Before Oarro, Sept4.—The steamer Pike, from Du- val’s Bluff, arrived at Memphis on the Ist. A reconnoitering force had gone to Lake's Bluff, some distance above Duval’s Bluff. There was i small Rebel force at that place, which made ashow of resistance, but were quickly disper- sed by our troops. The Rebels lost several in killed and wounded. There was no loss on our side. A-considerable force was rer.t from Dao- val’s Bluff, last Thursday, the 27th uit., which ceeded in capturing Brownsville after a brief fight, in which the Reb2Is were put to flight. Brownsville is the county seat of Prai- rie county, situated thirty miles northwest of Clarendon, and about thirty-two miles north- east of Little Rock. Another Account.

STEVENSON, ALA., Aug.31.—[Correspondence Cincinnati Gazette.J—A brief review of the progress of events up to this morning, may not be out of place. On Tuesday the 16th inst., the entire Army ot the Cumberland got pretty generally in motion, and from that uptil the 2ist, different corps were struggling across the mountains, and taking up position along the new line extending from Harrison aboye Chattanooga, to Belle- fonte, below Stevenson. lingly ‘second edishun’d” it on Satarday) as to bring about a European coalition against the United States on this Mexican question. So that, if the United States should eventually recon- solidate her power, and attempt an enforce- ment of the Monroe doctrine in Mexico, France would be able to bring other Powers with her into the war that would ensue.” The inducing of the Archduke Maximilian to ‘accept the throne of Mexico is the main feature | of this grand plot, penetrated thus acutely by a Faris correspondent of the New York Times. | But before we allow our nerves to be too much shaken by the news, let us be sure that Maxi- | Milian has, or will accept the throne. The Vienna Gazette, tae official organ of the Austrian Government, says that the accept- { ance is plainly impossible, except under certain | impracticable conditions. Both the popular and semi-officia) journals of Austria have taken a similar tone. The Pregse of Vienn& and we ust veuwcue rosy have spoken more strongly. The latter jour- | mal, which is one of the most popular and best informed in the Austrian empire, thus writes: «+ Not a doubt can be entertained for a moment | as to the definite decision in a matter born of intrigues, and nourished by invasion and se- questration. This Mexican crown is not fit for a moble German prince.” The Oat Deutsche Post proceeds to show that in @ point of fact no at- tempt has been or can have been made to elicit the will of the mass of the population, without which the Archduke s acceptance could not be thought of. It asserts that the «‘notables” who have elected him are merely the packed nomi- nees of Forey and Almonte. The Presse of Vienna, in still more indignant | Janguage, asserts the same thing. Nor is there On Saturday the 22d, Col. J. T. Wilder, com- manding a brigade of infantry in General J. J. Reynold’s division, appeared before Chatta- | nooga, and shelled it from 10 & m. until 5 p. ; M., inflicting considerable injury upon the en- | emy, and losing one man seyerely, and two slightly wounded. from the 23d to the 28th extensive prepara- tions were made for crossing the Tennessee; the extreme left of the army got fully into line, and some unimportant skirmishing took place at different points. On the morning of the 29th, rey ching: being im readiness, the pontoons which had hitherto been concealed in the valleys and coves among the mountains at some distance from the river, were hurried to the front;-and in a space of time which would seem incredibly short to the unjnitiated, a force was landed on the other side of the Tennessee sufliciently strong to bid defi- ance to the enemy. The crossing was effected at four different points—Shellmound, Bridgeport, opposite Ste- venson, and Bellefonte. It would be improper to designate the forces