RELIGIOUS Elocution in the Pulpit No. £, DV GRAVBEARD It is to be hoped that the interest recently awakened on the subject of Pulpit Oratory will result in something moro practical than more talk. It is unnecessary to argue the want of better elocu tionary training in tho clerical profession, both in England and America, os it is an admitted fact. In a new country like ours, where the institutions of learning nro coiqparativcly young, there is some excuse for this; still, we ought to improve with age. So far ns the pulpit is concerned, this has not been realized. On the other hand, we have relrogTadiVd. If we look for tho host pulpit ora tors of American production, wo shall find them not in the present, but in a preceding generation. In mere learning and thcolog cal soundness, perhaps, this rule may not apply; but in tho mutter of do livering a sermon effectively—of elocutionizing— of suiting action to the word, and sound to tho sense—the fame of American pulpit eloquence rests not on tho young and middle-aged of to'-day, but upon tho thinned ranks of a class of older divines, now passing away. It may bo said that a long life of practice ought to produce greater proficiency ; but the effect here referred to is, in a measure, at lonsti nltrihutfiblo to a different cause, Until within the last thirty years, young men wero trained for the ministry under private tutor age. Then it was not uncommon for a cler gyman of ropntJitioTi ns a preachur to make his residence a kind of private seminary, and devote a considerable portion of his time to preparing stu dents for the pastoral office. The duties thus im posed. u AS 1*614, ,J had a most Salu tary effect upon the mind and habits of the teacher, as contrasted with the more recluse custom of cler gymen in our own day, who spend their years in close retirement, until they become ns unsocial as their sermons nro unprofitable. Nor was the effect of this domestic, but practical sort of training less potent for good upon the students themselves. They were early required to “ think on their legs” andj&pcak their thoughts under a cross-fire of rigid criticism from teacher and fellow students. Such a process in ft moro public way would, no doubt, haru been a more trying ordeal; yet* we may ask, is there not something suggestive in this good old way, and its telling effect upon a former period, that may be of service in remodeling our public institutions of learning in this woak point ? To a great extent, if not entirely) this ancient plan of making preachers has been superseded by the college and seminary. In these, the divine nrt of oratory is either wholly neglected, or but ia offiiftentljr taught. It Is, of coarse, not surprising that in founding theological institutions the moro radical and fundamental branches should be pro vided for first, and in this country, at least, it is no undue leniency to say that the exclusion of elocu tion from them, as a distinctive branch, results more from their being inadequately endowed, than from y deputation of importance* AVe are not willing to believe, because here and there a fossilized clergyman is found who regards good speaking and reading as a worldly ac complishment unbecoming tho sacred desk, that, therefore, tbe cultivation of voice and jesluro is systematically ignored by the profession. Such men do not make or direct public opinion; it would not be well if they did ; for the same warped intel lect tflat would crump nature in the human voioo, in the utterance of God’s truth, would, if it had (he power, chide the brooks for murmuring, and the birds for singing on the Sabbath, and, if within hearing distance 7 hush Niagara’s roar the year round. It is time now, however, that moro efficient at tention should be given to this important branch of clerical education. Tho order rccontly issued by Dishop Wigrain, regarding tho qualifications of voice and manner in candidates for orders, has di rected public attention to the subject in England, and as the daughter is leading her traos-Atlantic moth or in all other matters involving progwss And utility, there is no reason why we should?not toko the lead in this. There is, according to the best in formation we have been able to obtain upon the snfajQfit, not in England, Scotland, Ireland, $r Wales to-day a single educational establishment that provides for teaching its pupils how to read and elocutionize. The facilities for imparting thi9 class of instruction here are but little better; though there are signs of improvement. Within a year or two the Western Theological Seminary, at Alle gheny city, this State, in the interest of the Old School Presbyterian denomination, has devoted a Chair, now occupied by Professor Wm, M. Pax ton, D. I)., exclusively to Sacred Khetoric, which includes theoretical and practical instruc tion in the art of composing and delivering sermons. In the Theological Seminaries at Prince ton, and in Prince Edward’s county, Virginia, be longing to the same denomination, the department of Sacred Rhetoric is also recognized, hut not in a distinct professorship. In the seminary of the Re formed Dutch Church, at New Brunswick, special instructions are also given in this branch, by Prof. Woolbridge, the students who are sufficiently ad- V&Bft&l bei&g F£qui?