oporto. E. O. GOODRICH, EDITOR. TOWANDA : Thursday Morning, June 26, 1862. THE LATEST * AR NEWS. Dispatches from Gen. McClellan'sheadquar ters, np to 8 o'clock Sunday,, stato that all was auiet yesterday. Skirmishing continued &1I day on Saturday, a. d at uight everything indicated that a general eugagement was at hand. A dispatch from Montgomery, Ala., Is published iu Richmond papers, sayiug that Beauregard anu his staff had arrived at Mont gomery, ou their way to Richmond, and that a large portion of the army of the Mississippi were to follow, Bragg holding back euough to keep off Halleck's vandals. So many stories are told of Beauregard's movements that no one knows what to believe ; but this one is likely to be true. Beauregard could not afford to have his communications with Richmond out off, as threatened by Gen. Morgan's move ment iuto Cninberlaud Gap ; there is literally no cbaDce for the Rebels in the Valley of the Mississippi, unless to make here and there a dash, which,however successful at the moment, could be of no ultimate advantage ; so the ru mor that Beauregard is trying to re-enforce Johnstou is at least exceedingly probable. — llis personal presence is of very little eense- quence either way, since his masterly inactivi ty aud perpetual retreats have destroyed among his own men the prestige wen by the bombardment of Fort Sumter. By the Roanoke at New York we have New-Orleans dates to the 15th. Gen. Butler sprung a surprise upon his troops ou the 13th but the response was so prompt that he issued a special order complimenting the men upon their allertuess, aud also upon their general behavior since they occupied the city. The General was sernaded on the 14th by a large party of Uuiouists. Of course he made a Bpeecb, which was well received. A new dai ly paper has just been started, edited by the great financier, Jacob Barker, now 83 years old. Of course Beaurad is heard from, via New-Orleans ; he had 30,000 sick men iu his army at Corinth, aud sick aud well were iu a deplorable condition. One George Coppel, subscribing himself as her Majesty's (Vic toria's) Acting Consul, had presumed to ad dress Gen. Butler a complaint about the oath required at aliens, and asking explanations ; whereupon Gen. Butler returned the slightly Hibernian answer that no reply would be made to the note till Mr. Coppel should be recog nized by Lis own Government as its agent. There has beeu some lively and creditable work—marred by a sad catastrophe- up White River, in Arkansas. Our guDboat expedition found Rebel batteries at St. Charles, 85 miles from the Mississippi, and whipped them speed ily and handsomely, after about an hour and a half of brisk work. The Rebels had two strong batteries, defended by 400 or 500 men, under a traitor named Col. Frye, who was ouce in the United States Navy. Our boys— of the 43d and 46th Indiana—landed took the works Jby bayonet ; 150 Rebels were killed and wounded, oud 30 captured, among the latter Col Frye. None of our men were killed and but a few wounded in the engagement — but a shot from enemy's battery perforated the boiler of the gun boat Mound City, letting free the steam, whereby about 125 men were killed, iucludiug seven or tight officers. Im mediate measares should be taken—by extra shielding or othcrwisc-to secure boileis against such possibilities. This is the second dreadful accident of the kind ; may it be the last. Among recent prizes taken at sea, reported at the Navy Department, are the schooner Mary Stewart from Nassau with salt, takeu off Santeo River by the lark Gem. The United States Steamer Calhoun has taken the Rebel steamer Whitman onLake Pontchatrain; also,the schoouer Venus in the 3ame lake,with 228 bales of cotton ; also, the Rebel gunboat Coryphreus, secreted in a bayou and guarded by troops. The United States Ship Susqn hanna has sent iu the Rebel schooner Prince ton, from Havaua.with dry goods and provis ions. The Bainbridge lias taken the schooner Borgany. The Mound City (the gun-boats just exploded by a shot in her boiler) recently captured the Clara Dobson, one of the fiuest boats otf White River. Gen. Schofield, Union commander in Mis souri, has got some ideas about rebels and reb el property that do not prevail on the sea board. Not long since he directed that rebel guerrillas should be shot atj sight, and their friends and sympathizers should also be se verely punished. He has uow decreed that active and passive Rebels shall be held respon sible for damage to the property and lives cf ioyal citizens or soldiers. For every soldier or