We are prepared, ee heretofore, to enpply famUlee at their Country Residence, with EVERT'DESCRIPTION OP " • FINE GROCERIES, TEAS, AO. ALBERT C. ROBERTS, my2l-tf CORNER ELEVENTH AND VIH* STS. A respected gentleman of this city received the following letter from an American of position in Liverpool. It is. important, as showing the dis heartenment of our caUße in England before the re cent victories: Bear Sir : I am in receipt of your letter of ,the 22d ult., enclosing the photograph of the whipped .negro. I have shown this to many persons. Senti ment here needs informing, and thing* like this make greater impressions than speeches. English .men do not like slavery, and, but for this, might ■'have recognized the South long ago. It is strange that the people here think, or, at leaßt, pretend to think, that slavery has nothing to do with the con test going on in our country. I was talking to*day with a gentleman who ran for Parliament, and he! told mc no one would admit that slavery was at the bottom of the question. They say that it is a fight for empire 5 that the North has oppressed the South with .tariffs, Ac., until the South could bear it no longer. Send me everything that can enlighten this ignorance. I am very desponding about affairs from home*: • "What ib to be.the end of the matter! It looks as if it ivere almost 11 all up” with us. The North invaded" and the people paralyzed—alas! my country, If t could do good r should run home-and take my mus ket in hand. It is a fearful stsuggle to look uppn from this distunce. I am nearly ready to despair; If I had not faith that there is a Clod in Heaven, whose ways are above our ways, and who works for the best in His own inscrutable way, I should quite despair. One of Laird’s iron-clad vessels was launched on Saturdayjast.- She is most formidable; will have two turrets; is coated with armor plates to 5 ■ inches thick; will sail ,l£ knots per hour, and has a ram in the stem projeotiDg 7 feet. No pains >»r ex pense have been spared to make her invulnerable. She is a most dangerous crafU and if hot Btopped will give us much trouble. One application haß been made to have her stopped, but with what avail is very doubtful. Truly yours, B, Affairs Around;Memphis.' Memphis, Tulj t 15, —Richardson, Brig. Gen. Rich ardson (writes the correspondent of the Missouri Sepublican)y is now at Wythe, a station on the rail road connecting Memphis and Humboldt, and but a few miles from this city, with a force of not less than 1,000 menj most of whom, at the commencement of the prepent war, counted one of their party-fully equal to ten Yankees; but; placingthem in ratio as, five to one, he (Richardson) has under his command .not Jess than 5,000 effective fighters. Gen. George is said to be out on the Hernando road, near the Cold water, with an army of 800 (equal keee), and Gen. Forrest is Bomewhere hear Jack son, His army is kept, by those who manufacture rebel news by wholesale, a profound secret. But let us suppose he has 1,000 men. which is certainly under-estimating his army. Each and every one of these 3,000 men have a good horse, are well equipped, and are recolyed to conquer or die. Such is the states ment of those” with whom your correspondent-has conversed, and who, at the same time, claim to have all the information worth anything relating to that point. In making the estimate of the Confederate strength in this section of Tennessee, I wißh it dis tinctly borne in mind I; am making it according to the approved figures of the choicest specimens of rebel leaders who formerly lived in this city. But let me bring proof to substantiate what I have writ ten. When it was known that General Beauregard had been defeated at Shiloh, the old gentlemen of this city, those above fifty years of age, formed them* selves into a mammoth cavalry regiment, having for •its object tjie total annihilation of the “ vandals” under the command of General Grant. To make the organization more terrible-in its effects, a cer tain oath was administered to every man, and those who were not witting to subscribe to it in full were denounced as cowards. The oath had been adminis tered-to about fifty men, all of whom Bigned it with a will that indicated that the soil of Tennessee would be bleached with Yankee blood, when Judge Brown, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, arose and objected to the farther administration of the oath till he had been permitted to make a few remarks, No man could commandmore respectamongthefol lowers of Jefferson Davis than that gentleman ; the audience was as quiet as if at a funeral. Judge Brown said—Gentlcmcn\and Soldiers t I have been a quiet-participator in the actions of this meeting. A-large*number of young men have this evening sworn to meet and slay ten Taukees., This 'is asl it should be. There now remains in this room about three hundred of my fellow-citizens, who, like -myself, have passed the meridian'or life, and our powers of endurance are, not equal to those who have already been sworn; i, therefore, move that the oath.be so amended bb to require of us—l mean those above sixty years old—to only slay Jite Yan kees. For my part, lam willing to kill my jive, but more than that number I do not feel able to prepare for their long homes.” ■ ■ On the receipt-of the above speech, the meeting adjourned to convene again to discuss the amend ment of Judgeßrown. Soon after that the Y ankees took MemphisVand the ten-to-one military organi zation came to a sudden conclusion. Butsome of its members, however, have since joinedi the rebel ranks, not of their own free will but, by being ’scripted. When men are willing to state, under oath, that each one will sho w himßelf equal to ten Yankees, it iB fair to estimate the combined armies of Richardson, -Forrest, and George, at 30,000 effect ive men. UNDERCLOTHING, A*. Let me pass- from the military to the political arena for only a few minutes. It will be remem bered that Emerson Etheridge 1b one of the most noted politicians in this State, and as a stump speaker he has but few superiors among the Ten neßßeans. In consideration of those qualities the committee invested with the power to invite speak ers to address the 6th of June celebration in this ciiy, extended an.invitation to Mr. Etheridge. He replied to the chairman of the committee, Mr* To* meny, to the effect that the meeting and its Objects were humbugs. This drew a note from Mr. T.,ia which he set up his shortcoming*, political and social, to the public gaze in httytbing but commen dary language to Mr. E. Mr. Tomeny haa received the following reply : . /: ' L ‘ ‘ . frew York, June 20. **A«w«nHHa irill. ' : -i? ou are ? ..,.ig puppy! The day. will come when .you will crawl in your hole, and pull the hole in after you.

