WAR IN AMERICA. NEW YORK, AUG. 21, (Per Arabia, by Telegraph to Halifax ap:d v i a Queenstown.) The says Cincinnati Gazette says—" Th e long threatened invasior, of Keotucky has commenced. The rebels have 'entered the state at several points. They have cap Lured Somerset, are moving on Glas gow, and i P areaten Bowling-g reen . G en. Kirby Smith, 'Mch 15,000 men, 24 pieces of artillery, and an adel4rJate force of cavalry, is moving from East Tenti%see to cut off the Federal supplies at Cumber lane. Gap and compel its evacuation. Confederate GrJneral Morgan is still in the vicinity of Gallatin. , A wo hundred Confederate cavalry are at Monticello, and are supposed to be the advance guard of the enemy. The crisis is truly alarming, and the go vernor is putting forth all his energies to meet it. Two Federa/. regiments have been sent from In dianopolis, and seven more are to leave. They will go amply / prepared in all but discipline for the conflict?' Latest despatches state that General Smith has captured London, in the rear of the Federals, and doubtless will attack them in front and rear. Federal General Buell is cut off, and it is feared he is in a precarious position., Communication between Kentucky and PANTaah v iii i ,, is interrupted. Southern P.ccount s o f the battle of Baton Rouge say OfJneral Breckenridge's expedition did not prove a et Jmplete success, owing to the Arkansas not having co-operated. Had that vessel not met with an accident the victory would have been complete. Thr.l Confederate land force accomplished all that W 5113 possible , They drove a largely superior Federal forc t f ro m a strong and well-chosen position two miles through the city to the shelter of their gun be,ats. They captured many prisoners and de r,troyed 500,000 dole. worth of Federal property. 'The Confederate loss would not reach 300. General Breckenridge ordered the recall of his troops, after they had driven, the Federals quite to the river under the prok.ction of their gunboats. The Confederates are now encamped upon the Comite River." The Richmond Despatch announces that the Confederate Congress would meet at Richmond on the 18th inst., and says, " The most important measu•re to be decided will be the Conscription Act. The -.Federals have called for 600,000 men, and unless the Confederate Congress acts with energy ti - le South will be taken at a disadvantage. The South can put in the field as large a force as the North, by calling out all conscripts between 35 and 45, and by extending the list to the ages of 16 and 55. Old men could be used to garrison the towns, leaving the young men to take the field. If these measures are rigidly followed out the South can put in the field a force quite equal to Lincoln's. We trust that Congress will not be delayed by the dream of intervention. There is now less cause to expect foreign intervention than there ever has been from the beginning of the war. England not only does not mean to interfere, but has done, and will, probably continue to do, every thing in her prxwer to prevent France from inter vening. The English people are favourable to the South, but %Ins far the English Government has not sympathised with the South, and has pursued a Polio . / little less than openly hostile. England has 'withheld France and opened the English ports to the Federals for the purchase of arms and '.munitions of war, while she knew the South could not obtain them." One brigadier general, one colonel, a major, ten captains, and 24 lieutenants of General Pope's army are at present in Richmond as prisoners. General Halleck has issued orders that officers and men will be held accountable for all property taken from the enemy. Officers or men taking private property without authority will be shot. A new military department has been created, composed of the states of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky east of Tennessee River, including Cumberland Gap, to be called the , department of Ohio, under the command of Of.ineral Wright. A mass meeting has been held in Brooklyn. The usual war speeches were delivered, and resolutions were passed in favour of the war, and denouncing mediation. It is reported that General Butler will be relieved from the command at New Orleans, and that General John A. Dix will be appointed in his place. Mr. Reverdy Johnson will be appointed provisional governor of Louisiana. A semi-official Washington dispatch says that Mr. Reverdy Johnson has made a report to the Fede~zal Government upon the points which he lately went to New Orleans to examine, and that President Lincoln has approved his conclusion. He recommends the return to the Dutch Consul of the 800,000 dole. seized by General Butler, and the payment to the French Consul of 716,000 dole., and also that a large amount of sugar and other mer chandise should be relinquished to British, Greek, and other foreign merchants in New Orleans. Mr. Johnson declares that these seizures by General Butler cannot be justified by civil or mili tary law. Cassius M. Clay has been serenaded at Pitts burg, Pennsylvania, where he made another long speech, devoted principally to denouncing England. Mr. Roraee Greely has published a letter, ad dressed by him to President Lincoln, which he terms the prayer of 20,000,000 people. He says the party which elected Mr. Lincoln is sorely dis appointed at his policy on the slavery question. He considers Mr. Lincoln disastrously remiss in discharging the emancipation provisions of the Confiscation Act, and that he is unduly influenced by the counsels, r epre sentat ions and menaces of the Border States members.. He complains that the Confiscation Act is habitually disregarded by the " Federal generals, and that no word of rebuke has yet reached the public ear." Generals Fremont and Hunter's orders were, h e says, promptly annulled, while Gen. Hall k' f or bi dding ee 8 ord er, slaves to come within his lines, has never provoked any remonstrance. A large proportion of th e Fede ral regular army officers, and many volunteers evince far more solicitude to uphold l s avery than put down the rebellion. Mr. Greely also complains that - negroes who at New Orleans endeavoured to esce,pe, strictly in accordance with the Confiscation A nt , Were maimed, killed, or returned to 1 s avery, and says, " All attempts to put down the rebellion and uphold its inciting cause are futile. If the re bellion were crushed, and slavery left in full vigour, it would immediately break out again. The army officers who to this day remain devoted to slavery are only half way loyal men. I ap pea l to the testi mony of American ambassadors in Europe slave bolding Mr. Lincoln's seeming