- A telegram from Memphis to the nor thern press says that the Memphis Bulletin of the 2nd, contains an account of union meet ing at Fayetteville, Ark We would like to see the account and known who figured in such a meeting, if one was held.
 - The Alexandria (La., Gazette says that many of the ladies of that city go hoopless and expresses the opinion that hoops can be dis perSed with, as they mere matter of form We asked young lady friend if this was true, and the only answer she made, was to tuck her head and say chee, chee.''
 - in addition to the canal opposite Vicks- burg, and the one near Lake Providence the Yankees cut one at Yazoo, pass to enable their gunboats to pass into the Yazoo river, above the fortfcations.
 - The dispersion of the blockaders at Charleston, has put the North in ferment.- When they were driven from Galveston and Sa- bine Pass, Magruder proclaimed the ports open Beauregard did the same at Charleston, and The position taken is that if a blockade is once raised the enemy cannot shut out neutral yes ses until after sixty days notice has been given This position IS sustained by divers admiralty decisions and by some in the supreme court o the United States. To offset this, the federals claim to have had two circles of blockading vessels at Charleston. The question is elabo~ ratey discussed in the papers of both gov ernments. The upshot of it is that if England or France desire to take advantage Of 1t, thell vessels may claim the right to come in and fl captured, the government of either may claim indemnity It is fine bone to quarrel over, l they want quarrel. If not, it will be of nc commercial benefit to us.

 II. we m tntain our present position, which we undoubtedly will, until June next, when the new crop of small grain begins to come in, and when the federal army will begin to diminish by the ex pirafion ot the term ot service of the two years men enlisted at the beginning of the war, and the nine m nths men enlisted last summer we will agaln advance to the Ohio river and into Mary land, Ii not into northern States And we will 20 there to conquer peace, ii it is not made before Thirty-eight regiments of troops from the State of New York alone, will be disba nded next June, and troops rom other States in proportion. The places oi these troops never can be supplied Vol: unteering and enlistng are done at the North. Ii fact, by the first of July, at the latest, the war win be virtually 1t an end.
 Another week oi the war has passed and we are that much nearer the goal. The rainy season is abont over. and there will hardly be any more con siderable rises in the Arkansas river this spring. The danger from gunboats, if there ever was any. has passed, and if the federas should attempt to come, it must be by land marches, in which event we will be their equals, if not superiors.
 Our prospects were never more cheering in Ar kansas than at the present moment. Our troops are in comfortable quarters, regaining their health and spirits, and rapidly recruiting their num- bers. On the review last week, they made fine appearance. They were well clothed, good shoes, were we'll drilled, seemed cheerful and good humored. All who witnessed the review were highly gratifed, and returned to the city satisfied that Lincoln would yet have hard time of it Gre npossessng and holding the State of Arkansas"

THE SIrUATIcx.-There is nothing definite from beyond the Mississippi. In Virginia, Stuart has been at work and captured Yankee regiment In North Cirolila, there had been a battle, in which the federas claim victory, but we have not seen the southern account. There has been fighting at Savannah, but to what extent can not learn. In Tennessee there has been no deci sve battle, or had not been up to the middle of February, up 10 which time we have northern and southern dates. Forrest made attack on Fort Donelson and successful at first, but compelled to retire. There a skirmish at Port Hudson, in which the Confederates successful.
 The Yankees were drowned out at Vicksburg They worked on the canal till forced to quit it by the water coming down through the crevasses above them. It is stated that they have come up the river to the Yazoo pass and are trying to go down to the Yazoo, by that route. The impression seems to be that a number of their eunboats and transports are up the river, and at, or above the mouth of the Arkansas. The canal seems to be given up, at least during the present high water, and they are trying to find some other plan to cir cumvent Vcksburg. It does not make much q fer ence how they reach Vicksburg, for they will have to fight when they get there. The teegraphic dis patch and the items that we have collected and condensed from northern papers, will give req der5 the latest news We have.
 The differences at the No tn increase daily The radicals become more radical and the conservatives more determined The inevitable course of Lin coln's policy will be to kick Kentucky out of the old Union. There is bitter feeling growing up between the two parties that will end in blood here after. New Jersey is taking the lead among the Middle States. Her legislature IS entertaining and will pass resolution to pay part of the appropriation to buy negroes for purposes of eman cipation We are glad to the abolitionsts show no signs of wavering and are not disposed to abate ot of their position. If they will insist on negro regiments and emancipation, they will get up a civil war at home and relieve us. The rapid formation of secret societies at the North is an encouraging sign, for they are terrible and dreaded engines in despotic government. The situation continues cheering, and the end is steadily approaching.

