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. — I.ist of Casualties in tlie 64tli Ga.

Our ex changes will confer a favor by continu ing their visits while the publication of the Standard is thus temporally suspend ed; and meanwhile we shall be glad to sec out friends who may he passing through Raleigh, and to hear from them generally, verbally or by letter. We have not quite completed the Comp troller’s Report, and shall therefore, issue |an extra in the course of a few days cod- the concludin 0 * tables of t the re- O O *■ port. We learn from the Montgomery Mad that M rs. W. B. Mum ford, widow of the man who tore down the first United States ilag raised in New Orleans, and was in consequence hung, by Beast Butler, has * arrived in this city, with her three child ren. We agree with the Mail that to : the generous and patriotic, no better opportunity could be presented of show ill" their appreciation of the brave Mum ford, than by contributing to the releif of his widowed wife and orphan children. 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, 24th. 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. ■ COXFEDCHRAT* PRISONER^. —We Would State, for the’information of correspondent, that the Confederate prisoners at Johnston's Island are Vic ing removed, in alphabetical order, to Point Look out, Maryland. | We would also state that hoses sent to the Con federate prisoners from the South rarely, it ever, I reach those for whom they are intended; hence it is next to useless to take the trouble, since large quantities of clothing and provisions are constant ly being sent to the Confederate prisoners bv la dies in the North,’and their contents are usually j confiscated and never delivered to our soldiers at i *ll.—*/ chmoud Unquietr. $3 Per Month. 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.”— [ Mobile Register, ‘2Sth % Later from the United State*. > 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.

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.” (HiHi illilitani JlUmtorti HEADQUARTERS POST—II 9 Broad Street, Up Stairs.
