The French Naval Denomination In tn o
s5sse61 .46 wFar1 Gulf s5a

Tonion Juue 2o) correspondence of the London Times
sp may be permitted to say that l know not
at what end to begin to describe the more than
ordinary activity displayed in this port in ex-
ecuting the commands of the Minister of Ma
rine. He desires that the first division with
reinforcements for Mexico shall sail on the
23d of June and if the ships do not weigh
anchor on that day it will certainly not bethe
fault of the naval authorities. We are be-
ginning to comprehend, from the thousands of
dispatches which have succeeded each other
night and day for the last forty y-eight hours,
that the expedition is to sail in three divisions,
which will comprise seven screw ships-of-the-
line and as many frigatos or large transports.
/ have only occasion to mention. one fact in
order to give you an idea of the activity which
prevails. While the ships-of-the-l Imperial
and St. Louis were approaching their anchor
ing ground, and were still under steam, light
ers were sent alongside OF .hen and they began
to land their guns and q slficient number of
officers snd seamen to naTigate two more ships.
In the course of twelve hours all was conclnd-
ed and half the crew of the Imperial were
Transferred to the Fontenoy, and half the crew
of the st. Louis to the Souverain. Each ship
is to have on board two captains, four heuten-
ants and 4S0 men. There are not sufficient
surgeons to be procured. A dispatch from
Bastin announces that the steam cutter Averne,
of 40 horse power, was forced to take shelter
| in that port from hurricane on the night of
the 18th. This news did not astonish us, for
the lnistral has been blowing with great vio-
lence for the last five days, and while dis
patch informs us that it is blowing fresh from
/ the northeast in the Gulf of Genoa, there is 8
hurricane from the northwest in the Gulf Of
/ Lyons. It is said that the Fontenoy is to re-
ceive general officer on board, but his name
has not trsnspired. 1t is further reported thil
morning that the screw ship -of-the-line CAST
i gIione is also to be recalled from Algiers tx
convey troops to Mexico.

lditOr and Proprietor


MELvILLE, Mo-, July 9.
Times in this section are beginning to assume
something of the state previous to the rebel
hon. The mails are being started on nearly
all the routes. This will do much to diffuse
through the country the condition of things
in other States, as the newspapers, the recor-
ders OF events, win be circulated, and place
before the people facts, of which they have
been ignorant, and the absence of which has
kept many on the rebel side, who would other
wise not have been there.
Quiet seems to be gradually dawning, and
Gen. Browns policy will do much to perma-
nently restoreorder. The stories so often circu-
lated of large bands of rebels under Coffee and
others are, in the main, pure inventions. And
unless some greater blunder occurs, peace, as
far as rebel armies are considered, may be
viewed as reality here.
The people don't favor the schemes adj
vanced in certain quarters to fight for the
negro. They merely want to restore the old
order of things, thinking that the only legiti-
mate issue before them.
One great source of trouble will exist, which
| hope will be looked to in time by the eutho-
rities-the use of whisky. This seems to be
the promoter of more trouble now than any
thing else.
The Memphis union appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1862-1862, 1862-07-18

VERY much has been said by the press and
the public in reference to the assertion of the
author of "Among the PInes," that there ex-
lists among the Southern blacks q secret and
widespread organization which has able lead
ers, and whose ultimate object is freedom.
This statement, though generally credited,
has been questioned by certain Northern se-
cession Journals.
We are authorized by the writer of that book
to say that he has given in 'Among the Pines"
but tithe OF the whole truth in his possession
in regard to that organization. That while he
has in that work introduced only single
leader, he has personal knowledge of over
twenty, and has the names and residence of
over five hundred who can control, at the tap
of drum, one hundred thousand able-bodied
fighting men.
The names of these leaders, and all the par
ticulars in regard to that organization, he is at
liberty to communicate (they having been con-
fided to him for that purpose) to the govern
ment, whenever it is prepared to resort in
quelling this rebellion to all the mean that are
justified by civilized warfare. ,
