SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1862, Parson BrowiUow’s Book.* BlacUstone declares that the designation of “ Parson,” however familiarly we apply it, is “the most legal, most beneficial, and most honorable title that a parish priest can enjoy.” "Were w-c to notice the hook before us, as the production of “ the Reverend W. G. Brown low,” comparatively few would mind what we said. Noticing it as tho Autobiography and Diary of “ Parson Brownlow,” of whom the whole Union has heard, w r c arc very cer tain of at once directing attention to it. No one can say that Mr. Brownlow writes without a special call. Through the length and breadth of this land, from Maine and Wiscon sin to Florida and Texas, from.the Atlantic to the Pacific, the name of this man has tra velled, and, having suffered, in person and in property, for the good cause of Constitutional Liberty, he has a right to be beard—a strong right too, as a martyr for the truth. Parson Brownlow speaks openly and boldly, whether on the platform or through the me dium of print, of Secession, as he has seen it • developed in Tennessee, where, never forget ting that he is an American citizen, he has spent his heat years in educating .his family, occasionally preaching the gospel, and con stantly instructing an extended dientage, through the medium of the Knoxville Whig —a journal which obtained a great circulation, because its numerous readers siw and knew that he who conducted it was an earnest, honest man. Whon Edmund Kean, the great actor—who must not be confounded with Charles Kean, his fortunate imitator—drew all tho world (of London) to see him perform at Drnry Lane theatre, exactly half a century ago, John Kem ble went to . see him play Skylock, in “ The Merchant of Venice,” —to our taste tho finest of Shakspoare’s comedies, for it has a treble action—the story of Skylock and Antonio,Vaa eourtery of Bassanio and Portia., and the runa way loves of Jessica and Lorenzo. It was re marked by Coleridge that to see Kean play Skylock was like reading Shakspeare by flashes of lightning. : Kemble carefully watched the performance of his new and energetic rival, and, at its dose, one of the usual parasites who infest eminent men, said, “ Mr. Kemble, this is a poor thing. There is verylittlein tbis new man .” Kemble, a scholar and a gen tleman, disdained the implied : adulation of himself, and emphatically answered, “Sir, it must be admitted, at any rate, that Mr. Kean is terribly in earnest.” Just so with Mr. Brownlow. He is, always has been, and (unless his very nature change) always must be “terriblyin earnest.” He impresses Ms readers as well os his auditors with this simple fact. He follows Shakspßare’s advice, to “ tell truth and shame the devil.” *He does not pause, in the mid-current of thought and speech, to cull out pretty words and string them together, in an ornate manner, as a fashionable damoscl strings pearls, for the sake of ornament. Not he. What Mr. Brown low has to dedare lie declares openly and boldly, and, with him, as with all natural ora tors and writers, the best words—that is, the words which most plainly enunciate his thought —array themselves in tho best places. As jias before been remarked in the political part of this newspaper,. W. G. Brownlow: is undeni ably the Peter the' Hbrmit of; the great Union cause which honest men advocate. Moreover,- he is a martyr to the cause. No matter. Time at last sets all things even, and it would not surprise us soon to hear this honest, courage ous, single-minded patriot uttering the words of truth, with the authority of high position, in the legislature of the United States. Even now, wo believe, men’s minds are being moved to this result, in Tennessee, and if pluck and ability are duly estimated there, as they ought to be, and especially at a time like this, he will 'be elected. For our part, we say, “ Detur digniori”—which, for the benefit of the ladies, we freely translate, “Let the best man win!” A Soniliern man by birth ami. training, Parson BrowDlow is eminently a Unionist. For many years he conducted the Knoxville TVhig, which has much led public opinion in Tennessee, and which, in a short time, he will re-establish with such a subscription list as a country paper has rarely owned. In Decem ber, 1861, be was arrested (and kept in prison at Knoxyille for three months) on the pre tence of articles against Secession published in bis paper long before Tennessee disgraced herself by going over to Rebellion. Major General Crittenden actually promised, him a passport to leave Tennessee, but most meanly betrayed his confidence by allowing him, then in wretched health, to be arrested and im prisoned. It was a mercy, for which he may thank the good God who has sustained him through many trials, that his persecutors did not hang him, without trial, as they did hang either honest men. He escaped, at last, and his book, here before us, is one of the severest blows that Treason has yet received. .Mr. Browulow’s confession of political faith is plain' and tangible., Standing up for the Union, he says: “My ancestors fought in its defence; and while their blood flows, in my veins I shall instinctively-recoil from birter ing away the glory of its past and tho prophe cy of its future for the stained record of that vile thing, begotten by fraud, crime, and bad ambition, christened a Southern Confederacy. I cannot exchange historic renown for dis gvace, national honor for infamy, how splen did soever may be the bribe or how violent soever may be the compulsion.” He has plainly defined his: platform,-since his escape from thraldom. He say%: “ I have, every where, condemned, the disorganizing propa gandists of the North, and have publicly pro claimed that I was a Southerner by birth, education, and habits; yet, when I also an nounced that I was a National man and un compromisingly for the Union, I found that other things were forgotten, land that I had touched a chord which made us all of kin.” This ; is the right feelingabove all, thio Union. A Virginian by birth, Mr. Brownlow will be fifty-seven years old on the 2fltb of next month—though temperance and steady, habits : have combined to make him appear much younger. For ten years he travelled the mi nistry of the Methodist connection, and,- like many men of mark, is mainly a self-educated man. Ho has lived in East Tennessee for the last thirty years, and tells us, “T have a family of seven children. I have been speaking all that time; and for the last twenty-five years I have edited and published a Whig newspaper having a larger circulation than any political paper in the State, and even larger than a!i the papers in East Tennessee put together. I have taken a part in all the religious and poli tical controversies of my day and time.” He proceeds to say: '• “ I am known throughout the length and breadth of the land aa tho 1 Fighting Parson; 1 while I may lay, without incurring the charge of egotism, that no man is more poaceabie, as my neighbors will testify. Always poor, and always oppressed with security debts, few men in my section and of my limited means have giveD away more in the course of each year to charitable objects. I have never been arraigned in the Church for any immorality. I never played a card. I never was :a profane swearer. I never drank a dram of liquor until within a few years, when it was taken as a medi cine. I never had a cigar or ohew of tobacco in my mouth. I never was in attendance at a theatre. I never attended a horse-race, and never witnessed their running, save on tho fair grounds of my own county. I never courted but one woman, and her I married.” Add that W. G. Brownlow has always been a politician and never an office-seeker or of fice-holder; and that the portrait in his book is a striking likeness, and you see at once what manner of man this is. He says: “I am a Southern inan by birth, raising, and education, and all my interests are there ; but I am not of the number of those who believe that the South can any better its rights out of the Union