siN EVIL THAT CAN REMEDIEp.-At least two >|hundred thousand bushels of comh have been dis titled into whisky, in Arkansas, within the past six months Men who refused to sell it for bread stuffs have sold it to dstilers. Notwithstanding the civil and military laws liquor is made and sold In our city it is no secret that soldiers pro cure whisky whenever they want it. Our city au- thorites take no notice of the violation of the law and if the military attempt to arrest the evil, forthwith certain set begin to bawl about martial law, seizure of property, and to represent that we are tyrannized over. The evil is growing every day aud the hard earned money of the soldiers goes into the pockets of a few law breaking avaricious men, who would see the Confederacy sink, the cause lost and everything destroyed, so they made money. This evil can Do remedied and as the civil authorities refuse to act, the military should rid the city and country of these nusances. It is the duty oustices of the peace where parties are broug before them and proved to have violated the license law to commit them to ai bind them over to answer at court. If this was done and the liquor seized we would not see many drunken soldiers nor such open violations of the law. There are neli in this State whose acknowledged profits on dstilling are as high seven hundred dollars day. And while these men are making this mon- ev they are consuming corn and breadstulS that would feed thousands of families Those men louol at the civil law, which, if not dead, is very soundy asleep, and if the military authorities step in thev bern to howl and screech about martial law, and clamor for the removal oi the general, in hopes to get one who will wink at their crimes.

MAGNOLIA, Sept. 4th, 1863. MR EDIroR:-ln your paper of March 2Sth, see - son, J. $. Vernon, published as deserter For my friends wish to make the following state ment: In April 1862, he was sent to the Overton Hospital, in Memphis, with typhoid fever, was re- moved by Dr. Hummer to his residence, where he lay four months. After the occupation of Mem phis by the federals, he obtained a pass and came south rather than take the federal oath of alleg- ance, and in November last, reached his home, still in miserable health, and has not been until now able to reion his command at Port Hudson, which he was on the of starting for, when dis covered his name among list ot deserters rom Cant Peals company. All of which facts can be nrovep bv hfs papers and the testimony of good and true men therefore repel the charge of his having deserted, and any blame that may be attach ed to him, take upon myself

RrssIA AND THE UNITED STATEs.-The rebell- ion in Poland has. placed Lincoln in an awkward nosition. It will be remembered that the Emperor of Russia wrote Lincoln letter, rather enceura- eing him in his war upon the South and assuring him of the sympathy of the Rnssi"n government in his efforts to crush the rebe lion. Now that the Czar has | little rebellion of his own to subdue, it is to be expected that the Baboon will reciprocate the friendly letter. But this he dare not do The northern papers profess the warmest sympathy for the Poles, though the glaring inconsistency of fayoring one rebellion and disfayoring another, equally meritorous is evident The Polish officers in Lncoln's service, many of them able men, are placed in the strange attitude of endeavoring to fasten the yoke of tyrant upon free people, while their brethern at home struggling to throw theirs off. l the Fins and Hungalians shall revolt and the insurrectionary spirit develops it. self more fully in Europe, Lincoln will be apt to lose many of his best officers, who will go home fight in behalf of better cause.

TIE SrrUATIoN.--W have but little to add to the news contained in our telegraphic column.- In Virginia, every thiug indicates renewatot hos tilites at an carly day. Skirmishng was going on, which the papers seemed to view as the pre- Jude to a decisive battle. The seige of Charles ton has been suspended. The attack commenced on the 7th and was continued three or four days One account represents that the Keokuk wasdriven back crippled. Northern accounts. say she was sunk. We have seen no estimate of the losses on either side. As to the seige of Vicksburg being raised, we do not believe it. It is true that mum
 l,,r of transports and boats went up to Memphis, and it was reported that Grants army was at that city. But gentlemen just from the Mississippi river say that, about the l7th, ninety transports and gunboats went down the river. If not going to Vicksburg, they aiming to land in Arkansas, or Louisiana, to deyastate the country. What the movements of the federals mean, our readers can conjecture for themselves. We would not be sur prised to hear of battle in Virginia during the coming week. We are pretty certain of soon re ceiving an account of a naval fight on the lower Mississippi and q land fight in North Arkansas

~ Dispatches from Louisville state that the
Rebels, from three to five thousand strong,
with much larger force following them, have
taken possession of Danville, Kentucky. Dan
vile is in the centre of the State, and the move
ment is no doubt the commencement of the
threatened invasion under Longstreet. As the
seal OF secrecy has been broken by some of our
cotemporaries, it can now do no harm to state
that the Government has foreseen and prepared
for this movement General Burnside has been
ordered to the command, and the 9th Army
Corps, the veterans of Roanoke Island, New
bern and Antietam, already en- route for
kentucky. With these experienced troops
joined to the forces already in Kentucky, Gen
burnside will be in a condition to meet any
forces that the Rebels will be able to thro w
into Kentucky, and to defeat their purpose to
interfere with General Rosecrans's coming
campaign.
The latest advices from Kentucky speak
somewhat doubtfully of the Rebel invasion
One report is that Breckinridge is at Harrods-
burg with large force, and Is rigidly enfore-
ing the Rebel conscription act, and that the
Federal forces, under General Carter have
failen back to Lexington.

THE OTHER GUNBoATs VISIT RED RIVER.
IMPORTANT NEWS EXPECTED SOON.

CAIRO, March 25.-Later news from yicks-
burg confirms the arrival Of the gunboats
Hartford and Albatross of Admiral Farragut's
fleet at the mouth Of the canal, on the 20th
Officers from on board arrived at Gen Grants
headquarters, bringing dispatches from Ad-
mIral Farragut.
The gunboats ran the blockade at Port Hud-
son, and after coming some distance all but
two returned.
They have probably gone to the mouth of
Red river. That is to say, a portion Of the
gunboats after coming up past the mouth of Red
river, on the way to Ficksburg, returned TO
that river on some mission, probably two
fold one, to look after the rebel gunboats, and
to cut off the rebel supplies for Vicksburg from
the Red river region Ed. Star
General Banks had not yet come up to make
land attack, when the fleet run the bloc kade
The beats will pass into Lake Providence
as soon as the current in that direction per-
mits.
Reports from Greenwood [near Fort Penn
berton, on the Tallahatchie-Ed. Starl up to
Wednesday afternoon, say the fight had not
been renewed. Both parties, however, are
making active demonstrations, and the rebels
are mounting new guns, and otherwise
strengthening their position.
