MiLLtDOKViLLt, Ma'ch 20.
Tho number of visitors at the Capital is very
stnull, and everything wears the quiet aspect for
which our metropolis is proverbial Every train
brings np a few “ stragglers,” and the attendance
whio h , especially in the llonte, oousti uted a bare
quorum this morning, promises to be quite full.
The weather is pleusani, the hotels are not
crowded, the fare is good, the charges us moder
ate as the times will allow, ($4 a day to members,
$0 a day to transient guests,) and everything
promises a pleasant and m treating session.
The rtc ut change in the mails isolates toe
capital still more than e ver from the world of
news. There is but one mail <wday here, which
arrives at 10 o’clock, a. m., and leaves ut 2 p. m.
This will account for any deny that may aeeiu to
attend the reception ot correspondence.
Members bring from ail sections cheering ac
counts of the wheat crop, and what is still better,
they report —with the exception of a few of the
upper counties—an abundance of proTisious in
the coantry, provided those who hoid it can be
made to disgorge.
As the work of the session is not mapped out,
the proceedings thus far possess little interest,
aud f need not til! your space with crude specula
tions as to what is likely to be done. The com
mittees are busy maturing measures relative fa
the subjects for which the session was called, and
by Monday business will begin to move forward
It is too late to restrict the planting of cotton, for
it is already in the ground in tho cotto -giowing
region, uud it is likely that the policy of a heavy
tax ou the amount grown will be reported to The
distillers are playing a strong ame, and will be
dealt with nnsparugly. The great question of
the session is the indorsement ol Confederate
bonds, and this subjrct is likely to occupy two or
three weeks. There is every prospect that the
session will be a long one.

A correspondent cf the Columbus Suuwri esas
follows from Marianna, Fla., Maich 24th :
Sines the bteaking up ot the salt works, at St.
Andrews Bay, by the Yankees, all lia3 . een quiet
along thi3 part of the coast. The Yankees, how
ever, would occasionally come ashore, an i cam
out such depn dalions is they could, in the way
of killing stock, ano damaging the buildings at ibe
town o’. St. Andrews. Ktceuily they began to get
quite bold—and a few of them would venture a
sho-e aaywhere. Last Friday, Capt. W. J. Rib
inson, with 20 men, while on a scout, discovered
a boat, with about 20 or 21> men approaching the
shore ; he ambushed his in n, aud waited their
landing, which they Boon effected. After landin ;
they st rted in the direction of a herd o: ca. le,
wheuOapt. U. showed himseif, and demanded their
surrender; they wore completely surprised, threw
down their arms end ruu ior their boats, Gapt R.
ordered his m9c to lire and ssv. n pf the V ankees
were shot down, the others surrendered, and ask
id permission to go to the assistance of one of
their men, that w. re wounded, and about to be
drowned. Capt. K allowed them to go, but in
stead ol assisting the wounded mau, they got a
board of .he bout.
The captain killed one of them after he got
aboard; tney lost their colors, und they arc now
in the possession of Major Bcoit, t’osnmunJant of
tlrs district. The exact number kill- and is not
kuown, as there was certaiuiy some killed on the
ooat; they attempted repe- tedly to fire the can
non, but as fast as they wcu.d show themselves,
they were saotd nyn by the men on shore.

Due ot the gunboats succeeded in passing tbi
batteries in a crippled condition, and is < o in
the trap somewhere betwe-o ibat point and Vi ks

