Provisions are advancing in price in the
the fortunes of all the small produce dealers,
unless they are compelled to sell for State
and Confederate bonds. In North Carolina,
last week, bacon went up three cents per
pound, in consequence of Georgians coming
to purchase, and -four went up from 81 so
to So per barrel. In Georgia corn cannot
be purchased even at 50 per bushel, so short
is the supply. In North Carolina butter is
from so to IS cts per 10, AMI salt is exceed
ingly scarce.

THE INEVITABLE SIXTH-The Baltimore
American thinks this celebrated Massachu-
sets regiment is superior to any other
in the country. Energetic and gentleman
ly, they are discouraged at no obstacle, and
laugh at impossibilities. Always in good
humOr, the men submit to all kinds OF
fatigue with the greatest cheerfulness.
Whether it be TO repel furious mob in the
streets Of Baltimore or throw up entrench-
ments in pelting rain at the Relay House,
they are the same lively watchful boys
We see they have the further honor of cap
turing the celebrated Z" steam gum" manu-
featured in Baltimore for the use of the
rebels, and also secured the inventor. Good

UNFORTUNATE TENNEssEE.-The Legisla-
ture of Tennessee have sown the seed to
produce a rich harvest of woe for the peo-
pie of that Inflated State Entirely ignor-
log all constitutional authority, and disre-
garding the wishes of the people, as indi-
Gated at special election for delegates to a
State Convention, the Legislature has form
ed an alliance with the Confederate States,
and virtually transferred-so far as unau-
thorized action on their part can do 1.-THE
people to the tender mercies of JEFF. Davis
& Co. Steps are being taken to suppress
every appearance of dissatisfaction on the
Eao7rt e tho people 60 tiIis higlI-handed out
rage, and to make solemn mockery of the
election set apart for the 8th day of June
next. A systematized persecution is to be
commenced against the Union men, who
will either be forced to leave the State
or acknowledge the propriety and validity of
the acts fthe usurping legislature Already
hundreds are flying to the Northern States
for protection. The voting in June is to be
by edga Voce so that those who desire to re-
main in the Union may be so overawed by
the mob which will collect around every
ballot box, as to not vote at all or vote for
the State to secedo. Such is the game the
leaders of the present revolution in tbat
State design playing. But they will be
most signally foiled.
There are many hundreds in Tennessee
who have not bowed the knee to Baal John

never quail before the storm, and they will
nave the whole power of the United States
Government. to aid them in maintaining
their rights If the attempt is made to
drive them from the State, the Admiuistra-
ton will see to it that the attempt is fras-
trated- Already it has pledged itself to

DIsBANDED.-The company which was
organized by Fred. Sharpe, of our city, and
rendered to the Governor, was not accepted,
and consequently was disbanded yesterday
afternoon. We regret that Fred. failed to
get his company in, as he has been to con-
siderable expense, and had 20 odd names on
his muster roll.
Since writing the above, we understand
that the company still remain in Camp Ba-
ker, and are doing well.

THE CONDITION OF EvANsvILLE.-A let
ter received yesterday by a gentleman in
this city, from a reliable source, represents
business there as almost stagnant, except in
groceries and produce. The city is filled
with Southerners, many of whom are sus-
pected as spies and ready to aid marauding
or openly attacking parties. The people
are anxiously awaiting the arrival of troops
from Indianapolis. They live in dread of
an attack at any time from parties south of
the river. Col. Wallace's Zouaves were or
dered to that point, it seems, none too soon.

THE FRONTIER GUARDs.-This home COM
pany, under the command of Capt. Haney,
were out yesterday afternoon, with full
ranks, headed by the German band. The
men are all robust, and intelligent, and if
called upon to rally around the old flag,
would do great damage to its assailants.-
They are all laboring men, and, like the
Massachusetts men, could whip a Baltimore
mob, or fit up a broken-down locomotive.

Freaks of ElIsVvOrth's ZOuaves-A
Pleasant Prospect for the Rebels.
| A Washington correspondent of the
| Philadelphia Press writes:
| The New York Zouaves under command
of Col Ellsworth, OF Illinois have created
good deal of CONSERVATION in our CITY of
Magnificent Distances. They have had two
days of extensive, expensive, and extreme
| fight, fun, and frolic. They have broken
into taverns, terrified old ladies, ordered
dinners and suppers which they had the
| lmpudence to request their victims to CHARGE
to that bankrupt concern the Southern Con
| fedeTacy, and performed many other ir-
Teverent feats. They now occupy the new
| Hall of the House of Representatives, from
which their aristocratic predecessors, the
New York Seventh Regiment, retired to
encounter the cold rain storm of Friday
and Saturday; and in order not to be be-
hind the Representatives of the people, thew
yesterday improvised House of Represents
tives, elected a speaker, clerk, aud other
officers, went into full session, dissolved the
Union and then wound up the joke by going
into Executive session, after the model of the
Senate, and in obedience 10 the examnIe
of Senator Mason, of Virginia. ordered the
galleries to be cleared, which was ruthless
ly effected, although that part of the build-
ing was occupied by some of their tired and
sleepy companions, seeking a few hours
rest After walking the parapets of the
Capitol, rifle on shoulder, leaping fences.
knocking down sentinels turning aside in
dignant bayonets, hanging like monkeys
from the outer lodges or the dome, some
two hundred feet above the firm set earth.
to everybody's horror, they have been
brought up with round turn by an old
gentleman at the other end of the avenue,
named Winfield Scott, speaking through
quiet gentleman in charge of the Capitol.