civilian killed §5,000 will be assessed on the llebels ; SI,OOO to $5,000 for every one wonnded, and per cent tor all property de stroyed. The pith of it all is that he has the power to enforce this order, nnd will do it. Com. Dupont reports an act so entirely characteristic of Southern civilization, that it is worthy of special notice. Some armed trait ors, ascertaining: that the Union forces had left Hutchinson's Island, stole over there nn der cover of night, and gratified their hatred of the Yankees they dared not face by mur dering a large number of negroes, who were unarmed and asleep. That is just what might be expected from the cowardly traitors of the Falmetto State. Advices from Corinth indicata that our or*s are progressing into the iuterior of Mies- * issippi byway of New-Orleans and Northern Railroad. Some of Gen. Sherman's men oc cupied, on Friday, llolly Springs, a pleace of considerable importance, about 25 miles south of Grand Junction. The rebels had, of course removed all their armory machinery, and to make sure that it was safe, did uot stop with it uutil they reached Atlanta, Ga. The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin ! of Saturday says: We learu with regret ot the death cf Hou. Robert M. Palmer, United States Minister to the Argentine Coufedera ! tion. He died at sea on the 26th of April, I aud his remains were committed to the deep on the moruiDg of the 27tb. Mr. Palmer sailed from Bueuos Ayres for home about the 13th of April, his health, which was bad | when he left this couutry, haviug become ! still worse. lie was a citizen of Pottsville and bad represented Schuylkill county in the Legislature with decided ability, having been Speaker of the Senate for two sessions. He bore a high character, and was an excel lent aud useful citizen, llis age was about forty-one years, and be leaves a wife and six ! children, the eldest of whom, a young man, accompanied hiru to South America. Presi i dent Lincoln appointed him Minister to the Argentine Confederation soon after his inau guration, and he sailed from this couutry in May, ISO I. CUMBERLAND GAI* AT LAST. —Our readers will require no elaborate explanation to satisfy i them that the occupation of Cumberland Gap by our forces is a very important achievement, i It gives us the command of East Tennessee and of the great railroad artery through that region which connects the States of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ac., with Virginia and the rebel capital. Secondly, this occupation of East Tennessee disposes of. the rebellion i throughout the State, and liberates a hundred thousand Union men, chiefly East Tennesseeans who have been waiting a whole year for the day of their deliverauce from a secession reign !of terror. We have no doubt that General Ilalleck will take good care to provide against the retreat of the rebels from Virginia through East Tennessee. There will be zo lack of vol unteers of the very best description to fill up his diminished regiments in that quarter ; and , Jeff. Davis & Co. mast look very sharply i about them, or their only remaining doors of 'escape will be closed against them in North Carolina. _ EDITOR REPORTER : It has been quite extensively reported that the bill for the commutation of tonnage duties i would uot have passed the Seuate had uot Laudou have voted for the bill. Now this is a mistake, acd ought to be cor rected The following extract from the Jour nal of the Senate, page 348, will show the ' vote in question in its true light. Justice to the Senator demands that this be made public : "-The Senate resnnu '. the third reading and con-ddor • ation of bill No. 249 from the House of Representatives, Lentitled u:i Act for the commutation of tonnage duties.— j And the question recuriug, shall the bill pass.

[ ORWELL, June Oth. ! SOLDIERS ROBBED OFTHEIRPAY. —When sail : ors, after being paid off, are befooled out of their wages, the thieves are called land sharks. | Some equally expressive term ought to be in ' vented to designate the harpies who hang round camps and military hospitals to cheat I our voluuteers out of their hard earnings. For i example, what commou English word is snffi -1 eient to express the rascality mentioned in the following paragraph, from the superintendent's | report of the Soldiers' Home at St. Louis i ''One simple-minded soldier gave lii.i money, as ho came from the paymaster, to awe 11- ! dressed stranger, who wished to count it for him, to see that it was all right, and ue never saw it again. Another was induced to drink, and was then