ather Mullon, St. Patrick's Church, N. O. The Mississippi Valley. The Memphis Appeal learns from an officer whose position gives him many facilities for obtaining correct information, that General Van-Dorn is rapidly concentrating his forces, and will immediately move to Pocahontas. His object is to move against New Madrid, and assist in defending the great Valley of the Mississippi. It is far more important that we should hold the Mississippi, than the hills and swamps in Southwestern Missouri. It may not be strictly proper (says the Appeal) to refer to movements of this character, but our military authorities will see the importance of quieting the apprehensions of the people of the Southwest. We have never participated in the uneasiness felt by many for the safety of the Valley; but that considerable alarm has prevailed in many quarters, which it were well to allay, cannot be denied. Having arrested the further progress of Gen. Curtis in the wilds of the West; we

A Delectable Scheme. The Paris Patric says a British official has expressed the opinion that a settlement of the American difficulties will take place before the first of June on the following basis: The Yankees are to have Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. There are to be no custom houses along the line. Slavery is to be extinguished in thirty years. That is to say, the Yankees are to have all they wish, and we are to have nothing; for it is quite evident that they are fighting for this line, knowing perfectly well that subjugation is impossible. Little do they care to whom the Cotton States, and Virginia and North Carolina, may belong, provided they be allowed to retain the market for their manufactures which they had before the war, and to have free access to our cotton and tobacco, without being subjected to the payment of custom-house duties. So far as the Yankees are concerned, they would doubtless be glad enough to make such a peace. But, we suggest, it requires two

nsas, did they resolve upon something desperate. Sending forward 2,500 brag cavalry, they made, with four pieces of artillery, a dash upon our rear guard; but nobly were they met, as one hundred and twenty-two graves at Sugar creek, in this State, can attest. We lost five killed and seventeen wounded. In two hours from that time we took up a position for a fight at a place called Cross Hollows, but the enemy did not dare to approach; for have we heard anything definite about them. Our army is encamped about 35 miles north of this. I have not heard a word from Missouri since September, and at present an insurmountable barrier has to be passed before I can hope to see the loved ones there. Ere you get this the battle will be fought, if the Federals will face the music. I hope the God of batties will smile down on us; and oh; may He grant that I may once more see you all safe and sound. They are calling me to take my place in the army, and I must close. * * * J. T. B.M

His own house, in Hannibal, was one of the first the invaders visited. They took him prisoner, and stole several of his servants. The latter were subsequently restored, but again taken away. He refused to take the oath of allegiance, but agreed not actually to take up , but is at liberty to engage in the recruiting service for Price's army, and it is for that purpose that he visits New Orleans. He states that, in his opinion, Missouri would give to-day, if entirely unshackled, a hundred thousand majority in favor of the Confederate States. In coming through Arkansas he met men flocking to the
