Lota Rtpuhticmm. Coaurra, Friday, July 11, 1S62. Intelligence from Ceniri Mississippi, received here during the last forty -eisht nvSr confirms the previous reports of the coacentratrauod 6f a ful rebel force at Vlcksburgh, Van Doss's andBsJCtV. nrtiPQi's divisions, together about twenty thou land strong, have been sent to the defence of that city. The other divisions of Basso's army that lately com ananded by himself and Cea.

Potx are reported to have fallen back from tbe vicinity of Tupelio Station, on the Mobile and Ohio Raitroad, to the junction of the latter with the road running eastward front Vicks-burgh. The force that evacuated Fort and was until lately at Grenada, Is also said to have gone southward. It is difficult to perceive what these, movements mean. Probably they are made to guard against a Federal demoastraUoa to the rear by forces expected to be sent down the Mississippi by Gea. Gun.

The reported appearance of Haaaaa's Division la Northern Alabama, seems to have some foundation in fact. It is now believed here that tt Is ia tended for tba reinforcement of the body concentrated at Chattanooga for the defence of that place. At all events, tt may be considered certain that Gea. Beau will not be able to occupy Chattanooga without overcoming the resistance of a considerable body of the enemy. That towa Is altogether too important a point, open lag, as its possesstoa will, both Georgia and North Carolina to Invasion, and render the abaadoamont of the rebel armories spd foundries at Rosso necessary, to warrant ita bloodleas surrender.

The Impossibility of preventing illegitimate Inter course betweea this part of toe south and central Mississippi, owing to the extension of our lines, made it very probable that the rebel generals were thor oughly posted as to the disposition of our troops and tho weakness of our front arising from their scattering along the Memphis and Charleston and Mobile and Ohio How well outsiders are Informed in this respect, sod bow well they know bow to atrore- ciate the advantages the discentratlon ot our forces gives them, appears, from the following paragraph trom a oorrer-ponoence in- a lata number of tbe Memphis-Grenada Appeal: -Gea. Waixacs't Division of Gen. Hallicx's arm v. which Is nowat Mem puis, id said to consist of thirteen regiments, or say aoout ,000 effective men. I learn that Shsrmas is at Grand Junction, with a column of about 25,000 men.

Since the evacuation of Corinth a good deal has bf-tn said and written about the demoralization of the rebel army and tbe prevalence of a disposition of the ran ana nie, especially among tne new levies, to snaggle off to their several homes.

In tbe name or uadsr the gule of thati savage warfare, outlawed by tha cisilixed world, known as guerrilla warfare. Yon will permit me to suggest that your objections to my proclamation came with ill-grace from you, when accompanied with your own order above referred to, which order is but an encouragement to rapine and murder upon the partaf jthoe In this State, if there be such: so lost to all sense of honor as to avail themselves of your permission to commit such depredations.

Too mast be aware that your captains of fens' mii sovR becom else than highway ban dittt. more terrible to citizens of your? 6wp State than to soldiers and sailors of the United States. It was doubtless tn pursuance of the policy indicated In your order that your troops who defended this place on the 17th fired upoa a part of tbe crew of the Hound City, who were scalded by an accident to the machinery of that boat, while help-less In the river, into which they had sprung to relieve their tortures. It is believed that no troops of a clvfjjxed country would have dared to adopt such a course without being assured of their being sustained by their commanding officer, especially after the world knew that, when a similar accident happened a Confederate gunboat, during tha late naval en gagement before dterapnis, tne vaitea states soiaiers and sailors had risked their lives to rescue those from the Mississippi, who, from the same cause, had sought relief by jumping overboard.

The following is'tho statement made by Gen. CaxjraiB, which the telegraph referred to a few days since HiADQTjigTiRj Cavalt Dinstojf. I Abut or ni Mississippi. July 4. ISO, I have read with mlnaied feellnss of surorlsa and regret a communication signed by G.

