The American Photograph Album.
This is the legitimate title of the Albums for
cartes de visite and larger photographic portraits,
manufactured by Samuel Bowles and Company,
Springfield, Massachusetts, printers, publishers,
and bookbinders, and proprietors of the best daily,
txi-we®kiy, and weekly paper in New England
(outside Boston), viz: The SpnngfieM Repub
lican, We have put it il outside Boston,” but,
inasmuch as the Republican circulates 25,000 a
day, It may bo entitled to a yet higher place. Of
that paper, let us add, Dr. Holland, whose notn de
plume is u Timothy Titcomb,” is one of the editors,
and proud of him the fraternity are, and have full
cause to be.
Their Photographic AlbutoiS CCbim&hd ftttd dc
serve a great sale, not only in New England, but
in the West, all through British North America,
and, in this country, as far south as Lexington,
Kentucky, and largely* in New York-
nection in this city is just commencing. Mr. J. F.
Tapley, one of their firm, has invented and patent
ed a labor-saving machine, by which the elegance,
cheapness, and enduranceof the Albums is secured.
Wo have examined, most critically those Albums,
and the result is that when we heard of their great
sale, over fifty hands a day being omployed on
them, (and this, with Tapley’a labor-saving ma
chinery, is equal to seventy-five hands), our ver
dict, like that of the Welsh jury on the shrew
killed by her husband, was 44 sarved 'em right.”
No ono need wonder at their Jars? s»!o.
One novelty, which no other makers can appro
priate, is their Auto-Photographic Aulburn. By a
simple arrangement, the autograph signature of
every one whose portrait is placed in the Album
may ba inserted under the carte de visitc, and is
removable at will, with tho portrait. This is
really good—as Horace says “ Simplex muaditiis.”
Charles Desilver, 1229 Chestnut street, may
fairly claim the merit of publishing the most accu
rate, the clearest, and the cheapest American maps
of tho present day, corrected to the latdSt mo
ment. Hone are so thoroughly reliable, none so
portable. Among his latest issues are the United
States, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mis
souri, by means of which the advance of our vioto*
rious armies can be accurately traced and recorded,
dtiy after day. as fresh news arrives.
Academy of the Pine Arts,
Next Monday, the annual exhibition of this long
established and excellent institution will be opened.
This evening, the private view will take place.
Let us slightly antioipato. and give, not a critioism
but a notice in advance —sufficient to let the visi
tors to tho Academy this evening know what they
may expect.
The painters of this city aro not <,uite in such
full force, numerically, as usual. There has been,
however, an advent of artists from New York.
Moreover, Mr. Harrison Earl's collection, over
which alone a day might be pleasantly spent, has
been considerably increased ; particularly by the
addition of new works by Weber, Van Starken
borgh, and Moran. The Gerome picture, “Arab
Recruits” baa greatly improved, and is one of tue
finest paintiDgs in the Academy. The room, in its
entirety, is a gem of which the Academy may well
he proud.
new style.
Mr. Sully, -by virtu© op years and latent, Is en
titled to lead off in onr bird’s-eye-view. Hl3 best
portrait, as usual, is feminine; representing Mrs.
Fitzgerald and young daughter a charming
subject gracefully treated. Mr. RothermeFs iurgo
picture, “The Doctors in the Temple,” will com
mand admiration, and he has a very good portrait,
whether execution er likeness be crasidereil, of a
literary gentleman of this city. Among the por
traits will be noticed that of the late Mr. H. D.
Gilpin, President of the Academy, by Mr. Whitt
rldgo, sad J. 8.. Lambdin's portrait of the lit*
Bishop Bowman. Mr. Waugh’s pictures have
great merit, as even an uncritical eye can discover
when it considers “ The Bathers,” painted for
General Nsgloe, and 11 The Discovery of Family
Belies,” for Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Hamilton, our groat marine painter, upon
whose shoulders one might sometimes think tho man
tle of Turner has fallen, has several pictures and
sketches. Among these, 11 What are the wild
waves saying ?” is a picture at once full of fancy
and truth —a poem on canvas. The other, “ New
York Bay,” is, to our taste, the best view of that
fine estuary ever painted, charmingly tinged, as it
is, with high imagination poetizingjthe Actual.
