at. St. Louis Mo. mid iti a spcoch there sla-
ted that all that wits tit'ctle was for tm ab-
olition army to nitike its iiiii'.irnin'0 iu
Texas to be wirtnly welcomed by thoit-
snnds. Soldiers who left Snickers flap on tho
fith state that our army slill held the Cap;
but a brisk engagement was going on
mostly artillery.
The Kiclnnond Kntjnirer of the "lit says
there are reports of mtveru ( ;litiu? near
Front lleynl. (Jen. Jackson is iu command
of our lot ccs l here.
Senator Wilson in a late speech at flos-
ton said '.lint he had had an interview with
Lincoln since the lute elections and lliat he
was much cast down tit their result saying
(hut it would greatly sttcnllicn the scees
sion oaune here anil in Lurnjie.
At a dinner pi veil lo Lord falirerston
Earl Hard wick alluded to the lalo spcccU
of Mr. Gladstone ttnd said :
There wiisati expression made by (lie Hon.
gentleman for which he would tliniik htm.
Jt ' that Ji-ffrfi'mm Dori hail made a

would say :. (J'xil timl tltrm (Cheers.)
T3o issuo was not against slavoiy; but
against Northern despoiistn.
The Ainorican nucstion formed lite itnpor-
tantstibicct of discussion at Hie late French
Ministerial coiinciri St. Cloud.
M. do Fcrsigney pressed the claims
of tho South to reco'jnJtion. Tito
Kmpcror overruled the portion of the Min-
istry favorable to immediate recognition by
expressing the determination to await. Iho
1st of January and tho issues of Lincoln's
proclamation.
Chattanoora Oct. 15. It. is reported
(lint Gen. Morgan made tin advance on the
entire at iny of aholiiionists at Lebanon on
Wednesday and they thinking it was Gun.
Brngg's army left in double quick.
MoCook's corps in Nashville hearing
Hint a general engagement was going on at
Lebanon started to reinforce the Yankees
Mid got as far us Gallatin before they found
out ihcir mistake.
Gen. Morgan is now in the right place.
Gen. l'reston Smith aud not Gen. Ktrby
Smith is here sick.
EtciiMOMi) Oct. 15. The Examiner Btntt a
lliat it is a well ascertained fact tli.il tho
Abolitinnistshave a fleet in the lower James
river in the neighborhood of Brandon liar
but the designs of the fleet or the charac-
ter of the vessels have not been satisfacto-
rily ascertained.
Reports are rife that Gen. Jackson has
reoccttpicd Snicker's Gap Farties from
Culpepper however stain that a report pre-
vailed there that Gen. Jackson had perfect-
ed ft movemcut in the rear of the enemy
and had succeeded in capturing his supply
traio.
Tho Examiner has reports that Gen. Jos.
E. Johnston has been assigned to the com-
mand of the Western Department coin-
prising Kentucky and Tennessee. Gen.
Bragg is to exercise a command under hint.
It snys these changes indicate active prep-
arations in the Western campaign.
Senator Wilson called on the President
between Iho Pennsylvania and New York
elections; lie says : The 1'rcsident seem-
ed bowed down as I have seen him bowed
down when intelligence of the defeat of our
armies in the field came upon - him and he
said : "I confess Jhat I am grieved at the
resul s of these flections. This intelligence
will go to Europe; it will be construed
there as a condemnation of the war; it will
go into Hie land of rebellion and will en-
courage the leading results and nerve the
arm of the rebel soldiers fighting our men
in the field. It ia true" said the President
many of these men elected profesa to be
war democrats; but the resolutions of Iheir
conventions the tone of their leading pres-
ses and tlieir general action will be con-
strued everywhere against the cause of our
country."
That just about the truth of it.
Mr. T reman candidate for LieuL Gover-
nor in New York in a speech just before
the election took occasion to say that :
'In one respect the South bad been supe-
rior to IbeaNorth. The North i a4 always
toadied to England while the South had
not.'' The remark was received with
immense applause.

The report Hint Galveston has fallen
leave! a wrong impression on the public
mind especially when the geography of
this region is nut understood Galveston Is-
land is a strip of laud from Ihreo to ten
miles from the mainland and thirty miles
in length ami from onelo three miles wide.
Across the cas ern end of the island is Hie
city extending to within a mile or two of
t'io Point or extreme eastern end. Around
this point is Iho elianuel to Hie harbor
which lies north of the city. Within litis
harbor and abreast of the city lie the Fed-
eral vessels with Htcir guns double shotted
pointing at ihelowu. This is all Hie pos-
session ihcy have got of il. They havo
m ide ho permanent landing and really lo-
day have no mure possession of tly city
than have our force...
Five miles west of the town is lhernil-
rond britlgo connecting Ihw island with tlio
niiiiti liinil. We hold lite bridge witlib.it-
leiies on both sides ttnd are in full posses-
sion of Hie island itself. Our forces at t lie
bridge are in command of Col. Cnok an
nctivo and vigilant ollicer. Our sconls sc iur
the cily whenever they please which is ev-
ery day. They arrest nil persons who np-
pcur to be disaffected and send them wilhin
our lines. The Federals know this and
dare not prevent it.
Willi their present force only (he Feder-
als have won an elephant in a rutllc nnd
I liny don't know what lo do with it. They
can t take possession: they can't let it ;;o
ttnd so they sit slill with (heir double shot-
ted guns pointed i'l a peaceable people and
waiting to tco what will turn up. 'J'cl'.
The Ilenston Telegraph litis a confirma-
tion of the iT'iefc l skirmish on Bolivar

nate ollicers. Mr. Scddim formerly repre-
sculcd the Kichinnnd district in tho B. S.
Congress nnd was a member of the Peace

