10 THE VICTORY AT CORINTH. The Advance of the Army and the Coun- try Passed Over Graphi- cally Described. Heavy Skirmishing Along the Lines of the Hostite Forces. The Assault on the Rebel Intrenchments. EXPLOSION OF THE ENEMY’S MAGAZINES Flight of the Rebels and Occupation of the Town by the Union Fortes, &e., &., &e. Our Special Army Correspondence. CoxxT#, Miss., May 30, 1862. ‘Tho great event for which we have so long been wait- ing, and in whose anticipation the country has for weeks @tood in breathless anxiety, has at last transpired. After spending six weeks in making an advance of twenty miles, and lying, day after day, witbin sight of the rebel camp fires at Corinth, our army has entered the intrenchments lately held by the enemy, and hoist- ed the Union flag in another triumph of the Union arms. The army of the rebels, which stood fac» to face with ours since its reygeat from Shiloh on the 7th vf April, and made repeated boasis of our annihilation thould we dare to attack its chosen lines, is fleeing before our triamphant soldiers in all the desponcency of defeat and disgrace. Its commanding general, whose vaunt ings over the capture of Sumter have but lately ceased, is heading the retreating array, witha fixed determina, tion to quench the thirst of his equine quadruped in some obscure head ktream of the waters that flow into Mobile Bay. Corinth is ours, and the confederacy has come to grief. ENEMY PREPARING TO RETREAT. For some days before the final grand moyement of ‘We Army of the Mississippi it was apparent to many careful observers that the enemy was making prepara- tions for falling back either tothe south or wost. It ‘was ascertained that Columbus,a small unimportant ‘town situated on the Tombighbee river, near the eastern Doundary of Mississipp1, had been contemplated by ‘General Beauregard as a proper place of retirement in ease of defeat. Columbus is at the head of navi- gation on the Tombigbee, and is accessible by steamboats ‘through a large portion of the year. A railroad, about Mreen miles in length, extends to it from a point en the Mobile and Obio Railroad, one hundred miles south of Corinth, and about two hundred miles north of Mobile. General Beauregard did not fail to see the importance of ® town which furnished both river and rail communica- tion with the larger remaining portion of the con- federacy. Aberdeen, still higher up on the Tombigbee, had been selected by General Bragg; Dut his choice was speedily overruled by the ‘Major General-in-Chief. Small bodies of troops had oc- cupied Columbus and commenced the erection of works ‘Of defence nearly two weeks previous to the evacuation of Corinth. Okoloua,on the Mobile and Obio Railroad bout balf way from Corinth to Columbus, was consid- @red a place easily capable of defence, and fortifications ‘were commenced there but afew days before the final ‘exodus. It has been known for some time throughout the North ‘that Grana Junction, thirty-five miles west of Corinth, @t the point of intersection of the Memphis and Charleston and the Mississippi Raidroads was rapidly Deing put in condition to hold against an enemy. The Mobile and Ohio road, to the south of Corinth, and the Memphis and Charleston road, west of that point, o”- fered the rebels two lines of retreat; and it was difficult ‘to determine which they would prefer. The former ‘would carry them down into Dixie, where they ‘would be cut off from Western Tennessee and Arkansas, their principal sources of supply, and where they would be too far removed from Memphis to affMrd it any assistance when ever it might be threatened by the Union forces from above. On the otber hand, they would be thrown nearer to Charleston and Mobile, and in easier communication with Richmond in case it were desired to transfer troops from one to tho other of the two great armies of the con federacy. Besides, they would be in position to draw supplies directly from and within the cotton States which hitherto had not been occupied either by an in- ‘vading ofa defending army. At thesame time they would ‘be drawing the unacclimated Northern troops into a region where yellow fever and other epidemic diseeses Of the South would speedily thin their ranks and render their position untenable. If they retreated to Grand Junction they would still hold all the railway connec- tions to the South, save the Mobile and Ohio, and would be in position to protect Memphis and render the ap- Proach of General Curtis from Arkansas an excoedingly hazardous movement. Vicksburg could not be perma, mently occupied, so long as an immense rebol force heki Grand Junetion and its vicinity. With that point in his control General Beauregard could still draw upon Arkansas and Western Tennessee for supplies of corn and pork for the use of his greatarmy. That such a contin gency was long since foreseen ts made evident by the embargo laid in December last upon the shipment of either the above great staples to any point south of Mem. phis, Tennessee. Quantities of corn and pork still re. main fa Northern Arkansas that long since would have found their way to the Natchez and New Orleans markets, ‘With Memphis in rebel hands this supply would still be @rawn upon even though a portion of it might fall into tho hands of the Union army in ‘he extreme Southwest. Arkansas and Tennessee, the ‘twe food-producing States of;the Mississippi valley por- alon of the confederacy, would be lost by # retreat to the southward, while they would be partly retained by the ocoupation of Grand Junction. In either cage retreat ‘would hem the rebels into narrower limits, whilo it ‘would draw the federal army further from its base or ‘@perations. “Under which Bing, Bezonian?’ was the great question with the Corinth council of war during ‘the final weeks of May. ATTEMPT TO RAG THR GAME. General Halleck had been for @ long time almost ‘Within sight of the enemy’s lines before it was dis- Covered that a retreat was intended. His generals were divided in their views as to the best and most certain mode of operations against the large army in their front. Some favored the policy of immediate advance upon the enemy's works, end felt certain that they should not fail of suocess. When the army ‘was first set down before Corinth it was gen- erally believed. that the rebel defences were very slight, bit tbat become stronger om days and woeks rolled away. General Hallock confidently stated that it was his intention to take Corinth wiinout loss, and with it capture Boa uregard’s entire army only desiring time to acoomplish this undertaking. The cutiing of the Mem- phis and Charleston Railroad by General Mitchell was Jooked apon as one step toward this object, as was also the destroction of soveral bridges and a mile of track om the Mobile and Ohie road, north of Corinth, How to got at their railroads to the west end south was the most puzzling question, and one to which ail were anxiously awaiting « solation. The starving out policy in reference to the army was not considered feasible as long as the rebels had the fertilo portions of Tennossce and Arkansas open to thoit do- mands. Some wise ones shook their heats, and mani- fested many fears that wo should not be able to capture in toto « gigantic army, cutting it of from its lines of Feinforcemont apd retreat, without a batile, in which both parties would sustain severe jus, Others believed that we should speedily com. plete our cordon around the insurgent stronghold, and when ouee completed our triumph was certain, OUR BLOW ADTARNCE. From the time when the first advance wae ordered, dtucr the confusion subsequent to the battle of the 6th ‘ and’ Jth of April had passed away, onr movements order of battle, save that on some occasions several bad | away. breaks of openings were left between different corps as they advanced. Between this point and Monterey seve- ral lizes of intrenchments were thrown up, 00 position boing left unprotected by some kind of earthwork or abattis, Our final live was made nearly a week since within shelling distance of the enemy’s works, and al- most within range of the centre of the town of Coriuth. ‘These works were made stronger than usual, as it was thought that the rebels might make a sortio in forco upon our position and attempt to break our lines. Night after night along our whole front the men lay upon their arms ready to put them to service at a moment’s warn- ing. Artillery horses were kept in harness and standing at the limbers; and so prudent were many of the com- manders that in some batteries they allowed but a single team to be absent to water at any one time. An immense picket force was thrown out, and orders issued to stop the ordinary picket firing, and discharge pieces only when there was an actual advance of the enemy towards our lines. This was designed toaid usin getting warning of the rebel movementsshouldany actually occur, and the firing of a musket was to be the signal for a rush toarms. ‘The lines of the opposing armies were so moar that re- ports of the euemy’s rities wero often mistaken for our own, and many needless alarms was the consequent result, The arrangement served to keep the army con- stantly on the watch for hostile demonstrations, and, thongh it might add'to the fatigue of the troops, it ren- dered it impossible to take us by surprise. DESCRIPTION OF THE COUNTRY. The ground over which we have moved during the past six weeks has often been described in general terms by writers from the Shiloh batt'e fleld. At Pittsburg Landing, nearly twenty-five miles to our rear, the bluffs at the river's edge rise abruptly upwards of a hundred feet in height. Back of these biuifs the high land stretches away from the stream, and is cut up by humerous raymes, their general course being paralicl to each other at right angles with the river. Those ravines form in the rainy season the water,courses of the ro" gion, and in early April were the abundant sources from which our soldiers derived their supply of water. At present they are generally dry and