Tur. Movk.m::xiß Bki.ow tuu Citk. Though
I rumors ol movements aud expected move- ‘
| meats were rife \ esterday upon the tiree;*,
intelligence of an authentic character was
scare* und difficult of access. A despatch from
Gen. Evans, On Saturday afternoon, announced
that a body of our troop/i, under Col. Dunno
vant, hail t hat morning encountered a force of
Yankee marauders on John’s Island, snacked
(hem, aud had driven them across Jlaulovrr
Bridge, rapturing their baggage. We believe
ti.ai no further dentils of th* affair have yet
transpired.
On Saturday uigbt a Y anker picket was cap
tured on James Island, oear the Church. In i
I leply to question* as to ihe strength of the
cuemy’s force on that island, he stated that il |
was no less then 15,000 men, including a regi
mefit of pontoniers, two bauaries of light ar
tillery and some rivalry, tbe whole under
j command of two Bngudier Generals
Were the weather less forbidding, we might
perhaps look for an early opening of the hostil
ities which are soon likely to make James is
land a spot memorable in the records of the
present war.

on Friday night Captain Stephen Elliott, with
twenty of his men in a bunt, armed, pulled over
to within a hundred yards of the enemy’s
picket, et the heed of the Tort Royal Ferry
causey. Here he was hailed, end replied in
I negro lingo so well imit u*d as to deceive the
Yankees until he could see their white faces,
when, by signal, a volley was poured into
them. ILs pieces in position on the opposite
bulkhead also opened, and the causey was
cleared of ihe enemy. Captain Elliott andh.t
mm, landing, cut up two flat boats aud several
row boats, end tried repeatedly to fire the small
ferry house, Until seemed so saturated with
salt that it would not burn. How many were
killed and wounded j* not known We trust
this is the iutuguratiou of a spirit ot enterprise
un the lines Capt. Elliott we know He is
emphatically ihe right mao in the right place,
aud will make opportunity if permitted.

he will not permit Coumodore Farragut to
leave even with his fleet of seven vessels, who
is extruatuiy anxious to visit Red lUver, end
other important points on the wuy while the
river is high; and a strong communication has
recently passed between them on tbe subject.
Generul Butler dertundad Cotam>Jou fVrra
gut to remain, because the uavv took tRm city*
and his services were required there. Com -
modore Ferragut replied that the army wes iu
possession of the city, and should hold it. He
did not think his services were required, and
that he should be permitted to proceed up the
river on other duty. We would like to see
them pitch into each other. If Commodore
Fsrragut will go up ihe river, we doubt if f
Butler wid hold the city forty-eight hours, (
udgmg irom the present state ol thing*. The t
Confederate regiment, which disbanded, have j
their arm* stowed away securely, and about
three thousand of our best Louisiana boys
havr'ieiurijed to the city and joined oer “get* ,
ting up/’ which will give us eight thousand
men to do what i don’t think 1 ought to tell
you at preaeui. Geu. Butler has recently sta
tioned at Den Hitchcock’s Hotel, five hundred
uicn, to protect him at liiat piece, while he
enjoys other people’s luxuries. Gn lest Tues

United Steles navy odicer, hired a carriage and
visited this Hotel, the driver wa* e boy eigh

neat little swcessiou dag newed on their bosoms
and they plainly show n revolver in the right

anil in many cases they are seen turning up
their noses, with a peculiar pom, and an in

Yankee, you,” and puss ou. lam happy to sav
that the ladies .u this city hare taken a bold
and decided stand. No United States officer
or soldier is permitted te ride in the city pas
senger rail road car*, if two or three New Or
leans ladle* are in it. Mr. Law-on, the pro
prietor, has published a card with regard to
this matter, end on the following day two Uni- |

