The aews is credited by many in high position, but I thiuk it untrue. It is not improba- bie that portion, or, perhaps, all of McDowoil’s divi- sion, which constitutes the left wing of the enemy, and which bas been advanced this side of the Junction, has receded and gone to Washington, but the retreat of McCiel- jan’s whole army, after approaching within sight of the glittering steeples of the Coniederate capital, is iinpossibie upon any other supposition than that he is false to his cause as well as to his own reputation. Such a step would be equivalent to a great victory ou our part, and its effects upon both the Northern and European mind would be disastrous and fatal to the last degree. McCiel- jan is bound w fight, and but for the terrible flood which dreuclied the earth to-day, there is but little doubt the Struggle would commence to-morrow or Sunday at the farthest.

The long range seems to have been rather played out. A brave man can choose his own distance when guns become equal and bayonets bring the best and worst armed troops ona par.

The deserter was sent on board ihe Galena. During the evening some of the Galena’s crew took a bath in the river. Gm getting ou board again inquiries were made for the deserter, but he was ‘nowhere.’ It became evident that the clever raseal had got in to bathe with the other men, and had swam ashore unobserved im the dusk of the evening. It is not likely, however, that he has carried away any moro valuable information than some notions of she armament of the Galena and the other vessels, of which the rebels, no doubt, had better information before.

Tshouid have mentioned before that our officer pas- sergers inform me that the cuttivation of cotton is en- tirely suspended in those States that used to produce that staple. In the early part of the present spring cot- ton planting was commenced, but suppressed by pro- clamations by the Governors of the cotton Stqtes, who evjoined the planting of corn instead. The planters were by ne meaus disposed to obey these arbritrary ukases, but they were frightened into submission by the threst of a tax to the fuil value of the product. ‘The consequence is no more eotton ig planted than will suilice for soed for an ens crop; but instead of the deposed monarch, King Cotton, King Corn wields the sceptre—nearly the entire cotton lands being converted into one vast corn field. The fact is significant. What effect it will Lave upon Great Britain and the other cot- ton-consuming countries of Europe, from the throwing out of employment of tens of thousands of their opera- tives, time alone can reveal. I find on returning to the Stepping Stones that I have been in orror in designating the place where our squad- ron is anchored ag Turkey Island. Our vessels are much further up than this last mentioned place. The locality, in fact, popularly bears the profane name of ‘Pull-and- be-damned.”? Having thus named it, onee for all, in the text, as a choice speciiuen of Southern euphony, I shall, in future, prefer, in the date line, the somowhat vague designation of below Fort Darlin, ‘The paperscontain highly interesting accounts of the battle of Fair Oaks, and it is known that Jeff. Davis was personally superintending the first day’s fight. He has issued an address to bis soldiers, in which he compli- ments them for their bravery ,and such other stereotyped language of an address, and in couclusion recommends that God may take them under His holy care. He signs his name without attaching to it the office of President or anything else. Al} the hotels and public buildings have been converted into hospitajs for the wounded; also many private resi- dences. ‘The following is 8 gorrect list of officers to be ex- janyed : chi ‘TWENTY-THIRD MIBQQCRI KEGIMENT.

The enemy passed Guntown last night, retreating southward from Baldwin. it is estimated that twenty thousand have deserted since they left Corinth, mostly from Kentucky, Tennessee and Arkansas regiments, All the regiments from those States passed down elosely~ guarded on both sides by Mississippiansand Alabamians. - It ts believed by country people that Beauregard can- not enter Columbus with half the troops he brought away’ from Corinth, The whole country north and cast of Baldwin is full of armed soldiors returning to Tennessee and Kentucky.
