The Yankee Wounded. —About two hun
dred of the enemy (says the Tallahassee Flor
idian <s• Journal , of the 27th*inst.,) have been
brought to our city in the last two or three
days. They are a mongrel set, composed
mostly of foreigners and negroes. The ne
groes that we have seen are mostly from the
Northern States, though a few are from the
States of Maryland, North and South Caroli
na. They represent the 47th and 115th New
Y'ork, the Ist and 40th Massachusetts, the.3d
North Carolina and Bth Pennsylvania Regi
ments. They all tell the same stoiy, that they
were drafted. The whites are a miserable
looking set, and not a whit too good to be put
on an equality with their “c«d,ored brethren,”
which has been done in tlie hospital, the ne
groes and whites being placed side by side.
They came together and should be kept to
gether, that the}' may learn how sweet is that
equality which they tire fighting to impose,
on us.

British Neutrality.
The
18th, estimates that “an aimy of 75,000
at the very least, lias been recruited for
the Federals in Ireland within the last
two years.” From other 'parks of the
British dominions arms and ammunition
for the use of these recruits has been ob
tained, and the business stands to us prac
tically precisely as it would if Great Brit
ain had hired to the Yankee Government
an armed anti equipped force of 75,000
men. has been done with the lull
knowledge, and therefore by the permis
sion tacit, or*open of the British ministry,
and especially of Earl Russell, whose
conscience in the matter of neutrality
was so acutely touched, at the thought of
two unarmed vessels being constructed in
a British ship yard, for the use, presump
tively, of the Confederate Government.
Such a fact as this needs no comment.
It will be many a long year before it can
be forgotten by the people of these Con
federate States, or'cease to give character
to their feelings and guidance to their
conduct towards Great Britain.
Our Government should devise some
means to stop this foreign enlistment sys
tem. If they believe that England will
take any active steps in that direction,
they are much mistaken. She lias two
motives for conniving at this system —first/
the destruction of an clement which was
to her a source' of annoyance and danger
at home; and secondly, the giving a great*
er impulse to the war in this country with
a view to expedite the grand issue of mu
tual exhaustion from which she hopes so
much. She has long felt that the Irish
lands could be more profitably used in tlie
raising of Devon bullocks than poor hu
man beings, and she would cheerfully con
nive at or actively promote any measure
calculated to effect this change.
[Richmond Whig.
Marshal Kane Serenaded. —-It hav
ing become generally known that his im
mediate friends intended to compliment
Col. George P. Kane with a serenade,‘a
large crowd assembled in the street, Mon
day night, in front of the American Hotel
where fho Colonel has established his quar
ters. Smith’s fine Battalion Band was
brought into requisition for the occasion,
and, after discoursing some excellent mu
sic, and the proposal and giving of three
hearty cheers by the crowd, Col. Kane
came forward on the balcony of the-Hotel
and delivered a brief speech as follows:
“Fellow Citizens of the Confederate
States : 1 can well understand this demon
stration on the part of most of you to
night. ] have embraced the first oppor
tunity to come among you to devote my
self to the cause of' freedom and self-gov*
eminent, in which we are all so deeply
enlisted. >So far as lam concerned, lam
determined never to cease fighting and
struggling with you until the Confederacy
is permanently established.
Resuming his acknowledgment to the
crowd for the honor intended him, Col.
Kane then retired.
Dr. McGill of Maryland, then proposed
that the Marylanders enlist for the war,
and continued his remarks at considerable
length,
Captain McNeil, the celebrated partisan
and V alley Scout, being called for, came
forward and responded with a speech.
Gen. Humphrey Marshal, of Kentucky,
and others were lustily called for, but
were not present, and after some further
stirring music, the crowd gradually dis
persed for the night.— Richmond 1 Vliiy,

New Phrases ok Butler’s Brutality.—
Some time ago Miss Ellen Roan, of Norfolk,
who is a step daughter ot Captain McCarrick,
of the Confederate Navy, hearing that her
st.'p father was in Wilmington, on his way to
Europe, succeeded in eluding the vigilance of
the Yankee sentinels, and made her way lo
Wilmington to take leave of him. Alterhis
departure she made three attempts before she
succeeded in getting back to Norfolk. Final
ly, however, and a few days
after her arrival she was summoned before
Beast Butler, and obeyed the summons, ac
companied by Father O Keefe, of whose churc h
she was a member. Butler questioned her
closely as to wliese she had been, and what
•she witnessed in the Confederate States. She
respectfully declined answering his questions,
upon which Ip* angrily threatened that he
“would soon conquer her stubbornness."
