4 [From the Richmond Dispatch, May )•>.] FROM THE NORTH. More or the Wimamsbur* Kale-Ai fLr* at Fortresh Monroe. The Yankee account* of the battle at Wil liamsburg, published in the New i ork Hernia, are headed in glaring capitals, as follows : i ts&asavr&J&f . After this grand flourish follows the romantic narrative copied into our columns yesterday. We have come to the conclusion that the Northern people will never get over their habit of misrepresentation. That they were driven from the field of Williamsburg, which was after wards ocenpied for thirty-six hours by our troops, is a fact well known here ; and yet the Yankees have the audacity to claim a -bn.Uant victory.” A gentleman of this city, who came up ou the Hag. of truce boat ou Tuesday, had an interview with Gen. McClellan at Old Point, and asked him how he could consctentiously claim a victory under such circumstances V Mc- Clellan could give no direct answer, but main tained that it was a victory. And it is thus that the invaders of our soil are practicing de ceplion and humbug—seeking to pull wool over the eyes ef their own people and to create an erroneous impression abroad. We make some farther extracts from the Northern account of the battle. It artfully conceals the fact that the Yankees lost a large number of prisoners, and makes several mis statements iu regard to the events of the day . POSITION OP THE ENEMY. It was ascertained that the enemy were in force behind their works, and intended to de fend them. Their line ot defences consisted of a series of forts of immense strength, and laid out with great skill. The principal work was in the centre, (Fort Page,) and was the only one that had any heavy matiuted guns lhis was protected by eight smaller fort3, tour oil each side, while rifle-pits and redoubts were in every direction. THE PLAN OF ATTACK. Our attack was made at the same tune on both wings and on the centre. Gen. Hancock’s brigade, consisting of the sth Wisconsin vol unteers, Col. Cobb; 49t!i Pennsylvania. Col. Erwin; 43d New York, Col. Vinton; and oh Maine, Col. Burnham, were stationed on the Gen. Brooks, with his Vermont troops, com manded the centre, while the lelt was com manded by Gen. Hooker. The attack was first commenced on the extreme lelt by General Hooker, with his first brigade, Gen. Grover, consisting of the first Massachusetts regiment, Lieut. Col. Mil s; lfitli Massachusetts, Oolouel Blaisdell; 26th Massachusetts, Col. Small, and 2d New Hampshire, Col. Maiston; but the tiring soon became general along the whole line.' The enemy fought witli great bravery, ; and with a lorce equal to any that we had en gaged. They threw a great force against the! lelt. aud succeeded in capturing a battery of five guns from Lieut. Bramhall, of the New York artillery ; but they were not retaken by our men. The heaviest loss that was sustained during the dav was at this point. The New Jersey Bth, Col. Starr, are said tb have suffered most severely. The loss of the enemy on the left was very heavy, the ground being covered with their dead aud wounded, besides very many which they carried off the field. THE LOSS OP THE ENEMY. The loss of the enemy is estimated by prison ers and citizens of Williamsburg at from two to three thousand, while our loss in killed and wounded will probably not exceed ten or twelve hundred. Our troops fought with great bravery, charging repeatedly with the bayonet, and driving the enemy in conlusiou at every charge. While these events were transpiring upon the lelt, Gen. Hancock, with his splendid brigade, was making havoc with the enemy upon the right. They were deployed under the imme diate supervision of Gen. Keyes, upon a road which led to the extreme right of the enemy, where they came in sight of the outer works. Two of these v/ere taken without opposition. As the brigade filed to the left of the first ot these forts they came to an open field, when Gen. Hancock brought them into line of battle in an incredible short space of time, and iu the most splendid style. Before them, at the dis tance ot nearly a mile, was the sucoud work, designed to protect the left of Fort Page. This, upon investigation, was also found deserted, aud soon the stars aud stripes were waving from its ramparts. THE FIRING UPON FORT PAGE Iu front of this deserted fort General Han cock lorined his troops, while Captains Ken nedy and Wheeler oppeued their batteries upon Fort Page. The firing was very spirited for some minutes, when the batteries were ordered to advance and take a podtion about halt way between the deserted fort and Fort Page, a dis tance of only live hundred or six hundred yards from the enemy, where they poured ia a terri ble tire on the fort. uur own position was a very precarious one, being an open field with an open space iu our rear, extending back a distance of two miles, and surrounded on all sides by woods. Gen. Hancock at once saw that it would afford a splendid opportunity for the enemy to get in his rear, and sent back for reinforcements.