We find in the Philadelphia Inquirer, of the
22d, the following summary of items from this
section. The information as to affairs in Memphis
will be news: ~
CHICAGO, March 20.-Specal dispatches from
Cairo to the Tribune state that it is reported from
Syketop that Jeff. Thompson is marching upon
Cape Girardeau, and pressing men and horses
into the Rebel SERVICE A skrmish has taken
place between the Union forces and his advance,
in which three of the enemy were killed and
wounded Renforcements have been sent to Cape
Girardeau. 20 a.
A gentleman, who has been contractor in
Memphis, and left there on Thursday, arrived at
Cairo last evening and reports that Governor Har-
ris disappeared from the Legislature, and mas OF
been heard from since. He is supposed to be at
Corinth, Mississippi. The Legislature had ad-
ionrned and gone no one knows whittier.
The subject of burning the city in case an
evacuationis necessary is still openly discussed:
There had been no impressment OF Union men
into the Rebel service TO any extent, except for
duty, until since the fall of Donelson. Sidce Gov.

REGISTER YOUR NAMES.

II is, we believe, very generally known that the
Legislature Of louisiana at its late session. passed
bill requiring every citizen of the parish Of Or
leans TO haze his name reregstered, as condition
precedent to voting. Yet, strange to say, com
parativey few persons have gone forward for the
purpose Of qualifying themselves for exercising
the right OF sutftage. When the election comes on
as 1t will, in few weeks, there WILDE the smallest
vote ever cast in this city unless the voters have
their names regstered-for none others are enti-
tied to the privilege Of suffrage. "
Lett be understood that the old registry wilt not
do. Eoery man must be registered afresh. A
great many people think the registry at the Office
Of the Provost Marshal is sufficient but this mis-.
take. Every sitizen must be regularly registered by
MIR. st. Martin, at the City Hall, or his vote will
most certainly be refused when be offers it at the
next election. EF5 4-t.4 ~ r.
The new law on this subject was wisely framed
SO as to guard against fraud of every sort or
description. The trouble Of registering will only
have to be gone through with once, and ther
there will be nofurther necessity for it, for years
perhaps, if ever. Because we are at war, there il
no reason we ahoDld neglect the duties which per
tain to peace, and these duties are, in fact, nort
imperative in times of war than in times Of peace
By delay until the last moment the crowd at thu
Office may be 80 great that aregster cannot b,
made Of all those who desire it. Let it be born,
in mind that nobody will be entitled TO vote at an,
future election in this parish, whose name has no
been registered according to the provisions of tn
new law.

MONDAY MORNING, APRILfE7, 1862.
BATTLE or MONTERREY. ~

Our telegraphic dispatches this mornine give an
account Of the grand battle which has taken place
between the Confederate aud the Federal forces
at Monterey, fifteen miles from Corinth. This is
the battle we have been expecting for several
days. So far, we have nothing to discourage US,
but everything looks favorable. The latest re-
ports are that our forces have driven the en-
emy back, and captured eight of his batteries,
and that we have taken Gen. Prentiss and six theu
sand of the Federals prisoners s55sa
We hear that the fight commenced at O'Clock
yesterday morning, and vas going on at the last
advices. Our capture Of eight Of the enemy's bat
teras il subject to an Offset Of one of own bat
teriea, which has bsen captured by the enemy.
The battle was commenced by the Confederate e
forces. 1t is reported that the First Regiment Of
Louisiana Regulars under Gen. GLADDEN., suffered
severely. Also, that Gen. Breckinridge's Brigade
were badly cut up. II is also reported that
General GLADDEN. was shot in the left arm.
The probability is that most Desperate battle
has been fought, with immense loss on both sides
but, SO far, we have every, reason to believe We
have every advantage. II it is true that VIC have
captured Gen. Prentiss and six thousand of his
troops, it may be regarded as decisive OF the fight
We think we have gained victory, because 50
much depended omit and it was battle in which
our brave soldiers knew that defeat would be tht
heaviest calamity Of the war. The battlefield wal
fifteen miles from Corinth, and not far from ths
Tennessee river. - .S,ssss.. ~ w.

