Affairs at the South. the Loss of the Confederate Gun-boat Tuscarora--affairs in East Tennessee--feeling for the south in St. Louis--Kentucky affairs, &c. From the latest Southern exchanges received at this office we compile the following summary of news: The Loss of the Confederate Gun-boat Tuscarora--Ominous Incident of our flag — Miraculous escape of the Crew. We have already announced under our telegraphic head the burning of the Confederate gun-boat Tuscarora. sterday the wreck was still burning, but the magazine being at the stern and covered with water, was safe. The wreck of the Tuscarora, it is thought, will be raised without difficulty, and at comparatively little expense. Later from East Tennessee--arrest of more prisoners. The Memphis Avalanche, of the 25th ult., publishes some late and interesting information from Chattanooga. We copy the following: The Seventh Alabama regiment had just returned from as expedition to the m
Andy Johnson cried --so says the correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial--because of the utter destruction of all his hopes of reaching East Tennessee by the stampedes from Wild Cat to Crab Orchard. Capt. Wm. McCoy, Jr., died at his father's residence, in Franklin, in Pendiston county, Va., a few days since, of meatles and diphtheria, contracted in camp.
The watchman of Strawberry Plain. --We have had few examples of heroism to compare with that exhibited by James Keelan, who guarded the bridge at Strawberry Plain, in East Tennessee, and repulsed the incendiaries, single-handed, though he came near losing his life in the effort. His remark, when he considered his wounds mortal--"They have killed me, but I have saved the bridge"--will five in history, and posterity will listen with almost breathless interest to the narrative of Keelan's courage and devotion. We are gratified to observe that the people of the South are bestowing substantial testimonials upon him, such as his circumstances require; and among other contributions for his benefit, the sum of $100 has been given by the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad Company. We are assured that pecuniary favors will not be unworthily bestowed upon the watchman of Strawberry Plain.
ff, our men pouring on them a destructive volley of rifle shot.--The enemy threw one shell among our men, wounding one, but not seriously. Strength of the Mississippi Federal Gun boats The Memphis Appeal, of the 23d ult., says: We learn that a trial of one of the new Federal gun-boats was made at Cairo three or four days since by firing thirty-two pounders at it. It is alleged that those heavy missiles made no impression on its iron-clad sides whatever. A good joke. A Knoxville correspondent of the Nashville Garette gets off the following as having occurred in East Tennessee: A fellow named Kates, a Baptist preacher, living in Sevier county, mistaking our forces for Federals, cheered lustily for Lincoln. Invited the boys to meal with him. After partaking of his Lincolnite hospitality, he was requested to go to Knoxville; he declined; but they pressed their invite on him so urgently that he was constrained to go. The old devil is now it. jail. A good joke.
mail steamer Trent for Southampton via St. Thomas. The party were treated with attention and most respectful consideration by our community, from the palace, through our polished and intellectual circles, and in all, evident sympathies were manifested with the cause and the nationality they represent. A large concourse of our most respectable people escorted them to the wharf and accompanied them on board ship from their quarters in the Hotel Cubano, kept by Mrs. Sarah E. Barrow, of Tennessee, which is the headquarters of "Dixie" in Cuba. Col. Chas. J. Helm arrived here by a British steamer on the 21st inst., from Europe, and was greeted by thousands of his old friends, and made comfortable, at the above named hotel. To him the palace doors are open, and the warmest friendship of Serrano greets him, cheers him in his duty, and confirms him in social estimation and position. We are not aware of the cause of his being here, but whatever interests he may represent, they cou
