DEAR Paris:: The condition of Ireland, changed as it has been within late yews by the Encumbered Estatei Act and other legislation, is well worth the attention of philosophers, of the practical class, in the United States. More espeidally as, with the strongest predilection, for the United States, the starving population of Ireland is now on the wing foi New South Wales and New Zealand, the main expense of emigration to these Colonies being paid by the British Government. To go from an Irish port--Dublin, Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Galway, Sligo, Londonderry, or Belfaat--to New York or Philadelphia, the principal American termini of Irish emigration, costs only a fourth of what it costs the British Government to take an Irish emi grant to New South Wales or New Zealand. The Irish would greatly prefex going to America, where the form of Government is very much to their taste, besides.the voyage being so much shorter, but they are not sufficiently "posted up " as regards the United States, and they are the dupes of misrepre- SentatiOnsin faVor of the Biltiih Colonies, cun ningly mad e with the,consent and by the agents of the Brash Government , This is explained, statisticians say, by the great famine and pestilence of 1847, which swept away vast numbers of the people, and certainly impelled many of the survivors to emigrate, as soon as they could scrape together the passage-money. Starva tion, pickness, and emigration have reduced the population of Ireland to its present low ebb. Bat emigration has been steady for the last half cen • tury, until the breaking out of the rebellion which has caused' your present war. Then it received a check, and then the British Government stepped in with its inducements to emigrate to the British Colonies, the premium being free passage and the promise of small patches of land, at prices small in comparison with what they are at home. The transfer of Irish property, by auction, under order if the now Encumbered Estates' Court, and the wholesale ejection of numerous small tenants who:paid little or no rent, and exhausted the land by perpetually growing potatoes upon it, without using any manure to restore to the soil what its . produce took-from it, has deprived thousands and tens of thousands of food. These poor people must remain and starve, or emigrate and live. The law of population is, that people ;increase more ra-, pidly than the means of subsistence can increase. Population doubles in twenty or twenty-five years, as a general rule, but subsistence very . rarely increases in anything like this ratio. In Ireland, since 1845, when the potato crop first failed, - subsistence has so much diminished that emigration has been had recourse to, as a necessity for prolonging or maintaining life. The question is, whither shall that destination be directed. The Colonial Secretary says to New South Wales and New Zealand, (ea Canada is in disgrace, on account of presumed American tendencies,) but poor Paddy • would himself say to Amerios, the great receptacle of his race, the great refuge of the poor, the groat home of the homeless, the great field for the ad venturous. He is too poor to go to America at his own cost, and is now being deported to New South -'Wales and New Zealand at the public cost. You see, then, one cause why emigration to"-the United 'States has been checked of late. The present war :.ie another—of "that I shell speak by and bye. ,"-• -In a paper; read before the British Association by Mr. Herman Merriale, he proves that every . sixth child born.in England and Wales has been provided for by emigration. This is shown by the fact that, - in. the-last ten years,' 'OO,OOO persons , have annually emigrated from England-and Wales %alone.

