My Deer S ’rter: As it may be a very long time ,j’;e we again have an opportunity of writing to you, Ma has made us all promise to drop you a imp; so i! a rather corpulent budget comes to land, ■ provided it is not kidnapped in the mean | time.,i don’t be frightened. Yon see by the da ' ting of my letter that we have moved—family, j nouee, 6errant3 and ail—into Yankee i&ca. We ’ i .m miy about a thousand miie3 farther fr.-.u. you , j than when we uvea in Huntsville. It b n t -jo-w , { io easy to receive letters from ones frueds, nor , to send any off to them. Indeed, the portion of j the United States which we live in now is deci- i I -leoiy one of the most of. of tbe way jl-.ces I j | v.v set n.

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.

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.

Your Lotxno Sisras 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, . if **.•»«•“**■ 'lTtoe gatiM «sl JeWiamiJ**' 4 * 31 - eoajNTii, May 10. 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. P. W. A. Prisoners Returned.— A boat v/ith 14 lata pris oners, released by the Yankees at Ship Island, ar rived at tho city this morning. , They were put ashore, with six others, at Mississippi City Fri day, and hearing of a laige boat in the Back Bay of Biloxi, left there by two deseiters from tits licet, they took possession of it, and managing to collect half a dozen oars, they started yesterday 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. Funnt. —A correspondent of an exchange pa per savs : We recollect a Secretary of the United States Navy many Tears ago, who, when a war vessel came up thelPotomac, went aboard in his official capacitY. He was received with a salute, and es corted'over the vessel with ail the ceremony proper for such an occasion ; finally looking down a hatchway he started back with astonishment aud exclaimed :—“Good God, she’s hollow, This discovery in naval architecture quite over threw him ; “it came upon him like a flash of fire and almost froze his blood.” The wife of Singer, ;the sewing machine man, has obtained a divorce, the court decreeing an alimony of tfiOOO per annum for her.

'iocar * 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 press, 16f5.

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?

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.

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.

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* Volunteers, ss Military Commandant of New Or 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.” _ < [iV. O. See, nth. Ksvolvinq Stebl and Iron Forts. —Wo clip 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. Destruction of > otton in the South —ffbe following is a copy of a diEpatch, dated Camp Moore, LaMay Bth, received in Riehraond May 9th : Hon. J. P. Bet-jan'.in : —The Governor of Louis iana directs me to inform you that all the cotton in the Mississippi river up to the mouth of Red river has beeu burnt, and all on its tributaries is ready for the torch.

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. \fetertburg Expreat. Stavmpdsbs Released. —We learn that about 300 of the prisoners, captured by Capt.
