it by me, to General Pope's headquarters in the field. It read as follows: (Confidential.) headquarters, Corinth, May 9, 1862. General: In case we have to retire from this position, your army will follow the best road in the direction of Kossuth, via the Female College; and when about two or three miles from that town, a part of your forces, say a corps, will move to Danville, and another corps will move on the road to Kossuth, until it meets the one to Rienzi, when it will move on to tKossuth, until it meets the one to Rienzi, when it will move on to the latter place. Depots of provisions, etc., have been made at Okolona and Columbus. One of your divisions or corps can continue to Ripley, thence to Oxford, and thence to Grenada, for the protection of that depot. ———,General Commanding. To General B. Bragg, Commanding Army of the Mississippi (For the information of Major—General Van Dorn.) Soon after entering the works, Grant rode to the rebel left, and satisfied himself beyond all doubt, that had an assault on Sherman's front been orde

and baggage were all sent off to-day, and the general impression is that we are about to evacuate Corinth. May 2 9th.—All quiet on the left. Heavy cannonading on the right all day. It is now sunset, and we are under orders to march in thirty minutes. May 30th.—Corinth was evacuated last night. We left there at eleven o'clock, and marched all night and all day, resting a few hours this morning. We are now encamped on the banks of a small stream, about twelve miles from Corinth. At Kossuth, Joe Park and I stopped at the house of a Georgia woman, and got a dinner of cornbread and buttermilk. I charged Joe with drinking six glasses of milk; Joe brought the same charge against me; the woman charged us both. We settled with the good woman, and our mutual charges vanished in smoke, as we went on our way rejoicing, and whiffed our cares away. It is a great relief to breathe the fresh, pure atmosphere of the country after living so long in the infected camp of Corinth. We do not

and my first labors were crowned with encouraging success. I was soon called to positions that opened the way to usefulness—gave me a support for my family—opportunities to improve my education, and to give myself wholly to my profession. As I had gained a victory over my ambition to gain wealth, this was all I asked, and I never indulged a moment's thought of turning from the holy calling to make money, or for any civil or military position. At the beginning of the late war I lived at Kossuth, a little village nine miles southwest of Corinth—was quietly pursuing my theological studies—had the pastoral care of some religious congregations to whom I was much attached, and who cherished the warmest affection for me as their spiritual guide and instructor. In political questions I took no part, as I did not think it became a minister of the gospel to engage in the heated discussions that then prevailed throughout the country, and naturally led to the indulgence of immoderate fee

ked Captain Hinckley. Yes, said he, and handed her his own box from a shelf above his head. Mrs. Holmes, as calmly as if she had been in her own sittingroom, selected from the box needles and thread, which she carefully tucked away in the pockets of her coat. All the while the ship was lurching fearfully and pounding against the coral reef. You don't happen to have an extra hat? asked Mrs. Holmes. Captain Hinckley handed her a Louis Kossuth hat, which had become famous after Kossuth's visit to this country. Taking a pair of scissors, she coolly and quickly cut off her hair close to her head, tried on the hat, and secured it under her chin with a tape fastened with safety pins. There, don't I look like a boy? she asked jokingly, and went calmly on deck in the midst of the uproar and confusion. Mrs. Holmes' manner was never other than brave throughout the fearful days that followed. Where men who had followed the sea for years were frightened, she herself show

Custom-House fraud. --Eugene A. Kozlay has been arrested in New York, on the charge of committing the recent fraud discovered in the Custom-House in that city. Kozlay was a clerk in the warehousing department of the Custom-House, and had charge of the books of the warehouse where Goodrich & Walker had stored their invoice of silks. Suspicion was directed towards him from the fact that the permit was evidently filled out in his handwriting, slightly disguised, and was written with the exact shade of blue ink that he ordinarily used. There was also a slight mistake in the warehousing book copied into the permit. The prisoner denies the charge, and says that the filling out is a forgery. Mr. Kozlay is a Hungarian, and came here in Kossuth's suite.

Kossuth's movements. --Kossuth has given up his English residence. He has resolved not to carry any farther his resistance in the Hungarian notes case. The transaction cost him £10,000, of which £8,000 represents the value of the beautifully engraved notes now to be reduced to pulp. Kossuth is very much depressed by the results of his recent effort, and indeed by the general fruits of his residence in London, and has taken a villa on Lake Como.

rom Garibaldi, and a partial promise that, if the war is protracted a year or two, he will come to the rescue. Garibaldi, as an Italian patriot, elicited a good deal of enthusiasm in the United States, whose people have always been ready to run mad over everything in the shape of revolt and revelation in all other parts of the world, and to make a lion of every foreigner whose aspect, beard, and roar are savage enough to entitle him to that distinction. The furore that was raised over Kossuth must be fresh in the public recollection. When we think how this man was made a demigod of in America, the foolish acts of homage, the propitiatory banquets and adulatory speeches which were made in his honor, we have only this consolation, that it was the North, and not the South, which showed itself such a fool that the world began to think the United States one vast asylum for idiots. Nothing but the extraordinary aptitude of Americans for making money has prevented the civilized natio

ve held the same tone in regard to the sovereignty of our soil and of our vessels. Indeed, our whole history has been a long protest and struggle for the inviolability of our soil and flag, and against the pretensions of the right of visitation and search, and of the seizure of subjects on board of neutral ships. We fought for seventy years the battle in favor of neutral rights, till at last they have been yielded to us. What would we have said if an Austrian vessel had attempted to seize Kossuth on board of a Collius' steamer ? What would England have said to a similar act of authority on board of a Cunarder?--Neutral soil has been invaded by the great powers, as in the case of Dac D. Enghein seized by Napoleon, and execute, for alleged participation in plots of assassination: but we recollect of no case in any degree parallel to this. It declares that the United States Government must prevent a rupture with the British Government at all hazards, and concludes thus: We kn

The Russians in New York. --The ovation which the Russian naval officers have received in New York city is almost equal to that which was given to the Japanese by the same excitable cockneys a few years ago. Whether it be the Prince of Wales, or Tommy, Kossuth, or Kossuth's enemies, New York is always ready to stand upon its head and flourish its heels in the air. The Russians, if they are men of sense, will attach no importance to the New York demonstration. They are used simply for a show and a sensation, and if they do not discover as much, they have little knowledge of the mercurial and unreliable character of the New York populace.

s explains much that we have heard about "bees in the Bonnet." The London bakers get fourteen cents for an ordinary loaf of bread. The young quondam Jew, Mortars, whose abduction from his family at Bologna, and subsequent education as a Roman Catholic, have furnished such matter for discussion and remonstrance, has addressed an Italian ode to the Pope, on the occasion of a religious commemoration. On the 5th ultimo a Shetland pony, Black Prince, died at Moresby House, in Cumberland, at the extraordinary age of forty-two years. Lord Overstone's fortune, says the Spectator, is estimated at £5,000,000. At a wedding in Paris last week, Mdlle. Pereire, the bride, wore a lace veil worth £4,000. Mrs. Reddington, the wife of a militiaman, recently confined in the Lincoln Barracks of three daughters, has received a post-office order from the Queen for £3.