than in it. If those rights have been invaded—which ! deny—l hold it to be the bounden duly of every man in tho South, as well as his highest obligation, to protect them under the forms of law and the guaran tees of the Constitution. These rights can Lever be maintained by Secession, but by a PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1862. faithful observance of the Constitution and of the du'ies it imposes.” The book consists of two parts. The first, illustrated by extracts from Mr. Brownlow’s editorials—powerful and oitimes prophetic— sketches tho rise, progress, and decline of Se cession ; the second gives his prisbn-diavy, and an account of his travel from ?j durance vilo” to tho freo air of the Union States. What Ms triumphant reception has-been in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Now York, Now England, Now Jersey, Delaware, and Washington, is full in men’s mind, because it is recent.. His opinions, expressed two years ago, are forcible indeed. In July, 1860, he wrote and published this: W “Wo aro now, as we have always boon, a Union man. Wa say, let tho Union stand; let the princi ples end compromises of the Constitution beobserved; Jot tho spirit of our'forefathers, who framed but of discordant materials this noble fabric of govern ment, prevail; let the work of tho clear heads of Adams, Hancock, Jefferson, Carroll, Harrison;.and a host of others equally true and patriotic. ba:por pctual; lot sectionalism, as hold by the Bepnbii cans of the North and the Democrats of the South, and the evil passions of vilo demagogues, who seek their own, not their country’s good, sink to the. lowest bod ; and let unity of opinion, tolerance of differences, and patriotic sentiments alone bo heard in our national councils.” I ■ ‘ An old Whig, he has never joined any othb,rj party. A certain Jordan Clark asked hitu|| two. years ago, to “join the Democratic:, party,” and received a public reply, in the Knoxville Whig,-pmt of which we subjoin, as it is a .graphic specimen of Mr. Brownlow’s ■ style: - I join- the Democracy !. Jordan Clark,, you. know not what you-say. When I join Democracy;: tho Popo of Rome will join the Methodist Choreh. When Jordan Clark, of Arkansas, is President of. the Republic of Great Britain by the universal suf frage of a contented people; whon Queen Victoria'-: consents to be divorced from Prince Albert by a'. county court in Kansas; when Congress obliges;s by law, James Buchanan to marry a European princess;, when the Pope leases the Capitol at Washington for his city residence; when Alexan der of Russia and Napoleon of Prance are elected; Senators in Congress from New Mexico ;"whengood men cease to go to heaven, or bad men to hell;, when-this world is turned upside down; when, proof is afforded, both clear and unquestionable!,; that there is no God; whon men turn to ants, and ants to elephants—X will change my political faith: and come out on the side of Democracy! ” Mr, Brownlow’s narrative of events, during the terrible infliction of Secession in Tennes see, bears the impress of plain truth. The more striking of these events have been very artistically represented in the well-designed wood engravings which copiously illustrate the ‘ volume. In every instance, Mr. Bro wnlow gives dates, locality, circumstances, and names of the parties. There is no evasion,—no hold ing back. He returns to Tennessee with his book in bis band, daring any man to impeach its veracity as to facts therein set forth. It is true that some of tbo deeds therein recorded are so vile, and wicked, and brutal as to seem almost incredible. But the record, writ “more in sorrow than In anger,” is fatally true.v The publisher (Mr. G. WYChilds) has received an attestation of this truth from one best qua lified to judge, the Hon. Horace Maynard, Member of Congress for East which we subjoin. It is dated “ House of. Representatives, Washington, July 7, 1862,” and runs thus: I have neglected to acknowledge an early copy of Mr. Brownlow’s book. I have read it with great interest. The biographical portion was, much of is, new to mo, as it will be to thousands of his friends, who have known him only during tho last twenty years. They will value it. The political writings are not new ; I read them, as from time to time, they were published in my own city, through the columns of his, paper. Read, however, by the light of subsequent events, they discover new points. They show that the writer fully appreciated the significance of passing events, and comprehended the future with a sagacity little' short of prescience. Tho personal narrative is painfully attiactive, though 1 cannot say it is new. The_ localities and the persons mentioned are all familiar to me. : In some of the incidents I partici pated ; ef fhe others I have heard through different sources. Yet I recur to them with wonder as to a bewildering: dream: As soon as it can reach the people of East, Tennessee, the .scene of those thril ling events; it will be devoured with avidity,: It forms an important chapter in the history of that devoted region. And every American citizen who desires: to obtain 'an inside view of the rebellion, will findfitno less instructive than interesting. - As I would have expected, from my intimate ac quaintanee with the author, the work is prepared with very little artistic skill; a straightforward, truthful, forcible, mi embellished statements those things which he wishes his readers to know. It is the. outspoken language of an earnest, sincere, and resolute man; -and-as such it will make a pro found impression. The last 150 pages of Mr. Brownlo w’s book are more interesting to us than any preceding portion. Why? Because they literally jour nalize his daily life from the beginning of last December—through his prison and sickness sufferirgst, down to his arrival in Philadelphia three months ago.

Lancaster CouNTYj.Juty 8,1862- : To the hditOT'pfifVke'Press :* Sir : Being of-'an inquiring mind, I should like to know what causes this recent demand for United States postage stamps. - The story goes thus: Some benevolent, but somewhat eccentric individual, (name unknown,) promises to educate any boy bringing him oi;s vnli/vn old stamp:— voi!a tout. ,Now the question arises, what will he do with them? Xla3 this philanthropic unknown discovered a process by which the mark cancelling the stamp can be rem'oved defacing the profile of General Washington and is it his patri otic intention to sell, tho father of his country and tho public? The provost marshal forbid! What can be tho object of this stamp hunter—name un known? Perhaps the demand for this specimen of the engraver’s art is such a hoax ’as occurred in Germany a few, years sinoo : It was current that some •Englishman would make a valuable present to any one bringing him enough oId : postage stamps to paper a room of certain dimensions. Forthwith every one started on a collecting tour—the first question asked when friends met was, “ Have yon any stamps to give me?”-" It became such a nui sance that the police were called in to investigate matters ; - the rich Englishman was never found er heard of,''and I believe all that sapient body, dis; qpvered was that some wag of a student started tho whole thing in a memont of fun. Now, if our domestic stamp collector wishes to educate seme one, why not select a fit subject at once, instead of making the object of his projected charity lose half a lifetime in collecting a million of old stamps? We can scarcely receive a ietter but a dozen cormorants aro waiting to Seizo tho receipt of our venerable unc'o. Now this should be put a stop to, otherwise some enterprising indi-: vidua.l will be caught robbing the mail for the sake of tho stamps. let me suggest that the; female portion of stomp hunters would more profitably employ their time in scraping lint for our poor soldiers, and be doing some good to their country at the same time. . . r I refer to one sex alone, as the ladies seem to bB more anxious for this loy to be educated than that individual does himself.'

