The Ihrald 'lie was then under the assumed name of George A. Sherman, and claimed to be a British subject.

'i ha New York Herald says : Another rebel piratical -craft, the steamer Retribu tion, is plying her trade in tht vicinity of the Island of M. Ti.o3ia3. She has just been chasing two United S;a-,i3 vessels, and boarded oae of them. She came or ijriuiiiiy from Wilmington, Xorth Caroline, about a iiiwLtti cr two ago, loaded with turpentine an i cotton, Lc.Tii;; her guns concealed in the bold. I tit; :tei-r;; 'ion given of the Retribution is that she id a fort-ar traft schooner, of about one hundred and twenty tecs burthen. Her armament consists of lour Liavy gut.?, with a long Tom amidships. Her sailing .j jahties -n. ictcribed as very fice. She is under the command of Captain Parker. She is painted black, and, it is said, possesses all the graceful outline and symmetry so necessary in regard to speed for one of her calling. While layirg at St. Thomas discharging her ourgo, thowi who saw her speak in unqualifies praise of ths; peculiarities which point her out as a swift and sau-.-7 craft. The Washirgton correspondent of the Baltimore V'i writts : The New York press of yesterday teems with rumors oi speedy Frecch intervention in American afiairs. It is positively asserted also that the British Parliament, which is to meet to morrow, embraces a large majority; iu favor of itnraidiate recognition of the Southern Con federacy. It is well known that all Europe assumes as a fact that the separation of the United States is final, (iovf rtiments will, of course, act upon this assumption, and pursue their own ends in their action towards us without fear of the Federal Government or favor to the Confederate Government. It is stated that the French Government has ar ranged with Mr. SliJell for tha delivery to its order of u large quantity of cotton, and will request the United States Government to permit its delivery, promising that uO contraband- goods shall be introduced in exchange. It is somewhat singular that an overture for a similar -apply of cotton to Eastern factories has been made by tomeprivtte citiaen. They propose to obtain, by purchase in the cotton States, fifty thousand bales of cotton, ab staining Irotn trade in contraband of war ; but require the assent of the government for the operation, which they declare to be perfectly feasible. It these facilities iLiuaiidsrd by France be accorded to her, they will not be withheld from our own citizens. KfSenator Bright of Indiana on (he War lie Is for Pence. The friends of Ex-Senator Bright of Indiana, have asked the use of his name before ths Legislature as a candidate to the United States Senate from which he was expel'ed on a charge of disloyality. Senator Bright rephes : If it i3 the pkasur9 of my friends to o4cr ma the un expired term from which 1 was expelled, I will accept it if tendered by a vote that .approaches unanimity; not otherwise. My return to that body would in my judgment, be regarded by all just men as a signal rebake to the toul conspirators who aide! and abetted tbi3 as sault upon the freedom of speech a nd of action. Mr. Bright then defines his position on the adminis- ution &i fallows : It is enough to suj that I then denied, as I do now, the right of the Federal Govtrniuct to attempt, by lorce of arms, the subiugation of a sovereign State. 1 repeat now what I have spoken on a former occasion : "1 am opposed to the entire coercive policy of this weak and wicked administration." I have never believed that war was any remedy for existing differences between the two sections. As your agent in tLe councils of the country, I was opposed to all legislative acts in aid of this war ; and if yoa were' toofler me a seat in the Senate'again, if I should ac cept it, I would "not, during my stay there, contribute in any form to the support or encouragement of tho in human crasade that those in power are waging, under the late proclamation ot the President'of the United States, against those who are "bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh." On the contrary I am for peace, peace, peace. I am now, as 1 have ben from the hour this inhuman, unnatural and anti-christian war was in augurated, in favor of a cessation of hostilitids, to the end that compr'Mse might (as it has in times past) per ioral its peaceful 