AFFAIRs IN MIssIssIPPI.-A correspondent.
OF the Philadelphia Press, writing from East
port, Mississippi. under date OF February Sd,
says:
"Last night large number OF transports ar
rived. The whole number here now is about
twenty five or thirty. The troops are already
embarking, grain is being shipped and wagons
and mules Iaken on board. Everything indi-
Gates general move OF Thomas's whole army.
1tis supposed he is going down the Mssissip-
pI. This is the only way the army could pos
sibly make move 1--WE mean OH boats,) for the
roads are in the worst possible condition. The
weather, for the past two weeks, has been very
disagreeable and untavorable for the army.
First we had snow to the depth of two inches,
then rain on that, storming for four days to-
gether AT one time, and that when it was
very cold weather, the troops had nothing IN
the way OF bread but corn. This they boiled
and parched, and had nothing else for week.
Their hard tack finally arrived, and they are
now living very well. The health of the army
is regarded as very good. The extreme right
OF the army is at this point; the left wing at or
near Florence. Hood, at last accounts, was
moving south. His men were deserving by
hundreds"

colonization project has. IL is generally under
stood, fallen through, it is said, chiefly be-
cause he was inclined TO make sectional mat
ter of it. and urged il on the ground that he in
tended TO introduce colony Of Uonfederatss.
But as large private emigration is going into
Sonora from California, &c, the Government
very naturally thought it might lead to trouble
TO give an especial grant to a colony of Oou-
federates. The Emperor Macmillan is de-
termined to have nothing to do with SO dau-
gerous an element in his dominions.
