LATE NORTHERN INTELLIGENCE.
Interesting Foreign News.
We take the following batch of foreign talk
from the Richmond Enquirer:
We have received several Northern papers oi
late date, among them a copy of the Baltimore
‘ News Sheet,” of May 14th, from which we
make the following selections. We commence
with the news from Europe, which will be
found of uuusual interest:
AMERICAN AFFiIKS -IN FRANCE—INTERVENTION
again proposed.
[Correspoudknee of the New York Herald.]
Paris, April 29.—1 t is a fact which should not
be lost sight of, in appreciating the articles of
the Paris uewspapers upon American affairs,
that all the journals which pass for possessing a
semi-official character have taken up the cud
gels in favor of the South, while ail of those
which have been earutst in our bebalf arc
known as “opposition journals.”
The former are the Constitutionnel, the Patrie
and the Pays. The Constitutionnel is supposed
to derive its inspirations from Count Walewski,
-Minister of State, and the Count de Persiffty,
Minister of the Interior; while the Petrie ob
tains its from the Viscount de la Guerroniere,
formerly Director ot the Department of the
Press and now a Senator and an intimate per
sonal’friend and adviser of the Emperor. The
Patrie and Pays, it is well kuowu, were sub-i
--dized in behalf of the Confederacy about the
time that Judge Rost made his appearance in
Paris, and since then have been made the me
dium for publication of ail the lies which have
been sent over from America and manutaetured
here, for the purpose of prejudicing our cause
in the eyes ot Europe.
For a short time after the arrival of Mr.
Slidell, the Patrie seemed to have cooled down
in its enthusiasm ; but within a few weeks past
it has become as rabid and as unscrupulous as
ever, and it is well kuown that the managing
editor is a constant visitor at Mr. Slidell’s, and
that mnch of the matter published in it is
tin-uished by the Confederate ambassador him
self.
so much for the journals opposed to us.—
Those upon our side, as I have already men
tioned, the Debats, the organ of the Orieanists;
the Presse liberal and opposition, of slightly
republican tendencies; the Sieele, liberal and
strongly republican, the journal of the largest
circulation (60,000) of any in France, and the
organ of the industrial classes, and the Opinion
Nationale, our staunchest and most earnest
friend.
This latter journal was established two years
ago last August, and it was well understood at
the time that a considerable portion ot the
capital to found it was furnished by the late
Prince Jerome, and that upon his death his in
terest iri it was transferred to his son. the Prince
Napoleon, whose organ, indeed, it is now sup
posed to be Its principal characteristics are
generally liberal views upon ail political suit
jects, an intense hatred of England, and a
strong love for our country, in the manifesta
tion of which it has never wavered—even dur
ing the excitiug discussions upon the Trent
affitir.when the “Presse” refused to receive any
more articles from M. Juif, who had been writ
ing in our behalf, and published others which
were conceived iu a bitter spirit df opposition.
The ‘ Opinion" was urging upotj Frauce the
necessity of avoiding any coalition which would
have a tendency Jo crush the growing power
of onr country and tos rengihen that oI perjlde
Albion.
tue Patrie of Saturday gives the Journal des
Debars a blast, and quotes nearly the whole ol
the recent article ot the London Post. The
Sieele inquires if the presence of the “two aids
de-camp” iu question has not had some influ
ence upon the course which the Patrie has
pursued ; and the “Constitutionel” of yester
day contains number two of the “War in
America,” in which, after maintaining the
rights of Secession, praising Mr. Gladstone and
tile Morning Post, and damning the Journal
des Deliats, it closes as follows :—“The people
of America fight, but the people ot France
suffer ; the American battle iietds are covered
with dead, but the industrial battle fields ol
Europe are covered with wounded. And, un
folunately, so long as war continues in America,
so long will the suffering last in Fi ance and
England, We have then the right to say t > tue
Journal des Debats, ‘You misled public opin
ion in pretending that the war betweeu the
South and the North is nearly flnished.’ We
enlighten it in saying that such is not the
and that even if the armies of the South should
be vanquished, the South would not be subju
gated.”
The sudden and unanimous demonstration in
bebaif of the South made by the Government
journals, coming simultaneously with the arii
cle in Lord Palmerston’s organ and the speech
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, accom
panied with the news which reached us yester
day t>y telegraph, tlint M. Moreicr had gone to
Richmond, revives the hope ol the Confederates
and rather alarms loyal men here, with the fear
that France and England are again thinking ot
interfering. That notes have been passing be
tween the two Governments withiu the past
week in relation to this matter there is no doubt,
and it is generally believed in well informed
elrcl. s that distinct propositions have been
again,made by the English Cabinet that France
should join her in breaking the blockade, and
opeuiug a trade with the South. Thouvenel
aud Roulier, the Minister of Commerce, (who
was converted to secessionism by Butler King,)
have, it is said, urged the Emperor to assent to
the Eoglish propositions; but the Emperor,
advised by our staunch friend, the Prince Na
poleon, still says “No.” In the meanwhile Mr.