now upon the other side, but the first troops which landed opposite Stevenson were those Mi a agag ty UE ee os aang. Cengeey we ooo C. Davis’ division. AtShellmound a portion of Gen. Reynolds’ division first reached the other side. They captured a number of rebels near Shellmound, and broke up a camp at Falling Water Creek. Other forces have of course followed since iné Merning of the 29th; we hold the country trom Shelimounu to llefonte, extending & half dozen miles from the Tennessee, andevery hour picking up stragglers and receiving deser- ters from the enemy. Yesterday a large force of ourcayalry forded the river, losing two men and five horses drowned in the passage. They immediately took up the line of march in the direction of Chattanooga, since which they have not been heard from. This morning there is a general activity along the whole line, indicating the speedy ap- proach of important events. Y. Ss. es ‘any doubt that this is the literal truth. The | juggle of the Savoyard ballot-boxes is nothing tof. The Archduke knows that, as regards popular assent, he has nothingtogo upon. The Ost Deutsche Post goes so far as to say that ** public opinion, which is anything but well affected toward the imperial summons, will be invited in some authentic manner to regard that Summons as neverfhaving been issued.” It wishes, also, to spare any ‘‘ Mexican deputation an un- necessary journey from France to Vienna.” | The Austrian Gazette again says that Maxi- milian could never accepta throne from aparty; and that until the whole country shall have submitted there can be no question about it. ‘The Presse indignantly declares the offer of the Mexican throne fo be a mere attempt to shelter the | discredit of the Mezican expedition under the name of an Austrian prince. The London News says in this connection: *.We are entitled to assume from all these statements, both official and popular, not only | tat the Archduke has made no acceptance, | but that the offer presented to him is equally invi- | dious in the eyes of the Gevernmeut and unpopular | with the public of America.” | ‘Whenever active army operations at home recommence, supplying the needed newspuper | Ppabulum, we shall probably hear less of these portentous foreign complications. | i 7 About a month ago the United States Ex- Fress Company was robbed of $60,000. Since j that time special efforts haye been made to ar- rest the thieves and secure the money. On Friday the money was found in New York; the robbers, two in number, were arrested on Wednesday in St. Louis. \ 7 On Saturday week Governor Johnsonad- dressed a Union meeting in Nashyille, Tenne see, taking strong ground in favor of immedi- ateemancipation. He declared slavery to be the source and cause of all our troubles, and said that he was opposed to compromise with it. Ww? Albert Pike, late a Brigadier General in the rebel army, and who resigned on account of increasing obesity, is, we see it stated, at present in retirement in Texas. And it is iurthermore said that he is now classed as be- ing rather friendly to the old Union. SENATOR FROM Kentucky.—Rev. Dr. Breck- inridge and Hon. Leslie Coombs are mentioned in connection with the United States Senator- ship from Kentucky, as the successor of Mr. Powell. Wuat Tue Revers Exrect oF VALLANDIG- HAM.—The traitorex-Lientenant Maury, in his recent letter to the London Times, apologizing Tor the recent rebel defeats, thus states what the rebels expect of Vallandigham : Vallandigiam waits and watches over the border, pledged —if elected Governor of the State | of Ohio—to ar: xy it against Lincoln and the war, | and to go for peace. hat the result of the elec- | tion there will be I cannot tell; but the canvass | is going on, and we know that oppesition to | Lincoln and his war party is growing more and more popular every day, and throughout the whole North. ‘Tux attention of our readers is respectfully invited to the advertisement of Messrs.

