REPORTED ADVANCE OF TUB ENEMY.
The report preva 1* at Staunton, that the enemy were,
daring the peat week, marching boa the Ksuewha
Talley upon Lewi* burg with a force of four thousand
men.
They are repwted to havj adeemed, wh:n Uat
beard from, ai far as Sew<.11 Mountain. It ie supposed
that the eucay at Biverloy, iu Rudolph county, will
also advance.
FIG HI IN EAST TENNESSEE.
a It is authentically reported that a fight occurred at
Wetaug| Bridge, Kist Tenaeuee, oc Monday, the 83 h
bit, between Brig.-Gan. A. I. Jscksoo and a superior
force of Yankees. When oar informant left Satiia the
day, the Yankees had been rep deed and diivcn back.
Iu eapectatio . of ato.her attack by still Larger i utubers,
Gsn. Jackson bad increased his prepare1 ions to receive
them. N’j particulars have transpired.

PROM THE PENINSULA.
Ado lit r periodica! isport of tbs “Yankees advancing
up ibe Peninsula," wjs in circulation yesterday, bnt
created lirltar do sensation. Passengers by tbs Totk
river train, la-tev.'U'n?, reported that ccueiderable ex
citement prorated at Tuistall’e Station, on ths strength
of the statement of c jurierr, that the enemy were com
ing np tho Pen'ntnla, and had reached the vie nity of
BirhamivUe, Wednesday night, and that oar pickets
there had b.*en ‘ dr.vao iu ” Notice bad been g ven to
other picket posts of the advance.
The route by which the Yankees came is by New
* Rent Croes Road:, and is, w > believe, the same by which
McClellan advanced in 1361. Birhamevil'e is about
w. thirty five miles from R cbmond. In consequence of
the reports at Taaaiai.'s, the train retnrned throe qiar
tere of an hoar before the asud time. Probably a re*
ooonoitering party baa be«n seat up to “feel’’oar Po
tion and a<o?rtain wha.ever they could in relation to
oar strength, depletions, A -.
IMPORTANT PROCLAMATION.

SOUTHERN PAPER IN FRANCE.
Msj. Henry St. Paul has published a pamphlet, ad
dressed to Hon. Laden J. Dupre, Representative in
. Cong rest fro3 Louisiana, in reference to the establish*
meat of a Southern paper in France in the interests of
tie Con ederacy.
The Mobile Tribune, referring to the proposed enter.
prUe, think* it is too late, and ad la, “if.had been be
gan one year ago, and carried oo with ihe vigor sug
| geeted by Msj. St. P»ul, we believe that to day there
B would have been a sentiment on the continent in our
behalf that would hare demanded interposition in the
straggle. The writer show* ihe greater i: fl ier.ee which
such ajxirual would have in France than in Engl.nd.
We have a paper in London, but it eeenu to us to be
conducted without spiii; and a trqjs knowledge of its
mission. It has, however, d^ce some s-rvioe in p e
aentieg fasts, official paper#, A?., which, without its aid,
might never 1avs reached the people of E gland

"Cavalry Forces of tbs Uniied 8 at 8-1 ate res ting Facta
and Statistic* of whit it U _s been ar.d i* Now.”
' S xteen years ago thu br nch of the etrvi.e was com
posed of three regimen** only; shortly alter the Mexi
can war it was increased to rtx. This is now the num
ber in the regular army, la ths volunteer service,
however, the figures are astounding, and we pretuse
exist only on paper. We au-pect, if tho stattmmCe are
__ true as given in the article retorted to, that Lirooln baa
been allo^g^r a ertatoa of organisations on paper for
t is purposed orcatiig (a: places for favorites, lor that
they have anything like the number state 1 in the fi« Id
Is not to be believed for a moment. The figures given
are as follows: Six regul. r regiments, 7,638 offiu-rt
•aid men; 690 vo uuteer regiments, of about 6o0 00<l
ocheers aud aieu. The annua! pay of the force ia put
down at #171,o6i,860; number of horses, 717,684, acd
tho to al estimate of expenaa of cost of outfit and one
year’s pay, $341.193 416.
The figures are, it is sa*d, tuteo from the documecte
in the cavalry bureau oi me War Department. No one
wJl believe for a moment there is any such fores in the
field, aid it is evident a wholesale system of robbery
of the treasury is going oa.

