soUrM-sIDE VIEW or MATTERS ON TIL
MISSISSIPPI

A soUTu-sIDE VIEW OF MATTERS ON THE
MISSISSIPPI
VICKsBuRG, May THE enemy have
made no movement this side of Big Black
river. The enemy's cavalry is reported to be
about Cayuga. a party of Yankee cavalry
crossed at Hawkerson's ferry, on Thursday
night, and captured Mr.. Avon and son, plant
ers, and recrossed the Big Black again.
VIcKsBURG, May S.-The enemy are using
the spades on the other side of the Big Black.
The Yankees occupy Utica, Hines county,
Mississippi. Banks has published an order
in New Orleans, requiring all registered enc
mics by the LIST of May to take the oath, or
prepare to leave the Yankee lines by the 10Th
of May. The oath Is far more binding, and
will subject all who take it to Yankee con-
scrption.
YICKsBURG, May 9,-Nothing Few from the
front. The enemy are landing troops at
Youngs Point. 1t is supposed they are des-
tined to reinforce Grant. The Wing newspa-
per Office was destroyed by fire this after
noon; the origin of the fire is unknown.
Among the Yankees captured by Forrest
are many citizens of southern states. We
hope the governors of the several states will
promptly make a demand for the detention
and trial of these traitors under the state laws
1t will be worse than idle mockery to turn
them loose or exchange them.
FORTRESS MONROE, May l3.-We learn
from the Richmond papers that an act has
passed the confederate congress establishing
that the flag of the confederate states shall be
as follows The field shall be white the
length double the width, with the Union now
used as the battle flag, to be a square Of two
thirds the width of the flag, having the ground
red thereon, broad Saline of blue, bordered
with mullets, or five pointed stars, cores
ponding to the number Of confederate states.
The Richmond papers say, also, that 1000
prisoners arrived in Richmond the 9th inst,
from Fredericksburg. Frank 2. Blair, Jr.,
is reported among the captured. Passengers
state that the oath of allegiance was admins
tered to him at his own request The Rich
mond Courier claims victory at Fredericks-
burg, and places the rebel loss at 10000.

without being any the worse for it. England
has been quite rs proud as the United States,
and has found the latter quite as useful
since they ceased to be her own. "All just
men have come to the conclusion that the
states had right to he independent, and ii
was best they should be SO. The Inference
cannot escape us that the federalS will one
day come to the same conclusion with regard
to the southern states.'
The Times applauds the courage exhibited
on both sides, and thinks the federals ought
to admire the gallantry of the southerners,
who have shown themselves worthy to be sons
of freedom, and capable Of self-government,
and neighbors worthy Of being attached to in
friendly alliance.
The Morning Post editorillly deplores the
warlke brrvado Of the Americans against the
English. 1t contends that there is no ground
for war between the two countries, and does
not believe Units possibility.

More News from stupid reporters.

NEW York, May l4.-rhe Post says the
latest rumors from Washington, current to-
day, are as follows Fears OF rebel cavalry
raid upon the capitol are entertained in Wash
ington, and for some days the planks have
been removed from chain bridge, and full
battery stationed at the aqueduct bridge. Sun
day night rebel cavalry force made dash
through our lines and up to the chain bridge
This evidently was ii mere act or hravado.
Gen. Stonenan Is at the headquarters of the
army OF the Potomac, and Col. Fitzpatrick has
been ordered to report there.
Gen. Lee has detained all the nurses and
surgeons who accompanied the ambulance
train across the river, and has placed guns in
position at United States and Banks fords,
from which fact it is supposed that he intends
to assume the offensive and cross the river
for an attack on our forces. 1t is quite GER
tain that Gen. Hooker ordered a portion Of
our army to recrosS the river some days ago
but the plan was disapproved by Gen Hal
leck, who countermanded the movement.
Gen. Butterfeld has said that a movement
cannot be made for some days. Itseems not
unlikely that Gen. Halleck contemplates as
Sumlng command.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE comptroller
of the currency has decided that associations
organizing under the act to provide a national
currency, &c, shall be designated as national
banks, and not as national banking associa-
tons. A circular of explicit instructions
will be issued for the government of those de-
string to organize under the law, and the ap-
phcations already made will be returned, in
order that they may be presented in regular
and proper form.
Samuel I. Howard, formerly Of lie Roy,
n. Y, lately in charge of the note cutting
room, has been appointed deputy comptroller
Of the currency.
The treasury, now being abundanty sup
piled with legal tender notes, received in ex-
change for bonds, is combining its preparation

tons.

