being the hardest worker and strictest dis
ciplinarian in the Regiment. Notwith-
standing all this hard work all my company
Will stand by me to the last.
We have startling rumors from Missouri,
express men, and runners, coming in every
day. The rumor is that Missouri has at
last concluded to throw off the yoke Of
Lincoln's Government--has called for fifty
thousand troops, and has sent to Arkansas
for assistance. Certain it is there is great
commotion and sudden movements by the
State troops in that direction; two detach-
ments have already gone-moVed yesterday
and to-day-and the balance here move on
tomorrow, besides troops from all parts OF
the State are moving towards the border,
some eighty miles distant. We are await
ing an hourly expectation for orders to
move into Missouri. Gen. McCulloch told
me yesterday that he was expecting such
orders in a few days. So perhaps, ere this
reaches you, we may be on our march into
Missouri, to give her some backbone ard
to cut the thongs that tie her. We may
have some warlikc work TO do yet.
There is no truth in the rumors that Jim
Lane and Montgomery are coming down
on this place or on Texas. The truth is
they are badly frightened in Kansas at the
near proximity of the terrible Ben McCul-
loch with his Louisianians, Arkansians,
Texans and Indians, and we have it from
persons direct from there, that they are
| content to arm for home protection, without
sending out troups to attack us. Jim Lane,
they say, has but little influence with any,
except adventures and cut-throats. We
do not fear nor expect him. All we desire
is band in the campaign that shall eman-
cipate Missouri, and be in at the fight at
St, Louis ; there will be some good work
to do there, and some brilliancy in the move
ment, that shall, we hope, call the atten-
ton of our friends from the full glory of the
Virginia campaign, 20 the more modest
pretensions of our own. With kindest re-
CARDS to all, remain your friend,
JAS. F. HARRIS.

GEN. SCoTT AND THE o. P. From
the Richmond Examiners report of the
proceedings of the Virginia Convention we
take the following:
GEN. Scott ia DiSgrace-After a few
minutes in secret session the doors were
again opened, and DIR. Cecil, of Tazewell,
presented an ordinance canceliug all marks
of honor heretofore bestowed by the State
of Virginia upon General Winfield Scott.
The same instrument ordained the change
of the name of Scott county to Davis coun-
ty. in honor of the President of the Con-
federate States. This county was origi-
nalIy named in honor of General Scott, re-
ports to the contrary recently circulated
being incorrect.
The same ordinance changes the name
Of Buchanan county, named in honor Of
the "last President of the United States,
to Stephens county, in honor of Vice
President A. Ii. Stephens.

An INcIDENT.-After the Vienna battle
last week, a South Carolina soldier, who
had been out on a scout, was arrested by
three of the retreating Yankees, who,
after disarming him, set out for the federal
namp, ''calculatiu," largely, no doubt, on
the welcome plaudits that awaited them
for their heroic exploit. But all things
fair are doomed to fade. After march,
ing some distance the party came TO q
halt-stacked arms, which were topped
with the sword bayonet, and two of them
went in pursuit OF water, leaving the
Carolina captive in cargo Of the Yankee
captor. The former watched his time,
and when the watering party was out OF
sight, seized bayonet, and at a single
stoke almost severed the head from the
body of his companion, after which be
quietly took possession Of the arms and
marched to the camp of his friends

ONE OF THE HoRRoRs OF BATTLE
We learn that on Thursday last, two Of
the dead bodies of Lincoln's men were
found in the neighborhood of the Bethel
battle ground, In a state of decomposi-
ton. They were traced out by means Of
the buzzards lowering over the spot. One
of the corpses had in his haversack quar-
ter of baked shoat 1t is supposed they
had crawled away from the scene of battle
after being wounded, and died on the spot
on which they were discovered. From
their uniforms it is presumed they were
members of the Zouave regiment.
1t is said that all along the road from
Bethel to Hampton a most intolerable
stencil prevails, and that from the appear.
ance of the buzzards circlinR around
about; there must be numbers Of purify

Public Meeting.

AT a meeting Of the citizens Of this
county, held at the Court House, 10 the
town of woodville, on Tuesday, the 9th
inst, to take into consideration the matter
of the loan to the Confederate Govern

aid in the support of our Confederacy and
to enable il 10 carry on the war in which
we are engaged,
On motion, w. C. Cornell was called

SOLDIERS BACKWARD Cairo, July g.
Saturday and Sunday were occupied in
taking the oaths of the soldiers for or
against a re.enIislment of the term of three
years.
The following is the result: For three
years-Cook's regiment, 40; McArthurs
so; Oglesby's I4O. All the rest are for
disbNnding.
The remainder Of the three months
regiments will show a similar unsatisfacto-
nv reaalt. The cause is no pay.
The officers made fine speeches mixing
Lincolnism and patriotism. Money only
demoralizes the privates, while the officers
are Inundated by duns from hotels and
washerSwOmen. .

Fort PIcKEEs.-Allnding to the New
York Tribune'S boast that this fort will
soon be in a condition to defy the whole
power of the South the Mobile Advertiser
and Register says:
Something in the air whispers that be-
fore very long this boastful prophecy Of
Greeley will be tested by an event.
Things look dark and lowering like angry
clouds over and about Fort Pickens, and
sundry lightning flashes augur the rising
of storm. Gen. Bragg of "grape" fame,
and Brigadier General w. II. Walker
once pronounced by General Scott to be
"the most heroic officer in the United
States army are there to ride and rule il
on the Confederate side.

