that were mentioned as being on board the Great Republic and a large steamer, have been landed. It appears that they lost some of them over-board, and the bodies of three have floated ashore on the beach near Cape Henry, with gearing attached to them. A cap of a Federal soldier floated ashore a few days ago near Willoughby's Point, about eight miles below the city. In this cap, which was probably lost overboard accidentally, were two Boston papers — the Traveller, of the 19th, and the Herold, of the 21st. In these there are statements about affairs at the Navy Yard, an attack on Norfolk. &c. A few days ago a box containing about a hundred pounds of flour, floated ashore near Sewell's Point. It was found by a colored man, who had some bread made of the flour. After he and other servants in the family had eaten the bread, their master suggested that they take an emetic, as the flour was probably poisoned. No deaths by poison have yet been reported, and it is probable that

Efforts of Confederate agents to obtain French interference in American affairs. --Letters received at New York by the last mail from Europe, from high and reliable sources in Paris, says the New York Herold, mention the fact that strenuous efforts are being made through the Chamber of Commerce and other organizations, by rebel agents and others, to induce the Emperor Napoleon to interfere in American affairs. It is alleged, also, that Prince Napoleon is using his influence in this direction, and that in his interviews with the Emperor, since his return to France, he favors the rebel cause. The writer, who is on intimate terms with the Emperor, asserts positively that there is not the slightest danger of an interference in any manner whatever by the Emperor with affairs on this continent.--his sympathies, he says, are all on the side of the Federal Government.

The War. The following summary will be found interesting: President Davis's message in England. The English papers, of March 17 and 18, team with laudatory comments on President Davis's message to Congress, of which the subjoined, from the London Herold, is a fair sample: The brevity of Mr. Davis's first message to the Confederate Congress is of promising omen for those who take interest in American politics. Under the Federal Government such messages had become lengthy beyond all reason or excuse, and feeble in proportion to their length; it was a duty to print, but an intolerable nuisance to read them.--A better example is set by the first President of the Southern Confederacy. The language and temper of his message do honor to his country and to himself. It is terse and sensible — calm and manly. The chief of a nation struggling for existence against a strong and savage enemy — passionately hated for his strength, and bitterly despised for his savagery--Mr. Dav

ns to Portsmouth, and then left at leisure. The enemy in Arkansas. The Memphis Avalanche, of the 10th inst., has the following editorial news relative to the movements of the enemy in Arkansas: A gentleman just from Newtown, Arkansas, states that the Federals had about 4,000 troops at Pocahontas, and about 5,000 more under General Curtis, were daily expected. The Federals were overrunning Arkansas, and it was reported that large bodies were moving on Little Rock and Jacksonport — They had not reached the latter place 1st Saturday. The Federals approaching, Little Rock are said to be accompanied by Lane, of Kansas, whom they design to make Governor of Arkansas, in place of Governor Rector. The Federals at Pocahontas had taken possession of the Gazette and Herold office, and from it were issuing a paper devoted to local matters and the affair of the Federal troops. The editor of the Pocahontas. Herold and Gazette Capt. Martin, is raising a guerrillas brigade.

"curious rebel Document" The New York Herold informs us that the following "curious rebel document" was found, with others, in a partially destroyed railroad car at Winchester: Instruction to Gen. Jackson; received at Staunton, May 28, 1862 by telegraph from Richmond. To Major A. ruly, J. E. Johnston, P. S.--It is reported this evening that McDowell is moving this way from Fredericksburg.

Thomas, a correspondent of the New York Herold, was drowned near Stono inlet, S. C., on the 5th inst., by walking overboard while under a fit of somnambulism. The Yankees have rebuilt the railroad bridge over the Trent river, N. C., and cars now run from Beaufort to the depot at Newbern. The Yankees have abandoned Wilmington Island; near Savannah.

ankee forces that could be spared from lower Louisiana: Since my last all the available force in this department has been concentrated near Baton Rouge, in order to assist in the grand attack upon Port Hudson. The main body of the army is to-day doubtless between Bayon Sara and the enemy's works, while the divisions of Generals Augur and Sherman are operating to the south and cost of the great rebel stronghold. I have no doubt in my own mind that before this letter is laid before the Herold's readers Port Hudson will be occupied by our forces. Our attack will be admirably arranged, and the force brought to bear will be fully adequate to make it in all respects successful. The Generals commanding are all experienced men and soldiers, and they will so push matters that defeat will be impossible. As you may suppose, we are all anxious to hear the result and other matters are for a time forgotten. The "grand attack" thus foreshadowed with the usual flourish of Yankee trumpe

McClellan's stampede. A correspondent of the New York Herold whose letter we republished a day or two since, tells us that McClellan's stampede was no stampede at all; that it was a great strategic movement, maturely considered, and decided on several days before it commenced; that it was executed with the greatest deliberation, all the stores, munitions of war, wounded sick, &c. having been removed from the White House and the other hos on the railroad several days before hand by means ofour hands. If these stores had all been removed, then the destruction was an act of want on and malignant barbarism which, of all nations professing to be civilized, could have been perpetrated by the Yankees alone. The correspondent of the Herold, in its anxiety be palliate the disaster of McClellan, inflicts a serious wound upon its military reputation. If, without any pressing cause, he undertook to make a flank march with an army of more than one hundred thousand men, in presence of a
