Saturday Evening. Latest from the t'nifed states The Baltimore American ot the 25th and 26th inst. have been received. We subjotn a summary of the news : THE RKU HAVER EXPEDITION. The Red River expedition ha3 met with an important success in the capture of Fort De Russey, with 283 prisoners and several heavy guns. Our land forces, under Gen Smith, landed a tew miles below the tort, when Gen. Taylor, the rebel commander, attempted an attack on the rear of our forces, with the view ol cutting off our communications with the river. With a quick perception of the advan tages thus opened to us, Gen. Smith aban doned his communications with the river, and struck out boldly for Fort De Russey, which, bj forced- marches, he reached and captured before the rebels could gain their stronghold. Admiral Porter at once steamed up to Alex andria. This success gives us control of one of the richest cotton regions ot the South west, THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Lieut. Gen. Grant and staff arrived at the headquarters of the army of the Potomac, yesterday, (25th,) and at once ordered the army to be got ready for his inspection.- ib* was received with much enthusiasm. The First and Third Corps have been consolidated and attached to the Sixlb, commanded, by Maj. Gen. Sedgwick. Gen. Hancock has as sumed the command of the Second Corps, which is now one of the. largest in the army. Deserters continue to arrive in our lines. FINANCIAL. Secretary Chase, under the authority of the yiet authorizing the sale of the surplus gold in the Treasury, has determined to issue -“gold notes, receivable for duties, with which he proposes to anticipate the payment of interest on the public debt due up to Ist Jan., 1865. That due on or before the Ist of July nc-xt will be paid without rebate of interest: on that due after July Ist, a rebate of three per cent, will be exacted. It is supposed that about twenty-five millions of dollars of inter est on the public debt will be anticipated. In New York, on the 25th, (Friday,) gold opened at 168f, advanced to IC9.J-, and closed at-168L In Baltimore, the closing rate was 168$. " MISCELLANEOUS. Andy Johnson is urged by his friends as the nominee for Vice-President on the ticket with Lin coln. A number of Western troops are to be trans ferred to the Eastern theatre of war. General Burnside was in Washington on Thurs day last. The troops to accompany his expedi tion are rapidly assembling at Annapolis, Mary land. The Ohio Democratic Convention adopted reso lutions opposing the prosecution of the war for the subjugation of the South. Senator Saulsbury made a hold and defiant speech, the Yankee Senate, On the 25th, against millitary interference with elections. Gen. V . I'. Smith will he Chief of Staff to Lt. Gen.

Chicago has been fixed upon as the place of meeting for the great •‘Xati.mat Democratic Con vention” EUROPE AX SEWS* The appeal in the Alexandra case came up for discussion in the British House of Lords on March 11th. The Florida and Federal elpop-of-war St. Louis were lying in Funchal Bay when the mail steamer left Madeira. The Governor of Madeira reluct antly gave permission to supply the Florida with coal. She yas ordered to leave immediately after coaling. The Austro-Prussian troops have advanced fur ther into Jutland- Several engagements between them and the Danes have taken place, in Which the latter are reported to have sustained severe loss. The Cabinet of Vienna, it i- said, issued a cir cular professing the readiness of Austria to Like part in a conference and consent to an armistice witn Denmai k, and declaring that the Au.st.riau? and Prussian? will retire from Jutland if the Danes will evacuate DupH and Al.- efi. will cease to cap ture German ships, and wjill restore the prizes which they have made.

