— or, which is the same thing, they are forbidden to invoke the blessings of Heaven upon a gallant army in expelling such a foe from their midst. In forbidding us to pray for the success of our, cause, they require us to pray for the success of theirs. Office Mil'y Comm'dt of New Orleans. City Hall, May 28, 1862. hereafter, in the churches in the city of New Orleans, prayers will not be offered up for the destruction of the Union or Constitution of the United States, for the success of the rebel armies, for the Confederate States, so called, or any officers of the same, civil or military, in their official capacity. While protection will be afforded to all churches, religious houses and establishments, and religious "services are to be had as in times of profound peace," this protection will not be allowed to be perverted to the upholding of treason or advocacy of it in any form. Where thus perverted, it will be withdrawn. G. F. Shepley, Military Commandant.

an to be entertained that if we went much further we would not be able to turn round. At a sharp elbow we came on an intricate spot, but piles had been driven to mark the channel. On our starboard side was a high bluff, on the summit of which stood a comfortable locking house, with the usual appurtenances of a residence of some pretension. Some gentlemen and two or three good looking ladies were standing under an open porch in front of the house, gazing at the novel eight of two armed United States steamers passing so high up their narrow and tortuous stream; and, presuming that they were unacquainted with the intricacies of the channel at that spot, well might they look, in expectation, perhaps, of some catastrophe.--The piles were safety passed, when suddenly the leadman, from three and a half fathoms, called two, than one and a half, then one fathom, when bump went the bottom of the Stepping Stones on something hard — probably what is called a "snag" or "sawyer," in the Mississi

of the Yankee camp with their tents, equipage of the field stores, baggage and cannon. This, surely, could not have been to them a very alarming sight. A Yankee Colonel, who was brought in Tuesday morning expressed his surprise at seeing such an enormous number of our troops dressed in Yankee overcoats. "Everyone came off a dead Yankee," said some person to whom he expressed his surprise. We ourselves saw half a dozen splendid br- fieldpieces going up Main street last Monday, all marked U. S. A., (Uncle Sam's Artillery we suppose,) and all captured in that battle. To talk about their beating us when we have their cannon, when we have thousands of their rifles and muskets, when we have their stores, and their tents, and their letters, and their portfolios, and have dressed a whole brigade in their overcoats, requires an amount of brave nobody but a Yankee ever had. Once for all, the calm equanimity of our citizens that day was above all praise. We who saw it, knew it. A disti

cenes like these. They are not only utterly discreditable in themselves, but they endanger the safety of the army. If the roll were called, in every company, both before and after the battle, and the absentees without leave held to a strict account for their absence, it would go far to remedy the evil.--The soldiers should be taught what many of them do not seem to know, that all the arms, munitions, and other property found deserted by the enemy on the field of battle, belong to the Confederate States, and that to take them away, and appropriate them, is to plunder the lawful owner. There has not been fought a battle, in which we were victorious, since the beginning of the war, in which the arms of the vanquished have not been almost entirely appropriated by private individuals. In a vast number of instances, this has been done, not by soldiers who fought, and for whom there might be some semblance of excuse, but by stragglers and camp-followers. The Government scarcely gained an

itement and prevent unfounded rumors gaining currency, we have obtained the following from official sources. Saturday morning the frigate Santee had a white flag up as a signal of a desire to communicate with the shore. During the day a messenger came ashore, bearing the following demand: U. S. Frigate Santee, Off Galveston, Texas, May , 1862. To the Military Commandant commanding Confederate forces, Galveston, terms. Sir: In a few days the naval and land forces of the United States will appear off the town of Galveston to enforce its surrender. To prevent the effusion of blood and of property which would result from the bombardment of your town. I here by demand the surrender of the place with all its fortifications and batteries in his vicinity, with all arms and munitions of war. I trust you will comply with this demand. I am, respectfully, &c., Henry Eagle, Captain Comm'g the U. S. Naval. Galveston, Texas. The bearer of the above message

as in the Austrian army as a Captain of Cavalry for eight years. On the breaking out of the Italian revolution, he joined the Piedmontese army of Victor Emanuel, and distinguished himself at Solferino and Magenta. He landed at Palermo with Gen. Garibaldi, and fought with some credit to himself through the Sicilian and Italian war, up to the final expulsion of Francis II from Gaeria. These facts we have from a Colonel under Garibaldi, who served with the prisoner, and who has long been in the military service of our Government. The officer in question represents "Sir Percy Wyndbain," to be quite a handsome fellow, with VanDyke style of features, light hair and beard, and florid complexion, and about thirty five years of age. He says the Baronet came to the United States, a mere military adventurer, and was availed of by Lincoln, who gave him the command of a fine cavalry regiment. The roving Englishman can now add to his experience something of life in a Southern military prison.

The Petersburg Council has adopted measures to provide transportation, food and other essentials for the soldiers from that city now in the lines near Richmond. A Yankee prisoner, who escaped from his guard at Montgomery, Ala., a few days ago, was recaptured by Hon. Wm. L. Yancey on his plantation, and carried back to his old quarters. The Lynchburg Republican says that the re-mails of the gallant Ashby were interred with military honors in the University burying ground near Charlottesville, on Saturday last. The workmen in the Confederate States Sword history at Washington, N. C., have contributed some for the benefit of the wounded in the 18th North Carolina regiment.
