First Una soon atter the action of the Tin of April. Sub seqaently, in June, Gcu. Beauregard was urged horn the same quarter to a still further redaction of th? small force lelt niaa, and to go himself to another Ihld of cp era ions and even as late as three days before the 10th ot J uly, hi was further invited to spare some of his troops for operations at another point so ingrained bad beeome'ihe disposition to discredit bia grave and earnest cfibial reports of affiirs in hi3 own Depart ment. That there was no lack cf effort to secure reliable in formation of the movements of the enemy, the proof, we are told, is ample. That enough was procured to authoriz-a assurances of the danger of an attack, is be yond question, as also that those assurances, unfortu nately, had no weight with the authorities at li chmosd. It was known and repotted to the Government that Fol ly Island wasoccup.ed in force since tne7th of April, acd as a coasqaence that Morris Island w-e threatened. Even the changes of land and naval commanders ol the enemy were reported as presages of imp.ndiDg hostili ties. But in vain. All ideas of attack werescoattd at Richmond, we repeat, as late even as the first week in July. It may be asked, then, if informed so accurately, and anticipating so precis.ly the course of the enemy, why did not the Department and District Commanders place Morris Island in condition to meet and toil this attack V The answer given is : Want of labor to car ry out the plans for its defence ; want of armament for the works necessary to that end ; and last, bat not least, want of men to hold and hght any works which might have been thrown up at theTsouth end of Morris Island, without stripping other important portions ot tbe feeble supports leit them. To toave withdrawn la uor. or armament or men for these purposes from our works on James Island, was deemad out of the ques tion. From no other quarter in this Department, we are assured, could tbey have beed drawn. That formidable battery said to have been elaborate ly thrown up on the north end of Folly Island, without knowledge ot our Generals, is stated to b3 an invention ot the enemy. The guns used to drive away our em Ui force, and silenca our few guns, were, we are told, rifled fi Id, and possibly si. -ge pieces, behind slight breast works. It wa3 the superior weight and number of guns, and the heavy supporting bngade of infantry, that swept away our feeole, stinted means ot resistance. The very ground ot this alleged wotk was visited and explored, it is asserted, but a lew days previous by our m. n, but we had not force enoagh left to venture upon a thorough reconnoi33ance of tbe enemy's outposts on Felly Island.

The Atl inta Intelligencer of Tuesday, says that a gentleman just from Loudoun informs ua that Knox ville was evacuated oa Thursday last. All the stores were brcught away, and all the Confederate .troops ex cept Goode's battalion of cavalry, are on thi3 side of the Tennessee. He reports that the panic among the ceople i3 said to be great. Every body is running from Kncxviilo and vicinity and crossing the river. The last train from Kaoxville arrived yesterday. When it left, Goode's cavalry wa3 reported to be skirraishiog with the encrr-y. As was necessary, after the evacua tioa of Knox ville, Cumberland Gap was also evacua ted. It ia believed that our forces will be able to de teat Rosecrana whenever he gives battle. Let no man suppose that any injustice ia iateaded to the planters.

