From Port kOyas.

New York, March, 30.-The steamer En-
pire City from Port Royal, has arrived.
The following is from the -Nee .Soutt
newspaper Of the 22d inst -
General Sherman visited Jacksonville on
the 18th inst, and was waited on by q COM
mittee Of citizens, who representa- the feeling
of all in the town as strongly for the Union.
Many of the inhabitants had left Jackson
willie with the Rebels, who threatened to re-
turn and hang all that remained,
Bands of Rebel Regulators of guerillas
were pillaging and destroying all the pro
pcrty of suspected Unionists, under orders
from the Rebel General Trapier. At Jack
sonyille, the night before our troops arrived,
these Regulators burned large foundry,
several saw mills, FIVE million feet oflumher,
a large hotel and dry goods warehouse, sup
posed to belong to Unionists, and threatened
to burn the entire town, but the gun-boats
making their appearance, they postponed
their threats.
The sentiment of Eastern Florida is de-
clared to be loyal, and many are willing to
take up arms to defend themselves against
Rebel tyranny, and on one occasion, when
the Regulators were reported as coming, the
women even seized arms to protect them
selves.
The national troops are treated to every
hospitality the town affords, and the people
state that they will 90 with the gun-boats il
they leave; but measures have been taken tC
fully protect them.

TIE United States gun-boat Huntsville
arrived from Key West this evening, with
dates 10 the 2Jth inst.
The remainder of Commodore Porters
mortar fleet had all left Koy West, together
with some of our gun-beats. New Orleans
was supposed to be their destination.
A French man-ofwar from Vera Cruz at
Havana, had twenty yseven cases of yellow
fever on hoard.
The health Of the troops at Eey West was
good.
The smallpox had broken out in New
Hampshire regiment at Tortugas.
Two of the crew captured on board the
steamer Magnolia report great preparations
at New Orleans to resist the expected attack.
Several gunboats were building and martial
law would soon be proclaimed.
There is no truth in the reported capture
of Mr. Yancey. He engaged passage in the
schooner Mallory, which was captured, but
changed his mind and vas to sail in the
schooner Break O'Day.

officers and privates treated me with marked
kindness and respect--so much so that was
oyerpowercd and for moment unable to
talk. For the first time in twelve months
felt that was in ''thc land of the free and
the home of the brave"
From first to last l have put myself under
no obligations whatever to the bogus Con-
federacy. While in Jail they offered to
release me and guarantee my safety if would
take the oath Of allegiance, but indignantly
refused telling them that they had no Gov
ernmcnt; that it was big, brutal Southern
nest never had been recognized by any
Government on earth and never would be,
and that would die of old age in Jail before
l would disgrace myself by taking any such
oath.
In conclusion, have not had time to speak
in detail of the destruction of Union prop
crty, the robbing of Union houses, the stealing
of Union horses and negroes. and of the
various and numerous other enormities
perpetrated by these vandals. Suffice it to
say that if the Federal Government does
nothing more during this war, she owes it
to the loyal citizens of East Tennessee to
redress their wrongs and to emancipate them
| from the clutches of their oppressors.
| have never doubted that the Govern
mept would crush out this rebellion, but
have felt mortified and discouraged because
the Federal troops have been so slow in
reaching East Tennessee. Where they were
wanted most they have come last. The
| Union sentiment of East Tennessee has never
yet yielded hairs breadth, and the approach
of a Federal army would he hailed with as
much enthusiasm and JOY as the pious people
of Palestine hailed the announcement that

After General Schenck's arrival at Csmber
land. one of the first decisions, says cores
pondent of an Ohio paper, was very charac-
teristic. A Secesh colonel had sold his
negro to the Confederate Government,
taking pay, of course, in scrip. The negro,
employed in Notifications, managed to escape
to Cumberland, were he spread himself con
siderably, A constable knowing the circum-
stance, and wishing TO turn a penny, had the
negro thrown into prison as an escaped slave.
General Scenck, hearing the facts, sent for
the parties. "By what right" he asked of
the constable, "do you hold this man in
prison q.
las fugitive from service" "Don't you
know that he escaped from service of the
rebels I" "Yes; but we have law in
Maryland that covers the case, General" "
sand have a law upon which it can be

