col. BATE AND HON. X. Ely.

A correspondent Of the Christian Allocate
OF this city furnishes the following account Of
an interview between Col. Bate and the Hon.
Aired Ely, at the time the latter was taken
prisoner:
saw a dense crowd, and walked toward it.
Within were MANY prisoners, sitting, lying,
walking about; some sad, and others snlleD;
some evidently uneasy, others apparently quite
Indifferent, and here and there one affecting
mirth and popularity. There were several Of
Wilson's cut-thrOat gang, and three of Els
worth's Zouayes. The latter said they did
net know whether another Of their number
had escaped death, but believed themselves the
only survivors. There was a little man, with
a wicked, wolish look, as restless as a hyena
in a cage. Ii was the Hon. Alfred Ely, mem
Der of congress from Rochester, New York.
Our Capt. Clusky, having been acquainted
with him ia Washington, stepped up and took
his hand. Most piteously the prisoner implor-
ed the interposltlon in bis behalf OF a man
whom, a few hours before, be would gladly
have seen slaughtered Cap. G.. introduced
him to our gallant colonel.
"Your servant, Col. Bate" said the prison
er, bJwing obsequiously. "I am glad TO meet
you. You see ] am in a bad TX"
eyes, sir,' said the colonel; "you are, for a
member Of congress, in a very bad TX"
"But You see,o reioined the honorable gen
tleman, throwing open the breast Of his coat,
81 am Unarmed nothing but a pen knife no
uniform merely spectator came out with
Senator Foster to see the battle but ~unfortu-
nately v~entured too far, and was taken.0
"Mr. Ely" replied the colonel, ga battle
field is no place for a civilian. You are a
member of congress, sir, and the representative
of at least ninety thousand people. And do
YOU think yourself a cypher in a scene like
this? No, sir ; the moral influence Of your
presence was worth a hundred soldiers to our
enemies. Are you a lawyer, Mr.. Ely?o
eyes, sill" said MIR. Ely, "I an a lawyer.o
"Then, sir,7 Col. B.. continued, "you know
that by your presence you are aiding and abet-
ting this cruel and bloody assault upon us. It
is a principle Of law which you are accus-
toned to recognize elsewhere, and which you
are obliged to acknowledge here"
He assentsd with sheepish look, and con-
tinued his absurd apology, which the colonel
thus cut short:
"Mr. Ely, we are glad to see you here. We
want you with us, and cannot consent to part
with you so soon. There are men at Wash.
ington for whom we may be willing to ex-
change you hereafter if, indeed, you should
not be hanged as you deserve.o

A letter from Delhi, La, to the Vicksburg

A letter from Delhi, La, to the Vlcksburg
Wing, says:
was in Memphis a few days ago, and here
met two Of our planters Oh their way to Rich
mond, Va, MIR. s.. L. Chambliss and John H.
Martin. Each Of those gentlemen had a son
in the army. Chambliss' soH was in a com-
pany FROM Clinton, Miss, and Martins son
was in the Tiger Bayou Rifles from this parish
(Carroll.) They informed me that the object
Of their mission was to look after their song.
Both of them are pTeverbial for their great lib
crafty and patriotism. They remarked that
all they regretted was that they did not have
as much money as they wanted to enable them
TO contribute to the wants and comforts of our
brave volunteers, who so noblv defended our
country and flag at Manassas. They said that
they would remain and nurse them all, and
spend the last cent they could raise or borrow.
A gentleman sitting by, who overheard them,
got up and went to the Office. where be asked
the clerk for some paper, and in a few minutes
be returned and handed Mr.. Chsmbliss a note,
r%emarking as he did so: "Gentlemen, | have
heard your conversation; here is a check you
can make use of in your praiseworthy under
taking" The check was opened, and found
TO be for five thousand dollars on the Planters
bank Of Nashville, Tennessee. The patriotic
donor was James II. Wilson, Of Tennessee.
Mr.. Wilson has a plantation in this parish
and enc in Madison, and now has q son under
Pillow at New Madrid.

WHERE Is MCDOWELL.

One Of the most mysterious circumstances
Of The times is the utter reticsnce Of the north
srR kilograms and presses, in reference to the
whereabouts Of General Mcdowell since the
defeat Of the "grand armyn at Manassas. It
was merely announced that be had been super
sided by MCCLELLAN, but no further intelli-
gsncs has been given in references to him.
This matter possesses some Significance from
TIE fact Of his having been reported mortally
wounded on the day OF the battle by two sspa-
rate dispatches, one from Washington and the
other from Richmond. This looks suspicious.
Let some Of the northern papers tell US what
has become Of Mcdowell.

important from Northern Mexico.

From the Galveston News, July 27.l
The Fort Brown Flag, of the 11th, says of
the result Of our friend Quintsro's mission to
Governor Vadaurri:
J. S. Quintero, commissioner from the Con-
federate States to the States Of Nuevo Leon
ana Choahuila, returned to this city on Sunday
from Monterey. Mr. QuiHtero had long and
confidential interviews with Gov. Vidaurrf Of
Nuevo Leon, and with Senior Roias, secretary
Of State, in which the position Of this frontier
and of the relations hereafter to enlist between
the Southern Confederacy ana Euev0 Leon,
were the subjects Of communication: and we
are informed that Gen. Yidaurri has expressed
tae greatest friendship for the South, and de-
clares it to be his intention to preserve the
peace Of the Rio GTande frontier with a. the
forces at bis command.
Gov. VidauTri has so perfected the military
and political organization Of the State Of
Nueyo Leon, that he can at any time take the
field with two thousand well appointed troops.
and the parislIty with which he has at all
times treated our people, and the friendship
which be has alWavs manifested toward the
State of Texas, justihes US in the assertion that
the Confederate States have gained an ally Of
great Importance in Vidaurri.
The Flag has the following important To-
formation
The States Of Nuevo Leon and Zacatecas
have seeded from the government OF Mexico,
and a treaty has been entered into betH eeJ
Gov. Ortega and Gov. Vidaurri to work to-
gether; whatthe purpose of the league or treaty
is no one knows.
Ex.President Comonfort b.s left Browns
vile for Monterey.

MOVEMENTS or THE EEEMY.-On yester-

took of more Of their three months men from
that place. They left there this morning.
1t is said that there are many more tents
pitched between Fortress Monroe and Hamp-

and it is believed by some that the enemy is
moving away a portion Of their forces from
Newport News to that place, owing to sick

Wal NEws.-The most important news re-

Newport News by the federal troops. This is
probably authentic. Our correspondent states
that steamers were removing troops from that
place on Sunday. Regarding the movements
Of eur own army on the peninsula, we have
some information, which we do not deem it
prudent to publish.
Gen. Wise's brigade is at White Sulphur
Springs, and comfortably CHARTERED in that
pleasant locality. Capt. o. Jennings Wise, Of
the Richmond Blues, arrived here Yesterday,
and reports the troops in good health.

PAYMENT or TReoPs.-We much regret to
see that congress has voted down a. resolution
providing for the payment of our troops
monthly. Nothing can be more discoura ging
to the soldier than uncertainty with respect to
the time when he will receive bis money.
Three months volunteers, who have returned
from the war, still remain unpaid, and tie
loudest and bitterest complaints are made by
men, who might have gladly re-enlisted, but
for the discomfort which has thus been created.
The French system of paying men in canton
ments every ten days, is perhaps the veIy best
that could be devised, and we hope its adop-
ton in this country will be ultimately secured.

the battle field at Manassas on the 21st ult,

came on and the old captain having been in
vited by Gen. Holmes to take position as a

horse and plugged into the fight as a young

prisoners and roped them into camp. As a