subser v i ency to thee interest is not the perplexity and despa ir of statesmen of all parties. If it is impressed upo, the slaves that the Federal Government will sell them to a bitter bondage in order to defray the w ar expenses, :he Union will never be restored. Ten millions of people united in a solid phalanx, and powerfully aided by Northern and European sym pathisers, cannot be conquered. Unless negroes are taken for scouts, guides, spies, cooks, teamsters, and diggers, the Federals will be baffled and repelled." Mr. Wendell Phillips defines his position as fol lows :—" From 1843 to 1861 I was a disunionist, and sought to break the Union, convinced that dis union was the only righteous path for the white man and black. Fort Sumpter changed the whole question. After that, peace and justice both for bade disunion. I now believe three things—first, that the destruction of slavery is inevitable, whichever section conquers in the struggle ; second, that there can never be peace or union t ill slavery is destroyed; third, that there n ever can be peace till one Government rules f to the Lakes, and having wronged the from the Gu l f negro ,or TWO centuries, America owes him the PreSCrVid /OD of the Union to guard his transition from slavery to freedom, and make it short, easy, and perfect. I cannot conscientiously support the Unio n , wh i c h for 20 years has debarred him from its highest pr i v il ege s by demanding an oath to a pro slavery constitution, neither can I support an ad ministration that clings to a policy which makes every life lost and every dollar spent utter waste. I have serious doubts if the administration will pilot the people through their present trouble, but I am For all The free tran s it o f p assengers h as b 3 n interrup t e d been placed under arrest f or say i ng i n p r ivate what could do no possible ha rm if pro claimed from the quite certain th a t it never w il l unless its present policy is changed."

These interruptions of the common law privileges and immunities of the person can only be justified, if justifiable at all, by the military code. They find no warrant under the civil authority. Next week, in view of the draft, it may be necessary to give new stringency to the present restrictions. Cowards and traitors will find their names drafted. They may attempt to escape. Mobs may be fo mented by the concealed labours of rebel sympa thisers. The service of the draft notices may re quire in some instances the exhibition of more than ordinary force to guard against such mis chievous contingencies. It may be proper to be thoroughly armed at all points, and authority should perhaps be given even to the extent of martial law to those who are charged with the preservation of public order. We take it for granted, however, that the moment the draft is completed, and the men gathered at their ren dezvous, the distasteful spectacle of martial law will no longer be offered to the sense of our com munity, and that at the completion of the draft this unusual authority will be withdrawn." NEW YORK, AUG. 16. (Per City of Manchester, via Roche's Point.) The following is the Federal version of the battle reported to have taken place at Tazewell, in East Tennessee : " Louisville, Aug. 15. " Capt. Terry has just arrived from Cumberland Gap, which he left on the 12th inst. He reports that Gen. De Courcey's brigade was attacked by Stevenson's rebel division on the 9th inst. at Taze well, and that Col. Cochran, of the 14th Kentucky, whipped four rebel regiments. Col. Cochran held his fire until they were 150 yards, and checked their advance. The Federal loss was 3 killed, 15 wounded, and 57 prisoners. The rebel officers admitted a loss of 250 killed and wounded. We took 213 waggon loads of forage and 70 horses, but lost the knap sacks of two regiments. " There has been no fight 'at Big Creek Gap as reported, nor any other engagement in the vicinity of the Gap or Tazewell than the foregoing. " All reports of other engagements, and of the cutting to pieces of Gen. Carter's and Col. Byrd's forces by the rebels are utterly false. " Knossville papers give a list of 100 rebels killed at Tazewell." A correspondent of the New York 7ribune gives the following particulars of M'Clellan's evacuation : " Without a struggle, without a blow, without even the capture of a single man, the immense army of the Potomac, officers and men, bag and baggage, stores, tents, horses, ammunition, and all contra bands, are now far away from Harrison's Landing, leaving it a desolate and deserted plain. For seve ral days this important movement has been going on. Ten days ago I was convinced that the evacua tion had already commenced, from the fact that steamer after steamer and vessel after vessel passed us, steaming or sailing in the direction of Fortress Monroe laden heavily with horses and stores. All agree that the whole affair has been admirably well planned and executed. For a wonder everybody did not know everything that was to take place be fore an order was given, and for a still greater wonder after an order was given no one knew the result. " The first intimation of a movement being in contemplation took place on the 11th inst., when M'Call's division received orders to strike their tents, provide six days' rations, and be ready to move at a moment's notice. " At nine o'clock at night the whole division ar rived at the wharf, embarked quietly on steamers, and left the Landing some time during the night for Acquia Creek, as was supposed, via Fortress Monroe. An order was next issued that no more vessels loaded with supplies should proceed further than Fortress Monroe, and on Wednesday ten days' rations were served to the army, which was required to be in readiness to move at an hour's notice. All the knapsacks of those who were ordered to march by land were placed on board barges and schooners, for the humane purpose of relieving men of their weight and encumbrance during the hot and weary march. On the same day Gen. M'Clellan and Col. Ingalls left Harrison's Landing for the nearest tele graph station and communicated with the War De partment as to the future movements, returning the following day. " On Thursday the army commenced evacuating in earnest. All the siege guns were removed from the front and safely embarked on Thursday and yesterday on board barges and schooners. Porter's corps led the van of the overland portion of the army on Thursday night. On Friday morning every tent was struck and then for the first time was it generally known that the whole army was about to evacuate Harrison's Landing. On Thursday night 50 sail of vessels left the different wharves loaded with stores, and