A correspondent of the Boston Journal,
with the Both Massachusetts, regiment, under
date of Baton Rouge, June 6, says:
On Friday, 9th uIt., our regiment, {the
Both Massachusetts, received orders at two
o'clock to prepare two days rations and
report en- board the steamer Mississippi.
At twelve o'clock at night the steamer
started for this place, and after run of
twenty-one hours arrived here. We expec.
ted to land Immediately. A boat was sent
ashore for orders, and returned with them to
remain on board till morning. Before eight
O'Clock A. NJ. we had landed, and at ten
o'clock took possession of these quarters,
which are very fine. We were accompan-
led by the 2lst Indiana. We expected to
have fight Oh our arrival, as it was re.
ported that General Williams was threat
ened by large force. If the Both had
gone into an engagement they would have
won name worthy of their gallant Colo.
mel, who is beloved by officers and men.
Our companies occupy the Senate cham
Der and the hall of the Representatives. Our
officers use the Secretary of State, Treasury,
and other official rooms. The Colonel uses
the Governors suite of rooms for his head
quarters. Company A occupies the Secre-
tary of States room, which is about 25 by
IS feet, airy, and furnished in beautiful
style, as are all the rooms in the building.
In our quarters We found several commits.
sions signed by Governor Moore, which
have taken the liberty of filling out and
commissioning several members of the
battalion, knowing that there were several
if not more who would like commissions.
Minis famous battery is here, and would
astonish the natives if there were any here,
but they are few and far between; any
quantity of houses vacant, deserted; some
have moved the furniture away, but most
have left without doing so.

MIR. James Gallatin, in a long letter to
the Chairman of the Finance Committee,
reasons against doubling the issue of Treas
rug paper in less than four months from the
original issue. Mr.. Gallatin depIores all
such paper mutations, as perilous to curren.
cy, and to property, and to society. The
Rebel Davis paper, under such imitation, be
says, has gone down to fifty cents on the
dollar, as did Rosas' in Buenos Ayres,
which went on until sixteen in paper was
worth only one in gold. Indeed, Mr.. Gal.
latin reasons, that in lieu of going into pa.
per imitation, we should resume specie pay
ments, which, he says, we are well able to
do, with a little arrangement and regula-
ton.

Our Iron.Clad Navy.

The Navy Department has contracted
with the ship builders and iron manufacture
ers of the country for the construction OF a
number of iron.clad vessels, to be completed
by autumn. Some of them will be of a
more formidable character than any now
afoat in the world. We shall be by au'
tumn the most powerful nation on the globe
in the matter of an iron. clad navy. The
following is statement in brief of the iron
clad vessels now building:
Three hulls and six turrets, by T. F. Row.

The Trouble Between Blenker and Ere.
mont.

The correspondent of the Tribune, in a
letter from Winchester, gives the following
account of the difficulty between Fremont
and Blenker
General Blenker, with his staff, arrived
here today, en- route for Washington, the
General, l am informed, having been reliev>
ed of his command, which is completely
demoralized. Under the able management
and controlling influence of General Carl
Schurz, the mea may be brought back to a
sense of propriety and decency. Blenker is
medium sized, restless, overbearing sort
of man, extremely rude and boisterous.
Himself and staff stopped here night, and
every time they moved about the hotel the
clank, clank, clank of their swords on the
floor or over the stairways disturbed the
rest of the guests.
The brief space allotted me would not al~
low anything like recital of the barbara
ties and butcheries of Blenkers men, and
even should recount half dozen or so,
they would scarcely be credited. While on
marches everybody and everything suffered;
tongues were cut out of cattle, and the poor
animals left to suffer, and perhaps die as
many as fifteen sheep and lambs were some-
times stolen in day, and slaughtered ar
ticles of no value whatever to the soldiers
we're carried off and destroyed, &c. From
the highest officer in the command to the
lowest the decentralization was complete.
Matters finally arrived at such pass that
officers in the division rendered their resg-
nations in order to escape the odium which
the conduct of Blenker's men threw up
on them. General Fremont eventually
ordered an Investigation, and it is
said, but with what truth do not know,
that during tho examination of some men
Blerker became very insolent, upon which
Fremont took off his (Blenker's) shoulder
straps and broke in two his sword. After
his arduous whisky campaign Gen. Blenker
will probably be allowed long rest.

