The news from General Grant’s department ia 'ereaseß in moment and interest. By an official de spatch of the rebel General Joseph Johnston, we learn that Pemberton waß defeated, near Edwards' Station, after, nine hours’ fighting, with a loss of Hhree thousand, among whom is General Lloyd ’Tilghman, killed. .General Pemberton fell back, /behind the Big Black river. This occurred on the 'JBthi two dayß after the capture of Jackson, which .Grant evacuated, probably on the 16t.h, to meet Pemberton towaids Vicksburg, before thejunotion with th&t-general of Johnston’s defeated Jackson foroes. Thus, Grant seems to have beaten both • WiDgß of the rebel army, to judge from hia own ac counts, compared with thOHC of the rebels. These successes are highly important and promising, but all the difficulties of the campaign are not yet con . quered. The Federal loan in the attack on Jackson was reported to the rebels at six hundred. Our troops captured sixteen guns. A report has reached. Murfreesboro, to date of the 21st, that the rebels ad mit the defeat of Johnston, and Grant's possession ot the railroad bridge across the Big Black, thus cutting yiok’sburg off from supplies and reinforce ments. Thus far, Grant, and Grant’s generals, have beaten the rebels in live superior battles, - In the British Parliament, on the 18th, Earl Shaftesbury denounced, with severity, the Polish policy of Prussia, and exposed the real character of the Russian rule of Poland. After denouncing as evasive the fair-seeming professions of the Em- : peror's Government in the recent diplomatic cor respondence, he asserted that the only cure for the evils which existed was tlie separation of Poland from Russia,|p which, as well as to the other Euro pean Powers, she was a source of weakness and peril. ■ Earl Russell expresaed great confidence in the humane intention, of the Czar, but he could not' see how, after years of oppression and perfidy, the Poles were to exhibit that confidence in hia Majesty’s policy, without which, according to Prince Gortschakoff, it was impossible to hope, for a fair trial of the promised concessions. The question of '-separation was surrounded with great' difficulties, _j»nd involved the possibility of a long and costly ■war, into which her Majesty’s Government 11 would be loth to enter without the most pressing neces sity.” - An ex i-j-: d itjox, comprising seven or eight regi ments of Minnesota volunteers, has started against the Sioux Indians, who number about 12,000, and are encamped near Devil's Lake. Gen. Sibley, who commands the expedition, thinks they will fall back towards British territory as the expe dition advances. One desperate and bloody battle appears Inevitable before a final reckoning can be had with these murderous belligerents; A bright future seems now open to Minnesota. Ten months jaince an immense agricultural region of unsur passed fertility was, in large part, owned by savages, .and all of it at their niefcy. The Sioux and Winne bagoes then numbered 13,000. How the southern half them harsh or mysterious. They know that in such a crisis somebody must frequently assume grave and- radical responsibilities ; and they remember with gratitude, that if ibis lmd not been done in many cases here tofore, we should- have no Government to boast of, and would now be called upon to repel the rebel hordes from our now en crimsoned borders. It is upon them and upon the patriotic mon who follow a patriotic, public opinion that the President musrreiy. Without these, he would be as helpless and as vacillating as tho enemies of his countiy falsely assert that he is and sincerely desire him to be. " TBE WAR IN THE SOUTHWEST. UO M H Alt DM Kfi T of PORT . lIUD SO IV. Our Gunboats Make a Vigorous Attack. New York, May 22,-The steamer Matanzas ar rived at this port this, evening, from New Orleans on the 13th inat. , An,on S her passengers is Colonel John S. Clark, of ! Geneial Banka’ staff. The following intelligence is furnished by the New Orleans papers: At midnight on the Bfh inst., our mortar fleet, as sisted by the iron-clad Essex and the sloop-of-war Richmond, commenced the bombardment of the lower batteries at Port Hudson. The fire was kept up.for'an hour, but the enemy did not respond. On the 9th trials were made to secure a more ac curate range, and at 10 o’clock at night another bombardment took place, which also continued for an hour without receiving any response. At three o’clock on the morning of the 10th, the batteries were for the third time bombarded, which was continued until o’clock, when the enemy replied, and the