pressed by Halleck's mighty hosts. The best way now, in my opinion, to defend Memphis is to defeat Halleck. The only effect of keeping an armed force around the city will be to make the enemy bombard it. Jno. B. Villepigue, Brigadier-General, Commanding. General orders, no. 62. Hdqrs.

The general commanding takes great pleasure in calling the attention of the army to the brave, skillful, and gallant conduct of Lieutenant-Colonel Lane, of the Third Regiment Texas Dismounted Cavalry, who with 246 men, on the 29th ultimo, charged a largely-superior force of the enemy, drove him from his position, and forced him to leave a number of his dead and wounded upon the field. The conduct of this brave regiment is worthy of all honor and imitation. * * * * * * * By command of General Beauregard: George Wm.

From Washington. Washington, March 26. --The heads of the several departments of the military bureaus, including Gen. Scott, have protested against the removal of the civil officers in the same departments. The Senate confirmed to-day the nomination of Saunders, of Iowa, as Governor of Nebraska, and many other appointments. Mr. Wigfall went to Charleston to-day. For several weeks rumors have prevailed among many Unionists that some of the seceded States intended to apply to Lincoln for judicial appointments therein. These rumors have been confirmed in part by the nomination of Geo. W. Lane as Judge of the Northern and Southern Districts of Alabama.

ioner of the General Land Office, has been returned to his former place as Chief Clerk of that Bureau. Capt. Josiah Gorgas, of the Ordnance Department, has resigned, owing, it is believed, to his being suspended as Superintendent of the Frankfort Arsenal. No troops, it is authoritatively stated, have been ordered to Fort Pickens. No Supreme Court nomination has been made. Mr. Archibold, late Chief Engineer U. S. N., has declined the same position in the Confederate Navy. The Convention, on the San Juan question, proposed by Great Britain, goes over to the next session. Confirmations by the Senate.--Carl Schurz, Minister to Spain; Cassius M. Clay, Minister to Russia; A. B. Dickinson, of New York, Minister to Nicaragua; James E. Harvie, of Pa., Minister to Portugal; B. H. Ishemond, N. Y., Chief Engineer U. S. N.; George W. Lane, Judge Southern District of Alabama. Capt. Jos. Gorgas, of New York, and Lieut. H. B. Kelly, of La., U. S. A., have resigned.

A Federal Court to be held in North Alabama. --The Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, of the 2nd, says it is reported that George W. Lane, recently appointed by Mr. Lincoln as Judge for Alabama, will attempt to hold his Court at Athens, and wonders whether "he will have the temerity to do so." The appointee was formerly a Judge in the State, but his intellectual qualifications are of such a character that when the appointment was made the Alabama papers laughed at it.

that a reconstruction, or reorganization of the Union, except by the adoption of the Constitution of the Confederate States, is as hopeless as the flames that burn to light the dead. The enthusiasm of the people in support of their Government, even in North Alabama, where co-operation was preferred to separate State action, is as universal as the scorn and detestation with which the Lincoln Administration is regarded. The people of the District treat with contempt the acceptance by Geo. W. Lane of the Federal Judge tendered him by Lincoln. His friends, if he has any, it is said, will, of course, prove a sinecure, (the Hon. Wm. G. Jones holding the same appointment under this Government.) and is only important as showing the animus of the Black Republicans not by any act to recognize the separation. The temporizing and procrastinating conduct of Virginia excites the deep mortification of her Southern sisters. It is known here, however, that the Convention does not truly re

was, probably, that General L. Pope Walker and family were his guests when Huntsville was taken. * * * * * * Nearly all of the citizens of Huntsville remained true to themselves and their country. The outrages committed on the strong Secessionists had intensified their disunionism and their hatred of the mongrel crew who assail their rights and seek their subjugation — and the hitherto lukewarm were wrought up to a pitch of indignation that only awaits opportunity to rival the most zealous and uncompromising. Some who were 'half and' half — almost, if not quite, Union men — have suffered as much as the most intense disunionist, and, through much tribulation have reached the conclusion that in disunion alone, permanent and irrevocable, is there any hope of Southern freedom. A few — half a dozen to a dozen, at most — have demonstrated beyond all question their disloyalty and treason to the South. The most prominent of them are Hone.(?) Jere Clemens and George W. Lane<

nd the depot at Larkinsville was, we fear, causelessly destroyed. The Federals are said to have declared the independence of Jackson county, admitting that they had sustained more loss and stouter resistance from that county than from any portion of the country elsewhere. Of the 4th Ohio cavalry, numbering perhaps 1,000 on their arrival not more than 300 remained. They were mainly bushwhacked. The citizens, with very few exceptions, were wild with rejoicing at their departure. Judge Geo. W. Lane left with his friends. Jere Clemens remains, but boarded Federal officers during their stay. Nick Davis is considered true. There were some few who bought and sold cotton; one of whom, (Hickman,) former proprietor of the Madison Hotel, was required to give a bond of $40,000 for his appearance. The Federals, at their departure, left, far fewer Union men than they found, and their bitterest foes are in Athens, Ala, the last place in the State to acknowledge allegiance to the Southern
