The case of American Vessels Recaptured from the Rebels. In the Senate, on the 12th inst., Mr. Morrill, In behalf of the Committee on Commerce, sub mitted a report upon the memorial ef the own ers of the ship John II. Jarvis, which develop er principles of great practical importance. The conclusions of this report strike us as round, and as likely to be accepted by the country'. The immediate case Is that of the ship John H. Jarvis, owned at the North, seized by the rebels in the Mississippi river, claimed and condemned as a prize of war in a rebel court of admiralty, and now recaptured by our naval forces at New Orleans. The question upon this case is, whether the ship is a prize of war to our naval forces, or whether the title re mains in her original owners. We can only give the following brief synop sis of the poiute taken in Mr. Morrill’s report: It admits that, by the law of nations, as for merly administered In prize courts, property taken by the public enemy and recaptured, was held to be prize, but observes that this practice “has been changed or greatly modified by the legislation of most modern nations, and the right of restitution to the original owner of property so recaptured generally adopted. Thus, the English statute (43 Geo. III. caput 160.) instead of making recaptured property prize of war, gives to the rccaptors a salvage of one-eighth of the value. The U.S. act of March 3, 1800, docs the same thing, except in cases where the proper ty has been “condemned as prize by competent authority before recapture thereof,” in which excepted cases, by implication, the recaptured property is prize of war according to the old doctrine of the law of tuitions. In the matter in hand, Mr. Morrill’s report maintains, and as it seems to us with unanswer able logic, and with an imposing array of au thorities, the following positions: k First, That the right of capture and con S demnation in prize courts, only appertains to reorganized nationalities. Second, That it is the exclusive province of the political departments of Government, and not for the judicial department, to determine in what cases and when to recognize the inde pendent existence of new nationalities, emerg ing as such, by revolution against our own au thority, or by revolution against the authority of others. Third, That both the executive and legisla tive authorities of the United States having steadily resisted the pretensions of the (so called) “Confederate States” to a separate na tional status, and now continuing to treat them as rebels only, it is not competent for the courts to treat them in any other manner. Upon the point, that the ]>olitical authorities must decide when to acknowledge a new na tionality, Mr. Morrill's report says: -wim uucu (VI I1AB u* ways been recognized in the British admiralty courts and by Uie court of appmU. It was I fully considered in the case of the Manilla, in j 1H07, (Edward's Adi. Bep. 1.) The question arose npon the naUoual character of Mt. Do mingo, tlien under Uie dominion of France. The peculiar circumstances of the island were these: Several parts of it had been wrested from the tnoUier country of France hy the in surgent negroes; had Ins n detached from the parent nation and its anti urity. and they had maintained within these |iarts an independent government of their own. It was contended, Uierefore, that St. Domingo eould not lie con sidered as a colony of I ranee. The court of appeals held that inasmuch as the British Government had done nothing to recognize tile independence of the island, it must still be held to be the colony of France. Mr. Hal leek, in liis treatise on 'international law, says: ‘Revolution »r possession by insur gents cannot lx* regarded by a prize court as changing the national character of the terri tory so occupied or possessed until the fact lias been recognized hy the political authority of the government to which the court belongs. *It always helongs to the government of the country to determine in wlmt relation any other country stands towards it; that it is a point upon which the courts of justice cannot decide.’—(Follican 1. Ed. Ap|>d. I).) The same principle was recognized by the Supreme Court of the United States in Uie case of Webster r*. Hoyt, (3 Wheat, 323.) It arose on the statute of 17!M, Hip provisions of whieh inflict a forfeiture of the xliiji, Ac., when lilted out and armed with Uie intent to be employed ‘in the service of any foreign prince or state, to cruise or commit hostilities upon the sub jects, citizens, or projierty of another foreign prince or state with whom the United States are at peace.’ The proof offered was to show that the ship was attempted to lie fitted out and armed, and was fitted out and armed, with intent that she should be employed in the service of that part of the island of St- Domingo which was then under Uie government of Fetion, to cruise and commit hostilities upon the subjects, citi zens, and property of that part of the island of St. Domingo which was thru under the Gov ernment of Uhristophe. No evidence was of fered to prove that eiUier of these governments was recognized by the government of the United States, or of France, the mother coun try, as a foreign power or state. ‘No doctrine Is better established,’say Uie court,‘than that it belongs exclusively to government* to rec ognizc new states in the revolutions that may occur in the world; and that until such recog nition, either by our own Government or the government to which the new state belonged, courts ofjustiee are bound to consider the ancient state of tilings as remaining unaltered.’ Tlie question was again before the court, in Kcnnctt et at. e.s. Chambers,. in 1852, upon facts involving the then recent relations of Texas ami Mexico. The former had declared itself independent of the latter, had achieved its independence in fact, and was maintaining a separate government, but the established government of which it was an integral part had not acknowledged its independence, nor had the Government of the United States ac knowledged Texas as an iniiependent State. The court used this language It belongs exclusively to the political department of the Government to recognize or refuse to recog nize a new government in a foreign country claiming to have displaced the old and estab lished a new one; until the political depart ment of the government acknowledged the in dependence of Texas, the judiciary were bound to consider the old order of things as having continued.’ In reference to the position actually taken by our Government, as regards the Confeder ate States, Mr. Morrill's report says In his proclamation of the l!Hh April. 1861, the President of the United States denominat ed the disturbance then existing in these States an insurrection against the Government of tlie United States,’ ami declared that the |icrsons engaged therein had, by a most unwarranta ble assumption of the rights of lawful belliger ents, threatened to issue letters of marque, au thorizing them to whom granted to assault tlie persons and seize and confiscate the vessels ami property of citizens of the United States engaged in commerce upon the seas;’ and fur ther. that if any person, under the pretended authority of States, or under any other pre tence, should molest a vessel of tlie United States, or tlie persons, or cargo on board of her, such person would lie held amenable to the laws of the United States for tlie preven tion and punishment of piracy.’ Tlie citizen whose rights of property have been violated by force of this most 1 unwar rantable assumption of the rights of belliger ents.’ and whose property lias been retaken, and is detained by the agents of the Govern ment, may well crave the security which this most salutary decree of the Chief Executive of the nation seemed to promise. Tlie proclamation is a solemn and impres sive notice to tlie nation and the world of the purpose and policy of the Government and of what was expected of the people. It was a fresh pledge of the national faith to each citi zen that the law of piracy would be enforced against the domestic eqeiny, and tliat property and the rights of property would be protected to the loyal citizen. It was n high official affirmation for the in tegrity of the nation and the enforcement of tlie laws for the protection and security of tlie rights of person and property of all the citi st-im, unii mu it niuiiiuiiig aim mi ni'l likil nte nai'i' of the enemies of the domestic peace. ltut the citizen whose appeal is to his own Government may properly invoke in his he lm 11' that fundamental principle of the social compact which enjoins upon civil society the duty to protect its nicmtters in the enjoyment of their rights of property. It can never lie conceded by the Government of the United State* that the property of its citizens, w ithin its limits and jurisdiction, employed in law ful trade in conformity to prescrilied commercial regulations, may become prize of war by the acts of its own citizens.” The hill reported by Mr. Morrill, in confor mity with the foregoing principles, directs that the President shall issue instructions to naval and military officers, to return all shi|>s recajt tured from the reliels to their original owners, who are loyal citizens of the United States.

