dollars worth of cotton and shipping
when that city fell into. the hands of
the Federals and it is to-day stated in

Memphis and New Orleans, in an,ici.

Interesting Southern News.

sd Z NeIN ATT, May Is.
The Commedeial has the following Southern
news: The Memphis Aralanehs of the 9th says
telegraphic news from Richmond is painfully sig
.nifcant. Gen. Mcclellan seems to have been pre-
pairing the same fate for Richmond that Butler and
Porter got up for New Orleans.
The .4calancAs of the same date says Of affairs
in New Orleans, that Mayor Munroe and all the
Aldermen have been arrested, and on refusing to
take the oath were sent to prison. Great distress
prevails in the city. Food of all kinds was ex-
tremely scarce; -four not to be had at any price
There is of the Federal forces vet to be land
ed, and the river is full of Federal gunboats NOR
tars, and transports.
" The Aralaxc4e says that the Congressional
stampede from Richmond had very depressing
effect and it is believed it foreshadowed the early
evacuation of Virginia. The policy of evacuating
is nearly played out, we have precious little
more territory that we spare.
The Memphis 1igus says that the Confederate
loss at Shiloh was seven thousand killed and
wounded.

Tnnow1NG SroNEs AT THE Cars

Throwing STONES At THE CARS
Two fellows, attaches or hangers on, of Sands
Circus, which showed here on Tuesday last, were
arrested on the morning of that day charged with
throwing stones at the cars of the Michigan Central
Railroad on Monday night last. 1t appears that
they got on the night express train at Niles, to
come to this village and not having money or re-
fusng pay their fare the conductor very properly
set them of, when they commenced throwing stones
at the car windows. Whether any Of the stones
went into the cars we have not learned After
being arrested, they were placed under the charge
of an officer; who, after Handwriting them, placed
them in the care of citizen while he tthe ofHcer)
was arresting couple of drunken Indians who
were fighting. While the person in whose charge
they had been left was seeing the fight, the pris-
oners very composedly walked off, carrying the
bracelets with them; and have not been seen since.
1t is be hoped that they may be retaken, and
justice melted out to them. ia

Mckinney, late State Treasurer, has been sentenced
to seven years incarceration in the State Prison,
for embezrlement of the State funds Mr.. McKin-
ney is an old man, and the sentence will fall heavily
upon him. But he not only suffers for his own
crime but for the good of the State for generations
to come. His clreer and fate will prove as
warning, restraining tempted weak men from guilt
and preserving the public treasure for its proper
uses. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were dis
honestly distracted from our treasury in the early
and latter days of democratic administration in
Michigan, but neTer was man prosecuted for dis
honesty. The Republicans adopted different
rule. Mr.. Mckinney simpropertransaction were
detected by Republican State officers; he was ex-
posed by them, and their Republican successors
have brought him ia trial. and secured his con-
viction. No party can guard against dishonesty,
but the Republican party of Michigan has never
sanctioned or permitted it. This is an honorable
record
