tie South with such Andy johnson, OF 1ennes-
see, or ice Holt, of Kentucky. We have much
higher opinion of both than the Observer would seem
to entertain Neither have we ever entertained any
feeling of hostility to Mr. Stanly as an Individual We
stated What appeared to Us to be pretty wellfounded
rumor and we stated it with regret one OF the de-
velopments of the We now regret to have to add
that it is evidently more than rumor
In regard to the last paragraph, We can only say to
the Obserp2r,-nQme him :! That much is due to the
public az! we shall be the last to endeavour either to
screen Or to paliate the oepce of any such person
As for the Respass matter, we have nothing to take
back except that we made assertion which, however
true not in tie of things susceptible proof
If we had said that there was no more just grounds
for doubt in The minds Of cry human being" &c. we
would have been nearly correct AZ the old cock

That General LovalI was blameees nearly SO at
New Orleans, We do believe ard therefore receive
the pc-s lectures Of the Observer and of divers and
dry other partzan organs with the utmost composue.
The known fact that the batteries at the battlefield
below New Orleans we're without cartridges to fit their
guns and that five thousand troops down there were
without ammunition does not Go much to reassute the
public mind or dspe The supicons which have not yet
been removed.

GUERRILLAs.-See call of DR.. A. McIntire who has
been regularly commissioned by the War Department
to raise guerrilla company. The Department is par
tcular in granting these commissions but Dr. McTntire
came so strongly attested as to his qualifications for
this particular service, that his claims were at re-
cognizcd To those of active, energetic and fearless
character and habits this is the very service of all 9TH
ers There is plenty of such material we feel certain.

We have received no telegram from Richmond this
forenoon. We have every reason to believe that
the enemy8 Guuboats have reached the distractions
eight miles below Richmond, and have so far been IN

The FATE OF RICHMOND now treplb!es in the balance,
and few days, OR, perhaps, hours, may show whether
those to whose charge its defence has been committed
have been worthy Of the confidence rep2sed in them.
The cnemys gunboats were above City Point hours
ago Who can say that by this time they may not be
up at Richmond? But for the experience of New Or
leans we mighthave some confidence shat something e.
ecual lad been done hut with that experience we can
have confidence in anything We had heard SO much
about The Mississippi being lined with BATTERIES that
thought the passage of Forts jackson and ST. Philip
by the enemys feet was bat the beginning. We were
in fact, told by gentleman ia pretty high position
who had seen Gen. Lowell some weeks before but what
was cur surprise to learn from leading and weIInormed
gentlemen who left New Ogans on the LIST instant on
official business, that there not battery on the
river between Fort St. Philip and the City, with the
exception of some light guns almost without ammuni-
ton, which were mounted neaf the river On the old
battle ground at Chamette. II Gen Lowell is not re-
spon8ibe for the false expectations entertained by the
people then somebody higher than Gen. Lowell u.s.

GENERAL JOSEPH r. ANDERSON, formerly in COM
mand at this point, is now il charge near Fredercks-
burg, Va.
1t would appear that there has been desperate efforts
made recently TO stop up he channel Of the James
River below Richmond. W. take it that tie obstruc-
tons not far below te city, that tie advance of
gunboas to above City Point does not affect their eff
cheney. The Richmond correspondent of The Charles
ton Mercuy, writing under date Of Saturday last the
10th instant says that he gunboat fever high all
day yesterday, (Fridayl Many citizens AID negroes
with several companies Of soldiers went down the river
to assist N completing tire blockade. Vessels laden
with plaster and bricks were s>z5d and sunk-in a
word, the expedeos OF desperation were rescd to- If
guuboas ever venture up here and succeed in passing
tie instructions, the engineer in chargea son of Hon
VIM c. Riyes-will be held to stern account. But the
chances are row decidedly not in favour of the gun
boats"
We trust that the chances may SO continue, but -
we will soon know more about it, 1t is certain that
the evacuation of Rchnond was not on the programme
late Monday night nor will it be without the most
desperate struggle, The people in Rchmcnd listen for
the sound Of The cannon every moment.

regularly. Perhaps So. Unfortunately there will be
msan men everywhere, and even in this section there
may be nlsn mean enough to he'd secret correspondence

So far as tlGr getting the journal is concerned they

blockade on liquor is pretty close, and that their
ingenuity would he hard run to find drink. AS for
c01o1 they csnt get that, cause Why it isn't here-
LIE town g. present, is rather dull than otherwise A
good many families have gone off for the e&son and there
are few public aausements; the Ministries that were
to come didn't come. Perhaps yellow jack may get
along by July or August if not soone but we are not
certain. So many doctors have gone into the service
that the general health of the people home is unusual
