INTERESTING TO NORTHERN PROPERTY HoL-
DERs.--A late Richmond paper has the fol-
lowing:
In the Confederate Court on Saturday last
the important case, involving near half mil
lion dollars, of the Confederate States, VS.
John Jones, on petition to sequestrate the to-
bacco of August Belmont, was taken up. The
Rothschilds have interposed, and as French
citizens claim the tobacco as their property
Proceedings in this case win be most probably
indefinitely postponed, as the blockade cuts off
from the Rothschilds the opportunity Of attend
ing properly TO their interests in the matter.
The French Minister at Washington. not
long since, endeavOred to get permission
to visit Richmond, to look after the inter.
esis of some of his countTymen. 1t is prob
able his object was to attend to this suit in
behalf Of the Rothsehilds.

STATE FINANCES.

The Transcript, on several occasions, has
charged upon the Democrvtic party the
responsibility of the State debt, and all the
bad management OF the State finances; and
in its issue of last Tuesday it gives the
Know-Nothing party the credit of having
inaugurated the financial system by which,
for two or three years, the current expen-
ses were paid in cash. Every person at all
acquainted with the Legislative history Of
our State, who has read the Transcript,
must have noted its gross misrepreseuta'
tions. We shall not undertake to defend
the financial management of the State,
while under Democratic rule, by which the
bulk of the present debt was contracted;
but it can easily be shown, that during the
single year the Know-Nothings had control
of the State Government, they increased
the State debt more than it had been in-
creased under any two years of Democratic
rule. The State Prison contract with Es-
tell, which was given to him as reward
for partisan services by the Know-Nothing
Legislature, cost the State not less than
half q million of dollars. This contract
was made in the spring of 1856, when the
Know.NOthings had control of every depart
ment of the State Government; and during
that season the State credit was lower than
1t ever has been before or since. During
the session of 1857, when there was large
Democratic majority in both branches, the
Legislature inaugurated system by which
the State finances were placed 10 healthy
condition, and for several years all expen.
ses we're paid In cash. The cash system
might have been continued to the present
time had II not been for the large expendi.
lures necessitated by the corrupt contracts
made by the Know. Nothing Legislature.
No one Democratic Legislature ever did as
much to swamp the State credit as the
KnOw.Nothing Legislature Of 1856; and if
the Democracy as party are held respon-
sible for share Of the bad financial man.
agement, they must be credited with having
inaugurated the cash paying syatem.

CAPTURE OF New ORLEANs.-The news
published 10 our Tuesdays issue, announc-
ing the capture of New Orleans, has been
fully confirmed by later advices. The par
ticulars of the capture, as far as known,
are given in another column, and it will be
observed that the intelligence, though COM
ing from different source, agrees substan-
TALLY with the first report. According to
rebel accounts, there was desperate battle
at Fort Jackson, in which one of the Fed
eral vessels was sunk and others badly
damaged. But after reducing the fort, the
Federal feet proceeded up the river, and
took possession of the city without opposi-
tion. The capture of the largest and most
important commercial city Of the South, is
the hardest blow which has yet been dealt
to the rebellion. 1t is worth as much to
the Union cause as would have been the
capture Of Beauregard's entire army. We
may expect now. that the Mississippi river
will soon be re.opened to commerce, from
the source to the mouth, and that the block
ade will shortly be raised. There is moth.
ing now to prevent Federal feet ascend
ing the river and taking possession ol
Memphis, and this viii be done as soon as a
sufficient force can be collected at New Or.
leans to undertake the expedition, unless
Memphis is first taken by Com. Foote's
gunboats.

New MEucO.-Advices from New Mexi-
CO, to April 10Th, state that the Texans un-
der Slbley have abandoned Santa Fe, and
we're retreating out OF the Territory. Maj.
Duncan, 10 command of Janby's advance,
came up with party Of Texans about the
10th, and 6ght ensuetin which the latter
we're routed. The forces under COL Slough
had formed q junction with Canby's COM
mand at Galestro, on the llth, and an i'm
mediate pursuit of the Texans, who we're
only thirty miles south, was ordered. No
doubt is entertained of the capture of Sib-
ley's forces, as they we're destitute Of eve
rything, having lost their baggage and sup
plies at the battle of Pigeon Ranch.

TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE OVERLAND
MAm.-Postmaste Parker, of San Francis
co, has received instructions by telegraph
from the Department at Washington, to
send all mail matter for the East by steam
ears, until the Interruptions on the Over
land foute cease. Dispatches from along
the route state that, owing to the loss Of
stock and other causes, the stages casnot
commence running again under four weeks
For the present, therefore, the overland
Mail is suspended; but it Is understood that
it will be resumed as soon as the route east
Of Salt Lake can be re-stocked.

THURSDAY EVENING, MAY l. 1862.

IMPENDING BAFTLEs.-The Eastern advi-
ces which are allowed to be sent across the
continent, leave little room to doubt that
another terrible battle will soon be fought
10 the vicinity of Corinth, between the ar
mics of Halleck and Beauregard. Possibly
the contest has already been decided; but
if not, it cannot be much longer delayed.
We have no reliable intelligence as to the
strength of the two armies. Beauregard's
army is variously estimated, by deserters
aud prisoners, at from $4,000 to 100000
men, and one dispatch says Halleck has
about 100000; but this is probably exag'
gerated. A Federal victory at COrintb
would settle the rebellion in the southwest;
and the rebels are 10 such position that
nothing short of the complete annihilatton
of Halleck's army would do them any good.
Another great battle will probably be
fought 10 the vicinity Of Yorktown, and
from the movements Of the different divi-
sions of McClellan's army, it seems to be
bis purpose to bag the entire rebel army in
Eastern Virginia. The capture of Corn
wallis, eighty years ago, at Yorktown, Sc
cured the independence Of the Colonies, and
it would be little singular If the final
blow should be dealt to the rebellion, in
the same place, and in much the same
manner.

THE FATE OF FLoYD.-The fate that has
already overtaken this traitor should be a
warming to mankind forever. While acting as
a Cabinet Minister under an oath to support
the Constitution and Government of his coun-
try, he was plundering theOne and plotting the
destruction of the other. Compelled to fee
from the Capitol Of the nation, he accepted a
generalship in the rebel ranks under Davis.
A coward as well as a thief and traitor, his
pseudo Commander .in-Chief has relieved him OF
his command until he can find time to try him
for cowardice. He may escape being shot by
jeff. Davis, but only to be hung by the Gov
ernment, of which he was once a high and
honored officer.
