NEWS FROM NASSAU.-The Wil
mington Journal has Nassau dates to
the 20th ult. The steamer Oreto,
which had been seized and detained
as a Confederate war vessel, was re
leased on Friday of last week.
The Federal cruisers capture ves
reis bound to Nassau under English
colors within sight of land, on the plea
that they have run, or are going to
run the blockade. We confess to a
good deal of surprise at learning the
extent and character of the outrages
to which the once proud mistress of
the seas has submitted at the hands
of Liucoln's armed vessels.
-Nassau is a "ecesh" port--:the
very negroes go for the Confederacv
--fr the business of "running the
blockade'" fr'm that port has given it
astart which it never had before
and there. too, the price of provisions
has gone up largely on account of the
unnr'cedented nmnb-er ofves.els call
inj for supplies, esFcially in the way
of vegetables. The Yankees willlet
nothing be shipped friom any North
ern port except on the shir er giving
bond that it is not, in any event, to
be carried to any port in the Confed
erate ,States. Even goods brought by
the Cunard steamers to New York
can only'he reshipped on the same
conditions.
Mr. A. M. Hull will accept our
thanks for Mobile papers.
The forepart of this week there
was only three fights in one day, in
this place. Noliveslost. Brickbats
chairs, and spades were the xeapons
used. Blood flowed ; Blackeyeas are
Sisible.
We are blessed with cool nights
:and mornings.
Rev. Jessee Lee, will preach at
the Baptist Church on next sabbath
at 11 o'clock, A. M.
The sum of 8403,070,60 has been
realized from the sale of prize vessels
and cargoes at Philadelphia.
Now Orleans papers of April 25th,
have come to hand. Wonder where
they have been traveling to ?
Fernando Wood has at last yielded
to :he pressure around him. From
a oetter ldeiending himself from dot.bt
we extract the following:
Since tlhe breaking out of this
dreadful civil war I have held out
but one position and that is of warm
support of the government-and at
no tiwe, either by word or act have I
aidced or abetted in hostility to it.
As an earnest of the truth of what
I ,ay on this poiiitt I now offer for
th cause of volunteering in this
State, the sum of $5000 if t]e con
trary to this averment be shown.

The News.
.l
We have not lately received any a
important News, further than skirm
ishes. The aspect of the prosecution
of hostilities 'for some time to come, u
is po different to what it was weeks
ago. The Lincoln government is
straiuing every nerve, and calling
out every man capable of hearing
arms. They fintl they have made at
splendid calculation without count- n
ing the cost. The ~atuial conse-.
queuce arrising from this is. thati
great dissatisfaction is visible anm,,ng
the people of that tremcndlo c u1- I
try, who were bent on subjugating a i
people. that took up arms in del;neC'.n
ot their rights and liberties.
Lincoln accounts fir dh, n::1y an - t,.
feats of his several armies. by t.a: ing t
that the pep)ple of the States in re- "
bellion; have gathered together allp
persons 'ho could bear arms. Hi.t
therefore figures that the whole C(on
federate forces, can be easily over
come in a 4;hort time, by pursuing t
the proper course; ordering out all
tAe rnilitia, and making every man
shoulder a musket, whether foreign
or native born. By this means he
calculates raising an army sufficient
ly strong, to run over, and trample
under feet, the rebels by superior
weight. In response to his call for
more troops, however, he .ntet; with
,rany unexpected blunt refusals. I
Our readers must be patient until t
Lincoln gets his immer:se force in,
the field, if they wish to hear stirring!i
news, for the fights that ha-,- ii
ready been reported will sink int,;
insignificance, if Abe means; lhat i:,.;a
says. i

detected sn, thina wrlng in the woruking of
the instruments, and ullrlmise't tIhat snilll
outsider was siharint their telegraphic se
crets. They c' itmnunicated this su-piciou
to the superintendent at (':.rinth, why pre
mised to keep a sharp, luotkl<t.
Yesterday they discovered that teir un
invited confident could talk as well as lis
ten. Tl.e transmission of a passage was
suddenly interrupted by the eiaculation, 'O
pshaw !' 'A moment afer. it was again
broken with 'Hurrah for Jeff. Davis !"
Individuality shows itself as well in tele
graphing as in the footstep, or in h.udwrit
ing. Mr. Hall, one of the Federal operators
at Memphis, instantly recognized the per
former, not by his tune, but his time, as a
young man formerly in Buffalo and other
Northern offices, but now employed by the
Confederates. Mr Hall surprised him by
replying promptly,"'Ed. Saville, if you don t
want to be hung, you had better leave !
Our cavalry is closing in on both sides of
you !"
There was a little pause, and then the re
ply': "floW in the world did you know
me? Hewe4et, I've been here four days,
and learned all we want to know. As this
is becoming rather a tight place., I think I
will leave. You'll see ini a-ain when you
least expect it Good bye, boys !"
The rebel operator made good his escape.
He had cut the wire, inserted a piece .,; his
own, and by a pocket instrument had be,,n

