RICHMOND, Tuesday, April 21.
It is be-ie ved that I La Government received
ou Sundi*, y uer* rro-i V.J. i1 urg, which has
been withheld from t'..e public. More boats,
it is said, have passed. Infantry is marching
down the other side to bo landed under cover
* of the gunboats bel JW Vicksburg, with'the
view of cutting off its communications. This
will cause a land fight, from which good re
sults arc expected. Hence the authorities
here are'ehecrful, believing it be3t for both
parties that tho fight should come off as soon
as possible. It is not thought Port Hudson
is in great danger. The boats which have
reached Farragut will enable him to rejoin
the fJeet below Port Hudson, but at a cost of
toll so heavy as to render the trip too unpro
fitable to be repeated. This is the sanguine
view. On the other hand, the croakers say
Vicksburg is now bound to fail.
The Tar. Bill has passed the Houss and
waits only the President's signature to be
came a law. One of its effects is the card of
Go?ddin & Apperson, the great real estate
agents, who say the tax of sales being greater
than their commissions, compels them to close
their business. Why not increase tbeirsharges ?
It is said they waut to close, and intend to
turn their business over to A. D. Williams.
Still nothing from Longstreet, except a re
ported fight on Sunday. Wise bas fallen
back from Williamsburg. The ?tory goes
that the Administration having done their
best to induce Wise to resign,, sent him tu
Williamsburg to get captured. But, as at
Roanoke Island, be was too smart for them.
His friends want him to run forCougre*s, and
he would do so did he not burn to avenge the
death of his son.
Wo hear of dissatisfaction in Louisiana, re
peated charges of incompetency against Gen
eral Taylor, and no regard paid to them by
the Presidetit. One of the delegation of that
State is believed to have had a painful inter
view with the Secretary of War "in regard to
affair* in his section. Some think that if the
j ear parses without aDy attempt to relieve
New Orleans, the people of that city, worn
out with sufferiug and disheartened by ne g
lect, will lose their love for the cause, and
cease to consider themselves a part of the
Confederacy. This is not likely. New Or
leans will not be less constant than Alexan
dria, Norfolk, Nashville, and Memphis.
A b ockade rurmer, just from Maryland,
says the espionage in Baltimore gets more
rigid every day. Of late it has been exc?s
6ively annoying. Spies dog the steps of all
?*-pected persons, male or female, and whole
families are being expatriated. Alon?; the
Potomac the pickets are doubled ; in Wash
ington there is great uneasiness. But in
spite of Yankee vigilance, letter carriers,
large quantities of goods aud Baltimore bellet
continuo to come through.
Bar rooms are now running openly in all
parts of the city. Mr. Seddou addressed a
letter to the Common Council, urging them
not to license doggeries, bnt, they paid little
heed to his en trealla*] being mire anxious to
fill the city coffer? than to keep it in good re
pute. One of the candidates for the Legis
lature claims favor on the ground of his vote
fur doggeries. LT alt M ES.

GEN. WHEELER'S RECENT OPERATIONS.-A
correspondent of'the Chattanooga Jieb?!, wri
>' ling from McMinnville, Tenn., gives some Ol
the particulars of Gen. Wheeler's recent ex
ploits. Nine miles beyond Nashville, Gen.
W. arrested a train on the Louisville and
Nashville Road, and captured an immense
supply of Federal Government stock, burning
cars, locomotives, etc. Subsequently, he ap
proached the rear of Nashville by one of his
characteristically hold und brilliant lent*,
withiu nine miles of Nashville, a-id pitched
into a (rain upon the Nashville and Chaira
noosa Railroad. The train was halted, but
not before a well-directed volley h.:d been
fired into the fast speeriin;; cars. As a result
of this exploit, Gen. Wheeler had tue pleas
ure of securing three of Rosencrau%*? stall
officers, thirty-five other individuals who bore
the insignia, of rank, and about one hundred
Confederate soldiers who had been captured
and who were on their way to jiil. The lit
tle volley fifed into the train resulted iu kill
in?: some thirty Federal soldiers, und wound
ing thrice that number.
Among tbe spoils of Gen. Wheeler was
the celebrated Trautso pistol, just presented
to Gen. Rosencranr. by some time-serving
*j."ankeo( and inscribed with the name of Hev
en battle-fields upon which old Rosy had dis
tinguished himself.
-
RECONNOISANCE IN FORCE.-The report of
the enemy of the battle of Charleston sets al
rest all question as to the character of the
assault. It was no reconnoisance in force, as
some have supposed, but the very best fight
they were able, after two year's preparation,
to make for the occupation of the harbor and
thc reduction of the city of Charleston. This
is established by the official-order of battle
published by " Rear Admiral" F S. Dupont,
in which among other things, he says : " Af
ter the reduction of Fort Sumter, it is proba
ble the next point of attack will be the but
teries on Morris' Island. ' The Rear Admiral
didn't reach the second step in his programme.
But it is not surprising that the opinion
6hould have obtained some currency, that
this was "only a reconnoisance in force. We
thought the same as to the battle of Fre'der
icksburg, at first. Even Gen. Lee seemed to
bc of that opinion. "We whip them s.o easily
that it is hard to distinguish between their
battles and their reconuoiRsances, their fights
and their feints. It was not to be supposed
that little Beauregard would, in two hours
and thirty minutes by thc watch, have re
pulsed and defeated a grand assault, that wai
two years preparing. But he did !-Rich

