n form the basis of newspaper comments and of public opinion in regard to military operations; and events follow so rapidly on the heels of each other that first impressions rarely give way to more correct views founded on authentic accounts. This consideration induces me to place on record a correction of one or two of the misrepresentations contained in communications to several of the Richmond papers from correspondents at Fredericksburg, in regard to the capture of Marye's Hill, on the 3d inst. It is stated in these communications that Barksdale's brigade was left without support to defend the heights in rear of Fredericksburg, and a line of two miles in length. The fact is, that when informed at light on the morning of the 3d by Gen. Barksdale that the enemy had thrown a bridge across Fredericksburg, I immediately sent Hays's Louisiana brigade to his assistance, and Gen. Wilcox, with three regiments of his brigade, came down from above. This left only three brigades on the
England and the United States. The debate in the House of Commons on the 23d, upon the pass given by Mr. Adams to an English ship to a Mexican port, displays the existence of much feeling on the subject. Mr. Rosbuck, a converted Radical, formerly our enemy, now our friend, leaped boldly into the ring and called out for justice to the "dignity" and "honor" of England, and for the protection of her commerce from the "sneering insolence of an upstart race!"--He was lustily cheered by the Opposition.--He declared that if the demand for this justice and this protection of the commerce of Great Britain led to war the English people were prepared for it. No other member went so far in a bellicose demonstration; but the act of Mr. Adams, U. S. Minister, was severely censured. While these outgiving are interesting, as displaying the sentiment of the British people through their representatives, the main point is as to the reply of Earl Russell, in the House of Lords, and the course

The mail question. In the House of Lords, on the 24th, Lord Ridesdale referred to Mr. Seward's instructions to the naval officers of the United States cruisers, directing that the mails should not be opened when seized on board any ship, but should be either given up to the Consul of the nation to whould, whatever was the result, be supported by all classes. In reply to Earl Maimesbury, Earl Russell said that he would endeavor to lay on the table the opinion of the law officers of the crown on Monday. In the House of Commons, on the 24th, Lord A. Churchill asked whether merchant ships in the prosecution of a voyage between neutral ports would be legally justified in defending themselves by the use of arms from capture by the cruisers of the Federal States.

Fifty Dollars reward. --The above reward will be paid for the delivery to me, at Little Dover, Goochland county, of my servant Sample, who ran away on the 24th day of March. He is a bright mulatto, 19 years old 5 feet 6 or 7 inches high; hair very thick and usually worn long. On his left jaw, and side of his neck, and left arm, are deep scars, the result of a severe burn and his left thumb is also contracted from the same burn. He is a very capable servant. He also is a good butcher. He was employed from Oct., 1861, to March, 1862, on Jos E Anderson & Co's canal boats. Any information that may lead to his detection may be addressed to me by mall, to Dover Mills P. O, Goochland county. Wm. R. Trent. my 12--3t*

S. Minister, was severely censured. While these outgiving are interesting, as displaying the sentiment of the British people through their representatives, the main point is as to the reply of Earl Russell, in the House of Lords, and the course of the Government. The Earl declared Mr. Adams's conduct "most unwarrantable." The Government, he stated, had declined to hold communication with him on the subject, but would forward a statement of the case to the Washington Cabinet on the 25th of April. This thrusting of Mr. Adams aside, in order to present the matter directly to his Government, is a happy proceeding for the Lincoln Cabinet, and suggests to them a means of composing the difficulty which they will most assuredly avail themselves of. The reply of Earl Russell being general, we are not informed as to the exact nature of the communication to the Washington Government. His mild language about it as "a representation of the facts," would suggest the inference that it wa

Forrest's Exploit in Georgia. The feat of Gen. Forrest, capturing 1,500 Yankees with 500 Confederate cavalry, after several days' fighting, is one of the most remarkable of the war. It was on the 30th day of April that he fought and defeated the Vanndale at Courtland, on the M. and C. R. R., in Lawrence county, Ala. From this point to Rome we should judge to be not less than 150 miles, and from Courtland to Gaylesville, where Forrest overtook and fought them, not less than 115 or 120 miles. He then traveled this distance in but little over two days. He overtook, fought, whipped, and captured them in the early part of the third day. Of the last day's fight a correspondent of the Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy says: At Black Creek, a very deep, rapid stream, beyond Gadsden, they burned the bridge and planted their artillery to prevent Forrest from getting any further. Upon reaching it, he found he could not ford it. This was the first serious obstacle in the way of the intrepid
in, which was in waiting. Some of Vallandigham's friends, hearing what was going on, rung the fire bells with the intention of gathering a crowd to attempt a rescue. But few persons appeared, and they gave no trouble. Vallandigham was brought to the city and lodged in the prison on Columbia street, between Sycamore and Broadway, where no one was permitted to see him without an order from General Burnside. The official charges against Vallandigham set forth that on or about the first of May, at Mount Vernon, Ohio, he publicity addressed a large meeting of citizens, declaring that the present war is an injurious, cruel, and unnecessary war — a war not being waged for the preservation of the Union, but for the purpose of crushing out liberty and establishing a despotism — a war for the freedom of the blacks and the enslaving of the whites; and that, if the Administration had so wished, the war could have been honorably terminated; that peace might have been honorably obtained
Northern and Western News. Jackson, May 11. --A special dispatch to the Appeal, dated Senatobia, 10th, says reports from the river represent that Gen. Price had met and chastised the Yankee at St. Francis river. It was reported at Memphis that the Confederates had occupied Pittsburg, Pa. The Memphis Bulletin, of the 8th, has a dispatch from Cincinnati, dated the 8th, which says: "Dayton was comparatively quiet after 10 o'clock yesterday. Troops from Cincinnati and Columbus began pouring in. Thirty of the ringleaders of the mob have arrived.--Every precaution has been taken to prevent a renewal of the attack." A St. Louis dispatch says that fifteen of the most prominent Secessionists were arrested. --No favor will be shown, but they will be sent South with their families.
Yankee Raid in Mississippi Jackson, May 11. --One thousand of Grant's cavalry entered and burned Crystal Springs, on the New Orleans Railroad, to-day at 12 o'clock.