Edmund D. Lewie, whose advance in art has been
unusually rapid] baa two large pictures—one, a
view looking down from the top of the Caatskill
mountains, “The Mountain Home,” showing the
deep valley, with the clouds and floating mist be
tween, and the other a view of Stockbriilge, Massa
chusetts
In importance of subject and size, perhaps the pic
ture of the year is “ Moravian Prcaohers Address
ing the Indians ”-~a fire and momlit picture; a
noble study of Indian character. The artist is C.
Schiissele, and is very fine indeed: the best he has
yet executed, it will probably be thought.
E Moran's “Valley of the Sea,” the property
of Dr. Somerville, fully sustains his reputation,
which will be extended by his large and best pic
ture, a “Coast Scene.” T. Moran is also here,
effective as usual.
Prom Newbold Trotter there are Several pic
tures, the best being “The Stranger in the Herd.”
Russell Smith, with his son and daughter, have
several cabinet pictures. Xanthus Smith (the
son) has an excellent “ Camp Meigs,” and May
Smith (the daughter) has some comic subjects—
pleasant little pictures indeed.
Guido Reach, a iiame new to Philadelphia, hae a
good picture here—“ Spanish Dancers before the
Priests” —showing the origin of the Fandango.
Here, also, is YVittkamp’s last work —“ The Black
smith of Arden “—subject and treatment rausfa
different from his former works in this exhibition—
a fine picture, treated with great breadth.
AmoDgthe New Yorkers, we may draw attention
to several small and a couple of large pictures by
Alexander dYust, all being good, the marine and
“The Path through the Woods” showing the

Pittsburg Larding, April Hi, ISG2.
The principal movement of interest, since the
battle, is the burning of the railroad bridge at De
catur, Alabama, by which all communication be
tween the Eastern and Western divisions of the
Confederate army is cut off. No reinforcements
can now be conveyed to Beauregard from Virginia
oS South Carolina OSOSpt by way of Mobile—a very
long and circuitous route. Moreover, it is two to
one that Mobile is now in our hands. General
Mitchell’s division is said to be at Decatur, and
thus, you see, Memphis is Hulked- We are in
force at this point, directly east from Memphis.
The Missississippi river is clear to Fort Pillow,
which can easily be reduced by the gunboats, acting
in conjunction with our land foroos, which are re
lieved from duty at Island No. 10. General Cur
tis’ force is moving down on the western bank of
the Mississippi. The Union army appears to be
moving on New Orleans in five bodies. The
large force in the centre, flanked on either side by a
strong division, and supported by an army west of
the river which moves independently, and either
secures impwtflnt points or effects important di
versions of the enemy’s foroes. Add to this the
gunboat force, and you have the whole story. We
have now, and shall have for several weeks to come,
full and free communication with our rear and re
serves by means of the Tennessee jiver, and long
before that is too low for navigation we shall have
the whole Mississippi river. By this means we can
get our supplies, and this is an important point, for
this whole country is entirely destitute of anything
like food either for man or boast. Eaoh of these
divisions is under an able and tried commander.
Halleck commands the grand army, assisted by
Gi-ahtand Buell i Gen. Mitchell with one of the very
best divisions in the whole army on the left; our
army veterans on the right. Gen. Curtis’ army
in Missouri is supposed to be some twenty thousand
strong, and has proved itself competent to handle
any force that does not double it. The task of
keeping tke river clear is delegated to Commodore
Foote, and whom is the n ation more willing to trust ?
I presume that all over the North, the feeling must
be what it is in this army at the present time, one
of jubilant confidence in our immediate and ulti
mate success ; and the feeling of the South must be
like the desperate and savage energy that possessed
Beauregard’s army, on Sunday and Monday. All
the men horc, notwithstanding the recent severe
fight, are in excellent heart, and would move for
ward to day, if ordered, with as muck alac»ly as
they started into tho fight.
It is reported everywhere, and believed, that the
Secesh were furnished with whisky on the days of
the battle, and that is what made them fight so
fiercely. Ail tho dead and wounded men on the
field had their canteens partly full of whisky.
