TEE NATIONAL FAST.
A rnociAYiATios n\* tuc prefidzst op the
UNITED STATES OF AMEBICA.
Wulkeas, The Senate of the United States, de
voutly recognizing the topreme authority and jnst
jrovorr.mcijt of Almighty God in all the affairs of
3ncn and of nai ions, has, by a resolution, requested
ihe President to designate and set apart a day for
Rational prayer and humiliation; and.
Whereas Uis the duty of nations as well as of .
3r.cn. to own their dependence upon the overruling
■power of God, to coniese their sins and transgres
sions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope
lhat genuine repentance will lead to mercy and
pardon, and to recognize the sublime truths an
xounced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all
history, that those nations only are bless ;d whose
Cod is the Lord;
And, Inasmuch, as we know that, by His divine
3aw, nations, like individuals, arc subjected to
punishments and chastisements in this world,
may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of
civil war, which now desolates the land, maybe
beta punishment inflicted upon ns for our pre
sumptuous sins, to the nccdfnl end of our national
Teformation as a whole People? Wc have been
She recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven.
Wc have been pieserved, these many years, In
peace ami prosperity. We hare grown in num
bers, wealth, and p jwor as no other nation has
ever grown. Bet we have forgotten God. We
bavc forgotten the gracious hand which preserved
f-s in peace, and multiplied and enriched and
strengthened ns; and we have vainly imagined, in
Ibc dcccltfnlncss of our hearts, that all these bles
sings were produced by some superior wisdom
Di d virtue of our own- Intoxicated with unbro
ken success, we have become too self-sufficient to
feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving
grace, tooprond to pray to the God that made ns!
It behooves ns, then, to bumble ours elves before
the offended Power, to confess our national sins,
tmd to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
yow, therefore, in compliance with the request,
and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I
Co by this my proclamation designate and set
rpt'.rt Thursday, the SOih day of April, 16G3, aa a
(lay of national humiliation, fasting, and prayer.
And I do hereby request all the people to abstain
cn that day from their ordinary secular pursuits,
and to unite, at their several places of public wor
ship aud their respective home®. In keeping the
day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble
dirchargc of the religious duties proper to lhat
rclcsui occasion.
All this being done, in sincerity and truth, Ictus
lion rcsthumbly In the hope, authorized by Divine
f cachings, that the united cry of the nation will be
beard on high,and answered with blessings,no less
than the pardon ©four national sins, and the resto-
Tation of our now divided and suffering country to
ste former happy condition of unity and peace.
In witness whereof,! have hereunto set my hand,
pud caused the seal of the United States to be af
fixed.

THE NEWS.
The news comes that Hooker's army is
an motion. It is light, and unsupported by
later dispatches, nevertheless we are in
clined to believe that there may be some
thing in it. TVe know the army to be all
ready. We know it is the policy of the
Administration to strike telling blows, and
we further know that Gen. Hooker is de
lermiued to injure and crush the enemy.
There are now no balky Generals at the
liund of our armies. The McClellans and
Buells and Porters are happily, if tardily,
got rid of. "We look for warm work soon.
The intelligence from Mexico is of the
3ret Importance.- The French troops un
der Forey, have entered the environs of
Puebla, and bold a portion of that city,
won by terrific fighting. In the attack on
one fort five hundred French men bit the
dust. But the beseiged Mexicans hold oat
Etifl.lv, and their dispatches claim that
ihty will yet beat back the foe. We hope
they may.
The dispatches from Hosecrans’ army
tcloken a movement of some kind, and
Strengthen previous reports of an engage
ment speedily to come off.
From Vicksburg, we have in the dis
patches and letters of our correspondents a
variety of interesting news.
We give in another part of this issue
Gen. Hooker's crushing testimony against
SlcClcllan. The friends of the latter, if he
lias any left, should get him passed upon
liy a commission set to try idiocy, as the
only method of saving him from the sen
tence of a court martial as a traitor. It is
impossible not to locale his strange con
duct under one or the other head. The
devotion of the Copperheads to Little Mac
is pretty conclusive proof of the way they
account for it
The raid into "Western Virginia has
faded out. It probably never had foimi
dablc dimensions. Our forces have made
that entire region abundantly secure.
THE KATIOXAL FAST.
Eighty-five fall years ol plenty and na
tional prosperity failed to teach ns, as a
people, the lesson-we have sadly learned
from two years of civil war. VTc forgot
Ihere was a reckoning day for nations as
Tor individuals. Indeed we seemed to for
get that an account was kept with nations
at all. The divine code of Justice and
Eight, we saw to be an excellent and safe
material for police regulations, were satis
fied that it should go hard with petty
thieves, and murderers, and invaders of
rights of property, for all this was to make
cur communities safe, and citizenship re
spectable.
But that our nation was being weighed
jn the balance, that rule and plummet
■were to try our institutions, and Justice
hew us to the line; this we did not see.
TVe gave to loyalty a national definition
Shocking to morality, offensive to civiliza
tion, and an outrage to Liberty. IVe seal