Nervousness in the Sick-Room. “Oh, oh! it is so weary lying hern! nobody to talk to, no one to read to me, and the hired girl stepping around in the kitchen, keeping time, 1 verily believe, to the noisiest, shrillest tunc, in the whole catalogue of {Malms. I cannot sleep; and 1 have thought so much 1 want to stop thinking; and there is nothing to look at—the paper on the wall is so monoto nous—a (lower set in one place, and leaf three inelies olf, as if they belonged to a Shaker community, and must not. join hands. Next time 1 paper a sick room, I’U do it witli w in dow curtains; a caravan here, and a Chinese pagoda there, and an old ruin by the door; at least it would make variety. I believe I should lie glad to see a beetle, if it came fresh from out-doors. “What a good mother Nature is! She knows we should tire of seeing one thing all the time; and so she freezes up. ami thaws out; puts on garments, and exchanges; lays carpets and takes up; sweeps and has a general overturn mmy times a year; just what the eye needs. But |KK>r mortals must go liy routine—four dahlias, two marigolds, and six myrtle steins in my vase each day fur a week. 1 know that 1 ought to be thankful to husband for even a clover stock; it is so unlike men; hut why couldn't lie, without being asked, break off half a yard of the morning glory, all fresh with dew on its great purple cups, and twine it in with the white and {link, and let them trail from tlie desk to the floor, where I could look nt them, and forget all alxmt Milly’s singing, and the step, step, that jars like the break down of a chair. “1 wish some one would come In—not that tiresome Mrs. Prague, who sits down by my bed, and.with a long fitce, and scphulcral voice, inquires if I feel any more resigned to the chastisement of sickness. Ilow 1 tire up! As if sickness were dealt out like so many strokes to a boy's jacket—only to naughty folks! Or, that particular Mis. Hurl but. that struiehtins out the curtains into just so many folds, shakes down the hearth-rug, and blows off the least perceptible dust on the stand; as if I wanted any one hinting by actions that tilings are not neat enough, when 1 have been trying ail day to forget It. Neither do 1 want that Miss Quail, who steals in as gently as if I had but two breaths of life in me, and inquires "if the doctor lias still hopes of quelling the disease;” as if the hour's talk he gave mo each morn ing to convince me that 1 was half well, and nothing at all serious now troubling me, was to deceive me—no truth in it. Why don't Milly stop singing? "I know who 1 do wish to sec—cheerful, laughing Linda Leel She would open the door without any jar, yet firmiy, as if no one was lying there, with nerves like clanging brass wire, yet brittle as spider’s web; and then she would scatter her gift right on the desk—a bunch of pansies iu their green leaves, some sweet clover that smells of the meadow, and half a dozen roses, branch and all. She would tell me how bright I was looking, ami she knew I was better before she came in, for she saw my husband looking so choerfh!; an indirect way of informing me that my hus band thought so much of me, that his face was a barometer of my state of health; and a very good medicine for the half-undefined, w icked doubts, that crept into my thoughts tins morning—if 1 was not such a |ionr use less body, that no one would mourn much if I was out of the world. Well, next she would take a comb, and smooth out the uneven strands that Milly always braids, as if she was lame in one hand, rippling tlie waves over tier w rist, and quietly talking to me all the time atjout some pleasant incident down town, or witty speech of brother Tom; or answering hopefully every doubt about our projected trip to the White Mountains next year. “Oh, sweet Linda Iasi is worth a whole reg itneut of common visitors!

CowKKSATiox.—The object of conversa tion is to entertain and amuse. To Is- agree able you must learn to Is; a good listener. A man w ho monopolizes a conversation i- a bote, no matter how great his knowledge. Music at IIome.—What shall the amuse ment of the home be? When there is the ability and taste, I regard music as combining in happiest proportions instruction and pleas ure, as standing at the bead of the home even ing enjoyments. What a never-failing re source have those homes which God lias blest with this gift! How many pleasant iatnily circles gather nightly about the piauo'l how many a home is vocal with the voice of song and )>salm 1 In other times, in how ma uv pleasant village homes the father with his viol led the domestic harmony, and sons with clarionet or flute, or viol, or manly voice, and daughters sweetly and clearly titling the inter vals of sound, made a joyful noise 1 There was then no piano—to the homes of this gene ration the great, the universal boon and com forter. One pauses and blesses it, and he hears it through the open farmhouse window, or de tects its sweetness stealing out amid the jar gons of the city—an angel's beuison upon a wilderness of discord, soothing the weary brain, lifting the troubled spirit, pouring fresh strength into the tired body, waking to wor ship, lulling to rest. Touched by the hand we lovi—a mother, sister, wife—say, is it nbt a ministrant of love to child, to man—a house hold deity, now meeting our moods, answer ing to our needs, sinking to depths we cannot fathom, rising to heights we cannot reach, leading, guiding, great and grand and good, and now stooping to our lower wants, the frolic of our souls reverberating from its keys The home that lias a piano, what capacity for evening pleasure and profit has it! Alas, that so many wives and mothers should speak of their ability to play as a mere accomplishment of tlie past, and that children should grow up looking on the piano as a thing unwisely kept for company and show. Tiie Late Vote in Illinois.—The rejec tion of the proposed new State Constitution of Illinois, by a large majority of its people, is significant by virtue of its bearing on the slav ery question. The instrument was fashioned by those who were in the interest of the old Democratic organization, and was specially designed to serve as a political and moral sup port for slavery. Electoral districts were art fully so established ^y it as to keep the con trolling |Mjwer in the" hands of that part of the State which is largely settled from the border Slave States. But more than that, the whole spirit of the excited canvass showed most pal pably that the real issue was between the. an ti-slavery policy represented by the Illinoisan President Lincoln, and the pro-slavery policy represented by the Illinoisan ltichardson, whose name stands first among the signers to the late Vallandiugham address. It is likely enough that some few votes, both for and against, were east irrespectively of all such considerations, hut the different attitudes of the journalists and of the congressmen of the two parties allow no doubt that the vote was a test of the disposition of the people toward slavery. The result proves that the war, in stead of inclining the people of this great Western State to tie quire tolerant and eoncil lolnrv tunoir.l cla«n k.1., iL contrary effect. It lias made them more Re publican than ever. Wliat is yet more noteworthy, the vote of the fifty thousand soldiers who have lieen serv ing iu the great army of the Southwest, Is so far as heard from, in proportion even strong er against the new Constitution than that of the people at home. The actual contact with “the peculiar institution,” and the actual ex perience of the spirit which governs the reb els, seem to have made the soldiers peculiarly opposed to every civil or political movement calculated to placate southern hostility.