The Richmond papers have taken to

it the battle of the Seven Pines, and they
the battle of the Chickahominy. The Wing

The Richmond Examiner on the Rein
forcement of Mcclellan, &c.

From the Examiner OF the 18th.
In the mean time the question whether
the United States can now raise the two
hundred and fifty thousand new troops is
grave one to US. Already its army is reck.
Oned at seven hundred and fifty thousand.
The addition would make round million.
The United States can not produce that ar
my. There are limits to everything, and
a population of eighteen millions cannot
raise and maintain a million of soldiers.
But that it will, by desperate effort,
bring up large reinforcements cannot be
doubted. The present federal army of sew.
en- hundred thousand exists on the rolls, and
in TACT, but is not in the field. 1t has dwin-
died as all volunteer armies are prone to do,
by jnnumerable furloughs and dismembere
ments, and has now to be re-assembled.
There is reason to believe that at the pres
ent moment the United States cannot con.
centrate larger force than the Confedera-
cy on any given point, unless it is done by
the superior energy OF its government and
more rigorous endorsements of orders by its
generals.
McClellan's army is stated to be one
hundred and twenty-five thousand effective
troops but 1t is very doubtful whether he
has them on the ChickahomiDy; indeed, it is
certain that he has them not, unless he has
been reinforced since the late battles. x 4 \
We must, therefore, be prepared to see the
present army Of Mcclellan enormously re-
inforced unless annihiated by battle be-.
fore the loose regiments and scattered SOL
diers of the Northern States can be gather
ed together. The victories of jackson so
far, although producing prodigious i'm
preston on the popular sentiment of the
North, do not seem to have disturbed the
intentions of the Government. The Yankee
politicians reason that four armies are equal
to the control of one, however spirited and
brilliant its movements may be. In this,
perhaps, Yankee conceit runs ahead OF
Yankee sense.

Letter and Present from the Prince of
Wales.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-04-26

EASTERN NEws.-The Union Of yesterday
contained telegrapbic dispatches from the
seat of war, to April 23d, but the intelIi-
gence is not important. The bOmbardment
Of Fort Wright has been temporarily sus-
pended, and POpe's army, with the excep-
tion of Q small force, has been sent up the
Tennessee river to reinforce Gen. Halleck.
A desperate battle is pending in the vicini-
of Corintb. Beauregard, It is thought, will
be able TO bring 100000 men into action,
and according to one report, Halleck has
about lOO, 900, who are represented to be
ia an efficient condition. We have nothing
later from Yorktown. The Federal flotilla
had ascended the RappahannOck as far as
Fredericksburg, and twelve or thirteen ves-
sells we're seized and brought down. Nc.
Dowell's division is still at Falmouth, op.
posite Fredericksburg, engaged in rebuilt
ding the bridges destroyed by the rebels.
Banks division has advanced up the She
nandoah, as far as Harrisonburg. and jack
sons forces have retreated in the direction
OF Gordonsville. The main body of the
rebel army is understood to be at York
town; and II is not improbable that Nc
Clellan is holding them there until Mellow.
ell can concentrate a sufficient force to

Press received some additional dispatches
yesterday, but the news was not considered
of sufficient Importance to telegraph to

Non EOR THIS LATITUDE.-The order Of
Gen. Wright, directing military officers 10
arrest persons charged with aiding aud
sbeting the rebellion, was evidently not in-
tended for this section OF California; not
but that we have those among us who
would gladly do 30, but there are few Of this
class who have any means to aid the reb-
els, and those that have are too sharp to be
caught betting on the bogus COnfederacy
At this stage of the rebellion.
The Nevada Democrat., 1862-04-26

MILITARY ORDER.-Gen. Wright has issu-
ed general order, directing military COM
manders on this coast, to arrest and hold in
custody all persons against whom the
charge of aiding and abetting the rebellion
can be sustained; and on no account are
such persons to be released except on con-
dtiOn of subscribing to an oath TO support
the Government of the United States. All
persons who furnish supplies for the army
on this coast, must furnish the most une-
quivOcal evidence of their loyalty.

