Paris telegrams say the loan was quite a rage there. The Titnes? city article manifested in the business, and it seems evident that as far as London is concerned it is viewing 1t as a cotton speculation that any attraction it pos ses is to be found.

The London Star cannot believe that bona fide investors will be found to take the loan, even at par, without better security than that oftered by the hypothecation of cotton, wh it may never be in the power of Jeff! Davi Co. to deliver. The Daily News editorially denounces the loan, and says itis flagrant in- decency and immorality, and will strike and scandalize most Englishmen who care for the reputation of their country gard for the true repntation of England will regard this open a: tance to traffickers in human flesh as desecration and pollution to Engtish exchange.

New York, April 3.—A New Orleans leer says that St. Mary’s Hall, a fine howl, and all tbe dwellings in Pensacola excepting those of Messrs. Mallory and Chase, were burned recently. The Eighteenth Maine and Twenty- eighth Connecticut were left there. On the de- parture of the Twenty-eighth Maine regiment, the soldiers seemed to think that the entire evacuation of the place to the enemy was in- tended, and many swore they would burn the place. On Thursday noon, fires made their appearance, and tor three days and nights the place was filled with smoke and flame. Officers tried to stop the work of destruction but they seemed to haye no influence over the men. Even the men placed to guard the property set fire to it. Col. Dyer, commanding the post. was almost distracted, and gave orders to shoot persons engaged in setting fires, but noone executed them; finally the long roll was beaten, and the men got into the Navy-yard and confined. An Execution in New Jersey. Trenton, N. J., April3.—Charles Lewis was excuted here this afternoon for the murder of James Rowan. He died without a word, and with astonishing firmness A few minutes be- fore his execution he conversed pleasantly with those about him, and disposed of his effects in a business-like way. He refused all religious advice, but to prayer being offered in his cell he made no objections. He refused this morn- ing to kaye his child, under advice of counsel, the money that all supposed he had somewhere. A Valuable Cargo.

PREPA TIONS FOR IT—HOW IT WILL RE MADR. {Correspondence of the Baltimore American.) HILTON Heap, S. C., Mareli 25.—I had hoped ten days ago to have given you some news which, when it arrives, will not fail to be of some interest; nor can I explain the delay, al- though known. It is sufficient to say it it was expedient, and that the time for action is near at hand, This morning four of the iron-clads left for North Edisto to await the high tides to enter Stono Inlet, and proceed by that route, if not to Charleston, so near it as to make them 1n- pleasant neighbors, and to render the occnpa- tion of James Island by the rebels impossible with the batteries they haye in position. They have few or no heavy guns, having placed them in positions where they will be of no use. Our enemies will have no time to change the useless batteries they have placed on Morris and Sulliyan’s Islands—useless because we would hay to go out of our way to attack them. Afi®r Charleston has fallen—as fall it will—Dixie will set up a how! that the reason was that they had not placed their batteries Piceely: ith no less than six. hundred avy guns to defend so miserable a spot, two years to prepare their detences without hin- drance from “Old Abe,” and choosing their positions, their execuses will be puerile and unsatisfactory to the “Southern Sey,no doa, wi The arrival of the Ericason to-day, no do Will give us at once the means of aggression. 7 Twenty-eight persons died of diptheria. in Nuw York last week, S very little political feeling was | Those who sub- | seribe to the loan are aiding and abetting the | | slave power in the most direct and emphatic | Manner, and all who have an enlightened re- Fort | FROM VICKSBURG.

The canal, besides, has been so choked up with mud and sand, in consequence of the late overflows, as to be useless, We have some further particulars of the at- tempt of the rams Lancaster and Switzerland torun by the Vicksbrrg batteries. Admiral Farragut requested that an iron. clad and two rams might be sent down to him, ancicipating danger from below. The rams Lancaster and Switzerland were ordered down by Gen. Ellet, with picked crews. The former was commanded by Lieut. Col. John A. Ellet, and the latter by Col. @harles R. Ellet. The rams started torun the Vicksburg batte— Ties at five o'clock this morning, haying been unavoidably delayed. The Switzerland took the lead, and had reached midway between the batteries when a shot struck her boiler, ex- ploding it and scalding three negroes badly, and the mate, G.

Fears for the Safety of Admiral Farra,ut— Rebel Movements in Arkansas. CIrNciINNATI, April3.—The news from Vicks- burg is not encouraging. The Steele's Bayou expedition has returned to Young's Point, aud the troops were being disembarked. The woric on the cut-off, opposite Vicksburg, has been abandoned; rebel cannon vommand two-thiras of its length. 4 The Commercial’s Memphis dispateh says, “Information which ca. be relied on, reache here to-day of the whereabuuts of the India- nola.