yesterday the remainder of the stores were placed on boats and steamers by the con trabands. All the cavalry that remained before the final departure of the land forces acted as pickets and a strong rear guard of infantry and artillery was placed to protect the baggage trains. " The sick and wounded who remained at the different hospitals were placed on board the regular steamboats belonging to the sanitary commission at the Long Wharf, and were among the first to move out into the stream. " General M'Clellan and most of his staff went by land, and yesterday afternoon Colonel Ingalls and Captain Rankin started across the peninsula on horseback, Captain Sawtelle remained to direct the operations at the Landing; and great praise is due to him for his energetic and indefatigable exertions, and excellent management throughout. " At seven o'clock last night I went on shore for last time from the mail dock. On the pier and the bank above, but a few barrels and boxes remained t o be shipped, and with the exception of the pro vost's guard, this was all th a t rema i ne d on shore of the ar my ofthe Potomac. „ Far as the eye could reach, nothing could be seen but a mighty plain of d eso l a ti on and ruin.” A RRIVAL OF THE ARABIA. LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY. The Royal M ail steamship Arabia, Captain Stone, which sailed from Boston on the 20th, and Halifax on the 22d inst., arrived in the Mersey this afternoon via Queenstown, where she called to land A telegraphic summary of mails and pass eng ers. her news has already been published. The New York Times of the 19th gives the fol lowing as the situation of affairs :—" The uncer tainty with regard to th e movements of the army the I the Potomac w ill b e rel i eve d this morning, by Positive Monroe, that ro o „ ing e , that li • , wi a i b li o a u m t sb e n i announcement, received from Fortress was evacuated on Harrison s Landing arrived at at about the same hour Gene ra l M,Clellan's ad vance perty was all removed down üblic pro g• The P eight o'clock, and that River in the James safety, and the army .„.

Hereafter no appointments of major , general or brigadier -general will be given except to officers of the regular army for meritorious and dis tinguished services daring the war, or to volunteer officers who, by some successful achievement in the field, shall have displayed the military abilities re quired fbr the duties of a general officer.

" By order of the Secretary of War, " E. D. TOWNSEND, Assistant Adjutant General." The steam ships North Star and Roanoke ar rived at this port yesterday with advices from New Orleans to the 10th inst. The most important in telligence by these arrivals is relative to the battle of Baton Rouge, which proves to have been of much more importance than at first appeared from the mangled reports which reached us through rebel channels. The action, which was fought on the sth, termi nated in a complete victory for our forces against considerable odds. Our troops fought with the most desperate bravery and suffered quite severely, though the rebel losses are much the heaviest, numbering over a thousand—including, according to Gen. Butler's general order of congratulation, three brigadier generals killed, wounded, and pri soners, and many colonels and field officers. Gen. Williams, it appears, did not have his head shot off, but was killed by a rifle ball through the chest while leading a portion of his troops in a charge. Breckenridge is reported to have lost his right arm. A General Lovell was killed, supposed to be a brother of Major General Mansfield Lovell. We also receive an account of the last movements of the ram Arkansas, from which it seems the finishing touches were put upon the monster by the gunboat Essex, commanded by Captain Porter. The Essex engaged the ram single-handed, and after effecting a breach in her side with nine-inch solid shot, fired an incendiary shell into her and set her on fire. Her officers and crew mostly escaped to the shore. Affairs in New Orleans are progressing about as usual. Some little excitement was occasioned in Suffolk, Virginia, on Saturday morning last, by an appre hension that the place was about to be attacked. On the night before about 100 rebel cavalry drove in the national pickets. A desperate battle took place at Clarendon, Arkansas, on Monday of last week, between the national troops under General Hovey, and a por tion of the rebel General Hindman's command. Our force consisted of six regiments of infantry, and part of an infantry brigade. The battle re sulted in the defeat of the rebels and the capture of 700 prisoners. The loss of life is reported heavy on both sides. Our advices from Nashville represent that the guerillas are threatening that city on every side. All railroad communication with the city is cut off, though telegraphic communication continues with out interruption. A large rebel force, under Gen. Stevens, is said to be between Nashville and Mur freesboroagh. The Philadelphia Bulletin of the 19th says a gentleman who left Fortress Monroe last evening furnishes the following information : " The army of the Potomac had all arrived at the lower end of the peninsula without being molested on the way in the slightest degree. General M'Clellan, it was understood, was at Williamsburg yesterday morning. General Fitz John Porter's division, which was on the opposite side of the James River, has also come down the peninsula. General Burnside arrived at Fortress Monroe on the 17th, and went up the James River as far as the Chickahominy to see how the operations were going on. He returned yesterday morning, and reported everything satisfactory. The weather was cool and delightful, and most favourable for the operations of the troops. Most of the gun boats have come down the river, but some remain to guard the pontoon bridge across the Chicka hominy, over - which the army passed on its way down the river." Reports were current at Washington that General Jackson was coming up the Shenandoah Valley to outflank General Pope. It was thought, however, very improbable. There was some talk at Fortress Monroe of General Burnside taking command of the army now commanded by General M'Clellan. The Navy Department at Washington had re ceived the following official reports from Admiral Farragut of the fighting at Baton Rouge and the destruction of the rebel iron-clad ram Arkansas : "Flag Ship Hartford, Baton Rouge, August 7. " Sir,—lt is one of the happiest moments of my life that I am enabled to inform the department of the destruction of the ram Arkansas ; not because I held this iron-clad steamer in such terror, but because the community