Many of their soldiers were new levies, mad, m
Memphis for thirty or twenty days; poor devils
who, placing a blind confidence in Mons. Toutant
and Gen. Johnston, enlisted to come out and see
the Yankees run. A large number of the New
Orleans Home Guard were here—men who had
enlisted under the express contract that they were
not to be used out of the city, but who wore forced
to Memphis at the point of the bayonet. Bitterly
did they bewail tbeir fate as they lay, mangled and
bleeding, on the ground in our hospital tents, and
found, to their surprise, that they were not bayo
neted by our men; and over and over again did
they cry out against those who bad @o de
ceived them. Manyapoorlellow said to a friend
of mine, who was wounded at Belmont, and,
having returned to his Wispapy unfit for active
duty, devoted himself to earing for the wound

In turn, hav6 dropped ftOtii theib &yes. this rebel
lion would be ended. As a specimen of the soph*
istries with which even the leading men of the
South are continually deceiving themselves, let me
tell you of a performance of that pettifoggiag Beau
regard, alias Toutant. He commenced the letter
to General Grant , asking for leave to bury his dead,
by saying: “rinding on Monday that you were
Gontimmlly receiving large reinforcements. I
thought it more prudent to fall back for the pre
sent,” &c. New, what on earth had this to do with
a simple request to be allowed to bury his dead?
How uQcoldierlj! Pid he think euch a piece of
foppery was going to have any effect on General
Grant ? It was a poor pettifogging trick, and a
true soldier or an honest man would have scorned
to resort to ifct
I suppose the annals of war de net show a battle
in which so large a proportion of oommissioned offi
cers was killed and wounded. Properly, an offi
cer's place is behind his battalion, not eiposoil to
the fire of the enemy. The reason of this is obvi
ous. An officers life is more valuable than a pri
vate’s—not only to the army, but to the privates
themselves. Many of "the severest casualties of
Sunday were owing to the loss of commanders of
brigades and regimonts. But our officers are so
brave, or rather so afraid of being considered
cowards, that they expose themselves unnecessarily.
Many of them do this to encourage the troops, and,
with volunteers, this is often necessary; but this
.thing has now been carried altogether too far, and
It is to bo hoped that officers will, in f uturo, ba more
regardful of their duty, and less mindful of their
personal reputation.
AmoDg the thousand Incidents of this battle the
following is too good to be lost : 0,1 Monday, an
Illinois regiment, which was in the advance, had
gradually approached its opposite foe, until they
were not more than fifty yards apart. The Secesh
regiment had mostly retired, but a few squads still
stood their ground. A lieutenant on our Side
thought that one of the Saeesh, whom he saw, was
his cousin, and he called his name. The man
Started and iooked around. Said tho lieutenant to
a few of his boys standing near him, “ Lot’s go and
take them prisoners.” So they went up, and ho
collared his man, called him by name, and trotted
him to our rear. When they got there by them
selves, the follow acknowledged that he was the
man he had been taken to be.
In another part of the field one of our men saw
his father in the butternut, lying wounded on the
ground, as we advanced. He went up to him, and
tire venerable, coming the lofty reproachful, said,
lu a U>n6 61 mingled dignity end pathos, i( my son,
perhaps you wounded me.” “Well, may-be I
did ; can't say for certain; but, father, you had no
business to be there.”
Aa a single instance of how completely we wore
at first overpowered by numbers on Sunday, let me
relate the experience of one brigade, composed of
the SstPßdj Seventh, Fourteenth, and Sixteenth
lowa. They were in front, on the right. They
held their position until they were outflanked by
the enemy, who came within fifty yards of their
front, and extended along thoif flanks within SO*
venty-five yards, and were closing in upon them.
All this time the colonel commanding was waiting
for an order to fall back, but none coming, he took
the responsibility of giving it, and the brigade
shouldered arms marched to the rear. The
Second and Seventh got through before the bars shut
up. The Fourteenth and Fifteenth were enclosed and
taken prisoners. The whole movement was mode in
perfect order, every man keeping his place and
marching inregular quick step, the command “Dou
ble quick” not being given until the last 20 yards.
It was just “ a rub and a go.” Ko veterans oould
have done better fighting or kept better order than
those of our troops who did the fighting of Sunday.
