times Z g twelve Apostles, surrounded by the
most .orious associations that ever hallowed
this nth, were unfortunate enough to have
one nfernal traitor in their midst. There is
full half dozen voters of US; nd we have
one traitor. Nothing astonishing A that. 1t

the same now that it was eighteen hundred
and sixty-two years ago. / can write j. BIS
history very briefly: When quite young he
left the home and counsels of good Christian
father, and threw himself under the fostering
care and teachings of Sam. Medary--to whose
coat tails he has chung ever since, through
evil and good report. The result is, he takes
to treason as naturally as young pup takes to
new milk. He is dwarf physically, intellec-
| tually-weighs about a hundred-possesses a
thimble full of brains, stuck between eyes an
sth-of-an-inch apart-and has now dishonored
the grave of his father before the cold clay
that fills it is sodded over. Enough for me
that don't do as my elder brother does; ami
nobody can make me feel bad by saying,

RIVER AND STEAMBOAT NEWS.

MEMPHIS July 81, 1862
There was pheasant breeze from the n.

and refreshing rain.
The river is falling, falling, falling, with no
prospect for change.
Business remains duh and cherries enough.
All of the up country boats take out fair lists
of passengers, but very little freight. Bless
old Uncle Sam, for if it was not for his bounti-
ful supply of good things we would never ex-
pect to see boat in this region, for really, if
it was not for the heavy cargoes of freight
brought down from the busy bee hives of the
North, steamboatmen would not make money
enough in six months to pay for stage plank,
provided they were to use the profits accruing
from Memphis freights. This state Of things
did not exist eighteen months ago. We trust
it win exist no longer.
The Mississippi is rising at St. Louis at the
rate of three inches per day.
The Upper Mississippi is falling all the

A SCARED MANA boatman from down
the river, stated yesterday that when Gen.
Curtis army heard of the action of Congress
authorizing the use Of the negroes, in what
ever way the interests of the army and the
country might require five hundred men laid
down their arms, pulled off their stripes, straps,
etc. Like many big story wesuppose it viii
turn out like sour old cat and another one"
1t is the duty of the soldier to obey the orders
of his superior officers and not to legislate for
the country and certainly not to resist the
laws. ANY serious division in the National
army upon this or kindred questions, may be
feared on one part and hoped for on the other,
but We have no apprehension that it viii take
place. They have a SINCE object to accom-
plish, which is to crush out the rebellion, and
that they intend to effect before they lay down
their arms and return home.

Rsp0rtea SCORED Treaty wien Frane..

From tn Washiu tn rrespondsnce of the New York
Herald, July 26
The opinion is quite general here that Sc
cret understanding exists between the Govern
ment of the United States and the Emperor of
France, respecting the position of the European
powers toward this country. The report is.
that early in the history of the Administration
various measures were proposed and discussed
to prevent the interference of France in our
affairs, when, finally, it was proposed through
ID. Mercier that if the United States would
keep quiet with regard to certain designs
France had concerning Mexico, the French
Government would promise not to interfere in
the war between the North and the South.
This proposition at first took the Cabinet by
surprise; but on being discussed it was found
that majority of the Cabinet favored it. Mr.
Lincoln, Nh. Seward and Judge Bates be-
longed to the old Wing party, which always
objected to the acquisition of more territory,
and which feared especially an addition of
States toward the South They believed it led
to deterioration of the Northern races to oc-
cupy tropical countries. Hence they were
prepared to give up forever, so far as the
United States was concerned, all nope of ac-
curing Mexico.
At that time, when every thing was in con-
fusion, and when many believed that the
South might succeed in establishing her indie
penaence, II was thought to be good policy also
10 insure the occupation of Mexico by France,
so as to give the South one reason less for de-
string independence, as the object of the lead
ers of the rebellion was not 10 confne them
selves to the Southern States of America, but,
In time, to absorb Mexico and all the islands
| of the Gulf. The negotiations were not con-
cluded until Archbishop Hughes reached
Paris, and it is alleged that through him this
secret understanding was finally arrived al.
France promised not to interfere nor to permit
England to interfere in the quarrel in this
country, and the United States promised not
to object, except in most diplomatic form, and
| for the purpose Of concealing the agreement,
to the French occupation of Mexico. Hence,
amid all the rumors Of foreign intervention,
Mr.. Seward and Mr.. Lincoln have expressed
| an abiding faith in the peaceful intentions of
both France and England. Indeed, no other
theory will account for the occupation of Mex
leo, and for the self control of these two ma
tions with such enormous temptations to inter
fere as this contest has presented.

The following General Order is issued, to be

/ have the most unbounded respect for the
civil law courts and authorities, and shall do
all in my power to restore them to their proper
use, viz: the protection of life, liberty and
property. Unfortunately, at this time civil
war prevails in the land, and necessarily the
military, for the time being, must be superior
to the civil authority, bat does not therefore
destroy It. Civil courts and executive officers
should still exist and perform duties, without
which civil and municipal bodies would soon
pass into disrespect, an end to be avoided ]
am glad to find in Memphis yourself and mu-
nicipal authorities not only in existence bat in
the exercise Of your important functions, and

On board steamer Wilson, Island No. 10,
sApTiL 4th.--Y esterday the bombardment
was moro active upon our part than for
several days previously. at 10 o'clock the
Benton crossed over to the Missouri shore,
near the point, and commenced firing with
her new Dahlgrens at the floating battery.
Three shots struck, and it was hauled of
to the foot of the island, apparently disa-
bled.
In the afternoon, reconnaissance was
made by small party in skiff, after burn
ing the steamer Winchester, which was
sunk in the chute. They circumnavigated
the entire Island, and report they did not
see a man on it. Tents were still standing,
and while the party were in the vicinity,
several of our shells struck in the encamp-
ment, but not a person could be SEEM
Nothing was seen of the floating battery.
Whatever may be the condition of the ISL
and, it is evident the rebels still remain in
force upon the main shore.
To-day large force of men was observ-
ed at work in the upper battery, trying to
unspike the guns which Col. Roberts SO eff
fectually spiked on Wednesday night. The
Benton opened on them with her Dahlgren
rifles, and with the aid of the mortars
Soon drove them out.
