The British prize steamer Memphis, captured by the
United States gunboat Magnolia, off Charleston, South
'arona, ou the 3lst ut, now lies at anchor off the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. To the superficial observer the
appearance of the Memphis not particularly striking
the symmetry Of the vessel is obscured under thick
coat of lead coored paint. To the eonnosseur OF ma,
rine architecture the is different In the captured
steamer they vessel of superior symmetry grace
full sharp lines and other indications OF swtness and
great speed. Indeed the Memphis has all the archltec
lural ornaments and improvements for which the Brit
ish ram vessels justly celebrated viz The sharp
bow inclined sdes and graceful round stern. Her en-
CINE in itself is superb piece of mechanism works to
a charm and drives the vessel with uncommon speed
The Memphis has good carrying capacity, and will make
nexcellent government reghter troop transport
When captured her ships furniture was all that could
be desired for the comfort and luxury of the officers
crew. Apropos of the capture of the Memphis A
before stated she captured by the United State
steamer Magnolia, herself recently captured prize
which on her first cruise under the Federal nag
aud had been bat few days out from this port WneI
she had the good luck to overhaul this rich prze To
proceeds of which are to be divided among 'Sma
crew. The Magnolia only succeeded in capturng. IN
Memphis by her superior speed
The Memphis was heavily loaded with cotton.

SIR thank you for your former courtesies and am

mands continual contradiction.
The statement in the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch in
your Tuesdays issue that arrested" and that
implicated in reasonable plots, or in any other
thing disloyal," is an impudent fabrication of the
ANONYMOUS scoundre who telegraphed it. How long is
the telegraph to be prcstituted to such infamous false

A SPECIMEN OF YANKEE BARBAR1T8-Soon after
the occupation of Memphis by the FederaIs forces,
difficulty occurred between Yankee soldier and cti-
zen named FOREST, brother of our gallant Gen. For
EST, resulting, might have been expected, in the
death of the Yankee. FOREST is infrm man, so
much so that his limbs are contracted and it is with
difficulty that be get about upon crutches. he
was Immediately seized by the Federal authorities and
after having been kept irons for several weeks he
put into wooden box but little longer than his body
bored with holes barely sufficient to admit the
sary air to sustain life In this condition he trans
erred to the most heated part of of their gunboats
lying opposite the city, where he fed bread and
water and steamed to the utmost extent of endurance,
without taking the life of their suffering victim. He
was in this condition when his brother, Gen. FOREST,
made his gallant and successful charge Murfrees-
boro since which time, for fully satisfactory
to themselves they have thought it prudent to iberate
their victim and Danish him beyond their lines.

WATER ON THE CARS FOR SoLD1ERs.--We again

should be provided for the accommodation of our many
troops who travel the We chanced to witness
a few days since which touched our sympathies
very deeply, and suggested this notice. A large num-
Ser of soldiers crowded into the cars-many more
than seats were furnished for The weather was ex-
ceedingly hot, they were weary and worn down, and
almost fantng for the want of water and yet
to be had. Why this neglect? Whose duty is ?
We supposed, of course that the officers connected with