—!N. V. World. I'xxoTicin Illumes.—When I see a man holding faster his uprightness iu proportion as it is assailed; foritfyiug his religious trust in proportion as Providence is obscure; hoping in the ultimate triumph of virtue more surely iu proportion to its present afflictions; cher ishing philanthropy amidst the discouraging experience of men's unkindness and unthank fuluess; extending toothers a sympathy which his own sufferings need, but cannot obtain; growing milder and gentler amidst what tends to exasperate and burden, and through inward principle, converting the very incitements to evil into the occasions of a victorious vtrfue, I see an explanation, and a noble explanation of the present state. I see a good produced, so transcendent in its nature as to justify all the evil and suffering under which it grows up. I should think the formation of a few such minds worth all the apparatus of the present world. I should say that this earth, with its continents and oceans, its seasons and harvests, and its successive generations, w as a work worthy of God, even were it to accomplish no other end than the training and manifestation of the illustrious characters which are scattered through history. And when 1 consider how small a portion of human virtue is recorded in history, how superior in dignity, as well as iu number, are the mmotieed and unhonored saints and heroes of domestic anil humble life, I see a great light thrown over the present state, which more than reconciles me to all its evils.—[Selected. It is not well that a man should always labor. His temporal as well as spiritual inter est demand a cessation in the decline of life. Some years of quiet and reflection are necessa ry, after a life of industry and activity. There is more to concern him in life than incessant occupation, and its product, wealth. He who has been a drudge all his days to otic monot onous mechanical purpose, can liarilly be lit for another world. The release from toil in old age most men have the prospective pleas ure of; and in the reality, it is pleasing as it Is useful aud salutary. “Let none decry innocent amusements they are the means of much reai good to the human family. .Social merry-makings, not in trinsically sinful, are good' and healthful in deed. Let the laugh, the innocent joke, the song, the tale, go round, for blessings follow’ in their wake. Many have naturally cravings for excitement, which, if not satisfied in the maimer referred to, will lead their subject to scenes of sensuality, from whence only wretch edness can flow. The producers of innocent amusements and recreation for the people, are then benetactors of their fellow men." —The career of General Beauregard as a rebel officer, is more remarkable than admira ble. lie made a brilliant beginning, only to come very early to an ignoble end. As 'Un saying is. “He went up like a rocket, and eatne down tike tin- stick.” So much for military career. As to the rest, he began a gentleman, and proves, in twelve months, a thorough blackguard. The truth is (as Solomon said long ago), a man cannot meddle with pitch without being defiled, A good cause cnohlcs the humblest of its servants; while a had cause —and there was never a worse one than that of the rebels—degrades and disgraees Uie few decent men who support it. 0.

June 23. dtf PROSPECTUS OP THB PORTLAND DAILY PRESS: XDITBD BY JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Timm, and JOSEPH B. HALL, of tho Aroostook Herald. Tlio Tortlard Daily Press In intended to bo an enterprising, vigorous and live Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS J« a large, well-filled, carefolly edited, and neatly printed weekly paper, intended specially fur general circulation throughout the State. Both of the abort named papers will labor to inculcate, in no dictatorial spirit, sound political prin ciples and to promote the material interests of tho State, and of the City of Portland as its interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of tho State. Politically, the Puma win give an earnest, cordial, and generotu support to the administration of Abra ham Likcolm, who In little more than one year, has indellihly impressed himself upon the nation's heart as an incorruptible 'patriot, an Inflexible Chief Mag istrate, and an honest man; the ability of whose ad ministration is most signally exhibited, not|onlyin tho matchless operations of our army and nary, bnt in the unparalleled fact that, in the midst of this gigantio rebellion,' our Government securities are selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend sound Republican principles, and, Inasmuch as political organizations have become a nec.-s.ity in carrying into effect great principles of Political economy, and inasmuch ss (the Republican party which, iu the brier chapter of its history already written, has successfully refund the allegation of its enemies that its designs and tendencies were sec tional, and triumphantly (vindicated Its claim to a Just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast in Its devotion to the Union while other organizations have so generally become infected with .a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at present seems competent to conserve the great prin ciples underlying all free Governments, tho l'nicas will cordially sustain the organization of that party not with a design to footer a more partisan spirit, but In the full couiciousness that it embodies the true principles upon.which our government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands. It will neither seek nor endorse any compromises wltn men in rebellion against tho laws of the land, bat will inculcate loyalty to the groat central idea of ail true democracy—that the majority must govern. Upon tho oxciting question of Domestic Slavery, it may bo proper to say, that whilo the Pit tea will sanc tion no interference with tho constitutional or legal rights of loyal men, It will neither >]iologiie for an ovil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that seems declined to sweep from existence an institution which is tho greatest anomaly in a free government. Tho emancipation of slavery in the federal Capital, tlie co-operation of the Federal with the loyal State governments, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful removal of our groateat "moral, political and social evil,” will find in tho Press a generous and hearty support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course propond for the 1’rehr and intending tliat. alike in war and in peace—in oar country’s peril and in ita triumph, It shall speak with no uncertain voice, we do not lose sight of the fact that true men have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes i they now tlnd themselves travelling parallel mails; and, instead of seekinn to widun tho differences lie- I tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the 1’kess will labor hopefully to encourage unity of purpose and harmony of act- ion among all loyal men. Aside ft on Its political department, tho Press will bo earnestly devoted to the advancement of tho best 1 interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart- rnent will in no case be neglected. Particular atten tion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make it an indispensable Institution of the Mate, and a go nial and welcome visitor in every work-shop, oount ing-house, and family circle. The Editors, not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies to tho work before them, and labor to make such a )mpor as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, and the exigencies of the times demand— one that shall be truo to the popular instincts.

