Late Southern News.
Tho Memphis Appeal favors a movement which
contemplates the establishment of a military high
school in that city. It says :
When peace is secured, and the difficulties at
tending revolution are over, it will be necessary for
the South to avail herself of every means by which
to hold her position and secure n proper standing in
the family of nations. To do thus she must be a
military power, her sons must be trained to military
discipline and acoustoraed to military evolutions.”
Hon. Kobkht H. Grump, Mayor of Vicksburg
died in that city on the 14th instant. °

AUGUSTA ARSENAL
A large number of operatives are now employed
at the Augusta ivrscTial, manufacturing cartridges,
balls, and other munitions of war, which are sent
to different point* of the Confederacy—to Rich
mond, Pensacola, Savannah. Charles toil, etc. The
amount of work of this sort daily done there U
prodigious.'
We understand, by the way, that our arsenal is
to be made tho principal ammunition depot for tho
CoofedeMte States. —Augusta {Ga.) Constitti
tionafis!.
THE ARKANSAS CROPS
In referring to tho crops in that vicinity, tho
Harrisburg (Ark.) Journal says that wheat and
oats were generally good. Tho crop of these is
said to be double that of any former year. Corn
is fast maturing, and the crop promises to be enor
mous. We are warranted hi saying that double or
treble the quantity of com will be made this year
in Arkansas than ever made before in ono yenr.
The cotton crop promises well, and though as much
ground may not have been planted, if the weather
continues favorable, the crop will equal that of
former years. Fruit is abundant. Tho apple, pear,
peach, plum, apd other trees are laden. Irish
potatoes ore plentiful. Sweet potatoes —a crop of
no mean importance—are growing finely. The
Jack sou port Herald is informed by competent
judges that never has there been such a general
yield of produce known in that section. The
gathered crops have been enormous, and the
growing crops, especially coni, promise to bo
double or treble the quantity ever made known
before in one year.
RUMORED PROJECT TO ATTACK rORI'HESS MONROE
The Richmond correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury, in a letter dated August 6, intimates a
probability that Fortress Monroe will be speedily
attacked. Ho says:
It is known that the Federal force issranll there at
present. A large portion of what was there was
withdrawn, and sent to Washington, under the ap
prehension that the Federal capital was in immi
nent danger of being taken after the battle of
Mi.nassas. There are but two small war vessels
near at present. There are not more than four or
five thousand Federal troops at Newport Nows, if
as many. General Magruder has some eighteen to
twenty thousand men, than whom there is none bet
ter in the world for such a dangerous enterprise.
The fortress, on the land side, which is approached
by the way of Newport News, is tho weakest part
of it, though that is strong, doubtless, und has been
greatly strengthened since the war began. But it
is not impregnable. If Magrudcr. with his power
ful force. drives the enemy from Newport News,
they will retreat or run towards tho fortress, which
is but a few miles distant. If the forces in the for
tress come out to support their friends, Magruder
fra? men enough, and of the right sort, to signally
defeat them. If they remain in their stronghold,
and use their guns, they must fire first upon their
own troops, which will be fleeing in advance of
ours. Tim first question is, then, cun Magruder
drive them from their entrenchments at Newport
News, and pursue them to Fortress Monroe ? His
overwhelming numbers, the high character he bears
for daring, brilliant achievements, und tho dauntless
bravery of bis men, would make success highly pro
bable. That being accomplished, the next ques
tion is, oan he enter the fortress ? If the enemy
come out to succor their retreating friends ho would
defeat them. If they use their guns without
coming out, they would destroy the Federal troops
seeking their protection. In any ease it is likely
they would be seized with a pnnic and make but a
feeble defence. The contrary may happen, and
our brave troops may meet with a more desperate
resistance than is believed. Whatever may be the
result, I have reason to believe that tho attempt
will be made. I have the information from a
highly credible sourc-c—a party stationed near
Newport News, under Magruder, who returns lor
the purpose of participating in tho attack. Gene
ral Magruder has been making preparations for
some time past, and is, I understand, well pre
pared with scaling-ladders and every appliance for
the undertaking. Such an important movement*
if successful. Will have the most extraordinary re
sults at home and abroad. It would be the natural
corollary of the battle of Manassas, than which
great event it would be scarcely less important.