General Ripley, however, with fh© 44th and 48th Georgia,’end 2d and Sd North Carolina, macoan attack upon tbo Yankee fortifications at Ellysou’s Mills, in which the 44th Georgia and 3d North Carolina suffered ©xtremely, and did not succeed in taking them, owing to Ike impracticable nature of'tke ground. Operations were then suspended on our side, but the . enemy kept up a ; deafening roor of artiilery,till late in the night. liong-, had raeanwhile crossed, and.; marched pa- STalle! with tho Chickahominy. The brigades of Gene rals'Featheratone and Pryor were in and, pro ceeding sorb© distance, halted for tho night. About mid night Jfeatberstone received orders to change his' posi tion, and to occupy a skirt of woods near Beaver Bam creek, and facing the Federal batteries. He did so, and the men wore scarcely ■ asleep when, -twilight, approaching, the enemy discovered the bivouac;: and immediately commenced to shell it vigorously. The men, thus unceremoniously aroused, seizsd their muskets and foil io, and Gen. Fea .theretone, just arrived from headquarters, led them to storm tbe position, mounting ton guns, and supported by two or three brigades. Sharp fighting now commenced ; on ail sides, when Gen. Pryor Bent for assistance, and ; ‘ Wilcox soon camoupon the ground. To cover the in fantry attack and draw of the artillery fire, the 3d Rich- ■ mood Howitzers, some pieces of the Donaldsonvllle and Tbomas Ailillery, moved up and played upon the ene my’s position magnificently. Having engaged tbe enomy tor along time! and Sliding it Impossible to cross the; creek wimout a bridge, one was constructed by some of tbe 19th HtesiE-sippi and 14th Lonleiana under fire, when the whole force advanced and closed up with the enemy, driviog-fhem in groat confusion from the field. The difficulties of attack at tbis position woro such that it Is .impossible to give a correct idea without maps—the battery being on a height, flanked by rifle pits, a deep , creek at-the foot of the hill, and covered with a thick hedge. . ; . The a‘tack of our men on Gus position was impetuous and daring, but the loss, was great, for the foe were so sdreened by the position it was impossible to get at them properly. Their lew* was severe. Gen. Featherstone’e adjutant general, Geo. P. Foote, was shot while riding far in advance ol the 12th Miseisaippi, and, although hailed to return, he did not, ho was auickly siarled out and morfcdly wounded. Hia body was shortly afterwards found: despoiled—watch, money, and sword gone. The 12th Missieslppi went out in tbemorning with 397 men ; lost in this engagement twieve killed, sixty-eight wound . cd, and nine, missing. The regiment was commanded by Major W. 'B. Bifly, who was wounded leading acharge, the colonel being absent and sick and the lieutenant co lonel wounded. The 19th Mississippi went into action with 521; had thirty-one hilled and one hundred and fifty wounded. The 2d Mississippi Battalion, Colonel Taylor, went into action'with 234 men, aod bad thirty killed and wounded. The loss of Pryor’s brigade we have not beard, but hear that tbe 14th Louisiana and the rem nant of St Paul’s Battalion suffered severely; Wilcox, being in support, did not lose many. The general speaks in high : tenns of tbe four field pieces in this attack, the 3d Richmond Howitzers, some ot the Bonaidsonvilieand Thomas Artillery having caused great execution among, the enemy, and with slight lots to themselves. Tho ra pidity of their fire quite astonished the Yankees, and could be distinctly hoard over all our city long before dawn bad fairly broken. : V \ EIGHT AT ELLYSON’S MILLS. ' While Featherstone, Pryor, and Wilcox were thus successfully engaging the enemy on the right of our ad vance, Gen Maxey Gregg and his brigade were also hard at work, andsuccessfully stormed the strong position of EllyEon’Oliila, and: took up the line, of march on the left. They did not ad vance bn the mills by the road, as had been done on Friday evening, by Ripley, bnt simply made a feint in that direction, crossed the main body higher up the croek, took the redoubts and rifle pits on. flank, carried them with the bayonet, passed through the camps, ami followed the. road towardß Gaines* Mills, whither the enemy was retiring. ; ! ' AT GAINES’ MILLS. * From prisoners captured at both poaitiong—who proved to be of the valley ai-ray—it was ascertained that we might expect stout resistance at Gaines’ Mill?, since three or feur whole divisions were strongly encamped there, McClellan commanding in person, with Major Generals McOelli Sorter, Sedgwick, and others—their estimated force being not less than thirty odd thousand men. As our three columns moved by paralleiliaes, we followed and conversed with prisoners, who informed ug that their less on Friday at Meadow Bridge, Mechanica ville, and Ellyaoh’s mills, had been fearful, and that the whole night had been occupied in burial. The Federals carry off alftheir dead and wounded ag fast os shot, aud we only discover thoee who fall opd are left.at the acuut moment of retreat: This icforisiatioh we believe to be correct;- ■’ -The heads. ,cf onr thres columns having reached Walker Hogan’s farm, northhenk of the Ohickabomlny, about nine-miles northeast of Richmond, all ’came to a halt, and Oeiierals Lee and Loxigstreet took np Quarters in the houee and made dispositions for a further advance towards: Gaines’ Mills, distant about one mile through the weeds." FestberstOßo’e brigade having suffered much in tlie morning, vViicox led, being followed byJP, yor, and Featherstone in reserve. The composition Wilcox’s coniiuand is mostly Alabamians; Pryor has the 14th Lotrieiaho, St. Paul’s battalion, 3d Virgiuio, and one ether, regiment; Featherstone has the, 19th and 12th Misslgsippi, and 2d Mississippi battalion. Emerging from the woods, the road leads to the left and then to the right round Gaines* house, when the whole country, for the area of some two miles, ia an open, unbroken succession of undulating hills Standing at the north door of Gaines’ house, the whole country to the right, for the distance of one mile, is a gradual slope to wards a creek, through which tho main road runs up an open hill, and then winds to the right. In front, to the : left, are orchards and gullies running gradually to a deep creek. Directly in front, for the distance of a mite, the ground is almost table laud, suddenly dipping to the deep creek mentioned above, being faced by a timber-covered hill ‘ fronting all the table laud. Beyond this timber covered hill the country is again open, a.periect plateau, a farm house and outhouses occupying-the ceatre, the main road mentioned winding to the right end through all the Federal camps. To the left and rear of the second mentioned farm a road comes in upon the Sat lauds, j lining the main road mentioned. Thus, to recapitulate, except the deep creek and timber covered hiU beyond it, the whole country, as Been from the north doorof Gaines’ house, is unbroken, open, undulating, and table land, right forming a descent to the wood-covered creek, the left being dips and gullies, with dense timber still farther to; the left, the Iront being for the most port table land. These particulars of the position are as