VOLUME XLI. THE FORTY-FIRST VOLUME OF THIS PAPER Will Commence July 29. All persons who now subscribe to tho Mirror by paying S2 shall have a receipt to the close of Volnmo XLI—ending July 29,1863—being almost a year and one quarter. We are happy to announce Rev. Messrs. Pond, Shepard, Harris and Smith, l*rofessors in Bangor Theological Seminary, as stated contributors to tho columns of this paper. This paper is devoted to the diffusion of moral, re ligious, educational, and such other intelligence as !>ertaln* to the welfare of society. Its foreign and domestic news is made up to tho hour (Monday noon) of going to press, and is suffi ciently general to meet the wants of those who take no other paper. The fourth page is appropriated to the most inter esting Literary, Scientific, and Commercial miscella ny that can be gathered. It has a department expressly for Children. It is intended to be a safe family newspaper; with nothing to offend the most fastidious—neither cherishing a morbid appetite, nor catering to a perverted taste. We do not claim for it that it is the oldest, the lar gest, th© newest, even the best paper in the world: or that the Church and State would tall without it. c claim for the Mirror that it is a Christian paper. It aims to be a true reflector of Bible principle and practice; and in the correction of morafcvils and tho renovation of Society, to hold forth the true remedy. It can be said of ou- paper that while its correspond ence is not meagre, its epitome of news and compact items of interest is inferior to that of no other paper, and its abstract of valuable articles in American and Foreign Quarterlies has supplied a place not filled by any other religious print. If any want a paper that can safely be a companion on the Sabbath, that gives an unprejudiced view of public affairs, that aids to be a transcript of the age without identifying itself with its errors, that chroni cles to miuutencss religious and revival news, that holds firmly the doctriuen and practice of a protes tant Christianity and can be safely put into the hands of the young, we ask them to take the Christian Mirror. Tills being pre-eminently a Family Journal is one of the best channels for advertisements relating to Books, Sales, legal Notices, aud all articles of general con sumption. eekly papers generally, and especially religious ones, are less likely to be destroyed than those moro secular—they are read more in families than Dailies— they arc taken home and preserved, to be examined at leisure—their conteuts are more thoroughly scan ned—and they are often sent to abscut friends to con vey to those abroad, some idea of the state of afiairs at home. Portland, May, 1862. TESTIMONIALS. We subjoin some extracts from letters recently pub lished in our columns. From Professors In Bowdoin College. Other papers, published out of the limits of the State, are useful; but they cannot be expected to take the place and to ftiltill alf the objects oi a paper pub lished among ourselves. The Mirror is wen known to our religious people, and has been conducted by Mr. Lord, its present editor, with earnest Christian fidelity, with a high degree of ability, and at the same time in such a manner a* to hrinir to'li.rl.t a...l isli those local religions sympathies ami interests, which can be reached only by a pai»cr published in the State. From Rev. Dr. Chickering. All necessity lor two papers having ceased, wo ought to have one taken in all cmr churches, as good as you and a hundred contributors can make it The most imtriotic and liberty-loving among us cannot complain of its tone in these stirring times; and I sometimes almost wish I were compelled to rely upon your weekly summary iusteadof reading so many ex citing details in the daily pa|*crs. You tell us what wo really need to know; and a great many tilings that we ought to do. From Rev. Dr. Carruthers. It contains a weekly summary of events written in a lively style—criticisms, literary and moral, of gnat practical value—aud such matters of general and de nominational interest as serve to keep its readers well ‘posted up.* If ministers and others, at different points in our large State, would be a little more com municative of local facts, they would greatly increase its intrinsic worth, aud proportionally enlarge its cir* culatiou. [From Rev. Dr. Tappan.] In common with many others, I have earnestly de sired that wo might have in Maine, under the auspices of our denomination, but one religious newspaper, and 1 cannot but hope, that the Mirror, which 1 have takeu from the beginning, aud on many accounts have highly valued, may again secure general support, aud prove In its future course to be a paper in w-hich we can all unite. In most of the views expressed in relation to this subject, bv Professor Pond, in the Mirror of this week, I fully concur. Your own of fer “to send it without charge to anv who may lie de sirous of receiving it. till the meeting of the Juno (State] Conference in Portland,“ is fair and liberal.— You will permit me however to inquire whether it might not be well to send one number at least b -very Congregational minister in the 8tate, who is nut now a subscriber, without w aiting for an application, since, otherwise many may not know that such a proposal has been made. From Professors in Bangor Theological Seminary. From Rev. Dr. Pond. We obvionsly need one good religious paper in Maine; and one (if it can be made satisfactory,) is enough. We need it, not only as a vhehicle of intel ligence and thought, hut for the publication of no tices. and the accomplishment of various local objects which can bo reached in no other way. I have been a subscriber'for the Mirror and a constant reader of it for almost thirty years and though 1 have wen things in it occasionally which I did not like, (as I do in most other papers.) still all candid readers must acknowledge that the Mi Kilim has been, from the iirst, the steadfast advo cate of iiospel order and truth, and an important auxiliary in the great work of enlightening and evan gelizing Maim-. 1 will also say that I think the Mir ror has never been more ably and faithfully conduct ed than during the last few years. The present editor devote* timk tor a better organ than the Mikrou. Some other papers indeed are enabled to supply a greater quantity of muling for the same price; hut other tftiugs being equal, a medium sized paper like a medium sized b«*ok, is better than a larger one, and I cau say in all sincerity, that I know of no paper, large or small, metropolitan or provincial, w hich, with so little intermingling of what is of a different character coutaius a larger amount or a greater iariety of readable, reliable and every way valuable matter, original and selected. Ilian the* Min ium. Rarely do 1 place a number upou tile without a distinct feeling of regret in regard to more or less of w hat it coutaius, that I cannot have it in a volume ou my shelve* where it will be constantly at hand. From Her. Drs. Shepard and Harris. Hr. Lord. Dear Sir:—Permit us to express our de sire that the Mikuou may receive the confidence and support of the mcmtiers of our church** aud Congre gations in Maine. It is conducted with painstaking and ability. It is a judicious aud earnest supporter of the doctrines and polity of our church**, or their missionary enterprises anil their spiritual interests.