Brown nas been appointed Provost Marshal of Charleston, in place ot Col. Hagood, who has returned to his regi ment, which took part in the fight of Tuesday, on James’ Island. The Southern Hccorder says : Gov.

Eclipse. —There was a total eclipse of the moon Wednesday night. ItJSegan at 11 b. 23m., became total at 29 minutes after midnight, and ceased at 4a, 30m. Such ot our readers as keep editorial hours had an opportunity of witness ing a most striking spectacle. The British Steamship Ronaldo, seventeen gnus, Captain Hewitt, V. C., Irom Hampton Roads, called off Charleston Tuei-day, to delivei despatches for the British and French Consu lates. After receiving a visit from Mr. Bunch, the Rinaldo sailed for the Gulf. France. —The reported recognition of tht Confederate States by France is doubtless a mistake. The City of Washington, which ar rived at Now York with European advices to the U2d ultimo—about the date of the arrival of the Trent at Havana—make no mention ot such an ev* rt Butler’s Ujsao.—We see it staled that some true-hearted Mississippian has offered a reward of 810,000 for the head of the iufamom Butler. Bush on the column. Georgia will add 150,000 to tbe reward. The vile mootter’r escape from the Confederate States would dis grace a people. “Fuss and t eatur ,s’ ” Last.— A Yankee paper 6tates that in conversation with a dis tinguished clergyman from Albany, who was at Gen. Bcott’s residence last week, the General said ; “I think Davis will not be caught. lie will probably escape through Texas into Mi xi co. To the more prominent traitors that may be taken. I would mete out a system of judi cious but liberal hanging.” A Military Adventurer —Toe Richmond Rspotch says: In the early part of this war, Gcu. McClellun wrote to a distinguished ofllcei in ihe Son h. expressing his de.-ire to serve in the Confederate army. If he dare deny the fact and his recent reports prove that in meudacity he iv the representative man of the Yankee nat on, it can be demonstrated by such evidence as will close his Ups tn eternal silence. o*M s brigade —WVieurn.say s tin Charleston Merely, that Gen.

Exclusive Yankee Commerce.—The New Orleans correspondent of tbo Havana Diariode la Marina. 24th ult., says : ‘‘General Butler bar just instructed Commodore Farragut not to allow any vessels, to come up to the city, ex cept American.” John Bull and tho Emperor will probably look after this matter as they did at Norfolk By the way, we perceive that there have been almost daily arrivals of British and French meu-01-tvar for <iw> Dmo rit East ThNNi£.-otis—ine uews uoin Kentucky condi ms our suspicions with regard to the mo lives o Mitchell in his recent appearauce be fore Chattanooga, via : not really to make at attack in that quarter, but, by a demonstration to iuduce Kirby Bmith to come South and leave open Cumberland Gap, for the descent of an other Federal column on East Tennessee.

Of these only about 150 were k lied, the wounded b-aring at. unusually large prop rtion to the killed. It the un amirne, the Yankees acknowledge a lost ot SOU killed and upwards of 4,000 wounded Tills, wo have no doubt, is about hal ol what they actually lost. They say nothing ol the 800 ptisouers we look from them, hut they speak ot 1 SU) which they took Irotn tis This, ot course, is a lie out ol the whole cloth. We doubt whether they took 100 in all.

