At Jackionville the rebels succeeded in creating
some commotion by placing a.section of artillery
upon a platform car, and running it to the edge of
the city, whence they threw a number of shells,
without efifectiDg any seriouß results, however. One
shell entered the dwelling of a Union man, passing
through the room where himself and wife were
sleeping, and penetrated the rocking-chair on which
their clothes were piled. One soldier of the Bth

Port Royal, S. 0., April 2, 1563. :
The propeller Burnside arrived from Fernandina,

paniesof the 7th New Hampshire Regiment. She
likewise confirms the previous intelligence that
Jacksonville lias been evacuated by our troops, and
brings the additional news (which I gave you yes
terday doubtingly) that that beautiful town has
been destroyed. The facts are as follows : ;
Jacksonville was held by the Sth Maine, 6th Con
necticut, Ist South Carolina, (negro regiment,) and
about 130 of the v2d South Carolina regiment—also
negro—a force sufficient to have held the whole of
Florida, aided by the gunboats, had such been the
policy of our military leaders. On Sunday last, the
rebels approached the town with a railroad battery,
and threatened to commence shelling unless our
troops surrendered. No attention was paid to this
communication, and two hourß afterward the shell
ing commenced.: On the same day our troops evacu
ated the place without loss, and came north as far:
as this "point. It is not clear whether the town was
fired by our troops or. the enemy, but it is very cer
tain that it haß been burned, with the exception of
one block of buildings.
A day or two ago, Colonel ' Montgomery, with 130
negro troops, captured sixteen rebel prisoners, hap

The “ Patton House,” the largest mansion in Fer

milies, who have thus been left shelterless.

of this point, they met two of the Monitors, moving
in a southerly direction. It may possibly be that
they were going to leave their caries de visite at Sa

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND,
Nashville, Tenn., April 3, 1863,
DESERTERS.;
The body of men known as deserters, now.roam
ing at large in the North, if returned to their respec
tive regiments, would,increase the Army of the-
Cumberland alone between eleven and twelve thou
sand men. The list, in part, embraces thenamesof
many who have been slightly wounded, and permit
ted by indulgent officers to return, for a brief period;
to their homes. But the majority of deserters from
this army are those who have maliciously run away.
During Gen. Buell’s retrograde movement last year,
it is estimated that he lost forty-eight hundred men
by desertion. A great many officers place the num*
bers exceeding seven thousand.
f\ There is but one way to guard against wholesale
desertion—punishment. And if the gigantic eiror is
not checked immediately our army will diminish and
dwindle away. Its moral effect upon those soldiers.
who perform their duty-is injurious. Every man
has his recollections of home, and the desire to again
see friends, coupled with the fact that thousands of
men are away without leave,'with seeming impuni
ty, enticesmany a soldier from his path of duty. It
is estimated that the Army of the Cumberland may
be strengthened to the number of fifteen thousand
men,vWhOße legitimate business is in the ranks. This
includes teamsters, hospital nurseß, and deserters.
Hiring negroes may be easily substituted for both
of the above-named situations.
Negroes make the best teamsters, and the most
accommodating nurses and valets de chanibre, In
round numbers, rather small, however, in the ag
, gregate,‘the army at Murfreesboro may be strength
ened as follows:
Deserters (according to statements of officers). S,ooo
Hospital nurses.. 2,800
Teamsters . 3,600
Men otherwise unnecessarily detailed 1,200
To give you some idea of the number of desertions,
there are 78 from the 79th Pennsylvania, one of the
noblest regimentß in the .field,Sind a great distance
from horiie. From a certain. Indiana regiment, the
deserters number 160 men; From; a Wisconsin
regiment .more than half that number. The two