firing became rapid on both aides. The Essex was struck by shot, but not injured. The Richmond, with a full broadside, Bilenced the enemy’s guns. None of our vessels were injured. The correspondent of the New Orleans Era, who furnishes the above information, intimates that good news will fill his next letter, Lieutenant Colonel Blfickburn, of the 6th Illinois Cavalry, died at Osyka from his wounds. He re ceived kind attention, and his remains were pro perly buried. ■ All |he colored regiments in General Bankß’ de partment, except the engineer corps, have been turned over to General Ullmao, who will have the entire control of their equipment and organization. In addition to toe present four regiments that have been organized, there are already two thousand five hundred recruits in camp and under Instruction. General Oilman will immediately proceed to orga nizc a coipß d’ armde of infantry, artillery, and ca valry, under the command of white officers. All places of public resort in New Orleans, with the ex ception of-places of worship, have beenordered to display the national flag, and at all places of amuse ment the national airs will hereafter be played at the commencement and close of each night’s per formance. Captain N.F. Johnson, of the 25th Connecticut Regiment, died at New Orleans on the ltth. Admiral Farragut was serenaded by the Unionists of New Orleans, on the night of the 12th. The Bteamer United States, from New York, ar rived at New Orleans on the 13th. General McMillan and Lieutenant Colonel Ste vensj are passengers in toe Matanzas, as are also 47 discharged soldiers. The sloop-of-war Juniata arrived at Key West on the 17th. IT. S, Gunboat Fleet Ascending Red River, GEN. GRANT’S OPERATIONS. REPORTS OF PRICE AND MARMABUKE. Cairo, May 22.— The steamer Oity of Alton, from below, has arrived here. Our gunboats have ascended the Red river from Alexandria. The steamer Price succeeded in breaking the rebel raft loose, and it floated out of the way, while our boats proceeded up the river to Harrisonburg. They shelled the rebel battery at that point for two hours, without taking it. The accounts of the operations of Gen. Grant’s army up to the 17th inst. do not differ materially from the reports already published. The impression is gaining ground that General Grant is perfect master of the situation, Warrenton is in our possession, and teams are continually employed in hauling stores from that point. It was reported at Helena that Price and Mar maduke have a rebel force of ten thousand at Wiltsburg. Granville, Mississippi; a town of some four hundred inhabitants, haß been entirely destroyed. Fortress .Monroe, May 21.—The flag.of.truce steamer State of Maine, in charge of Captain John E.; Mulford, 3d New York Infantry; left for City Point this morning. She haß on hoard one hun dred and thirty rebel officers and about four hundred privates. * *>v.. : r~- ? Lieutenant Colonel C. W. Thomas, chief quarter master -at ;this qpiace, was [ severely injured" this morning. His horse took fright on the main wharf, and became unmanageable. In passing’ the Com:’? missary ddpdt he came in collision' with a tree, the colonel was thrown from his gig and badly bruised. His Excellency Gov. Pierpont arrived this mom- : Ag by the Baltimore boat. v He left immediately for Cherrystone. . ,y About twelve o’clock last night three men, named, Ward, Lumson, and Bell, were arrested in; the at-; tempt to pass our lines at Deep Creek, about two miles from Norfolk. They had in their possession about two thousand five hundred dollars’worth of contraband goods. New York, May 22,—The storeship Conner, from Port Royal, brings news of a small engage ment, which took place on the night of the 14th inst., between a detachment of our forces and about a hundred rebel soldiers, on Morris Island, in which the latter were driven back across the creek. Our loss was one man slightly wounded. It seemed to be the general impression that the Moni tors would attempt a reduction of the outer forts along the beach, before again attacking Fort Sumpter. A British and a- French man-of-war arrived at Charleston on the Mth. A flag-of-truce boat from Charleston was refused aimittance by the blockading fleet, within their lines, on the ground that similar boats had used the flag of truce as a deception, in order to gain infor-' matron of our movements. . York, May 22,—Advices from Bermuda of the sth inst. give a I'UihOr that- Captain Sesames has resigned the command of the Alabama to his first’ officer, and taken command Of d flne Confederate ship, mounting twenty-two guns.