FROM EUROPE.-We have intelligence
from Europe to the 18th inst. Rumors
were aHoat that the relations between Eng
land, France and Spain, in respect to Mexi'
CO, we're unsatisfactory. 1t is reported that
France wished to march her army to the
city OF Mexico, to which England would
not consent. The Augsburg Gazette as
serts, on reliable authority, that England
succeeded in bringing Spain 70 her side on
the Mexican question, by promising not to
interfere should Spain take possession of
Hayti. The difficulties on the Mexican
question excited considerable attention,
and It was rumored ct Paris that Wa
lewski would make special mission to
England on the subject The question of
fortihcations had been debated 10 the House
of Lords, and Ministers deprecated basty
action. In debate in the House of Com.
mons, on Italian affairs, Lord Palmerston
stated bis belief that United Italy would
sooner or later be completed, by the pos
session of Rome.

TIE NEGROES AT PORT RoYAL.-A cor
respondent writing from Port Royal to a
New York paper, thus treats the negro
education plan:
am engaged just now in scouting about the
woods and swamps, and in the negro houses,
for concealed arms and ammunition. Yesterday
we took negro spy, whom am now examin-
ing. He spoke of the tide being about two
hours high, and when questioned him to know
what idea he had of time, he said "YOu know,
massa, that short days hours are shorter than
long days hours, so it takes longer to walk to
Beaufort in long day than it do in short day,
cause the sun go round quicker" And this
negro is looked upon as comparatively bright
To suppose that the Southerners have any fear
of these blacks, is to suppose them the most ar
rant towards in the world. When they are
driven away from their novels, they return
again, like domestic dog or cat, and starve at
their own doors, unless some one else will feed
them or tell them what to do. A few genuine
shrieking dOminies came here few days ago
on mission to the blacks, but after amusing
themselves with them awhile, gave themselves
up to the flesh pots of our officers mess, and
confessed that they had entirely misconceived
the character and condition of the plantation
negro. Christy has never come quite up to
some Of their heathenish, monotonous dances
and antics. Some of our officers who came here
rank AbolitionistU, have got thoroughly con-
verted.
1t is well enough to add, that there is as
much difference among negroes-as there is
among the different varieties-OfG Gaucassians.
Some of the blacks are qnite intelligent.
while others are as ignorant and stupid. as
those referred to above.

INDIAN MURDER.- Daniel Dunbar was
found murdered on Wednesday, in cabin
en Mud creek, about Eve miles from Chico
in Butte county. He was shot in the breast
aud stabbed four times in the eide. There
is little doubt that the deed was committed
By mountain Indians. The house was rob
bed Of every thing, eves to the clothes Of
the deceased, which must have been strip
ped from him after he was dead. He had
been seen al the house on Tuesday aud was
doubtless murdered that night.

THE OVERLAND RoUTE.-A dispatch was
received from Salt Lake on the 24th, stat
ing that the Indians east Of there are more
quiet. Troops are being sent out on the
mail route from Fort Laramie and it is
thought the running Of the mails will be
resumed 10 o. few days. Mr.. Eaton, the
general superintendent of the rOnte had
started for the place Of trouble. The tele-
graph line Is said TO be 10 no danger from
the Indians, but the line was down east OF

