"Late advices from the South by the rebel
sources are important. Iron-clad gunboats.
built in England, and fully equipped, have ar
rived Oft Mobile harbor, and three more are on

lIoRRIBLE MURDER.-Wc learn that Miss
Vaughn, of DcSoto county, was outraged
few days since by a negro, and afterwards mur-
dcred and thrown into Coldwatcr creek. At
ter her body was found, the negro was traced
to Memphis, when he was demanded Of the
Federal authorities. Incredible as it may seem,
they refused to give him up. In reply, they
coolly said the negro came to them seeking
protection, and he should have it. This is a
crime of the most horrible character permitted
to go unpunished, and other criminals in the
same position assured they can outrage with
impunity.

MISCELLANY.
Gen. Mitchell,s Spy.

Gen. Mitchell is not only an officer, but
soldier. The same obedience which he re-
uuires of the officers beneath him, he himself
renders to his superiors. Order No. 3. which
by this time must be world wide in its noto-
riety, extended over the division of Gen.
Mitchell. Like wall of adamant, it hemmed
him on all sides, and embarrassed every move
ment. For time this order was obeyed No
negroes, in addition to these already in his
camp,were allowed to enter. But Gen. Mitch
ell had a line OF one hundred and twenty miles
to protect, and knew not at what moment the
enemy 10 force might fall upon him. He must
have spies. The white inhabitants would give
him no information. What could he do? He
sent for one of his best Brigader Generals, and
asked him il he knew any one in his camp who
possessed sufficient courage and intelligence to
act as spy and learn the position of the enc
my The General told him that he knew of
but one man; that he was negro slave by the
name of Sam Gardiner; that he could read
and write, possessed tact, shrewdness, courage,
all that was requisite to perform efficiently the
duties imposed upon him.
"But ii he serves us we must guarantee his
liberty said Gen. Mitchell.
"Yes," said the Brigadier General .he will
be worth little without that"
"He shall have his liberty, and so shall all
Others who aid me-" said Gen. Mitchell, and
in an instant conceived plan to sulmount the
frowning battement, "Order No. B." He sat
down and wrote to the Secretary of War,
"Shall | guarantee TO all negroes who will
bring me truthful information of the enemy's
movements, their liberty and my protection ?'
"Yes," responded the Secretary of War;
'.liberty, protection, or anything else they ask
for
Sam Gardner was sent for He was told
that he should be free if he accomplished what
Gen. Mitchell desired him to do. The tall
form of the negro straigtened his face gleam-
cd with an almost superhuman intelligence.
The man, who was but despised body SER
want before, seemed suddenly to have been
transformed into another being. In reply TO
the question propouDded to him, he suggested
a plan by which daily information could be OBJ
tanned of the enemys movements along the
entire line Of 120 miles. His plan was adopt
ed, and that very day put into execution
From that day until Gen. Mitchell left for
Washington, information was obtained of all
that was transpiring within the rebel camps.
The rapid and brilliant successes of Gen.
Mitchell, The frankly admts) could not have
been accomplished without the aid of the ne
gro, and that aid never could have been OBJ
tanned without first guaranteeing to him lib
erty and protection.