Slidell is working like a beaver with Senators
aud other men iu position, and on Saturday last
had a prolonged iulerview with M. Thouvenel.
TIIE LATEST NEWS.
London, M\y 1. —The Stock Exchange and
nil otliei- places of business are closed, this
being the opening day of the great Interna
tional Exhibition.
The London “Times” adopts as its own the
recent remarks of Mr. Gladstone, on the Amer
ican question, in his speech at Manchester.—
It admits that the circumstances attending the
secession ol the Southern States, were a stiffi
cient excuse for the rashness ot rushing into a
war without considering the consequences. It
was always ready to make allowances for the
Northerners if they would only have made
some allowance for England’s position as a
neutral Power. It claims that Eugland has ob
served a most disinterested and seif denying
coarse, and concludes by asserting that .the
real question rests entirely in whether the heart
ot t;ie South is set on separation.

GENS. M’CLELLAN AND HALLEC'K.
What I said long ago about the utter incom
petency ot McClellan is rapidly forcing itself
into a great truth. The public in this city, and
of the North, are divided now. Some persons
think he is a traitor, and that he will act the
part tried by Benedict Arnold. Others think
be will not prove traitor, bat only a fool, and
that he will merely be whipped badly and then
retire from the public service. The President
has dwindled down his command from the
“Chief,” to be “at the head ot the army of the
Potomac. Now he U merely in command at
oue point; he will probably bo whipped there,
and that will be the last of him. His command
has been an awful series of blunders.
It seems the greatest of crimes that with an
army of 250 000, he should have permitted 00,-
000 to leave the Potornac, and 20,000 to be
transferred to the Mississippi, there to fight
under Beauregard, and nearly destroy the army
of General Grant, t hese men are slave owner
Generals. So is blundering Halleck at. the West.
So, it seems, is Buell, and a precious hopeful
lot of them. These men play into the hands ot
the Confederates. They re'use to act against
the slaves; their sympathies are with the Con
federates, and while this lasts we snail gain no
secure victories. An able commander would
have ended lids rebellion months ago. It looks
now as if we had got to fight it all over again
with new commanders.
Halleck deserves to tie styled the Maj >r Gene
ral Liar of the West. ll* has'now, on three occa
sion, sent ou by telegraph the most monsfous
lies about winning buttes that were ever con
cocted. He lately announced that Islaud No. 10 ;
was taken a month before it surrenderee Con- !
troliugthe telegraph, he sent on the foulest lie |
about the battle ot Pittsburg Landing that was j
ever circulated. The tacts are now well known j
in itiis city and at Washington. We were ;
terribly beaten ; but on the second (Tay, tbe j
Union army, outnumbering the Confederates. j
recovered a port ion of the ground from which |
they had been driven tbe previous day, and the j
Confederates on the second day retired to their 1
fortified position, carrying with them several j
thousand pri-ouers. We took no prisoners, j
aud were terribly cut to pieces.
But for our having double the force of the
Confederates, the entire army would have been
slaughtered by Beauregard and his men. There
is no need of lying about the matter. It does
BO good. The cheering news that went to Eu
rope by tbe Asia, is not# coir;.dieted by the
Anbia to-day. I have no doubt that Beaure
gard will be driven away and his army will be ;
destroyed, unless military' incompetence allow :
it to escape; but thus far treason in the part;
of Gen Buell, or some other slave owner lov
ing General, has peril!, and the cause of the coun
try. '1 he*e events of the war h ive discouraged
the friends ot the Union. Generals are trying
to make political capital at the South and the J
result will be that, until they are got rid of, our j
chances of success are v-ry quiet. It we get i

and the people will so regard it.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM W ASUINGTON ItESTO
RATION OF TUE UNION —THE PROBLEM SOLVED.
Within a few days from this date a proclama
tion will be issued by the President, as an
nounced by Mr. Seward in his circulars to the
foreign Ministers, openiug to foreign and do
mestic commerce ihe ports of Newbern, Beau
fort, Savannah, Fernand ma and New Orleans.
