SOUTHERN NEWS.
THE BLOCKADE OF N‘KW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans Delta, of the Ilth inst., learns
through letters received there from Berwick’s Bay,
that in addition to the steamers Huntsville and
South Carolina, now cruising between Atchafa
lajft and Vermillion, another Lincoln vessel had
arrived, and was engaged in staking out the chan
nel of Atchafnlnya Tiver. Gen. Twiggs has de
tached a competent force to go down and look after
the matter.
AFFAIRS AT NORFOLK.
The Express publishes a letter dated Norfolk,
September 9th, ae follows;
Humor has it that to-norrow, the 10th, is tho
day which the Yankees have appointed to make an
attack on our forces in this direction. They have
been promising this so long, that most of us axe
tempted to believe that they don’t mean to attack
us at all. All of our troops are getting impatient
atthfc delay, and think that the Hessian* must have
the poco tnwpo fever. Captain D. tit. Farraguet,
of the Lincoln Navy, has deeded his property in
this city to another party. Captain F. married in
this place, and I believe was born here himself.
'Whether this transfer will prove valid or not under
the retaliatory regime, is yet to be proved. The
Officers of our Government will have to keep a
bright look out for the property of traitors who go
to fight the battles of the black knight of Illinois,
or they’ll find themselvCß tricked of their game.”
KENTUCKY
The Louisville Democrat has a remarkable fa
culty of stating a case in a few words:
“ It is no longer peace that is to be sought in
Kentucky, but safety. It is too late to ask for
peace. The fiat has gone forth, declaring that Ken
tucky shall be coerced into tho Southern Confede
racy ; that there never was any other intention.
The declaration is accompanied by the act of inva
sion.”
DESTITUTION' IN THE SOUTH,
A late letter from Norfolk states that certain
things cannot be bought for love or money. Among
these are boots and shoes, especially for soldiers
and women—the price of a common shoe of either
sort, whenever there was a pair on sale, being $lO
to $l5. Coffee was nearly as scarce, and domestic
cotton cloth was nearly out of the market, and boro
extTßOTdinnTy price*. The closing of Hatteras In
let. through which what few supplies they had were
obtained, will materially increase the luxury of
these and other articles equally scarce.
MSroaiTIUX OF PRISONERS
“ A Planter ’ ’ of St. Mary, in view of the facts
that the great number of prisoners now held ill
Richmond are expensive to the Government, and
are “ eating up the subsistence necessary for our
own soldiers," suggests that they be put to some
useful employment, and so be made to pay for their
keeping, lie proposes that they be set to work as
laborers on the unfinished portions of the Opelousas,
Great 'Western, and Texas Railroad, lying between
Berwick Bay and the Sabine. The Idea is Ingeni
ous, certainly.
THE rniVATEERS.
The privateers have already taken sixty-nine
vessels, of all descriptions, the value of which, ex
clusive of cargoes, is not far short of $1,500,000.
UEI’OIITK OF XOETHKRJf DESERTERS.
Desertions are very frequent from the rebel army
to Fortress Monroe. The principal cause of their
desertion, they sny, is that they had been impressed
into a servicetliey had no sympathy for, and made
to fight those whom they were bound to by ties that
never could he sundered. From them we learn
thattheconditiim of the Secession forces at Sewell’s
Point, Norfolk. Ac., is most deplorable: that much
sickness of a dangerous type abounds; that they
are only half fed. causing thereby great indigna
tion throughout the whole army in that region on
account of this outrageous and unendurable treat
ment. They further assert that many of these
same rebel troops are patiently awaiting the arrival
of our national forces to join them, that they may
co-operate in i4rikitig tt bloW AglllfiSl and
its admirers, that will be terrible in its effects.
All of this may not be wholly believed, yet the
daily desertions now occurring certainly speak
badly for the cause espoused by the rebels, and
attest by living proofs that we are gaining ground.
GEN. W OOL AND THE CONTRABAND NEOROBS.