The Washington correspondent of Ihe N.
V Times says: "The French Government
Itnsdumaiuleit full and immediate indem-
nity for all injuries inflicted upon French
ci1i7.cn by lien. Duller and that the Slate
Department is ready to back down to any
extent from Butlers nets; that the Spanish
Minister has demanded nil apology lor the
burning of a vessel in Spanish walcrs by
one of the ships of l'arragut's tieet." Tho
same correspondent says: "The immense
armament now nearly ready at Maiseillcs
is pointed to as a coinineuiury on the diplo-
mat ic request iu reference to the burning
of vessels iu Spanish waters. This ocl was
nindo more henious by insults to the Cuban
authorities who remonstrated against this
wrong done' in ft neutral port.''
The Baltimore Gazelle says "Hie condi-
lion of our foreign relations noiwiihst.in-
' ding Iho modifying assurances lately given

A Washington dispatch lo Ihe Tfibiineol'

couched in 'the usual complimentary lan-
guage of polite political court etiquette are

either war with Franco or unqiii'l.h'i'd re-

"Quiie a spiriled little affair occurred in
Missouri near Iho Arkansas line north of
Marion county in litis Slate. At a place
called l.awri'iiucsMill the abolitionists had
Uuik a fori nnd had a force of ohout H'Oi)
men. Two hundred c( these were regular
troops and the remainder Gamble's nialilia-
nien. Tho latler often catno down into
Arkansas in bands robbing and pitltider-
iiiK lidding murder nnd rape occasionally.
The hondtul of ciliens who at e upted lo
resist them ofien succeeded in killing some
of ihcni and when these bandits returned
wiih their plunder they would publish
flaming accounts of v;omrics over largo
forces of rebels. Col's Biirbage and Green
determined lo put ft slop to Ibis work and
a week or two since moved up lo allack tne
furt. with a part of two regiments. Soon
nfter the attack was mud'.' Gamble s war-
riors threw their guns in the mill pond am!

The Itichmoud Examiner slates Hint Ih
lest thit lo smuggle whiskey into Rich-

Coalfield and returned back with fifteen

Tne Journal of Commerce urges Ihe Pres-

Donald M'Kay the eelelrated ship build-
er has written letter in which be thinks
that the iron-clad steamers ef the North

A Cowi'UCATIOM with F.NRLAxn. Tho
New Y'ork correspondent of the l'liilndel-
fihia Inquirer writes (Ootober Vtl)) as fol-
JWSJ 'Jho Albion of this oily which is consid-
ered the organ of the English population
has a strong intimn'ion Hint wo shall soou
have a new difficulty on our hands wlfn
Great Britain in consequence of the 'prnuks'
of Commodore (now Acting Admiral)
Wilkes at Bermmln; and especially the
"prauk" of overhauling the English mail
steamship Merlin (as is alledgcd) at the
very entrance of the harbor. As soon ns
the news of these doings was received nt;
Halifax the Albion says the Admiral on
that station forthwith ordered off the Ini-
mo ttl il guns aud Iho Ariadne 2U guns
Iwo of iho finest ships in the British navy.
Tie editor is also somewhat solicitous to
know whether Iho United Sle.fes gunboat
Montgomery is attached to Admiral Wilkes'
command ns hor destruction of the steamer
Bhiurhc on tho coast of Cuba the other day
would seem to show that "her commander
is imbued with something of his (Wilkes )
spirit." These outgivings of the Albion aro
interesting ns foreshadowing Ihe "howl"

John Mitch;:l. We yesterday published
an extract from the Richmond Enquirer
announcing Ihe arrival of this tnleulud
Irish patriot nnd refugco from Paris and
suggesting the raising of an Irish brigndo
for him with which to meet Corcoran Mea-
gher etc
We dissent from this recommendation.
We slioul I like to see Mr. Milchel located
at a good point editing a newspaper. His
talents iu this line are unrivaled nnd ha
could be of especial service to us nt this
lime; but wo are opposed lo raising a bri-
gade for him. He wields a pen more gt nee-
lully nnd powerfully thuii almost anybody
wo know. This is his especial vocation-
let him bo assigned lo it.
It has been suited tiiutilrig. Gen. E. Price
the tO'i of Gen Sterling Price has resigned
his commission in tho Confederate army
and the Northern papers say he has taken
the oath of allegiance lo Lincoln's govern-
ment. But the Petersburg Express consid-
er this unfounded and a Yankee embellisb-
in jnt like finny others oT tloEamo kind.
It is said that. Gen. K. Prio9 resigned on
account of the shnincliil neglect with which
his fallier hits been treated by our Presi-
dent. We should judge from the universal
expression of the press that the whole coun-
try feels this neglect almost as keenly as
Gen. Slorling Puce himself can but for the
sake of Ihe country we regret that the son
should hare taken this method 10 show hits
resentment. d'ul. A'riet.
Lincoln has wniien a letter fo Charles
Frances Adams his Embassador at London
in which he takes Ibe bold and decided
ground that no interposition by foreign
powers W'll he tolcraltd by him and that
nny attempt upon the part of England or
Fiance lo meddle in Ihe present conflict be-
tween himself and the people of the South
will he met with prompt indignant resis-
tance from himself and his entire Cnbinet
and Congress. Ho would lather rak tlio
Union and all on board lie snys beneath
thebotloin of the sea than submit to com-
promise with treason ora parley wiih Irai-

The market his reacted slightly this week

Cotton is still enquired after with mucW
activity but it is thonght that the staple

extravagant advance takes place in Europo.

pect of heavy importations. Cofi'ee Surar

the decline as the market threatens te be

anent. for every Cotton Card sent into the
