The New Orleans Exiles. Mobile, May 19. --All the New Orleans refugees are at Pascagoula, and now coming in daily. Banks has extended the time of leaving to the 25th.
From Northern papers.some Additional Items from Files of the 20th. Alarmed about Kentucky. The Northern papers display a good deal of alarm about Kentucky. Telegrams flow about from different places on the Ohio representing that the rebels were invading Eastern Kentucky in large numbers, under General Buckner. Rebel pickets were stated to be all along the Cumberland, and the river was falling and would soon be fordable. A dispatch was, however, sent from Louisville (dated the 19th May) to quiet alarm. It states that the startling dispatches about rebels were from rebel sources, and meant to divert Federal reinforcements from Rosecrans — that save eleven small regiments under Morgan on the South side of the Cumberland, there were no forces menacing Kentucky. This was the opinion at head quarters. Still there was much turmoil about Kentucky, who is not fully confided in of late, as shown by the summary executions of her citizens under Burnside's order. Reported evacua
Yankee Misrepresentation --The New York Tribune, of May 19th, contains the following paragraph: "That infernal brute, Capt. Turner, a few days since, had charge of some of our prisoners from Richmond to City Point, and caused a man of the 119th Pennsylvania to be bayoneted because he could proceed no further. The villain would not give the poor fellow even a drink of water. A soldier of an Ohio regiment, taken at Rome, Ga., was shot on Wednesday while reaching for a cracker at Belle Isle Prison. Our prisoners were compelled to walk from their places of capture at Fredericksburg to Richmond, thence to City Point. Some gave out on the march. A member of the 20th New York regiment died on the route." The delicate allusions in the foregoing are made to Capt. Thos. P. Turner, Commandant of the Libby Prison in this city. A contradiction would hardly seem to be necessary, yet we will state that Capt Turnerdid not accompany the Yankees to City Point--one party being in
Arrest of a heavy Defaulter. --James A Edie, who absconded from Charleston some two weeks ago with over $18,000 of his employer's money, was yesterday morning arrested at the house of one Mdme Demerrit, on 10th street, in this city. The circumstances of his arrival in this city, and his arrest, as we have learned them, are these: On the 19th of May be reached this city, and stopped at the Powhatan Hotel, where he registered his name as John H Mikel, Macon, Ga. He remained at the Powhatan from the 19th to the 27th, when he took the cars for Staunton, in company with a girl of doubtful reputation, whose acquaintance he had formed during his sojourn here. Although he had for himself a passport through our lines, and British protection papers in his pocket, the vigilance of General Jones's pickets prevented him from passing our lines in that quarter. On the 30th he returned to Richmond and stopped at the same house where he had registered under the assumed name of Mikel, and reco

Baton Rouge has been evacuated by the enemy, and is now in possession of the Confederates. Natchez is burning, two squares gone, and the fire still raging. The engine and hose destroyed. [The latter part of this dispatch is obscure.] [Another Dispatch.] Clinton, La., May 17, via Summit, May 19th. --The news from Alexandria is up to-day before yesterday. Banks has been there fourteen days, cut off from all communication. It is supposed that he will attempt to cut his way through by way of Marksville. A large flotilla of gunboats went up Red River yesterday morning. Heavy firing was soon after heard in the direction of our batteries in Fort De Russey. The result is not known. Steele has retreated with the remnant of his army to Little Rock, pursued by Price and Marmsd
From Northern Virginia. Spotsylvania C. H., May 19,Via Chesterfield, May 21. Yesterday morning, about day, the enemy, with a considerable force of picked troops, assaulted our left wing. The attack, however, was quite feeble, and we readily repulsed them with slight loss on our side, but with considerable slaughter of the enemy. The fight lasted about one and a half hours. During this engagement we captured about sixty prisoners, and the enemy left over two hundred dead on the field. Last night the enemy retired from our left, leaving their dead unburied. They seem to be massing on our right, either for the purpose of attacking us again or to fall back. After the fight of yesterday on our left the enemy opened vigorous cannonading on our right wing, to which we responded, and a fierce artillery duel was kept up for two hours; our side, however, losing very slightly. Our men to day have been busy collecting arms on that part of the field abandoned by the enem

s in the battle of Seven Pines and the seven days fight around Richmond; was next assigned to duty as Colonel of the 4th Virginia cavalry, and subsequently to a battery of artillery that gained distinction in the second battle of Manassas and at Sharpsburg. When a commander was needed for the defences of Vicksburg in the fall of 1862, President Davis sent him to defend the stronghold of Mississippi, having conferred upon him the rank of Brigadier General. he commanded at the battle of Chickasaw Bayou, above Vicksburg, where, in December, 1862, he whipped Sherman and Morgan Smith, who brought a large force against his heroic little band. At the battle of Baker's Creek he commanded a brigade of Georgians, and during the siege of Vicksburg held that portion of Stevenson's line so furiously assaulted on the 19th and 22d of May. Shortly after the surrender Gen. Lee was appointed to the rank of Major General, and assigned to the command of all the cavalry in the Mississippi Department.
