Near Richmond, Va., )
Amy 25, 1862. )
Mr. Editor: On the evening of the <3d my
•jast cioeed with an account of the skirmish he
tween one piece ol the Washington Artillery
awl four pieces of the enemy's. It is ascer
tained that the object was to advance the picket
.guards of the enemy. This, it seems, he was
AiiJowed to accomplish; for thete was no infan
try brought up to support our picket line, and
the end was our pickets were driven in, and the
enemy’s somewhat advanced. Early yesterday
morning he commenced again with ten pieces
"again; t two of ours, to force our lines farther
hack towards Meadow’s Bridge, which crosses
the Chiekahominy, about a mile due nortb of
<gir position. The same piece of the Washing
ton Artillery and one ol the Wise Artillery were
to cope with the ten well managed guns of
the enemy. Why this was permitted without
sending infantry enough there to hold our
ground, is best known to the eomuiaLders.
From the edge of the wood, at which point the
other cannon fight was witnessed, the last could
be distinctly seen, every flash and cloud of
smoke from each discharge as it was belched
forth from either side. Oar guns were served
eooly and regularly; the enemy kept up a con
tinuous and thundering fire, at the same time
steadily advancing a heavy force of cavalry aud
infantry.
Capt. Rosser, havieg command of our bat
tery, and believing that reinforcements would
be sent to him, held his place until it became
perilous to remain longer, and at fast retired.
He himself was wounded seriously In the arm,
his horse badly shot, two of the Wise Artillery
kilted, awd two or three wounded. He suc
ceeded in capturing one ravslij prisoner, but
what other loss the enemy suffered is not yet
ascertained. It is pretty w. 11 established that
lie did not escape unscathed, for the fire from
our guns were directed on the advancing col
umns. Thus our position on the other side of
the river (or creek) has been abandoned, at least
as high up as Meadow’s Bridge. If we pretend
to bold the other side any farther up it will in
all probability be in a like manner giver) up
when the enemy approaches. It seems strange
tbat it should be so easily surrendered to him,
when It is almost certain he is seeking to drive
us as lar as he dare belore beginning the basis
of his series of investments, before which the
capital must finally fall. It will be easy to build
line after line of loriitications when the first is
buill, under the cover of the huge ordnance
which will be most certainly mounted at every
cost and expense. The advance of a few mile*
in ihis wuy—in faet even now the city may be
shelled with the proper ordnance mounted —
and McClellan will demand the surrender.
After Capt. R isser’s command had been forced
to withdraw to this side of the stream, it was
supposed the enemy would follow. The
raiu had sot in early lu the morning, and it was
quite a disagreeable time to be ordered out,
but about 9 o'clock tbe brigade was formed, and
through the damp wheat field over a hill or
two, and we were on our position with a high
elevation between us and tbe point at which it
was supposed the enemy would approach Ou
tlie summit of this green clad hill, two pieces
of the Washing to llery were posted peer
ing maliciously across a smooth plain, and
seemed to indicate “come out if you dare." A
valley on the western verge ot this hill, 200
yards wide, separated us from another on the
top of which two pieces of another battery, tbe
Wise Artillery, had formed. Behind this bill,
the Ist Georgia Regulars ivete posted as a sup
port, aud with this lino the expected attack
was anxiously awaited. The clouds drilling
rapidly southward, continued to pour out a
cold, drizzling rain, which, it was thought,
would induce tbe enemy to suppose some ad
vantage might be attained, while we were bous
ing ourselves from tbe inclement day. How
badly the reckoning against men who had neither
house nor tent since Sell March. Aa hour had
probably elapsed alter taking our position,
when a piece of the Wise Artillery suddenlj
broke the quiet around and sent a shell scream
lug through the air towards the bridge. Tne
sentinel from the lop of tbe hill, bebiud which
we were posted, reported that a large body ol
the eiu-my’s cavalry was making rapidly
towards il, and that some of them had nearly
reached there. Four more shots followed in
qukk succession. Everything became silent
again, and the rain continued to deeeud, but
the enemy made no futfher demonstration. Our
Colonel passed by and told us that tbe cavalry
had Hi and from the bridge. After a while, orders
came to return to our bivouac —wh eh we did
accordingly. Afterwards it was ienrned that
the firing of our pi.e.s 1 \ outer it Gen. Mc-
G'mler, was premature, it ,-e ins that Col.

THP WAR IN AMERICA ANl> BUEFERINGS IN
EOtWPa-THB QUESTION OF INTERVENTION.