The'ripid declension in the population of Ireland has attracted the attention of political economists. The Comas Return shows it as follows : In 1821 Ireland had. 6,801,827 a inhabitants; 7,784,538 in 1831; 8,175,124 in 1841'; 0,515,794. in 1851; and 5 792,025 in 1881. Thus, contrary to all known examples in modern times, Ireland had a million more inhabitants forty years ago than it has at pre- England wants, especially wants, to get rid of her surplus Trish poplar - talon just now. Since the ;War : oommenced, the great safety-valve of emigra tion to America has been nearly closed. In Eng land, it provided for one child in six; in Ireland, for one child in three. Besides, since the Irish exodus to America has stopped, a lowering and dis eontented.humor has broken out, on the surface, in a large portion of the Irish population. Agrarian disturbances have recommenced—shooting land lords and stewards, burning houses and threatening tenants, have become common—and, to crown all, the old bad• feeling between Catholic and Protestant has been renewed, displaying itself in riots in Tralee and Belfast. 'lt - has become a necessity for Eng- land, under such an aspect of affairs, to carry away; at a national cost, the surplus population of Ireland. They are leaving in thousands, but they would pre fer going to America. It its obvious that the United States cannot com pete with England, by pecuniary means, in a case like this. But it is a pity that at least one hundred and fifty thousand able-bodied Irish who wart to go the United States, and would go within the next six months, if they could pay. ,for _their passage, must either remain to starve or yield to the temptation of being carried for • nothing to the • British Colonies of New South Wales and Now Zealand. lam as certain as that I sit and write. in this room, with the hubbub and noise of . Sachville street faintly ..sounding in my ears, that, with little management, as many as 200,000 able-bodied Irish emigrants may be induced to make America their home be tween January and August, 1863. This is always assuming that they are required, or would be re ceived there with the old hospitality. In the first place, the voyage is short; next, the Irish are re publican, and generally in favor of the Principle of • Government which has so long prevailed in the "United States ; then their best wishes are with the Union ; and, last, though not least, they look upon America as the promised land, in which they are to exoharge want for plenty, and poverty for wealth. The misfortune is that Paddy has only vague ideas of the details. What is wanted, and perhaps the U.S.. Consuls might do it, is this—to let Irish men know the nature of the advantages which they must gain by going to the United States. Constant work for those who will labor. Wages greatly bet ter than what they have ever received at home. Free education for their children. Free institu tions. Unbiassed administration of equal laws, and full enjoyment of equal political rights. Above all, under the Homestead Biil, which the Smith have always resisted, which Mr. Buchanan bluffed off, which Congress lately passed, every Irish man who lands there; and-declares hie intention of eititenahip, is entitled to land at the mere cost of its survey. As for the difference in food, clothing, and lodging, I presume I need not say a word. • Now, these are advantages which the Irish, best suited to emigrate, know oily vagaely, seeing them in a glass darkly. If there were an office of in formation, say at each consul's, whence full informs tion on these matters might be communioated to the public—real, reliable'facts—Emigration to the United States from Ireland would speedily be re sumed. Publication in the most popular journals here would; perhaps, be the better plan. To show you what the ignorance is, I shall add that a few days ago one of the waiters at this hotel, an active, " likely boy" as ever struck with a blackthorn at a fair or pattern, asked me whether, during the present war : every Irishman who landed in America was not immediately " listed" and marched off to join the army? He was much sur prised at my, answer in the negative, and more so whenl added that none but a naturalized citizen, which it toek five years to convert an emigrant into, was even liable to be drafted or baltotted for, when a large inorease to the army was immediately wanted. In conclusion, I say, there are a couple of hun dred thousand hardy Irishmen, discontented with hard fortune at home, who will probably be seduced ' . into going to the British Colonies, and who would greatly prefer emigrating to the United States.

