"Hope tell&a flattering tale," in the news from the Trans-Mississippi?bat we fear matters are exaggerated. -Again, we bear Gen. Chalmers las oaptured Fort Pillow, with from eight to twelve hundred negroes; these, we presume, will be very "useful on the ooast," a place where any number of contrabands can always be spirited away, whether needed or not. ' The new year has been fruitful of success with us, and our leaders seem actively engaged to secure a continuance. Our forces iu the military field of operations, are being greatly strengthened, though by some it is feared at the expense of other as important fields. 0i*e thing is certain, the enemy are mating the moat stupendous preparation? the necessity of reduoing Richmond, has become to them a dire necessity, for in it seems to bang, with them, the destiny of Mr. Lincoln, and his war. JNq have every faith in our cause, and look upon the pres. ont *? the most cheering signs since the commencement of the war?let oar people, then, come promptly to the sapport of the :vithoritiesvin this trying boar, and, then we may talk or write of settling difficulties in she cabinet, instead of in the field.

We mentioned in oar last, that the Di> reoters of the Statesrille, N. C., rail road, had patriotically surrendered a portion of their iron for the completion of the Danville road to Riobraond. We sinoe learn rhat only about six miles of the rails jast above Mount Monroe wiU be taken up.? The cere will continue to run between Mount Mcurne Aid Charlotte, and as soon as strap iron enough can be obtained to put in the place of the T rails removed, we presume the whole line will be put in operation again. As this sctiou will reliqye the York road for the present, we hope it will no? prevent a general meeting of the Stockholders, called for Friday next. jTJgl RESERVE ORGANIZATION. r?t.a Saturday !***> persons in tb j 34th Mg??M Regiments, between the ages of ^yJVfilljiai aQd 45 a?4 50, were ordered to the Enrolling Officer, at this place, ' for'organization into companies. The number present waa abont 250, nearly equally divided between the two Regiments, bat of these a great many expressed their intention S^Jto appear befqre the Medical Board on SatS, twday or Monday next, for examination, with a view to exemption from physical disability ; and others will petition as Farmers who will comply with the requisition of the Aot, such as famishing meat, selling at sehedale prices, &s. The two oompanies formed, will, therefore, be hardly more than the minimum, 64, under the following officers : 34lA Regiment. JOHN if. LOWRY, Captain. W. L. BROWN, 1st Lieutenant. THOS J ECCLES, 2d Lieutenant. JONATHAN MOORE, 3d Lieutenant. 46tA Regiment. t . MILTON A. CURRENCE, Captain. N. A. STEELE. 1st Lieutenant. DAVID PATRICK, 2d Lieutenant. ROBERT MENDENHALL, 3d Lieut. STOPPING OP TRAVEL. The Provost Mtfrshal, at Colu&bia, has issued a noMoe that no 'passports will be granted' to any person, male or female, to any point on the Sbnth Carolina and Charlotte railroads?that no person will be allowed to leave on either of the above roads, until farther notice, except soldiers and Governments Agents. The same steps have been taken in other quarters, according to the Petersburg Express, whioh says: Pleasure seekers and business men, outride of the armv. are to have a reason of ? - ? ?. \ 0 * rest, for a yrbilo at least. The Provost Marshal in this city,J has received an order forbidding him to grant passports oo any of the railr^ada, between Riohmood and Augusta, Ga., except to persons traveling on business for, the government, officers and soldiers on furlough. This order comes from General Cooper, Adjutant and Inspec tor General, and is imperative. In some instances, it wilL operate with seeming hardship on persons desiring to visit sick relatives at a distance, but as to the mere pleasure seeker, and man of business, they can well afford to forego a trip, when the demands of the government require all the available space ou the railroad trains. Between Richmond and Petersburg, private conveyances * will doubtless be resorted to, and hone flesh will be iu great demand.? Some independent, stout-legged, toughfooted pedestrians, will ask no favors ol either railroads or bone flesh, but gp it on foot. This will benefit the shoemakers and prepare the walkers for long marches when tkay get into the army, i? % " ? -- How the hotels, which are ohargiog $3( a day will relish this arrangement, remain! to be seen. When the above arrangement! are revoked, it is hoped the new onrreno] will be appreciated, and hotel keepers b< willing to "live and let live." We are in olined to think the rail road companies wil 1 also learn a good lesson, and probably b< disposed hereafter to keep their, ohargei within the limits prescribed by their ohar ters, Their half price for soldiers, now, i more than twice as high as the whole price before the war.

A delegate from each of the annual Conferences will meet, in joint ses sion, with the Bishops atrd Boards for ad vice and suggestion as to ibe interests o Southern Methodism.