— Through some mismanagement, our Generals had failed to have up a sufficient force within supporting distance, and before they could be brought upon the field the quick sight of the, rebel General had seen our weakuess and sent a force of four thousand infantry and a regi ment of cavalry to attack us in the rear. CHARGE OF GEN. UANCOCK’s BRIGADE. As soon as they appeared in sight, General Hancock ordered the artillery to retreat, and prepared to give them a proper reception. Waiting till the enemy had approached with in two hundred yards, he placed himself at the head of his columns, and, taking off his cap, turned to his men and said to them, as only Gen. Hancock can say it, “Gentlemen, charge!’’ and with a yell they rushed upou the enemy, scattering them in evor> direction. This was probably the most brilliant charge made duriDg the day. A great number ot the enemy were left dead and wounded upon the field, while our loss was very small. Our regiments all did nobly, but uone of them more so than the sth Wisconsin and 43 J No'w York. Col. Cobb and Maj Larabee, ol the sth Wisconsin, and Cols. Fenton aud Penr son, of the 43d New York, are deserving of especial praise. The charge made by Gen. Han cock saved us the day yesterday in all proba bllUy. By the time our reinforcements had arrived, Gen. Hancock had dtivcu the eueuiy from the field. The held the position they occupied during the night, expecting to storm the works this morning ; but the rebels, considering prudence the better part of valor, tied during the night, saving them the trouble. The most severe lire of the enemy was direct ed upon our left, and our greatest losses are in the brigades engaged there. TUe division ot General Hooker and the brigade under General Palmer are reported badly cut up. The only ollicers killed or wou- ded, tbat l have heard of, ate Captain Williams and Lieutenant Barnard, ot General Kearney’s Staff, killed ; and Colonels Terry and Beach, of the. Fifth Michigan, wound ed Colonel Beach has lost ;v leg. At daylight this morning it was discovered that tho enemy had left during the night, and taken all their guns and baggage, and our forces are now iu pursuit ol them. As we approached Williamsburg we were met by a deputation of ciliaens, requesting protection, which was granted. OCCUPYING THE ENEMY'S STRONGHOLD. Our lorces entered Williamsburg about one o’clock. The town is deserted by most of the male population, but many of them left their families behind. It is a beautiful town, of about fifteen hundred inhabitants, and, I should judge, a delightful residence before the war. The streets are now badly out up and tilled with broken wagons and rubblsn, ihrowu away by the retreating rebels. 1 can learn of on'y one family in town who have remained'loyal through all the difficulty, and that is the family of Mr. If. They have uniformly stood out and K-mained faithful to the old flag; but iu con sequence have suffered everv indignity which rebel ingenuity could iuiliet upon them. The rest of the people appear to have become heartily sick ol the rebel army, as they have ap propriated choir proi’crty and houses without mercy, and paid for it, when at all, with woi th less paper.

Iu the Lincoln House of Representatives, ou the 9th instant, the following resolutions were offered by LovijjY, of Illinois, and adopted: liesolved. That it is with feelings of devout gratitude to Almighty God that the House ot Representatives, from lime to time, hear ot the triumphs ot the Union army in the great struggle for the supremacy ot the Constitution and the integrity of the Union. Hesoived, That we receive, with profound sat lafactiou I he intelligence of the recent victories achieved by the armies of the Potomac, nsso o mted trom mere localities with those ol the revolution ; aud that the sincere thanks of this House are hereby tendered to Major General George U. McClellan for the display of those high military qualities which secure impor tant results with but little sacrifice to human life. In regard to which the Washington corres pondent ot the Herald telegraphs as tollows : Mr. Lovejoy’s resolution of thanks to Gen. McClellan, offered in the House to-day, excited considerable comment in the Capitol. Some regarded it as ironical in its spirit aud meaning, others consider it as a piece of political strategy, or an attempt to spike the guns of General Mc- Clellan’s friends before they had an opportuni ty to fire a salute iu honor of his victories. In uuv view of the case, it is a triumph for Gen. McClellan, for a mouth ago sueh a resolution coming from the other side of the House would have tnct with a fierce opposition from mem bers ot the Lovejoy school.