From the date of that proclamation the great
nroblem ot the. restoration of the Luton may
be°considered as so-v.d Every one famUiar
with the history ot the lortuaiion ot the Lmon
under the constitution ot the United States, and
with the oigauizition ol the federal govern
lD First— That the great leading ol j-ct, which
contributed more than anything else to the
establishment of the lederal government under
the present constitution was fo form a system
for tho regulation of trade with foreign nations
and between the States. This \yas oue of the
strongest arguments for the Union urged in
the Convention, and afterwards in the federal
ist, aud was the declared ground of action by
some of the States. ~
Secouu —The power and authoiity ot tho fed
eral government is not, never has been, and,
under the constitution, never can be, exercised
within the State to much extent upon anything
else than foreign and doinest c trade., the
whole federal machinery ot government in the
States comprises otily the custom house, tue
post office and the courts. The commercial
power—the custom house is the chief insttu—
ment or agency of federal government upon
the States. The post office and federal courts
are merely ancillary to the commercial power;
they might be left out altogether, and all the
important functions of the federal government
in the States would still remain.
• When tbe rebellion broke out its first great
blow was struck at the trade and commerce
which the federal government had hitherto
maintained between the States. Commerce
with the loyal Sates was destroyed by the rebels.
The state ot the rebellion necessarily compelled
tbe federal government to cut off foreign com
merce with ihe rebel States. While this condi
tion ol things existed there was practically no
Union ; but when foreign and domestic trade
is re established then the Union is substantially
restored, and all the important functions evr
exercised by the federal government are brought
into action. The establishment of post offices and
of courts must soon follow, and, the advantages
of trade and friendly intercourse being append
ed, every tendency will then operate upon the
feelings ot tbe people in the rebel States to allay
hostility and cultivate and restore friendly re
lations. The power of the government being
firmly established at the ports and along the
seaboard, it is against experience and every
principle oi butnau nature of a trading people,
who have once enjoyed the blessings of peace
ful commerce, to continue iu a slate of war
fare.
The rebel leaders threaten a system of gue
rilla war iu the rebel atatss, and especially in
the mountain regions, which will be exhausting
and ruinoks to the federal government; and
they point with savage exultation to La Ven
dee and Spain ; but the forget the wide differ
ence between the iuabitants ot the United
States aud the people who have carried on a
protracted guerilla warfare. The Spaniards
and the French of La Vendee had never enjoyed
the advantages afforded by tho United states
government; they had no commercial interests;
their customs and nature were in accordance
with savage feelings that engender and keep up
an irregular warfare ; whereas, the passions
that have brought on this rebellion are in con
flict witn the genius and tbe customs of the
people.
Let the it fluenee of (he new order of things
about to be introduced by the President’s pro
clamation be considered for a moment, and i„
will be seen that the restoration of ihe Union
and the re establishment ot tbe federal govern
ment in the rebel S;a es are already in a great
measure accomplished.
The ports or North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia,Louisiana aud Florida are opened. New
Orleans is substantially the port ot Texas, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Arkansas. Domestic
and loreign commerce is thus opened under the
llag'ol the Union iu every State. lu each State
commerce will be protected by an army and by
a fleet. Law is planted in each State. Protection
to all loyal citizens will be secured. How long
can such a people as the inhabitants of tile
South hold out against such a state of things,
where everything is to be gained by returning
to their loyalty, and everything lost by con
tinuing in rebellion ?
Besides, in each State there is a federal aimy.
its supplies will c institute a laige domestic
trade its presence will bring together Northern
merchants, mechanics aud farmers, and will
introduce and fPnily establish them m a region
from which they have hitherto in a great mea
sure been excluded. This will also stimulate
the trade and manufactures of the Northern
cities. What can resist such influence! 1
To foreign commerce the great avenue is
opened at New Oi leans for the staples of ,he
South and ihe Southwestern Slates. The
foreign greed that lias prompted sympathy
with the rebels will speedily discover rebellion
to be its only antagonist, and thus every foreign
as well as domestic iuleiest must speedily
by turned against the traitors who have b -ought
on tliis war, and whose personal ambition aud
saiei.y are the only things iu the way of restor
ing commerce aud civilization to their accus
tomed channels. Is not the problem ol a
restoration of the Union already solved ?
The Union was formed to establish commerce
by authority and under the protection of a fed
eral government, with foreign nations aud be
tweeu the States. That commerce was destroy
ed by the rebellion, and ils restoration, under
the authority and protection ot the federal
government, restoies the Union.

To the Editor of the Herald .-—Knowing that
you would not he designedly unjust, I call your
attention to an error in the statement of your

is in your paper of Friday. In giving a sketch
of the life of my West Point classmate, Gen.
Fitz Johu Porter, he mentions several of the
class who now occupy distinguished positions
iu our army, and then among those who are in
the rebel ranks be includes my name I desire
you to favor me by announcing that neither in
thought, word nor deed am Ia rebel, but a loy
al citizen oi Lite best government in the world.
