Yankee finances, says the Savannah Repub
lican, appear to be getting no better fast.
Admiral Porter’s exploits in red River have
carried gold up to a higher figure than it had
reached at any time since the war began, viz :
170. The highest point heretofore attained
wa3 172, in 1862. The entire Yankee concern
is now suspended by a hair, and a victory by
Lee at this time would bring down green
backs to six pence a cart load.
Death op Coe. Clanton. —The Augusta
Chronicle announces the death of Col. Turner
Clanton, who died at his residence in that
city Tuesday night, in the GGth year of his
age. Col. Clanton was born in Virginia, but
he removed to Georgia at a very early age,
where he has ever since remained—so that he
may be said to have always identified himself
with this State and her interests. He lived
for many year3-in Columbia county, and for a
number of terms represented that county in
the State Legislature, with honor to himself
and his constituents. For the last fifteen
years he had made Augusta his home.
Important Intercepted Mis
patclies from Gen Magruder
MEXICO AND THE CONFEDERACY.
[Special Dispatch to the New York World.]
Washington, March 25th, 1854.
The news has been received here this after
noon of the seizure of a batch of letters found
on the person of a rebel, while he was attempt
ing to cross the Rio Grande between Browns
ville and Mataraoras. These letters are said
to contain various dispatebea oi tLo greatest
interest addressed by Gen. Magruder to Jeff.
Davis.
One of these dispatches states that Gen.
W r ni. Preston, formerly Ambassador of the
United States to Spain, had arrived at Hous
ton on the 15t,h February, and that after a
residence of ten days in that city he left for
Mexico, in company of Prince Polignac, who is
now acting as his aid-de-camp and secretary.
The same dispatch informs Jeff. Davi3 that
the best undemanding exists between Gen.
Vadaurri, Governor of New Leon and Tamaiil
ipaa, and the Ttexas rebels, and that an exten
sive contraband trade i3 carried on between
him and Gen. Magruder.
According to the contents of these dispatch
es it is at the suggestions of Gov. Vidaurri
that Jeff. Davis decided to appoint William
Preston as Special Ambassador of the Con
federacy to Mexico. The reason adduced in
justification of that important measure is said
to be a letter of the Governor to Gen. Magru
der, in which the former expresses his belief
in the entire submission of the Mexican peo
ple to the new rigime , and his confidence in the
prompt regeneration of Mexico under the
sway of Prince Maximilian. Gew. Y idaurri
concluded by stating that an alliance between
the new empire and the new republic of North
America would, in his opinion, be beneficial
to both by securing mutually their integrity
against any attempt on the part of the North.
The dispatches further sjate that the Fede
ral troops in Texeas do not amount to 10,000
men, including Mexicans and negroes. These
troops are located at Inuianola, Ducroc's
Point, Arkansas Pass hnd Brownsville. Oc
casionally the boats on the Rio Grande shell
the rebel posts at Coundy and Evalasco, but
no d a mage h as been done to them as they
pretend, save the killing cf one mule and the
! wounding of three.
From Charleston.— The Courier of Wed
nesday says :
A 3alute of thirteen guns was fired by Fort
Sumter at 12 if Wednesday, in honor of the
third anniversary of the first Confederate vic
tory in the surrender of that Fortress by Col.
Robert Anderson.
Salutes were also fired from Fort Moultrie
and Battery Bee, and the batteries on James’
Island.
Vbout twenty shells were fired at the city.
j. P. Huger, of the Signal Corps, on service
at Sumter, was instantly killed about half
past eleven A. if., Wednesday, by a Parrot
shell fired from Battery Gregg.
A large rive? steamer came inside the bar
and took position alongside the other vessels
of the fleet.
The Wabosh returned to the harbor and
took her usual position as bloekader.
Lamentable Occurence—Two
Children Shot.
In the Mayor’s Court yesterday, a small
boy named William Craven, said to be not
more than eight years of age, was brought
up charged with shooting a white child
named Alice Cullen, aged three years, and
a negro girl, named \ irgioia, about 12
years of age, the property of Mr. 5. G.