The Seventh lowa was the hero at Belmont, and
the Second and Seventh were two of the four regi
ments that, under the lead of “ Paducah” Smith,
won the battle at Donalson. Gen. Smith, by the
way, is lying sick with rbtugpttism gn<| dmrrhft»
at Savannah, twenty-five miles above here. He is
dangerously ill, but will not leave the vicinity of
the army, where he can never recover, since his
fCßStant anxiety of mind keeps him back. He is a
splendid soldier, and properly appreciated by both
the rank and file. Casco.
Aa Important Railroad Enterprise.
[From the M. O. Picayune.]
We direct attention to the advertisement of the
Hew Orleans and Texas Railroad Company. This
company has been chartered and endowed with
liberal franchises to cynstrwet one of the most im
portant links of railway connection in the Confede
racy, whether consideted as a social, commercial,
or military'desideratum. The enemy have cutoff
the rest of the Confederacy from the usual commu -
ideation by water with the great southwestern do
minion of Texas, at once the granary and the gra
ders’ field of the .South. Our only intercourse with
that vast and productive region is by the slow
and devious land route, over wretoned wagon
roads. This link of railroad from the terminus in
Louisiana of the New Orleans and Opelousas road
to the present eastern terminus of a road ending on
the Sabine river boundary of Texas, will give New
Orleans and the whole Confederacy direct railroad
communication for coven hundred miles mto ILo
most populous heart of Toxas. Supplies, troops,
and munitions will thus have cheap and expeditious
transportation to the points where needed. The
company advertiso to contractors and for negroes.
It has on hand all material for the construction of
the road, and ample finances.

LATE SOUTHERN NEWS.
CRITICAL SITUATION OF THE REBELS IN
TEKHTESSF.E ASD ALABAMA.
REBEL REPORTS FROM YORKTOWN.
NO GENERAL ACTION BELIEVED TO BE IM
MINENT.
A NEW SOUTHERN COIN CURRENCY PROPOSED.
From late Southern files which havo been re
ceived from our correspondents, including the
Richmond Dispatch of the 224 inst., we make im
portant extracts:
From York to wit—The Situation in Vir-
[From the Richmond Dispatch, j
We have but scanty Intelligence from the Penin
sula, but sufficient to induce tho belief that no ge
neral action is imminent in that gaartcr. We
have, from all accounts, an active and wary foe to
dwl with on the Peniosuta.
It is reported that the enemy have cut a canal
between the waters of the York and Warwick
rivers, which givex him a- water front across the
whole stretch of country , and mu«t contribute
very much to the strength of his position.
We learn that on Saturday last sharp skirmish
ing continued during the entire day on a portion of
our lines. During the night our men lay on their
arms, expecting to renew the skirmishing and
sliarpshooting in tho morning. By break of any it
was round that the enemy had been at worh all
night , and had tKrown up a line of entrench
ments and mounted guns within one thousand
yards of our position.
The indications of the intentions of tho enemy aro
very uncertain, and it is thought not improbable
that he may be drawing off some of his forces for a
demonstration in tho direction of Frodoricksburg.
It is certain that at least three columns of the
enemy might be concentrated there any day —
McDowell’s, l*eaiy J s, and Hooper’s ;if it’be true,
as reported, that the latter has crossed the river
from Lower Maryland.
The report that General Jackson has abandoned
the upper portion of the valley appears to be fully
dobiSi’iiifid. Jle is satd lo he occupying Staunton.
One report has it that Gen. Fremont is pressing
down upon him, but the most reliable accounts of
the movements of this national officer represent
him to he making his way toward Southwestern
Virginia, and that lie was lasi beard from in the
neighborhood of Raleigh C. H. Hopes had been
indulged of some important action in Virginia, from
the concentration of troops that has been going on
for some time past Tho only rational purpose of
the combination of troops is to fight; but, il 1 made
for other purposes, it is the old statu quo
after all.
Critical Situation in Tennessee and North
Alabama.
