The Mcclellan left Hilton Head on
Thursday night, and brings the mail aud
dispatches from Gen. Sherman and Com
modore Dupont.
The health of the troops was excellent.
The Port Royal advices state that old

most certain that Is will not be commute
Gated TO Congress till Tomorrow.
The Madrid correspondent. recently re-
eeived here, contains the following para
graPh, which shows the Griendllness Of the
feeling between the Spanish Government
and the Church party OF Mex1eo:
yesterday took place the long an
nounced visit 70 her Majesty, the Queen,
by Gen. Miramon, ex-President Of Mexico.
Our August Sovereign received him with
her usual amiability, as did also the King,
her husband, who was seated at her side.
The conversation lasted for more than a
quarter Of an hour"
From an Intelligent source Il seems there
IS some foundation fSr the report that Queen
Isabella had made secret treaty with KIM
Peror Napoleon, eeding TO him the Boleat
Islands, providing he will assist her in her
designs against Mexico.

SroRY.-lt will be remembered that some
time ago we published an account of ;,
double murder. in which it was stated that
three secessionists, named Pierson, stmons
and Cunningham, had seized and shot two
Union men in Lewis conoty. The Govern
or, upon what was considered good author
ity, offered reward of SsOOfor the arrest
of the murderers, aud the three men
above named were accordingly arrested
and lodged in jail at BGekhAnuon. 1t now
turns out that Pierson, Simons and Cum
niugham were Union men, and belonged to
a Home Guard, of which one TomIison
was captain. Tomltson ordered PieFsOn
and the rest ~ go aud arrest Wn- Brake
and two others, and directed them, in case
the prisoners should attempt TO escape, to
shoot them. The prisoners were accord
ingly seized, and whilst being taken to
camp made an attempt to escape, and were
cred upon whilst running Brake and an-
other were killed, and SO started the story
of the diabolical murder. We understand