Bankhead Magruder lias done glorious deeds at
Great Bethel, in Moxica, and elsewhere, but this
would be the crowning act of all.
SUE HKRIUKAC CONVERTED INTO A FLOATING
BATTERY
The Memphis Ap2*eal has the following :
l - It would £eem that the hull of the ATcrrimac,
at Norfolk, is being converted into an iron-cased
battery. If so, sac will be n floating fortress that
will be able to defeat the whole navy of the United
States and bombard its cities. Her great size,
strength, powerful engines mid speed, combined
with the invulnerability secured by the >rou casing,
will make the dispersal or destruction of the block
ade fleet an easy task for her. Her immense ton
nage will enable her to carry an armor proof aguinst
any projectile, and she could entertain herself by
throwing bombs into Fortress Monroe, even, without
risk, no hope soon to hoar that she is ready to
commence her avenging career on the seas.”
THE JIAUPTOK LEGION.
The Richmond Enquirer says: It has been de
cided to change the formation of the Hampton Le
gion. The infantry battalion is to -be increased to
a regiment of ten companies, the cavalry will com
prise five companies, and there will be an increase
of fit-id pieces iu their company of flying artillery.
With those numbers Colonel Hampton will be doubt*
less raised to the rank of Brigadier and the infantry
regiment will have a colonel, lieutenant-colonel,
and major. The officers of cavalry and artillery
wHI be the same as formerly.
THE MILITARY HOSPITAL AT PENSACOLA.
The Observer of the Bth inst. has a description
of this institution.
The building is large and well ventilated ; it is
kept fts ctoftn- and neat os a parlor; the situation
most excellently adapted and suited for the pur
pose, and last, though not least, by any means, the
attendant* are faithful! kind, and attentive, usin<r
their efforts at all hours for the alleviation of the
afflicted soldier.
SUPREME COURT OF THE REBEL STATES.
4he Confederate States Supreme Court will hold
no session until it shall be organized under the pro
virioiw of the permanent constitution* Under tlic
constitution of the provisional government it was
provided that the Supreme Court shall be consti
tuted of all the district judges, and shall sit at bucli
times and places as Congress shall appoint. Under
the permanent constitution, however, the Supreme
Gsurt has not been established; during the existing
hiatus in our judiciary system the clerks of district
courts are empowered to issue writs of error with
the same force and as if bsued out of the Supreme
Court, and returnable on the second Monday of its
first term after its establishment.
BLOCKADE ITEMS.
The Savannah Republican of the 10th instant,
speaking of the blockade of the port of Fernaadino.
Florida, says:
ThO blockade off this port is much more strict
since the burning of the prize bark Alvarado, on
Monday last. In addition to the war-sloop (sup
posed to be the Vince7i7ies) a propeller is seen
hovering about the bar. The Federalists seem de
termined that no. more prize vessels shall approach
our harbor, even as near as the Alvarado came,
which was about a mile and a half from the shore.
The destruction of the bark's cargo was not total
after nil. There has been saved from the wreck
about $1&0. 000 worth of wool and copper, which
arc ia charge of Colonel L. Dozier, Prize Commis
sioner. The Yankee captain of the bark and his
wife—who hauled up the United States flag Union
down on the bark after the prize left her—are in
custody of Colonel IV. J. Dihvorth, commanding
the forces at this post, and will be by him forward
ed to Richmond by the next trip of the St. Johns.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 10th says:
A notice appeared in this paper yesterday morn
ing relative to reported proceedings of Admiral
J>unia» with reference to the blockade. For this
information it turns out there was no foundation
■whatever. The British consul in this City knOWo
nothing of u:iy communication from the Admiral,
through Lord‘Lyons, to the Northern President on
the subject; in fact, Admirul Dundas is not in com
mand on our coast. The story was made up out of
whole cloth by some one.