The Morning Herald argues from the reports
V, vercier’s visit to Richmond, that the be
of the end is not far distant. It says
France and England sutler more than neutrals
ever suffered from any contest, and both begin
io regard the war ad interminable and atro
cious. . „ ,
The Paris Patrie says that the visit of the
French Minister to Richmond was eutirely po
litical, aud that its purport was known to Presi
dent I incoln. *
A despatch, daied Paris, May 5. says'lhe
letier9 Iroiu the inanulacturiug district are in
general unfavorable. The latest accounts from
Lyons state that there was scarcely any busi
ness transacted in the silk maiket of that town
last week. There has consequently been but
little variation in prices. There were a few
sales by auction, but they produced no fresh
buyers" Business is not better in the South of
France than at Lycns, and prices are much the
same. The hopes entertained for a very short
time that the civil war in Noith America would
be quickly brought to a conclusion caused a
rise of prices, but the effect produced subsided
aud the previous dullness has returned.
THE FEELING IN FRANCE.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Journal of Commerce, writing on May 2d, says:
The rumors of intended intervention grow
hourly more persistent. France is said to have
declared her intention to Great Brdain of not
delaying beyond the month of duly next to
reeogu ze the Independence of the Soutn. This
lact is asserted to he true on very liigu author
ity. No oue doubts that proposals of inter
vention have again been made by the Imperial
Government to the Cabinet of Loudon, and so
far acceded to that instructions on that basis
have been sent to M. Mercier by the Foreign
Minister. Hence the journey ol M. Mereier to
Richmond. The presence of M de Morny in
! England, is also attributed to the same cause.
No doubt the maieria) pressure on trie govern
ment ‘Tow.-, evert hour more revere. The as
pect oi things looks very ominous for the
North, so lar as .Europe is concerned, and
causes much anxiety here to the lrieuds of
America and the Union.
THE FEELING IN ENGL ANIL
The Loudon correspondent of the New Ybrk
Herald writes, on May 2d, as follows :
In assuming so decidedly in the preceding
1 tier tlie hostility of this country to the people
of the North, or, at least to their endeavors to
testoretbe dreaded Union, I had, I recollect,
some slight twinges of misgiving, for fear I
might, from canting protestations oil both sides,
be thought to have exaggerated its exteut or
generality. I, therefore, deiermined, on the
first opportunity, to give fair reason for the
faith that is in me, or, at all events, lor such oi
it as I tnay send jour readers. This task has
been luifilled for me by subsequent events. I
refer you to the speech ol Mr. Gladstone at
Manchester, combined with ceiiain articles
(here auent in the London Times. The man
and the place are bothpre eminently to the pur ’
pose. Manchester you thought to lie the centre
of your English friends. But let us not expect
the people to be more than men or Englishmen.
I heir Hiieresls of party maintained silence in
Manchester until the late appearance of Mr.
Gladstone on that scene. This gentleman him
self, as y ’U know, is of the party, or rather he
is somewhere between it and the wbigs, as by a
like transition he parsed to Whigs from lories.
On the occasion of a visit .to tiis fatherland,
some months ago, he spoke with high approval
of your cause and of your course. But now,
before an audience ol your best Iriends ju Eng
land, he formally abandons tlum both wi;b
loud applause. Remember also iba' he not
only is a radical, but a minister— Min.mii'.-ate,
indeed, at present, but supreme in cxpee.auey,
aud you will perhaps see a deeper import iu his
language. Moreover, I would ask your partic
ular attention to the anieles in the Times ol
last Saturday and again of yesterday. They
have manifestly been inspired from the same
source as the speech. They will show you
what is brewing in the public mind of England,
or rather in its belly, this still less exorible
customer. The Manchester party, who keep
in the present Ministry, have been from the
outset the sole English bar to action. But
they seem now submerged by the swelling
distress, for which public contributions are
solicited in London, to be followed perhaps in
the House by a claim upon the sinking treasury
AocKhen to grant this claim would he to open
starving Ireland, who is reduced, as usual, to
knock at the door. In such a situation you
will easily conceive that, iu order to seize the
first pretext for intervention, there remains but
to obtain the co-operation or consent ol Fiance.
And thus you could yourself explain the late
demonstration.
I may be told that one or two of the London
jou'i ills plead your cause, and must thus imply
a certain English public iB your favor. Bat can
it be that these things impose upon Ameri
cans ? One of the said champions is the Man
chester orpin, and only mark its silence since
Mr Gladstone has spoken ! The other is the
London News, a paper of k.ndred po ities,
and, above all, a commercial rival of the Times.
Whatsoever is espoused by the oligarchical
1 ading journal, is decried by the radical com
petitor wh eh would be leader.
This is itie plain truth about your two sole
organs in the English press. No, if England
were to-morrow polled, by ballot, on the ques
tion, I would stake tny existence that the North
would not have twelve votes.
