•gJJVEMENIS UPON VICKSBURG,
p. enemy are now bent on a new advance
^Twksburg from the South. Some fifty
miles below the beleaguered city, the
River - debouches into (he main.
i« a tributary apparently quite as large
jjportant as tho Yazoo. Winding up the
of this stream in a general Norlh-
wtirse, the Federate would land about

by a cannonade in front, and a heavy

of their gunboats and a few transports,
intended to initiate this movement up the

|We presume, however, that SO obvious a point

voting and income tax paying public—all but
a few disappointed Republicans, hope for the
success ot the South.
Lord Hartingdon, in an election speech this
week stated the whole case. He had just come
from America, where he had traveled in both sec
tions, and he was out and out Southern, and de
clared that no union cotild be restored, nor could
the South be conquered. This opinion was never
so firm as at this moment. Is it strange that strong
efforts should be made to hasten a result in which
faith is so general ?
If the statements publicly made, and apparently
based on good authority, arc to be believed, the
Confederates within a month will have at sea one
of the most formidable fleets that ever steamed out
upon the Atlantic. The steamers ^now preparing
will be as fleet, as strong and as powerful as Brit
ish machinists can make them. Yon have not be
gun to fortify the Northern ports a day too soon.
1 cannot tell when the blow will fall; 1 only know
that the Confederates here are jn radiant jubilation.
They care noLliing about Vicksburg or Charleston.
They expect to go home in “ninety days.” They
care nothing for tho Union movement in the NoTth.
They care not for recognition. Tho money mar
ket has recognized them—that is enough. If cot
ton is not king,it is at least a hard subject—has giv
en them a loan of $16,000,000 with the offer of six
times as much. That is giory enough.
Tho foregoing is very valuable information,
if t'uc ; but we doubt it very much. We are
inclined to think that in the course of a few
weeks, we shall hear that the British Ministry,
responsive to Seward’s “warning” menaces,
has shut up our embryo - fleet in their ports,
and so dashed all prospects ot raising the
blockade in that way. It will have been noticed
by .diligent newspaper readers, ever since the
war began, that these English and French cor
respondents of the New York prints havo al
most without exception appeared to take great
delight in exaggerating every thing friendly to
the Confederates and hostile to Lincolndom ;
Vrith what object we are unable to say, unless
perhaps to create a sensation or cxcito Federal
animosity against the European powers.
But if our fears should prove groundless and
the fleet get out, we shall have somo lively
episodes to the tedious progress of the war by.
land during the present summer.
DR. LEYBURN'S LECTURES.
Mit. Cusny—Allow me to call tho attention
of the people of Macon to tho lectures of Dr.
Leyburn. Ho is a native of tho State oi Vir
ginia, For a number oi years he edited a re
ligious newspaper at Philadelphia, the Presby
terian, with great ability ; and came at onco to
the South upon tho breaking out of the war,
and is now a resident at Montgomery, Ala.,
managing tho Domestic Mission ol the Presby
terian Church, as Secretary of its Committee
on Domestic Missions. T)r. L. is a learned and
eloquent Divine and an accomplished scholar.
He has visited Palestine and Egypt twice, and
from personal observation and research—stim
ulated by zeal, amounting almost to enthu
siasm, in all that concerns, the scenes, re
mains and population of the Holy Land, has
acquired a fund of knowledge in relation to
these matters, unequalled by that of any man
on this continent. He is said to be a most
agreeable and attractive Lecturer. He will
deliver a series of five lectures on Palestine and
Egypt, commencing to-night at eight o’clock
in the Presbyterian Church. In these times ol
anxiety and terror, and of**appr*hensions-{or
the future, the Christian and the scholar, and
indeed all classes of the people, will find relief
and iuat»uetion in listening to them. Below
is a notice of his Lectures' from the Advertiser
at Montgomery, Ala.

