jdunt of the Mobile Advertiser fur
niithw that paper with an interesting account
of a trip up the Mississippi- It shows that the
people of the two nations are as distinct as if
they had never livej together and experienced
the mutual pleasure of fleecing and bciDg
fleeced.
On Friday we took passage from Memphis on
the beautiful river palace Belle Memphis. How
..uickly was the line of dernai katiori drawn be
tween the two classes—Northern, and South
ern the former overbearing and inquisitive :
the latter independent but cautious. Fortu
nately quite a number of the old dwellers of
the sunny South were on board, and we had a
pleasant little clique of our own. and among
ourselvss talked over the topi' nearest our
hearts, while searching Yankee eve:- gleamed
at our party with suspicion. It is surprising
how soon c-ach imds his own party element, and
even on this Government boat how rapidly the
opposing elements of -oeietv discover and
heartily hate each other with" mutual hitter
ness. There is hut little association between
the opprer-or and the oppressed, the latter
with dignified huulrur evading the aggressive
■advances of the other. From the lips of the
patty on the Ofqssite side of the cabin, com
posed chiefly of officers' wives, we frequently
catch such eloquently malignant lunguage ole
nervations as “dirty seceslij" -'wish the gueril
las would let flicker and hit them and one
mwoau, whoso little girl was nearing our part,
s lied out—‘-Come back here, you little devil '
don’t 1 tell you those are the dirty ‘secesh’ that
broke up the Fnion and lmm the boats .’'’—
Without giving evidence of hearing their 1 vri
jeuage, the little party of patriots conversed on
in whispers, iike a small band of Italians in
Venice while under the searching eye of thr
Austrian oppre -or. True, this is submission
to the tyrant’s power, but the deep sentiment
4>r hatred which is revealed in the gleaming,
eye, betokens the presence of that spirit of pa
triotism which will yet nerve each arm to strike
once more lor liberty ! When the supper-table
has been cleared, an excellent negro string
liand strikes up the enlivening air of cm
■'’Dixie,'’ and the festive dance beginr, It is
observable that each party introduces its mem
bers in the dance, and the same stern htoiteur is
-observed, which permits of no compromise be
tween these embittered enemies. Sharp anom
aly they dance bnt will not speak ! The sub
jected party waits until Tlie vile Yankee op
juessors have locked themselves within their
state-rooms and then the dulcet tones of South
ern girls ring out upon the midnight air the
inspiriting "Southerns hear your counlry oill
■you and having thus given vent to their
pent-up feelings, and expressed their gratifica
tion, eath. with a warm shake of the hand, bids
the other good night. There is a boml between
them stronger than friendship—a sympathy' in
their oppression ; the high resolve of patrict
. Ism ; a laith strong as lift* itself, that the day
of their disentliralmeut draws-nigh, and that
Iheir release will he the signal for tltetil to
wreak vengeance upon the oppressors.
Hut few Yankee officers are travelling upon
the boats, anil fortunately they do not inflict
xheir hated presence upon those who are quar
tered in the ladies’ cabin, but show their mean
instincts by walking around behind and peep
ing in ut tiie windows, just as when, in ttie
South, they go to the negro quarters or admit
themselves at the hack entrance—a sense of
their own meanness restraining them from act
ing us white people. A special Government
jigont is on board each boat for the purpose of
examining baggage, and a rigid search is made
lor silver ware, more especially, as the Yan
kees have a presentment that large quantities
of family plate owned by rebels are sent north
ward to relatives for safety. So when silver
ware is discovered the unlucky possessor be
comes dispossessed and is informed that metal
lie charms are especially pleasing to “the
Government.’’ Without misstatement this is
■actually the principal incentive for keeping
>uiok agents upon the I mats. In coming down
the river all goods arc taxed live jicr cent., and
care is taken that no smuggling is carried on.
belli baggage and state-room berths being
. carefully examined. A lady bringing with her
goods which are Dot made up subjects them to
confiscation. Those who are wise are careful
to oversee tlio examination of their baggage, or
they will find such little valueless articles as
money, gold, and jewels very apt to take flight
with the honest agent of his country. Xo pass
ports or papers ot any kind are required in
order to travel the river ; tail any intimation
that you arc from the “land of cotton, persim
mon seed, and sandy bottom,” will insure a