The news Irom all directions which wc pul> lish this morning, except the favorable item from Tennessee, is adverse to our arms. The events at Memphis, we presmne, will surprise no one. The evacuation of Corinth, and the fall of Fort Pillow had already prepar ed the public mind for any reverse that might befall us iu that quarter. We are glad to know that the gallant Commodore in command of our little fleet disputed every inch of the Missis sippi and yielded to the overwhelming force of the enemy only when his little fleet had been utterly demolished or sunk. That is the right way to fight the invaders of our homes, and we hope to see it adopted in every portion of the land where the enemy may show his head. The capture ot Memphis by the Yankee gun boats relieves Halleck of a necessity that might have cost him bis army. The city has fallen without marching a man from Corinth, and the entire Mississippi—except one point, Vicks burg, which will likely fall in its time—being now in the bands of the enemy, it will require but few men to hold it, independently of their gunboats. From Beauregard’s army, we think the country has nothing to hope. Halleck will hardly attack it, should it be fortified, lor it is not In a position to h§rrass bjrn pattiqLlarly so long as it maintains its present states on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad. The great Missis sippi being open to Yankee commerce, Yankee aspirations are satisfied without risking a doubt lul engagement simply for the purpose ol dis persing an army that shows no signs of an ad vance in any direction. Our correspondent intimates, in his last let ter, that a campaign northward from that point may not be wholly impossible. Wo hope it is even probable, but we see nothing to justify any' expectation that it will actually occur. There is one contingency in wh'oh Beauregard may be placed in a position to do great harm to the enemy, provided he is not starved out and compelled tj evacuate his camp at Bildwin. Halleck is losing his soldiers by hundreds daily, and the inconvenience o! his preseut location may make it necesssry for him to withdraw northward, in the direction of Kentucky. This done, Tennessee will again fail into onr hands, provided we have at that day a sufficient army to take it. The reverse to our arms in the vicinity of Charleston, though irregularly communicated, is believed to be true, so far as the account goes, no particulars being given. There must hive been a sudden descent of Federal troops on the island, and formidable woiks for their protection, for our troops to have suffered so severely. We have no details, and, therefore, cannot offer an opinion with regard to the afinir. The Forty seventh Georgia Regiment, Col Wil liams, whieh went over some days ago, appears to have led the assault and suffered severely. We shall await, with painful anxiety, advices of the killed and wounded, whieh will prob ably be received to day. We annex a list of the officers of the Regiment, and the companies wh'ch compose it: FIELD OFFICERS. Gilbert W. W. Williams, Colonel. A. 0. Edwards, Lieutenant Colonel. J G. Cone, Major—(absent, sick ) COMPANIES. Company A, M. J. Doyle, Captain Company **, I*. Gorraley. Company C W. W. " illiams. Company D, Jno. I). Ashton. Company.E, Win. 8. P. Philips. Company E, J. 11. Latimer. Compafiy G, P. G. Gippins. Company H, J. M. Atkin. Company 1, F. P. Hines. The last mentioned company is stationed, on picket duty, at the Charleston Railroad bridge Of the capture of five hundred Federate in Tennessee, otjr account is very meagre, Indeed hut n general report, which may or may not be tnie; we fervently hope the former, for the rc csjuvAmlri ninviiimaa ul Miic I*ll against Chat tanooga, though fruitless to biijn, deserves to be punished. Indeed, if onr troops in East Ten nessee are wide awake, it appears to us the whole party might be intercepted and cut off. 'Kirby Smith, tboaeb, knows what he is abont, ind we have perfect confidence that he will nse 'he means at Lis command to the very best ad vantage. P. B.—Since the foregoing was put in type, we have received the Charleston papers con taining a full account of the engagement on James’ Island. The Courier's statement will be found in our columns. Three cheers for the gallant Forty-seventh! Trailing with the Fncniy Prohlbted. The Confederate Congress has passed an act prohibiting, nnder heavy penalties, all trade with towns in posses ion of the enemy. .It is important, fays the Augusta P’onstitntionalUt, that this law be strictly enforced at whatever cost, wherever possible. Otherwise wo are sub joe ted to a greater danger than that of the can non and bajouet. True, tbe enforcement of tho iaw will ulll ct many innocent sufferers. It will, perl a;>-, heir much harder on friends than foes, in many eases. But such are among the uuliapi y incidents of war. A great public policy is sought to be accomplished by total non-intercourse with tho enemy—whether at -ea-ports, along the Mississippi, or across the border. If the rule is relaxed, and our people get into the way of trading with tbe enemy, they will be more than half prepared for the yoke which tiny