The Situation Cotton Aha {From the Memphis Bulletin, Oot. 31.) We have advices from Holly Springs to Wednesday morning. There had been no movement of forces from that point, except the transfer of Villipigue’s division to Meridian. Nother Price nor Van Dorn hed'trade the least forward movement. They are uot ready’te do so, even if there was anything to be gained by it. On the contrary, they were a in reinforcements there at a ra- pid rate. Fvery day there were fresh and large arrivals, principally. from Lonisiana and Texas, On Wednesday morning, our informant states, about six thovsand infantry anttwo thousand cavalry arrived, ail represented as Texas. The defeat at Corinth’is regaraed in the Confederacy as a terrible blow, but they are lending ail their efforts to overcome it. Renee the congregation of this large force at Hoily Springs, where they seem to"be in vonstant anticipation | that they wili be attacked by Graut. A veuileman who was anxious to obtain permission to bring his cotten to Memphis aud exchange it for supplics for bis family, is reported to have made application to Gen. Van Dorn to get permission to do so. His application was considered by Van Dorn, who useured him that it ‘was not in his power to comply with bis request. government to the etfect that if the people could not ot he - wise be prevented from takipg the cotton to mark: must all be burnt. In consequence of this order, b: not fee) at liberty to make an exception in the alluded to ‘We Jearn that an intense feeling of indignation and op- position has been excited among the people in the convtry in reference to thie cotton burning business. All, without exception, are violently opposed to it, and in juence much indignation has been evinced. It is even said that some of the guerillas, sent out for the purpose, have met with such opposition that they bave bad to confess their regret that they were sent on such a thankless errand, while some of the companies:have utterly refused to ex ecute orders in this particular, and either permitted it to pass unmolesie@, or elee returned back to their encamp- ments and made known their refusal. Still there ig some cottou burning going on. On Wed- nesday, an old man named Jeffers, formerly keeper of the Three Mile tollgate, was caught bringing a baie of cotton to Memphis. The old man abandoned cotton and took: to the woods, pursued by the guerillas, but at last ac- vounts he had not been captured. From the vicinity of Hernando we learn that the people are moving back to the interior, taking their and movable property. Indeed it seems now to be the settled policy of the Confederate government to compel all | guners oi negroes to go to the Interior out of the way of danger, Nor do the guerillas confine themselves to cotton burn- ing and moving back slaves. Whenever they hear of a man picking out bis cotton, or she assemblage of negroes in force, there they go, and escort them to the rear. Mr. Griffin, living about six miles from Memphis, on the Mississippi and Tenpessce road, came to town the first part of this week and induced a number of pegroes an white boys ie out and pick cotten ~ him. While ae engaged on ,@ party of guerillas came upon the place and made every negro upon it go with them to the yours. (Reuewed applause.) ly prayer is that our portion of the country shall hesitate at no- (—hesitaie pot at making apy seerifice in fur- nishing forcee to bring about the accomplishment of that result, I would be unjust to myself if | did not say that my heart bas oftentimes swolleu with pride when I reflected upon what our —_— of the country has dgne for the sustaininent of it in this orists, have been assoc’ Seld with brave wen from every part of the country—with men from the extreme West, from the Middle States, as well as from the East- ern—and J should be glad to express, if] had the powor of utterance to do so, my appreciation of the great and nobie qualities of the men from all parte of the country. I have cheerfully in times past considered tie elements which go to constitute and strengtl: tary citizen as exhibited in li story without or have more, of the elements of a great national military force, of a suc- cesaful military nation, of a conquering military na. tion, if need be, thay apy other nation of people on the face of the earth. (Applause.) I cheerfuliy yield to others—to England, France, Rustia, Austria, Prussia and Spain—whatever of glory in that reupect their warmest friends may claim for them. New England men have been true to the destiny and purposes of the republic. They nave never hesitated to discharge their duties to the fullest capacity, or to eacrifice whatever was theirs to sacrifice the geverai good. (Ap- use.)

(Applause.)

(Great applause. ) When there is euch a spirit animating them we may rely | ou the men who go forth trom us to do their duty to the | country; and their number has been proportionate to the | exigencies of the’occasion.

Mr. Hal! bad with him a volume of Flakabuit’s voyages, kindly Joaned by Hon. Geo, Ban- croft, from which he read several extracts bearing upon the points in question.

Tuk-e-leto, ihe woman, is claimed to be the best interpreter m the Arctic regions, She is of a mild disposition, and has a faculty of acquiring readily the lingo of other tribes, During the evening Captain William Parker Snow, a British explorer, p @ few questions to Mr. Hall propounded in velation to the discoveries of Perry, which Mr. Hall an- swered with promptness, aud tn et ‘& manner that Capt, Snow stated to the society that he was of the firm belicf that Mr. Mall was the first man to definitety eettle the fact that the body of water heretofore known as Frobish- ev’s Strait was only adeep bay, and, as an Englishman, he was proud (o acknowledge Mr. Hall as the discoverer of this interesting fact. After the close of the lecture, on motion of the Rey. Dr. ‘Thompson , seconded by Hon. George Ranoroft, the thanke of the andience and society were presented to Mr Hall. ‘Mr. Hall's relies were now open for inspection. The} comprise quite a variety of specimens of bituminous i. tiles, brick and pieces of stone, on which can be seen fragments of mortar which by age have become as hard ‘as the rock itself. All of these relics were dug up, and not picked up carelessly, along the shores. Among the articles found is a large piece of iron ballast, weighing about twenty pounds. Time made quitea chango in its appearance. Among the most remarkable tious of Mr. Hall’s cabinet is his manuscript writ- a8, covering over three thousand clos pages. Durmg the jatter part of his cruise his paper ran short, and he was obliged to use envelopes, scraps ef paper, blank books, &c. He has also a large nnimber of charts of the regions over which he bas travelied. Some j of them are the work of his own hands, and others are ng pepeactiog of the Iunuits.

