nity. --Dispatches of the 8th prove it is untrue that he beat Bowen on the 6th, or that Bowen repulsed him on the 4th. He states that Port Hudson is evacuated except by a small garrison and their heavy artillery. He will endeavor to cut the railroad between Vicksburg and Jackson, and a battle is expected in the vicinity of Big Black river bridge. A Jackson (Miss) dispatch, of the 11th, says Grant will probably advance east, and not direct to Vicksburg. Another dispatch, dated Vicksburg, May 11, says: "Nothing of importance to- day. A barge, laden with coal, ran past the batteries last night. The enemy's fleet above the city is increasing." From Tennessee.--Louisville, May 15.--Col. Jacob, in Sunday's fight with the rebels Clarke and Chenault, at Horseshoe Bottom Narrows, on the Cumberland, lost forty-two men, including three officers. Chenault and several other rebel officers and ninety-eight of their men were killed, and three taken prisoners. Col. J. H. Morgan, comm

Prison Record. --At Castle Thunder, on Saturday, there were twenty-eight arrivals. None of the parties were charged with any grave offences. Yesterday there were thirteen received at this prison, among whom were Michael Martin and W. R. Lucas, charged with giving information to the enemy, and H. C. Moore for forgery. The business at the "Libby" since our last report has been quite dull. Yesterday there was but one arrival, that of a prisoner captured at Fredericksburg in the late fights, and who, since the 11th of May, has been spending his captivity at the small-pox hospital.

of the Confederate steamer Florida, to his children in Fayetteville. It is dated Pernambuco, Brazil, May 12th, 1863. The following extracts are of general interest: I am very well, and very, very busy. Last night I saw a gentleman who ten days ago dined on board the Alabama with Eugene. He was then very well, and in high spirits, having just received letters from you all, at home, by an English bark. I feel happy to tell you that the Florida has been doing a fierce business. Up to May 11th she has destroyed $9,700,000 of Yankee commerce, and eluded thirteen Federal men-of-war sent to destroy her and the Alabama. The Florida and Alabama destroyed ten of the enemy's largest vessels April 22d, within sixty miles of each other, but up to May 13 have not met. Regards to Mr. Hale, and ask him please to mention, (as it may quiet much anxiety,) that up to this date all are well on both vessels. I cannot write what my plans are — the duty is very terrible upon one's mental and p

Richmond, with every prospect of reducing it at an early day; also, that Johnston had been defeated at Dalton, leaving his dead and wounded in the hands of Sherman. We have not heard from Dalton for some days, but we know that the order utters a falsehood when it claims that Butler has occupied Petersburg and invested Richmond. The courage of Grant's army, however, like that of the man in the play, is oozing out at their fingers' ends, and it requires to be stimulated. Wednesday, May 11th. Unbroken quiet has reigned to-day. The two armies still confront each other, lashing their sides and glaring upon each other like lions about to engage in mortal combat. A report prevailed in high quarters this afternoon that Grant was retiring in the direction of Fredericksburg and Germanna Ford, but it is probably without foundation. He is not the man to yield so easily. Some things that have come to my knowledge to-day satisfy me that he did not mean to offer battle yesterday,

M., he was informed by John J. Green that Capt. James B. Pleasants, of the night watch, and some of the watch men were playing cards on the Square; that he ordered Green to order them to stop; that shortly after Pleasants accosted officer Seal in the Square and asked him if he was going to present him before the Grand Jury, and on Seal's saying (Jocularly) "Yes," told h