have sought to avoid at snch mmen-e cost of blood. The battles ot this war will then have been fought iu vain. There is nothing, we would add, towards which the loyal people of the Confederate States should exercise a more sleepless vigil tuce. A trader iu Yankee wares, obtained from the enemy, should he watched as closely as the enemy himself. There is nothing that will prove, when tolerated, so enervating and de mising upon the public mind ot a people strug gling lor their heedom. Nor is the caution without a reason. We have an army of sanl* trailers who swarm about our borders, trade off Confederate money f r gold, giving two dollars fir one, and are ever slippii g across the line tld back again with Yankee fabrics and no tions which they sell at live hundred per centum ns a special favor and accommoda tion to the public, and ail the while cheating the public treasuy ont of its lawful does These smugglers should be ferrete! out, caught, >nd loti gto the nearest tree. They are sap ping the very principle of liberty from the hearts of our people, and though they may supply a temper try convenience, it is no com nensation for the lasting it jury done to the cause. Naval Fiort at Memphis—Military .rt.s. Our Army Correspondent telegraphs us from Mobile, that a terrific naval engagement oc curred at Memphis last week, and ihtt he sent us fuff particttUus ot the fcfftir. This is the first intimation we have had el U. We suppose the despatch was proscribed eu nute. Under military rule, which, in a majority of cases, dis card# common sense, every species cf informa tion is contraband. Some days ago onr cor respondent aLCharlcston tried hard to furnish us au account of the affair on St. John's Island by telegraph, but all his communications were r-Jscted. The Charleston CWrter of the next morning contained every particular songht to be sent us. We know there are many things connected i with our military movements that should not j be made public, at least for the lime bting, : and, baring the same interest In success with | ourmilna y commanders, we have always ex ' ercised our best discretion iu accepting and matter for these columns; but ! when military government takes leave of com mon sense, and proscribes everything simply because it does not wish to take the trouble to discriminate between what is right and what wrong, that government becomes oppressive aud unjust, and it is the daty of the Press to warn the people against encroachments on Ibrir ruins. We are ready to submit to any | re* trie’don that l* reasonable, but a restriction Just because a party ha* the power to impose ' < tr r •* ud has our earnest, uncompro | muiug probßsu 1 . Professor Holmes, ot the Colit ge of Charles ton, has been appointed Superintendent ot the Nitre department for the Confederate Sutee in St nth tCaixUna. HU office will be in Co lumbia. disloyally Kebukeit— The Marie ta Grand Jury Presentments. We have read with interest, and thought worthy of a place in onr columns, the present ments of the Grand Jury of the Confederate Court, whieh sat at Marietta, last week. Like them, we hate torylsm in all its forms, and think the time has come when legal distinc tions should be drawn between the real friends and the real enemies of the government. There is one point, however, on which we beg leave to differ from the Marrietta Grand Jury. Ilad they stopped Bhort with their dep recation of “ disloyalty and disrespect” to ward the government, they would have covered the entire legitimate ground : they are wrong when they seek to interlere with the free ex ercise of opinion and speech with regard to the conduct ot their agents who have been chosen, as the representatives of the peop'e, to keep that government iu motion and direct it suc cessfully. The right to criticise —to approve and condemn-our “rulers,” as the Jury have thought proper to term them, is the very ei-- sence of true popular liberty, and he whoscekt to abridge that sacred right, strikes, unconsci ously though it be, a fatal stab at the very heart of free government. There is no such thing as responsibility withont vi guarai jeer of this , right, .and without responsibility pWGrnriiehl* is a despotism—a result which, we hope, many generations will have passed away before* we shail be called on to contemplate as a part oi our destiny. For one we had rather ptrisb asserting the right of thinking and speaking freely of all affairs in this republican govern ment of ours, than live with the consciousness that our tongne and pen were fettered, by legal enactments or otherwise. Still, we appreciate, and would applaud, the motive that prompted this immoderate expres sion of sentimeßt on the part of the Marietta Grand Jury. Au excess of zeal and patriotism led them into error, and we honor the hearts whose feelings are uncontrolled only in cn templation of a righteous cause and a suffering country. Still error is error, always hurtful, and we have thought it our duty, iu all kind ness, to expose it, and warn our countrymen against it. Power is ambitious, with an evi r increasir g tendency to encroach, to lengthen its cords and strengthen its stakes, and our true safety