their bouse of torture with tracts on the
Ein of Paganism, and of Hindoo mothers
who throw babies into the Ganges that in
Virginia would be worth ten dollars
npiecc.
TVc ignored the sin of slavery because it
was national, and deemed that Provident*
would overlook it because it was Ameri
can. The war has taught us that there
can he no such exemption. When this
present season of national purification has
passed hv, there will be no occasion for
exemption. It is in such a period of trial
end retributive justice that the National
J’ast of to-day is appointed.
Let the people observe to-day the spirit

it, of the Committee on Invitations,
is to see to it that prominent individual*,
civilians, jurists, &c., &c., as well as the
representatives of cities, societies and pub
lic bodies of various kinds, arc solicited to
be present and add the weight of their in
fluence to this great national enterprise.
Some plan will have to lie adopted as to

be taken. In tbc river and harbor con
vention In 1847, the people and dele
gates from each State determined
how they would vote, each State
casting as many as they had delegates in
Congress. Probably this or some similar
arrangement will be made.
It is understood lhat the railways will

The different Committees arc all hard at
work, and letters from abroad and every
other indication give certain promise that
the Convention will be a great and a tri
umphant success.
KENTUCKY AND UNION
Judged by the tone of some of the skulk
ers from that State, who make themselves
as offensive as they dare, in Chicago, keep
ing a careful eye to Burnside’s recent or
der, the inference would be that these
refugees represent the prevalent type of
Kentucky loyalty. Judged by their exam
ple, this means running over to the safe
side, keeping up a loud growling at the
Union and Government, by way of bal
ancing accounts, and maintaining their
deposits with their scccsh brethren who
lake the more honest and manly coarse of
staying behind to fight it out. But there
is a better loyalty in Kentucky, that is
making sacrifices to achieve the redemp
tion of Kentucky, and the restoration of
the Union. The Union Democrats of the
Ninth Congressional district met in Con
vention at Catlettsburg, Ky., on the 23d
inst., and among other resolutions, passed
the following:
J.'ftofred, That it is the duty of all loyal men to
standby, uphold ami sustain tbc Federal Gorcm
meet In all Us constitutional efforts "to suppress
the wicked rebellion which threatens tbc subjuga
tion of our State, the overthrow of the Govern
ment, and the destruction of the liberties of the
ptoulc, and wo earnestly call upon the loyal men
of the district to respond promptly, chaerfully.
aud patriotically to the demand of the General
Government for the twenty regiments designed
especially for the protection and defense of Ken
tucky.
Jfaclred, That we arc for a vigorous, continu
ous, aud ceaseless prosecution of the war. until
the rebellion is crashed, and those in arms submit
to the laws end the national authority.
GSIEF FOB THE COPPERHEADS.
It 'vrlll'be a severe spring for Uie Copper
heads. Their day of wrath has already
begun. One of the Union county rioters,
of this State, who resisted the capture of
a deserter, a short rime since, near Jones
boro, has already come to grief in Cincin
nati, and by this time is at hard labor, un
der military guard, off Sandusky. Others
of the fraternity, operating in a little differ
ent part of the rebel field, are to be ignomin
iously shot. Green of Massac, who is soon
to be tried in Cairo under Gen. Burnside's
late order, not long since enforced bis
treasonable utterances by wearing a suit
of butternut cloth in his circuits. lie will
doubtless be sent where that style of ap
parel is in fashion. The end has arrived
with these men. Their punishment will
henceforth be speedy and signal
Our fffounied Infantry*.
Rebel telegrams, in speaking of the valiant
and successful movement of Gen. Dodge, the
commandant at Corinth, against the rebels In
North Mississippi, whom, after a severe fight,
he routed and drove “ from Bear Creek to
Crane Creek,” described it as composed of a
“heavy force of Yankee cavalry.” It was
not, however, a cavalry, hnt an infantry ex
pedition ; and the following extract from a
private letter of an oflicor engaged iu U, writ
ten on the eve of Its starting, will show the
origin of the rebel mistake, and will famish
an excellent idea in connection with such op
erations :
“I expect within a day or two to be out on
an expedition, the character of which I sur
mise to be - raid. Our regiment is all mounted
on mule.-, and a pretty dapping of ears I as
sure you there is. We are called the “ Jack
ass Brigade” by those who don’t admire ns,
but we chum to be Mulish Lancers. How
ever, I till you this is the true mode of light
ing these lellows down here. Celerity of
movement is indispensable, and although it
is no part of our intention to light on the
backs of these long cared quadrupeds, they
will carry us as tunny miles in a day as horses,
and thin we arc ficsh with our infantry drill,
n herein we claim to beat ’em all.”
Inlemperancc In flic Army-
Whisky by flic ‘•Barrel.**
The r* port of the Committee on the Con
duct of the War shows that Major General
Betgainan F. Butler was asked whether intox
icating liquors arc used in the army.
To this General Butler replied as follows:
“ They are, to a most woful extent.”
As an illustration, General Butler said:
We used to send a picket guard up a milo
and a half from Fortress Monroe. The men
would leave perfectly sober, yet every night
when taer came back we would have trouble
with them on account of their being drunk.
Where they got their liquor from, we could
not tell, Night alter night we instituted a
rigorous examination, but it was always the
same. The men were examined overand over
again, their canteens were inspected, and yet
we could find no liquor about them.
At last it was observed that they seemed to
hold th- 'rr guns up very straight, and upon an
examination being made, it was found that
t verv gun-barrel was filled with whiskey—and
It is not always the soldiers who do this.
I ordered a search of the Adams Express
Company, and examined the packages sent to
the soldiers by tbclr friends, and In one day I
have taken one hundred and fifty different
packages ofliquorfrom the trunks, boxes and
packages sent to the soldiers by their sympa
thizing friends at home.
Gen. Butler says he took measures to sup
press this abuse.

