News of Literature and Art.
Miss M. A. Braddon, author of "Lady
Audley's Secret," " Aurora Floyd," and
other popular sensational novels, is about
contributing a story called "'The Outcasts"
to the London Journal, a two-cent weekly
of great circulation. Miss Braddottis one
of two female novelists who have lately
obtained great celebrity as sensation writers
—their respective productions treating of
the violation of all the crimes declared penal
by the Decalogue. The curious part of the
affair is that scarcely anything is known
about these novelists, Mrs. Henry Wood
and Miss M. A. •Braddon.. Both are evi
dently English by. , birth and training.
Mrs. Wood, judging' from from the internal
evidence supplied by two of her novels, must
have long been familiar with Worcester, iu
one of the Midland countries of England,.the
seat of a bishop's see, and therefore by cus
tom, if .not laW, entitled to be designated
" a city."
Thus; though the population' of Worcester
is only 21,000, and that of Lincoln is only
17,500, these arc "cities," because : each
has a Bishop, whereas Birminghatn, with
250,000 inhabitants, and Liverpool, with
400,000, are only towns, becauae neither has
a' bishop of the Law-Established, Church.
This may appear anomalous—and so, it
is. But - English life and "law, society
and character, institutions and customs,
abound . in anomalies. For example, the
Queen's proclamation strictly „inculcates
the duty of "neutrality" in the present
war, and certainly the Queen's subjects at
Birkenhead, Glasgow,, and other places,
build and fit-out war -vessels, such as the
Alabama and the Florida, to operate as .
pirates or buccaneers against American
commerce on the broad seas, yet, by ja
charming anomaly of law it is asserted that,
after all, the doing this does not infringe
one tittle of the neutrality principle coin-
Mended, "by her most - gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria" to be rigidly observed,
not in England alone but in the. colonies,-
including the Bahama Islands, the seat of
government in which is the port ofNassau,
where the said pirates frequently call to take
in coal 'and provisions, and where is har
bored a large fleet of English vessels em
ployed in running the blockade, in direct
violation of the Queen's positive commands.
To return, however, to the two she-novel
ists. Mrs. Wood has - a thorough know
ledge of Worcester and its trade, which is
gloVe-making. Probably one-half of .the
beautiful and' delicate ";Parisian gleves"
sold in this country are made in Worcester.
The process of manufacture, and the way
in which the details of the trade are work
ed, are described by Mrs. Wood in one of
her novels. We further know that she has
been some eight or ten.years busy with her
pen,- though without much success, until a
couple of • years ago. Already, Peterson
& Brothers, of Philadelphia, and Dick &
•
Fitzgerald, of New 'York, haVe republished
a dozen novels written by Mrs. Wood, and
there remain a dozen more yet to be re
printed., At this moment, - she is running
two new romances through English periodi
cals, and has announced a third, to be
called " The Lost Bank Note." Of all her
works,. "East Lynne" has alone been
dramatized. She is understood to be a
lady of independent means, and resides in .
a fine house in the" West End of Lcmdon:
Mise Braddon is apparently much younger
than Mrs. Wood. As yet, she haipublished
only two novelS of the highest popularity.
These are "Lady Audley's Secret," which
appeared in the usual (English) three-vo
lume form, fortunately obtained a long and
highly-favorable notice from The Times,
and at once bounded into a second edition.
The other is " Atfrora Floyd," which ap
peared, month after nionth, in the London
magazine called Temple Bar. Both have
been drainatized, and as many as three dif
ferent adaptations of "Lady Atidley"
were performed at three theatres in Lon
don, at once: It has also been dramatized
in France, as "Miss Aurora's Secret,"
(thus curiously confusing and combining
the names of the two books,) by illons.
Bernard Derosne, husbald of Mademoiselle
Judith, a well-known Parisian actress. This
gentleman, - willaing for some particulars of
Miss Braddon's life, went to the lady herself
for them. Her letter, dated May, ISO 3, is
given in the Paris correspondence of the
_America'a Publishers' Circular, and is •worth
reproducing here. It is as follows :
"DEAR Mr. DEROSITE : I hope you will
pardon me for my delay in replying to
your two last very kind and very flat
tering letters. Please present my very
sincere excuses to Mme. Derosne, to whom
I shall have•the pleasure of writing the very
first moment of:leisure I may command. My
literary engagements are so numerous that I
am frequently obliged to neglect my duties
as a correspondent, and to urge the com
monplace excuse of the little time left 'me
by my engagements with the periodicals.
. . As for the biographical notice you
ask from me, I am utterly unable to give
you any satisfaction upon that point. My
life has been so calm, so tranquil, so free
froth. incidents, that really I have nothing to
mention, and I can only reply'to you with
Canning's Needy Knife Grinder : Story I
Lord bless you! I have none' to tell, sir l'
I have not, like Afirora Floyd . . . .
.nor like LaelyAudley . . . - although
some of our critics on this side of the Chan
nel have declared that I would never have
been capable of speaking of . . . . and
of . . . . unless I had previously been
familiar with the way in which such crimes
are committed. I began my literary career
with a little comedy, entitled The Loves of
Arcadia,' which was played at the Strand
Theatre, in 1860 ; next I wrote a volume of
poeins, in 1861," This comedy and this
volume of poetry were followed, Ist, by
The Trail of the Serpent; 2d, Lady
Lisle ;' 3d,. The Captain of the Vul
ture ;' 4th, Ralph, the Bailiff ;' sth,
Lady - Audley' s Secret 6th, Au
rora Floyd,' all of which made their
first appearance in periodicals. Besides
these novels I have at the same time edited
a monthly review arid a weekly review, and.