s We have some particulars of the taking of the federal ram, Queen of the West. She ascend ed Red river and captured the Era No. 5. She was accompanied by the ferry boat De Soto. An hour or two after capturing the Era, she reached Gordon's Bufi about 50 miles below Alexandria, and commenced the attack on the Qualifications at that point, about sundown The firing was kept up after dark, when shot from the Bluff cut her steam pipe in two, when she drfted ashore and raised q white light which was not discovered or understood. Surprised at the cessation of the firing force was sent down when they heard the crew shouting that they had surrendered, and of course, our men took possession. The commander Ellet, succeeded in pushing a soldier from bale of cot ton, and getting on it foated down to the DeSoto. This he set fire to and then went on the Era got up escape made known the Confederate gunboat Webb was started in pursuit, and may have suc- ceedel in overhaulng him before he reached Wick ksburg.
 The Queen of the West is sai l to be one of the best rams adoat, has small but finished arma. ment and has bow thirty feet in length, made of solid timber. She can be repaired in few days. Ellet was newly married and has suddenly come to grief. We did not learn how many prisoners or what stores were taken. Many of the crew were scalded or drowned.

LEGAL TENDER.-We are in receipt of sever al letters, one of them from our friend Hon. Samuel Robinson, complaining that the people cannot pay their debts with Confederate money and suggesting that it be made 8 legal tender. They also ask what are the existing laws in this relation As to a legal tender the constitution of the Confederate States prohibits anything from being so made but gold and silver. The Confederacy has gone as far as it could by ma king its issues receivable n payment of all dues, except export duties, and tundable in eight per cent stock or bonds. It took fur : ther steps to procure cotton and produce basis for the notes and the result is, that they are ap- preciated by capitalists abroad and by our ene- mies W hen peace is proclaimed, Confederate money will command premium over green. backs. The State of Arkansas, for its own issues and as regards Confederate money, has gone as far as it could go; except to guarantee the payment of her part of the national debt. By the act of the General Assembly of Novem- Der 18th, 1861, it is provided that any judgment debtor may have execution issued and tender in payment Confederate notes or bonds and if the creditor shall refuse to accept these, he has no further remedy for the collection of his debt until one year after treaty of peace is ratified. The State also provides that this money shall be received in payment for taxes.
 Upon the refusal of creditor to take Con- federate money the only remedy that we are aware of, is public opinion. Let the tender be made in presence of witnesses. A law com polling the creditor to take it might operate in iuriously, as where minors, whose little estates are loaned and borrowed in gold and silver might be repaid in funds which the borrower bought at heavy discount with their specie. Without public opinion to sustain them, laws are often imperative and the less legislation on such points is the best. In the monetary al fairs of a country the axiom holds good, viz: That Is the best government which governs least"

for the South that to make stand for the lbera- ton of the slaves. Of ba tie. courage and victory assurance, there is not the least trace to be found in the eastern army. The soldiers do not believe that they can beat the enemy, and therefore con- sider an advance impossible. They seem to be SO relaxed that it is doubtful whether they are capa- ble of hoping for victory. Of Hooker hardly any thing more is expected than of Burnside. he assertions increase with every day. The fresl- dents proclamation is publicly cursed, and the conduct of the soldiers in and in the clies IS vulgar and brutal beyond description. Of patri- otism you find as little in the eastern army as amongst the people of the eastern States. This people seem to have no longer Idea of patriot ism; not man speaks of sacrifices; from love or the cause, hardly ten men would remain in a reg ment. It is a real treat, after having conversed with the soldiers of the Rappahannock, to converse with soldiers from Rosencrans and Grants armies

On the oth CT hand the speeches of Payne. and Doniphan, though taking compromising ground and mas king foolish admissions, contain some elo- quent passages. Here IS a specimen of Don iphan's sarcasm:
 "Hundreds of Union refugees from Missouri, now lie unprotected upon the plains of Kansas, tented only by the canopy of heaven, existing by the bounty of the Government and their bare and frosted feet marking with blood that strange soil, while death from exposure IS daily lessening their numbers.
