The Legislature is believed to be under conservative influence, though devoted to the Confederate cause. Gen. Slaughter, Mobile, is in this city, with his staff. Indian depredations on the frontier are frequent and alarming. I learn that the Indians are armed by the Yankees and sent upon the defenseless frontier to lay it waste. The smallpox has made its appearance in this city. General Walker's division is now on the Mississippi river, pegging away. They have already sunk one transport and burned another. They have also sunk four barges and burned the large transport Black Hawk.--Nothing can pass their batteries unless conveyed by iron-clads, and even then we hear of much lamentations board before they get out of reach ns Quantrell is in report. Official information has been received that Corpus Cristi is in the hands of the enemy.