There have been cases here where ladies, with
lovers in the rebel ranks, have married with some of
the national boys. Whether it is on account of the
intelligence, good looks, or good clothes of the Fede
ral officers, or whether it is because the girls, always
thinking about getting married, you know, reflect
upon the old quotation of “ Go it while you’re young,
foi|when you’re old you can’t,” I cannot say. But
that many of the ladies are getting rid of single life,
thanks to us fellows, I will attest. Well, its fun—l
suppose.
WIT AND HUMOR—Original.
General Negley Bent out a foraging expedition, a
few days ago, with orders to the commander to visit
every habitation, mill, barn, and out-house, and
seize upon everything fit for consumption by man
and beast. During the expedition a Bquad made . a
break for a free school-house.
‘‘Don’t disturb anything there!” cried one of the
officers. “ If. there had been a few more'such insti
tutions in the South there would have been no re
bellion.” .Which was, unquestionably, a fact.
-.General Harding, the . wealthy rebel, visited the
; eity, a uay or two ago, and met Mr. Sam Carter, a
•friend of his, an honest Union man, and the follow
ing dialogue took place: '<
“ I tell you what it is, Mr. Carter,” said General
Harding, “ between the Federal and rebel soldiers I
am about ruined. My horses, cattle, sheep, buffa
loes, deer, and poultry, are all gone, and I expect I
.shall lose all my money,”
“ Well,” says Carter, “ why don’t you embrace the.
cause and come out, and let the bogus Confederacy
.go?”
“Oh, that’s nonsense,” replied Harding, “ iF I
-should do that, I’d lose all my friends.”
“ Dose .your friends! Why, damn it,” said Carter,
“ if you lose your money you’ll lose your friends at
any rate.’’
. Which was very true, and rather hard on Hard
ing.
An individual applied to Ed. H. East,- Secretary
of State, for a recommendation for a pass yesterday,
stating that he had had no hand in the rebellion,
either one way or the other.
“ AVhere do you livet” said East.

years'!”
11 Making brushes.”
“Where!”
“In jail.”
“Oh !”
“ The fact is, Mr. East, you have forgotten me. I
■was tried for stealing, some three. years ago, and
you worked hard to clear me, but didn't do it.”
“ Well, I’ll clear you now,” said the Secretary,
and he wrote the recommendation.
Which was clever.
There are a great many unpublished little:anec
dotes in connection with that well-known military
humbug, General Gilbert, who is almost friendless
in the army, and especially so since the Franklin
disaster. He will be remembered as the captain
whom General WriEkt made a major general, and
who, luckily, at last, has been confirmed brigadier..
He is extremely pompous ap.d fiissyj and one day, in
citizen’s clothes, passed,; with three or four cattle
a short distance ahead of him, a square-rigged pri
vate^"of the llth Kentucky, who failed to present
arms, of course. This enraged Gilbert, and he
shouted— „ .
“ Sir! why don’t you. present arms s lam Major
General Gilbert, sir.”
“ Ob, excuse me,” said old Ifentuck, “I thought
you was some army; contractor —those cows being
in front of you!” which was rough on the “major
general.”
“Well,” said one gentleman to another, this
morning, “ How is the Union to-day 1”
- “Well, what do you mean —the Union, or-the
Nashville Union?” "
“ I mean—either or both.”
“Well, sir, I say that the Union is all right,!”
“But, now, which is-all right— llia Union or the
Union newspaper!”
• “Boift, sir!”
Which was an endorsement of Ihc Union, and com
plimentary to the Union.
Frank McNairy, of blood-hound notoriety, once re
marked that he hoped to find himself in hell If the
Southern. Confederacy failed to establish its inde
; pendeiiCe. Frank was killed in, the last Tight at Do
nelson, and in all probability he lias not only found
himself in hell,“but has found a great many of his
old friends there.
Which is wicked.

LATE SOUTHERN NEWS CONFIRMED.
Yesterday a gentleman received a letter from his
son, a member of the Rock City Guards, in which
the following occurs:
“ General Joseph Johnston is first in command,
although he is not-here, and really, therefore, Gen,
Bragg ib the chief. We do not think much of Bragg.
But he is not to blame for evacuating Murfreesboro,
as promised reinforcements did not arrive, and could
not arrive, owing to the Yankee raid into East Ten
nessee. Shortly after the battle eleven brigades
arrived from "Virginia, and have been here ever
since. They belonged to Longstreet’s command,
but General Early came with them. We have also
received reinforcements from Vicksburg. - Our army
is twice as large aB it was immediately subsequent
to our evacuation of Murfreesboro. Frank Cheat
ham and George Manney will resign, I believe, if
General Johnston declines an engagementfthis side
of the Tennessee river. The difficulty which has
existed between our brave boys and those from the
States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, has
entirely passed away.. Governor Harris was here a
few days ago, and is doing all he can for us. He in
formed us that" within a few weeks there had ar
rived, from points within view of Nashville, a’ hun
dred odd conscripts. Is that true! I thought the