pafched, though in some of thom water can be obtained by digging. The high ground is not level, but undulates gently, embracing in its wavy outlines the ravines running back from the river, so that four or five miles from the banks of the stream they are arbsorbed and disappear. Farther inland the country becomes more broken, pre- senting a varicd surface of rough ridges and steep banked ravines ; level areas, extending two or three miles in either direction; valleys through which meander small and sluggish streams,and an occasionally rolling ox- panse, like the lightest swell of the ocean waves, made fixed and permanent. Over all this cx- tent of country nature has thrown a heavy growth of oak and hickory, usually with but little underbrush. The trees are for tha most part talland stately, and of a size that aimost makes those of many portions of the far East appear like shrubs, Their foliage, which is now in the height of its summer beau- ty, is of that rich, dark tint pecular to the land of the cypress and myrtle and rarely seen under the colder sky of the North. But little of this tlmber has been cut away, and the forest from Pittsburg to Corinth stretches almost unbroken in its wild luxuriance, An occasional corn or cotton field reveals itself, but far less than a tenth of the land has been disturbed even by an enclosure. Near Corinth farms occur more frequently than elsewhere, and in the vicinity of the town a swamp is encountered of considerable extent, which forms the margin of a diminutive brook, exulting in the appellationof Ten Mile creek. The retirement of the enemy from this swamp enabled us to bridge it a whatever point we chose, and construct any number 0, roads to our liking. Crossing this swamp high ground ist reached, with atew projecting hills, and, continuing on, .we find Corinth, on. pleasant gwell of land, with two considerable elevations within its limits, and an im- passable swamp for its southern boundary. MOVEMENTS EARLY IN THE WEEK. On Monday, the 6th inst,, word was brought iatocamp that Beauregard was evacuating Corinth; that he had ordered his commissary and quartermaster’s stores to be sent away, after distributing five days’ rations to the army.” He had already commenced. the shipment of his heavy guns, and several of his intrenchments, evidently designed for artillery of larger calibre, were known to be mounted with light twelve-pounders. Fire was from time to time opened by our batteries, to which the response was comparatively feeble. The ene my’s pickets were strengthened, and presented an unbroken front wherever we attempted to survey them, and, as far as appearances went towards ae- ceiving us their line,"gave evidence of strengthening rather than of diminution. Though they acted in ac- cordance with our rule to avoid picket shooting as much as possible, they nevertheless opened a severe fire whenever one of our men was bold enough to step a half dozen paces in front of his post. Deserters from the enemy's ranks became few and far between, owing partly to the powerful picket guard thrown out, and partly to the removal of a large portion of the army, so that there was literally nothing left to desert fiom. The few stragglers that did come in brought various reports, most of them ayverring that an attack would be made upon usas early as Wed nesday or Thursdey morning, and that we might kok for an immense force to be thrown out against us, The events of the weck give strong grounds for a suspicion that these deserters were purposely sent over to deceive” us, and put our force on the defensive to prevent a possi bility of our attacking them ona retreat. We earefully awaited thetr onset, while they were quietly removing toa more secure point. Skirmishing to a conskterable extent took place cn Monday afternoon, principally on the left of our lines, evidently designed to prevent Gen. Pope from advancing to the oecupation of rebel works ia his front. Gen. Thomas’ corps on the right was also slightly engaged near the close ef the afternoon, but the centre was comparatively undisturbed. OPERATIONS OF TUR'DAY. Early on Tuesday morning a shot froma twelve.pound- er on the rebel right opened the engagement of the day in front of Gen. Pope. The latter officer immediately re- plied from his heavy guns in position, and at one time ordered out bie infantry to charge upon the enemy's works. He was exceedingly anxiéue to make an ad- vance, and felt the fullest confidence that he could conquer a peace in his front, and occupy the rebel in- trenchments. But the orders from General Halleck wero most positive in forbidding an engagement to be brought op under any circumstances, and Genera! Pope was obliged to restrain his ardor and content himsely with ordering his troops into # stationary line of battle. Light skirmishing was kept up at intervals during the day, and the irregular cracking of musketry was often silenced by the deeper roar of siege guns and field arti. lery of the heavier calibres. Uccasionally there could be