TELEGRAPHIO NEWS. , FROM EUROPE, London Times om American Affairs—No Mexican Territery Ceded France—Ree cognition of the South not Contempia- te acres erders for Torpedees Counter- manded. New York, March oT steamship Ouhba, three days later from Europe, brings the fol- lowing items: The Army and Navy Gazette says the Con- federate Government has countermanded large ordérs for torpedoes. The London Times has an editorial on the oficial accounts of the recent conference, and points significantly to Secretary Seward’s ad- mission that the proposition for a combined effort atsome extrinsic poliey or scheme was deliberately considered, and concedes that the North came best out of the affair. Jtsays the arbitrament of war is accepted afresb, with more desperate determination. We deplore the result,” itadds, «batit must be more evi- cent than ever that neutrality, if we are but ellowed to maintain it, is the only policy tor England.” The Paris correspondent of the Times gives a report that France has assured the American Government that there is no trnth in the re- ported cession of Mexican territery. It is more of a lien on the produce of certu.cn mines as ge- eurity for the French expenses. He also repu- diates the rumors of 1 contemplated recog- nition of the South by Napoleon. 3 Lonvon, Feb. 24, eyening.—Consols closed at SO \,ace, for money. eee FROM THE SOUTH aan Extracts from the latest papers—No Mili- tary News Reported. — Reported Defeat of Sherman.

Before leaving, our force removed and de- stroyed ail public property of every kind.

They were al! brought off d sent up the country, with the exception of sixty-five, who were too sick to be removed, snd were of course left behind. Tlearn that our authorities, before leaving the town, seized and brought off all the horses, ‘WAgons, negro Men, and all white men be- tween the ages of seventeen and fifty years that they could get. All our troops escaped except a detachment of Mosby’s battery and two reg- iments of Hapgood’s (S. ©.) brigade, number- ing 1,100 men. These were captured, how or when I do not know. The place was defended to the last, and only evacuated when ihe pressure of an oyer- whelming force of the enemy rendered it neces- sary. On Wednesday evening tiie whole army began to move. Their numbers and present purpose it would not be prudent to mention. They wiil be heard from in good time. No Official News from any Quarters. {From the Richmond Dispatch, March 6.} We are étill without official news from any quarter. The usual quiet preyails upon the lines in this vicinity, though thereturn of good weather leads us to expect that the quiet will socn be broken. Roads in the country dry ina few days, and Grant {is said to be waiting only fer tim roads te make another atiempt to seize the Southside railroad, Proceedings in Rebel Congress on Satur- day. in the Contederate States Senate, Mr. Gra- ham, of North Carolina, presentea joint reso- lutions passed by the Gen 3 North Carolina, protesting, in any emergency ihat can possibly arise,against the arming of Slaves, and denying the constilutional power of the Confederate Geyernment to impress slayes for the purpose of arming them or pre- paring them to be armed, in any contingency, without the consent of the States be firet given, and then only sccording to State laws. Mr. Graham presented another resolntion, passed by the General Assembly of North Car- olina. calling og their Senators and Represen- tutiyes to nse their best eiforts to have the pro- yort guards removed from that State, on the ground that they are perfectly useless there, 4re an annoyance to the people, and could per- form to better advantage in the field, In the House of Representatives a bill was passed suthorizing the President to raise a-yol- ubteer force? from such persons &s are not now liable to milit service, and who will volun- teer temporarily for the defence of Richmond, such yoluuteers to be formed into companies and battalions, {o be on the same footing as Contederate troops, but not tobe marched fur- ther fromthe city than the inner line of en- trenchmoents without their consent.

