Jayhawkers in Louisiana. —A correspondent
of the Mobile Register says a terrible gang of
these outlaws has been rendezvousing in compara
tive security amid tho jungles of Honey Island, a
swamp island somewhere near the mouth of Pearl
river—and issuing forth on regular Camanche
raids of outrage and robbory. Among their re
cent victims was an old widow lady, living un
protected in the oountry, with some thousands of
dollars in gold hidden away for a rainy day.—
Their threats not torrifying her sufficiently, they
took her out to a tree, put a repe round her neck,
and were about to swing her up, as she thought,
when she told them where the gold was, and they
got it and left. Since then Capt. Aaronstein’a
mounted company, stationed at Franklinton, have
been paying them a visit. Landing en the island,
they surprised a portion of the banditti, killed one,
and brought off eleven prisoners, with horses,
mules, guns, etc. The island will be visited
again as soon as the adequate force can be spared.
[From the Mobile News & Register.]
Arming Negroes.
xY year ago we called attention in these
columua to the reserve power es resistance to
our enemies residing in the slave population
of the South. We advocated then, as a last
resort, and one to be used without hesitation,
the arming of the negroes whenever it became
necessary to secure our independence. The
question is revived and is attracting
more than usual attention. It is well that
the public mind, as well as the policy of the
Government, should be settled on the ques
tion, against the time when \Ve shall have to
call on this means of defence. We do not
think the time has yet come. For this cam
paign it would be too late, even if it were
needful, and for the next—and whe knows if
we are to have another?—there is time to act
after the present campaign is finished. On
this subject we copy the following remarks
from the Richmond Enquirer, and for Alabama
we are prepared to say, as the Virginia editor
does for his own State, “Virginia, after ex
hausting her whites, will fight her blacks
through 'to the last man. She will be free at
all costs.” Says the Enquirer:
The question of making soldiers of negroes,
of regularly enlisting them and fighting.them
for their safety as well as our own, must have
presented itself to every reflecting mind. Be
cause the Yankees have not been able to make
soldiers out of their drafted negroes, it does
not follow that we cannot train our slaves to
make very efficient soldiers. We believe that
they can be, by drill and discipline, moulded
into steady and reliable soldiers. The pro
priety of employing negroes as soldiers, we
shall not at present discuss ; but whenever the
subjugation of Virginia and the employment
of her slaves as soldiers are alternative prop
ositions then certainly we are for making
them soldiers and giving freedom to those ne
groes that escape the casualties of battle.
We should be glad to see the Confederate
Congress provide for the purchase of two hun
dred and fifty thousand negroes, present them
with their freedom and the privilege of re
maining in the State, and arm, equip, drill,
and fight them. We believe that the negroes,
identified with us by interest, and fighting
for their freedom here, would be faithful and
reliable soldiers, and, under officers who
would drill them, could be depended on for
much of the ordinary service, and even for the
hardest fighting. It is not necessary nowtodis
cuss this matter, and may never become so,
but neither negroes nor slavery will be per
mitted to stand in the way of the success of
our cause. This war is for national indepen
dence on our side, and for the subjugation of
the whites and the emancipation of negroes
on the side ©fthe enemy. If we fail, the ne
groes are nominally free, and their masters
’really slaves. We must, therefore, succeed.
Other States may decide for themselves, but
Virginia, after exhausting her whites, will fight
her blacks through to the last man. She will
be free at all cost.

Mississippians. at Altoona.— From Mr.
Isaiah Smith, of company D, 46th Mississippi
who was slightly wounded in the bloody
charge of General French’s division on the 1
Yankee fortifications, we learn the following i
particulars:
Among the killed, was Colonel Wm. H.
Clarke, commanding regiment, and John Price,
of company D.
Wm. Floyd mortally wounded and left on
the field.
J. W. Divers, severely in foot.
A. C. Cooper, slightly in arm.
I. H, Smith, slightly in neck.
In the 39th Mississippi, Major Durr com
manding the regiment, Serg’t Joseph D. Berry, ;
company G, and Joshua Williams, Jacob Nee- j
ly, Estes Steen and Wm. Redfearn, of compa
ny I, together with nearly half the regiment,
were captured. Rob’t Whitaker and Albert
Lawson, company I, were killed.
Mr. Smith states that nearly half the men |
belonging to these two regiment* were either
killed or captured. He says the fight lasted
about three hours and a half, and waa one es
the most bloody on record, the entire division
losing most terribly. —Daily Mississippian.