robbed of all he bad, the loss of which, upon his becoming sober, induced him to throw himself into the river, from which he • was rescued with difficulty. Another, a lad of sixteen, just discharged from the service, was rescued Irom the hands of the plunderers by the police, just in time to save his hard earn ings from being slipped from his pocket." The rebel barbarity that insults the body of 1 a dead soldier on the field, is more shocking ■ and brutal than this, but none so cuuuingly j villianous and black hearted. Aigr- Governor Johnson is dealing with reb el citizens just as, after war had been declared the patriots of the Revolution treated tories who did not keep still, but kept plotting— that is, he is packing them South. In print- iug several orders of the Military Governor the Nashville Union says : " Gentlemen who persist in uttering rebellious seutimcuts prepare 1 for a speedy trip Sauth ; they cannot remain here. They cau no more be tolerated than , scorpions, adders, or tarantulas, in an orderly ! community, which has aoy regard fur its own i safety." fesr* An order was issued from the War Department ou Saturday allowing n premium of $2 for each accepted recruit volunteering for three years or for the war, and permitting one month's pay in advance to ail who are mnstesed into service, whether regulars or vol unteers. DEATH OF COL. ELI.ET. — Col. ELLET of the Ram Fleet, died at Cairo, on the 21st inst., from wounds received in the engagement be fore Memphis. THE WHITE RIVER EXPEDITION. Another Gunboat Engagement. Fight at St. Charles, Arkansas. MEMTUIS, Thursday, June 19, 1862. An expedition, composed of the gunboats St. Louis, Lexington, Couostoga aud Mound City, accompauied by transports carrying the 43d" and 46th ludiaua regiments, under Col Fitch, was sent from here some days since, for the purpose of removing the obstructions iu White lliver. On the 17th, the expedition reached St. Charles, 85 miles above the mouth of the river, where the rebels had erected a battery. An engagement ensued, lasting an hour and a half. While the gunboats engaged the battery the troops, under Col Fitch, landed a short distance below, uud proceeded to storm the place. During the cannonading a ball entered the boiler of the Mound City, causing a fearful explosion and loss of life. The crew consisted of 175 men, of whom nearly 125 were killed or wounded. The following officers are among the killed : John Kinzie, James Kitizie, James Scoville, John Green. Henry R. Brown, Joseph Nixon, and John Knox. Capt. Kelly, Flag officer, was badly scalded, but it is thought that he will recover. Col. Fitch's charge upon the battery was a perfect success, driving the enemy out at the point of the bayonet. The rebel loss is 125 killed and wounded, and 30 prisoners. Col. Fitch's loss is small. Gen. Ilalleck has occupied Holly Springs. WASHINGTON, June 21, lso2. The following dispatch was received at the Navy Department : U. S. FLAG STEAMER BENTON, 1 MEMPHIS, via Cairo, June 21,1662. ( To Hon. Gidcou YV eiles, Secretary of the Navy : The gunboat- Conestoga, while returning from the White River, reports the capture of two batteries, mounting seven guns, at St. Charles, 80 miles from the mouth. The attack was commenced by Capt Kelly in the gunboats, who silenced the first battery. The second battery was gallantly carried by Col. G. N. Fitch at the head of the 40th In diana Volunteers. A shot caused the explo sion of the steam draw of the Mound City, try which the greater part of her officers and crew were killed and wounded. I write by to clay's mail. C. 11. DAVIS, Flag Officer. The following was received at the \\ ur De partment today : jST . CHARLES, White River, Ark., June 17, ) Via Cairo, Saturday, June 21, lio2. f To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War : On arriving eight miles below here last eve ning, we ascertained that the enemy had two batteries here, supported by a force of infant ry, number unknown. A combined attack was r.adc at 7 a. ni. to day. The regiment under my command (46th Indiana) lauded two and a half utiles below the battery, and skirmishers were thrown out, who drove in the enemy's pickets. The gun boats then moved up and opened oa their bat teries. A rifled shot from one of the batteries pene trated the steam draw of the Mound City, dis aiding by scalding most of her crew Appre hensive that some similar accident might hap pen to the other gunboats, and thus leave my small force without their support, I signalled the gunboats to cease firing, and we would storm the batterv. They ceased at exactly the right moment, i and my men carried the battery gallantly.