AFFAIRS IN THE CHEROKEE NATION.-The
late session of the Cherokee Legislature,
which assembled in the Delaware district of
the nation, at Cowskin piairie, organized on
thc 18th ult.
Among the measures effected was the revo
cition of the ordinance of recession and thc
treaty with the Confederate government pass
cd by a former LegiMature. An act wai
passed deposiug from office all Cherokees dis
loyal to the government of the United States
and declari' ? them forever incompetent tc
hold any office. , A resolution was passed
asking the President to extend to the Chcro
kee Nation the offer of compensated emarici
patio?. At the same time a bili became i
law unconditionally abolishing slavery. I
is understood that another law was also paai
ed declaring all persons bari; ;n the Chere
kee Territory citizens of thc N?;'ion. This
of course, includes persona of African deseen
as well as whites.
Delegates are appointed to proceed to Wash
ington and confer with the general govern

The foreign pupers have a touching incl
dent about Poland. A little boy was stand
injj at the door of his mother's house, whe
he saw the Iv'is.siins fire a volley on the ir
sUr'ents. "Mother." cried the boy. "th
Utily Virgin protects our fri-tids, for I sat
none of them fall." A Russian officer rod
up and said, "See if the Holy Virgin wi
protect you," al the same time blowing cn
the boy'-- brains with a pistol.

Important Public Meeting.
? Th?? proceeding* of a public meeting, held
in this place on Friday last, will he found in
j another column. Major Carrington, of the
j Confederate Army, addressed the meeting,
I ri*p*esenting the wants of ouraimy in Vir
ginia. We wish'every farmer in the S tate
could bear him. Ile ?tuted that the army
had cousumec] all thc food it was possible to
I procure for 70 miles around the point where
i it is now stationed, and that unless more corn
and meat was furnished from North Carolina
it might have to fall hack into North Caroli
I na. It is important that the farmers of all
surrounding counties should remember this.
It would be much better that each man
should now sell to tlie Government one-half
or two-thirds of what he has in the way of
provisions, than to Lave the army fall back
into this ?tate. If the army is compe led
from mere want to retire from Virginia, it
will bs disastrous to nearly every man in
North Carolina, for he will not only then he
compelled to part with his provisions, but
bis lields may become the battle gronnd for
the contending forces. It is a serious matter
and we .vaut to impress it on the minds of
all. Every one in this and the surrounding
counties who has a bushel of corn or a pound
of meat to spare, must bring it forward im
mediately. He will be paid for it, and pair) a
goo?! price ; and i? will help to save the Cid
Xorth State trom hiing overrun by the mur
derers and robbers of the North. Now is the
time to act, and the action must be prompt.
And it would be well fur all who have a sur
plus amount of provisions on hand to reniem
bur that unless they ?ell it voluntarily, tbe
Government will be compelled to impress it.
The necessities of the army in, Virginia and
Eastern North Carolina can be anti must be
relieved if those at. home have to live on half
rations. The enemy now expect to conquer
us by starving our troops. Shall that be so
wh<m we have it in our power to prever? t it?
"We are not discouraged, and no one elie
should be, at the present condition of affairs,
for we are confident that there is food enough
in the South, ii properly distributed, to sup
pl}' the wants of soldiers and all others. We
have heard of several persons who have from
500 to 2,OOO bushels of cr.rn on hand, but
some of them seem unwilling to sell a portion
of it until they are forced to do so. The news
is that our brave mon everywhere are anxious
to meet the invader and confident of sucee?s
in a fair fight. Give them plenty of food and i
all will be well.-Charlotte Democrat.

' ia stated by Northern pupers thut Burnside's
death penalty order includes the curriers of se
cret mails, the writers of letters sent by secret

Granger's account of the battle at Franklin,
says: "Van Dorn attacked at ono o'clock. An
infantry regiment held him at bay until their
auiniunitiou was exhausted. A dense smoke en
abled him to approach near thu town, uuscen,
when Stanley attacked Forrest's division, and
captured six hundred prisoners and six pieces of
artillery, but being outUauked and outnumbered,
he abandoned thom. They were repulsed on all
sides, wheu darknoss prevented pursuit. Tho
Union loss was one hundred, that of the enpuiy
three times as many."