not be seen what boat ii w-s tbu wen by, but it
is supposed to tiaTe b-.eo the hes?x tihe is now
in u bad fix for herself, but in a very good local
ity for us; and if the (j e nos th* West nnd the
rest of our Confederate fleetdo not gobble her be
fore she can complete her repairs, I oin very much
mistaken. We aranow in a fai- way of soon add
ing another iron ciao to our fleet. Bye and bye
the lndianola will be afloat again, an > then ons
or two additional boats that theY’ankees may fur
nish, will give us quite a formidarle squadron ;
and when manned by the dauntless Confederate
horse marine*, tuere is no telling what may be
accomplished.
Gen Grant is still engaged in philosophising
on lie peninsula opposite Y'ick buig. He is no
doubt patiently waiting ft* t e success u! and noue
ment ot the expedition against ’he V zoo river;
but the news from that quarter cannot ba very
encouraging to him, as the gunboats us well• as
his troops have been gallon ly and successtnily
repulsed. He is no doubt also greail v interested m
Com. F'arragut’s attempt of coming up the river,
and in this his prospects must also look rather dis
couraging; aud the e.iacce for aisistauce from
that quarter are very slim, if he should get
through his canal m order to go down to Gen.
Banks' assistance, he might have some hope at
les.Bt ,if getting something to do for his troops.—
But us they would rather .di round Vicksburg
than light their way info it, we are led to appre
hend no immediate attack on this piece.
Bright and cheerful spring days have placed a
smile of gladness upon the face oi Daiure, and
everything wears an enchanting aad lovely as
pect. Even the ugliness of the enemy across the
r.ver loses its hideousness in a giu.it measure
when surveyed on a beautiful clear day. la the
absence of any active hostilities, the enrmy is‘no
doubt engaged’n nursing the sick and burying
the dial, which occupies a large snare ol their
lime.
A deserter from their camp made his way
across the river lately, s ad brings the some intel
ligence as his prcdecest "a about the disaffection
and mortality in the camp ; bus knows nothing
of the plana of General Grant in taking Vicks
burg. This man has been in the service but a
short time, being one of tho new conscripts, and
opposed to tois fighting business. He refused to
volunteer, and kept cut of the toils of the Yank s
Government us long as he coaid, but the cc
script on took him :nolens volent, and be embrace t
the first opportunity to make his escape. There
aupears to ba but little activity among, the
Yankees on the peninsula at present, and prob
abiy they are waiting for the success of the Yazoo
liver expedition.
Why do not ths Yankees commence the de
moustruti m which they came to make, and tak
the thrashing which is cine them, and go home?
They ought to know that we do ot want them
here, keeping ns in suspense. They have fooled
away too much of our time already ; lo it is near
ly a year since they first a.tempted to terrify us,
at the beginning of which tme they might have
taken this city of a hundred hills with great, ease
and at very little expense. They had gunboats
and transports and men, and all other convent
enc's in great abundance, while we had but little
more than nothing wherewith to defend the place
against them ; but they fooled away the preciors
t*me, aud now it i3 too into.
There iifm doubt that an effort is now bring
made lo get through the canal. Oae of t eir
boats, supposed to bs a dredge, has been engage
in digging in it for some time, and a f w cays a o
she made a trip some and stance down he canal, to
with in range ol our guns Hie was no all wed
to approach the lower end, b call e cur batter ee
opened upon and drove her back When sb

It is very apparent that the expedition which is
operating through Yazoo Bass was not drawn
from that part of the army and fleet which has
been lying in front of Vick: barg tor the lasi two
mouths, and if Gen Grant liv.i nil, an ass -uit he
is no ■ ruin as well prepared for it now as it h<s
whole sriuy was couce. irated hero. What his
plans ere co one knows, but hs is certin !y de
termined to reduce this point by some means,
whether foal or fair, only so that accomplish
ed.
Tho operations on Deer Creek have not yet been
fully ascertained, but ass ras I can learn, it ap
pears that the enemy followed out the programme
everywhere eise moptsd by the Abolition.sts of
devastation, plunder, mcend.arism, and every
other crime in the catalogue of human ingenuity.
Plantations are utterly and .-troy- and and iheproprie
tors and occupants are driven fanli in want and
distress.
Everything here bears a warlike look, and the
continual booming ot cannon, occasional rote- ot a
mor.ar, and the bursting of shells, reminds the
den zens of the hills, that a desperate effort is be
ing made on the part of th? enemy to gam posses
sion of our fair heritage. The precise plan of at
tack is not yet known, but ia becoming more and
more developed every day, ana points to a byjra
headed attempt to approach from all the four
quarters of the compass.
llow far the enemy may succeed in eii.b r of
theso operations remains to he seen. Ho far he
has been checked in every oae, and the prospects
are that he will be unable to accomplish any of
his designs Irom either direction. Wo have the
requisite knowledge of the country, the energy in
our cdicers and the courage iu toe troops to meet
the enemy at every point, and we have no appre
hensions cf the result of ihe battle.
' The general activity of the enemy leaves uo
doubt that he is now in motion to consummate
his great enterprise of capturing Vicksburg, ilia
fleet and hia army are both actively engaged iu
movements which point to au eariv advaoce. A
fight occur; ed Saturday morning at Grand Gulf,
near the month of Dig Black river. The 1 urkee
vessels are slowly pursuing their course up the
river. As they are cow between our batterhs at
Grand Gulf and those at Vicksburg, n is hardly
possible that they can escape capture or destruc
tion.
from reports of canacn and fire-arms on S>a*ur
day night iu the direction of Y iz-oc, it is thought
that s.-veral brigades of ou- troops m that region
have engaged the freebooters who have boen
comm tlmg depredations aronud Deer Creek, and
made them take to tho water or he doyn and die.
At any rate we hope so.
On Sunday, several of the Federal gunboats ielt
their position at the bead of the c. nu and steamed
no the Mississ’ppi, bound, we suppose, to tee