MR.. TRAINS LECTURE IN KENNINc
TON

On Monday evening Mr.. Train gave lee
ture at Horns Tavern, Remington, England,
his subject being 'Rccollections Of Travel i'll
America, Europe Aria, Africa and 4 australia
At the conclusion, the chairman, III putting
motion for vote Of thanks to Alr Train,
pronounced it the best lecture he had ever
listened to. He called for three cheers for
the lecturer which were given with great
enthusiasm. Before the audience separated
Mr.. Train was invited TO dcliNcI another
lecture at the same place at sope future
period, but We did not understand that the
invitation was then accepted.
We could not give Il better cpitolc of the
lecture than b! quoting lhc following from
the UoI7riHg -idrtlt.ser - Mr. Train, who
received very hearty welcome, said he saw
that he was announced to deliver lecture
but all he proposed to do Was to give. in u
! conversational way, and just as they occurred
to his memory, some of his "reminiscences OF
travel in America, Europe, Africa China and
! Australia. 1t had been said that there was
no royal road to knowledge-he, ON the
| contrary, said that travel was the royal road
| to knowlcdge-at least, that was his evp.li-
cnCe, az set against all that could be ac0"hvu
i'll schools.
Mr.. Train then rapidly aescribed his visits
TO the Western .nt Central Highlands of
Scotland, North Wales and other beautiful
districts OF Great Britain. took flying tour
through France. and thence to Australia,
just at the time OF the gold discoveries. He
drew graphic and stirring picture of Vic
| toria, at the time, and contrasted it with the
| state Of the colony now. In fourteen months
having made el9,000 at Melbourne he rcsol-
we'd to carry out his long cherished scheme
| Of travel, and started for China, of which he
| saw great deal and was much impressed
with the sterling honesty Of the Chinese
! people. who We're not to be confouIded with
! the long shore" population.
| From China he visited the Dutch settle
ments of Batavia, Java, &c, then proceeded
to Boneo and Sarawak, where be visited
| Rajah Brooke, man who had treated this
country like prince. and upheld its honor
| like brave man without being treated well
in return. Malacca, Penang and Hong
Kong were next briefly touched upon. japan
described in glowing colOrs. Then at Cal
cutta just before the mutiuy-Lord Ualhou
sic coming away, Lord Canning just arrived
and Gen. IIavclock discouIsng amiCablN
| with Mana Sahib.
A run to Madras, and a hasty call a.
Ceylon brought the traveller back to EurOp,
by way of Alden, Egypt, Palestine and tht
Crimea, at the time when five armies wert
around and within Sebastopol. 1lr. TraiI
possesses dramatic and mimetic powers o
the very highest order; and his lecture
delivered with great icryor, ealncstness anC
! animation, was received with a running
| accompaniment of laughter and applause.

Rev. j. W. Hedges, on leaving this place
for his new charge in Shrewsbury, York Co.,
this week, was the recipient of some partial,
extra tokens of appreciation chiefly if not
wholly through the instrumentality of those
curious Union-loving ',p0tticidRs" who ap-
proved his negative vote on the Union rcso;
lutions before the East Baltimore Conference,
The semi-Seccssion organ in Lewisburg and
in Sunbury will doubtless make much pa
rade of this putting game (Which has gener-
ally been known here for some months past y
and we deem it proper to say, for the intor-
nation of friends abroad, that-whatcver
may have been their respect for him other

HOysHARDIsENT OF ISLAND
NO. 10.

CAIRo. March 2Q-The bombardmcnt Of
Island No. 10 was renewed vigorously by
Commodore Foote's fleet yesterday, and the
replies of the Rebels seem to indicate that
they have received and put in position new
guns of longer range than those they hither-
to used, during the temporary cessation of
active hostilitiCs.
ST. LOUIS, March So.--Thc army cores
pondent of the Republjcan, writing under
date Of Cairo. March Goth, says that the
firing, on Friday, at Island number 10
was quite heavy, the Reoels opened from a
new battery, mounted, i: is supposed, with
12S-pounders. The enemy could be seen
cutting away the trees and rapidly pushing
forward other means of offence.