Sambo In tho N'ortli. The New Yoik JKrald, of the 11th ult., re- ] cords the arrival at Philadelphia of the first de- | tachuient of freed-contrubjinds from the South, j who have been set at liberty by the laws of the Lincoln Congress. They are the escaped slaves of “ rebels iu arms against the government,” who arc declared to be free, and have been sent North to render their freedom doubly secure by putting them out ol iho reach of their rebel owners by any possible contingency. The Herald says “ our colored brethren ” were not “very lovingly received " bj’the abolition in habitants of tin; city of brotherly love ; that Philadelphia has heretofore had considerable experience in negroes irom the Bomb, and is therefore averse to being subjugated by them ; therefore the Herald says they arc to be sent on to New York and adds : It is quite probable that before many weeks are over we shall have several thousand ot them seeking wont to which they are not trained, assistance which they have never before re quired, or shelter in our alms houses, wheie they can sun themselves readily every fine day in all the novelty of indolence. The llerald protests against the emancipation policy of the government, and.the sending the negroes North, aud adds : The support ot those contrabands is becom ing a heavy expense to the nation, and will i-i --crease with their increasing numbers. It is no function of the Government to enter into the cotton planting business, and the only employ ment it may legitimately give these people is that of beiDg the servants and cooks of the army, a servile condition totally incompatible with the heaven born intellects and the wonder ful love ot liberty which, according to Greeley and Beecher, they so pre-eminently possess. They must, therefore, be brought North to be educated to kiss the blarney stone of New Eng land, and learn that they are made iu God’s own image ar.d have a right to do it. Let them come on then, to these “fields and pastures new;” to a climate which for six mouths in the year will keen their teeth in a continual chatter ; to_ employments which if gained, will deprive our white laborers ot t heir bread ; to get false opinions of them-elves aud of others ; to be in iheir own way and every body’s else—in short to be the plague and nuis ance of every community where they muster iu force. The sooner the better. We propose th.it fifty thousand of these contrabands be brought at once to New' York and Boston, and we shall see what will be the result. Lei. the white-con ted puiiosophoio mingle with their beloved ones, and show that, the contrast ol color is a mere fallacy, let the reverend doctors prove that Ethiopia may successfully change her skin, whether the Lord pleases or no!; let the whole tribe of silly lecturers, men and wo men, rush into the throng, take them by the hand, hug them to their bosom, and survive the effluvium as they may, yet the attempt will lie a dead failure. The Herald then says the North western i States have excluded negroes from coming I among them, and predicts that the Yankee Slates in the North-east will be lotted to do the same thing; and predicts further that there can be no settlement of the present conflict— no end to the war, except upon condition that the South lake and lorever keep all the liu groto: What, then, is to be the upshot ol this whole matter ? Most indubitably, that the Northern States, in closing up this rebellion, will make it a condition of peace that tne Southern Slates will biud themselves to keep their negroes at home, take care of them and support them themselves. They admire slavery in the ab stract and per se ; ifcey arc welcome lo all ils benefits ami blessings Awe do not wish to see the tree States overrun with negroes, we must insist that no settlement of our difficul ties shall take place until Secessia shall give bonds to keep lo r slave population within her own teiritoiy. To'his conclusion the conser vative mind ot the N >rtb is rapidly hastening. Is there any sane m m who does not look with alarm, as well as disgust, at the idea of domes ticating two or three millions of contrabands among us l And in what possible way can we avoid this calamity, except by lrankly making known to the South that we will .not have, we will not harbor, we do not want their negroes V AA'uiris at t’entiacola, [From the Mobile Advertiser, 13th.] Pensacola, May 10th, 1803. The scenes of last night closed the long cam paign of Pensacola -ot its history you are sulii cicutly famiiiar. The order for the destruction ot Lite Warrington Navy Yard, and all public property at that place aud Pensacola that could not be moved, wqs successfully carried iuto exe cution and thoroughly executed at the Yard and Pensacola. About 11 Ul o’clock, the signal being given by Brig Gen. Thomas Jones, in an instant the torch was applied at every point, aud iu a few minutes the wood works, gun carriages, etc , in Forts Barrancas and Mcßae aud the Hospi tals, together with ail the other buildings iu the Navy Yard proper, iu the villages of