secn the glinting of long files of bayone® along the edge of the timber that marked the rebel front, and omr troove often stood in ¢: pectation of a dash from the cover which sh tered their enemy. They were doomed to disappoint’ ment; for no attempt was made to drive back our front, and the insurgent forces appeared only desirous of hold- ing their own ground secure from attack or threat. All this time Goneral Pope was chafing for opportunity to try their steel, and but fer the imperative ordors to the contrary he would have made an advance in force, and attempted at least to possess himself of the euemy’s right wing. Thero were but few casualities during the day, as tho firing had not been at any time severe. Twomen of the Twenty-sevonth Obio were kfled in the skirmish. ing of the afternoon, and four from the same regiment were wounded, one of thom quite seriously. Three others in various regiments were killed during the day, and some six or eight wounded. But one man was injured by the enemy’s artilery fire,a private managing one of the sioge guns, and whose name I did not ascertain, boing truck by a piece of shell, At last accounts he still sur- vived, though there wore little hopes of his reeovery. A soldier of the Thirty-ninth Ohio, who was in the front with the skirmishers, took @ small flag bolong- ing to his company, and walked forward sevoral rods in advance of bis line, Planting the staff in the ground, he wavod his hat and oalled for a ¢heor for the old banner, Hie comracies behind him responded with a hearty B04 will, while the rebel misaites fell thick and fast around the lone hero in the foreground. When the cheering was ended he deliberately took op the flag and returned slowly to his lines, exeapiny wwhort from the shower of bullets that had been poured around him, THE CRETE AND mGHT, On the contre the onemy were loss netive than on the left, thovgh General Nelson's division had at times nome revere skirmishing with the ontlyis wor very slow.

Gen. Buell, was of opinion that the in- trenchments in his front could be carried; but, like Pope on bis left, he wag restrained by etrict orders. The eforts and observations of the day showed that the greater force of the rebels lay upon the wings, as also the stronger defensive works. General Beauregard displayea a special anxiety to protect his flanks from assault, and had consequently weakened hia centre toa considerabl? extent. Heevidently held to the theory that so long as the wings of a convex line of defence remain intact, a demonstration against its centre will not cause a mate- rial injary. Price and Van Dorn were supposed to bo holding bis right, opposed to General Pope, while Bragg was on the left, in opposition to General Thomas’ corps. Major General Polk commanded the centre, under the direct supervision of General Beauregard, POMTION ON THE RIGHT, On the right General Thomas was keeping up a de- suitory firc upon the skirmishing and heavy picket parties of the enemy, and occasionally from General Sherman, on the extreme right, sending a missile from the heavy guns in position, and throwing shell and round shot plump into the enemy’s works. Major Cavender’s battalion of First Missouri light artillery, under Captains Stone, Welker and Rich- ardson, were in battery in range of the rebel iutrench- ments, and made their long Parrott guns tell with con- siderab‘e effect. Their firing was exceedingly slow, in accordance with orders from headqyarters, and towsrds the middle of the afternoon it was consed altogether. Only the heavy guns were thea permitted to keep up the encounter at long-taw, and the booming of these was only heard at considerable” intervals. General Sherman” was securo in his position, the samo that he occupied scveral days since, and the Mief endeavor was to hold it ga‘ely, aud merely amuse without annoying the enemy. There were but few casu- alties on the right wing during the entire day, not more than a half dozen in all. One of Captain Stono’s artil” lerymen was struck by a fragment of an exploding she'l, which tore away nearly one half his blouse, but inflicted no injury upon his person, Colonel Sweeny, who was wounded at Wilson creek and Pittsburg Landing, nar- rowly escaped receiving a third wound in the war for the suppression of the rebollion. As he was riding near the front, to survey thr enemy’s picket lines, an Enfield ball passed between his arm and his horso’s neck, barely missing the former. TUESDAY NIGHT. On the night of Tuesday a general attack was appre- hended atong the whole line as soon as daybreak should give sufficient light to enable the enemy to move upon us. Information to this effect was received from a few straggling deserters who came in from time totime m the earlier part of the woek. It is now evident that they were purposely sent here to deceive us with re- gard to their movements, and the sequel shows that the mancuvre was successful. The heavy picket and skirmishing parties thrown out on Mon- day and Tuesday were only to cover