(Special 417orremmndence of The Pram] HARPICR'S lunar, October 30, 1862. At present we are much in the dark as to the probable progress our army is to make in a southerly direction during the coming month. + 4 All signs of May fail in dry weather," but certainly the signs of an advance of this army at no very distant, period are unmistakable. It would seem an impossibility to allow this vast. Army of the Potomao to go into winter quarters,. without a loss from sickness and exposure, here at the foot oi the moun tains, which would set in the shade the mortality caused by a score of battles and as many wearisome marches. The troops are now in , admirable condition, and I have it from officers of the moat enlarged experience that the organization is generally as good, as can be hoped for under existing circumstances, and must be far superior to that present among the rebels. Various causes are auggeated for all• of this delay, of which the people complain so mush, and I find that• the Impression Is prevalent, among that class who are eon thmally raking up proofs that: this has been a useless war, end without any design except for its prolongation, that our army will go into winter quarters about Wash ington, whilst large , portions of the best corps will be or ganised into expeditions to operate at various points upon our meat. It cannot be , possible, however, that the fine army now here will be wasted thus, when we have - the enemy's whole force now fairly within our grasp, and daring us to come ca. Is not the secret of our elow movements evident in the recent operations of the enemy? By the excellent strategy displayed by Lee, his line of communica tion has been made secure while his while army was retreating to a more promising base of operations. While Jackson, Loring, Stuart, and Imboden were making their sallies in different directions, the com manding general of the rebel army was withdrawing Ms stores and ammunition trains to Staunton and Gordons ville. How, I can assure you that the rebels have a 'position from which they can operate defensively in the most successful manner against either avenue of advance our army may take. Should we advance np the Valley toward Staunton, he will immediately concentrate his entire forces at or near that point to repel the advance, whilst he will hope to flank us from Oharlottessille.. Should our main army be transferral° Manassas, and move via Onipeiter again upon Gordonsville, we would necessarily have . to light the decisive battle of the war near Gordonsville, in which, should we be successful, the rebel army would be easily and quickly destroyed, Richmond would fall, the war would be ended, and the peace which would then reign would be made by our saves. Such a consummation is devoutly to be hoped for early in the year 1563. Oar troops are ready, our generals prepared, the people willing, and the world de manding it—why not give the order 7 The rebels will avoid another battle. Their forces have to be husbanded. Their losses in the conflicts of the pest year have been very heavy, and their army is greatly reduced, whilst ours is larger and more efficient than ever before, and is receiving heavy additions of men and munitions of war every day. The rebel leaders de sire to have our army go into winter quarters, and re main inactive for a few months, so that they ciuld retake ell the positions we now hold on the Atlantic, in the Gulf, and throughout the Southwest. In all this they will be foiled, I am confident, for every movement made in this army, every arrangement completed, and every order given indicates a desire on the part of our generals and of our Government to have but one more campaign, and that a grand one, and ono as encceseln! as it is ponderous. Whatever reports may be circulated to the contrary, this army will remain with its present organization until it is either disbanded by the Government, or annihilated by the enemy . The Army of the Potomac will in future consist of three grand armies, nine corps, thirty divisions, seventy brigades. The first gland army will consist of the corps d'armire of Major Generals Reynolds (late Hooker), Fltz. john Porter, and W. B. Franklin, and will be commanded by the senior Major General, Joseph Hooker. The se cond army will consist of the corps diarmee of Major General Conch (late Sumner), 0. G. Wilcox (late Burn side), Slocum (late Banks), and will be commanded by senior Major Gineral Ambrose Everett Burnalde. The third grand army will consist of the corps d'armee of Ma jor General Oox and two others now organized, and to whom permanent oemmanders have not yet been assigned by the Preddent. This army will be commanded by se nior Major General Edwin F. Sunnier. Scouts coming in today report that there tine enemy "in force within thirty miles of our present position, and that, from what information they could gather, they were felling fack as rapidly as possible, taking with them all the wheat, corn, salt, stock, and horses they could find fn the valley. The rebels are reported to be very baby, and prepa ring for active operations. The rebel army in Northern Virginia is composed of two grand armies, under Lieut. Generale Jackson and Longetreet, consisting of four corps d'armee, of twelve brigades each, with artillery. The rebel cavalry arm forme a division, under command of 'Major General Stuart, who makes any detail for, or executes any order from, General Lee, and is entirely wader the control of the commanding general, his cavalry being an independent organization.

Rev. I. J. Stine. To the Editor of The Press: Sea : Some statements in The Press of the 27th Inst., in relation to Bey. Stine, we, of Perry county, know to be wholly unfounded. Without saying atything about his doings in connection with Capt. Palmer, or the ri diculous story about his attempted plot to secure the capture of Governor Curtin by the rebels at Hagerstown, we are certain that all that relates to his ee arriving at Ohambereburg in advance of the rebels " is untrue. Ever since the battle of Antietam Bev. Stine was at his mother in-law's, in Perry county. The rebel raid on Chambers • burg was made on Friday evening, the 10th inst. Now, Rev. Stine was at New Bloomfield, Perry county, Pa., from the 7th to the 10th inst., selling religions books in the court house of the place. On Friday, the 10th. at ten or eleven o'clock A. M., he left New Bloomfield in the stage to bring home his family. It is not true that ho e 4 arrived at Newport, his residence, on a wit to his wile." When he left New Bloomfield, on the 10th, he went to Bhippensburg, where his wife and children were on a visit to relations, and returned with them to his mother-in.law's. in Jackson township, where the sheriff found and arrested him. He has no charge of congre gations, for the reason that it is only a few months since he returned from Nova Scotia, where be preached for three or four years. In the Philadelphia /squirer of the 27th inst. it is stated that the people here were on the point of mobbing him at the time of his arrest. Now, Mr. Editor, there is not the shadow of truth in all this. The peoplehere could scarcely think it possitai that Rev. Stine should be arrested ; they were amazed, and ann.= pathtzed with him deeply, knowing that he was always loyal and sincerely devoted to the Union, and bitterly opposed to the cause of the rebels. No man in Perry county, or anywhere else, that knows him and his senti ments on the rebellion, will or can believe him to be any thing but a sound Union man, and an uncompromising enemy to Secessionism. We have known him for some six or eight years, and are sure he is willing, at any time, to give his life for the 'Union. For the sake of truth, and to vindicate an innocent and truly loyal man and minister of the gospel, we feel constrained to make them, statements. We know him, and can bear tea timony to his irreproachable character as a citizen and minister, as well es to his unletined loyalty to the Union. Our im pression here ie. that a mistake was made—that the wrong man was arrested. Yours, &c. H. D. . FOOFIT, - Pastor of Christ's Lutheran Church. NEW BI.OOIFIELD, Pa., October 27, 1862, lion.

