TREMENDOUS HAUL OF TEIECRAsie
MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE AGAINST
TRAITORS


AT precisely o'clock Monday afterpoo,, h.,
order of the government, descent was n,.J,
by the United States Marshas upon evprv
considerable telegraph Office throughout the
free states, and the accumulated dispatches of
the twelvemonth past were seized. The oh
ject was to obtain evidence of the operations
of the southern rebels with their northern ac-
completes, which the confidential kilograms
passing between them could most certainly
furnish.
The seizures in all the principal cities were
made at precisely the same time, so as To pre-.
vent the destruction of evidence which might
have followed the receipt of a warning from
any particular point. The whole matter was
managed with the greatest secresy, and so
well planned that the project was a complete
success. BY this bold maneuver the govern.
mcnt has obtained posses sion of a mass of ev
denee of the greatest Importance. The secret
operations OF the northern traitors are laid
bare and those who have aided aud abetted
the rebellion are now completely at the mercy
of the officers OF the law
In this city alone the dispatches in the hands
of the federal officers amount to many thou
sands, and include, Of course, information in
regard to the purchase OF arms, ammunition
and equipments, purchase and outfit OF YES
sells, diplomatic and financial arrangem ents,
the negotiation OF rebel loans, tue purchase
and treachery OF army and ravy officers, the
secret plans for dividing the people OF the
north, the progressive operations OF govern
ment toward suppreSslng the rebellion, and
every other Imaginable species of testimony
which the PIRATES OF the Gulf" would wish
kept secret. To overhaul such mountain
of papers as this will require some time and
much trouble but the work, in the hands of
an efficient marshal or superintendent of po-
lice, will be promptly, tearlessy, and thorough.
ly prosecuted.

ELEGANT STEAMERs.-Fhe work upon the
two new steamers City OF Boston and City OF
New York, of the Norwich ami Worccslcriin line
between New York aud Boston, it is expected,
will be ready at an early day for an engineers
trial trip. Steam was applied to her engines
on wednesday last, and resulted very satist;lc-
torily 10 all concerned. The dimensions of
the steamer are as follows: Length of deck,
3l5 feet; breadth Of beam, 40 feet breadth
over all, - feet; depth Of hold, II feet and
6 inches; length of stroke, u feet diameter
of the wheels, SO feet and inches The hull
is divided into four water-ight compartments,
as precautionary measure in case pi collision,
&c. 1t is built as strong as iron and wood can
make 1t, new principle OF combining diagonal
iron braces with the wooden frame being n
troduced. In this case the diagonal iron
braces are fastened on the outside of
the frame work, and beneath the plank
ing, which plan, 1t is believed, will add
very much to the strength of the vessel.
She is being fitted up III elegant style, with no
less than one hundred family and uther state
rooms, besides having sleeping accommoda.
tons for 400 other passengers in the lower
saloons. The engines are of immense power
tor the size OF the steamer, and, as the hull is
OF the most beautiful model, il is expected she
will be very fast vessel, and capable of GO
ing through Long Island Sound in any wealth.
er. The most complete arrangements for
heating the state rooms by steam have been
provided. The steamer City of New York
will, in every respect of dimensions, model,
power, and finish, correspond exactly with the
City of Boston. They have been built ac-
cording TO the ideas and under the superin,
tendence of Capt. j. j. Comstock, formerly Of
the Collins line of steamships, president OF the
company The City of Boston will be under
the command of Capt VIM. Wilcox of the
steamer Connecticut, and the CITY Of New
York will be commanded by Capt. Jewett, late
of the steamer Bay State.
These steamers will depart from and arrive
at the new pier, foot OF Vestry street, two
blocks below Canal street, New York, while
the eastern terminus of the route will be at
New London, instead OF Ayn's Point, as at
present AT New London, new wharf, seven
hundred feet long, and new passenger and
freight depot, three hundred feet long, are be-
ing built, and are to be ready for use by the
LIST OF July next. The new terminus will pos
sess several important advantages over the old
one, especially III winter, when, in case of the
weather being too boisterous on the Sound for
steamers to leave, the passengers for New York
can proceed, without loss Of time, by the rail
road route, should they desire To do so, which
cannot be done from Allyn's Point. The Nor

WISCONSIN.