I would like to get % fair chance ai you! E. ETHERIDGE. JOHNSTON’S FUGITIVE ABMY. General* Johnaton’s army, if we are to believe the accounts of deserters who left him after the retreat from Jackson, is an army of fugitives. From them Hearn that when they were informed of the inten tion of the Uommanding General to retreat, a shout Of joy went up throughout the rebel camps,. The: experience they had ini the few days our army was in front off their position, and the constant and accu rate Are, both from artillery and musketry, con vinced them that, with the prestige of victory on our side and the desponding effect of defeat on theirs, further resistance would be useless. Added to this there were many rebel troops who had never been under fire. Included among them were ten regiments from South Carolina, and several regi ments of extemporized troops, composed of the ex* tremeß—men over age for military purposes, and lads under age. In the latter there was no disci pline—nothing but the veriest rabble—and when our shell would strike in their camps they would run panic-stricken to their caves, which they had judiciously dug in the ground. On one occasion their fright came near spreading a panic throughout the whole of Johnston’s army.— Correspondence Herald, Colonel Saunders’ Command defeated at Ilfcliinoistl—Tire Rebels, under Fegram, Two Thousand string-national Forces in their Rear. Cincinnati, July 29.—The following-information was received at headquarters last night: Colonel Pegram, with between 1,600 and 2,000 re bels, crossed the Cumberland river a day or two since and moved* north towards Richmond, Ken tucky. He was in the vicinity ol that place at the last accounts. The prevailing opinion in military circles here is that Pegram, when he started, was not aware of the capture of Morgan, and contem plated assisting him to escape. The disposal of our forces in Kentucky is such tliatit will be impossible for him to advance much further or to escape.'- Cincinnati, July 29.—Morgan is disposed of in time for Burnside to attend to fresh focß now advan cing towards Lexington, Ky.

Sauo ders.were attacked at Richmond yesterday, morning, overpowered, badly cut up, and compelled to fall back on the Kentucky river, which they crossed, pursued by the enemy, and retreated on Lexington. The people south of Kentucky river were panic stricken, And fled north, bringing improbable ru mors of the advance of eighteen thousand rebels via Crab Orchard, with Buckner and fifteen thousand more in reserve at Knoxville—all improbable. Mar tial-law was declared in Lexington, and ail the citizens-were called to arms. Gen. Hasoall com mands the post. Gen, Burnside has gone to Lex ington. - The Hickman bridgeis strongly guarded,' and the' rebels will not probably cross the river. Gen. Por ter’s and Gen Gilmore’s commands arc in the rear of the rebels; so they will not probably remain long in Central Kentucky. THURSDAY, JULY bO, 1863. Our Cause in England. Liverpool, July 10.

