(Cheers,) Sir, I cannot bring myself to behave but that the Government of the United States, whenever they had notice of this order, must of their own accord have stamped it with their censure and condemnation. (Hear, hear.) We received yesterday a dispatch from Lord Lyons, communicating from the newspapers the paragraph read by the honorable baronet — namely, the order of General Beauregard animadverting on, and giving the text of, the proclamation to which reference has been made.

The latter had crossed at Bottom's Bridge and at New Bridge, but instead of attacking the town from the southeast, as these move the progress of McClellan.

It is in order to transport these cattle across the river that Vicksburg is so resolutely holding out. By this time Fasragut has probably given a good account of that obstinate city, and not another head of cattle will cross the river. The result will

man by a chance shot, and the noble craft again came out almost unscathed — her injuries being of too trifling a character to prevent her from going into another fight immediately. Our Southern exchanges furnish some items of interest. The Yankees in the vicinity of Memphis are the barbarities of their brethren elsewhere. The Grenada (Miss) Appeal relates the following cases of cruelty: Among the instances related to us, we may mention that of Mr. B. B. Waddell, aid to Gen. Beauregard. A Federal Major, with two wagons and a troop of soldiers, went to his house in the country, stripped it of its furniture, taking provisions, family supplies, and everything he fancied and considered necessary for setting himself up house keeping in town.
