GENERAL, HALLECK WAS DIS
APPOINTED.
A Yantcfe' correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune, speaking of the evacuation of Corinth by
Beauregaid, shows that the Yankees were not
oly disappointed but injored by the successful
withdrawal of the Confederate army. He fays:
On our side there was as complete a surprise as
a previous occasion at the battle of bin lob.
trouble about it.
JHThe hanging o" Wm. 15. Mum ford, in New
Orleans," by order of the infamous General
Picayune Butler, for the crime of tearing the
Yankee ensign from the Mint in that city, on the
24th of April last, was an act of brutal barbar
ism which no one but a Yankee General would
care to commit. The facts of the case are, that
the Yankees having passed the forts below New
Orleans, made their appearance off- the city on
the 24tb of April and demanded its surrender.
The Mayor replied that the city was at the mercy
of the Yankees, but that it would never be sur
rendered. Under such circumstances the Yankee
commander sent a party on shore to hoist their
flag on the public buildings." They were not
forcibly resisted, but no sooner had they gone on
board of their boats, than Mum ford, his soul
filled with righteous indignation towards the in
vaders of his home, and loathing the very sight
of the emblem of despotism, went to the top of
the Mint and tore the ha'ed banner down. The
crowd assisted, and in a few minutes, the "stars
and stiipes" so defiantly flung to the breeze, were
trampled beneath the feet of the indignant people
of the city.
For this act, committed before New Orleans had
surrendered, and while negotiation were being
conducted between the commander of the fleet
and ihe authorities, the brave and patriotic Mum
ford, was tried, condemned and executed !
A yankee officer ought to be hung in retalia

swing him immediately.

Prisoners from N. C. Reoiments. We
Jearn from a New York letter dated June 1 2th,
that the following is a list of the Confederate
officers belonging to North Carolina regiments,
now held as prisoners of war in Fort Columbus,
on Governor's Island :
Col C M Averv, Cnpt T W Mayhew, 3od regi
ment; Capt 0 it Rand, 26th; 1st Lieufs JA
Weston, 11 A Hindser, 33d; 1st Lieut W Wheeler,

2d Ueut C II Broivn, Latham's Battery; 2d Lieut
J W Yrnisen, 25th; Major D D Lowe, 28th;

2d Lieut W A Stuart, 37th.
eral days, and, having built their hist line of in
trenchments, were working up under cover of the
timber towards the rebel fortifications. A. num
ber of severe encounters bad occurred, in the
majority of which our men had been driven back,
although some decided advantage had been ob
tained in the possession of commanding positions.
Still, no great superiority had resulted, and the
hard fighting had yet to come". All were looking
anxiously for the coming contest, and every pre
paration was making to provide-for success.
On the morning of the 29th a report was heard
like the explosion of a magazine, and smoke rising
in heavy clout's indicated that large fires were
burning. Our skirmishing parties were out at the
time, creeping through the undergrowth and
timber, in momentary expectation of meeting the
enemy. They stole onward at a stealthy pace
until they came in sight of the rebel line of en
trenchments, from which they expected an im
mediate attack. Astonished at discovering no
signs of life, they gradually approached nearer,
until it became evident that the works were
tenant less, when they bounded over them and took
possession with ringing shouts of triumph and
exultation. At an early hour the town was filled
with our soldiers in confusion and disorder. They
found nothing of interest except a few stray citi
zens, who looked out of their dwellings in fear and
trembling.
The result of this has brought forth but one
expression among the army; that of dissatisfac
tion and discontent. We have waited two months,
with an immense army, and all the appliances of
success, to sec, after all the labor and suffering,
the prize melt away in a moment, like dissolving
snow. Before the last reinforcements came up,
there were three hundred and seven regiments
here. The augmentation swelled the number to
three hundred and twenty, which, at the small
average of four hundred to a regiment, gives
128,000 men. There were more than that, for
few regiments go below four hundred, and some
the cavalry and the new ones have a thousand.
The enemy had not a mari over sixty thousand,
for their own people, the bitterest of them, did not
claim more. He had but fifty-seven pieces of
artillery in his entrenchments, and was so dis
trustful of his weakness as to resort to the dodge
of putting up sham guns, made of wood. With
all this in our favor he beat us back at almost
every po'.nt where we met him during the advance,
and finally slipped through our fingers like an eel.
Of course he must be followed and again ap
proached by weeks of labor and the loss of
thousands ot lives. The torrid summer is coming
on in full force, and, with ranks already reduced
one half from sickness and death, our army is to
advance as far as the enemy chooses to lead. It
is not much to be wondered at that the men are
discouraged and the oflicers discontented
Tribute or Respect. The officers of the
28th North Carolina regiment, on duty near Rich
mond, held a meeting on the 11th inst., (Col.
James II. Lane presiding,) and passed a series uf
appropriate resolutions of respect to the memory
of their late Lieutenant-Colonel, Thos. L. Lowe,
who died recently, after a lew days illness. He
was a willing and gallant defender of the rights of
the South, and a brave and much esteemed officer.