Napoleon's Detignt of Empire—Tile Spanish Alliance—Lord Palmerston Dissatisfied— Jerome Bonaparte- Southern Recognition* PERMANENCY OFFJRENOH OCCUPATION; ' CFrom La Nation o f . Paris, July 15:3 The French occupation of Mexico will last as long as will, be necessary to assure-forever in-that coun try the operation of an honest and regular govern ments The people themselves would eventually be called upon to decide, In every case France would take : possession of Sonora, and would establish in. one of the ports of that region a French: military station for the protection l of her commerce and of such Frenchmen as might go there to resided We. understand that already the Government is calling* the attention of,iapitaHstfe‘tb- numerous sources of wealth to be exploited in -that magnificent country.' This appeal'to industry, arid the sending of troops and munitions that arc beinggot ready in our arsenaU and ports, are of a nature to lead to the belief that the Government expects to be installed at Mexico for quite a long time. SPAIN TO RENEW HER ALLIANCE WITH ' • FRANCE. ' [From La Patrie of Paris, -July 17. ] The Spanish conservative journals recommend the Government to seize the oocasion presented' by the ■ entry of our troopß into' Mexico to resume negotia tions with France on the Mexican subject. . According to other journals a considerable person age has been charged to initiate measures to. renew the understanding of the two Powers on the basis of the convention of London. ...It is probable that when, the period of military operations may be'considered as. definitely ended. France and' Spain will, reaume the question at the point where it was left by the verbal notes exchanged between M; Drouyn de Xhuys and the Marquis of . Havana.in.the latter months of 1862, but we have as yet no information .of overtures having been made either/at Madrid by .MJ Parrot, or at Faris by M, . Isturitz or Marshal O'Donnell. /We inay add that everything leads to the belief that if negotiations are renewed in opportune time they will follow the ordinary diplomatic course, and that we may probably attribute to the. voyage of the Duke of Telban to France, and to the invitation ex tended to him to proceed to the: camp of Chalons, the rumor collected by the Madrid presß., However that may .be, it appears certain that Spain will not hesitate to recognize any native 'Government that may be established in Mexico in place of that of Juarez-. LORD PALMERSTON INCLINED TO G-RUM- A. - . BLE. ... •• [From La Patrie, July 13 3 . The news of the surrender of Mexioo and of its occupation, by the French troops has thrown the English press into a state of astonishment which the Morning .Post does not conceal.- Lord Palmer ston's journal even evinces great embarassment as to applauding thiß fortunate event. Unable to de ny its importance, it endeavors to question the good effects that are to be expected from it. Singu lar. disposition on the part of a ministerial journal! Strange attitude for the organ of an. allied govern ment! But it must be recollected that if.the English Cabinet did consent, nearly two yearß ago, to take part in an expedition to Mexico, it not only disengaged itself at Soledad but even made common cause, for a time, with .the Juarez government;through the British, Minister at Mexi co. The surrender of the Mexican capital is , therefore , almost a defeat for' Lord' Palmerston's policy. Still, it would have been better for the Post to have disßi milated its regrets, lor we are convinced that Lord Palmerston will not fail, if he have the opportuni ty, to applaud in the House of Commons the last success of our expedition. The' diplomacy of the Cabinet of St. James has inexhaustible resources ; it knows how to hold itself prepared for all events, and while the representative of England alone ob* tained the right of rojotuning at Mexico to assist at the victories of Juarez, Lord Palmerston at Lon don left thndoor open for new negotiation, so that the Queen's government might take advantage of the victories of France. The English minister has nulling, moreto do at Mexico, but Lord Palmerston is setting himself to work at London and Paris; * ' .