Father Q'Keefe here interferred, and informed
Butler that it “ was not stubbornness, but a
regard for her promise to observe secresy on
such matters, without giving which she could
not pass through (lie Confederate lines. He
was insultingly told to mind his own business,
and the drunken tyrant swore that, “ before
she passed from his hands, she should be
transparent enough to see \hrough her and
enable him to learn all she knew.' She was
sent a prisoner to the Custom House, and
ordered to he fed, on bread and water. Two
or three days afterwards her mother, on ap
plying to see her, was informed she was trans
ferred to Fortress Monroe. Thither the dis
tracted mother went, and on her arrival there
all the information the brutal officials would
give was that her daughter had left the Fort
ress. A private soldier, with more humanity,
moved by the mother’s grief, privately in
formed her that Miss Ellen had been sent to
Fort McHenry, at Baltimore. MrS. McCarrick,
after her fruitless journey to Fortress Monroe,
with much difficulty obtained permission from
the “beast’’ to send a cbange,of clothing, but
; he would not allow any communication, ver
bal or written.— Richmond Dispatch. ■

Fort Powell. —One of those gloomy pat
riots who never .see or at least never talk
about anything but the dark side of the pic
ture, says “the taking of Fort Powell is but
a question of time.” This is a military axiom
entirely misapplied in this ease. Any post
that is invested by** competent force, and that
can bo cut off aud starved, or can be ap
proached by parallels, certainly must fall in
time, unless rescued by a relieving army. But
Fort Powell is in neither of these categories:
It stands in the middle of a wide expanse of
salt water, where the Yanks cannot dig ditch
es, aud it is not assailed or assailable on the
side from which it can he indefinitely supplied
with all it requires. It stands precisely where
#ort Sumter siands, except that it is not as
sailed by a fleet of monitors and tremendous
shore batteries at short range. With a plucky
garrison Farragut’s wooden-ships never can
take Fort "Powell, and it has got that garrison.
So Commodore Farragut can “peg away.”—

> I*tiited States papers of the 22d contains the
following :
Sherman’s expedition.
A despatch from Cairo says army
passed through Jackson in two columns, driving
the rebels so precipately across-Pearl river, that
he left his pontoons and two pieces of artillery tie
land him. Our forces seized supplies and pro
visions and swept 'on, reaching Meridian in ten
days after leaving Vicksburg. The rebels have a
garrison of 15,000 rrieu at Mobile.”
Other accounts represent that Sherman destroy
ed the bridges on the Mobile and Ohio Road, sev
ering the connection between Polk’s forces.
Another ridiculous despatch from Huntsville
reports a heavy battlo between Sherman and Polk
near Brandon, in which Polk was whipped and
lost 13,000 prisoners.
The cavalry expedition under Grierson and
Smith is .represented as moving in ihc vitals of the
South. Its mission is to cut the railroads in Ala
bama and Mississippi, so as to isolate General
Polk’s array. The total force is about 10,000 mdh,
and will “probably emerge from robeldom at
Madisonville, L;m Pensacola, or near Chatta
noog.”
PROM WESTERN VIRGINIA. *
A despatch from Louisa, Ky., says General Gal
lup surprised Colonel Ferguson’s command in
Waypo county, Western Virginia, and captured 00
prisoners, 90 stand of arms, horses, Ac. The re
port says 500 Union prisoners were released.
FROM FLORIDA.
The expedition to Florida, under Gillmore, is
represented to be a complete success. Gillmore
officially reports that after landing* at Jackson
ville on the 7th, his
the interior on the night of the Bth, and getting
into the rear of thorebels drawn up in line of bat
tle seven miles from Jacksonville, captured a
battery, and rebelled Baldwin next morning. lie
claims to have taken thus far 100 prisoners, eight
pieces of artillery, and a large amount of proper
ty, without the loss of a man.
FROM LOUISIANA.
News from New Orleans to the 9th, reports that
on Sunday previous, Gen. Dick Taylor attacked
n*e troops Natciin, was repulsed
with considerable loss and dri» en six pjj s
forces,numbered 3,000.
FINANCIAL.
Gold was steady at 159. R
lathe House of Representatives, Mr. Stevens
reported back the bill authorizing the sale of sur
plus gold in the Treasury, with a recommendation
against its passage. The Herald says the amount
is Some 19,000,000.
Brown lo w Below. —lt is reported that Par
son Brownlow is dead. On the strength ot this
report a eotemporaty accounts for the late exces
sively cold weathew?there being a demand down
below for all the heat we had up here. As the
weather has turned surprisingly warm, wo may
infer that Brownlow is in a light blaze, an.it send
ing up more heat than a thousand tar kilns. On
this principle #e may account for the-otherwise
unaccountable mildness of the present winter. Jhe
myriads of departed Yankees put into Old Nick’s
furnaces during the last three years have become
fairly ignited—hence the extraordinary heat this
winter. If they arc not burnt out before next
summer, what a summer it will be. Whew! It is
well we laid in a good stock of ice. But we must
net-bo irreverent.