'offices. Personally,! am indifferent &s to whether I am cho sen, or not. The Senate of the United States has no" attractions for me now. Not one of those I found on my entrance there, sev enteen years ago, remain. They , have Jxen swept away by the sirocco breath of fanaticism, which culmin ated in the dismemberment of thi3 once glorious Union To my humble self has been reserved the signal and dis tinguished honor of bebeadment at tha hand3 of the po- micai assrssins of tms leu spirit. Trouble In Bank' Army. A few days ago eneral Banks issued a proclamation to nis iroopB in aew Orleans, and vicinity, relative to Lin coin a proclamation. He instructed them to the effect that he would not require them to trouble themselves about stealing tLe ncgros from tteir masters' plantations, but wuen toy or mem came im.o ma camps of the Federal sol diers and claimed protection, Lincoln's edict must be car ried out. Upon the strength of tbia, we learn from a good source, a Colonel of an Indiana regiment rode before his men, made a spe ech to them, and in the presence of the en tire regiment, broke his sword iu two, stating that he was done fighting for the Abolition tyrant at Washington He told his troops thai they could do as they pleased. Where upon, the entire regiment laid down their arms, cheerina the Coicnel vociferously and swearing they would follow Lis example. We also learn, from the same source, that three hnndred resigned Federal officers are now conaned in Carrollton for alledged disloyalty or mutiny. It is believed that the Com manding General considers it unsafe for them to mingle with the common soldiers. Tte report als reaches us through a gentleman from Ba ton Rogue, that at a council of war, recently held by Gen-er-1 Banks at that city, the naval forces announced them selyeajready to begin the attack upon Port Hnson. The land forces however, were against it. General Banks said tney must either fi(?ht or evacuate, on account of the alarm ing and constantly growing dissatisfaction among the ttJ "9 8aid t0 be deserting every day. Over fifty desert" we now at Port Hudson. JKkwn Mimnipyian, tthjmt. BY .TELEGRAPH. tvi villa jociuiaju FROM FBEDEBICKBBUBO. '. Bichkok, Fab. ISta, 1863.

The New Tork Herald, of the l?tb test., fays that hold ers of Cotton advaaced their prices on 11th iant., and were asking 52 a 93 eeota for middling. The Herald, commenting on the report that the people of Charleston were leaving tk&icity iu expectation of an at tack, adr iees them to steer clear of gsvannsh. It thinks the Federal force between Charleston and Savannah sufficient to attack btth simoltareonsly. The Herald knows that Hooker and bis soldiers are ready to seize the cpportnUy even of a partial Jardethg of the mad to open the road to Richmond. John Van Boren, in a speech before the Democratic Un ion Association of New York, in view of the determination of the seceded States not to return te the Union, said : Oar friends the Democrats, Illinois, who propose to hold a Convent ion, will find it a barren task, becaaae the South is determined not to return ; and- nntil their armies have the power to resist and putui down, this war mast go on, aid those who would attempt to stop- it will be car ried away by the torrent. It ia stated that M. Merbier is preparing a paper, to be laid before the government, embodying the views of Napo- j leon. i The U.

The Herald annooncea the arrival of the Europa at Hall- j fax, nut rays nothing of ths reported friendly mediation cf Napoleon. he was a British subject. The jfew York Post says tha parties have been identi , deticted by Prise Com ficd in New York who have organized themselves into a body to demoralize the army and nation by diffusing jour nals and literature of a peculiar kind. The rich men of New York furnish the money, and h? reactionist editors of the World, Express, and Journal of Commerce the brains.

Other eminent Republicans are on tke 6 -f me Conm'Uee. The measure was opposed in Maine by the Abolitionists in vain. It is expected that Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York will com bine in the movement. The Webawkea, iron-clad, has arrived at Port Royal.

A letter from a gentleman f . high respectability at Nas sau says that the Alabama sunk the Eatteras, and the Florida sent the Annie Bonsall, with troops for New Or leans, to the bottom. FROM EUROPE.

