Our latest intelligence from Paris is that the
town was not occupied by the Federals. After
passing through the village on Wednesday and
engaging in the slIirmish with Major KNG's
command, who were encamped in the vicinity,
they retTeated back to the mouth Of the Sandy.
The Confederate piekets, it is asserted were in
Paris on Thursday.
The Federal force engaged in the fight was
estimated at five hundred cavalry, and one piece
Of artillery. Major KINGS force after the re-
treat Of two companies was one hundred and
fifty. Two Of the latter were killed, and eight
wounded. The Federal loss supposed to be
about thirty, killed and wounded.
The companies that retreatod were com

Capt. McCUTcHEN, Of Col BREWERS battal-

FROM w AS HI N GTON
RUMOR THAT HALLECK is TO BE
SECRETARY OF WAR.
GENERAL EXCHANGE OF PRISONERS.

Especial to Times. 1t was rumored to-
day that Genenal Halleck was with the
President at Fortress Monroe. 1t does not
seem to be reliable, but the report gains
belief that Halleck is to be the new Secre-
tasy, for which position many regard him
as the fttest man in the nation.
The friends of Union prisoners through
out the United States will be glad to hear
that the War Department has today deter
mined on a general exchange of prisoners.
This movement is traceable directly to
the Times editorial of yesterday.

Duty on Domestic Sugar.

WASHINGTON, July S.--The following
letter was addressed to the Chairman of
the Committee on Ways and Means:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, June 20.
SIR am reliably informed that the
sugar crop of Louisiana last year was l5O~
900 hhds.. of HOO pounds each. This is
said to be $4,000 hhds. more than the crop
of any previous year.
OF this crop there were in New Orleans,
when taken by our troops, say $4,000 hhds,
chiefly held by foreigners, and there yet res
main on plantations say 100000 hhds.,
equivalent to 10000 tons. 1t is thought
by gentlemen conversant with the trade,
that this quantity will nearly, if not quite,
supply the wants of the country until the
new crop will be ready for market next
tall. Shipments to Northern ports have
already began. These facts suggest expo.
diency of such internal duties on domestic
sugar as necessary to secure the revenue
expected from import duties on foreign.
The importance of this subject, and the
necessity Of proper legislation, if not al-
ready embraced in the tax bill, will doubt.
less engage the attention of the Committee
on Ways and Means.
Yours, &C., s. P. CHASE,
Secretary of Treasury.

Condition of the South.

Weextract the following from letter of
q correspondent of the n. Y. World, who
recently wen. with the ram feet to Vicks-
burg:
In conclusion can only add that the in
sight into the heart of the south is sufficient
to satisfy the most ardent secessionist of the
hopelessness of the cause of rebellion. The
river banks are crowded with people anx-
ious to be taken off. This state OF affairs
is best described as reign of terror and
a reign OF misery. The government is burn
ing the cotton against the wishes of the
owners, and each man stands in fear of biz
neighbor. Union people are not mary, TO-
no man may dare say so; but OF people
who are earnestly praying for an end to th '
war which is parchipg them with the grip
ing papgs Of hunger and want, there ar,
numbers. Fifty boats could be loaded wit
contrabands who are anxious to escape
their masters being 10 the army. Cotton is
being concealed, and in order to discover it
the slaves are frequently tied up and lashed
until they disclose its whereabouts, by the
soldiers. Trade is thing of the past. Mad
ness, utter madness, rules the hour. The
summer heat is already playing havoc with
the Southern troops, and by the time we
have succeeded in planting the flag over
every highway in the South We shall have a
nation OF paupers to feed after we have ex.
pended millions to show them that they are
not Only the weaker halt of the Union,
but also that they are unable to exist
without the protecting hand of the North.

General Mitchell Eastward BOund-.
His Opinions on the War.

From the Steubenville Herald July S.
Ga getting into the Eastern bound train,
yesterday evening, at Cadiz Junction, we
were informed that General Mitchell was on
board. In conversation we understood he
was en- route for Washington City, in com-
pliance with an order from the War De-
partment to report himself at the War
Office Immediately. For what object be
did not know and it would not probably,
if he did, be prudent for him to state
The General is a medium-sized, rather
slender man, dark complexion, heavy eye
brows, bushy hair, marked features, and
rather delicately built, but can, doubtless,
endure more than many others who present
more powerful physical organization. AL.
though be has had but few nights of un-
interrupted slumber during the past three
months OF an active campaign, be is in good
health and spirits.
We do not feel at liberty to report many
opinions expressed, yet we will state for the
satisfaction of our readers, that while be is
hopeful, and thinks the loyal people of the
North are too easily cast down by slight
reverses, be does not think the generaship
OF the war Though General himselD free
from criticism, or that it is at all equal to
the bravery and efficiency of the rank and
file. II we have among US an Alexander, a
Caesar, Napoleon, or Washington, the
fact has yet to be developed; and when it
is developed, let him who proves worthy OF
the aurels wear them but not before.
He reports nothing special from his di.
vision. The men are generally in good
health. Is of opinion the Corinth army has
had abundant time to reinforce the Rich
mond army; does not think the largest pro.
portion of the Corinth army is at Richmond,
however, though the best fighting materials
may be there. A short distance below the
city, on looking at bis watch, he remarked,
"forty eight hours from Huntsville, Alaba-
ma, and | could have had my army with me
if ordered to do so;" which will give the
reader an idea of the facilities at the com.
mand of the Government for the speedy
transportation of troops from one extremity
of the country to the other.

From General Curtis Army.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Times
ST. LOUIS, July 8.-General Curtis is
now encamped at Des Arc, on White Ri.
yer, awaiting supplies of provisions and for
age. Gentlemen lately arrived cay that the
condition of the commissariat has been
somewhat exaggerated, food for the men not
being SO scarce as has been represented,
though there is by no means an abundance
of provisions, while much difficulty is met
in obtaining provender for horses, supplies
OF forage having given out.
A train is to leave Immediately under
sufficient escort, to communicate with Gen.
Curtis and carry relief to his army.
His troops are represented to be in good
spirits though they cannot move against the
enemy on account of the want above noted.
1t is thought that, as soon as his trains
arrive, General Curtis will move down the
river, perhaps as far as st. Charles, or to q
point where be can be reached by boats.
No demonstrations of any importance or
significance have been made recently by the
Confede rates, who have small force at
at Searcy and larger one at Little Rock.