A DROVE OF IRISH BuLLs.-The following was
written half century ago by Sir Boyle Roche, a
member of the Irish Parliament. The letter was
addressed to a friend in London, and it is old
enough to be new to nine out of ten readers:
My Dear Having now a little peace and
quietness, sit down and inform you of the dread
full hustle and confusion we are al in from those
blood-thirsty Rebels, most of whom are, thank
God, killed and dispersed. We are in pretty
mess; can get nothing to eat nor any wine to
drink, except whisky and when we sit down to
dinner we are obliged to keep both hands armed.
While write this / hold sword in each hand and
a pistol in the other.

be the end of it, and was right, for it is not
half over yet At present there are such goings
on that everything is at stand still. should have
answered your letter a fortnight ago, bu. did not
receive 1t until this morning. Indeed, scarce a
mail arrives without being robbed. No longer ago
than yesterday the coach, with the mail from
Dublin, was robbed near the town.. The bags had
been left behind for fear Of accident, and by good
luck there was nobody in it but two outside pas
sengers, who had nothing for thieves to take.
Last Tuesday, notice was given thata gang of Re-
bells was advancing here under the French stand
ard, butthey had no colors nor any drums except
bagpipes.
Immediately every man in the place, including
men, women and children. ran ont to meet them
We soon found our force much too little we were
too near to think. of retreating. Death WAS in
every face; bat at last We went, and beganto be
all alive again. Fortunately the Rebels had no guns
hut pistols and pixies, and as We had plenty oi
muskets and ammunition, we put them all to the
sword. Not soul OF them escaped, except some
that were drowned in The adjacent bogs, and in q
very short time nothing was heard bat silence
Their uniforms were all different colors, hut mostly
green. After the action We went to rnmmage {

The MnrT1A-The militia were out in full colors
last Saturday, and presented quite warlike ap.
pearance. After the line was formed, Col Buff
ington addressed the regiment in an eloquent and
patriotic manner, telling them how much needed
their services were in the field to help to drive
back the enemy who are now invading our soil,
and appealing to them to step forward and help
him TO form company for immediate active ser.
vice. After slight pause, between forty and fifty
persons went forward and registered their names.
We have no doubt that the Colonel will soon
have his company full. 1t was quite an interest
ing scene to witness the promptness with which
the Coonel's appeal was responded to.

There need be no hesitation in this matter. The
gentlemen to whom this business has been en-.
trusted, having no pecuniary interest at stake,
selected only withayieW to their fitness, ,and setting
simply from motives of public welfare, can, Of
course, be expected to consider all clains with
the greatest kindness and patience. AS to any
delicacy about receiving charity, that would be
most baseless. There is no though. Of charity
about it, It is simple justice. If the Government
should impress your slave into service, IAN offer Of
compensation Wonld hardly be considered charity.
If the necessities Of the community cali 50 loudly
on your son or husband for his services that it
amounts to kind Of moral impressing, the com.
muni.y mast expect to compensate you for the
loss you sustain. No one should be aslamed to
demand and receive what Is justly due. NJ

Why DO WE Lose SO MANY OFFICERS IN LATE
BATTLES ?-" Hermes,' ~ writing to the Charleston
Mercury from Richmond, alluding to the battle Of
Gen. Jackson near Winchester, says:
It will be noticed that in this battle, as at Elk
horn in Arkansas, and other recent actions, onr
losses in officers have been grieyous.s To Account
for this by the real or supposed rashness Of the
officers themselves, will not answer. II will be
found, sooner or later that the Yankees have or
ganized in each army q band OF praoticed sharp
shooters, whose business it is, with long range
rifles, to pick off the officers. By means Of teles-
copic sights, this can be done at great distance,
and where the sharpshooter himself is entirely out
of danger. All he has to do is to put his rifle at
rest, adjust his telescope, and shoot down officer
after officer. The design in this murderous bnsi
ness Is obvious. The Yankee theory is that the
rebellion is due to men of influence, by whose per-
nicious example the ignorant are led astray from
the fold Of the " glorious Union.n Destroy the
leaders, and the rest become like lost sheep.
The conduct Of the army under zollioofer, after
that heroic man had fallen, gave countenance. to
the theory, and SO did Van Dorns retreat after
the loss Of McCu,loch and others. 1t is probable
that guns have been specially constructedsfor the
purpose alluded to--guns like old John Browns,
that will carry mile. What are we to do with
these wretches? ! answer, as jackson did at
Manassas, when told that the enemy were driving
us back, t"We'll give them the bayonet, sir-the