I wrote anonymously a great many articles
for the latter. lam writing now, as you
know, John Marc]nnont's Legacy,' and
Eleanor's Victory.' The former is pub
lished Temple Bar,' the latter in Once
a Week.' In enumerating the titles of my
books, I have given you the history of my
life, at least to the present date. lam as
yet but a mere literary student, and I very
humbly follow the path which the most il
lustrious writers of your country and of mine
have trod before me. When I read and re
read the books of Bulwer Lytton, and of
De Balzac, it is natural enough that I can.'
not look without fear upon the distant goal
I must attain before I can possess their fame,
At present I am inexpressibly flattered by
the public favor, which has skceeded my
wildest hopes. It has been a source of real
happiness to me, and is the most powerful
encouragement to .my perseverance and
efforts. - I will be delighted to do everything
I can to facilitate the task. you have ,done
me - the honor to undertake by translating
and publishing all my works, and I shall be
prouder than I _can express of the -ap
.probation of your countrymen, should
I be so . fortunate• as to obtain it."
Notwithstanding the lady's disclaimer, her
life has not been so calm, so tranquil, so
free from incidents," as she represents.
Three years ago, she was an actress in, a
Theatre in the North of England, under the
name of "MissSeyton," and there wrote a
volume of poetry entitled " Garibaldi," and
wrote a novel which bore the name of
"Three 'Times Dead," but, being brought
out by a provincial publisher, as a penny
serial, died in six weeks. This, subsequent
ly called "The Trail of the Serpent," was
her first prose work published in London,
and must, have had a certain share of suc
cess, as she was encouraged to write other
works. ' "Lady Lisle" and " The Captain
of the Vulture" gave little indication of
their writer's undoubted talent. "Ralph,
the Bailiff," we have not seen. She is now
publishing, in " Once a Week," a striking
sensational story, entitled " Eleanor's-Vic
tory," which shows that thorough know
ledge of Paris life and Paris localities which
could only have been acquired on the spot.
Another new story by Miss Braddon,
called "John. Marchmont's Legacy," is
now-appearing in Temple Bar, but, though it
commenced well, has latterly been feebly
continued.. It is said that Miss Braddon
has realized eight thousand pounds ($40,000)
by - her profits on :" Lady Audley's Secret,','
of which beok it is estimated- that 120,000
copies ha - Ve been sold in England. The
work is published there at $7.50 per copy—
and alloWing her $2 'profit. on each copy,
her profits-would be $240,000. The asser
tion that even 20,000 copies were sold may
challenge ;,belief and provoke a doubt.
Scott's." :Waverle,y " was a:_wonderful suc
cess, but-in the. Whole fifteen years-between
its publication
_in- July, 1814, and January
1820, 0n1y . .. 11,000 copies were sold. At
that time too, the circulating -library - sys-.
tem, which now permeates throughout
Great Britain and Ireland, had not' far ex
tended itself, and, forty or fifty years ago,
people Used to bay a popular novel instead
of 7eirimg - 7it. A sale of .20,000 copies of
" Lady Audley's Secret' , would give its au
thor a profit of $40,000- 7 but we doubt whe
ther even as many as 10,000 copies could
have been-sold. Of a new' novel by Bul
wer, not half that nuMber would be disposed
of in two or three years.
An advertisement in the English papers
announc.es , that "Mr. Thomas Hood's new
novel, 'The Disputed Inheritance,' is ready
this day atall the libraries." We have had
a moral conviction that Thomas Hood died
in May, 1845, was buried in Kensal Green
Cemetery, near London, and that we even
saw his erave more than once. We know
that this
. opinion is 'shared by thousands,
and that, in various biographical notice', the
death-of the said Hood is gravely set down
as a -fact to be deplored. It would appear,'
however, that Thomas Hood is alive, and
has lately written a novel. There is a bit
of mystification- here. The Hood, who
wrote the Comic Annual' and The Song of
the Shirt,Aid die, as above stated. He left
a son, now a clerk in one of the. Govern
ment oftlees at London, who; in conjunction
with Mrs:T.l'64l . lp (his sister), wrote "Me
morials of Thomas Hood"-4 book rendered
very readable by the numerous letters from
Hood to his Mends, which it contained..
The younger -Hood, it must be confessed;
resembleS ,his 'gifted father in name only:
He writes sing-song verses, after the nanby:
pamby manner of Thomas Bailey Aldrich,
which are sometimes printed, without being
paid for, in second-rate magazines ; and
people who, read " Stanzas to a Green Gos 7
ling, by Thomas Hood," are apt to imagine,
that this -was- posthunious poem by the
Hood, and wonder thathe could ever have
written so feebly. If this barcliing has any
respect 'for his father's fame, he will sign
, " Thomas
_Hood, junior," and cease to be
mistaken -for- the great Poet of Wit and
Humanity.
Harper Brothera announce a number of
works of high interest. Infdet, which here
assumes the characteri of history, the most,
important is The. Capital' of the Tycoon,
with between two. and three hundred fine
engravings, written by Sir Rutherford Al-
Cock, British, :Ambassador to Japan, and
containing an account of ..kis three years'
residence in that Empire ; in fact, also, a
new and thorough revised and remodeled
edition of Harper's Handbook for Travellers
in Europe, by W. P. Fetridge,—a work of
equal accuracy and ffilness ; in biography,
Queens of Song, being Memoirs of celebrated
female Vocalists, by Ellen Creathorne Clay
tbn ; in the essay line, Thackeray'S'Round
about Papers and Bulwer's Caxtoniana ; in
fiction, Mary Lindsay, by Lady Emily Pon
sonby; Martin Pole, by John Saunders;
Live it Down, by J. C. Jeafferson ; and The
Ring ofAmasis, from the Papers of a German
physician, by Robert Bulwer Lytton, better
known as "Owen Meredith," the poet.