FROM PETERSBURG.
The enemy opened a heavy mortar fire on
our left in front of Petersburg, Tuesday night,
which w»b followed by a brisk cannonade, in
; which both sides participated. Between nine
and ten o’clock a heavy musketry fire broke
out on our extreme right, but subsided in a
few minutes. A cannonade ensued on that
part of the line and continued for nearly an
hour. The cause of this appears to have been
a suspicious movement by the enemy towards
our flank, which was discovered and opened
upon opportunely. Yesterday affairs were
unchanged, and but rerv little firing occurred
on either side.
FROM THR VALLKY.
On Monday last General Rosser, with his
own and Lomax’s brigades, assaulted the ene
my’s rear guard beyond New Market, and
drove thtm some distance, killing and captur
ing a number. During the pursuit, it was
necessary for Lomax to separate from Rosser
and move forward by a nearly parallel road.
It aappears that the enemy were prepared for
this movement. A column estimated at nine
thousand strong was suddenly precipitated
upon Lomax, who was compelled to fallback,
abandoning tour pieces of artillery and losing
about . one hundred men. Rosser was, of
course, compelled to fall back also, which he
did without loss.
WHAT IS IT?
There was some news at the War Depart
ment, on yesterday, which “would make the
public heart thrill with joy”—according to
popular report. That such splendid news is
withheld, appears remarkable, for, if ever
the public heart needed “thrilling with joy,”
it is just at this particular juncture. But these
vague hints of something marvellous are not
altogether new to the people. They have
heard them before, emanating directly, too,
from the best sort of Confederate authority,
and it has happened, unfortunately, that they
never did come out much. There was a fine,
mysterious face put upon them all, too, which
subsided into a beautiful blank at the denoue
ment. It is highly probable the public heart
can do without any more such pleasant stim
ulants, and if they can’t let us know what the
thrilling news is, we reckon the authorities
might as well keep the whole secret to them
selves.

The following is an extract from a private
letter :
“The enemy commenced to fall back from
Bridgewater and other places on the line, on
the 3d, destroying everything in their course
—mills, barus, stacks, growing crops, &c. The
iron works of Lewis tj 1 Blackburn, in Rock
ingham, were entirely destroyed. The She
nandoah works of Messrs. Forren & Cash, in
xlugusta, are believed to be safe.”
Massachusbtts Slave and Slaughter Com
pany.—The New York Daily News contains
the following interesting expose ;
We have before us a printed circular in
French and Flemish, designed for distribution
by Federal agents in Belgium. It is us fol
lows :
To ALL THOSE WILLING TO RESIDE IN THE
United Status of xYmerica.— Wanted siugle
men from twenty-one to forty years, to emi
grate to the United States. Conditions : The
engagement is contracted for three years, to
date from the day they arrive in the United
States. Traveling expenses and food from the
place ©f residence in Europe to the place of
destination furnished gratis to emigrants.—-
On their arrival in the United States they re
ceive a bonus of one hundred dollars, equiva
lent to five hundred francs, their monthly sal
ary twelve dollars, equivalent to sixty francs
and besides they will be fed, clothed and
lodged during three years. For further in
formation address Louis A. Dochez, Emigra
tion Bureau, No. 2 Rue de Brabant, Brussels.
We will let some es the victims of this ins
famous traffic tell their own tale, in the fol
lowing letter to the editor of tho Courrier des
Etats Unis
New York, Sept. 20, 1864.
To the Editor of the Courrier des Etats Unis :
At the solicitation of a certain Leuis Dochez,
emigrant agent for the Uaitcd States in Bru3-
sele, who acts by authority «f Federal Con?uls,
we embarked on board the ship Peter God
frey, for Boston. We enclose you the pros
pectus in French and Flemish, which was
handed to us, aud which contains the false
promiee under which we embarked. Not a
single one of these promises has been fulfilled.
On board we have been treated like dogs.—.
They made us sell our clothing in Belgium,
under pretext that they would give us other
clothing: but they have done nothing of the
sort. Several among us arrived in Boston
literally naked. They only gave us one meal
per day—and such food !
In Boston they gave u* first a shirt, then
they wanted us to sign a paper written in En
glish. Fortunately, several emigrant victims
who had preceded us, had written upon the
walls in French and Flemish,, the words,
“ Don’t Sign. ” Hundreds of us, however,
fearing the worst, resigned themselves to their
fate, and signed. Immediately the police took
them along and they were soldiers. Others,
among whom we are, refused to obey, as we
came here to work, and not to fight. At last
we .succeeded in being transported to New
and after giving us seven dollars, tbey
left us to our fate in this, to us, strange city.
We should like these facts to be made pub- j
lie, so as to prevent our countrymen from {
falling into the trap which has been set for
them. Unfortunately, it is too late for those
who are already on the route to this country
in several other vessels.