I was brought up under the Stars and Stripes,
and ineau to adhere to them as long as I live;
and i intend to reside, it nothing unforeseen
should occur, where I have resided for seven
years past, hi Puiiadelphia, where loyalty is the
rule, and tebels are not countenanced. I will
only add that your letter writer probibly con
sulted a “register of officers, and graduates,”
aud finding that I was from Georgia, and had
resigned—albeit so tar back as 1855—took it lor
granted that I was iu the ranks of rebellion, a
decided non segintur, in one case, at least. —

NO PEACE TILL SLAVEKV IS ABOLISHED.
The annual sermon before the Church Anli-
Slavery Society was preached t>y the Rev. Dr
Cheever, at Union square church, last evening.
The building was comfortably filled. The rev
ereud gentleman selected his text from the
ll'J.h P-alm, the 134 h verse. The discourse
was a vigorous one, and, as usual with the ser
mons ot this preacher, was reduudant with as
saults ou the citadel of slavery. He regarded
the emancipation ol the slaves iu the District of

and insisted that no peace should be made with
the rebels unless slavery be altogether extin
guished.
A General of the Good Times. —
Fremont’s operations in Western Virginia re
mind one ot those days of cautious strategy
when military leaders ouly acted on precedent,
and studied whole campaigns before venturing
a move. Those were the times when a certain
K.ng of France gained an enduring replitattoxi
in another mountain department by his tki iful
hillside manoeuvres. With only ten thousand
less troops than that royal commander possess
ed,* Fremont bids fair to win equal fame. His
head must indeed be occupied with magnificent
strategic combinations when he allows the loyal
people of Western Virginia and Eastern Ten
nessee to be scourged by small bodies ot bush
whackers aud guerillas, when he could so easily
put an end to their sufferings. With a fourth
part of the force which he has at bis disposal.
General Milehei would, ere tliis, have cleared
both districts of the enemy. The great military
plans with which Fremont’s head is filled do
not, however, leave himJeisure to occupy him
self with such unimportant features of the cam
paign. If we only wait Img enough we shall
no doubt witness some important results from
his military cogitations. But, in the meantime
is there not a danger that the war will come to
an end ?
Rebel Bombast.—A few days ago we re
ceived aad published a boinbastie rep’y to the
demand of Commodore Faringui for tho sur
render of New Orleans, signed by pne John
Monroe, Mayor, declaring mat he would never
surrender the great Crescent Cay to a parcel of
Yankees. But the next news we heard was
that the magnificent city of the South was ac
tually held in subjection and occupation by a
single battalion of United Slates marints.—
We published yesterday au account of a com
munication from Genera! Lawton to the City
Council of Savannah, declaring that he would
never surrender the city—a heroic resolution,
which we are told the City Fathers avowed
their determination to sustain. By a parity of
reasoning, then, we conclude that we shall
soon hear of the suirender ot Savannah.
Kuuntiig the Ulocknde—Chase Afier
Uje ‘‘Mebe!” Vessels— Capture ol* tSie
Ufa Win Ivy, etc.
We find in the Northern papers accounts o*
the operations of the blockading fleet off the
S juthern coast. A Yankee correspondent gives
the following narrative of an exciting chase and
capture of several vessels off 1 the South Caro
lina coast, amoDg others the tine steamer Elia
vVarley. The account says :
On the 23d, while running along under easy
steam, making about five miles an hour, about
ten o’clock A. M., ihe lookout at the masthead
gave tho welcome cry, “Sail, ho!”
“ Where away ?” shouts the officer of the
d< ck
“About one point on our starboard bow.”
“Can you uiuke her out ?"
“She looks like a steamer, fir.”
The quartermaster went aloft with a glass and
reported that he could see the masts and smoke
stack of a steamer. The order was immediately
given to stir up the fires and put the ship in the
best condition lor a chase WeSuppos and her
to he the Ella Warity, alias Isabel, or the Aus
tin, both oi which rebel vessels we left ia Ha
vana. As soon as she was “hull up” we paw
tt at it was neither llie one nor the other. We
were steering diiectly across her bow and “pick
ing her up” fast She continued her course
until she was near enough to scan us well, when
apparently not being pleased witn our appear
ance, she turned and ii and with ail speed, shift
ing her course from north by east to north half
west. We were pow about eight miles apart.
The chase now commenced in good earnest.