The Charleston Courier of the 12th inst says:
The steamer Gen. Clinch., Capt. E. O. Harden,
arrived here yesterday from Savannah and inter
mediate points. Capt. M. informs us that there
were two vessels, apparently both steamers, block
ading Savannah. The Clinch came out at South
Edislo and put into North Edisto on Sunday, but
there was nothing in sight. On Friday lasts war
steamer laid at anchor for some time off North
Edisto, but has not been seen since.
PHILADELPHIA PBUKJNKP.S IX’CHARLESTON
The following prisoners of war (many of them
Philadelphians) reached Charleston on the steamer
General Clinch, on the 11th insfc. :

FURTHER DEPREDATIONS OF THE SUMPTER.
The Tampa (Fla.) Peninsula , of the 3d
has the following, which our readers arc at liberty
to believe if they choose :
“ We have been placed in possession of informa
tion which, if true, will produce a thrill of grati
tude throughout the South equal to that caused by
the nows of the great buttle of Mannas. Messrs.
D. Archer and H. McLeod, who arrived at this
place—the former on Sunday, and the latter on
Wednesday last—both bring intelligence that the
Confederate States steamer Sumpter besides
capturing seven prizes, sunk the Federal war
Steamers Crusader, Mo/taw/:, and Wyandotte ,
and that among the prisoners taken is the infamous
Captain Craven, of the Crusader. From the above
it appeal's that the little Confederate steamer is
creating quite a sensation among the Lincolnitcson
the Gulf.
MOVEMENTS OF LEE AND P.OSKNCEANZ.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette com
mumcatcs the following particulars to that journal,
under date of the 14th last.:
Three days ago, in first alluding to the presence
of Lee beyond the Cheat Mountain Gaps, I ex
pressed the belief that if he did make an attempt
to enter this country, he would hardly try to storm
the fortified Cheat Mountain Gaps, but would en
deavor to cut a new road over what has been sup
posed an impassable mountain range, and make a
flank movement on the forces that were awaiting
his attack in front. Then little or nothing was said
of his movements, but now the air is thick with ru
mors that ho is Cutting a road through the moun
tains; that he is delaying until , he eon draw our
forces to the Gaps; that he then may make a rapid
rush post them to Beverly, and hurry on to Graf
ton and the key to our railroad communication.
Of this plan—if plan it be—and of our movement
to resist it, or any other attempt the enemy may
make, it need only be snid that Gen. Rosencrunz is
supposed to be maturing ample preparations. Mean
while the reviving hopes of tho Secessionist* may
be observed in an infallible barometer. Those who
arc fa miliar with the Philippi. Laurel Hill, and
Rich Mountain campaign, will remember what an
outburst of guerilla there was through alt
this section of Western Virginia, just before the more
serious operations began. Already something of tho
same kind is beginning to bo noticeable again.
Every day or two wo hear of some of our men being
shot at from behind the bushes at the roadside; but
yesterday a teamster told mo of being fired upon
while driving a United States team between hore
and Weston, and to-day thoro come stories of ft
ekirnijsh between a handful of our men nnd a bund
of native Secessionists, but a dozen miles from here,
on the road to Pruntytown, in which several nro
said to have been killed.
lIOW FREMONT WORKS
A gentleman who called upon Goneral Fremont
at St. Louis, n few days ago, on business of no lees
importance than the equipment of a full regiment
of cavalry, says that the following conversation
took place:
Gen, Fremont, lean give you a few minutes i
but bo brief and pointed, as my time is very much
occupied.
Colonel . lam of . My men are
all enlisted : here are my muster rolls. My buys
are ready at tho bugle call. I am elected their

references ?