Watts. It appears that Mr. Wm. R Cra
ven, the uncle oi William, had left a
loaded gun in hit fcouse, which the lad
got possession
threatened to shoot someone. Between
seven and eight o’clock on TV ednesday
night, he aimed the gun at the above
named children, and discharged it. The
gun was loaded with large turkey shot,
and the contents took effect in the head
of Alice,.causing her death in about ten
minutes. Virginia, the colored girl, was
shot in the side and died (m Thursday
morning about three o’clock. The occur
rence took place in Robertsville, aifd Po
lice officer Byrne being in that ward in|-
$3.50 Per Month.
mediately entered the house, and found
young Craven, under a bed in a room, and
took him in charge. The Coroner washold
ing an inquest on the bodies this (Thurs
day) morning. The Mayor gave the young
lad in charge of the police until the ver
dict of the coroner’s inquest shall have
been rendered. He remarked to theVel
ativea of the boy that this was another oc
currence of great criminal carelessness,
and that the parent was not free from
fault who placed loaded weapons in such
portions that they could easily be taken
by children. In this instance through
the carelessness of those who had this boy
in charge two human lives had been sac
rificed.
Since the above was in type the coron
er’s jury have returned verdftts in both
cases (hat the deceased came to their
deaths by gunshot wounds inflicted by
William Irwin Craven, and that he is guil
ty of murder. The boy is only between
eight and nine years of age.— Sav. A T eics,

The Way Elections Jlre to be
Conducted in Maryland.
Governor Bradford of Maryland, has written
a letter to Gen. Lew Wallace, the Military
Governor, in which he expresses the opinion
that at the election the judges of election
should not be contented with a mere general
denial on the part of voters of sympathy with
the rebellion, but should require responses to
particular interrogatories. The following is
a list of the “particular interrogatories” which
have been adopted, and for refusing to apply
them a judge of election is liable to “a fine of
SSOO and imprisonment.”
1. Service in the Rebel Army.
Have you ever served in the rebel army ?
2. Aid to those in Armed Rebellion.
Have you ever given aid to the rebellion?
Have you never given money to those intend
ing to join the rebellion ? -
Have you never given money to their agents?
Have you never given money, clothing, or
provisions for the purpose of aiding the emi
gration of persons from this State to the
South ?
Have you never sent money, clothing, or
provisions to persons in the South since the
rebellion ?
3. Comfort and Encouragement to the Re
bellion.
Note. —Comfort or encouragement means
advocacy, advice in favor of. We aid the Re
bellion by giving nff&ney, clothing and provi
sions ; we give it comfort or encouragement by
our words. A man who has advocated
the cause of the rebellion, who talked in favor
of Maryland going with the South, w r ho re
joiced over the victories of the rebel army, has
given comfort and encouragement to the re
bellion.
Have you ever given comfort or encourage
ment to the rebellion?
Have you never, in conversation, attempted
to justify the course of the States in rebellion?
Have you never expressed a wish for the
success jof the. rebellion or its army?
Have you never, in conven»Go n , discour
aged the cause of the Federal Government?
Did you rejoice over the downfall of Fort
Sumter ?
4. Disloyalty.
Note. —ls the Judges are satisfied that a
man is disloyal to the United States, it is
their duty to refuse his vote, for such person
is not a “legal voter” of the State of Mary
land.
Are you a loyal citizen .of the United States?
Have you been loyal ever since the begin
ning of the rebellion?
Have ,vou never rejoiced over the defeat of
the Union army ?
Have you never rejoiced over the success of
the rebel army?
When the Union army and the rebel army
meet in battle, which do you wish to gain the
victory?
Note. —After interrogating the person offer
ing to vote, the Judges may hear other evi
dence to prove or disprove his statements, and.
must be governed by the weight of testimony.
Miscellaneous Yankee Items.