ALVAREZ ON NAPOLEON’S VIEWS. The following letter from Don Diego Alvarez, Go-' vernorofthe State of Guerrero, to the editor of Lc Vds-.de Mejico. ol San Francisco; reveals some of the workings of the plot. It iB dated on the 18th of June:. 4 .,- ; IJlv Di£.Ait Friisno :• As I told you in my previous letter, the church party has thrown off its mask, as you will see by the newspaper El Cronista de Mexico >of the 6th instant, which-was transmitted to me by a friend of mine.. Regular communication with the capital has been interrupted Binde the 31st of May; at which date'the constitutional government had been removed to San Luis Potoai. By the article will see in the Cronista, copied from Ld Monarqida, you will comprehend ho w far the shortsightedness ..of this band of traitors ex tends. Here is ah extract: “This [theoccupation Of the city of Mexico by the French] settles with ab tolute certainty at this time that it is necessary to extirpate by the root the democratic element, and not continue dreaming of popular, sovereignty, but to banish forever such vain and useless theories.” The tone with Which" these traitor .“intervention ists” speak already (aßyou'will' see by the proceed ings which followed, after the before-mentioned ar- tide,) amoiig whom figures very conspicuously the celebrated Padre Miranda, the rest being principally military reaotionists and priests; demonstrates per fectly well that they are unanimously in opirilba"' with Forey, and undoubtedly have received their - instructions from hU.camp.. • . . Ibeliev'e that it is indispensable that these news paper articles be published to the world, in order that they may be the voice of alarm for the American continent.' In-view of their publication, the doubts and vacillations of the Government at Washington will.no longer continue; biit the United States will hasten to co-operate. In favor of a Bister republic, for it is not alone Mexico which will be de stroyed, but the very Bourfce of the democratic ele ment. Undoubtedly nobody will deny but that the source exists.in the United States, and it is there that they wish to reach, as itwas so accurately said on a late occasion by the Senator from California, Mr. McDougall, in the Cdngress of <the United States.' V- ,j-- .. The views of Napoleon in the occupation of Mexi co are, that it will enable, him to place his foot on China, and extract from there Its accumulated trea sures. These are only the means to reach to anoth er end, and that end is the establishment of univer sal monarchy, extirpating all the American repub. lies, in order to enable him to cement hiß dynasty.* He may mistake in the means for the consummation of this colossal project, which I think impossible in the present age we live in; but he who sees not this thought in all its forms, which to this day has been marked out during his reign, is assuredly blind. I urge you still to continue to stimulate the Mexi can patriots in California to help in every way they can the mother Country, and for them to hasten home to take a part in the horrible contest that is about to be opened ; and as the present war dQes notonly concern Mexicans, bufe all American re publics who wish to preserve their nationalities, you will do well to invite the Americans to take a part in our aff airs, as the present war affeots tlie in dependence oT the United Siateß.

ALLIANCE WITH THE SOUTH. [From Corjeepondence of theN. Y. Times.) The opinion grows stronger that the Emperor has designs of fixing himself permanently in Mexico,-and that this design is in some way basedupon a reoogni tion.of the Southern Confederacy and an alliance with it. The France, Bonapartist organ, contained, a few days ago, ; a long article on the subject from Which I copy the following paragraph: ;; , “ Who will dare to say that a recognition of the Confederacy will bring us a war with the Northern States? Where have these States a navy strong enough to resist at the same time France, England, ..and the Southern States? How great will be the terror exercised at Washington and New York by a , French army, backed by the army and the people of the South! The recognition of the South cannot, therefore, bring any harm, but only good to France.” \° . This quotation shows very correctly the general opinion of Frenchmen on the war question between the two countries. They think they can wipe us from the seas in.a month, and disperse our armies merely by the terror of their name ! _THE NEW EMPEROR.—The Mexicans had an Emperor, and Mexico wab an Empire, forty years ago. The unfortunate Iturbide ruled but ten months, when the crown tumbled from his head, and’ he vamoosed from Mexico—to which country he re turned subsequently only to be executed as a trai tor. We doubt very much if the newly-proclaimed Mexican Empire of Maximilian I. will endure as long as that of his imperial prototype, Augustin I. It is true we are told the Mexicans are very enthu siastic for the Empire now - but the Emperor Itur bide informs us, isnj/the sketch of his career written by himself, thaVon the proclamation of the first Empire, “ ‘Longlive AugustinT.’ was the univer sal cry of the .army and ; of the people.” If Maxi milian really puts on the imperial purple, we ven ture to hint for his benefit the probability that it will soon be torn off him, and that its hue then w»U 'be crimson.—Times. • ■ A SLAVE. —We take the following from the Vicksburg correspondence of the Missouri Demo crat: I: will relate an incident, which occurred this morning, at the expense of a gallant young soldier. He was; prospecting around town, when his atten tion was attracted to a stable of very fine horses. While admiring their fine points; he was surprised by the appearance of a very fascinating young lady, as she emerged from another apartment of the horse house, and bowed politely, and smiled killingly upon him. He stammered out something like an apology for his seeming intrusion, mixing up’the words “proclamation” and “ confiscation,’’ &c., and ended by asking who was the owner of the place ? “Dr. Neely,” replied the lady, “And you—you are his wife?” said the soldier, doubtfully. “ No.” said the lady. - “Tlien hlB daughter?”—this was .said very 5mi11r'6,Jr...... lr '6 , Jr...... llls slcc«, perkaps jll cnleatlqgi y. } fid thAtl know 6£H “ Then a lady friend, on a visit?”—puzzlingly, “ No. not that, either. “ Well,. then, may I be permitted to ask who you are?” “Certainly.” replied the lady, who had enjoyed the soldier’s discomfiture with a piquant relish. “ I am his;slave.’? . , The soldier gave one long, last, lingering look, and with a low whistle, departed. SIEGES. —An exchange alludes to the siege of * Vicksbuig as one of the most protracted on record.

