The Naval Engagement at Memphis.

This morning, at about hali-pa four clock,
as your correspondent WAS performing those ali
lutions which are said to be so necessary to the
health of the sailor in these waters, he was in
terrupted by the boat messenger, who report
ed To Capt Bryant that the enemy 4 vessels were
steamng up the river. The captain gave tne
necessary order to prepare for action, and 70
watch and follow the motions OF the flagship.
Everything was progressing steadily and quietly
when, at quarter past five. the report OF u gun
was heard. The Cairo at this time Was some
distance below the other ships, and of course
the nearest to the enemy The captain and my
sell were IN the pilot house. when the officer Of
the deck reported that the advance rebel steamer
had thrown a she'll at US.
&" Reply TO that shot, Mr.. Burns, said Calt.
b.. " and keep firing as long as there is any
thing left of them"
Thus the battle was fairly opened and
warm mornings work seemed imminent. Shots
were exchanged with commendable CELEBRITY for
quarter of an hour, tie United States boats
advancing all tho while and the enemy changing
position continually, and otherwise endeavorlng
to avoid the deadly aim OF our guna, when three
of The much deciled rams--thG Queen Of the
West, the Lancaster and the Monarch-ran
down directly into the midst of the rebel fleet
and of all exhibitions ct lntrepldity that have
witnessed during nv six months connection
with the Western army and navy, this bore off
the palm. The Queen and Monarch made II
dash first ut The reDcl steamer General Beaure'
gard, a vessel combining the qualities Of gun
boat and ram, and having struck her almost
simultaneously withdrew, with no damage to
themselves. and iouked about thum Tor othcr foo

The North Carolina Schoo! Trouble

Mr. Collyer, who is the gentlenan formerly
in charge OF the schools in North Carolina 81
summarily closed by order Of Military Governor
Stanly, spoke at the Cooper Institute, Ia y. y,
On Tuesday evening, and thus alluG's TO an
Interview he had with President Lincoln
= The President said that tie idea OF closin. z
lhe schools and sending back fugitive slaves and
searching yeseels going North never had ema-
mated from his administration Such an order
never had been given by him. nor would it
BE tolerated by him or his administration. He
said more than that. He said no fugitive slave
who came within the lines OF the United States
army should ever be returned to his MASTER
made some remarks, in the course of which he
said that while the President gave no instructions
IN reference to the closing of the schools, while
he does not choose personally TO interfere in
opening those schools himself. he gives the SOL
emu declaration that those schools shall not be
closed by government authority or military pow
.r, and there is no other living power there ,ha
can do it. Dr. Tying also stated that Mr.. Coll
yer vas about to go back and reopen the
schools

the process of putting down this rebellion, is
going to enforce by its own officers the barbar-
ouS slave codes Of the insurgent states az u mea-

Let Treason be Punished.

We print elsewhere extract, from the London
Tines, and also from Southern paper ,compau-
iuc Of the severity Of the measures adoyted by
Gen. Butler in restoring New Orleans . the
Union. These ,trictures similar IN character,
proceed 10 both cases from mistaken notion Of
citizens Of the Go, ernu,ent and the officers OF
that Governments and these mistaken notions
are not wholly confined to foreign critics or Sc
cesslon journals, but many really loyal papers,
nlsled by a captivating ard amiable humanity,
have given currency to kindred ideas, although
not applying them to particular cases. but eK-
pressing them III general terms,
This Government is now engaged in suppress
ing a great rebellion. Those who are resisting
its authority are CRIMINALS, liable 10 be dealt
with as such Policy, or expediency, may limit
the extent to which it is advisable for tie Gov
yrnment to 90 in treating The traitors as crimi-
mails. but these are the only limits, unless we
also limit tbs ability of the Nation to punish
treason dc it deserves. 1t is through shis dis
cipline Of punishment first by war, afterwArd
BY law, that the Nation Is to be restored, not
precisely to the state in which i, was before the
rebellion, but purified we hope, from the pes
tlent brood Of traitors who have for 40 many
years been sowing the seeds of the present re
bellion, Are we TO be taught that this can be
accomplished by kindness and Cancellation
wholly, or chiefly, and the ministers Of the pow
.r of the Government are only to restore. and
not TO punish that they are to bear the olive
branch, and not the sword This teaching
may bring us to a patched-up peace for the
time, hollow truce Of year or presidential
term, but i, can bring us no permanent quiet
or assurance of the stability of the Government
These charges against Gen. Butler all amount
simply to this He insists that the U. 5. Gov

shall he respected. He will not suffer the Elm
slerns OF an infamous rebellion any more to b.