consists in resisting the first color of an attack on our liberties as a peopie. Whilst 6uch are our sentiments, we are far irom countenancing a factious oi piosition, or even querulous disposition, towards the admin istrative officers of the country, under any cir cumstances, and especially in time of war when we are struggling for national existence, and need atl the respect and confidence we can inspire toward both our nation and the agents we have chosen to pilot us through the storm We would counsel a friendly regard and gener ous forbearance in all cases not vitally prejudi cial to the public interest, for we have serious quarrels with others, and jeopard our cause by dissensions at home. - Our Army (orrrspoudeut and Him Critics. The letters of our Army Correspondent, *‘P. W. A,” concerning Gen. Beauregard’s order, excluding correspondents from the Army of the West, have been criticised liberally by a por tion of the Press—bis positions opposed, but discussed in a spirit ol candor and moderation. Another portion of the Press—a very small and insignificant one, which has either not the en terprise or the money to employ correspondents and keep its readers property informed of pub lic affiirs—has given loose rein to its pri vate malice and all manner of nncbariiableness against our correspondent, seeking to hold him up as an incendiary writer, and a defamer of the leaders of our armies. Such stuff is so ridiculously illogical and unjust, that it became its own best answer, and we have not thought it worth while to trouble ourselves about it. “P. W. A ” is beyond the reach of eneh malici ous creatures, and their missiles fall impotent at his feet. A lady friend gives the true phi losophy of this particular species of opposi tion, and without saying more, we let her speak for herself : Savannah, June !Lb, !562. Editor of the Republican: Dear Sir :—l do not know whether or not your valuable paper is included in the allusion made by the Morning Xeiex oi Friday last, “ to sensation papers,” and their special war corres poudetits. but must say that I have ever found the mixatious most agreeable which were pro duced by reading the army curt respondence of, the Savannah Republican. I do not doubt but what such editors as had no correspondence worthy of publication, are rt juicing iu the re cent action taken by Geuerai Beauregard, ex eluding newspaper reporters from the lines ol our army, as thereby vour own aide and talented correspondent, P. W. A., sutlers for the indiscretion ol others. I should consider it a depredation to Mr. Alexander, to apply to him any j art of the article taken Irom the “fu tala Spirit of the South," at the same time that I teel a resentment towards alt such t (fusions, smarting as I (and jour readers generally) do nnder the loss of P. W. A.’s most interesting letters. The entire reliance to be placed upon his corn muuicalions, reudered them deeply interesting under all circumstances, even when the news couponed was not so encouraging as we could wish. It is to hoped that the prohibition will, in a short time, be removed, and that we may soon again enjoy the pleasure now denied us. Respectfully, A Lady Friend Ultller’a Head. We have received the following note from a lady of this* city, and we have no doubt it breathes the universal spirit of her sex through out the Couiedeiacy.. Yes, the women ot Geor gia would pay a million to avenge, in the only proper manner, the outrage perpetrated Upon their sex, and on the civilizuion of the nine teenth century, by tbe infamous New England barbarian, v hom our wouid-be oppressors have sent out to lord it insolently over a brave and virtuous people. For ourselves, we make this declaration and take the responsibility : If that infamous proclamation is not disowned and Butler recalled in disgrace by the Lincoln gov ernment, the South should raise tbe Black Flag and shut the door ol mercy forever In the face ot oar vile invaders. It would close tbe war, and the Christian world would say that we. are tally justified iu the step Conlrderates should take no prisoners, and never yield themselves while breath animates their bodies. They should scorn life preserved at the hand of sn.h an enemy. A late general address of Geuerai Robert Lee to the Army of Virginia, closes with ine*e sig nificant words: “Victory or Death'." We stand to the motto. We would adopt it for ourselves, and at the same time force it on the enemy. We should be conquered when slain, and the enemy who seeks to enslave ns should be placed on the same footing. But to the noble, indignant note of our cor respondent, which reads as follows. We do trippie tho amount, and rely on tho ladies of Georgia to enable ns to pay the r, ward : Editor of the Republican : Deat Sir:—Beeing your spirited notice in this morning’s paper, ot the offer of a coble Missis sippian, to give a reward of ten thousand dol lars lor the infamous Butler’s head, can yon not suggest through your valuable j lurnai, the propriety of every woman m our Confederacy contributing her ume to trippie the Sum, lor a consummation dear to the insulted honor ot our country women, one and all * Respectfully, A Savannah Woman.