The CONFEDERATE LOAN IN HINDs.-
From the Mississippian we learn' that the
patriotic planters of Kinds are doing
nObly in furnishing material aid for the

county has not yet been canvassed, and
already about EIGHT THOUSAND
Bales of Cotton have been subscribed.

CIKcINNATTI.-There is an appeal in the
Cincinnati Ne,os. of late issue, addressed
to the City Council calling upon them to
adopt measures for the relief of their
starving population, and expressing. the
establishment of the editors that the PEG.
pie have been able, under all their dis
tresses, to avoid breaking out 10 violent
measures, to obtain bread for their starv-
ing families.

SrGNrFIcANT.-We learn from the Rich
moud Examiner. that the agent of the
French Government, now in Richmond, is
about to buy tobacco there. Ii is said he
will commence in the courseof few days.
Independent Of this being good news to
the planters, there is an important signiti-
eance in this action of this agent. 1t is
we'll known that tobacco is an article OF
monopoly with the French Government
The question naturally arises, then, why
would that Government authorize the Pur-
chase Of tobacco If the blockade is to be
recognized and continued? Would France
purchase that which she cannot receive
II this be true, as stated, it is very en-
souraping to our planters and disagree
able hint 10 our enemies.

John S. Scott, of Point COupee.


The Virginia correspondent Of the Del.
ia gives the following narrative Of the re-
cent exploits Of Louisiana hero, whom
most of our readers know as genial.heart-
ed John Scott of Point COupee. And we
think the Captain is az fortunate In his
historian as in his martial adventures.
Long may he have the pen of d. G. Jen.
kins to recite to us his chivalrous achieve.
ments: -
He is one of those peculiar men 10
whose complete development peculiar cir.
cumsiances are necessary. II Rome had
had no armies and no wars, Caesar might
have shown as an orator equal to Cicero,
or philosopher as famous as Aristotle;
for Cesar was too ambitions to rest 10
peace or war. But, without the border
campaign In Virginia, 1t is quite possible
that Mr. SCOTS neighbors and friends in
West Feliciana and Point Coupee parish
es, Che has plantation in the last and re.
sides in the first would have known bin
only as genial companion and intelligent
gentleman, distinguished especially as a
good Judge of horse flesh, bold rider,
and brilliant shot. Here, amid the stir
ring and eventfui scenes of this peninsula,
he Is all this indeed, but he is greatly and
notably more. AS select volunteer scout
in the service of Col. Magruder's command
it would be hard to find any single man
who has assisted to more advantage than he
to organize the success of the Confederate
arms along this line of operations. Leath.

can tell you without chart or ield.book
all the ways by which cavalry, infantry

sition. A brief conversation with him Of
these topics is worth more than the dia

cuix 10 conceive WHAT encounter lS uespet-i
ate for one who combines such consumate
daring, such GOODNESS and presence of mind,
and such ready knowledge of the situa-
ton, however perilous. In one instance,
near Hampton, in company with two citi
zens on horseback, he was attaked by nine
of the enemy, who endeavored to surround
and take them prisoners. Dir. Scott turn.
ed his horse, and feigning flight, succeed
ed in drawing their FIRE. He then wheel
ed and charged upon three that were in
advance of the rest. One of them how
ever, still, bad his piece loaded, and fired
upon Mr.. Scott at the distance of about
twenty yards when the latter was at full
gallop. Mr. Scott instantly refined up his
horse, shot the man who bad just fired
dead, with one barrel of his gun, then with
the other barrel mortally wounded another
who was running across field, and after
wards captured the third, who was not so
active in getting away. While this was
going on, the rest of his nine assailants
had scampered off in wholesome dread Of
meeting with similar treatment from his
two companions. Gathering the Spolia
opinla of victory, Mr.. Scott then returned
to camp.
Mr.. Scott was the horseman of whom
the enemy's reports speak as having stood
in the road about half mile from Great
Bethel, and after observing the adyaRcing
column until it was within two hun Ted
yards of him, flying at the top of his speed
to warn the Confederate force Of its arri-
val, its numbers, its disposition, its guns.
etc. Several shots were fired at him, and
the enemy believed. that he was killed, as
he was seen TO fall down on bis horses
neck. Scott did lie close TO his horses
neck, but a Texas ranger or Comanche
warrior could easily teach the enemy what
that was for.
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Scott is
! in all respects an accomplished guerriliere,
and if guerrilla corps should be formed
| for the war along the Virginia border, be
is the man of all men to be its chieftain.
In person, Mr.. Scott is about five feet
nine inches high, with rather ford and
full face-regular, and, when in repose,
almost feminine features dark gray eyes
brown, wavy hair; broad shoulders, full
chest. and body from neck to ankle, far
from lean and angular, yet not soft and
rounded to degree of obesity. Phys.
iologicaly, | should pronounce his or
ganization an admirable compound of the
vital and motive systems. His dress in
camp, and on the road for scouting service
| differs little from that which a young
Louisiana planter of elegant tastes would
wear ia walk down Canal street. His
arms at present consist of a breach.load'
ing carbine, Colts revolver, and a
bowie'knife.

A SPEcULATIoE.-A correspondent of
the Fredericksburg Herald suggests that
the Confederate States sell their interest
in the late United States Navy to Great
Britain, with the understanding that she
demand the same in ships of war; The
idea is not bad one. We paid our full
proportion to the building of that navy,
and have a good right of property in the
same, and may lawfully dispose of it,
We can afford TO sell to England or France

purchaser shall Immediately reduce the
property to possession. Let those Powers
