LATEST FROM RICHMOND. | A BOGUS RUMOROF A BATTLEIN LOUISIANA ———— ALL QUIET AROUND VICKSBURG. ——_——-_- THE LOSS OF LAWS’ REBEL BRIGADE. Bee BEES CTS ENS: The Richmond Sentinel of the 12th contains & despatch from Jackson, Miss.,of the 1ith, saying that the Natchez Courier professes to have information that Gen. Kirby Smith, at the head of 10,000 raw troops, has beaten Gen. Banks badly, driving him out of Washington, La. A rebel despatch of the 9th from Vicksburg says that there is nothing new there from the front, and that the Federals had been landing troops on that day below Young’s Point. | The Richmond Sentinel of the 12th also says | that Laws’ (N.C.) brigade lost 787 killed and ‘wounded, and 115 missing, in the battle of Chan- cellorsyille, or a total of over 36 per cent. of its | entire number. [Notr.—The despatch in the Sentinel from Vicksburg on the 9th confirms our impression | that the Cairo despatch of the 13th, which we | publish elsewhere to-day, is founded on an un- truerumor. That states that Grant repulsed Bowen severely on the 6th, (the previous Wed- nesday,) and then retired ten miles, to the Big Black, to await reinforcements. Neither this | Subsequent rebel despatch. mentions any such engagement as having occurred, nor does the despatch of Gen. Grant himself, dated the 6th’ | inst., whieh was received here yesterday, as | Mentioned in the Star of that day.] | THE HERALD AND VALLANDIGHAM. | We commend to the New York Herald and | other journals professing a desire to aid the Government in the due prosecution of the war for the restoration of the Union, that have seen fit to condemn the arrest of ©. L. Vallandig- har, the manly and patriotic paper submitted ‘by General Burnside to the court-martial in the case in explanation and justification of his order for the arrest. No one really loyal can read it without entirely approving theexercise of such power on the general's part, if at the same time he knows—and who does not ?—that Vallandig- bam from the commencement of the war te this hour has been the most active, unscrupnlous, | &\ owed and dangerous laborer against the pros- | ecution of the war in all the loyal States. No j man who reads the newspapers and has there- fore noted what Vallandigham has said and done for two years past, doubts that his sym- Ppathies sre wholly with the cause of the rebel- | lion. Nor can any man doubt that he has ef- fected more in the way ot embarrassing the success of the arms of the United States than any other thousand men north of Mason and | Dixon’s lire. | The Government, it is clear to us, has but | one of two alternatives. Either to make | peace on the terms of the rebels—the terms of Mr. Vallandigham—2r to continue the proseca- tion of the wer with redoubled energy, apply- ingevery means at its command of strerngth- ening our armies and weakening those of the | public enemy; including the so evident duty of | Promptly restraining demonstrations on the part of the disaffected at the North, designed | orcalculated to aid the rebellion directly or | indirectly. j These are common sense views that must Strike all with force; and the New York Herald ‘Will soon find that they are the views of the couniry with s@ great unanimity as that its ef- | Forts t» stand between Vallandigham and his | just deserts will simply serve to earn it the reputation of being the sympathiser with his conduct, which it repudiates at times with so | much sound and fury. FEMALES § T SOUTH. The last lot of rebel prisoners sent South from this city were accompanied by fourteen females, ‘who had been in confinement in the Old Capi- tol. Among them were Mrs. Mitchell and her | two daughters, arrested by General Rosecrans | Zor persistently aiding and abetting the escape of rebel prisoners, most intensely vituperative traitors as they proved to be while here. Also, 2 woman who had served for some months as | @ rebel sergeant of cavalry, a regular bruiser. | Also, the noted Miss Ford, of Fairfax county, | ‘Va., arrested for participation in Moseby's abduction of General Stoughton, &c. It is due to Miss Ford that we should state that her | behavior while a prisoner here was so entirely | Modest and correct as to make friends for her | all whose duties were about the Old Capitol, e@nd to imprees them with the conviction that General Stuart's commission appointing her ‘Bs one of his aides-de-camp, which was found ‘with her when arrested, was but a joke on the part of all concerned in it. FOR PHILADELPHIA. Some one hundred and sixty rebel prisoners, | ‘who have signified a willingness to take the ath of allegiance to the U. S. Government, deave the city this afternoon fer Philadelphia, | ‘where the oath will be administered them. GUERILLAS AROUND. Informaton has reached here that Moseby’s gang were seen yesterday and the day before on the mountains of Loudon, near Lovetts- ville. CAPTURE OF A BLOCKADE RUNNER. Navy Department haveinformation that | the steamer Cherokee, a blockade runner, was | captured by our squadron off Charleston on | the 6th instant. | ‘Tux Maror wor As: .—The Washing- ton Republican yesterday in noticing the fact that Major Chas. S. Wallach, reputed to be of the rebel army, whose property has been seized Zor confiscation, is “the brother of the Editor of ‘he Star and the Mayor of the city,” adds that ‘the latter is now absent in New York, serving ws chairman of the Washington Conncils’ com- mittee to present to General McClellan their complimentary resolutions sometime since adopted. The Mayor is not absent from Wash. ington, his public duties requiring his presence mthome. He addressed General McClellan a suitable letter transmitting the resolutions; nd, at the request of Councilman Murtagh, ne of the preprietors of the Republican, (who, by the by, voted for their adoption,) he ap- pointed to fill the vacancy in the presentation committee made by his unavoidable absence, Mr. Hanscom, Editor of the Republican; as Mr. Murtagh urged that that gentleman's close per- | fona! relations with General McClellan made Dis selection a very proper one. 7" Earl Russell bas called Mr. Adams’ at- tention to the fact that it was reported to the Government in London that Union agents ‘were recruiting for the Federal army in Great Britain. A very interesting correspondence ensued on the subject. The large number of ible bodied young men ieaving Oork by the ateamers was adduced by the Earl in of the charge. Mr. Adams denied that ited States agents were so employed, and uietly suggested that the «alleged distress” existing in Ireland might account for the emi- gration ‘sphenomenon.” } i - | em WONDERFUL SPEAKER.—Mrs. R GENERAL LEE UPON-THE DEATH OF STONEWALL JACKSON.

