ALTOONA, PA
TUESDAY, JULY 14. 1863.
on the Border
We bad barely room, lastweek,to announce
that the invading rebel army, under General Lee,
which threw the Eastern part of this Spue into'
great-excitement, and threatened to capture and
destroy oqrState Capitol, bad been met at Get
cystaygfagr.tbe Army of the .Potomac, under Gen.
Meade,,and after two days of the most terrific
figbriag" known to modem warfare, bad been com
pletely vanquished and was retreating back to
Maryland. by the route it came, endeavoring, if
pomiUe. to escape utter annihilation. .
Since the battles of July 3d and 3d, there has
been po tegular engagement, although skirmish
ing baa been going on all the tune, and General
Pleasfwtpet's cavalry have been captnring wagon
and nmMnnoe trains, and picking up detachments
of rebels In all partsthe country in the vicinity
of the battle-field.
Id the engagements and skirmishes, we bare
taken about 10,000 prisoners, and the loss of the
rebels in killol and wounded has been about 15,-
OJO, making s loss to them, of about 25,000 men.
Some accounts place the figures higher, but we
think the foctsdo not warrant it.
The loss to the Union army has been between
10,000 and 15,000. Theofficial returns alone will
give the exact number. The loss, in officers,- has
been very heavy on both sides.
At last accounts Gen. Lee was preparing for
another'battle, on the old Antietam battle-ground,
previous to attempting to cross the Potomac. He
has withdrawn all his forces from Pennsylvania
with the intention of getting out of the setspe Ke
has got intoj but be . finds it difficult to cross the
Potomac, is now much swollen by recent
heavy rains. Hia line extends from Williamsport
to Sheppardstown.
Gen. Meade is close after him, the pickets being
together and the armies not ten. .miles apart. —
All the militia from Harrisburg, Beading and all
other points are being sent as reinforcements to
Gen. Meade. Sonic 40,000 or 60,000 three and
six months men have been sent np the Cumber
land valley and are Dow doubtless doing their
share in the way of exterminating the -invaders.
Xt nm almost impossible that *Lec should
escape with bis army, hemmed in os be is on all
sides, nevertheless he is a wily commander andif
there fa any way of escape be will find it. Even
should hewacape, he will not take out "ffith him
pore «h«n one-half .of the men with which he
entered Pennsylvania. It will be his last raid to
the North. *
The line of the Union army extends from Har
per’s Fetry to Hancock, completely encircling Lee,
with the main portion of the army just where they
ought to be. It fa reported that Heinizelman is
oa the opposite side of the river with a heavy force,
ready to dispute the.passage with the rebels when
ever they attempt to cross. If we may rely on
tbfa, the rebel tunny fa in Gen. Meade’s power.
Our cavalry South of the Potomac have been busy
capturing wagon trains that were standing ahead
of the army.
Gen. Dix fa reported to bare destroyed all rail
road communication North of Richmond, thus pre
venting Lee's receiving reinforcements or supplies.
Ere we go to press we may have news of the
■eooad graft battle, as it fa the opinion of,military
men that it could not be delayed longer than to
day, (Monday.)
Tbe-laat Accounts from the front represent Lee
to be sttrrounded at or near Williamsport. The
- Corps occupies Hagerstown, and the
Eleventh Funkstown ; die enemy having retired
fttnbotb. The remainder of our army is pnsh
ipg Lee rapidlyto the river. Gen. B. F. Kelley,
ftaai extreme Western Maryland, is , reported
the Virginia side of the Potomac, to stop
Lefcfci-tijat direction.
Biot m Nvw Yobk.—A large mob collected at
the conscription office, in New York city, on yes
terday, to prevent the draft from being carried
into effect. They drove away the conscription
officers andHmrned the building.
At two o’clock the mob had asstuned vast pnr
portioos. They had taken possession of the ar

handled.* The superintendent and fifteen police
men have been killed and many wounded. A
squad of 30 soldiers were disarmed by the

Letter from South CeroUana.
Caro- KnxsToxE Zouaves, )
St. Hnusna Islaxd, 8. C.,
■'t' .
■' Ukaatts. Erarow In consequence of having
other duly to perform I wasanable to :get Oris
epistle smitten on the lfitb, op was my intention.
But in this instance the old saying holds goad, viz:
“Betterlate than never.”
In my letter of the Ist inst,, 1 mentioned bf
having received orders to go to St. Helena Island,
which order,we have obeyed and here we are nicely
encamped on the aforesaid Island. We find this
to be quite a desirable place for an encampment.