The Atlanta (Georgia) Confederacy ha? informa
tion which represent affairs in Tennessee and North
Alabama in a very critical situation. It soya:
44 We are informed, and believe the information to
be cprrect, that (he enemy's cayalry fifty? ftdVBPC§d
Eouthward from ruutsyllU j have crossed the Ten*
nessce river at the extreme southward point of that
stream in Alabama, and are now at Gunter’s Land
ing. This is within forty or fifty miles of Gadsden,
on the Coosa river; whioh distance they can travel
in one day. and cut off the passage of any more
steamboats up to Home. Nay, they might seize a
few boats, and pass up the river to Rome, and
take the city, bum down our foundries, which are
rapidly turning out camion and small arms,
and do whatever mischief they pleased. Gunter’s
Landing, by a direct route through DeKalb and
Cherokee counties, Alabama, along a fine road for
trurel, is only eighty miles from Romo. Tho
enemy’s cavalry could pass through this country
in two days, and burn down our foundries in Rome.
They could at that point and at Kingston capture
enough engines and cars to proceed up the road
with an armed force to protect them in burning the
bridges, and be exposed to none of tho difficulties
that the engine stealers met with a few days ago;
or, they could approach and burn the bridges from
lUme through the country. With these bridges
burnt, Kirby Smith ywho is understood to be ad
vtxncing ov> timitsvxlCe , would be cut off from re
inforcements or retreat. East Tennessee, and our
forces at Knoxville, Greenville, and Cjinberland
Gap, with all Western Virginia, would be exposed
in tho same manner we pointed out in commenting
oh tie consequences kail ttio engine thieves been
successful.”
The Defences of New Orleans.
[From the N. 0. Picajmiei ntlu]
'The Mississippi is fortified so as to be impassa
ble for any hostile fleet or flotilla. Forts Jackson
and St. Philip are armed with 170 heavy guns (63-
pounders, rifled by Barkley Britton, and received
from England). The navigation of the river is
stopped by a dam of about a quarter of a mile
from'the above forts. No flotilla on earth would
force that dam in less than two hours, during which
it would be within short and cross range of 170
guns of the heaviest calibre, many of which would
be served with red-hot shot, numerous furnaoes for
which have been erected in every fort and battery.
In a day or two we shall have ready two iron
cased floating batteries. The plates are four and a
half Inches thick, of the best hammered iron, re
ceived from England and France. Bach iron-cased
battery will mount twenty OS-pounders, placed bo
as to Bkim the water, and striking tho enemy’s hull
between wind and water. We have an abundant
sapply of meendlary shells, cupola furnaces for
molten iron, congreve rockets, and fire-ships.
Between New Orleans and the forts there is a
constant succession of earthworks. At the Plain of
Chalmette, near Janin’s property, there are re
doubts, armed with rilled cannon, which have been
found to be effective at'five miles’ range. A ditch
thirty feet wide and twenty deep extends from the
Mississippi to La Cypriere.
In forts St. Philip and Jackson there are 3,000
men, of whom a goodly portion are experienced
artillerymen and gunners who have served in the
navy.
At New Orleans itself we have 32,000 infantry,
and as many more quartered in the immediate
neighborhood. In discipline and drill they are far
superior to the Yankees. We have two very able
and active generals, Who possess our entire confi
dence. Generals Mansfield Lovell, and Briga
dier General Buggies. For Commodore we have
old Hollins, a Nelson in his way.
We are ready to give the Yankees a hot recep
tion when they copse. Our only fear is that the
Northern invaders may not appear. Wo have
made such extensive preparations to receive them
that it were vexatious if their invincible armada
escapes the fate we have in store for it.
A Southern Coin Currency.
A decimal system for tha currency of coins,
weights, and measures, has been placed before Con
gress by John M. Vernon, Esq., of New Orleans.
The system seems to be almost perfect in theory.
If adopted, it could be reduced to practice with
wonderful ease : for, in the slightest degree 1] dees
not interfere with the standard yard, pound, gallon,
orfacre now in uso. The old unit, to which we have
been accustomed, will remain the same on it 3 cor
responding decimal sjwbi l?9th name and quan
tity , But the table of currency is to be simplified,
and entirely changed in value and denomination.
“ We are.” says Mr. Vernon, “ a separate and dis
tinct people, influenced by different interests and
sentiments from the vandals who would subjugate
usi Our manners and customs are different—our
tastes and talents are different—our geographical
position is different—and. in conformity with natural
laws, nature, and instinct, our currency, weights,
and measures, should bo different.”