Our awnings were taken down, our top and
lower yards sent on deck, our wheel texens
hauled up, aud every thing that could impede
the progress of the ship removed. The sea
was smooth, the sky clear, and air cool and
bracing. It took us an hour to get up a full
In ad of steam, during which lime the steamer in
creased her distance a little For the next three
hours we were steering directly iu her wake,
holding our own certain, and perhaps gaining
a trifle on her. We now .made her out to be
the Nashville, and knowing the speed t>f that
famous vessel, we had little hopes of over
hauling her. She was evidently gauging her
speed and keeping us at a proper distance until
nightfall, when she would elude us under the
cover of darkness, change her course, and run
into Charleston. We continued in the same
relative position towards each other until four
o'clock in the a ternoon, when she suddenly
left us at the rate of at least three mile 6 an
hour. We were making eleven and a half. At
sunset she was “hull down” to ihe northwest,
latitude 28, 20, longitude 77. It was useless to
pursue her further, and seeing a suspicious
looking sail about six miles distant, on our
port bow, we hauled up, aud soon were withiu
hail of a small white schooner. We learned
subsequently that the Nashville coaled outside
the harbor of Nassau, N. P., a few days pre
vious to our chase ot her, she being heavily
laden couiil not pass the bar with her coal iu.
Stie had a valuable cargo of arms, ammunition,
&c. We were now withiu hail ot the schooner.
‘ Schooner ahoy !” shouted the officer.
“Ay, ay, sir,” was tiie reply.
‘ VVliat schooner is that V”
“Don’t know ”
“Where are yon from ?”
“Don’t kuow ”
“Where are you bouud ?”
. “Hilifax.”
“Hoist your ensign.”
“Haiu’i got any.”
“Heave to.”
“Ay, ay, sir.”
Wtiile lowering our boat to board her the
lookout on the wheelhouse sung out, “Cotton,
cotton on deck.” Sure enough, du.-k though
it was, the ends of cotton bales could be seen
sticking out from under the Scanty covering
with which -the rebels had attempted to conceal
their deck load. The schooner proved to be
from Charleston, bound for Nassau. She left
Charli sum the day previous. She had no name,
no papers, uofltg.no nothing. Her master’s
name is William Maseman, and she had a crew
of six men. Her cargo consisted of a hundred
and seventy bales of cotton. The master and
crew were "taken on board the steamer, aud late
master Muidaur, master’s mate Dwyer, and a
prize crew of six meu put on board the schoon
er. We then took her in tow and headed tor
Key West. The next morning, b..ving towed
her out of danger ot recapture, and the wind
being fair to take her to Key West, we cast her
off, to make the best of her way alone, while
the Santiago put about in search of the Austin
and Isabel.
We had scarcely got back to our cruising
grounds when we saw one long sought friend,
the Isabel, or, as she is now called, the Ella
Warley, at a distance of about ten miles, mak
ing for Charleston as fast as she could. We
knew her iu an instant, aud knew also that
there was no escape for her. II not good for the
Nashville, we can beat the Isabel as bad as tbe
Nashville beat us. When she first saw us she
mistook us for another steamer. Oar yards
being down disguised ns. As soon as abe made
us out she changed her course, but instead of
trying to get away she gtacefully met us half
way, and submitted without a murmur. When
in‘Havana last v.e lay alongside of her and
coaled from the same wharf. Lieutenant Gib
s*n. Acting Master Sche ek, Sergeant Hamil
ton, seven marines, and a crew of sixteen men,
were immediately put on board the Ella War
ley, and the captain, mate and pilot of her taken
on board the, Santiago. All being ready we
headed for Port Koyal, where we purposed get
ting a crew to take the Ella Wat ley to N. York,
as we wue too much crippled for active ser
vice with so many officers and seamen out of
the ship.
The next day we fell in with the schooner
Mersey, with a blockade cargo. The account
they gave of themselves not being s tisfactory,
we took possession of tbe schooner and pul her
in charge ot Acting Master’s Mate Ellery, and
a prize crew, and took her in low for Port Royal.
The weather was exceedingly rough, the
schootier towed badly, and our progress was
very slow. We did not reach the light slop oft’
Port Royal until nine o’clock Sunday evening.
On the 27ih we am bored outside the harbor
and waited for daylight. At daylight we got
up anchor aud attempt and to get in, but in about
fifteen minutes we struck on the north breakers.
Tne tide was full flood, and we went on nearly
the full length of the ship before the engine
could be reversed. Uur prize, tbe Ella Warley,
seor gus -trike avoided the breakers, got safely
iuto the harbor, and auebored alongside the
il.ig ship.
Alter casting iff the schooner we backed off
tbe breakers without difficult}. The Santiago
2 >t several severe bump-, but received no in
jury of conscqueuce. Fearing to make another
attempt, we anchored and waited lor a pilot.