Major Cannon, of (Jen. 'Wool’s staff, arrived in
Washington on Thursday night with despatches.
Gen. Wool wants to Know what to do with the tic
froes, upward of 2,000 of whom are now at Fortress
lonroe. The President's orderamending General
Fremont’s proclamation sets the whole question
afloat again as regards negroes not directly em
ployed in rebel service, who may seek protection
within our lines. Gen. Wool is ordered to send to
Washington all whom he can spare —the men to be
put on the entrenchments, and the women in the
camp kitchens, to be paid for their services. Be
sides 2,000 at the fort, there are ton or fifteen on
each of our men-of-war, which "sail from Hampton
Roads, who get $8 a month and found.
BOUT OF HEItELR IX CABELL COUNTY, WESTERN* VIR
GINIA.
On Thursday, the 12th, at 11 o’clock, a part of
Col. Zeigler's regiment, stationed at Ceredo,
Wayne county, attacked 250 rebels, who were
drilling on the turnpike, 8 miles east of Bnr
boursville, in Cabell county. The rebels fled at
the first fire, leaving several killed and wounded.
Eight prisoners were taken, among them William
Hensley, their ringleader, John Lawson and Wil
liam Hawley, son of old Patrick. Fifteen stand of
arms, several horses, and two mules were captured.
THE REBEL STEAMSHIP YORKTOWX
Is thus described by a correspondent of the New
York Tribune:
I have been enabled to collect the subjoined par
ticulars respecting tbc dimensions of the rebel
steamer Yorhovw, recently converted into a for
midable man-of-war at- Norfolk by plating her with
wrought-iron plates one-quarter and one-third of
an inch in thickness; Length on deck. 250 feet;
breadth of beam. 34 feet; depth of hold, 9 feet G
inches: depth of hold to spar deck, 17 feet; draft of
water at load line before plating, 11 feet 6 inches.
Her frame is of white oak, chestnut, Ac., which is
fastened in the securest manner possible with copper
and treenails. Her floors were moulded 15 inches,
sided 15 inches, and her frames were 30 inches
apart at centres! In addition to the above fasten
ing, iron straps, diagonally and doubly laid, 4£ by
2 inches, ran throughout tho hull) making her one
of the staunchest of her class of steamers afloat.
She is fitted with vertical-beam engines, with cy
linders 50 inches in diameter, and a stroke of piston
of 10 feet. She has two fine boilers, and her wa
ter-wheels are "0 feet in diameter, and of cast-iron.
Her burden is 1.400 tons. She was built in New
York in 3652 by Win. H. Webb. Her machinery
was constructed by the Morgan Iron Works, in the
same city.
The commandant of this intended piratical craft
is Captain Parrish, formerly of the New York nnd
Richmond Steam Navigation Company, and her
oth&x officers are men of the same stamp. You will
observe that n vessel of tho dimensions given above,
manned by a blood-thirsty crew, would commit
much depredation upon our commerce, and destroy
millions of property, if once let loose upon the
seas. She is represented as being well supplied
with heavy guns on her sides, and rifled pivots fore
and aft. Her guns oro well manned? and the ex
orcise of the men in perfecting them in their use
has been long nnd severe. She is also well supplied
with swords, pikes, cutlasses, pistols, Ac.: in fact,
her entire equipment is excellent in every respect.
She is tolernnly well provided with stores and pro
visions ; her machinery works well, and she is now
ready for a long cruise to fob and murder. This
she wiil do, if ever she is permitted to escape from
her at present very safe retreat. We earnestly
hope this will never occur, nnd now, ns attention
is called to the fact, nn excellent watch will be kept
upon her movements.
WAR NEWS.
THE REBEL ARMV
Little is known «t the North, or even at the South,
of the organization of the rebel army.
