been forwarded to Bragg, with view, it is
thought, to erect batteries ON Lookout Noun

FROM EURoPE.-The Persia arrived at New

Mason's letter to Russell on withdrawing
from London is published 1t quotes his in
structions from Richmond. which state that
Davis believes that the English Government
is determined to decline overtures for friend

therefore it is no longer conducive TO the in
terests, nor consistent with the dignity of the
Confederate Government, for Mason TO con-
tinue his residence at London.
The London Inder saws it is not contempla-
ted to withdraw Slidell, his reception by the
French Government having ever been cour-
teous, while that of Mason has been the re-
verse.
The probability of the fall of Charleston is
much debated. The friends of the South

Inducements are near. Troops are constant
ly arriving from the west and elsewhere.
The rebel cavalry cannot seriously inter
fere with Gen. Rosecrans supplies.
\ great battle must soon be fought.

The Government has received full adyiccs
of affairs in the west.
The rebel raid on the railroad south Of
Murfreesboro', was not serious No mem
ton is made of the destruction of the rail
road bridge south of that place, as reported.
\ reconnaissance has just been completed
as far as the Blue Ridge. But few rebel
guerrillas were found. An important rebel
mail was captured, containing autograph

With the hopelessness of their cause fully
established the more intelligent of the rebels
will be ready and even eager to make the
best of circumstances and will return with
alacrity to their allegiance. We have an
evidence of this in the tone of the Natchez
Courier, whose editor exhibits none of that
rancor so common in the repossessed districts
Of the South. In recent leader he SAYS
- In times like the present men may differ as
to matters of policy, but there is one thing very
evident from the signs before us-that the people
of this great Mississippi Valley will find ii for
their interest and mutual welfare TO strike hands
again as Americans in a common cause. 1t will
be our aim to lay such information before our
readers from time to time as may lead to conser-
vative decisions, and once more cement Ameri-
cans in the bonds ofa United, Prosperous, and