We learn that one of the buoys bad been re
moved, consequently the chart misled us. Hav
ing obtained a pilot, we went into the harbor
aud anchored. We could not obtaiu efficers
aud men to m m our prizes, lb. retore we were
obliged to convey them to New York ourselves.
Spent the next day in coaling the E la Warley
and giving her water, aud on the morning ot
the 30„h left Port Royal for New York. Be ore
leaving, bowev.r, we sent Mr. (Jogge-shiil on
board tbe schooner Mersey, in piaee ot Mr.
Ellery, who returned on board the steamer.
The schooner was ordered to make for New
York. We passed her as we came out of the
harbor, beating out.
When off Charleston, the same day, we made
a small schooner, whose movements were sus
picious. We bore down for her, and, in an
swer to our hail, s.e sad she was going into the
blockading squadron for water. We sent our
officer ou board, yy ho found her papers to be
evidently bogus, and her cargo well suited to
the Chai’iestou market, the was on blockade
ground, about twelve miles from Charleston.
We took possession of her and put Mr. Eiiery
on boa. das prize master, with a crew of six
men. The owner of the vessel and cargo was
on board as a passenger. We took him ou
board the steamer, and made him comfortable,
in the company ot eighteen other prisoners be
longing to the different prizes captured during
the cruise.
All being arranged, we steamed on again with
the Elia Warley following in cur wake. The
weather for the next two days was what the
aiiors call “hast”—squally, rainy, with severe
thunder and lightning. This, with the night
togs, made our progress slow. We gave the
land a wide berth, which made our passage from
Port Royal longer than it wouldotkerw .ee have
been. We had sixty officers ana men out of
the ship, which made the labor much harder
for the officers and men remaining on board.

An Explanation of Lite Affair at illilGge
port, Tcunctsce,
Ch ittanooga, May 5, 1862
Dear Snt:
* * * * * * *
Major Gen. E. K. Smith was suddenly called
hence to the Ueienee of Cumberland Gap,
leaving Brig. Gen. Lead bet (er, with two raw
Georgia regiments, to defend this position, ex
pressing the opinion that the eueray at Hunts
ville would move westward rather than east
ward, but ordering that if lie should march .on
Cbatauooga wo should fall back, burning all
bridges on the way, until we could make a
stand, excepting that part of the bridge at
Bridgeport, over the main branch of Tennessee
river, one span of which was to be blown up.
Tuesday last Gen. Leadbet ter was at Bridge
port, with all the available force under his com
mand, being less that, five hundred men, uu
traiued aud recently armed. Tim enemy
approached with over eleven hundred men auii
two Parrott guns, when the. alternative was
presented oi losing his command or ia'l.ug
back.
It he had awaited an attack his men would
have been dispersed by the shells, and then
cut to pieces in passing the bridge and trestle
-one and a quarter milts - raked by the ene
my’* guns, and the bridge would have been
seized perhaps with the best part of the meu
cut off'.
Ju t in time to avert such resu fs, Gen. L.
ordeied the detachment to fall back over the
bridge, protected by one hundred men, whom
he placed at its head under partial cover. Ail
passed over in good order except some pickets
just arrived from below, who seemed unwilling
to risk a passage over the bridge under the gnus
of the enemy, although the rear gum and had just
passed when [hey arrived. After all bad passed
the east end of the, main bridge but the pickets,
who had ordered arms on the west buuk, Geli.
L., with L cut. Margrave, of Sappers arid Mi
ners, and one mm, remained to arrange a mine
under one span, and waited so long for the
pickets to cross over that they were obliged to
shorten the fuse to prevent the enemy from
putting it out before explosion. Having fired
it they followed the troops over; iu rear of
these troops was a car loaded withs ores, at
wdiich the enemy continued to lire whilst pass
ing the causeway over the island between the
two bridges. This car was without brakes, and
when it got upon the grade Rear the east em[ of
the bridge, it escaped the control of the men in
charge, aud ran over several men caught by it
on the track
In passing the eastern part oi the bridge, that
over the smaller braueh of the river, Gen. L
ordered it to be fired, and recalled a part of the
forces to guard it tiii it should be fully iu flames.
He then came back to the train, which he
found filled with our men in utter disorder;
when he judge! it prudent to withdraw them to
this place, return them with some expected re
inforcements, and again aavr. ee to meet the
eiieutp on better ground.
Hu directed the officers left with the men,
who could not get on the train, to keep their
men together as well as possible, and await an
other train which he would dispatch on his
arrival in Chattanooga.