THE CLERICAL IMBROGLIO.
Cross-Examination or Mrs, S.
I*. Everett.
{From Our Own Reporter.]
Joliet, April 29, IS6-L
I did not write you yesterday, simply be
cause there was nothing new to report. The
cross-examination of Mrs. S. L. Everett,
which was commenced on Friday afternoon,
was resumed yesterday, but owing to her in
disposition she retired from the Conrt-room
about an hour after the opening. She has
been upon the stand during the entire ses
sions to day, and up to the hour of adjourn
ment had answered upwards of one hundred
questions, In which, however, very little is
brought ou-- that is not implied in her direct
testimony as published. So far from contra
dicting the statements made on her direct ex
amination. that is strengthened by every
answer given in reply to the questions by the
prosecution. I have as yet to notice the first
contradiction, during her entire examination;
hence it is useless to publish the ccofs•exami
nation, as it would be but a repetition of the
direct, In another forir.
Mrs. Eiciett’s testimony is all the more im
portant, because she has been on the most
intimate terms with lire. ‘White and her
family lor years, and still respects her; and
because she attends from a sense of justice to
the accused, rather than from any desire to
be meddlesome. Until she arrived in Joliet,
I understand that she was not aware whether
she was expected to serve the prosecution or
the defense. Since here, she has answered
interrogations from both, honestly and fear
lessly.
Certain parties here who took a very x>rom
inent interest in prosecuting this case at the
outset, (and one, in particular, who will figure
bllll more conspicuously before the public
are done with him,) have treated Mrs. Everett
very shabbily during her stay here, so much
so, that her husband has come and will re
main until the close of her examination, to
defend her from any further insults from pre
tended friends and relatives.
As an evidence of the perseverance on the
part ol ihe court to find and stop “ that leak,”
and thereby take away the reporter’s labors
from them, and the proceedings from the pub
lie, I will mention a circumstance that occur
red in the court-room. One ol the gas hom
ers had burned dimly, and bad been almost
useless; it was thus at the close of a certain
day, since which none but the elect bad any
light to enter the Star Chamber. The next
lime it was lighted, it burned bril
liantly, and the discovery was
made that a new burner had been
added. Here was a matter to investigate. If
it were possible that the reporters get their
sounds through the gas pipes, it was very
probable that the exchange was made by thorn,
the larger openings in the new burner giving
them a stronger force of sound from the
court room. It was suggested that the keys
of the two doors be compared to see if that
leading to the Clerk’s office would unlock the
other door, the trial was made, and possibly
the next step will be the arrest of the re
porters for burglary.
The nairation of the two “events” that
have transpired here recently -will tend to ex
hibit to what extent the public mind is en
gaged in considering the ecclesiastical pre
sentment and ideas thereby suggested- The
first is that a Justice was applied to by a far
mer, to know what punishment awaited an
individual guilty of arson. After carefully
considering the subject, and consulting his
boohs, the expounder of “legal lore (lower),
with an eye single” to justice, replied that,
“according to the law as set forth m the 13th
Illinois, and as decided by the highest legal
authority, he would be required to support
Uie child.” The’secoud illustration is the fact
•but a suit has been instituted against a well
known citizen, 50 years old, who is charged by
her parents with taking improper liberties
with a little girl of 10. 11c has already em
ployed counsel to make an effort to compro
mise the manor, but *‘no compromise,” Is the
reply of the prosecution.
The Court adjourned over until Friday
afternoon, that the National Fast Day may be
observed; though if the “humiliation” of
Themselves is what they aim to accomplish, the
attendants upon the Star Chamber can hardly
mend the matter by adjourning—as they can
-candy engage in any ceremonies more
deeply humiliating than this trial, as at pres
ent. Invisible.

