Recent accounts state that our colored soldiers captured at Plymouth, X. .C., were murdered. SO,OUO militia are to be organized in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, lowa and \\ isconsin, and some sav Pennsylvania. for border service for 100 days. Gold is again quoted at over 80 premium—being the last agony of the stock gamblers, who will soon we hope smash up root and branch, die in the poor house, or rot in the gutters. News is hourly expected of move ments by Grant s and Lee's armies. 1 here seems to have been some mis management. both naval and military, j in North Carolina, which resulted In the destruction of one or two eunboats at 1 iymouth, and, according to rebel accounts, the capture of that place with its garrison and stores. An iron clad in those waters would have pre vented the rebel ram from inflrctintr injury, and if held at all, the place ought to have been garrisoned by a larger force, ibis scattering of troops into forces of one or two thousand men at exposed points is to say the Jeast unwise. henever you see the Democrat •bragging about a dozen or more new subscribers, you might safely swear several have stopped the torv sheet. —Godey's Lady's Book for May is ft splendid number, full of literary life, engravings, and things useful and amu sing.

The Battles in Western Louisiana. A correspondent at 2sew Orleans fends us the fullowing account of the reeeDt battles in Louisiana, as publish ed in the Era of the 14th. and adds that in his opinion if an}* advantage has been gained the Union forces have the best of it : We received, this morning, intelli gence from our army in Western Louisiana of the highest importance. A fiercely contested battle, of two days' duration, has been fought, in which the enemy were badly whipped, and driven back after the stubborn and desperate resistance: On Friday, April Sth. Gen. Lee's Cavalry, 5000 men, while advancing towards Mansfield, was suddenly at tacked, by a superior force of the enemy under Poiignae, Dick Taylor. Green and Kirby Smith, numbering some 20,000 men, who were concealed in ambush. A desperate encounter ensued, artil lery being used on both sides. The rebels were supported with a strong force of infantry, while Gen. Lee wa not. A brigade of the 13th Armv Corps was sent for, but failed to check the rebels from pressing our lines. Another Division was sent for and. this too Avas unable to cope against such overwhelming numbers. Finally the balance of the loth Corps, under Gen. Ilamson was sent to the assistance of the Union forces, but af ter a contest almost unparalleled for daring and bravery, our forces were compelled to fall back. The rebels pressed on and captured two or three of our batteries, but these were retaken by a gallant charge of the infantry. Oar troops continued to fall back in good order, fighting gallantly, until the 10th Arm}* Corps, which had been hurried to the front, arrived on the ground. These fresh troops delivered six or eight Ave 11 directed volleys into the ranks of the advancing enemy. A'ot prepared to receive such a shock, the enemy in turn broke, and fled, leaving in our hands 700 prisoners and six pieces of artillery. Our troops having taken up a posi tion at Pleasant Hill, were attacked on Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock. (ien. Banks commanded in person, and Avas seen everywhere in the thick est of the fight, inspiring the troops with his presence throughout the en tire engagement. Ihe battle A\-as fought in an open plain, and resulted in a complete victo ry for the L'nion arms. The 19th Corps was thrown forward, and the loth was massed under its brave and experienced commander! Gen. Smith. • The enemy came on impetuously, and Avas received by the Hth, which steadily fell back fighting, until it had retired upon the 10th. He was then charged, and a hot and desperate en- j counter ensued, our troops coming out! victorious and the enemy being repulsed at every point. He rallied. hoAve\-er,and about night fall made a last and most desperate ef fort to retrieve the day. A terrible conflict followed, in which both sides displayed the utmost valor and daring; i but the banner of the Union was everjAvhere victorious; the rebels were driven in complete panic four miles, lea A"ing his dead and wounded on the field. We have no means of ascertaining accurately the losses on either side. The rebels suffered severely on the first day and terribly on the second. Among his killed (we believe on Fri day) was Gen. Mouton, an officer well known in this city, and conspicuous in the rebel army last year. Our main loss was sustained by the 13th Army Corps on Saturday. " The casualties in killed, wounded and miss ing exceed fifteen thousand. Another account of this battle, clo ses as follows : Now cair e the grand rovp de main. The 19th, on arriving at the top of the hill, suddenly filed over the hill, and passed through the linesof Gen. Smith* We must here mention that the rebels were now .but in two lines of battle, the first haying been almost entirely annihilated by Gen. Emory, what re mained having been forced back into the second line. But these two lines came on uxultant and sure of victory. The Irst passed the knoll, and, all heedless of tlie long line of cannons and crouching forms of as brave men as ever trod mother earth, passed on. The second line appeared on the crest, and the death signal was sounded. Words cannot describe the awful ef fects of this discharge. Seven thou sand rifles, and several batteries of artillery loaded to the muzzle with grape and canister, were fired simul taneously, and the whole centre of the rebel line was crushed down as a field ol ripe wheat through which a torna do had passed. It is estimated that one thousand men were hurled into eternity or frightfully mangled by this one discharge. No time was given them to recover their good order, but Gen. Smith or dered a charge, ard his men dashed rapidly forward, the boys of the 19th joined in. The rebels fought boldly and desperately back to the timber, on reaching which a large portion broke and fled ; fully two thousand throwing aside their arms. In this charge Tay lor s battery was retaken, as were also two of the guns of Nim's battery, the Parrott gun taken from us at Carrion Crow last fail, and one or two others belonging to the