The State Convention, which assembled on the Sth instant, had about com- pleted its labors.

He has reasons to doubt the truth of the report that Lee has reintoreed Longstreet. No active operations need be expecied in that vicinity for weeks.

A steam- bost, while coming up the river the day pre- vicus to the firing, was brought to by the rebels with a heavy battery. The steamer landed on the opposite side of the river, and the crew fled in the forest. A large party of rebels had just embarked in dug- outs and canoes to cross over and take posses- sion, When a gunboat appeared and fired at them with canister ard grave. The enemy re- tired and scattered into the bushes. The steam- boat's crew then came back and took the bot, up the river. The boats name is the Delta. It is reported that (Quentrell was at this point with 1500 men and 6,000 stand of arms desirous of crossing to the Mississippi side of the river to co operate with Forrest.