the innumerable detective force.
I'ort J’iltow, I observed, in coming >4l, was
completely dismantleil, ami but little remains
to retail the formidable fortress which once
forbade the navigation of the Mississippi. A
regiment or so cf cavalry ore quartered some
where in the vicinity for the purpose of keeping
guerillas from halting the boats at such a favor
able point for their cqierations. Wonderful
stories are related to you on board the boats of
•the action of these bands, and a wholesome
four prevails that each boat will prove the next
-victim. To so great an extent does this pre
vail, together with the effects of boat burning,
that all who can avoid travelling on the river,
-and there are but few who do not take the rail
road from St. Louis to Cairo witli an idea to
personal safety. Whenever a man on horse
back is observed upon the hauls of the river
the fears of Captain and passengers arise, and
are not quieted until the frightful object is
safely passed.
The famous Island No. It) his degenerated
from one of freedom’s watch towers to a negro
colony. Here the subjects of the “peculiar
institution" have ' been.peculiarly treated by
the Yankee powers. This barren sand-bar is
• the veal bouafide Garden of Eden of the negroes,
'where Abolition equality and Yankee philan
thropy display themselves under the most
favorable aspects. An encampment of about
. mne lmndied and fifty tents, spreading itself
over thoutire length of the Island, is inhabited
bv an average of seven hundred contrabands,
■ who are furnished by the Government, with
rations and clothing, and bycertan Abolition
4'hristian societies with white teachers.
Large numbers of boats ply the river, and
there is really so little opposition mettlmt from
Memphis to St. Louis navigation is safe to a
greater degree than it should be.

.Si ATisnoa or M oo. —From lin' l’aris cor
respondent. of t lie New York Daily Nows, we
give the subjoined interesting extract.:
As all eyes and thoughts are now directed to
ward the new empire, (Mexico,) the following
tacts and tig it res will not be without interest to
your “business community.”
In LS.'rfi. the imports of Mexico arc set down
by Sen or Lenin Tejada, at $20.01)0,000, and the
exports at $28,000,000. Os the former, Eng
land suppled $!2,.>00,000, or nearly the half,
and of the total exports and imports she en
grossed 000.000. The liabilities of Mexico
arc as nearly as possible as follows :
Tlie bonded debt ami arrears of in
terest, $00,000,000
British Convention, 5,0(10,000
Spanish Convention and arrears. 7,000,000
French Claims, ] 2,000,01)6
British Claims, 11,000,000
Spanish Claims, 11,000,000
American and other claims, 0,000,000
Laguna. Sicca and Capuchinos rob
beries, 1.000,000
Total, $117,000,000
It therefore appears that England is not only
interested to as great an extent as all the rest
of the world put together in the trade of Mexi
co, Imt that out of a debt of $117.0o(),(t00, she
is entitled to receive, at the very least, $70,-
ouu.oon. These are startling facts.
Now, we liud that under the Spanish rule (tie
revenue of Mexico averaged about $20,000,000,
width was applied in the following manner,
viz . $10,500,000 in defraying the expenses of
the government, $0,000,000 towards the sup
port of her Spanish colonies, and the residue
was remitted to the royal treasury at Madrid.
Senor Garay, minister of finance in 18.31.
states that the maritime custom house in his
time, properly administered, have produced
815,000,000 annually—that is to say Very Crux
$s,000,000; Tartlpieo and Matamoras, SI,OOO -
000; Alvarda, Cain peachy, Ac., $1,000,000; and
tin- Pacific ports $2,000,000.
Such being the present of Mexico, let us
consider what might lie her future. It is a well
known fact, corroborated by the highest possi
ble authority (Baron tliimboldt.jjthat two thirds
of the s-lvev ever in circulation or upwards of
$3,000,000,000, lms been the province of Mexi
can mines, and when it is Considered that the
mineral wealth of Mexico can scarcely he said
to have been explored, nnd that the richest
portion of tlre Kingdom, viz: Sonora. Sinaloa,
and pail of Chihuahua, still remains a tfrra
inCOijniii, we may almost he excused tor indul
ging in a fear expressed many years hack by
Humboldt, that - should the mineral wealth of
Mexico lie ever thorough y explored. Europe
would l>e inundated with the precious metals.”
Bosidis this inexhaustible wealth in precious
metal, the agricultural products of Mexico are
not only varied and abundant, but they em
brace tiie most important and prontable staples
in the world, including cotton, eotlee, and to
bacco: and to these may he added cochineal,
indigo, jaiop, vanilla, and numberless other
articles of great- commercial value. Mexico,
with a population of 8.000,000. imports at the
rate of a little bettor than $;! per head; when it
is considered that the Brazils imjKirt at the rate
of $8 Ul), and Chili at sl2 70 per head, some
idea may be of what the trade with
Mexico might become under proper manage
ment. With importations at the same rate as
those of Chili, site would consume $105,000,000
mutually: and with a mining population, natu
rally given to display, and proverbially lavish
of expenditure, supplied by a proper develop
ment of the resources of tile countiy, with the
means of indulging their propensities, there is
no reason why Mexico should not become a
greater consumer than either of the countries
above alluded to.
Tee- Rescue of the Chesapeake Pkisonrrr. —
The Lincoln Government- does not appear to
relish the rescuing of the Confederate?, who
captured the Chesapeake, by .some of the sub
jects of Johnny Bull, at Halifax. Northern pa
pers have already commenced growling over
tin- matter. The Washington Chronicle. Lin
coln s Organ, ixmiments on tlie subject thus :
M e are not (iis|sised tnchargc.upohn the Eng
h-u ('Oi .‘i-nment the sympathy ot the mob, or,
it >ou will, the people ot Halifax, with the
murderers and pirates ca]>tured in the Chesa
peake. and violently rescued when surrendered
to the an thorites of that British city .uul prov
tm-e. Such things are possible in all cities and
tinder all governments, and, before condemning
the Government authorities for what inav have
been a surprise to them, just a? were the riots
in New York to our authorities, it is only fair
to wait ard see what action is taken in the mat
ter. It the utmost efforts are not made to ar
n-st the ringleaders in the rescue, aud to hold
them responsible. England will place herselt in
a bad position before ihe world, aud give the
l ailed States gTave reason for offence.