The Ab'dit’on invader has again tff-cted a land

a emy ha.-ug bad undisputed control of toe

mi been at ttie'r me.cy. Consequenty they
■ .uded with tciountering any opposition. The
ires oi the enemy consists of two negro Regi
urn s, commanded by white officers. Coi-_ H g

tiiese Et ilop an troops.

oica. ltd oy B ig. Gen Fiaegan in parson. Ills
valiant Etfiiop.ans were immediately panic strick
xe -, ana tied precipitately to the towa and sought
e ugd on board their gunboats. Several ot the
o acx troops, and one white captain wtre killed,
,nd great nutnDers were wounded. Our loss wns
oue killed, Dr. Meredith of Tamp3, a worthy and
estimable voung gentleman.
Oa the lti.h lust., five hundred of the enemy
proceeJi-d to a point known as the “ Brick
Üburcb,” one mile west of Jacksonville, and st
acked a force ol one hundred aud fifty of Msj. E.
W. Brevard’s Bat alion. The enemy were soon
repulsed, and again driven to their gunboats.
Another attack is daily expected.
Tne enemy are said to have been reinforced by
a white regiment—the 7th Connecticut, frem Fer
uandtna. We feel abundantly able to drive the
enemy back whenever he sees fit to attack us.—
Our sire gtb is ample for the preseut force cf the
enemy, end I think a ’‘little more so,” but of this
time will determine.
It is conjectured by many that the object of the
enemy is to attempt the carrying into efl'ect cf his
long threatened project of colonizing Florida. It
so, they are encountering unexpected obstacles at
the very tbiesbold, and if I could get the ear of
their commanding officer,! would say to him that
he may possibly iiud them more numerous, ana it
poesibl- ~ more difficult in surmounting as he pro
gresses into the interior.
>‘•B are having delig-tful spring weather just ,
now. Vegetation is unusually forward. We have
bat few cotton planting trmio s in cur State.—
But these tew are marked. “Yevg once is mine,” i
saith the Lord. Let the Cotton planting individ- ,
uul, everywhere, beware. A day of reckoning (
will sorely come. The half-starved soldier has
an ey eou all such worthies. The man who plants ‘
Cotton, ns Weil as’the extortioner, will sooner or j
later meet their reward.

A letter in the Mobile N«ws, from Tullahomn,
seems to apprehend that Rosencrarz is making
such a diposition of his lores as will make a
ahautw of our lines necessary. It is stated that
the advance of the enemy in such force indicates
very plainly that he is about to open communica
tion along the line of the Southern Central rail
road through Columbia to Decatur, and throw bis
forces westfrom Murfreesboro, so us to compel
Bragg to change his now too formidable posi
tion.

At our latest advices there were nine gunboats

The Franklin (.La.,) Ij inner says Gen. Sibley
has established hie lieadquarteis at this place and
has gone to work like a business man and a sol
dier to pat that section of country in a good con
dition to meet Banks’ 20,0.0 men, come in what
shape soever they may. The General has inspir
ed confidence all through the coantry. The pen
pie now have a prospect of making crops, and en
joying the products of their labor.
Toe prospects are now said to be excellent for
crops iu ail part3 of Texas and so they were last
year at th'3 period.
The small pox is raging in various^, sections of
Texas.
Toe Confederate States Commissioner, J. A.
Quintero, had returned from Montgomery. It
was believed that he bad set on foot arrangenierds
to secure the friendship's of the people on the
Mexican side of the river.
The Texas papers advocate a heavy tax. They
thi 'k this is the only way to make the currency
right, and remedy matters gen-rally.
G *n. Magi uder has ordered that, if the militia
w: Icli have been called out for the defense of
Texas, will organise into companies, and have
their arms, ammunition, equ page, etc., boxed
and Sint to the ordnance office at Houston, they
may be disbanded und allowed to return homr.
They wiii be required to muster once a week, in
order to be prepared to go into action whenever
called upon; but the “arrangement is made in the
hope aud expectation that the militia wiii not be
cubed away again from their industrial pursu.ts.”
During the past f- w weeks they have had heavy
rains throughout Texts—more than has fallen for
gome ye.rrd. All the creeks and rivers are so full
that communication is interrupted on the siege
and Railroad routes. The crops in Texa3 always
yield more bountifully after a wet winter.
Uniy eleven gentlemen have thus far announced