did. On the 4th inst. I sent the Tennessee up to Baton Rouge with pro visions for Commander Porter and the gun boats stationed at that place. On the night of the sth she'returned with information that the enemy had made a combined attack upon Baton Rouge by the ram and the two gunboats Webb and Music, and calling for assistance. At daylight the Hart ford was under weigh for this place, with orders for the other vessels to follow me as fast as they got ready. I arrived here to-day, at 12 o'clock, in com pany with the Brooklyn, Westfield, Clifton, Jack son, and Sciota. I had sent the Cayuga up before, agreeably to a request of Gen. Butler, in consequence of guerillas firing into some transports. " On my arrival I was informed by Commander W. D. Porter that yesterday morning, at two o'clock, the enemy's forces, under General Breckenridge, attacked Gen. Williams, and drove in his pickets, &c. Gen. Williams having had ample warning all was prepared for him. " The fight was continued with great energy on both sides until 10 a.m., by which time the enemy had been driven back two or three miles, but unfor tunately the gallant Gen. Williams, while cheering on his men, received a Minie ball through the heart. " Gen. Williams had informed Lieut. Commander Ransom the evening before of hit, plans, and re quested him not to fire a gun until he notified him, and when ho did so our gunboats, the Kinico and Katandin, opened with fine effect, throwing their shell directly into the midst of the enemy, producing great dismay and confusion among them. " Lieut. Ransom had an office on the State House, which overlooked the adjacent country, and could direct the fire of every shell. As soon as the enemy was repulsed Commander Porter with the gunboats went up stream after the ram Arkansas, which was i lying about five miles above, apparently afraid to take her share in the conflict. "According to a preconcerted plan, as he came within gunshot he opened on her, and probably soon disabled some of her machinery or steering ap paratus, for she became unmanageable, continuing, however, to fire her guns at the Essex. " Commander Porter says he took advantage of her presenting a weak point towards him, and loaded his guns with incendiary shells. After his first discharge of projectiles a gush of fire came out of her side, and from that moment it was discovered that she was on fire, and he continued his exertions to prevent it from being extinguished. They backed her ashore and made a line fast, which soon burnt, and she swung off into the river, where she con tinued to burn until she blew up with a tremendous explosion, thus ending the career of the last iron clad ram of the Mississippi. " There were many persons on the banks of the river witnessing the fight, in which they antici cipated a triumph for Seeesaia, but on the return of the Essex not a soul was to be seen. "I will leave a sufficient force of gunboats to sup port the army, and will return to New Orleans, and depart immediately for Ship Island with a light heart that I have left no bugbear to torment the co mmunities of the Mississippi in my absence. " D. G. FARRAGUT." Hartford, New Orleans, A ug . 10. Admiral Farragut also reports WA Ihaagv eshpiiPcked up a number of prisoners from the ram Arkansas, all of whom I have catechised very closely. They agree very well respecting their exit from the Yazoo, and her passing the fleets, and t hey also agree as to the number of killed and wound e d on each of these occasions, ma ki ng i n all 18 kill e d and a large number wounded. " At V ickeburg they pl a t e d the deck with iron and fortified h er with cotton inside. She then came down i n command of Lieut. H. K. Stevens, with the intenti on of making a combined attack with Breckenridge upon Baton Rouge, but her port engine broke down. " She was repaired in the course of the day, and went out to meet the Essex the next morning, when they saw her coining up ; the starboard engine gave way and they ran her ashore, she being perfectly unmanageable. "They say that when our gunboats were seen coming up, and the Essex commenced firing, the captain set the rain on fire and told the crew to get ashore, they also state that the gunboats Webb and Music were sent for to tow her up the stream, but did not come." Admiral Farragut also reports the destruction of Donaldsonville, Louisiana, by the Brooklyn, on account of attacks there made on our steamers by guerillas. A Union surgeon who was present on the battle field writes as follows:—" From 5,000 to 10,000 rebels under General Breckenridge attacked about 3,000 Union soldiers, stationed on the outskirts of Baton Rouge, at four a.m. of the sth of August. The fight lasted until ten, when the rebels were repulsed, and retreated in a row. The Vermont regiment behaved badly, except its officers; the colonel was killed. 21st Indiana, 30th Massachus setts, 9th Connecticut, and 4th Wisconsin, did most of the fighting, and nobly too. " Many of our officers are wounded, and our total loss in killed, wounded, and missing is probably about 300. The rebel loss is very great as witnessed by myself. " The rebel wounded report General Breckenridge with loss of right arm, General Ruggles killed, General Clarke taken prisoner and wounded ; Colonel Allen, prisoner and fatally wounded ; also Captain Chun. ",General Lovell is reported killed, but it is pro- bably his brother, as the general is thought to be at Richmond. One rebel told me as I was amputating his leg, that the rebels lost nearly 800 men, which I think is nearly correct. " Breckenridge sent a flag of truce for permis sion to bury his dead." A Washington telegram of the 19th says— " Lieut. Roe states that the enemy are still hover ing in the rear of this place (Baton Rouge) and that information is received that to the 6,000 already in the vicinity 4,000 men are approaching from Manchiac ani others from Vicksburg. I keep in constant communication with the commander in chief of the troops here, and am ready to open fire when and where Le may desire." Commander Poster says the Arkansas had a crew of 180 men, and bounted 10 guns, six 8-inch and four 50-pound riles. The gun-boat Essex, com manded by him mounts seven guns, and had only 40 men on daty at the time of going into ac tion. The Peden' loss is reported as 70 killed and 215 wounded. The New 1 1 orZ Commercial has a letter written on board the Brooklyn, in the Mississippi, which gives the followirg account of the bombardment of Donaldsonville —"On the 9th the admiral sent word to the inhabitants of Donaldsville to leave the town, as he interded to shell it the next day. From this place they have fired into our transports re