Gen. Williams, with his force, is soon to leave Vicks- burg and go up the Red river to clear out any vestige of the reve! army that may be there. ‘A soout came in to-day from the Red river and a de- pertor from Beauregard’s army. The stories of both con- firm the intelligence that we have before received of the starving condition of the rebel army at Corinth, and the great demoralization that exists there, inducing coustant osertions in great numbers. By the scout from the Red river we learn that General Lovell, instead of having been hung at Jackson, Miss., ts now at Alexandria, with very little, ifany, force. W® tlso learn that General Beauregard had sent & messenger to Alexandria, urging the immediate stransport of five bundred head of cattle to Corinth, as his army was suf- fering terribly from want of provisions, The cattle were bo be forwarded by sending them down the Red river in 8 steamer to the mouth of the Black river, up the Black and Tensas rivers to ® point just above Vicksburg, where they were to cross tne Mississippi river, and soon to Corinth. Word was inatantly sent to General Williams to G0 immediately up the Red river and try to intercept the vupplies; but I fear it was too late. ‘The pleasantest expression of Union focling that we ave xen here was tendered to the Thirteenth Connecti- Out reginia”t, Colonel Birge, last Saturday.

Colonel Birger received the *!egant testimonial of loyalty ‘with graceful thanks, and tho introduced Mademoiselle ud an equally charming cousin to Genta! Butler. The General chatted with them pleasantly for x°W minutes, complimenting the beautiful work on the flag, And pro- mised to write them a letter‘of thanks. The United States despatch steamboat McClellan a tived hereon the 23st, from New York on the Oth iast. She brought as passengers Col. J. W. Shaffer, Division ‘Quartermaster, and Col, J, W. Turner, Division Commis sary, both recently appointed to this dopartment by the War Department at Washington. They bring with them & force of clerks and assistants. Captain Jol Clark, who has been acting as Chief Commissary, with great credit to himself and alvantage to the division, is now holding the pesition of Commissary of the Post, and Liout. J. H.

By command of Major General BUTLER. Gro. C. Srrone, Assistant Adjutant General. We hope, now that it has been demonstrated that the “Butler Expedition’’ is of some consequence to the coun ‘try, that the government will show a propor regard for Nhe necessities of this division. Throughont the whole @abors of this department the officers doing duty have (had to perform an amount of work entirely dispropor- tionate to their appliances. They have been obliged to ‘make their bricks without straw.” In the mattor Of transportation especially we have suffered severely. ‘The entire number of steam transports now at General Butler’s disposals four—the Saxon, Mississippi, Matan- was and McCielian. It seoms a little unreasonable that this point should be So neglected, while so much attention ts paid to Port Royal and other places of minor importance. An interesting*“relic’’ was found a few days since over @t the terminus ‘of the Pontchartrain Railroad, at the lake. It was diséovered and raised by Captain Chas. C. G. Thornton, commanding the guard at that point, and Captain Geo. Wiggin, lato of the New London, at present Captain of the Port at the lake. The ‘‘relic’’ is a sub- marine ram of seger shape, made of iron, hollowed so that a number of men can enclose themselves im it. It is twenty-four feet long, and.hasa propeller which can be ‘worked by hand. On each side of the ram there is a sort Of fin made of iron, three feet long and afoot and a half wide. By raising these wings, or fins, the ram rises to the snrface and sinks by their depression. The bow ts sharply pointed, and, when run against an ordinary ‘vessel below the water mark, would be able to sink it id B@very short time.

Shepley, ‘the military commandant of New Orleans, bad learned ‘that early in the bistory of the rebellion Mr. James Greenleaf, of Cambridge, Mass., who had been residing Dore for several years as @ cotton factor, left for Cam- Dridge with his wife—e sister of the post Longfel- low. Soon after their withdrawal from the Southern @onfederacy the property of Mr. Greenleaf (who, by the way, is the som of the late Simon Greenleaf, of Harvard College), consisting of two dwelling houses on Canal Street, bank stocks, &c., was seized and confiscated Dy the rebels. In company with Captain Jobo Clark, Commissary of the Post, General Shepley ealled at one of the houses and found the name of Mr. Greenleaf on the doorplate; but the bullding of the troops of this department. tics that there is lesa than: ten per cent of sickness in | the army,and that since our occupation of this clty— just one month—there have been but thirteen deaths in. tho command, and only eleven of those the result of disease. The article also, pays ® morited tribute to General Butler for the attention he has paid to the health regulations of his forces, and speaks most justly of the perfect arrangements and peculiar facilities of theSt. James Hotel as a hospital.

Before the meeting separated notico was given thata deveted brother would leave Puncex’s bridge on ‘Thuraday for Richmond, and would take any letters of messages from this quarter to that place.- There was a general felicity in the party that the Yankeos wore being outwitted. A little girl, who bed been during the evening, happened to awake while tho jollif- cation at the expense of tho Yankees was going on, aad heard all about the letters atid the plan for conveyiag them. In the innocence of her heart she repeated the information gained to her parents.

Great bridge, Puncer’s bridge and North Landing bridge wore properly guarded before day. light. Colonel Dodge, selecting Puncer’s bridge as the most likely place for the messenger to cross, took charge of that post himself. Before sunriseyall the darkeys ia the neighborhood were safoly under guard in @ house near the bridge, and every person moving inelthor di. rection was immediately placed in durese for s time, to prevent any alarm being given.
