for his outspoken sympathy with the
Lincoln cause; and that a man recently employed
in the Navy i ard n med Maboue was shot through
the bead for a similar offence.
the prr prietor of the Day Book, Mr. Hathaway,
has determined to remain in No-, tola and publish
the Day Bock, if the Lincoln authorities will per
mit. He will now be enabled to procure the late
Northern news without trouble.

LATE Vs FROM CORINTH.
Corinth, May 14th. — I have yet no general en
gagement to report, though the position cf affairs
is such that one may be brought onatvy moment.
We hare had considerable skirmi.-' -ing for some
days past; without any important result. The
Confederate scouts captured one hundred and fifty
beeves belonging to tli« enemy to-day. IV e have
also captured seventy prisoners near Paris.
New York papers, spirited over the lice, con
tain European accounts to the 27th ultimo. The
London Times considers the check of the If ■. dei
als at Shiloh as equivalent to a Confederate vic
tory.
The steamer Tubal Cain had left Liverpool for
Nassau with a heavy cargo of arms and ammuni
tion.
The Times sees nothing iu reserve for tin? ne
groes but slavery, extermination, or expulsion
from the South.
Alread’s paper will soon appear in London to
advocate the Confederate cause. P. W. A.