peatedly with riled pieces, and a fe w nights since fired into a trans)ort laden with wounded soldiers. On the 10th we started down the river, stopped at Donaldsonville, fired a broadside of five second 9- inch shall into tie town, and then sent a party on shore and fired he town in several places. The buildings were coon in flames, and before we left the greater partof the town was in ashes. It seems hard, but it is ti 6 only way to stop the scoundrels from protecting themselves, thinking we will not fire into the town on account of the women and children. The guerillas dare not fire at us in the open field." " Another acc3unt says—" Captain Broome,'with the marines of the Hartford, landed, and immedi ately proceeded in search of one Philip Landray, a noted guerilla captain, and a very desperate cha racter. We cane upon him as we entered the lane leading to his house, before he had time to gallop out of the gate, And as his horse could not jump the fence he left his horse saddled and bridled, also his horse, all of which we captured. We then pro ceeded to his house, which was handsomely fur nished. We burned his house, furniture, stables, outhouses, and sugar refinery, valued at 100,000 dols. While engaged in burning his property a party of guerillas fired on us from the bushes, but at too great a distance to do any damage. We suppose they immediately ran off, as we could find nothing of them afterwards. We burnt besides some 24 houses, including hotels, saw-mills, &c., destroying over half a million dollars worth of pro perty, and returned to the fleet without losing a man." A St. Louis telegram on the 19th August says : " The city was full of vague rumours yesterday that a fight had occurred on Friday, near Lexington, between 800 Federals and the guerillas of Quan trell, Hayes, and Hughes, in which the Federals were defeated. No official advices have yet been received. Paoengers by the Pacific Railroad, however, report that a fight did occur on Friday, at Lone Jack,Jackson county, about 20 miles south west of Lessington, between parts of Col. Philip's and Crittenden's regiments of State troops, 800 strong, and about 3,000 rebels, under Quantrell and guerilla chiefs, resulting in the defeat of the State forces, with a loss of 200 in killed and wounded, and two pieces of artillery. Official accounts are expected to-day." Another despatoh of the same date, from Lexing ton, says :—" General Lane has reached here with reinforcements, thus rendering this place secure against recapture. The gunboat Werner is also here, and will render valuable service should we be attacked." The Cincinnati Gazette announces that the Con federates have captured Somerset and Monticello, Kentucky. The Gresada (Mississippi) Appeal of the 13th August states that the Federals took possession of Bayou Sara, on the 11th, seizing all the sugar and molasses, and quartering a garrison there ; also that the rebels have been reinforced in Arkansas, that their advance stores there have been increased, and that General Holmes has command of that state. The order of General Sherman, at Memphis, pro hibiting the purchase of cotton with gold, silver, or even United States currency, has been rescinded. Major-General Grant on the 11th, issued the an nexed general order : • In pursuance of orders from head-quarters of the army at Washington, all restrictions on the sale of cotton, and the prohibition of the payment of gold therefor, are hereby annulled ; every facility possible will be afforded for getting cotton to mar ket. " By order of Major-General U, S. GRANT. " J. C. RAWLINS, A. A. General." General Sherman accordingly caused a notice to be published in the Memphis papers to the same effect. The battle of Tazewell, according to the corres pondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, who writes from Cumberland Gap on the 9th, was no more than a skirmish, and a very badly-conducted one, as he re presents it. The march on Tazewell from the Gap was for the purpose of procuring forage, and this was gained while the enemy were increasing their force to make a dash at the foraging brigade, of which Colonel De Courey, an Englishman, who has a good reputation as a soldier, had the command. He is represented to have blundered in having his com mand so scattered in the face of an enemy as to make any united defensive movement almost impossible. A retreat took place after the Confederates had completely beaten off th e Union troops going back to tie Gap, wher eas t h e y might have driven the enemy completely, who were in force withinseven miles of the Gap, on the 9th inst. De Courcy re ceives much blame for his proceeding. The Cimfe dente troops under General Hindman at Little Rock, Arkansas, were estimated between 50,000 and 80,000 men. Colonel Corcoran, so long in captivity in the South, had been released, and had arrived at Wash ington, where he met with a most enthusiastic re ception. The President had appointed Col. Cor coran a brigadier general. General Casey had issued an order to the troops under his command, warning them against wilful destruction of prope r t y , an d forbidding marauding, pillaging, &c., and u rg i ng regimental commanders to a strict enforcement of the articles of war rela tive thereto. Eight hundred bales of captured cotton were sold at New York on the 19th, and brought 166,000 dots The State Department had issued orders to grant passports to persons liable to draft, who desire to proceed abroad,, on their executing a bond with sufficient security to the United States, conditional to perform military duty or furnish a substitute. Brigadier General Stone, United States army, who had been confined in Fort Lafayette for some months, had been released. By telegraph via Halifax commercial intelligence have been anticipated. The New York Times, speaking of volunteering and the coming draft, says :—" Voluntary enlist ments are plentiful, and steadily increase in num bers from day to day. Last week more Men were added to both old and new regiments than it would have been considered possible to raise in the time even in the great uprising of a year ago. But the quotas to be supplied from the city and county of New York and the adjoining county of King's is of itself a small army, and great exertions will have to be made to avoid drafting for the purpose, at least, of filling up the rocks of the second 300,000 demanded by the President. The first ;.requisition will; almost certainly be satisfied before the 22d inst. by volunteering alone, and between then and the Ist September a considerable surplus will be found that can be credited to the account of re quisition No, 2, but unless an extraordinary enthu siasm be in the meantime evoked there must as suredly remain a deficit of several thousands to be supplied by conscription. Enlistments ran up as high yesterday in New York and Brooklyn as 700 to 800, but they must for the next fortnight average 1,000, or drafting will be indispensable." Forty regiments bad been organised in the State of New York under the first call, 17 of whom had received marching orders. FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. 