Messrs. Appleten, , of New York, an
nounce Merrivale's History of the Romans
"Under the -Empire, in seven volumes post
octavo, with a full index; not given in the
English edition ; the Iron Manufactures of
Great Britain; theoretically and practically

from the second London edition ; and the

Attached to Messrs. Appleton's publishing
and bookselling house is a photographic
establishment, which ranks very - high. from
its' artistical manipulation. They have
availed themselves of its resources to pro
&ice, to be completed in twenty-six parts,
forming one volume folio, " Gems from the
Dusseldorf Gallery," photographed from
the original picturesrby A. A. Turner, and
now reproduced, for the time, under super
intendence of B. Frodsham, -What was
known as the Dusseldorf Collection, (Mrs.
Potiphar wondered - at Mr. Dusseldorf 's in
dustry in painting so many pictures,) was
once the pride of New York, but the evil
days came, when it was found impossible
to allow so much capital as was invested in
these fine, pictures to remain unproductive
on the walls. So, the pictures were sold
and scattered. - Fifty-two - - of the gems of
the collection have been judiciously selected,
and exquisitely effective photographs from
these,briefly but sufficiently described by Mr.
Frodsham, a - well-known art-critic, will
constitute the volume in question. Through
the kindness of Mr: Simons, 33 SOuth Sixth
street(agent for Messrs. Appleton in this
city), we have examined a large number of
the beautiful plctures thus reproduced and
perpetuated, and can vouch for the judg
ment that selected, and the skill that has
thus preserved them for the public. The
work, as yet, is the finest that photography
has produced : in the United States, and the
price (50 cents for a picture, with letter
press) is .so low that nothing but an im
mense sale can remunerate the publishers'
enterprise. As a companion, Messrs. Ap 7
pleton announce " Lights and Shadows of
New York Ploture Galleries:" This will
contain forty photographs of noted pictures
in the Collection Of Gentlemen of New
York, selected and described by Mr.
Young,- editor of the Albion. This; like the
" Dusseldorf- Gillery," will form a folio
volume, and will be published in Novem
ber. It maybe subscribed for here, through
Mr. Simons.

In the State of Louisiana, as in other Southern
States, the law permits none buffreeholders to vote.
Southern "gentlemen," in several instances, evaded
this provision by purchasing land of the General
Government and deeding it in small parcels to poor

Why Admiral Dahlgren hat not Advanced
Ma=
[Washington correspondence of the Rentld.]
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.—lt is not generally known,
but it is nevertheless true,
that Admiral Dahlgren
is, and has been for the last ten days confined to his
bed by sickness, or has only been able to crawl on
deck or into the pilot-house, on critical occasions, at
a sad expense of ease and comfort. The abomina
ble.atmosphere of the iron•clads has taken hold of
his system, and nothing but his high resolution, and
the necessity he is under of vindicating the action of
the Navy Department, which placed him in com
mand, can long sustain him under the present de•
bility. So fixed is his determination to go through
With his work, however, that he has not, in any of
his despatches to the department, even referred to
his ill•health, and it is only by private letters from
sympathizing army officers that we hear of his con
dition. He, doubtless, feels that, under the pecu
liar circumstances attending. Dupont's removal, a
more than common anxiety must be felt by Mr.
Assistant Secretary Fox for the exertions to the
uttermost of the officer who has succeeded the
victor of Port Royal and the thrice gallant first
assailer of Fort Sumpter. In Dupont's attack, it
must be remembered, all the iron -clads ran up to
within eight hundred yards of the then uninjured

ning in to within four hundred yards, and fighting
desperately for thirty minutes at that distance, only
withdrawing under orders, and at a moment when
his vessel was a sinking ruin. In the present ope
rations, assisted by Gilmore's powerful land batte
ries, Admiral Dahlgren, reserving his vessels for
work further up the roadstead, has wisely held them
net closer than two thousand yards to Fort Sumpter
while that work was still in a condition to reply ef
fectively to his fire, two thousand yards being very
nearly the extreme effective range of hie fifteen-inch
smooth bores. Under these circumstances, although
Dupont may possibly be condemned for rashness, or
Dahlgren commended for prudence, it is obviously
worse than absurd malignantly and falsely libellous,
to indulge in any sneers or indirect inuendoes or
cavils at Dupont's attack, as if it had lacked in gal
lantry. The old Viking of the South Atlantic block.

his peers, men personally acquainted with him and
professionally, competent to judge, him, to whom
such a charge will stick. No braver or more indtel
ligent officers ever lived than his subordinate iron
dlad commanders, John Rodgers, -Rhind, Drayton,
Fairfax, Acumen, Downs, Worden, Turner and the
lamented George W. Rodgers, who• lost his life
while running his vessel in (ahead of Admiral Dahl
gren's flag ship) to within one hundred and arty
yards of Fort Wagner. •
ADMIRAL. DAHLGRgIOS CAUTION—Ins REASON
As for other matters, the wisest here think that
Admiral Dahigren's caution in the opening of the
Charleston conflict will be abundantly justified when
the nature of the work yet to be accomplished
is understood by the public. Fort Sumpter—weakest
for defence, most powerful for the offensive—is now
happily eliminated from the problem which the iron
clads have yet to solve. But Forts Moultrie and
Johnson still remain to be settled with, and in the
attack upon these General Gilmore can give but lit
tle assistance. Against Fort Moultrie, the strongest
defensive work in the harbor, he can do absolutely
nothing. • Fort Johnson is on the extreme left of
Beauregard's line of defences stretching across
James Island from the harbor shore to Secession
ville. To *tack this line in general would require
a force more "than treble that now at General
Gilmore's disposal; and his only means of ad
vancing under cover against the fort would be
to start trenches, zigzags, and parallels, from
where the "Swarep-Angel Battery" Is now
located, along the narrow strip of hard sand-shore
which lies between the swamps and the harbor.
