ently but on approaching the nearest rebel picket,
commanded by Colonel Webb, of the sth Alabama,

stance: Il am citizen Of the United States, and loyal
to them. want you to understand that you have been

ceve him within the Confederate lines, but he would
permit him to remain at his post until he had ascertain

The flag of truce party then left Vallandigham and

ought to strike before the junction be effected and
Hooker press Lee before he be reinforced by the

The failure of Haeck to follow up the capture of Fort

that will follow the capture Of Vcksburg if it is not

The Heralds financial article says: The chief topic

yet to determine anything the point with certainty
much will depend the government regulations re-

pay for it With regard to the market which now ex-
lists at the South it is safe to say the people OF that
region want everything from corn -four and provisions
to dry goods groceries and all kinds Of manufactured
articles. But if the conhscaton act be carried out
those people will have no means Of paying for any OF
those articles they need All they have is some cotton
and sugar II the army take these will be idle to offer
Northern goods to the planters for however much they
may need them, and however willing they may be TO

merchandise Should the planters of Mississippi and
Louisiana evnce pentent spirit and thereby induce
the President to suspend the operation of the consca
ton act in their case-Whe their relatives are fighting
our troops on the Rappahannock-a further difficulty
would arise from the want of transportation. Of the
1900 100 steamers formerly plying on the Mssis-
spp very large proportion have been burned or other
destroyed and the remainder in the hands of
the government as transports supply and gunboas. Ii
is thus clear that if had Vcksburg Port Hudson and
every stronghold the rebels may erect the river
and reopened it from end TO end some time must
cessary eapse before any trade worth mentioning
be carried on there. If the river be open it will be
i great gain to the movement, which feed Banks
army from above instead of sending supplies round by
sea from New York to New Orleans as at present; and
immense quantity of cotton will doubtless be brought

sugar will also go up the river to Illinois, Bot so far as
private commerce is concerned it is pretty clear that
under most favorable circumstances very considerable
time must elapse before it amount to anything"
