depredations of the Alabama were committed,
and among other ports she was instructed to
enter was that of Fernando de Norouka where
the Alabama rendezvoused. Upon reaching
the West Indies Admiral Wilkes, instead Of
allowing her to carry out the orders of the
Department, seized her as his flag ship, and at
the latest dates she was cruising under his
directions.

finer than our wool, but contains a fifth more

wool is taken from the bales, cleaned, sorted,
carded, spun, wove, the cloth is Dyed and
comes out nearly equal to the finest German
broadcloth, in Marvellous short space of
time, and everything is done in the most syste-
matte manner. In running the mill one year
they use about 100000 lbs. of wool, employ
800 hands, and their pay roll amounts to over
$1,000 monthly.

NEW YORK, May 20.

NEW YORK, May 20.
Murreesboro' adyices of the 10Th state that
the movement commenced by a portion of
Bragg's army, under Breckenridge, has become
general, and Polk and Hardee have withdrawn
their forces in the direction of Vicksburg,
though Bragg keeps his headquarters at Shell
byville, as if to watch Rosecrans.
Letters dated the 10Th state that Col. Burns
division of Braggs' army has been actually
sent to the Mississippi, and Bragg's army is
now falling back to the line of Tennessee.
The Murireesboro' dispatch of the 2Sth says,
Gen. Grant at last accounts was still is position
before Vicksburg
The rebel accounts of the six Unsuccessful
assaults are exaggerated. They seem to have
magnifed every reconnaissance into an assault.
1t seems pretty certain, however, that once
since Saturday Gen. Grant did make pretty
general assault and failed to carry the works.
Johnston has not yet attacked Gen. Grant,
but was gathering his force not far away 1t
was not supposed the city would hold out
longer than the 18th under the tremendous
fire of Grants artillery.
Another Murfreesboro dispatch says, an
order was sent to the camps last night 10 hold
themselves in readiness TO march at moments
notice without rations.
Reports of formidable demonstrations on
our right are not confirmed, but there is prob
ably rebel force enough in that quarter to keep
our troops on the alert.
Memphis dispatch OF the 18th says Gen.
Carr and Lieut. Col. Cameron, of the Saith In
diana, are killed. Capt. Holman, of the oath
Indiana, is killed. Lieut.. Col. Barton had his
right hand shattered while grasping the colors
of his regiment and endeavoring to rally his
men under a murderous fire.
dispatch from Somerset, KY, of the 25th
says about 200 rebel cavalry made another
dash to the north of the river this morning,
and captured few more of Wolford's cavalry.
The men escaped subsequently, but lost their
horses.
Reinforcements to the number of 5000 have
arrived at Cumberland Gap. 1t is also rumored
that Morgan has gone there

THOMAS STREET.-We noticed while pas
sing up Spring street yesterday, that a gang
OF city workmen were busily engaged In build
ing new street, which was laid out last year,
to be called Thomas street. 1t runs from
Spring street, between Emery and Vaughan
streets to Pine, on the original Vaughan Place.
and through land now owned by Messrs. J. b.
Brown and Robert Hull. 1t is expected that
the Committee of the City Government will
report favorably on the laying out of the con-
tinuation of Emery street near and parallel to
Thomas street, running to new street called
Cushman street, which runs from Clark south
westerly, parallel to and between Pine and
Spring streets.

Browns COMMERCIAL CoLLEGE.-We call
particular attention to the advertisement of
Browns Commercial College in another col
umn. Mr.. Brown was the first to establish ir
this city, in 1850, an institution for the thor
ough teaching of Bookkeeping, Navigation,
Writing and kindred branches, and he has con-
tinued a steady and successful pursuit of in
struction for thirteen years, numbering among
his many scholars some of our younger bust
ness men. Mr.. Brown has classes from some
OF the Grammar Schools of the city; one in
writing is now nearly ready to-graduate, and
another is to commence on Wednesday next
at the College No. l61 Middle Street. This is
a good time to commence, on the part of those
who would like to acquire good style of writ
ing, or better knowledge of the practical
branches taught so thoroughly by Mr.. Brown,
to enable one to enter upon the business of
life

gB-We understood that Giles b. Stebbins,
Esq, of New York, has been engaged by the
Spiritualists to lecture in Mechanics Hall
tomorrow. He may be said to belong
to the radical class of public speakers,
one who always has something to say and is
possessed of an easy eloquence Of expression
rarely surpassed. One always feels after listen
ing to him for an hour, even if they do not
fully agree with him, that they have had their
slumbering thoughts agreeably aroused, or that
a substantial addition has been made thereto.
If we mistake not, day spent with Mr.. Steb-
bins, may be counted as real good obtained,
and looked back to as the dawn of some noble
resolution with which to grace the future of
life.