This strip of hard band would offer very nearly the
same obstacle to trenching that would- be offered by
the pavemems and sub-soil of Broad.way ; and, ex
hausted as his men are by the labors they have
already performed, and the malarial cachexy which
has reduced their systems, it is doubtful if his whole
force, applied to the spade and pick for the next
three months. would suffice to advance a mine under
the walls of Fort Johnson. Most probably—indeed,
almost certainly—General Gilmore, on obtaining
possession of Cummings' Point, will open at long
range with his three two and 100-pounder Parrotts
against Charleston city, keeping his troops in a
state of tranquil amusement, while watching the
effects of Greek fire amongst the buildings of-Meet
ing and Ring streets, and generously admiring the
splendid exertions of courage, labor, and science, by
which his confreres of the navy propose to remove
the various lines of torpedo-armed obstructions now
blocking up Charleston harbor.
DEPARTMENT OF THE GULF.
Late from 'New Orleans.
By the arrival of the steamer Morning Star at
New York we have New Orleans dates to the 27th
ult. Beyond the review of the 13th Ariny Corps by
General Banks, there is nothing important in refe
rence to military movements in that department.
The corps was under the command of General Wash
burne, General Ord being absent.
But few boats were arriving from up the river.
The first boat that arrived with produce sent pota
toes down from thirteen to three dollars per barrel.
Since then they went up to nine, but fell again upon
the arrival of a large quantity per•steamere Morn
ing Star and George Washington.
A correspondent of the Herald writes front NeW
Orleans 26th ult. as follows
have :
" We nothing of importance to record in the
Depattment of the Gull during the last twenty-four
hours. Lieutenant Commander H. A. Adams, Jr.,
United States Navy, has arrived in the city, having
been relieved of the command of the United States
naval- forces in Mississippi Sound by Lieutenant
Commander Green. Centaur Adams brings us Pilo
bile'papers of the 22d, which contain the rebel ac
counts of the favorable progress of the siege of Fort
Sumpter ; and he permits me to mention an incident
that occurred to him a few days since while com
municating with Mississippi City by a flag of.
truce. Re informs me that when he sent his
boat on shore he desired the officer is charge
to say that if any military officer received the
flag he would be glad to see him on board to ar
range the business of the truce. As the boat returned
he saw an officer, who appeared to recognize him,
but he could not make out who he was. When
the boat came alongside, he went to the gangway to
receive the stranger, and even helped him over the
rail ore deck, when he immediately found himself
clasped in the arms of his own brother—one in com
mand of the rebel forces on shore, the other in com
mand of the United States forces afloat. The meet
ing, under such circumstances, was, as you may
imagine, a very painful one. After the business was
over, and a brotherly chat had, they parted, the
rebel saying, as he got into the boat, Whatever
happens, Hal, recollect one thing, we will always be
brothers." Both are sons of Commodore Adams,
United States navy, an officer who has sacrificed
much, feelings as well as property, by remaining
true to his country.-
" The Morning . Star leaves to-morrow for New
York. . Amongg her passengers are Major General
Herron and Colonel Clarke, of the 6tri Michigan
Volunteers. The General goes home oa a short
leave of absence. He needs a respite badly, for his
campaign in the West has been long and of the most
arduous character. His cervices on the frontier, or
rather in Missouri and Arkansas, are well known.
Pea Ridge and Wilson's creek are not yet forgotten,
battles in which he played a prominent part. His
last operations with General Grant before Vicks
burg form not the least of those he has been engaged
in during the war.
"Everything indiciites an early movement of the
army, but its destination we have yet to guess.
Troops are under orders, that's certain ; but those
not in the cabinet of the commanding general can
only surmise what direction they are to take. We
hope, however, that Mobile is the place aimed at.
The people of that city doubtless expect an attack
almost hourly, and it would be a pity to disappoint
them.
By the arrival of the schooner T. C. Acton, at
- New Orleans from Matamoros, we received some
seventy or eighty Texas refugees and a little news.
"At Brownsville, as well as at Mobile, there are
fears of a 'Federal invasion, and General Bee has
ordered that no more cotton shall be brought to
Brownsville, but it is to be carried across the river
at Rio Grande City, a long way above. Two large
yards in Brownsville were full of bales, and it was
going across to Matamoros very rapidly. The price
was from eighteen to twenty cents per pound, and
therewas plenty of. Mexican silver in circulation.
The few rebel troops were scattered about in differ
ent parts of the State, but moat of the Texan sol
diers are now in Louisiana.”
ARMY OF THE CUMBERLIND,
The True Situation.
[Correspondelue CiMinuati Commercial-]
BBADQUARTERS, August29,--I notice somehighly
colored correspondence, concerning the recent move
ments of this army, in the Chicago Journal, and
other papers. The formula of an immediate attack
on Chattanooga is given in the most explicit terms.
