Later from the North.
arrival of Farragut at New Orleans — capture of Yankee cavalry — from the Southwest--Grierson's raid — European affairs, &c.
[from our own Reporter]
‘ Admiral Farragut has arrived in New Orleans. Admiral Porter's fleet has captured Alexandria, La.
Two blockade runners arrived at Nassau on the 9th from Charleston, and eight cleared on the 9th for Southern ports.
A body of rebels captured at Charlestown, Va., on Friday night, a party of U. S. cavalry. Schenck sent out from Milroy's command to intercept them, and overtook them at Piedmont Station, recaptured them and 40 rebels.
The Herald thinks cavalry raids will be a most valuable arm of the service in suppressing the rebellion. The raids always excite alarm and terror among the people.
’ From the Southwest.--Grant at last accounts was awaiting reinforcements, which were coming to his support from various points along the Mississippi, from Member to Baton Rouge. Pemberton has drawn every available man from Mobile, Charleston and Savannah. Grant will prevent any possible concentration of troops to save Vicksburg. Grierson's raid has weakened Pemberton.
Now, the Herald says, is the time for another advance of Hooker's army; for another attack upon Charleston and Savannah; for a land reconnaissance around Mobile, and an advance by Burnside into East Tennessee, and for active work on the part of Rosecrans.
Gold 150; Exchange 165.
Col. Grierson's two cavalry regiments cut their way through the enemy's country, captured over 1,000 men and near 1,200 horses, and destroyed $4,000,000 in property, destroyed a camp of instruction, cutting the Great Northern and New Orleans and Jackson Railroad, destroying cars, telegraph wires, water tanks, and army stores, arriving at Baton Rouge on the 1st. Col. G. was received with great eclat at New Orleans. The movement occupied seventeen days, and the Herald says it is the most brilliant achievement of the war.
Lieutenant Colonel Davis, of the 12th Illinois cavalry, in his report of his share in Stoneman's raid, says: ‘"Between South Anna river and Gloucester Point he destroyed enemy's stores in wagons and railroad trains, bridges, roads, and depots, worth over a million dollars, fought rebel pickets, killed and captured two, and lost two commissioned officers and thirty- three privates."’
The rebel accounts of the landing at West Point are "significant admissions, and show not only the value, but necessity of gaining and keeping a foothold at West Point."
In front of Hooker's army the rebels are throwing up formidable earthworks to the left and rear of Fredericksburg — preparing to resist a second advance. The Pennsylvania militia, with the consent of Gov. Curtin, are to take the place of every available soldier around Washington, Baltimore, and the railroads of Virginia and Maryland, who are to be sent to Gen. Hooker.
The Herald's special correspondent, from the south side of Big Black, on the 3d, gives details of the capture of Port Gibson, and a fight at Thompson's Hill's; and says the rebels have been driven north of Big Black.
From Europe.
European dates to the 6th and 7th have been received:A public meeting of Trades' Unionists had adopted an address sympathizing with the North, and approving Lincoln's Emancipation policy. To the deputation presenting it Mr. Adams replied that in spite of all that has occurred, he trusted there was in each country a sufficient sense of responsibility to induce them to maintain friendly relations with each other. If the two peoples and Governments could speak together in the same frank and unreserved manner as you have spoken to me this evening, all fear of a collision would be at an end. [Hear, hear,] I can assure you, not withstanding some of the speeches and writings in America, there is no nation for which Americans entertain a greater regard than for England, and if the real sentiments of each can be clearly established I shall have no fear of collision. [Cheers]
The Times thinks Mr. Adams's speech reasonable and timely. Words need not lead to blows — neither wishes to go to war, and forbearance is wise. We must submit to certain interruptions in deference to the rights of a belligerent. The Americans must tolerate some short comings on our part, in consideration of the difficulties of a neutral. Not a single violation of neutrality would ever occur without regret of the Government and the deprecation of the public, but such offences cannot easily be prevented. The Times argues that England must put the most favorable construction on proceedings of Federal cruisers.