correct, perhaps,' as can be mentioned ; but without a map it will always be difficult to understand tho topography of this hard fought and rictoricus field of Gaines 1 Mills. But to the soutoeastof Gaines’ house is a large tract of •timber, commanding 'all advances upon the mala road, and In this McGitllan'and McCall had posted a strong body of skirmishers, with .art'llery, to annoy our flsnk .and rear when advancing on their camps on the high ‘ grounds, if we cid bo by the main road over the table lands to the norths It now being 3 P. M., and the head of our column in view of the Federal camps, Gen. Pryor was sent forward with his brigade to drive away the heavy mass of skir mishers posted to our rear to annoy the advance -This being accomplished with great tuccess and with little loss to us, Piyor returned and awaited orders. Mean while the Fee erase, from their camps and several posi tions on the high grounds, swept tho whole face of the country with their numei ous artillery, which would have annihilated our entire force if not screened iu the dip 3 of the land and in gulließ to our left. Advancing cau tioufly but rapidly in tie skirt of woods and in tbe dips to the left, Wilcox and Pryor, deployed their men into line of battle—Ft atberstone beirg in tlie rear—and, sud denly appearing on the plateau facing tbe vered hill, rushed down into the wide gully, crossed it, clambered over all tbe felled limber, stormed the timber breastworks beyond it, and began the ascent of the hill under a terrific fire of sharpshooters, and an incessant dischargeof graph and canister from pieces posted on the brow of the bill, and from batteries in their comps ta the right on the high fiat lands. Such a 'position was never stomed before. In descending into tbe deep creek, the infantry and artillery, fire that assails! tbe three brigades was the most terrible en record ; Twenty-six pieces were thundering at them, and a perfect hail-storm of lead fell thick and fast around them. One of Wilcox’s regi ments wavered ; down the General rushed furiously, sword in band, and threatened to behead the first man who hesitated. Pryor eteadHV advanced, but - slowly, and j.by the time that the three brigades had stormed the position, pegged up tho hill throngbTtimber and over felled trees,-Featherstonp was far in advance. Quickly the Federate withdrew their pieces and took up a fresh posi tion, to assail tho throe brigades advancing in perfect fine of battle from the. woods and upon the plateau. Offi cers had no horses—all were shot; brigadiers marched sword in hand; regiments were commanded by captains, and companies by rergeantg, yet on ward they rushed, with yells and colors flying, and* backward, still backward, fe'l the Federate, their'. men t tumbling, every moment In scores. But what a sight met the eyes of theao three gallant bri gades! In front stood Fedeial camps, stretching : to the northeast For miles; drawn up in line of .battle were mere than three full divisions, commanded by, McCall, Porter, Sedgwick, &c. j banners darkened the air ; artil lery vomited forth incessant volleys cf grape, canister, and shell; heavy masses were moving on our left through the woods to flank us. Yet oh came Wilcoxto the right, Pryor to the loft, and ’Feathorstono to: the. centre—one grand, matcbUss line of : battle, : almost consumed by the exploits of the day—jet onward they advanced to the heatt of tbe Federal position • and, when the enemy had fairly succeeded in almost flanking us oa the left, great commotion iB heardinthe woods—volleys upon volleys are heard in rapid Buccesiion, which are recognized and cheered by our men. u lt is Jackson,” they about, «on their right and rear !” Yes, two or three brigades of Jackson’s army have flanked the enemy and are getting in therear. Now Ike fighting was bitter and terrific. "Worked up to madness, Wilcox, and Pryor dash for ward at a run, and: drive the enemy with - irroaietible fury j to our left emerge Hood’s Texan brigade, Whiting’s comes after, and Tencter follows.

M., and jußt as the rout of the enemy is complete—just ss the last valleys are sounding in the enemy’s ear, tho distant and rapid discharges- of cannon tell that Jackson has fallen upon the retreating column, broken it, and captured 3,000 prisoners. Far in/the night bis insatiable troops hang upon the enemy, and for miles upon miles ore dead,/wounded, prisoners, wagons, cannon, &0., scattered in inextricableconfuaion upon the road. Thus for four hours did our inferior force, unaided by a single piece cf artillery, withstand over thirty thou sand of the enemy, assisted by twenty-six pieces of artil lery.' ... •' - In total we captured many prisoners and thirty pieces of artillery up to five V M. Friday, and in the battle of Gaines’ Mills captured twenty-six field pieces, 15 000 stand of. arms, six stand of colors, three generals (Rey nolds, Sanders, and Bankin', and over 4,000 prisoners, including dozens of officers of every grade, from colonels to lieutenants of the line. THE FEDERAL FORCE. Every arm of the service was well represented in the Federal line—cavalry were there in force, and wken our men emerged from the woods, attempted to charge, but the three brigades on the right and Jackson’s three bri gaderon the left closed up racks and poured such deadly volleyß-upon the. horsemen that they left the ground in A DARING ATTACK.

McCall’s, Porter’s, and Sedgwick's “crack” divl sionsmelted away before our advance, however, and had the Rght lasted one-half hour longer, not one whole re»i ment would have survived it. McOioHan, prisoners say, repeatedly-waspresent and directed movement!; bat when the three brigades to our loft emerged from the woods, such confusion ensued that ho gave orders to re treat, supped off ms horse, and escaped as best he could. Some say that he was severely wounded, and many offi cers (prisoners) believe the report that he was on the field is undoubtedly true; for every thing had been previously prepared for & grand fight at Gaines’. Mills, McClellan oven promising to capture our, whole force should we at tempt to storm his c&mp3. Results were different, and so the fates reward the greatest iiar of his agu. CHANGES AND ItEI'UT.SES. Much has been said of repeated u cbargea” made and “ repulses.” 