pIrcourarement of tI,e son,h.

A French gentleman of distinction who
went to Richmond few weeks since full
of admiration for the spirit displayed by
the rebels, and strong sympathizcr with
their cause, has recently returned in a very
different state Of mind. He reports that
the feeling at Richmond is one of utter de-
preston and despair. The leaders try to
animate the courage of their followers by
false statements of southern successes, and
by boasts of what they are going to do; but
the people are not deceived, and the prev
aleut impression was, to use our informants
own words, "that secession was surrounded
by wall of fire from which it was impossi-
bic to escape" 1t is only necessary, we
think, to read the rebel journals, and notice
the desperate efforts made TO draft men in
to the military service, to be convinced
of tho truth of this representation.-M Y.

For inc Send Of war.

Five car loads of munitions of war, con-
sisting of eight Dahlgreen guns, weighing
$500 lbs each, gun carriages, shells and
ammunition to match, consigned to Flag
Officer Foote, Cairo, were dispatched from
New York on Tuesday last, in charge of
the Adams Express Company, and passed
through this city on Thursday evening
They will in all probability reach the con-
signeeiD time TO be used 10 the reduction
of Island No. 10. This looks as though
tho Government had taken leaf out Of

lively prompiiinde that the people will not

night at intervals Of every half hour--most-
" concentrated upon the upper battery,

still continue flying about, apparently car.
ryiug away troops. The river is still rising.

both on the Island and on the main land