It is reported on doubtful authority that
Gen, Butler has been offered the command at
Charleston, and has declined it.
Gen. Kite Henry Warren has been cleared of

Dr. Sunderland, Pastor of the largest and
one of the most fashionable congregations
here, is to preach a Fast Day sermon to-mor
row, taking strong Autl-Slavcry grounds. In
announcing his intention last Sunday, he stat
ed that what he had to say might drive him
from his pulpit or tear the congregation to
pieces, but at this crisis he did not believe the
pulpit should be silent. The forthcoming ser

The report that the Treasury Department
has sent R.J.Walkcr,orany other agent,abroad
to negotiate loans, is contradicted. Acting
Secretary Harrington says there is no author
itv for the statement.
The report that the Clerk of the District
Conrt at Key West has absconded with
$30,000, is contradicted by the fact that the
Attorney General has a business letter from
Lim of a later date than that of the letter
making the assertion.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
decided that all contracts for loans, money or
cuncncy on gold at par over three days, must
be stamped to the amount of half of one per

at six per cent.; that a loan on gold or silver
coin over par is void; and that one of gold or
silver coin at par is subject only to duty Im

Dr. Dorsey, a prominent Democrat of this
city, formerly of Maryland, was arrested this
afternoon by the mUilary authorities for trea
eonablc correspondence n ith tbc rebels, and
encouraging desertions from the army. The
arrest of a gang of conspirators at Louisville,
Ky., disclosed this treason, and upon search

desperate attempt was made by the Copper
heads to get out a writ of fialuas corpus, but
before it could bo served he was half-way to