Maury, Major General Commanding. 1 The Victory in Louisiana. In our telegraphic column tbie morning will be found an official despatch from Gen. Maury, commanding at Mobile, to the War Department, announcing another brilliant success of the Confederate arms. The recently much boasted Yankee expedition up Red River, after capturing -Alexandria and Natchitoches, pushed on, it seems, and made an attack in full foroe upon the Confederate army near Shreveport, the presen? scat of government in Louisiana, ?nd very near the Texas border. The recent northern papers expressed the opinion very confidently that this town would be captured without resistance. But Banks has now to tell them a very different tale. His ovn Surgeon General, in an official despatch to the commandant at Baton Ronge, gives him the information that the Yankee army bad been repulsed in the vicinity of'Sbreveport by the Confederates, "with great loss." The admission of a defeat in such terms as these, can only leavo the inference that it was a very disastrous one. It will be some days before we receive the Confederate aocount of the battle, bat it oan scarcely be doubted that it will tarn oat to be a signal victory, as the forces most have been luge on both sides?-those of. Banks of coarse ! oatnumbering the Confederates. . Thus have the Yankees failed in every preliminary movement this Spring. Seymour, in Florida, was badly whipped; Sherman, in Qentral Mississippi, had to retreat from Meridian and abandon his expedition; Qrierson and Smith, in Northern Mississippi, were terribly used np by For- 1 yet, and now Banks, in Lonisiana, has been .effeotually mauled.

' So far the accession to the enemy's forces in Northern Virginia has been from farloughed men &c., and ia inconsiderable. ' , * 4? _ _ In Che reorganization of Grant's army there are enumerated thirty two brigade*which, estimating the average cf a Yankee regiment at three hundred and fifty men, wonld give Gramt about forty fonr thousand infantry. These figures are not the result of speculation, but of an investigation, the full particulars of which we .neednot give tiaro T>. ia qnnnnsfld fchftfc ftranfc nnnnnt non venieotly or prudently draw any large reinforcements from Tennessee or Mississippi, as he certainly oonld not replace his garrisons in the West by oolored troops or other indifferebt material. He will have to look for reinforcements from unimportant posts in the North and from his coast lines, and from these if he draws twenty thousand men he will have gone to the extent of his present resources. The movements of Forrest, until he is again within our lines, will necessarily be the attraction in the West. The public speoulation maps out for this gallant and adventurous oommand an extended field of oper- { ations and important results. Some suppose t(hat Nashville .may be the object, i while others imagine Forrest's oertain cap- ( ture of Memphis before he reform} to his original base of operations. But this, of course, is all conjecture. His invasion of . Tennessee and Kentucky may be a part of ' a general plan of campaign, dnyolving other important movements; or it may be entirely independent'of all connection with the movement of all other armies and commands. There was a rumor yesterday that Burnhide was landing troops at Newport News.

Large numbers of citizens?non-* combatants?of the northern counties of Virginia, are heing arrested by the enemy. This has been the usual prelude to general movements, and may, in the present instance, be intended to cover designs looking to a change in the present position of Meade's now Grant's army. Late and Beliable From Gen., Forrest. We had the pleasure of meeting, last evening, with Maj. ^everson, Chief Qctartermaster of Geo. Forrestfa command, who is visiting Selma on offioial business, and to whom we are indebted for many particulars of General Forrest's campaign into Ken. tuoky, which lave not appeared in the public prints. . Yesterday evening a courier arrived, bringiog despatches from the command, together with an autograph letter from Gen. Forrest to Major Soverson, dated the 28th ultimo, at Jackson, West Tennessee, where bis command'were resting after their ardu ous and successful campaign^ resulting in the capture of Paducak, Union City, Hickman, and other places, with vast quantities of military stores, whioh he succeeded in bringing to his own depots Without any serious hindrance. His whole campaign was a series of triumphs, most important in results, not the least of which is the restored j conhdenoe or toe people ot west lennessee, tboasands of whom are daily flocking to his standard. In addition to the military stores captured Gen.*Forrest brought away over 2,000 fine horses and mules. Three hundred of these he found in one Government Stable, "at Padooah, Kentucky. This surplus he ex* pects Ionise in equipping bis command. The goneral tenor of his information is to the effect that the long, languishing spir- ( it of the people of West Tennessee is fully aroused, and that in a short time General , Forrest's command wilt be so augmented { in numbers as to be invinoible against any force which the enemy can bring against it. j Indeed, there seems to bo that prescience , of viotory, which accompanies his every , movement, and which seems to ban? about ? - , ~r o j bis very name, that has so inspired the country with confidence, and his troops to 1 deeds of heroism that scarcely find a paral- . lei in the reoords of chivalry. When he will move, of where ha will strike the next blow, it is not for ns to say, but it will be a sad day for the enemy when he brings his legions against those who have so long and 1 30 cruelly oppressed them.

The Hoq Choleea A prominent and influential citizen' informs the Montgomery Advertiser that for a long time his porkers have suffered from this very common complaint.
