Glorious news from the Trans Mississippi. Mobile, May 16. --A special dispatch to the Advertiser and Register, dated Brookhaven 16th, says that news from Natchez direct states that Banks has surrendered unconditionally to Taylor. The Federals say that he did it for spite on being superseded by McArthur. The rumor of our men being brutally murdered near Van Ducan, after being taken prisoners, seems confirmed. It is talked of in Natchez as retaliation for Fort Pillow.

tful than usual in regard to the prospect of a speedy downfall of the rebel capital. The knowledge of Grant's change of base seems to have put the coveted prize farther off than ever, and the paper has not even an editorial comment on the "situation." Indeed, its leading article is on "Taxing bachelors and widows." According to one correspondent, Grant has a full appreciation of the calibre of his opponent. A released prisoner from Richmond, who has arrived at Baltimore, tells some mendacious stories of the situation of affairs here. Among other things, he says that only four hundred Yankees were captured with Gen. Heckman in the battle near Drewry's Bluff on the 16th of May With regard to their prospects in Northern Georgia the enemy profess to be exceedingly hopeful. A prediction is made that their army would be in Atlanta on Sunday last. What a disappointment it must have been to the Yankees when they learned that this grant project came far short of its fulfilment.

North Carolina"--in other words, the organ and pet newspaper of Beast Butler. A considerable portion of its space is devoted to the publication of proceedings of Courts Martial and Military Commissions, in which grave charges are alleged against officers in the Federal army: The first on the list is the case of Lieut Matthew Keck, Adjutant of the 188th Pennsylvania volunteers. The first charge against him was a violation of the 52d Article of War, in that he did, on or about the 16th day of May, at or near Drewry's Bluff, while with his regiment in front of the enemy, shamefully abandon his post at the first fire, and run back to the entrenchments, a distance of nine miles, more or less. It is also alleged that his cowardice was aggravated in character by his attempt to spread consternation wherever he went, and that he was guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The Court Martial sentenced him to be drummed out of camp.--With the placard "coward" on his bac

ling to European eyes, as also to those on this side of the Atlantic, but it does not give the half of Grant's losses in this campaign. All the columns operating in Virginia are under Grant's orders, and must be received as a part of his campaign. In the table above, no mention is made of Hunter's losses in his advance to Lynchburg. They could not have been less than fifteen thousand. Butler's movements in Chesterfield, too, are ignored entirely. In the fight at Drewry's Bluff, on the 16th May, they were all of seven thousand five hundred, to say nothing of his heavy losses previously at Port Walthall junction and Swift creek. The bloody battle of Monocracy, in Maryland, between General Early and Lew. Wallace, is also omitted. Also, the fights around the Washington defences. The writer fails to refer to the fight at the Crater, in which the enemy conceded a loss of over 5,000. No mention is made of the bloody fights on the Weldon railroad, which occurred on the 18th and 20th

et out upon its march was to move round the north side of Richmond, above Mechanicville, strike the James river above the city of Richmond, and there forming a junction with the Army of the James, which was to move up towards Richmond on the south side of the James river, get around the city on the south side, and thus cut it off. Now, perhaps, you can understand what may have slightly puzzled you heretofore, why the Army of the James was demonstrating towards Drowry's Bluff on the sixteenth of May, while the Army of the Potomac was coming down from the Rapid Ann, on the north side, towards Richmond. But the Army of the Potomac never reached its destination on the north side of the James; nor did the Army of the James succeed in reaching the James, above Richmond, on the south side. Indeed, there was no call for the Army of the James above Richmond, if the Army of the Potomac could not join it; but if the Army of the James failed to accomplish all that it hoped for it, at least
