4 rumor prevails here that Causes some
sensat1ou relative to recent cvents in Louisl-
ana. Recently the rebel grapevine telegraph
has been creating chuckling among the sym
pathlzers by a rumored defeat Of franklin in
the Atchafa1aya district. We have now the
report, said to be confirmed at headquarters,
that severe battle has actually been fought
at Brashear City, La. According to the dis
patch, Gen. Franklin's column attacked the
rebel position, and was, at the outset, 1epuls-
ed; and that the 18th army corps {Ord's) then
came up, and, after hard fight, defeated the
rebels with great havoc. No details are glyen
Of the Losses on either side, but the Union
victory is claimed as complete. The rebels
fed, leaving their dead and wounded on the
field.
It is certain that some OF the d.ta for such
news are unmistakably true. The latest pre-
vioua intelligence represents the" Union
force Of the two corps aboye named as in the
vicinity Of Brashear, and ready to attack the
rebels under Taylor and Moulton.

CHANGE OF NATURALIZATION LAWS

discharged, may be admitted to become
citizen of the United States upon his petit

his intention to become a citizen, and that
he shall not be required to prove more
than one years residence, within the Unit

LIVELY CORRESPONDENCE - a cores
pondence between one e. F. Parker, who
signs himself a Colonel Of the Confederate
States Army, and Gen. Blunt, command
ing the District of Kansas, has just been
published. Col. Parker dates from Head
quarters Confederate forces, Jackson coun-
ty, Missouri" He tells Gen. Blunt that
he has been ordered to that section to resist
all invaders having supjugation for their
object, and then goes on to lecture him in
the following amusing style:
'sYour officers, with or without your or
ders; have arrested and banished our ladies
for vindicating the sacredness OF their sex
against the ISLANDERS and insults Oft base
and unmtigated scoundrels calling them
selves United States soldiers. Yes, some
have been thus dealt with for refus
ing to cook, and giving expression to the
detestation and adherence 50 justly en-
gendered and borne toward these hlrellng
Vandals.' .
And so on dd aGusedm. Col. Parker hay-
ing worked himself up to a fearful point OF
indignation, makes known that he exacts
the rights of beliigerents for the people
claiming citizenship and protection from
the Confederate States Government, de-
handing the treatment of "all men in arms,
if CAPTURED, as prisoners of war, whether
they be found in the woods or prairies. .
The Colonels rigmarole concludes as fol-
lows: -
"And if another Confederate soldier or
citizen is executed without due process OF
law five ~ Union soldiers or citizens shall
with their lives pay the forfeit. This, sir,
shall be done independent of the conse-
quences. To take effect from and after the
Goth day of May, 4. d. 1862
Gen. Blunt replies that Parker need not
defer his proposed acts of retaliation till
the 10th of May; that he doesn't care what
his instructions are from the Confederate
Governments; and that it is sufficient tc
know that Parker's motley crew are in
surgents and assassins, debarred from all
rights and considerations extended to pris-
oners of war.
