A Candid Witness. --A correspondent of the Milwaukie News, writing from Arkansas, gives some very strong testimony as to the influence and results of Yankee meddling and effects on the condition and prospects of the negro. Writing from Helena, Ark., he says: With no one to care for them, without food, clothes, or medicines, they sicken and die here by the hundreds — freed at last. Back of Gen. Washburn's headquarters, but a short distance, is a peach orchard, the little groves in rows so close that one can hardly step between them. Here, about two feet under ground, are over a thousand dead negroes, and day after day others who have starved to death are being added to the nameless list. And there are a dozen negro graveyards in Helena, each being rapidly filled with negroes, who were once happy and contented, in health and cared for, of use to themselves and the world.

Latest from the North. The Baltimore Gazette, of the 14th instant, has been received. It contains very little of interest. A telegram from Washington states that a considerable body of Confederates shelled Gen. Kilpatrick's camp, near Stevensburg, on Thursday last, from which fact it is argued that at least some rebels remained on the north side of the Rapidan. The New Orleans Era, of the 4th, states that the Confederates attacked Washburn's advance on the 3d inst, driving it towards the main body. The Confederates were soon checked, it is said, and in turn were driven back, with the loss of 200 prisoners. The Federal loss was forty killed. The New Orleans correspondent of the New York Express says that the Federal forces had fallen back to New Iberia. Gold in New York at the second board on Friday was quoted at 147 3-8--an advance.

resolution offered yesterday, by unanimous consent, by Mr. Cox, (Opp.) of Ohio, and laid over under the rule. The resolution is as follows: Resolved, That the President of United States be respectfully and urgently requested to take immediate steps for the exchange of such of our prisoners as are now confined in the prisons of the South; and that he be requested to communicate to this body all the correspondence in the War Department in reference to the exchange of prisoners. Mr. Washburn, (Rep.,) of Ill., submitted a substitute, namely: That this House approve of the constant statesmanlike and humane-efforts of the Administration to secure an exchange of our prisoners now in the hands of the rebels. This substitute to Mr. Cox's resolution was agreed to by 94 to 73, and the resolution as thus amended was passed — yeas 106, nays 46. Miscellaneous. The news from the army of the Potomac indicates that Gen. Pleasanton will be appointed in place of Meade.

eir masters, for Beauregard and Jeff. Davis, saying that their expectations of Abe Lincoln had not been realized." This is significant enough. The negroes, almost every one knows, generally hatch their "sedition" at religious meetings. The Picayune has the following item of news from the Yankee army on the coast of Texas: We learn from the Era, of this morning, that passengers on the steamer Clinton, which arrived yesterday from Passo Cavallo, Matagorda Bay, report that Gen. Washburn, with a considerable force, was moving for Indianola and Lavaca He expected to move from there to San Antonio and to make that place the chief point of concentration against the forces of Gen. Magruder. There is nothing of special interest in the business reports of the papers. The following is from the Picayune, of the 18th ult.: With very fine weather to day, there was apparently considerable activity; that is, for the low stocks and supplies of our chief staples, sugar and

Proposed Removal of the Washington Capital. --We find the following proceedings of the Yankee Congress last week: Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, (Union,) asked leave to introduce a resolution instructing the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds to examine and report a bill setting apart the old Hall of Representatives for a gallery of statuary. Mr. Washburn, of Maine, (Union,) objected saying that he intended to introduce a bill at the earliest moment for removing the seat of Government from this barren and isolated country. --[Laughter] The House was called. No quorum — only eighty-six members being present — the House adjourned

bbub, Washburns is seen pushing his way down, till he can catch the eye of the Speaker. He is accustomed to being beard when he speaks; and his bull dog way generally wins in a contest of this kind. There's a good deal of swagger in it; but he never allows himself to be cowed. "I demand that the language of the gentleman from Maryland be taken down at the clerk's desk, in accordance with the rule." "Too late, order, go on, never mind, go ahead," came up from the Democratic side. But Washburn holds the floor, and the shouting of the whole rebel army lasted of this little detachment, wouldn't mage his little sturdily demands the reading of the rate. The Chair rules that the point is well taken; the words of the Marylander are reported from the clerk's desk: "The South ask you to leave them in peace; but no, you any you will bring them into subjection.--That is not done yet, and God. Almighty grant that it never may be. I hope you will sever subjugate the South." Harr

A New Order of Affairs at Memphis. --Gen C C Washburn, the new commander at Memphis, has issued the annexed order: The practical operation of commercial inter course from this city with the States in rebellion has been to help largely to feed, clothe, arm and equip our enemies. Memphis has been of more value to the Southern Confederacy since it fell into Federal hands than Nassau. To take cotton belonging to the rebel Government to Nassau, or any other foreign port, is a hazardous proceeding. To take it to Memphis and to convert it into supplies and greenbacks, and to return to the lines of the enemy, or place the proceeds to the credit of the rebel Government in Europe, without passing again into rebel lines, is safe and easy. I have undoubled evidence that large amounts of cotton have been and are being brought here to be sold, belonging to the rebel Government. The past and present system of trade has given strength to the rebel army, while it has demoralized a

derates has been expected, and preparations made to meet it, but no demonstration of the kind took place. We are informed that Gen. Crook succeeded in overtaking the raiders near Snicker's Gap, that an engagement ensued; that the Confederates "fought like devils;" but that they were finally defeated, leaving three hundred wagons in the hands of Gen. Crook, and also their dead. We have no confirmation of this story from Washington. Major Gen. A. J. Smith has sent a dispatch to Gen. Washburn, in command at Memphis, stating that he encountered the combined forces of S. D. Lee, Forrest and Walker, at Tupelo, and having whipped them badly in three several engagements, was then on his return to Memphis, bringing back everything in good order. It was previously reported that Smith's force was sent from Memphis to co-operate with Sherman. Gen. Hunter has asked to be relieved from his command of the Department of Western Virginia, in consequence of his troops having been tran

From Atlanta. Atlanta, August 23. --A dispatch from Jonesboro'states that a Federal raiding party in heavy force has appeared at Fayetteville. A dispatch from General Maury, at Mobile, confirms the capture of Memphis by Forrest; Washburn and staff were captured with the city. Dixon bridge, on Flint river, near Fayetteville, was burnt this morning. Scouts report that another Federal raid, 1,000 strong, with nine pieces of artillery, started from Decatur early this morning in the direction of Covington. A letter from an officer at Greeneville, East Tennessee, says that John Morgan left that point for Knoxville. Trains are running regularly from Bristol to Greeneville. The situation around Atlanta is unchanged. The enemy shelled the city at intervals all night. All quiet this morning, except occasional picket skirmishing. A lady was killed near the Express office last evening by a shell, and a soldier lost a leg. [Second Dispatch.] Atlanta, August 24.
