The number was estimated at several thousand.—

recent expedition up Red River, nnd although
no mention is made of the lact in the copy of

was killed in the marauding journey :

and there will he appropriate funeral honors.
The remains will lie in state at the Governor’s

Grand Ecore, 26 miles. Many Loojsiana Fed

Magruder was about 50 mile- from the battle
field on the 9tb, with a force from 16,000 to
20,000 men. Green’s brigade, 3,000, is now
below Grand Ecore. Before the battle Gen.
Taylor was at Shreveport, and received a dis
patch from Gr-n Pricje, that he bad entirely
rooted Steele, taken Little Rock and had sent
his cavalry in pursuit of the flying enemy.”
I have no doubt of its reliability D.

It is said that, of the present proposed
capital of £200,000 ; certain firms of par
ties have put down their names for ones
half, but it is questionable whether any
importance is to be attached to statements
of this nature, seeing that —doubtless
from prudential motives—not a single
name is attached to the “prospectus,” and
that tho “company” abstains even from
stating publicly where its office is.
Atlantic Trading Company ( Limited .)
Capital £200,000, in £IOO share#,
with power of increasing to £500,000
sterling.-—Prospectus.—The Atlantic Tra
ding Company (limited) has been formed
for the purchase of first-class paddle
wheel steamers of light draft, great speed,
and an average capacity of BQO bales of
cotton which form tho basis ot the busi
ness to be transacted. It is intended to
employ the steamers in the Confederate
States, and participating in tho large prof
its attendant on this bnsiness. The prac
tical experience .in the trade enjoyed by
the promoters affords a guarantee of suc
cess, and they are enabled to offer the
additional advantage of trading with
open ports, where a full supply of the
finer descriptions of cotton is obtainable,
foiv which the light draft of the steamers
is peculiarly adapted. Arrangements are
being perfected with C. »T Mcßae, Esq.,
agent of the Confederate States, to carry
in merchandise, and to bring out on the
return voyage full cargoes of wHun in
exchange for supplies or for Confederate
State cotton loan. The first steamer will
be dispatched in April, the second and
third in May, the fourth in Juno, nnd the
' Iff til In July. Tlw» waaels ave in the

‘‘The following sketch of account shows

I may be considered the least favorable
one that should be taken. The line of

Brig. Gen John M. Jones.
The death of this gallant soldier upon
the ensanguined battlefield of Wilderness
Tavern, in Virginia, is a public calamity.
At the breaking out of the war, he was
an officer in a United States infantry regi
ment, having graduated at West Point in
the year 1542. Upon the secession of his
native State, Virginia, he resigned his
commission in the United States service
and entered the servioe of Virginia. He
first served as Adjutant General nnder
Magruder, on the Peninsula, and was
subsequently assigned to duty with Ewell’s
Hi vision, as Inspector General, with tho
rank of Colonel. In that oapacity he
served through the Jackson Valley cam
paign, and also in the battles around
Richmond. He was created a Brigadier
General about a year ago, and bas since,
up to the time of his glorious but untime
ly death, oommanded a brigade in Ear
ly’s Division. Gen. Jones waa about 44
years of age, of handsome person and fine
address, and a soldier of gallant bearing
and unquestioned courage. He was uni
versally loved and respected in the army
of Virginia, and among officers of all
grade*" none stood firmer or performed
more valiant service than the brave sol
dier whose name heads this notice

behind their line of entrenchments, thrown up at
the Intersections of tho road from Germanna to

ing been driven back elsewhere, be mado a great

At 4 o’clock an effort was made to' carry this
point, which was successful, but the force en

Hamilton's Crossing, May 3.—From Nor
tliern papers of tho 30tb, and uther nnd high
er authority, I learn the cause of tho.delay in
the movement of tho army of the Potomac. It
has transpired that when Gen. Grant assumed
command of the United States urmies, he pre
sented to the President that in view of the
magnitude ot the trust confided to him, he
lolt it incumbent upon himself by all the
means in his power, aud ia particuiui he used
the moral support Which the employment of
General nnd F'emont, representing
two great phases of public opinion, would
give; he, therefore, desired permission to as
sign them to duty. This was refused on a
r tufl'm2: pretext, aa respects Fremnut but per
emptory as to Gen. McClellan. Geu. Grant
then proceeded to re-Gigunizo the armies on
another liasia. He thought it best to briug
several Western Generals to his aid, and dis
place many who had served tinder McClellan.
This has not worked eatigfactorily, and Gen.
Grunt i? understood to have admitted, while
satisfied with the.number and material of his
fumy, ho is uneasy respecting the morale.
Ho returned to Washington on Monday, there
fore, with a peremptory demand for the ser
vice- ri Gen. McClellan in tbo forthcoming
campaign, and refuses to move tho army until
his demands are complied with. He is also
very urgent that Gen. Fremont be assigned to
duty These facta are admitted by Lincoln's
adherents

Dr Ain or Cor. Folsom.—A private dispatch
