Ni»bet, Secretary. “A Fearful Portrait.” Under this impressive head the Philadel phia Sunday Mercury publishes the following extract from n letter of a staff officer in one brigade of Sherman’s division of the army of the Southwest. It is written iu camp on the Tallahatchie river, and the writer, say * the Merrury, va* “decidedly opposed to aud used ail his influence againit what he con sidered the absurd aud suicidal policy of pro perty. The letter says— I believe the time has come when I am ashamed to acknowledge that I belong to the Union army. Os all the discraceful proceed ! mgs I ever witnessed, I think what I have seen on this march caps the climax. Two third* of Sherman's aro»y is composed of new troops from Indiana, Illinois and Wis consin, and they have come down here with the intention of burning and destroying, and well are they carrying out their intentions. The whole line of our march is one contin ued scene of destruction. Private dwellings burned, women and children driven out of their houses and even the clothes stripped : from their backs, to say nothing of the acts caimiitted by the soldiers which would al most make the blackest hearted libertine 1 blush for shame. This very day I have witnessed scenes from which I turn with loathing and disgust. True, stringent orders 1 have been issued against these excesses, but I fear they will do no good. The only sure remedy is for General Sherman to shoot about i hi dozen of these infernal rascals in the pres | ence of his whole division, but whether he will resort to any such stringent measures , remains to be seen. I have always blamed | Union Generals for guarding rebel propety, but I now see the necessity of it. Not *0 much to save the property, but our own ; safety demands it. Three weeks of such un bridaled license would ruin our array. I tell you the truth when I say we are about as mean a mob as ever walked the | face of the earth. It is perfectly frightful. . If I lived in this counirv I never would lay down my arms while a Yankee remained on the soil. Idp not blame Southerners for being secessionists now. I could relate ma ny things that would be laughable if they were not 30 horribly discraceful. For instance imagine two privates in an elegant erriage, belonging to tomo wealthy nabob, with a ; splendid*pan of horses, riding in statealong j the road we arc marching over, with a ne- ; £i*o coachman holding tht reins m all the j style of an English nobleman, and then two ! small drummer boys going at two lorty pace, j !ia uu elegant buggy with a fast horse, and j the buggy loaded with a strange raedly of , household furniture and kitchen utensils, _ ! from an elegant parlor mirror to a pair of | i hre dogs, ali 01 which they have ’'cramped : from some fine house, which troin sheer wan i ronness they have rifled and deturojed.— : Hundreds of such scenes are constantly oc -1 souring along the line of our march, as ridi -1 culous and aDsurd as they .arc a burning j »ha« 9 to th# army of th# Union. ,*■ -©** tno .utrw* Coc-i*r, *jSt.fc -, 4 The Steam Slnm Unraitcr.

AH thi> harf been supplied u> by the hy tht Natchez landing, on Thursday, at 1* p. ci., of the hull of a powerful 'steam ram. A suspicious looking drift, with a l*-w. rr.okisuappearance, huggingeJuse th’<* wat« r’.*- surface, was discovered ju.«t ab)ve *h«» eit\ in the centre of tho stream by ThomaV O’Brien -ad ld a young in tin river ’rade. They lashed tbeir skills to tb« nondescript, and attempted to turn her course to shore, but thMr exertions proved ot no avail. Tin-y steadily kept h-*r course with the rushing current ol the water, aud the young meu surrendered all hope of je curing their frire. In this they were con siderably disappointed; but previous tc leaving bar they explored 3uch portions ot the vessel &s were not too deep in the water, the upper works of the vessel haring been completely s-.ove iu by the galikig~fire ol the Vicksburg batteries * From the wreck our young friends brought off several valuably prises, and among tht other articles quite a number of lately writ ten letters showing that it had l sen known and called the U. .8, steam ram Lancaster, one of the Monarch class of r.ini gunboats. Among the papers w*re testimoricN ot the excellent character of Go!. Ellett, Ght redoubtable Colonel of flic Queen of the Vve»t,) phinly shewing that one or both of the brothers had been on board of the Lan caster. And right Here, we 1 ia a o.lu* to the running ihe Vicksburg battcriea. Com modore F&rragut lay before \\ arrenton, with the sloop Hartford and gunboat Albatros, in distrOHS. He was between two batteriei*, and it was necossary ro send to Commodore Loiter across the neek 0! land ■ This was undoubtedly don*. It is uho w< li ! known that Col.

Accordingly, the Lancaster, with th* C !■> I nel and liL brother aboard, in company with : another of the same species, tried v tge iof the batteries. The fate of both botiis is j known : but the miserable who undertook tho “jvib,” are no doubt mostly numbered with the deal. That Col. EHett’s brother w:<h on the Lan caster, there is scarcely 11 shade of doubt; fa* his private papers afford no other con clusion. They arc documents limp he* w?uld always curry uear his peisou ; or only part their company to have them iu safe keeping ot a brother. Our uwa private opinion is, that they were both on the Lancaster, and the two brothers found a watery grave ;Q front of the two Vicksburg batteries It is much to be regretted that the wreck of the Lancaster could not have been brought to at Natchez but her immense weight of armament forbade it, with the feeble resour ces then at command. Rut if Dot caught up before she passes our Port; Hudson batteries, the ram will prove a floating evidence to the enemy below that the Confederates at Vicks burg have been at work in earnest, All the upper works of the Lancaster were crushed iu or blown overboard by the storm of iron from our batteries, and nothing but the hul-, the guns and machinery left to mark the | terrible conflict One of ihe letters at band indicates that a man named W. D. Doeman, was employed in some capacity of the the Lancaster. lie writes hi« dear friend “Jennie,*' that in a short time the rebellion will be quelled, ami jhe will return to her. He will be some time in reaching home ! The Arrest cf Coi< Taicoit, We copy from the New York World, of 1 the 25th, an account of the arrest of Col. j Talcott in that city.
