GENES AL CANBY'S ARMY. OPERATION l" I.OI ISIAA. Vryr York, July 18. A private letter front Morganida, Juno SUtb, states that Gen. Canby is Tory actively engaged in perfecting the arrange' mentafoi tbe military operations in tho vicinity of Merganzia and tho Hed River. General Ullman, with a largo portion of his forces, had reached Morgaur.ia, where, he had been placed in command of all the colored troop. The fortifications ut Morgauzia aro most for midable, and command a range of some .six miles of the Mississippi river, which at this point makes a bend fur some distance. The position is deemed of the utmost import aucr, being eqiii-distant from J'ort Hudson and the ficd river, thus forming a btio considered by all military men as the key to tho lied river country. The Kebels have a largo force stationed on the west bank of tho Atchatmaya, niuo miles iu the rear of Moritan.la. The corps being organized near Jforpuuiii is to be under the command of Mr.jor-Guueial Kcynolds, and it is expected that the movement for the Uinlodgiuetit of tho llehcl army on the Ateliafaluva will oon commence. General McNeill is at Fort Hudson, in com mand of the garrison left by General I llma-i. Tlio guerillas arc somewhat active between Tort Hudson and Yicksburg, but not in such force as ihcy were a month ago. Our gunboats during the high water easily prevent tho crosing of tlio Achataluya by the Rebels; but during tho low stage of the river those crossing will be prevented by the land forces of General l lliuan encamped on the east bank. A largo Union force is being collected near Moigaii.ia, amply sutlicient for ollensivo or de fensive purposes. No oll'otisive movements h id been made up to the :aHIi ulr. by tho Rebels, but the activity infused into tho Department by Major-Genera!

The cliicring new s yesterday from Maryland w as i nougb to produce rumors, and out of a mul titude we ive i nly two of them. First.it was stilted that the New York ni'.of the. 11th had been nreivid by a soldier connected w'th the Army of Northern Virginia, which stated thai timeiul larly (.iot I-we'll was advam ing In tan coliiinns upon lialtimore, and was wiihai seven tniles of the city. The second was. that a letter had been received from an etticcr of the invadlm? command, ad dressed to a lady of this elf, which said that the outer forlitiictions of liuUbiinrc were within sight at the lime lie wrote the uiornimr of the loth. Wo give the rumors for what they uro woi tli. I n iu Northern accounts, as given In another column, there is nodoubtbtit that wecinn iw take 1! iltimore, if wo think it advisable. 1 ho only question is, ns to tho expediency. Of th.s our ( ciiuuiiiuding G' neral, bo he Junes, Smith, "or any uther man," w ill judge. From MnllirMt. We saw a gentleman yesterday mornlnir direct from Mathews county, who states that there have bei n r.o Yankee utitli rs in tliat reg.ou for somo time, und Unit that the people are now enjoying a temporary state ot t;uittudo. With the excep tion of burnt mills, empty smoke-houses and corn-cribs, pillaged barns, and hog-pens minuM l)Oi)t, the face of the Country Is wearing its usual appearance. He reports that for tiltecn days past Yankee transports in great numbers and of unusual size have been going up the Chesa peake Hay. He could not say whether they were loaded with troops, but the presumption is very strong that they were taking reinforcements to the frightened Yankee army now defending Mary lard and Pennsylvania. Along the road between Mintews and this city, he describes the condition of tilings in many places as perfectly lameutuble, and thinks if a resident who had been absent for a time wero blindfolded and taken home be would not recognize it.

The scene i described by those who escaped ns most appalling, tho road blocked up with debris, cor piled upon cur in tho most induscriha blc contusion, the bodies of those thrown from thrm covering tlic road at every Btep, tho living dust and blinding smoke from tho quenching lues, the noise of I lie escaping steam, and, above all, the ft nrttil groans and hcirl-rending cries of tl e b jured and expiring will never be forgotten. Some of tlic corpses were shockingly mutilated, hciii'S completely ciushul, bodies transfixed, iin aled on limbers or Iron roils, or smashed be tweinthc colliding beams, while ono man was ilisimcrcd dead, sitting on the top of the up turned tender, in grotesque and ghastly mockery of tl 0 set ne around him. Wl en the cries of the last wounded had directed th" sea chcrs to his place of imprisonment, and the Inst corpse removed from its toiup irary tomb, it wns found that (he victims numbered sixteen I'nion men nml forty-four Robots, dead ; while the wounded numbered one hundred and twi niy.-omeotthcm wounded mortally indeed, four has s.Dce died, nml a number of others can not be expected to recover.

At Laekawaxen we wete unable to see the book kept by the abscond ing operator.

Mr. Tovvnsend commenced tho life of a daily journalist as a reporter on the morning fii.iirer in IM'0. The next year ho becaiitio local and drama'le editor of the Ves.t, acting nt tho same time its the Philadelphia correspondent of the New York World, and writing sketches for tho Humlnt 'J'innii riiit. His war poems, of w hlch he produ'ed n number, wero widely circulated and preserved in Prank Moore's flrtvUion f.vno. He llnully became tho llerald'i correipondent with the Army of Virginia, witnessed tlio whole Peninsular campaign, and, though being danger ously III w ith tlic typhus fever before Richmond, lived to tlcsrrilie the ix days' retreat, and repair to the lield ariilu W'tli General l'ope. At the battle of Cedar Mountain he lost two horses, narrowly escaped Stuart's raiders at Mniiassns, but curried tho story or tho battle to the North, though so debilitated by sickness und exposure as to be unable to follow thu men further. Two years ago Mr. T. resolved to go to F.nglund with his fresh experiences, and en lighten John Hull. For awhile he made radi cal pro-Northern lectures in Linc.ishire, but re ceived more kicks than half pence fur his pains, resorted fo Lmdon, und there tried the lit iga r.incs. Here his success was moderate, and lor nine months was a constant contributor to tho Cornliitl Mmjaziiie nnd to f 7tiVr Jounml, etc. corresponding all the whilo w iih America. In June, IWti.t, Mr. Townsend went to tho con tinent, visited Holland, Helgium, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy, residing much of the time in Fiance. He bud just returned when wo mot him, nnd is now editing the Sunday Mercury, New York city, and nt the sumo time preparing a volume of tils literary experience, to bo c.illed tlte "Skceluddler in Etiroiie."