17.—A great number of steamships, steamboats, and schooners are now in this harbour loaded with disabled soldiers and com missary stores, camp equipage, &c. The Harrison's Landing mail boats made their re gular trips yesterday, when they were hauled off. Nothing has been heard from Gen. M'Clellan's army to-day, but last evening they were success fully crossing the Chickahominy, en route to Wil liamsburg, where his advance had arrived, and last night their baggage train was passing through Yorktown toward Fortress Monroe. To-day the old bridge across Hampton Creek was rebuilt, and a pontoon bridge was also laid across near it. A force of cavalry arrived at Hampton about noon to-day. A large number of troops are in camp about two miles this side of Newport News to-night. A large baggage train is now at Hampton. Gen. Burnside is now here, and there is some talk of his taking command of the army of General M'Clellan. That a portion of this army must remain on the peninsula is evident, as there are between Hampton and Yorktown 20 acres covered by hospitals, and at Hampton a railroad is now being completed be tween there and Fortress Monroe. ST. Louis, Aug. 19.—The city was full of vague rumours yesterday that a fight had occurred on Friday last near Lexington, between about 800 Federal troops and the guerillas of Quantrell, Hayes and Hughes, in which the Federals were defeated. No official advices have yet been received. Pas sengers by the Pacific Railroad, however, bring reports that a fight did occur on Friday, at Lone Jack, Jackson county, about 20 miles south-west of Lexington, between parts of Colonel Philips and Crittenden's regiments of State troops, 800 strong, and about 3,000 rebels under Quantrell and other guerilla chiefs, resulting in the defeat of the State forces with a loss of 200 in killed and wounded, and two pieces of artillery. Official accounts are ex pected to-day. IRELAND. DUBLIN, AUG. 30. The Orangemen of Belfast do not seem satisfied with their last demonstration,—which they called " Protestant," though none of the clergy gave it the sanction of their presence. They have resolved to hold a great meeting in the open air, having en gaged for the purpose the Botanical Gardens. It is to be a monster meeting on the plan of the great Hillsborough demonstration in 1834. The Belfast News Letter, the organ of the movement, declares that " once more there is a great emergency ; once more a special effort is, called for, once more Pro testant union, and determination must have a con stitutional victory." The Protestantism of Ulster will assert in the face of England that it will no longer tolerate a partial administration of the laws, or remain silent while the policy of repressing the loyal and encouraging the seditious is developed. Thus they have every confidence that " the 17th of September will witness in this centre of Ulster a demonstration which will leave its mark upon the history of the times, and be fraught with moral and political consequences of the utmost moment." Let us hope that while leaving its mark on the history of the times, it will not also leave its mark on the heads of some of the citizens. It is hard to conceive what the Orangemen want, unless it be what the News Letter means, when it says—" The Rcman Catholics of Dublin may lose the exclusive privilege of breaking the law, and insulting their Protestant brethren, and the Government may lose their seats, or else make up their minds to administer the law impartially." The Protestants of Ulster ought to be well pleased with the Government now. The appointments to the Episcopal bench ought to put them in the best possible humour, for the men selected are conservatives, whom they admit to be men of the right stamp, and who bear names which they have long venerated. And as to the administration of the law, they have seen Roman Catholic judges as sternly frowning upon crime—even agrarian crime—and punishing it as severely as the most "loyal" of the Protestant judges could do. The only thing they can aggravate into a grievance is the denial of the privilege to violate an Act of Parliament, which they allege the Roman Catholics enjoy; and to protest against this they would agitate the industrious and well-die posed population of Ulster. It is net likely they will get much encouragement from the respectable and really religious portion of the Protestant community. Ultra partisans will make speeches against May nooth and the Pope, and the Lord Chancellor, and there the matter will end. In the meantime, the Northern Whig protests against profaning the Bo tanic-gardens by " such a demonstration of the bigotry and folly of Orangeism." The gardens are common ground; the flowers and plants belong to no party. The public, who seek a pleasant recrea tion there, do not wish to see the serpent trail of faction upon those scenes of beauty. They do not like to see its verdure trampled into mud by what they regard as the hoofs of bigotry. Mr. R. G. Annesley, sub-inspector of constabu lary, has contradicted a statement in the Clunmel Chronicle, to the effect that the room in Gowsan Castle where Mr. Coates was to sleep Was marked, and arrangements made for opening the sash from the outside. Mr. Coates has sent for publication to the Kilkenny Moderator the threatening letter he has received, remarking that it would be very gratify ing to him, and perhaps to Lord Clifden, if the writer would find some means of communicating to him any act which has been done on his Lordship's estates calculated to cause revenge, even to the taking of life. The following is the threatening letter, which was posted in Dublin, and addressed to Mr. Coates, Ballincasherberry, in the county of Waterford, near Clonmel " Mr. Coates,—We are ver y sorry that you have escaped your life in Kilke nny, but when I reach home you will not escape death in the co unty o f Waterford ; that w iii put an end to your days ; i n less than one month from this date you and Sir Nu gent / j um ble will meet the contents of a blunderbuss. So prepare in time for the last home. I had been sent to the fort h o f Ireland to shoot Mr. Percival, of Moor-hill Fallow, but I did not meet him. Our society have sent