FEDERAL REPORTS FROM FORT PILLOW.
Oft Fort Pillow, April, 24.—Gunboats still
remain quiet; two mortars, the only ones now in
position, throw twenty or thirty shells daily at
the fort. The enemy always responds with "shot
sad shell, giving us two to one. We have not
been damaged yet. The rebels have been rein
forced bv four new gunboats.
An attack has been expected for several nights.
Commodore Foote’s wound is no better. He res
marked to»day, that if Gen. Pope’s forces bad re*
mained with him he would now be at Memphis.—
The capture of that place or Fort Pillow at this
t.me would be unavailing, since we could not
occupy them.
Some cotton was. shipped to-day by a neigh
boring rebel planter, on the DeSoto, for New
York.

MORGAN AT LEBANON, TENN-
At Pulaski, Col. Morgan, as the public knows,
aad an engagement with the enemy, in which
one hundred and ten ot the latter were killed and
three hundred and fliteen taken prisoners, with
the loss of but one man on our side.
The gallant partisan leader, leaving six hun
dred of hi- men at Pulaski, proceeded northward
with ths remaining four hundred, on an enter,
prise of much importance and daring. Unfor
cunately, however, some prisoners paroled at
Pulaski reached Nashville in time to notify the
Federal commander of the intended movement.
While at Lebanon, 30 miles east of Nashville,
Col. Moreau with his four hundred men were
surprised and surrounded on three sides, in the
public square, bv three regiments of the Lincoln
roops—one of cavalry and two of infantry. Mor
■. jq immediately ordered two hundred of his men
to dismount and fight behind their horses.
The first volley was a deadly one, and during
the consternation produced, Col. Morgan charged
r furiously at -he head of the other two hundred,
and cutting nis way through the enemy, made his
escape over the turnpike running westwardly on
the South side of the Cumberland. The enemy’s
cavalry followed tn hot pursuit, but Morgan with
•forty of his men turned to the right, leaving the
turnpike, and crossed the river at Carthage, (
eighteen miles from Lebanon. The enemy sup
posing he would keep the South bank, passed the
to.-k in the road, on me track of the other part ot
the force. These outran the enemy and crossed
the river lower down.completely eluding their pur
suers. and nnahy rejoined their comrades at a
point’near the Kentucky line.
* Os the two hundred who dismounted at Lebans
on, forty are killed, wounded and missing—most
cf their horses having been killed, in con-,
sequence of having been used for breastworks.
The loss of the enemy was heavy—supposed to
be seven hundred, as' dead bodies lay scattered
dose together over a large area.
One of those parolled oy Col. Morgan at Puls
aski, named Woolford, was retaken. He was
lashed to a horse, one of Morgan’s men bestnds
tag him—the object being to take him with them.
But the enemy getting too close, the bowie-knife
closed his earthly career, the cords were cut,
aau his lifeless corpse was allowed to drop in
the road.
Thus was the escape of this gallant Partisan
secured, and the enemy foiled, in the most bril
liant and successful manner; leaving him and
his men at liberty to be a terror to vandal inva
ders, and to execute the great purpose of his ens
terprise. We have been informed as to that
purpose, but deem it best to withold it. He has
four thousand picked men in Tennessee ready to
join him, so that in due time, the public will
hear startling news from news worthy his
genius and prowess, and which will be a crush®
to our insolent foe.

THE CONSCRIPIION ACT-
The following letter, from the Secretary of
War to Governor H. T. Clark, of North Carolina,
was laid before the Convention, by the Governor,
recently. It contains much of interest to our read
ers :
CONFEDERATE STATFS OF AMERICA, 1
War Department, >
Richmond, April 30, 1862. }
His Excellency,
Governor Henry T. Clark,
Raleigh, N. C.
Sir : Your letter of the 24th inst. was received
on vesterday. In reply I have the honor to say,
that the effect of the Conscription act is to suss
pend calls on the States for quotas. The >
ber of men between the ages of 18 and 35 is as
sumed to be precisely in the ratio of popula
tion.