From Mississippi.
Of tho situation ai Vicksburg, we gather
the following from thc Whig, id' thc 21st:
The Yankees are amusing themselves eve
ry day in shelling thc city from their twenty
and thirty puundur guns on thc tongue of
land across the river. They have inflicted
little damage as yet, but their shells are a
considerable annoyance aa the iron visitors
burst into fragments frequently in the heart
of the eily, causing pedestrians to " skedad
dle" in line style. Our guns have not
" growled" ouce in return, and we suppose
they will not, as wc have always been very
prudent about expending our ammunition. If
the Yankees peresvere, and the pbst should
certainly teach us they are the most constant
people in the pursuit, of an undertaking that
the sun ever shone OD, considerable' damage
may bo done. We cannot believe that they
will be satisfied with two small Parrot guns.
Our pickets represent them to be working
constantly every night, and unless we endear
: or to drive them olf, gun after gun may spring
up until Vicksburg becomes toow..rm for
comfort.
The Jackson Appeal of the 2lst says : Our
latest information is from a gentleman who
left the city yesterday afternoon. The fire
from the battery opposite was going en when
the train left. Thus far comparatively few of
the missHcs thrown have reached the city.
Several buildings, however, have? been hit,
and slightly damaged. Among them is the
passenger depot, which has been struck sev
eral times, and it having become apparent
that its range had been ascertained, trains
are now stopped some distance this side for
safety. The firing to day seemed to be di
rected toward the vicinity of the Washington
hiuse.
From North Mississippi, the ?ame paper has
the following : " Our reports from North Mis
sissippi, received last evening, are not as sat
isfactory as previous intelligence given. It ia
stated that 1800 Federals, of whom four hun
dred ware cavalry, arrived from Holly Springs
ar, Wyatt's station, on the Mississippi Central
Kai ?road, Sunday evening. This point is on
the North bank of the Tallahatchie, in thc
Northern part of LaFayette county. Yester
day morning they ?.r.i-sed the river, but im
mediately recrossed, and took up their line ol
inarch-down the river, in thc direction of Sar

FROM THE BAR-We learn from Morris'
Inland that the Keokuk iu last settling in tie
quicksands where she surik,*and that her tur
rets und smoke-stack have alsoj disappeared.
All efforts to raise her will be abandoned.
Observations for the pa-d two^ day show^a
considerable stir on boardgthe^Tronsides. Her
masts were being raised, and- in connection
with other movements, seamed to indicate an
intentionjto proceed to Bea. It was rumored
yesterday that the whole fleetjoifliron-clads
were aboot to sail for Mobile. Another re
port was cirpulated that the Ericsson Floating
Battery had appeared off the Bar Friday
morning, with thc object, as was supposed,
of making an attempt to raise the Keokuk.
The first r.-port doubtless arose from the ap
pearance of the Ironsides in getting ready to
sail.-Charleston Courier, 25th,
THE CAPITOL OF TENNESSEE.- The editor
of the Nashville Union (Yankee) describes a

Instead of a temple of free thought and free
speech, it is now a military fortication. On
every side are to be seen " deep mouthed"

ROSE LEAVES.-We have been requested
by Surgeon J. J. Chisclm, who is in charge
ol the Medical Purveying Department, loca
ted in Columbia, to invoke the aid of the
ladies in collecting rose leaves, which are
now so abundant in the many pardens of this
city. Rose leaves are extensively used in
the manufacture of bl.ue pills, and are much
needed for preparing th:s article for issue td
i he sick of the army. The best leaves are
those of tho sweet rose, although the com
mun daily rose answers nearly aa well. We
feel confident that it is only to call the attri
tion of ladies to this subject, to obtain for
Surgeon Chisolm an abundant supply.-Soulh