FROM BRIDGEPORT.
Bridgeport, April 88, 1863.
Mr. Clisby—I have never been ir. the habit
of writing for the press, cor do I claim to pos
sess any great faculty of clothing ideas with
wordg, yet while I do not hold that it is right
and proper that the public should know all
that pertains to the army an 1 its 'movements,
I have thought and still believe .hat a great
deal may be made known to the public through
the press in tho shape of nows i -etns which
cannot prove detrimental to the Confederate
States, and at the same time prove’ somewhat
interesting to the reading public.
Some of our wounded whe fell into the hands
of the enemy at Murfreesboro’ have been ex
changed, and daily returning to-their respec
tive commands. They report m.uiy incidents
connected with their pilgrimage North, and say
that they endured much suffering and priva
tion, partly the result of a want of proper at
tention. What a pity that our leaders could
not bettor provide for the treatment and wel
fare of those who might well be numbered with
the noblest of our ftrave defenders.
I have just heard related an incident touch
ing in its nature and wounding in its effects.
In response to a_falber’a l»b-
the fate of his son, who was wounded at tho
battle of Murfreesboro', the Medical Director
of the depot of Tennessee, writes that the son
died in the hospital at Murfreesbro’ on the 8th
of January, 1863, and was buried in the rear
of the male Academy, but the precise spot was
not designated, as the surgecn in charge was
too much occupied to attend to such “litife
matters” as specifically marking the soldiers'
graves. “Little matters!” Is it a,“littlo mat
ter” for the father, mother, brother or sister
to know where rests the mortal remains of one
upon whom their hearts and affections havo
been placed? Is it a “little matter” to be de
prived of the mournful gratiflection of visiting
the spot where lies the hotly of a martyred
son, husband or brother, to bedew it with the
sacred tear of sorrow, or decorate it with tri
butes of affection 1 Look at that stricken mo
ther, or wife, wending herweary, heart broken
pilgrimage to the field of recent carnago. Her
son or husband is dead—what seeks she then?
Ask. “Where lies my son—my husband ?”
Will you reply, we know not, wo have no time
to attend to such “ little matters ?’’ O, could
being removed to the front at Wartrace and
Shelbyville. An error hug existed for some-’
time in relation to the locality of the front by
those outside of tho army. Shelbyvillc and
Wartrace is the actual frent and center of our
lines, locaied 18 milgs above this point and
directly opposite to the enemy’s front. Mc
Minnville which is about thirty miles distant
upon one side of our front, is the right wing,
and Columbia near the same distance on the
other side is tho left wing, Tullahotna being
10 the rear, whero a greater portion of the
army has been retained as greater facilities for
communication and transportation were af
forded.
Rosecranz is said to be heavily reinforced,
if we believe the reports of his prisoners, de«
sorters or Federal newspapers, but he has
show no disposition so far to engage in a gen
eral fight by advancing upon Our lines, though
the wily General has often, attempted to draw
us from our present strong' position. Wheth
er it will be policy with an inferiority-in num
bers to advance upon Rosecranz, is a question
of much consideration, but will it not be worso
to allow him to receivo an army of reinforce
ments in addition to his own and. then over
whelm us by our delay ?
;No army ever left their quarters with higher

or die than did the veterans of Shiloh and
Murfreesboro, upon their departure this morn-
ing, nor was ever such a movement made with
more order and precision, reflecting alike horn
or upon the troops and credit to the officers.
The late raid upon the McMinnville Railroad
was made by 3600 of the enemy’s cavalry.
After burning four bridges and destroying
some public property thoy retired towards Mur-
freosboro’, fearing to meet our forces who were
in pursuit of them. " g

FROM TENNESSEE AND THE WEST.
Okolona, April 25.—Our cavalry engaged
the enemy yesterday at Birmingham. The
fight lasted two and a half hours, and the ene
my was completely routed. Fifteen of his
force were killed and a large number wounded.
Col. Hatch, of tho 2d Iowa Cavalry, was
seen to fall from his horse, which ran into our
lines and was captured.
Our loss was ono killed and twenty wounded.
The destruction of the bridge prevented pur
suit. ’ .
A special to tho Advertiser and Register at
Mbbile gives tho sarao particulars.
Jackson, April 25.—Gen. Gholson and Col.
Bartcaw attacked the Yankees near Okolona
—killing fifteen and wounding a great many.
Col. Hatch of the 2d Iowa killed. Our loss
ono killed and fifteen wounded.
Jackson, April 25.—-At 12 o’clock to day the
enemy demanded the surrender of Enterprise.
Gen. Loring arrived with timely reinforcements
and tho enemy, reported at 600 to 1500 cas
valry, retreated without a fight
Somo 400 of tho Yankee cavalry left Starks-
villo about two-days ago towards Bankston’s
irtiio. They took the road by Grenada
or Pottsboro. On their rotreat they burned
tho Female Institute and other hospital build
ings.
Okolona.—Two trains have been burned at
Newton. ■ Tho ongines were very slightly in
jured.
Tho water at Fort Pemberton has fallen four
feet and is still falling two inches daily. Com--
munication is likely to be established.
Tho enemy had advanced no nearer than
Newton. They aro near Kosciusko. They
burned Louisville and hung Dr. Covington.
Gen. Adams telegraphs at half past eight
this morning that he was wsiting tho return
of a party sent from the Lake to open commun.
ication with Meridian, and his train was with
tho party.
ThG department has reason to believe, outside
of reports of its own officers and of correspondents
of the Herald, that tbo guns of the iron-clads did
serious damage to the forts. The fifteen-inch guns
are readily handled on board Tcsscla.and the range
is obtained as effectually as by guns .of smaller
calibre. One of the fifteen-inch Dahfgron gone has
been subjected to a test of over five hundred die-
charges without any damages tints far. '