their real movement, and prevent any intelligence of their flight trom reaching our ears. Had we known on Wednesday that the rebels were withdrawing from Corinth, we could have fal en’ upon them in force, and completely cut up and destroyed whatever remained. During the night the men lay upon their arms, ready at the firet tap Of the drum to fall im line and engage in battle. General Halleck fully expected that our front would be assailed, and had made his preparatiens accordingly. Every- where were strong guards carefully noting every aspect of the ground before them, and anx- jously awaiting the first sound of a hostile advance, DAWN ON WEDNESDAY. Day dawned with no signs of a demonstration on either side, ‘The rebels held their old position of the day pre- vious, and did not soem imeclined to change it for one nearer Corinth, while our strong front ‘rendered it some- what hazardous for the rebels to move towards Pitts- burg Landing. The day openod with heavy artillery fire from both our wings, shortly followed ‘by a cannonade from the centre. Un the left was Pope with his heavy Parrott guns and long- thirty-twos, and on the right, Sherman with hie heavy siege batteries. In the .cemtre Buell was supplied with some heavy Dahlgren guns and amumber of twenty- four-pounders. The rebels replied with twelve and eigttcen-poonders on the right and Jeft, and with two eight-inch howitzers and some large field guns in tho centre, There was but little musketry firing during the day, the engazement, like that of the day previous, being mainly eonducted with heavy guns. Uur fire was slow and steady till about cleven in the forenoon, when it nearly cased, to be resumed agam with vigor in the afternoon, ‘The firing of the rebel batteries was quite feeble, though their guns were generally well aimed. ‘Their fire, like ours, slackened towards midday, and was once more opened in the afternoon. Toward mightfali afew regi- ments of infantry on the right becameengaged, but their contest was of short duration, each party retiring within its own lines after three or four rounds had been fired. The loss of the day was but trifling, being heaviest on the left wing. The night was passed, like the preceding one, in anxious expectation of attack ‘by Beauregard’s army in fall force. ‘THE MORNING OF THCRSDAY. On the morning of Thursday our men patiently waited the onset for a full hour afier sunrise; but finding that the rebels were disposed to act only on tho defensive, it was at last determined to move against them. General Pope commenced shelling the works in his front, and at the same time our centre and right opened on the force opposite them. On the right wing, in additicn to the contest of the heavy guns, was heard the sharp rattle of musketry, which continved at intervals until nise o'clock in the morning, when it almost entirely coased, Nelson apd MeCook’s divisions in the cen- tre were engaged for a brief space, but the results were unimportant. General Sherman, oo the right, advanced his position about three hundred yards, and most of the other divisions in General Thomas’ corps followed his example. About seven in the morning General Pope opened a vigorous cannonade ona rebel earthwork in front of his left wing, using principally his beavy artillery, The enemy returned his fire with six twelve and two eighteen pounders, and though many of their shot fell short, the rebel gunners showed that they understood the handling of artillery. At the commencement of the cannonade there was @ slight breeze from the northwest, but the firing had the usual effect of deadening the wind, and within fifteen minutes from the beginning of the action there was not a breath of air stirring, save an occasional gust sweeping away the clouds of smoke for a moment. The wooded ground where the action took place became shrouded im a dense fold, but the firing still went on without interruption. A large flag had floated deflantly from the staif, in the cen- tre of the rebel battery, but after an hour's firing it was hanled down and the guns removed. The guns were taken away while the battery was en. veloped in smoke. At the moment when the cloud lifted and General Pope perceived the situation, he in- stantly ordered ® charge, in the hope of capturing the artillery before it could be entirely taken away. The infantry advanced and went over tho breastworks in flue style, cheering as they entered the intrenchments, Major Noyes, of the Thirty-ninth Ohio, was the first officer within the works, and was conspicuous in leading forward the men. It was @ moment too late for the capture of the guns, as the enemy had succeeded in dragging them to @ place of safety. The work we had cocupied was a simple field fortification of a crescent shape, with four rude bastions for mounting cannon, It was not of great strength, and could have been takea by a vigorous assault of infantry supported by artillery, The capture of this fortification was the only achievement of the day, and, save the con. tinuous