Do not, therefore, inquire about the South
ern Commissioners, what may be their in
trigues, or the dispositions of England. All
that is decided, cut aud dried. Keep the care
of your government and people to uvo things
—that they maintain their present advantages
and energy ; or in case ot reverse, keep on good
terms with France. Either of these positions
and these alone, can save them from what they
would have months ago to meet but for Napo
leon.
[From the Memphis Appea'.!
The feiicmv on thp Klvcr,
We havee been put milled to pei use some let
ters from a lady, a resident of the upper river,
which give a graphic account of the conduct of
the Federal troops by which sire was surround

oue thousand, who have placed additional works
of defense on the island and in the vicinity. In
their intercourse with the citizens their conduct
has been such as to excite the most utter con
tempt, ar.d certainly has uot contributed to at
tach any of the residents to the Lincoln cause.
Nit oniv is private property seized without re
muneration in a single instance, but ladies and
families are insulted, and their privacy intruded
upon, at the pleasure of the invaders. The con
sequence is the triends of the Confederacy have
been strengthened in their purposeand are pray
ing more earnestly than ever for a day of deliv
erence.
A large number of negroes hare been taken
from the various plantations—in many instan
ces they having been forced to leave their
homes.
The quest ion of politics is frequently discuss

the! i,ineo!n Congress, while, of course, the Re
publicans tirur nun. The former greatly ex
ceed the latter in numbers, both among the
olilcers am! men ; and they frequently declare
that they w ilt have nothing to do in waging a
war for abolitionism.
In order to prevent the public observance of
lilt- fast dry appointed by Piesident Davis, the
two churches in the neighborhood where the
writer resides were occupied early in the day
by a detachment of Federal troops. Of course
uo aUi mpt was made to open the service usual
on such occasion*, by tin- congregations, and
the Yankees employed the day, and desecrated
the house*, in the most ruffianly manner. The

Bu ler and llie New Orleans Currency.
The following is among the recent edicts of
the dictator who now lords it over the once
free people of New Orleans :
Headquarters Deimr’t of the Gulf, )
New Orleans, May 19, 1802 f
General Orders No. 80.
It Is represented to the Commanding General
tbatgrent distress, privation, suffering, hunger,
and even starvation, lms bt en brought upon the
people of New Orleans and its vicinage,’by the
course taken by the banks and dealers iu cur
rency.
lie has been urged to take measures to pro
vide, as far as may be, lor the relief of the cit
izens, so that tlie loes may fail, at least in
part, on those who have caused and ought to
bear it.
The General sees with regret that the banks
and bankers causelessly suspended specie pay
ment in Septa tuber last, in contravention to the
laws of the Stale and oi the United States.—
Hiving done so, they introduce Confederate
notes as currency, which they bought at a dis
count, in place of their own bills, receiving
theiri on deposit, paying them out for their dis
counts, and collecting their customers’ notes
and drafts in them as money, sometimes even
against their will; thus giving these notes
credit and a wide and general circulation, so
that they were substituted in the hands of the
middling men, the poor and unwary, as cur
rency, in place of that provided by the const!
tution and laws of the eouutry, or of any valu
able equivalent.
The Banks and Bankers endeavor to take ad
vantage ot the ve establishment of the authority
of the United States here, to throw the depre
ciation and loss from this worthless stuff of
their own creation and fostering upon their
creditors, depositors and hill holders.
They refuse to receive these bills while they
pay them over their counters.
They require t'neir depositors to take them.
They change the obligations of contracts by
stamping their bills, “ redeemable in Confed
erate Notes.”
They have invested the savings of labor and
the pittance of the widow in this paper.
They sent away or hid their speci**, so that
the people could have notbinir hui. these notes,
which they now depreciate, with which to buy
bread.
All other properly here has become ueariy
valueless from the calamities of this iniquitous
and unjust war begun by rebellious guns, turned
on the flag of our prosperous and happy coun
try, floating over Fort Sumter. Saved from the
general ruin by this system ot financiering,
their stocks alone are now selling at great pre
miuras in the market, while the stockholders
are receiving large dividends.
To equalize, as far as may be, this general
loss, to have it fall at least in part where it
ought to be, to enable the people of this city
and vicinage to have a currency which shall, at
least, be a semblance to that which the wisdom
of the Constitution provides for all citizens of
the United Slates, it is, therefore,
ORDERED:
I.—That the several incorporated Banks pay
out no more Confederate Notes to their deposi
tors or creditors, but that all depositors be paid
in the bills ol the Bank, Utiited States Treasury
Notes, Gold or Silver
II —That all private B inkers, receiving de
posits, pay out to their depositors only the cur
rent bills of Citv Banks, United Stales Treasury
Notes, Gold, or Silver.
