SAVING Of the steamer Fulton, which arrived
here yesterday.
1t fully confirms what we published on the
arrival of the George Washington, on Wednes-
day last, In reference to the successes of Gene
raj Banks in the Bayou Teche region, Louisi-
ana. severe battle had been fought In the
Vermillon Bayou, resulting in the complete dis
comfture of the rebels, the capture Of 500 prs-
oners, and the destruction Of strongly fortified
rebel batteries and salt works, from which the
people for miles in the interior were supplied.
This confirmation of our previous advices Is
very encouraging, and reflects much credit on
the activity and earnestness Of purpose dis
played by Major General Banks and the brave
officers and troops under bis command.
Whatever work remains to be done in crush
ing out tho last vestige Of rebellion In Louisi-
ana will, there is no doubt be done, and done
promptly, taking the work Of the past few
weeks as an earnest of the future.

A DoDoE OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Great fuss has been made over the seizure Of
vessel in Liverpool by the British government
on suspicion Of her destination being the Con-
federate navy, or being built for the purpose Of
privatsering. This is all sham, and for the pur-
pose Of covering up the escape Of some half
dozen other war ships to sea. 1t is mere dust
thrown in the eyes Of the British public and in
the eyes Of the American people. 1t will turn
out perhaps, after all, that the seized vessel Is
perfectly innocent in the eyes Of the British
judiciary, there not being sufficient evidence
against her. But If she should be condemned
1t will only be in order 10 send out whole
squadron Of contraband vessels under the cloak
of legal justice to the United States. Such Is
British hypocrisy.

TIE DELAY IN THE DRArr.-The administra-
ton Is unaccountably slow in arranging for the
long talked about CONSUMPTION. II we are To
crush the rebellion there must be such do
lay. We cannot understand why the needed
provost marshals have not as yet been ap.
pointed. There can be no excuse for such
negligence, as there are hundreds and thousands
Of soldiers incapacitsted for military duties who
would serve admirably Is agents for the draft.
There iano time to lose. In few weeks thou
sands of our troops who enlisted for two years,
others for nine months, will leave the service,
their time having expired. There are no less
than thirty-eight regiments from New York
alone which, during the next two months, will
have served the term they enlisted for. In the
face of these circumstances the delay of the
administration as regards the CONSUMPTION is
we repeat, unaccountable. Measures must bs
taken to prevent such reduction of our forces
as will ensue, unless the administration pro
vidss substitutes for the troops who will leave
the service so soon. To allow the army to be
come weakened at this crisis were to commit
folly such as would throw into the shade all
the fearful negligences and blunders of the
past

SINGULAR PoLrrIcAL PREprcrroS.-A person
curious to know the result Of the war, and the
probable time Of Its termination, few days
ago consulted an eminent spirit medium, asking
what time JEFF. Davis and his confreres would
be hanged. The medium replied that this event
would take place in two years and half from
date, and that at the same time Garrison. Gree
ley, Wendell Phillips and Henry Ward Deecher
would be suspended from the same rope. For
our part, we do not believe IN spiritualism; but
as Greeley is believer, he will, of course, look
out for No. l. Judge Edmonds, too, who holds
so frequent communion with the President and
the spirit world about the war, ought to find
out all about this prediction--wbether II has
emanated from lying spirit or a true spirit,
and report the result to Mr.. Lincoln, that he
may be governed accordingly

The STARVATION DODGE IN THE SoUTH.-The
stories 80 industriously circulated at the South
Of the state Of restitution to which they are re-
duced are not to be taken as literally true. If
they were, then they would present the re-
markable circumstance of q case of starvation
lasting for two years, with the sufferer as strong
and robust a. ever. The people of the South
are just as far from the danger of starvation AZ
the stalwart beggar who appeals to your sym.
patty by the plea, written in chalk on the side
walk, or printed on card suspended round his
neck, ~ am starving" That the prices of all
the necessaries Of life at the South are enor-
nous cannot be denied; but that fact is owing
partly to the comparative worthlessness of the
circulating medium, partly to the operations Of
the speoulatofs who are now denounced a. in
fnitely more rapacious than Yankees, but more
particularly to the want Of railroad and steam.
boat facilities. The latter cause is that assign
cd by JEFF. Davis in his late manifesto,
and the same idea has been expressed in the
Georgia Legislature. The Confederate States
have supply Of the real necsssaries Of life; but
their means Of transporting produce to the re-
quisite points are very deficient. The way to
press upon the rebels successfully IL to break
up still more their means of communication
by an advance Of our armies, 10 as to render II
impossible for them to provision their forces.
The starvation dodge must not succeed in slack
ening our Efforts The rebellion Is only to be
nut down by hard knocks