Colonel . Mr. and Mr. .
General Fremont. Very well—call to-morrow
wovniug, at ten minutes past four o'clock, and you
shall have your answer, and, if I accede to your
wishes, your papers will be ready.
At ten minutes past four, precisely, our informant
was at the tfcncntUn door, which flew open ut his
demand. At this early hour the General was at his
table, with Iho papers before him. The (Solouel
made his bow, and was saluted thus :
General Fremont. Hero arc your documents,
which will got you your equipments. Make haste
and report yourself with your command to General
, and let me hoar a good report of you, as I
have no doubt I shall, from what your references

their turn for an audience.

AN IMPORTANT AHWEST FOR TREASON —SENATOR
BRIGHT, OF INDIANA, IMPLICATED.
[From the Ciocimiuti Gazette, 19th.]
About two weeks since information was received
by the Custom House officers of the city that ono
Thomas. B. Lincoln, a' prominent citizen of Texas,
nnd an ardent sympathizer with the rebel Govern
ment. was on Lis way to Cincinnati—that he had iu
his possession documents that would warrant his ar
rest on a charge of treason. Collector Carson im
mediately put his deputies, Messrs. Pollock and
Rose, on the track of the individual. Ho arrived
here early last week, and took rooms at tho
Madison House. His movements were close
ly watched by Messrs. Rose and Pollock, until on
.Saturday last, fearing their bird might fly, they
got United States Marshal Sands to cage him.
When arrested, he inquired what was the mutter
with all tho astonishment of conscious innoconcc.
On being iuformed that he was suspected of being a
spy. he replied that the suspicion was unfounded,
asd that even if it were correct he was too sharp to
have any evidence of it about him. Hu said he wus
a citizen of Texas, and participated in the Manassas
buttle on the Confederate side. He was taken to
the Marshal's office late in the afternoon, and trans
ferred Ihenec to tho county jail to await an examina
tion before United Stales Commissioner Hullulay at
9 A. M. to-day.
On searching his trunk the following documents
were found:
Washington, D. C., March 1.
'Jo his Excellency Jefferson Davis. President
of the Confederation oj'States:
My Beak Sir : Allow me to introduce to vour
acquaintance my friend. Thomas B. Lincoln, of
Texas, lie visits your capital mainly to dispose of
what he regards a great improvement in firearm*.
I commend him to your favorable consideration as a
gentleman of the first respectability, and reliable in
every respect. Very truly yours.
{Private and Confidential.]
Mv Dear Sir : I have had an interview at last
al tiic Department, and am to have another in a few
days. Thiugs look pretty well. I will see you this
evening or to-morrow morning.
Truly yours,
Beverly Tucker.
The following pass from the Secretary of War
gave him permission to travel within the Southern
lines:
CONFEDKR A7H STATES OF AMERICA, )
IVati Dkpautsiknt,Richmond. Aug. 1, iSGI. \
T. B. Lincoln has permission to visit Nashville,
upon his honor as a man that ho will not communi
cate in writing or verbally for publication any fact
ascertained by him. L. P. Walker,
Secretary of War.
In addition to the above, there were found a
number of letters from Southern gentlemen en
dorsing Mr. L. as one sound on the Secession ques
tion, viewed from a Dixinnic stand-point; also, a
proposition from Wm. H Stokes, of Louisville, to
make artillery harness, knapsacks, belts, etc., for
the Secession army.
Mr. Lincoln is said to be the inventor of a gun
newly patented at Richmond, and in use in the
Confederate army. He says he is an advocate of
Southern rights, but denies that he is or has been
acting as a spy.
The examination this morning will reveal a great
many facts which we arc not at liberty to publish
this morning.
