Outcry against New York being Ovsrrun

In the New York Legislature on the 22d, says
the New York Herald, Mr. Fisher, Of Cheuaugo
county, presented a petition to the Legislature,
asking that the laws in force in some Of the
Western States against the immigufi0n of
negroes be adopted in this State aud there are
several other petitions of the same kind from the
interior Of the State awaiting an opportunity to
be presented There is evidently I'm the rural
districts a vast amount Of anxiety lest the State
should be oveTrun with the eTnaucipaled blacks,
and the feeling is particularly strong among the
labOTing classes. Such are some Of the practical
results OF the agitation of the aboli;ionsts.
They have sOwn the wind, and now they are
reaping the whirlwiud They i.te knew what
would be the effect of their morbid philanthropy

selves. and deep and bitter viii bc the curses
heaped upon their heads for dis urb.ng the white

anuPathy to amalgamatiOu, and do not feel at

The DIerrimac-lIOuitOr AGair in France.

The French journals, with their accustomed
slowness, are just getting at the force Of the
naval battle between the Merimac and the
Monitor. Their comments, as q general rule.
contain nothing particularly original The Jour
nal des Debats closes a review of the affair as
follows. Some valuable hints may possibly be
derived from this closing paragraph
To speak truth, we should como TO no too
positive conclusion, either for or against the
plates OF the artillery with which we ought to pro
vide ourselves in Europe. The results would
certainly have been entirely different if the Mer-
rimac or the Monitor, when so closely engaged,
had at their sides, even one of the pieces which
are used upon the Gloire, which are loaded at the
breach, and which discharge projectiles Of forty
five kilogrammes (ab0ut hundred pounds) with
a charge OF powder Of seven and @ half kjlO-
grammes and which would infalhbly pierce the
plates at distance of forty yards These same
results would also have been very different if one
of the adversanes had been armed with one of
the cannons which have recently been expert
mented upon in 0uT polygons, ana which have

THE FIGHT Or FRIDAY AT CO.
RFNTH.

From gentleman who left Corinth on Satur-
day evening, and who is in position to know
the facts, we learn that the results Of the skir-
mish on Friday nay be summed up as follows
We drove the entire force of the Yankees be.
fore US like frightened sheep
Fifteen OF twenty of the enemy's dead were
left on the field, and about the same number of
wounded. Their total loss, as reported by sn
officer who was captured, is estimated at two
hundred, besides some seventy prisoners.
We destroyed telegraph Office at Farming
ton, which extended to Pittsburg and Hamburg
and theuce to the cities of the East.
We destroyed bridge over the Seven Mile
creek, across which the Yankees made their exit,
and burned 8 small amount Of cotton which was
toand in gin house.
Several wagon loads of knapsacks, blankets,
provisions, etc, etc, were also among the cap
sures.
Our loss was fifteen killed and about fifty
wounded. Among the latter are Major INGRAM
and Capt. LEFTwITCH, of Gen. yAE DoRN's
stat, both of whom are not expected to live.
The force of the enemy was composed of two
brgades, being portion of Gen Pores divis-
len, who occupy the left wing of the Federal
army.
The sctual force engaged on our side was not
more than three thousand, and majority did
not Ere more than one volley before the Yankees
were in full retreat. We had in the fight two
batteries, one commanded, it is believed by Capt.
FELIX ROBINSON, and the other by Capt DU-
CATTELLE, both of which sustained the brunt of
the four hours conflict.
The troops under arms, liable to be called into
action on our right, belonged to BRACES corps,
and were under command of the following d.
vision Genersls-YAN Dorm, RUGGLEs, RA-
PIER, and PRICE. The fighting was done under
the direction and with the troops of the two for
mer But for single cOntrstsmps by which one
oi our generals failed to get into position as
signed hun. we should have bagged the entire
Federal detachment. As it is we have taught
them severe lesson, driven them from an i'm
portant base of operations, from which they ex-
pected to make demonstrations on the Mobile
aud Ohio railroad, and prevented the continu-
anee Of the reeonnoisances in which the Federals
have Systematically been engaged
On Saturday the probability Of a renewal of
nos6lities before Thursday or Friday of this
week was very slight though it is not likely
that the enemy viii be satisfied to let the shame
ful whipping they received 90 unavenged.

BThe Richmond Elig says Let no man
in the Overrun country or captured city abate
a jot of heart or hope" Let him, like the Coun-
Gil Of fredericksburg, say Il demand that
protection of private property that the law of ma
tions gives, but I do not acknowledge your su-
thority. I reserve and avow my allegiance
to the Confederate government" This spirit
will render the temporary success Of the enemy
of no value. If they basely violate the laws of
humanity, they teach US more the folly of sub
mission. If they do not the country in their
possession will compel the detachment of troops
which viii diminish the ability Of the enemy to
defeat our forces

COZ: mORGAN,s REPORTED DEATH

We publish accounts from Northern papers
MORGAN, the famous partisan warrior, encoun-
tered defeat near Lebanon, in this State, on
the 9th inst, which was supposed to have result
ed in his death. We are enabled, we think, to
stamp this information as a cock and bull
story +" of the first water. We credibly learn
that gentleman, who arrived in this city yester-
day, left Col. MORGAN and his command safe
some distance this side of Pulaski, on the 9th
ust, two days later than his reputed disaster.
The caHaTd is doubtless manufactured out Of
whole cloth as an offset to MORGAN's successful
exploit at Pulaski on the LIST inst