£d twice a week to preach be fore (tic professors and students for criticism. Still, it cannot be denied that for efficient instruction in elocution per se theologioal students at this, and nil ether similar institutions are obliged to employ travelling teachers of elocution to instruct them or go untaught; for it is one thing to appropriate a chair, and quite another to have it filled with a competent professor in a department that has been hitherto ao generally negiected. This department at IS UW Brunswick was for a short time in charge of Dr. Dethune, an orator born, and an accomplished elo cutionist, but other duties soon removed him to another field. In the theological department Of Yale College, while the chair devoted to Pastoral Theology was occupied by the late Chauncey Allen Goodrich, D. D., the latter made Pulpit Eloijuenoe a specialty. She seminary at Andover, JVIa.9., a Congregational institution, was one of the first to recognize the claims of elocution by combining it with another department. In the various Baptist institutions of Amorica, the study of elocution is nominally included among the branches taught;, but we have yet to hear the ' first Baptist clergyman who reads and speaks well, to givo the credit of it to his educational advantages while a student. The great difficulty in the way of se curing a higher culture in this department will un doubtedly be in procuring adequately qualified professors. In this rospeot, wo cannot help think ing that the Philadelphia Divinity School (an Epis copal institution lately founded upon the ruins of their Seminary, at Alexandria, the details of which have already been given in these columns) has been peculiarly fortunate in its aeleetion of Kev. Dr. Stevens—Assistant Bishop elect of Pennsylva nia—for the Chair of Pulpit Eloquenco and Litur gies. Dr. Stevens, who was, for several years, f rcftim of Belles Lettres and Oratory in tho Uni* versify of Georgia, is at onee a profound scholar, a classic orator, and an excellent elocutionist. The routine he has adopted since entering upon his new prefcsswttte is of the moat thorough and prac tical character, and we hope the step now taken in Philadelphia will bo followed up in other places. Good reading lies at the foundation of good speak ing, and no man can be a good reader unless he baa command of bis voice. Action is, of course, important; in the estimation of Demosthenes, it was paramount; yet the graces of action, combined with the greatest learning, in deliberative oratory, (which is the class best suited to the pulpit,) with out proper modulation, intonation, and accent in speaking, cannot make on orator. The fact that the ministers of the Gospel, through all time, who hove left the deepest impression upon the World, have, with rare exceptions, boon men Of eloquence, should alone stimulate a higher culture of this invaluable gift. Nor will it be long befsre this delinquency must be remedied by all Who with to succeed as preachers, end ss, Leiauac the proper reading of the Scriptures is the most con densed and intelligent commentary upon their meaning. The inference will, therefore, be, that ho who oumot read them does net uadessUnd them. In Garrick’s day, many clergymen took lessons in reading from that celebrated actor. Whitefield, of whom Hume once said it was worth while to walk twenty miles to hear him, was one of that number. They appreciated the importance of this attainment, and they acted wisely in seeking the best means to acquire it. Let othors patronize tlie Garricks of onr day for a similar purpose, We fcol that no apology is needed for urging this sub ject upon the church. John Wesley thought it of sufficient interest to publish a tract, entitled "Di rections concerning Pronunciation and Gesture;” and of Luiiier’a nine requisites for a good preacher, the third and fourth designated are eloquence and a good voice.

The Lcuisvlllc Ja?< r~rt(xl of* gjjjj ; We take great pleasure in laying before our readers the fallowing letter from Gen. Negley, of the Pennsylvania Brigade, to Gen. Lovell H. Rous* senu. It spenks tho language of patriotic devotion to our country, of profound admiration for our State, and sympathy with her imperilled condition, and a generous appreciation of our distinguished and chivalrous fellow-citizen. When he shall have received from Pennsylvania} as the representative of Kentucky, the stand of,regimental colors which it is the intention of Gen. Negley’s Brigade to pre sent, the noble sons of the Keystone State may be assured that their gift will never bo dishonored} hut that it will always bo found flying in the van and the thickest of the fight whenever it is upreared in the defence of our country, from foreign foes or do mestic traitors: HEADQUARTERS NeGLEY’s BRIGADE. ) Camp Nevin, Nov. 14,18G1. * { General Lovell JT. Rozisseau: Dear Sin: Allow me the honor to inform you that it is the intention of my brigade to present through you to your brave command a stand of re fimeßtal colors. It is also desired that George D. rentiee, Ksq., should present them. You will please intimate the time most convenient for the ceremonies. I assure you this gift is not intended as an idle compliment, but is expressive of tho sympathy and national interest Pegggyjyftaia feels for her Kister State. She has witnessed with pain ful solicitude the cloud which has hung over your land like tho mist over Niagara, hiding from the thoughtless and unwary an abyss of destruction. She has seen Kentucky, the cradle of science anft the birth-place of heroes and statesmen, arrested in her flight of ambition, the hands of progress turned hack on the dial plate of time, all tho grand con ceptions. of a rich and happy people blighted by the schemes of Judas patriots and heartless her wisest citizens bugging the phantom of peace until limy were bound like slaves, and compelled at tho point of the bayonet to swallow the deadliest draughts which could bo distilled from the Upas of rebellion. She has wondered whether the sons of Kentucky had degenerated from the spirit of their forefathers, and had lost the sensibility of honor and chastity of feeling which nourish manly senti ment. Many prayers nave been offered for the suc cess of those whose devotion to their country shows them worthy of being free, who consider no sacrifice too great wnen liberty is the reward. It is with such emotions Pennsylvania sends you aid, and offers her sons a willing sacrifice for your defence. Those who