On the previous day she saw several chests-Df tea, and picked lip one, the contents of which were spoiled by salt water. It is surmised that they were the re mains of a homeward-bound East Indiaman de stroyed by the Alabama. Special Despatches to “ Tire Press.” 'Washixotox, May 22, 1863. An Excitement ISegarding.? a Fugitive To-day, in the fugitive-slave case which has been pending for several weeks before the Supreme Court for this district, the judges were .equally divided on the motion to discharge the relator by a writ of habeas corpus. Chief Justice Carter and Associate* Judge Fisher were of the opinion'that the power heretofore exercised in the JDiatrict of Columbia was still in force, upon the subject of the ■ fugitive* * law; while Associate Judges Ohiir and Wylie dis sented. Owing to this division, the fugitive was re manded, Bubject to the order.of Judge Wylie, who, having.issued the warrant of arrest, but subsequent ly decided (hat he had not the power to do so, dis charged the defendant from custody. , As the slave was leaving thepreeence of the Judges his owner seized him, whereupon Mr. Dban (one of his counsel) rescued him, and the aid of the polide was called for to prevent a breach* of the peacej which seemed imminent. Action: and counter &&. tion ensued oh both sides, after which the fugitive was delivered to the military authorities, to be held in custody till to-morrow, for the 1 further action of the judieiaiy.

Three men were arrested laat night at'Norfolk, and lodged in the jail, for attempting to smuggle goodß through our lines. As I have before hinted, there seems to be considerable traffic between the natives of that neighborhood and their friends in Richmond. Passes are procured at the provost’s office to go into the country to see dying relatives, or to haul provisions for a suffering family, -Their cart is secretly laden with contraband goods, and by making a long detour through the woods they are able to reach a sequestered spot on the edge of Deep oieelc. Here two boats awaited to convey them to the farther shore, and in a short time $2,600 worth of the most needful and useful articles in the world would have found their way to Richmond. Oapt. Iba, of the 173<1 Pennsylvania Regiment, suspecting something of this nature to be transpiring, wenf with three men to their outside picket station, called the “entrenched 11068,” where, he found three men— Ward Milison, with his cart, and M>ssrs. Bell and Swinson with about $2,600 worth of dry goods and fancy articles. This nelarious trade should be stop ped. and I hope the military authorities will exert all their energies to keep anything in the shape of sustenance from the rebel capital. The prisoners will be severely dealt with, ; Steamer State of Maine arrived here to-day, on her way to City Point, with one hundred and thirty-six rebel officers and four hundred privates'on board. Little or no news can be obtained from Richmond now, and we always succeed in gleaning some trifles 1 when these flag-of-truce boats return from City Point. His Exoellenoy Gov.

Italian affairs were debated, and some severe strictures paused on the Italian Government. In the House of Lords, Earls Shaftesbury and Har rowly strongly denounced the Russian policy to wards Poland, and asserted that separation was the only remedy.. - Earl Russell expressed great confidence in the humane intentions of the fOzar. The question of separation might involve a costly war, which. Eng land was loth to engage in without the most pressing necessity. He believed that the public opinion of Europe would influence the Russian Government to restore the Polish Constitution. , . It is reported that the Brazilian Minister-to Lon don is instructed to demand explanations, and, if un satisfactory, diplomatic relations will be suspended. The French Corpß Legislatif is dissolved, and the elections are fixed for the 3ist of May. and Ist of June. - The Bourse was dull at 69 f. 65c. The Polish question is unchanged. It is again as serted that Napoleon will pursue his object alone, if obligedto do so, and the insurgents confidently rely on his assistance. , Numerous engagements are reported, with vary ing successes. It is reported that the French Minister of Marine had ordered the forts on the Atlantic to prepare to receive the Swedish fleet. THE LATEST. Liverpool, May 9.—The Arabia’s news, to-day; imparted a cheerful feeling to the Federate in Liver pool, by the,encouraging deductions drawn from Gen. Banks’ progress. The loss of the Anglo-Saxon has created a painful sensation.

