Curtis and Fitch left Helena Yesterday with
10000 men. Of their destination it would be
improper to speak.
The Rebel Gen. Hindman with 40, 900 con-
scripts is within striking distance. Should he
eiude the federal forces, no apprehension is

entirely invulnerable. Bulk-heads seven feet
thick are being constructed for the protection

The shipment Of cotton from Helena, or the
purchase of it in the vicinity, has been forbid
don. 1t is given out as the purpose of the
Federals to aid the rebels in the destruction
OF this article, as the money obtained for it by
the planters is used to aid the rebellion.
All the STEAMBOATS, arriving at Memphis are
put into government service in connection
With the important movement from Helena.
The determination to destroy Helena, upon
the departure of the Federal troops, was ex-
pressed, but whether that determination was
carried out or not We are not apprized.
For stirring times and momentous occur

August, 1861, that they were spending 81, oO0-

The whole revenue Of the Yankee despotism is
only S2e,0oo,000, and the slaves of Virginia
alone are worth S4o0,00o,oOO. Some of these
commissioners accepted his terms Donot the
fools know the condition of the Yankee
