H ARRI3ON.:BEDELL & CO. Reference—Maj. F. W. Dillard. Mobile Register, Mississippian and Augusta Con stitutionalist, please copy cue month and send bills to this office, mar 30 ts Saturday Evening. We thought, in reading our telegrams this morning, that the account from Plymouth, N. C., was a continuation of a previous account, and searched for the lost “star.” We found it in the Augusta papers under the heading of the press dispatches and could not account for its absence in ether journals: A Glorious Victory. —By reference to our telegraphic column, says the Augusta Consti tutionalist, it will be seen that the work so gloriously begun in the West, by Gen. Forrest, is being nobly followed up in North Carolina, by Gen. Hoke. The spring campaign opens brightly. Let it give good cheer to our hearts, inspire new courage in our soldiers, and awaken general confidence in the country. By preserving an equanimity of spirit, which will Dot permit us to despise our enemy and underestimate his strength, and a hopeful confidence, springing from our recent suc cesses in Florida, and at Fort Pillow, and this last glorious achievement at Plymouth, N. C., we will inaugurate the coming campaign with assurances of substantial and decisive victory. am • ■ m i Insanity. —The New Orleans Times says that medical men have remarked, within the past twelve months, an alarming increase of insanity among the resident population of that city. Besides the cases which come to their knowledge in private practice, scarcely a day passes that persons arc not brought before the Recorder’s Courts charged with being insane * East Tennesssee. —From our Virginia and East Tennessee contemporaries, says the Memphis Appeal, we derive information as to the situation of affairs in East Tennessee. There is no doubt but that the greater part of the Federal strength so long about Knoxville has been withdrawn, and probably sent to swell the army on the Tennessee. A correspondent of the Bristol Gazette, writing from Kingsport, April 12th, says i “Two brigades of the enemy are at Mossy creek—one regiment at Strawberry Plains—two small brigades at Bull’s Gap. No force in East Tennessee but the 23d army corps. Their cavalry have gone to Cleve land, Tenn.” The Gazette, of the 14th inst., says that cars under a flag of truce, have been running for some days past as low as Greenville, Tenn. They bring up citizens who refuse to take the Yankee oath— and take down all who are hungering and thirst ing for it. A correspondent of the same journal reports that Mr. Keeler’s daughters and a Miss Guffey, were shot dead by some renegades who were endeavor ing to rob their house. What next ? Os the strength and positions occupied by the enemy, tlie correspondent of the Charlottesville Chronicle makes substantially tlie same report as the above. Mentioning the return of some scouts, he says: They crossed the river near Rogersville and passed the enemy’s encampment, and* thence to Russellville; this point they gained at daybreak, and rode boldly throngh the town. Some touts were stretched, which were occupied by post offi cers. Two miles below they ran into Lheir en campmeut, but, having coolness and caution, they passed on unnoticed, -Thence to Morristown they went. There they only found two of the enemy on duty guarding some officers’ trunks—also a tel egraph office. They found the enemy’s force at .Bull’s Gap to be just 3030, with 340 cavalry. One regiment at Mossy creek, three at Newmarket, at which place Schofield lias headquarters. Only one regiment at Strawberry Plains, and about two thousand more at Knoxville —they are mostly ne groes. No enemy in any other portion of the country. Every opportunity has been offered the commanders of troops in thi3 department to have long since annihilated the enemy's forces. But the quaint and common reply is over given to all men who feel an interest in their country, and who wish to engage the enemy at every opportunity, that “he commanding, does not doem it ex pedient for you to ipove against the enemy just now.” That is all (bat is said. Thus wo work along. We hope for better times but the prospect is slim for the consummation of such a hope so long as such inefficient men command our armies. ■— % Fboji East Tennessee. —By a late arrival we have some items of personal and general interest from East Tennessee. The families of Dr. Frank Ramsey, Dr. C. W. Crozier, Dr. Strong, and other Confederate citizens of Knoxville, have come out under a flag of truce] and reached Bristol. Miss Sue Ramsey, youngest daughter of Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, would not take the oath, when a guard was sent after her into the country, and she required to come out. Sheis also at Bris tol. The rest of Dr. R.’s family, since the burning of his house at Mecklenburg, in Sep tember last, have been living with his son-in law at. Lenoir’s station. These have also been ordered out, and are expected to leave via Chattanooga and Dalton. Gen. Longstreet, with his old command, has made a late move of importance, of which pru dence forbids us speak. He will turn up in the right place, and at the proper time. Gen. Buckner is in command at Bristol. The en emy is in small force at Morristown. The greater part of the Federals that were in and around Knoxville, have moved down to Cleveland. Near the latter place a few days since, a torpedo that had been placed under the railroad exploded, killing the engineer, fireman and fifteen soldiers. A similar acci dent (?) occurred on the river, blowing up the steamer Tennessee, which had a large number of Yankees aboard. The question of forming a separate State Government in East Tennessee is being agita ted, and since the abandonment of the country by Longstreet, the propposition is favorably re ceived by the discontents.