A dispatch dated New York, June 2ith,
says:
'rhe steamer Eagle has arrived from
Havana with adyiccs to the 20h via Porto
Rico tnat the pirate Alabama was at Santa
/ Cruz, and that the United States steamer
Vanderbilt had gone TO attack her. Heavy
| firing had been heard in the direction of
! Santa Cruz, but nothing was known about
| it.-Some inferred that the Alabama had
been captured, and others that the Wander
bilt had been destroyed
The English mail steamer Trent from st.
| Thomas, would he due at Havana on the

SHREVEPORT, August 7th 1863.
! DEAR NEws-Two of our most respecta-
bic fellow citizens, Capt, VIM. II. Dashicl
and Mr.. n. S. MOGlure, who were at ViCks
burg during the entire siege, reached home
on Yesterday Capt. d. remained in Ntcks
burg, after its captulation, as aid TO Gen.
| Smith, who was left within the lines, it
will be remembered, to attend to the parole
and exchange of prisoners. Capt. d., in
company with two or three others, left
! Vicksburg on the evening o. the 2Sth ult.
Mr.. Mcclure brings Mobile papers Of the
| 23d ND to Enterprise, which placcfie left on
the evening Of the oath. The information
furnished by these gen tlemen may be relied
upon ne striGtly truo.
They state that the enemy have sent away
-above and be ow--the larger poriiln OF
their orces, and that the remaining num-
her are COLLECTED within the fnrtifcations OF
| Vicksburg, having evacuated Jackson and
all other intermediate points. Our army.
under Gen. llardee, are at place called
| Chunky. some six miles east of Brandon
Gen. Johnston has assumed personal com
mand of our forces at Chattanooga. Nc
military movements of note are reported tc
have taken place at thai point. II ic thought
that the sLaa.y have an intention to attack
Mobile, and that our forces at Chunkey vii
not move until the enemys movements are
definitely ascertained.
Capt. Dashel says that at Monroe on the
ith lie met a1 intelligent gentleman, but {
day or two before from Natchez, who hGo
there read Chicago Times of the 18th ult
which gave an account of the recognition
of the Confederate States by England
France and Spain. Capt. ID. is n man q
too much honor to utter what was untrue
the truth Of this then depends entirely upoI
the veracity of his Informant.