Au Incident of thc Battle of Fredericks
burg.
The Lexington (Ya ) Oitxttte givos the follow,
ing extract from a letter written byan olfi.-cr to
a citizen of that town. It relates au amusing in
cident, which thc officsr says, .' ut like, most good
thins8 ?' ln-u kind, is truo :"
On Monday succeeding tho battlo of Frede
ricksbarjr, th? Yankoea a?ked for and obtained a
Bag of truca tu collect and carry oh" their dead.
A?"so?n as it was understood thal this was the
eis?, there was a cessation of tb-.- previous inces
.satil firing between tho skirmisher.! on both rides.
Soon the uicn of both parties began to lay down
their arms and walk out into the n itural ground
between and talk nnd swap newspapers, tobacco,
souee, *c. Then the linet grew more confused
and mixed, till at lan there w;is no separation
between tho advanced lines of both parties.
About Ibis time, one of our fellows, a rough,
?lld looking specimen, with his toes out of his
abms, his bushy h.iir protruding fr.un the topless
..rowe, of hi-" hat. ragged punts and nu coat, with
a dingv chocolate tint pervading his whole per
son, wiis rambling around generally, with noth
ing to give, but ready to accept anything, from a
newspaper to an overeo.it. Presently he espied
a bran new Belgian musket lying abandoned on
I he eround. Tnis was precisely ::ho thing our
Confederate Adohls wunted to complete bis equip
j mont and costume ; so ho picks it up and Marts
I off for bis lines. Just then he is spied by a Yan
i l;co Major on horseback-a fellow gut up in the
! highest style of military tailoring, with new coat
l-und trapping4, and, abero all, a superb pair of
patent leather top boots. He rides up quickly and
calls out rather sharply :
M pm down that musket, sir ! You cun't have
.bat."
Our Brummell gives him an edgewise glance
of incredulity, and making no reply, purines tha
?ven toner of his way. Fretted that his nppear
s.nco and authority should not have produced moro
effoct upon Ruch a looking fellow, tho Yunkeo rides
up closo to him and calls out vory curtly and
iternly
" Don't you know, sir, that you can't come with
in our lines and carry off guns under a flag of
truce? Put it down, sir, and go tack to your
regiment "
Mercury looks np at him kindly and inquiring
ly, ns if to be sittisfied that he U in earnest, and
shaking bis head at him. but without even slack
ening his pace, or woakcuing his bold of the
musket, coolly replies
Never mind, sir !-I'll shoot you to-morrow,
and get them bouta."
Do you think it will tnako much difference with
tint fellow whether tho government gives him
shoes or not?
A STIUITED Gmt..-Tho following anecdote,
canoorning ono of the fair daughters of Winches

being put upon record : Ono day during tho hard
winter jut', past, a Mis? Arnold applied to the

portance to the subsistence of her father's family
during the reiirn of that monster. "Are you

A California Story.
In the Northern pert of California is a stream
ulled Yuba rivor. Across it some enterprising
idividual built a bridge; and, on the banks
>inebody else built three er four hnujee. Tho
lhabitauts culled the pince Yuba Dam. Three
urs wore instantly erected, and tho " town" in
reascd rapidly. About noon ono cool day, a SO
lurver in the land passed this flourishing locali
r, and seeing a long legged specimen of humanity
i a red shirt smoking before one of the bars, ho
lus addrc.-sed him :
" Hello !"
" Hello!" replied the shirt with vigor, rcmov
ig the pipe from his mouth.
.' What placo is this ?" demanded the travoller,
hose name was Thomson.
The nuswer of the shirt was unexpected:
" Yuba Dam !"
There was about ftftv yards between them, and
ie wind WHS blowing. Mr. Thomson thought he
?d been mistaken.
" What did you say ?" he askod.
" Yuba Dum," replied the shirt cheerfully.
" What place is thi< ?" roared Mr. Thomson.
" Yuba Dam," replied the shirt in a slightly
cvuted tone of voice .
"Loukee hore !" yelled the irate Thomson, "I
iked you politely what this place was, why in
ie thunder don't you answer?" ?/
Thc stranger became excited: Ho rose and re
ied with tho voice of an eighty-pounder :
" Yuu-ba Dam ! Do you hear that?"
In ii minuto Thomson, burning with tho wrath
the righteous, jumped off his horse and ad
inced ou the stranger with an expression not to
i mistaken. The shirt anse uud asssumed a
isture of offense and dofunco.
Arriving within a yard of him, Thomson said :
" I ask you, for the last time, whut place is
is ?"
Putting his hand to his mouth, his opponent
ared :
" You-ba Dam !"
The next moinont they wore at it. First Thom
II was down ; then the shirt; then it was a dog
ll-ti.ut is, both were down. They rolled about
id kicked up a tremendous dust. They squirm
I around so energetically, that you'd thought
ey had a dozen legs instead of four. It looked
te a prise fight between two pugilistic centipedes,
inully they both rolled oa tho bank and into
e river. Thc water cooled the?. They went
iwu together, but came up separately, and pul
r tho shore. Both reachod it ?bout tho same
me, und Thomson scrambled up tho bank,
ountcd his war-like steed, loaving his foe goug
g tho mud out of one of bis eyes.
Having left the business portion of tho town
at is, tho corner where the three bars wcro kept
.he struck a house in tbo suburbs, before which
little girl about three yoars old was playing.
" What place is this, sissy?" be asked.
Tho little girl, frightened at tho drowned rat
piro wbicb thc stranger cut, streaked it for the
ios-i. Having reached the door she stopped
med, and squeaked-" Oobbeedam !"
"Good heavens!" said Thomson, digging his