Granada, Miss , June 7.
A reporter ot the Memphis Appeal arrived
here to-dey, who witneed the destruction of
Montgomery’* fleet in front of Memphis, Fri
day, by Commodore Dayia'a fleet of Yankee
gunboats and ram*.
Commodore Montgomery, after the success
ful evacuation of Fort Pillow, which was com
pleted Wednesday night, dropped down tbe
river to Memphis, tin i commenced coaling.—
The enemy's fleet anchored nt Mound City, six
miles above Memphis, Thursday night. Friday
morning at sunrise they dropped down to the
foot of the lslaud,one mile above the oity.
Capt. Montgomery made preparation* to re
ceive them, end a light began immediately in
front of the city. Thousands of spectators,
iwoluffing men, women and children, lined the
shores and witnessed th,. heroic struggle of
our gallant men Against Overwhelming odds.
The fight was siubbornU coutected and lasted
two hours, frequently haijd to hand. It ended
in the complete destruction of our boats. The
Price, Lovell and Little Rebel sunk, the Van
Dorn was disabled, she Wn# fired and blew up,
tho crew escaping in the woods. The Beau
regard wee struck by one of the enemy’s rams
she was run ashore opposite the city, sunk
on a bar, and surrendered. The Mexico and
Bragg were captured.
The loss of life on the Confederate side was
very small considering the length and despe
ration of the conflict.
The enemy claim to have taken oue hundred
prisoners. Capt. Montgomery escaped to the
Arkansaa shore. Cabed, the pilot on the Lov
ell, was killed by the enemy's sharp-shooters
and hta body went down with the boat. The
Captain, officers and crew escaped by swim
miug ashore. The enemy's loss was fully
equal to ours. Capt*. Montgomery and Dela
ney passed dowu the road this morning. Tbe

Fitch, of an Indiana regiment, commands the

weighs 12 tout, and baa a diameter at th* tnussle
of 10% mohea. This gun unrifled, and with
plain solid shot, was fired against the great
“Warrior target.” The shot, a 168 pounder,wa
fired with a charge of 40 pounds of powder at a
distance of 200 yards. The ball did not go
through the target but completely shattered tie

The following accouut of (he situation of

place, under date of the 26th ult:
In Nashville, the almost universal sentiment
among the residents is that the rebel army will
return. They continuuHy act upon this idea,
and repor.s are hourly circulated of this and
that advantage gained by the rebels over the
Union men. With characteristic vigor, Gov.
Johnson has determined to stop the spread of
false information coming through rebel chan
nels, aud arrests have, in consequence, been
made of proaiiueut personages here aud in the
vicinity, luatead of allaying public excite
meul, those sr ests seem only to augment it-
Tbo rebel* do nut speak openly, but their
murmur* a< heard w herever ttiey th uk they
are without chance of detection or espionuge.
The Union men xay hut little, aud that, with
but lew exceptions, ut only a ha.f breath, not
withstanding the pre.eiu’U ol Gov. Johnson
and Geu. Dumont’s military lorce. The Union
doiuonsiialiuu lust Monday was, uuder all the
circumstances, a tucceasiul aflair; but some
prominent quasi Uuiomsls did not attend, aud
they nave since expressed dissatisfaction at
the steps Gov Johnson is taking iu making
arrests The srrest of ex Governor Neil b_
Browu yesterday is exercising au influence in
that direction. Ido not, how ever, think ibm
Governor Juhuaou Will be deterred (rum the
perfomaaceuf what he believes 10 behis duly,
uo mailer what lukewarm Unionists, and Cer
tainly not whsi notorious secessionists, say.
Whatever may occur lu JNsshvilie, whether it
may be overrun by tugilive* Iron* Corinth or
Richmond, or whether it uuy be preserved to
the Government without another exercise ol
lit power, you may rely upon it Gov. Johnson
will uot act the part of bis rebel predecessor,
Isham G. Harris, and flee incontinently. A
surprise is sometimes talked of, but General
Dumont is too vigilant to be ‘aught napping,
and, with the force at his command, might,
perhaps, keep 0,000 rebels at bay until rein
forced. But the destruction of the city would
be the inevitable coneequenee ot au attempt
to recapture it.
The confiscation act, at proposed, is work
mg hurtfully. I have the beat authority for
staling that thousands in the rebel army would
cheerfully return to their allegiance il a gen
eral amnesty proclamation was issued; and
thousands in the couutry would declare for the
Union if they were assuied of protection from
predatory bands. Strong measures aie de
manded to ibis end, and the authorities at
Washington cannot act too vigorously aud too
promptly in facilitating the operations of Gov.
Johnson to root out these marauding band*.
Eastern Tennessee is Union in sentiment, and
is only held down by the military powerof Jeff.
Davis. The people there are constantly ap
pealing to the Federal Government lor assist
ance. It is to be earnestly hoped lhat it will
not be long delayed
Preparation? are being made lor holding
Union meetings in LebauoD, Murlreeboro',
Columbia, aud other places. That for Colum
bia is already advertiaed (June 2). In some
I places the meeting will have to be held at the
I point of the bayonet, until those who oppose
| the Government are made to understand that
,t I- merciful ard magnanimous, and not at alt
aboli.ion. The hardest fight the Union men
here in Tennessee have is, to defend them
selves against the infernal machines sent down
South in the shape of abolition speeches and
action in Congress.