SKMY CORRESPONDENCE Of the Savannah Republican. ifvacaatlon In the Wcit-Probabilities cf tbe Future. Mobile, June fit it. It would appear the statement that the evacua tion of Corinth Was effected without loss ot life on our pact, was not literally true. Yon have already been informed that a deiachmcn ol Federal cavalry made a dash by a circuitous route, at Boonsville, on Friday last, and set tire to a train of cars loaded with arms and the sick men to whom they belonged. The timely appearance of a small Confederate force pre vented the destruction of the train, though several hundred muskets of au interior descrip tion were destroyed, aud as many more badly damaged. Unfortunately, five or six wounded soldiers and several dead bodies, which were being removed for interment, were also burnt- Several officers umorg the sick were taken piis % oners, but were subsequently rescued, and a number of their captors seized and brought in. Private letters confirm the statement of the abandonment of Fort Pillow. It is believed that the entire garrison got away in safety, and i tjt most of the ammunition, baggage, &c., saved. The guns of the fort, I presume, were all lost, as it would have been txeeedingiy difficult, if not impos-ible, to remove them in presence of a hostile fleet. 1 am not informed of the fate of our gnnboats. They, probably, escaped down the river, and sought safety in some ot the western tributaries of the Missis- sippi. It is believed, also, that all the machinery, stores, and other government property, at Memphis, were saved, and that all the locomo tives and <nrs on the Memphis and Charleston, Memphis and Ohio, and Mobile and Ohio rail roads, (except the trains which arrived too late at the Hatchie bridge and were destroyed by ourselves,) were removed down to Grenadaand Jackson, and in this direction. Ail the office books and p -pers, and other moveable properly belonging to the roads, were likewise saved. Such drugs in Memphis as would be useful to the army were, removed, as well as the specie in the banks. The cotton, sugar, molasses and tobacco, as you have already been informed, were destroyed. It will r< quire several weeks to replace the bridgts on the railroads, including that across the Tennessee river, at Decatur; and when that shall have been done, it will be necessary for 'he Federals to bring ears and locomotives from the North b tore they can avail themselves of the roads. It is too early to say what course Halleck will probably pursue. Our hope is that he will follow Beauregard up. It may’ be, however, he will seek to cross the country in the direc tion ot Memphis; or, if that should appear too hazardous to him, he may retrace his steps to the Tennessee, and come around by water. But either one of these movements would seem to involve the loss of Middle Tennessee, and to leave open the road to Nashville and Louisv lie. It is more likely that he will maintain his present position, unril he can rebuild the bridges jmd put the railroads in running order, h ping, in the mean rime, that the Mississippi will be opened and Mobile reduced and occupied. Any movemim just now would be full of dan ger to himself. The country need not be surprised if the bold movement ol Stonewall Jackson upon the Po tomac should be imitated in the West. Wheth er it will be on the east or west side of the Mississippi, or both, I shall not undertake to say. We are not without, ‘troops towards thq setting sun, orju the direction ot Cumberland Gap Any part, of Virginia is a paradise to Corinth and the ai j iceut country. The mud when it rained, and'the dust when it did not, together with the prevailing scarcity of water, rendered it impossible tw the Ariuv of thp..Mi’-sissi|)iAAu. maintain itionJqmfius or cn-anTiness i-o essen tial t*( ahh. The salt beef and b tcon the men were compelled to eat, unaccompanied with fresh meats, vegetables or Iruit, were produc tive of thirst, and the more water they drank, the worse it was for them. That there should be a tendency to scorbutic diseases, under these circumstances, should occasion no surprise, though it should induce every man and woman who has the me ns, to contribute what they can to prevent the spread ot such disorders. All the fresh meats, vegetables, fmits, green and ciried, and pickles, that can pn-slbly tie spared, should be sent immediately to the West. It is too far for the people of Georgia to send,fresh meat, or vegetables and green fruit ; but they can furnish dried fruit and pickles. This sh uld be done at once, in order to preserve the health of the army, and to save the men who are al ready in