Latest from the United States.[from our own correspondent.] Fredericksburg, March 14th. --I have received the New York Herald of the 11th, and send you what of interest it contains: The New York Herald, of the 11th inst., has the following editorial: Lincoln has issued's proclamation, dated March 10th, ordering all soldiers absent without leave to return. Those who do so by April 1st, restored without punishment, except forfeiture of pay during absence; those who do not on party." Congress at its last session passed an act organizing a Territorial Government for Idaho, carved out of Oregon, Decotah, and Washington Territories. St. Thomas, W. I. Feb, 24.--The Vanderbilt, Alabama, and Shepherd Knapp, United States men of war, are off to-day in pursuit of the pirate Florida. They have great speed and are carrying heavy batteries. Cincinnati, March 10.--Major-General Cox, now of the Army of the Kanawha, will shortly supersede Major-General Wright,
ed a steamer in pursuit, under full head of steam, all sall to. After six hours charo, the steamer fired a shot, striking twice the length of the ship astern, when the captain ordered his ship to heave to. The steamer carried the Federal flag. After sailing around the Jacob Bell three times she presented a broadside, ran up the rebel flag, and sent a boat's crew aboard. The steamer proved to be the privateer Florida. After examining the Bell's papers, the was declared a prize to the Confederate States. The officers, crew, and passengers of the Hall were immediately transferred to the steamer, being allowed half an hour to collect a few necessary articles, the prize crew appropriating wherever pleased their fancy of the refraining articles. The Florida immediately started in pursuit of a schooner which escaped in the darkness, ordering the prison master to steer a certain course and meet the Florida in the morning. They met on the morning of the 10th, when the prize crew were take

Who are the rebels and traitors, according to his own showing? Why Lincoln and the North. What has the South done except to claim and exercise the poor privilege of self defence? And this self- defence is styled rebellion and treason. After quoting the words of Lord Chatham, he tells the Congress and the North, "You have not conquered the South. You never will." He then depicts the distress in the North,
in that city, Matamoras may at any moment be occupied by the French, and will certainly be soon. The French army numbers over 40,000 men--four times the number necessary for the taking of the whole of Mexico. The News thus alluded to this interesting information: We look upon this as very important news.--The conquest of Mexico by the French; or which is the same thing, the absolute military control over that country by Napoleon, places French power in contiguity with the Confederate States on the South, as English power is in contiguity with Lincoln's Government on the North. It is worthy of note that white France has been steadily, and noiselessly establishing her power in Mexico by large fleets and armies, Great Britain has been equally indefatigable in sending some forty or fifty thousand troops and immense army supplies into Canada. These military operations in Canada and in Mexico have been going on simultaneously, and, apparently, with a like determination by bot

copal Church. --The "Pastoral Letter," to the Clergy and Lady lately received, emanating from the Bishops of the Episcopal Church, South, assembled in "General Council" last November, at Augusta, Ga., is replete with interest. We have space however, to quote but briefly from this able document, as follows, from the printed copy forwarded. It shows that the cause of Christian, religion is steadily progressing in our land.

It is the same moderate, just, and equal body of tiual law
