With regtrd to the reported movements of General Kirby Smith, the Appeal ssysfi. , : - Gentleman, who arrived from Jackson last evening reiterate the report that. Kirbv -Smith had -eeeenled ""THilUklo's Bend, La., twenty miles above Vlckaburg. One gentleman, who erossed the Mississippi at Hatches on Sunday latt, brought over the information that General Smith, with his army, on some fifteen trans-, - ports, started op the Tensas on Thursday last, desti nation unknown, the absence of Banks fron the Tcue country rendered this movement a safe one, and fom the Upper Tensas to the point named on the Mis sissippi could easily be reached by a short maVch. The report li, we believe, worthy of some credit. ' The Jackson correspondent of the Mobile Tribune -writes, Jane 2, as follows. . . ' v From Wksburg you need pot expect to hear any thing more than that they are fighting daily. I think the Yankees will simply continue their bombardment, 'firing slowly, whilst Grant will make a show of fight ing, all the time, however, Intrenching himself. Bet pome fine morning he may wake up from the rpirit of Lis dreams and find that he will have to right about and face the music. But I do not like to speculate; for every day there are changes, and no one can tell what a day may bring forth. That a big fight Is im 'mineot we all know. Fixed as Grant is, he cannot Jielpbut fight, and fixed as we are we cannot help but make him fight, and that not at Vicksburg, and aU this most be done soon. A tragedy has taken place at St. Petersburg, which has created a powerful sensation.

A soldier is sitting opposite me, perusing a letter A tear is trickling down his cheek; the rough heart has been touched. Write to the soldierl Few things are more inspiriting to Lira than a letter from "home, sweet home, and gentle frirnJs. I have seen a sol dier apply for a letter with anxious countenance, and failing to receive one, tarn away dispirited. Oa the other hand I have seea him elated and transported by these messengers of the absent, freighted with thoughts of beauty and message of lore. . 1 would that every lady, who has a friend in the army with whom she corresponds, could realise what power she wielded with her pen. , She would write more burning word to Ire his heart; more words of cheer to stay bim in his despondent hours; more earnest word to point bim upwards to his greatest Friend, tbe Captain above all hosts. These letters naturally have a powerful effect Tbey first soften the-heart by TeTtving niemftrles "of home and dear ones and peaceful scenes, and thus pre- !are the tablet for a deep impression. The complex on and word of the letter is then very apt to be trans ferred, and the soldier smile and weeps over these missives of the absent. They are read and re-read and protect him from' many a tore temptation. A word of confidence in bim from some fair friend may be tbe fortunate shield sgaiost many a moral danger. In the camp such shields are needed more tuan in any other situation. These beautiful characters are daily being rained, and fair names blighted. Letter writting by woman cau be and is made, I doubt not, a work of noblest philanthropy. The Sabbath is terri bly abused iu. Let woman counsel against its deseora Uoo. Too many are this day of rent gambling and card playing. Strange, yet so is, that roan will be so bold, so defiant; the deadly conflict before bim, yet insulting God I But ho trembles at the hour of dissolu-iiotLl-llew different 4he-ChristianJrdealhlI knew a Captain who was suddenly confronted by the grim messenger, but quailed not. "I will die in a few moments; all necessary arrangements for my wife and children have been made; I am at peace with God and tbe world." How calm how triutrphantT thus died Jackson. And who can tell how many have determined to emulate his life now that he is gone. So may his death be a ublesaing in dwguiae." E. Y. C. "Atlanta Comnenwtallk, Ucadq'n. 80tb J(cff., IV. C. lUliifiu.