have come have left tearful eyes and aehiDg hearts behind. No long service has turned their hearts into dissolute camp has changed their manly feelings. Their va lor springs not from reckless habits or indifference to life, but from the stern resolve that Kentucky shall be free. Thoy 6&rs hot that the enemy have frowning tiers of stolen artillery, steep rocks and everlasting hills for their castles, tangled woods for their palisades, deep rivers, and nature’s wildest forms for their ally; they will conquer or perish iu the Attempt. The flag which we tender to you is surrounded with hallowed memories, its blazoned folds shall be a rainbow of hope and promise to the oppressed, and a soldier’s pledge that we will stand by you in preserving the Union unsevered. Re member that our national greatness, 9ur social and political happiness, are enshrined in its silken folds and bright stars. The pleasure of prosperity has been ours—’tis ours to have adversity. Let us meet it like men who know their duty, and who prize their constitutional freedom. If we fail, we will foil in the gana* tiuiuktf, And on (1... same fields where many of the heroes of the Revolution perished in defence of tho same rights. In conclusion, dear General, permit us to express our admiration of your personal valor, generous li6itof, and inflexible perseverance in the path of duty. I have the honor to remain your friend and very obedient servant, Jahes S. Negusv. Affairs in Paduwh, The Paducah correspondence of the Louisville Journal, writing from that city, under date No vember 15, says: This hitherto Secession city, now under the be nign influence of about 10,0fi0 well-behaved and orderly Federal seldiers, is rapidly assuming a de cent respect for law and order. A large majority of the citizens now here are loyal to the United States, and tbe Seceshers begin to recognize the fact that we have a Government. Many of the most rabid are returning to their homes, after a search of about two months in the Southern Confederacy for their rights. They have concluded to come home, where thoy have every reason to believe their rights have and will be rospeeted. It is a pitiable eight to look upon men, women, and chil dren who have been out in this unfortunate eruise in search of their rights. They now see themselves penniless and diseased. The men, lashed almost to fury by tbe consciousness of their own evil doings, and their wresgs te their GeVeffimtSt, that has never deprived them of one single right, are now coming back to the house of their fathers, where all such can find an asylum, and determined to live in the old Government’s honse, whioh is the freest, happiest, end best oh earth. Recall of the Troops from London. The Louisville correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial 7 writing under date of November IS, says i ThoTocall of the troops from London, and their occupation of Danville, was done upon an order from General Sherman which had grown old in the hands of General Thomas. Itwasapartof General Sherman 1 ! plan to plaes General Thoms.? at the last-named point, as soon as the expulsion of General Zolhcoffer could be effected. As I have said cn more than one occasion, there lias never existed any plan or purpose to follow Zollicojfer into East Tennessee, I speak knowingly when I assert this. The plans of General Sherman could not be carried out until Zollicoffer was effectually checked or expelled from the State, and the order to General Thomas to occupy Danville was on the condition indicated. Dither contingency had to bo accomplished before this retrograde movement* could be made. It is natural that the East Tennes seans, who are of course uninformed of tho plans of the campaign, should grow discontented and rebel lious, hut it is strange that they will not recognize the impossibility of accomplishing a successful cam* puign in Eastern Tennessee during the winter so rapidly approaching. They will yet get weary of quarters in idleness at Camp Dick Robinson, and rally to take a hand in the fight for their freedom and home!. The occupation of Danville has not necessitated the recall of the troops at Somersot and Monticello. I am informed that the regiments advanced to thoso points still remain there watching the rebel Staun ton, or have gone forward in search of him. The establishment of a post at Danville will therefore be but the advancing of the left wing of the main army of General McCook. Examine the line of the Union army in Kentucky, and notice the main body is enoamped at Bacon oreek waiting tho results of movements on the left wing, and anxious to move forward. The right wing has its extreme at Morgantown, in Butler county, and is in force at VVoodberry. Imme diately on the left of McCook is General Ward’s brigade, the advance of which is at Griereburg. The left wing under General Thomas, haring the incumbrance, Zollicoffer, has assumed its position at Danville, with its extreme as far south as Monti ceiio. Thus a complete line of outposts is estab lished, each post occupied by an army of itself. How that Zollicoffer no longer threatens the left wing, observe what efforts are making to reinforce, and strengthen and advance the lines. The 15,000 men who have entered in the past fortnight have been divided between McCook and Ward. The Nineteenth and Twenty-fourth Illi nois, at Elizabethtown, the Tenth Indiana, at Bardstown,.as well as others too numerous (as well as impolitic) to mention, are under marching orders for a<3 [vsmeed poets. All the movements or troops now, in this vicinity, are indicative of important movements and momentous results, and it is not un likely that a battle may be precipitated upon us ere a fortnight. INTERESTING SOUTHERN NEWS. Late Southern newspapers have boon received in the Western cities. They contain the following items: An Interesting Letter from Richmond. The Memphis Appeal contains the following let tor from iu Richmond coircipokJeht; Richmond, Nov. 11, 1861.