David Ewart, of Esq., writing of t >kia to the South Carolinian .says; While reading an article republished in your valuable paper, usder date of the Bth inst., entitled Okra Hemp, the follow ing thoughts suggested themselves: 1. Tt is a fibrous plant, and as such may be .converted into some of the useful arts. 2. The seed can be compressed; the re sult will be an useful oil, equal to, und an swering most, if not all tiic purposes of olive oil. 3. The cakes after impression are equal the cakes of the linseed oil after com pression for the food of stock. t. The seed has been often used with approval as u substitute for coffee 5. The bulb of the seed are eagerly sought after bv stock G. The residue of the stalk, after the fibres will hav > been removed, will an swer for litter for stock, thereby produ cing a large quantity of valuable ma nure. 7. Its value as an ingredient in soup, and as a vegetable on the-table, alone are too weil known to require any remarks from any one. As to that variety ufthe Okra best auap ted to the arts, the soil, culture, comports, manner of preparing and dressing for the uses and purposes- intended must be nee essaiiiv left to the observation, reflection and to the.experience of the cultivators. The fact which has been published, that . its strength ot fibre is considerably less j than iu mp. ought not by any means tore- i tard its experimental cultivation. It is an admitted fact that the texture ; and strength of both flax and hemp have been vastly improved since their first in troduetion. Why not the fibre of the Okra also ? I know of no plant more deserving of j notice and practical consideration than Okra, $3.50 Per Month. [From the Richmond Whig.] P<> see and Provisions. The tallacious hope of a short war did •us infinite harm in the outset. We are not free from danger of suffering still fur ther from a mistaken belief that the end cannot now be remote. “Decisive cam | paigns,” ‘lntervention/ “Speedy financial I crash,” &c , &c., are phrases that may mis | lead and produce much mischief. Per | haps peace is at hand, perhaps France is i about to recognize us, perhaps tlie war i will close this year, but whether this be so or not, the true policy for us, for every man in the Confederate States, is to pre pare for a war ot' interminable duration; Mexico may recoguize us, France may recognize us, England may recognize us, all Europe may do likewise, and wasting, desolating, devastating war stili go on.— The war will end when we have whipped the A ankees—whipped them in Virginia, whipped them in the Carolinas, in Ten nessee, in Mississippi, all round the lines where hostile armies confront each other. All other dreams of peace are but dreams. “Providence” does not ever “side with the heaviest battalions,” but with the brave, the Resolute, the persistent, the un conquerable. The army will not so much need these cautions. Officers and men alike are in “for the war,” whether that period be longer or shorter, and few there be who are not prepared to “endure hard ships as good soldiers” just so long ns the \ ankees choose to persist in their attempt at subjugation. The soldier at least will none the less discharge duty faithfully and fearlessly because of the possibility of an early and honorably peace. The class most likely to be affected by these suggestions of an early peace, are the farmers of the country, upon whose exertions so much depends. All this pra ting of “peace,” “peace,” is likely to cause the farmers to relax their energies, instead of putting forth the utmost effort to pro duce the largest possible amount of food for man and beast. The farmers of Vir ginia and North Carolina will reason if peace be so near at hand, there will be no need of large supplies of grain and forage, and acting upon this reasoning they will plant scantily. Suppose, then, the war does not end, what is the result? How is the array to lie fed? Whence shall food be had? The farmers ot’ \ irginia and North Car olina ought to raise a sufficient surplus to feed all the troops employed within the limits of those States, including ail the onimalo oi iko urtuic-Oj an 4 v»ill wIICD they use their utmost eudeavors. The importance of this is the more evident when the insufficiency of our transporta tion is taken into account. The States farther South can produce and do produce a large amount of breadstuff*, but the Government cannot transport them after they are gathered into the barns of tlfe planters, and, with an abundance there the supplies here are inadequate. What is really desirable is, that the farmers of V irginia and Carolina should produce every bushel oi grain and every pound of forage that they possibly can. Another tiling: The supply of meat in the country can be immensely increased if.our farmers will only use a little fore cast. Let each man who cultivates an acre of land turn out a litter of pigs. At least, Jet every man try and raise pigs enough to give him a supply of meat for j his family, it that he done, each man j will thus become a producer instead of being, as heretofore, a consumer. The true rule for every man who owns j an acreol ground is, to make that acre j produce every ounce of stuff which it will bring, with,such cultivation as it may be in his power to bestow. Self-interest would dictate this, and patriotism much j more. No Southern soldier believes that j the Yankees can whip the South, no South- i eru soldier dreams of peace without inde- i pendenee.

