not see General Beauregard on the field until after the fall of Johnston, but the conclusion is irresistible that he was not present until after that disastrous event. I have nothing to say of the blunders of Beauregard after the death of Johnston, for they are sufficiently manifest to every one. As the condition of affairs on the Confederate side has been plainly shown, what was that of the enemy, and what would have been the result of a further advance of the Confederates? Colonel Geddes, of the Eighth Iowa Volunteers, says as follows: About three P. M., all communications with the river (landing) ceased, and it became evident to me that the enemy was turning the right and left flanks of our army About two o'clock the whole Union right, comprising the Forty-sixth Ohio, which had held that flank two hours or more, was driven back in disorder, and the Confederate forces cut the centre off from the landing soon after General Johnston's fall.

nteers, two statements showing the relative condition of the two armies in the afternoon of the day of battle. It may be proper to say that Colonel Worthington was regularly educated as a soldier, and had seen service in Mexico. He quotes Colonel Geddes of the Eighth Iowa Volunteers as follows: About 3 P. M. all communications with the river (landing) ceased, and it became evident to me that the enemy was turning the right and left flanks of our army. . . . About 2 P. M. the whole Union right, comprising the Forty-sixth Ohio, which had held that flank two hours or more, was driven back in disorder, and the Confederate flanking force cut the center off from the landing, as stated by Colonel Geddes, soon after General Johnston's fall. General Beauregard reports as follows: It was after 6 P. M. when the enemy's last position was carried, and his force finally broke and sought refuge behind a commanding eminence covering Pittsburg Landing, not more than half a mile distant

elli on my right and Tosti, the consul, on my left. Had some pleasant talk with each. Then I had a good inspiration for part of my speech, in which I mentioned the egg used by Columbus, and made to stand, to show that things held to be impossible often proved possible. I said that out of this egg was hatched the American Eagle. Madame Novelli shed tears at this, and Novelli kissed my hand. The Italian servants listened eagerly to all the speaking, and participated in the applause. President Geddes, Secretary Jocelyn, and others spoke well and rather briefly. Dear Padre Roberto was really eloquent. March 16.... In the evening to see Novelli in Morte Civile ; his personation wonderfully fine, surpassing even Salvini in the part.... March 17 ....

regon, which was on her way hence for Mobile, and also at the steamboat J. D. Swaim, hence for Ship Island, both of which were obliged to return to New Orleans. Captain Walker, of the Lake steamboat Creole, at Ocean Springs, telegraphed to Mr. Geddes, agent of the Lake steamboats, that a United States schooner was off Deer Island, and had already taken three schooners. The mail steamboat Oregon returned last night, having had a narrow escape. The New Orleans Bee learns from a passengerings. It was thought she would attempt to run out last night in the darkness, and make either Mobile or Lake Routchartrain. The steamer J. D. Swain was at Fort Wood, with steam up — The California had luckily been telegraphed on Saturday, by Mr. Geddes, not to leave Mobile, on account of the lack of business.--The enemy had evidently set a trap to catch the mail line steamers each way, but they have failed in the attempt. Great praise is due to Capt. Myers for his coolness and decision of pu

Clover roots. --At a meeting of the board at Watertown, President Geddes had some clover roots furnished him by a farmer in Olondaga county, one of which measured three feet eight inches, and the roots entered the ground as tap roots. The longest one was evidently broken off in taking up, and probably was six or eight inches longer, making it more than four feet; the others as long.--Such appendages as these to the clover plant, in friable soil, may well account for the great value of this plant as a fertilizer.--New York Jour State Ag Society.

--The New Orleans Picayune is indebted to the courtesy of Gen. Lovell for the use of the following dispatch: Fort Pike, Nov. 29.--Captain Buckley, of the steamer Jeff. Davis, has just left my wharf, having been turned back on his trip to Mobile. He reports the capture, by the Yankees, yesterday morning, in the Sound, of the steamers Grey Cloud, Watson, and Henry Lewis--the two latter heavily laden with freight for Mobile. H. A. Clinch, Major Comd'g. Maj. Gen. Lovell, C. S. A. The Picayune further says: Since receiving the above, we learn from here agents here, John E. Hyde & Co., that the Grey Cloud arrived in port (Mobile) early yesterday morning. The wrong name has probably been given, by mistake, to one of the captured boats. Another dispatch has been received by Mr. Geddes, agent of the mail line, dated Pascagoula, yesterday, stating that a steamer name not mentioned, was captured by the enemy, in the morning, and in the evening a schooner.
