A (jkeat Victory.— We are tunght by e.\pt'rience
to receive with caution accounts of Confederate vic-
torie.s, but there can be no tioubt that our Trans-
Misi^issippi army under (xen. Kirby Smith Ua.s gain
ed a great victory. The accounts are not oQScial,
und are doubtless exag’gerat-ed on our side; but tbe
ailmi«iou3 of the yankee papers show that they have
been very eBectually punished. A' deleat that com
pelled the return of Bauks’s expedition, from which
they confidently anticipated most important results,
and the abandonment of that section of Louisiana,
cannot be a email aflair, though the yankee loss may
not be a.** much as 14,000. We leajn from an ofEcer
who left Shreveport a few days before the battle, that,
vien. Smith had 14,000 men^ and .5,0W more wefe to
join liim before the enemy coiUd arrive. His posi
tion was vefy strong, and his only fear was that the
yauftee General would have that better part of valor,
disi retion, and decline to attack him. A real mili
tary man might have done so, but a mere party poli
tician like Banks had not so much sense.
The effect in New York of the news of this disas
ter was to force gold up 9 per cent—from 169 to 178.
fhe papers are reminded, very naturally, of “the
liand-writiug on the wall ’—of the fate of Belshazzar
and hi' kingdom. The yankee heart was lifted up,
and his mind hardened ip pride; therefore “God hath
numbered thy kingdom and finished it. Thou art
weighed in the balances and found wanting. Thy
k nigJuiTi is ditided.”
Anotl»er blow in Virginia or Georgia, or both, will
uring things nigh to the eud. And Ibis we coafi-
ifrntly expect. God grant that if may thoroughly
tjumble the pride of the yankees, b*mg them to their
lenses, and induce them to cease this war upon us.
The past week brought accounts of other success
es. less inrporfant than the above, but no account ot
auv reverse.
A\ ExPLoniD Yanxke Hcmbug.—Some months
ago the Lincoln government induced 666 negroes to
emigrate to Hayti. They went off froxn Alexandria
iu tfuue 1862 and from Fortress Monroe in the Spring
ol 1863, the yankees indicatiug by the fosa made over
them thakthey were deUghted with this mode of get
ting rid of the elephant that they had bought—or
rather stolen. Well, the remains of the colony have
returned to Alexandria—407, all that are left alive
out ol 566;—169 having died within a year Xp 20
months.
Instead of progressing in wealth and happiness,
which the yankees proroised themselv?s and the de-
lixded creatures, they have returned, even according
LATEST MAIL AND TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
'Pi om the The Richmi jd papers bring u.s
more iu detail this morning the Northern news of
which a synopsis is published in the preceding page.
We annex such items as are of interest.
Gold in New York.—The Herald of the 11th has
the following account of a yankee trick attemjrted by
the Treasury Department:—
The Gold QueUe.—Assistant Treasure’ Cisco is
selling gold- certificates, receivable at the Custom
house for dues, at 165, when the speculators’ prices
for gold are 169. Consequently our merchants de

every day at the Assistant Treasurer’s office.
But

Ths Feku-no of ihs North.—The New York
News sajra that the peace party of the North “has
ucreased, and is increasing rapidly. ’ It iti com
posed of men who believe in the i^ght of sece.ssion,
but muth more ©f those who believe»in the right of
revolution and that the South ha'^ been driven to
'hat remedy for wrongs aud insults. Others are op
posed to wars; others to the load of debt yhich the
war is accumulating. The“chief cause, however, of
the present accessions to the party is the conviction
of the hopelessness of further efforts to couquer the
South, or to restore the Union.
The New York Daily Times (as we tind quoted in
t&e Richmond Examiner of the 12rh,) urges the bring
ing of the war to an eni, says it is "a war of conquest
and extermmation, shaming the days of the Huns
and the Visigoths.” It complains that the Lincoln
administration is perpetually exercisiinf military and
Iwrcible control over the ballot-Wo«; that every day
outrages are perpetrated by'*t>ldiers upon petK-efnl
citizens for opinions’ sake—some meeting dispersed
or press destroyed; that the mountain of debt will
frrilsh them; that Mr, Chase has mortgaged ev^ry,
acre of land in the whole North; that the cost of the
accessaries of life is becoming frightful to the poor,
whilst the superabundance of paper money is stimu
lating extravagance and speculation to the maddest
recklessness; that every element of demoralization is
at work to corrupt the people. And the Times
winds up with a disgusting account of the state of
public aud private virtue, integrity, and even chasti
ty, of the truth of which, it sayi, wiy man may con
vince him.self by a brief ohservation in New York or
Washington.
Sucli is the picture presented by a leading paper
which has never been friendly to the South. Thing!^'
must bp in a critical state indeed when the Times
gives up the cause, despairs of conquest, and thinks
that the North is ih a worse condition than the South.
A few more Shreveport victories will do the work—
*»ill make such doctrines as these of the News and
i imes well nigh universal. We hope it will be Lee's
turn ne.Tt—the great and good Lee—to add to the
large and growing party whicR coincides with these
papers in the demand for peace.
Th« Extra Sta.vdard.—We are desirou.« to sec
the half shed Slandard ot ilie date HtU A.|>va,
the Raleigh Confederate day^ was issued about
the same time in March with a whole sheet Stand
ard of the same date. Aa we have continued to send
the Observer to the Standard since its suspension, in
accordance with its request, we think we were enti
tled to receive from that office direct all its issues.
Whether of whole or half sh«ets. But the Standard
having thought otherwise, and withheld from us fts
half sheet issue, forces the inference that there is
some motive for concealment, such as that suggested
by the Confederate, viz: that the half sheet was in
tended for the array, to which it is said to have licen
tent, and the whole sheet for the people of the State
—the whole slieet having matter in it that would be
oBensive to the army. The inference ia natm|,l and
reasonable. VVe wish to compare the two papers to
^ee how far it is sustained by the matter of ^at:h. In
this town we do-not hear of a single copy of the half
?b®et edition. "Will some one send us one?
It is reported that the mails have been burtiened
with packages of tbe whole sheet, sent, not singly to
sabacribers, but in packages to individuals in various
parts of the State. The Confederate says that the
Ealf sheets sent tu the army were Ibrwarded in box
es, along with Revisions, Ac.

Ex'ha.\gkItems.—We fear that the yankees are,
playing off another trick on the Confederate govern
ment. It will be remembered that .several months |
ago they were in the habit of sending their tlag of
truce steamers to City Point aud carrying off their j
men, who'were delivered to them under a promise
that on the next trip they would return a like num-1

Red River Expedition.—'I’he Herald of the
11th copies from the New Orhians Era reports by
passengers from Alexandria of a great battle on the
28th on Cane River, 35 miles above Alexandria, in
which Dick 'I’aylor’s army of 12,000 had been routed
and demoralized, losing HOO killed and over iiflO priu-
oners. Yankee los.s 18 killed, 60 wounded. Shreve
port was reported in yankee possession.
The Baltimore Gazette of the 12th locates the bat
tle on the 1st inst. and gives the victory^o the reb
els, the heavy losses to the yankees—so heavy that
they were compelled to fall back upon Alexandria,
to yield the.ricn regions of the Teche and Lafourche
to the rebels, and probably to abandon the whole
expedition. This version is given by the N. O. cor-

been enough. But we see that two yankee steamers
are again at City Point, waiting for loads of yankee