— Appeal. From Virginia. —The Richmond papers says that Grant’s armj', notwithstanding all the bluster made about it, is smaller than the army at Chancellorsville under Hooker a year ago. An officer from the front, states that Grant’s army does not number over 60,000 men. The Federal force in the lower valley of Virginia, seem to have been somewhat reduced of late, aud they have drawn their pickets several miles nearer the border. They, how ever, appear to be guarding the Baltimore and Ohio railroad with considerable vigi lance. A gentleman direct from Annapolis, Md., thinks Burnside’s force assembled there, will amount to about thirty thousand men. It i3 thought that their destination will be James River. A gentleman just from the North, thinks Meade will advance on Petersburg. He says lare numbers of troops have passed through j Baltimore. He also states our friends in Ma ryland, are confident of Confederate success, in the coming campaign. A slight skirmish occurred at. Winchester j April 8. The Confederates were victors. Gen. Holmes of the Trans-Mississippi De- j partmeai is in Richmond, $3.50 Per Month. Th« Volcxtkkb Navy.—By a notice in the advertising columns of this paper it appears that the books of subscription to the stock of the Virginia Volunteer Navy.will be closed, under the regulations of the charter of the company, on the 16th inst. The time left for receiving subscriptions is, therefore, very brief. The company has, from what we learn, a bright prospect. It has already one fine ship ready completed and officered to sail out upon the seas in quest of game. Another will follow as soon as possible. In no way, as we have remarked before when alluding to this subject, can our people injure and annoy the Yankees so much as by obstructing tbeir commerce upon the seas.— The capturing of their rich argosies is in supportably distressing to them; and the dri ving them measurably from the water, and compelling them to employ the vessels of for eign nations to convey their freights from port to port, while their own ships are rotting at their whatves, is hardly less so. There fore, this means of warring upon our ruthless enemy should be a favorite one with us, and every effort should |be made by eur people to conduct it with energy and effect. In addi tion, however, to that motive of patriotism which should excite these efforts, there is the strong stimulant of pecuniary gain. Asa pe cuniary enterprise, the adventure of the vol unteer navy is likely to prove exceedingly profitable. Os course, there is peril, but the chances are greatly in favor of it. It is not improbable that, after the closing of the books on the 16th, the stock will not be again sold as low as the par value. With their fast ves sels, competent officers, and brave crews, the Yankee commerce will be soon laid under hea vy tribute. These vessels will do a better business than blockade runners, who, after escaping their own perils, can only bring into our ports what they have bought and paid for The volunteer navy supplies its treasury from the capture of the enemy’s property, paying nothing for them. It is not hard to see that this kind of transaction will soon reimburse the stockholders all their outlay, and i-apidly pour in rich profits upon their investment.— The prospect is most inviting both to patriots and speculators. There are, indeed, perils for the enterprize, but they in no wise compare with the chances of success, w r hich are every way bright and tempting. [Richmond Dispatch. A Great Comet Predicted. —The following, says an English paper, is an extract from a letter just received from Melbourne : Professor Newmager, on a three years’ scientific visit from Bavaria, tells us that in 1865 a comet shall come so close as to endanger this our earth ; and should it not attach itself (as one globule of quicksilver to another) nor annihilate us, the sight will be be most beautiful to behold. During three nights we shall have no darkness, but be bathed in he brilliant light of the blazing train. It will startle the “dry bones” of the old fossill placemen who shape British policy towards intervention in every quar rel between Savages, and Pagans, and Turks, and Africans, and Asiatics, but neutrality as to the American question to learn that in the Yankee House of Representatives the recognition of the South has been proclaimed as proper, and the members so offending against the high code of Yankeedom have not been expelled- Another speech from our cheif orator Lee, or that eloquent logician Johnson, or some Georgia stump Bpcakcr of the Colquitt stripe, will make many converts to the doctrine of recognition . and induce Seward to ask an indefinite extension on that little note of ninety days which has passed over several renewals without even the interest. [ Courier. Siege or Charleston —Two Hun dred and Eighty-eighth Day. —Affairs continue comparitively quiet. Fonr shells were fired at the city Wednesdey morn ing, and eight at Foit Sumpter Tuesday night. All the tents have disappeared from Black Island, and it is believed that the troops have been sent to some other department. The Yankees were engaged during the day hauling amunition to Battery Gregg and also at work upon the “Swamp An gel." The fleet remains about as usual. [ Courier. — The Yankee Army or the Poto mac.—Notwithstanding the bluster of the Yankee journals about the extensive preparations for the capture of Richmond, there can be no doubt that the army under Grant, on the Rapahannock, is much weaker numerically than that which was overwhelmed under Hooker a year ago at Chancellorsville. An officer who came down on the Central train last night informs us that our scouts report that the statament of heavy reinforcement to Grant are greatly exagerated, and the enemy’s army, with all the reinforce ments received up to this time, does not exceed 60,000. It is stated, however, that Grant is making preparations for an advance. (. Rich.