—The destruction of the bridges on tho lino of the railway between this city and Memphis, will probably still further per plex and delay the mail communications each way, already sufficiently slow and embarrassed, and the letters of “ Dixie 1 ’ may, for some time to come, lose their interest with their freshness, in conse quence. The news of the destruction of the bridges created a greater excitement in lticlimoud even than the glorious tidings of the victory at Belmont, At this moment we are without any definito intelli gence of the full extent of the disaster, whether one, two, or throe bridges have been burned, and what amount of damage has been done to tbe track; but tho presence of any body of traitors in Tennes see, sufficiently strong to work out their malice in a manner so mischievous, is a fact by no means agree ablo to consider. The promptest measures have been taken by the Government to repair the injury, and re-establish the line of communication, and, wo may hope, that in two or throe weeks at farthest ibis will be done. A full regiment, with u largo body of laborers, carrying all the necessary imple ments for the reconstruction, left town this morning for the scene of the ruin beyond Bristol, which they will reach at an early hour to-morrow. We have ho intelligence beyond what was known - Beaufort. It was night on Saturday, and tbis, taken in connection with the significant ciroumitance that not one of the higher officers of the Administration, President, nor members of the Cabinet, nor Adjutant Gene ra!, was visible yesterday at church or elsewhere, led everybody to suppose that momentous news had been received. The Cabinet, I hear, was actually in sossinn all day at the President's house, wKcre they dined en familh, deliberating upon tbe latest advices, but the nature of these has eot yet trans pired. I am gratified to say to you that two of the ills under which tbis community has been suffering fur months past, and of which I said something in a former letter—ills every day increasing in magni tude—have just boon taken in hand by the 7’/v 7,7.7- dicuinx of tbe law. and with such vigor of prac tice as to giye promise of an ultimate cure at tbe hands of that stern and ablo physician. Nothing short of the cautery could seem adequate to get us rid of the shinplnstcrs and gamblers, but tbe cau t?ry lfi§ b?9D applied. Xbe grand jury nf tho Hustings Court last week, presented all and singu lar, the corporations, (including the city of Rich mond.) savings banks, small grocers, newspaper dealers, and other financial empirics who have issued small notes, and the good yf this is be ginning already to be felt. The banks now refuse to take them on deposit. The fresh igsuc of them has ceased. The quasi-respectable institutions which have been engaged in the wretched business are calling iki their bills, and the 4iTty TOg£, hereto * fore supposed to represent dimes and half-dimes, arc now refused by all decent people. The Hust ings court has only to act fearlessly and efficiently with the wrong-doers to make amend for the matter and restore us a healthy currency. Oft SAliirday night, about 11 o'clock, the police made a simultaneous descent upon tho two most elegant and aristocratic hells in the 2 city, (Wor sham’s, near the Kxchangc Hotel, and Monterio’s, contiguous to the Spottswood House,) and somewhat smashed up and sonttepod tho infernal g&de. Sup per, SUinptflOUS find savory, was going on, or rather going oft', up stairs; polite, well-dressod dealer seated behind the table, slipping the awful cards deftly through the silver box; multitudinous bet tersy'soldicrs’, civilians and otherwise seated around and bending over the oil-cloth, with its accs and knaves, and tall piles of many-colored ivory; ser vants, sleek, soft-footed negroes, sliding about the room over the rich carpet; with brandy and water and cigars, when enter constables and companions, whereupon general confusion and dismay, cursing and swearing, and a rapid leaping out at the front door of visitors, military and civic, overflowing Main str«t fisfl Franklin street, as the case might be. .Almost instantaneously with these marvellous proceedings, the gas went out in every hell in this city, for the alarm had gone forth, and all the ap paratus of faro was speedily removed from apart ments where the game had g 6&& on undisturbed since tbe day of Secession. But for this, a thorough overhauling and clearing out of these establish ments might have been effected. As you may imagine, the rage of the gamblers to-day is exces give; but if it bo truoi as rumored; that tho police, in this matter, have acted in accordance with the wishes of tho President, and it is his fixed deter mination to put a stop to gambling in the city, ab all hazards, they might as well at once subside, and bid Richmond farewell Tbe long-delayed battle on the Potomac is be lieved now to be imminent. It is whispered out of doors that our generals at Centrevilie have been given carte blanche to carry on the campaign. So look out. The angels of life and death were hovering over the inhabitants of those high in office last night. The Presidential mansion was gladdened by another little occupftnt yesterday, ana, this morning, the Governor’s house held a beautiful corpse; at half past ten, a sweet infant daughter or Governor Letcher, four years old, pa-sed away to Heaven. The Battle of Belmont. GEN. POLK’S DESPATCH TO PRESIDENT DAVIS—THE president’s REPLY. Headquarters First Pit., Western I)ei*art’t, Columbus, Ky., Nov. 7,1801. To General Headquarters , through General A■ S. Jvhmton: The enemy came down on the opposite side of the fivoif, Belmont, to-day, about ?,o6s strong, landed under cover of gunboats; and attacked Col. Tap pan’s camp. I sent over three regiments, under