Our readers that this officer has been severely
censued account Of his conduct in the Roanoke Island
affair." the surrender Of Norfolk at the battle of Seven
Pines and the late battles the Chckahominy We have
been inclined to think those Just but the pub
cation Of his correspondence in reference the evacuation
of Norfolk shows that he opposed to that blunder
and in wise ehargeable with it, rid ourselves
of the belief that the evacuation of Norfolk and the
quent destruction of the Merrmac of the severest
caames which has befallen the Confederacy The War
and Navy Departments and the government response
BILE for this unwise premature and damaging evacuation
The correspondence shows that Gen. Huger opposed
to it. In his letter to Gen. Lee dated May ;rd 1862 he
says:
al also received yesterday Gen Johnstons letter of MAY
1s the substance of which you teegphed the Secre
tary of War last evening. Ny idea is that abandoning
this place is abandoning Virginia. and would be better
to sacrifice every of in its defence than to give
tup."
The loss of Roanoke Island have always believed was
chargeabe TO the nefceucy Of State authorities
first and subsequently to the incompetency shorghted
ness and indifference North of the then Secre-
tary of War; Mr.. Benjamin, than to Gen. Huger When
the history of all the facts of this comes out will
doubt be found that the bunders committed in managing
it for the first fifteen months chargeabe to the
official heads clearly shown in the of Gen. A.
s. Johnston in the evacuation of Bowling Green and the
loss of Fort Doneson and Nashville than in the officers
whose duty it was simply to execute their orders.

Col. COrcoran.

In reported speech made by Corcoran Of the late
y returned Yankee prisoners from Salisbury ovation
given him in Washington City, be is said TO have used the
following language:
ale lad come from North Carolina. Although that
State has 30 in the eld unehalf of them, IL free
speak, would speak in favor of returning to the Unon
but their Stale pride and blind love for State institutions
will them to fight well in the ranks until give
them assurance that will send TO them well as TO the
other States, sufficient number Of Union around
whom they can rally"
We unhestatingy pronounce every word Of the above
an unmtgated falsehood We profess to have pretty
thorough knowledge of the sentiments of the North Caro-
lima troops and of people, and doubt if there
ten men, one army who hold the views attributed
to them by Corcoran. The time when the attachment
of the people of North Carolina to the old Unon
strong should have been. But the unjust and cruel
upon usthe nsincery aud the arocous conduct ohe
Yankees turned this attachment ntohatred No
among of common intelligence desires fny
nection with the old Union in any form. But the great
body Of our people equally opposed TO tyranny from
quarter they 10 LincOlnism or any future aa
tion with the Yankees.
The remark has frequently been made during this war;
by professed Democrats We prefer Military Die
tatorshp We had rather be under the control of Queen
Victoria Louis Napoleon the Gar of Russia" These
expressions be taken evidence that the great
body Of people doubt their capacity for sefgovern
ment that they are tired Of American constitutional
liberty They will submit Lincoln tyranDy-to the
tyranny Of Military Dictator Of their TO the ty
ranny of any crowned head They for the Southern
Confederacy under the Constitution is and nothing
else To maintain this they will spill their blood and

Counterfeit Confederate Notes.

friend has furnished US with the following de-
Scrption of the counterfeit Confederate bills said to
have been issued by the Yankees and circulated
South The general execution of the counterfeit is
said to be better than the genuine.
On the 20s in the left hand vignette in the gen.
uine the brm Of the sailors hat is clear of the coat
collar behind, and there is shading behind the ship
in the rear of the sailor 10 the counterfeit the hat
brm touches the coat collar and here is no shading
behind the ship. .....
On the 50's centre vignette woman is holding up
the lid of the chest-in the genuine, there is lock
on the chest-in the counterfeit the lock is not 50
perceptible. On the left lower corner in the gen.
uine, the hair of the bareheaded man is brushed
smoothly, as if with wet brush and to cover par
tally bald head in the counterfeit the hair looks
as if blown by the wind. The rule work in the
right upper corner die (50} is different in the coun
terfeit somewhat from the genuine.
On the zoos in the centre vignette in the genuine
the mule stands at the cotton screw slightly quar-
tering if going around in the circle, presenting
nearly full back side view of the mule In the
counterfeit the mule quarters around considerably,
showing nearly broad side. In the genuine between
the feet of the sailor the left corner there
two little stones-in the counterfeit there three
stones.