The 1 enemy did not capture any organized body of men on tha.t occasion, but ; only stragglers and such as. were left asleep , on the road; exhausted by the fa tigue and exposure of one of the; most inclement nights Thave ever known at.thia season of the year. - It rained without cessation, rendering the road by which our troops marched to the bridge at Falling Waters very difficult to pass, and causing so much delay that, the last of the troops did not cross the ; river at the bridge uiitil l P. M. on the 14th. While the column was thus detained on the road, . a. number of, men; worn down with fatigue, lay down in barns and by the roadaide, and, though offi cers were gent back to arouse,., them, as the troops' moved on the darkneßß and; rain,prevented -them from finding all, and many were in this way left be hind; Two/guns ; were left in theroad. The horses : that drew them became exhausted, and the'officers went forward to procure ethers. When they returned the rearof the column had passed the guns so far that it was deemed unsafe to send back, for them, - and they were thus lost. No arms, cannon, or pri soners were taken by the enemy in battle, but only such as were left behind under the circumstances have described.

About eight o’olook the desultory cannonade with which the .experience of a week had made our com munity familiar was again heard. For nearly three hours the (enemy’s fire was - maintained with the. usual deliberation; but about eleven o’clock it was noticed that the reports came in far more rapid suc cession. By noon it became well understood that the foe was: resolved to subject our position to an ordeal much more severe than any which, up to that time, it bad encountered. At that hour, as we learn by accounts from'Morris Island, the converging fire of the enemy against the battery had become ;, / tiuly. fearful/( Five monitors, the frigate Ironsides, seven wooden ,gunboats with the land batteries which the Y ankees had thrown up on the lower part of the islandj kept up a constant rain of shot and shell into our works. No leea than sixty- five heavy/ guns and eight mortars are known to have Jbeen in play against us.; At one time; so rapid w;as the fire, • that the reports averaged twenty-seven 1 per minute. One of the; monitors lay northeast of Battery Wag ner, andtwo to the southeast, while the.otfcere, with the Ironsides, kept a position.neaxly opposite the ' sea-face of‘the battery. The wooden gunboats ma- Yceuvred at some distance outside the .line of tur reted monsters, relying chiefly thfeirlong-range rifled siege guns- There were two Yankee batteries on Morris Island—one, consisting of two guns and a mortar, war located, at Craig’s h tS f within about eight hundred yardfrof our battery ? the other was beyond Graham’s bouse, and had an armament of eight rifled shell giSns; ’ It la estimated that during the day no lesß than nine thousand shelte'WeTe fired at'the battery. THE BOMBARDMEB?, AS VIEWED FROM TICB CITT, was a grand, (terrible eight.. The horizon, from’Fort Moultrie'to Vinegar Hill, was crowned with'the shifting masses of the arnoke of the conflict. Bkeh moment the enemy’s shells, -sometimes Bingly; some-' timesin clusters, could be -’seen bursting just above the site of Battery Wagner; but when, at intervals, the clbudsof white smoke lifted for a time from the scene, the flag of the brave, garrison could be seen still waving-defiantly in the breeze, while with'griiu*’ regularity and deliberation bur guns kept replying: to the foe. ...

