NEW YORK, May 1.-THE steamer City
of New York, from Liverpool, May 9th,
and Queenstown 7th, arrived at midnight.
At the deputation Of the Trades Union
ed at a late meeting, ,sympathizing with the
North. The latter made a speech ex
pressing great pleasure at the reception
of the address. He admitted the difficult
tics of steering clear of collisions between
the two nations, but trusted that friendly
relations would be maintained. He as
serted that Notwithstanding the tone of
some Of the American speakers and
journals, there is no nation for which
Americans entertain greater regard than
for England; and if the real sentiments
of each people could be clearly estab-
lished towards each other, he would have
no fear of collision. He believed that the
trades Union had taken the right
course to produce such an understanding.
The Times looks upon Mr.. Adams
speech as most reasonable and timely, and
looks forward without mistrust for mu-
| tual fOrbearance. Americans must toler-
ate shortcomings in consideration of diff
culties of neutrals. In another article the
Times argues that it behooves England to
look leniently on the proceedings Of Wilkes,
in view of the maintenance of her own
rights when she becomes a belligerent.
The London Observer in a pacific editori-
al, credits the Lincoln Government with a
desire to cultivate friendly relations.
Layard, in the House of Commons, ex-
| planned the hauling down of the American
flag at the Island of Sombrero during the
stay there of the British man -of-war Phe-
Ian, and denied American jurisdiction,
and claimed that Island had long been
q part of the British Possessions in the
| Caribian sea. There had been no cor
respondence on the subject.
In the Russian reply to the Powers on
| the Polish question, it agrees to negotiate
in a pacific manner on the basis of the
treaty of 1915. The reply is not generally
regarded as satisfactory.
Insurgents continue active.

The Nashville Dispatch of Wednesday

The Nashville Dispatch of Wednesday
contains the following account of the kill
ing of the rebel Van Dorm:
''The reported killing of General Van
Dorm by DR.. Peters has been confirmed
1t occurred in his quarters at Spring Hill.
Or. Peters has arrived in this city and
from him we learn that the cause of the
difficulty which resulted in the death of
van Dorm, was an interview, held thirty
hours previous to the killing, in which the
latter agreed, on his honor, to give DR..
Peters a written statement the next day,
setting forth four distinct facts. DIR. Peters
said to him that, upon the fultillment of
this promise he would spare his life to his
wife and children, although Van Dorm had
said he cared nothing for his own wife. The
next day DR.. Peters was sick and did not
call upon Van Dorm until the second day.
Thursday morning, about eight, when he
demanded of Van Dorm, a compliance with
his promise, which he seemed not inclined
to do. DIR. Peters then said that he would
give him half an hour in which to comply
and distinctly notified him that, in case Of
failure, his life should be the forfeit. He
then walked up into the village. On his
return Van Dorm read to him what he had
written. The first clause fully complied
with his promise; the second was an en-
tire Misrepresentation; and the other two
acknowledgements he refused to make.
Or. Peters then denounced him for his bad
faith, when Van Dorm cursed him for a
cowardly dog" and ordered him to leave
the room, or he would kick him out. DIR.
Peters then drew his pistol and fired, the
ball taking effect in the left side of the headI
and produced instant death.
DIR. Peters picked up the statement Van
Dorm had prepared, and has preserved it
as circumstantial evidence of proceeding
events, and mounting his horse, rode off.
Avoiding the pickets at Hurts, he crossed
Duck River, and arrived at SLelbyville,
when he learned that Gen. Polk, to whom
he had intended surrendering himslf, had
issued an order for his arrest, The next
he left for Winchester, disguised,
and passing through Gainsboro' and Gala
tin, arrived at this place Monday morning.

Negro Regiments.

