only a few months ago. --The Letters of Mezla Addams to Billy Irvine is a reprint of the humorous episodes which appeared in this magazine some year or two ago, and (if we may believe that the author believes what the papers and the public said of his productions) afforded a great deal of fun to all classes. De Verchange fire somewhat, but we are assured that it will appear in due time, and be welcomed all the more fervently for the inevitable delay of its publication. The romance by Mrs. McCord Vernon, the author of the Battle Call, (with which our readers are doubters familiar,) is in press, and will be forthcoming shortly.--Also, a collection of the Lyrics of the War, edited by Dr. Sheppardson, the well-known "Bohemian" of the Richmond Dispatch.--Messrs. West & Johnston have also published, lately, some fine Maps of the Spot of War in Kentucky, Tennessee, and the two Carolinas.--The Southern Spy has reached a second edition; and Cause and Central is still selling rapidly.

New Madrid may be hurt before long. Thus both sides are concentrating all their power for the great and desperate struggle for the mastership of the Mississippi river and valley. This movement of Van-Dorn was executed with great celerity and secrecy. He was doubtless enabled to accomplish it by the facilities of water transportation. Jacksonport is on White river and Pocahontas about 50 miles north of it on the Big Black fork of white river. It is to be presumed that the gallant General Van-Dorn withdrew his forces to the Arkansas river after the battle of Elkhorn, dropped down the river and ascended the White in steamers. What force is still with Price and Pike, is not known; but doubtless enough to keep Curtis uneasy Pocahontas is about sixty or seventy miles from New Madrid in a direction a little south of west, and Jacksonport about the same distance west of Fort Pillow on the Mississippi. Both of these places are about two hundred miles coastward of the late battle fi

List of officers. --The following is a list of the officers of the Confederate Military Prison on Cary street, in this city, Viz: Lieut. Thos. P. Turner, commanding post; Lieut. G. M. Emack, Adjutant of the post; Capt. Harris, Co. K, 2d Virginia Artillery, and Capt. Featherstone, 3d Virginia Artillery, commandants of the guard; J. Warner, quartermaster; E. G. Higginbotham, surgeon, of the post, and E. W. Ross, clerk. As previously intimated. The prison contained yesterday about 724 inmates; which number, we learn, has since that time been added to by new arrivals.
General Trapler. --The Savannah Republican announces that Gen. Trapler has, at his own request, been relieved of his command, embracing Middle and East Florida, and transferred the department of Gen. A. Sidney Johnston. The Republican also defends General Trapler from the charges made against him in connection with the surreGen.

ment, and heard him exclaim with that extraordinary finger elevated, "by the eternal, the Union, and shall be preserved!" Tariff was the pretext for disunion in 1862 and the slavery or negro question is the pretext now. How do the facts stand which come to examine them? Let us go back to the proceedings of the last Congress. What was the true phase of the times? I compromise, you remember — the Crittenden proposition — was introduced. The Southern Senators, including Benjamin, Toombs, Iverson, and a list of others, pretended that the measure passed the South would be satisfied; but they desired everything else in compromise. Senator Clark offered an amendment which he believed would be acceptable to the South. I had critically pace with the pretenders. Their pretext was only to disguise their real intention. When the vote was put on Clark's amendment — mark will — only 55 ballots were recorded. The amendment was adopted by to votes, thus defeating the original com

orces of the enemy consisted of four regiments of infantry and two battalions of cavalry, and nine pieces of artillery. Our whole force did not exceed eight to nine hundred effective men. The enemy immediately opened fire on our camps and cars. No return made by us. Our loss is fifty taken prisoners; in that number thirty of the pickets, under command of lieut, Coleman, including Lieut. Fite, and about fifty horses; no arms, and but few of the wagons. Provisions lost valued at about $6,000, and but little ammunition. The enemy destroyed the cars, quarters, and tents, and retired with great demonstrations of joy. Col. Tilghman displayed great coolness and bravery, and won the esteem of the regiment. Col. Jackson had command of the cavalry, by order of Gen. Polk. Our regiment rallied at Crockett's Station, ten miles from Union City. They were pursued by the enemy about three miles. Col. Pickett sent scouts to Cogett's, fearing the enemy might flank them at that point.
Jefferson Thompson (search for this): article 4
Depends of the West Bank of the Mississippi. --The Mobile Register, of the 30th ult., has the following important intelligence: As Curtis has displayed no further stomach for the fray since the battle of Elkhorn, the indefatigable Van-Dorn has pushed forward to the Mississippi with all rapidity. His army is in good condition, much reinforced, and is concentrating at Jacksonport and Pocahontas. General Jeff. Thompson is operating closely in connection with Van-Dorn's army, and it is thought that some Federals in the neighborhood of New Madrid may be hurt before long. Thus both sides are concentrating all their power for the great and desperate struggle for the mastership of the Mississippi river and valley. This movement of Van-Dorn was executed with great celerity and secrecy. He was doubtless enabled to accomplish it by the facilities of water transportation.