Gen. Pillow, to hiß relief, then at intervals three others, then Gen. Cheatham. I then took over two others in person to support & flank movement which I had directed. It was a hard-fought battle, lasting from 10.30 A. M. to 5 P. M. They took Beltzhoover’s battery, four pieces of which iye ropsptiircd. Ihc enemy were thoroughly routed, we pursued them to their boats, seven miles, then drove their boats before us. The road was strewn with their dead and wounded, guns, ammunition, and equipments. Our loss con siderable ; theirs heavy. L. Por.x, Mojor General Commanding. Richmond, Nov. 8,1861. To Major General Poll-: Your telegraph re ceived. Aeeept for yourself and officers and men under your eottuaaud my sineero thanks for the glorious contribution you have just made to our common cause. Onr countrymen must long remem ber gratefully to read the activity and skill, courage and devotion of the army at Belmont. im? PAVIS. The Activity of the Rebels near Colum bus—A Panic in Missouri. From parties who left Columbus on Wednesday, and who are in a position to know fully what they state, \vc learn that Gen. Folk is still suffering from the injury he received on the occasion of tho bursting of the cannon thoro, and Gen. Pillow was in com mand. A foroe was at work cutting down the tim ber on the Missouri side, opposite Columbus, so as to leave no ambush for the enemy In any event. The people on the Missouri side are in utter con sternation, and are flying from their houses. While the Kentucky was up tne river on Wednesday, her captain kindlyferried over five families tojhis side, with iheir teams and household articles. Fugitives say there is a large amount of corn and hogs in the country, all of which they expect to fall into the hands of the enemy. It has been forcibly kept there by the blockade. The people were destroying or removing all fiat*, landing boats, and ferry beats that were along tbe shore. The ferry boat that orossed near Point Pleasant has been destroyed. A soldier who had been taken prisoner, but who escaped from Cairo, reported that soldiers were coming into that place in great numbers, and that the day before he left (Wednesday) bine regiments arrived. There was a general expectation at Columbus that there will soon be an invasion of a more serious character than tho late one at Belmont. —Memphis Appeal. The East Tennessee Insurrection, The Memphis Appeal oflast Saturday says Ws Apprehend nothing serious from the recent outbreak in Bast Tennessee, but regard it, on the contrary, at least in point of time, as one of the most fortunato incidents of the crisis. It was evidently one act in a carefully arranged programme of tho enemy, all of whose parts were to have been exe cuted simultaneously, but which has eventuated in a miserable abortion. We 1 have long been aware that there was a deeply disaffected element in this section of the State, and have repeatedly pressed upon our authorities—State and Federal—the ne cessity of exercising a proper espionage over their movements. A traitorous combination, headed by Brownlotr, Ifeffhit, and other leffsef &5 ,lts i iR league with the exiles Johnson and Maynard, ard known to have been in constant comfilUtiioation with the enemy, and cognizant of his project to at tempt the invasion of Tennessee through Cumber land Gap or some other inlet through that range of ttidUfttams. It was a stroke of policy merely that induced the abandonment of tho Greenville Convention, and the ostensible acknowledgment of the Con federate Government by the arch conspirators who were encouraging this scheme. In fact, it was a most dangerous part of their conspiracy, inasmuoh as it disarmed our authorities, and tho adherents of our cause in that section of all vigilance. They thought that the refractory spirit of rebellion that at first showed its head had been permanently quelled, and looked for no further manifestation of it. This insurrection, however, while comparatively harmless from its being premature, gives evidence of a deep-laid plot among a few of the most reck less traitors of that region to resist tho sovereign voice of the pcoplo of the State by force of arms, so soon ns they have hope of assistance from tho Lincoln despotism. It is fortunate that it has oc curred at the present time, when we aro fully able to put »lasting quietus upon It, from which no ap pliances of future Federal aid will ever be able to resuscitate it. We now have an open foe to conquer, who is rendered impotent by the very disclosure of his hostility—nnd not less so by his isolation. The Burned Bridges. From a letter in the Southern Confederacy , dated the 11th, at Ringgold, Georgia, we learn that tho two bridges burned on tho Western and Atlnnta Bnilrvadi nerese the Cbieknmauga, are about eight miles from Chattanooga, and about half a mile apart. Tho East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad crosses the stream between them, nnd about one hundred and fifty yards below the upper one Col. John D, Gray, who built then), estimates their cost at above *lB,OOO. Major Rowland, the superintendent, was at the place of the disaster with a large foreeqn ; the 10th, and will have good, 'gubstantial, trestjeijwldges made, and the trains running regulariy,’ in about two weeks. He has a number of the very beat railroad mechanics in tho country actively engaged, together with a largo force of laborers. Arrangements axe made with the East Tennessee ancl Georgia Railroad to carry the freight, mail, and passengers by the way of CUre, dud to diulijuiooga, dti4 In two or throo 'days the passenger trainßwl(}'iun regularly on the State roau. The New Orleans Delta' sayl t The news of the °S Railroad bridges TWO CENTS. put a damper on the up freight going East by the way of Memphis. Enst Tennessee and Georgia Railroad. We are requested to Say that troops, passengers, and army supplies, intended