ALBERT PIKE, the Arkansas poet, paia,

ALBERT PIKE, the Arkansas poet, paia,
ter and ex-rebel General, arrived on Tues
day last. at Indianapolis, on his way to
Washington to settle his Indian affairs
He says he went into the war reluctant
ly, having no doubt of the ultimate de
feat of the rebels, and is only surprised
that the catastrophe was deferred SO long
Being Southern man, he could not avoid
being drawn into it. Mr.. Pikeindignant
-ly denies having csu2tenanced the afro
cities with whics he is charged at Pea
Ridge, and is confident of his ability tc
excnlpate himself. He has lost nothing
of "Aesh or hair" since the rebellion, and
has evidently managed to secure his reg
ular rations, both solid and fluid, even il
times Of great scarcity.

Unauthorized Cotton Trade.
10000 Men ef Kirby Smiths Army
Paroled-skelby and Magruder In
Mexico-Unnuthorized Cotton Trade
Insulting Note from French On.
Ger.
Press Dispatch.l

New YORK, July 1.-The Heraid's cor
respondent from the Departments OF
Generals Sheridan aud Candy, says up to
the 2lst of June 10000 men of Kirby
Smiths rebel army had been paroled, and
80 pieces of artillery and 10000 stand OF
arms had been surrendered. OF the gen.
eral officers Of Smith army 16 or 1e have
been paroled including Buckner and old
Sterling Price, of Missouri. Generals
Shelby and Magruder have taken refuge
in Mexico, with their leader, Kirby
Smith.
The Mexican Imperialists Of Mata-
moras have recently been very much OK
cited over a report that there shortly
will be 10000 United States troops along
the Rio Grande, on the Texas side. A
feet of transports carrying the 4th army
corps, destined for the Rio Grande, pass
ed New Orleans on the 22d ult.
The captured correspondence between
the rebel Gen. Slaughter and the lmpe-
rialist Gen. Mejia, shows clearly that the
trade in cotton by the rebel government
was recognized by Maximilian and his
authorities; and that about S2,O00,000
worth of cotton was carried across the
Rio Grande to Mexico through the con-
nivance of the Mexican authorities, sub
seauent to the surrender of the rebel Gen.
Kirby Smith. If oficialinquiry proves the
correctness of this report, our Govern
ment will no doubt demand its restora-
ton. -.
Additional particulars Of the firing
upon two of General Mejia's officers by
our soldiers near Brownsville, Texas,
shows that previous to the firing the I'm.
perialists were challenged, but deigned
no reply. They reported the case to a
French officer, who sent the following
insulting note to General Brown:
MATAMoRAs, June ii, 1865
GENERAL-One of your soldiers, senti
mel above Brownsville, fred on two OF
nv officers when coming from Santa
Cruz. If you have no diplomatic char
acter, no letter of credentials now, L
therefore write to you simply rs private
individual, in order to express my utter
contempt for the wanton offence commit
ted by one of the men for whom you are
responsible.
ISigned] BARON DE BREAN,
Commander of the Detachment of the
Legion.
After waiting in vain for reply, the
officer, feeling bis dignity wounded, pub.
lished silly communications one OF
the Matamoras papers.

From the Mobile News of the stb.j


1t affords us pleasure to notice the ad-
vancing strides which trade is again TAX
ing in this city. The removal of military
restrictions imposed for the time b ing
on trade, and the unsealing of the port.
caused an immense influx of goods of all
descriptions; in fact, cargo met with
ready sale as soon as it landed. The city
trade alone offered the most tempting in
ducements to merchants. Day by day
new stores are being opened, and desir-
able stocks of goods are being thrown on
the market. The opening of the rivers
and the resumption of business by the
railroads has added much to. the trade Of
the city, but nothing as yet compared to
what it will be when boats land their
cargoes at the wharves of Mobile.

borrowed at the !, ate of II per cent. per
