It came with a bad grace to talk about the loyalty of the democratic party and the maintenance of the constitution as it is. His colleague (Mr. Vallandigham) was the author of this add: life and animating spirit of the movement it contemplates. Ho reviewed the record of his ‘colleague, to show that tho latter made a declaration as early as 1860 that he would vote no money 40 putdown treason and rebellion, and he had lived up to it with religious fidelity. His colleague had relashed sthis speech on various occasions, finding fault with the “government, but not complaining agaitist the rebellion, ‘gud endeavoring to paralyze the energies of the govern- ment by telling the people they are hopelessly in debt. "He had uo doubt that the address inspired the camps of sSecession with joy. To talk of peace tends only to strengthen tho arms of the rebels, There can be no peace till they are subdued, not by compromise and con- *gossion, but by bullets and men. ‘THE GOVERNMENT DEBT.

Sketch of Natchez. Natchez was at one time the most populous and com mercial city of the State of Mississippi and capital of Adams county. It is situated on the east bank of the Mississippi river, about 289 miles above New Orleans, over 900 miles below St, Louis, about 500 miles trom Memphis and about 100 miles from Vicksburg. It is 100 miles from Jackson, the capitel of the State, in a direct southwestern airline. It is pleasantly situated on @ bluff, which rises about two hundred feet above theriver, affording an extensive view of tho immense cypress swamps of Louisiai ‘The surface of the ground in the city and in the adjacent country is undulating, and pre- sents a striking contrast with the flat surface of the op- posite side of the river, The streets of Natchez are wide and rectangular, and some of the public buildings are handsome. The private residerices are mostly built of wood, and many of them have flowor gardens and orange groves adjoining, Among the public buildings fre the Court House, five or six churches, a hospital, orphan asylum and masonic hall. Pre. vious to the rebellion several newspapers were publishedin the city, and had a tolerably good patron. age. Within afow years of the commoncement of this disastrous rebollion Natchez had increased cousidorably in importance and population, in consequence of its nu_ merous flourishing seminaries and its public schoo,, which was supported by a general taxation of the citi- zens. The latter averaged about five hundred pupils annually, Natchez was the centre of an extensive trade, of which cotton was the priucipal article. . Steamboats wore constantly arriving and departing from its wharves during its flourishing days; but, alas ! how changed has become its river view and river trade, The heavy ship" ping business used to be transacted in the lower part of the town, which part was designated “Natchez Under the Hill.” Tho Inst publiched#returns gave the popula- tion at about six thousand. Adams county is. situated in the southwestern part of the State, and has an area of about four hundred and forty square miles, or over two hundred and eighty thousand acres. Tho Mississippi river bounds it on the west, dividing it from Lovisiana and the Homschitto on the south. The county is not of any very great local importance further than its connec tion with the above-described city, and contains a po, pulation of about eighteen thousand persons. Sketch of Warrenton, Warrenton is a post village of Warrcn county, Missis- sippi, and is situated on the Mississippi river, about oight miles below Vicksburg, with which it is connected by a good turnpike road. It contains about four or five stores, and hada population of about two hundred and fifty per, sons when the rebellion broke out. The county is situated in tho western part of the State, bordering on Louisiana, and has an area of about soven hundred and twenty-flve square milos, or four hundred and sixty-four thousand acrea. It is bounded on the west by the Mississippi river, along the banks of which tho village is built. ‘The Big Black river flows along the southeast border, and the Yazoo river insorsects it. The surface of the country is generally level and low, except in the vicinity of Vicks- ‘burg, where the Walnut Hills rise several hundred feet above tho river. Thesoil is alluvial and very fertile, ‘The county is intersected by the Vicksburg and Brandon Rajlroad, and had a population at last returng of about eighteen thousand persons, of whom over two-thirds were slaves. Sketch of Vicksburg. Vicksburg is the capital of Warren county, Mississippi, and isacity and portof entry. It is situated on the ‘Mississippi river, three hundred and ninoty-five miles above New Orleans, and seven hundrod and ninety-nine below St. Louis. It is distant by water from Cairo about six hundred and thirty miles, and from Memphis nearly four hundred milce. It is also over a hundred miles above Natchez, and cight miles from Warrenton. ‘The distances to Vicksburg by rail, along the Southern Mississippi Railroad, &c., from the following places are also important at this time: From Jackson, Mississippi. From Grand Junetion, via Jac 257 From Coriuth, via Grand Junction and Jackson.298 « From Memphis, via Grand Junction and Jackson.309 + From New Orleans, via Jackson, From Moridian........ From Mobile, via Meridian “3 ‘The sitwation of the city is clevated, the ground un, oven, and the style of buildings far from being compact or elegant. Itcontains, besides the county buildings, four or five churches and several academies for both soxes. Three daily newspapers are published here, and had a very fair patronage previous to the rebellion. Vicksburg was, beforg the present troubles, the most commercial place on the river between Memphis and Natchez, and was an important mart for cot- ton, of which article about one hundred thousand bales were annually exported. The greater part of this used to bo received over the before mentioned railroad. ‘Stoambcats wero in the habit of plying regularly between New Orleans and Vicksburg, and did a thriving trade. A railroad has boon surveyed through Louisiana, from this place to Marshall, in Texas, via Shreveport, but is not yet completed farther than Monroe. The tonnage of this port, «bout two years since, was 21575 tons, earulled aud licensed,and employed in steam navigation. The rocoipts of cotton by railroad for three yoars weress follows:—In 1850, about fifty thousand bales; ia 1551, over sixty-two thousand, and im 1852, nearly nivety thousand, These numbers have greatly inereased up 10 1860. The population in 1850 was 3,678, being an in. crease of one in six over that of 1840. News from Newbern, N.C. ARRIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES STEAM TRANSPORT GORGE PEAHODY. The United States steain transport Georgs Peaboiy, Capt. W. H.