At this moment there is not a single Federal soldier
on the south bank of the Tennessee river. At
Bridgeport, ten miles by 'rail from Stevenson '
our
pickets have occupied the island over which the
structure passes, but that ia the nearest we have
come to passing the stream. The enemy's pickets
line the opposite shore, and at the moment I am
writing, by simply glancing out of the window, I
can see the lights of the rebel signabstation, some
four miles distant, on the summit of the mountain
which skirts the south side of the stream. This
army is simply occupying inforce.= the Sequatchie
Valley, the Battle Creek Valley, and the Crow
Creek 'Valley, (in which latter Stevenson stands,)
all of which lie on the north side of the Tennessee
river, adjoining each other, and occupying a front of
not more than twenty-four miles. The Sequatchie
Valley is on the stairs ' an it were, - between East
Tennessee proper and Middle Tennessee, and de
bouches to the river not far east of Chattanooga.
No attempt to lay pontoons has yet been made.
The mountains on the other side of the river and the
plains on this side are not advantageous for cross
ing with impunity. The enemy's pickets line the
opposite bank, and will certainly challenge any at
tempt to cross. They are seen daily opposite Bridge
port, and are heard from at all other points when
the unwary make any demonstration on the northern
shore.
This is the precise situation. There are no indi
cations of an immediate advance, although it must
be remembered that none are given in the army be
fore a movement. It is suddenly ordered and briskly
executed by this admirable, and, as yet, unchepked
army. The river may be crossed at any moment, at
the selected point, for the army is well in hand and
needs only the word.
The country is very difficult to operate in. It is
mountainous, and presents no advantages to render
the army self sustaining. < Brilliant movements for
these reasons. are not looked for, though they are
not impossible. The railroad bridge at Bridgeport
has been totally destroyed on, the north side of the
island, and what remains of it on this side, is in such
a crazy condition that it would have to be rebuilt.
The stone piers, twelve in number, are not at all
damaged, and consequently it is not impossible to
restore it in a short time, if- sufficient labor is put
upon it.
Bragg will probably fight at Chattanooga. There
is no reason why he should not, with hisedvantages
of position. The cannonading opposite Chattanooga,
of which your despatches have already given you
the details, was not intended for a serious demon
stration—not even a skirmish. The fugitive firing
did no hates, and has not since been indulged in.

THE STATES IN REBELLION.
The Advance on Mobile
[Correspondence of the Mobile Tribune
A painful rumor to the effect that General Lee
had resigned from the army had been in circulation
here for several days, and caused no little excite
ment among the troops. Although there are no
grounds for believing it, so Mr as I know, yet it is
'Angularly unfortunate that such a report should
have reached the army here at this time, when it
had just recovered from the effects of our recent dis
asters. Even the enemies •of Mr. 'Davis do not be.
lieve that he would - be eo blind to the interests of,
our-bleeding country as to force one of our greatest
chiitlains to resign, when the enemy are pressing us
hard upon every side.
Neither could General Lee, with credit to him
self, resign, without the gravest reasons for so
doing. Be belongs to that army which he has so
often led to victory, and should he retire from the
field on account of personal difficulties with 'the
President, it would be a blight upon the good name
which he has so fairly won. Hut I do not believe
that any such reasons could induce him to do it.
General Johnston has had far better reasons for re..
signing, and yet his stern sense of duty and unwa
vering fidelity to our cause has kept him in the
field.
There is evidently work ahead somewhere for the
army soon, as Grant is playing a deep game ; but-
General Johnston is fully advised in -regard to his
movements, and will meet him at Phillippi. The
military men with whom I have conversed are fully
of the opinion that Mobile will soon be attacked,
as troops ate being sent- down the river rapidly ;
but I hope that more than ten days' proviaions will
be found at that poet when the time comes, which
will not be long. No excuse can be made in the case
of your city, and I have never yet had a logical one
for the other, although I suppose one has been given
which was perfectly satisfactory to the powers that
be as I understand that General Pemberton will
still command his old corps.
Among the on Bits current 'here is one that Gen.
Breckinridge is to be made a lieutenant general,
and the army is to be divided into two corps ' Har
dee commanding one and he the other. I do not
think there is any foundation for it, although it
would-be nothing-more than a well-deserved com
pliment to a good officer, who has proven himself
worthy of any position in the service. But unfortu
nately he differed with one of the pets of the Admi
nistration and we all know that this is a serious
affair, and interferes materially with promotions.
It is difficult to understand what position G-en.
Hardee occupies at -present, or to what duty he will
be assigned. The general supposition when he first
came here was that he would relieve .Pemberton,
but as I have already stated, I have good reasons
for believing that Pemberton will not be relieved,.
consequently I suppose he will command his old
corps and Hardee the present one.
The mortality among the troops at Ficlteburg is
increasing, and the greatest consternation exists
among them. Steele , s division are picketing Big
Black, from Edward's Ferry to Birdsong's, but none
of their pickets are .ntore than a;mile this side.
Sherman's headquarters are about a mile from
Edward's Ferry, and near where Osterhaus , for
merly was. Their troops are engaged in cutting
our roads through the country between- those
ferries.

THE WAR IN KANSAS.
Particulars of quantrell's Retreat.
[From the Missouri Republican.l
- We have had a long conversation with Mr.•Saml.
Boles, of Lawrence, who was taken prisoner by
Quantrell, and taken to Missouri, on his retreat.
