—A Yorktown correspondent of the World
tells us how our men can throw up fortificatione right io the face, and in plain sight
of the enemy without being seriously disturbed by them:
A working party is detailed for night
doty; with muskets elang on their backs
and shovels and picks on their shoulders,
they proceed to the selected und. The
white tape marks the line of excavation,
the dark lanterns are “faced to the rear.’’
the muskets are carefully laia aside; the
shovels are in hand, and each man silently
. commences to dig. Nota word ie spoken;
i
not one spade clicks against another; each
man first digs a hole large enough to cover
himself; he then turns and digs to his right
hand neighbor; then the ditch deepens and
widens, and the parapet rises, Yet all is
silent; the relief comes and the weary oner
retire; the words and jests of the enemy are
often plainly beard, while no noiee from our
men disturbs the stillness, save the dull rattle of the earth as each epadeful is thrown
to the top. At daylight, a long line of
earthwortbe, affording complete protection
to our men, greets the astonished eyes of
our enemy, while the sbarpshooter’s bullets
greet their ears. Frequently this work is
done in open daylight, the sharpshooters
and pickets keeping the enemy from annoying our men,

ARKANSAS.—A correspondent. of the Missouri Republican, who traveled with the
Union army io Arkansas, writing from Salem, eays:
Very few incidents occurred on the way,
the people generally remaining quietly at
home, and many of them showing signs of
rejoicing at the deliverance they have experienced from rebel misrule and tyranny.
Their condact in this respect is in marked
contrast with that of the people of south.
west Missouri, and there is evidently a better feeling towards the old Government of
the k'ederal Union in Arkanevs than among
the rebel portions of Missouri. Everywhere
the opinion is prevalent that the Southern
Confederacy is about to collapse and go under—many Secessionists themselves confeesing the same thing. All! at once, their
conduct has become much more respectful
towards Union men, and many seem anxious to renew old friendships, where, for
months, there has been bitter alienation.

Yaneey’s Hopes of European Interterence.
A gentleman, of Alabama, who bas long
held a high position there, and who wasone
of the Commissioners from that State to
Texas, after the Secession of the former,
writes a letter to a friend im Maripora
county, in this State, from which the Gazette makes the following extract:
T bad a long conversion with Yancey a
few days ago about our prospects in ko.
rope. He says that no European power
will interfere to puta stop to the war as
longas they think that the Confederate
States will be able to maintain their independence; that although there may be
much distress for want of cotton, that it
would be cheaper to relieve the distress
than to incur the expenses of the war that
would result from their interference. He
says that France and England are determined that the Union shall never be restored, but would prefer seeing the present
war last as long as poeeible; because the
longer the war continues and the more bitter the feelings engendered by it, the stronger will be the position of monarchy in Europe. He says that democracy has been
growing in Europe ever since the formation
of the United States Government; and had
the Government been controlled by Beacon
and justice, instead of fanaticism, in twenty
years there would have been a complete
revolution in Europe, and every monarchy
overturned, with the exception of Russia.
But that the present war bas nearly eradicated the democratic party in Europe, and
monarchy is etronger now than it bas been
for fifty years, If this war should continue a few years longer, the man who rhould
advocate a Republic in Europe, would be
deemed Insane. He says that they think
that if they were to interfere and stop the
war, it might be argued thatforeign interference broke up the Government, which
otherwiee would have maintained itself :
bat let it fall to pieces through its own rottenness, and movarchy is established for
centuries to come. He tells me that he
spoke with many statesmen in Europe who
argued that a republican government could
not succeed in either the Northern or Southern States, after the war, on account of
the military spirit that would prevail, and
the concentration of capital, which is always one of the results of war. A distinguished statesman in France argues that
the United States Government bad been
growing too powerful for the safety of other Governments, and that had not the present division taken place, European powers
would have tried to curb her growth, for
fear of her interference in European politics; but that now she was divided, she was
no longer to be feared. But that it would
be for England and France to eee that rhe
was notre-united. I have not time to write
furtber but will embrace the first oppartunity of writing again.
Sewarp's Mexican Circu.ar my Evrore.
—We published, a few days ago, the circular of Secretary Seward, sent to our foreign
ministers, aguinst the establishent of a monarchy in Mexico, etc. This circular was
addressed to all European Governments,
and was first given to the public through
the French papers. A Paris correspondent
Bays:
The appearance of the diplomatic circular
written by Mr. Seward, under date of March
3d, bas produced a vivid sensation in Europe. This important ducument has of couree
been translated into the various Janguages
of the continent, and republiebed by all the
infinential journals. There appears to be
but one opinion on the eubject—viz: that it
is the settled purpose of the United States
to oppose the attempts of European powers
to substitute a monarcbial for the republican form of government in Mexico, as well
as the permanent occupation by foreign
troops which such a change of regime would
necessarily vi a It is remarked that
the perfect courtasy of the language employed by the Secretary of State, dues not
revent him from unequivocally manifestng the dissatisfaction of the United States
at the events which bave already resulted
from the European expedition to the Gulf.

Bays;
“Davia will not be caught. He will probably escape through Texas into Mexico. To

A Destnapie Corrs To Jomw.—A New Orleans paper of March 29th, states thata
company of 103 young girls, armed and
equipped for the war, were to embark from
that place. That would be a glorious company to command. Who would object to
drilling them?