T. Bbacxxoabd, addressed tn the Mobile Hews of the 10th ultimo sur prise, that facts so patent and so easily susceptible of proor, snouia oe aeniea oy nun; ana regret, mat so weak, wicked and unholy a cause as is this cursed rebellion, should have rendered utterly false and un scrupulous a man whom, for fifteen years, I have el wsys associated with all that! was chivairlc, high minded and honorable. 'i The pursuit from Corinth I led with one brigade of my cavalry and a Dattery, leaving armtngton at noon on toe 30th day of May. On the-evening of the same day I came upon the rear guard of the enemy, whom louna strongly posted in tne bouom oi i uscumaia Creek, eight miles eoutn of Corinth. The next day this rear guard was drives out, and on Sunday, the 1st June, the pursuit We Rienzi only two hours behind the retreating aiuiy, and io'iud the bridges between Rienzi sodBoonevilie so recent ly fired that the timbers were- nearly ail saved.

My advanced guard came up witn tne enemy late in tne afternoon of the 1st June, about four ruiies from BooneviKe, and chased them within one mile of tho town, when it was halted by iuv order, on account of the lateiief of the hour. At 5 jelock on the morning of the 2d June I entered Boonerille, and during all of that dav my cavalry was constantly skirn.i&hicg ith ti-e enemy on every road leaiing southward and westwrad from Booneville to Twecty-mile Creek. On tbe next day I made a reconnaissance in force toward Baldwin, driving the enemy across Twenty-mil Creek and on the tin anotxer reoonnoissaace was made by Col. Elliott, rJ Blapklandr, with similar results. On the 10th, Baldwin; and Guntown were occupied by my troops, which was ss fsr at the pursuit has been carried.

Booneville is twenty-four miles by the railroad from Corinth, and Twenty-mile Creek is seven roite5 further. By the highway the distance from Corinth to Twentv-mile Creek is reckoned by the inhabitants at thirty -nine miles. 1 Tbe facts of the farmer's story' are these I met at Gienzi, on Sunday, the 1st! of June, the citizen house Bxaubxgabd occupied while there, and his statement to me was that Biacbioabb was much excited and utterly surprised at the explosion of the ordnance tn the burning cars, fired by Col. Elliott at Rooneviile that he pronounced It te be at Corinth, and that he violently swore at a report that reached him that the explosions were at Boone ville that he sent all over town to ascertain the author of the rumor, and while engaged in this search a messenger arrived direct from Boonevllle, confirming the report that the Yankees were there. Whereat, Bbaubs-sabo altered his roote and galloped away immediately, taking the roundabout way Of lackland to Baldwin.

This statement was made in the presence of several officersand was entirely voluntary aad ua-askedfov. i i Col. Elliott arrived af Boonevllle on the 30th of May. at 2 o'clock A. M.

He remained secreted in the I woods east of the railroad rantil daylight, when he niuini sons vjwu uie town, sua was DKivjiwrj of about two hundred rebel cavalry, who incontinently fled at a volley front Capt. Caupbxlls Second Michigan revolving rifies. This was the onry resistance Col. Elliott encountered. He found ia the town about eight hundred well soldiers and two thousand sick and convalescent but none were inclined to oppose him.

On the contrary, at least five1 hundred wished to go back with him as prisoners, but tt was impossible for him to tske them. The two thousand sick and convalescent found by Coi. Elliott were in the most: shocking condition. The living and putrid dead were lying side by side togetner, festering in tbe sun, oav platforms, on the. track and on the ground, just where they bad been driven off the cars by their inhuman and a rage comrades.

No surgeon, no nurses Were attending them. They had had no water or food: for one or two' days, and a more horrible scene could scarcely be imagined. tol. jsluott set his own men to. removing them to places of safety, and they were all so removed before ne set fire to the dSpot and as can be proved by aunareca.