The Federal steamers lying off Galveston, five in num ber. gave the authorities of the town four days to remove the women and children from the place, at the expire. Lion of which time they would shell the place it it was sot surrendered. The cause of the attack, or rather the initiation of the assault, was the firing into the steamer Harriet Lane by the guns at Fort Point.

The latest telegram from Galveston is dated the 6th Inst., and speaking of the movements of the Federsls, ease: Tbey landed yeeterday again at the point, but have not permanently occupied it, having a wboleeome fear of a cavalry dash.

Deßray, in removing such machinery and foundry works as can be got off, audit Is not Probable the enemy will find much on the Island of value. Orders have also been leaned to inform the people that, should our troops leave the islar.d,oommunication will at once be out off, and those who remain will be compelled to depend on their own means of subsistence, as no sap. pliea will be allowed to enter the city.

The determination of the military authorities seems to be to confine the enemy to the bay centignona to the island. The force before the city, while not very formi dable as a fleet, is yet sufficient to indicate the future movements of the enemy on our coast, and warn the people residing near the coast of the danger, should the bays and rivers beleft unguarded.

HEADQUARTERS CAVALRY DIVISION, Oct. 9, 1862. During the expedition into the enemy's country, on which this command is about to engage, brigade com manders will make arrangements for seizing horses, the property of citizens of the United States, and all other property subject to legal capture, provided that in no case will any species of property be taken except by au thority given in person or in writing of the commander of brigade, regiment, or captain of a company, in the absence of his superior officers. In all cases a simple receipt will be given, to the effect that the article is seized for the use of the Confederate States, giving place, date, and name of owners, in order to enable the indi vidual to have recourse upon his Government for damage. Individual plunder for irivate use is positively for bidden, and every instance must be punished in the as.. verest manner, for an army of plunderers consummates its own destruction. The capture of anything will not give the captor any individual claim, and all horses and . equipments will be kept to be apportioned, upon the re turn of tfle expedition, through the entire division. Bri gade commanders will arrange to have one-third of their respective commands engaged in leading horses, limy - Mod enough can be procured, each man linking so as to lead three horses; the led horsesbeing habitually in the centre of the brigade, aad the remaining two-thirds will keep, at all times, prepared for action. The attack, when made, must be vigorous and over whelming, giving the enemy no time to reconnoitre or consider anything, except his beat means of Hight. All persons found in transit must be detained, to to the orders of the division provoet marshal, to prevent in formation reaching the enemy. As a measure of justice to our many good citizens who, without crime, have been taken from their homes and keptby the enemy in prison, all public functionaries—inch as magistrates, postmas ters, sheriffs, &c —will be seized as prisoners.

October 10, 1 crossed' the Po. tonsac at McCoy's, between Williamsport and IfancOrt, with some little opposition, capturing two or three horses of enemy's pickets. We were told here, by citizens, that a large force had camped the night before at Clear Bpring, hid were anpposed to be en route to Cumberland.

