Later from the North.
Through the courtesy of Captain Philip Cash mayor we have received the New York Herald of Saturday last, the 14th inst. We make up a summary of the news it contains. In its "situation" article the Herald has the following:There are symptoms of a coming movement in Gen. Hooker's army. The transportation resources are bring cut down, and officers have been notified that all super baggage must be sent home.--The officers of the line are to be allowed nothing in the shape of camp equipage except shelter tents, which they can carry on their backs. This means an active and probably arduous campaign. The roads have dried up in that vicinity considerably within the past few days, and everything new looks favorable for a forward movement.
On the rebel side equally active preparations appear to be going on Charleston is awaiting calmly for an attack, and Gen. Beauregard has revoked all furloughs and recalled absentees to their posts.
A dispatch from Memphis reports a fight on the Yazoo river in which seven thousand prisoners and eight transports are said to have been captured. It was known at Washington that such a movement by our gunboats war in contemplation, with the intention of cutting off the supplies of the rebels, and therefore it is quite probable that a battle has taken place, although the particulars have not yet reached us.
There is nothing later from Vicksburg.
Rumors were rife in Cairo yesterday, and reached this city by telegraph, that Fort Donelson and Fort Henry had been captured by the rebels; but the reports are not credited. A gentleman who arrived in Cincinnati on Thursday from Savannah says that immense armies are massed in Tennessee--one to hold General Rosecrans in check while the other flanks him, enters Kentucky, and moves direct on Louisville and Cincinnati. They are only waiting for the rivers to fall and the roads to dry to commence operations.
General Granger's force, who went in pursuit of Van Dorn, returned to Franklin on Wednesday. --The rebels fled beyond Duck river, as we before reported. There were several cavalry skirmishes, and some three hundred ragged fellows were picked up in the pursuit.
Colonel Richardson and some four hundred of his rebel guerrillas were surrounded and captured at Cavington, Tenn., by a body of Union troops on Monday last.
The Chicago Times (copperhead) has a new sensation canard. One of its correspondents has manu factured a story to the effect that the Secessionists of Kentucky--twenty-five thousand strong — are on the point of rising, and, having been provided with cooked rations for two weeks, will soon be ready to march through the State.
The Memphis Bulletin nominates Governor Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, as a candidate for Vice-President in 1864.
The Union party in Ohio has called a State Convention, to be held in Columbus June 17th.
The stock market was dull and irregular yesterday morning, but rallied in the afternoon, and closed firmly at prices generally better than on "Thursday afternoon. Gold was very active, and fluctuated between 118 and 161, closing 159½ bill.--Exchange sold at 177@178, closing at about 178½ Money was easy; can loans were 5@3 per cent.
The vote in New Hampshire was very close. A dispatch from the Concord Statesman office gives returns from all the towns in New Hampshire except thirteen which gave last year 411 for Barry and 614 for Stark. Taking that vote for a basis, the majority in the State against the Democratic candidate for Governor is about 700.
For Congress, in the First District, Marcy, Democrat, has 50 to 75 majority Rollins Republican, in the Second District, has 30 majority. Paterson, Republican, in the Third District, has about 500 majority.
The Governor's Council stands--3 Republicans and 2 Democrats.
The Senate stands--9 Republicans 3 Democrats.
The House stands--43 to 50 Republican majority.
An important treaty has been concluded with the Chippewa Indians, a delegation of whom have been in Washington city, drinking firewater and talking with their great father. The treaty stipulates that they shall sell out their present reservation and be removed to a reservation beyond any danger of collision with the whites. The Government agrees to settle the claims of Indian traders for depredations committed on their property by this tribe, amounting to some $30,000, to pay their back annuities, and to give them certain presents. Their annuities are also increased, owing to the high prices of living. The tribe is at present located in the neighborhood of swamps more difficult of access than the everglades of Florida, and from which it would be almost impossible to drive them. They are now in a position to annoy the whites in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the Government was extremely anxious to induce them to remove peaceably.
There is much excitement in regard to the reconsideration of the appointment of Andrew Wylle, of Alexandria, one of the Judges of the District Court. The reason alleged for reconsidering the confirmation is that Mr. Wylle had threatened to chastise one of the Senators--Mr. Trumbull, of Illinois--for impugning his loyalty on the floor of the Senate.
The Herald Says:
‘ Gold was rather active to-day, partly on the news from the West and partly on reports of legislation in Albany. It opened at 161 rose to 161½ declined steadily to 158¼ rallied to 160 sold at 159 and 160 in the afternoon and closed at 153⅞ bid. Exchange sold this morning at 177½ and was afterwards rather irregular, in consequence of the fluctuations in gold.