'Wild'imaginations have concocted mouy Buch foolish reports.. There was but one “ charge,” and, from the moment tbe word of command was gi ren, *« Fix bayonets—forward!” our advance was never stopped, despite the awful reception which inet it. It is trno that one or two regiments became confined in passing over the deep ditch, abatis, and timber earthwork ; it is also true that several slipped from the ranks and ran to the rear—but in many cases these wore wounded me but , tho totaluu nber of “ stragglers” -would hot anmunt to more than one hundred. This is strictly true,anlre dounds to onr immortal honor. These facts are true of Wilcox’s, Pryor’e, and Featherstone’s brigade», who formed our right ; and we are poiitivo that, from the composition of Whiting’s, Hood’s, and Fender’s brigades, who flanked the enemy and formed our left, they never could be made to falter; for Whiting had the 11th, 16;b|~ and 2d Mississippi, and two otter regiments unkopwn to ns; Hood hadfourToxan and onoQeorgiaregiment, and the material of render’s command was equffiy as good as any, and greatly distinguished itseir. Taeso wor. the : troojainoßttyengaged, and.that:suffered tho most.: It isgrossinjniitioo.in.anr to tail! of our.troops making “ three charges,’’ “rcpnlsoe,” &c.V 1 &a. Our troops re ceived the command but once, and ir Satan and all his host had confronted them, instead: of . mortal Yankees, the result would hare boon the Botno. Thoro wore no re pulses—all arrangements wrorked like a charm; and we oughtnotoniy to do onr soldiers justice, but hwtiiy thank Providencß for His guiding hand and assistance in the immortal events of Ihnrßday, and Friday. “WHO TOOK TDE BATTKIUESV” It is always a difficult matter to ascertain with any de gree of certainty who took this or that battery; for, ever since the capture of Sherman’s, at Manassas, thefines tion of conquered bat lories has always been a vexed one. The position of regiments changes so often in an engage ment that one, perhaps, who did bnt little, by some lucky chance finds itsrlt before a feebly-defended or deserted battery, and, simply for the trouble of planting a fla<> therton, baa honor conferred on it for doing nothing There were not less than six batteries captured In the battles ef “ Gaines’ Mill,” yot not one of any of our rel giments can lay positive claim to any single one piece, for all arc contested property. Some of the 12th Mississippi claim the beautiful brass pieces t o much admired, and officers say that when they arrived In front a yonng man named Cassidy jumped upon one of the horses and wished to drive them off or turn them on the enemy, bnt was not allowed. The sth Texas, after bard fighting, found itself before a battery ar-d e’eared it. but yefsome other regiment claimed it A Georgia regiment of Hood’s brigade claimes one, Wil cox’s brigade claims another; and so it is—they all fight for them, yet none can la. positive individual claim to any. Yet all enjoy the joke, and laugh right heartily over the dangers of capture, and chat around camp fires right merrily,^mever counting the danger, but only dc sirrng new occasions to distinguish themselves. ; MOSKY WAS PODSD Quite abundantly among the Wain. Some men, in inter ring tho dead, often searched the pockets, Ac., one man finding not less than §l5O in gold; another fished ont of some old clothes not lees than S5OO : another SI.OOD in Federal notes. "Watches, both gold and Biiver, were found among the aroils, one lucky iodividuel havino hot lobs than six chronometers ticking in his pocket at° one time. -As a general thing, more money win found upon the dead on the field than on any other of which we have heard. CLOTHING IN ABUNDANCE wss scattered about, and immense piles of hOw^ uniforms were found untouched. : Our mea'seemed to take great delight in assuming Federal officers’ uniforms,: and strutted nbout Berio comically, much, to the amusement of- duety, powder.begrimed youths, who sat loliiog and smoking in the shade.: Every conceivable article of clothing was found in these divisional camps, and came suite apropos to our needy soldiery, scores of who® took a cool bath, and changed old for new under-clothing many articles being of costly material and quite uniguo’ •CUE ASfOONT OF AMMtrjfITIOX POUND was considerable, and provdd of very superior quality and manufacture. The exact amount captured we have : not yet ascertained, but from the immense piles of boxes scattered: through the camps, wa conjecture that the enemy had laid in quite an unusual supply, expecting to use tt, doubtless, upon our devoted men, and so they would did our troops stand, ub they do, at “long taw,” and not come to “wlose quarters.” THE CANNON AND ARMS CAPTUP.ED in this batflo. were numerous, and of very superior work mapship. The twenty-six pieces were the most beautiful we have ever seen, while immense piles of guns could be "seen on every band, many scarcely having the manufac turer’s finish even tarnished. The enemy seemed quite willing to throe them away on.the slightest pretext, dozens being found with loads still undischarged. Tha number of smeil-anns capturaa, we understand, was not less than fifteen thousand, of every calibre and every make. : TIIE FEDERAI, "WOUNDED were collected together, and formed a very large field hospital : The court yard of a farm homo was selected, and scores could be seen reclining on tbo grass, and ox pert surgeons operating with much skill and zeal -By mutual agretmeut, surgeons are not considered prisoners of war: hence, at the close of tbe lato battle, many Fede ral surgeons remained behind, and their services seemed very much appreciated by the men. As many as could be were convoyed to town, and attended to. good convey ance being furnished, and much cs're manifested for their welfare. ’f 7 .:.: --T.. ■ : THE GALLANT - DEAD—COLONEL WHEAT Among "the many heroic spirits who sacrificed their lives on tho altar of our country in the dreadful, but glorious struggle at Gaines’ Mills on Friday, June 27, we would particularly mention the name of the immortal NYheat, of TYheat’s battalion, the master spirit of-that heroic band who, from the dawn, of our struggle until the present, has always been found in the vanguard bat tling manfully for our lives, liberties, and homes. At Manassas the name of "Wheat became historical in out annals, for so long'as that Tictory shall remain known to fame, so long will the name of Robert Wheat he ceupled with it. Despising petty intrigue, Colonel. Wheat de sired nothing more than to secure his own beloved South, and to be in active service was his chief delight. Join ing Jackson in the valley, and winning imperishable fame, thia gallant man fought all through that arduous but all glorious campaign, and, while loading the small remnant of his once numerous battalion to the charge at Gaines’ Mills, was mortally shotin the head. “Bury mo on the field; boys,” Eaid.he, and placidly expired May he rest in peace! RESULTS. It Is impossible to get correct returns of the killed and wounded, x Our loss is probably .not over 2,030 at the highest calculation. The, Federal less is estimated at 20.QC0 killed, wounded, and prisoners, if not more. The following items we have from Featherstone’a brigade * The casualties in the 12th Regiment Mississippi Volun teers, Feathers tone’s brigade, Xongstreet’s division, commandt dby Major "W. H, Billy, are a 3 follows; Major W. H. Billy wounded early in the morning’s action white leading the regiment in the first charge: In the morn ing' engagement this regiment lost 12 killed, 68 wounded, and 9 missing. Number taken into the field, officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates, 397. In tho evening engagement (Captain S. B. Thomas commanding regiment), the loes was 6 killod, 38 wounded, and 18 missing. Number of officers and privates taken into the battle, 308. The regiment thus lost 153 killed, wounded, and missing during tbe day, out of 397 men. Tbe above is as near correct as it ig possible to ascer tain, as several reported missing have been found killed, and others wounded. Tbe Nineteenth Mississippi Volunteers lost SI killed and I£o wounded, out of 521 that went into action in the morning.