A friend of mine permitted me to make use of just
the above paragraphs. But the letter contained
speculations of matters arid things in the South un
congenial to those engaged in the “ cause of South

“ would give a.year’B: scrip, if the country could once

THE FOREIGN NEWS,
brought by the « City of Cork,” occasions some stir
in commercial circles, the ease with which the rebels
are securing English and French subscriptions to
their foreign loan being regarded as significant of
matured European sentiments and intentions toward
this country. It appears to be a prevalent-idea
amongst those who would be most seriously affected
by a foreign difficulty, that any steamer arriving
now is likely to. bring news that Minister Adams
liaß demanded hiß passports. I can trace this idea to
no more definite justification than a vague surmise
of Mr. Seward’s-having lately instructed Mr. Adams
to take determined ground with the British Govern
ment respecting the deliberate laxity of the latter in
the matter of English ship-building for the rebels. A
temporary suspension of diplomatic relations be
tween the two countries is the least momentous event
anticipated as likely.to result from the affair. There
is also considerable uneasiness about the case of the
prize steamer “ Petei-hoff,” which was captured while
sailing under French 1 colors by Commodore Wilkes.
The contraband articles found on her were a rebel
colonel and a rebel mail, and hence she was
taken on suspicion of being a blockade-runner. . It
is now. asserted, however, that she was bound for
Mexico, with surgeons’ and military supplies, for
the French army there, and that Wilkes committed
a breach of international law in seizing her as he
did. But it is hardly worth while to attribute seri
ous importance to popular suspicions and fore
bodings, while the popular mind is unsettled and ex
cited with the thousand conflicting complexities or
our present national crisis. : Trifles are magnified
into events of the direst import, through the dis
torting agency of capricious humor, and a mania for
news of; any.kind, good or bad, renders our public
constantly liable to demoralizing impositions. Yes
terday afternoon, a very clumsy''rumor of the cap
ture of Charleston was sufficient to cause a fall of
five per cent, in gold, and to-day an equally absurd
rumor of disaster causes a greater rise.

ABpHEISHOP HV<*BE§
, contributes a characteristic letter of office to one of
the papers of this city to-day in response to certain
flippant comments upon himself which appeared in
the Dubuque (Iowa) Herald of Tuesday last. The
Dubuque sheet, in its Copperhead vein, asserted
that the prelate had turned war Democrat, and was
“favoring the new conscription- law and all the
other outrageous measures of this Administration
hut comforted itself with' the reflection that, how
ever powerful the Archbishop may be in the Church,
“in politics he is of do more consequence than the
humblest’citizen.” 'in his reply to this, Mr. Hughes
designates the notorious Dennis A. Mahoney (late
of Port Lafayette, and the author of “ The Prisoner
of State”) as the writer, and denies the soft im
peachment. He believes that if a conscription law
had been put in force twenty months ago at. the
North, as it was at the South, the results would be
of more humane consequences to both sections than
they are to-day. As for' the statement that the
Archbishop is of no L more importance in politics
than the humblest citizen, Mr. Hughes says that
“the Archbishop of New York, if he were to employ,
even for twenty-four hours, his influence in whatthe
world calls politics, could make a deeper sensation than
Mr. Mahoney and the Dubuque Herald could effect in
twenty-four years.”
From this the inference is'clear that Archbishop
Hughes has no deßire at all to hide the immense
political power included in his high priestly office.
Were Mr. Lincoln a Roman Catholic, the Arch
bishop ol New York mightpossiblyaspire to become
his Richelieu.

called the u Last Lays of Pompeii,” (by Errigo Pe

demy of Music. The plot and characters are those
of Bulwer’s romance of the same name, and Ar
baces, Nidia, Glauco, lone, and Burbo achieve their
musical destinies according to,the theory of the
novel. Those who went to see the opera with the
expectation of enjoying fine spectacular illustrations
of the eruption of Vesuvius in the distance, and the
destruction of the city in the middle distance, were
disappointed, as they were only treated to the “fear
ful noise’ 5 of those terrific events. There is enough
of sensational effect,' however, in the business of
the orchestra to pleaße the general masses, and the
solo and concerted music of the score is sufficiently
melodramatic-in-ita ; writing to atone for a want of
perspicuity and happy proportion in melody: r