Our FOREIGN News this morning is very
full and interesting. 1t will be seen that the
English government and people-as repre-
scented in parliament and by the London
newspaperS-are more practically inclined
than our recent advices have suggested. AL
though the Times takes pains to state (with
warning tone that looks little like fear) that
one or two years may see necessity for the
putting forth of all the resources at the COM
s Soa1,d If the gpYernment and although there
seems TO be still some soreness ~-1-Ni.--
capture of the Peterhotf, and the action of
Mr.. Adams in giving his somewhat untortu-
nate note of indemnity, the general impress
sion of all our advices from England is quite
favorable to continued peace.
1t will be seen that a libel has been filed in
the case of the Alexandra, and that the tone
of the debates in parliament is conciliato-
ry and placable. 1t seems to be distinctly
understood in England that the action of our
government, so far, has been entirely justified
by the law of nations. 1t will be noticed that
Mr.. Seward claims that in the matter of send
ing public mails on private vessels, we have
allowed something more than there is any
precedent for.
From France we learn that Napoleon is
using his utmost exertons to prepare formid-
able for serious work at sea. His navy at
Cherbourg -iron-clad and otherwise-is be-
ing strengthened to its utmost extent. 1t is
limited thattrouble Is expected between France
and Sweden.
The Polish instruction is growing towards
really gigantic proportions. In the field the
Poles are gaining almost constant successes,
and they are evidently receiving aid from the
liberals all over Europe. A prominent mem
Der of the Prussian cabinet recently Joined
them and their cause grows more hopeful
from day TO day.
Looking at the latest news to which we
have access, viewing the disturbances in Eng
land, the starvation in Ireland, the Franco
Mexican complication, and the great insur-
rection in Poland, together with the other
disturbing influences sn the continent, it
seems not improbable that the great ''battle
summer" of the century may occur this year.
In any event everything now indicates that the
monarchies of Europe will have enough of |
occupation in home affairs to prevent their
putting any jealous interference into our
present war for the suppression of the re-
bellion.

IT is ''reported" that the president has de-
cided to Danish Vallandigham to Dixie, in
stead of having him sent to the Dry Tortugas.
Vallandigham's friends will do well to petition
to have him sent to England, to join John
O'Sullivan, and other malignant cOpperheads,
who are residing in that country. He could
there give full uiterance to his dsloyalty with
out danger of being called to order No con-
cealment or reservation would be necessary,
as he may learn from O'Sullivan himself.
This O'Sulivan, who formerly published the
Democratic Review, in New York, wrote
pamphlet against capital punishment, took
great pains to attract attention as ''leading
Democrat and finally became minister to
Portugal under President Pierce, has written
in London a pamphlet in behalf of the rebels.
Disioyal malignantS, who are ''persecuted'
by the loyal sentiment of the country, may
learn from that pamphlet what may be dared
and attempted by copperhead who fixes his
abode in the right latitude.
O'Sullivan, like Vallandigham, breaches
"peace," "peace at all hazards" not to the
rebels, but those who would crush rebellion
and uphold the federal governments and he
unfolds the copperhead plan for recognizing
the democratic party. He says that party
must stop the war against the rebels, "even
with a recognition of the southern confedera-
cy;" must repudiate the war debt, while the
rebel war debt must be paid; must repudiate
the old Union and reconstruct the north in
copperhead style. His lucubrations, adj
dressed TO Prof. Morse, are intended for gen.
eral circulation; and he puts them forth with
all the fearlessness of a traitor who knows
that he is quite beyond the reach OF arrest and
punishment. Vallandigham must admire his
fearless way OF talking treason and long to
initiate his example. lie should rejoice to be
sent across the water, or even to Richmond,
where he can speak his whole meaning and
conspire against the government without re
straint. If the old leniency must prevail and
dismiss this copperhead with a smile, let it
dismiss him to some place beyond our lines.
