lar to that which has been discovered in Northern Arkansas. Some of the bridge burners who have been hung, signified before their execution, they had been detailed by this secret organization to burn the bridges under penalty of death. They said that they were doomed to die by the hands of their associates if they refused to perform the task to which they were assigned by lot; and, therefore, having made up their minds to suffer the death penalty, were indifferent to their fate. The Lincoln gun-boats at North Edisto. From the Charleston Courier, of the 19th instant, we take the following: On Tuesday afternoon, seven vessels of the Lincoln fleet appeared off North Edisto Inlet, four of which soon crossed the Bar and stood into the harbor, firing shells on both sides as they came in. Yesterday morning their vessels came up to Rockville, where a part of the Rifle regiment, under command of Colonel Branch, was stationed. On the approach of the ships, our troops retired

Yesterday morning their vessels came up to Rockville, where a part of the Rifle regiment, under command of Colonel Branch, was stationed. On the approach of the ships, our troops retired from Rockville to a position some miles in the rear, the detachment only being placed at the above point to observe the enemy. It is reported that some 60 men from the fleet landed and took possession of Rockville, but information on this point is uncertain. Until further information is received, it is impossible to say what the enemy intend. A dead lock. The Legislature of Florida is at a dead lock on the Sena

From the New York Herald's Paris correspondence, under date of November 26th, we extract the following: Ex-Lieutenant General Scott arrived here from Havre, which port he reached in the Arago on Sunday morning. Yesterday afternoon at six o'clock he was met at the railroad station by Mr. Bigelow, the United States Consul, and by the Secretary and Assistant Secretary of Legation, Messrs. Pennington and Dayton. I should not suppose it would have required any very great relaxation from his usual dignity for the Minister

The Connecticut brings as passengers thirteen of Wilson's Zouaves and several regulars from Fort Pickens. She also has a mail from the entire blockading squadron. Nothing new had taken place at Fort Pickens since the bombardment. It is surprising, indeed, that they have not been attempted before. We learn that large reinforcements will be ordered up immediately. A secret organization in Tennessee. We copy the following from the Memphis Avalanche, of the 17th instant: Lieutenant Flynne, just from Knoxville, communicates to us some interesting intelligence. It has been ascertained that a secret, sworn organization of Union traitors, exists in East Tennessee, which is extended throughout that section.

our obedient servant, Horatio Eagle, Late prisoner of war at Richmond. Interesting from the Coast — advance or Reconnaissance of the enemy. From dispatches, official and private, received to day, (says the Southern Guardian, of the 19th inst.,) we have been permitted to glean the following interesting items of news from the coast: Yesterday afternoon four vessels of the enemy were off Rockville, on Wadmalaw Island. Only four companies of the Rifle regiment were at that post. o perform the task to which they were assigned by lot; and, therefore, having made up their minds to suffer the death penalty, were indifferent to their fate.

his point is uncertain. Until further information is received, it is impossible to say what the enemy intend. A dead lock. The Legislature of Florida is at a dead lock on the Senatorial question. We learn from the Tallahassee News of the 5th, that that body meets in joint convention every afternoon, and ballots from three to five times, but are now after several days trial, apparently as far from an election as they were on the first ballot. The Austin Gazette, of the 7th inst., says "the writer of the following is well known to us as a reliable and truthful gentleman:" Chihuahua, Nov. 6, 1861.-- Messrs. Editors: --The Governor of this State has received official orders from the Governor of Sonora that 7,000 Federal troops had landed at Guymas, from California, and were marching with a view to operate against Texas, and that they would in their march cross the upper part of this State.

for those under twenty-one years of age, five years; those under twenty years until the age of twenty-five. It is the intention of the committee, if possible, to go to the House with a bill upon which the members are unanimous. This saves a minority report, and will naturally produce a moral effect upon the House that will tend to carry the bill through without successful opposition. Letter from a liberated Federal prisoner at Richmond. We find in the New York Herald, of the 18th inst., the following letter from a Yankee prisoner recently liberated from the Richmond prison. It is characterized by that candor and fairness which forms an isolated episode in the whole catalogue of letters and experiences that have been communicated through the Northern journals from Federal prisoners who have fallen into our hands during the progress of this war: New York, Dec. 18, 1861.