for East Tennessee, as far east as this point, will meet with no delay in consequence of the burning of the Hiawassee bridge on the East Tennesse and Georgia Railroad. — hvorvitlr, KrgiatfJi lit tin Arrival of Federal Prisoners at Memphis, Tennessee. The Memphis Appeal of the 15th says: There were ninety-nine prisoners brought to this city yesterday. Being a portion of tne trophies captured by the gallantry of our treops at Bel mont, the nearness of the battle which had wit nessed their unavailing bravery threw around them a degree of interest which caused the gathering of an immense crowd on the levee. The streets lead ing from the landing to the corner of Second and Jackson streets were crowded by men, women, and children, eager to get a glance at them. A few fools and one or two mischievous urchins shouted out a few cant phrases, but the general fealißg was, we ore happy to state, one of respect ful forbearance, and many remembered that if we brought these men prisoners to Memphis, their comrades , had brought some' of our brave boys prisoners to Cairo. It is but the fate of war, and he who wonld rather be taken fighting than fly, deserves the respect of even the foe who may have chanced to havo captured him. Those soldiers looked like men. It was easy to perceive that more than half of them were Germans. Their de- Bieanor was quiet and gsntlemxnly, We trust that during their stay here they will meet with that re spectful treatment which a brave people should . Bver display to ,<Uk , unfortunate foe. . They are now in the large building known as Meeeby ’a cotton shed, near the corner of Second and Jackson streets, under guard. Extortioners and the Remedy. The Vicksburg Sun says We have been much flattered by the encomiums of many of our oldest citizens who havo called upon us, aud who have most cordially approved our leader of yesterday. We propose to state one or two new facts that havo recently come to our knowledge, and to propose what we conceive to be a remedy against thf Liß«9lßlt9 extortioners of Vicksburg. Wc arc informed that large quantities of flour are [stored in this city, and that the holders say they will not sell until they can get $2O per barrel. Comment on theso fellows’ principles is unneeossary. Desperate measures require desperate remedies, and we hope that the flour will be taken. The men paid a fair market valuation for it, and receive a strong bint to ‘ : leave the country for their country’s good;” other extortioners whose names are fur nished us, and which we shall probably publish for Ihe scorn and execration of the community, have held the staple articles of provisions until they have risen several hundred per cent., and now the “ patriots” are fattening upon what they stole from the families of the soldier. Their names always appear conspicuously in the list of donations, but they “give an inch and take an ell.” One of the two things must ha done, and that done immediately. Either the extortions must be put an end to by legislative enactment, or the people must rise and put an end to the extor tioners. The Oxford (Miss.) Intelligencer says: It is highly probable that the Legislature will in a few days pass a law touching the - heartless speculators in salt throughout our State. We would like to see the State seal put upon the door of every salt specu lator in the land, and an agent put at each door to sell the article at a fair price, Dealers here are demanding 813.50 par aa«U. Union Movements m East Tennessee. The Memphis Avalanche issues an extra con taining the following intelligence, received by tele graph from Nashville; A most reliable gentleman from Enst Tennessee arrived here this morning, and reports that Chieka mogo-ereek, the Charleston, Dick creek, and the Upper Ilolston bridges were burned at precisely 1 o'clock on Friday night.

Eight thousand Eederals are reported at Red Springs, Macon county, where they hare burned (he lowa. The Reported Resignation of Beauregard. The Richmond correspondence of a Memphis paper says: The rumored resignation of Beauregard was in cepted as a fact throughout the city, and the an. tlit ran so far as to say that it was the wish of the Presi dent he shonld withdraw from his command in con sequence of his having recited, in his official report of the battle of Manassas, a plan he had drawn up for the relief of Mnryland and the occupation of Washington city, which was rejected by the Presi dent before the battle. I have no means of knowing .whether or not our Chief Magistrate was seriously displeased at this introduction into the report of matters not properly belonging thereto, but I do know that the gallant little hero, the beau sabreur tt lean soldat— Beauregard—has no idea} of resign ing ; at least I have this upon very good authority, and that he remarked to ft gOßtleman who men tioned the subject to him at CentrcvUle that he had entered the Confederate service for the war, and expected to remain in it till the final consummation of our independence, unless removed by the hand of death. The following is Gen. Beauregard’s letter to the Richmond Whig, which was briefly noticed in our telegraphic columns a few days ago: Centbeville, within Heading or the 1 EiiEMv’s Gi'ss, Nov. S. { To Editors Elchmond "Whig : Gentlemen : My attention has just been called to an unfortunate controversy now going on rela tive to the publication of a synopsis of my report of the battle of Manassas. Bone can regret more than I do this, from a knowledge that, by authori ty, the President is the sole judge of when and what part of the commanding officer's report shall he made public. I, individually, do not object to delaying lts publication as long as the War Department thinks proper and neces sary for the success of our cause. Meanwhile I entreat my friends not to trouble themselves about refuting the slanders and calumnies aimed