LATEST NORTHERN NEWS.

RICHMOND, March 2o.-Despatches from Frederick
burg state that Northern dates Of the 18Th have been
received. The New York Times says the combined
attack Vcksburg may be looked for daily for it will
be impossible for Grant to leave and vessels for
the Yazoo expedition where they are. 1t was
probably intended that all the movements to be
simultaneous.
N. Gaillardet writes from Paris the 9th Feb-
ruary that insurrecton has broken out in Hungary
corresponding with that in Poland He mentions a
rumor that Napoleon will recall the French army from
Mexico, and treat with Juarez, upon the report by
General Forcy that the popularity of the Mexican
President insures his election by universal suffrage
1t is added that the French Emperor wishes to avoid
conflict with the Northern STATES, though the aid they
offer the Mexicans the unpleasant relations between
Seward and Mercer and the refusal OF the Washington
Cabinet to accept the last proposition of France, may
lead to difficulties.

TIE YANKEES Fo1LED.

Thrashed to their hearts content at Genesis
Point; beaten off for the present from Fort PEN
berton, on their rpproach to Vickrsburg by way of
the Tallahatchie and Yazoo; and now, most glor-
Gus of all, driven back, manned and crippled,
down the Mississippi from the bluffs of Port Hud-
son-the Yankees with all their shovels and dred-
cling boats, all their iro1-clads and "tin-clads are
making very poor work Of it. We cannot yet full
" appreciate the value of our success at Fort
Pemberton; but the repulse of the enemy at Port
Hudson is decided, damaging, disabling. Some
of their finest ships either destroyed or rendered
useless; and their land army standing idle and
afraid to cooperate with the fleet. All goes we'll
on the Mississippi Let us have only proper
tonate success at Vicksburg, and the affectionate
tenderness of the North west towards u.s. now tor
pid, will revive, and glow warmer than ever.
Touching the battle of Genesis Point Fort Nc
Alister) the Savannah "Republiean" of the 18th
instant gives an interesting account of this re-
markable engagement, wherein the relative pow
ers Of sand batteries and iron clads were fully
tested. The attack on the third of March was
the seventh attempt of the enemy to carry the po-
stion. The fire was kept up steadily for seven
and half hours without the slightest intermis-
sion. It is estimated the enemy threw some two
hundred and fifty shot and shell at the fort
amounting to some sixty or seventy tons of / and

of the rife gun where number were serving,
and but a ingle fragment was left on the floor;
yet no one was hurt. Several officers were lying
inthe door of the hospital and four or five others
standing around outside, and not ten feet distant,
when fifteen-jnch shell struck the bank, and
rolled down to the very door sill and exploded.
All were burnt with the powder, but not'one was
touched by fragment of iron. An officer of the
fort, whose word no one will dispute, informed us

UNNE1GHBORLY AND UNJUST.-Letters fro

UNNE1GuBoRLY AND UNJUsT.-Letters from
our North Carolina soldiers who have been sent to
Charleston and Savannah to defend those places
against the common enemy, relate the e1traordina-
~ fact that the North Carolina Treasury notes
which some of them carried with them were every
where promptly refused in payment for purchases
What sort of people they be who thus treat SOL
diers in defence of their property and their lives
and the lives of their families! Suppose the shop
keepers should be put to the expense of one cent on
every dollar to get current funds for those Treasu
~ notes would not that be a small contrib ution to
the conf fort and convenience of the poor and ILL paid
soldier, who exposes his life for the safety of the
said shop keeper? Shame, shame, such q mean
spirited set. We say nothing Of the discourtesy
offered to the State by the refusal of its notes,
though that might be commented on with severity
Fayetteville Observer.
Such conduct is much to be regretted by those
who desire TO maintain good feeling between the
citizens of State and South Carolina and
Georgia. North Carolina money of any kind is as
good as that of any other State, and it is shame
that our neighbors depreciate it without any good
cause, and disgrace to them to refuse to take it
from n c. soldiers who assisting in defending
South Carolina and Georgia cities. The sensible
and intelligent people of those States ought to try
and correct this matter.

any circumstances whatever, impress the supplies
