GENERAL NEWS ITEMS.

The topics discussed by Senator
Sumner, in his speech at Cooper Institute,
New York, Thursday evening, we're -
"Our foreign relations, showing our pres
ent perils from England and France the
nature and condition of Intervention by
mediation; and also BY recognition of q
new power, with slavery as a cornerstone;
and the wrongful concessi OF ocean bel
ligerency." Mr.. Sumner took strong
ground in respect 10 the responsibility Of
Great Britain for oil damages ind cted on
our commerce by the pirate ships fitting
out 10 her ports.
The prospects of very large tobac-
CO crop in Kentuey and Indiana is mos,
encouraging. Nearly every farmer in
Southern and Western Kentucky has more
or less ground under cultivation in this
great staple, while in indiana the area of
ground pantel in it is at least one half
greater than any previous season.
In 1858 there were $500 sewing
machines sold in America. In 1859 the
sales reached 46, 24s. The annual saving
70 the United States in labor alone is CON-
puted at e29. .0O0, 600; that is to say, this
extra amount must have been paid if the
same amount Of clothing had been pro
dsosd b. manual labor.

SOMETHING FOR THE Poor MANA
man naturally seeks for an article which
will be of the greatest service. This
seems to apply to medical remedies as
we'll as to articles Of wear. When we
have an attack of the rheumatism, sore
throat, pain 10 the stomach or chest, OF
any Of the thousand snd-one ills which
human flesh is heir to. we at once lool
around for some kind Of relief. Bear il
mind that Lambersons Poor Mans Nsrve

which time it was used very successful,

and the US steamship Fulton on Wednesday.
we received flies Of New York papers to the 2,st,
our latest previous dates having been to the 9th.
We give on our fourth psge synopsis of the news
to the 20th including full particulars of the rebel
raid into Pennsylvania. The papers of the q st
have few additional items ofinterest. Gen. Keycs
is stated to have been within Is miles of Richmond
on the 18th. The rebel privateers are making
hold raids on our coasts. A fishing boat was
stopped by one and robbed Of fish and proyis-

The citizens of Harrison county Indiana, were
considerably scared on Friday week by the ap-
pearance of about one hundred of the Kentucky
rebel cavalry, who crossed the Ohio, had skir-
mish with the horse guard at Orleans, rerulscd
them, and moved on towards the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railroad. The militia from New Albany,
Ind, and Louisville, KY. followed in pursuit aud
succeeded in capturing fifty and killing twelve.
Gov. Morton's locum fenens issued call at once
for twenty thousand six months volunteers, the
Governor himself being in the city.
LATER.-The steamer Gen. Me,gs arrived here
yesterday. with mail from New York, and We
are indebted to Capt. G. W. Watson for New York
papers of the 22d. A two-dsys battle had been
fought at Winchester, between Gen. Milroy and
Gen. Ewell, which terminated in the disastrous
retreat of the Union forces to Martinsburg and
Harper Ferry, with only 900 men ont of 1000,
and the loss Of much artillery, stores and baggage.

Richmond papers report Mr.. Valandigham has

REVOLT AGAINST THE REBEL GOVERNMENT IN
CAROLINA AND TENNEssEE.-The Unionists in
Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina
have organized powerful forces, and are being
joined by thousands of deserters and conscripts
from the rebel army, to whom protection is guar
anteed, for tho purpose of holding the mountain
region against the rebel government. Rebel citi-
zens have petitioned Governor Vance for potection
against this organization. Vance replies that he
has No troops to send-they must protect them
selves. Twenty thousand insurgents have openly
offered to join the Union troops as soon as mill
tary post is established at Raleigh. A rebel CON-
mittee declares the permanent secession of North
Carolina and Virginia not to be expected. They
report Union forces in the possession of a belt
of country three hundred miles long by one hun
dred and fifty wide, with inland seas and rivers
filed with Union Gunboats, reaching through
North Carolina and Virginia, which prevents forti-
fcations being constructed. 1t is said that JEFF.
Davis is terribly enraged at this counter-rebelion
and threatens to lay all'North Carolina waste.

VESSELS AaRoUSD.-On Saturday the steamer
Ranger and schooner she had in tow, got aground
while trying to get over the bar at Stono. Witha
fresh wind, heavy sea, and the tide against
them, they drifted on the shoals and it was feared
they would 60 to pieces but at the next high
water the steamer Boston came out and towed them

Ranger got in over the bar at last and the schoon

South For long timewe have been cramped in
our efforts to supply the public demand for the
New South, by lack of proper accommodations.
We have now in process of erection, and which We
hope 10 have soon completed, large building on
a capacious lot, in front of our present Office of
publication, on line with the front Of the Port
Royal House. This will be occupied on the lower
floor as store, printing and publication Office, and
in the second story will be sleeping apartments.
The editorial room will be in a separate building,
and we shall thus have ample accommodations.

THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH.


We understand it has now been fully decided
that there will be no active operations in the De-
partment of the South this Summer. There are
not troops enough here for Gen. Gilmore to as
sumo the offensive, while there are many more
than will be necessary to defend the positions we
now hold. None Of these will be given up for the
present, but no effort will be made to extend our
lines materially. The surplus troops, aside from
the army of Defence will, it is understood be sent
to some other Department, where active operations
render al reinforcements acceptable. The De-
partment of the Gulf is most prominently spoken
of, in this connection but We can not learn that
this has positively been decided on as the desti-
nation of such troops as cen be spared. Several
regiments have already been called in from points
where they were not actually needed, and have
been concentrated at st. Helena Island, as con-
venient rendezvous, where they will remain until
the proper time arrives for their embarkation.
With Gen. Gillmore's well known activity and good
Judgment, no fears need be entertained as to the
safety of any of our positions, even with the pro-
posed great r,duction in the number of troops.
Folly Island will be retained for the present. and
sufficient force will remain there to render its cap
ture by the rebels impossible. The adoption Of
such policy will cause much regret, but the wis
dom of it, under existing circumstances, cannot be
questioned, and sens;blapeopls wiz eonrsescqui-
esee unmurmuringly in that disposition of troo. s
which will make them most useful to the Union
csuse. When more fitting time arrives, we hope
to see force here which will again enable us to
assume the offensive successfully. In the mean
time we feel all confidence in Gen. Gilmore, as
the commanding General Of this Department, and
have faith that all which can be done here will be
= done.