In the fight oh Friday, Johnson’s battery, of this city* occupied an expesed position on the Goal Harbor road, about one mile from Coal Harbor,**and was subjected to a fire remarkable for; its accuracy, which (as an eye witness informs us) the command encountered without flircbmg. Captain Johnson was conspicuous for his bravery throughout the period iu which his battery was engaged, and our informant eays that net an finch of grow d would have been yielded while amanremaffied to serve the guns, had not General Lee, ohservingthe deadly effect of the enemy’s fire, ordered. them to. with draw from the contest. Iho casualties, both in men and heroes, were heavy. Among the sad incidents of the battle may be men tioned tbe death of Lieutenant W. Eugene Webster, of Maryland, chief executivo officer of the arsenal, who was acting as aid to General Bodes He fell in the thickest of ihe fight, while gall&ntly cheering on a regiment. His body was brought to the city on Saturday. Lieutenant W. was a relative of General Lee. : We regret to learn that Major T. S. Skinner, Ist North Carolina, was killed in tbe engagement on Thursday evening, in the attack on the Federal entrenebments. AT GAENETT’s FARM. About eleven o’clock, on . Saturday, Captain Moody’s battery opened fire upon the entrenchments of tho ene my, located just-beyond'Gajnett’s farm. The battery fired some ten or fifteen minutes, and meanwhile a' body of infantry, consisting of ths 7th and - Sth Georgia regi ments moved up under cover of Ihe fire from tbe field pieces. Thefitb, in advance, charged across a ravine and tip a hill, beyond which the Yankee entrenchments lay. They gained the first line of werks, and took pos seesion of them; but it Is proper to state, this was un occupied .at the time by ,ihe Yankees. Tbo fire of the enemy, was murderous, and as soon as our men reached tho brew of tho bill rapid volleys of grape, canister, and musfeclry were poured into them. It was found almost impossible to proceed farther; but the attempt would have been made had not orders been received to fall back, which was done in good order, still under fire.- The|loss in the 7th is reported at seventy-odd men killed, wounded, and missing. In the Bth, upwards of eighty- CoL Lamar, of the Bth, w'as severely wounded in the groin, and fell into the bands of the enemy. Lteutenant Colonel Towers was captured, but uninjured. The .Yankees wore completely hidden behin d their, works, and did not suffer much apparently. We took a captain, lieutenant, and some five or bix privates—the Yankee picket force.at the point. Later a flag of truce was granted to take away our dead and wounded, but a con ference with Colonel Lamar was refused. The Federal surgeons, however, did not thinking wound a fatal one, and, therefore, would not allow him to be taken away. GENERAL TOOMBS 5 BRIGADE. On Friday, General Toombswas ordered to “ feel” the enemy entrenched to the east and front of Garnett’s farm. After receiving written orders to advance, Gen. Toombs rent forward the 2d, 15th, and 17th Georgia. The enemy had near three brigades in a skirt of the woods behind an abattia of felled timber and brushwood. The Georgians' advanced spiritedly upon the Yankees, and drove them back; hot,however, until they had fought desperately for the ground. Finding it unfavorable to.ouflauk our force, the Yankees withdrew and left usin .possession of thefioid. It was maintained until orders were sent to Toombs to retire. - TWO CENTS. , Oar total loss may be summed up as follows: Killed 24 wounded ICO, and 4 missing, up to the time tha reports came in. Col. Mclntosh, of the 15th, lost his leg j Oapt. Birch waa hilled: Capt. Tilley dangerously wounded, and Lieut. Edwards slightly wounded. This engagement was a Bpirited and creditable affairy Gexr. Toombs obey ing strictly hla written order B. '•• ; General Lee pushed his advance unfit 10 o’clock last night (Saturday), and at 11 waß in occupancy of the York River Railroad, the enemy’s principal line of com munication. This in effect pierces the enemy’s centre, and separatee their forces on the north side of the Chicka homlnj from those on the south side. : Brigadier General Biker is among the prisoners brought to this city yester day morning. . MISCELLANEOUS Among the wounded may be mentioned Major John M. Daniel, editor rf the Richmond Examiner, and late of General Lloyd’s staff, but now acting with General Hill. His arm was shattered.

Be is now at the Ameri can Hotel. Private Charles Lucas, of the Wise Artillery, from Marlimburg, was killed on Friday afternoon. Bis bro ther, Sergeant Benjamin Lucas* of the same conipany, was seriously wounded. '! - • V-: ■ln ihe engagement near Fair Oaks, yesterday after noon, Brigadier General Griffith had ono of his legs broken, and apprehensions are felt that amputation may be necessary. Al Federal lieutenant, who was captnrod yesterday morning and brought to the headquarters of Gen. Lee, reports that two entire, regiments had deserted during the morning. The Confederate forces yeaterday afternoon occupied the enemy’s position at the. White House, on the Py munky, but all the stores of the enemy at that point were destroyed by them in their retreat. THE YANKEE PRISONERS. ; We have rarely witnessed a more stirring time than prevailed in Richmond on Saturday last What with the constant arrival of our own wounded, who were attended wifh the most assiduous caro and attention from the bat tle field by the committee appointed for that purpose, and citizens generally, and tho a’mosi continual arrival of captured Hessians, tho people were afforded an almost exhsustle&s subject, not only for action, but comment. As we have intimated, our wounded received ovary care end attention, while we are sore that the; unmanly foe who badbfcen arrested in his career of rapine and mur der could not complain of the treatment he received, even though his grand entry lets the * 1 rebel capital” involved in no degree a triumph of his own. Wo have heard re ports of the.arrival of over 3.200 prisoners of war, in cindiDg nearly a hundred officers of different grades; but it*, that number arrived they were not listed at the dif ferent places appointed for their reception. Bp to ton o’clock yesterday morning about 1,800 men, including most of the 4th New Jersey and 11th Pennsylvania regi ments, bad been landed in prison at this point. The list of prisoners embraces one brigadier general, sundry colo nels, a fuli supply of captains, an indefinite number of lieutenants, with a slight Bpriokling of adjutants and sur geons. These latter, it is understood, in pursuance of a recent agreement between our own and the Lincoln Go vernment, are to be released unconditionally. No doubt they will beeenttoTejointheir late comrades asseonas' an opportunity occursfor their safe conduct across our lines. In furnishing a list of the prisoners we. forbear comment on tho scenes and incidents occurring on their to and entry into the city. Much might be said, ihe materials being ample, but we feel no inclination to give notoriety te these marauders, too many hearth stones, notonly in our midst,. but throughout the Con feder&cy, being brought to. grief by their high-handed acts of neurpatiou and lawless raids on our once peaceful aud happy soil. As truthful chroniclers of events wo must not omit to mention that much ill feeling has been created in the bosoms of very many people, hot atone connected with the army, hut in the private walks of life, at the deference and obsequious attention paid to some few of the Yankee officers, they having been, ss is al leged, quartered at one of our best hotels, whilo our brave men of similar rank have received the scant hos pitality afforded by the dreary dungeon audits attendant chains and' misery. To & Government resolved to stand on and maintain its dignity in all thing?, such a course of policy may well be doubted. We simply mention the matter as one that has produced a deep feeling of indig nation, and provoked comment of no very complimenta ry nature, to the parties instrumental in producing tha effects reported.