On the 18th inst. the Spanish man-of war steamer Ferrol arrivod from Puerto Plata, in St, Domingo, with troops, having also on board his Excelloncy General Alfau. From what we have learnod tho greatest tran- quillity reigned in the whole of that province. ‘The English merchant steamer Edward Hawkins ar- rived on the same day from Matamoros, with cotton, but did not bring any news of importance from the Rio Grande. According to letters received from Vera Cruz, nearly the whole of the Spanish forces have been re-embarked there for Havana, except some artillery trains and the sick soldiers. The following is a translation of a letter received from a person at the headquarters of General Almonte:— Canapa px Ixtara, April 30, 1862. Dear Sm-—By the last mail I informed you that tho Heights of Aculzingo had been taken by the French, and to-day I have little to add. The defence of tho Generals Zaragoza, Arteaga and Negrote was vory foeb!o, although their combined forces consisted of 5,000 men and they occupied very strong positions. To-day it is said that the army of Juarez is being concentrated in Puebla, and that the samo will amount to upwards of 10,000 men. I am gorry for the town of Puebla. In the aforesaid battle on the Heights of Aculzingo the French had only one Zouave killed and fifty men wound- ed, partly Zouaves and partly Chassours of Vincennes, these being the only two corps that took part in the ac- tion. Their adversaries took to their heels, leaving be- hind their artillery, arms, ammunition, &e. SAN AUGUSTIN DEL PaLMAR, May 1, 1962. ‘Wo have just arrived hete—eleven o’clock—and saved this place from the flames. Since we left Ixtapa we have seen nothing but columns of smoko all the way. ‘Three hundred horsemen, that were flying before us ata distance of about six miles, were burning everything ‘before thom, and all the farms and huts were burning as we passed them. This was done by orders of Juarez, to prevent us from finding any support or resting place on the way. To prevent any moro of these barbarous acts ‘We sent a detachment of cavalry after them, and thus prevented their setting fire to this place; but our horse- ‘men succoeded in cutting down only one of their dra- goons, as they fled with ail g; 5 ° GuRougLis, May 2, 1862.

Others say that y are likely to do so at Chulalpa, which is the place whore Genoral Miramon was defeated. The latter place ig near to Mexico. As we shall be in Puebla the day after to-morrow, we shall soon know for certain where the battle is bad to take ‘We learn from the Canary Islands that there is no hope of saving the Spanish mail steamer Cantabria, which got ul there some time ago. ‘The streets of Havana are now improving much as regards tho pavement, which for many years past has been in an awful state, ospecially during the rainy sea- son, when they looked more like canals than streets, ‘The writer of this was very nearly drowned last summer, when going home to dinner ina cab, ‘tho improvemouts are, however, far from going on as rapidly as could be desired or expected, considering the large sums of money Granted for this purpose. According to letters received from Merida, the capital of Yucatan, of the 28th April, tho State Legisiature of that city had closed the sessious on the 27th ult., after having boen occupied for some time chiefly with mattors concerning the interior department and economy of that ‘State—such'as, for instance, the elections, tho adminis- tration of justice, publie education, the responsibility of judges, and suppression of judicial costs, &c. It appears, Teen the reposta of the civil and military authorities of Valladolid, Izamal, Ticul, Kspita and ‘Tizimia, that the order of’ things remained unbroken in those places as well as in Merida. We learn from St. Domingo that a echeme is on foot for establishing a railroad between Santiago and the Bay Siisomana, in the said island; and it is talked uf making Samana a free port, like that of St. ‘Thomas. ‘The Queen of Spain has approved of a plan for the con- struction of a new ceinetery at Havana.

The port, as it is now, is capable of holding about 10,000 ships, and it is calculated that 7,600 ships enter the port every your, or say twouty overy on an average. It has been suggested at the same time to convert @ cortain unhoulthy and filthy quarter of the town into a dock, which would be of great iinportanee, even if we merely look at it ina sanitary point of view. ‘The public health is at present very good.