rebels, one of which was considerably shattered, besides seven hundred prisoners. A pursuit and desultory fight was kept up tor three miles, when our men returned to the field of battle. And thus ended this fearful and bloody struggle for the control of Western Louisiana. The Fort billow Massacre. Additional evidence, confirmatory of the horrible deeds of butchery at Fort Pillow, comes to us daily, jhe last piece of tcs timony isyliat ot an eye-witness, who writes as follow* to the Springfield (Illinois) State Journal: " Blue uniforms to the number of forty were counted shrouding the dead bodies of the slain martyrs. In all positions they lay —many w-.re lying head downward on the bank at the edge of the water, hav ing been driven backward to the river and then shot or stabbed till they fell. About three hundred blacks had been driven in to the river and drowned. " After all the white men except those on board our boat were killed, the few ne groes left were ordered to bury the dead in trenches— they acre then made to dig a d' 'eh for themselves, and were shot and thrown into it. The following morning the shooting of negroes was resumed, and many who had escap>ed the night before were now discovered and met their fate. '•J'onie of the sabre gashes were fright ful. Lyes shot out, helids laid open till the brains oozed out, and many were shot through both lungs. Most of the wounds were in the bowels and lungs, and some of the men had from five to nine wounds.— The legs of one man were both crushed, and one boy, not yet fifteen, had both legs and his back broken. Scarcely anv had less than two or three severe wounds. 4, 1 here is no doubt that the murderers intended every one should die. Nearly all the wounded could talk when first brought on board, and they all told the same story, f here were no contradictions in their state ments, and every one assured me he was unwounded when he gave himself up a prisoner. The hospital was fired , o/<d the sick and wounded burned without mer cy, and one sick man brought on the boat, who had escaped, told me himself that the Rebels came to his tent and deliberately set fire to it." CbrreiponJtnre of iht Gfize'ic. NEW ORLEANS, LA. April IS, 1864. Mr. E<htnr : —Being oft'from work to-night I thought 1 wouki pen vou a tew lines, liie election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention pass ed oft' very quietly, and resulted in a complete triumph for the Free State party. This party is growing in strength, and will soon have the State under their protective wings. The Convention met on the 6th"inst., but up to the present time no important move has been made towards the revi sion of the Constitution. Much time has been spent in organizing the Conven tion, settling the pay of its members, &e. Nothing definite has however been done, but to discuss these unim portant questions. A great number of the Delegates are persons who have settled here since the capture of this place by Gen. Butler—mostly from the New England States. This of it self is evidence sufficient that confi dence is not placed in the people of the Stato. Some two or three of the members elect of the Convetion re signed their seats last week because the Convention decided that each and every member should take the Presi dent's iron-clad. Some refused, and re signed their seats in consequence. I am now at work in the "Era" of fice of this city j having been granted the privilege by the commander of our camp, and approved by the Provost Marshal. Printers are scarce here. They are now paying 60 cents per thousand ems. The parole camp has been removed to Lake Pontchartrain, where the boys have good comfortable quarters, and seem to like it equally as well as when in the city. The .Rebel prisoners now occupy our old camp, and are heavily guarded. There are some three hun dred of them, and more are reported on the way. Almost every ship that arrives from Texas brings as a portion of her Joud from one hundred to two hundred refugees. There are a great many here now. They give a doleful account of the sufferings endured— persecutions, revilings, &c. to which they were compelled to submit. Gov. Yates made a speech to the Il linois troops in this locality a few days ago. Citizens and soldiers turned out en masse to hear him. In mydast letter I told you that two hundred of the paroled prisoners here had been ex changed. I was mistaken; only a list for exchange was taken, and they still remain in camp. There lias been several arrivals here from Pennsylvania. Samuel Steele from Huntindon county, another young man from our county, whose name I at present cannot call to mind. Mr. Steele is a young man of excellent business qualification, and is now a clerk in some A. Q. M.'s office. All Lewistown folks are well and enjoying themselves hugely in this great city. CHARLES E. THOMAS. —A correspondent of the Chicago Journal, writing from Chattanooga, states that four hundred men from {he North, employed as Government la borers on the railroads in that depart ment, have been paid off and discharged for turbulent conduct, and are to be consigned, under a guard, to the re gions beyond the Ohio. Undoubtedly the most of them are persons who letl their home for the purpose of avoiding enrollment and the draft, and General : Stedman has very properly caused a list of the ignoble four hundred-to be prepared and forwarded to the Provost Marshals for their consideration. The same writer says that since February 20 thirty-two regiments of re-enlisted veterans have had their furloughs and returned to the front. The Tax Bill.

It scores out, drops, covers and rolls at the one operation, is so constructed that it will plant at a unit rm depth and can be alt ered to plant at any depth desired. 2. It distributes the corn with a degree of regularity not to be attained by any other mode, the plants being 12 inches apart or if desired by changing the pinion 14 inches apart. 3. The Corn being planted in a straight line allows the fanner to cultivate the plants close to both sides, and thereby gives him an opportunity to work the ground better than if planted in any other way. 4. The experience of those who have used this planter is that the yield is a large per cent, greater than that planted by any other mode, and there is also u great saviug of la bor. PRICE 24 DOLLARS.