The steamer City of Petersburg, from Wil
mington N. C., arrived at St. George, Bermu

quette and Index had arrived at Wilmington.
In the U. S. Congress the House Committee
on Military Affairs have matured a bill called
for by the War Department, consolidating all
the old regiments of artillery into Corps, to be
commanded by a Major General, and who is
also to command all the artillery forces of the
United States. General Grant is understood
to favor this plan.
In the House of Representatives, on tbe 4tb
inst,, the committee on foreign affairs reported
a joint resolution declaring that “the on
gress of the United States is willing by silence
to leave the nations of the world under the
impression that they are indifferent specta
tors of the deplorable events now transpiring
in the republic of Mexico; therefore they
think it fit to declare that it does not accord
with thepeople of the United States to acknowl
edge a monarchical government erected on
the ruins of any republican government in
America , under the auspices of any European
Power.” This was adopted unanimously—
one hundred and nine members voting.
It is reported from Washington that the
English Solicitor-General has rendered a de
cision that the Alabama and other rebel ves
sels are not of the clas3 denominated Briiish
vessels; nor have they English crews; but on
the contrary are Confederate vessels with
Confederate commissions. He insists, as snch
that they are the property of recongnized bel

Gen. Price. —The Memphis Bulliten pub
lishes an order of Maj. Gen. Price, in which
he assumes command oi the Department of
Arkansas. We learn that the news of Gen.
Price being in command of Arkansas was re
ceived with enthusiastic demonstrations by
the Missourians at Demopoiis. The whole
camp sent up a tremenduous and a long con
tiuued shout, and the boys then hauled out
the big guns ami made the welkin ring with
the thunders of artillery. It is understood
that they have signed a unanimous petition to
the War Department to be seat over the river.
The Exchange Question —We find
the following in a Washington telegram
relative to the exchange question:
. It is understood that Gen. Butler has
arranged a basis oi'exchange with Com
missioner Ould, whereby all our prisoners
will be exchanged. The agreement how
ever, remains to be sanctioned by the
Richmond and Washington authorities?
It is known that the rebels are exceeding
ly anxious to secure their prisoners, who
have fatened in their comfortable quarters
for the spring campaign.
V Col. Quid in an interview With t* eu -
Butler at Fortress Monroe yesterday, sent
rtssurracces to Admiral Danlgren that the
next boat would bring down the body of
hia son.

A Northern Opinion of Nigger
1 ROoPs.—An Abolition sheet having re
marked that Lincoln had something over
fifty thonsand colored troops in the field
fighting the betrayers of our land—-the
Chicago Tribune' comments thus on the
statement:
In what “field” are these gallant thou
sands “fighting the betrayers of our land?”
At Chattanooga and Chickamauga, at
Knoxville, at Vicksburg, on the battle
plains of Virginia, at Gettysburg, is this
“field” to be found?—Gen Wilde lately
went down into North Carolina, where
the people are most loyal, aod, at the
head of a body of negro troops, burned
plundered and ravaged, without fear of
aught, worse than the curses of the feeble
women whose homes they desolated Is
this the “field” refered to, or was it loca
ted at Millikeus Bend, where the oppor
tune arrival of an lowa regiment only
saved the negro garrison from dying from
exhaustion induced by the frantic race
tfiey were making for life and the will to
get awayfrosi rebel bayonets?
Is this the “field” at Fort Jackson,
where the dusky recruits illustrated their
new found libetry by the messacre of their
officers? or was it Port Hudson,where, at
best, we have contradictory evidence
as to the gallantry of the negroes.
We want information. We want to
know where tbat “field” is where those
gallant 50,000 are fighting the betrayers
of our laud.
A Puzzler. “ Talking of corundrums,”
said Old Hurricane, stretching himself all over
Social Hall, and sending out one of those
mighty puffs of Havana smoke which had giv
en him hia name. “Can any of you tell me
when a ship may be said to 6e in
“I can ! I
tle. “ It’s when she wants to be manned.”