But, Btolidly as the public regard,the affair; there is no doubt that our Democratic prints are vastly exercised'in their minds about it, and feel deeply chagrined at the failure of their recent indig-f nation meeting'in thiH city to become contagious.. Had YnllaDdigham been conveyed through this State; on his way to the fort, (and the two companies of regulars appointed to escort him certainly were here a few days ago !) Governor Seymour was prepared torescue ” him by military force; and this same precious Governor of ours does not scruple to avow that be will oppose the entire 1 military strength of the State to the arreßt of any New Yorker as Yal landigham was arrested. And yet the said Seymour prates about his intense eagerness for the preserva tion of the Union, and his lack of all sympathy with’ the “peace” wing of the Democracy. He is a very: weak man, however, a mere tool and mouthpiece for worse men, and will hardly dare to commit any overt act just yet..

I still ad here to my original belief, that the, enforcement of - the conscription in New York, in any shape, or un der any circumstances, will be attended with sefioatf disturbances, if the Government does not take mea sures in advance to' have a strong force of United States troops in readiness fco prevention or sup- 1 . pressing riot.

The morning meeting convened at nine o’clock. The meeting was called .to order by the moderator, Prof. H. B. Smith. The tenth chapter of St. John was read, and the twenty eeventhhynm sung. < * Dr. Mills, -secretary of the Board of Education, re marked that the Assembly met on-historic ground; they met in the first church erected under tho’ denomination here. It was the place of meeting of many disii nguislied general assemblies. The speaker was present as a mem ber of the General Assembly of 1840, composed, of eighty seven members, who met in the lecture room of tui.3 church. Of these members he recognized bur one other member now present, and that was the venerable father before liim, the Rev. Dr. Cox. Dr. Huntingdon made a few remarks concerning tho progjee-s of the work of evangelization in Buffalo, W. Y., which he said was most satisfactory. Rev. Dr. Cox said hecouli corroborate the. words of his brother from Buflalo. He said that it was seventy-four years since the General Assembly first met in this church. It was then situated .in Market street. Our Government was then foiming, ard it was regarded as a ri/iiculous as sninptipn. General Washington was elected President of the United States, but could not be inaugurated on the 4th of March. This was done, however, on the 30th of April. The General Assembly met soon after, and Dr. Rogers, the moderator, addressed a most patriotic letter to General Washington. Thus the two nationalities of Church and State were reared together, and all was happy, harmonious, and patriotic. Until the troubles of 1817, which succeeded in bisecting the Presbyterian Church, nothing but union ana truth was known, it should be so now, and the speaker hoped that if any committee was to prepare an expression of the feelings of the Church on the national Question* he should he happy to let them have copies of the letters of General Washington and Dr. Rogers as exemplars in their report. The present condition of afta\rs brought to his mind the antithesis of the prophet' DameJ, where he says, ‘ * Jerusalem shall be bnitded up m troublous times. ’* ' . . The business nour having arrived, the minutes of the previous meeting were read and.approved, r ; On motion of Rev. Dr. Spear, it was ordered'that a committee ofnine be appointed to draft a suitable mi nnte expressing the feelings of this body on the present state of our country. On motion; it was resolved-jchat the Assembly proceed to the selection of a place for its next annual meeting. /Dr. Cox advocated the selection of Philadelphia. Western New York, Dayton, Ohio, Milwaukee, Newark, N. J., St. Louis, Rochester, ef. i-,-ana other plates were nominated, bat as tho roll of, members was not in the house, and no vote could-be taken, the consideration of the subject was laid on the table for the present. Consideration of the above-named subject was* re sumed almost immediately, and the debate conitnued for ■ sometime. Dr. Cox wit* drew his nomination ofPhila delphia, and the Assembly proceeded to vote upon the selection of a place of meeting, out of the cities of Day ton, St Louis, and Newark. The voice of the Assembly was as follow's; City of Dayton, 181; St. Louis, 10; New- Dayton having been selected, a committee of ar rangements was appointed. The moderator read off the names of the gentlemen appointed on the special com mittees. Excuses and leaves of absence from service l on the committees were heard and disposed of The synodi cal reports were received and referred to the committees appointed to examine them. Statistical reports and pul pit narratives of the different presbyteries, were appro- ; ■priately referred to the standing committees. Committee— Ministers: S.H.Cox, D.D., S. D. Gridley, D. D.. G. S.
