u.uaJS Avn THE TRANSFER
w. -. - HWY.

~ - n u ~
A great many vague and indefinite runors
have been current recently in regard to an
alleged Misunderstanding between Governor
Hams and the authorities of the Confederate
Government, touching the subject of transfer
rinr the Provisional Army Of Tennessee under
the late enactment OF the Safe legislature.
70 place himself in 2 proper light before the
nnblic. and to correct these totally unfOunded
runors. the governor has ssen proper to pat
Iish a card (to be found in our columns this
morning. directed TO the editors Of the fra
laneRs. whose comments upon the matter, in a
late editorial. have been of such a character
as to elicit 1t.
Il will be seen, in the first place, that there
has besp no conflict whatever between bis ex-
eellencv and the Confederate States upon this
subiset. but that the transfer is now in pro-
grssz Of completion, an agent being.at Rich
mond for that purpose. We have, on the other
hand, Gov. HARRIs' positive assurance that
the greatest possible harmony prevails be-
tween himself and The officials Of the Confed-
crate Government.
Nor has any condition precedent been de-
manded to this transfer, to the effect that tie
present army appointments should remain IN
disturbed by the Confederate authorities,
though the governor has very properly insisted
upon the improperly and injustice Of making
changes, except for manifest reasons. And
we NAV add that our adviees from Richmond
SO far Indicate that be need entertain ne sP-
prshensions Of any other than a wise and eau
tious policy being adopted upon TIA. score.
The protest. however, against his " aP-
pointeeE being superseded has not been a die
t~storlal one, but Of scarcely a more imPers-
tive nature than a request.
The delay in making this transfer has
been occasisned BY other causes than those
alleged BY rumor and journalistic surmise. TIE
welfare Of some twenty-five thousand men, and
more than two millions Of dollars in money,
are involved in the matter, which render it Of
such magnitude as to require for its consum-
nation more than the work Of a day. It has
taken time to negotiate terms, and to cone to
some proper understanding in regard to the
construction to be pu: upon certain parts Of
the military league passed by the legislature,
All these difficulties, we fear, have not beer
sufficiently considered.
L is sufficiently satisfactory, however, fol
TIE public to know what the governors card
suthOritstiFsly ssserts-that tasEe is no mis-
understanding now, nor has there beer between
the authorities Of Tennessee and those Of The
Confederate government, touching the SUBJECT
to which we have alluded, in any aspect what
ever. All representations to tse contrary.
therefore, nav be taken as utterly without
foundation.

The Great speech OF Breck-
inridges

The Newark New JeTsey) Journal, pays
the following Just compliment to the recent
patriotic speech of Senator Breckenridge, in
the United States senate. Though surrounded
by the bayOnets Of forty thousand federsls,
his manly voice rang out in trumpet tones in
rebuke Of the president, and bis usurpa-
tons
THE VOICE OF A PATRIoT.-Hon. John &c.
Breckenridge, Of Kentucky, occupied the at
tentiOn of the senate on Tuesday, in discussing
the resolution approving the unconstitutional
acts Of the president. His speech is a master
piece of logical eloqUence, Judging from the
telegTaphic abstract which has reached us. It
is a noble defense Of the constitution and the
laws, against the usuTpatiOns and tyranny Of
the executive in p~Iunging the country into a
sectional, civil war without warrant of law
or legal authority.
Mr.. Breckenridge commended that congress,
by resolution, could nOs make constitutional
what is unconstitutional by the same authori-
ty, and that such approval would be adding to
the subversi0ns Of the constitution already &C
cOmplished. So far from approving the presi-
DENTS acts, he thought that officer should be
rebuked by both houses OF congress. He re-
capitulated the various gross outTages com
mitted by the executive upon the constitutional
rights Of the people, reviewing the history Of
tie country since the 4th Of March, conciud-
ing with a reference to the numerous efforts at
compromise which had been made by conser-
vative citizens, which the south had been will
ing to accept, but which had been persistently
refused and ruled out Of order by the dominant
party.