— The inlautry wete driven from the support of the gnus, the gunners shot at their posts, their > commanding officer Freye (formerly of the U. S. Navy) wounded and captured, and eight brass and iron guns,with ammunition, captured. j The enemy's loss is unknown. We have j buried seven or eight of their dead, and other dead and wounded are being brought iu. The casualties among my own command arc* small, j the only real loss being trom the escaping steam in the Mound City. She will probably be repaired and ready to ■ proceed with us op the river to-morrow. A full report will be made as early as possible. Very Respectfully. 0. X. FiTCFI. Col. Comd'g 40th Indiana Volunteers. | A Rebel Boy's Death Scene. Lieut. Ad. Smith, of Black's regiment, in a letter to a friend concerning his adventures at Hanover Court llouse, describes the death scene of a youthful Rebel soldier. After the j battle, Lieut. Smith feeling tlie want of his ! overcoat, which he threw away upon entering the fight, iu company with a sergeant proceed ed in search of it in the woods. On the way : they stumbled over'the dead of both sides, and every now and then they were startled by the cries and groans of the wounded who had not yet been discovered by the detail sent out.— Lieutenant Smith, after mentioning his failure to find his overcoat, says : " Determined not to sleep in the cold nil night without some covering beside the light blouse I had on, I stooped down and unbuck led the knapsack from a rebel soldier who was stiff in death. From off this I took a large j white blanket, and was about to move away from the spot, when I was arrested by a prayer, uttered in a weak, childish voice, that made the blood run cold in my veins. I pro ceeded to the spot from whence the sound j came, and discovered lying close along side a decayed log, and partially covered with a tall en limb, a youth of not over sixteen, mortally wounded in the abdomen. O, how earnestly and piteously he offered up his supplication to Heaven. He prayed that his dear rno'her would forgive him for going against her will to fight the Yankees, and that God would for give him and take him into his care and keep ing. He was too earnestly employed to know of our presence, although I asked him several questions, and turned him on his back, while the sergeant placed a stick under his head and a canteen of cool water to his lips. He was now in his death agonies, a d we had done all in our power to make his exit into eternity as comfortable as possible : it but remained for us to see him give up the ghost. Poor bov ! he kept us waiting but a little while, for his spirit had flown ' to that bourne from whence DO traveler returns.' We turned from the spot, and unconsciously the tears trickled down my i cheeks as the dying words of the young rebel ; still rung iu my ears. His last words were, j ' O, my poor dear mother, what will you do 1" ; His words cut me keenly, and caused me to ! draw a picture of the future which was, per | haps, in store for me." Jellies and wine are worth more io the ' hospital than on our tables. SEN. H'CIiELMTS ARMY. Brisk Skirmishing on Saturday, Indications of an Attack at Night. THE REBELS PROMPTLY MET. Beauregard's Troops on their way to Richmond MAJOH-GEN.MCCLLELAN'S HEADQUARTERS, } Suuday, June 22—8 p. M. f Tliis has been a remarkably quiet day, con sidering the close proximity of the two con tending forces. Brisk skirmishing ensued all day yesterday, and at night everything indicated that a gen eral engagement was at hand. The enemy advenced in strong force on our lines during last night, but, being promptly met, soon re tired. The Richmond papers of yesterday contain a dispatch from Montgomery, Alabama, dated the 11th, stating that " Gen. Beauregard and stuff had arrived there on their way to Rich mond, and it was said they were to be follow ed by a large portion of the army ol the Mis sissippi, and that a sufficient force been left under the invincible Bragg to check any ad vancement of the vandals under Geu. Ilalleck." FORTRESS MONROE, June 21 1862. We learn to day from the army of the Poto mac that quite a skirmish took place on the 19th inst., between the 20th ludiaua regiment, in Gen. Kearney's division and the rebels, which lasted for more than au hour. The In diana boys stood their ground and sustained very slight loss. Lieut. Carr, Company I, and three privates, were wounded. In the after noon the regiment was complimented by Gen. Kearney for its bravery and