A Sensation Story—French and Federal Troops said to be Confronting Each Other on the Rio Grande. The New York Ezpress of Saturday has a budget of news, brought by the George Wash- ington frcm New Orleans, relative te the move- ments of Gen.Grant’s army, According to the news brought, it is said to be the belief in New Orleans that Grant’s expedition is not intended for Mobile, (as heretofore stated,) but that it willturn up at the mouth of the Rio Grande- This is the belief of rebel sympathizers, who are said to be always well posted. They are | likewise certain that the movement was to be marked by great celerity. They say some of the troops had already gone forward, and would be on Texas soil, as the nucleus of a great army of occupation there, before the George Wash- | ington could reach New York. The further talk among these wondertul wise | Rebel sympathizers was that this concentration | of Federal troops at the mouth of the Rio Grande, was in consequence of an anticipated Tupture of friendly relations between France | and the United States; that certain demands have been made of the Freneh Emperor, in re- to his recent ‘operations in Mexico, which, if rot satisfactorily complied with, | will be immediately follow by the invasion of thatcountry by the army of General Grant; that a secret understanding contemplating | some such invasion exists between President | | | Linceln and the fugitive Mexican President | Juarez; that, finally, a war between France and the United States, growing out of these complications, is now inevitable, &c., &c. The Express also has,information that the French having taken possession of Tampico, haye also sent a force to take possession of Matamoras. This city is opposite Brownsville, Texas, which latter place has for a long while Bee. If Grant's expedition therefore (argues the Ez- press) is going to the Rio Grande, the French and Federal forces will be brought face to face on the banks of that river. The news of the Express, however, « requires confirmation.” I. 0. 0. tend a special meet ing T| at7 o'clock, at Odd Fellows" Hall. for the purpose of making arran, ents ‘or the funeral of our late Brother FUE. 4 order of the Noble Grand it* CHAS.

SS Dispatches have been received in this city conveying the interesting and important in- formation that General Burnside has reached Kaoxville, and has seized the chief strategic points of Last Tennessee. = ie On the 4th instant a portion of Burnside’s cavalry occupied Knoxville. Others of his troops were at that time above and below Knoxville, on the lino of thé East Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, . . ‘? He bas also captured a large amount of val- able stores, trains, transyortation, &c,; and tie blow thus dealt to rébeldom, though ac- complished with slight loss of life and with- out any obstinste resistance on the part’of the enemy, is one of the first importance, enabling Burnside to co-operate with Rosecrans, giving us possession of the great central railroads, | the back-bone of the Qonfederacy, crippling the enemy irreparably in the way of supplies, rolling stock, &c., and bringing into our ranks hosts of the courageous Unionists of East Ten- nessee, who have persistently, at the hazard of life, refused to join hands with the rebels. The fact that Gen, Burnside has been able to accomplish these important results with so little fighting is a most significant and encoura- ging one, in itself,as going toshow the growing weakness of the enemy, who cannot, even for so important a - ‘ake as the possession of East Tennessee, (declared heretofore by the rebel presses as of vitak importance to the Confede- rate cause,) rally an opposing force.

The English frigate Medusa, bound from Nagasaki to Kan- agawa, by the Island passage, was attacked on the 15th of July by the forts and the vessels that Lad previously fired upon the American ship Pembroke. The Medusa received shots, and was much injured. She had four men killed and six wounded. Gn the 20th of July the American steamer ‘Wyoming arrived at Kanagawa from a trip to punish the Danio, whose vessels and forts fired upon the Pembroke. The Wyoming is reported to haye done her work well, having blown up the Japanese steamer Sancefield, and silenced nearly all the neighboring forts, and left the Japanese steamer Leneck in a sinking condi- tion. The Wyoming received twenty shots, and had five men killed and six wounded, when Bhe deemed it prudent to réturu to Kangawa: On the Mth of July, Admiral Jurey, in the British steamer Semiramis, returned to Kan- agawa, and is reported as having arrived with the Semiramis on the previous Monday in Si- mionseki Straits. The British steamer Credid received a fire from the Japanese battéries, which, with - the forts, were shelled for about three hours. One hundred and fifty-three British troops were then landed, who destroyed the forts, batteries and town, spiked the guns, and blew up the powder magazine. Buf little fight was shown by the Japanese after being shelled out of their forts, and what they did do was from behind the trees and points of rocks. Two thousand Japanese troops dre reported “to be descending towards the British vessels, butit was thought that they would not attempt to pass within range of the guns. Nothing at last accounts could be seen of the Japanese steamers Laneck and Sancefield, but the toprivasts of one of the sunken vessels. The casualties of the British in the last attack ‘was 3 killed.