Mr. Boles was sleeping at the Eastern House, and,
with five or six others, was taken a prisoner and
marched to Fry's livery stable. Here Quantrell
rode up and told his men to save one from the num
ber to drive an ambulance down with two of hie
men, who were wounded. Mr. Boies was ordered
to fall back, while the others were marched forward
a few steps and shot down in the streets. He was
Ordered to drive the ambulance with the wounded
men. As they were passing out of town, they met
Mr. Dulinski coming into town. Quantrell shook
hands with him,
saying that he was all right, and
telling him - thathe might pass by unmolested. Be
fore he had passed the column, however, one of the
ruffians shot him down. Quantrell asked Boles if
he was a Copperhead, to which he answered, no.
He then expressed his regret that several Southern
men and sympathizers called Copperheads had been
killed in Lawrence. •
Quantrell avowed his intention to march to Cisa
watomie, laying everything waste as he went. St.
Rothrock's, or Ulrich's, where he stopped to water
his horses, Lane first came up with the pursuit; and
as Quantrell's men were off of the road to the went,
Quantrell first thought that they would be able to
bead him off. In that case, he avowed his inten
tion of turning back and marching down the Valley
of the Kew to Missouri. He, however, pushed on.
He told Mr. Boles that about half of his men were his
bushwhackers, and the rest were farmers from the
border ' who had accompanied him for plunder, and
whom he could not depend upon for a fight. He
kept about a hundred fresh horses, which were led,
and as often as &horse gave out one of these fresh
ones would be taken. When out of sight of the
pursuing force , they generally went on the lope.
Most of the route they took the prairie, and just to
wards night came in sight of Paola. Quantrell
rode forward and asked the guide where he was
taking them to. .The guide replied that the town
before them was Morristown, in Missouri. Q,118,11-
iral looked a moment and then Cursed the guide,
telling him that the town was Paola; that a heavy
force was there, and they would be cut to pieces if
they proceeded.
They then turned back and took a shoot north,
crossing Bull Creek at Rockford. Here they stopped
and unsaddled, with orders to rest four hours. In
about an hour and a half, however, the Federal
scouts drove In the pickets, and they hastily re
mounted. They finally reached Missouri, and when
they got into the second piece of timber, said that
now they, were at home, and all the troops in Kan-
MS could not catch them. They then stopped, un
saddled their horses ' and sent out scouts around to
the . farm houses to have bread baked. They came
back with the reply that the bread would be ready
in an hour. Here they divided their plunder. The
privates got about $2O apiece in greenbacks—the
leaders probably appropriated the rest to them
selves. Several hundred watches were among the
plunder; besides any amount of fine cloth, silks,
&c. They had been here some time, when their
pickets announced the approach of a Federal force.
They resaddled their horses and made ready for a
start.
At this time Mr. Boles determined, if possible, to
escape, as Quantrell had told him repeatedly that he
intended to kill him as coon as he got through using
him. Among the horses close by him, Mr. Boies ob
served a powerful brown, all saddled, but which ap
peared to have no rider. He approached the horse
leisurely, and suddenly springing upon him; darted
into the bushes and escaped to our forces, and joined
in the pursuit.
The ambulance -was overhauled - during the day,
the two wounded men having abandoned it. One of
them was found in a house concealed in the closet,
and the other was also captured.
SPEECH OP GEN. LANE AT LAWRENCE!
On return om his hunt after Quantrell, General
Lane addressed the citizens at Lawrence in a
speech, of which the following is an extract :
FELLOW-CITIZENS: History can be searched in
vain for a parallel to the Lawrence massacre.
Thepeople felt secure; I felt secure. - Do you sup
pose your humble speaker would have been asleep
in his own home if he had believed there was dan
ger? No; I would have had a company of men
ready to whip the murderers to their•satisfaction, as
eoon as they entered Kansas. We relied on the mi
litary authorities for protection. I don't wish to
blame anybody. Ido propose to say, howeVer, that
the policy of Schofield brought on the massacre at
Lawrence.
You have decided that there can be no safety to
Kansas except through the extermination of the
rebel citizens in those border counties of Missouri.
We have had officers at the head of the Department
of the Missouri who believed in a war of extermina
tion against those bushwhackers. General Curtis
was in favor of it, but a man clothed with a little
brief authority—and that's Gamble—said to the
President these bushwhackers are only conserva
tives. Treat them well, and they will return to
their allegiance. This same man pledged his word
to the President that if he (the President) would re
move Curtis, and appoint Schofield, there would be
peace. The President did remove. Curtis, and ap
point a conservative, in order to restore quiet. The
' blood shed at Lawrence is chargeable to the fact that
a conservative policy rules this department.
I have`said that Minim is in favor of extermina
tion, Upon what was that opinion based? Upon
the fact that they well knew that every man who
gave information to Union troops—every man who
was not a reliable rebel—was driven from the border
counties of 'Missouri. at the commencement of: the
war. In my firat expedition through Missouri I
travelled miles and miles of road, thick with people
who were obliged to flee the State, because they
were tainted with Unionism. I travelled the border
'there and saw, as the people of Kansas saw, that if
the bushwhackers were allowed to live in those
woods on the Missouri side, Kansas would have to
give up her prairies on this side.
^We, captured some of these citizen buahwhackers
there. We found upon them oaths of allegiance by
scores, and protection papers by dozens. Those men
were bushwhackers one day. citizens the next. -We
know it all. Kansas knows from the history of 1800
years, that guerillas could not exist in any country,
without the aid and consent of the inhabitants of
that country. Therefore, not for mere butchery—
not for the gratification of mere prejudice, but for
self preservation, we believe in a war of extermina
tion. Our opinions and judgments were deliberately

When I was in Missouri, the other day, I took
particular pains to inquire -for the best Union man
in the county.- IY was directed to a man named Hook.