The advices from Kurope announce that the Emper or Napoleon made a short address on IVew Year's day to the assembled representatives of foreign governments at his Court, in which he assared them of hia continued desire for peace. We also hear that he addressed a re mark to our Minister, Mr. Dayton, which is construed bj some inta a declaration that for another year he will not interfere in our affairs. We have never placed any great reliance upon Napoleon's assertions. We judge Eia course by h;s actions, having a distinct remembrance of his emphatic denials of any desire to obtain Nice and Savoy, at the very time he was forcmg V ictor h manuel, by intrigues and threats, to cede him these pro-' vinces. Frcm reliable sources we obtain information i from Fans, which induces us to conclude that the Lin - peror ot the French has evidently made up bis mind to espouse ine cause oi me soum. ine reoei icauers in Faris are now the recipint3 of imperial favcr. Tbe Empress has taken under her immediate patronage the prominent secession ladies who dwell in Faris, while the courtiers, one and all, vie in their attentions to Slidell, his family and his circTrr?! associates fiom the South. These are significant-jFicifi and have a greater impor tance than would beattributed to them by those not aware hew every action of apoleon is weighed, bow carefully he shadowsX"8 course by sigus which escape the attentiotfoftbe-uDwary, but which carry conviction to those who bave carefully watched bja pol icy. Until Napoleon lully mjeie up tis mina to favor tbe Soutk he waa cold and lorbidding to Slid. 11 and his lol - lowers. Tbey were not to be received at court in faet, were ostracised. Those were the days when our victories pressed closely upon each other ; those the days when the continuance of the rebellion- seemed im possible'. Our successes, however, became worthless and without results, through the gross negligence and imbecility of our departments at Washington ; and when it became evident that the chances oi iuvis fora fuccwsful resistance were augmenting, Napoleon re lented somewhat towards Slidell, and allowed the rebel a short half hour's audience. From that moment tte hopes of the secessionists rose. They well knew what importance to attach to Napoleons's least action. We met with reverses, while, to add to our complications it became evident to the world that the North was divi ded ; that a few fanatics men with bat one thonght.l one desire were driving the country to destruction. ! Then Napoleon invited Slidell to breaklast. When thev heard ia France that our gallant army had been repulsed at Fredtricksburg, the Emperor took Slidell j into bii intimacy, and new he and his like are the fa-' roritea at the French Court. Those who know what; this indicates will understand that JSapoIeon now open-1 IJ espOU3eaJ Ul cuasc ui xavio. ? c ouaii uul uu cut- prised if our sext files from Europe give details of tbe grand reception at tbe Tnileries of "his Excellency Sli dell, Minister cf President Davis." There art many reasons why Napoleon should lavor the South, tbe most important ef which ia that Davis premises not only to help Napoleon in Mexico, but, as . i t r-: ttr un k. a further inducement, anu u luriiisu a uuuie muiivc ili Napoleon's recognition, the Soqth actually promises to ; free her Blares within some given space of time. Na-! polecn is aware that he will be safe from us for a period, j as regards any interference with his Mexican expadi-J ticn, if he succeeds in raising up a barrier between us J and nimSCli, EUCU as a ouuiuciu vumcuciatjr. covets the eilver mines or Mexico ; nas maue grand plans for working them on a scale never before attempt ed, and expects great results. But he must be iree from interference for some time to carry out thesa senr mes ; and only in the existence of the South as a Government could he remain undisturbed in Mexico. Napoleon will tell bis people he recognizes the South because he is ever tbe " aider of ail nation sTuggling for f xistenee." This phrase did great service at the opening of the ItaliaB campaign. It tickles tbe vanity ot tbe French people to be told they have bnilt up a new power. Cotton will be procured from Southern potts, and this will be still another grand argument ior Napoleon in favor of fas recognition of Davis. He will ay to bis subjects, " I have acknowledged the ' existence of the SoutH as a nation, and you cce the re- 8U113 loimeuia IC vujpivjruicuk wi 1 tives and the alliance ot a-new