Harrison’s Bend) James River,) Tuesday, Julji|B, 1862, ) Information has been received at tbe headquarters of the army, giving tfco particulars. of the arrival in Rich mond of aTarge number of our officers, taken prisoners by the rebels during the memorable seven days. On Sunday, when our forces commenced falling back to their new Uue of defences, a body of rebel cavalry .made a sudden dagh from the wood and surrounded Car ter’ehoute. ‘ They seemed to. have received information that there were several of our officers staying there. The supposition is that Dr. Carter, although professing to be a neutral, was the one who betrayed them into the bands oftheenemy. The officers were ordered to mount their horses, and, with an escortof rebel cavalry, were taken to Savage Station, from thence to Richmond. ■ As the officials’ report of our casualties are broughtin, the previous statements relative to our loss are found to be much exaggerated. .! Tbe condition of our troops is everything to be desired. The officers and men are in fine spirits, eager for the de cisive struggle before Richmond. . Reinforcements are rapidly arriving, which are at tached to the brigades which have been'most weakened by casualties Deserters from the rebel army report that the dead on tbe different fields are not aU buried yet. The enemy are still engaged in the task, Many of the wounded on both sides have died from starvation and want of at tendance.—N. Y. Times. Fortress Nonroi, July. 9— Our ; army for the last twenty-four hours has presented an animated appearance in consequence of .the congregation of transports with troops asd supplies for the army of the Potomac. The ia&t of General Borntide’s fleet have not yet arrived, and tho advance is detained so that they may all go up the river together. Yesterday the rebels again fired into our vessels going ; up and coming down the river, though I do not learn that any particular harm was done. With a few pieces of light artillery, which can.be moved from place to place, on tbe wcode’d bank of the James, out of sight and range of the gunboats, the rebels will be able to offer considera ble annoyanc*, though It will be Impossible to blockade the river. As, yet no serious in c®nvenien.ee haslarisen from the possession by the rebels of tbe left bank of* the James. .. The arrival of tbe President at Harrison’s Landing yesterday, took everybody by surprise. Salutes were fired and demonstrations of respect and gratification were freely indulged in. The President was at once weited on by General McClellan, and he was preparing to visit the line of defences and the army. THE PRESIDENT CONFERS WITH GEN. ar'C&ELLAN. 4P. M:—By the Waraer from Hunter’s Landing, I learn that oh tbe arrival tf the steamer, 1 with President Lincoln and Postmaster General B*air on board, General McClellan, with several other military gentlemen, visited him oh hoard, after which the President and the general held a private conference for about ha*f an hour. They tben proceeded in an ambulance to General Sumner’s headquarters, when they took to horse, with a view,to visiting the line of intrenchments. When the President’s visit became known j there was on all hands the liveliest interest manifested to see him, and wherever he went he was greeted with the wildest enthusiasm. AT.T. RIGHT WITH THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. Coming into the trenches,'the President dismounted, and, ascending the ramparts of the newest fortification, briefly addressed the soldiers. ; He said he had come to see for himself, and to know the situation of affairs, and that he should go back satisfied. It was Bald they had been whipped. It was not so, and never would bo. Ho knew the men he saw around him would prove equal to the task before them, and never give up without going into Richmond. ; He had boon unable to sleep from anxiety, but after he bad seen and heard, he should go back to Washington satisfied that it was all right with the army of the Potomac, He declared his confidence in the army and" its commander, in all the men and all tbe officers, who were all alike men deserving the con fidence of the country. The President said he did not come to make a speech, THE WAB ERESS.

FROM THE SOUTHWEST. The Situation in Arkansas—. Col. Fitch Rein forced—Critical Condition of Gen. Curtis- Bombardment of Vicksburg. [Special; Despatch to the Chicago Tribune,] Oaiuo, July B,— The steamers Sunshine and Victory arrived from Memphis to-day. The former brings White river news to the 6th , The expedition which left Memphis to reinforce Col. Fitch met him near the month of White river, he having evacuated St..-Charles. The whole force turned back and went fifty miles above St. Charles, when he learned that Hindman was a few milts above with 8,000 men- Col. Fitch fell below again, on the 6th, to St. Charles: Nothing was known of the whereabouts : of Gen. Cur tis. Scouts sent out fail to return, or bring no tidings. He is supposed to be trying to reach the Mississippi above, or White rivers He has been oh half rations for over three weeks. . ' Minir-ins, July 6—10; A M., via Oaieo, July B.—A large number of negro* a have been captnred eight miles out of the city, supposed to belong to citizens lately en gaged in cotton-burning operations. They will be con fiscated, and set to work on the fortifications. Several cotton burners themselves, caught within a few days past, are in prison awaiting dieposal. Colonel Hillyar iEsned a special order this morning that if any propr!etor;or occupant of any building shall display a treasonable flag, or other emblem, intended as an Insult to the Federal army or loyal citizens, the pro vost marshal will take possession of such building, re move occupants; and convert the same to hospital or to other Government uses. General Grant also publishes an order calling upon masters of steamboats to report to Henry S. Fitch, aFsiatant quartermaster, ©rm&sterof transportation, im : mediately upon arrival here. No are permitted ‘to go down the river without a pfirmitfrem some officer. ; Memphis, Joly 7,10 A. 31.—A1l negroes taken by tho United States military authorities are at work on* the fortifications. Loyal men when found will be paid for the services of their riaves, but those known to belong: to rebels will be confiscated. . A colored mail-carrier was arrested yesterday, and a large number of letters to-different parties in the city were taken from him, fastening treasonable correspond ence upon several citizens, who will be looked after. The negro-tried to eecape, but was caught. Mrs. Galloway* wife of th© late Memphian .Postmaster Galloway, waa arrested yesterday for carrying on treasonable corres pondence with the rebels. Several letters from men in the army to persons here were fonnd, also letters ad dressed to rebel officers were found in her house. la accordance witlr the late military order, preparations were immediately made to put her outride the Federal lines. . ; Several copies of the Grenada Appeal, of the 3d, wero in this city yesterday. A gentleman who left Grenada on Wednesday last reports the following; Large num bers of Confederate troops are going from Tupelo, late Beauregard’s headquarters, to Water Valley, about forty miles south of Holly Springs. Breckinridge’s division had gone to Yick&burg. A large comber of Mississippi teoops were sent to Richmond. It was rumored at Gre nada, the day before our informant left, that Price waa somewhere on the Mississippi Central Railroad, between Grenada and Grand Junction, and ‘would re-take Mem phis.. On Saturday Jeff Thompson was at Senatoba, forty milesffrom Memphis, from which point the informant had to walk. He (Thompson) was busily. engaged, with hia whole force, trying to prevent persons coming toward Memphiß. Nearly all the Government stores had been cioved from Grenada. That which' remained upon tha railroad platform is ready to be sent off at a moment’s warning. There were from two thousand to three thou sand Confederate troops at Grenada when my informant left. The Confederates bad borned-all the trestle .work of the bridges between Memphis and Coldwater Station, on