The Columbus Sun speaks thus ol ’he new

The Eagle Mills have determined to establish
a free bool tor the poor of our city. The board
to which they have entrusted its management
consists of Rev. Mr. Key. Messrs Wise. Wilcox,
anil Dr. Woodruff, with Rev. Mr. Devotie as
President. For temporary purposes, the Meth

cured; *nd Mr. Sartwvll, well known among
our citizens as an able and attentive instructor. |
has been employed as teacher : and the school i
will be opened next Monday week. Here is an
opportunity for al! the poor youths ol our city
to be educated, and then become ornaments to
any society or community. This praiseworthy
scheme, we understand, originated with Messrs.
Gunby, Browne, and Young, gentlemen of ex
tensive means and large hearted, full souled
philanthropy. This school is the most lasting
monument which could be erected to their
memories—one that will endure while proud
mausoleums crumble into dust. The Mills, as
soon as possible, will erect a suitable building.
The examples set by the Eagle Mills Compa

Finley, a Marylander, thirty-six years of age,
who bad gone to North Carolina to stay until
this war is over, was ordered out recently to
do service in the Home Guard at Asheville
N. C. He refused, was arrested, # sited out a
writ of habeas corpus, and the following was
the result:
The Chief Justice detides that Finley is not
'simply a foreigner, who is resident here like
an Englishman or Frenchman, hut lie is an
“alien enemy,” here hy permission of our
Government, and not liable to military service.
According to his construction of the act estab
lishing the Home Guard, he thinks that an En
glishman or a Frenchman who had resided here
lor thirty days would be bound to serve; but
citizens like Finley, who are alien enemies,
“residing among us by permission of our Gov
ernment, cannot bv any but direct and une
quivocal words, be forced into our armies to
repel invasion; and it is to be presumed that
whenever their presence is supposed toA-wlau
ger the public safety, the permission to reside
lit re will bo withdrawn, and the Government
will require them as alien enemies to depart,”
In our opinion Mr. Finley ought to be per
milted to withdraw at once from the Con fed
eraey. If lie declines doing so. a little force
should be added to accelerate his movements
Northward. If the gallant Marylanders in oily
armies had an opportunity to decide unliiscaw
we do not think lie would be able to travel
very fur after they had got through with him.
Tice Cost ok War.—A half century ago war
compared with what il. is now was rather econo
mical. At all events, tho present war is tlie
dearest of all wars that have preceded it. A
Virginia paper says :
The last nine months of our conflict np.to
< let. 30th, cost us §519,368,659, or about §!.-
567,659 per day. One year's warfare, at, the.
same rate, would cost §572,195,035. This docs
not include the loss of pioperty in the territo
ry upon which the war is waged, nor the loss
iu material wealth anil development suffered by
the iuiiii'-nse drain which a war like tho present
makes upon the labor of a country. These are
almost incalculable. If it lie any consolation
to us, however, we find that tho cost ot tlie
war to our enemy has been even greater, for,
against our §572,000,000 or a little upwards,
the Yankees have expended more Hum $900,-
000,000 the last vital- in the vain elfoit to en
slave 11s. These figures exceed any examples
in the history of modern warfare. During the
last, four years of the war between England
and France, the former expended in 1812,
8517,107,669; in L--13. §601,763,285 ; in li-ili,
$581,219,445 ; and in 1815. $582,555,255 We
are told that (luring the whole series of wars
in which England was engaged from 180:: U>
1815 inclusive, she expended $5,798,645.280 ;
and during all this while, as well as lor long
years afterwards, the Bank us. England : which
bail rendered great service t**t!ie Government,
was compelled to suspend specie payment ; so
that paper money and credit, to a great extent,
kept up the gigantic struggle.
Provide ion the Aiimv.—Annexed is an ex
tract from a letter written by Gen. Johnston
to a gentleman in Atlanta:
”1 find the troops in general comfortably
clothed. A few hundred, however, are with
