mOYEmENTs ON THR RFvER.

From passengers on boats from above, that ar
rived Sunday evening, we have our latest intel
lgence from the upper river.
Reports from scouts had been made at Island
10, that Columbus had been occupied in force
by the Fedslals and that their advance guard
had reached Hickman, Ky, by land. The
amount Of the occupying force was unknown.
On Saturday last feet of gun and mortar
boats anchored above Island 10, and fred a
number of shot at the works. After experiment.
ing for some time, evidently for the purpose Of
ascertaining the range Of their pieces, they re-
tired But two shots were fred from the Island.
No casualties on either side attended the affair.
LATER-The Clara DOlsen, from Tiptonville,
arrived last evening. The Federals continued a
slow fire on Sunday from their heavy guns.
Several shells, thrown some two miles snd a
half, exploded over the island, without doing any
damage. No response was made from our bat
fa-ias

From the Tennes.ee.

We find the following items in the Tuscumbia
Aia5amiaa of the 18th:
FIGHT AT CmcKAsAw, ALA.-On Wednes.
day morning last two Federal gunboats came
up Tennessee river to Chickasaw, thirty miles
below here and engaged a battery that has been
lately erected there. Over one hundred cannon
shot were exchanged, when one of the gunboats
was disabled and had to be towed of We did
not have 8 man hurt, although the Yankee shot
and shell fell fast and thick around and in our
battery. As the boats came up they threw sew
ersl shell in the town of Eastport, without hurt
ing anything, however
We have information which we consider rela-
bic that siEty-four transports loaded with Yam
KEGS are now on their way up Tennessee river,
they evidently intend landing somewhere about
Chickessw or Eastport. A desperate battle will
be fought in that vicinity before many WEEKS
elapse. We do not feel at liberty to say what
our generals are doing to oppose them but can
say that We need every man that can shoulder a
gun TO 90 and meet them.

HINTS TO PLANTERS Under this head the
Caddo Gazette has the following shTewd and
sensible remarks:
Crab grass hay is selling at SIS per tun in
New Orleans, and cotton cannot be shipped and
viii not average over $50 per bale in Shreveport
Corn is selling in the Crescent City at 81,
with an upward tendency Still our planters
persist in making cotton, when they already
have one crop on hand.
Mess pork is worth S44 per barrel, bacon %
cents per pound, and green meat 20 cents. Sill
our planters sre afraid to feed their hogs with
corn, aud will not abandon the culture of cotton.
Our army supplies must be bought in the
cotton States, and yet we are not preparing to
meet the demand.
Extra flour is worth Sl5 a barrel and the
supply for New Orleans must come from Red
river, and yet we are told that it will not pay to
raise wheat.
These practical hints wiz not be written in
vain if they win induce our planters to reduce
their cotton crops and SOW more eats an plant
more corn. We can never be conquered so
long as food Is abundant but when the horrors
Of famine are added TO the disasters of battle.
the spirit of our brave volunteers must succumb.
Millions of bushels of peas can be gathered next
fall for our army and for home consumption.
We must not forget that there are thousands of
helpless families to be fed by the Hberality of
those who have the means. Our condition win
be dreadful if a severe drought cut off our corn
crop as it did in 1860. We should prepare TOR
the evil day, and be ready to meet any emer-
geucy.

SPIKING GUNS.-The Conlederates at Roam
oke Island seem to have spiked their guns well.
A correspondent of the New York Tribune gives
the following account OF the manner in which it
was done:
Only in Forts Blanchard (four guns) aud FL
lis (tw0 guns) were the vents stopped with rat
tail files, wrought, or even cut nails, being used
in all the other cases. To draw these would
have been an easy matter initsef, but the enemy
had taken the ad iitonsl precauton Of driving a
shot home and wsdging it in, and even in some
cases, Of loading the gun and wedging she'll,
fuse down, half way to the muzzle, so that in
attempting to clear the piece, the shell would ex-
plode and burst it.

Of Lincoln cavalry made a raid into Carroll
county in this State. Mr.. Thorn, the State Sen
atOr from that county, was arrested by them
and kept ior 4 dsy or SO. They told him that
they arrested Kim to keep him from giving in
formation Of their movements. They stole every
fine horse they could find and every servceable
gun. Those guns they could not carry off, they
destroyed We are told they came near captur-
ing Bradley Bunch, the Speaker Of the House Of
Representatives. Il is reported that Mr. Ken

place Of Gen. Lee, who has been suddenly re-
called 70 Virginia Perhaps some important
movement is transpiring on the Potomac, which
requires his presence, and the benefit Of his pro-
found experience as an engineer However this
may be, his position as commandant of the army
on the coast is now filed by another, who, from
sn accounts, is fully equal to the emergency.
The disposition Of our forces between Charleston
and Savannah is said to be such as to effectually
hold the enemy in check, and impede his advance
any distance into the interior. If this policy can
succeed until the advent of summer, we viii

The officers and men of the navy engaged in

The disparity Of the forces engaged did not
justify the anticipation Of so great victory; and
1t IS doubly gratifying that it has been won upon
an element where we were supposed TO be
least able to compete with our enemy.
Special attention is called to the perfidious
conduct Of the enemy in hosting, on the frigate
Congress, white flag, and renewing fire rom
that vessel under the impunity thus obtslued.

THE VRGNIA-The Richmond Enquirer
says that theram of the Virginia was damaged by
her collision with the Ericsson, and that she
reached the navy yard in leaky condition,
caused by the wrenching of her nose" OF the
hundreds of balls directed against the Virginia,
and which actually struck her, but one made
the slightest impression upon her iron side, and
that one so slight as to amount only to an inden-
tation. The shock Of her collision with the
Cumberland was scarcely felt on board, aud no
Ill effect was experienced from the conclusion Of
her powerful armament