— Its religious articles for family reading are choice. Its summary of news, though necessarily condensed, is comprehensive and well-digested. The occasious for difference re«*p*-cting the application of rhristian truth to civil ami social affairs an- parsing away, aud rhristian people are rapidly approaching unanimity candor, forbearance ami patience, with the grac* and (iroirfdenee of God, will enable them to obtain it.— infer these circumstances we hope that those who take a religious paper will make a trial of the Mir ROR; and we expect—we think w ith good reason— that they will be satbfl***! with it.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. The Christian Warrior.—The meeting of the Maine State Conference, held yesterday morning, at High Street Church, was of a most interesting and absorbing character: the church was densely filled with eager listeners, and, perhaps, at no time in the history of Portland, were the love of God and love of country so happily blended, as was shown by the audience there assembled. General Howard, of Maine, the patriot, the Christian, and the soldier, be ing present, was called upon to address the as semblage, which he did, and in his own pe culiarly enthusiastic and warm-hearted man ner. The effect of his oratory upon the multi tude was most thrilling. And, as the heroic sentiments of patriotism, love of God aud country fell from his lips, and found instant ac cess to the hearts of his hearers, feelings of a noble and God-like character tilled their souls. Tears poured from eyes unused to weeping, and a holier and stronger feeling of man’s duty to God aud country animated the enraptured listeners. Now, the audience was with him upon the battle fields of our beloved country, now, at the bedside of the dying soldier, and now, at the earnest, heartfelt prayer meeting of the camp, where the soldier, anticipating, j>cr haps, a violent death on the morrow, could consign his soul into the keeping of the great God of battles. Gen. Howard, in the course of his remarks, alluded to the untiring energy of Chaplain J. B. Adams, of Gorham; who, unmindful of his own life, followed the soldier into the carnage of deadly strife, and who, while the swift shot and bursting shell were carrying death to many a heart, and sorrow to many a home, chose by his Christian impulses to prove to the people of Maine his readiness to do his duty under all and any circumstances. Chaplain Adams, of Gorham, was the only one out of four of his profession who followed the Brigade of Gen. Howard into every battle, and through every deprivation, so attendant upon the life of a sol dier. Gen. Howard spoke of a prayer meet ing held by Mr. Adams, with the Brigade, just before entering the battle of Bull Run. The troops were drawn up in a little valley, and as the devout chaplain stood among them and Implored the blessing of God to rest upon our arms, as he also committed each and every soldier to His holy keeping, the noly Spirit found an abiding place that day in the hearts of many in the ranks; and who, with the dead ly tube in readiness, felt themselves filled from that moment with a calm resolve to do their duty, let what might be the hazard. This chap lain would ofler prayer when an opportuni ty would present itself, and unintimidated by the roaring of cannon, the bursting of shell, the ringing of musketry, would solicit fovor of the Divine, in behalf of the maimed and dying hero, whose last thoughts of home and the dear friends liehind him, would become sweetened by the consciousness of the presence of that prayer utteriug chaplain, whose voice ascended to the ear of God through the din and turmoil of battle. Truly, Maine has just cause to be proud of such sons. With such men a' these, breathing a Washington spirit into the hearts of those atound them, the forces of the old Pine Tree State will win for themselves a proud distinc tion among the brave defenders of our coun try The audience was also addressed by an In dian preacher, of the St. Francis tribe, of Can ada JSast, and who, with the love of ills people ever before him, labored for them, as did his Master among the Jews, without stipend or compensation. This gentleman received instruction from certain of the Professors and Students of Dart mouth College, many years ago. His remarks were deeply interesting, and listened to with much delight. As he closed, unsolicited aid began to flow in towards the pulpit, and, the sympathy becoming general, the plate was Called for, into which was placed most gener ous tokens of Christian largess. tar- Onr friends of the Advertiser have laid us under renewed obligations by kindly copying items relating to the business matters of our office. A Change.—The trees have been weeping tears for the past day or two, at the non-ap pearance of the great fructifler. But it gives us pleasure to note, that with the foggy,murky atmosphere, and the penetrating “Scotch mist,” have also vanished the gloomy look of the pub lic—that dear public, to whom we always look for lavors, and upon the face of which we are l ever able to discern the “signs of the times.” Now, nothing but joy—ever radiant joy—is depicted upon the features of every soul, which seems to have won its kindly expression from the generous sunshine, which floods spire and dome with its glorious rays. A General “Smash Ur.”—On Wednes day last, as the team of P. W. Gcrrish, of Cor nish, consisting of six horses, was passing over Ilamlen’s Brook, in Limington, the bridge broke down, and the driver, wagon, load and two horses were precipitated into the brook. By good fortune, the driver escaped without serious injury, although severely bruised.— rr»i_i_ i__ e. a “S, MM VIOO.', UVKVTVI, IMt/U Cft'IIJ, a good rubbing up. There were three tons of merchandise upon the cart, comprising a part of which, was a beautiful melodeon. This of course from sharp action became flattened; thus demonstrating to the musical mind, that high notes may be pitched upon a low quay—

