MEMPHIS, April 2s.-Rumoris on the street that enemys gunboats have been captured at Ne" oF- leans, by boarding. This needs confirmation.
 As usual the city is full of rumors from above and below. Intelligence brought from New Dr. leans by messengers On up train, that one of enc nll's gnnboats had been captured. being boarded and taken by assault. The statement, however, that Gen. Van Don had received an oihciai dis patch to that effect, is without foundation W hear from above that during the progress ot the bombardment at Fort Pillow yesterday, three of enemy's mortar guns exploded. Enemy's gun boats, at last accounts, had not left New Orleans for up the river Ample preparations await them before they can reach this city.
 The New Orleans Delta of 18th says: our citi- Zens have seen the white smoke which arose yes> tcrday from smouldering fires in various parts ot the city. It was from burnt offering on an altar of liberty.
 The enemy will be welcome to al thecotton that they will get here. Indeed if it were practicable. there are many who would prevent anything ot value from falling into their hands.

 Buell. discaimed any such intention, and said he should never violate the usages of civ'iized war fare.
 Morgan then proposed an exchange of the thir- ty six federal prisoners for his four men, saying that the difference in numbers was but fair vaius' tion of the services of his brave troopers.
 Buell. replied that he compelled to decline the offer he could not negotiate with an ofhcer inferior to him in rank.
 "That is unfortunate, sir," replied Morgan, " as the objection could not hold good in any other sense;' and the interview then terminated. It was after this that Morgan learned that of his men, named Love, had been shot after he vas taken prisoner.
 have also been put in possession of the particu- lars of another most gallant affair." which occurred on the 10th inst and of which no mention has yes been made
 On that day, Lieut. Basile Duke, the aa)utah' and brother-in.law of Captain Morgan, and equal ly as brave and daring, proceeded with eighteen men to within three and half miles of Nashville and half mile of Gen. McCoOk's camp, where, concealine themselves, they dsmounted, leaving the horses in charge of three of fhelr men, wniie the fifteen took positions of from the turnpike, ana succeeded in killing twenty.three of the enemy s advance guard. among whom were three 5 and one captain. Three of our men being cut oil from returning to their horses were forced to cross the enemy's lines by an old field, and passed with in thirty steps of their pickets, who saw them from the pike, and who allowed them to go by, suppos- ing that there was large force and that they would captare the whole command. The three men, by making circuit of half mile, regalned sheir horses in safety, and the whole command escaped without the loss of man.-Correspondence Y. Q. lpIyH

A Good AneCdoto.

Before leaving Tuscpmbia, learned the partc uars of an interview between tho celebrate John Morgan and the federal Gen. Buell., at Nashville, which is worthy of record as part of tho history of ths times, The exploits of Capt. Morgan are uore like the romantic and daring feats of tho days of kri;ghtbood and chiyaIry thau anything else we can compare them to.
 It seems that Capt Morgan, having learned that Gen. Buell. had determined to hang four of his men as outlaws, who had been taken prisoners in bic memorable scout of March $, he proceeded with a flag Of truce and ten of his men to Nashville. On his way he met Gen. Mitchell with large force of the enemy's cavalry, and to whom he made his object known. Mitchell said he was just going out to search for Morgan, and regretted to meet him under the protection of flag of truce. Morgan, with meaning look not to be misunderstood, as sured the federal general that no one moro than himself shared bis regret and his disappointment, and hoped that an opportunity would soon offer oi meeting him under moro favorable circumstances.
 Mitchell then gave Morgan escort. and ac- companied him to Buell's quarters. Buell. was greatly surprised at meeting with the bold partisan face to face, and, cvincing DO little uneasipess, asked to what circumstances ho vas indebted for the honor of this visit
 Morgan replied that his erand was a christian one; that he had been informed that General Buell. had threatened to hang four of his men, who had been taken prisoners, as outlaws, In violation oi the roies of var and civilization, that he had thir

Fashions.

