Nnw iohk, june 10.
A call issued here for Union Conser.
vative Convention, at Chicago the 4th
OF July Is signed by r. +. Stevens, Sec.
The Worlds Mexican correspondence
relates rom personal observation most
horrible outrages by French troops on
the march andi in several places captured
by them. BY order of Gen. Douay.
Tulla was burned, the male inhabitants
butchered, all women and girls raped in
open day, and the place given up to
beastly soldiers for three days.
The same outrages were repeated at
Guadalajara. Tabasco after forty seven
days siege had been taken by the Liber-
ais with the French garrison and all the
artillery. Bazin has ordered his army
from the City Of Mexico to retake Ia
basco.
The Worlds Washington special l4th,
says: 1t is rumored Sheridan has reach
ed Gordonsville on the way to join Hun
terand destroy the Richmond and Lynch
burg railroad. 1t is understood he will
visit Charlottesville Immediately and do
all possible damage. He has strong
cavalry and artillery force, able to cope
with any force he may meet.
Hunters mission is not only to cap
ture Charlottesville and Lynchburg,
but to destroy thoroughly the railroad
connecting with .Gordonsyille. With
Sheridan's assistance, he may penetrate
to Danville, Richmond is entirely sup
piled on these roads. The effect of the
blow inflicted by their destruction can
be imagined.

AocIDENTs-0n the 4th instant Capt.
Aaron c. Robinson of Newfane, while
riding out, in attempting TO turn in a
narrow place in the road, was precipi-
tated with his horse and buggy down an
embankment, some thirty or forty feet
and instantly killed.
Wyman Bridge in the employ of Par
menter & Powers, at Chester, had the
thumb and fore finger of his left hand
caught in circular saw on Tuesday
last, and so injured that both had to be
amputated.
The Vergennes Vermonter says On
Friday last, as Mr.. Stephen Burroughs
of Waltham, was arranging a plank two
inches thick, to roll bales of hay ON, so
as to weigh them, the hands engaged on
the scaffold above, in rolling the bales,
misunderstood the order to hold on, ;"
for "roll on, and let bale fall so as to
strike Mr.. Burroughs on the head, driv-
ing it against the plank, breaking the
plank, and very seriously injuring his
head and face above the eyes.
The St Adams Messenger of the 10th
inst. says: ....
"a party, consisting of Noble Buck,
and Andrew Buck, of North Fairfax land
their wives, and Rev. F. w. Smith, went
over to the Island day or two since, to
attend the funeral of DR.. Haynes. They
started on their return at about P. NJ.
yesterday, and, when last seen, were
drifting without sails or oars, just at
dark. There is great fear as to their
safety. The wind was very high, and in
their apparently helpless condition they
were in great danger, and nothing hav-
ing been heard from them up to this
hour, their case has created great appre-
hension.

FOREIGN EFFECTS OF OUR Wharf.-The
colossal character of the campaign in
Virginia. and the terrible energy of the
combatants, are evidently making a
deep impression on the public mind OF
Europe The Paris correspondent of
the New York Journal of Commerce
says that the news of the battles have
produced there "a sort of lull Of stupor
and establishment" and he adds:
"Such deeds of arms, men say, have
never before been even read of in ro-
nance, much less realized in action
Have giants broken loose, they ask, who
thus fight battles, not Of days, but OF
weeks, and pile up slaughter in face Of
which the bloodiest conflicts of Europe
seem pale and unsanguinary 2"

From New Orleans.

NEW YORK, June II.
The steamer Daniel Webster from New
Orleans the 9th, arrived to-day. Nothing
important. The passage of several
steamers by the rebel batteries at Column
bia is reported including the Brilliant
and Mississippi which reached New
Orleans. They were conveyed past the
batteries by the gunboats. The latter
were repeatedly struck. but not much
injured.
The Capt. of the gunhoat Exchange
was seriously but not mortally wound
ed.
1t seems that Marmadukes main force
is at Bayou Macon, with Shelby and
Cabell at Columbia.
Gen. Candy had despatched large.
force to drive off the rebels.

DRAWING AN ENEMY's FIRE.-A cores
pondent OF the Philadelphia Enquirer
writing from Gen. "Baldy" Smiths head
quarters, says:
A few days ago our men were much
annoyed by rebel sharpshooter, con-
cealed in the brushwood. After he had
wounded several of our men, various at
tempts were made to get a shot at him,
without effect. At last the gallant old
Colonel hit upon the following inge-
NOUS, though rather dangerous expert
ment, OF enticing the rebel out of his
cOncealment.
"Boys," says he, coolly, 'look out
where the smoke comes from, for as soon
as the Southern traitor sees me he will
let fly
Getting deliberately from the rifle pit
where he had been watching operations,
the Colonel walked a few PAGES, and
calmly seated himself upon stump.
Scarcely had he done so before bang
went the rifle, and a Minnie ball flew
past, in too close proximity to be agree
able; but ere the smoke had cleared
away, half-a-dozen bullets had penetrat-
ed the spot where the rebel lay, and in a
few moments after, his body, reeking
with gore, was dragged from its hiding
place, having received not less than
three bullets through it.
On seeing the body, the Colonel ex-
claimed, There, boys, did not tell you
could draw his fire."