We are able to procure vegetables of till kinds,
such as potatoes, cabbage, l , beans, beets, turnips,
&c,; also, plums, peaebep, pears and several other
different kinds, of fruit. Large quantities of
fruit, vegetables, chickens, docks, eggs, milk,
&c., are daily brought into camp, by .the” darkies,
who beiqg greedy and anxious to brake, inoney off
of “de Soger” ask extravagant prices for their
goods; however they do not, at all times, get what
they ask, bat have to be content .with prices nearer,
the real value of their wares.
I do not think it is necessary for me to give yon a
minute discription of this island, for if any one will
take die trouble to examine a map of South Car
olina they will see bow it lies, bow it is bounded,
and all about it. There are some-nice plantations
and some, splendid buildings. The steamer Dela
ware conveyed us from Botany Bay to this place,
on the 7th inst. Another Sunday move.. Nearly
every mqve we make, we either embark: pr disem
bark on the Sabbath., How much better it would
be if oar commanding officers would arrange mat
ters so that we could move other than on that
day. The commandment, “ Remember the Sab
bath day. to kecp.it holy,” is equally as binding in
the army, as elsewhere. But says one, “We
cannot expect to keep the Sabbath in the army.”
Cannot ex/xct to? and why not? “.0 ;we must
work on ISunday in,the army." I admit there is
4uty to perform, in the military life, Which cannot
be postponed on the Sabbath, but there is also a
great amount of duty performed on that day which,
of necessity, need not be done. We are com
manded to keep the Sabbath holy, and If we were
not commanded to do so, common sense teaches us
that we need the day for rest, and surely ire soldiers
need rest as well as others. If the leading officers
of our ariny would only seriously reflect over this
matter, and in the future dispense with every duty
but such las really must be performed, I believe*
we would get along much better, at least we would
have the satisfaction of knowing that we were
complying with the law of Heaven.' There is
nothing gained by breaking the Sabbath, and
whoever tries to cheat the Almighty, will find that
he has cheated hiutspJ/. 1 presame you have hpctrd
of the capture of the Rebel ram Atlanta. The
“AW south" of this morning, contains the fol
lowing in 'reference to this important event
“ We take great pleasure in annonncing this
week, the capture, in Warsatt Sound, of ;the cele
brated rebel ram, Atlanta, better, known to
many of onr readers ns the Flngul, Concerning
which the rebels have been a long time boasting,
and about which, some of our people have had
'considerable fear.
"The Fingal, was an English steamer,-and
was cut down, iron-clad, and converted iiito a’yerv
formidable ram, by the rebels at Savannah, where
two rears were spent in making of her a
terror to the Federal fleets.- She was completed
last winter, and has since shown herself' manv
.imes in sight of FM? Pulaski, and elsewhere.
Some of the men had a mania for. deserjion.. and
frequent arrivals to our side, with other sources
of information, have keptjp pretty Weil posted
as to her 'movements. Dupont has
for a long time had his eye on her, and oT late
been well informed about her. Some ten or
twelve days since, he despatched two of apr Mon
itori, the-Weehawken, Capt. John Rogers, and the
Nahant, commander Downes, to Warsan Sound,
to look oua for her. They have been cruising
about there since. On Wednesday morning, the
17th, while the Weehawken was some distance up
die sound, a picket boat, which had been sent
up farther, reported the Atlanta to be steaming
down the Wilmington river. Capt. Rogers imme
diately proceeded down the river, to decoy the
ram on, and to, get pi to deeper water, so;he could
maneuver to advantage. The At junta came on
as if she feared a prize were esrMng her, and
soon fired on the Weehawken. When she had
got witfiin easy range, Capt, Rogers himself
sighted-/the Weohawkcn’s fifteen-inch gnu, the
shot from which struck the top of t)ie Atlanta’s
pilot-house, smashing the iren and wood work,
and wbqnding both pilots severely with the splin
ters. Four or five other shots were -fired,'and
four in all took effect. One fifteen-inch: shot
struck her about half way from hCr gunwale to
the top of her iron-clad boose, completely smash
ing through her iron and wood work, producing a
large fogged hole, killing one man andwounding
twelve.;
The Atlanta fired six or eitfht shots, hut none
of them took effect. She finally rah aground, and
surrendered, with 165 prisoners on board, all told.