out blankets, and as many without slices. i
fear that the Quartermaster's Department will
not be tible to furnish the blankets soon, hut
wo are teceiviog ami expecting regular sup
plies, of shoes. Two benevolent ladies of < 'o
iumhus, Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Law, brought
us one hundred anil titty blankets, a few days
ago, collected by them at that place. .Might
not the same tiling be done in and about At
lanta ?”
Might not the same thing be done in‘and
about Augusta, and other places ? Every one
should assist in providing comfortable clothing
for our armies in the field.
Cotton in the Conekdeuacv.— I The quantity
of cotton in the Confederate States is variimsly
estimated. All agent sent by Seward, some
time ago, to New Orleans, to report upon the
cotton crop, puts down the crop of 18(71 at
4,0110,000 hales, and the amount then in out
hands at 3.500.00(1 bales. In an official paper,
upon the war in this countiy, laid bei'oie the
British Parliament the present year, are the es
timates of Mr. (.'ridland, late acting English
Consul at Mobile, and Mr. Bunch, for many
years Eng ish Consul at Charleston. The for
mer [mis down the quantity of cotton in the
Confederacy thcStli of August. 18112. at 3,000.-
000 hales: the latter, however; estimates it.
about the same time at 3,050,00f, bales. The
following is a statement which appeared a short
time back in the Manchester Examiner, derived
from a Confederate source:
Crop JSB 1 .3,500,000 hales.

Stork on baud Ist Sc]). 1803. 3,000,000 “
YtirUms estimates have appeared at different
times in Southern papers, many of which place
the quantity at 3,500,000 hales in the Confed
eracy* Perhaps an estimate at 5,000,000 the
Ist of January, 1834, will not he far wrong.
Os this amount the Government owns about
300,000 hales.— ll/oy.

than ftie one who sells at that price, liy buying

which is the chief purpc.se of the seller to pro

things would rapidly fail.

IK- was then chosen by the Wa* Department of
the United States as one of three promising
young officers to be sent to France to perfect
themselves in cavalry tactics. His companions
were i jptaiu Floyd Bell and Lieut. Newton,
and they entered the military school of Kan
Mur, where they remained until the fall of
1843? having acquired a thorough knowledge
of the cavalry tactics of the French army. On
his return lie joined his regiment, the .“second
Dragoons, at Fort Jessup. Louisiana, where he
remained until the opening of the Mexican war,
when his r> giment was ordered to Corpus Chris
ti. under Gen. Taylor. Soon after hostilities
commenced he was taken prisoner, while out
on a scouting party, near Matamoras. The
force was a small squadron of cavalry under
command of Captain Thornton, the next in
command being himse t. The party was led
astray through the carelessness of a Mexican
guide, and was soon surrounded by a largely
superior force of the enemy, when an attempt
was made to escape, in which Capt. Thornton
was thrown from his horse. The command then
devolved on Capt. Hardee, who seeing the per
ilous situation of his Mule force, dashed with it
to the bank of tlie llio Grande, for the purpose
of swimming the river, but the approaches to
the water were so boggy that it was impracti
cable. lie then turned, and finding escape im
possible, lie sent a flag of truce to Gen. Ampu
dia. tie- commander of the Mexicali forces, sav
ing that il bis command would be treated as
prisoners of war. lie would surrender, but oth
erwise they would cut their way out. The
terms were granted, and ho remained a prison
er sixteen days, at the expiration of which time
he was duly exchanged. He was treated with
much consideration by Ampudia white a pris
oner. He subsequently passed through the
principal battles of tlie war, receiving two bre
vets for gallantry in action. The State of
Georgia, at Ihe dose of the war, presented him
a beautifully chased sword, with' appropriate
inscriptions "as a testimonial ol his services.
In 1853. f.ieut. Col. Hardee was assigned by
Mr. Davis, tint then Federal Secretary at War
to tlie duty of arranging a system of tactics
for tlie tire of the army and militia of the
United States, and produced the Work which
lias since become a household word. "liar

