The Lexington and st. Louis, which went up the
White river above st. Charles some miles, bavs re-
turned and the expedition is at present lying OIL
the little town in Arkansas. consultation has
been held this evening between Commodore Davis
and Gen. Wallace in regard TO future movements
but the result Of their conference has not TRANSFERRED
THE PROSPECT OF THE CAPTURE OF viCKSBURG.
The opinion seems generally entertained here that
the gunboats Of Daviss Fleet will not 90 to Nicks'
burg, unless they are specially needed. No doubt
Farragut can readily manage Eickfburg which ID
held by the Mississippians merely to give them al
opportunity TO say they were the last defenders Oh
the great river and, theoretically and pneuma'icay
the final diers in the final ditch.
ARREST OF STERLING PRICES ORDERLY.
The orderly of Gen. Sterling Price wos arrested
here, day or two ago, under rather peculiar CIR
cumstance. lie did not know, or did not believe,
that Memphis was in possession OF the Union forces,
and came here on horseback to obtain bottle OF
whisky. lie obtained the desired article, and war
departing from the town when he encountered one
Of our pickets, who demanded bis business, aad
charged him with being Rebel.
The orderly asked the picket to take drink, but
the latter said he knew something about Secession
poison and would not accept bis invitation, com
pelng the Rebel to swallow at least gill OF the
contents of his bottle. Looking o.. the enemy for
some time, and finding there was no prospect oil the
fellows dying from what he had imbibed, the
Unonist concluded to try the whisky himself: lie

The orderly is quite young, and really an anllabe
and pleasant fellow whose relation Of his capure Is
very amusing. lie says he is tired TO death OF tie
war, and wishes il were over; but that, as he has
gotten into the COMPOUNDED thing. he wishes to re-
main on the side he first espoused lie Is decidedly
Impair ia in his political opinions; thinking Jeh.
Davis and Abe Lincoln ought both TO be hanged
and declaring, if he had the power, he would not
know which of the two TO swing first. lie believes
the Rebels are hopeesy beaten and they must sue
cumb sooner OF later, and he don't care who whips,
20 the COMPOUNDED thing, afavorite phrase with
him is over.
The orderly has been sent 10 Cairo on his parole,
q very candid and very careless young scapeQrace.
SERVICES AT AN AFRICAN CHURCH.
Yesterday, some Of the Bohenisns concluded TO
attend service at an African church, up town, learn
ing that revival" was going on there, and that
the religious performances were oil the most extra
ordinary character.

We visited the church vt the time piety was rag

phenomena Of campmeeiings, must say was un'

There was no excess of voice, language or motion
they did not practice; 10 udlcrous hylerhoic they
did not manifest; and it was difficult TO conceive tie
entire service was aught more thah b.fiesluc on

No doubt the negroes were very earnest IN their
manifestations of ,ioty; but tney assurcdly had a
queer mode Of displaying their zeal.
A number of geutcclly-iressei white women,
residens OF Memphis were present, and also score
of men OF culture OF the Caucasian race; and u Is