111. That the Savings’ B inks pay to their de
positors orcreditors, ouly gold, silver, or Uui ed
States Treasury Notes, currc t bills of City
Banks, of their own bills, to an amount not
exceeding one-third of their deposit , and of
denomination not less than one dollar, which
they are authorized to issue, and for the. redemp
tion of which their assets shall be held liable.
IV. —The incorporated Banks are authorized
to issue bills of a less denomination than five
dollars, but not less than one dollar, anything
in their charters to the contrary notwithstand
ing, and are authoriz:d to receive omb derate
Notes for any ot their hills rill the 27th day of
May last.
V. That ail persons and firms having issued
small notes, or hinpla-iets” so called, are re
quired to redeem them on presentation at their
places of bn-iness, between the hours of 9 A
M. and 3 l*. M. either in gMd, silver, United
States Treasury Notes, or current bills ol City
Banks, under penalty ol confiscation of their
property and sale theieoi for the purpose of re
demption of the notes so issued, and imprison
ment for a term of hard labor.
VI. —Private Bankers may issue notes of de
nominations not less than one nor more than
ten dollars, to two-thirds of the amount of
specie which they show to a commissioner ap
pointed from ttiese headquarters, in their vaults
and actually kept there, tor the purpose of re

A Proclamation by the President of the United

Whereas, there appears in the public prints
what purports to be a proclamation of Major
General Hunter, in the words aud figures fol
lowing, to wit:
Headquarters, j
Department of the South, y
Ililton Head, 8. C., May 9, iBO2. )
. General Orders No. 11.
The three States of Georgia, Florida and
South •Carolina, comprising the Military De
partment ot the South, having deliberately de
clared themselves no longer under ihe protec
tion of the United States ol America, and hav
ing taken up armsagainst the said United States,
it becomes a military necessity to declare them
under martial law. This was accordingly done
on the 25th day of April, 1862. Slavery and
mar'tal law in a free country are altogether in
compatible. The persons in these three Stales—
Georgh. Florida aud South Carolina—hereto
fore held as slaves, are therefore declared for
ever free. [Oilieial J
David Hunter,
Major General Commanding.
Ed. W. Smith, A. A. A. G.
And whereas the same is producing sonic ex
citeuient amd misunderstanding.
Therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Fi-eside.it ot
the United Stales, proclaim and declare, that
the government of the United Stales had no
knowledge or belief of an intention on the
part of Gen. llu iter to issue such a proclama
tion, nor has it yet any authentic information
that tbe document is genuine; and further,
that neitber Gen lluuter, uor any other com
mander or person, has been authorized by tbe
government of the United States to make pro
clamation declaring the slaves of any State tree,
and that the supposed proclamation now iu
question, whether genuine or false, is alto
gether void, so far as respects such declaration.
I further make known that whether it be
competent for me as Commander-in-Chief ol
the army and nivy, to declare the slaves of any
State or States free, aud whether at any time,
or in auy ca<e, it shall become a necessity in
dispensable to ihe maintenance of the govern
ment to exercise such supposed power, are
questions which, under my responsibility, I ie
serve to myself, and which I cannot feel jasii
tied in leaving to the dtcision ot commanders
in the field. These are totally different qil'-s
tions from those of police regulations iu armies
and camps.
Ou the 6th day of March last, by a special
message, I recommended to Congress theadop
tion of n joint resolution, lo be substantially as
follows:
Jt y* lie<l, Thai the Uuited Slates ought toco
operate with any State which may adopt a
gradual abolishment of slavery, giving to such
State pecuniary aid, to be used by such State in
Its discretion to compensate for the inconven
iences, publice and private, produced by such
change of system !
The resolution in the language above quoted,
was adopted by large majorities in both
branches of Congress, aud dow stands an au
thentic, and. finite and solemn proposal of the
nation to the States and people most immedi
ately interested in tiiesutjeel matter. To the
people or these States 1 nw earnestly appeal.
Ido not argue; I beseech you to mike the
arguments for yourselves. You cannot, it you
would, be blind to the signs of the times. I
beg of you a ca in and enlarged consideration
of them, ranging, it may he, tar above personal
and partisan policy. This proposal makes com
moti cause for a common object, casting no re
proachi s upon any. It acts not the Phaiisee.
The change it contemplates would come gently
as the ctws of Heaven, uot rending or wreck
ing anything. Will you not unbrace it? So
much good has not been done by one tffort iu
all pasi time, as, in the Providence of God, it is
now your high privilege to do. Hay the vast
future have not to lament that you have neg
lected it.
In wituess whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the Tutted Stales
to be affixed
Done in the City of Washington this 19. h

Movements of the Enemy.
The intelligence from the Coast received
Thursday morning is more full of interest, and
begins to wear a lively aspect. The enemy, in
force ot catalry, infantry and artillery, suppoa. and
to be between two and three thousand, laudel
near Page’s Point, and advanced on Poeotaliga.