Wool sey and Warrington, were in dimes. At the same instant the torch was applied to the oil factory and all the Government buildings in the city ol Pensacola, also to the steamers at the wharf. The scene was giund, tbril tug, and sublime The whole bay was as light us mid day, while, the murky clouds overhead reflected hack an apparently liquid tea ol lire. Fort Pickens could be plainly seen, and its garri sob seemed to have suddenly aroused, astound ed and surprise!. In a short while, however, Pickens opened with shot and shell. Our boys, not relishing tue compliment, instantly return ed it Irorn oue or two smooth bore 44’s and 33’ 8, which quickly cleared the ramparts ot Pickens of all Sight seers. Whether anybody was “hurt,” is not known. Pa kens seemed to b-, and must have been, perfectly iguormt of our movements, and from the heaviness of its file was in a paroxysm ol wrath and rage.. The task of distuamling the forts and batte ries, and the removal of everything worth transporting, even to smalt bits of copper and lead, in the face and very teeth of an enemy, was one of a most, difficult and delicate nature. This has been most admirably executed by Gen. Jones. The Federais can now take possession of an inliospit ibic sand beach. About 7Va o’clock in the morning a Federal sailing schooner ran up within about a half mile of the city, and sent a boat on shore with a tl ig of truce. The Fedirul officer was more anx ious to find out what was going on, and obtain information than anything else, for the manner in which he sailed op the bay was very cautions and prudent, as though be expected a "rebel” ruse and the destruction of the property the night befote had merely beeu done to catch him and his liule schooner. He was promptly re buked by a Confederate officer, who was stand ing near by un* Ilk-hilly, b;, being told that he bail no rignt to ask such questions under a (lag of truce, a very proper ribake, which the Fed eral offiei r seemed, tor a rarity, to feel and appreciate The ii tetv’ew alluded to above was with Mayor B be.

Oats, we regret to learn, are affect ed with the same disease from which wheat has suffered.

The occupation of New Orleans cannot, they be lieve, continue longer than June, because of the summer heat, malaria, and fevers-to which Northern troops will be exposed ; and as last la.ll they argued that, if they couid only hold out until winter, Europe would come to their assistance, so they now persuade themselves that summer will bring to tlieir redemption that tremendous destroyer—the yellow fever. It is not to be doubted that, with the coming summer, sicknets will very seriously affect the usefulness of our unacclimated soldiery in the South. On the Atlantic, as.on the Gull shores, billions diseases will make sad havoc among rank and file; and it the yellow fever appears, a3 it- is likely to, such places as New Orleans and Mobile will be wholly untenable. It will be for the Secretary of War to meet this difli eulty. The only means seem at this moment to be the ertroVme t and arming of the negroes in the various cities we may hold on the const, fur nishing thewAvil.il white officers of skill and accustomed to the climate, who ?hall drill and" discipline them, and exert over them a proper military coptrol. We know of no reason why j the preservation of order may not he safely i entrusted to this class of persons. They have i been employed in the ranks by the Confeder j ates them-elves; they make good and traeta ! ble soldiers ; the English have no better troops |in the West Indies; and we can safely reckon not only on their fidelity, hut on tlieir Immu nity from climatic diseases, i The subject, we are. hapjrg to is engaging the I attention if the government. A communication j in another column, from our Port Royal cor res j pondeut, shows that the temper of the blacks I has tieeu tested, by the direction of the War | Department, and they have shown an tinex i peeted alacrity in volunteering to bear arms, I and do tlieir devoir in field or garrison Of i chivalrous mood—for chivalry in south Caro | lina is not, it seems, a thing of colpr—the gov j eminent cannot too promptly avail itself All the time between this and dog days will be : needed to organize and discipline these Hamitic ; police brigades. | The Port Royal (South Carolina) correspon dent ol the New York Times , editorially en dorsed, says that, in view of this plan, General Hunter had summoned a greeting ot the blacks at Port Royal, “by the direction of the Wa r Department,” and had tested their temper, and that they had shown an “ unexpected alac rity in bearing arms.” This Yankee corres pondent. is quite in love with the project, and a'tera long description of the meeting, in which General fJnnt-r said the government h id “pro vided arms and equipments for them,” he grows quite happy over the picture of “retri butive justice” that is soon to be visited on South Carolina by this sublime and benificent experiment of b otherly love and union. He says: At all events, if the announcement is true