the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad. No Iron waa taken up as reported. The steamers Sunshine and W. H.'Brown, from Vicks burg, yesterday, bring meagre intelligence, as follows; Bombardment by the batteries continues slowly. Com. Porter had ec-mo twenty mortars-in position below tha town, and Com, Davis six above. The batteries replied slowly to the fire of the mortars. The water will proba bly be let into the canal on Sunday. The town is abandoned by the inhabitants, and occu pied by a garrison of 25,000 Confederate troops under Van Dorn. : The Mississippian of the 2d • has an account of ife editor, who virited Vicksburg after the engagement of Sunday last. Be thinks the Federate were fired on by a salute of the rebels in honor of- the reported victory at Richmond, just received. Some- of' the thirteen gtrna were fired shotted. Tha Federate immediately opened furiously upon the city, keeping up a bombardment unfit twelve o’clock at night. The shells struck principally ia the vicinity ,of . the Catholic church. The effect of tha shells was terrific. The editor of the Mississippian- had just entered tho city.. when the shells coming uncomfortably near, bo was advised to retreat, and accordingly retreated. Tho next morning, Monday,-he entered tho city again; ATI was quiet except the bustlo of preparation, moving far niture and things •of value. He rode through tho city to bbeerve"the effect of the bombardment, and was im pressed with the comparative slight damage done. Trebably five hundred shots;were counted. In,some irsticccs, the shell passed through a row of houses, leaving a hole scarcelylarger than itself to pass through, and on reaching the hill, there exploded. One fifteen-inch shell from a mortar entered the bluffs to a depth .of five or ien feefe No fires originated from the explosion cf the shells. The enemy are evidently not .desirous of burning the town, or they would have used Incendiary shtll. . . - On Monday, at two F. M., the Federate re-opened with tboir mortars, and kept up a constant fire till Tuesday evening, at foar o’clock. On Wednesday morning ail waa quiet. The rebels report one of*Com. Farragut’s boata sunk,"end others badly cut up. Ifc-is not so, however. Gen. S. H. Hempstead, of Little Bock, died on the2sth* OPERATIONS AGAINSP VICKSBURG. How the Blockade was Run—Strength ol the Rebels—The Canal. A corrofirpondent of‘the Cincinnati-Commercial writes re follows from the Mississippi flotHte, under date of tha 30th ultimo: . On arriving within four or fivamiles of this placa, we were surprised to find one of Commodore Farragut’s gun boats at anchor near the Louieiana shore.' I thought at first that this indicated, to a certainty that Vicksburg had been taken, believing it impossible for a vessel bo ruble as she appeared to be, to have run tho blockade. As we proceeded down the rivera little further, one ves sel after another of the lower flotilla hove ia sight, until we could count the aggregate of nine. Shortly after. I learned from one of Commodore Farragut’s officers, that it tyas actually the case ibat these nine vessels had run the blockade on Saturday morning at an early hour. Their names are as follows: Sloop-of war Hartford, (flagship),and Richmond; gunboats Oneida, Iroquois, Sciota, Wifisahickon, Winona, and Panola. They started from below the town at 3.30 A. M on Saturday morning, in the following order: Gunboats Oneida, Captain ;Lee, and Iroquois, Captain Palmer; sloop*of*war Hartford, Commodore Farr&gut; gunboats Sciota, Captain Donelson, and Wissahickon, Captain ——; sloop* ef* war Richmond, followed by gunboats Winona and Panola. The Brooklyn and gunboats Ken nebec and O wasco followed these vessels, but did not succeed in running tbe blockade. ' The Intention of Commodore Farragutwas quickly perceived by tbe rebels, who opened a heavy fire upon bis fleet immediately on its appearance in the range of tbeir batteries. The Federal vessels were in line of battle, and evinced ho desire to make a hasty trip past the enemy’s guns. They replied very briskly to the shots from land, and kept up a continuous 'cannonading for two hours and forty minutes, during all of which time they were tmdtr fire of not less than thirty of the rebel guns. The casualties in Com. F.irrsgut’s fleet amounted to eight killed and thirty wounded. None, of the vessels were very seriously irjnred. The Hartford (flag-ship) roceivcd a Bhot through her cabin, acd had her mizzen rigging badly dtmoged. The Richmond escaped re markably well—receiving but few marks on her wood work, and they of a very slight nature. Commodore Farregut had a vtry narrow escape from death during the engagement of Saturday morning. He had juft left tbe mizzen rigging of thoflag-ship, when the spar neon which be had been standing was shot away. I understand that the fleet now below Vicksburg com prises thirty vessels/ Ido not know* how many of them are sloops-of-war. The gunboats are all Fore-and-aft seboonerr, rigged vessels, and propellers—carrying one eleven-inch pivot gun, two twenty-four pound howitzers, and. one t veaty-poimd rifled gun. They are not iron clad, and are vulnerable at all points. I should nay they were very much inferior for fighting land batteries to our "Western gunboat?, which have achieved such brilliant successes on the Mississippi, Cumberland, and Tennessee rivers. Tbo sloop-of-war Hartford mounts twenty-six guns and the Bichmond twenty gun 3. A crew of one of Com. Farragnt’a. gunboats numbers seventy-eight men; her officers thirteen. . - The rebels have made a very strong point of Vicks burg, and are fufly determined to resist to the last. They have cot less than 18,000 men under command of Gen. Van Dorn, with between sixty and seventy guns, mount ed in tbree-tier batteries above and belo tv the town. Tho calibre of their"guns is not very large, hone of them ex ceeding eight-inch smooth bores. They are so planted, however, as to command the river above and below, and to give tvery possible air ©f impregnahitity'to tho work. The canal was commenced three or four days ago, and is now progressing so rapidly that the announcement of its completion may be expected next week. It is being done by impressed contrabands to the number of be tween five and Bix hundred, all of thou obtained from plantations within twenty miles of Vicksburg. Tho darkieswork industriously from morning till .evening, taking tbe usual noon hours for dinner. They are fed by Uncle Sam and quartered in a large cotton house on the plantation of Doctor White, in the immediate vicini ty of the field of operations. It ia doubtful whether the present low stage of water will allow Commodore Farra gut to attain his object, but it ia certain that if even the work was abandoned to-day the 4i cutoff’’ will be finish ed by the next freshet. - . “ Flans of Napoleon. The following; is an extract from a Paris letter* dated June 21,1862: “The French people are much excited by tho news of the recent repulse of tbeir troops in Mexico. But the old feeling remains. < En avant BataiU lo?is /’ is the cry. Still, as the scheme to elevata Prince Maximilian to the Mexican throne is evident ly to prove a failure, from the indisposition, of the people to submit to another Yturbide, and the rup ure of the tripartite swindle by England and Spain* the Emperor, after twisting his moustache, has hit on another expedient, and recoups for ano therdeal.* . “ He offers the following bon-bon. to his protege, the -Archduke. This is a principality on the Danube, to consist of Bosnia and " Herzogivinia, which are very respectable countries, with a good many square miles, lying between the Danube and Dalmatia.. They possess some large towns, and will form a solid. background to Dalmatia on the Adriatic. “It is true they are not the property of Louis Napoleon any more than Mexico, and they will have to he forced or stolen from * the sick man.’ The consideration expected in return is the yield ing up of Yenetia, and acquiescence in the designs upon tho temporal power of the Pope. u 4 Tout cbomin, m6ne a Rom ©,’ ” COST OF RECRUITING.—The cost of raising sol diers under different State authorities varies very much.