THE WAR IN MISSONI.
INCIDENTS OFMAEMADME'S
RETREAT.
Gallant Behavior of Onr Troops.
The Rebel Scheme Knocked in the
Head.
St. Lons, April 29.—The correspondent of
of the Democrat , with Gen. Van Dcvcr’s com
mand, says: At about 10 o’clock Sunday
night, a rebel regiment, under Col. Ilinton,
the advance 'guard of Marmaduke’a army,
which was- then retreating from Capo Girar
deau, was surprised, three miles west Jack
son, while cooking supplies ond loitering
around their camp-fires. Two small how
itzers, loaded with musket halls, and hauled
by liand within thirty yards of them, were
simultaneously discharged, killing a large
lumber. At the same time the Ist lowa car
ally, charged them, nnd not a man of their
entire regiment (it is supposed) escaped. All
■who were not killed, were taken prisoners.
Ail their horses, camp equipage, and several
thousand dollars’ worth of stolen plunder,
were captured.
Early the next morning, Gen. Van Deter
advanced and saw the main body of the ene
my in full retreat. He immediately followed,
keeping up a constant artillery tire on their
rear. At S o’clock, Gen. McNeill joined Gen.
Van Dover, and the combined force continued
the pursuit.
Firing was heard all the afternoon, and it Is
scarcely possible that the rebels am escape
with their booty. Gen. Harmadnkc’s com
mand consists of Missourians, Arkansans and
Texans. They left Powhattan, Arkansas, on
the 15th, ostensibly to occupy Pilot Knob,
and to mako Cape Girardeau os a base of
operations for the projected expedition under
Gen. Price, this summer, but really for plun
der. The force was composed of four bri- 1
gades, under Gen. Shelby and Cols. Burbridgo
and Greene. They had ten pieces of artillery.
The let Nebraska infantry, under Col. Ban
ner, did most of the fighting in the rebel at
tack on Cape Girardeau, and behaved with
great gallantry. They were posted in the
woods, about n mile from town, and kept
Mannadnke’s whole force in check, while the
guns from the forts played upon them, doing
considerable execution. The rebel batteries
did no injury to the town. The enemy’s loss
is about GO killed and 200 wounded.
(Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.)
St. Dorns April 29,18C3.
Since the battle back of Capo Girardeau,
affairs in this State have settled down Into
their usual tameness. Marmadukc Is rapidly
retreating, abandoning plunder, horses and
equipments. He told a farmer with whom
he breakfasted, on Monday morning, that he
would return with Price, at the head of 30,000
men, In a few weeks, to redeem the State.
The refugees, who came to this city from
Cape Girardeau, arc on their way back to that
place. Five rebel recruiting officers have
lately been captured between Lexington aud
Sedalia. One of them is said to have been in
St. Louis for a long time.
Officers have been designated to travel on
the Missouri River boats, to prevent rebels
from traveling up aud down the river at
pleasure. It Is reported here that the order
to close stores at 4 o'clock, and resume militia
drilling, will bo put in force again. Business
of all kinds will be generally suspended to
morrow and churches opened.

special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
Cincinnati, April 29,
Tbc General Court Martial, ot which Gen.
R. B. Porter is the presiding officer, is still in
session here; and therefore a large number of
spies, soldiers of the rebel army, persons
charged with harboring deserters, and who
have expressed sympathy with the rebel
cause, to be brought before the court for
trial.
This Court yesterday found ‘William F.
Corbin and T. G. McGraw, of the Confederate
army, guilty of the charge of recruiting men
in Pendleton county, Ky., under a commis
sion from Humphrey Marshall, and ot carry
ing information to the rebels, and sentenced
them to he shot.
Gen. Burnside to-day approved the finding
and sentence of the Court, and ordered that
the two prisoners be sent in Irons to the
Commander at Johnson’s Island, and that
the sentence be executed on the 15th of May.
George Dodge, of Hamilton, Butler county,
Ohio, was tried before the same Court for
publicly declaring sympathy with the rebels,
contrary to order No. 3S, and assaulting a
loyal citizen who reprWed him for his ex
pressions, and was found guilty and sentenced
to confinement at hard labor on Johnson’s
Island for lonr months.
Wm. McElroc, a citizen of Jasper county,
Illinois, was tried on the charge of aiding the
escape of deserters, near Jonesboro, Illinois,
on the 16th of April, and the Court found
him guilty and imposed a flue of SSOO
on him, and confinement until paid. Both of
these sentences were also approved by Gen.
Burnside, and Dodge and McElroe were to
day sent to Johnson’s Island to serve out
their sentences.
The knowledge that these trials are in pro-
gress has the most salutary ctfoct on our
scccsh sympathizers. Gen. Burnside assured
two very prominent Democratic politicians
of the butternut stripe, whom be sent for
yesterday, that they need expect no leniency
from him, for if he caught them expressing
sympathy for the rebels, he ghonld not hesi
tate to try them by Court Martial at once.
Several regiments of Ohio troops have been
sent from different points In Ohio to Wheel
ing, to protect that place.