hospital. A pound of dried frufl is worih more ju6t now than ten pounds ot salt provisions, and a j ir of pickles than a bushel of flour. P. W. A. Mobile, Jut e 9. Tbe evacuation ot Fort Pillow, though com menced at the time indicated in a former letter, was not completed as soon as I bad supposed. We had no torce at Memphis, except a few de tached companies, whose business it was to execute the orders of the Provost Marshal, ihe Federal fleet did not appear before the place until last Friday, when it was hotly, but ineffectually, engaged by Copt-. Montgomery’s cottou boats. The particulate of tho engagement except such as were sent you on by telegraph, have not been received. The same may be said of tbe evacuation ol Fort Pillow. It is stab and that tbe Confederate ram Arkan xan has been completed and sent down to Vicks burg, and singiiiue hopes are indulged that she w ill prove to he a second Merr.mac. If she be the gunboat I saw launched at Memphis, and which was subsequently removed to upon the tall ot Island 10, there is good ground for these expeditions. She is provided with a more formidable rant than that of Merri u.ar, and-was built 1.0 mount eight guns—three on each side, one in the bo -and one in the stern. Her sides and deck were clad with rail road T iron bars, and her machinery and wood work were ol the strongest and most approved kind. It Is reported that a portion of tho army has fulleu down to Saltillo, the next station inflow Guntowu on the Mobile A Oaio road. The supply ot wa‘er is scant ior seventy-five miles below Coriulh, though much belter and more abundant that at tbe latter place, and ll may be that Gen. Beauregaid Ipis extended his encamp ment with a view to relieving the pressure upon the points first occupied. Indeed, it is doubt ful whether Halleck can advance further South in the direction taken by Beauregard, unless be first organize aud send forward a corps ol will-borers. The wells opened by the Coufed erates Can be easily destroyed, in case of a farther retrogade movement; in which evt nt, it would be almost, if not quite, impossible for an invading force to advance. We can ask nothing better than that Hallec-k should remaia at Corinth for two months. It would be equiv alent to a loss to him of 30 000 men. The loss of eight locomotives and as many trains laden with commissary stores, at the Haicbie bridge, suggests tbe inquiry whether the practice of destroying railway bridges, ex cept in particular cases, is not of questionable expediency, if not unwise.* Where an army has been defeated, or is pressed by a largely superior force, everything that can hinder or delay the advance of the e'demy should be re sorted to. In his relreAfc front Bowling Green back behind the Tennessee river, Gen. John ston acted wisely in destroying the bridges at Bowling Green, Nashville Columbia; for he was pursued by a or four times as numerous as bis own’;* tod where, too, an enemy has‘possession of a railroad which be is opening, it may be well enough to apply the torch to hi# bridges. .* The Federal* themselves destroyed the bridges over Bear Crdek andMhe Tennessee at Decatur; and what would they not give now it they had not done so! And yet the bridges would be worth nothing to them but for the fact that they succeeded, through the treason of a railroad official at Huntsville, in procuring a supply of locomotives and cars. It was our intention to destroy the hriJge at Di-catnr, but a month aga, when we tr-captuied the place, we would have given millions for the bridge there aud over Bear Creek. Orders bad been given to burn the bridge over the Wstchia, at six o’clock Friday morning, by 1 which hoar U was supposed all the trains from Coriutb would have crossed. 'Pile trains had not arrived, howeVer, and the bridge was fired ; ! and this necessitated the d< struetion oi the trains with their valuable freight. Hie 1< co motive and running gear Of tbe cars cannot be easily replaced, if at alt, as nearly all the foun dries and machine shops iu the Confederate States' are engaged on government work. Meanwhile, onr railroads and rolling stock are fast wearing out. This fact you are not in a position to realize so fully as the people in Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. After all, the destrnctiou of the Hatcbie hridge could be of no benefit to us in any pos sible event. The Federals did not have a single car this side of the Tennessee river, and cannot have one until they shall have rebuilt the bridges over the Tennessee and Bear Creek.