The Houston papers Of the 10th and ~
have large number of dispatches, some OF
which we publish below. Among the dis
patches we find one from Mr.. Stanton, Yam
kee Sec. of War, stating, on the authority
of deserters who had reached Gen. Grants
army, that Gen. Early, with nearly his en-
tire force of $4,000 men, had been captured
at Charlottesville, by Gen. Sheridan. We
believe the story to be false, and don't give
tledispatches. We also omit the dispatches
from the News of u great battle, at Char
lotte. and the death Of Sherman s. Beaure-
gard. Subsequent dispatches do not con-
firm the rsport,--on the contrary, the latest
dates say nothing OF the fight. Gen. john
son has assumed command of the army con-
fronting Sherman, and battle isimminent.
The Inaugural address of Mr.. Lincoln,
which appears among the dispatches, is 50
garbeled, says the Telegraph, as to be
scarcely Ineligible. We do not publish ii,
having better matter TO fill our paper with.

road.
New York, March 3d.-The Richmond
Examiner of the 2Sth says: IL is not i'm
proper to state that only "A small portion oi
| Columbia has been destroyed by fire. The
Times Washington special says, Richmond
papers of Tuesday indicate that Sherman is
making towards Raleigh having Johnston
force in his rear.
BALTIMORE, March 3d.-The Richmond
Sentinel of Wednesday the lst, says, news
from the South looks favorable, and we hope
soon to crafty the public with pleasing in
telligence from that quarter. 1t also says
heavy rains and the consequent muddy con-
dillon of the roads near Petersburg prevent
active onerotion at present. ME-.
SHREvEPoRT, March 10Th, 1885.
From the Jackson, Mississippi Daily
News, March Cd: The New York Herald
gives full credit TO the report that the Con-
federacy is the owner of two Of the mosi
formidable steamers, and that it is 'hei'
intention to attack New York city. The
draft in the North is indefinitely postponed
A New York telegram says French papers
confirm the report that the steamer A indie
recently of the coast of France, is Con-
federate cruiser. Large number Of cases
aud barrels transferred to her from Eng
/ lish steamers.
A Yankee fleet composed of vessels re-
lieved from duty by the recent movement
is being prepared in Washington for cruis
ing in European waters. Parties going
from Nashville TO Louisville required tc
have papers. Twelve St. Alban raiders
were delivered to the U. S. Marshall, MUIR
ray, to be taken TO New York for trial
Distrust Of greenbacks and dissatisiac'
tion at receiving them is very apparent IL
the North. The whole fabric of paper cur
rency is considered doubtful. Stanton de
clares that the captured cotton az Savannah
whether from British or any other subjects
is lawful prize. 1t is asserted by CORES
pondenis that the European powers viii
recognize the Confederacy on the 4th o
March. Prisoners are 10 be exchanged, in
cluding negro troops. Flag Of truce boat
are running rerularly between Annapolis
and Aiken's Landing, James river.
Strong efforts are being made TO prevent
Missourians from being treated as crimi
mails, and force them to be recognized al
prisoners Of war. Since II is certain tha
negroes will be used as soldiers in the Con
federate army, il is proposed that they b,
equipped from the half million Of second
hand suits now in the bureau at Richmond
The Columbus Miss. Republican says Gen
Forrest was ia that city on the Tuesday