And again: 11 Tha basia of integral limit of value
proposed for our currency is the star, which is to
be divided into one hundred equal parts, each part
to be called a centime,” —namely:
10 Centimes—l Tropic.
10 Tropics—l Star.
10 Stars —1 Sol.
“These denominations for our currency,” adds
Mr. Y ernon, “have been selected for three reasons:
First, they are appropriate to ourselves as a people;
second, they are emblems of cheerfulness, honor,
honesty of purpose, solidity, and stability; and
third, the words used are simple, easily remem
bered, and are eemmen to several languages.” X
will, in addition, observe that similar characteristics
distinguish the proposed tables of weights and mea
sures.—Charleston Courier .
The Growth of Sf&huf&etures.
Mr. E. H. Chamberlain, of Edgefield District,
South Carolina, has shown the Coiistituiionftjjst
two specimens of cloth manufactured by MrS.
Cliaßnerlhin, which are a novelty in their way.
One specimen is made—the warp of cotton, the
filling of rabbit fur; the other of the same warp,
the filling of coon fur. Doth fabrics are soft and
flexible, handsome is appearance, and evidently
durable— CJiaylssHm CiwyieP.
Out Governor, seeing the degree of public su
pineness on the subject, has wisely undertaken to
use tbe means at his disposal in a public capacity,
to forward the great worts of hose manufacture,
Be has arranged with Messrs, S. K, Marks 4 Go.,
of Baton Rouge, to take charge of the peniten
tiary, and use his labor and skill in the accomplish
ment of this important end. Our readers will find,
In one of our columns to-day, their manifesto oh the
subject. They propose to accept good middling
cotton, delivered there, in exchange for osnaburgs
and sheetings, at the rate of two pounds of cotton
for one yard of the former, of seven-eighths, or two
and a half pounds of cotton for one yard of the lat
ter. This is estimating the cotton at about ten cents,
as they subsequently offer to furnish the same
articles, for sash, at twenty cents per yard for the
osnaburgs
Miscellaneous.
PRINTERS SCARCE.
A Memphis paper says the Typographical Soci
ety of Memphis has about ninety members, sixty
or whom aro in tho Confederate army. They are
numbered among the most patriotic men in the
South, for they respond nobly to any call of their
country. There aro now about thirty of them left
in the city, most of whom have families. The so
ciety has donated from their funds twenty, five dol
lars to every member who would enlist, and were it
not for their wives and little ones, the newspapers
of the city would be compelled to suspend while
hostilities lasted, for want of printers.
The Mobile Tribune's correspondent says : Tho
cotton in Giles and Murray counties, Tenn., has
been and is beiDg burnt, as the Federals a oproach.
This is done by our soldiers—Scott's Louisiana
Cavalry—but in most eases with the hearty consent
of the owners. The people here are steady in their
nerves, and nobody is running away. The car 3
only run to the State line, eighteen miles above
this place. They go and return once a day back to
Decatur. The bridges are all burnt beyond that
point by our soldiers.
Key. P. P. Smith, of Florida, in a letter to the
Qfortsttun Advocate , of Charlestpp, gjiyg
that the planters in Florida are hauling their cot
ton into the open fields, away from their houses, to
burn it, if the Yankees 9hould approach.
ASPECT OF MOBILE
The New Orleans f.ray.fKtf says T Ten thousand
volunteers hare been removed from Pensacola and
Mobile to join the gallant Beauregard, and their
places are to be filled by the militia. The business
part of Mobile presents a deserted and desolate ap
pearance. Nearly all the places of business are
closed, and their proprietors are vflf to tho wars.
TWO CENTS.
A WAOOISfI EX'GOVERXOR.
A Mobile paper remarks:
Ex-Governor Pratt, of Maryland, sends a letter
by underground railroad to Mr. Benjamin, in which
be snye that if we of ihe South hold on a mouth
longer—until the middle of April or the last of
May—the Lincoln dynasty will crumble under
own corruption and indebtedness.
THE fIUMIWAT QUESTION.
The Vicksburg Whig informs us that:
The success of iheVirgh/ia bos given a wonderful
impetus to this very proper enterprise. The con
struction of gunboats, in order tv bettor vvpe with
the Yankees upon the water, seem* to be all the
vogue throughout the South. We learn that tho
ladies of Asbury Chapel, in this county, have al
ready contributed forty-eight bales of cotton to aid
in constructing a gunboftt for ib« better protection
of the Mississippi Valley.