cannonade, there was nothing of interest until night closed the sceno and put an end to the conflict. RXPLOSIONS IN THR REWEL LINK, It wos during the night that wo first became fully aware that the enomy was determined upon evacuating Corinth, At nine o’clook last evening, a tre mendous explosion rent the air and shook the earth for miles around, which we this morning learned was the blowing up of the large magazine in the southward part of the town, Firat there came a flash, as if the whole heavens wero lighted ap with one ovorspreading glare of lightning, then came 4 crashing re- port like a thousand pieces of artillery discharged at the same instant, and finally a huge dense cloud of smoke could be seen rolling up towards the southwostern sky, and arching over the land below like an enormous pail, This was followed by smaller oxplosions through. ‘out the night, in which various warchouses and build- ings containing commissary and quartermaster stores wore blown up, a8 there was not sufficient transportation to take the supplies away, Lastly, the magazines in the various forts wore blown up, and when morning dawned the work pf destruction wag sill going om, Ag soon as it was light enongh to commence operations our batteries opened along our entire line, and the whole place was vigorously shelled. At the same time an ad, vance of the infantry aud ficld artillery was ordered, and the men pressed eager!y’ (0 tho front. About half- post six Colone! Morgan L. Smith’s brigade, of Sherman's division, which occupied the extreme right, reached the northern edge of tho town, and at the same time the ex- treme loft of General Pope’s corps came up ob the south. Our line thus formed a completo semicircle around Corinth, with all parts ready at the same mo- ment to move forward, General Pope and General Sherman entered the town alinost at the same moment, and took possession of the great stronghold of the rebels in the Mississippi valley. Major McDonald, of the Eighth Missouri, and Lieutenant Colonel Ross, of tho Seventh Illinois, c’aim to have been the firat men within the corporate limits of the city. WHAT WAS FOUND IN CORINTH, But few porsovs were found in Corinth at the time our forces entered. A few inhabitants—perhaps twenty in all—wero the only remaining representatives of the entire population of the town, One old lady rushed out td the first of our olficers that met her gaze and presented a safeguard given her by the rebel com. mander, It announced as her individual property a housefull of bacon, which the Confederates had given her in exchange for some cattle thoy had slaughtered for their own uso. General Nelson puta guard over the bui'ding, and the title of ownership will be decided at leisure. The last of the rebels had departed about the time we commenced shelling the town, aftor setting fire to some twenty buildings, principally storeroome, for robel supplics. Some of them, before their with- drawal, indulged their love of the facetious by posting up numerous signs of “House to let,” “Lot for sale,” and others of similar import. WHAT WE CATTORED. Our captures are exceedingly meagre. We tock no artillery, with tho exception of two useless and disearded iron pieces; we took no munitions of war, and the only supplies that have come into our possession are a few lots of provisions, most. ly in a damaged condition. Much of the pork and flour that the rebels could not take away was dis- posed of by piling it around kogs of powder, and then exploding the latter. The whole amount of military stores taken will be very small. About twenty build” ings have been fired, but the remainder of the town is uninjured and will probably be saved. The Court House, dopot and town buildings were unbarmod. ‘THE RETREAT OF THE REBELS. On the road teading from town in the direction of the rebels’ retreat, thore are signs of a small panic among the rear guard. Haversacks, canteens and other infantry implemets are scattered around, and our soldiers are engaged in picking upthese almoat wortkless spoils, Their line of retreat is not yey, definitely settied, but it is known (hat a large portion of them went-south to the bridge rece:tly burned and then moved towards Columbus, Miss. Still another portion retreated to Grand Junction, part of them by rail, and part by the common highway ef the country. ‘Whether they will halt there or move further southward is not yet known. THE INTRENCUMENTS. The tatrenchments that the rebels have thus.abandon- ed are quite strong, though not as formidablens we had been ied to suppose from the stories of deserters. They extend three-fourths of the distance around Corinth, and would have been a serious bar to our entrance if well defenied by determined men. They could ‘have been carried by an infantry aseault, though, doubtless, not without severe loss. Stronger strategic :points can ‘easily bo found elsewhere .im the South, and we may yot engage the army under Beacregard in some chesen forti. fied place. OUR FUTURE PLixs Oer plans for the future are uncertain. We are now (cight A. M., May 30), entering Corinth end occu- pying the abandoved works of the enemy. Our cavalry will probably be sent in hot pursuit of the rear guard, white the main army may move.on more slowly, We may possibly remain to ‘‘occupy,/hold and fortify.”” ‘Wasurnctox, June 3, 1862.