Os the fifty cent notes there were issued up to the same period—first of April—eight hundred and eight thousand nine hundred dollars. The amount funded since the formation of the Government, up to April Ist, 1864, in six, seven and eight per cent bonds, was twenty-seven millions. The amount funded in four per cent certificates in Richmond, up to April Ist, was twenty millions, as follows: At the treasury, nine millions ;at Lancaster & Co.’s, four millions; at Maury’s four mil lions; at Bank of the Commonwealth, three millions.— Constitutionalist. i The Rome Courier state3 states that there is yet a prospect of a very fair fruit crop in that section. j Nearly half the peach trees have a plenty of live j gems an them yet.

Two gunboats were sunk, another dis abled, and one small steamer captured. Our loss about three hundred in all. Col. Mercer is among the killed. Richmond, April 21. —A fleet of gunboats appeared yesterday on the Rappahannock riv er twelve miles below the Rappahannock. A dredging apparatus was sent in advance to search for torpedoes. Mosby made another raid on Saturday, on Fairfax Station, capturing a train. He burned twenty wagons and carried off the horses. Richmond, April 21.— The New York Hearld of the 18th has been received, but contains nothing of importance from the army of the Potomac. All traces of the recent storm have passed, away. The weather is bright and beautiful. Despatches from Chattauoogn. sav: All is quiet. Deserters from the army state that Hardee's corps is going to Virginia. fwo men were killed and seven wounded by the receqt explosion of the torpedo under the Minnesota, among the former, Lieut. Wil der, executive officer, killed. Cairo, April lY. —Forrest abandoned Fort Pillow, leaving it a perfect wreck. The main body of Forrest’s forces left the fort on Friday moruing, going North. Forrest’s headquarters arc believed to be at Jackson. The officers at Memphis, are greatly exor cised at the Port Pillow massacree. Soldiers threaten to show Forrest's men no quarter hereafter. W irt Adams drove the Yankees from the Big Black, a week ago and took many prison ers. The steamer Golden Gate was taken pos session of on the night of the 12th, I*s miles above Memphis, by guerillas. They robbed the boat, passengers and crew, of everything. Duvall’s Blufl section of the country is over run with guerillis. AJI boats that approach are fired into. On the 11 tli four hundred Texas cavalry at tacked a camp of Unionists on Arkansas river, but were repulsed. Mr. Nickson, the State Representative from Franklin, Arkansas, has been killed, and the Representative from Arkansas county, has been kid-napped. The gunboat Clieringer exploded in the Brooklyn Navy \ ard last Friday. The boatis a total loss. Thirty-five persons were injured, twenty of whom are dead. The past weel?has been oae of extraordinary excitement in New York, in financial circles. The sales of gold Saturday were fifty-three . thousand dollars, at 173 to 1735. The Herald says that the time for the great closing crisis has not yet arrived. Until it does let us be as calm as po33ible, and pre pare our nerves for the crash, that these small events merely foreshadow. Dalton, April 23.—Northern dates to the 21st have been received. New Orleans papers of the 16th say that Ranks' headquarters are at Natchitoches. The rebels are burning all cotton on Ouachita river. * In a skirmish with rebel cavalry near Shreve port we had some wounded. Another slight skirmish occurred near Natch itoches Wednesday without results. Chicago Journal of the 20th says that the day after the disaster to the 13th Corps, General Cox engaged and defeated the enemy capturing 2000 prisoners and 20 cannon. Dispatches of the 20th from Cairo say that guer rillas along the river declare that they will not allow Northern men to work abandoned planta tions. They recently made a raid on a plantation in Tensas Parish, La., capturing a large number of negroes, killing a Mr. Mattoon after making him dig his own grave.

Yankee Cotton Operations in the West.— A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat, writing from Natchez, Miss.,March 20, says: In Concordia and Tensas parishes, in Louisiana, the rebels have recently caused much trouble.— Nearly all the government plantations in that lo cality have received visits from marauding parties to such an extent that labor upon them has been almost entirely suspended. The first attempt to break up the scheme for the production of cotton was made more than a month ago, by the forces under Gen. Polignac. At that time they came np nearly to the bank of the river, and within full view of Natchez. Every plantation that they vis ited was stripped of mules and horses necessary for carrying on the work. Since that time the sain* depredations have been carried on by small bands of the enemy detached for that purpose. Several lessees have been captured but in no ease have they been taken to any distance. They have been robbed of all valuables, and m some instances stripped of coats, hats and boots.— In one instance a lessee was robbed o l everything except bis drawers and shirt, and left to make hi* way to town, twenty miles distant, on foot. The rebels say they have received positive orders to break up all the plantations where there Is an at tempt at the production of eotton.