rheNaham cameup to participate in the fight,
but through no fault of her own, did not arrive
until the Atlanta bad surrendered. The At
lanta was subsequently towed off where she had
grounded. She steamed op here ;at the rate of
six knots an hour with a: heavy sea on,: and: was
found to steer finely. The prisoners were brought
. up on the lsland City, and were placed qg the
Vermont. All except the wounded < ones are
to be sent North oh the James Adgar, which
[eaves this morning. The rebel officers are vety
much depressed. |
Weleqm that the officers of the Atlanta came
out with! the intention of engaging and captpring
the Weebawkedt She was followed .'down by
two wooden giin boats fiilled with belies,' and
other excursionists, who were to witness the fight;
it having been arranged that one of thegnn-boats
should tow the Weehawken up the Savannah;
then th&jAtlanta was to go to Ossabau,capture a
gun-boat, take some batteries, entrap the 47th,
New Xqrk, and leave a force there tb hold the
batteries-. Next she was going to Charleston to
co-operate, by signal, with some rebel bows in
annihilating the Blockade fleet; after which she
was to phy her respects to the Fort Royal Squad
ron. Tntsnied little programme was very sum
marily changed. *
“Tbe : Fingal had two months ptoyision on
board, and amunition of .the‘very best quality.—
She was commanded by Capt. Webb, formerly of
the U. Si. Navy. She carried four Brooks guns,
two six-inch and two seven-inch, and a bow gun
weighing over 16,000 lbs.”
Your correspondent had the privilege of a close
• view of the Atlanta on last evening. Being on
board Uje General Hunter, comihg-np from Hilton
Head, we ran along side of her. She is quite a
formidable looking craft. In appearance she re
sembles a submerged house having the root visible.
She has ia cutwater in the shape of an immense
steel saw, With monster teeth; outside of that an
iron frame, with a torpedo attached for damaging
vessels;' and above a boom-like piece,', for pene
trating anything against which she might run.
She draws fifteen feet of water. She lies along
side of the Wabash, Whilst gasing upon her I
was tbijjking to 'myself of the: many hours of
extra fatigue duty we had to perform, a few
months ago, mounting guns and building Jraeast
works, and otherwise fortifiying ourselves against
the attack of the mc/W ram. She has paid her
compliments to the Port Royal Squadron, bat
whether in a style to snit ye Chivalry, remains do
be found ont.
Col. Strawbridge, has returned from the North.
He came on the Arago.. He looks all the better
for his trip. We were all anxiously expecting
him, and when he come up from the dock, the
whole regiment was formed in line and bad it not
been the Colonel’s request to have no cheering,
he would have received three deafening cheers, if
not several more.
Brig. Gen. Strong reviewed onr regiment yester
day.. Everything passed off in excellent order.
The land force of thik island consists of the 9th
Maine, 3rd New Hampshire, and the “ Lost Chil
dren," this lost named regiment is a Zouave regi
ment, and is so called, I am told from 'the fact
of there, being several different dialects repre
sented. To-day die 43th New York, landed and
have encamped close by. The weather was very
warm this forenoon but about noon we bad a
heavy shower,of rain which has in a great
measure cooled the atmosphere, and made it quite
refreshing.
May. Gen. Hunter has been relieved, and
ordered to report at Washington. He is suc
ceeded by Brig. Gen, Q. A. Gilmore, known as
the Hero of Somerset, Kentucky.
The troops on this island are commanded by
Gen. Strong, (Late Military Gov. of Sew Or
leans.) We still manage to get our full amount
of duty to perform. There are l&O men on fatigue
duty at Hilton Head, every day, and the same
at night. I mean 150 men out of the regiment.
The night party work from dark until daylight.
In consequence of Col. Hall, Provost Marshal,
taking active measures to have the draft enforced
in and around Hilton Head, many of the Sutlers
are selling out with the intention of going North.
Out on such men ! They would sell their country
for jive cents ! (Postal currency !) Put their
Patriotism in a thimble and it would have as
much room as a flfea, (small size) would have in
the Atlantic Ocean!
Ijpr information of the “ chap ” who wrote to
one of the boys in our company, desiring me to
write a few more letters and then go to ,
I'would say so far as writing letters is concerned,
I will write as many ns I please; but, after ma
ture reflection, 1 have concluded not to go the
place he directed me to; therefore, farther dicta
tion on his part, not required. -
The health of the regiment is very good, hnd
all in good spirits, ready to fight, or to perform
any other duty, they may be called on to do.
For the present, adiew,
Yours Respectfully, J. L. KINSEL,
Comp. F„ K. Z.
The Surrender of Vicksburg.
Cincinnati, July 9.—Special accounts offhe
surrender of Vicksburg do not differ materially
from those of the Associated Press. When the
flag of truce was sent on the 3d, says one account,
all firing ceased, und thousands of men thronged
the parapets to see with whom they had contended
forty-two days, each'concealed from the other.—
Men of both sides gazed in wonderment. No
arms were visible, only men, and the earthworks
alive. In some cases where we thought there
might be twenty, there seemed one hundred.—
Alt looked like men who labored in mills or
lime quarries. Slouched hats, shirts and pan
taloons were their uniform. B.ut little was said,
though in some places the men were not more
than ten or fifteen feet apart.