I rode over to his house, and had a conversation
with this beaw ideal of a Union man. I asked him
his politics. He answered very quickly that he was
Union—my men close by at the time. I asked him
what he meant by "Union." He said that he was
in favor of the Union as it was and the Constitution
as it is. I asked him what he meant by that. He
said: "I own niggers. If we have the Union asit
was, and my niggers run off, roan recover them. If
we can't have the Union as it was, then I am in
favor of the Southern Confederacy." I then asked
him how long since he had seen any bushwhackers.
He said, " Mr. Woodward was here to-day to dinner.
I saw your soldiers ' and told him that he had better
not go near them. I hear rebels at my corn crib al
most every night. I never interfere with them.
Quantrell came here the other morning on his way
to Lawrence, and ordered breakfast for fifty, and got
it." [A voice, "Where is Hook nowt" In hell. I
left him in the hands of the executioner.

INTERESTING CONVEP.S.ATION WITEr. A l&IBBIS-
ll=
Of late, the demoralization has not been confined
to the troops from Tennessee and Kentucky.
Amongst the deserters who now each day flock to
our lines, are men from every State represented in
Bragg's army. The tall of Vicksburg, and the de
struction of Jackson, crushed the last hopes of the
Mississippians, and they are as anxious to return to
their homes as the troops from the Border States.
Becently, , l conversed with a very intelligent soldier
from Mississippi. N.
" Have you seen much active service, my friend l"
"Yee," he replied, " I .was at Shiloh, at Perry
ville, at Murfreesboro, and in a score of smaller
combats. At Shiloh I received a severe wound in
my thigh, and in one of-the minor fights of Ken
tucky, I lost a finger, as you see," holding forth his
left hand, from which the middle finger was gone.
"And that is not all," he continued, " one of your
bullets grazed my temple at Stone river, and knocked
me senseless upon the ground, when I was run
over by one of our own caissons, and so badly
bruiser], that for a time I almost despaired of col
covery."
And did you think, all this time, that you were
really fighting and suffering for a good causal"
"No," said he, "I !relieved the war on our part
was uncalled for from the first ; but the potent in
fluences thrown around me, and a sort of blind en
thusiasm, with which my judgment had nothing to
do, carried me away."
"You were not conscripted, then I" I inquired.
"So far from that," was the honest answer, "E
was among the very first to volunteer from my
county and town.,,
"Then, of course, after you were in, yOu wished
the rebel cause to succeed I"
"As long as ray fever of enthusiasm lasted I did ;
but for the past year I have been convinced that the
success of Jeff Davis would actually be a calamity
for our country and for mankind."
"How long since you determined to abandon the
rebel servicer
" Only since I heard of the dreadful misfortunes
which befel our arms in Mississippi,"
"And why did you not take the resolution before
that, if, as lou say, you were convinced that the re•
hellion ought not to succeed?"
"I was too proud," said he, with a tear glisten
ing in his eye, "to think of deserting even a bad
cause atter I had once engaged in it. But the fall
of Vicksburg crushea my pride, and then I had no
motive for continuing !the contest. Why should we
fight any longer ? Since I came into your lines, I
heard an idea advanced which appeals so strongly to
my own common sense, that I-accepted it at once as
the exact truth?'
"And what is that V' I asked.

"Why," rejoined he, "its this: the rebel leaders
have themselves no longer any hopes of success, and
now they only, desire to use our bodies to shield
them as long as wssible from the righteous wrath
of the Government."
"Are there many Mississippians in the army who

today, and agree to spend the rest of their lives in
wondering how they could have been such fools as
ever to take them up."
“ Eht,” I suggested, "they would lose their rights
in the Territories.""
At this he burst into a hearty laugh.
"You need only repeat some such phrases as that
to us," said he, "to make the depth of our folly open
like a gulf before us."
" rilay I. ask how it came," said. I, •"that you,
with so much better abilities, both natural and ac
quired, than the mass of soldiers in the rebel army,
failed to obtain office among them?"
He smiled at this. "My parents were poor," said
he, " and of all the offices in our regiment I cannot
think of one that has ever been held by a poor man's
son."
Were your parents elaveholdere
"Not at all. They owned and cultivated a little
patch of ground, some miles from the city, the value
of which was scarcely equal to that of a single
slave,"
"You would doubtless have obtained promotion
at last," I suggested.
"Not," he bitterly replied, "until every rich slave.
`holder or rich shareholder's son in my company had
been promoledbefore me."
"Did your company contain many such as your
self?"
" Yes," said he, " three-fourths of them were poor
men."
"And in your army it is the business of the poor
to obey and not to command l"
"That'll it!" he answered energetically, "that's
it! and cursed be the men , who dragged the poor
into this wretched war P!
"What are your plans for the future?" I inquired.
"I have none," was the reply, " except to take
the oath of allegiance, and go some place where, for
a time at least, I can enjoy peace."
" You don't want to go to Mississippi at present?"
"No," he said with earnestness, - " although my
parents and relatives are there, if alive, I wciuld
not venture back into that State before the war is
over for the finest plantation in Holly Springs."
"Would you not be willing to assist in restoring
peace to the whole country by fighting in the Union
armies?"
• " Yee," said he, "after a while, but not now—not
now. I am, oh, so sick of war now ! But let tan
rest awhile, and then I shall be ready to aid in
bringing to justice those scoundrelly ° leaders who
have betra3 - ed and ruined the South."
