Tragic affair. --The N. O. Delta gives an account of a deplorable affair at Lake Providence, Louisiana: Mr. Thomas C. Scarborough, a citizen of that place, was shot and doubtless killed by Mr. Abram Bass, a planter. It seems that Bass, while under the influence of intoxication, ordered his wife to leave their common home; she did so, and went to the house of Mr. Scarborough, one of her husband's most intimate friends. Bass subsequently proceeded, at night, to the same house, and calling for Mr. Scarborough, demanded to know if the latter was "harboring his wife. " Some words ensued, during which a pistol went off accidentally in Mr. B's pocket. Mr. Scarborough then turned to go into the house, with the remark that if Mr. B. would wait, he would bring a candle and conduct him to his wife's room. It would seem that about this moment Mr. Bass drew a pistol and shot at Mr. Scarborough. The ball struck Mr. S. in the back of the head, and came out in the temple. The wife of

After the batteries at Warrenton shall have been reduced, the whole force will be first sent against Port Hellion. It is also stated that the small gunboat fleet has reached Yasoo river, by the way of Union Lake, and are "playing the mischief" in the rear of Vicksburg. It is also reported that some of the Union boats have reached Red river via Lake Providence. It is also reported that serious disasters have happened to the Union forces and troops, and that gunboats had been captured; but these rumors are not credited. On the 25th ult. 80 rebel cavalry went inside the Federal lines on the Strasburg road, near Winchester, and, after skirmishing with the infantry pickets, in which two were wounded, retired, after capturing a cavalry picket and twelve then.