The first effect of the act is to retain in the sers
vice all soldiers who were there on the 16th of
April. The next, to till up the companies with
men liable to military duty under the act, by re .
placing those men on service who will be exempt
from age, with those not now on service, not so
exempt, and thus to fill and keep full the exists
ing corps to the maximum allowed by law. If
any Stateshave not enough regiments in the ser
vice, or heretofore authorised by the Department
to be raised, to absorb the material between the
ages of 18 and 35, the excess will be collected in
Camps of Instruction, disciplined, and brought
into service, pursuant to section nine of the
2k.Ct.
I will accept the State Troops in their present
organization, to be received on the same footing
j with other regiments already in the Confederate
service, the men over 35 and under 18 to be dis
charged within 90 days from the 16th April, and
their place supplied from the enrolled conscripts.
The right of reorganization, by election, belongs
only to 12 months men. Those whose enlistment
is for a longer or a shorter period, remain in the
service on their existing organizations. These
Xtneral remarks are supposed to answer several
inquiries. The of
regulations catlhft? lnorder to relieve
the men now in service who are over 35 years of
age.
2. The State Troops will be received as stated
above.
3. Men over 35 years of age now in service will
be discharged within 90 days. They or others
not now in service will be at liberty to serve by
voluntary enlistment, but not in lieu of conscripts,
except as substitutes.
4. Volunteering is not stopped by the Con
script Bill. By section 13, persons liable as con*
scripts may volunteer in any company now in
service. "You are referred especially to Regula
tion Bto 11 inclusive. The act approved Decemc
ber 11, 1861, providing for the payment of.
bounty to volunteers for the war, continues of
force."
5. Militia officers between 18 and 35 are em
braced by the Conscription Act.
The quota of each Slate, under existing laws,
will be all liable U military duty under the act
of April 16th.
I enclose a copy of the Act and Regulations
established for carrying it into effect.
Very respectfully,
•Your obedient servant,
Geo. W. Randolph,
Secretary of War.
LATER FROM NEW ORLEANS
The latest information’ from New Orleans we
find in the Memphis Appeal of the 6th, and copy
| ioiiows;
Affairs at New Orleans.—We Lave informa
tion from New Orleans up to Friday last, des
rived from persons who Left there on that day. A
portion of Gen. Butler’s division, estimated at
10,000, had arrived and taken possession of the
city. They marched through the streets playing
on their brass bands the ancient air “ Picayune
Butler’s Coming.” ‘As was expected, one of their
first outrages upon the personal liberty of promi
nent citizens was the arrest of the gallant Mon
roe. whose bold, fearless and patriotic reply to
Farragut rendered him ao peculiarly obnoxious to
! that vulgar braggart. Wheu our informant left
• so far as was known, none of the gunboats had
taken their departure up the river.
Great indignation is felt in New Orleans at the
cowardy treason of the mutineers through whose
dereliction of duty the forts below were forced
to capitulate. Ths traitors knowing what they
had t .l expect,accordingly refused to return to
the city, and were carried to Ship Island, wbe|p
they still remain. They were ali foreigners, and
numbered three hundred and fifty. When the
plot was discovered, the officers turned some of
the guns upon the guilty parties to enforce
obedience, but found them spiked.
It is also stated that the pickets who were
stationed below to give the appointed signals on
approach of the fleet, went over to the enemy,
and hence the mortor and guo boats were enabled
to surprise the officers of the garrison, and thus
su needed in effecting wnat might have other.-
wise proved an impossible feat.
In the whole history of this war we know of
ne incident which so deserves the execration of
the nation, as this shameless and treasonable
defection ot tne Fort Jackson garrison. Certain
ly none will receive to a greater extent the hearty
curses of posterity. Let them be branded with
the earmarks of infamy,
‘‘And handed down through futuretime,
Eternal beacons of consummate crime-’’

SPIRIT OF THE ENGLISH PRESS —THE LON
DON TIMES ON THE RECENT SOUTHERN
REVERSES.