power." -De trusts that, aided by the South, his plans for the conquest and occupation of Mexico will succeed, and that imme diate revenues obtained from that country will silence the opposition of the people to the Mexican expedition. XJp -to tbe present time, Napoleon has been unaaccess- ftil in IMxW. ne riaturaHy understands he must sue - Cead there ultimately, as the French people would never forgive his havincr undertaken the campaign were he to withdraw now, after tte melees expenditure of hun dreds of millions of francs. Napoleon's position in Europe at this time is a most unfavorable one. I he Italians have set aside his power and iifiuecce, and will allow no further interference on bis part in their affjirs. We hear from a reliable source that the relations between France and Spam were almcst suspended, owing to the irritation which had arisen out of Napoleon's policy in Mexico ; while in England the entente cordiale haa become an empty sound. Napoleon muat keep up his itflaet-ce abroad if he vishe9 to reign iu France. He knows that his peo ple will erase to care for or r spect his lule the moment it teeomcs weakeLed. bo he will, we fear, make a great show of recogcizing th? South as an instance and influence of the power of Fratc-3, the more likely as he wiil reap immediate and substantial results lrom such a step. That 1 e i3 in lavor of the Davis government none can doubt. Ilis actions prove this. A careful survey of his present position will convince those who understand the people ot France that Napoleon can make capital with them by a recognition of the South ern Confederacy ; and we are all aware that he.is ever rtaJy to follow where hia interests lead. We aust not imagine that respect for our power will deter Napoleon. Our mistakes ard blunders have taught him to doubt its existence. Hew York Herald. Frem the Jacksoa (tfias.) Criais, Feb. 10. ProgrikBimt In tUe MortUwet. VVe have derived the subjoined information from a ; gentleman of high moral, social and political character I a distinguished citizen of one of the Northwestern 'State3 and the information, therefore, ia strictly accu j rate and entirely reliable. We make the statements for ; the information and gratification of our readers and the Southern public generally. The Htates of Indiana. Illinois and Ohio hvi detr- mined to stop the war atd make tertui of peace with the Confederate iStates, cost what it may and offend whom it may. Ii one purpose, whatever the future may ba, they are firmly and unalterably united and re eolvtd, and that parpoee is,the war against the Confed erates shall cease, or, if it is to be carried on, tke North west will throw its military power into the scale against j thf aggreesor. The citizens of those States who have j been drafted, or enrolled in the Federal army are leav- leg thit army by the hundreds and by the regimefft, and : thre is no authority in tie army which oan control this : !i.ov( i.'int. Ol Ihf, e ne huoeired and fifty thousand ! men organized by the Federal Government to operate oil the Mississippi river under Grant and McClernand, ! not more than. forty thousand effective soldiers remain, ; and that cumber is daily diminished by mortality from j sickness, end by a voluntary abandonment ol an enter prise with which they are most thoroughly disgustei. j l'Le legiwlaiuies of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Ken tucky are to ecuvene- at Frankfort, in general conven tion, on the j 8tb day of February int , and will there agree upon the principles upon which a Northwest Confederacy is to be instituted, and propose terms of j peace and commerce with the Confederacy for the i States borderirg the Mississippi and its tributaries ; proposing a Irea'y, offensive and defensive, with the ! South, or an adopriou of the Confederate State3 Con ' stituticn, to incorporate thoje new members into the ' Confc-daracy. if tbat be agreeable to the people of the ! Confederate Slates Hut in any even', and indepen- elently of all other questions, re-ations of peace, amity an i commerce with the South are Jo be established. V li'.'n these principles a: e agreed upon in convention, comti is3icners will be deputed to bear the result to Richmond to treat with the Confederate Government for a final and satisfticle ry aojcstmeLt of all interests involved. 'I his action will betaken not secretly, not clandestinely, but openly and with serious, dignified de- erminptioti, representing the sovereignty of those great ;tnd populous States.

