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 tion. Select one from the gang at Salisbury and swing him immediately. N. C. Election.

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, Latham's Battery; 2d Lieut John Anderson, 33d; 2d Ueut C II Broivn, Latham's Battery; 2d Lieut J W Yrnisen, 25th; Major D D Lowe, 28th; Capts W W Speer, S N Stevens, Geo B Johnsoti; 1st Lieut N Bohannan, 2d Licuts C Scott, M A Thorusburg,.28th; Capt T W Brown, 18th; Capt H G Farthing, 1st Lieuts 11 I. Steele, J E Boat, 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. Confederate loss in the Baltic of (Jhickaliominy.

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 pense of this army. U. W.

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 O r tl ii a 1 1 v v f I v p a r l m r n f, l.Al.EltJH, Match 21th, 1S02. !I pure Saltpetre delivered fit thv Ordnance If V ) not A ti l'":tt is illll.lir. will bp received and paid for at tin s-me rat f, v 11C. fire Saltpetre it may contain.

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.