THE WAR IN TENNESSEE.
[Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
ilrnrnEEscoEo, April 29,1503.
The rebels hare made no demonstration of
importance to-day. A small squad of cavalry
appeared upon the Manchester road, and
frightened a courier, who brought In news
that our pickets had been attacked. Colonel
L. Stanley’s brigade, of Ncglcy’s division,
•was hurried out the fronton double-quick
lime, bm found no enemy. I deem it certain,
however, that the enemy’s whole A line
has ;becn advanced, and tha,t he Is now
on the south side of Buck River. Price has
come by the way of Decatur, If ho is here at
nil. The only wonder is, had he succeeded
in crossing the Arkansas, swollen as it must
be at this time of the year.
The resignation of Major L. Stout of the

There has been rain to-day.
Wasihsgtov, April 29.—Letters from East
ern Tennessee say that there arebut few rebel
tfoons there, who could be easily driven out
br 5 000 troons from oar own side. They
Mill tyrannically oppress the great mass of
the people, who remain loyal.
1 Mi'KriiKESiiOßO, April 39.—A fictitious ex-
cltcmmt was produced to night’by reports'
that the enemy intended to attack Bosccrans
Immediately.
The facta derived from the best official sour
ces are, that onr scouts report the advance of
the enemy to Beach Grove and Wartrace, nine
hours match from this point.
It is probable that the enemy advanced m
force, without artillery, to counteracts sup
posed general advance of this army; at the
tamo time they maintained a reconnolssanco
in force.
They have been reinforced somewhat, but
no military man here dare hone for such good
fortune as an attack upon ‘the army of the
Cumberland at Murfreesboro. No patriot
could desire a better thing for the Union
cause.

Four miles from Carthage, Louisiana, v
April 21,1663. )
Our army, in good part, is below Vicks
burg. They didn’t run the blockade, as did
the gunboats, hut they arc Acre, : and WR be
elsewhere in time.
The levee along the (Walnut) bayou, is al]
that saves us from being flooded, but this is
good and is watched along the whole route.
The health of the army here seems to be
good, I hear no complaint, and all the men
look hearty, and seem in most excellent
spirits.
The overseer’s house, iu which we arequar
tered, is just inside the Icyco. From the
porch we look across to the water that seems
level with our heads, but it is not. A steam
boat is now lying at headquarters just below
us. It came out of the river yesterday and
will transport onr troops to Carthage.
The inhabitants bare mostly left their
homes and gone to the interior, with the
greater pari of their slaves.
The fields have some of them been planted
with corn, which is up, growing richly. Beef,
poik, pig, lamb, etc., is abundant all around
us. There Is also a good supply of corn and
“ fodder,” com blades. This expedition cuts
off one of the great sources of supply of the
rebel army.
Gen. Carr is a most excellent gentleman,
md bis reputation as an officer is enviable.
He is affable aud refined, as well as sensible
on points of policy. The regiments of his di-
vision arc mostly old ones that have won
high praise, both for discipline and valor.
I have no right to promise what will be
done, but the people may rest assured that
something is on the tapis.

in which the rebels were badly beaten and
driven back.
[From the Wheeling Intelligencer, April 27-3
It appears to bo pretty well settled that a
considerable rebel force, chiefly cavalry, has
made sudden advance on our forces occupying
Bevcrlv. Cob Latham has fallen back to
Buckbatinon. The latest intelligence that
seems to lu* reliable np to the present hour of
writing, i.- that the rebels have advanced their
outside pickt-tstoPhillippi, thirty-three miles
this side of Beverly, and but sixteen miles
f'-oro Grafton. The rebel force is reported as i
consisting of Imboden’e, Bill Harper’s, and 1
Jeff. Jenkins’s gangs, numbering, it is said,
between four and live thousand, with half a
dozen pieces of artillery. We believe there is
but little reliability in these statements. No
doubt the numbers of the enemy have been
greatly exaggerated by alarmed couriers.
New York, April 20.—A Pittsburgh tele
gram, to-dav. says the latest Inlclligenccfrom
flic scene of the rebel raid reports that the
rebel force is onlv t>oo strong, and It is sup
posed to be a party of guerillas, who have