it rather tamely. The obera, as a whole, was rather
a success for the singers than for the composers;

to have a permanent place in popular music, and

each year a more extended recognition of the
church-holidays than the year before. The actual
increase of the Episcopal Church is proba
bly not great, but its spirit is more recognized in
city society.
. IJnlike our New Hampshire friends, who, too
thrifty to have two holidays when one maybe made
to an swer, have postponed their Fast-day to make it
correspond with the National Past on the 30th of
April, our annual State Fast was observed on Thurs
day last.
Beal estate, moved by the feeling that spring
ought to be here, was an exception' to .the general
depression, and the sales were numerous. Perhaps
the most interesting to strangers was the purchase
of the Chapman Hall estate by the Parker House
proprietors, to give room to needed additions to this
popular hotel. The estate at the corner of New
bury Place and Washington street, has been bought
’by a company who propose to erect a theatre which
shall combine the completeness in arrangement of
the Boston Theatre, with the cosiness and comfort
of a smaller house like the Museum. The building
will be commenced at once, and it is hoped to have
the houße in readiness'for next winter season.
, A. Bmall theatre, n£ar the South End, has been
much wanted for a year or two. past, since the ex
tent and pleasantness of the made lands in that
direction have drawn thither so many householders.
Another improvement equally needed is earnestly
talked of, and will probably be made ere a twelve
month—a hotel south of Boylston street. Withthe.
exception of Parker’s, all the hotels we now have
are old buildings, 4 and lack the conveniences to
which the common use of water and gas has accus
tomed the travelling public, and are inconveniently
far from the pleasanter parts of the town; there is
one straight Btreet in Boston/and Btrangerß natu
rally wish to be hear that.
The most popular and useful of amusements for
the past week have been Gilmore’s concerts in aid
of the soldiers. The profits of each evening went to
the benefit of some previously specified regiment
This, of course, aroused the friends of each regiment,
and the consequence has been very full houses and
handsome receipts. • A fine piano, presented by the
manufacturers, was sold in shares of one dollar,
giving a taste of the almost forgotten excitement of
lottery ticket purchasing.
Miss Kichings and her father are at the Museum,
giving “The Rose of Tyrol,” a new comic opera, by
Mr. Eichberg,-the leader of the Museum orchestra.
The characters are only three, but each one is in
good hands, and even its first representation, yes
terday evening, gave pleasure to a full house. The
melodies scattered through it _ are all light but
pleasing, and of a popular character.
Jane English is meeting with the most flattering
success at the New Tremont. A French vaudeville
is brought out every evening, followed by a ballet
and a pantomime; the pantomime being under the
direction of M. Zanfretta and the “original” Havel
troupe, the other “original” Havels being at the
Boston Theatre ; so people may have their choice
between two Havel troupes. When I was a child,
one troupe was thought us much as the
world could produce, but thiß is an age of progres
sion—a dozen Atlantic cablcßwill not surprise our
children’s mature years.
It is understood that Mr. Barrow is organizing a
combination company, for the Howard Athenaeum,
where John E. Owens has : been delighting full
houses for the past fortnight.
Again, today, we have a driving storm of ram
and snow, which can hardly4be said to be falling, for
■ the wind drives it horizontally past my windows,
almost making one think it doesn’t totich the ground
at all, but is continually blown around our city.