They succeeded iu getting within two miles of
that station, ou the Charlesiou and Savannah
Railroad, distant about eight miles from the
Linding. Our cavalry forces, under the com
mand ol Col. William 8. Walker, met the ene
my, and hotly disputed their progress.
The disparity of the forces, however, com
pelled our troops to fall hack and await rein
forcements. In the meantime the enemy pro
eeeded to “Old Woods,” near Pocotaligo,
visited the plantation of Mr. Daniel Heyward,
and it is reported dined under the oaks there.
Mr. Heyward was on his way to his house, not
knowing that the enemy had taken possession,
when a volley ot balls were poured upon him,
he being at the lime totally unarmed.
On the reception of the news of the enemy’s
advance, Gen. Pemberton made rapid prepara
tions and extended his orders for sending and
getting forward reinforcements, and leil him
self for the scene of action immediately.
Their design was, no doubt, the pulling up
and destruction of a portion of the Railroad.
Being foiled and held in cheek by our cavalry
until the arrival of reinforcements', they com
menced their retrograde motion, aod at six
o’clock were said to he in full retreat towards
their gunboats.
Subsequent intelligence contradicted tlie re
port of the retreat of the enemy, and a fight on
Thursday night or Friday morning seeiped
probable. The nature of Ihe country and the
spirit of our troops led us to hope for. our side
llie most favorable result.
The forces engaged with the enemy in the
morning consisted of tlie Rutledge Mounted
Riflemen, Optain Trenholm ; Hayward Caval
ry, Captain B ake ; four Companies ol Felder’s
squadron of Cavalry and the Charleston Light
Dragoons, Capt. Rutledge. Col. Walker, com
uianding the Fourth and Fifth Military Districts
arrived on Uie ground belore the engagement.
The reinforcements consisted of nine companies
of infantrv, a section of the Beaufort Artillery,
Capt. Elliot, and three companies of M-jor it.
,J. J, fiords’ squadron of Cavalry.
Major General Pemberton, with the Fifty first
Georgia Regiment, was also reported on tlie
way, and expected to take command. .
Turn ol the Rutledge Mounted Riflemen are
r. ported killed, but we hope this will prove to
be unfounded. Col. Walker’s horse was shot
from under him.
The news of an engagement in progress at
Secessionville and Pemberton’s Battery,
brought by a courier Thursday at ernoon, also
created considerable excitement, which easily
subsided on the laets being made known. Tne
enemy threw a lew shell at long range into the
camp of Col. C. H Stevens, without doing any
damage further th >n the wouuding of a cavalry
horse.
The engagement at Newtown's Cut, opposite
Dill’s farm, was a more serious affair. The bat
tery at Ibis point was manned by Company F,
I.it'ul. T. I) White, ofCutoi et E B. White’s
Palmetto Bittalioli of Light Artillery. Tile
enemy with three gunboats c ime up abreast the
battery, and opened fire about two o’clock at a
di.-litiiee of nine hundred yards.
The engagement lusted about Hire s hours.
No one was hurt on our side, nor the battery
injured. One of ihe enemy’s gunboats were
disabled, the mast- having been struck by a
round shot from the battery. The crew on
board were observed afterwards repairing the
itjury. This buttery is situated about two
inilestrom Fort Pemberton. Captain Smith, ol
Company F, was also on the ground doing ex
eellent service. Alter the enemy had ceased
firing, our troops fired some five more rounds,
when they were ordered to discontinue Our
troops behaved admirably, and Wvre delighted
at the opportunity to pay their regards to the
Insolent foe.
The fire from the gunboats was very accurate,
both solid siiot and shell being thrown at the
battery. The enemy no doubt designed this
attacK for the purpose of preventing us from
placing further obstructions in Sumo river.—
The gunboats, three in number, stiil lay nearly
abreast ol the batteiy at Kewtowu Cut — Char.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in our Posses
sion—lntensely Affecting Scenes at Winchester.
The Lynchburg I’ejmblican, of Wednesday,
says :
It is reported that a government bearer of
despatches reached Staunton early yesterday
morning with intelligence that Jackson’s cav
alry lad entered the town of Martiusburg, in
Berkeley county, and taken undisturbed pos
session of the place. If this report be true,
and we obtained it from such a source as to
entitle it to be, believed, the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad is again in onr possession, and
has no doubt been effectually destroyed for
such a distance as to make it of no u 4 e to the
enemy for some time to come, even if our troops
should be compelled to retreat.
Jackson’s men were mostly in tbe rear of the
enemy, who were completely routed and dis
persed, fleeing on the roads that held out the
least chance of escape. But our troops were
catching them hourly, and the occu. atign of
Martinsburg would no doubt lead to the cap
ture of nearly the whole army, the larger por
tion of it having lied by that route.