Gen. Beauregard's Reply to Gen. IIal
leck's Report. The Mobile Evening News of
the 19th contains a card from Gen. Beauregard
denying Halleck's despatch about Pope's captur
ing ten thousand prisoners, &c. He says Pope w;
careful in his advance after my army had retired
from each successive position. The retreat wa?.
conducted with great order and precision, and
must be looked upon in every respect by the coun
try as equivalent to a brilliant victory.
The actual number of prisoners taken was about
equal on both sides. The enemy captured but
seven engines, and they damaged. 1 attest all we
lost at Corinth, would not amount to one day's ex

on yesterday, with Mr J. W. Kidd, of Talladega,
who had just returned from a visit to Clarke
county, where he had been engaged i:. explorioi:
the swamp lands of -that section of our State, ir
the purpose of ascertaining the best locality for
procuring salt. He informs us that he has dis
covered a large lake, capable of yielding a suffi
cient quantity of that much needed article to sup
ply the wants of the entire Confederacy This
lake is some twenty miles from Gainstown, and he
assures us that there is room and water ample to
afford constant employment to twenty thousand
persons. Mr Kidd has purchased the land on
which the lake and springs are situated, and in-

THE PROTECTION OP FOREIGNERS.
Wc have received.thesubjoined communication,
in respect to "Otir Coudnioii with Foreigucra
and their Exemption, lrom Military Duty," from
oue of our most intelligent and respectable Ger
man eitixcus. Asit'atfoida information ujku
subject with which comparatively few are conver
sant, it merits the attention of the reader. It is
as fyllow:
TUere are thousands of foreigners who have
received exemptions from military duty, and still
remain with us as neutral residents. bet us ex
amine and see if they have a right to transact busi
ness, buy up our markets, and look placidly on the
privations of the poor, and the hardships of our
soidiers without any other responsibility than that
which is purely individual, aud means the respon
sibility of accuniulating-money.
Let us consider, for instance, the position of the
Germans, as their number exceeds all others in
this country. There are three classes, namely:
first, the Runaways; second, those who leave Ger
many of their owu free will; third, the Paupers.
The first class are exiles, who can never return
again, unless, of course, at the expense of their
liberty. Even should the notorious Carl Shurtz
or Ftcdcrick Hecker, dare to go home again, they
would never alter sec the rising of another sun
All these, in particular, who arrived here in 1848,
have, in a political way, in Germany, (as well as
America,) done great mischief. They are chiefly
men of good education, and thus been en-bltd to
take advantage of the ignorant thiough the med
ium of their speeches. It will be remembered that
Carl Shurtz, before the presidential election, in
1860, promised Lincoln 40,000 German vote.' in
the West aud North, if he would make him Con
sul to Sardinia. The bargain was agreed to, .and
its fulfilment is well known. If men of the same
class in the South are exiles from their native
land, and still disclaim any citizenship here, vlure
then is their borne, and what right has a Get turn
Consul to give them his protection? When a Ger
man emigrant wishes permission to leave his
country of his own free will, he is compelled to
go before a court to request a passport, and if he
obtains it, he loses hW citizenship by a pass aud
dismission paper. His name is theu erased from
the roll of citizenship, and he has nothing more to
do with itis father land. Is he, then, entitled to
the protection ol a German Consul ?
The tl ird class, or the Paupers, Germany is al
ways glad to ei rid of. and frequently t e.e is
money collected by charity to get them off, and
should they dare lo return, in the simo sUution,
they never would be recognized again as Get mm
citizens.
1 would ask for information as to tho authority
of a Bremen Consul to give protection to a Ger
man citizen. Bremen is a free city, and has no
control beyond her owu limits, the is herself
under the protection of the Kings of German)
There are now a great many Bremen merchants
scattered over the country, who act as Consuls of
Bremen, and it would be well tor our oteruieut
to investigate their position aud authority at once
Colors. A subscriber in Orange, one of the best
farmers in the State, writes us on the 17th inst:
"As you take un interest in all that concerns the
comfort aud well-being of the count-y, I may )
that the wheat crop wilt be very much better than
was expected two or three weeks past; the corn
yet small it will depend' on the industry of the
farmer ard subsequent seasons; oats very tine; hay
crop will be large; cotton and tobacco, none plant
ed. Salt our great want, and this coming to us
lrom Virginia by wagons and is retailed at 15
cents per lb."
The Milton Chronicle nays that tho wheat crop
of that legiou promises a much greater yield than
was formerly anticipated. Corn and oats promis
ing. Our own information so generally coincides with
the above that we are happy to think that there is
no present danger of starvation. f'aytltetille OL
fiercer. im m
Complimentary. A foreigner who was cap
tured in the late battle of Port Republic, and who
was brought prisoner through tbis city a day or
two ago, acknowledged that be never saw such
splendid fighting as was done by Jackson's com
mand in that battle. He bad been through the
Crimean war, where proba&iy as haid fighting as
ever was before done, be witnessed; he had been
in other late European wars, and witnessed and
participated in the fierce conflicts of contending
thousands; but he candidly admitted he never saw
anything so brilliant, so dariug, so complete as the
charge of Taylor's Louiaiana Brigade on Clark's
Battery, in the battle of Port Republic. The
battery consisted of eight splendid rifled cannon,
advantageously mounted on a considerable hill, and
commanding thepproach to them fur a long dis
tance. From the commencement of thi memora
ble charge, to the capture of the battery, these
eight guns poured an incessant fire into our ranks,
but not a man was seen to falter. .Hundreds fell,
but the brigade charged steadily on, and never
halted nntil the men at the guns were bayonet ted
or had fled, and the guns were ours. Sir,'' aid
the prisoner, "I have s i n the French, in their
impetuous and almost resistless charges; I have
Been the English in their coo!, but determined and
fearful charge, but the behavior of these SotitL
em soldiers, iu their charge on our battery, far
surpassed anything I ever saw or dreamed of.
; Then to think, too, that they were mo.st of them,
mere beardless youths.
1 his was no doubt an honest compliment to the