This train was scut back as soon as possible;
but. meantime, all our men had scattered and
followed afoot, leaving all their baggage. The
next day Col. Reynolds was sent down with all
the force that could be gathered, to collect the
baggage and watch the enemy. About 10 P.
M., on Friday, Guu. L. received a uff>aui, as
follows:
Whitesides Tenn.
Gen. Leadbetter: Scout came iu from Kelly's
Farm, reported, on reliable information, that
the t nemy, five thousand strong, had crossed
Shell Mound.
(Signed) A. W. Reynolds,
Col. Coiud’g.
To which this answer was sent immediately :
lleadq’ks Ist Brigade, East Tunn.,
Chattanooga, May 24, ISG2.
Gen. A. W. Reynolds, Whitesides :
If you are satisfied your information is re
liable, bum all the bridges o i tin; railroad and
country round, and fail back with your corn
rnand to Lookout Mountain. 1 will meet you
there with Col. Glenn’s regiment.
(Signed) D. LEADBETTER.
• Brig. General.
They met ( n the west side of Lookout Mono
tain, where ail roads of the vicinity converge,
and thence an order was sent to the Lieuteu
ant iu command of advance guard to burn the
bridges iu question, as the pickets might be
driven in.
After the enemy had retired, and after we
had returned to camp, as the pickets returned
also, the bridge over Lookout, tliis side of the
coal mines, was burned by the Lieutenant im
mediately in command, as before stateJ, under
the protest of Major Cooper, who had just
passed over the road afoot from Shell Mound,
and assured him Unit there was no enemy be
tween the two places This burning was un
fortunate —was the result of misapprehension,
and ihe injury ordered to be remedied as soon
us known.
I need not say to you that the imputations
upon Gun. L’s loyalty and sobriety are utterly
slanderous, and without even a color of truth.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

We left Corinth ou the 20th ol April, aud
crossed the Tennessee rtv.-.r on the 2(ith and
27th, arrived at Lawreneeburg on the 3tst,
learned the Federate yvere iu possession ol
Pulaski, nd on May day we had a frolic yvitli
them, in which we took 290 privates, and 24
officers, including Gen. Mitchell’s-sou, killed
18, and lost none. The couuiry has become
alarmed, and trOops were sent to the Tennessee
river to cut us off. We continued on the Dexl
morning and encamped 13 miles from Sbeloy
viile that night. Marched the 3 1 and encamp
ed within six miles of Murfreesboro’ at night.
At dawu ou the 4th our pickets and the Yan
kee pickets had an engagement. We passed
around the place and crossed the Nastivilio anti
Murfreesboro’ pike to Smyrna, where we tore
up the railroad track and cut the telegraph wire,
attached a battery and received a despatch that
was being transmitted to Col. S. Mathews,
commanding at Nashville, relative to our being
in the vicinity, and the cavalry that had been
sent in pursuit of us. Coi. Morgan answered
it iu Col. Mathews’ none ami ordered the cav
alry to Shelby ville, saying that it was about to
be attacked by Geu. Price. We arrived at Le
banuon at night on the 4th, the men aud horses
being greatly laligued, imd considered rival yve
had eluded pursuit lor the present.
At dayvn on tbe stb, our pickets were driven
in, and beiore our men could get to horse, the
enemy was upon us iu overwhelming numbers.
Col. Morgan ami Lieut. Col. Wood, ,'of West
Adam’s regiment,) alter most desperate efforts,
succeeded in getting tlie men collected and tbe
most desperate fighting ensued that is on re
cord, but all of no avail. Our small force of 350
men, though the bravest oi the brave, iverc sur
rounded by legions, estimated and since known
to be 4,000 strong. C<>L Morgan charged through
them with about 100 men, and took the r.iud
leading to Carthage, rvhicb is on the Cumber
land river 20 miles distant. Col. Wood aud
men were driven to the College where they
fought until 12 o’clock, retu-iug to surrender,
al.hough they were Well aware that they were
cut ouirom all passes o. e-cape, and that artil
lery would be brought to bear on them m a
short time, until their ammunition gave out,
and ihffcitizens hid begged them to give up,
lor the Federal* were about to barn the town.
Col. Morgan arrived at this place yyLii4o
men the next day. 1 arrived some lour hours
later with 31. Uur men have been eoiii.ug in
at alt hours since. We have now here some
thing over 100, and are expecting more.
Geti Dumont, Col. Wo.dford, aud a Pennsyl
vania Colonel were taken prisoners early iu the
action in town, and assoou as they made known
their rank, their swords were restored to them
again by our gallant Co'. M.