Rigorous Union Action of Gowrnor Stanly—The Funa'ical Abolitionists Held in Check, ana Loyal Sentim nt More Developed im Consequnce—Nigro Schocls Ciosed_ and Negro Brunettes of Sizteen Returned to Ticir Qunre— Bwo Leading Greeleyites Sent to New York,and Jay of the Natives— Wretched Conduct ef Some Black Massachu- acts Volunteers, dc. ‘The peace policy of the administration, as shown in the action of Governor Stanly at this place, 4s going on splendidly. The abolitionists are finding considerably more difficulty in making their living under Governor ‘Stanly than under General Burnside. Since the arrival of this discreet, conservative and firm minded man, one week from to-day, we have had four successive acts of bold policy, which, if ho does nothing more, will more than repay the government for sonding him here. ‘These acts may be enumerated thus:— First—Closing the schools fer the negroes. These schools were the cause of tho most intense annoyance 0 the large number of faitnfally loyal men ef Newbern. Never before the arrival of that crazy abolitionist, dubbed with the title of “Doctor” Colyer, was there such a thing heard of as a nogro learning to read. Th, impudence of a woolly headed urehin ranming up to a white boy and saying, “Aha, I am learning to read, too,”” which is now heard constantly, was never thought of. More than one of our old citizens have been heard to declare that if it was not for the military ‘that fel, low that taught them would have his neck stretchod.’? Your correspondeut has alluded to it before, but alto, gether too mildly. Well, all this was brought to aclose on Wednesday by Governor Stanly very quietly hinting to Colyer that there was a law of North Carolina that made such a teacher as he liable to six meonths in the State prison, and telling him that itwould bea nocessity laid upon him as Governor to apply that law to friond Colyer if complaint should chanee to be made against him. The result was, ‘Bro. ther” C. closed his schools, amid many wailings, lamenta- tions, sobbings, rubbings of noses, &c., to say nothing of extra smells and perfumes, that evening. Secomd—The next good rap the Governor gave this class of abolitionists was to make thom return the stolen negroes they were harboring in their houses and trying torun North. Nicholas Bray, a man of mild and gentle. manly deportment, applied to Governor Stanly for re- dress, he baving lost two darkey women, one a vory lively looking brunette, of rapturous sixteen, for whom @ man famous for his fraternization ideas had offered the nice fat sum of $1,500. The Governor at once helped Bray, and told him to take his property wherover ho could find it. He did go at once, carrying one home im his barouche, although she feignod sickness, and giving Colyer’s resting place a good overhauling for the other. That night, however, a party of volunteer soldiors from one of the Massachusetts regimonts—froe love righis men—and true to their principles, went to this poor man’s house, broke open his door, frightened his sensitive wife because she had heroically assisted her husband in the capture of his property, stole once more his slave girl, set fire to his house and decamped. ‘The next day the Governor sent word to all the oap- tains in port that if they ;took away a single negro North their ships,on their return to Nowbern, would be confiscated. That same afternoon H. H. Helper, who has boen @ constant hanger on to the army ever since its ar- rival hore, and getting his living out of the fat crib of the United States government, protonding to be on secret service, burning bridges, &c.. wrote an impudent letter to the Governor, presui to criticise his conduct for the before mentioned acts. For this howas very quietly requested to report himself in New York ns soou as pos- sible, Dan ', our gallant Provost, giving tim atditional quietue in the shape of an extra f iid tolling him if he (aoeeenaet) found him in Xewbern after the departure of the next steamer he would send him to jail and feed him on tough boof. Helper cleared that afier- neon, as did Colyer also; and go your city will have two more pets for Greeley to lubricate. Of eourse all this has cheored up the drooping spirits of the long prostrated and abused ‘oyal people of New. bern. Once more they see daylight, and. the prospect of the good Old North State coming back into the Union was never brighter or more hopeful. A few more such good movos on the part of the administration as the ppointment of Governor Stanly, and we shall have a happy return to peace. The old States, seeing the grent misapprehension they have boen undor, would return to their allegiance, forsake the error of thoir wa: would be well.