BIZ lines constitute a gnarls. burg, Pa., which point was reached about noon. I VIM extremely anxious to reach Hagerstown, where large supplies were stored, but was satisfied, from reliable la formation, that the notice the enemy had of my ap proach, and the proximity of his forces, would enable him to prevent my capturing it. I therefore turned towards Charebereberg. I did not reach this point till after dark, in a rain: I did not deem ft wife to defer the attack till morning, nor was it proper to attack a Plato full of wo men and children without summoning it first to surren der. I accordingly sent in a flag of truce, and found as military or civil authority in the place ; but some promi nent citizens, who met the officer were notified that the place would be occupied, and if any resistance was made the place would be shelled in three minutes. Brigadier General Wade Hampton's command being In advance, tock possession of the place, and I appointed him Military Governor of the city. lie incident oo curred during the night, during which it rained contian amity. The officials ell fled the town on our approach, and no one could be found who would admit that he held °Mee in the place. Abut 276 sick and wounded in hospi tals were paroled. During the day a large manner of tunes of citizens were seized and-brought along. The wires were cut, and railroads a ere obstruoted. Next morning it was ascertained that a large number of email arms and munitions of war were stored about the rail road buildings, all of 'which that could not be snotty brought away were destroyed, consisting of. about five tboueaid new Minket', pistols, sabres, ammunition ; else, a large assortment of army clothing. The extensive ma chine shops and depot buildings of the railroad, and se veral trains of loaded cars, were entirely destroyed. From Obambersburg I decided, after mature consideration. to Strike for the vicinity of Leeeburg, as the best route of return, particularly es Oox's commend would have ren dered the direction of Cumberland, fall of mountain gorges, partioularly hazardous. The route selected was through an open country. Of course I left nothing un done to prevent the inhabitants from detecting my route and object. I started directly towards Gettysburg. bat having passed the Blue Ridge, turned back towards Ha gerstown for six or eight miles, and then crossed to Ma ryland by Emmettaburg, where, as we passed, we were hailed by the inhabitants with the most enthusiastic: de monetrations of joy. A scouting party of 150 lancers had just crossed towards Gettysburg, and I regret exceed ingly that my march did not admit of the delay necessary to catch them. Taking the road towards Frederick, we Intercepted despatchee from Col. Bush (lancers) to the commander of the scout, .which satisfied me - that our Whereabouts was still a problem to the enemy. Before reaching Frederick, I crossed the idoneoaer, continued the march through the night, via Liberty, New Market, Monrovia, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, where we cut the telegraph wires and oh etructed the railroad. We reaobed, at daylight, Elyatts town, on McClellan , '" line of wagon communication with Washingtcn, but we found only a few wagons to cap ture, and pushed on to Barnesville, which we found just vacated by the enemy's cavalry. We had here corrobo rated, what we had heard before, that Stoneman tied between 4,000 and 6,000 troops about Poolesville awl guarding the river fords. I started directly for Pooles- Ville, but instead of marching upon that point, avoided it by marching through the woods, leaving it two or three relies to my lett, and getting into the road from Pooleaville to the mouth of the Monocaoy. Guarding Well my flanks and rear, I pushed boldly forward, meet • lag the head of the enemy's column going towards • Pooleseille. I ordered the charge, which was reeponded to in bandseme style by the advance eQuairou ( Ir ving's of Lee's brigade, which drove back the enemy's cavalry upon the column of infantry advancing.to oo cupy the crest from which the cavalry were drivels. Quick as thought Lee's sharpshooters sprang to the ground, and, engaging the infantry skirmishers, held them in check till the artillery in advance came up, which, under the gallant Pelham, drove back the enemy force to his batteries beyond the Monecace, between which and cur solitary gun quite a spirited fire continued for some time. This answered, in connection with the high crest occupied by our piece, to screen entirely my real movement Quickly to the left, making a bold sad ra pid stride for White's Ford, to make my way across be fore the enemy at Poeleeville and Monocacy could be aware of my design. Although delayed somewhat by about two hundred infantry, strongly posted In the oil& over the fcrd, yet they yielded to the moral effect of a few shells before engaging our eharpshooters, and the crossing of the canal (now dry) and the river was effected with all the precision of parsing a defile on drill. A sec tion of artillery being sent with the advance, and placed in position on the London aide, another piece on the . Maryland height. while Pelham continued to occupy the attention of the seamy with the other, withdrawing from position to position until his piece was ordered to cross. The enemy was marching from Pooleeville in the mean time, buf came up In line of battle on the Maryland bank, only to receive a thundering salutation, with evi dent effect, from our gunson this side. I lost not a man killed on the expedition, and only a few slight wounds. The enemy's loss Is not known ; but Pelham's one gun compelled tee enemy's battery to change its position three times. The remairder of the march was destitute of interest. The conduct of the command, and their be havior towards the inhabitants, is worthy the highest praise; a few individual oases only were exceptions is this particular. Brigadier General Hampton and Ordonels Lee, Jones, Wickham, and Butler, and the officers' and men Under their commands, are entitled to my lasting gratitude for their coolness in danger and cheerful obedience to orders. llnoffending persons were treated with civility, and the Inhabitants were generous in proffers of provision on the march. Weitefzed'and brought over a large number of horses, the property of citizens of the United States. The valuable information obtained in this reconnois sance as to the distribution of the enemy's force was Dom municated orally to the commanding general, and need not be here repeated. A number of public fanotionaries and prominent citizens were taken' captives and brought over as hostages for our own unoffending citizens whore the enemy has torn from their homes and confined IR dungeons in the North. One or two of my men lost their WAY, and are probably in the hands of the enemy. The results of this expedition, in a mcral and political point of view, can nardly be es timated,i and the conster nation among property holders in Pennsylvania beggars description.

