Federal Reports from Helena.

From the Memphis Balletin, Aug. 29l
By the arrival of the steamboat B5lle Creole
We have late news from Helena, which place is
at present the center Of military movements in
this district.
Oa Thursday body of eight hundred troops
left that place for the interior Their desiina-
ton had not been made known; but circumstan-
ces led to the belief that they were bound for the
neighborhoOd of the st. Francis river They
lef. Helena in three boats Their arrival at the
St. Francis seems probable from the fact that
the guerrillas were engaged in burning cotton
along that stream. AS the Belle Creole passed
the vicinity of the st. Francis they saw three
different fires, evidently from burning cotton by
the whiteness of the smoke.
The gunboat fleet was lying quietly in the
river opposite Helena, but movements we're
pretty frequent, boats leaving for down stream
or returning from that direction. The FaiI
Play was lying at anchor in the river. She is a
nice boat and was the property of Cspt. Joseph
Wiley, who ran her in the YszOo trade. lie was
Union man and his boat was seized by the
SecessiOnists, and he himself found it necessary
to fly and hide himself among the mountains
Il is confidently stated at Helena that the mum
Der Of arms on board the Fair Play was neither
Eve nor seven thousand stand, IS has been sta
ted, but nins thousand. A gentleman witt
whom we cOuversed was assured by the mate o
the ram STitzerlsnd, one of the boats engaged
10 the capture Of the Fair Play that there wa:
nine thousand stand of arms on that boat. Ths
arms were still on board the Fair Play on Wed
nesday
1t is stated and generally credited in Hslena
that General Curtis has been superseded. w,
hear combinations of the alleged fact in this
city The motives for this proceeding will
doubtless soon be made public l. is said tha;
Gen. Curtis viii leave Helena at a very early
day.

A couple of desertgrs from McCellan's army,
who had been left behind with others st Bsrke-
lev, to deceive any Confederate pickets who
might be endeayoring to investigate the state OF
affairs in the vicinity Of Harfs0n's Landing,
came acToss James riyer yesterday morning, and
surrendered to our pickets at COggin.s Point
These men belong to an Illinois cavalry regi-
ment, and volunteered from the city OF Chicago.
One Of them is a man about twenty-five years OF
age, of very pTepossessiug appearance, more
than ordinsry intelligence, and quite communl-
cativs. The other appears morose, has stupid

gives the losses in the recent battles, from all
causes, at O.000 men, but says that those who
survive and still remain win Mcclellan, are
many Of them. far from being efficient.
He gives il as his opinion, from al be could

end to all further efforts to capture Richmond.
These deserters admit that McCieiaU's army

Springfield 1Euskets Wanted.

The War Department IS oVerrun with appl-
cations from all directions for Springfield
muskets for the troops under the new call, now
ready to take the field. The supply of that style
Of muskets is not at present equal to the de-
mand, and the department is making pro rata
division among the States. The New England
troops are specially stringent on the point OF
having no arm but the Springfield musket
Governor Morton has been telegrspbing for
more arms Immediately for the Indiana troops,
and Governor Dennison has been here on sim
liar errand for Ohio. Their applications are
being answered with the statement that they can
have only a certain number of Springfield guns,
but that there are plenty of good Austrian rifles
that can be forwarded at once.
Between this and Monday three cargses OF
captured arms sTe expected to arrive, which will
at once be used to supply the present wants. 1t
is not known what these arms are, but they are
supposed to be Enfield rifles. The ships mani
fes:s were all thrown overheard before capture,
and the boxes are marked scythes," " hoes, "
etc, so that it is Impossible to tell how much can
be depended on from this source till the vessels
get into port and ara unloaded.
Within short time the governments orders
for arms from abroad will also begin 10 be filed,
and meRnwhile tho manufacture at the govern

no scarcity Of arms now, but all cannot be

The FeeIing in the North.

The Macon Georgia. Telegraph has the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Two ladies' Of high respectability, known in
this vicinity, arrived here from the North day
before yesterday. They were nearly three
weeks on the passage, but got through without
molestation They report the people of the
North under strong Encouragement about the
war, and one of them brings assurance from a
Federal officer, in a not unimportant position,
that if the South holds out faithfully little
while longer the North will break down. They
say they encountered Morgan at GAllatin, and
his men surrounded their train. Morgan con-
veTsed a long time with the gentemsn who
acted as their escort, and got the latest North
ern news. They say they learned in Tennessee
that a mail bag from Buell. had fallen in our
possession, and dispatch from him to The Lin
celn War Department, found in it, saying that
unless be was reinforced heavily within a short
time, his army would inevitably be cut off and
DESTROYED.

We have information which leaves no doubt
that Richmond since the withdrawal from Hsr
rison's Landing, has been nearly denuded Of
troops, and that Gen. Lee, with Longstreet and
the others, has gone to GordOnsville at their
head, with the hope Of overwhelming POPe's
army. A considerable force has been left in the
neghboThood of Fort Darling to resist our gun
boats, which have not been withdrawn from
James river, as has been stated. Commodore
Wilkes IS under orders different from those that
govern the action Of Gen. Mcclellan.
The intended withdraw OF Gen, Mcclellan
was known il Richmond at least as soon AS it
was published in New York. Instead of pursu-
ing, they set off for GordonsviIle, with greater
activity aud more celebrity, it is feared, than have