doubt, not to appeu' us having a •■.rebel” as

In 18.iti, Old. Hardee was ordered to West
Point, where lie remained as commandant of
the corps cf Cadet< until the fall of 1860,
when he resigned his -commission in the l . S.
Aimy and returned to his native State. He
oftend bis services to Gov. Brown, and was by
him appointed senior Colonel of the Slate
forces. Shortly after ibis, the Provisonal Gov
ernment .was formed at Montgomery, and lie
was at once telegraphed for by President Da
vis. who ottered him the position of Inspector
and Adjutant General of the Confederate
Slates, the place since filled with so much sat
isfauion to the country by Gen. Cooper; but he
declined it, preferring “a {dace nearfrlie flash
ing ol Ihe guns.” He was then appointed
senior Colonel in the regular army and sent to
the command of Fort Morgan in Mobile bay.
He remained there until, July, 1861. when he
was appointed Brigadier General and ordered
to Arkansas where he organized a division of
Arkansi.nis and operated a short lime m South
ern Missouri. These Arkansians have since
shown tlie excellence of their drill and discip
line on every battlefield where they have been
engaged. A few mouths thereafter Hat dee
transit .led bis force to Bowling Green, Ky„
and formed a part of the army under Sydney
Johnston, lb- was here made a Major Gen
eral. After tin* reverse at Fort Donelson, he
conducted tire retreat of Johnston’s army from
Kentucky to Corinth. At the latter point, the
army was organized into three corps, command
ed lespeelivoly by Bragg, Polk and Hanky,
ami otiiler this organization it entered the
bloody battle of Shiloh. Hardee commanded
the advance corps and led in the attack.' The
country is familiar with the history of that bat
tle and the distinguished part taken by Gen
eral Hardee.
Alter the retreat from Corinth (he lastol May,
18112, tlie army lulled at Tupelo, Miss., at
which point Gen. Beauregard was relieved from
conroand and Gen. Bragg succeeded to it. One
of Gen. Bragg’s first ai ls was to make General
llardee (lie active commander of the Army of
the Mississippi; and in this position he contin
ued during the transfer of tlie army from Tu
pelo to Chattanooga, and until it was about to
move into Kentucky, when it was divided into
two wings, one under i’olk and the other under
Hardee. Tlie battle of Perry ville in October
following was fought principally by the troops
ot Hardee’s wing. It was a sp'endid field vic
tory, but achieved nothing, as the Confederates
were compelled to retreat the next day, tlie
combinations of the commanding General not
being carried out successfully. The anny reach
ed Knoxville IVoni its Kentucky campaign in
the latter part, of October, and soon thereafter
commenced the campaign of Middle Tennissee.
At the'battle of Murfreesboro, fought the last
day »>f 18(12 and the first, of 18(13, Uen. Hardee
commanded the left wing of the army; and here
again his command was eminently successful,
whilst the remainder of our forces were beaten.
He drove the enemy with heavy loss for lour
miles without check, defeating double hit num
bers, as was shown by captured papers, and
stopped only when the men were exhausted and
no reinforcements could be hail to meet tlie
fix sli lines of the enemy. The attack and sue
ecus of tlie left whig at Murfreesboro under Gen
Hardee was one of the most signal achievements
oi the war.
In July. 18(13. after Hie army had fallen back
from Tullahonia to Chattanooga, Gen. Hardee
was ordered to Mississippi, and was engaged in
reassembling the Viek-lnirg and I’ort Hudson
prisoners until about (lie Ist of November,
when lie was ordered back to the Army ot Ten
nessee. Gen. Longstreet having been sent to
Knoxville, (Jen. Hardee was placed in command
ot the left wing, resling upon Lookout Moun
tain. and held ibis position until the evening of
(he 2nd November, when the right wing being
threatened, he was transferred to that part of
the line. The battle of Lookout was fought tbe
rie.x: day. the 24th, and lost, and was followed
on tlie 2nlh by the battle of Missionary Bulge.
Here, as on every other field whore lie has been
engaged. Hardee's command was successful ;
and here, as at Perryville and Murfreesboro,
the other wing of the aimy was defeated. He
not only repulsed the eneinv with heavy slaugh