1 Gen. Bsacxbgabb states fiat the burning of two or more ears is not enough to make him frantic. The exact number of tbe cars destroyed by CoL Elliott is as follows 1 i Five cars loaded with small arms. Fivc'cars loaded with loose ammunition. Five cars loaded with- fixed aramuntion.

1 Six cars loaded with officers' baggage. Fire cars loaded with clothing, subsistence stores, harness, saadies, Ac i Making a total of twenty-six-ear, besides three pieces of artillery and one locomotive. This of course does not include the dtjpot and platform, wbleb were filled with provUipntfand stores of every description. .5 The nine men of CoL Elliott's command taken prisoners were a party who bad taken a hand-car, and gone up tbe track a mile or two to destroy a water tank. It is presumed they were surprised by some, skulkers who, were afraid to approach Booneviiie while Col.

Elliott was there. The charge of burning up five nick men In tbe depot and handing down CoL Elliott's name to Infamy. I must confess ts only in character with Gen. backs -uabp's previous statements. He knows better.

He knows It Is false. Tbe rebellion in which he Is a-prominent leader must have Imbued him with more credulity than reason; a spirit of irallcious exaggeration bas taken tba place of truth To convict himself of Inhumanity, treachery and 'deception In almost every word, act and deed, he has only to take the combined and concurrent testimony' of bis own subalterns and men, especially those who hare fallen Into ear hands as prisonors, and the large numbers who have deaerted hi Finking- cause.

Under the date of July 10, the correspondent ofthe Chicago Tribune writes from Vicksbursh: "To-day we hear from reliable authority that ail of Commodore Pobtbb's mortar fleet will leave tne lower side of the peninsula to-morrow for New-Orleans, the steamers of that fleet, it is said, are to tow the mortar -schooners to the mouth of the river aad then return to this place to resume the siege, except flagship Octormra, which goes to Fortress.

Monroe. The destination of the mortar-schooners Is not known. some say momic, ana some say taariesion. sui oe-fore this will be printed, and ao give aid and comfort to the enemv bv mliins- their destination, it whl doubt less have been decided by their arrival at the scene of action. The canal Is not completed yet.

it has beea made deeper than the original design, and may require second deepening before a current will run through it. Six hundred negroes from the neighboring planta tions. Desides a portion or tne troops oi wn. wii-LiAijy corpmand, are at work upon it, but contrabands are not faXbous for doing a great deal of labor in a short space of time, and tbe work progresses slowly. For a week past, a large detail from Gen: Williams' force has been stationed ia the woods on the shore, just below the rebel batteries, to prevent another attempt on tbe part of the rebels to board the mortar schooners and steamers of Pobtbk's fleet, which are lying against that bank of the' rirer, and between this portion of our troops and the rebels there is skirmlthing and picket firing almost every Bight.

On last Sunday morning, after conslJera'aie uuework brin dui the night, wherever the Leard a sound In the thlc, dark woods, our soldiers picked upjifne dead rebels that had been killed during the night, and day belore yesterday morning four were found Uiat had been killed the evening before, one of whom was a rebel Captain and another a Lieutenant. This is about the only fihtinjr that has been Cone since the fleet ran the blockade of the batteries on the 26th of last mouth. All the other firing that lias been done has had bat littiC effect. The enemy has 3one no damage with any shot fire from the batteries since the 26th, and the only visible result of our firing since then has been to knock ioyer a few-houses. Yesterday, the steamer Empire Parith arrived at th--lower liect with the only mail that has teen receive! from New -Orleani for several days.