• Campaigns op 1862 axd ISG3.—a volume , with
thistitjp, by Emil Schalk, author of an excellent
“Summary of the A.rt of War,” expressly intended
to illustrate the principles of Strategy, has just been
published by J. B. Lippincott & Co.; as part of their *
military library—a series of much variety and great
value. In the present volume Mr. Schalk supplies
a sequel to hie previous performance, yet which
may be advantageously perused without reference
to, or connection with, that work. His idea is to
point out how, where, and when, our armies,
violating the great principles of the art of war,
failed in securing the successes which their valor
might have expected to achieve. From the errors
of the past the most practical lesson for the future
is to be learned. Here- the campaigns of 1862 are
reviewed, and the probable operations of 1863, are
anticipated. The author, at starting,#. a
summary of xhe principles of strategy : next, he
enters into the geography of the Southern Con
federacy : then he applies the principles of stra
tegy to the theatre of war constituted by the
Southern Confederacy: after that he reviews the
campaign of 1862, and finally he treats of what, in
his opinion, the campaign of 1863 ought to be. These
chapters are illustrated with maps and plans, which
will greatly assist military as well as civil readers.
TVe cannot pretend, in a mere notice like the pre
sent, to enter fully into an analysis of the book, and
therefore merely indicate its general purpose and
execution. Of the battle of Antietam, Mr. Schalk
says its object was to drive the rebels out of Mary
land, and this object was attained. He adds,
“Nevertheless, more might have been gained had it
not been for some mistakes. The Army of the Po
tomac took seven dayß to march from Washington
to Fredericktown, a distance of 40 miles, or, at the
outside, two days s march. This slowness evidently
gave the rebels the necessary time to complete their
necessary preparations against Harper's Ferry.
From Fredericktown the movement was conducted
with more energy. The fights of South Mountain
and Crampton Gap are creditable to the victors.
The battle of Antietam was fought, and, though
at ODe time a drawn battle, it became a

that is to say, in a position more advantageous to
them than that of Sharpsburg, with the Potomac ia

the battle must also he considered as a ~
Concludes by saying “the great and main-fault com
mitted in this short campaign was, however, the ex
posing of the troops at Harper’s Perry to capture,’ l
He asks what was the use of holding Harper’s Ferry
at the moment the rebels were in Maryland and oc
cupied Fiederiektown! On the Peninsula campaign
-Mr. Schalk gives hi 3 opinion very fully, and does
not attach importance to the capture of Richmond,
the residence of the rebel government, not their ca- ' *
pita). The capture o£ "Washington, hfe iiiges, wbilii
'probably finish the war, but the capture of-Rich-"
mond would not probably have more influence on
-the ultimate result than the capture of Nashville,
MemphiSj or New Orleans, As to the future, the
author thinks that the campaign -of 1863
will be a. continuation of that’ of 1862
with the capture of Richmond and the* open
ing of the Mississippi still the main objects to
be obtained by the Eastern and Western Union
armies. The.rebels adopt the plan of attacking the
‘Union troops successively and in detail, before they
can unite. This was sometimes done by Napoleon
.when, like the rebels, he was in inferior force. He
estimates the Union force at 650,000 -men,' the rebel
at 330,000. but argues that the rebel commanders have
hitherto fought more closely on the principles of the
•art of war, and have thus been able to continue a
contest, unequalin point of numbers. Occupying the
interior of the country, the rebels, he believes, can
act on the defensive with a force*much inferior to
their opponents. The book, which is not bulky, is
-well worth attention, as the work of a man "who
evidently is well informed on the subject up oh

Oar the Geigix op Species.— Dr. Charles Dar
win’s book is difficult to the generality of readers.
Professor Huxley (in his Lectures to Workingmen,
.delivered in London, on the same subject),\sayß:
, “ You spin through, it as if it were a novel, the first
; time you read it, and think you know all about it;
the second timeyou read ityou'.know rather lesa
’about it: and the third time, you are amazed to
find how little you have really apprehended its vast
scope and objects.” Mr. Huxley, Professorof Natu
ral History in the Jermyn-street School of Mines,
i determined to indoctrinate the intelligent but un
learned workingmen of London, who heard him,
with clear views “On the Origin of Species j Or,
The Causes of the Phenomena of Organic Nature.”
ills six lectureson this subject, taken-down, in
short-hand, have been popular in book-form in Eng
land, and have just: been - republished in New York
by Messrs.’Appleton. .They are-concise and clear,
dealing with a most abstruse question in a very
popular manner, and leading the reader lip to the
theory (put foith by Darwin) of mutation*and im
provement in the animal species, which involves the
principle that the human , race itself may be the
modification .of some inferior animal. There may
be more truth than our ancestors believed in Lord
Monboddo’s.idea -that Man, now a non-caudal-ani
mal, actually belonged, at first, to the Simian or
monkey species.. The book has the advantage of
hot being lengthy. It may be procured here from