concerning the arms and equipments to be sent to General Hunter for the use of the negroes, we shall soon see another principle demon strated—another tact tested—by that tagucious and fearless soldier. And then, if the experi ment prove a success,The question how to make South Carolina again loyal will have been an swered. We - hall at once find her soil occupied by a friendly people, outnumbering the rebels, and prepared to hold it for the government by the strong hand we have armed. Truly, to see South Carolina, the very seat of disloyaly, gar risoned, and guarded, and defended by those who so lately were slaves there to the lash and the chain—to see a black police maintaining order where so lately it was a crime for a negro to move but by a white man’s command ; and to see all ihis done under the Authority of gov ernment —unattended by disorder, unaccom panied by outrage—would be an example of retributive justice utuuixed with vengeance, sueh as history has never yet recorded. And what region so appropriate” tor the sublime and beneficent experiment as the State of South Carolina ?—and what, soil so tit for the grave of slavery as that where treason was born, nursed and reared to its dreadful maturity ? [From the Richmond Whig.] 'Hie City Defence*. The tardy preparations lor obstructing the river will, we hope, be completed in time to exclude the gunboats of tue enemy; but whilst we hear more encouraging reports of the pro gress and adequacy of these obstructions, we deem it a duty to look calmly upon possible results, lest we be taken by surprise trom a mere unwillingness to inspect the dangers which threaten us. This subject we commend to our authorities, general, 3tute aud municipal, not only in view of the necessity for straining every nerve for an indispensable de f ence, but even to the oon tetnplation of tiie conduct proper in the event these efforts should be ineffectual. Commercial cities arc iudeed in a lamentable condition. The apparent inadequacy of forti fications to prevent the access ol mailed ships, with modern projectiles, bus produced a state of things wholly unprovided for by the rules of war or the laws ot rations. Cities of large population may now be brought to destruction by a naval force which cannot be resisted ; and this, notwithstanding there may be no land force to mi-t.-in the water attack, and the ar mies defending the city may be sufficient to prevent any agtuai occupation by its euetny; even if it cspitu'aie. Commote a! cities are now likely to be re duced to the condition of women, children, clergyirifcu, and other non combatants. As they can make little resistance, and are exposed to injuries which they cannot retaliate, the world will be compelled to place them iu a similar category, and regard them as neutral. But this philosophical view of the future can not apply to our own prtSeu: uece-sities. due enemy commands the water; obstructions ol questionable < fleet a one prevent his gunboats Iroui approaching Richmond, and taking a position in whxh he will be impregnable to our assaults, whi st we will be t xposed to his mis sihs. Taking t ie wisest view of the matter, Rich mond, a euy of large wealth aud population— the seal of Confederate and Btate Goveruinsnt tbe Depot ot Confederate supplies—the Armory ol Confederate weapons—and the key to strate deal operations, and of the last moment to Vtrguita aud the Confederate cause—Rich mond—the chief scat of our commerce—the treasurer of our nuances—the store house ot our staple produce—the sett of ogr most ex tensive manufactures ol Hour, iron and wool, the owner of a latge number of slaves—Rich I tnond, surrounded by uu army amply adequate |to repel the enemy, may be as complete.> at the mercy oi an invulnerable foe as the uaarm ed traveller is ot the desperado who places a pistol at his breast and demands his money ! Here would be a dilemma. The enemy, su preme on one element, yet unable to operate effectually on another. Oar own force ade quate to the protection of our seat of Govern ment, yet unable to reply to the water assault, i Here would be a proper ease tor municipal neutrality, but this may not be expected. Our authorises wiil have to determine, iu the un happy contingency upon wuich we speculate, I whether to surrender the city to save it trom destruction, or tight it like Sirugossa, lor the good ot tne common cause. Whatever may be the decision of those eharg ; ed with the destiny ol our beautiful city, the ; responsibility of capitulation with the impris onment of our people and the confiscation of their effects—a defence with its inseparable ca lamities, is too great for us to embarrass even with an opinion. Gen. .1/ cKsox’s Victory. —We understand official intelligence was received at Richmond yesterday, stating that Gen. T. J. Jackson’s victory over the Federal General Milroy, is the most complete ot the war. The enemy have been utterly routed, losing baggage, ammuni tion, camp equipage, and everything eLe ot value. Such as have not been killed and cap tured, are wandering about the mountains iu a famished condition, and as all avenues ol es cape have been occupied by the Contederates, the entire force must eventually fall into our hands. Milroy’s army numbered about 13,000 men, and belonged to Fremont’s Mountain ; Department. Truly, this is a most inauspicious I beginning for Jessie and the great Pathfinder, j Fetertinny Evprtts. Cowardly Assault.