She had to run the gnantlet of the rebel batiei ies at Grand Gulf and ut Ellis Cliffs. She was fired into at both places, ar.d ws struck fctven times, but no one was Silled on board. New-Orleans papeia received by tbe Empire Parish represent matters in the city to be in a very discouraging condition. Trade, there is none merchants are doing nothing but the smallest retail buslines in the mechanical trades und the professions, there is nothing to The mechanics are all idle, and living Upon their former savings attorneys are without business, preachers are without congiegaiiorj, and even the put sicians, when tbey serve at all, get but little pay. Food of any kind 4s extremely scarce flour can hardly be obtained al thirty dollars per barrel, and there are hundreds of famUes who bare al ways lived in ease and plenty, who now hare not tasted wheat bread for weeks.

Those citizen who are yet rich are doing nothing to relieve the distress ofthe poor, and'the onlv reTef they have received has been Irom the otftcersof our army, who have employed several thousands of them in ciearmg tne streets ot tne city. Tbe pav received for this has enabled many of them to live, ho would otherwise bave starved to death. The buslnessqusner ot tae city is uusriy deserted and silent, and in Magazine, Poydras, Tchapitoulaa and lvee streets tne grass is spring1 eg up aounaantly. Tbe levee and wharves present a spectacle of ruin unparalleled on this continent. When the rebels set fire to the shipping in front of the city, on the approach of our fleet from below, it destroyed not only the sixty or seventy vessels lying at the wharves, bet ail of the wooden portion of the wide levee, and the spot that once was ailed with the cargoes of steamboats from Northern rivers, and ships from all parts of the world, is now nothing but heaps of ashes, half submerged in the Misstsslppi.

The damage sustained by buildings has not been more than one-twentlelh part as great as might be supposed. Rev.

C. K. Mabshall, who has been an eye-witness of all the siege, says that $10,000 would repair all the dam ages in this particular. mere is no oount tnat ine enemy are mating an at tempt to divorce Vlcksburgh from the river.

The Yankees have pressed between 4,000 and 5,000 negroes, belonging to planters of Madison and Jefferson parish. and put them to work digging this canal. By this canal they expect fo turn the channel of the river.

and thus leave the city of Vichsburgh alone in its slorv.

It gives me, therefore, redoubled pleasure roora'di-reelly to testify my admiration by sending ybu'Ihe identical tag of the revenue-cutter McClelland, hjch was the subject of that order, together with the Con. federate flag which was hoisted by traitor hands lit its place.

David Ritcb-tx. a young Scotch sailor oa board that boat, remaining true to his adopted country, when many of her sens proved recreant, werton board the McClelland, when she was being burned by tbe Confederates, and brought off the flags. His affidavit, which accompanies this, will give tha details of the facta. I doubt not the Secretary of the Treasury will permit you to- retain the flags, which could aot be ia better hands. Believe me.

General, roost truly yours, BENJ. F. BUTLER. Joan A. Dix.

A CONVERSION. Mr. Giosgi Babeb, formerly editor of tho Nashville Republican, who turned rebel at the last moment, has renounced his treasoa and commenced the publication of a paper called the Constitution. I The prospectus says A We joined the revolution simply as a Tennes-. seean wbooe Interests and destiny seemed linked in inseparably with the State.

as we were to -the course of the majority, on the 8th of June, 1S61, i we, nevertheless, determined to act with tha State, as long as the position she then assumed could be main- tained thus sacrificing our own judgment, that wo mtght accompany a people whom we fondly cher- ished, and among whom we were bora and reared. I We bad felt that no justifiable cause existed for' rebellion, and we were seriously apprehensive that tho experiment would" prove unsuece win while' It would necessarily bring upon the country a degree1 of -suffering till then not conceived by our people. i This was our conviction, when the Stata embarked upon the present revolution, and I-the reason we have assigned above, however unwor- thy la itself, is tbe reaaoa thai Induced us to- yda in tbe voyage. This is the altitude wa personally sua- taioed toward tho rebeUioa, aad we do not hesitate thus candidly to avow It and wo do ao rather la tin- uicatioa of the country than as a personal apology. We have ne Tarnished argument by which we propoaw to establish oor consistency, in having joined thav re i beliioB while we now favar a retoraiioa of.