The tide of war, having ouce turned in favor ot
the Federal arms, hud carried them jit the la
test dav, to that point where it would be equally
damierous to advance and to retreat. Resoived
upon doing something worthy ot their enormous
preparation, the Federate, besides keeping at buy
the besieging army at Washington, have simul
taneously blockaded and attacked uh the ports of
the Southern States, invaded the border States,
sent expeditions up the Tennessee and Cumber
land rivers and down the Mississippi, occupied
Nashville, the capitol of Tennessee, uud, as it
were, taking 'advantage of the Confederate pau»
ic, have turned the flank of their, army 4 on the
Potomac bv crossing at Harper s terry and
occupying the country ou both banks of the
Shenandoah, On thfe first of the month it was
evidently believed that the long cxpectod ad
vance of the whole army on the Potomac was
to take place, in which case the Confederates,
it was hoped, would soon have to choose-a new
capital and headquarters. W ith a fortnight alo
ways between us and the sceue of war, we cannot
vanture to guess what may haye happened since
the receipt of intelligence which bodes ill for the
brighter hopes of the Southern cause. In the State
of things we have described, there are at once the
elements of a great success and of a great re
verse. The Northern press compute their forces
at three quarters of a million men in arms, amply
provided with all the weapons of war, in good
training and courage, and well placed all round
their foe. The ocean, the deep bay, the winding
channel, the navigable river, therailway, all car
ry Federal soldiers and guns in one vast circum
ference round the beleagured South, at once sur
rounding and penetrating, blockading and divi
ding. The very idea of such a war is American,
multitudinous, vast, and as much an appeal to
the imagination us to the brunt of arms. Ac
cording to the last message of the newly enstalled
President of the Southern States, it felt that they
were outnumbered, and reduced to an extremity
in which nothing could save their cause but
recollection not to be beaten. Unprepared, com
paratively few, with a less population and suffer
ing just then the period of furloughs and re-enlist
ments. they had been taken at a disadvantage, and
had suffered serious lossess. Strangely to Eng
lish eyes, Mr. Jefferson Davis feels equal con
cern for the loss of Fort Donelson, witn 15,000
men and a precious store of arms, ammunition and
supplies, and the island of Roanoke, commanding
the entrance of the river of that name. These are
admitted to be disasters, and are described to
the superior numbers, wealth and opportunities
ot the North. Indeed, the confession of defeat is
so thorough and unreserved that it comes as a
sort of surprise to find it followed by the date. •
ruination to fight to the last drop ot blood. It is
clear, however, that the Confederates fee- tue
overpowering numbers of the North, rapid rein
forcemeats, their ready command of supplies,
and their übiqitous appearance by sea and by
land. Some of their'expresssions recall those ia
which Roman historians of the later Empire
spoke of the Northern tribes. A cloud hangs
over the Southern States ; and even that rar
West,” which many of us remember to have heard
of as just invaded by the settler, is now peopled
with hordes ready to burst out upon the South.
This is an illusion which must soon disappear ;
but for the present it adds to the ~ terrors of the
invasion, against which the Confederates, unaei
Beauregard, were preparing to make at a position
of some importance, rejocing in the name ot
Murtreesbouroug, forty miles Soutn of Nashv
ville.
What‘must naturally occur to any European who
has read a single page ot military history is. that
the progres of a hundred thousand men, ever so
well equipped and commanded, into a country
which reckons it distances by hundreds of miles,
may be very like fighting the air or lashing the
waves. From Nashville, east, south and west,
for at least five hundred miles, all is Southern in
terest and feelling. There is.no.divided allegiance
or treachery there. But the condition of the
country makes invasion at once easy and ineffec
. nesses to be traversed, forests to be penetrated,
swamps to be waded through, and even Indian
settl emeus to be crossed, before the country can
be conquered in -any sense of the word,’; and the
only result mus t be, that for every man of the
conquering army there will still be half a dozen
reacty to defend the soil. The invading army may
conquer where it stands, and go where it willbut
when it begins to break up, to occupy, to reap the
fruits of the conquest, and to put itself in the
place of the original proprietor, than it seems to
disappear in the immensity of its own task. Im
other words, the conquest of such a country, in any
real sense of that word, seems an impossibility, so
. long as the occupants are animated by the feel
• ings which nobody denied to the South. Thp
incidents of the war brings this out, even while
they expose the difficulties of the Southern cause.