IL was for years our pleasure 10 furnish our readers spring and autumn, with an article, selected or original descriptive of the muta. .ions of our fashionable world until last fali Then we utterly failed to do %, not hecauSe there was uniformity of chance, end the new fashions were net altogether as popular ss they should have been. These fashions were, at first, detested by great many young ladies and gentlemen but most persons accepted them ss the |" Fire eaters" of 1850 accepted the Compromise measures, (pardon the execrabe pun-vhich was not intended they dcqutesced. As the same fahsions continue, and will proba bly, prevail through the ensuing spring and summer, we may attempt a charcoal sketch, conhning the result of our observations to few only of the most important articles ot wear ing apparel in which masculines of the beau monde are wont to "splurge,' beginning with tiles
 Eashton tor hats--Hats a la stove pipes are now worn with very short nap, which fails to cover the entire exterior surface; and where the fingers touch in lifting, it is ornamented with a coating smooth and glossly, remotely resem: bling velvet: there are several irregular inden- tations near the top, and occasionally hats are seen with larger indentation, (produced by a "brick,') embracing one entire side ot the crown. Other tiles are sometimes worn, rt- sembling nothing describable. They must be seen to be appreciated. In our view they are perfectly horrid, " shocking bad hats
 Fdshion for codts-For coats no particular material nor cut has heen adopted, probably owing to some difficulty in obtaining reliable {" "noos from Moo Yawk." We observe that broadcloth coats, when worn, are considerably so about the elbows and buttons, and some times under the armpits. The same glossy substance noticed on the hats is also in vogue for coats, and is mostly displayed on the cuffs and lapels.
 Fashton for pGats.-Thers is something part ticularly noticeable in pants.-They usually ar~ pear to have been made of some substantial material, and according to whatever style the convenience of the wearer dictated. It is men. tionable, however, that occasionally "exquistes display a. killing" pair of speckled or crossbar- red unmentionables," the material of which is considerably thinner in sn indescrible portion, and from which sometimes flag of truce hut> ters in the breeze. than the others-whilc a clay y-hued border or fringe adorns the lower ex. tremities.
 Fashion .tor boots.-Boots are worn long, much on one side of the heel, and at the toes; the other side of the heel jutting out towards the opposite ankle. This style of boots is better adapted for summer, we think, than for winter. i've might as we'll be out of the world as out of fashion. Exchange

"The main difficulty is, however, with Lincoln himself. He is of the whig school, and that brings him naturally not only to incline to the feeble poii- cy of whigs, but to give his confidence to such ad- viser=. It costs me great deal of labor to get anything done, because of the inclination of mnd on the part of the President, or leading members of the Cabinet, including Chase, who never voted a democratic ticket in his life.''

This being the aggregate population. what pro- portion of males between the ages of eighteen and thirty fye7 By the census of 1850, the popu- laton of the United States VAS 23, ,l9l ,676. Of this total T,0i7 945 given as between the ages in question. Half this number would give 3,523,- 91;l as the males between those ages; which num- Der is fifteen per cent of the aggregate population This ratio applied to the white population of the Confederacy, as stated above, would give as the number produced by the conscription T52,342 men. If We should add to this number the volunteers from that population of the States of Kentucky, Maryland, and portions of Virginia and Missouri not embraced in the basis of estimate. and the vol unteers offering from ages not embraced in the prescribed figures, the aggregate soldiery of the Confederacy gould reach the nurrber of eight hun dred thousand. It is clear however, that seven hundred and fifty thousand men coubd be raised aa a permanent force by the conscrption.
 This force, properly armed and judiciously com manded, would be able to protect the country from any invasion which could be brought against it, It would, of itself, insure the independence of the Con!ederacy. This force, however. can be raised by only one mode, and that mode is conscription. We urged this measure upon the country many months ago. We have repeated onr e1hortations often since, and are nov glad to find that the sub ject has attracted the attention and received the approval of the Confederate suthorttes.-Riek- nond Examiner.

The Conscription.

The President recommends. by special message, . general conscrpton of All male citizens between the ages of eighteen and thirty-fve. The measure would be compulsory, and would be similar 70 that enforced by probably every government of Europe except that of Great Britan. Wehave repeated ly urged this as the only judicious and effective mode of establishing army and preserving it in completeness through all vcissitudes: The e1pe. rence of Europe is the experience of all ages and all military powers. Conscription is necessary to the establishment and to the preservation of an efficient army. Sooner later the Confederacy will De compelled to resort to the policy. and the sooner tue necessity is recognized and embraced the better will it be for the public service and safe y.
 It is well to inquire what would be the size Of an army thus created. very simple arithmetical process will disclose the number of soldiers which the conscrpton would produce The free popu- lation of the several States of the Conederacy not wholly occupied by the enemy, s as follows, giving only fractions of the population for those States