hle mincer ot prisoners and flags, and brought
oil his troops, under orders, without (lie loss of

The Confederate Commissioner of Taxes re
ports that the operations under the tax act are
so limited at piesent. owing to many cartses.
that it would be vain to attempt anything like
a reliable statement of the amount of the annu
al money tax, but, judging from the i ollei tions
aheady made of taxes front business and occu
pations, it is affirmed tiiat the moneybox alone,
this year, will amount to *t least one hundred
millions of dollars. It is believed, if the law
could lie carried out aud full returns andcollec
t’ons made in the territory of the Confederate
States, under our control at the beginning ot
the year, the amount would reach one hundred
and fifty millions.
The following is an abstract of the estimates
made in some of the departments of the appro
priations necessary to cover the period between
the Ist January, 1864, and Both June, 1864.
This period is six months, and the figures give
an interesting idea of the issues of paper money
that will yet be necessary to keep pace with the
expenditures of the Government ; especially
considering the fact that these estimates are on
ly for the public Offices enumerated, aud, by
no means, include all sources of expense: Quar
termaster General, $320,028,745; Comtnssary
General, 57.988,000; Surgeon General, 17,020*-
000; Engineer Bureau, 10,000.000; Ordnance
Bureau, 20,000.000; Nitre and Mining Bureau,
0,500,600 ; Adjutant General's office, 50,000;
Bureau of War, 242,125; Contingent fund. 250,-
000.
By the act of Congress of April 21, 18011, an
appropriation was made of thirty-live millions
of dollars, for the appropriation lias been near
ly exhuiiiJyd, and that it will be necessary for
Congress to make another, if it is contemplat
ed to continue purchases. There is no certain
estimate of the amount of Government cotton
on hand ; bnt allowing 50.000 bales for losses
by the enemy, and about 20,000 on account of
shipments to Europe for army supplies and on
Treasuiy account, there will remain on hand
at the present time, according to exports re
ceived, 320,551 bales. The average price paid
per pound is as follows, for the different States,
viz: in Arkansas. 12} cents; in Mississippi,
12.39 cents ; in Florida, 13 cents; in Louisi
ana, 14 cents; in Georgia, 15.} cents; Ala
bama, 21 cents, and in South Carolina, 36}
cents. The average is highest tn South Caro
lina because a portion of the. purchases con
sisted of sea island cotton. The total average
for all tlie States is 16.85 cents.
(The Federals have tnadea raid through Page
county, Va., destroying much property aud
stealing many negroes.
In Richmond, the price of gold and silver
lias not been nearly so much enhanced by the
passage of tlie “substitute bill” as was expect
’ed. It is an absolute fact that .gold has since
risen only about two dollars.
Some statistical statements, says the Rich
mond Enquirer, have been atfoided Congress
of the amount of cotton burnt on Government
account in the Southwest ami elsewhere. But
theie are yet very uncertain data as to the
amount destroyed on individual account, and
recent observations in the South assure us that
it is lunch less than is generally supposed. At
the time of I tie capture of Memphis, and when
the enemy had then got fairly into the cotton
region, there was some cotton burnt; but it
was done without any organization or system.
Since then there have been some instances of
burning private cotton, but very few iu the im
mediate vicinity of the enemy, where there
was the greatest necessity for its destruction.
In the Mississippi bottom a great deal of cot
ton lias passed into possession of the enemy by
theft or purc-hasp. It is stated that when Grant
got possession of Helena, the cotton-burr ers
were known to burn cotton iu the seed, while
baled cotton, on adjoining places, was allowed
to be hid in the eanebrakes. But little cotton
has been burnt near Memphis and the line of
the Memphis and Charleston railroad, and it
is in this vicinity tiiat the enemy has secured
large quantities of cotton through tirb cupidity
of planters. It is also stated that the enemy
secured considerable supplies of the staple
north and south of the 'Tallahatchie river. The
traffic with the enemy in cotton lias been very
demoralizing iu Mississippi; and it is not tuiit
sn.l to hear the argument there that, the people
in the northern counties who are suffering, do
quite well to exchange iheir cotton for money
or supplies, aud are excused by their necessi
ties.