Ileenniv * a Challenge for the Championship,
[From ‘Wilkeis 1 fcrpirit of the Timcsi]
The following spirited letter, drawn forth by the
recent sneer.-? at ifeenan in the Loudon Sporting
Press, has just been sent to us from Washington,
by the American Champion. It will, doubtless, be
read with interest by every man in the country :
54 Washington, August 15,1801.
4; To the Editor of Wilkes' Spirit: Dear Sir -
la consequence of certain remarks that have re
cently appeared in English journals, in which my
name is again brought forward in connoction with
the championship, I wish, through you, to say a
word. It is said that Mace, now that he is
champion, desires, above all things, to meet me;
and it is also said that he is willing to make a match
for the championship, and for as much more as
£2,000 a side. Now, if there is any sincerity in
this offer, it affords me an opportunity to say what
I will do.
“ Notwithstanding the unfair manner I was dealt
by, when I was in England (from which I entirely
acquit Tom Sayers), I am willing to try her maxim
of fair play oneo more, and will fight the be3t man
that England can produce, for the sum of £2,000 a
side; and if H&ee is thought to be her best man, I
will, of course, tight him. I allude to him-in this
wav, because I do not think he is her best man, and
because, when I was in Eugland last, I wo3 fre
quently abused by many writers for the reason that
Tom Sayers was a smaller man than myself. 3
t: ln making this offer. I. of course, intend to in
clude the winner of the pending match for the
Championship, between Mace and King, and,
though 1 consider that I already own the belt, you
may. as a matter of form, challenge for that too.
Lot mo say. however, that-in Consequence of the
manner in which I was hunted and harassed, when
endeavoring to train before, and, also, in conse
quence of the ruffianly treatment I received from
tne crowd, at Farnborough, at the conclusion of my
fight with Sayers. I wo>:ld prefer to tight Mace, or
his conqueror, or whoever the selected man maybe,
on this side of the Atlantic—say in Canada. In that
case, I would relinquish to him, out of the main
stake. .£ “>l)0, for his expenses, and give him a bond
in £J.oUd more, guarantying against- any private
interference with the fight, in m3' behalf. If, on
the other hand, I am required to go to England, I
shall expect lire same allowance, and an equal
guarantee.
t; On these terms (which I believe arc as fair as
can be made) 1 will meet Mace, or any other man
Englishmen may prefer, for the championship of
the two hemispheres : and, if the latter portion of
my offer is the most acceptable, I will go to Eng
land, as I went before, alone and without local
influence, and test again, by a still more deliberate
verdict, the force of that other British maxim,
which infers that the best man may be allowed
to win, even though he be u stranger) and not a
Briton bom.
** Please scud these views of mine forward, and,
whenever you get an answer, and will notify .me of
it, I will place in your, or any indicated hands, as
much money as tho other parties may require to
bind the match, or as a first deposit. Hoping
earnestly that you may succeed in having this
match made,'or, if declined, that there may be an
end of pretended English .offers in connection with
m3* name, I remain,
** Yours, respectfully,
“John C. Heexax.”
The above letter puts the subject-matter in as
clear a light as possible, and the parties in England
who have put forward the name of Macc, for a ten
thousand dollar contest, must make good their
vaunt at once, or take to the water, and ever after
hold their peace. The terms offered by Hcenan.
in reply to their boasting proclamations, are not
only fair, but magnanimous to the last degree, for
ho yields them English ground for the battle, even
on this side of the Atlantic; and, should it he re
fused, he, in face of the preat discouragement of
previous experience, is willing to take the risks of
English prejudice once more. If, therefore, these
terms arc not olosed with by the Mace party, or by
some one else fur England, wc shall conclude that
they do not ‘ 4 mean business ” over there, so long
as lleenan is in the field; or that the sense of honor
which withheld the English belt from him, after he
had forced the British Champion to lay it down, is
not very much improved.
Als ew Codfish Bask.—A curious discovery
hns boon lately made in the North Atlantic by some
Scotch fishermen—-nothing less than a rock in mid
ocean, whose base is the home of innumerable cod
fish, who, being unacquainted with the appearance
of a hook and line, bite sharply, and fall an easy
prey to eager fishermen. An English paper says:
li Mr. T. Dawson, medical officer, North Isles, writes
to the Times to announce an important discovery.