Supposing Brownlow to be down below, is it to
be expected that His Satanic Majesty will harm so
able a coadjutor? Not he. Parson Brownlow
would he hig h in j favor, and get what he never
hadjbefore—a government office. Would he be
made Government Printer, and edit the official
organ, or become chief cook and bottle washer? —
His first business would be to order rooms for
Lincoln, Seward and Butler, with, fresh beds of
live coals, ilis next would be to anathematize
Jolt. Davis, and after that to write a book dc- <
uouncing Secession. Lastly, he would preach a
sermon on the connection between Satanic rule
and “the best government the fvorld ever saw.”
But he is not dead. The Old Boy has too much
use for him in the North. — Rich. Whig.
Disappearance of Young Girls. —The Ro
chester, N. Y. U ll ion says:
Advertisementsforyounggirlsjastin their leens,
who have disappeared from their homes, are quite
common now. There was never before a time in
Rochester when the street walkers were so numer
ous as at present; and there are many of them of
the younger class, little more than children. The
liberal expenditures of bounty money has some
thing to do with this state of things, no doubt,
here and elsewhere. If the war continues much
longer, our people will be so thoroughly debauched
that there will he little worth saving of the na
tion.
Internal Strife.— -The Lynchburg “Repub
lican” publishes a letter from an army corres
pondent near Somerville Ford, Va., which gi9?'S
following account of the Yankee re-enlistment:
“Two gentlemen, who have been scouting in
Prince 'William county, and have just returned
from there, staid in our camp last night, and re
port that there has been a heavy light among a
corps of Yankee troops stationed near Bristoe Sta
' tion, under the following circumstances ;
A day had been appointed for Te-enli?ting the
men of this corps, and a large number of barrels
of whiskey had been brought down arid the heads
knocked out and the men invited to drink, in or
der to get them up to the stir king point. Some of
the Dutch and Irish pitched in, got tight, and
arrayed themselves in the line of the re-enlisted,
but the calculating, full-blooded Yankees, togeth
er with a large portion of the whole, smelt the rat
and refused to participate : thereupon the re
enlisted men commenced taunting the rest, and a
general row followed, all parties seizing their
arms. The fight lasted for hours, and the firjng
is said to have been terrific; The commanding
officer had six pieces of artillery opened on the
insurgents, [and finally succeeded in restoring
quiet. Five hundred men are reported as killed,
and a/long train of ambulances and wagon.- were
loaded and sent off with wounded.. I presume
there is no doubt as to the truth of this affair, as
officers in this regiment have received letters from
their families in that neignborhood confirming
the facts, and stating that they heard the firing &c.
Two thousand of the men implicated in this mat
ter were placed in irons, which fact will give yo*t
some idea of the extent and importance of this af
fair. This is the second fight the Yankees have
had lately, as reported by a prisoner.
Two Yankee regiments, whose terms of service
had expired, were ordered to advance against the
rebel-, which they refused to do, and a brigade
was ordered against them. The Du> regiment* are
said to have whipped the brigade l.t.tn losing
about one hundred men killed and wounded.
From Europe.
The Steamship Africa has arrived with European
dates to the 7th.
A dispatch from Hamburg, the 6th, *ays severe
fighting has beeu going on between the Danes and
Germans, and wounded were constantly coming
into Reudsburg. A later despatch announces the
evacuation of Schleswig by the Danes, and its oc
cupation by the allies. In the attack on Missundi,
on the 2d, the Prussians were twice repulsed with
heavy loss.
In the Bjjßish House of Lords, in the course of
the debate oh the foreign policy of the Govern
ment. Earl Derby characterized the poli.-y of Earl
Russell as humiliating to England, and repudia
ted the idea of the British responsibility to the
•Government »f the United States for the depreda
tions of the Alabama. He trusted such a reply
had been forwarded to Washington as would for-,
ever put an end to such demands. In his reply,
Earl Russell said that England bad not given
the slightest promise of assistance to Denmark.—
Jn the Commons, during the discussion of the
speecjj, Mr. Disraeli expressed himself of the opin
ion that the Queen should have made some allu
sion to American affairs, and complained of her
silence. Lord Palmerston replied vigorously, de
fending the course of the Government.
Louis Nopoleon, a], a ball given by him on the
3d inst., remarked that the course of France would
be non-intervention in the war in Europe.
East Tennessee.— The Richmond
Dispatch of the 24th says:
“\\ T c have a rumor, whether well foun
ded or not we are not prepared to say, that
the Confederate forces have captured and
now have possession of Cumberland Gap.
An officer from Gen Longstreet's com
mand says that Knoxville is virtually in
our possession, and would be occupied by
oirr forces but for the prevalence of small
pox in the city. Longstreet’s army is
represented to be in flue health and spirits
well fed and clothed, with full confidence
in themselves and leaders.”
