Thomas H. Yeatman, Special Agent Of the
Treasury Department, to-day, seized los bales
and thirty-sevcn bags Of cotton brought up
from below Helena in yiolation Of special or
dcrs. The cotton is said to be the property
Of Compton & Ranger; but rumor says that
high military authorities are part owners, and
German Is mentioned.
Certainly Germans skirts have long borne
the imrutatlon of Il secret co-partncrship
with Ranger, . jew, owning the steamer Ev-
ansyillc, and Col. Compton, who runs that
craft. Certainly, also,t the Evansville has been
VIGOROUSLY the recipient Of trading facilities,
under Gorman's special orders, denied to
other steamers. The Government may gain
by looking into Gornan's goTnsandizing ope'
rations in cotton.
J. E. Merriman will probably be appointed

THE NEWS.

In the House yesterday, the Illinois |
and Michigan Ship Canal measure was up /
for discussion and is now near decision
g. which its friends speak hopefully.
The leaycn is working. Our boys in
Tic field see that to increase the army |
lv 100000 black soldiers, to be
ct1iccred by whites, Offers an opening for |
advancement. With tic same caSe:ness
t+-*t British officers seek commands II
Scloy regiments, there is now a rush for
commissions to lead our black allies. 1t is
caly The home Copperhcads who :1c dis
snsted, and they proportioratcly as they
understand the new dangc1s threatening
their Southern masters.

rtSticn to take the city and 50 solve the
doubt.
From yicksburg little that is new ex-
cent new canal on the Yazoo. The steam
ram Queen Of the West ran tho gauntlet of
;.:e cncmy's heavy gurs, aad is now below

There is NOW a fair prospect that the

argument being palpably brought home to

The Ways and Means Committee and
The Secretary Of War are from present ar-

by George B. Smith, formerly connected

Obstacles in the Valley Of tho Mississippi,

alluded to is the very man who recently
turned back with oaths and opprobium m