THE. NIGHT- ATTACK. At.a lew minutes before 8 o’clock our pickets gave notice that 1 the enemy, in heavy force, was moving to the assault. Thie attack wab not unexpected, ana our men, though much jaded by the fatigues and ex posure of the day, sprang'to their places with zeal and alacrity. The enemy advanced in two columns of about three thousand men each, the whole under command of Strong. 'The column which attacked our right wascomposed partially of negro troops, who were put- in the advance. On our left the other’columh advanoed with spirit, under a severe fire from the and coluinbiads from Fort Sumpter, As the column advanced at the double quick the guns of Battery Wagner also opened. When the enemy had-reaohed a point about Bixty yards distant our infantry, posted behind the para pet, poured a galling fire into the moving masses 5 the Yankees, nevertheless,, in considerable force, succeeded in gaining the'trench, and began to clam ber up the sides of the battery. At this moment Lieut. Watles* of Blake’s battery, whowas ;in\ charge of two brass howitzers,, (belonging to a de tachment of artillery under Captain DePass.ot White’s - battalion,) opened a raking fire; which Bwept the trench, playing terrific havoc in the ranks of the.aeeailants. The howitzers had been assigned to .this position, which .they occupied so advan tageously foruß, at'the instance oL,CoI. Harris, of the engineers, all the horses belonging to the sec tionhaving been put hors de combat during the day. Twice the enemy was driven back at this part of our works, (the left,) and the trench filled with the enemy’s dead attests the severity of the conflict there. On the right,thenegro.troops were met with a ter-‘ rible cross* fire of musketry. Here were posted, among other troops, the Charleston battalion, and these gallant men behaved in a manner worthy the fame their organization had-eb dearly won at Seces sionville. The second assault was still more despe rate than the first ; but 5 it was met and repelled in the same gallant: style by the brave troops, Geor gians, North Carolinians, and eons of our ownksity, who stood shoulder to shoulder in the fight. In the centre of our lines a small body of the enemy suc ceeded in gaining a lodgement-in a Balient, the gun of .which had been r disabled. Here they maintained their position for more than an hour. A gallant but unsuccessful attempt was made to dislodge them, in which Captain Ryan fell, and it- was not until a small force of Georgians had- ascended the maga zine and ihus gained a position to command the sa lient that the audacious Yankees surrendered. At the time that this occurred the firing else where had ceased, and the Georgians-accomplished their pur pose without firing a gun. The movement by which this was effected was undertaken at the suggestion of .Col. Harris. THE RELATIVE LOSSES. , The fight lasted from eight until eleven P. M., and .. was of a desperate character throughout. The enemy’s losses were very heavy. Hie killed and wounded must have been at least 1,600. The num ber of his dead left on the field and buried by us yes terday exceeded. 600, We captured: over 200 prison ers, including a few of the negro troops. Our"own losses were comparatively light. It is estimated that our killed and wounded'will not ex-- ceed 100. Among these, however, were'some'va luable ofßcers, such as Lieutenant Colonel SimkimT and CaptaimTatum, of the Ist South Carolina in fantry, and Chptain Ryan, of the Charleston bat talion, killed,'and Major Ramsay, of the Charleston battalion, severely wounded. , Wounded—Captain Warren Adams, Company H, in the back and head: Lieutenant L. H. Twiggs, In-- spector General ? on Gen. Taliaferro’s staff, wounded by a shell; Captain Stoney, of GeneralTaliaferro’s staff; woundecT through the groin Bridg man. Boyle . and Sparks, of the Ist South Carolina artillery regulars, were killed. Lieutenant Powe was wounded in the right arm. Fort Wagner occupies nearly, the site of a small sea battery constructed under the direction of the late Col. Thomas M. Wagner.' Indeed, a small por tion of thissea battery is incorporated in the para pets and traverses of this fort. The importance of the site, as commanding the land approach to Cum in lug’s Point, we are: informed; induced Captain Francis D. Lee, of the engineers, then in charge of the harbor defences, to i.press the great necessity of the_worlt. Captain LeVs designs having been ap proved by General Pemberton, the work was rapidly carried to completion, under his direction, by the lamented Captain Langdon Cheves. , Col. Boston, who commanded the 54th Massachusetts waß. killed on our j The lieutenant- colonel of .the same regi ment surrendered hlfl tot.Col.

