fend the especial interests of the Catholic
church only as they are emplied in the free

liberty OF the citizens. ave be-
lieve, therefore, that as loyal citizens it is not
only our right, but our duty, if we publish at
all, to make it real American Review, de-
voted to the common interests of American
civilization irrespective of the religious differ
ence that may obtain amongst Americans.
"Inpolitics our Review will be nei-

From Port Hudson.

New York. Jan. %.
The following extracts from private letters
received in this city, are of marked interest:
Port Hudson, Jan. II. The statement
published in the papers of the 22d of Decem-
Der, of the capture and imprisonment of Gen.
Ullman at Richmond, was a mere canard-
There is also no truth in the report that the
officers OF Gen. Ullmans command, who had
been taken prisoners by the rebels, had been
hung. Gen. Ullman long since received in
formation of the fate of his officers that had
fallen into the hands of the rebels except one,
who was probably shot, as he was last seen at
Jackson, Miss, endeavoring to escape from
squad of pursuing cavalry.
As to the Others some are in Libby prison
and the rest at Camp Ford, rebel depot for
prisoners four miles from Tyler, Smith county,
Texas. 1t is known latterly that their treat
ment has not differed essentially from that of
other prisoners. At first Allen and Page we're
put in irons, but they have been long ago re-
moved. Gen. Ullman constantly has rebel
prisoners in his hands, and those who know
him need no assurance that if any of his CON-
mand shall be treated by the rebels contrary
to the usages OF civilized warfare the retala-
ton will be sharp and quick.
LATEST.
Port Hudson, Jan. 13.-The rebels are con-
eentrating near this stronghold and Baton
Rouge. They are becoming quite enterpris-
ing. They push their pickets close TO the
Union lines. The rebel Gen. Adams has sew
eral brigades distributed at Woodylle, Clin-
ton and Jackson.
Gen. Ullman took quite number of prls-
oners to day. Most of them profess to be
sick of the war, and are glad to be TAKEN
They declare they never heard of the Presi-
dents proclamation OF amnesty.

Capture of a Rebel Mail Bag.

NEW YORK, Jan. "a.
The Heralds special dispatch, dated head
quarters West Virginia, Jan. oath, has the fol-
lowing:
"We have captured a rebel mail bag. The
secrets of the mail bag are curious and inter-
esting, and in one or two instances highly i'm
portant Almost all the letters contain re-
marks on the Presidents proclamation of am
nesty, the suffering anticipated in rebedom,
the dissatisfaction Of the citizens of the South,
complaints of the soldiers, the manner in which
rebel officers high in position are spoken OF,
etc. All serve, in veiy many respects, to con-
firm the reports in circulation in the Northern
papers regarding the condition of the Conled-
eracy. One lady in replying to another, says:
Your description of the President pains me l
had hoped for better things 1t is true we are
respondent but our hope for the future is still
strong This woman admits being heavy
property holder. Several prominent citizens
and rebel officers, one of them a widely known
ex-foreign minister. are negotiating to come
within our lines under the Presidents procla-
nation Of amnesty"

ARREST OF YoUNG enthusiastically af-
ternoon, 18th inst, the Park Street school
house was broken into, the clocks, desks and
states broken, and the school books mutlated,
defaced and scattered about the room. The
police haye been busy during the last week in
attempting to discover the offenders, but with
out success. Last Saturday afternoon one of
the female teachers in the school discovered a
lad named George st. John proving round
the entry Of the building. Suspeeting that
he might be one of the gang that committed
the outrage, she sent word to Deputy Marshal
Wentworth, who Immediately arrested the
lad. At first he denied all knowledge Of the
outrage committed but finally owned up that
he was concerned in it, and implicated his
brother, Richard St. John, and another lad
named Godfrey Harper. Both of these were
arrested and locked up. Harper is fifteen
years old, George twelve and Richard about
nine. 1t is reported that threats have been
made by some Of the boys to burn the school
house. Some matches were found Saturday
In the entry where George was seen. 1t is
qualification to state that neither of these lads
was a pupil Of the school.

CoMPLTMENrABY.-Th following notice
we clip from the Lynn Bay State, loyal De-
mocratic paper, whose editor Lewis Josslyn,
Esq. is one of the most popular Journalist in
Massachusetts. He has our thanks for kind
words and good opinion.
THE MAINE STATE PREss.-This excellent
paper comes to us enlarged to u quarto, and
with evident signs of growing patronage and
prosperity. We extend our congratulations and
our wishes that the future may be as the past
only more abundant. There is no question of
the enterprise and ability which has placed
this paper in SO short a time, in its present
position. The present year commences the
third volume, and its circulation is beyond
that of any other paper in the State.
Its doctrines are not at all times such as
we thoroughly approve, but its lofty tone of
patriotism, its calm and rational discussion,
and its steady support of the Government and
the war, secure for it careful attention and an
uniailing approval of its spirit and method.

statement Of Gentleman at Richmond.
NEW YORK, Jan. %.
The New York Times contains the trausla-
ton Of letter from Frenchman formerly i'm
the rebel army, dated Richmond, January IL,
to a friend here. He reports the arrival of
another agent of the French Emperor, named
Martinguy, via Nassau, and his mysterious
conferences with JEFF Davis. IT'S known, he
says, that JEFF has promised to recognize the
empire in Mexico, and promised France all
the advantages of the Southern Conlederacy.
il Napoleon would recognise and support the
Southern cause. All our principal men. he
says, think therefore, that war between France
and the United States is near at hand.
The writer has no doubt the plan of max
ing Gen. Lee dictator will be adopted as the
only means to counteract the strength of the
North. Lee has expressed his willingness to
accept it. Lee and JEFF Davis are ON bad
terms and the latter would have to retire.
Davis is very unpopular in consequence of
keeping Bragg so long in command. He has
ever thought since Bragg's dismissal, of Civ
ing him Bragg the command OF the army of
Virginia, and sending Lee TO Dalton, but had
to abandon his plan on account of the great
influence brought against it.
Johnston, who took command of Bragg's
demoralized army, thought of retreating to
Atlanta, but was kept at Alton by orders from
ihShhohusehAt hC ldht advantage Oh Tue
probable weakness of the Northern army by
furlough and the expiration of terms of SER
vice. JEFF Davis plan is TO keep the armies
on the offensive, though Gen. Lee gave his
opinion that, with the miserable condition of
the army in regard to clothing and provisions,
it was impossible TO do SO.
Gen. Early's expedition was miserable
failure, more than 1000 veterans returning
hors du combat, having their hands and feet
frozen.
The news from Charleston, the writer says
is discouraging. Beauregard has expressed
the opinion that he could not hold Charles
ton much longer, as Gen. Gilmore's guns
were in position to reduce it to ashes in a
few hours. Eight hundred men OF the North
Carolina regiments doing duty there, intended
to desert, but were prevented by one Of the
number giving information. Twenty of the
ringleaders were shot ON the 4th of January.
and the rest divided among other regiments.
The l4th Virginia regiment were ordered to
Alabama, but they refused to go and were dis
banded and used in filling up other regiments
which was the only plan to avoid mutiny.
Bread riots occur almost daily In the South
and the people are Disguised with the war.
John Morgan has been given the command
of Magruder's army.
The writer concludes by saying that the
days of the Southern Confederacy are mum.
bered and the backbone broken.
