The New York EVenmg Post, speaking oil
the rumor of a rebel feet having broke the
blockade at Mobile, says:
1t is not likely that an iron-cEad feet
could leave European ports and cross the
ocean without the knowledge of our gov
ernment. 1t is, however, not impossible
that number of armed ships have been
gradually and stealthily fitted out, and sent
to make sudden onslaught on our block
aiding ships off Mobile. Some two months
ago our Nassau, New Providence, CORES
pondent wrote, that there were then ten
ships in Nassau, all strong, and if armed
making formidable fleet. One of these
was afterwards Seized by British man of
war, for an evident intention to commit n
breach of the neutrality laws.
The others may have got out, aud by
sudden and combined attack overpowered
our fleet. If this is true, however, the mis-
chief will be quickly repaired. Commo-
dore Farragut is not man to suffer the
rebels to beard him and he has the means
to re-estBblish the blockade at once.
1t is well, however, to remember, that it,
as this dispatch asserts, the blockade was
broken "by dint of superior strength and
weight of metal" some vessels of our block
aiding feet must have been seriously dam
aged or destroyed. Such an event would
not have been passed by without notice in
the rebel accounts and the absence of any
allusion to the loss inflicted on us makes
the whole story improbable.

Mr.. Wickliffe, of Kentucky, has been
making speech to the "sth of january
tories in Indiana, to such of them, at least,
as are still out of prison. We noticed,
few days ago, the fact that thirteen promi-
nent men of this party, had imprudently
committed themselves, at Newburg, by aid
ing the guerrillas who came to sack that
town, and these are now, unfortunately, in
prison or outlawed. Mr.. WicklifFe called
upon his hearers to resist the laws of the
land. He melted them to resist the act
OF Congress ordering the Commander-in-
Chief to use all blacks who come into our
lines. He did his best to give aid and
comfort to the enemy by false statements
calculated to stop enlistments, and to ex-
cite one portion Of the people against the
other.
How long is such REASONABLE conduct to
be tolerated2 The other day a paltry
wretch, caught near one of the enlisting
booths in the Park dissuading men from
entering the service, was apprehended, and
adespatch from Washington consigned him
promptly to Fort Lafayette. But here is a
man of education, of position, who has
thousand times the power for mischief; he
is permitted to go into loyal state and
make speeches, the plain intention and only
possible result of which is to discourage
enlistments; aud this at the very moment
when our armies are in the utmost need of
reinforcements, when every day and every
man is precious, and when our brave fell
lows may at any moment be cut to pieces
by a superior force of the enemy. Allthis
Mr. WieklifFe knows. and he chooses his
time accordingly. The most adroit spy and
agent of Davis could not do his master
more effective service. How long are these
volunteer rebel agents to be tolerated
these men who have threats only for loyal
and Union-loving citizens; who intrigue
only against the safety of our armies? If
giving aid aud comfort to the public enemy
is treason, aud il treason is crime to be
punished, then let these traitors be seized,
and either sent to the rebels, where they
belong, or put where they cannot. plot
against the Union, labor to destroy our ar
mics, aud help the public enemy.

THE vicksburg correspondent of the St
Louis Republican writes :-"I mentioned a
few days ago that it was rumored that
Breckinridge was trying to get to Europe
via Mexico. The rumor originated in
yicksburg, was brought over by desert
er, and was not altogether without founda-
ton. 1t seems that the follower OF Burr.
his ''illustrious predecessor" went to visit
his friend, the priucely Keen Richards,
near Milikeu's Bend, at whose house he
was taken unwell. His friends in Vicks-
burg, not knowing where he was, but
thinking he would be sharp enough to
"draw out' at the right moment, began TO
mistrust that he had left them for safer
climes. But not so. While he was yet
unwell, Minis Massachusetts Battery made
an excursion up the river as far as Mill
ken's Bend, and as they stopped near
Richards, the ex-vice President got
alarmed, and departed for other quarters
in family carriage, with the curtains
down. AS he was riding along, several of
the artiIlerymen unwittingly passed the
carriage on the road. 1 would like to
know how many pulsatious minute the
heart of the gallant General made during
the casual meeting"

PARISH, June %, 1862 I
Mr. EDIToR-SIR:- Yesterday, about 2
o clock r. NJ, we were somewhat startled
with the intelligence that party of Company
H., numbering thirty men. who were sent up
the railroad from Bayou Des Almands In the
cars to examine the track and see il it was ia
running order, had proceeded up eight or ten
miles from the Station, and near Raceland,
and were running very slowly, havinga ser
geant, two corporals and two or three privates
on ahead to see If any damage had been done
the track, were fred upon from an ambush.
The two Lieuts. Franklin and Holton were
on the train at the time and were both
wounded at the first fire. Two corporals
who were on the track ahead were both killed
and one private; while one who was mortally
wounded managed to get aboard the train,
where he died in short time. The sergeant
(Winslow,) who was with those on the track
returned unframed, while bis comrades on
either side were killed. As soon as possible
the Lieuts. ordered the steam reversed and
the train went back They had gone within
a dozen rods Of where the track was torn up
and wood work burned The train was some
forty miles or more from here when this af-
fair occurred, and therefore the wounded
could notreceye medical attendance until two
OF three hours after. 1t was dyed by those
present that the guerrillas numbered from
fifty to seventy-fvo men. and they were eff

| NASHVILLE. July Ia,
Between 5000 or 1000 Georgians, Texant
and guerrilas, under Col Forrest, attacked
the 18th Michigan and Sd Minnesota reei
ments, in Murfreesboro', at an early hour thii
morning. There was desperate fighting
but at o'clock, p. m. the Michigan troop
had surrendered. The Minnesotians were
strongly entrenchod, and cut the enemy tc
pieces terribly with Hewetts Kentucky bat
terry, repulsing them with great slaughter in
three charges. Flags Of truce were sent in
by Col. Forrest, demanding their surrender
Col. Leslie replied that he could hold hi.
position for week. The Railroad track
was torn up, but was replaced, an attack on
Nashville is not improbable. Col Leslie is
reported falling back en- Nashville. The can.

NASHVILLE, July II.
Special dispatch to the New York Herald.
The city is filed with the rumors Of a fight
at Murfreesboro The most reliable reports
confirm the statement about a fight having oc-
CURED.
The following particulars are given About
O'Clock this morning, large force Of rebel
cavalry, under command of Col. Forrest,
composed principally oftwo Georgia and one
other regular cavalry regiment, drove in our
pickets and assaulted the town. The 9th
Michigan regiment, Col. Parkhurst. were sur
rounded and captured. The Sd Minnesota.
Col Leslie, and Hewett's Kentucky battery,
made gallant resistance Their bravery is
beyond praise. They saved the railroad track
and bridge losing but few men. The rebels
destroyed the depot and other property, in
GLIDING the telegraph Office. The town was
being shelled by Hewett's battery, at last re-.
ports.
At p. m. to-day Forrest was not expect
ed to make any attempt on Nashville, as he
will find work enough to attend to before APP
preaching the city.
BY reliable accounts he has 5000 cavalry,
but no artillery or infantry. Entire conf

90 defend that city and to restore tranquility
in the neighborhood.

The guerrllas have fallen back toward

was SO killed and GO wounded. The rebel
loss was so killed and 100 wounded. The
citizens take good care of the wounded,
and have buried the dead lett by the rebels.