Boston, says the New York Tribune, of tbe iSJ, to
•cod the iron clad Canonicui to sea. She will leave on

Tii Pivs Dollab Xotbs —Tae heavy depreciation of
|b« five dolltr notes falls aa a serioui evil on our peo
ple. Until recently, only some farmer* refused to sell
for them at par, but within the pait dty or two every
body bee shut down upoo uem. Y .s.erday, not avon
shad could be bought with them, exrep: at a discount
of 40 per can. Toere is aome talx that Congress,
which meets next Monday, will breaths new lit# into
them by pawing an ant making them receivabla at par
for the new six p.r cent, bonds, fire million dollars cf
which are to be eold in this ci.y on the twel th day of
May next. Such ast.ou on tha part of Oongreaa would
immed auly put them at par with the new issue nelee;
they would be sought after by capitalists,and av.ry
merchant and farmer would gladly ted their goods
for them. Any money that will buy these sew bond),
bearing, as tb«y do, six per eent. internet, and bsing
thereby secured and exompi from all taxation, will, cf
course, be at par with tha new issue notes. Th* method
cf reviving the fives is easy enoug<; whathrr it is de
sirable or (ipedienl to do so is a quastion which merits
the cousideranoa of Congress. v
bf a yob's Coobt.—Toere was, ai uiuai lately, little of
interest before the Mayor yesterday.
Jjju Albert was fined twenty dolls a for arl ing
liquor aiinout a licen'e. It asems that on Tuesday
tig.I there beisj a ball at Mrs. Ryan’s, in lower Main
etreat, Albert, who is a disabled soldier, opened an im
prcnp.u bar with a j jgof brandy, and was doing a fine
bes uees, when c doer Granger entered and made him
abut up shop.
Jerry Sullivan, a small boy, ohxrgod with peddling
tobacco at the Central depot witnout a license, was dis
charged.
Joshua, a slavs, was ordered to ba whipped for steal

Doc.or canght the thief with his hand in bis waistcoat
pocket, and had him arrested. Mull was brought be
fore the Mayor yesterday, aad, after th* facts h .d bean
heard, was committed to the chain gang for nine.y days,
in default of security iu iAOO to keep the oeac*.
I a raw* best cr Uoaass.—Whiia. Government ia im
pressing every horse and mala in this eity and county,
belonging to private individuals, it would aeem justice
daman da that the Q la'tdrmistors and Commissaries on
duty here, many oi wnom have no nio for horses ex
cept for pleasure purposes, should be s’, least restricted
to on \ Most of these offi rials k?ep two horses, always
flue an muls, pckei from Govornmaut drove), and

fituea thousand pounds of forage a day.

Franc* J. Iibeh’s dwelling house, on the west end of
Marshall street, was broken into by thieves Wednesday
aig jt and robbed of a large quantity of sugar, coffee,
candles and bacon. Tbs robbers, probably unable to
carry it > 9, left sevenl barrels of flour in tbe s.oru
room. .
Fils Missiso —A duplicate, unbound file of the Ssiz.1
Weckly Whig lor 1S41 (we believe) ia missing from ti.il
office. It has probably beau ttol.-u to be sold as wrapping
paper. Any person who can g ve any information lead

priately rewarded, by promptly communicating the same
to this office. *
Fias.—Betwee n eleven and twel/e o'clcck yesterday

• v-nntlv sucmit to the benevolent and the patriotic through; ut
the Confederate Stales, an appeal In behalf of the Soldiers’ Faml
lies In lb s ally Since the commencement ol the war Richmond
h ab eaa refuge for those who bavo been driven from their
home* by nnr ruthless enemies. Thousand* of help!*** women
aod children, not from the devastated oountle* of Virginia alone,
bat from nesrly every State of th* Confederacy, have sought an
asylum In oar mlds.. Ou clilseas have been appealed to In nniA

ul.h h 'es and clothing for soldier* le the field and ho*p tel, tod
to agjrd food and aheiter for their aufferlbg families, and noLly
hare they, to the great majority of Inslanoei, responded to every
appeal.
Tb* snppIVe of prov tlons In the city at tble time are to re
dnosd, a.d the diiticulties of obtaining other* by ordinary meana
to numerous end great, that ihe fundi contributed for toe relief
of ibe poor can accomplish but little In purchasing the neceitarlet
of life.
In a written report from the Clothing Boreas It appear* tbat
there are more than three thousand female* In thla city who arc
seeking employment from the Government In vain, and that those
who obtain work are not fully employed Th* wage* received
for their work will not enable these poor women to procure a
sufficiency of the plain*.! food for themielvct and children
Without assistance, then, from the city aod country gtneraly,
many tnslancrs of actual starvation most have occurred. Our
City Council has made m si liberal appropriations for the-pur
ehase of supp Its, bo'.h for gratuitous distribution and lor sale
at co,I, hot the agents employed for the purpose have not been
able to pmcore the quantity of provisions required.
Under these circumstances we feel that It le our dutytoap
peal to our fellow-cl item throughout tie Confederate States to
forward, without delay, contribution! of money sod supplies to
the Army Committee of this Association. Mace the commence
