seuthcrn Coercion.

Northern doughfaces and "conserya-
tives' have had much to say against Eco
ercion" of our Southern brethren" But
secessionists have no scruples about CO.
ercing Union men into supporting rebel
lion. A correspondent of the Richmond
(Va.) Dispatch, writing from Monroe
county, Virginia, says:
The militia are gathering at their diff
fercnt places of rendezvous in goodly
numbers. One Of the recusant ones, who
utterly refused to 60, and swore he would
die before he would 70, drew . knife mp
on the guards Who went for him, when
the guard fred upon him, breaking his
leg about the knee-joint. His leg will
have to be ampu tated--a sad warning to
all others Of his disposition. Our court
met yesterday to trsBsact business in con-
nection with the proclamation Of the Pres
ident to establish martial law ia this eoun-
ty. We hope that when this law is car
ried out, the Union men will be hunted
up and treated as they deserve. 81
The Nashville Patriot Of the 10th ult.
says: ',a4.
We learn from gentleman Of veracity,
direct from Chattanooga. that the Vigi-
lance Committee of that place recently
held meeting, and determined to put to
death fifteen or twenty Of the prominent
Union men of that vicinity upon the ap.
proach Of the National Army. The he'll.
deserving villains that constitute these
vigilance committees OF the slave States
will certainly meet with . just retribu.
ton for the atrocious acts Of which they
have been guilty during the progress Of
this rebellIous attempt to disrupt The
American Union.

An sther Letter from Jehn Bright.
Mr.. James Forsyth, of Troy, New
York, has received the following note
from John Bright:
..socHDALE, April 10, 1862.
1DEAx SlR: write you short note to
thank you-f your letter of the 9Th Of
February last. 1t is great qualification
to me to know from many letters from
the States, that my speech, to which you
50 kindly refer, has given so much salts
faction amongst your countrymen. 1t
was spoken to your people as much as to
ours, and / believe it has done good in
both countries.
"At this moment there is here the ut
most tranquility in regard to American
questions, and it is rare TO find man who
processes sympathy for the South. My
own clear opinion 10, that an overwhelm-
ing majority Of the English people would
rejoice greatly at the complete success Of
your Government and the restoration Of
your Union. | hope this may soon be
realized, and that you will not fail to FL
an incurable wound in the. grand evil
which has been the one cause Of your
troubles.
. "Wc are interested in the proposition
of the President to compensate the States
which are willing to give up their slaves,
and hope it may produce good effect,
though it is very difficult for men who
have exercised an absolute authority over
all about them, to consent to give mp
their power. Weare looking for tidings
from Virginia, and from your great river,
where events of the greatest moment are
now taking place.
"With many thanks for your very kind
letter, believe me always with great res
pect, yours. JOHN BRIGHT.

had been made to the Secretary, i was
called into his Office, whore l was de-

On Tuesday Col. Dickey with largo
force of cavalry made reconnaissance
towards Purdy, 10 miles north of Corinth.
Some 6 miles this side he came upon large
force of rebel cavalry who fed in great
disorder on approach of our troops who
pursued and took possession of the town.
After destroying locomotive and two
bridges and taking several prisoners, in
Guiding Lieutenant, our force retired.
Subsequently Lew Wallace's division
moved forward and took possession of the
town without opposition we did not lose
man. Previous to this exploit the enc
my's left flank had rested on Purdy.
Mortar boats below are firing on Fort
Pillow at intervals Of ten minutes. Com.
foote is preparing for general attack on

our feet was expected from rebel gun
boats, and the entire fotilla formed in

made. The rebels reply to our mortars
at long rates, but without effect.