>--'^iiiszT ? Chopin. —One of the musical
wonders ol this century was Frederic Chopin, horn
ZelazawaT7ola,.:near.Warsaw, and:who
~ cu^ At a very early age
he exhibitcu fofo
ninth year .his only teachere were
pianist, a pupil of Sebastian Bach, and-Joseph.
Eisner, under whom he studied composition. Bia
education, which was of the highest class, was be
stowed on him, through the liberality of Prince
Antoine Eadzical, himself a fine musician. In
"Warsaw, where he was taught, Chopin wa3 ad
mitted into the highest society. A little before the
revolution of IS3O, Chopin quitted Poland, ami
visitedEussia and Germany, winning a reputation as
piaDistand composer,'which was increased inPariß.
There, in the concert-room, in the saloons of the
nobility, his exquisite execution and the grace, as
well as force and expression, of his compositions at
tracted great admiration. He was one of the few
musicians of this age—three or four in all—who
really had a style of his own. Besides, he was
master of the classical style. At the piano,
whether playing or composing, Chopin was a poet—
almost an improvisalore. He went to Paris in
1832, at the age of twenty-two, and largely min
gled in Polish society there. Gradually, he became
intimate with the literary society of Paris, and
formed a very intimate connection with George
Sand, (Madame Dudevant,) which continued for
nine years. In 183 S, soon after this liaaon com
menced, Madame Sand accompanied Chopin to the
island of Majorca, where his failing health wa a
gradually renewed. • From 1840, however, he was
feeble in body, though he composed a great deal. In
1847, Madame Sand ceased her intimacy with him,
and from this time he faded away. In the spring of
1848 he executed a long-conceived intention of visit
ing England, where his reception was a triumph.
He played twice in public, and many times at pri
vate concerts, mingled a great deal in society, was
to Q.ueen Victoria, and visited Scotland,
where the severity of the climate much affected him.
Eeturning to London, he gave his last concert —for
thebenefitof his countrymen, the distressed Polish,
exiles. He returned to Paris in 1849, and gradually de
clined, until he died, in October 17,"1849. it was bin
own desire to be buried in Pere La-Chaise, next to
the grave of Bellini. Of his biography, by F. Liszt,
in French, Mr. F. Leypoldt, Chestnut street, has
just published a translation by Mrs. Martha "Walker
Cook, of New Jersey. It is well executed, but the
facts which it records might have been put into
eight pages. It is merely a criticism, or rather an
eulogium, upon Chopin’s genius and its fruitß than
a biography. It. is not until page 135, that Liszt
tells his readers when and where Chopin was bom.
The very tolerant manner, too, in which Liszt
speaks ol Chopin’s particular relations with Ma
dame Dudevant maybe considered liable to censure.
The translation is very good, and the getting-up of
the volume, including a photograph of Chopin, is
very good. But, as the biography of a great artist,
this will scarcely be a popular book either in French
of English. ' '
North American Eeyiew.—From W.B- Zieber,
South Third street, we have the new number of this
quarterly. The best article here is upon Thomas
Gray, the poet. Next in order of merit, are German.
Universities, Mauritius, the Eoman Bar, andMeri
vale’s History oftheEomans. To our infinite'aur
prise, there is a laudatory review, occupying four
teen pages, of a dramatic poem called “ Salome,”
lately , published. . The . heroine is a daughter of
Herodias, and the author not only introduced John
the Baptist as an interlocutor, but actually had the
irreverent audacity to bring in the Saviour himself,
as one of.the dramatis persona:! The editor of TVze
Nmih American Review is a clergyman, we believe. If
so, how lamentable the carelessness, or how de
plorable, the want of judgment, that afflicted his
readers.with a long puff of such a composition as

To the Editor of the Herald:
On my return from Cuba, after an absence of
nearly two months, mv attention has been called to
two articles in your issues of to-day and yesterday,
in which- you quote me as one of the Democratic
leaderaand owners of the World newspaper. Per
mit me to say that I am not, and never have been,
interested in the remotest way in the ownership of
the World , nor have I ever exercised the slightest
influence over its political character.
Neither do I claim the flattering title of a Demo
cratic leader, though I am proud to say that for
nearly a quarter of a century I have been an un
wavering; though humble, supporter of that great
party, -and its national and conservative principles.
I beg also to Btate that I have never at any time
or.to anybody expressed myself in favor of a peace
with the South, which had not for its fundamental
basis'-the supremacy, of the Government and the
TJnion of all the States. • :
It will be impossible for you or any other man to