The following joint resoio tion on the tut-ject of thq. employment ot slaves in the army ol the confederate btates, was reported trom the committee of ir oreign Kdation3 in tbe Alabama Legis lature : Jlesolced, eft?., That it 13 the daty of Congress to provide by law, lor tio eiaployment ui U13 military eervice of the ootederate butts, ia such Eiuutioss and in &uch nambers as may be i.u-d necessary, the able-bodied tiaves of the ctuuuy, wactiitr aa pioneers, eappera aud miners, cooks ursts, te.im?tei8, or as tolo.elB. column lLcretsed as we aovanced. so taat bg he time the gljs?es were deplojed I had gained a loss of about ten drinks But they were a'l men who admired me, and wanted to drink to my "speedy prom.- f ion," so 1 threw down a Confederate twenty with as uch ncn ch.ijatice as a tiaarterrnaster, when the expi r ; aud gen tlemanly barkeeper haced over the coanter and whis pered with his blandest smile "seven more, if you please, mejor ; dollar a drink. B doing adiiu to my enthusiastic fiiends, T left them planted where I fourd them, at tteir picket station, ex ercising a most commendable vigilance, iect some new cemer shou'd tscajie thtir congratu'uti jn3, while 1 drii'ed slowly along in the direction of the headquarters of her of whom I hud thought in the smwb of f'ennes see and iu the dust 01 Misbissippi in the midnight bi vouac and in the din of battle who has been my guid ing star, my angel and ray dream. Now I was to find her dttrk tyts, which I had left dimmed with tears, sparkling with pride at my fame ! Bally for me. After I ha i turned tbe corner oi Foyal and Danphin, I overheard an exclamation behbjd me, which made me turn my head iu time to cee the neatest little boot in the world, at the end of the most bewitching open worked stocking, s an argry beauty shook her dreES cut after clearing the crowd of soldiers, citizens, police officers acd newsooys congregated at t!:c corner. ' 'Ihe odious wretches," she said to her companion, " they had much better be with tteir regimen ..a than standing on every cortivr staring people out of coun tenance." " Major Comb,"' I .-aid to myself, " as I-JDg &s you remain in Mobile, never suffer jocree'f tc viand oa a corner and stare at pretty women." Fifteen minutes walk broagl-t mceartna present residence of my fair refugee without Tiber edveature than hearing a female voice from the back gallery of a first class mansion, is genuine cateiwabiing tones : " Yoa, Nancy Jane ! What's tbcai stockings doing f b'.own down ia the oirt : Fut that baby down and come right up here this minute and fix my hair. -You know Colonel Buttonz ilovcr will be he-re directly, and there you are nursing that na3ty, st rg little brat oh lord, ther's an officer !" she ex laimed, mak ing a hasty, but not graceful exit as she met iny ad miring gezs. Whereupon I made the following philosophic obser vation : " When you get married, ilajor Comb, don't have any back gallery to your boas?, and then women can't scream at the servants. A Bweet voice, as has been justly observed, is an excellent thing in woman and most young women have it, except when tbey speak through their noses or scream at-servants but when they do both together scream at niggers through their noes from a high back gallery, it is a combination awful to hear." After having delivered myself to this effect, 1 gave my moustache a fascinating twist and entered the man sion where dwelt my Juliana Marina. When my eyes became accustomed to the obscurity cf the parlor, I luULtl mjself druwn up ia line ol battle in front of a creature that I must describe. It stood in front of mi in the full uniform of a major of cavalry, with the most braid on s sleeves, the big gest Btar on its collar, the longest boots and brightest spurs J ever did see. Its hair was sleek, and its mous tache and goalee were waxed to sharp pcints. On its hands were pink kid gloves, and it smeifflweet. I had seen such things, but not at large. Thty were either following a hand organ or riding a black pony in tbe ring ot a menagerie. While we stood g&zing thus on each other, that my sterious rustling ot siik and voluptuous perfume which ntctdea a pretty woman, announ;d the approach ol tbe ambition of my life "Ju u-liatiEa !"

Baicg uaac. custom ed to wear Epurs, they cut their boots at every -rn. they can no more wear a spur than they -an si- on a horse. Ferceiving that it caught my glance, fixed 00 its feet, I observed that "he wore a cit e! spui-." "Aw, yes; but you see I take them til whtu I wide my mare is a wace horse, and wuas away 1" 1 .

" Do vou know, my dear Misa dull?, ' it said ia a low tone, " all that I wtquire to coup!ete my hap piness?" " A looking giaa?) six by lour !;' i.r.id I over my shoulder. -"It ia the knowledge that you wUl wegwet me while I am gone on this dweedfui business." "But vou will call Lefare ycu leave," she asked, and I saw-in a mirror befor, me that she took its hand in bers and pressed it. " Would a Mussulman leave Mecca without visiting the tomo of the Pwophet V Yoa be d d !" I muttered.; " bui. thank God, it is going eff somewhere." (This dreadful expedition turned out to be a pleasure trip up 'o some work? at Choctaw binfl ) However, much to my relief, it soon took ilz leave ; and I had tbe satisfaction to see it tpcr its iect twice in bowine itself out. ' " Now, Miss Juliana Maria Lcvemel," ?aid I, with that mild dignity for which Gen. Adama so much ad mirea me, " please define your position end explain vour conduct. When we last met, my attentions were sufficient tor you, and yoa had do use for such things aa have just left you.

