An Actress under fire. --Miss Avonia Jones, on her late voyage down the Mississippi river from St. Louis to Memphis, had a perilous passage, the steamer in which she was being fired into by guerrillas and rebel batteries on the shore no less than three different times. Only by the daring of the pilot was the boat and passengers saved Miss Jones escaped bodily injury, but her trunks, wardrobe and baggage were riddled.

The author of the exquisite poem published below is generally unknown. His name has escaped our memory, but we remember that he was the editor of some obscure paper in Texas, and about five years since was killed by a steamboat explosion on the Mississippi river. Poor fellow, he had the "vision and faculty divine," whatever his name may have been on earth: "the long ago." Oh! a wonderful stream is the river of Time, As it runs through the realm of tears, With a faultless rhythm, and a musical rhyme, And a broader sweep, and a surge sublime, And blends with the ocean of years! How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow, And the summers like buds between, And the ears in the sheaf — so they come and they go, On the river's breast, with its ebb and flow, As it glides in the shadow and sheen! There's a magical Isle in the river of Time, Where the softest of airs are playing; There's a cloudless sky, and a tropical clime, And a song as sweet as a vesper chime

ith the rebels, giving them information regarding our movements; and nearly every expedition has been foiled to some extent in some of its objects by information so communicated. He has now several speculators, captured in the enemy's country, awaiting trial for giving information to the enemy; but the punishment of these men is no compensation for the evil they have occasioned, and will not secure us from future disaster from the same cause. The rebel armies east and west of the Mississippi river have been supplied mainly, during the past twelve months, by the unlawful trade carried on upon that river. The city of New Orleans, since its occupation by our forces, has contributed more to the support of the rebel army, more to the purchase and equipment of privateers that are preying upon our commerce, and more to maintain the credit of the rebel Government in Europe, than any other port in the country, with the single exception of Wilmington. General Canby makes this statem

t night, at Kelly's gap, they were surrounded by rebels, and compelled, at a moment's notice, to separate into two parties. The horsemen were piloted in the darkness from the rebel camp by a young lady, and they rode by forced marches of such severity as to kill many of their animals. Mr. Brown, with the other footmen, under an excellent pilot, took to mountain paths, and reached our lines on Saturday. Messrs. Richardson and Brown were captured while floating on hay bales in the Mississippi river, opposite Vicksburg, on the night of May 3, 1863, after their boat had been exploded and burned by the rebel batteries, and half the persons on the expedition killed or wounded.--They have since been continued in seven different rebel prisons. Mr. Davis was taken while with Sherman's army, near Resaca, Georgia, May 18, 1863. From North Carolina.

General Hodge, who commands the district of Mississippi and East Louisiana, has established his headquarters at Woodville, and has begun a most vigorous rule. The corporeal-punishment order of Colonel Scott has been revoked, and instead General Hodge levies a tax of sixty dollars per bale on all cotton taken to the bank of the Mississippi river. The Natchez Courier of the 13th mentions the arrival of eight or ten rebel deserters from Alexandria, Louisiana, who report a small rebel force at that place, fortifying in expectation of another Federal expedition. Shreveport has been made very strong, and has a garrison of four hundred or five hundred men. Hainson has a regiment of troops at Trinity. These deserters were of the opinion that Northern Louisiana could easily be brought under Federal rule. Vicksburg pap

North Carolina, offered a resolution, which was agreed to, that the Committee on the Judiciary inquire into the expediency of making reputation prima facie evidence of the fact of desertion in all prosecutions under the act to prevent the procuring, aiding and assisting persons to desert. Mr. Henry, of Tennessee, introduced a bill, which was referred to the Military Committee, to provide for receiving volunteer troops for the war. It provides that, within three months east of the Mississippi river, and within six months west of that river, persons not now in the service of the Confederate States, or absent without leave, may organize into companies and offer themselves to the President as volunteers for the war, and be organized into battalions and regiments, subject to the laws and regulations now in force. Mr. Henry said such a law would add thousands of men to the service who would never enter it as conscripts. Mr. Oldham, of Texas, presented resolutions of the Legi

a re's Nest — Rich "Plot" Revealed. A correspondent of the New York Herald, writing from St. Louis, gets up and furnishes that paper the revelation of a "plot," which will just suit the Yankee palate. He says: Some weeks since the Prov-Marshal General of this department suspected, from a variety of hints, insin and innuendoes, that the rebel General E. Kirby Smith has been negotiating with the Emperor Maximilian for transferring nearly the whole of the rebel army west of the Mississippi river to Mexico, to fight for the French. The same story is now current among the prominent secession of this city and is founded on private communications received larly from the Trans-Mississippi Department of rebeldom. While the country was in expectancy and anxiety concerning the movements of General Sherman in Georgia, a rebel courier was captured near Morganzia Louisiana, with a duplicate of an order, signed by. General Cooper, Adjutant-General of the South, ordering Kirby Smith