against me, Alcibindra, on a certain ooo&sion, re sorted to an extraordinary method to occupy tfie minds of his traducers—let, then, that synopsis an swer the same purpose for me in this instance. If certain minds cannot understand the difference be tween patriotism, the highest civic virtue, and oflmo-sdekoru, the lowest civic occupation, I pity them from the bottom of my heart. Suffice it to say, that I prefer the respect and esteem of my countrymen to the admiration and cnvyoftheworld. I hope, for the sake of our ea\)§? ggd country, to be able, with the assistance of kind Providence to an swer my calumniators with new victories over our national enemies, but I have nothing to ask of the country,Government, or any friends, except to afford mo fill tho aid thoy .can in the great struggle we are now engaged upon. lain not either a candidate, nor do I desire.to be a oandidate, for any oivil office in the gift of the people or Executive. The aim of my ambition, after having cast my mite in the defence of onr sacred eaqs?, gnd assisted to the best of my ability in securing eur rights and independence as a nation, is to retire to private life,-my means then permitting, never again to leave my home, unless to fight anew the battles of my country. Respectfully, your most obedient servant, G. T. Beauregard. Miscellaneous Items. We find the following telegraphic despatches in the Appeal, of the 14th : Augusta, November 12.—Tj)?

MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS; lion. Edward Everett on the'Arrest of M&S6fi anil Slideii, Mr. Everett delivered hia address on the- “ State of the Country,” before the Middlesex Mecha nics’ Association, at Lowell, on Tuesday even ing. According to tho Journal and Courier »f -that city— Mr. Everett began by remarking that he had been . requested to say a word or two upon an event that reached ns within a day or two—the capture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell. Some have apprehand ed that this,act, however desirable in g?me reeptote, may yet be oonsidered by tiie British Government as unauthorised by the law of nations,, and, there fore, likely to bring us into unpleasant relations with that rower. This apprehension is. entirely Crowidless. There is no right defter qgitfiMt y the law of nations than that of the armpd vessel of a belligerent Power to detain m neutral vessel on the high seaa, t» ascertain whetber on board of *•: anytbipg contra band of Wfcr. is expressly lam- down by ali tho text writers on the law of ballons, that among the things which are forbidden to bo carried by a neutral vessel are ambassadors of. either belligerent Power. There have been many cases in which this principle has been laid down and enforced in the English Courts of Adnlil'Ulty. I& the year ISOS-, an American vessel, called the Coroltare, on her way from: New York to Bordeaux, in France, was captured by a British cruiser, carried into England, tried' and condemned before Sir William Scott, after tvard Lord Slorrell, the highest authority on any question of the law of nations that can be found in Great Britain—condemned because it carried de spatches from the Government of one of the French celeste?' In giving his opinion on tho oondamna tion of this vessel, Sir William Scott expressly said that the belligerent cruiser was- authorised in stopping the embassador of the enemy on the way to his destination. You are, many of you, familiar with the cage of Mr, Henry Laurens, who was at one time President of the Continental Congress, in the Revolutionary war, who was on his way from Martinique to Holland, on board of a Dutch vessel, at that time a neutral Power. This vessel waa captured by a British frigate, enryietj gfc, John, Newfoundland; ho was transferred to an other ve&sel and sent to England, and there con fined in the Tower of London, as a traitor, for two years, and it was only after the surrender of Corn wallis, at Yorktown, he was given up, in exchange for the commander-in-ehtef of the British forces. You see that there is not the slightest ground for apprehension that there is any illegality in this de tention of the mail packet; that the detention waa perfectly lawful, the capture was perfectly lawful, their confinement in Port Warren will be perfectly lawful, [cheers.] and, as they will no doubt be kept there in safety until the restoration of peace— which we all so much desire—we may, I am sure, cordialiv wish them a safe and speedy deliverance. LChesrs,] Eurmug of a Rebel’s House. A despatch from Gallipelis to Governor Pierpont, on Saturday, stated that there was a report there that the Union men had 9?S9fflliled in large num bers, and set fire to the splendid property of Albert Gallatin Jenkins, who led the recent attaok on Guyandottc. The property was situated in Cabell county, about twelve miles from Guyandotte, on the Ohio rivoF. Jenkins was a Congressman from Western Virginia, and after the breaking out of the rebellion protested against the action of the Postmaster General in removing a number of dis affected postmasters in Western Virginia, for which he received a cutting robuko from Mr. Holt. Ha is said to be immensely wealthy. Pontoon Bridge-building. The Washington correspondent of tho New York Trillium says: The Fifteenth NiW York Regiment this afternoon made tbeir first attempt at pontoon bridge-building, on the eastern branch of the Potomac, near theur camp. In thirty-three minutes they inflated the India-rubber pontoons, and laid a bridge 188 feet long, over whioh fifty men marched at common and double-quick time, and on the run, and two horses crossed without trouble. The regiment has the pontoon train which has been at West Point for some time, and is well supplied with engineering 88(1 implements, They bnve also fascines and other materials for fortifications. Two-fifths of ths men are skilled mechanics, and the camp gives evidence of their manual skill. Although they have been but two weeks in their present location, they have constructed a brisk range and OTOB for each company, and made many other improve ments. In their four months of service not one mnn has died of disease, and there is now hut one in the hospital. Mnjor General llaHeek, The Commanding General of this Department, is. still at (he Planters’ House. With the exception of Gen. S. Hamilton, no appointments have been made upon his staff. We understand that the Major General proposes to establish his headquarters in the building corner of Fourth and Washington ave nue, formerly the headquarters of General McKin- Etry.