YVES also brought rs proof.
Mr.. Dayton addressed n. de Lhuvs on the
subject who in turn communicated with The
Minister of the Marine. no on his part re-
piled that as Noruz and Arman had declared
that their new vessels were for Chinese W aters,
and as merchant ships in that part OF the Wotio
are usually armed-be could not refuse tnem
the permission to arm the vessels. He hoWeV-
er declared. he would ask the ship-ouliders
themselves about the matter.
He did So But VoruZ and Amman the Lairoe
and Denny of France-re-asserted that the ohips
were intended for China, and denied the exist
ence of the letters compromising them Iheir
proofs of innocence must, however, have been
very weak, for in October last the Minister OF
the Marine withdrew, both from Foruz ana
from Arman, the authorization Tor ar!ning tne
vessels, and M. de PHuys, in note to hlr.
Dayton announcing the fact dilates upon It as
q signal example of the discrimination of the
government of the Emperor to maintain strict
neutrality.
This was all very WELL but the case Of griav-
ance on our part is that, according to the Optn-
ion Rationale, the building and arming of the
iron clads was suspended only for month or
two; and the work, resumed long ago, has now
so far ad vanced that t,so Of the ressels are ready
as per contract to be delivered into the hands Of the

THE CAPTURE OF FORT PILLOW.

THE CAPTURE OF FORT pillow.
Elsewhere the reader will find the dispatches
OF the Associated Press from Cairo, received
since the last issue of the Star. They embrace
more details of the recent occurrences at Fort
Pillow. Columbus and Paducah.
Yesterday afternoon at about five o'clock
dispatches were received here from General
Pillow and the brutal conduct Of the rebels
Immediately afterwards, which bids fair to be
amply retaliated in that quarter in due time
According to General Sherman, our loss was
fifty white troops killed. one hundred wound.
ed, and three hundred black troops murdered
in cold blood after the surrender .-
Fort Pillow is an isolated post, OF no value
whatever to the defense of Columbus and
utterly untenable by the rebels, who have
doubtless skedaddled from that vicinity ere
this; having been disappointed, with consider
able loss, in the object of their raid thither,
which was the capture Of Columbus, whence
they were promptly and severely repulsed,
with no loss to us. We are satisfied that due
investigation will show that the loss Of Fort
Pillow was simply the result Of mistake Of q
local commander, who occupied it against
direct orders: contingency incident to all
wars.
The rebels, according to official dispatches
received here last evening, effected nothing at
Paducah, losing . soldier killed or wounded
for every horse they succeeded in stealing, and
doing us no other damage than by a few thefts.
It's believed that Forests raiders will next
appear in the vicinity Of Memphis, where they
can effect no more than at Columbus and Pa.
ducah, and stand very fair chance indeed OF
finding themselves surrounded by overwhelm-
ingly superior numbers. G.-