— Sergeant Brown ol i Castle Pinckney was struck upon the head in j Unity Alley, Sunday evening, with a slung j shot, by some person unknown. The blow, which was very violent, struck on the right j side of the head near the temple, and rendered him insensible tor some time, tie was taken to the residence ot Mr. Wiison, in State street, ! where the wound was dressed. The cowardly j perpetrator escaped.— Charleston Courier. 1 [From the Mobile (Ala ) Ad/. A: Register, May 14.] Latest from New Orleans, Through the politeness of Mr. W. A. Arnold, we are in possession of New Orleans papers of Thursday, Bth inst., one day later than our latest previous advices. Mr. A. left New Or leans on Thursday by schooner, but reports that communication has since been cut off. A party of Fodfcrals from the city went up the Jackson road to Pasa Mansbac, on Wednes day night, and destroyed one span of the bridge at that point, so as to cut off communication in that direction. They captured on the way some of our people, who were at a statiou near by, aud it is said took them into the city. The invaders are already experiencing the ef fects of the summer climate in the Crescent city, and it is stated that about sixty have al ready died there They have established a hos pital in Odd Fellows’ Hall. Their conduct to wards the citizens continued to be mat ked with great circumspection and courtesy, evidently with the hope ot encouraging the development of that latent Union feeling which they have vainly imagined to exist in our city. The papers continue to be put to great straits for interesting matter for their columns, and two or three are gradually going into the “light litcratuu.” business, and publishing stories, romances, ct cetera, original and se lected 't he Picayune acknowleges the receipt ol a Philadelphia paper, aud “regrets that Us con tents are of such a nature as to make it almost a perfectly sealed book to us, tor any practical purposes, under the recent proclamation of General Butler. The saute paper announces that the steamer St. Maurice will leave the foot ot Jackson street at about live o’clock, this evening under the charge of A. D. Grieff, E-q , for Red Bivcr, iu accordance with the arrangements made be tween the city and military authorities, a- set forth iu the resolutions ot the former aud the orders of the latter. The Picayune has received a copy of the Ad vertiser & Register of the 4th inst , trom which it makes briet selections, the greater part of the paper being considered "contraband” in that quarter This did not prevent, however, the assemblage of a large crowd on Canal street to hear the paper read, and we are informed that wheu the stirring addtess of_B. auregaril to the “Army of the Mississippi and Elkhorn” was read out, cheer on cheer rent the air, des pite Gen. Butler and his Provost Marshals and his Massachusetts regiments. No interruption, however, was attempied, and the Grieanois en joyed the news in their own wa v. The following record of Wednesday’s pro ceedings in the “Federal Provost Court,” will perhaps be read with interest: Luther J. Carpenter, RothJphus Allen, of Company A, 81st, Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, and John i£. Palmer, ol Company C, ol the same regiment, were charged with stealing ale at the At. Charles Hotel on last Sunday, and were made to forfeit two months’ pay, aud do police duly two months ; Chester Devins, of the first named company aud regi ment, was made to ioiteit three months pay and perform three months police duty ; Win. Martin, Florence Barnard and Peter Ford, sailors, charged with drunkenness, were re manded to their ships for punishment by Up ir officers ; Thomas A. Fitzpatrick, Company A, 13th Regiment Maine Volunteers, drunk, for feited two months’ pay ; Alex. Stewart, sailor, druuk, fine §35 or sutler one week’s imprison ment in the Parish Prison ; George D. Murlbut, Reed’s Cavalry, dt auk, two momW policy duty ; Miles Flynn, Company B, 30m Regiment Massachusetts do. do ; ft. Philips, 0 h Massa chusetts Battery, drunk, two months’ pay for feited ; Michael McKern, same offence aud same peualty ; E. W. Outlaw, charged with shouting, creating disturbance and insulting (lie troops passing the St. Charles Hotel, on Friday last, was sentenced to three monies’ hard labor at Fort Jackson. The following eases were disposed of yester day : Thomas F. Meagher and Michael Corcoran, Oth Massachusetts Battery, couvicted of steal ing hardware, were each condemned to three months forfeiture of pay aud three months police duty—oue in handcuffs. Robert Phillips, of the same battery, for re peating his offence ol drunkenness and disturb ance, was sentenced lo do