Col. Thomas, from Gen. Banks Depart
ment, states that Gen. Winan's brigade is
more than filled, and the new country just
opened by Banks campaign will furnish
two or three divisions of negroes, and in
response to Banks call for a Corps de Af-
frique. No doubt the rebels are engaged
in raising negro regiments, as it is only
from such material they can now in the
extreme Southern States recruit their
ranks. Negroes are not backward in
adopting uniform which is 4heir death
warrant if taken by the rebels.

RICHMOND, Va, March Is,

My Dear Fanny: Your letters have just
been received, and the pleasure it gave us
you cannot imagine. Harry was perfectly
delighted with his uniform. The goods you
spoke of in your last have been received,
and were perfect God-send. The quinine
and liquors were very much needed. Those
presented to our Government as you de-
sired, and the other things were sold at
cost. Will you please forward goods to the
amount of the inclosed order Immediately?
We have great demands for several items
in the list, as they are needed by ON. GoU-
ernment, and knowing your promptness in
filling all such orders, we can rely on your
dispatching the goods at the earliest possi-
BILE moment. / received the carte de yisite

have given it to our authorities. There
will be a strict eye on him.
Q, Fannie! If we only had more such as
you in Maryland, how MANY of our brave
soldiers would be supplied in all their
wants, but you have done more than any
one can imagine, but you will be fully re-
Warded some day, if not in this world you

war upon women is beneath notice, but
acknowledge he's right in one respect, that
the Baltimore ladies are more dangerous
than the men. I'm of the opinion, that if
the men were like the women, the oitlainous
Yankees would have boen obliged to make
a retrograde movement long ago:

| The Tfibune's dispatch says that move
ments are on foot strongly supported both
in and out Of the Cabinet, for the appoint
ment of Gen. Butler to command the De-
partment of the West.
| The Provost Marshal's have been direct
ed to proceed with the draft forthwith, but
| it is doubtful whether any can be made be-
fore the middle of July. Volunteers may
be called for before that time.
The Times special states that Senators
Wade and Chandler have arrived from Fal-
mouth, and report our troops in the most
effective condition and the best of spirits,
and impatient for an immediate advance
on Lees army.
Capt. Floyer, our Chief Ordnance officer,
reports that we lost eight guns and captur-
ed nine, thus putting the lie on the rebel
assertion that they captured SO guns.
FORTRESS MONROE, May 16.-Two small
boats, the Emily and Arrow, engaged in
carrying mails, &C., from Norfolk through
Dismal Swamp Canal to North Carolina,
were captured yesterday near Curratuck
Bridge, forty miles from Norfolk. All on
board were taken off towards Frank
lin, on the Blackwater. The rebels made
our men work the boats, in order to pass
our gunboats without detention.
The Richmond Sentinel of the 18th has
the following:
Jackson, Miss, May l2,-The enemy
Yesterday advanced with a column Of
twelve thousand men upon Raymond,
Miss, where Gen. Gregg had 4 100 infantry,
few cavalry, and no artillery. Skirmish-
ing began at o'clock a. M; the enemy
being continually reinforced until O'Clock
p. NJ, when he opened battle heavily with
musketry. Gregg fought two hours with
musketry alone, when hearing that the
enemy were heavily reinforced, and that
the reinforcements were ready to engage,
he retreated through Raymond. He will
be ready to make stand at Mississippi
Springs. He has been reinforced with in
fantry and artillery.
From the Charleston Mercury we learn
that the guns of the Keokuk now lie on
South Commercial wharf. They consist of
two long eleven inch columbiads, and will
soon be mounted for our defense. They
are valuable acquisitions, no less than
handsome trophies of the battle of Charles
ton harbor.
The Petersburg Express of the 18th says
that retaliatory resolutions were adopted
by the Confederate Congress which pro-
vides that every commissioned officer
, commanding negroes against the South
when captured shall be put to death and
the negroes delivered to the State authori-
ties to be dealt with according to the pres
ent or future laws. The same paper speaks
disparingly of affairs at Vicksburg, and
says it is due to the people that they should
know how affairs stand.