ru e . lon one of Beckham and Walsh. This is the last notice. A County of Waterford and Tipperary man. " Eng age your cof f in in time." At the head police-office yesterday, George N. Wilkin wa s brought up in charge of Acting-In- Vector Craven, charged with having forged and uttered a cheque for £2,000. The facts of the case were detailed in the evidence of George Russell, a detective sergeant of the London police, who came over with the prisoner. In the absence of the soli citor of the Bank of Ireland, on which the cheque was forged, the case was remanded till Tuesday next. The refractory female paupers of the South Dub li❑ Union, who attempted to burn the workhouse, were brought up at the same office and committed for trial. When they were being removed they rushed upon the woman Struddart, who had given evidence against them, and it was with the greatest difficulty she was rescued by the police. They were brought down to the cell screaming and shouting in the most savage manner. _ _ At the last petty sessions, Kilmallock, county Limerick, John Beckham, of Bruree, nephew to the convict Beckham, who was executed in Limerick for the murder of Mr. Fitzgerald, was brought before the magistrates charged with " wheeling" (with an open knife in his hand) for Beckham, close to the house of a respectable person who gave evi dence in the above murder case, He was committed to gaol for six months, in default of his finding bail for his future good behaviour. Also, at the same sessions, Thomas Ryan, who was formerly employed as gardener to Mr. Fitzgerald, was brought up charged with being drunk, and shouting in the street for Beckham and Walsh. He would have been sentenced to simiiar imprisonment as Beckham, but that he procured two sureties to go bail for his good conduct for the next 12 months. On Thursday, at a private meeting of the Law and Finance Committee of the corporation, an ap plication was read by the town-clerk from the Com missioners of the Board of Works, requiring an assessment on the rateable property in the city of Cork to the amount of £7,200 to replace the build ing, the property alleged to have been maliciously burnt by the fire which took place in the western wing of tho Queen's College, in this city, on the 15th of May last. There was no discussion on the subject further than an order being made to refer the application to the Town Council Presentment Sessions, wnich meets on the first Monday in Sep tember. The application, it is anticipated, will be negatived by the council, and it will then go before the recorder and a petty jury, who will try the question of malice. Should the Crown get a ver dict on this issue the jury will then be required to assess the amount of damage. The corporation will resist by counsel and witnesses the appeal before the recorder. Should the verdict be against the ratepayers for the full amount claimed, the assess. ment will amount to about ls. 6d. in the pound on the total valuation of the city. Defalcations to an enormous extent have been dis covered in the stores of the Drogheda workhouse, where the paupers were lately found selling their bread. The master is implicated, and an investi gation is about to take place. There is also an in vestigation in progress relating to charges made against the master of the Waterford workhouse. The Portpatrick Railway was open for traffic on Thursday. A special train left Belfast for Dona ghadee, and the steamer Heroine started for Port patrick immediately on its arrival with 600 passen gers. She made the run in one hour 27 minutes, and back in about the same time without a single accident. This is the shortest sea passage between Great Britain and Ireland. The railway commu nuication will bring many that way who dislike the sea. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS IN KIRADALE GAOL. The Liverpool Mercury of Saturday says :—lt has already been stated in these columns that on the 23d ult. Taylor, the Manchester murderer, had a final interview with his wife, and that the scene at parting was of a heartrending description. We find that in the last particular our informant was slightly in error. Mrs. Taylor was passionately fond of her husband, and therefore the inference was drawn—and very naturally so—that their meeting together for the last time on earth would be of a most affecting painful nature. Strange to say, this was not the case—at least so far as those who witnessed it were concerned. The criminal was much surprised on learning that Mrs. Taylor had come to the conclusion to take leave of him and quit Liverpool at once, and seemed to be greatly an noyed and disappointed that she was not -going to remain here until after his execution, as he wished her to do. He said but little on the subject, how ever, and they separated for ever with but little manifestation of emotion on either side. For some time after Mrs. Taylor had left the gaol the wretched man evinced disappointment and great uneasiness at what he evidently felt to be unkind ness on her part ; but on it being represented in a kind and feeling manner for her and for him that she had left Liverpool, he seemed more resigned to the early separation. Mrs. Taylor left Liverpool for Somersetshire on Saturday evening, 23d ult., we un derstand. It is to be regretted that Taylor does not pay that attention to spiritual matters which the fearful position in which he stands demands. On Sunday he attended Divine service in the chapel with the other prisoners, when a very appropriate sermon was preached by the esteemed chaplain of the gaol, the Rev. T. Appleton. The reverend gentleman's discourse was not at all liked by Taylor, who after wards expressed his disapproval of it. It is stated that he does not receive the attention or ministra tions of the chaplain in a becoming spirit, and that he is prejudiced against him, because that function ary plainly told him that there is no hope of his life being spared. Taylor formerly was connected with the Wesleyan body, and since his condemation his sister, a very intelligent woman, has written to him, affectionately urging him to allow a minister o f that connection t o visit him, but he refused to do so ; indeed, he evidently dislikes the idea of being attended by any minister of religion, and when spoken to upon the subject, he says that what has taken place is between him and his God, and he needs no assistance in preparing for his end. On Monday he was busily employed in drawing up a petition to her Majesty, asking for a pardon, set ting forth in the document the whole of the circum stances connected with the murder of Mr. Meller. Having completed it, he made an application to the governor