The troops which for these ten months have baf
fled the immense numbers and wealih of the
North, are ill-clothed, ill-fed, ili-armed, ill-housed,
and ill-appointed tn every day. Through all this
winter they have slept on the bare ground, with
few and scanty meals, unable to afford stimulants,
and with the oldest muskets and fowling pieces.
Yet they tight bravely, by the admission of their
foes, even when as at Fort Donelson and on the
coast, it was under a shower of shells which they
could not return. When such is the spirit, what
is the hope of their conquest, and can the Nonh
really expect to subjugate them and reduce them
to a virtual dependency ? The have only to hold
out, and they know they must beat the North at
the game or obstinacy. They stand on their own
soil and defend their own homes. They can do
this cheaply enough,jbat a war which is cheap to
them will be ruinous to the invader, who brings
bis men and material over a thousand miles, as
we found to ourcost of the War of Independence
and again a the unfortunate quarrel of 1813 'l4.
Let us suppose, howeves, a great plan successs
fully carried out; half a million oi Federal soldiers
established in the beat strategical points of the
South ; the harbors, canals,, rivers railways, forte,
ail occupied in force, and the Confederates no
where in any number to give alarm. Then comes
the far more serious questions of ibe political set *
tiement. The best people in the States and the
wisest people here, all Look to an amicable aepiv
ration as the only possible eolation of the diffi
culty, and the only way to beal tbe breach of feel
ing. The fondly hope that the successes of the
North may giro it the opportunity of making
terms some what more agreeably and more advan
tageously than was possible after its previous
disasters. But it is one thing to hope for success
an the means of paci&cauon, and another thing
to use it for that purpose. The American beard
is very susceptible of victory, and the ambitious
hopes which it feeds. We have to consider now
what a conquering army and government are
likely to be content with, and that remains to be
seen. With the tide of victory there conaes
often a tide of arrogance, which knows not
moderation. Even the most moderate claim
ascribed to the North is the possession of the
Border States leaving the Gulf States t> the
new Confederate Union. But both interest
aod feehbg bind Kentucky ami Tonoessee, not to
say Maryland, to the South. (I must also be
confessed, though we have occasional hints in
private letters and despatches about as amicable
separation, that neither is ths idea to be found in
any American documentor journal, no.'has it
here been put into any distinct and intelligible
form.
The war has brought into light and developed
serious proportions a third party in thia oon&et
—the strong, increasing, independent, self-Conti.-
dent Western States. They are now doing ine
work and they know it. They will not contrbuie
to the payment of the monster debt, uor can they
be made to contribute. Yet, if the New England
States cannot extract it from them, or from the
Sovth, which will find its own burdens qnite
enough to bear, how will they tolerate the iud-g
nity of paying the whole eoet tbenriseivex? 0m
thia is only one of the maov questions which the
two Government will hare to settle when they
had a Vi'ufranca on American soil.
Money has been called " tic sinews of w»r.”
and for tbia roaeoa Without money, how is it
i pcw&ible for anartny t<j make an adw>ce ?
An Ambush ov the Shbn'iNOOah. —An officer at
tached to Wheat’s battalion communicated to us
yesterday the par ticulars.of an affair which oc
curred near Slabtown on the Shenandoah river,
in Rockingham county, on Sunday last. Col.
Wheat’s battalion of Louisiana Volunteers, now a
part of General Taylor's brigade, of Ewell’s di
vision, was out on picket duty, when it discovered
a large Fed ral force of three regiments ap
proaching. The battalion was immediately thrown
ints> ambush, and patiently awaited the enemy’s
approach until the proper time for tiring, when a
well directed volley was poured into his ranks,
which threw them into confusion and caused them
to fly without firing a gun. Coll Wheat had only
280 men, and seized the opportunity to make a
sate retreat to his own supporting force, which
was too far oft'to git up in time, or the affair
would have been more extensive and advantas
geous to us The enemy left fifteen dead in the
road and carried off a number of wounded. On
our side there was one man killed, belonging to
the “Tigers,” by the accidental discharge of a
comrade’s gun. Nobody was wounded.
Our men took one prisoner of the First Virginia
Federal Regiment—that regiment was made up
chiefly of Dutch and Ohioans. He claimed mer