Flobal Exhibition—The attention of gardeners and all interested, is called to the advertisement in another column of the Horti cultural Exhibition, to take place at Mechan ic’s Hall, next Tuesday. A liberal list of pre miums is offered. &y Portland will present unusual attrac tions on the approaching Fourth of July. The regatta Is to be a marked feature of the day. “All the world and the rest of mankind’’ are expected to be here, and our city and her citi aens will spare no pains to make the occasion worthy of the day. By We are indebted to Mr. M. N. Rich, of the Portland Shipping Dist, for very late Lon don and Liverpool papers, receive via. Quebec. Funeral Notice.—The funeral of the late Joaeph Knight, of Westbrook, will take place this (Friday) afternoon at 3 o’clock. Fashionable and Autistic Concekt.— This evening, at New City Hall, that emi nent composer, L. M. GottsciiAJ.K, assisted by a talented corps of vocalists, will give one of bfs grand concerts, in which will be per formed some of the richest compositions known to musical language. Mr. E. Hoffman will preside at the piano. Doubtless a large audience will be in attendance. Doors open at 7 1-2—coueert commence at 8 o’clock. Municipal Court. John Riley wailed before his Honor yester day morning, charged with the heinous offence of drunkenness and disturbance. Had John have been less riley, lie would not have had to Mettle the little amount of two dollars and costs, which the Judge felt bound to impose upon him. Another case of an unpleasant nature came before his Honor, but we forbear to publish it, and also withhold tile name of the part y im mediately concerned, hoping that as it was his first oflcnce, so may it also prove to be Ids last. Interesting to Traders with the Southern States.—The Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday says: “We had a conversation with Mr. Thomas Ong, who has resided in Memphis for some months past, from whom we obtained informa tion of a commercial character, of value to bus iness men. With reference to the probable demand for produce at the South, Mr. Ong says the consumption will open very slowly, and progress gradually, until consumers are able to buy on credit. Money is scarce, ami cotton, which planters had to rely on for means, having been to a large extent destroyed, the people are generally in a crippled esndi tion. It is estimated that one million 1 talcs of cotton have lsien burned up to the present time, nearly all of which was destroyed by the military; owners having applied tlie torch, or consented to the destruction, in few cases only. As to the growing crops lie says, Arkansas planters are raising, on the average, two acres to the ten formerly cultivated. As this ground, from the increased attention given to it, will produce more per acre than in ordinary years, the State may have one-third of au average crop. In other sections the average crop will not lie so large. Of sugar alsiut 15,000 hhds. re mained in the bauds of Memphis merchants. Each merchant was allowed to retain only fif teen hhds. The surplus was sent into Missis sippi by tlie military. Some little sugar was wasted by careless handling, but otherwise none was destroyed. The stock ol sugar at Louisiana is estimated at 300,000 lihds. It will lie sold pretty lively as soon as tlie river is opened. The principal paper currency in Memphis, since confederate scrip lias been sup pressed, is Hank of Tennesee issues. This, though now irredeemable, it is believed will ultimately lie good, the charter of tlie Bank being so valuable that capitalists will not suf fer it to lie forfeited. Advices from New Orleans show that con siderable business is being transacted there in sugar and molasses. The range of tlie former was 2 1-4 and 4 1-4. fair selling at 4c. Treas ury notes were taken reluctantly at New Or leans, and drafts on tlie North were negotiated with ditHculty. Parties going there to trade should be supplied with either gold or sterling.” By" The Lewiston Journal pays a very high compliment to lion. James G. Blaine, who, it is said, will have undisputed possession of tlie Congressional race-course in the 3d Dis trict, now that Mr. Morrill has declined a re nomination. Accident in Liminoton.—Peleg W. Ger rish of Coruish, who drives a team of six horses between Cornish and Portland, broke through tlie bridge across Hamlin’s Brook, in uu n uie »>in met precipitating his entire load down some ten feet, into the water. The load, consisting of flour, cases of clothing, and a valuable melode on, was very badly damaged. Mr. Gcrrish had two ribs broken, and was otherwise seriously Injured. The team of Mr. Gcrrish escaped without great damage. A defective bridge was the occasion of the accident Revolutionists Shot.—We have a letter from Aux Cayes dated June 10, which states that fifteen of the men who were engaged in endeavoring to foment a revolution against President Gcffrard had been shot on that day, and that more were reserved for the same fate. —[Boston Journal. Internal Tax Bill.—The final passage of the interna! tax bill by Congress, is tile subject of mucli congratulation. It has tieen (lending nearly three months, and the action of isitli Houses was finally harmonized by the Com mittee of Conference, whose labors have been very great. The bill is very acceptable to the western memls-rs. because of the suspension of the land tax authorized at the last session, while the tax on tabaeco and liquors meets with much favor. In other respects the bill is familiar to all, and with tile Senate's modifications, which were almost wholly agreed to, it is probably as nearly perfect as can he.— Its defects can be easily remedied at the next session. The hill will sen is1 published as it passed.— Waehinyton Letter. LATEST BY EVENING PAPERS. BATTLE BEFORE RICHMOND 1 The Union Troops Invincible 1 JEFF. DAVIS RETORTED SICK AT RALEIGH. Prom Don. McClellan’s Division. McClellan's Headquarters, I June 25, Evening. Gen. nooker at 0 o'clock this morning, ad vanced his division with a view to occupying a new position. The result was tliat the troops met with a most determined resistance from Ilie enemy, which lasted until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, during which the rebels were forc ed to give way tieforc the Invincible courage of our men. During the day everything indi cated a general engagement, hut the enemy showed no disposition to accept. Our troops all fought gallantly as ever. The loss on our side was about 200 in killed and wounded. The following are among the wounded:— Col. Morrison, aid to Gen. Palmer, wounded in the hand; Capt Rafferty, 2d Excelsior, in the leg.

Our killed is small in number, most of the casualties being wounds. The loss of the ene my is unknown, but is believed to be equal to ours. The rebel camp in front of Gen. Hooker’s division was captured, and is now held by our troops. The ground fought for was a swamp, with thick underbrush beyond which is an op en country. The woods intervening between our troops and the enemy prevented the result of our artillery Are being known. The result of U>-day is highly important to the health of the army, as but little more ground is to be gained to place our troops be yond the sw amps. Gen. McClellan was present during the whole day, superintending ail the movement*. Jeff. Davis Sick at Raleigh. New York, June 2fi.

A letter from Kiclunond to the Times says Gen. Meridian is bringing up from Yorktown sundry siege guns, some of which have already arrived. It was agreed between Col. Keyes and Gen. Howell Cobb, in a recent conference, that the surgeons taken on the Add of battle should not la* regarded as prisoners of war, but non combatant*. This arrangement has been sent to Washington for approval, and there is but little doubt it will receive it. Temporary hos pitals will Is- put up at Fair Oaks station, at Savages and elsewhere near the front. Accommodation* for tents have already Ix-on prepared for 2500 or 3000 at White House; this will if possible be still further enlarged. Deserters who came in to-day conftrm the rejiort tliat Gen.

