Emigration of 1861.

The annual report of the New York
Commissioners of Emigration has just been
published. The whole number landed at
the port of New York during the year
1861, was 92,725. Of these, 27,l96 were
citizens, or persons not subject to bonds or
Communication and 65,529 were aliens, for
whom Communication was paid, or bonds ex.

grants of 1868 from 1860, and being
1878 less than in 1859, 1908 less than
in the year 1858, and lis, 244 less than in
1857; whilst the proportion to the aver
age Of former years, since l847, is much
less than half. Of these emigrants, 81, l39
were from Germany, 25,7o4 from ireland,
5,632 from England, and 6.974 from other
countries.
In connection with the preceding reports,
we compile the following interesting table,

A military correspondent of the Indian
apolis Journal, writing from Munfordsville,
Kentucky, states that before he left our
Green River camps, a gentleman had just
reached there, who had left Nashville on
the day of the reception of the news Of the
fall of Fort Donelson. He is very strong
Union man, and had premeditated an es.
cape to our lines some time since, but the
strictness of the rebel guards had prevent.
ed the consummation of bis plans, until eve
rything had been thrown into confusion by
this, to the rebels, most terrible news. He
represents the state of excitement at Nash,
vile as being unprecedented. A perfect
panic reigned throughout the whole city.
The streets were thronged with people wild
with excitement. Leading rebels were
making speeches from store goods boxes,
from the street cor ners, to the excited pop
ulace, stating that the Federals were upon
them, that the city was defenceless, and apr
peaEng to every man who had any species
Of firearms, to rally to the defence of the
place. He says that these appeals had but
very littn effect, and there seemed to be
little, il any, system about anything that
looked to reshtance. During the confusion
he made good bis escape to Munfordsville

They could not carry their packs or mus

mile or two of the double, which indeed
might have tiled older soldiers than they
were. They were brave enough no doubt,
and had will enough to fight, but they had

COLONEL OF THE MINNESOTA F1Rsr.-
We are informed by the Governor that be
has appointed and commissioned Captain
Alfred Sully of the Second United States
Infantry, Colonel of the First Minnesota
Regiment, vice Colonel Dana, promoted,
and that Captain SulIy has accepted the
appointment.
The appointment was made, we under
stand, at the recommendation OF Col. Dnna,
and at the request of the officers of the
Regiment. Captain Sully is a native of
Pennsylvania, and entered the army as
Second Lieutenant in 184l, and in 1852
was promoted to Captaincy. Having
been in command of one of the United
States posts in this State, for considerable
length of time, he made many acquaintan-
ces, aud all who formed his acquaintance
speak highly of him as gentleman and
q soldier, and anticipate that under his
command our eavorite First" will win still
greater rer,wn than now attaches to it.

Earl RUSSELL has assured the South.
ern Commissioners that England will not
recognize the Southern Contederacy until
the war or further negotiations more clearly
determined their position. The late victo.
ries, following in such quick succession
will settle the question for the present, al
least.
There seems to be constellation of re.
bel Generals at Nashville. Pillow, JOHN.
SON, FLOYD and BEAUREaARD-thel latter
sick of typhoid fever-are there, and it is
reported they have no idea of surrendering
the city. General BUELL. has joined bis
advancing columns and may have some.
thing to say in the determination of this
question.
Gen. HALLEcK has issued proclama-
ton TO the troops entering Tennessee and
other Southern States. 1t contains the
usual warnings against depredations on pri>
vate property and a strong reiteration OF
the famous order No. g." prohibiting me-
groes from entering the army lines. Not
withstanding the abuse heaped on General
HALLECK, when be first announced the
above mentioned order, he adheres to it per.
tinaceously, and it is understood to have
worked admirably in practice, and proved
satisfactory to all who are fighting to re
store the Union rather than for the aboli-
ton of slavery.

JEFF. DAVIS was inaugurated Presi-

T,YE WAR AT IT'S CRISES.

The Rebellion is to make or break within the
ensuing month. A guerrilla warfare, or any
other form of protracted and harassing defense,
is seen by the leaders to be impracticable in
region largely peoped by slaves. Slavery or
the Rebellion-one or both-must 60 down if
war of skirmishes, surprises and petty, har-
assng fOrays, is 10 be attempted. Instead Of
th.s the master-spirits have desperately yet
wisely resolved to stake their all pon a single
cast. They have ordered general conscrp
ton Of oil their white males-UniOnist aud
Rebel alike--between the ages Of Is and 50,
with intent to precipitate these in Overpowering
numbers upon the divided Union forces now
far in tho heart OF Slayedom, expecting 10
crush ont several il not al of our widely
separated armies, and thus achieve conclusive
triumph. At the came time they are working
hard TO create navy Of iron-pisted or
cottOn-breasted yessels hoping By its aid 10
break open some Of their ports, achieve at least
local aud temporary success over the Union
blOckaders, and thus secure the importation Of
large quantities Of superior Arms and Ammu-
wants.
On our own side while we consider the
vide dispersion of our forces a mistake. it viii
hardly be doubted that our soldiers are in ad-
mirable condition for the imminent confid.
Gen. Mcclellan and Gen. Haleck command
the two greatest and most effective armies
ever vet concentrated on the American conf
ncut-aTmies lot merely ready but eager for
the fray. On the other hand, the Rebels,
though seeming TO cherish an enormous con
ceit Of their own valor and an utter scorn OF
our proves, 40 yet manage to skuk behind
intrenchments and huddle together in forts,
waiting for US TO attack them at enormous
disadvantage. They have always held that
their men were superior TO ours; but they never
attack unless they have very great disparity OF
force as at Wilson's Spring, Pea Ridge, and
Shiloh, or suppose they have, as at Mill Spring.
Though they have probably quito as many men
to-day at COriDth as Gen. uaeck can bring
against them, they await bis attack IN their
stronghold, and boast that the strength Of their
intrenchments viii enable them to
repef any assault. And on the narrow York
town peninsula, they erect defenses behind de-
fenses trusting more to these than to their
OWN valor TO save them from defeat. What
ever may be the issue Of the pending struggles,
therefore, we trust there will be no more
.neers at Yankee yalor from tho rebellious
Chivalry. They have built monuments to it all
over their country which peace cannot eface
in half century.