“Just missed, it,” quothed old Hurricane,
“by a mile. Try again. Who speaks first.”
“1 do,” secondly answered Lemons. “It’s
when she wants a mate.”
“Not correct,” replies Hurricane. “The
question is still open.”
she’s a ship of great size,” (sighs)
modestly propounded Mr. Smoothly.
“When she’s a tender to a an of war,”
said the Colonel, regarding the' reflection of
his face in his boot.
“Everything but correct,” responded Hur
ricane.
“When she’s struck back by a heavy swell,”
suggested Starlight..
“ None as yet,” said Hurricane, “Come,
hurry up.”
“ *Vhen she makes much of a fast sailor,”
cried iSmashpipes.
Here was a great groan, and Smashpipes
was thrown out of the window. When peace
restored, Old Hurricane “propelled” again.
“You might have said, ‘When she hugs the
wind,’ or ‘when she runs down after a smack,’
or, ‘when she’s after a consort,’ or something
of the sort. But it wouldn’t have been right.
The real solution is—when she is att&ohed to
buoy."—Punch.
From Pensacola. —We learn, says the Mo
bile Tribune of (he J4tb, from a gentleman
who has just returned from Pensacola, that
there were thirty vessels in the bay there.—
He also reports that during the recent attack
on Fort, Powell, three of the enemy’s vessels
were very Beriously disabled, and are now un
dergoing repairs at Pensacola. It would
seem from (his, that Farragut is busily en
gaged in preparing another on to Mobile.
Confederate Sugar.
A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph gives
the following process for making “Confederate su
gar.” As there is likely to be a great quantity ot
sj 7 rup made from the Chinese sugar cane this
year, the mode of converting it into sugar is wor
thy of being known:
Tho process is simple and easy, and plain. In
the first place, theeaße must not only bo ripe, but
fully ripe—and the best tost of its ripeness is
the hardness and brittleness of its seed, never
being governed by its general appoarance. It is
my opinion tbat the prime cause of thin, dark,
sour syrup, is owing to the greenness pi the cane
from which it is made.
The cane being fully ripe, it is ground an 1 the
juice boiled in the usual way. After it is put on
to boil some alkali should be added, either lye,
soda or lime water, yet I know no special-.quanti
ty to be added. Itmakes very well to add a haif
piutoflime water occasionally for three or four
times for a kettle sixty *r eighty gallons, until the
scum ceases to rise on the top, which should be
removed with a strainer as fast as it rises. All
the alkali, of whatever kind, can bo added at
once if you choose to do so. The fire should never
be too hot for the first half hour to enable you to
skim weli After that it can be boiled rapidly if
you choose until it is ready to take off, which
should n<4 be too* soon, as thick syrup is much to
to be preferred, provided you wish to make sugar
of it. When it has reached the stage of thick
syrup very little more boiling will convert it into
sugar, which will granulate as soon as it cools.—
By holing a little once or twice and experimenting
for sugar, you will always know at what stage to
remove it from the kettle better than I can tell you
though I did not make a single failure. After re
moving it iroin the kettle, place it in som6 vessel
a short while until some of its heat has left it, and
then pour it into your barrels with the hoops a
little loose in order that the molasses may drip
from it, of which there will not be as as
many might suppose. Do not stir it after remov
ing it from the kettle as is the custom, or the
grains will be small and fine.
Ttae Situation.
The New York Herald of the sth inst. has
the follow iug :
Geu. Grant left Fortress Monroe on Sunday
morning, on the steamer City of Albany, and
arrived in Washington yesterday, where he
was actively engaged in tin- War Department,
preparing tor his future movements. He goes
to the front to-day.
Seven days continuous rain ha3 left the
camps and roads iu Virginia in a frightful
condition. It will take four weeks of sunshine
to enable our troops to move. The .Spring
campaign will thus be thrown into the Sum
mer. Some dissatisfaction is said to exist in
the Potomac army among the officers of the
extinguished corps. A few of them were p; t
under arrest, and this checked the insubordi
nation. '' >
