have nothing Of great Importance to re-,
late concerning military matters in the yicin.
ity Of Lake Providence, md so far as can
learn from parties lately arrived from Youpg's
Point, there is equal du11ness there. There
is nothing new in journalistic sense at
either point.
The age Of cannls, bayous and cut-offs seems
10 hare passed. We hear OF no new demon
strations with shoyc1s aud hoes, and hence
reasonably conclude the nge Of conflict ap'
proacheth. The canal at Vicksburg is fully
commanded by batteries on the Mississippi
shore, the expedition through Yazoo Pass has
bcca abandoned, the route ,1a steele's Bayou,
notwithstanding the announcement Of Its suc-
cess through that model and reliable sheet.
the Memphis Bulletin, is q failure, and there
Is nothing left but to sit down and await dc.
velopments and the fill Of the water, or move
towards the Red River country by way Of Lake
Providence and Bayou Macon.
do not know what las been determined
upon. 1t certainly looks as If Gen. Grant had
abandoned all intentions Of attacking vicss-
burg in the rear, and was unwilling to accent
the responsibility Of assault in front.
TEE NAVAL SITUATION,
There is no indication of change In thc
situation and relative positions Of Ad1nirals
Porter aud FaITagut's fleets, The blockade of
the Yazoo Isl still vigorously maintained, aud
canal as heretofore. The Switzerland is re- re-.
paired and will cooperate with the two
steamers from the lower fleet. donot know
their destination, but it has been suggested
that they design paying visit to tie Red
River; md attempt the capture of Fort Taylor
and Alexandra, La.
There is this morning O rumor flying about
camp, that six steamers were destroyed a day
or two since, in the vicinity Of Vicksbnrg;
but the extraordinary improbability Of this
statement, added to the circumstance that it
gained currency on All Fouls Day: suggests
sensible men can delight in originating ru-
sion.

secession, Europe never thought Of such a
thing, never SO understood the American
compact, and never would have recognized
it If such had been its acknowledged basis.
Neither will the American people recog.

gone to war with its advocates, and will

Tic rvturus Of the election of the various

and this town by 43-on last Tues iay they

The OririnaI Copnerhead.

1hc original Copperhend~
On the Goth Of October, 1850, while the war
Of the Revolution was progressing, Benedict
Arnold issued a Proclamation to the citi-
zens and soldiers of tho United 6tates," ap-
pcaling to them to turn against Washington,
Hancock, and their compatriots, just rs Ger.
tain politicians :rc now appealing to turn
against the Government. The following cx-
tract from that Copperlcad address bcars n
resemblance go near to the appeals now made
in the name Of "Democracy," that the latter
ecems to hare copied its words as well as
spirit Arnold says: "You are promised
liberty by the leaders Of your affairs, but is
there an indiy idnal in the enjoyment Of 1t
sare your opprcssors? Who among you dare
tptok Of srite What he things against the
tyranny which llas robbed you Of your proper
ty, imprisoned your sons dragged yon to the
field Of battle, and Is daily delngiug the coun-
try with your blood.''
What an excellent leader tue author Of this
would be for those who now denounce the
"tyrnnny'' Of our "oppressors,' " arbitrary
arrests, burdens If taxatlon,'' &c. What
4 pity that our fathers did not listen to his ad-
vice, and "stop the war" as 'Democratic''
politicians insist must he done nn5i

That Handkerchief,

The reported death of Madame Marstzek,
published in the REPUBLICAN some days siice,
arose through a very singular mistake. The
deceased was really the wife of signor sbriglia,
the opera singer, but she happened TO carry, at
the moment Of her sudden death, handker
chief bearing Madame Maretxek's name. She
fell down, dead, at the doorway of house, at
which, feeling faint In the street, she had
stopped and solicited drink of water. The
name on the handkerchief led to the mistake
In her identity. A handkerchief plays prom
inent part, the reader will remember, In tho
tragedy of Othello, and here, In real life, we
ind it doing something just as singular. ...
By the way, 1t was Albertina Phlaum's hand
kerchief, found by New York detective In the
pocket of the corpse of sigsmund Fsllner, for
whose murder Ratskey is to be hung on the
ed Of September next, that ultimately led 10
the Identification Of the body and the unravel-
ment of the entire story of his association with
Miss p, her sister Mrs. Marks, and Ratskey.
The body had previously been buried by the
authorities, In New Jersey, as that Of person
unknown. Shakespeare might have said Of 9
marked handkerchief as he did of murder
Though II hath no tongue" 1t twill speak
with most miraculous organ" ....

Admiral Dahlgren sent hsg Of truce to Fort
Wagner to-day, In charge OF Fleet Captain
George ". Rodgers. accompanied by Ensign
Laruc r. Adams. They proceeded In one Of
the elegant ten-oared cutters of the Wabash,
the crew being dressed In white, with white
caps, and collars trimmed with blue. Tho
Captain and his lieutenant were In. full dress,
with white pants, vests and gloves, and the
whole appearance Of the flag party was decided.
ly elegant. They were accompanied by tug
and proceeded on slowly towards the front OF
the fort, when they were stopped by solid
shot passing about twenty feet above their
bows. Capt. Rogers. then anchored his boat
and sent the tug back, when another shot was
fired across the bows Of the cutter. There had
been no signal givon or any other indication
Of desire for them to stop.
Amer waiting about twenty minutes Colonel
Tracy, with four or five ofiicers, came to the
beach and invited our party ashore. Colonel
Tracy was the spokesman, and advanced and
shook hands, but the others held back. All OF
them seemed morose and gloomy. Captain
Rodgers, after delivering the letters with which
he was intrusted, prepared to depart, ssking no
questions nor entering into any general con.
versation. The letters delivered were supposed
70 be a copy Of the Presidents proclamation
with regard to negro troops, and letter from
Admiral Dahlgren in relation to the fate of the
wabash's launch.
The English boat that went into Charleston
yesterday also came out this morning, bringing
the English Consul along, who is now on board
of the Plover, doubtless intending to remain on
board until the fight is over.
