Seven hundred contrahands had been brought

Passengers from Red River state that an
impression prevails that the rebels will do ali
in their power to avoid a general engagement,
though picket firing might bring 1t on. Our
army has not vet prepared for an ad vance,
which must eventually take place, and there

a QUARTER OF A MILLION OF EMIsR ANITA
The truth with regard to emigration, this wear,
has not been overstated The probability now
Is that the highest estimates that have been
made are much too low. Reports received a.
Castle Harden, from all parts Of Europe, indi-
cate 250,GO0 as not far from the number tha
may be looked for at this port, this year. II
this be true, 1864 will be the second most ne
markable year for emigration in the annals ol
our history. Not only villages, but whole
counties in Ireland and England, VIII ba
emptied of their able bodied industrial popu-
lations Within the last two months the ex-
citement on the subject has been intsnsi6ed by
the arrival of scores OF agents In Ireland an d
England from this country, sent ont to engage
factory hands, farmers, mechanics, and labor
ers Of every description at prices which mue /.
be irresistably tempting to the poorly .rsquited
peasants and drudges Of the old country. Tho
dissemination Of pamphlets and circulars, and
the publication Of articles from American
newspapers by Irish journals friendly to this
country, have also swelled the tide. Such is
the unprecedented demand for passages 70 this
country for the next two months, that we I'M
derstaud that the packet lines here are sellin z
no tickets for the hither voyage to be used be-
fore the LIST Of July next. It is pleasant 10 bs
able to state that the class Of emiGrants VIII 0
are coming ont are very superior, the majority
OF them being small farmers or mechanics. VINO
bring property with them, and are industrious,
frugal, sober people. s4.. -.f s"IerIE.1g.

who bad on retiring 70 bed left his gas let

be had just reason and strength enough left
to tumble out into the hall, where, when
found by Nc Huntoon, he was more than
half dead. During the morning, however,
he recovered and left, one would have sup
nosedt sufficiently warned Of the danger Of
carleasness in the future, in reference to this
matter Two weeks ago, Judge Crane start

which so nearly terminated his career years