Winchester was B inks’ d'pot of supplies,
and the amount of commissary ana. ouinauce
stores captured by Jackson is reported to be
immense.
Twenty-three hundred prisoners are reported
to have left Front Royal on Monday, and are
expected to arrive at Staunton to-morrow or
Friday. Other detachments would be sent to
ibe same place as they were usseutbled.
The Yaukee force i t the valley at the time of
the attack, it is believed, only number about
twelve thousand, and they were distributed at
Front Royal, Sirasburg aud Win
chester.
When our tnen entered Winchester, the scene
is described as affecting beyond measure. The
streets were crowded with all sexes, ages and
classes, who enthusiastically welcomed their
deliverers. Old men, with tears of joy stream
ing down their withered cheeks, and eyes up
lifted to heaven, called down blessings on the
heads of (tie bronz and veterans to whom they
owed their freedom.
Beautiful women had crowded around them,
and vied with each other in acts oi kindness to
the we tied soldiers, and amid the cheers and
prayers of all, our brave tnen pressed on after
ike Hying foe.
Wtiat lien Jack-on’s future intentions sre is
not kcown, but that he will follow up closely
the good work lie his commenced no one
doubts. ll.s army is said to be iu good Aht
ing trim, continent in themselves aud their
leader, and in numbers sufficient to make Lin
coln tremble in his capital.

The ttepoit nf Mr. Geofiioy First Sir etary oj the
Fremh Ingot-inn, ot token to J'aris — 1 Vies of M
Mercier.
The following arc < xtraets I'r.-tn a letter, dated,
Washington, May 23, published in the New
Y ork T m s :
Previous to Its departure for Europe, on the
30ik 1i1t... Mr. lieetfroy, First Seeretaiyof Lega
lion, (French) commun cated to some o his
friends in Washington the result of his observa
lions in Richmond, where he had been in com
pany ol Count Mercier. Mr. Geoflfoy was ot
opinion that the rebels may be conquered, may
suffer defeat upon defeat, hut that they will never
submit nor be subdued. He Was pailienlarly
struck wuh the uuauiinity o feeling there res
peeling the conduct of the war H - could not
fiud a single mm who was not for fighting to
the last rather than surrender. The whole
population sulfeis the greatest privations with
out complaint Every necessary of i.fe is
h avily taxed—bread, m- at, salt, vegetable*—
still the people struck him as unaware of this
slate of things, and seem to conform cheerfully
to their new position *
The rep< alcd representations made to Louis
Napoleon by Mr. Dayton, that the inland trade
would be opeu as soon as the harbors would be
in possession of the national government, had
induced the French Emperor to verity the truth
ot his statements, wnit-h the private reports of
the French Consuls in the Southern ports flatly
coutradicled. In consequence, be sent Mr
Mercier to ascertain which, of the Ami rican or
French representative’s report, wa? the correct
one.
Mr. Mercier had several conversations with
the representatives c t the Confederate Slates
in Riehm >nd, particularly with Mr. B-i jtniin,
whom lie hutw before, aud there acquired the
certainty, which he, however, had since llie
beginning of the war, of the unwiiiinguess of
the Southern people to compromise, or to go
hack to the o.d Uniou. ll.s observations, at
though different iu iorni tram those ot Mr.
Geoff oy, are substantially the same.
In a recent report to the Emperor, Mr. Me
jeau, the French Consul at New O lea- s, says
ih.it a!i bough no trace of Union fed t g is visi
ble iu New Orleans, he doubts uot tii.it it the
Coafcdera e government does not act with vig
or and energy, the eons quence ot its inaction
or slowness wnl be to tire and di-gust a pcriiuu
of the population, which would, in such case,
willingly return to the Union. Among all the
reports emanating from the French Cun-ulttes
in America, this is the only one which express
es a hope of a partial return of Union senti
ment! Ail others positively deny the existence
ol such sentiment in their respective localities.
The cau-e ol the a xiety, which certainly
did exist some days ago in .official circles, had
no real ground, aud is rather prospective than
positive, it rested upon me uncernumy o! ihe
Kaip rot’s resolution, after Le w>il have heard
ol .Mr Merciers report, and a ter his contcr
?a i'ou with Mr. tievffroy, who haS already reach

Tlie Traitarn’ Convention ul Naslttitle.
The following resolutions were reported by
the committee on business and adopted by
Andy Johnson’s Tory Convention, which met
at Nashville ou the 12th ultimo:
RESOLUTIONS.
