AsnSns, Aug. -.
Hon. John 8. Phelps, military Gov.
ernor Of Arkansas, addressed . large
audience At the Court House Square
last evening, and urged vigorous pros
ecntion Of the war, and prophecied the
suppression OF the rebellion within IL
months.
A guerrilla band, five hundred strong,
is within ten miles of Memphis. To-
day they burned large quantity OF cot
ton 10 Raleigh and vicinity, and des-
troyed bridges over the Wolf and
Hatcbie rivers, and passed in the direc-
lion of Randolph. They are supposed
to be . part Of Fsulkner's Kentucky
cavalry, and several new companies
raised 10 west Tennessee. Il 10 feared
that they will plant cannon near Fort
Pillow aud annoy boats on the river.
Gun boats have been below Napoleon
and report all qnet.
The Grenada appeal of the 10th
says:
"There are indications of . general
movement by Bragg, Marshall, Smith,
McCarn and Forest, which will restore
tennessee and Kentucky to the Confed.
,racy in . few weeks"

Col. John Belzer, Of Governor Yates

The Bulletin this evening has the
following from private sources:
"The Jackson Mississippian Of the
18Th has despatch from Bayou Sara,
stating that the gun-boat Sumter ran
aground opposite that place. The mill
tary authorities Of that place demanded
her surrender, when the commander
put the crew and stores on transports

A proposition had beon offered to

In charge of an ammunition train. The
train was crossed the Mississippi river

From Fort Monroe.

FORT MONROE, Aug. II.
The steamer Cambria from n. y. Is,
pu: in. She brings by the mail strong
petition from the city Of New Orleans
to the United States government
requesting Gen. Butler to be retained
in command Of that city.
IMPORTANT REBEL MsAsuRE.-In his
late message to the rebel Congress, jeff
Davis recommends that CONSUMPTION be
made universal. The idea is that all the
able bodied men in the Confederacy be
called upon to take hand in establish
ing the new Government. That this
will be done there seems to be no room
for doubt. The administration may as
we'll make up their minds to fight the
entire South-every man and a great
portion Of the niggers. The rebels are
getting desperate. The late call OF
President Lincoln for 100000 men and
the filling up Of the old regiments, puts
the rebels to their trumps. There is no
hope for them but to get out the entire
confederacy.
Wendell Phillips writes to the NY
Tribune, denying that he discourages
enistments. But he goes on to say,
1.-THE Union, which has for twenty five
years barred me from its highest privil-
eges by demanding an oath to a pro-
slavery Constitution, still shuts that door
10 my face and this administration
clings to policy which l think makes
every life now lost in Virginia, and every
dollar now spent there, utter waste. /
cannot conscientiously support such a
Union and administration"
Sach talk as this certainly does not
encourage enlistments, and il it does
not discourage enlistments it is because
those who listen are wiser aud more ma
trlot'c than Mr.. Phillips. That is all
there is to it.
We hal the pleasure Of meeting Col.
Merritt, OF Cedar Rapids, on his recent
visit to Iowa City. We understand
that after great effort, he has tailed at
last to obtain the position at the bead
OF regiment, which his numerous
fr ends were anxious he should have.

When Harry O'Connor can get an.
thor'ty to raise regiment and Col.
Merritt cant, we may begin to think
that Justice is not only wanting in
sight, but that somebody has been STUFF.

New YORK, Oct. 27.-The Express pro-
fesses to have reliable information from semi
official circles, in Europe, that England and
France have decided upon a recognition of
the southern confederacy, if the joint offers of
mediation and armistice for four or six months
to be proposed to Mr.. Seward are not accept
ed. They fear slave instruction in the
south, says the Express after the first of Jan
uary, and it is to afford their own citizens re-
siding there ample protection under their reg
ularly appointed agents, that England and
France will claim the necessity of recogniz-
ing the new confederacy.

CHICAGO, Oct 27.-The Memphis Appeal
of Oct, 25th says there is an alarming report
there that a force of thousand rebel cavalry
has stationed itself nine miles from here, on
the Memphis and Charleston road, and taken
possession of the line. 1t is supposed to be
the advance of large force having designs on
this CITY. Gen. johnson is said to be in
charge of "A large army at Little Rock.

large number wounded. Our loss was two
killed and two wounded.
From several sources we learn that there Is
activity among the rebels in the vicinity of
Helena, Vicksbnrg, and Holly Springs They
evidently contemplate an attack, but on what
point it is unknown. There are SAID to be
seventy thousand rebels at Holly Springs. An
officer from Vicksburg says that every man
under irty-fve is in the rebel army.
An arrival from Bolivar and Jackson says,
it is reported at Jackson, apparently on
good authority, that Price was at Hatchie,
with $4,000 men, marching in the direction of
Bolivar; Pillow is reported in the same neigh
borhoOd with 10000 men.

BOSTON AND VICINITY.

BOSTON AND VICINITY.
The Advertiser makes the announcement,
on authority, that the quota of Boston is filled,

resorting to drafted men. This has been ac-
complished in good part by the exertions of

men who have enlisted in other places"
In Boston, Sunday evening, Patrick Roo
ney, a tailor, about 80 years of age, was stab
bed by Dennis MCGOWAN, in quarrel, at No.

MAINE.
Miss Lizzie Fly of Denmark, is announced
as editor of the Bridgton Reporter. Two ed
itors of that paper have gone to the war, and
to avoid like catastrophe the publishers have
wisely resolved to place in the editorial chair
Que who is exempt from such service. Some
of the Maine editors think that she too would
not be wholly exempt, if Cupid should let fly
one of his darts in that direction.