discipline. This is the regiment that was ouce nearly sacrified at Chicaniicouiico, X. G\, early in the opera tions on that coast, under Col. Hawkins, and which has been until lately attached to Gen. Wool s division. During yesterday the Rebels endeavored to feel our entire line by shelling vigoro -ly at different points in tlie hope of annoying work ing parties principally on the right and oppo site Kearney's division. Their shells generally fell short and did but little damage. The Baltimore boat brought down twenty live Sisters of Mercy this morning for our hos pital here. The steamer Baltimore arrived here this morning from Washington, with a number ol Congressmen. It is cloudy to-day, and the atmosphere i very wans and sultry. A revenue cutter has arrived here to attend to vessels entering and leaving Norfolk. The armed bark Fernandina went to sea this afternoon. Gen. D:x returned this morning from Point Lookout. THE JAMES RIVEIL FLOTILLA. WASHINGTON, Friday, June 20, I^o2. Dispatches have been received here stating that on the 17th iust. the rebels opened fire upon our ships of war in James River, from the biuffs at City Point, by urtiilry and small arms, but our squadron returned the attack with shells and shrapnelis, silencing and driv ing back the rebel force. OFFICIAL WAR BULLETIN. WASHINGTON, June 21,1862. Pursuant to a joint resolution of Congress, to encourage enlistments in the Regular Army and Volunteer forces. It is ordered, That a premium of $2 shall be paid for each accepted recruit that volun teers for three rears, or during the war, and every soldier who hereafter enlists, either in the regular army or the volunteers for three years or during the war, may receive his first month's pay in advance, upon the mustering of his company into the service of the United States, or after he shall have been mustered into, and joined a regiment already in the service. This order tvill be transmitted to Governors of States and recruiting rfficers. E. M. ST AX TON' Secretary of War. hSighly Important from Charleston. Desperate Battle 011 James Island, Despairing Reports of the Rebel Papers. FORTRESS MONROE, Monday, June 23—8 : 30 A. M. The Altlamara arrived (rem City Point last night. The Richmond papers of Saturday contain a brief cccouui of a bloody battle fought on Monday last, between live National regiments and a battery of Parrot guns and parts of four Confederate regiments and a battery. The battle lasted all day with a heavy loss on both sides. The Charleston Mtrcury feared the battle would be renwed the next day, and expressed apprehensions for the safety of the city, in consequence of the great exhaustion of the Southern troops and the loss of many officers. Gens. EVANS and PAMBERTON had lompli mented the rebel troops for their bravery in standing up under the heavy fire of shells, etc., from our gunboats and batteries. The fight took place four miles from Charles ton, and from the tone of the editorial in the JSlcrcury I should think the rebels have been cut off from retreat, from James Island by our gunboats. If this should be so, Charleston must soon fail. The Richmond Dispatch says that it ean be no longer denied that Gen. JACKSON has been heavily reinforced lately, and that the Nation al columns must either combine or fall back across the Potomac. Interesting from Memphis. MEKruis, June 18,1862. Gen. Lewis Wallace has assumed command of litis city. Ilis first official act was to take possession of the Argus office, which has been outspoken in its sympathies with rebellion Messrs. T Knox and A f). Richardson have been appointed to supervise all editorials which appear in the papers. Threats having been made to tear down the Union flags flying over the houses of some of the citizens, the Provost Marshal lias issued orders instructing the guard to shoot down any one attempting to haul down the flag or offering any insult or molestation to resident citizens who have thus manifested their devo tion to the Union. An order is also issued to imprison all citi zens carrying concealed weapons. Guerillas are prowling about the country.