A proper Retaliation. --The subjoined letter from Gen. Hindman (a vague report of whose capture is confirmed in the Northern papers) to Gen. Curtis, the Federal commander in Arkansas, is written in the proper spirit. It is dated Little Rock, June 8: General: I have received information that you have in prison at Batesville certain citizens of Izani county, Arkansas, captured a few days since by a attachment of your cavalry, who are charged with firing upon your men, while attempting to arrest them, and whom it is your intention to hang as out-laws. Without stopping to inquire whether they did actually fire upon your soldiers or not, I assert it to be the duty, as well as the right, of every citizen of this district to fire upon the soldiers of the United States Government, so long as that Government persists in the invasion of their homes, and they have the arms to defend those house with; and in the performance of that duty, I shall sustain them at every hazard.

The United States furnishing arms to Mexico. --The Havana correspondent of the Charleston Courier sends that paper the following piece of intelligence under date of June 8th: The Captain-General and the French Consul here have received intelligence that among the spoils captured by the French at Puebla was a box containing the full correspondence between the Mexican and United States Governments, where it appears that the latter has been furnishing the Mexicans with men, money and arms, to be used in their contest with the French. The correspondence has been immediately forwarded to France, and it is not improper to presume that it will greatly affect the amicable relations between the Emperor and the Yankees. This information is reliable. It comes to me from the officials I have named, through a Southern gentleman who had it from them personally. Among the prisoners captured by the French at Puebla were fifteen hundred Californians, who with a body of Spanish deserter

The occupation of the City of Mexico by the French. --President Juarez and Cabinet moved from the City of Mexico to San Louis de Potosi, and the troops were withdrawn from the capital, on the 31st of May. --On the 5th of June the French occupied it: The force that garrisoned the City of Mexico, said to number twenty thousand men, was withdrawn to the Chernavaca plaza and to intermediate points around the city, for the purpose of carrying on guerilla warfare. The whole French army was expected to occupy the capital on the 8th of June. Three newspapers had been established favoring the policy of the French. One of these papers states that the occupation of the city of Mexico settles with absolute certainty that it is necessary to extirpate by the root the democratic element, and no longer need there be even a dream of popular sovereignty. Gen. Forty has issued a decree confiscating the property of all parties who have been or are in arms against the French.

ater, sixty of Col. Gates's Missourious went up last night and set fire to it. It is still burning. * * * * * * * Friday, June 5.--Sharpshooting and cannonading about as usual. The Federal are using the spade pretty extensively; they get a little nearer every day, but they try to keep out of night of our sharpshooters. June 6.--Some thief stole my boots last night; I hope they (the boots) will get shot to-day. Shetled as pretty heavy last night, but no body hurt. Monday, June 8.--We have had but little news from the outside. Heard cannonading up the river yesterday morning, this is the first certain proof that we have friends in striking distance. A man had his hold, one arm, and one leg blown off with a piece of a shell in our camp yesterday. The Yankees are killing quite a number of our mules and horses; they are hauled and thrown into the river every night. June 10.--Had a fine rain to-day. Gen. Pemberton has pressed all the tobacco in store and in the

legraphed to the Secretary of War in response to his inquiry, saying "my only plan is to relieve Vicksburg. My force is far too small for the purpose. Tell me if you can in crease it, and how much." To which he answered, on the 5th, "I regret inability to promise more troops, as we have drained resources even to the danger of several points. You know best concerning Gen. Bragg's army; but I fear to withdraw more. We are too far outnumbered in Virginia to spare any." &c., &c. On the 8th June the Secretary was more explicit, if possible. He said: "Do you advise more reinforcements from Gen. Bragg? You, as commandant of the department, have power so to order, if you in view of the whole case, so determine." On the 10th June, you answered that it was for the Government to determine what department could furnish the reinforcements; that you could not know how Gen. Bragg's wants compared with yours; and that the Government could make the comparison. Your statements, that the

carry out that policy. The Committee it seems made sundry efforts to make satisfactory arrangements with the proprietors of the salt works for continuing the State operations in making salt after the expiration of the present lease, on the 8th of June next, but they say the proprietors so fettered their proposals with terms and stipulations as virtually, in the judgment of the committee, to render the whole scheme nugatory. The report then proceeds with the following recommendations: That the State shall immediately impress the six furnaces known as the "Charles Scott & Co's works," and shall, prior to the 8th day of June next, impress nine of the ten furnaces of Stuart, Buchanan & Co., now leased by the State; also the "Preston" well, and so much salt water from the King and Finley wells as shall be ample to supply the said fifteen furnaces. Likewise, that the superintendent have authority, under the supervision of the board of supervisors, to impress standing wood for o

ho happened to make narrow escapes. Rifle pits were dug and a long line of fortifications begun. For a long time the skirmishers were friendly, and conversed with each other across the river. Before dark they were using every species of finesse to cause one another to expose their bodies for a mark. The flag of truce which Grant was forced to send, the character of which is studiously concealed by the Northern papers, is thus described by a correspondent of the Tribune, writing June 8th: The short interval of last night, employed by both sides in the humane occupation of removing the wounded and interring the dead between the lines, seems to have visibly diminished the hostility of the pickets, and led to a facit agreement on the subject of picket firing at certain points along our front. The courtesy and apparent amity which characterized the meeting of the parties accompanying the flag of truce last night, forcibly remind one of the diabolical nature of a war i

l induce some military chieftain to throw himself into their eager arms. It will be rather awkward however, either to get a soldier to consent to serve a party that makes Vallandigham their chief, or to get Vallandigham to support a soldiers But as this is one of the dilemmas of a greatly distressed, and now more than ever discordant party, we leave the case with them. Grant "Whittling" out victory. A special correspondent of the Rochester (N Y) Democrat, writing from Washington, June 8th, thus informs us how Ulysses "whittled" out victory under great difficulties: "O, it was the longest day!" says one who was near headquarters during all that terrible Friday Orders at eleven o'clock Thursday evening were to open the fight, at half-past 4 on the following morning. An hour after midnight Gen Grant was roused by Col Rowley, of his staff, with word of message from Gen Meade. It proved to be a representation from Warren that the men were much exhausted, with an urgent sug

town was, a few days ago, thrown into a state of considerable excitement by a melancholy accident, which removed from the small circle of Americans resident here one of its most respectable members, and afforded, in some of its consequence, a curious illustration of German character and habits. The occurrence was the death, by drowning, of James Fitz Byrne, of St. Louis, Missouri, who had been living in Boat for nearly a year as a student in the University.--On the afternoon of Wednesday, June 8. he went with a friend, for the purpose of bathing, to one of the floating bath; which are anchored in the Rhine, opposite the town and near the further bank. These establishments, it should be said, contain only dressing-rooms; but as a safeguard against the rapidity of the current, which here flows at the rate of five or six miles an hour, a small enclosure is formed about each of them by a floating barrier of logs. Mr. Byrne had no sooner entered the water within one of these enclos
