The Yankee papers profess to have diacov-
conspiracy to .assassihate Gems. RosEcnASz,
-McNEl1. and other officials at St. Louis. Sew
eral arrests have been made. including. two
clerks in the British Consurs office.
FROM HooD's ARMY.-A gentleman who
arrived in Augusta Thursday afternoon, from
Macon, states that an official despatch has bean
received there from Gen. Hoop, saying he had
engaged the enemy in the neighborhood of
Nashville, gaining a victory and capturing
5000 prisoners.
The Russian Government encourages mar
riage among its soldiers provides the couple
with house, supports them, ,rears their chill
dren, but takes away all the. boys at tender
age and sends them.to military garrisons, there
to be. trained for the army. There are 30o,-

yTnE> ARMY OF TENNEssEE.-We have en-.
eouragiug reports from this army. Equip.
meuts for recruits are being sent forward every
day, and HOOP force is already large enough

fayorables The, impression prevails with well
Informed parties connected with the army, that