— While engaged in that work they can easily replace the bridge over tbe Hatchie. It is no answer to this remark, to say that a few days would suffice to enable the Federals to ship • ngines and cars down the Mississippi to Memphis, where they could be placed on the road. Iflam correctly informed, (here is not. a car in the United States suitable to the guage of the Memphis & Charles on road, or indeed of any road south ot Lynchburg and Chaiiotte to the Mississippi river. West of the Missis sippi, the roads both in the Confederate States and the United States are of the same guage— v;z : 5 feet Cinches. Eist of the Mississippi, the roads in the Confederate States, with a few exceptions, are 5 feet go-ge—the exceptions being the line from Alexandria to Lynchburg, tbe Virginia Central, the ichmond. and Fred ericksburg, the Seaboard & Roanoke, the line ruining from Richmond to Wilmington and from Weldon to Charlotte, and tin; Montgom ery & West Point roads—all of which are 4 feet BL£ inches guage. The roads in the United States east of the Mississippi, have the same guage—4 feet 8% inches —except the Ohio roads, whieh are 4 leet 10 inches, and the St. Louis & Cincinnaii, and the New York & Erie roads, which are C feet. Thus you perceive that the possession of our railroads in the South west c m be of rio use. to the Federals, unless they tear up the tracks and relay them, or go.to work and build locomo tives and cars to suit the guage. The for-met course .-they hive pur- ued on the Louisville & Nashville road, as otherwise the posses ’-m ol the road would have beeu of no pos- le l vantage to them. They have beeu ei le “ make some little use of the roads lea gf n DeC-atur to Nashville, and from Ste SO Nashville, as well as. of that part of t Me phis ifc Charleston road ’ying north o* t Ten nessee river ; but this they could not hat one but for the ears ihev stole at Huntsville. In view oi these tacts, the policy of the bum ing our railroad bridges, especially that over l he Hatchie, would see u to be at least of doubt fill propriety. 1 am not unsupported iu this opinion by high military authority. P. W. A. From Hit van.•.ccoguition by Fi mice. We have had an interview with a New Or leans gentleman who left II ivaua ou th£ 26ri> ult., successfully passed tue blockade of a Gull port, and arrived in this city last evening. Hi says the British steamer Trent, which arrived at Havana on the night of the 23d uit., brought information of the recognition of the Confeder ate States by the French Emperor. We have Havana files to the 24. h, and they make no mention oi such action on the part of tin French government, but our informant says ii was generally talked of and believed in well in formed circles in Havana. The Hivaua papers contain but little news ol interest. There is soma comment on American affairs, which we have not had the leisure to translate, but will do so iu time for ourmxt Issue. There is a liberal amount of Mexican news, which we will condense for the iufoima tion of our readers. There were at Havana eight steamers belong It;;’ iu parties in tIP- Confederate fetaies.

Capture if tub Hikmciu.-"lbeCharleston i f'ourer has a statement if two passengers, who cmne over iu tbe Demiuilt, and having been difeharged arrived saleiy at Cliarh ston a day or two since. We make the following extinct: The B rmuda wa, about six'y mile; off the coast ot Nassau when she was fired at twice by the United States gunboat Mereedita, com mander Stillwagon, tir.-t with a blink cartridge, and afterwards w:b round .-hot. The board iog office examined the papers, declared them all right, a*nd said slot could p oceed on her voyage. Commander Siillwtgon, however, stopp'd the vessel, put a prize crew aboard and ordt red her to Philadelphia The i fflci-rs of tbe Mereedita concurred In opinion liiat the vessel was not a legal priz \ but by taking her to a Noiihern port the ot j ct of the capture would br efT-cted. This was to try 'lie case as to the legality oi tbe seizure, detain the ves el per haps f, r months, and thus the arras and ammu nition aboard, supposed intended for the Sou h, hy that time, perhaps, would be lendered u-e less. Commander Stillwagon stated that he had a list of some twenty seven vessels, which wen supposed to have arm< <fcc., on board, for the South. Tnese he was ordered to capiure *and secure whenever and wherever he found them. He disclaimed any responsibili y in tbe matter, and was only obeying the order of his govern ment. Yankee Faith.— The Richmond Enquirer ot the 6th instant, says : A few days ago an incident occurred at one of the bridges over the Chickahominy, sc- king ly illustrative of the good faith of .ihe I mkee character.