Information has been received at this Depart- ment thatsundry persons are purchasing horses and mules within the United States for expor- tation, contrary to the Executive order of No- vember 21, 1662. To the end that during the present war the milftary resources of this Gor- ernment should not be withdrawn from the country, the commandants of departments are directed to prohibit the purchase and sale of all horses and mules, within the limits of their re- spective commands, to be exported from the United States, and to take and appropriate to the use of the Government any horses, mules, or live stock designed for-exportation, causing the value thereof to be appraised and-reportad tothe Quartermaster Generals; and they are enjoined vigilantly to enforce the executive order ot November 21, 1862, prohibiting the ex- portation of arms, ammunition, and munitions ; of war.

The statement ina New York journal that Capt. Todd, Provost Marshal of this District, permitted a rebel general while a prisoner to visit restaurants, places of amusement, «e., is without foundation. There has been no rebel general here as a prisoner, and the whole story probably grew out of the fact that a lieutenant in charge of a rebel major and lieutenant per- mitted them, on his own responsibility, to visit | a restaurant in this city. It is but due Capt. Todd to say, that as soon as the circumstance came to his knowledge, he proceeded to the restaurant, and finding the statement correct, ordered the delinquent Lieutenant under arrest.

Both parties claim success; but the chief design of Comonfort to dislodge the French from Attaxico was not attained. Reports haye reached Vera Cruz that the | French have been driven from Fort Janyier to their former position at Amalucan. The French account disagrees with this, and re- ports the capture of the Church of Carmen on | the nineteenth. A general review of the situa- tion shows little change since the Ist of April.- Gen. Oberan, with fifteen hundred Mexican cavalry, had made a sortie from Puebla to at- tack the Prench supply trains frem OUrizaba. Numerous bands of guerillas invested the road from Vera Cruz to Orizaba, and several expeditions which were sent out to annihilate them had been unsuccessful. The French in Vera Cruz entertained great fear that amillion dollars, with a large amount of ammunition which was about to leave for Puebla would not arrive safely. Comonfort has been reinforced “by seven thousand men from the city of Mexico, and Mexican reports express the hope that by over- whelming numbers they will be able to anni- hilate the French invaders. The traitor Bution, who acted in concert with the French, is said to have been totally defeated, | and Morquez is reported a prisoner. The Vera Cruz dates are to April 13th, when | French advices from Puebla were only to the 19th, via Jalapa and Mexico. Puebla dates are to the 2ist of April.

Stevens sppoliied secre! * The Chair complained that they had been circumvented in their efforts to nominate the right men for office at the previous meetings, and they would now make one more effort to make nominations witnont being overruled by their opponents. The chair went on to re- peat the ridiculous untruthfal assertion by which the Union for office men attempt to bolster their canse, that their opponents are enemies tothe Administration, and this seemed to be about the staple of his argument. Mr. N. B. Northup, who runs that famous machine known as the Guardian Seciety, and who seemed to be chief bottle-washer and res- olutionizer at the affair last night, then oc- cupied the attention of the meeting, after which the following nominations were made: For Alderman—John M. Broadhead. C For Councilmen—John Grinder, Ezra L. Stevens, Wm. C. ir. Messrs.

This morning the Court rendered a decision in the case of Barney’s children vs. Barney, on & motion of the defendant by his counsel, Mr. Davidge, to dissolve an order issued by Chief Justice Carter, resi him from exercising control over the children,and requiring him to ing them back. The Court decided: Ist, to deny the motion; 2d, the defendant to return the children within ten days; 3d, in default of returning the children, the answer to be stricken from the files; 4th, either party may apply for further directions as to the custody of the children; and 5th, the defendant to pay the costsof the motion.