It is, thea, highly important to keep up a faintly feeling among the men, and impress them that, as a unit they are safe: but if separated, and exch body under oe eontrol, they are in danger of being lost. this respect Captain Baddington and his officers suc- ceeded admirably. He has ever shared their every privation, and when digcouraged has been ready to cheer them up. Acrew which, when they went from this country, svoraged in looks common mon, are now, on their retara, fat and healthy, and there is nota man of. the ship’s company who cau wear the same sized gar- ments he did before his departure to the Arctic seas. This speaks well for Arstic life and a two years’ cruise filed with bardships and dangers. Captain Buddingtou’s several voyages to that region | nave rendered him ‘amiliar with its geography, and by ; bis constant intercourse with the natives he has acquired the language so that he speaks it flnentiy. ‘bis, to a person visiting that locality, 1s of the utmost importance.

We state this fact, becanse, before Mr. Hall sailed, in some quarters it was whispered rather sarcastically that he was a pretty navigator to go upon such a voyage.

The ice began to make, and everything betokened a hard winter season. By the Ist of November the whaling was entirely suspended for the season. During this winter Mr. Hat! was ongaged in his studies priocipaily, al he made a journey to ich Occupied forty-three days, At this time he made his preliminary surveys of that coast, which he visited twice afterwards, Duriug the winter months the crew of tno bark were variously employed in ship's duty, and were worked ao as to prevent, as much as possible,an attack of the scurvy.

Barriaone, Oct. 31, 1862, For several munths past a number of men, traitors in dieguise, in this city, have been urging the President to Femove Major Geueral John E. Wool from the commaud Of the Middle Department. To accomphsh this end the Most infamous falsehoods have been engendered and palmed upon the President and the public, and until the former bad come to the conclusion (if Governor Bradford and his coadjutors are to be believed) to remove tke General; and this, too, upon verbal declarations, and with- out allowing the veteran, who has served our once happy and prosperous country most faithfully and gallantly for | more than fifty years, an opportunity to defend bim- self. Jt may not be inappropriate to inquire who are the men and what have they doue for the country who would Temove this distinguished soldier from the command of the Middle Department, the military administration of which haz not on'y secured the peace and quiet of the city of Baltimore and the State of Maryland, but given entire satiefaction to al! conservative citizens. The only exceptions are those who, on the 19th of April, 1861, were either found wanting or on the side of those who would bave extorminated the Union party, aud some of them were mort active ju their effurts to destroy the Union. We have not now time to present the character apd conduct of these men on the 19th of April, 1861, and dur* ing the few days that followed , when the veteran Genera’ ‘Woo! was engaged in forwarding men—ten thousand—to save the capital, and, as Lient. General Scott said, the ‘Union, © At tho saine time ho furnished nine States with arms and ammunition, and supplied Fortress Monroe with gun carriages, ammunition avd provisions, and sent the steamer Quaker City to guard Hampton Roads, in order to prevent heavy gus being transported from Norfolk to besiege that fort, which was threatened at the time. Hay ing beard that the city of Washington was ehort of provi? } sions he ordered 30,000 rations daily to that city, by way of Perryviile and Annapolis, besides supplying the ton thou. sand men he sent with thirty days’ rations. Such was the Conduct of the veteran General, whilst those who are ‘now urging bis removal were warring against the Union and Union men, These facts before the world, and his capture of Norfolk, aud the destruction of the Merrimac, which so long paralyzed the navy in the Roads, and the | of getting provisions except by transporting Usem ix wagons, witb great dunger of the trains being cut off and the army being left to starve. There are ne stronger positions in the enemy’s country than in those mountaias, and an immense army could” be checked ix its progress by a very small one, There 1s vo deubt that Hiudman has just receivid reinvorcements of five thou sand well armed troops, and these alo.e, tp the hands of such a brave aud resolvte man, are a ‘ormidable force te encounter in @ mountain gorge, where they hoose their position, It is possible, ‘however, Unt the retro: grade movement from Fayetteville wes inerciy to secur€ | a more favorable route to Littie Rock than the one frow that place. It is suid that on.the read from there there is no forage, while on the road trom here there is. plenty The wagons are bringing corn and forage to-day from @ distunce of eight miles, and the mills st Kin springs are employed in grinding meal ard flour for the army. This is muster day, and the roils, 80 far as completed, show ap Tunusnal degree of health for the season, The hospitals are nearly empty, and vory few men are reported unfit for service.

The salute of the fleet was responded to by tue field bat- teries in the redans, was witnessed with eager interest by the citizens. The whole concluded with a gvand review of ail the forces. ‘The small rebel steamboat Little Rock from Little Rock arrived at Helena on Tuesday evening, u.der a flag of from the Firth Ilinois cavalry, for exchange. “he returned to Little Rock on Wedvesday afternoon, While lying at Helena, a portion of her crew, concluding po | had seep enough of Dixie for the present, deserted, and could not | be induced toreturn.