Whereas, K is manilest to the most unreflect
ing that, whilst the Slate ot Tennessee was au
integral part of the government ot the United
Stales, its citizens were in the enjoyment of
the full protection of life, liberty and property,
under the institutions of the United States,
and the laws passed in accordance therewith,
and all of their material and political interests
were watchfully aud careiuily guarded by laws
introduced by Southern men —representatives
of our selection —identified thoroughly with all
the interests, of our people: which Jaws were
decided to be constitutional by tbe Supreme
Court of the United States —the constitutional
tiibunal to decide suen questions :
And whereas, because of ihe election in a
constitutional and regular form ot a President
of itie United States—who received no support
in tlie State of Tennessee —and the t fl irt ot that
President to maintain the integrity of the Union,
and enforce the laws against armed resistance
—our neople, iu common with the people oi
other States, are precipitated into a revolution,
resorting to the arbitrament of arms for the
settlement *of our political differences, instead
of tne peaceable remedies provided by the con
stitution :
And whereas, it is evident that the authority
oi Hie Federal government is now exerted over
this part of Tennessee, aiul will be in a sh rt
time fully extended over the euiire State—aud
it is the duty of every citizen so to aet as to
tree ourselves from the consequences of ituer
neeine war, and to return to the government
which is willing and able to protect us :
Therefore, be it resolved by a portion ol tbe
people of Tennessee, in convention assembled —
1. That the social, political, aud material in
terests of the people of i'ciiuessce, and the
safely and welfare ot our ft lends and lelativts
now in the Confederate army, imperiously de
mand the return of the Stale to he. former re
lations with the Federal Union.
That all good citizens who concur with usin
this opinion are earnestly invited to ce-operate
in lUe accomplishment of tills object so vital to
our future peace and happiness.
3 That the chairman ot this meeting appoint
a committee ol three to take .into consideration
the condition of the prisoners of war from Ten
uessee, now held iu custody oy the government,
and endeavor to otjiaiti their release ami their
return to their allegiance, upon terms alike
compatible with the interest oi me government
aud ihe houor oi the soldier.
4. That the forbearance, moderation, and
gentlemanly deportment of the odicers aud
soldiers ot the Federal army, since the occupa
tion ot Tennessee, challenge our highest ad
miration.
5. That this meeting most cordially approves
ot tr.e address made to the people ot i’chiies
see, by his Excellency Gov. Andrew Johnson,
dated March IS, ISO 2, and the policy of Ins ad
miuislraliou since that time.
6 That a committee ol five appointed by the
chairman, who shall prepare an address in the
peupleot Tennessee, txpressive of the ot jacis
ol the meeting.

The Affair at Poeotallgo.
We are indebted to Messrs. Jno. Fraser*
Cos., (ora copy ol the following despatch, re
ceived by them Friday :
‘ Pocotai.ioo", May 30, 1803.
The fight is all over. P. C. Goddard is killed,
G C. Hughes, wounded and taken prisoner, J
C Lawton seriously wounded, and R ibert
Stewart, Jr., slightly. The above all members
of the Ruiledge Mounted Riflemen.
(Signed.) -V. L. Thenholm,
Captain Rutledge. Mounted Riflemen."
A private letter says : “The enemy encamped
at Garden’s Corner on Thursday n g it. They
were driven back in the direction of Port Royal
on Friday morning, with what loss is uoi
known.
"J. C. Lawton was wounded in the side while
carrying a despatch from Colonel Walker to
General Pemberton.”
Mr. Lawton mentioned above is a son of Mr.
Wm. Lawtou of qur city. Several of the enemy
are reported killed and wounded.
The enemy’s gunboats were again engaged
yesterday for about two hours, shelling around
the neighborhood of Stono river. It is report
ed that there was also considerable musketry
tiring on James’lsland, but we have learned
nothing authentic. Tne work of placing ob
structions in Stono river, it is thought, will he
fiuished in a day or two, notwithstanding the
attempts of the enemy to interfere with its
progress.
Later intelligence states that the enemy made
an attack on Fort Pemberton, and continued
firing lor nearly three, hours. One horse was
killed aud a small building iu the vicinity burnt.
No person was hurt. The boats were struck
several times. — Charleston Courier Saturday.
The Mercury of the same date, says :
Dr. Goddard was a practising physician in
Monroe, Walton County, Ga. He was born, we
believe, in the Parish ol St. John's Berkley,
and, wneu the War broke out hastened -o enter
the ranks oi the defenders of his native State.
He has just been appointed Assistant Surgeon
of the Eutaw Regiment, but, at. the time ot his
death, he had not yet been apprised of the fact
lie leaves a widow, tao daughter of the late
James While, of ttiis city.
A Crevasse at New Orleans.