The Convention assembled in Norombega Hall, and Allen Haines, Esq., of Portland was appointed temporary Chairman, and Messrs. Simpson of Belfast and Emery of Gorham, Secretaries. The State Committee was appointed Com mittee on Credentials. Committee on Resolutions—A. G. Jewett Of Belfast, J. A. Peters of Bangor, H. A. Wyman of Skowhegan, C. P. Kimball of Portland, and A. Libliey of Augusta. Committee on Permanent Organization—C. B. Merrill of Portland, Nathaniel Wilson of Orono, and D. T. Pike of Augusta. Speeches were made by Messrs. Blake of Bangor nnd Sweat of Portland. Adjourned till afternoon. On assembling In the afternoon, the Com mittee on Resolutions reported the following: Revolted, That it is the first duty of the cit izen, in tliis perilous national crisis to yield a ready and unwavering supjiort to the govern ment in all necessary and proper efforts to sub due the existing rebellion, and vindicate the authority of the Constitution and Union over every inch of territory within the limits of the United Stab's. Reaolved, That our army and navy arc enti tled bi the warmest gratitude and supjiort of ev ery citizen for their self-sacrificing efforts in be half of the common country, and that we will re sist ait measures and efforts bi convert this war for the Union into a crusade for negro emanci pation. Resolrrd, That we cordially invite all citi zens of this State who concur with us in the foregoing declaration of sentiments, to unite with us in the elevation of men bi official place who will act iu accordance with these senti ments. The following was offered from the floor by C. P. Kimball of Portland: Rmulced, That we cordially approve of the rwitriotic course of the brave Gen. McClellau; that we admire his genius and skill as com mander of our army, and that our whole hearts are enlisted in his success before Richmond; that we view with detestation and scorn the wicked attempts of scheming jmliticians to un flprmiiiH nt fur ertinw aKnriwif ilia I.urtif convicted. Pending the question, the Senate resolved it self into a oourt of impeachment, for the trial of Judge Humphries. The Sergeant-at-aems reported the Judge not to lie found. The proclamation, calling on him to appear, vrss made without an answer. The President pro tern stated that the mana gers, on the part of the House, were at liberty to proceed in support of the impeachment. 1 he names of the witnesses subpeoned were read. Mr. Johnson was excused from obeying the summons on the ground of public duties. Mr. Traiu, on the part of ehe House, opened the case, analysing the articles of impeachment, and brifly stating what was intended to prove against the defendant. The evidence then pro ceeded. The galleries were densely crowded. The members of the House filled the seats of the Senators, who were arranged upon a platform expressly constructed for the purpose. The wit nesses, including Col. Polk, Brownlow and Bai ley Peyton, occupied the settee* on the other circle. The proceeding was conducted with all the dignity becoming a high court of impeachment. Jacob MeGaritt, John Hugh Smith, H. B. Bcovill, Isaac Sutton and Win. G. Brownlow gave evidence in proof that Humphries, while holding office from the government of the United States, was a rank secessionist, and had held a court of the stymlled Confederate States, at which were tried Union men, charged with sedition and re bellion against the Confederate States, in giving aid and comfort to the United States. Mr. Brownlow heard him make a vindictive stump speech from the bench. Mr. Bingham, on the part of the managers, said he would offer no more evidence, thinking that the facts charged abundantly proved, he should therefore, in the name of tbe House, and people of the United States, demand that con viction be had of the impeachment with which charged. The President pro tein then put the question, whether the accused was guily of the high crimes and misdemeanors chanced tiy the arti cles of the iui]>cachiucut of the House of Repre sentatives. The accused was declared guilty on the first article by an unanimous vote. Thirty-eight Senators were present. Messrs. Bayard, Carlisle, Johnson, Pearce, Simmons, Stark and Wilson of Mass., were absent. tin the second article, charging him with sup porting secession, 35 voted him guilty. Brown ing voted not guilty. On the third article, charging him with or ganising an armed rebellion, the vote was,guilty 32, not guilty, Anthony, Fessenden, Foster, Harlan. On the fourth article, charging him with conspiracy to oppose the government, guilt v 27, not guilty 10. On the fifth article the vote for guilty was unanimous. On the 6th article, charging him with the confiscating of property of citizens, guilty 11, not guilty 24. Mr. Foster offered the follwing question: Is the court of the opinion that West II. Humphries lie removed from the office of Dis trict Judge for the District Court of the United States for the District of Tennessee. Mr. Trumbull moved to mid,and be disqualifi ed from holding any office under the United States. Both Mr. Trumbull’s amendment add Mr. Foster’s question were adopted. The President pro tem then pronounced judg ment: It is hereby ordered and decreed that West H. Humphries, Judge of the District Court of the United States, for the Western, Middle and Esstcrn Districts of Tennessee, be and is removed from said office, and that he lie and is disqualified from holding or enjoying any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States. The court then adjourned sine die. A flea which the Senate adjourned. HOUSE. The members shortly after assembling, pro ceeded to the Senate Chamber to attend the Court oi Impeachment in the case of Judge Humphries. W hen the members returned from the proceed ings, and the result of the Court of Impeach ment reported, Mr Walton oi Vt, as a question of privilege, caused to be read a communication in the New York Tribune, entitled “Intelligencer Book Job,” sent thither by one of its Washing ton reporters. It was due to himself as mover of a resolution to whica reference was made by one who by courtesy occupies a seat in the re porter’s gallery, that the charge made in that article be investigated. He therefore offered the following resolution: Whereas, The publisher of the New Y'ork Tri bune, on the authority of one of its correspond ents, have declared that offers of a pecuniary nature have been made apparently for the pur pose of obtaining the action of the House im properly, corruptly and criminally, which charge if true involves a breach of the privileg es the House, and if false in respect to any mem bers of the House, or others who are implicated, is a breach of the privilege accorded to reporters by the courtesy of the House; therefore Resolved, That the Committee on the Judi ciary be instructed forthwith to inquire by whom and on what authority such change, and any other contained in the article referred to, has been made; and to make thorough investigation as to their truth or falsity, and report all the evidence to the House with their opinion there for, and such resolutions as to them shall seem meet, and that said committee have power to send for persons and papers, and report at any time. The resolution was adopted—102 against 18. The House passed the Senate bill to provide additional medical officers in the volunteer ser vice. The members again proceeded to the Senate by invitation of that body, to hear judgment pro nounced in the impeachment case. After the members returned, the House ad journed. New Ship Canal. ATROCITIES OF THE REBELS Northern Humanity. REBEL BATTERY SHELLED