BUTLER'S OXtDEB. . ; ;
A new order, numbered 41, has been issued by
Butler and will be found in our column. Pica
yune is certainly an ingenious tyrant. He turns
all his astuteness as a lawyer and his skill as a po
litical platform-miker to devillish account, to force
the collar of submission upon the unhappy peoplo
of New Orleans. No devil from below Could have
invented a more internal device than his order No.
41. The text is bad enough, but when the tyrjit
who pennci it is the tutcrpreter.it embraces a
slavery of the free people of that city more palliug
mid desperate than was ever conceived of by blat
ant abolitionists of the children of Africa.
First It precludes every Louisisuian from hold
ing any public office, until he has forsworn him
self and committed perjury iu his heart by swear
ing allegiance to the United States. Thw turns
out all the judges, magistrates, sheriffs, notaries
and publio attorneys. It will vacate tho ifLces of
the municipal government, the school boards, and
all offices of every class of public administration.
Butler by oue daioh of bin pen has thus inflicted
upon the people of New Orleans precisely the
grievance which the Creoles of Cuba have loiijt;
complained of, as the most noxious and trying of
all the evils of Spanish tyranny to wit: to ex
clude the natives from all hare in the publio ad
ministration. Second The order not only condemns tho re
fractory Southerners to exclusion from all publio
office, bur it sweeps every individual from beyond
the pale of protection of the law, ("except protec
tion from personal violence,") who refiuca to take
the Federal oath of allegiance. - No favor dull bo
asked for or received by, "no protection, privilege,
or passport" granted, "no money paid, property or
other valuable things" delivered to any mi", . ex
cept he swears to support tho Government whoso
viceroy h Butler. ' Vf
Such id the text! What will it be under a de
pot's construction? A wan shall not have his
check paid at bank utiles he -.wear. He tdiall
cot collect his rents or his negro hire unless ho
swears, lie shall not take or make a deed for
property utiles he swear, lis shall dj no act or,
thing that a frecunAi may do, and enjoy no privi
h-ge that a freeman is entitled to, -save protection
from pcrsoual violenoc," unless he takes the oath
of allegiance to tupport the Constitution of tho
United States. Mobile Iiiinter,
Butler's Proclamation, Tho New York
Times, for a wonder, does not approve of the brute
Rutler's proclamation at New Otleaus. It buy :
" If Gen. Butler has issued any such order, he
should be forthwith dismissed from the at my. It
would be a disgrace to the service- an infamous
outrage upuu the morality aud decency ufj tho
country and the age. L purports to be a warning
addressed to the ladies, but i really a license, ex
iressly given to the soldiers to treat as "Women of
the town," evety ftina'e who nay, "by turd,
gesture or movement, insult or ahow ooutciojt fur
any officer or soldier of the United States." Such
ltisubs may be very annoying and may deaervo
punishment, or, at buxtt measures of repression,
though we believe that, as yet, they are uot
offences against any code of laws, either civil or
military. But to commit their punishment to tho
unrestrained and sanctioned license of a rough
soldiery would bo a stride towaids th brutality
oi me most paruarous aires, rrom wnien we mist
the- Union cause will be protected. Such nn
order would inflict lasting disgrace on the officer
who should isue it, aud bring t:; cause he pro
fessed to serve into just and general contempt."
As Butler has not been removed, wo suppose
the Lincoln Government approves of the infamous
order.
Complaint. A large number of Confedeles
are now confined at Fort Dolaware, near PhtUdc!-.
phia, as prisoners of war. A letter from a mem
ber of a New . York regiment, now stationed at tho
Fort, and doing garrison duty, complains of the
quality and quantity of the rations. Breakfast,"
it says, '-consists of a small cap of very poor coffee .
aud about three ouuees of soft bread; dinner, a
cup of bean oup'with about three ounce of
meat, and three ounces of bread; supper the aanie
as breakfast" It is alleged that there is no
change of diet from one week's end to another.
The rations, it is stated, cost about six cento a dij,
whereas the Government allows fourteen. Gmi
plaint is also made of the character of the acco-rh-modations.