"IVlp friend," said I, "perhaps, your frank and
cordial manner has encouraged me to-be inquisi
tive, but I should like to ask you one more ques
tion. What are your views upon the subject of
slavery?"
The vehement earnestness of his reply absolutely'
startled me :
"lam an Abolitionist ! an Abolitionist ! I know
that slavery has been the cause of our ruin, and, as
God hears me, I shall, for the rest of my life, fight
againet it! And two thirds of the members of my tegi.
meat feel about it just as .1 do!"
I have reported this conversation from memory,
and thelanguage used, both by myself and the young
man, was different in many respects from that here
set down s but I have in every case faithfully given
the substance of his remarks, and the reader may
rely upon this as an exact representation of the
ideas presented by the Mississippian during the half
hour I was in hia company.
IMPORTANT LETTER PROM A REBEL
CFrom.the Toledo Shute.]
Below we give a letter picked up in the streets of
Brandon, Bliss., by Capt. Dennis, of the 1 - 72 d 0. V.I.
We have the original in our possession. It is writ
ten in unusually fair penmanship, and, as the reader
will ace, in a good style of composition. Its writer
is evidently an intelligent man, and in position to
speak correctly of that whereof he writes. The let
ter is as follows :
"BRANDON, July 16, 1863.—1 wrote to you very
hurriedly yesterday, and this morning learn that Ge
neral Johnston has ordered this army to be marched
across to Enterprise, one hundred miles farther. It
will take a week longer. No provision has been
made along the route, and the men are already much
dissatisfied with the vacillating policy, and hollow
promises by which they have been duped so long.
Of the 30,000 paroled at Vicksburg, only one-half
are now together, and ere we reach Enterprise this
number will be reducedto s,ooll—they of the Georgia,
Alabama, and Tennessee troops, who alai) Will eaVeo f
With Or without furloughs, so OM as they learn the
alternative of going into camp of parole. The army
of the Mississippi is completely lost.
Meanwhile, General Johnston holds Jackson—
we hear the guns constantly. The enemy are making
gradual approaches, and after a week.longer will
have that place. With it falls Mobile. This entire
section is fleeing eastward. Georgia will have a
population of 5,000,000 to feed this year. Ruin,
utter and entire ruin, has swept over this State.
The negro emancipation policy, at which we so loug
hooted, is the most potent lever of our overthrow.
It steales upon us unawares, and ere we can do any
thing the plantations are dbserted, families without
servants, camps without necessary attendants, wo
men and children in want and misery. In short, the
disadvantages to us now, arising from the negroes,
are tenfold greater than, have been all the advan
tages derived from them earlier in the war.
. "It is useless to discuss the errors of the past—pos.
sibly there are none that could have' been avoided—
but certainly we are a defeated and ruined people
shornof our strength—powerless for a successful
solution of the problem undertaken; or, rather,
ours was erroneous. The solution has been shown
us by a more favored people.
"I have been staying with my friend Manlove,
who bought a residence here some time ago, and,
moved his family from Vicksburg. Mrs. al. is to
start with her children, and the only two servants
left her, for Mobile to-day ; thence she goes farther
East, with a party from Jackson, none know where.
Everything, save articles of absolute necessity, is
sacrificed, and Manlove, from great wealth, has
sunk to poverty. His case is a type of all.
"Provisions cannot be bought here at any price.
The enemy fed our army for ten days—gave them
„five days' rations of everything (including coffee and
tea), to make this march upon. Now the men are
going about with empty haversacks—living on
green corn and fruit. No commissary stoma' have
been provided for them by Gen. Johnston. The
fact is, that the greatest mismanagement and moat
ruinous neglect have been the reward, so far, of this
army. Such confusion and diasatisfaction as is
now presented here was never before witnessed,
and unless the troops are moved out of town to
day, the citizens of Brandon will have.more cause
to rue the advent of The Glorious Army of Vicks
burg,' than they have had to fear the approach of
'the vandal hordes of Northern barbarians.'
"If leave of Absence is refused us, or limited to
thirty days, I may not be able to get to you until
ordered into Georgia. Thirty days is no leave at all.
"Affectionately, E."

an order of General Banks appointing Colonel Sohn
S. Clark, Major B. Bush Plumley, and Colonel
George H. Hanks a commission to regulate the en
rolment, recruiting, employment, and education of
persona of color. All questions concerning the en
listment of troops for the corps d'Afrique, the regu•
lation of labor, or the government and education of
negroes, will be referred to the decision of this com
mission, subject to the approvalof the commanding
general of the department. The order also directs
"The Provost-Marshal General will cause to be
enrolled all able-bodied men of color in accordance
with the law of conscription, and such number as
may be required for the military defence of the de
partment. equally apportioned to the different par
ishes, will be enlisted for military service uncles
such regulations as the commission may adopt. Cer ,
tificittes of exemption will be furnished to those not
enlisted, protecting them from arrest or other inter
ference, except for crime.
"Unemployed persons of color, vagrants, and
camp-loafers, will be. arrested and employed. upon
the public works, by the provost-marshal's depart
ment, without other pay than their ratioes..and
clothing.
" Arrests of persons and seizures of property will
not be .made by colored soldiers, nor will they be
charged with the custody of persons or property, ex
cept when under the command, and accompanied by
duly authorized officers.
"Any injury or wrong done to the family'of any
Soldier, on account of his being engaged in military
service, will be summarily punished.
"As fir as practicable, the labor of persons not
adapted to military' service will be provided in sub.
etitution for that of enlisted men." •