gen. McClellan still iiolds the NEW PICKET LINE FEOM WASHINGTON. Wasaixotoic, June 36. The rumors from New York of Cabinet chang es are not believed here in any quarter, and are generally regarded as mere simulations, arising from the feet of the President's visit to Lieut. Gen. Scott on business, the military bearing of which is only conjectured. The new gunboat Paul Jones, Capt Stead man, having taken on board her armament and complement of seamen, left the Navy Y'ard yes terday afternoon. The Select Committee appointed by the Speak er, to whom all the papers on file in relation to the construction of a ship canal around the falls of Niagara are referred, consists of Messrs. Van Horn of New York, Blake of Ohio.Nevrics of Kentucky, Trowbridge of Michigan, Kice of 111., Davis of Pennsylvania and Cravens of Indi ana. Hon. Emerson Etheridge will deliver an ora tion from the steps of the Washington Monu ment in Baltimore on the 4th of July. Exten sive preparations for celebrating this national holiday have been made by the union men of that city. Flag Officer Davis in his official report con cerning the expedition up White river, mentions that after the accident to the Mound City, the wounded men were shot by the enemy while in the water, and adds that the Navy Department and Country will contrast the barbarities of a savage with the humane efforts made by our people to rescue the wounded and disabled un der similar circumstances in the engagement of the 6th insL Several of the poor fellows who expired shortly after she engagement expressed their willingness to die when they were told the victory was ours. Flag Officer Farragut communicates to the j Navy Department that an encouhter between our gun boats up the Mississippi and rebel bat tery in the vicinity of Gran Gulf between Natch es and Vicksburg, a boat sent down to bring up coal vessels from near that point, discovered earth-works in the process of erection. The Wissabuckon and Itasco were sent down to attack them the found a battery of rifled guns loca ted there and a force of some five hundred ar tillerists ready to receive them. A vigorous fight ensued. The Itasco was struck twenty-five times, and the Wissabuckon seventeen they however lost but one man killed and six wound ed. The fort being too serious an obstacle to have in the rear ot the boats. Commander Palm er serving at that point, determined to bring down the remainder of the squadron and break up the business before it became too formidable. On the afternoon of the 16th we dropped down with the squadron and shelled the town for an hour, but they deserted their batteries, and with the exception of a few rifle shots, manifest Art Yin rMIltfflWV f\imman c was especially assigned by the Presi dent to the chief command. The forces under Uen. Banks constitute the 1st corps to be com manded by him. The forces under Gen. Banks constitute the 2d corps and are to be command ed by him. The forces under Gen. McDowell constitute the 3d corps and to be commanded by him. General McCall's division ten thousand Btrong which formed a part of McDowell's corps lias reached McClellan by water and another di vision is to follow immediately in the same way, while Gen. Pope will also operate against tiic enemy at Richmond. Besides Gen. McCall's Division, Gen McClellan has received other rein forcements to the amount of several thousands since the battle of Fair Uoks. Confiscation of Kebel Property. Washinuton, June 86. George A. Coffee, Esq., U. S. Attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania, reports that nineteen twentieths of the prisoners brought into Phila delphia have been or will undoubtedly be con demned, and their proceeds distributed as prise money. The costs in most cases arc light.— Quite a number of the prises are already con demned and sold nml the meuey is about being paid over to the Navy Department. Railroad Accident. New York, June 24. An accident occurred on the Canada Amboy Railroad yesterday, in which one car was demol ished and four others precipitated into the canal near Trenton. One man connected with Capt. Uook’s Massachusetts battery was drowned and twenty horses killed. The accident was caused by a detached rail. Various Matters. New York, June 26. The Mayor has vetoed the appropriation of 880.000 for St. Joseph’s Hospital for sick and wounded soldiers, as not within the province of the municipal government. A special Washington despatch to the Post says it is rumored that Earl Russell has sent a communication to Secretary Seward protesting against Cen. Butler's conduct to the women of New Orleans. It is probably unfounded, but if true, the Earl Russell will get a tart reply. A Maryland slave-hclder has appealed to the War Department, the military authorities of Alexander refusing to obey the process for the delivery of a fugitive slave. Southern Item!. Crrr Poiirr, June 26. Last evening one of our gunboats moved up and shelled the rebels on the Petersburg road, but without any casualities on the side of the rebels, according to their own account of the affair. The Southern newspapers contain no impor tant news. There is nothing further from Charleston. Gen Lougstreet issued a flaming address to his troops on Monday, in view of the great conflict imminent, inciting them to new deeds of hero ism, and advising them to aim low and make sure of the mark. The official lists of the rebel losses at the bat tle of Fair Oaks have been published. Eighty five regiments and battalions in all were engaged, sustaining a lues of killed, wounded and missing of 5897. The rate of postage in the Southern Confed eracy has been raised from 5 to 10 cents. About 10 o’clock" this evening a conveyance arrived at City Point, with Capt. Robertson and Lieut. Sykes of the rebel army, who returned under their parole of honor to Fort Warren, the rebel government having decided not to make any individual exchanges until the government shall agree upod terms for a general exchange of prisoners. Gen. Prentiss ami 90 other federal officers,tak en at Shiloh, have been removed to Atlanta, Oa. A dispatch from Chattanooga says the federate have stampeded from that place, leaving their camps and everything behind. The Charleston Mercury says all was quiet at James Island on Sunday, but the enemy was busily engaged in throwing up earthworks. From Charleston. Charlestok, June 24. Steamer Memphis, from Liverpool to Charles ton via. Nassau, N. P run the blockade yester day successfully. 8he has aboard Mr. Wanl.late minister to China, and a valuable cargo of Brit ish goods. The Memphis is a new iron steamer. From the Weet. Memphis, Jane 23. Gen. Grant has assumed command of the dis drict of Western Tennessee, and has appointed Col. Webster commander of the post, and Col. Hilger the Provoat Marshal of the district, and Lieut. Col. Armstrong Provost Marshal of Mem phis. The Union meeting was attended yesterday by about 200 citixens. A full ticket of Union men was nominated for city officers. Five hundred t>ales of cotton were shipped for the North yesterday. Special dispatches in the Grenada Appeal of the 16th, say that ten mortar boats have passad Rodney, coming up. Beauregard publishes a letter in the Mobile News of the 10th, denying emphatically the cap ture by Gen. Pope of 10,000 prisoners, as tele graphed by Gen. Hal leek. He says that 100 or 200 stragglers would cover all the prisoners he took, and about 500 damaged muskets. He also says that all we lost at Corinth and during the retreat, will not amount to one day's expense to the enemy’s army. The Grenada Apneal of the 20th, says that the rebel army of the Mississippi is being greatly reinforced in health. The Jackson Mississippian says we have relia ble information that the enemy have fallen back from Holly Springs. Stock Market.