IMPORTANT FROM MEMPHIS
MEMPHIS, June Is,

VIA tAiRO l4In.
The expedition of Gen. Sturgis, which
left Memphis, June LIST, is coming in
We learn from an officer that they met q
large force of the rebels at Guntown,
said to consist of 10000 infantry and
cavalry, under command of Gems. For
rest, Lee and Roddy This large force
attacked them suddenly and most des-
perate fight ensued, resulting in the de-
feat of Sturgis with the loss of his wag-
on train and ammunition.
The last was a most severe loss, as
Sturgis had run out of ammunition and
was obliged to destroy and abandon his
artillery. Many of his infantry were
captured, but the exact number is not
known. Gen. Sturgis' forces consisted
of 1900 cavalry and 5000 infantry. The
large rebel force which attacked him is
supposed to have been en- route to Sher-
mans rear, to interfere with his commu-
nications.

Missouri AND FREMoNT.-The center
Of strength Of the Fremont movement
has been supposed to lie in Missouri.
Its circumference, too, has not been re-
garded as extending much beyond that
state. missouri made the nominations at
Cleveland in spite of the protests of the
members of the Convention from other
states. In fact it was in spirit and re-
suit little more than convention of
Missouri mal-contents held in city of
Ohio. Now, since the admission of the
Missouri radical delegation to the Balti-
more Convention by an almost unani-
nous vote, Fremont stock has expert
enced sudden collapse in the political
market even of the state in question.
The state organ of the radicals, the Mis-
souri, Democrat, it is said, comes out un-
and warmly in support of
Lincoln and Johnson, and prominent
radicals OF Missouri who have been Ere
mont's friends and supporters, say that
the Union ticket is sure to triumph in
that state, that Fremont has alienated
his friends and destroyed himself. The
animus and tendency of the Cleveland
movement are too transparent to deceive
any one who has on impulse of patriot
ism or even disinterestedness.

THE OCEAN QUEEN.-The difficulty on
board theCalifornia steamerOc eanQueen,
reported by one of the passengers to be
an attempt Of secessionists to get pos
session of the vessel, seems to have been
in reality mutiny of seamen on board,
who had been transferred from the army
to the navy. Two of the mutineers were
killed in the ARRAY, and the rest were
placed in irons.

within twelve hours; and there were
six bodies of those who had died on
board the transport that brought them
up here and the cause Of their death
was extreme debility, the result OF
stavation and exposure" When we add
that by general testimony the prisoners
are treated better at Dalton, Columbia
and elsewhere, than in and near Rich
mond, and that only under the eyes of
the rebel chiefs are the jailors persistent
" cruel and barbarous, rhe reader will
understand that it Is not chance which
causes this suffering"
The atrocities of the Fort Pillow mas
sacre are presented in the report in a
permanent form, but it is hardly neces-
sary to refer to 1t for confirmation of
what has already been published. We
have confirmation from the rebels them
selves. The only defense of the Fort
Pillow massacre Is that our men were
killed because they did not surrender
which is contradicted by full and un-
doubted testimony. The way in which
they state the facts sdisproyes it. One
of Forests soldiers writing to the At
lanta Appeal, says:
"The sight was terrifc--the slaughter
sickening. Wearied with the slow pro-
cess of shooting with their guns, our
troops commenced with their repeaters,
and every fire brought down foe; and
so close was the fight that the dead
4 f.,n hA
that killed. Still the enemy would not
| or knew not how to surrender. The
federal flag, that hated emblem of tyr
amy, was still proudly waving over the
scene. Others rushed to the passage be-
| tween the fort and the river for the pur-
pose of passing down the river toward
Memphis; but the troops stationed here
by Gen. Forrest to guard this very con-
tingency opened fire upon them, and the
enemy then rushed upon a coal barge
and endeavored to push IL off; but con-
centrated fire from our whole column
soon put an end to this experiment.
Several hundred were shot in this boat
and in Coldwater, while endeayoflng to
escape. The number in the water was
so great that they resembled drove OF
hogs swimming across the stream. hnr
not a man escaped in this way. Tie
head above the water was beautiful
mark for the trusty rife OF our unerring
marksmen. The Mississippi river was
crimsoned with the red blood of the
flying foe. Our soldiers grew sick and
weary in the work of slaughter, and
were glad when the work was DONE"
Yet the rebel Senate, we are informed,
has requested JEFF Davis "to make an
exposition through commissioners
abroad to the various European powers
| of the violations of the rules Of civil
lied warfare and atrocities committed
by the government and armies of the
United States in the prosecution of hos
Titles" Men, who applaud the massa-
ores of Lawrence and Fort Pillow COM
mitted by their troops, and who delibe-
rately attempt to starve to death thou
sands of our soldiers who have fallen
into their hands as prisoners of war,
propose to make an exposition of the
violations Of the rules of civilized war
fare by the United States authorities
Language is utterly powerless to do
justice to such hypocrisy and beastly
cruelty combined. The patience Of the
very patient loyal people will surely
sometime be exhausted. .