Seventy Thousand Rebels to be Concen trated at Holly Springs—Helena to be Attacked—Joe , Johnston Commanding the Trans-Mississippi Department. -- vrir-etee4resesaes fns tin.lict.2-1.1 cavalry tinder Colonel Bailentine, numbering at - -- thousand, made their appearance on the State-line road, near White's Station, on the Memphis and Chsrieston. Railroad, about nine miles from Memphis, at daylight this morning. Our informant could not state whether the cavalry was alone or was accompanied by infantry and artillery, but it .was a larger force than the people in that section had been in the habit of seeing. They took possession of the road, end would permit no one to pass until they lied been taken to their headquarters, which wee situated in the vicinity of Pearson's Mill, and near Honconnah. There were a good many farmers on the road, bringing in their cotton to Memphis, and, while some succeeded is hiding it, others undoubtedly lost theirs • It is not known what is the precise object of this force, but it was so large as to excite apprehension in the neighborhood that it was only the advance-guard of a large force to menace our city, the object of the. Confed erates being to harass and annoy on all aides, and simul tar,eonely. This lathe plan foreehadowed in the Grenada _Appeal, wherein it asks the good offices of the people in behalf of the expatriated families, and avows that, ea soon as they have got out of the way, they can then Inflict proper and merited punishment upon the people left here! The Confederates have of late beeotne very particular as to all their movements. They affect great confidence, and shrug their shoulders very knowingly, Intimating that developments will soon be forthcoming which will strike terror to every loyal heart. But, notwithstanding all this, we are assured that it is the intention of the Confederates to concentrate an army of seventy then mind at Holly Spriegs, with a view to offensive opera tions. Already have ten to fifteen thousand troops from Texas and ether points reached Holly Springs ethos the Corinth fight, and a perfect atream is pouring in addi tionally every day. It ID also said that the entire militia of Mississippi and Alabama have again been called out, and once again the Southwest is to overrun a ith the largest army thoy can possibly raise. hlempnfe, which has so magnanimously fed all West 5 enncssee and North Mississippi, has I ;tell become a special object of aversion, -and intimations are given that they never mean to rest until it is again in their possession or in ruins. REPORTS FROM HELENA. The steamboat Ed. Walsh passed up from Helena this morning. Intelligence by passengers on board her eon firms news before received, showing that an attempt tee capture Helena by the Confederates will very probably be made at an early day, or it may have commenced by the time that we write this, if the expectations that are generally held about Helena are well founded Wehave reported that the last three or four arrivals from below brought news of continued skirmishes with forces back of Helens, and the contra Won of the line of Federal pickets. At the same time parties of guerillas have been trouble acme on the Mississippi shore opposite. It is reported n Helena that forty thousand troops are threatening ihe place, and the statement of a Federal prisoner ar i ived on parole from Little Bock, which we published this morning, sustains the probability of a considerable 3 ebel force being destined for that service. It has been confidently stated that a number of army wagons—the lowest number mentioned is sixtyhed not arrived at their destination, and a number of cavalry sent to slicer tain what had become of them bad not been heard from as late as y esterday. We give these accounts for what they may be worth, only observing that these tort of as sertions have been current in Helena from day to day; they have considerable consistence about them, and all point in the same direction—that is the belief that en at tackon Helena is contemplated by the enemy. REPORTS FROM LITTLE ROCK. Pomernonthe ago a member of the 13110 Illinois Infantry went out on a cotton expedition froni Clarendon, and was fatten a prisoner by the. Confederates. He was con fined in a narrow, mean cell in the State prison at Little Beck.- liiiwrote several times to General Holmes to be paroled, but for a long time hie appeals were disregarded. Finally his request was granted, and while awaiting the necessary formalities at Little -Bock, he overheard a conversation between the efficere,,to the effect that they had already about seventy thousand men that they could bring against Helena. He saw Gen. Joe Johnson arrive with twenty-four new regiments, and he thinks that their • neat movement will probably be for Helena. It may be possible that the talk about 70,000 men, among the offi cers, was all for effect; but there can be no doubt about the arrival of the twenty-four new regiments. It is now very certain, we believe, that, unless there is a battle at or near Helena, there will be none fors long time to come in General Curtis' department.