L?aving "Guaboat" oa bis beamends, the Colonel and I went to the theatre to see a new pby by a Mobile maa. I think the play wns a good one, bat Van and t erpyed ourselves better lock ing at tLe ladies' necks than at the stage. How amia ble in them thus to display those charms we are .asha med to ask to see 1 Bless their ewet souls they know the mo'e we see of them the more ws love tbem, and they let us see as much as possible. But why weary with that night's adventure ? Arm in arm my steadfast friend and I staggered through the night, and bad all the fan there w:'s ; and my last retl.-clion was that "Gunboat" ' made a natural mis take when he thought the Colonel's head was Sand Uland light. Seven o'clock Lext morning found nn sitting alone on a bench ia the pubiic sq-nre, elbows on knee-s, chin resting in my palms, soliiequizicg to the following ef fect : "Well.I'il bi d d 2" (very little doubt of that if you keep od); "I wish this war was over, so a fellow c mid get some Congress water in the morning. Evea 'Bias Lick' is blockaded, and I feel as nuan as Braxton did when he got tbe reply from hia general bia foundation of rock at Tullahoma. I )3t my sweetheart, money all gone, prospect of thres duels, and aa elegant head ache. Oae dy gone oat of my fifteen, and a tolera ble heavy day it was. I don't think I will ask for aty extension. 1 then drew forth what wa3 left in the military chest acd deployed the crumpled bills on my knee. There wtis one ten, one five, three one's, and several little fel lows, besides a memorandum of articles I was to purchase for friends at Morton. Tais latter rose in judgment like Banque's ghost, and I was at a loss how to evade that attention to it rendered impossible by the state ot my finances. Let's examine it : "Mem. Cigars for Gen. Breckinridge." "Tell him no arrivals from Havanna." Mem. Hairbrush and comb for O'Donoghue, cf his staff." Don't know anything he has less use for." Mem. Dozen marbles for Major Graves. "Lst him attend worship of Sundays, instead of play ing marbles with Coleman and Clay." "Mem One dozen good whiskey for Maj or W a, same staff." " Reler him to General Order No. C, prohibiting the introduction ct spiritous liquors into camp." " Mem Pair of spurs lor Frd. Airey." " His old horse is ridden to death now ; as a humane man I can't get him any spurs." The fact is, I tonnd all these requisitions were for superfluous articles of luxury which I ought not to en courage ; and with this reflection came a brilliant idea. ' Twas plain I could no fbrjger stay in Mobile, so I said to myself " I will return to camp, and tell the general that the reluciance with whicb he granted my leave has weighed on my mind eo th&.t I can stay no longer from my com mand. That I felt, when I saw the idleness and dissipation- ol Mobile, that every patriot ought to be pre paring tor ihe next struggle, and tor that purpose I have returned. Then Hardee will commend my zeal Breckenridge will commend my zeal Adams will swear I am the d dest zeaLus officer he ever saw, and who knows ? this zjaf may effect my promotion. Breckinridge is most crazy to recommend me ; aud, the fi8t thing anybody knows, instead of a major, even though it he of an independent command, I will be a a general, by G d !" With this philosophic reCectian, 1 massed my fund3, proceeded to take a light drink, and ti.cn ttarted for the depot. " Take your baggage, sir ?" " My baggage 1 1 btlong to the army of Mississippi." I made the trip, and had fi:ty cunts left to buy a driok of water when I got to Mississippi. The gete- j rals h'.ve been pleased with my z.al, imd I am ia a lair way to be promoted it my uncle get3 elec'fid to con gress. I will adviee you promptly of army movements.
