The News.

Up to the hour at which we write, 70
o'clock, P. NJ we have received no addi-
tioRal intelligence either from the Southern
coast, or Columbus, Ky. What has cut on
communication with the former, we are not
advised, With the latter, communication
has been interdieted by the military author
tiles, for reasons which, We presume, are
satisfactory to them. We must confess, how
ever, that We do not see the wisdom or ne.
cessity of Withholding from the public.
eve for single day, fall particulars of the
brilliant achievement of our army on the
bank of the Mississippi.
It was reported in this city yesterday, on
good authority, that couple of bridges on
the railroad between Chattanooga and Dalton
ad been burned; the work, it is supposed,
of incendiaries.
We had placed at our disposal yesterday,
a copy of the Evansville (Ia) Journal of the
5th, from which we make eopious selections
of Northern dispatches, some of which con-
tain interesting news. -
One of these dispatches states that the
friends of the Confederate States in London
a nd Paris are confident and noisy in the be-
lief that the necessities of the manufaetu-
ring interest would lead to some interference
to break up the blockade, but processes to
believe that there is no probability of such
contamination. Another dispatch, however,
announces that THURLoW WEED, the shrewd
est intriguant on the continent, and Arch
bishop HUGHES ale to go to Europe to SEN
-r.F
Southern Commissioners, and to prevent a
recognition of the Southern Confederaey."
The two dispatches do not accord. The one
is, we suspect, leather and prunelia,R the
other q very strong Indication that our
friends have cause to be confident and
noisy" 1855 at
Other dispatches announce fight, without
any serious result, between RosECRANs and
FLOYD; but claim that the former has the
latter surrounded. Our intelligence from
Floyd's division, by way of Lynchburg, in
dictate that there has been battle, which re-
suited favorably to the Southern cause. We
shall soon learn the true state of the case.
The capture of Prestonburg, KY, By the I
federal General NELSON is reported. This is
probably so, as Col. WILLIAMS and his troops
had previously left the place for q stronger
position miles South, where he can defy
NELSON and his Yankee hordes. ssi
There are further speculations as TO the ]
removal of Fremont and its probable effect
upon the army under his command. 1t is
declared that a number of the officers threat

DICTATOR OF THE SoUFH-WEsT.' g - - -
The Administration have clerks in the
Treasury Department searching for prece-
dents on the question of the right of the
government to reopen any particular port,
on the Southern coast, during the blockade.
The federal Judge, GRIER, is reported to
have said on the Bench, that the government
should treat Southern captains of the sea the
same as those taken on land. This was spO-
ken in relation to Southern privateers on
trial. The Judge is sensible; and the gov
eminent will be sensible if it follow his adj
vice. If it persist in disregarding it, and
hang one of our privateers, woe be unto the
Yankees. Vengeance will swiftly follow.