BELLS FOR BEAUREGARD.
The New Orleans Picayune states that the Ca
tholic clergy of New Orleans have sent word to
Gen. Beauregard that the balls
Church in New Orleans are at his disposal, to be
recast into cannon.
APPEAL TO THE WOMEN*
A lady writes to the Picayune. thus :
Our noble Beauregard calls on tho planters of
Louisiana for their bells tor brass to mould the
cannon with which to work out their deliverance.
Why should not the women of t,hs Confederacy,
who have nlroadjr shown thowsulvus worthy to be
the wives, mothers, daughters, and sisters of the
heroes now pouring out their hearts’ blood in de
fence of all that is dear to freemen, now contribute
their hearth ornaments, brass candlesticks, door
knobs, ha. ! I will Add no more, but will rest satis
fied that all those to whom tho above suggestion
has not already occurred will now hasten to aid
in the great cause by yielding these really insig
nificant articles to the artisans for their own de
fence. "
IRON FOR GUNBOATS.
Messrs. Murray <V Fowler have the following ad
vertisement in a Mobile paper:
Wa.tited /?« mcdtatel,y — For the gunboat J-.ou.i-
Hfinai three tons half-inch square iron* Bend it at
once, and charge as much as your patriotism will
permit.
The Milledgeville (Ga.) Recorder is rejoiced to
sec evidence from all quarters of the South that
the planters are resolved to give all their lands and
force to provisions, except a bare sufficiency to
preserve cotton seed, and enough lint for domestic
use. Hitherto, the great pride of cotton planters
has been In the quantity of production—the more
baleBthe greater tho triumph. Now, the rule is
just the contrary —the smaller the production the
higher the reward ; the brighter the patriotism and
the more enduring reputation of the planter.
The Recorder has the names of planters owning
field-hands by the hundred who will not plant a
seed of cotton, but cover their broad acres in grain
and other provision crops for 1.8G2. Were this
general, it believes the war would speedily termi
nate.
THE REBEL LOSS AT PITTSBURG

There is no doubt that the action near Corinth

reason to believe that official, reports will in

A letter from fort Wright to the Cincinnati
Commercial, doted April 20th, contains the fol
lowing :
Capt. Charles Seeds, with his fast and trim tug
“ Dauntless.:’ manned by seamen from one of tho
gunboats, a few dayH since made a reconnoissanco
up the Obion and Forked Deer Rivers. Char
ley has given us a brief description 9f 1118 (rip.
The Obion river empties into the Mississippi
river at Ilale’s l'oint, on the Tennessee shore,
forty-five miles above where our fleet now lies,
(at Plum Point, just below the old plum or
chard.) The first four miles up the Obion is
very narrow—not over one hundred feel wide.
He then came to a canal, constructed many years
ago, leading into the Forked Deer river. This
canal is one and a quarter miles in length, anil full
of drift, almost entirely obstructing navigation.
Th fi Forked Deer is a narrow and vtooked streaia.
(7s bank 3 are high, and up this stream, thirty
six miles from this canal, is the town of
Djcrshurg, Tennessee, containing a population
of 2,500 —its chief products being tobacco,
cotton, bacon, pork, Ac. This portion or mouth of
the Obion river, described above, is known as
IVeeiihum ,- Cut Oil, and is the old bed of the Mis
sissippi, leading off into lleclfoot Lake, a body of
water seven mile? wide and thirty-five miles long,
thirty teet being the least water ever known in it.
Here, we may remark, Marion Hukill, n pilot who
was captured at Island No. ill, informed one of
our jjilots, Hnm Htinlin, captain of the Ljce
Brie , that during the storm which raged so
fearfully and furinutly at No. 10. Cairo, and
ail along this section of the country, a few days
since, one hundred and fifty of the enemy were
drowned while trying to cross this lake, in the
storm, on a ferry boat and raft, constructed for
Ihe purpose of making good their retreat from
Island No. 10. Seeds found a large quantity of
Confederate hay and lumber in the Forked Deer,
and obtained information of value to our Command
ing Department.
On Thursday there was a very unexpected and
important movement of General Fopo’a large force,
the details of which it is not proper to give here.
However, rest assured, your readors will hear all
in due time, and be delighted with the strategy and
glorious result*