The vessels are tied to the wharves, and

G9En A correspondent of the New York
Herald says the Virginians are armed with
revolvers and bowie knives, besides their
guns, and they say that if they find the ri.
hes of the Northern forces deadly they will
rush in with their knives to close quarters.
We were under the impression, since the
Pryor and Potter difficulty, that Virginians
considered fighting with knives barbar-
ous."

B25@ The following is the conclusion of
the dispatch in relation to the capture OF
Gen. Frost's Brigade, in St. Louis, which we
failed to get on Friday night:
The prisoners were released on parole,
both officers and troops promising they
would take an oath not to take up arms
against the United States Government,
which they declined on the ground that it
implied they had already taken up arms
against the Government, which they dis
claimed
Just before the troops started for the city,
and while the State forces were drawn up
between two lines of volunteers several
rocks were thrown at the volunteers and a
few pistols were fired by excited parties in
the surrounding crowd, which was composed
of large number of citizens, including
many women. One shot took effect in the
leg of Capt. Blantowski, and as he fell, he
gave the word to fire, which was obeyed by
some two or three companies, resulting in
the death of upwards of twenty persons, in
Guiding two women, several children, and
badly wounding several others.
The following are the only names ofthose
killed which can be ascertained tonight
Walter Mcdowell, Thos. A. Mareu, Nicholas
hnoDlacki Emmy SUMMERS, pTOoaDly fatally
wounded Claiborne Wilson, and Trumon
Wright.
Intense excitement exists in the city.
Large bodies of men are thronging the
streets.
The Democrat and Anaeiger offices have
been threatened by the mob, but through
the promptness of the Chief of Police, Nc
Donough, any violent demonstrations thus
far, have been prevented.
All the gun shops in the city are guarded
by armed police, and about two hundred
men have been detailed TO protect the Dem
ocrat and Anzeiger Offices
The lateness of the hour precludes the
possibility of getting any more reliable in
formation tonight

The Illinois and Cairo Programme.


The Memphis Bulletin of Sunday says;
We have Just seen most intelligent gen.
tleman from Springfield, the place forever
infamous for having furnished the LAST
President of the United States. The lead
ing men in Springfield have already arrang-
ed all matters for the complete subjugation
of the valley of the Mississippi. By the
close of the week there will be twenty five
thousand troops in Cairo, and a reserve at
hand of twenty thousand. The immense
wharfbOat at Cairo is to be converted into a
floating battery, and the Alton City, and
i've other boats, are to take this one in tow,
with the vanguard of twenty-five thousand
strong, to capture all the Notifications on
the Mississippi, the location and strength of
each of which is said to be perfectly known
to the officers at Cairo.
The fort of Randolph is to be assailed by
land and water. The topography of the
country and roads back of Randolph have
been mapped and furnished to the leaders
of the expedition. The reserve guard of
Cairo will take possession of Randolph and
other fortified points. while the feet of
boats with twenty-five thousand men will
proceed to Memphis. This city is to be pill
Jagged and garrisoned, and then the invading
horde of plunderers goes down the river,
landing at different points, calling for aid,
and issuing proclamations, melting rebel
lion, midnight conhagrations, and laying
waste the country At Vicksburg serious
resistance is anticipated, but plan of at
lacking the city in the rear has already
been devised.
At New Orleans the Northwestern troops
are to be met by fifty thousand men from
the blockading feet The Crescent City is
to be given up TO the soldiers for rapine,
pillage, and plumber. Here the marauding
army is to be rewarded for all its tolls and
I dangers. Beauty and booty" will again
be the war-cry of armed hosts, who would
desolate the peerless city of the South.
We publish the above facts as stated to us
by a reliable, trustworthy Illinoisan, whom
we know to be largely interested in land
and slaves in Mississippi He believed every
word we have written, and we know of To-
thing calculated to make us doubt that he
| has defined with the utmost exactitude the
! plans and purposes of those among whom
he has spent the last month in Springfield