The report of L. P. Walker, the late rebel Se
cretary of War (General Braxton Bragg of Louisi
ana, having just been appointed in his place,) pre
sented in tTuly last to the Provisional Congress nt
Richmond. showed that up to that time one hun
dred and ninety-four regiments and thirty-two bat
talions hod been accepted into the service of the
rebel States, besides various detachments of artille
ry and companies of cavnlry not then organized
into regiments. In accordance with hi? suggestion,
that large additions should be made to the rebel
army, the Congress passed a law authorizing the
President to call for additional troops, so as to
make the entire fore consist of four hundred thou
sand men. Since then each seceded State, and
every one of the other Southern States, except Dela
ware* not avowedly engaged in the revolt, has con
tributed her quota to swell the increasing numbers,
until now they claim that their army is composed
of some three hundred avdfifty thousand men.
But as there has been much sickness in their
camps, and ns some of their regiments arc not fully
organized, the New York Herald gives a table of
the estimated strength of the rebel forces, which.
it thinks is calculated upon a liberal basis. The
estimates puts in the field one in every four of the
men in each seceded State, between the ages of
eighteen and forty-five, except the States of Geor
gia. North Carolina, and Louisiana, from which wc
have official statements of their exact numbers,
Trhlch show that those States have less than one in
six of their respective inale populations, between
eighteen and forty-five years of age, at present in
the service:

main body, or tm»re than one-half of the whole
number, on the Potntnnc, and the remainder scat
tered at different points in Virginia, on the scacoast,
and on the Mississippi river.
Even that is a liberal estimate. The Charleston
Mercury, of September 10, speaking of the rebel
army, uses this significant language; "Wo hare no
idea that the half million of men that Congress has
authorized will ever be raised, or the means for
their support ever be required. We find it difficult
to put an army of eighty thousand men together in
Virginia, and eighty thousand men is enough, and
we fonr more than enough, for any military use wo
can put them to.**
ILLINOIS TROui’S ORDERED TO WASHINGTON
The Government has directed Gen. Fremont to
send six of the Illinois regiments to Washington.
These will be tnken from the Illinois troops at
Cairo and Pt. Louis, and their places supplied with
regiments from Chicago, Peoria, and Camp Butler.
The regiment at Peoria, and the Douglas Brigade,
nt Chicago, hnve been ordered to St. Louis; Cob
Hovey’s regiment, at Camp Butler, to Ccntratia:
and Col. Carlin's regiment, at the same camp, is to
go southward, a? soon n& It Is equipped, which will
be in the course of the present week.
ARMV CORRESPONDENCE
General Scott bus issued a general order stating
that there arc irregularities in the correspondence
•of the army which need prompt oorrectiou. It is
highly important, he says, that junior officers on
duty be not permitted to correspond with the gene
ral-in-chief, or other commander, on current official
business, except through immediate commanders.
And the same rule applies to correspondence with
the President direct, or with him through the Se
cretary of War, unless it be by the special invitation
pr request of the President.
The Memphis Appeal say? the following seizures
have been made (or rather tho following arms have
been stolen by the rebels) since tho inception of
the Southern rebellion
Baton Rouge
Alabama Arsenal.
Elizabeth. N. 0...
Fayetteville, X. C
Charleston
Harper’s Ferry..
Norfolk
Other places
T0ta1....
The Stote aims previously purchased by the
States, it says, amounted to
Alabama 80,000
Virginia... 70,000
Louisiana 00,000
Georgia 120,000
South Carolina. -17,000
Mississippi
Florida..
“ The "rand total,” says the Charleston Mercury
Of .Tune 27, “ thus amounts to 707,000 stand of arms,
besides 200,000 revolvers, which are said to bo on
hand at various points. The abovo estimate docs
not include the arms owned by the States of Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, Maryland, and
Virginia, which would increaso the number to about
1,000,000. Besides this, there are thought to be
about 2,000.000 of private arms.”
It is very doubtful, however, that the number
stolen and the number purchased by the States is
near so large as those figures indicate, or that there
are in nddition 2,000,000 private arms.