Lieut. Gen. Leonidas Polk will make his
head-quarters at Enterprise, Miss., and leave
the army stationed at Brandon in charge of
Major-General French
Gentlemen from North Mississippi state that
the people in that section are all with but few
exceptions, true to the South. Our money is
worth more in that section than elsewhere in
the Confederacy, being about ten for one in
gold. You can buy pork within eight miles of
Memphis for forty five cents, in Confederate
treasury notes, and there is not a single house
in North Mississippi, that we were in, that tlie
host or hostess would charge an immoderate
price, and the majority of them will not receive
a cent Horn a Confederate soldier. If may be
said it was not so some time since. That may
be, but it is so now; the people are redeeming
themselves from past shortcomings. Tbe neu
tral ground, that is the territory lying be
tween Hernamlo-and Memphis, claimed by the
Yankees, is tilled with deserters from both
armies, who have banded together, in many
instances to rob friend or foe. Robberies are
of frequent occurrence ; and it is not safe for
quiet citizens to roam at large, especially if
they have money.

I ban v. ak;ng dreams by daylight are !
Niuht is the lin e for tori ;
To plough the ( lassie field,
Intent to Und the buried srpoil
ils wealthy fallows yield :
Till all is ours that sages taught,
That sung, or heroes wrought.
Night is the time to weep
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of memory,
The joys of other years ;
Hopes that were angels in their With,
But perish'd young, like things of earth!
Night is the time to watch ;
On ocean's dark expanse,
To hail the Pleiades, or catch
The full-moon's earliest glance ;
That brings into the home sick mind
All we have lov’d and left behind.
Night is the time to muse ;
Then, front the eye, the soul
Takes flight, and with expanding views,
Beyond (he starry pole.
Describes athwart tlie abyss ot night,
Tlie dawn of uncreated light.
Night is tlie time to pr >y ;
Our Saviour oft withdrew
To desert mountains far away—
So will his followers do :
Steal from the throng to haunts untrod,
And hold communion there with Go I.

Tiff' Corrospondance da Rome contains the
following paragraph : •‘His Holiness has
deigned to give audience to an American depu
tation from tlie Southern States charged to
place in his august hands an autograph letter
from Mr. Jefferson Davis.” The facts of the
case are stated to be these : Subsequent to the
breaking out of the American war, the l’ope
wrote a circular letter to all the Catholic Bish
ops in the Northern as well as Southern States,
exhorting them to fulfill the Christian duties
of their office, hut to abstain from tlie express
ion of any party feeling whatever in the lamen
table struggle now existing. President Davis,
appreciating these sentiments, wrote a letter to
thank his Holiness, and intrusted it for delivery
to Mr. Dudley Manu, a Southerner who has

Mix Jefferson Davis' letter was merely compli -
mentary.

The last European news gives no information
of the result pf the investigation in the case of

been previously decided against the English
Government aud now comes up again for a sec
otid hearing before the same tribunal, which is
to be composed of three other Judges, besides
tbe Lord Chief Baron who rendered the decision
on the first hearing. Wie issue of this case in
volves the fate of the rams now detained by or
der of the English Government. Tlie Alexan -
dra was detained just as the rams are now, on
suspicion of being intended for the Confederate
States service, and the cases being analogous,
the decision in the Alexandra atfair will bo
held to apply to th*e rams. Not the least irn -
portaut result of this decision will be the infitt
ence which it must exercise on ihe future policy
of the English government w.th reference tons.
If the decision is adverse to the government,
our rig t in the matter of eonstrut ting vessels
and taking them unarmed from English ports,
will he ially established. Suoh an Issue will
moreover be in direct antagonism to the pro
c aimed policy of Earl Biiesel, whose resigna
tion, on the score ot consistency and honor,
w ill become a moral necessity.