It is nothing less than a new hank of cod, at a place
called Rockall, three hundred and sixty miles south
of North Isles. The bank was discovered by Capt.
Bhodc. a , a muster of the Resolution , of London, who
had a hint of its existence thirteen years ago from
the mate of an Irish vessel. He sailed with two
vessels on the 2d July, and roturnod on the 13th of
the same month with twenty-seven tons of the largest
cod. Mr. Dawson says the hank is haunted by blue
sharks; but according to Capt. Rhodes they caught
the fish as fast as they could pull. The livers of the
cod, he states, were also very rich, and produced
large quantities of oil. He has examined the cod;
they arc very large and very thick; the tusks arc
▼cry thick and fat, hut shorter than usual, while the
ling arc the same as those caught at other places.
This solitary rock in the ocean, which will for a
time become tho El Dorado of our cod smacks, rises
about the height of a ship above tho sea.
Characteristic Anecdote of McClellan.
—N. P. Willis, in a footnote to his “ Lookings on at
the War,” relates the following passing remark of
Gen. McClellan:
'A very distinguished civilian, who had called
upon him that afternoon on some matter of im
portance, concluded his visit by a general comment
or two on the state of affairs, venturing u question,
at last, as to what McClellan thought of our army's
probable recovery from the late defeat.
11 X do not think,” musingly replied the hero of
Western Virginia, “ that they will whip us again;
but if they do, there will bo two men left dead on
the field—l shall be one, and Lander will be the
other.”
A Brave Girl. —A heroic exploit is told of a
beautiful young woman in the village of Sninolli. in
Southern Italy. The house of her uncle, a Liberal
priest, wa? invaded by some twenty brigand ruf
fians. One of the leaders was amusing himself by
the poor priest, who was old, when the girl
ruJicd in, flung herself on him, nnd simlched in
an instant, the brace of revolvers he had in his belt,
and shot him dead. She ran through all the rooms,
firing upon every brigand sho found engaged
iu plundering the house. She shot down four of
them. Alarmed nt this unexpected attack, and not
knowing what to make of it, the ruffian* in the
other rooms ran out. She, still pursuing them, suc
ceeded, before they could get a knowledge of tho
enemy they had to encounter, in closing tho front
door ftgninst them. The brigands attempted to set
firo to the house. From the balcony she put out an
old musket belonging to her unde.* nnd fired upon
them again, and then, displaying from tho window
a tri-colored flug. cried Viva Garibaldi, with all
her strength. Tho miscreants fired an ineffectual
shot or two, and fairly ran for it. A few moments
after a captain of bcrsagliert, who just came up.
found the exhausted girlin u faint upon the dead
body of her uncle.

Fall of an Aerolite. —Tho London Times
has an account by an eye-witness of the fall of an
aerolite of enormous size. A rushing sound, gra
dually increasing in intensity, made itself heard,
until at lost, with a terrific roar, a flaming mass
plunged into the road. Laborers wore called, and
succeeded in disinterring what proved a most mag
nificent aerolite, the weight being 83* pounds. It
had buried itself nearly six feet in the ground, and
was red-hot when reached. While cooling, the
crystals assumed, while constantly changing, tho
most beautiful prismatic hues. Its specific gravity
was greater than that of iron. A strong smell of
sulphur was diffused immediately after the descent,
and several crystals of that element were found in
the cavities on tho upper surface.— N. Y. Sun.
To Cukck the Flow of Blood. —Blood may
be made to cease to flow as follows : Take the fine
dust of tea and bind it close to the wound ; at all
times accessible nnd easily to bo obtained. After
the blood has ceased to flow, laudanum may be ad
vantageously applied to the wound. Due regard to
these instructions would save agitation of mind,
and running for the surgeon, who would, proba
bly, muke no better prescription if he was present.