Gov. Randalls short and vigorous message
to the legislature of Wisconsin, is one of the
refreshing documents of the time. Passing
briefly over the causes OF the present difficult
ties, lie recommends the immediate equip
ment of six regiments OF volunteers, the pur
chase OF ritled cannon, the appropriation of
one million dollars and all necessary measures
for prosecuting the war with unfagging en-
ergy. The troops furnished by Wisconsin
will probably be used for the western service.
Of the navigation of the western waters, Gov.
Randall says -
at is a matter of absolute necessity not
only for the northern border states but for the
northwestern states to be able to control the
business and commerce of the Ohio river and
the Upper Mississippi. in order TO reach vital
part of this rebelIi0n They must be able to
cut off from the seeding states all supplies of
breadstuis, aP6d also 10 stop the transit and
transportation of arms or munitions of war.
An enemy<to our common government cannot
be pernIdted to hold an important point like
Cairof The Mississippi and 0hio rivers must
be Kept at all times open to the legitimate and
honest commerce of the northwest. st. Louis
must be strengthened in the hands of the Union
men of Missouri, not only because it is just
that il should be so. but because the interests
of the tree territories west and northwest of
that city demand it. The vast lumber and
mineral interests of Wisconsin, independent
OF her commanding produce and stock trade,
bind her fast the north border and northwest
ern states, and demand, like them, the free
navigation Of the Mississippi and all its tribu.
taries, from their highest navigab.e waters 10
their mouths"
OF the purpose of the war, the Governor
gives utterance to the emphatic aud inmove-
able patriotism of the northwest, as follows =
'rhe people will never consent to any ces
sation of the war, forced so wickedly upon US
until the traitors are hung or driven into an
ignominous exile. This war begun where
Charleston is-it should end where Charleston
iods. The Supreme Ruler can but smile upon
the efforts OF the law loving, goyernment-lov-
ing. liberty loving people of this land, in re
sisilng the disruption of this Union. These
gathering armies are instruments of His ven
geance, to execute His judgments-they are
His fails, wherewith, on Gods great southern
thresling foor, He will pound rebellion for its
sins"

The representative of the English press has

sador he could not have received more fat
tering reception. He will have an interview
with the president to day, but it is presumed
that, since he is not invested with plenipoten-
tiary powers, the object of his visit is merely
to be the recipient Of executive hospitality.

Terrorism in NHcmphis--TPOOps Moving To-
Mnrhn COLUMBIAN.


From the Cairo Camp Register, May l4th.
BY the ARR al of the steamer j. D. Perry,
yesterday morning, we learn that the people
OF Memphis are utterly wild with excitement,
committing most diabolical outrages upon
every person suspected OF Union pruclivities,
or every one who is not prepared 10 rush into
their mad and damning excuses.
The Perry brought up from that and inter-
mediate points over two hundred men, women
and children who had been forced 10 flee for
their lives. Every stranger attracted by GU.
riosty to the Memphis parade grounds is
closely questioned and if his answers are not
sufficiently direct to suit the rNbble lie is
immediately impressed into military service,
warned TO leave the city, or at once beset by
the mob. In full view of the passengers Of
the Perry, on the wharf Sunday morning, a
mans head was shaved by mob for no other
reason than that lie confessed himself a Union
man; and when this outrage was committed,
one hundred dollars vas offered for the deliv-
cry into their hands Of any other person who
would confess lie entertained sentiments of q
like character
We saw and talked with a large number of
persons, who arrived by the Perry who had
been driven out of Memphis at an hours no.
tice. They were utterly destitute leaving
their bills there uncolectrd and their business
the place froIa three to five years. The talk,
there, of an attack on Cairo, is bee ming more
general and determined Such is the case at
Vicksburg and Randolph. The steamer ii.
ID. Mears has been chartered at the former city
TO transport body OF Mississippi troops 10
Memphis; and on Wednesday evening five
hundred Memphis troops will move to Column
bus per steamer Ingomar. This item is Civ
en- as wholly reliable.
There are six guns at Randolph two 80
Founders and four 6-pounderS, and thirteen
hundred men. AT Fort Harris, seven miles
above, there are eighty men with three guns.
The breast works at this point consist of
brick wall running parallel with the river, six
teen feet long, four feet thick, with wings
slipping back at an angle of about 80 degrees.
The walls are strengthened in the rear by en-
bankments Of sand. This iorlGcalion is deem.
ell so nearly impregnabe by the valorous
eighty, says our informant, that, trusting more
to strength than their own skill and activity,
they are almost constantly INDUCING in scenes
of drunken carousal.