The bearers of dispatches to our Generals were
fine looking men, of martial bearing and brave
mien, clad in gay, close, fitting uniforms and
French caps, niounted on fine but thin horses.—
They were escorted- to the tent of Gen. Steven
Burbridge, to remain until his return from
the' quarters of General Grant, five miles
away. They conversed of old times more
than of the present. Their names were Ge'neral
Bowen, of Port’Gibson memory, and Col. Mont
gomery, of Virginia.
After taking a glass of wine, Gen. Bowen re
marked that his bandage was uncomfortable, as it
was very warm. Gen. Burbndge had them un
loosened. After more than an hour's conversa
tion their answer came, and they' were again
.blindfolded and returned' to their own works.—
Still the men sat in silence. All wondered what
it meant. The purport of it was this i
“ Gen. Grant : To prevent further effusion of
blood and loss of life, I propose that hostilities
cease for hours, and that you appoint three
Commissioners and I three to confer upon the
conditions of the.surrender, though 1 can hold out
indefinitely.
[Signed.] “PEMBERTON.”
Gcn. Grant replied; “As to your first propo
sition, it is foryou to avail it at anytime; as to the
second,.! see no necessity for that, as there can be
no conditions of surrender; We ran all bear
testimony to your endurance and bravery, and
will treat you with all the respect due prisoners
of war.
[Signed.] “U. S. GBANT.”
After this eame an interview between the com
manders. It took place in a grove of fig and
peach trees. The two who now met had been
Lieutenants in the same regiment in Mexico, now
met as foes, with all the world looking upon them,
the one his country’s gloiy the other his conntrv’s
shame. When thev had approached within a few
feet there was a halt and silence. Col. Mont
gomery spoke: “ Gen. Grant; Gen. Pemberton.”
They shook hands politely. It was evident that
Pemberton was mortified. “1 was at Monterey
and Buena Vista, and we had terms and conditions
there.” Gen. Grant took him aside and they
sat down on the grass and talked more than an
hour. v!
Grant smoked all the time and Pemberton
played with the grass and pulled leaves. Grant
finally agreed to parole them, allowing the officers
each his horse. \ The dread of going North? and
the fear of harrii treatment had deterred them
from capilulatimj sooner. He proved this mag
nanimity and raved thousands upon thousands
of (f&llars in the way of transportation and rations.
They feared the Fourth of July. Oitr men would
call out at night that the Fourth would finish
them, and it was so arranged.
Bv this we have saved thousands of jives in both
armies, and are gratified at the result.. Our men
treat them with the greatest kindness, giving them
coffee, which some of them have not tasted for a
year. ■ ■ . i
Vicksburg, July s.—Yesterday and to-day
all passed off with remarkable quiet and good
feeling. The weather is fearfully warm. Nine
teen general officers have been paroled. Two or
three days i will ,be occupied ■ before the prisoners
are sent back to their destination. It is reported
to be Talladega, Ala. Many of them are anxious
not to be parOled. but wish to take the oath of
allegiance and quit the rebel service and proceed
north. i ‘ i
A number of redel women and children weie
killed or injured during the Beige. The hundred
houses occupied by the sick and wounded hare
been constantly exposed to the shells. About
two thousand persons have heed killed inside since
the seige began.
The labor performed on : fortifications on both
sides is The weight of onr artillery
knocked moat of their worlds into undistinguisha
ble heaps. About twelve;hundred women and
children were in the city during the- bombardment
Who have for tho best part of tne timebeen obliged
«
to live in the eaves, of which there are reveral
hand red. Citutene are not being allowed, to draw
from army supplies except in case of destitution.
The prices of food have been enormous—(s
per pound 'has. been charged for flour, and
per pound for mule meat. I ~
• We have taken about 27,000 prisoners, i besides
4,000 non-combatants, 102 field pieces, 30 siege
guns, 60,000 stand of arms, ammunition, locomo
tives, cars, a few stores, and 57 stand of; colors.
Among the prisoners are Lieutenant General
Pemberton, Major Generals S. Stevenson,; Smith,
Forney and Bowen; fourteen brigadier generals,
and 130 colonels. There are 5,600 men! in the
hospitals, half of whom are wounded. Only 150
of the garrison are reported fit for duty.
Latest advices from the interior say that John
ston is retreating rapidlv, and that Gen. Sherman
is in hot pursmt. Reinforcements are moving to
Sherman.
An officer of assistance has been dispatched to
Banks, and it is conjectured that the condition of
the Port Hudson garrison is similar to that, of
Vicksburg. *
In one week hence its fall may be announced
at any hour. The general opinion here, both in
the rebel army and our own, is that the rebellion
in the West is at an end, or at least reduced to
insignificant proportions.
