shed but set free." The people will be the only sufferers. As regards general affairs, everything remains in a quiescent attitude. A determined attack has recently been made on Fort Pillow, and a fight is pending at Vicksburg. These two events, should they prove successful to the Federal arms, may change the policy of Halleck with reference to the coming battle. The opening of the Mississippi would enable him to throw a heavy body of troops into Memphis, and thence upon the left of Beauregard. In fact, the Federal General is reported to have remarked that he would take Corinth without firing a gun. It may, therefore, be his design to await the demonstrations on the river. These are the only contingencies on which he can depend to carryout the programme thus enunciated. The probabilities of a Federal success on the river is somewhat in their favor. According to the latest accounts, a strong force has landed at Osceola, which is near the point where the Yankee gunboats are

ng intellect — an intellect as fertile in resources as his will is swift to execute what his judgment has determined. We have no more formidable enemy. The appointment just announced in the Richmond papers of so conspicuous an officer as Gen Beauregard to the command of the Department of South Carolina and Georgia indicates, we may remark, the presence in that department of no inconsiderable force, and may either prognosticate a serious attempt to eject as from our positions at Hilton Head r positions at Hilton Head and Beaufort, or show that the rebels anticipate a vigorous effort at the reduction of Charleston and Savannah. It sets at rest, also, the foolish stories which have been current of Gen. Beauregard's withdrawal from the Southern services. The truth in regard to him we believe to be that he has simply been at the Springs in Alabama recruiting his strength, impaired by that memorable Western campaign in which Gen.