Butler got Wind of it and sent a company

these wagons, one or two Federal soldiers
were killed by some patriotic young men of
the district. Not being able to catch the
offenders, Butler immediately arrested sev

Richmulond, July 31st, 1862. 1
Snl : On the t2'2d oftthis month a cartel f
fuY al general exchange of prisoners of war
was signed before Major sen. D. H. Hill,
in behalf of the Confederates, and Major
Gen. John A. Itix. in behalf of the United
{ilatos. By the terems of that cartel it is
itipatlatcd that tll prisoners of war hereto- f
t ire talkn shall hie discharged on parole J

I ,een signed till thei United States com
nctled t pract'ice, .hanginig the character t
of the wax, f, it, sllchtl as becomes civilized e
nations, into a canlpaign of indiscriminate t
robbery and nlurder. I
The general order issued by the Secreta
rv ,o \\'ar in the l'uited States, in the i
l'aity .i \alhllgton, on the very day that a
tit cartl.I was signed in Virginia, direets
the ziilitary c('olanilders of the United
Stlt,.. i t take the private prope:ty of our
l.,pIl' for thl: convenlince and use of their
armie- without comlpensation.
The gene t(l order is-sued by Maior Gen.
i',ope. ,on tk.e 23i of July, the day after the
.signin-; of the cartel. directs the murder of
our pi.,ceful inhablitants as spies if fI)und

outsiid- of hi-li iintes: and ,ine of his briga- t
ilier t.enirals, Steiun\ehr, has seized upon t
enaceful inhat,itants, to lie held as hostages t
to the *rnd that they bie murdered in cold

soime unknown persons, whom he desig- t
uates its "lushwihacker.s."

Shortly afterwards all live of them
were taken violently ili-the symp

thle Surgeon who attended them, that"
they had been poisonx.d-and that

has been turned over to the Mayor
for investigation.
Five of the men who partook of
the milk died on the 6th inst.
The penalty for passing counter

Act of the last session of the Provis

ARREST OF ONE OF ITS CITIZENS.
About 2 P. M. on Tuesday last our
town was admonished by the whistle
that a boat was approaching the land
ing. We started out up the street,
but had get but a few yards, when
the booming of a gun and the whistl
ing of a shot overhead, caused us to
--pause and consider." Immediately
some mounted conscripts hurrying up
the street, somewlttt enlightened us
as to the cause of the shot, the ball
from which gun just grazed Stockley's
brick drug store, and crashing through
thechinatrees lining that side of Main
street, pierced throngh the centre of
one at Chore's corner, and fell in the
btreet some little distance farther off.
These mounted men, we learned,
were on the levee as the boats were
approaching. preparing to go on the
other side of the river, and it was to
themr proLably, that we muayattribute

visited ainour ,t every art of our town

Ilkill paid Mr. Brown a visit on the
other aide of th,' river-took his bed
ding, clothing, jewelry, &c., broke
open armoirs and trunks, and burnt
his flat and skiiflf. Mr. Brown has
been a quiet and inoffensive man dur
ing this unhappy war, and it looks
hard if all that was done to him are
brought about by plying his vocation
as public ferryman.
The company that was seen on the
bank of the river was in the act oi
going on the other side, when seen by
the Burton, called there by an insur
rection of the negroes that started at
Arnou's and Brenger's plantations,.
many of whom the night previous
were making their way to Baton
Rouge, armed with self made knives
and spikes, but discovered by two
citizens at Manchac, were ordered to
halt, and on refusing were fired into.
Without the force alluded to, the cit
zens .on that side of the river were in
a perilous condition.
Late in the afternoon, the two boats
started off down stream, the Burton
leading and taking of the ar-ested
shelling the coast as tbe went along.
