We are told by gentleman who has been
with him throughout, that with fifteen thous-
and men under his command, it has cost the
Government nothing for forage, and very
little, comparatively, for pay. One instance of
his readiness may be related: He took fort
composed chiefly of cotton bales he first made
these bales floating bridge, over which he
carried all his wagons and troops, and he then
shipped them to Nashville by railroad, and he
sold them for twenty thousand dollars in gold

MEMPHIS, July Ia.
Gen. Curtis entire command arrived at He
lena on the 18th.
The army left Batesville June oath, and
reached jackson Port on the 26th. On the I'd
OF July they started across the country. On
the 4th, while the 18th Illinois regiment was
coming down the White River with load of
cotton, they were fired on by guerrillas, seven
miles below Grand Glaze. The fire was re-
turned, and the rebels fed.
A contraband taken on board the next dav,
says that he saw 10 dead rebels near the scene
of action.
On the 18th Gen. Curtis advance, consisting
of a battalion of LIST Ind. cavalry, 11th Wis.
and 33d Ill. regiments, were attacked by two
regiments of Texan cavalry and a large force
of infantry. The federals had four mounted
howitzers, which were brought to bear on the
rebels with terrible effect, causing their caval-
ry TO break in disorder running over the in
fantry, throwing them into confusion, and ter
minating in an utter rout.
The rebels were pursued by our forces, who
captured large number of persons who were
afterward parsled. After the battle our troops
buried ITO rebels on the field.
Our loss was killed, among them Captain
Slocum of the l1th Wisconsin, and 32 wound
ed. Maj. Glender of the LIST Indiana cavalry,
was seriously injured The rebels had no ar
tillery, which accounts for their heavy loss as
compared with ours. Notwithstanding their
long and forced marches, Gen. Curtis army is
in good condition. When they arrived at He
lena they had but days supplies.
CHICAGO, July 10.

NORTHERN AND EUROPEAN NEWS

RICHMOND, Nov 13-Northern dates to the
18th inst. have been received at Fredericksburg.
Gen. Mcclellan has been removed and Burn
side placed in command Of the army of the Poto-
mac. The reason for this is that Mcclellan re-
fused to advance, and the Harper's Ferry Com
mission having censured him in the official report
The Sciota has arrived, with Lord Lyons and
Simon Cameron passengers. No Cabinet
Council was held in England on the 23d October,
as summoned. 1t was postponed indefinitely on
the morning of the meeting
The London Times says that Sir g. g. Lewis
expresses the opinion Of the English Govern
ment. The communications of the French Min
lister in relation to matters at New Orleans are not
likely to lead to any complication
Ion, of the Baltimore Sun, says that Lord
Lyons will visit Richmond in ten days
Cameron thinks there will be interv ention by
the meeting of Parliament He says the Con-
federaes are getting a feet ready in English
ports to attack New York
FRANCE AND RoME.-The late change of Min
listers in France, by the retirement Of NJ. Thouve-
mel and the succession Of NJ. Drouyn de Lhuys is
not unfavorabe to Confederate interests as at first
stated by the United States papers; but the con-
trary. The change, however did not grow out
of the American question. but the italian. The
Emperor Napoleon has decided against Italian un-
lty so Tar as home Is concerned; that is to say
Rome remains under the temporal sway of the
Pope, instead of being turned over to the King of
Italy. 1t was on this point that Thouvenel resign

In this connection the present statistics of

THE UNITED STATES ELECTIONS.

We publish further details of the election re-
suits in several of the States of the enemy.
They confirm the reports already published, be-
sides some additional news.
The change against Lincoln is very great, and
doubtless is very disquieting to him. So anxious
was he as to the result, that he betook himself to
the telegraph office ia the War department to re-
ceive the returns piece-meal. The story which
came to him from the single State of New York,
was that an auti-administration governor was
elected; that an antiadministration legislature
was elected which would put another in
Preston Kings place U. S. Senator; that TWEEN
t. democrats and eleven administration men have
beer elected to Congress IN the place Of ten demo-
Gratis and twenty-three administration men-mak
ing party change in a division of the House of
no less than trertyt,ro to his disadvantage. New
Jersey spoke in smaller voice, but to the same
purport, and still more emphatically.
The tfcct OF these elections upon the Only
question that interests US win be seen in due
time Perhaps it would be iupolitic to utter our
speculations. The people of the United States
have at least declared by this vote, that Lincoln
! is prosecuting this by wicked and forbidden
means. They have affirmed and endorsed our
| own charges in this respect. Aud it is to be
hoped that returning reason may bring them to
proper conclusions as to the termination Of the
war, as well its civilization.
Meanwhile, duty is to assume the worst and
prepare for it. If the Democrats step forward
and undertake the management of the war, they
may become as bad as the bad men WHOM they
now condemns and have displaced The tendency
of defeat and disappointment is to exasperate aud
embltter The Passions of thus intiamed de-
mand the use of every means that promises sue
cess, without much regard to its lawfulness.
Whoever sets about our suLjagotjon fixed aim
and purpose, will do all that Lincoln has done
and designed, it, like Lincoln, his efforts are
baffied by notifying and humiliatiug defeats.
Let us, then, prepare just as if Lincoln had
triumphed. Perhaps We should prepare still more
! energetica!ly. The result Of the elections may
take the pressure from Mcclellan and leave him
to his prosy policy. In order to end the war we
shall then have to seek and to make all the fights
We must be strong enough not simply to repulse,
but to attack.
Let the parties in the United States, whatever
be their name and the differences between them,
understand fully and perfectly that separate in
dependence is our irrevocable determination, and
will be defended against all corners, with al the
toratude and courage and prowess at our com-
mand.-Richnsond Enquirer.

advices from New Orleans we have the following
interesting news:

estate

taken from French citizens and the slaves he had
robbed them Of The beast replied that no would
consult his masters at Washington. The Consul
Informed him that his orders were peremptory and
must be at once complied with. He would not grant
time for consultation with the Yankee Govern
ment.
The British ship Rinaldo had returned to New
Orleans, and was creating stir among the Yam

eas;ons his sympathy with the South.
Nothing had been done with those who had ia

private letter from Providence, from which the
following is an extract The letter is dated Octo-
Der Goth, 1862:
We had some excitement here last week, at the
time Of the departure of the 18th regiment. Part
OF the men refused to SO, because they had not
received the whole of their bounty. Gov. Sprague
ordered part of the battery on the ground to in
timidate them; but that Gid not do much good, for
the 18th made charge and took one of the guns
and spiked it. The battery boys told them if
they would drive Sprague off the ground they
(the battery boys,) would turn the cannon on
him and keep him off. They pelted him with bits
of bread, and one whole loaf struck him on the
head and nearly knocked him off his horse TIE
very devil was to pay for time, but finally things
got Gained down; but the boys did not 20, and
they have not all gone yet.