— Five were arrested last night by pickets in the suburbs of the city. Owing to a scarcity of change, the Board of Aldermen have voted to issue SIOO,OOO in fractional notes, as the public exigencies may require. Guerilla lmr.ds are still enfraged in burning the cotton iu the counties of Northern Missis sippi, which has not already been destroyed by the owners Boats going North an loaded to their ut most capacity with freight and passengers. The oath of allegiance was administered to over four hundred yesterday, oue half of whom were soldiers The Avalanche says that, the rebel authori ties have ordered the rolling stock of the Mo bile aud Ohio Railroad from Panola to Ale ridian. A Terrible Scene at tlie Battle of Fair Oaks. A private letter from a member of the bat tery of the New York Artillery, in Casey's Division, gives the following grajJiic account of the memorable attack on that fatal Satur day : About II o'clock (on Saturday, May 31.) the enemy sent a couple of six pound balls over into our camp, and immediately com menced the attack iiy driving iu our pickets. Our division was quickly formed in line of battle ; a strong force was sent to support the pickets, and a rifled battery of four guns was ordered up to the right and opened fire. We were all ready for anything that might come, but not for a moment did we dream that we had on our hands one of the most fiercely fought battles that lias taken place du'ing the rebellion. The pickets soon began to fire rapidly aud came running in; while the iufati try posted behind a fence to support them blazed away into the woods. The artillery on our right opened fire and mingled their thunder with the sharp ro'l of the musketry. Soon our Napoleon guns (three of which were posted in an ui.finished redoubt, and three on the left car a rifle pit) opened with case shot which went whizzing through the air,over the heads of our own men, right into the midst of the enemy, and there exploding scattered death through their ranks. On the left, the rebels were seen coming through the woods to flank us, aud wheeling three of our guns so a> to bear upon them, we poured ease shot auicng theiu with unexampled rapidity and terrible effect. The desu uction was horrible. Our sphe rical case shot are awful missiles, each of them consisting of a clotted mass of seventy six musket balls, With a charge of powder in the centre, that is liretl by a I use the saaw- a* a shell. The missile first acts as a solid shot, ploughing its way through masse* of men, and then exploding hurls forward a shower of mu-ket balls, that mow down the foe hi heaps. Our buttery threw twenty-four of these a minute, and as we had the exact range of every part of the field, every shot told with frightful effect. But the enemy were not at all daunted. They marched steadily on, and hailed a perfect, tempest of halls upon us. Why we, as well as our horses, were not every one shot •lown will forever remain a mystery to me.— \\ e did not muni ttie leaden hail, however,lint kept pouring our ease-shot into the dense masses ot the foe, who came on in prodigious and overwhelming force. And they fought splendidly, too. Our shot tore their ranks wide open, and shattered them asunder in a manner that was trighttul to witness; but they closed up again at once, and eatue on as stead ily as English veterans. When they got within four hundred yards, we closed our case shot and opened on them cannisti r, anil suclt dertrurtion J never else where witnessed. At eaeh discharge great gups were made in their ranks—indeed, whole co i panies ,ven? down before thai narderons fire; but they closed up with an order and dis cipline that was awe-inspiring They seemed to be animated with the courage of despair blended with the hope of a speedy victory if they could by an overwhelming rsh drive li ft oiu our position. It was awful to see their ranks torn and shattered by every discharge of canister that we poured- right into their faces, and wliil" their dead an dying lay in piles, close tin.and still kept advancing right in the fare of that fire. At one time three lines, one behind another, were steadily advancing, and three of their flags were brought in range of one of our gnus shotted with canister. "Fire ," shouted the gunner, and down went those three flags, and a gap was opened through those three lines as if a thunderbolt had torn through them, avd the. dad lav in swaths. But they at or.ee closed up and came stiadily on, never halting or wavering, right through the woods, over the fence, through the fie'd, right up to our guns, and sweeping everything before them captured every piece. When we delivered our last fire, they were within fifteen or twenty peees of ns, and as all our horses had been killed or wounded, we could not carry off a gun. Our whoie division was cut to pieces, with what I do not know We fell back to a second line of iutrenchments, and there held the enemy in cheek till, rein forcements arrived, and then we kept our pooi tiou till night nut an end to the bailie.