The War News.

The important and, no doubt stirring events on
the Rappahannock are, by some means, kept from
the public. The means of information are in the
hands of the government which preserves rigid
silence, from motives of prudence.
The Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday last
states that reports from the upper Rappahannock
of very encouraging nature, but facts are
scarce and improbable. 1t learns, with certainty,
that there was severe fight on Tuesday, at Cat
let's Station, on the Orange and Alexandria Rail
Road, between the Rappahannock and Narrenton
Junction, in which the artillery of both sides bore
a principal share. The impression is, that Jack
sons forces from Warrenton lanked the retreating
columns of the enemy on the left, and Longstreets
forces on the right The enemy was surprised and
retreated in haste. The losses on either side are
not named but it is reported that Pope's papers,
plans, part of his baggage, and his overcoat were
captured.
Gen Ruggles occupied Baton Rouge, La, with
our forces at last accounts.
dispatch from that place, states what is hard
to believe, that Com Raphael Semms, the redoubta-
BILE commander of the famed Sumpter, was at the
mouth of the Mississippi with fleet of iron-clad
steamers to operate against the Yankees!
Vicksburg, it is understood, is again threatened,
but our forces are in high spirits.
Buell. at last accounts was falling back down the
Tennessee river, having evacuated Battle Greek,
Bridgeport and Stevenson.
Gen. Morgan has issued a proclamation declaring
his purpose to enforce retaliation upon the Yankees
for their treatment to his captured men.
The Yankees are slowly evacuating Cumberland
Gap.

The Latest News.

The particulars of the movements of the two armies
on the Rappahannock line are still very meagre
The fight at Catlett's Station seems to have been
all on one side. Gen. Stuart with his cavalry, fell
upon the enemy, it appears, unawares, captured it
is said, $50 Yankee soldiers and II commissioned
officers, Gen. Pope's coat, sword, &c, 100000 in
gold and Treasury notes, and a mail just made up
for Washington. The enemy retrrated IN confu-
sion, but rallied again and was repulsed by Gen.
Stuart, who afterwards prudently fell back to War
renton Springs.
The impression exists among passengers that
general fight occurred on Tuesday last near War
renton, Va, but no particulars to have reached
Richmond.
1t was believed at Gordonsvillle that Gen. Nc
Clellan, with 10000 troops had arrived at Fred
ericksburg, and was attempting to join Pope 1t is
said he arrived in time to prevent total route of
Burnside's forces. We observe that it is hinted
that Burnside will succeed Mcclellan in command
of the "Grand Army"
General decentralization, it is said, manifests it.
self in the Yankee army, and entire confidence is
expressed in the speedy forcing the enemy out of
Virginia.
By Yankee papers at Memphis, it is said, that
letter from Gen. Hindman to Gen. Bragg has been
intercepted, in which he states that he had $4,000
men and only 5000 stand of arms in Arkansas
They also report battle at Clarendon, Ark, in
which they claim victory, but acknowledge heavy
losses on both sides.
Clarksville, Tenn, it is said, has been captured
by the Confederates, and that Fort Donelson has
been evacuated by the Yankees
The proceedings of the Confederate Senate on
Wednesday were of but little general interest. Mr..
Oldham, of Texas offered resolution inquiring of
the President the authority for the appointment of
Provost Marshals and their pay fixed Mr.. o. sup
ported it IN an able speech. The Conscription bill
was under consideration, and attempts were made
to amend but failed.
The only point of interest in the House, was the
adoption of joint resolution to investigate the af
fairs of the Navy Department.
Several items of general interest have been devel
oped by the reports of the heads Of Departments,
which we shall notice in our next