When thus rati fied, the work of eeparation from the United Staes will be regarded as fioally and irrevocably perfected. " Bat." we. suggested, Mai. , what if Mr. Lineoln shall.eend a e'etachment to Frankfort to arrest ths bonventioa and its psace delegates to Richmond V "sfjet him dare lift a finger, or march an army to dis ; turfj the deliberations'Sf,; that convention, or arrest its ; dogates, and three hundred thousand Western men j will move to Washington City and h.an Mr. Lineoln and hi a Cabinet." - Again, we buggeated, 'lMr. Lincoln has the army and the navy and the treasury." " Let him send Grant's Army," said our informant, " to Illinois and that, is the last Grant will ever sea of Lis ermyi lie would not have a corporal's guard re mainirg attache! to his command, while our Southern allies would recapture every town and cityVoa tbe Mis sissippi, from New Orleans to Cairo. Let jRosericranz take his army to the Ohio river, and it willeeaee to ex ist in hke manner. We already bate one hundred and eighty thousand returned JFj0ttffioldier3 in those States ready to join us, and weave the army and we have the leaders, tied if the Black Republicans at Wash ington City dare to interfere with us, the majesty and power of a great people will be exerted to Washington City and hacg the last one of them. As to operations upon the river, tbe gunboats shall be yours." " And what will you do with the Federal war debt?" ,we asked. We will repudiate the last farthing of it," said he, ; it wa never constitutionally contracted ! And what will you do with the ' green backs Un " We will make a bonfire of them, and consume them at the altar of sacrifice." " And what will you do with the Middle and New England States ?' " We expect the moral support of New York and Pennsylvania. We'Jl cut ofl" Michigan to Canada, where she ought to belong. And if New England interferes, we'll whip her out of the Union, or into good behavior." "And vhat time," we asked, "do you expect the pres ent war to close ?" "I expect," said he, no more general engagements, unless one should cccur in Middle lennessee, between ! the lorces under Bracsr and Rosencranz. and I sharald ! deem that a great misfortune, as beinar unnecessary and involving a useless sacrifice of life. By the first of April there will be a practical cessation of hostilities in the Southwest, and by the first of June a permanent peace, unless the Black Republicans determine ta wage a war agaiDst the Northwest." The above statements comprise eubstantially . tb ia- formation we bave derived. Our informant seemed to entertain little dcubt Indiana and Illinois, at blast, would fall into the Confederacy, along with Missouri and Kentucky. lie thought it was also the deathly of Ohio, but seemed lees confident of that State. Whether these States should belong to the Confederacy or not, he had no doubt at all or the foundation of a Northwest Empire, ia the event of their exc.usion from the South.

Ibis loathsome disease, which hai been devtloped throughout the country by Yankee faith, is cf interest enough to give a short article a place in our columns on its history, which we compile roataly Irons tbe "rtnny Magazine. Jo tbe history of the world wc find, at various times, i tne record oi epidemic cr epreaoiog aiseasea, unaer xne name ot t lagues. 1 he word plague la apt to convey a very indefinite idea to one not ot the medical fraternity, which he ia unable to describe, but in reality it is aotn ing more nor less than a fever. Tbe great plague of Londo" in 1663 caused the death of 8,000 persons in one w ck,and was of the nature of epidemic or spread ing diseases, which may take its origin in the remotest district of an extensive country, and yet if its progress ba independent of the peculiarity of soil and climate, it may soon come to overrun the whole. In the same way , although a spreading malady commences in one hemis- j pntre Ol ine giouc, it uiajf, uiLcr a hujc, iuvouc iuc uiu ers. Small pox, previous to vaccinnation, was a plague which exercised a still more destructive power than any other, and whole districts were depopulated by it. The physicians of ancient Greece and Rome, it does not ap pear, were at all acquainted with Bmall pox. We have to look for traces ot ils early progress farther east. In the traditions of the people of China and Ilindocstan, it was enumerated as one of the common diseases of the country, and those countries must be considered as tbe cradleBof small pox," which would mo3t naturally i)e tbe iesu!t of a dense population and the filth engendered from poverty. Its first appearance in western Asia was about the middle of the sixth century, and Barope was not invaded, till a later period. In the year 5G9, the city of Mecca, in Arabia, was besieged by an army of