— St. Louis Republican. An Intended Rebel Demonstration at the ' Grand Review. The New York Herald's Washington corne spondent writes thus: A rebel deserter, who came into our lines to-day, *tnt§s that tbs rebels bad been apprised of the re view which came off yesterday, and that it wag their intention to have made a formidable demon stration against our pickets, with a view of driving them in, and thereby produce a regnlar panic and stampede among tho civil urns, who were te. witness the grand affair. He states that a pretty large rebel force had been concentrated at Fairfax for the purpose, but that for some cause or other it had been abandoned- He says that the officer in com iimml at Fairfax had board that seven divisions were to be reviewed by General McClellan. The rebels, he says, are daily expecting an advance movement of the Union forces, and that they are fully prepared to meet them. He does not believe, however, that the rebels will make a regular stand Afid give battle this side of Manassas. They have, it appears, some pretty good fortifications at Cen treville. The capture and occupation of Port Royal and Benufort by the Union fleet caused great ex citement among the South Carolina and Georgia troops. The Mason and Slidell Question. Washington, Nov. 22. —Much speculation eon* tinues to be indulged in relative to the Mason and Slidell question. So far as oan be ascertained!, Iks minister of her Britannic Majesty's Government has taken no action whatever upon the subject, but will probably await instructions. Nor has them been even an informal conversation between him and the proper department concerning it. Those who are intimately acquainted with Lord Lyons believe that in this, as in other matters, he has ob -s?r?td bis usual dilation in refraining from pre mature expressions of opinion. Gen. Meigs. While some gentlemen of distinction are desirous that General Meigs shall take tbs field, it is known that the Government, appreciating hla eminent qua lifications for the discharge of the extensive and very important labors devolved upon him, is not inclined to transfer him from tho Quartermaster General’s Department to the performance of other public duties. THE WAR IN WESTERN VIRGINIA. Floyd’s Retreat from the Kanawha. The Cincinnati Times of Wednesday says: We published on Saturday a telegraphic des patch concerning Floyd’s second retreat from Western Virginia. By the arrival of the Alien Collier we hare some details of the retreat, by which, it seems, that this last run of the old Vir ginia traitor was the most disgraceful retreat of the campaign. His forces arc estimated at from ten to twelve thousand. Our troops were just ready to attaek him in front nnd rear, when, as at Carnifex, he gathered up in the darkness of the night and started on a hurried retreat. General Benbam’s brigade was then in his rear, Floyd having about eight hours’ start Benham started in pursuit, leaving behind everything that Would prevent the speed of ills troops. IBs bri gade did some tali walking, the men preferring to do without rations if they COtlld get n fight. Floyd anticipated this pursuit, and at once or dered tho destruction of everything that would re tard progress. The most of nls wagons and touts were burned. The road was strewn with broken camp-kettles, and tin-pans, cups, &c., which had been perforated with bayonets and then thrown away. Even some of his cannon were dis mounted and hft by the road side, His troops threw away knapsacks, guns, and other articles which encumbered them. Even bowie-knives, swords, and pistols were found in abundance on the road side. The people along tho road stated that the whole column secmccl to be intoxicated, and were march ing in a confused mass, frequently wnntonly de stroying privato property as they passed along. After marching about twenty-five miles, Genoral Benham came upon Floyd’s rear guard, in the vi cinity of Raleigh Aourt ‘House. It consisted of a body of cavalry, in command of Colonel Croghan, who was formerly of the Federal army. Our advanced skirmishers pitched at them promptly. The cavalry made a brief stand, and then took to their keels. One of our skirmishers, a clerk in the commissary’s department, emptied the saddle of Colonel Crogban’s horso. Eight of the rebels were killed ana others woundod. No aid was sent to the cavalry ; in fact, the attack on them tlUitd the mam body to shove akoad more rapidly. Want of provisions compelled Gen. Benham to giv. up the pursuit, after this skirmish. After the troops were rested, the brigade marched back to Gauley. Oel. Oregban was found by our men mortally wounded The best care was taken of him, but he died in about four hours after he was found. It is said he expressed regret that he had taken up arms against the Government, and died repentant. His body was brought bock to Gauley, where it await! the call of his friends. Some think that if Gen. Rosecrans had been more speedy in his movements, he might have bagged Floyd. He had, however, to contend against high wntarg and a want of foraging faoili. ties. Floyd accomplished nothing by nis mareh into Western Virginia, except to completely demo ralize his brigade. From Fortress Monroe.
