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. In .the same time, a like number (a million
litaU) has ezeigrated to the United States from

LETTERS FROM ABROAD.
Men. and. Things ithelanC
[Qorreepondence of The Preoi.]
GILBSIIAR'S HoTzL, Dub Ootaer 10, 1802.
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.

When the battle was over, and the night bad covered
the dead and the wounded under the dark trees, the
Bishop- General Polk stationed himself, with a email and
secret force, under the shadow of the forest, by the side

(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.

ENTHUSIASTIC UNION MEETINGS BEING lIELD

OP PHILADELPHIA-THE GOOD WORK GAINING
Musoan, D 61., 0cC23,18V2.
Of course you are not ignorant of the positions parties
have assumed in this State, and the issues that have been
forced upon us. So glaring end repeated have been their
acts, so outspoken and defiant have been their words,
that no true Union-loving citizen of our State can fall
to knotiand understand that the so-called Democracy of
Delaware, to. day, is nothing more or lees than a clique in
league with and working for the benefit of the traitorous
hordes now in arms against the Government. They are
constantly harping on the inhumanity and cruelty of im
prisoning Northern traitors, but never say a word against
Southern ones thrusting our own citizens into the filthy
dens of the South; crying out against " Lincoln's viola
tions of the Oonstitution," but not one word against the
treason of the Southern rebels; but we believe they are
destined to be undeceived on Tuesday next ; and we opine
that the Union party, in favor of crushing rebellion and
traitors wherever found, will roll up a majority for its
canO.idates that will astonish the people of your State.
Enthusiastic Union demonstrations are being made all
Over the State. Among the speakers, yourfellow citizen,
Gol. Philip S, White, has been with ns for mare than a
week past, aidressing large and enthusiastic 'molds of
our citizens in Kent and Sussex counties, in his visual,

this place on Saturday last, and was received very
enthusiastically by the people. He has, also, spoken at
Lewes, Milton, Harrington, Baltimore Hundred, and ye.
rims other places.
Thus is the geed work progressing in Delaware, and
we tenet that the honor of the "glorious old Stars and
Stripes" wilt be fully sustained by the triumphant elec
tion of the Union candidates on Tuesday next.
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.

Slates cannot but feel the injury our holy cause has re

Such men as James H. Oompbell cannot, in these terri

vice of the Government; and, if President Lincoln de

LATE NEWS FROM THE SOUTH.
The Gunboat Attack on Galveston, Texas.
The Blclunond Dispata of October 25 contains the
following telegraphic new
The Federal fleet off Galveston, Texas, attacked that
city on the 4th Met. A. Federal steamer ran past the
battery at Fort Point tinier a heavy fire, and laid to at
the central wharf. The battery was then destroyed by
the Confederate troops, who marched to Virginia Point.
The troops in Galveston loft and went to the same point.
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 Harriet
Lane steamed in under a flag of truce, but went too far,
and was tired into. 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. There are a sufficient number of troops
on the island to repel any landing. While the enemy
occupy their present position Col Cook is engaged, under
orders from Col. 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.
Measures are already on foot for a rigid police of the
bay, and an active cavalry force win continually scour
the mainland opposite the island and the country along
Buffalo Bayou, the Trinity, Neches, and Sabine.
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.

You are desired to gain all information of the position, force
and probable intention of the enemy which you can,, and
in your progress into Pennsylvania you will take mea

may take on your return to Virginia.
To keep your movement secret it will be necessary for
you to arrest all citizens that may give Information to
the enemy ; and should you meet with citizens of Penn.

desirable, if convenient, to bring them with you, that
they may be need as hostages, or the means of exchange

The destination and extent of this expedition had bet

say that, with the hearty co-operation of officers and

will reflect credit in the highest degree upon your arms.

STUART'S REPORT OF THE AFFAIR.
UNION.
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. They will
be kindly treated, and kept as hostages for our own. No
straggling from the route of march or bivouac for the
purpose of Obtaining provisions, &0., will be perwitted in
any case, the commissaries and quartermasters ng re
quired to obtain and furnish all such supplies in bulk as
may be necessary.
So much of this order as authorizes seizures of Darien'
and property will not take effect until the command
crosses the Penns3iTaola
The utmost activity is enjoined upon the detachments
procuring horses, and unceasing vigilance upon the en
tire command.
Major J. P W. Hairston is hereby appointed Dleision
Provost Marshal. BY command of

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

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.

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

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.
