From the following special dispatch to the
APPEAL from senatobia, compiled from the
Memphis Bulletin of yesterday, twill be seen
that our previous intelligence from GAINESVILLE
and Fort D0nelson is confirmed.
The Memphis Balletia, Of The 26th, publishes
dispatches from the North confirming the cap
ture Of GAINESVILLE and Fort Douelson.
A dispatch from Cairo 10 the New York Her

water in the Cumberland river.
NEW YORK, August 2l.-The Tribune says
there is a report that General Burnside is TO

founded this is.
RUssELvmLE, KY, August 2I.-Al that is
known here Of the capture Of GAINESVILLE, is that
Colonel Mason surrendered bis whole command
to = guerrilla force under a 7 Johnson, Wood
ward and Garth. The most reliable reports
represent Mason's force at two hundred, and
that of the rebels at from four hundred to six
hundred; not 4 gun was fred
Mason and his men were paroled and went
down the river. Latar'snd further information
from GAINESVILLE shows the surrender to be
the most disgraceful and ~eowardly of the
war. Tie psrOled prisoners were allowed
to carry eff their horses and side The
surrender was made to an inferior force Of rebel
cavalry. Mason and Woodward made speeches
complimenting each other.
NASHVILLE, August 21.-Col. Mason Of the

A highway robbery occurred yesterday which
is a little ahead Of anything Of the kind we have
heard Of for some time. An old gentleman from
Alabama, By the nane off,. c. Driver, was on
his wa here to see a sick son in the army, and
while in Atlanta he formed the acquaintance of
a map by the name of Morris, who agreed to 90
as q substitute for his son, for the consideration
of $1,000. Mr.. Driver closed the bargain by
paying Morris hotel expenses, and railroad fare
to this place, and arrived here yesterday morn
ing The old gentleman felt fatigued from his
nights travel, and laid down, at the suggestion
of Morris, to rest, while be (Morris) proposed to
60 up to Lookout Mountain Hospital and see
the son. Morris came back after a while and
told Mr.. D liver he had seen young Driver, who
desired his father to come up Immediately. They
both started GA. and Morris led him oUt on some
one of tie hills 10 the nejghborhood. and when
IN "a secluded spot, grasped him round thu neck,
threw him down, and after rendering him insen-
sible from ~strangulstion, rifed his pockets OF
SLIGO, and made of.
We DO sincerely hope be may be caught, to
aid in which We give the following description:
Morris is nearly six feet high, light beard, dark
hair, skin sun-burnt, rather stOop-SbouldeTed,
and about % years old He had on grey pants
and a striped shirt, and said he had a wife and

For the information Of the public on this SUD
iect, we insert the following letter addressed to
John Boston, Esq, Depository, at Savannah,
Georgia, by the Secretary Of the Treasuryf
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
RICHMOND, August ], 1862.
John Boston, Esqi Depository, Savannah
SIR: In answer to the inquiries of the 25th
nit, you can say
Isl. That the 1880 interest notes viii at any
time be accepted in exchange for s per cent
Confederate bonds, or for any debt due tho gov
eminent, and that interest will be allowed as well
as principal.
"a. That I shallreeommend that Congress pay
annually the interest due on these notes to the
respective holders thereof on the lst day Of jan
uary.
Sd. That the 6 per cent. call certificates can
not be issued for these interestbearing notes
because such certificates are payable on demand
in general Treasury notes Of every denomlne-
ton.
/. 4. The 1880 notes may be issued in exchanges
for the six per cent. call certificates. Sueh ex-
change effects directly what the holder OF the
certificates may do indirectly by calling for pay
ment of his certificate in current notes, and then
exchanging them for Interest," notes.
5. The purpose intended by the Issue OF IN
terest-bearing notes is to take them out OF the
general circulation. lns Is eI0ctSu Dy .HO TO-"
that a calculation Of interest takes place al
every transfer. 1t is not expected, therefore
that they will pass into the general deposits OF
circulation Of the banks. In passing them from
hand 20 hand, the interest grows each day Dy an
easy calculation Of two cents on each hundred
| dollar note, until the end of tbs year, when the
interest viii be paid up, if Congress shall accept
my recommendation.
With much respect,
TSiqnedl &C. G.. MEMMINCER,
Secretary Of the Treasury.

nnrihnidr. speech a. rIar.aIa.

GaribaIdi's recent speech at MARSHA, of which
incomplete reports have been published, Was
even sharper and more decided than that deiIY'
cred at Palermo. He said
1.-THE time is come when we can no longer
permit the stranger on our soil and the slavery
of a portion of our brethren. Italy can no
longer abide this shame. This is q shame Tor
twenty-five millions of men, and il must cease
in a few days from this time. Yes, Rome IS ours.
Yes, Rome or death. The crowd- Rome or
death " It was from MARSHA that the cry Of
liberty went forth. From Marsala let this cry
20 forth to-day: Rome or DEATH And this
cry VIII rescund not only In the Panlnsulai but
viii find an echo throughout all Europe, and
wherever the name Of liberty has not been DO
famed. We only want what belongs to us. Yes.
that which belongs to us-Jor Rome IS ours
Rome or DEATH THE crowd Rene or death ]
This cry will weigh more in the balance q
diplomacy than all the prayers in the world.
We are tired Of praying. No more PTotestat1ons,
no more PRAYERS Let Napoleon kHolc, once Tor
all, that Rome and YeRice belong uS-that the
brethren of Rome and Venice are our brathIen-
We owe gratitude to the people Of France. Yes,
the French people are with US. They are cur
brethren. Napoleon did not q war IN looy
for Italy. We have given Nice and Savoy, and
he wished for something else. Yes, know IT,
He has worked to aggrandise his family. lie
mas one prince ready for Rome and another for
Naples, and so on. | know it. We do not re
quire prayers. The people Of France are with
us. Let Napoleon III quit Rome, and Rome Is
ours. l am happy to-day at being with you, Tor
Ihave good reason to be your friend. Adieu