police du'y in hand cuff', one mouth. [The Crescent has changed its “Talk on ’Change” to “Talk on the Flags.” We clip from it this paragraph : We observed yesterday at anchor off Gravier street, the steamship Tennessee, lately captured in this port. If we are correctly advised, she was loaded several weeks since with cotton, and unfortunately for those interested, did not succeed in getting to sea. We are informed that she was under sailing orders for New York. It must be nearly one year since New York was greeted with a direct arrival from the Crescent City. [P’tom the St. Louis Republican - ] A Federal Plan lor Summer Opera ions, The summer mouths are fast approaching, during which active and extensive military operations in the gulf States will be almost im possible. Ere the end of May Gen. McClellan will have nearly freed Virginia, and, following the retreating foe, he, with Gen. Burnside’s aid, will soon leave North Carolina bare of any ex tensive force. As Gen. Beauregard’s army now - lies, it has but two ways ol retreat if defeated—either to Memphis or southward, over eastern Mississip pi. It badly worsted in the expected fight, a retreat to Memphis by Gen. Beauregard would only be a make shift. Bat should he retreat southward, he will net only keep open bis com munication with his reserve at Charleston, Au gusta, Mobile and New Orleans, but subject our pursuing army to all the disadvantages of mala rious climate. Besides, expenses of transporta tion will become enormous to our army. Such a retreat ought to be prevented if possible Wi h a view to the approaching warm weath er, we doubt not the idea ot a military cordon between the half conquered and the Gull States has suggested itself to Gen. Halleck. And na ture has more opportunely offered such a line ia tlte right place ; and art has even lent her hand in improving it. Upon a line from Beaufort, North Carolina, to Memphis, a long stretch of the Apalachiau chain cin be made available iu forming such a line. Striking the mount tins in the western part of North Carolina the line, without in convenient deflection, may be carried either through the mountains ol tipper Georgia, or along the Cumberland Mountains to Chatta nooga—thence to Huntsville, Florence aud Memphis. The mountainous regions of North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee, are replete with the coolest springs; but it is in Alabama that are to be louud some of the largest natural springs in the world. At Bellefontaine, (well named) in Jackson county, is the first ot these remark able springs. Its cool waves break from a limestone cleft, and run off a stream large enough to carry a dozen saw mills. Between Bi lletomuiue and Huntsville, by the roadside anotner wells up from among some limestone boulders, and toitns a rivulet two or three feet deep. At Huntsville is another and still an other at Tu-eumdia, neither giving out less Uan live thousand gallons a minute. From all Lhesc we have drank the ‘‘drink of go’s and men ” \Ye presume there are many others. The occupation of this line is ol vast impor tance, in a ra iroad point ol view. It cuts the connection between Charleston and Richmond at Raleigh ; it severs Virginia from the south west by breaking the road at Chattanooga, and it cuts Memphis from Charleston. Besides, it renders the Cumberland and Tennessee useless to secession; and with the Mississippi wholly ours, the rebels will have bat a small share leit of the magnificent slice carved from the Union by secession ordinances. By occupying this line duiing the hot months, wc sheli possess, through the media of the Mississippi, the Tennessee, ana the Cumber land, the cheapest possible means of subsist ing tbo army, (should the foe in the Gult States make head lor fight, he would have to do it on the ground we chose for him ; or should the fragments ot forces in the ball conquered rebel States be troublesome, our army would always be in striking distance. Another advantage of such a military line would be this : White we should keep the mere viruient secession hordes upon their own dung heaps we should give North Carolina, Tennessee, etc., time to chew the cud ot n (lec tion—to lake the “sober second thought,” and these, aided by the advantages of gradually re opening trade, may do more than bayonets. It will be recollected that several towns in upper Alabama kept ihe Union Hag flying even alter the State seceded ; the mountainous regions of Nortn Carolina and Georgia have few slaves, and lienee, like East Tennessee, are strongly imbibed with Union sentiments. Another F he. —Yesterday about 10 o’clock, the alarm ot tire was sounded. We repaired to the scene—on the premises of W. K. Bagby, on New Whitehall street, in the suburbs ot the ! southern portion ol tbo city, and found a I wooden smoke-house on fire, which was burned down. Our firemen were promptly on ihe spot, and quickly extinguished the flames of j the fallen buildiug. __ | The smoke-house contained some 17,500 j pounds of Government bacon, which had just j bten hung up by Air.