Pennsylvania, dated the 4th instant, shows that
the place of enrolling officer in Pennsylvania is
not a bomb-proof:
Private Leander K. Dease, of Captain Strend’i
cavalry, es Philadelphia, was shot through the
head with a ball, and in several parts of the body
with back-shot, and instantly killed, near the house
of Jacob Miller, in Price township, Monroe coun
ty, Pennsylvania, yesterday. A squad of men,
he being ene of them, had gone out as a guard te
the person who was to serve notices upen the
drafted men of that township, and while riding
along the road, they were fired upon from the
bushes, with the result above named. Miller, and
a man named Sccoe, were arrested by the com
rades of the deceased and brought to Stroudsburg
last evening, and were taken te Philadelphia to
day. Dease was a highly respectable young man,
and a resident es Philadelphia.
Thirteen bales es cotton, contributed by the cit

amount, $4,119,47, sent to the Rev. C. K. Mar

The Yankees have at last heard from Burbridge.
It is about the mildest description of a bloody re
pnlso wc have ever seen. The telegram is dated at
Cincinnati on the 9th inst:
General Burbridge, with two thousand five hun
dred mounted infamry, attacked Saltville, in South
western Virginia, where some extensive salt works
are located, and carried two redoubts, capturing ouo
hundred and fifty prisoners, besides a largo number
of horses, mules, cattle, «ko. Our loss was small.—
Col. Mason, of the 11th Michigan, was killed, and
Col. Hanson, acting brigadier general, was wounded.
I’ inding the place strongly tortitied and defended
by a large force uader Breckinridge and Echols,
Gen. Burbridge withdrew during the night, leaving
his wounded. Tho rebels pursued about eight mile-.
Gen. Burbridge passed through Covington this
afternoon, on the way to Lexington.
It has been remarkod by some writer, who
seems te have peered into the darkness that cu
wraps all human hopes and expectations, that
“ coming events cast their shadows before them. ”
Wo believe ourselves that our spirits are barome
ters, and that they nre light and heavy, by turns,
as our fortune fluctuates in the tide of revolution.
There is a suble media through which we arc im
pressed, amounting to a sort of prescience. No
one can notice the bueyaut state of the public
mind without being cheered, for though we may
be unable to see exactly how Sherman is to bo
driven out of Georgia, wo still feel confident; we
follow eur iustinots instead of our reason. We
feel—that is, we know—that we are on the eve of
an avalanche of glad tidings. We can feel it in
our bones that the vuudal hosts whose footprints
pollute the soil of Georgia, are to be driven pell
mell, like a herd of buffalo, out of the Empire
State, and that this event will he followed by the
election of McClellan, and the recognition of the
