Another Distinguished Scoundrel.

Elk Senator SOulc, of New Orleans,
recently passed through New York in
charge of United States officers, on his
way to Fort lafayette, where he will be
held by the Government prisoner
until his case shall be disposed of. The
charges against him are: First, "tha,
he is the leader of a secret society
known as the " Southern Independence
Association" of which each member is
solemnly sworn to oppose, at the cost
of his life. if necessary, the reconstruc-
ton of the old Union, no matter what
disaster may befall the Confederate
cause, and to aid, by armed force, il
required, the Confederate government
in earring out its laws for the confsca-
ton Of the property of Union men, and in
the destruction and punishment or ex-
pulsion of people whom they may re-
gard as spies. The second charge is
that Mr.. Soule was the author of the
insolent letter sent by the late Mayor
to Commodore Farragut, and is the
principal supporter of the rebellion in
New Orleans"
The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing brief sketch of the life of the pris-
oner: "Pierre Soule, leading spirit
among the New Orleans Rebels, arriv-
ed here yesterday as prisoner of war.
Soule has history. He was born in
Franco; was sou of a Lieutenant. Gen.
eral in the Republican army destined
for the Church, and studied under the
Jesuits in the Toulouse College; get
ting weary Of theology he went to Bor-
deaux, where he got into plot against
the sacred Bourbons; secluded himself
for year as chaplin in Navarro; went
to Paris, and was admitted member
of the bar; helped Barthelemy and
Merry edit an ultra liberal journal; was
tried for an attack npon the Ministry;
defended himself boldly and skillfully,
but was fined 10000 francs and i'm
prisoned; escaped, and in 1925 came to
America; studied English; was admitted
to the New Orleans bar, and became
great as lawyer; was elected United
States Senator for a. vacancy in ls47,
and again in le49 for full term; was
an extreme Southerner always; Pierce
made him Minister to Spain, where he
had quarrel and duel with Turgot,
French Minister, whom he severely
wounded made trouble by reason of
his Cuban Annexation Fillibusterism,
and the willful concealment of a recip-
rocity treaty with reference to that
island concluded by the Secretary of
Legation during the Minister'S absence;
was one of the Ostend Conference in
1854, and probably dictated the Cuban
policy of the notorious manifesto; re-
turned to this country in 1855, and has
been an active and bitter traitor ever

FORTRESS MoNRoE, Feb. 21.-Three flags
of truce were sent out to-day. 1t is be-
lieved in Norfolk that Savannah has been
occupied by our forces. This information is
thought to be reliable, though no particu-
lars are ascertained.
Notwithstanding the admission that the
Merrimac is failure, the latest information
received is, that twenty men are at work
on her, and considerable quantities of shot
and she'll are going on board of her. The
intention of making an attempt to run the
blockade has not been abandoned, and it is
thought she might make her appearance
here within a week. Every preparation
has been made, and standing orders have
been given for her reception.
There are now four French vessels in the
Roads here.
The schooner Exertion, with ammunition,
sailed for Hatteras, yesterday.
The new gunboat Pirola, arrived and
sailed yesterday.

CAIRo, Feb. 2e.-A rebel officer states
that the exaggerations of Major Post, of the
9th Illinois, who was taken prisoner before
the surrender of Fort DOnelsOn, materially
aided in preventing any further resistance
on their part.
The body OF Lieut.. Col. White, of the
3lst Illinois, has just arrived.
Three thousand rebel prisoners, at Fort
Donelson, have asked to be allowed their
arms, and to be enrolled in the army of the
Union.
A special order was issued to-day, for
bidding the issue of passes to Fort Donel-
son and other points on the Ohio above
Cairo.
The report is current, and uncontradicted,
that GAINESVILLE is evacuated.
1t ia further reported that Gov. Harris
has convened the Legislature of the State of
Tennessee to repeal all laws passed by the
Confederate Legislature inconsistent with
the Federal Constitution.
White flags are flying in Nashville, and
General Grant has been invited to occupy
GAINESVILLE and Nashville. If this is true,
Tennessee can be counted out of the South
ern Confederacy.

word in the rebel Capita. from all whom he
met, was to fight to the last, and thinks that

spirit.
Lord Lyons won't be at the Capitol to-
morrow, being still in mourning.
Diplomatists are embarrassed since for
hidden to attend the national .fete, the pre-
sentation of rebel flags, tomorrow, being
part of the ceremony.

that Stanton, in a railroad speech, gave the

ST.. Louis, Feb. 22.-The celebration to-
day was the most extensive, magnificent,
and imposing ever seen in the West. Bust
ness was entirely suspended. and the par
ticipation in the occasion was almost Hni-
versal, and attended with a spirit and en-
thusiasm rarely seen. Flags, banners, and
emblems of loyalty abounded every where.
The business houses and residences along
the line of the procession were profusely
and tastefully decorated, and all seemed to
strive with each other to make the finest
display. The procession was composed of
about 5000 of artillery aud cavalry, and
citizens ip carriages and on horseback. The
bakers, draymen, and butchers made a
splendid appearance. In fhe procession
were printing presses from the Republican
and Democrat Offices, which distributed
copies of Washingtoa's Farewell Address
along the route. The procession was fully
eight miles long, and occupied nearly two
hours in passing the Planters House More
than $4,000 persons must have participated
in the procession, or thronged the streets
along its route.

Mr.. Crittenden said that the joint resolu.
ton relative to the celebration did not con.
template the presentation of a flag. He
therefore moved that this be omitted as
part of the ceremonies
Mr.. LoVejoy supposed, from the general
tenor of Mr.. Crittenden's remarks that be
would not oppose what the military de-
sired, and this flag presentation was af-
ranged, by the Secretary of War,
Mr.. Dawes inquired how the flag could be
presented when Congress will not take
them. He did not propose to magnify the
rebel flags in this way, and hoped that they
would respectfully decline to receive them.
Mr.. Campbell said they were trophies
won by our troops and brave soldiers in
holly contested battles. He would not
magnify the flags, but would magnify the
deeds of our armies. He trusted these
badges or flags would be received with re-
spect.
Mr.. Roscoe Conkling remarked these flags
were not trophies to be treated with either
respect or consideration by the Government.
Suppose there had occurred here riot of
formidable dimensions, and the municipal
authorities had succeeded in quelling it, and
at a meeting of the Common Council it
should be proposed that rnblic assembly
should be called to receive - flags or tro-
phies taken from the consl3I ators, does any
one suppose they would / received with
or public dtaancy? If not,
why should Congress accept the presentation
of these flags They were nothing more
than tokens coming simply from the rebels,
and of no national standing. He would
go as far as any other gentleman in this
House, or out of it, in his respect and ad-
miration Of those who have left their homes
to sustain in distant battle fields the exis-
tence of this Government, but he wished on
this occasion to act in a manner consistent
with self-respect and official propriety.s