A EEutlny at FORTRESS Monroe.
The Washington correspondent of the Balti-
nore Erchrnge. dated Monday. Save.

lie Washington correspondent OF the Balti-
more Exchange, dated Monday, says;
The streets Of the city have been thronged
all day by groups of drunken and disorderly
soldiers, who hsve been guilty Of all sorts Of
excuses without regard to either the law of the
city or the rules of modern society. Hurrah-
ing and halloOing at the top Of their voices,
rudely elbowing passengers on the foot-wsy,
including ladies', using vulgar and abusive cpl
thets to their comrades and to citizens, are
some OF the milder sorts of amusement pursued
by the bordes now suartered in and about the
city.
There will shortly be a large number Of re-
movsls in the interior department; the greatest
proportion are to be taken from the census de-
partraebt OF the bureau.
The mutiny at Fortress Monroe still RACES,
and troops, both regulars and volunteers, are
often insubordinate to authority. The guard
house is still packed with the revolters. Gen.
Butler has issued orders that no intoxicating
liquors be dispensed to the men.
Col. William Percher Miles, formerly mayor
OF Charleston, and member OF the late con-
gress Of United States, is at Manassas, where
he is acting as principal aid-de-camp to Gen.
Beauregsrd. Col Miles is also a member
elect to the Richmond Congress.
The administration is about to call into ser
vice all the sound and fast sailing vessels from
Boston and New York, to be commanded by
regularly commissioned officers.

THE BATTLE at CARTHAGE, MS.
SQERE.

We see It stated that Col. HUoHEs, Of the
First regiment Of Missouri State Guard, has
furnished he St. Louis press with an account
of this battle, fought, as will be remembered,
on the 9TH Of July. It is represented as being
an obstinate, desperate affair, continuing from
Il O'Clock in he morning until dark. The
State troops lost fifteen killed and forty wound
ed, including several officers. The aseertained
loss Of the federaIs was $50 killed and 300
wounded, a cannon, baggage and horses.
In the flair on the North Missouri railroad,
near Millville station, there were q Of the
federal troops killed. There was a complete
understanding In that neighborhood not to per-
nit tne passage Of the Unlted States troops
over the road.

4 Nnma.

We take the following items Of news from
the Fort Smith daily TINES of the 14th, 10Th
and 10th instant
a regiment Of Choctaws and Chickasaws
are encamped at Sehullyville c. N, under CON-
mand Of Gen. D. H. Cooper.
Several Cherokees, friends to the South, were
in town on Saturday. They say they have been
forced to leave the nation by the Pin Indians.
They left here for camp Walker.
The Texas regiment, we learn, crossed Red
river last Thursday, and may be looked for in
the course of this week OF early next week.
We learn that Gen. McCuIloch has taken
position with the confederate troops at Keats
vile, Mo-, where be will remain until his new
levies are organized.
Gen. Pearce remains at camp Walker. in
this State. We regret TO learn that a differ
ence Of views between these commanders pre-
vents them from acting in concert. We have
been apprehensive Of some such result, from
having two armies in the field on our frontier.
Although the Military Board has simulta-
neous with the proclamation Of Gen. McCul-
locn, called out 10000 men, which would seem
to interfere with Gen. Nc ulloch's programme
OF campaign, the people, the chivalry of the
st te, flock to the standard Of the victorious
Border Chieftain.
We hear in every direction Of troops march
ing to join Gen. McCulloch. Companies have
been hurrying to the seat Of war from all
neighborhoods of the west, and now they begin
to pour in from the west, east and south. Col.
Flanagan will start TO Join McCulloch, with
a regiment mounted and armed, on the 18th
inst. Maj. BsTland is now on his way be-
tween this post and Little Rock with a bat
talliOn of four OF five companies.
The Des Arc Citizen cf the 17th instant
gives the following
On the 1st instant the First regiment of Ar
kansas volunteers, Col. Cleburne, passed Des
Arc on the steamers Cambridge, Ohio Belle
and Mars. These boats conveyed the regiment
to its destination, and the Ohio Belle and
Mars returned here by order of Col. Cleburne,
and Gov. Rector informed that the boats were
here and subject to his orders, as the propertv
Of the State Of Arkansas.
On the 18Th Col. T. c. Hindman's regiment
arrived here on the steamers Admiral, Mary
Patterson, Conway and Sovereign. Colonel
Hindman seized the Ohio Belle and Mars in
the name of the Southern Confederacy, placed
men in charge Of them and they were sent to
Memphis. The colonel, as we learned from
Capt. A. Baird, first intended sending these
boats to Jacksonport, but changed his notion.
We shall express no opinion, through eur col
umns, in reference to this novel and strange
proceeding, as we have but little doubt that
"tbOse in authority" will take proper steps to
have the "whole transaction" properly inYes-
tigated.