EdHor :—Were It not for the lact that wt aie in “Line-of-Batlle,” (and l ave, been to three days) separated irom our wagons, whicl are four miles in the rear, 1 would apologiz for the paper upon whieh I write you ibis let ter. I am compelled to tear the leaves fron my “Dia;y,” or “Pocket Journal,” to wrio wiiat few letters I can send my friends. In less than a f ait hour alter my letter of tin 31-t was scaled lor the “mail man” to carry tc Richmond, we were maicbtd some little dis tance to the right, ihe whole army on that and the previous day, moved furtln r to the right, as ibe main point ol attack seemed to be iu ltini direction—tbe r- ads leading to the cap ital south of the Chiekahomioy. „ We were in easy hearing ot the desperate fight of Saturday and Sunday. Gen. Toombs’ brigade marched to tl.e battlefield to take a hand in the general engagi mem which was ex pected to comet ff, but our Yankee “brethren” were too cautious to haz ird another pitched battle in the open field. Aud so we were dis nppointed again, although the enemy wen within a mile or mile and a half. We kept oui position upon th. ground where the ball opened on Saturday, until dark, when we started foi campc, the new one selected that morning.— That night’s march will be ever remembered by the brigade, as second only to the one per formed on Monday, May sth, in the memorabU retreat from Yeiklown. The mud m maty places was absolutely hr/ deep ! We had no alter native but to pitch right through, or take to the woods, which half of our regiment did. 8; dark, inexpressibly dark, were these woods thai halt of them were lost., and many did not find the regiment until tbe next*luy. At 12 o’clock wo halted, yet three miles from our wagons, having marched hiec miles! Three miles in five hours! This will give yon some idea of the roads over which we had to m ii’ch. It is useless tor me to give you an extended aciount of the actions ol Saturday and Sunday I shall confine myselt to individual particulars, obtained from those in whom I have implicit confidence —persons who cither par' icipated in, or witnessed the engagements. On Sunday, you are informed, there was very Jiitle fighting —nothing like a distinct battle, but rather a continuation of the battle of the day before. Gen. Lorgstreel’s, Gen. Hager’s, and Gar. Whiting’s divisions were engaged, but received reinforcements’. The lighting was desperate beyond comparison, except with J.lckson’s de 'eat, of Banks. Not a man, or at least, not a regiment swerved during the day. Georgia’s glorious Sixth, Seventh, Twenty-seventh, and Twenty eighth covered themselves with glory Tbe Twenty-eighth suffered terribly, and the Sixth heavily. Among the killed in the Sixth was George Felix Lewis, a private in the ‘ Syd ney Brown Infantry,.” from. Hancock county. In bis death, Hancof-k has lost one ot her brightest intellects. Hi was a member ol the bar, and widely known to the members of the bar as tbe most promising young lawyer. llis genius was of the brightest order, his intellect most brilliant. A iargS circle of admiring friends, affectionate relatives are left to mourn his early death. Its reverend ftther will, ere this reaches his eye, have said —“Lord, thy will be done !” Lieut.. James Reid, ot the same company, was seriously wounded, but it is hoped not mortally. Little Gus. Parrlue was also wouud eu in the rignt brqastr, but will, perhaps, recov er. There are other casualties of the “Sidney Browns,” bull do not now remember them. As we went to the battle ground on Sunday we passed ihe ambulate train loaded with the wounded. The sight wa touching—the first I had ever witnes-ed. Some poor fellows were pijtrcucl rhrorp.-h . aUil. th—wb—Hy -mow* WU some with broken arms, legs, ankles. <tc. It was, trn’y, a sad sight. Lieu . Wick Raines, of the 28th Georgia, from Taibotiori, was among the. wounde 1, and the only one I knew. ILs leg was broken by a mime, just below the knee Amputation. I lear, will be necessary He is a young lawyer of Ta;bott.on, and is extensively known-in his section Uls fortune is now made, even if he does lose a portion of his lag! Tie people will reward his bravery. IPs young wife will not be leas proud oi him either. Wick s a noble fellow, a brave, kind hearted officer, and his example is well worthy of emulation. But you have ere this received fuller particu lars than I am able to ft the 17th get into a fight, then I can give full particulars- The pickets in front had a little brush yes terday even.ng, and while I write they are pitch ing in pretty heavily on our right. We have had a fight in front of Richmond, sure enough, but McClellan did not attack us. It was a mistake about his army being in full retreat., although it is believed he sent off a con siderable force to protect Washington. The storm of fast. Friday night did prove to be a special providence. A Yankee force of 40 000 were cut off by the rapid rise of the Chickahominy, and could not have received re bitorcements but for their pontoon bridge. In this i see tile hand of God. That force was at tacked and badly wtii ped, dTiven from their eutrenchments, and lost much ammunition, irins aud equ page. God be praised for the vie-’ ory ! V. A. S P.

Well, I venture to say there is a streak ol Union sentiment here, broader Ihau iu any city South oi Mason ami Dix in’n line, aud Un is probably the reason why the Government is so severe. Union meetings are seeretly held, every week, a..d the element of danger P- b-mg carelully lostered and nursed intoa lull strength tor Uie Federal advent. I venture to say, lur- Iher, that Federal flags will be Hang to the brecz • us soon as N irtuvra soldiers appear, and that Yankee officers will find in many a resi dence here a reception as Kind as if in=y were under their own via u id tig tree. There is a meeting to be ueld today to take in o eon.-ideration the propriety ot Ueitiiuing the liver at this point.