Dr. Locke,M>f the United States navy, and the adjutant of a Connec ticut regiment, were captured, and a Yankee assist ant adjutant general was killed. Gen. Taliaferro commanded our troops on the island during the fight, and is universally commend ed for the gallantry, coolness, and efficiency which he displayed on the occasion. Lieut; CoL Simkins, who fell Bhot. through the breast, commanded the artillery, of the post. We learn that Lieut. Colonel Del Kemper, the distin guished Virginia artillerist, succeeds him. [From the Richmond Examiner. July 26 ] MORGAN AND LEE’S RA.IDS. No!; • Morgan’s expedition, was not a failure. With - twentyffiye hundred men he traversed two enoimous States froth end to end, occupied their principal towns at pleasure, cut their arteries of communication, burne d£p6tß, destroyed engines, sunk steamboats innumerable. He threw several millions of people into frantic consternation for the safety of their property, turned entire populations, into fugitives, and compelled a hundred thousand men to leave their occupations for weeks and go un der arms, only as an equivalent to him and his twen ty-five hundred troops. What if he has been hemmed in at last, and compelled to surrender! Twenty-five hundred-have been added to the Yankee exchange list, a great matter, truly, at this stage, of the war 1 Is not the temporary loss of their services ten times, twenty times, a hundred times compensated by the blows struck, the loss they have inflicted, panic they have created! „ - ■ - a .

Her relations had done their utmost to persuade and even force her to remain at home, but she threatened to commit suicide if she were detained; and they feared that she might keep her word. She had changed her name from “ M&rya” to “ Maryan «(the Christian name of Langiewle2),- and was known in her company as “Panna Maryan,” or, as Englishmen, if they had met her in the woods, would have called her, .“Maid Marian.” “Maid Marian,” he says, “has now returned to her family, aod I am sorry tp have to add that this prodigal daughter—prodi gal, at least, in deeds of daring—is badly wound ed.” Another correspondent thus relates the wondeiful escape made by this girl, (who is about 19 years of age,) after the defeat of the recent attempt by the Poles in Yolbynia: “Having lain hid for some hours in the tall reeds by the side of a pond, she at last took courage to look about her, and at no great distance perceived the head of a man with a lon o, beard projecting out of the water. Feeling con vinced ihafc, like herself, the owner of this head was hiding from the Russians, she managed to attract his attention, and learned from him that he was an Italian called Antonello, and a survivor of Horo dyski’s rash enterprise. The Italian, of course, at once offered his assistance to the young lady, who,' notwithstanding her wound; accomplished on foot the distance—about two English miles—to the Aub trian frontier. In Antonello,' the Italian. I recog nized at once my friend Sienkiewitz, who, though a Pole, after fifteen years’ service in the Italian army, has become bo thoroughly Italian that he speaks his adopted better than his native tongue, and prefer to:fall into the hands of the Russians as an Italian rather than as a Pole, assumed a fictitious name.” * The Story or a Minister:ax A.rrointment.— The Journal des Debats gives the folio wing account of the circumstances attendant upon the elevation of M; Duruy to the Minister of Pufilic Instruction, which, it is stated, prove that the Emperor was led to make this appointment by the highest motives. - At a meeting of the Council of Ministers, the Em peror entered with-a book under his arm, and in quired of M.

The Minister spoke of Mb high- capacity and his talents as a pro fessor. The following day, the Emperor sent for M.

During the interviews that have taken place the Emperor was mucmstruck With the high intellectual powers of M.

Irish Titles or Honor.— Titles of honor are still borne by the representatives of some of the old Milesian families in Ireland. Some of these titles have become extinct in course of time, such as the M’Carty More,: the "White Knight,, the OiSullivan Bear, the QlMoore,' Nv., and some have been merged in peerages.

The two first of these represent Irish constituencies, and it is be lieved-are the only Irish chieftains, who have adhered to the national religion; alltheothers are Protes tants. Indeeditis acurlous circumstance that while we see the O’Neills, the O’Brienß, the O’Oallighans, the O’Byrnes, indeed almost all the lineal descend ants of the old Irish families, staunch Protestants (some of them even Orangemen ; the late Lord O’Neill was Grand Master of the Oraogeme-- find, on the other hand, that the le*-*' ...j ;we Catholic nobility and gentry in T - ...umg Homan of English and Probes*" - . .reland are mostly Brownes, Earls n f " . —at extraction.