II REPORTED VICTORY OF NC
CUEI0CH.

Some of our exchanges are expressing their
surprise that they hear nothing more in regard
to Gen. M~cCULLocH's recently reported veto
~ at Springfield. The reason is simple enough,
for the whole affair turns out to be a eGndrd-
without the slightest apology for a foundation.
Gov. JACKSON, Of Missouri, who spoke in our
city on Monday night last, has come from
within the vicinity of Springfield since the re-
ported period of the battle, and yet be made
no mention Of j.. The attack, according to
his statement, was only anticipated at the last
adrices receiVad.

FREEDOM OF PRAYER REPREssED IN KEY
WEsT.-The TALLAHASSEE FIoriaian says:
The schooner Dudley arrived at Tampa on
the Cd instant, with a volunteer crew, members
Of the Methodist Church at Key West, and Mr..
Davis, the Methodist preacher stationed there,
and bis wife. It seems that Mr.. Davis, on
Sunday night. 23d ult., made bis usual prayer
for the Confederate States. This did not eX-
aCtly suit the ideas Of the powers that be: ac-
cordially on Monday afternoon, while in the
church leading a class NEE ing, a file Of SOL
dieTs-s sergeant and ten msn-entered and ar
rested him by order Of Major French. He
was taken to the fort, where he demanded OF
the officer Of the day to bsve the charges
brought against him. This was refused, and
be was confined In a cell, (about four by six)
and kept there until 9 or 10 O'Clock the next
morning, when he was released on condition
that be would immsdintdly leave the island,
which be did on Friday, 28th ult.
The crew Of the Dudley had orders not to
have any communication with the citizens Of
Tampa, and MOTTO carry letters or papers from
Tampa to the citizens Of Key West.

prove interesting at this time:
Fairfax station is often COMPOUNDED with
Fairfax Courthouse. The former is situated
on the Orange and Alexandra Tailr1ad, eigh-
teen miles from Alexandria, and the Court
house or county seat of Fairfax county is a
village about fourteen miles from Alexandria
on the wagon road leading to Wsrrentoa. And
the same may be said Of Manassas Gap and
Manassas Gap Junction. The latter place is
where our soldiers are e~ncamped, and is about
twenty-seven miles from Alexandria. The
Gap is in the valley of Virginia, running
through the Blue Ridge mountains, and about
sixty miles from the Junction.

ATTACK AT A NORTH CAROLINA Inlet
Ga Wednesday morning last, an attack was
made by FIVE or six federal barges and bat
tesux, on an unfinished battery at Oregon in
let, near Roanoke island, on the North Caro-
lima coast. A number OF shot and shell were
thrown, which reached the battery, on which
a number OF persons, both white and black,
we're engaged. AS there were no guns mount
ed on the works, the colored labOrers were d.
rected TO retire out OF the way Of the shells.
Several large vessels were seen off the coast,
when the attack was made. After firing at
the earthworks, they aimed their guns at a
private dwelling, and drove out the occupants.
There were abou; rs North Carolina troops
engaged on the breastwork, under Capt. D.
Med. Lindsey, and also about seventy.fve
negroes. The soldiers posted themselves at
convenient positions to resist a landing by the
enemy.-Norfolk .ErgHs, 10th inst.

TEXAS NEWS.

The Dallas Herald Of the 10Th has the fol-
lowing
i Col. Lott declines to become a candidate for
governor, and determines to enter service as a
soldier.
For the last few days repeated showers have
fallen, enlivening vegetation and perfecting
the already heavy corn crops. Rains rave
fallen most propitiously during the whsle sea-
son, and now the corn crop will equal the
wheat, in being the most prolific for many
years.
The Houston Telegraph says that certain
sharp brokers in some parts of Texas have
been, through their agents in northern cities,
buying up claims on Texas merchants, at a
very low figure, with a view of pressing pay
meut, on the grounds that such paper in their
hands is a domestic debt. The Telegraph
thinks these Ssylocks have burned their fingers
in the operation.