of the gaol to be allowed to deliver the manuscript to a friend,'whom he expected to come from Manchester to see him, for the purpose of getting it printed before it was presented. Captain Gibbs, however, informed Taylor. that he had no authority to grant such a request, and that he must apply to the sheriff or the visiting justices. At that time the culprit laboured under the delusion that if he could only get his petition presented to the Queen he would receive a full pardon, inasmuch as he con siders the murder of Mr. Mellor was justifiable. Indeed, it is stated that, alluding to his trial and conviction, he has said that Mr. Pope in his defence proceeded upon a wrong basis, and that instead of setting up the argument that he is insane he should have argued that the murder was justifiable, add ing that, had he done this, the jury would have ac quitted him. On Tuesday, at the convict's request, Mr. Thomas Wright, the well-known prison phi lanthropist, had an interview with him. Having informed Mr. Wright that he had drawn up a pe tition to the Queen, he handed it to that gentle man, no doubt thinking he would get it presented by his instrumentality. Mr. Wright, however, very properly placed it in the hands of the Governor of the gaol. Taylor was made aware of this, and he has now made up his mind not to send the peti tion to her Majesty. It appears that he would not acknowledge to Mr. Wright that he had done wrong in committing the murder, and voluntarily said that he would never state how the poor children came by their deaths. The wretched men, Michael Burke and John Ward, sentenced to death for the murder of the policeman at Ashton-under-Lyne, have, since their condemnation, manifested much contrition, and are preparing for their approaching end. Burke is a Roman Catholic, and is attended daily by the Rev. Mr. Gibson, a zealous and earnest priest of that communion, whose services have been very beneficial in several cases of this kind. TIE OUTWARD AMERICAN MAIL,—.QUEENS TOWN, Sunday.—The royal mail steamship Australasian arrived here at 8 a.m. to-day, embarked mails, passengers, and latest telegrams, and proceeded for New York at 4 p.m. All well, THE MURDER BY A SOLDIER Al WORTH. `3 SL. The further examination of Thomas Cooper, with several aliases, was resumed on Saturday, at the session room in the Town Hall, before Capt ain Donnethorne and a full bench of magistrates. In order to obviate the difficulty experient 'ed last Saturday in gettjng the prisoner through ti he dense mob that congregated round the entrances .) to the police station, the Town Hall, and the streets leading thereto, the prisoner was brought down from the House of Detention, where he had been under remand, at an early hour in the morning, and he was safely conveyed in a ca,h, and lodged. in one of the private rooms in the Towil 1-1311, without the public being aware of the fact. Punctually at the time appointed the accused. murderer was placed in the dock. 11:43 appeared careworn and anxious, but considerably unproved in his appearance. On the prisone r b e i n g asked by Mr. Rt.s , ton if he had any professional ad viser, he replied, " Not yet, sir." Mr. Ruston, the clerk to the magistrates, t, hen readover the evidence given at the last examinatit'n. Rosina Barnham repeated the evidence she ha d given at the inquest as to we possession by Mae prisoner of three bullets, one of which he said w for the deceased, one for her mo, , he r, and. one for: the first izian that tried to take him. The prisoner said, " That is false, Bose, and you know it is." Harry Everett, a tailor, deposed to having met the deceased and he thought the pris oiler on the evening of the murder about 20 yards; from the milestone on the Twickenham -road. I'hoy were talking together. He did riot hear any ch.c the con versation, but the woman sneered at the mut He should not like to swear that the prisoner va a the man. Thomas Maddock, a gardener, said he met' t he prisoner and the deceased about 25 minutes to , nine on Thursday evening about 100 yards from the Chequers public-house. He had previously kno\ ' 7ll him, and he believed him to be the man he saw. Ephriam Caughtney repeated his statement tha t the prisoner and deceased had had some ale toge- • ther at the Chequers on the night in question. Mr. George Turpin, a retired officer in the army, said he was going to Isleworth on the 7th ult., and. when near the corner of the lane he heard a man and woman inquire of Another person what time it was, and the man replied 25 minutes to 9. He had n a o n t e se a e na seen that man m th a e n d a e t e t e h a e sed court. He then crossed the l but he would not like to swear standing there, the prisoner was the man. He resembled him, how" James Hedges, a groom, repeated his statement that about the time mentioned he saw' Anne Barn ham and a person he believed to be tihe prisoner at the Corner of Brazil Mill - lane; the man bad a mous tache, and was dressed in dark clothes. He heard him say, "I have told you of it before." Thos. Barnham, a cousin of the deceased, ~n ether and the prison er together on the night in qua. stion • Joseph Burniss , a boy, saw a man and woma n m Brazil Mill -lane on the same evening ;he heard tihem quarrelling; he passed them, and noticed that they shook hands. Soon afterwards he heard a report; of a pistol. He did not then see either the man or woman, as it was too dark. James Andrews, a letter carrier, repeated his former evidence. Charles Brown, a detective, produced the Letters found on prisoner when apprehended, one of which related to the crime, and actually admitted the com mission of the murder. After a consultation, the Bench decided that the letters should not be read. The prisoner admitted that he was in Brentford on the Thursday, and that he had watched Anne because he thought she was, going to keep company with other men. John Hawker, another detective, deposed• to hav ing found a pistol in prisoner's pocket. Witness asked him what he meant to do with it, and he re plied " Shoot myself." He said he had read all the papers had stated, and was only waiting to get .some more information before he shot himself. While going down to Brentford the prisoner said, "I wish I could have found the grave of Anne that I might have died there too." Mrs. Barnham, upon being recalled, said the pri soner had no moustache the day he was at her house, but his whiskers were larger. Rosina Barnham and Ephraim Caughtney con firmed this evidence. The prisoner stated, in answer to the Bench, that he would reserve what he had to say. He was then fully committed for trial. COUNTRY M4RK.E:I,S. .~~. t 'l NORTHAMPTON-SATURDAY.
