A committee was appointed to co-operate with the civil authorities and Committee of Safety in furnishing transportation and support to such of the refugees arriving at Pascagoula as might need them. Twenty army wagons and a large omnibus were started on the 19th, and citizens having means of conveyance were urged to assist in bringing away the refugees. Among them were women and children, as well as men in distress, and needing assistance. Two hundred and fifty had arrived, and five hundred more were expected.

When brought before the authorities, he stated that his sympathies were with the South, and that he had no concealment in the matter.

Yankee depredations in Mathews county. A gentleman who arrived in this city on Saturday last, and who left Baltimore on Sunday last, coming through Mathews and adjoining counties, furnishes us with some interesting particulars of the depredations of the Yankees in that section. On Tuesday, the 19th inst., a party of Federal cavalry, estimated to number from 400 to 500, came over to Mathews Court-House, where they pillaged everything within reach. They left scarcely a horse or mule in the county, and burnt several flouring mills, declaring their determination to stop farming operations, and to prevent the grinding of what wheat might be raised. The mill of Mrs. Sparks was among those destroyed.--At the house of a prominent citizen they took every pound of bacon, drove off all the stock, and did not leave provisions sufficient to subsist the family for one week. They took from the person of a gentleman a fine gold watch, and on his complaining to the commanding officer, he was

Greenbacks Forged in England. --A case was tried before an examining Court in Sheffield, England, on the 17th April, of forgery of United States greenbacks. The parties were Edwin Hides and Henry Light, copperplate printers. The charge was that of forging $10 greenback notes, and the proof sufficiently clear to warrant the sending on of the accused. The prosecutor stated to the Court that the American Ambassador, from information conveyed to him, was satisfied that forgeries of United States notes had been conducted in England in a wholesale manner, and to "a very alarming extent." The testimony in the case showed that some 3,000 of $10 notes had been printed and conveyed to a person whom the attorney called an American, (no doubt a Yankee,) whose name, for the time, was withheld.

ill be observed that the writer asserts it as a fact that Hooker had exact information of the strength of our forces, giving the location and effective strength of every regiment. The letter proceeds: By his administration of army matters since he took command, General Hooker had acquired its confidence in him. No one, there fore, doubted our success in the movement about to take place, and there never was a time when the Army of the Potomac was in more effective condition. On the 28th of April General Hooker had nothing left to desire; he had men enough and means enough; he was sustained to the fullest extent at Washington, and had the heartiest support of the army.--Information (obtained I know not how, but which General Hooker and General Butterfield insisted was reliable beyond question) furnished the exact strength of the rebel army opposite, giving the location and effective strength of every regiment. This information was furnished corps commanders — They were assured t

May Festival. --On Thursday evening last was celebrated by the young ladies of St. Joseph's Academy the Festival of the month of May. It was pronounced by the crowded audience present to be one of the most interesting spectacles of the kind ever witnessed in Richmond. The performance consisted of a series of songs and declamatory pieces, suitable to the occasion, followed by the coronation and installation of their elected queen. Many of their addresses were delivered in an unusually elegant and graceful style. The exhibition was highly creditable to the talents of the young ladies, the training of their protectresses, and the reputation of the academy.