Conflicting Rumors—The Mexi-
can Version.
New Toek, April 29.—The steamer Shell
drake, from Havana 23d, arrived at &• o’clock
this evening.
Vera Cruz dates of the 13th, per a French
war steamer, state that Puebla was complete
ly surrounded on the 23d ult. The attack
commenced on the 27th, and the Penitentiary
was carried by assault. On the 31st, Fort St
Xavier was also taken. On the Slst, after
entering the city, the French forced through
the first barricades of the two principal stTeets
leading to the plazo and cathedral, both of
which are fortified.
The soldiers then entered tbc houses, and
aided by sappers and miners, passed from ono
Louse to another, and on the Sd of April had
thus worked their way to within 100 metres
of the Plaza.
Up to that date the French hadlostsGoto
CGQ killed and wounded.
It Is estimated that the entire force of Or
tega in the city was 25,000.
The bridge over the Kio Prieto was held by
the French, thus preventing Comoafort
with 12,000 reinforcements from crossing.
Another arrival from Vera Cruz the 16th
states that a mail from Puebla had been re
ceived, containing advices of tbo capture of
the Plaza and Cathedral, bnt the city was still
commanded by the forts Guadalonpeand Loe
reto, but nothing is said as to their opening
fire on the French.
Puebla was filled with barricades. One
third of the city Is claimed by the French to
be in their possession, as the result of thir
teen days’ fighting.
Sa>‘ Francisco, April 29. —French papers
publish letters Irom the city of Mexico, to
the £th inst., representing that Forey is in
possession of the environs of Puebla, and mas
ter of the communications and fortified works
commanding that city. He continued ad
vancing slowly bat surely, without sacrificing
his soldiers.
Intelligent persons think Forey has maneu-
Tcred to enclose the Mexican army in Puebla,
and Trill ultimately capture them all, more
than twenty thousand in number.
Mexican official accounts, of the same date,
take an encouraging view, and say the be*
sieged forces are fully able to repulse tbc
French, their principal fortification still re
maining Intact.
There are sixty-four fortified buildings in
the city, including three fortresses of great
strength. The Mexican soldiers have shown
remarkable bravery. The French lost over
fire hundred killed and wounded in attacking
one fortification.

Hiltos IIKA.D, 8.C., April2o,lßs-1.
Tho second expedition has not yet sailed, j
but is ready at any moment to receive the |
order. The same transports which have been I
in and oat of the harbor so many times, are {
again laden with troops, not quite as jubilant ,
or cheerful as when they set sail three weeks
since, but not by any means hopeless or dis
heartened. The army in tho Department ot
the South has not yet bad Its mettle fairly
tried. The battles on James Island and at
Pocatallgo, although by some called repulses,
demonstrated that iflcdby competent officers
no fears need be entertained that victory will
await them if not overwhelmingly outnum
bered.
The Monitor fleet together with the army
Is also ready. The Patapsco and the Mon
tank are now moving out of the harbor,
bound for Folly Island. Before the close of
this week, aU the Iron clads In this depart
ment again will be within the bar at Charles
ton. When the attack will be reopened, It is
difficult to say; but that another and more
desperate engagement, in which both the
army and the navy will tiffs time participate,
is near at baud, no one can doubt. Charleston
must be in our possession sooner or later; if
not within the next six weeks, it will not bo
within sis months. Hot weather Is almost
upon ns. Troops on the march already seek
the shade; overcoats and blankets drop by
the wayside.
From Fdisto and Stono this morning we
Icam that the rebels are strengthening their
lines of earthworks upon Jolura and dame's
Islands, arc mounting the forts along Edisto :
and Stono Rivers, and are daily growing more
belligerent and manifesting a disposition to
take the offensive themselves. Deserters re
port that troops from Savannah are being sent
to Charleston and put to work upon earth
works along Wanpoo Creek and S'ono River,
and that an effort is being made to moke
Charleston Impregnable.
They also state that we might have taken
Savannah daring the week upon which we at
tacked Fort Sumter, if we had made that at
tack a feint and directed the main one upon
Savannah.
The negro brigade is still doing picket duty
on Port Royal Island. The moment the rebels
on the opposite side ol Beaufort River dis
covered that the negroes were In front of
them, in direct violation of an agreement not
to lire upon pickets, commenced firing upon
the negroes, and wounded two ot them. The
moment Gen. Hunter learned what they were
about, he gave orders to the negroes to return
the fire vigorously, and ehoot every rebel sol
dier they taw at sight. The order was quickly
obeved, and several Butternuts were seen to
bite the dust. For the past few- days we have
not heard of any more firing upon negro i
pickets.
From Florida we learn that there are no re
bels in arms cast of the St. John's River. Col.
Putnam of the 7th N. H., in command at St.
Augustine, is to return to Hilton Head and
take command of a brigade in the division of
Gen. Terry. A sufficient force will still be'
left at St. Augustine and Fernandlna, to hold
them a gainst any force the rebels can bring to
bear against them.
A small craft, supposed to be a gunboat,
escaped from Savannah harbor, through War
saw Sound, day before yesterday.
It is through this passage 'Com. Tatnall
threatens to run out the ram Savannah, and
attack the wooden fleet in Port Royal harbor.
This mm is said to be something like the Keo
kuk, without her turrets, and will undoubt
edly share the fate of that unfortunate vessel,
if she ventures to intrude herself among the
mcn-of-war off Hilton Head. We have Moni
tors here, too, who can still fight a very pret
ty duel with Hit* pet ot the rebel Commodore.