Frivay, March 3.--The Senate was called to order at If o'clock a.m. by the President, Lieu ant Governor Price motion ot Mr. Hunter, the “‘ouse joint Ms, expressing the sentiments of the eneral Assembly ip regard co the execution, the authorities of the United States, of Cap- nm John Yates Beail, and recommending the adoption of such steps as may be nec ary in retaliation for the offence, were taker np. Mr. Hunter regretied that retaliatory meas- ures had not been adopied in the earlier stages of this war; and that, when certain prisoners in our hands had been seiected for the purpose, the orders which had been given had not been strictly and rigidly adhered to. Had such a course been pursued much good would pave resulted. No purer, no more patriotic and honorable man ever existed than John Yates Beall. Mr. Hunter had known him from child- hood, and had watched his conrse until the bour of martyrdom. Hed Beall been properly sided by the Navy Departioent when he was in this city act year. Mr. Hunter verily believed. an expedition which he then had planned would have suecessiully released every Con- er on Johnson’s Island. But “rosin, turpentiné, cotton, &c. iG inene tederate p: red tape had kaitied Capt. Beall in his laudable echemes. Our young Virginiun has becomea martyr; and it becomes as, if we dono more, to embalm his memory by giving expression to ihe estimation in which he is held in his native State The resolutions were unanimousty adopted. Extremes of Popular Feeling. {From Richmond Examiner, March 6.) Two very extraordinary exhibitions of popu- lar feeling are now to bewwitnessec respectively in the Novih and in the South, In the former they have @ loan before the people, which goes off with the rapidity unprecedented in the history of sueh affairs. The sale of bonds in ali the States is declared to reach an aggre. gate of seven millions a day. The loan is rendered thus popular by the small denomina- tions of the bonds, the high interest they bear, but more especially the general belief which prevails that the war is nearly atan end, and that the present is the last loan in so tempt- ing a form which ~~ ill be offered to the public. AttheSouth2 . pular subscription is just fet on foot whica A hperres to outstrip the Northern project in enthusiasm of the re- sponse which it elicits. The subscriptim which, at the su,gestion of the public, has been opened by the Secretary of the Treasury, is quite different in form. It proposes dona- tions to the Government of funds and property ofevery form. A large capitalist leads off with a subscription of $200,000 im cbrrency, coupling his proffer with the condition that twenty-four others shall make a like donation. The challenge will be acepted, and the five million dollars thus realized by the Govern- men: will be employed in paying off General Leele ary Jxtremely liberal subscriptions haye bean made of Uonfederate bonde, silver plate, cora eupplies, and other commodities of like value, Thestriking feature of these donations is that they are absolute gifts to the cause for which the Government is not required to account in the future. From the indications manifested in every direction, these voluntary donations, these gift offerings of the people, bid fair to be very considerable in amount, and will probably seach several hundred millions of doliars in value. An important part of the scheme contem- lates a contribution of rations for General ee’s ATMy, upon a plan so simple and prompt in its execution as to insure success. These exhibitions of patriotic liberality will bave a great effect upon the army, and through the army upon the campaign about to open in terrible earnest. When the soldiers know that the people at home are making heavy contribu- tions of their means to the common cause, and devoting all in their power, even trenching upon their subsistence tosupport andencour- age their own exertions in the field, anew spirit will seize them, and gratifying results must soon ensue. Drowned. ' From the Richmond examiner, March 6.] ym. H. Kay wood, of t ignal corps,natve of Washington, D. ©., was drowned in the Po- tomac river at Matchias’ Point, while engaged in the prosecution of his perilous occupation. Mr. Kay wood was one of the most adventur- cus and daring of all connected with the signal corps, cnd his exploits have been of in- valuable service to the Government. He leaves a wife and family in Maryland, and is well known in Government circles in Rich- mond. Alexandria Affairs. {From the Alexandria Journal of Wednesdsy.} We give below the result of the election of corporation officers which occurred in this city yesterday. By the vote given for the re- spective candidates for Mayorit will be seen thatthe total yote cast was 253—a very light vote indeed. Had the contest been an excited one from five to eight hundred yotes might haye been polled. The following are the re- turns of the various wards: First Ward—For Mayor—Charles A. Ware, 40; Col. Dulaney, 26. For Councilmen—Lewis McKenzie, 61; W.J.Cowing, 60; Ohas. L. Neale, 52: Samnel Baker, 55:L. D. Harmon, 13; Major Cheeney, 9. Second Ward—For Mayor—Chas. A. Ware, 57; Col. Dulaney, 26.

Gough was arrested for signaling rebels, who were con- cealed near his house, And who afterwards made am attack upon our forces, but were re- pulsed, J. G. Gaw is a nephew of Charles Green, of Greenwich, England, and it is said to be @ no- torious rebel , Passengers who arrived here yesterday on the Dictator, state that when they left City Point it was currently reported there that Fitz Hugh Lee was inside of the fortifications ad- joining this city, with eight thousand cavalry, Another report circulated in this city last eve- ning, equally as fabulous, was to the effect that Mosby had captured a large dumber of ‘wood choppers, between this city and Annan- dale, together with several wagon trains, en- gaged in the transportation cf wood to this city. Both reports were witheut the least foundation in fact. Such reports are excellent food for the secesh of this city, who circulate them most industrionsly. ‘Tbe fish market continues to be well sup- plied with rock fish, white and yellow perch, carp, &c. The prices are daily ranging lower, fas the fishing season approaches.