' The following battle address was issued by General Bragg just before the recent engage ment at Corinth : Headquarters 21 Corps, Army of the ) Miaasaa'Fi, Coriutb, May 3d, 1362. f Soldkrc .—Yon art again about t,o encounter tbe mercenary invader who pollutes the sacred soil of out beloved country. Severely punished and driveu from his chosen position, with a loss of his artillery and Ills honor at Shiloh, when double your numbers, heuow approaches c allously and timidly—awaiting to advance, unable to retreat. Could his rank and file en joy a friemau’ii right, not one would remain within our Bruits ; but ihey are goaded on un der a tyrant’s lash by desperate leaders, whose only safety iie< in mcoes“. Such aloe ought, never to conquer freemen hauling upou their own soil. You will en counter him in your chosen posi'ion, strong by nature and improved by art,—away from bis maiD support aud reliance—gnnboa.sand heavy batteries ; and, for the first time in this war, with nearly equal numbers. Tiie slight reverses we have met on the seaboard have worked us good as well as evil—the brave troops, so long retained there, have hastened to swell our numbers, whilst the gallant Van Dorn aud in vincible Price, with Uie ever successful “Army of the West,” are now in your midst with numbers almost equalling the ‘Army of Shiloh.’ We have, then, but to strike and destroy ; and, as the enemy’s whole resources are concentrat ed here, we shall not only redeem Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri at oue blow, but open the portals ot the whole Northwest. Braxton Bragg, Official. Gen. Com. Second < orps. George G. Garner, Assistant Adjutant Gen. A Timely Appeal. The following address “to all magistrates and citizens,” emanating from Brigadier General Slaughter, Inspector General of the “Army of the Mississippi,” at Corinth, though intended mainly for ciicnlatiou in the Southwest, Is ap propriate to all sections of the Confederacy, and will, wc trust, find its way to every nook and Atruer. Let not,its appeal pass unheeded.: To all Magistrates and Citizens : A powerful enemy, with a large army, has in vaded our homes. Our brave soldiers are gath ering for the ho'y purpose of chiving him trm our soil. There is a duty wjiicli you can per form, nd we call upou you as faithful magis trates and good citizens to discharge it. Some of our soldiers are absent without leave, and some O': furloughs granted them when their services were not so urgently needed All should return at once to duty. We call upon you to send them back to the ranks. Show them by your counsels what their duty is, what their country demands and expects, and enforce their return. Should any play the laggard or shrink from the contest, hold them up to the scorn and indignation of your communities. Your earnest and zealous aid is sought, and by aiding our gallant army in this respect, you w ill entitle yourselves to the gratitude ot the country and aid in driving the oppressor from our soil. Newspapers friendly to our cause are respect fully nqu sted to publish the foregoing. The i'rivateer Sumter. arrival of her commander and officers in . ENGLAND. [From the London Times, April IS.] Capt. Setnmes and the officers of the Confed erate steamer Sumter arrived in Englaud in the steamship Mooltan, which left Gibraltar on the 12 h April. The Gibraltar Chronicle, of, the 11th of April, says: “The c.ew of the Confederate States steamer Suuiter is being paid cff. It is report ed that the officers will return to England, and the vessel be sold.” Oae ot the officers to whom tliis statement was mentioned denies its truih as 'to the sale ot the ship ; but beyond this contradiction, and the statement that the Sumter remains at Gibraltar in charge of one or two officers, nothing could be elicited from them, they being of course, ‘very uncommuni cative as to the future movements either of themselves or their ship. [From ilie London Star, April 19.] Among tiie passengers by the Mooltan, which arrived at Southampton ou Thursday with the Australian mail, was Oapt Semmes, the com mander of tiie Confederate man of war Sumter, whose daring achievements iu the Caribbean Sea have attracted such attention. After cap turing and destroying almost a fleet of mer chant shipping among the West India Islands and in the South Atlantic, the Sumter escaped to Europe, aud there immediately commenced destroying Federal shipping in the British Channel and the Bay of Biscay. Captain Semmes is a small, thin, but wiry man, with a weather beaten countenance, ot a most determined lookiug character. Although not by any means an old man, bis moustacne and beard are quite white, fie was very aux ious to know whether the Confederate army had fought any great battle alter retiring from Manassas, and what progress the Federals had made at the mouth ot the Mississippi. Among his baggage was an immense trunk, filled, it was rumored, with booty selected from tfhptur cd ships. Captain Semmes is related to Mr, Jefferson Davis, the Confederate President. The other officers of the Sumter were also on board the Mooltan. They appeared veiy young. Letters to the Enemy —When Sewell’s Point was evacuated, our soldiers left behiud them, lor the information of the enemy who might subsequently occupy it, fully one hun dred letters.