ABOUT THE Circuit JUDoEsHIP.-Tbe Alta
of Thursday, qualities its statement that
Chief Justice Field had been offered the
Circuit Judgeship, by saying:
The resignation Of Cutler McAllster, as
Clerk Of that Court, was reported at Washing
ton as the resignation of McAllister, and the
presumption there was that Judge McAllister
had resigned. Thereupon, a gentleman high
in Office there but not connected with the Ad-
ministration, sent a dispatch to friend OF
Judge Field, inquiring whether the latter would
accept the position. The reply was, that he
would accept, If the law were amended so that
the Circuit Judge of this State could sit on the
Supreme Bench, as do all the Circuit Judges
east Of the Mississippi. Judge McAllister holds
Office during good behavior; and illness, or even
incaPacity from old age, win not justify re-

FINDING FAULT WITH JEFF.- The late re.
verses TO rebels, instead of being attributed
to the weakness Of their cause, are regard
ed in the South as having been OccasiOned
by the incompelency of rebel leaders. A
Richmond paper lately stated that the Con-
federate authorities appeared to be com
pletely paralzed, aud hinted that they
would have TO make way for leaders oI
more energy and talent. A Richmond cor.
respondent Of the Charleston Mercury, thus
writes, in late communication:
We have President who suggests not sin
gle measure for the relief of his country at this
trying juncture. His replies to late resolutions
calling for the publication of Jenifer's and 9TH
er reports would seem to indicate that he re-
CARDS any question put to him by Congress, as
presumptuous interference with matters that
do not concern them. feel with inexpressi-
BILE grief that the cause is in imminent danger,
in consequence of the unhappy perVersity of
one man, and it is my duty-for even a news
paper correspondent has duties oftentimes
most solemn-to acquaint the country With the
truth. In talking the matter over with one OF
our ablest congressman, he expressed the opin-
ion that unless Mr.. Davis by a change in the
cabinet, and other measures, indicates dispo-
sition to meet the crisis, nothing would be left
us but to close with him at once. told him
that change of the cabinet and Of the gener-
ais would do little good, so long as the Pres
idents character underwent no change. He
must cease directing his cabinet and the armies,
otherwise matters would go on precisely as be-
fore. He sighed, but added that Mr.. Davis
was much subdued by our late reverses, and
far less imperious in his manner than he has
been up to this time. This was two days ago,
and as yet, there is no indication Of change
Of any sort.

JoHNsoN's ADDRESS TO THE TENNESSEE
ANs.-Andrew johnson, Military Governor
OF Tennessee, has issued an address to the
people Of that State, 10 which be alludes TO
their former prosperity and progress while
in The Union. the terrible reverses caused
by the rebellion, aud declares it to be the
purpose OF the Government to carry on the
war, not for The purpose Of subverting the
institutions of the States, but for the main
tenance of the Union in its integrity. Af'
ter stating that the most, If not ell, the
State Offices have become vacant, either BY
actual abandonment. or by the action of
the incumbents in attempting to subvert
the Government. he says:
shall, therefore, as early as practicable, des-
ignate for various positions under the State
and county governments, from among my fell
low citizens, persons Of probity and intelligence
and bearing true allegiance to the Constitution
and the Government of the United States, who

pie themselves the protection of the Govern
ment is extended. All their rights will be duly
respected, and their wrongs redressed when
made known. Those who, through the dark
and weary night OF the rebellion, have main
tanned their allegiance to the Federal Govern
ment will be honOred. The erring and misgui-
ded will be welcomed on their return. And
while it may become necessary, in indicating
the violated majesty of the law, and in reasser-
ting its imperial sway, to punish intelligent
and conscious treason in high places, no mere
ly retaliatory or vindictive policy will be adop-
ted. To those, especially, who in a private,
unofficial capacity have assumed an attitude of
hostility to the Government, full and COM
plete amnesty for all past acts and declarations
is offered, upon the one condition of their again
yielding themselves peaceful citizens to the just
supremacy Of the laws. This advise them to
do for their own good, and for the peace and
welfare of our beloved State, endeared to me
by the associations of long and active years,
and by the enjoyment Of her highest honors.