The fight yvus kept up the whole distance
from Lebanon to Carthage, and a volley ol 50

Proposition from the Northern Govern
MEAT For an EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS. —We
learn that propositions have been received by
the government, through General Wool, at
Fortress Monroe, for a general exchange of
prisoners of war Tne propositions off; r, as a
bas s of exchange, the carte, ad .pt< and between
tbe United Suites and Great Britain in tbe war
ot 1812; ami uLo offer to i X-haDge cur priva
teersmeu on tbe tooting ot prisoners of war, the
surplus remaining on either side to be paroled
without turther coudllidiis. It is proposed to
exchange the prisoners at City Point, or at any
piace that the Confederate States Government
may delegate. ' It is su; posed that there is a
slight surplus oi prisoners still remaining on
the side 01 the North. There is no doubt but
that the proposition meets the views and wishes
of our guverument, and it is to be hoped that
there wiil be no perfidy developed iu tbeai
raugement, as was the case iu tne negotiation
with General Howell Cobb some months ago.
About three hundred of the prisoners cap
tured by Capt. Ashby, and sent to Madison,
Geo: gia, have been released by the Govern
ment—all of them taking the oath of allegiance
to the Confederate Government, and many of
them volunteering. Some of the volunteers nave
been sent to Corinth, o.here to Charleston,

From New Orleans.
A lady from New Orleans makes statements
which confirm other accounts, and the tenor of
Butiei’s orders, to the effect that the con
querors are making 'he unhappy citizens
feel the iron heel ot tiieir power. Every day the
military suiveiiance becomes more rigid, and
the regulations more siiingtiit. Butler, as the
most infamous of Ins orders indicates, is levying
tierce warfare upon the ladies. They grievous
ly offended his Yankee Highness by wearing as
trimming-, of their bonnets, ere., semblances of
the Confederate ling, and Hie Southqi n colors
red mi white. Picayune ordered them to in
dulge no more in such demonstrations of re
bellious sentiment under pain of condign
punishment. How many obeyed and how many
were punished our informant, does uot set forth,
but she docs state mat Mrs. J. B. Walton, the
lovely and accomplished lady of Coi. J. B.
Wilton, of the Washington Artillery, is now in
close confinement because .she refused to re
move the little flag which formed part of the
trimming of her bonnet. It is thus that the
valorous Picayune avenges so much of the rout
at Bail Run a„ was due to the well served guns
of tiie Washington Artillery. Persons were
being arrested and consigned to dungeons at
the wiffm of the Yankee despot.
Our intelligence from the above mentioned
source is to the effi-ct that fifty thousand men
had been landed in the city and were now
quartered within and about it, and garrisoning
the works of the coast, lakes and rivers A
great deal of sickness ; and of every fatal type,
was prevailing among the unaeclimated Yau
kce.i of New England, and seventy dead iuva
(bo's were carried out from oue hospital and
tinned during a single night. Large numbers
o o “ !^‘n k 9 are being converted into hospitals
for the accommodation oi the great number of
sick rascals, who, it th y do notdie from actual
disease, probably do Irom fear, their imagina
tions beign tormented with terrible visions ol
Yellow Jack, li all signs do not fail, they have
every reason to be worse frightened than ever
they were by a bayonet charge of the Coulee',-
crates.
Our informant says it was cpintnon talk
among the Yankee officers that ’! .trie would
soon be attacked, and they said that the city
would be shelled without hesitation if resist
ance was made alter their gunboats were in
range.
The Orleanians are finding out what being a
conquered people means. Let their sad ex
perienee instruct us that any other evil is more
endurable, any suffering preferable to the
scourge of Yankee masters. Columbus Sun.

Heavy Skirmishing in the neighborhood
of Richmond. —The city was thrown iuio much
excitement yesterday by the heavy canuonad
iug on tiie lines iu the neighborhood'of Rich
mond. A considerable engagement took place
yesterday afternoon on a portion ot our lines
some three,miles beyond tiie head of the Me
eliacicsville turnpike, wiiicu runs out from
Eighteenth street and btaneh’ S about tour miles
from the city. The scene of the action was thus
about seven miles from Richmond.
One; regiment was engaged on onr side with
two pieces of artillery. The enemy had three
regiments, two of them having been brought
up from Bethesdi Church. The a tion was
principally by artillery, and later in the evening
the enemy had retired We have found it im—
’possible to get further relitble particulars of
the affair, a,though any number of rumors in
tbe streets could be had for the asking of them.
Wfiat we have stated above we know to be reli
able, the news being brought in last night after
dark by an cUlcer who was oq the Held.
Yesterday morning it appears that the enemy
commenced throwing shells at New Bridge.
About tliiriy shells were throwu. Our artillery
did not respond, and no damage was sustaim.il
on our side. —Richmond Examiner.
