severity of Yankee oppression (if such thing
were possible) toward the loyal population of
those towns. General D. q Hill has Certainly
lost cast by his unsuccessful movement, but his
reputation hiss suffered much more by his IN
dignised aud unbeclning correspondence With
Edward Stanley, Yankee governor Of North
Carolina, in which, for ths first time, a Southern
officer has demeaned himself BY bsndying
epithets with the enemy, and sunk to
the level of tho blsekguard whom he
was addressing. The Confederate States
have been exceedingly fortunate hitherto in the
published letters and documents of their official
representatives. From President Davis, whose
messages and proeIamstions ere models of good
taste and good English, down to the most OBJ
seuTs colonel, who has had occasion to employ
the pen ia this cause, all that has been written
has been marked BY high sslfrespoet and an
utter absence Of bravado, and It is deeply to be
regretted that a maior.general, and so brave
and skillful a leader as D. Il. Hill, should be
the first 70 dsviats from the severity and dignity
of Southern style.

We learn that The down train on the New Or

ploye, who had run out on q hand car, giving
information 70 the conductor that GRIERsoN's
cavalry had returned from Summit, and was y
ing in ambush for the capture Of the train, at
the former place. The train Immediately re-
turned to jackson. This seems to be satisfsc-
tory evidence Of the presence of the successful
rovers. On the other hand We are informed that
Mr.. FLANEERY, who left here yesterday morning
with party TO repair the telegraph, had reached
a point I've miles below Brookhaven. and was
in communication with the efiee here last eve
ming, several hours after the train WAS turned
back. This state of things is hard to reconeil
unless upon the presumption that the Yankee
general, as a bait, allowed the telegraph opera
tors to pass undisturbed, while he lay in wait
for larger game.

RICHMOND, April 70, 1868.
Rain, rain, pouring down in torrents frem g
sky which seems full of wateT-a weeks delay
at least in military operations on the Rappahen-
mock A gentleman, direct from General Lees
army, tells me the roads are yet well nigh inn
passsble. This was before the deluge of last
night and to-day; of course they are rendered
worse by Che foods which have just fallen. De-
serters from Hooker's army, say that Fighting
Joe win not advance because the men all de-
clare they have fought their last battle. Their
term of enlistment will expire in three or four
weeks, and they obstinately refuse to be shot at
when there Is q reasonable prospect Of soon
getting homs. LincoIn's visit to the army, ac-
companied by Mrs. Lincoln and their hopeful
sou, the Dauphin, was a decided failure, so far
as getting the men to re-enlist was concerned.
They listened to his appeals and huzzahed for
the 'glogious aag, and all that but not man
Of them came forward to volunteer for another
campaign. If this feeling is general with
the forces of the United States, Lincoln will
fnd sorne difficulty in the vigorous prosecution
of the war during the coming summer. The
conscription is unpopular, and ia some places
will be resisted. It is on account of these facts
that the New York Herald intimates that hos
tlities on an extensive scale may be considered
as postponed till next winter. There are two
parties, however, to such suspension. The
Confederates have something to say in relation
to this business, and when the North flags in its
energies, the South viii probably find its oppor-
tunity for redoubled exertion. do not believe
the 1st of July viii come before some great blow
shall have been struck here, but prophecy is a
very cheap and idle business, and viii make
no more predictions.
The difficulty Of having anything definite OF

RICHMOND, April 16, 1868.
There is little or nothing to be said to-day in
the way of Richmond CORE ,poudence, except
that The sun shines down brightly and warmly
at last from an uncloudsd heaven, and that
everything betolsens speedy opening of the
long deferred military campaign The inactiop
Of Hooker is probably due 20 the fact that the
Yankees have pursuaded themselves that we
are starving, and that if we are left to ourselves
famine will Boon accomplish what their arms
could not bring about.
It would really appear that the attack upon
Charleston has been indefinitely postponed.
The highly successful reconnaissance of the gun
boats has probably satisfied the great Admiral
Dupont ihst Charleston can only be taken by
regular approaches after the manner Of a siege,
and the season is too far advanced to admit Of
such investment. If they should begin next
week, the climatic fever of the South Carolina
marshes would sweep away three.fourths of the
besiegeTs before they had completed their first
parallel. Three weeks longer delay viii neces-
state tie pOstponsment of the next attack until
the advent of frost, full seven months of, by
which time we shall have mounted many more
Brooke guns and made . brts and batteries
stronger than ever.
The news to-day 81 ,sssage of the Vicks-
burg batteries by I've Of tie enemy's gunboats,
is the first piece of really unfavorable news that
we have had for several months What is to
be the result of it no one can hazard even
conjecture. Whether they will attempt juno
ton with Farragut by running the Port Hud-
son gauntlet, or endsavor to batter down our
fortifcations there, we shall Of course know in
few days. IF they are coal burning steamers,
there viii be vital necessity for them to go
down to New Orleans or return to Memphis.
Our hope is that they may yet be sunk OF cap
tured at some point or other of the river
The death of the Hon. Wm. H. Cooke was
announced in Congress today, and Of course
both houses adjourned without trsnsacting any
business In the house of representatives proper
tributes to the virtues of the deceased were paid

Kentucky, Garland of Arkansas, Currin Of
Tennessee, and Chsmbliss and Baldwin of Yir-
ginia. In the senate the sad event was an
ncunced By Gen. John B. Clark OF Missouri,
with few remarks Of sulogy, who was fol-
lowed BY his colleague, Mr.. Psyton, and Mr.
johnson Of Arkansas.
Strange as it may seeri, we are without def
mite intelligence from Gen. Longstreet at Suf.
folk and Gen Wise at Williamsburg.