Abyssinian Christians, nnder the command of Abreha, with the expectation of des troying a Pagan temple within that city. In this army tbe small pox -committed dreadful havoc and the measles appeared at the same time, so we are told. It reached Great Britain in the beginning of tbe 9th century. In 1517 St. Domingo', one of the West India island? was infected by it, and not less than one million of Indians 1 waa destroyed by it and the murderous arms of the Spanish invaders. In 1520 it commenced iu Cuba, and from thence it was carried to Mexico, in the latter country, in a short time, it is computed three and a half millions of its inhabitants were carried of by it, includ ing the brother and succesor of the emperor, Montezu ma. Peculiarities of climate affect it not,'for in 1707 Iceland was tearly decimated by it, 16,000 persons hav ing died with the disease within a very short period of time ; and, in H33, Greenland lost nearly ail its inhabi tants by it. When it enters a locality whera it has not been be fore, its first effects are almost always more extensively destructive than at any subsequent time, and no disease is in itse.f more loathsome than small pox. The pa tient, more particularly in the confluent variety, pre sents a most pitiable spectacle, lie is seen laboring under a fever, with the worst typhoid r putrid symp toms, he is covered from head to heel with pustules, which sometimes coalesce and ultimately change the whole surface of the body into one continued sore that renders the features ondistinguishable, and convers him into an object of disgust to the senses. Without th aid of innoculation and vaccination, it i3 calculated that at least one fourteenth of every generation of mankind would perish beneatn the deadly taint of small pox ; but, that were ianocculation generally practieed.the mortality would not amount to one in seventy of those on whom the operation had been performed, and under the protective influence of vaccTnation one death is not to be expect ed in many hundreds of persons so treated. IXr. Jen ner, of England, discovered vaccination from observing that milkmaids, whose hands were made sore frcm con tact with a scab on the udder ot cows that were milk ed by them escaped the disease, though in almost daily contact with it. He was thu3 led to experiment upon his son and then upoa himsslf with some of the vaceia matter taken from the udder of a healthy cow, and the result has given to the world this sure proctection against this most loathscnia disease. We hepe our readers, when they peruse this article, if they have not been vaccinated within seven years past, will at once have it performed. It is the surest method of prevent ing the spread of the disease. A" ?Iyster- Explain il. The prevailing cries of " scarcity ol supply '" and " supply will soon be exhausted," were suddenly explo ded in Columbus, Ga , a few days sinco, by the occur rence of a.fire. Tie Sun gives the following ncco!int of tbe exposure of the speculative trick : Sugar had become scarce. Consequently the price had gone up enormously. Dealers constantly spoke of a probability, not very remote, that the Eupply would give out entirely as transportation bad become impos sible. Still the supply kept adequate to tbe demand. When the hogsheads ran low fresu ones made their ap pearance. TfaeiC was always plenty cn hand nt the price asked for it. Railroad men said it had occasioa aTIy found it? way out of the city ol late but sejldoninto it. There was a strange mjstery about it. Steamboat men made similar statements. Stiil the supply never gave out, although the price continued to go up. The nre occurred, the curtaia wag raise J, the denouncement appeared, and the mystery is solved. Broad street h literally full of huge hogsheads well filled with whut had become so rare a luxury ia our market. Where did they come from ? Did tbey drey from the fkfcs like the manna of old ? Did they spring from tha cm h like Minerva from tbe head of Jupiter ? Or, can it be possi ble that they emerged from quiet cellars and I ack rooms, in apprehension ot the destroying element ? A Habb Lick. As one instance among many others equally significant of the revolution brewing in tbs North-west, we give the following sledge-hauiErer lick dealt at tbe Puritan New Eaglanders by the Cincin nati Enquirer. It ia clipped from a lergthy article, which is full of truth and honest indignation, long pent up, but now escaping like steam from the whistle ol a locomotive. Verilr, the davs of the dynasty ars num bered : When the West was annihilated by thcBritibh and Indians in the war of 1812, and whea our women and Did New England ? No ! She wameetiDg in the Hart ford Convention to concoct meagfares. to withdraw from the Union, and to ally herself with Great Britain.
