The Trans-Mississippi. The Atlanta Appeal, of the 2d inst., has the following encouraging view of affairs in the trans-Mississippi Department, written before the report of Steele's surrender to Price: If our intelligence from the West be true, and we have no reason the doubt it, Gens Smith and Price are doing their work up nobly on the west side of the Mississippi river. The campaign of Banks in Louisiana has proved a complete failure, and he is represented as having been driven on the north side of Red river, and is seeking refuge at Natchez, on this side of the Mississippi. This leaves all West Louisiana free from the enemy, and will play hob with those Yankees who have emigrated thither with the view of raising cotton and sugar. They will be compelled to give up their farms, of course, and re-emigate to the North. Gen Magruder seems to have no foe to contend with in Texas, and Gen Smith will remain idle during the spring and summer, as it will be impossible for

In a few minutes' time the whole command was safe under the guns within forty yards of the fort. In the meantime, Major Charles Anderson, A. D. C., with the and four companies, had been seat south of the fort, on the bank of the Mississippi river, to prevent the gunboats landing reinforcements, or any escape from the fort by means of a large coal barge which lay at the warf.--Having the garrison thus invested, Gen.

next session of the Senate. Miscellaneous. Tuesday, May 31, gold was quoted in New York at 187¾ @188, a decline of three per cent on the day before. Chase was again in the market. The New York Times thinks "there will be but little more campaigning in Louisiana or west of the Mississippi for some time to come. The role assigned to our army will probably be simply to hold New Orleans and the country as far west as Brashear, and to hold Baton Rouge, Port Hudson, and the Mississippi river." The Department of Missouri is assigned to the military division of West Mississippi, under the control of Gen Canby, Banks's successor. The friends of McClellan are indulging their wit over Grant for sliding down, after all he has said, on McClellan's lines.

The Trans-Mississippi. Our latest advices from the other side of the Mississippi river would seem to represent that the Confederates are having all their own way in that department. A force of twenty thousand cavalry, under General Wharton, are said to have moved into Missouri, while Gen. Shelby, with twenty-five hundred men, is already in the State, and Gen. Price was hastening on with the artillery and infantry to the same destination. This is a movement we have anticipated ever since the defeat of Banks and Stecle, and we doubt not that Gen. Price is going into Missouri with the intention of staying there. He will no doubt be enabled to add greatly to the strength of his army in that State, and St. Louis will hardly be considered safe while he is in its vicinity with so formidable a force.

handsomely repulsed." An official telegram received yesterday announces that the raiding party of the enemy who cut the Montgomery and West Point Railroad, on Tuesday, at Oluskagee, was on Wednesday attacked by our troops and driven off, with considerable loss. Evacuation of the Trans-Mississippi. The most important intelligence of the day is the fact, officially ascertained, that the enemy's force heretofore operating in Louisiana, Arkansas, and other States west of the Mississippi river, are all now on this side, having evacuated both of those States, with the exception of some garrison troops remaining. Gen. Canby, the General who superseded Banks, of "paper collar" memory, is on this side for the purpose of attacking Mobile. --The force which has just been whipped from Tupelo, Miss., by Gen. Stephen D. Lee, was intended to co-operate with him, and the cutting of the Montgomery and West Point railroad, one of the feeders of Mobile, was another part of his programme.

Your military commanders, Provost Marshals, and other agents, may arrest all males and females who have encouraged or harbored guerillas and robbers, and you may cause them to be collected in Louisville, and when you may have enough, say three or four hundred, I will cause them to be sent down the Mississippi river, through their guerilla gauntlet, and by a sailing ship send them to a land where they may take their negroes and make a colony, with laws and a future of their own. If they won't live in peace in such a garden as Kentucky, why we will kindly send them to another if not a better land, and surely this would be a kindness to them and a God's blessing to Kentucky.