KNIGHTS OF THE GOLDEN
CIRCLE REJECTS
THE LAW.
Blot In Selintiburg, Union County,
Pennsylvania*
[From the Middlchnrp \Pa.> ‘Weekly Tribune,
April 22 ]
It becomes our painful duty to chronicle
one of the saddest, and, at the same time, one
of the most daring and damnable attempts at
dtfving the laws'" anil the Government that
has*yet occurred in this section of the country.
To make the matter clear, it becomes ne*
cessarj’ to enter somewhat into detail.
When tbc draft was made in October hist, a
young man, by tbc name of James Hummel,
of Mlddleercek township, voluntarily enter
ed Into an arrangement with Mr.’AzarlaU
Krceger, to go as a substitute for the latter,
who was drafted into the service of the Uni
ted States. This arrangement was made.
Hummel look the money, oral least a part of
It, and went to Harrisburg, where he was
sworn into the service of the United Slates,
aud Mr. Krceger accordingly discharged.
Hummel remained at Harrisburg a short
time, and then deserted, thereby defnvudlug
the Government out of the services of Mr.
Krceger, to which it was call led, aud also
Mr. Krceger out of his money, by not giving
value therefor.
This man Hummel, together with some
other deserters, since the time of their deser
tion, have been defying the authorities and
threatening to kill any* man who should at
tempt to arrest them. They, however, found
U convenient to secret themselves whenever
the guards w» re about, which fact was duly
heralded by the Tory organ, the Sellusgrove
'J'imfs,
Thus things went on until last Saturday,
when Captain Cox, who is stationed at this
place, by some mcans'lcarncd that there was
to be a funeral at New Berlin, at which it was
quite probable that Hummel would be pres
ent. He accordingly ordered Sergeant Kep
bart and an assistant to New Berlin, very
reasonably presuming that no resistance
would bc’made, and bloodshed avoided.
But he was sadly mistaken; these despera
does were fully armed for any emergency.
The Sergeant, with his assistant, entered the
church and walked right up to Hummpl. tap
ped him on the shoulder, and commanded him
to surrender, upon which Hummel drew a
revolver and fired two loads at Mr. Kephart,
when the Sergeant tired, hitting Hummel in
the side, the ball passing, it is said, through
his lungs.
He, however, discharged two more barrels
at the Sergeant after he was wounded. While
this scene was being enacted, the friends of
Qnmmcl, some fifteen or twenty in number,
rushed upon the officer with revolvers, and
some with their fists, beating and clubbing
him and his assailant, and firing their pistols
at them.
We are told that there were some eleven
shots fired during the melee, of which the
officers, in discharge of their duty, fired only
four. , .
Sergeant Kephart and his aid made their
escape from the enraged rebels without in
jury, except a little scratch upon the knuckle
of one of the fingers of the Sergeant; two
balls, however, passed through his coat, and
one rested In the lining of his vest, which he
extracted, on Sunday, without much pain.
The last news wo have from Hummel is, that
he Is not expected to live.

Kidnapping.
[from the Louisville Journal, 271h. J
The reference made toasaflalrat Browning's
Hotel, in Jeffersonville, a few evenings since,
in onr local column this morning, seems to r
have been misunderstood by some, or perhaps
we tailed to convey the fiict that the Kidnap-;
pors alluded to arc in the habit of running off
free negroes, and have recently employed free ;
negroes to work for them at night, when
they would drop In about midnight, and after
handcuffing them, carry them to this city, re
present the negroes as fugitive slaves and
claim the reward. We are acquainted with
the names of these men, and have known
their transaction?in this line of business for
several years.