We learn a gentleman who left the front last night, that Gen. Wheeler had a pretty sharp brush with a body of Yankee cavalry yesterday near Ringgold, driving the enemy bnck. We have no particulars of the fight. We are*anthorized by Hon. £. M. Bruce of Kentucky, to say tbat he will pay the tuition ot every Kentifcky soldier w ho limy have lost a leg or an arm, or been otherwise disabled in the service during the war, who will attend school. Having earned their board and clothes, if they elect to waive a discharge, they have now an opportunity to secure a good educa tion. All teachers in towns, places in which hospitals are located, are desired to see all who are intended, and induce them to go to school. All bills will be paid on presentation to Mr. Bruce at Richmond, properly authen ticated. He advises all to study the English grammar, penmanship, and mathematics, thereby preparing themselves for clerical oi commercial pursuits and the great battle of life after peace shall again reign in our dis tracted land. A9 the Kentuckians are scat tered in every town in the Confederacy, we hope the press will generally copy, thereby advisiug the soldier of his opportunities. heyiste , r. The Augusta Constitutionalist makes the charges t hat the journals who have felt con strained to disapprove the course of Governor Brown in his assault upon the Confederate government, are iufiuenced by government patronage. The Charleston Courier expresses our own sentiments when it says: “We regret to see imputations of mercenary motives brought by a Georgia journal against all papers that choose to prefer President Da vis to Gov. Job. E. Brown." “One of the Richmond journals is specical organized as subsidized and bought over be cause it contains Government advertising. Such charges have not been characteristic of the Southern press, and should not be brought without distinct and equivocal proof. An un charitable world mar think that a proneucss to such charges may indicate in those urging them consciousness of liability to such mo tives. There are papers that have no Govern ment advertising, but cordially suppoit and approve generally the course of (he Presi dent.’’ We hope it will not be considered heretical or a proof of mercenary bias if we venture to say decidedly that wo think President Davis, as a man and as an officer, privately and offi cially, at least equal to Governor Brown, and the chances are that, other qualifications be ing at least equal, he knows a lit tie better than Gov. Brown what are the duties and res ponsibilities of the President. ‘•We scorn to retort by imputing any mean motives to some journals whoso excessive ad ulation of Gov Brown might give colorable pretext to such imputations to those who were prone to them. Wo denounce them, and hope never 16 see them become the rule with Southern Editors," — Sav. Ktws. * +. —<•» * From Mexico—Sf reparation for flic \« vv Eutpeiwr. The English mail steamer from Vera Cruz arrived at Havana on the 7th, with news from the Capital of Mexico to the 26th of February. A ~r' r » 'fiwpQn d ent of the the New Times, at Havana, sends that paper the following ex tract from a political review of the 26th ult., published iu the Capitol, with reference to the assumption of the Imperial Crown by Maximill inn : “The news of the near arrival of the Sover eign, communicated by Senor Estrada, Presi dent of the Mexican Deputation, and which was brought by thy English steamers of Jan uary last, and confirmed by the French one of St. Ma/.aire in the middle ot the present month, has given rise to every kind of manifestations of joy, as well iu the capital as in Die princi pal towns of the Department. In all of them there has taken place a Te Deum, at which the Mexican and French authorities were present, illuminations, bands of music, salutes and rejoicing. The Regency have ordered the Imperia) Palace to be repaired and adorned, and the Emperor’s box to be arranged in our grand theatre, and are at present examining the programme of the reception festival which the municipality of Mexico have submitted-to them. Various societies of ladies and gentle-* men are being organized to aid iu tim brillian cy of the lestivals, and the example <?f the capital will not fail to be imitated by other places." i A letter from Jaurez to Doblado, refusing ] to renounce the Presidency, has been publish ; ed, iii which we find the following topics dis : cussed: Doblado had written to him that his with ! draws! would smooth the way for a peace ; j on the contrary, dartre/, considered it a very dangerous course to take, ns it would cover the Liberals with ridicule and introduce an archy, hesrde covering Jaurez himself with ignominy for being a traitor to his honor and duty in thus abandoning, in the time ol dan ger. that post which the nation bad confided |to him. He the more feared this as it was not | certain that the enemy wanted to treat with i -Ortega, whom they styled a fugitive who had broken his parole, or with any other .Mexican who does not previously accept the interven tion. On the other hand,- facts- prove to us that the enemy does not jiropo.se to destroy the jiower of certain individuals, but the Govern ment which the nation has given itself. This is why they ha ve established a monarchy with a foreign Prince, and why Napoleon has de clared “that the Mexican expedition has no preconceived plan except a speedy triumph, now lie says, obtained and therefore he wish es to make sure of the interests of France by bestowing the power on a worthy prince.