.in relation to s house and lot 1 pnrcb*«d from said
Whiter and sold lo Dr. II. S. Thodsea, Trustee for
Mrs. Cose, which Card I’ tolly endorse.
Tho property I purchased In good Ctithby an order ot
Court and paid lu full value at that time, gave my note
tor It, and got bond for UUe*, with toll satisfaction to
akpartles. After selling tho property to K. 8, Thomson;
Trustee, Winter refused to M** th* money for tbs
notes, and give mo perfect Utica, so I transferred i be
bond for titles to St. ts. Thomson, Tinder, and be ia to
take np the ontstsudlng notes fgaiiict me for the pro
perty.
The sale or this property hangs heavily upon the
mind or Mr. Winter. ’ 1
It would seem to the public mind that toeiwwas an
attempt at fraud In the sale or this property tome, aa
bn refuses to tako the mousy for the • perfect
tho titles, og that there is a mpUty about It that it
cannot unravel. *
It has never been my plan to retUe difficulties through -
Newspapers, but in thU case I fed it my duty to cor
rect any erroneous impression which inch a notice may
have made on the pabllc mind.
Tho secret ot tho whole matter Is thia-Mr. Winter
wanted to buy the property, and at less than Us trae
value, aud to do so attempted to prejudice the public
against the titles ol said property and therefore depre
ciate Its value. And I am respunalulk lor what I say.
If ho Intends a lawsuit, why don't he commence

ly forward in faco of tho enemy, received his
death wound, and whetfVuontKs after his father
succoeds in procuring inforiuation ns to his

January of a gunshot wound, but the precise
spot ot his burial is not known, became the
Surgeon in charge of him had not time to 'At
tend to such ‘little matters.-’ ”
Such is the reward of patriotism; such is
tho consolation of parents who pluck out their
hearts’ treasure and cast it a fre. will offer
ing upon thq altar of country.
From the day of hia entering tHe service
until tho day of his death (nearly two years)
the young man referred to had noverbeen per
mitted. to visit his family; 'and now that he is
dead in a strange land among strangers, their
desire to visit tLe spot of his remains, per
haps to remove them to a sspultre - nearer
home, is heartlessly repelled by the informa
tion that his grave is unknown; that the
country for aUcti he <ljcd did not esteem the
sacrifice enough to raise'apino board inscribed
with the ihitialn of his name;, it was such a
“small matter.” Shame on those who aro
thus callous to sympathy and gratitude.
Our army is again getting in stir. We be
gin lo see the s hadows of coming events, and
it is very generally believed that we .are on
tho eve of another bloody conflict; but we
think we have every assurance desirefi that,
trusting in the skill of our Generals aud the
valor ot our Items, we shall have another to
add to onr already long fist of brilliant' suc
cesses.
We have revived information to the effect
that private A. J. Burr, of our Company “B”
0th Qa'Rtftj who'wa8 wounded in that en
gagement, died in the hospital at Murfreesboro
on the Slh day of January. His company
mourns the lots of f. true and noble soldier.—

battle of Murfreesboro. He is gone, but his
name will live in our inemories. J. L. D.

down extortion in our midst. Supply the poor
with plenty as weil as the families who have
legitimate claims upon there bounty, and do
more good generally than they possibly could

A course like this would meet iny humble
approbation, which I mqpt say is not accorded

which thousands of dollars are given to the

Department states that the dispatches received on
Sunday from Admiral Dupont are not of so com
plete and definite character as to make their pub
lication oxpedicnt,and consequently they will await
the receipt of the fall reports of the Commanders
of the different vessels engaged before placing them
before tho country. All tho important details of
the affair upon to tho morning of tho 9 th iust. have
already been published through tho enterprise of
the newspaper correspondents.
Tbo Navy Department does not regard the re
sult of this preliminary bombardment as decisive
or essentially discouraging. Tho ability of the
Monitors to withstand the unparalleled concentra
ted fire of the batteries at Charles ton harbor is con
sidered to have been demonstrated, a3 notwith
standing the time they were tinder fire they were
not essentially or materially injured. Tho obstruc

before the attempt to reach the city can be success
fully renewed, it is believed that this can be done
within a comparatively brief lime, and that by a
co-operative land and .naval attack the city can be

number of their guns can be made proportionate
to the guns they have to encounter,