The Mobile Advertiser ot the 26. h inst. says :
We have been favored by a gentleman from
New Orleans with a copy ot the. Bulletin of
Monday, of the contents of which the most.in
teresting portion pertains to the crevasse above
the city. *
The levee gave way just opposite Napoleon
Avenue, and on Saturday evening the branch
was about a bundled teet wide, hut by Sunday
afteruoou had been reduced to about forty feet,
with a depth ol "probably twenty teet in the
centre. A number of soldiers were at work
Saturday, after which the Street Commissioner
took charge ot the work It was expected that
the flood ol water would be stopped oy Monday
evening, or Tuesday morning at farthest
The main current, says the Bulletin, takes a
direction up towards Napoleon Avenue, down
which it passes with considerable velocity for a
short distance, when it spreads out on both sides
■ aud iiuds its way to the swamp by a lets rapid
motion. It exit nils as low down as the Louisiana
Avenue Station on the track of ttie Carrollton
Railroad, but nearer to Die river it has not yet
oveiflowed the country lower down thau Gen.
Taylor street. The water nu ihe railroad track
appears to be twelve or fourteen inches deep.
The water crosses the track on the upper side
at the Burthe Station, making the width of the
inundation at that distance front the river about
a mile, fro in which place it gradually widens
until it finds its way into tiie stvamp. Later in
the day w - learned the water was making Us
appearance back of Greenville.
Colquitt’s Regiment —We have referred to
thejvery favorable impression made by the forty
sixth Georgia Regiment, Col I*. H. Colquitt.—
It gives us pleasure to add that this impression
lias only been continued and deepened by longer
and belter acquaintance.
This regiment is in camp on the Bit'ery Green
or White, Point Garden, a place which would
give opportunity ot much imsehiet and annoy
ance to any disorderly or badly commanded
regiment. Bueh, however, is the character of
the men composing this regiment, and the
laitlilul discipline eniorced by its officers, that
no word or complaint has been uttered against
them O.i the contrary, ma y citizens re.-idi- g
near the camp, and olh rs who have frequently
visited that pari of the city, have offered us
their grateful and admiring t.tbuie of its iinony
to the good order and deportment of this model
regiment.
Ladies and children may visit the Battery
an 1 Bathing House with ptriceiuud entire con
fidence.
We make this statement not only in justice
to the noble regiment whose condut iu eatup
is a pattern tor ail, but lor the assurance of
many families who desire to visit the Sill Water
Bathing House, arid have beeu deterred by the
proximity ot a camp.
We •an g've confident assurance that no la

Capt. Wilson, who, with the assistance of his
cook aud steward, recovered his ship, the Emily
St. Pierre, from a Federal prize cr< w, .was [ire
sen ted with a service of plate and a gold chro
nometer, which had been suifrtiioid tor by a
number of Liverpool merchants and others,
who desired to mark tbei r sense of the courage
and tact which the daring seamen had evinced
in overcoming two officers aud thirteen men
belonging to the Northern cruiser, the James
Adger. . He was also presented with a sextant
on behalf of his own crew, who have been sent
home from America ; while the steward and
cook each received a purse of 20 guineas. The
Mercantile Marine Association has decided t >
have a gold medal struck for the captain and
a silver medal for each of the two men. The

Gen. R. Toombs. Much has been said of the
amount of land planted ibis year in cotton by
Gen. Robert Toombs. If reports he correct,
(and they seem to be ’will substantiated,) he
has planted enough to produce iwo-thirfls of
tiis ordinary crops of cotton. Gentlemen who
are informed, slate that Gen. Toombs wrote To
his over-eer, instructing him to plant more
cotton, and ho did so. One of his neighbors, a
wealthy planter, learning the course pursued
by the General, plowed up 140 acres previously
planted in corn and put it iu cotton.
' Ordinarily, tbe amount of cotton or corn plant
ed concerns no one but the planter Himself;
out under the circumstances oy which we art
surrouudud, the enemy invading -our soil and
in possession of Tennessee, Kentucky, North
Alabama, and other gruiu producing regions ot
the Confederacy, the persistence in raising eot
tou to the neglect ol grain and other provisions
to tempt the cupidity of the eu my and invite
further invasion, argues to say the least, much
selfishness and criminal indifference to the
want- of the gallant men lighting for the pro
lection ot propeity, home and family. The
people have been accustomed to look up Gen.
Toombs for counsel, and lie is indebted to this
and his prominence and acknowledged great
ability for lire uniiersal surpri-e which his
course as a planter has excited. Hid planters
geueially lollowed it, the prospects ot the
country would he deplorable indeed ; but
fortunately the great mass of the planters, unin
licenced by denunciations and threats ol legis
lative taxation, and prompted alone by patrito
ism, have nobly come to the rescue, in this,
ihe time of the country's need, and hive thus
contributed essentially to the suecessiul prose
cution of the war isen. Toombs is master of
his own private affairs, but the people have a
reasonable right, to expect that the example of
public men should accord with their avowed
principles. Columbus .Sun.
