[Bpecial Correapondenceof The Press.) SeYKOTH, P-BNKSVI.VANIA RjSSEBVJSS CAIIP, ) Haeeison ? s Landins, July 9, 1802. } On Thursday; Juno 28, wowere ordered to get ready for review by Gen. McClellan. • The boys accordingly brightened up, and got everything in order, when the sharp report of a Parrott gun told us there was work at hand. Soon the rattle oC musketry was heard about a mild from our camp, ' and we wore ordered to get ready to'support the Ist and 3d Brigades. ‘TVe immediately started out, the rebels meanwhile amusing.themselves by shell ing us from the other side of-the river, as wo marched along. We went into the fight about four ’ o’clock," and kept it up until, nine, when firing ceased on both sides, as ifcsy mutual, consent. Wb slept on the ground; where Vo had fought, with no thing to disturb us but an occasional shot from the' outer guards; During , this engagement wo were about seventy-five yards apart. The bullets came in a perfect hurricane, and the sholling was the most severe we experienced during our trying time. We had been contending against 45,000 men, ac cording to the statement of a prisoner, since con firmed by scores of the “gray , baoks" we cap tured. At three o’clock next morning (27th) we opened on them again, and then slowlyretreated to , the. position at Gaines’ Hill, a distance of six miles, where we were joined by the balance of Porter’s corps d’armee. Up to this time we had about S,OOO men, of which about 200 had been killed, woundod, and missing. The enemy pressed us olosely, and we had barely got into position when they made one of their im petuous charges bn our right, but they were re-- pulsed in gallant style. The fight was kept up for. about two hours, when the armies commenced ma noeuvring, the “ rebs ” finding it impossible to sue-' ■ cessfnUy attack us. They stiii outnumbered us two to one. About this time the Reserves were ordered to a position, as a‘ body of reserve, to at tack nf the decisive moment. .._At 4 o’clock the order was given, “ McCall’s division on the line,” and; amid the howling of shells and the whistling of bullets, we marched to the front. Our regiment was on the left, then on the right, then on the right centre,' and finally was placed on the-left centre. Here'we were ordered to lie dqwn, our com pany being placed between three pieces of. artillery. Here; is' where wo ; suffered so terribly.,. We ~were;-;b arely ijwenty yards ‘from' the enemy, and the grapo and canister was howling terribly. We drove them until about six o’clock, when “Stonewall” made his firgt appearance, and fell on our left wing. Be succeeded in flanking us, and planted a battery so as to enfilade our entire line. - This battery he lost; but the 2d. Maine and 4th Michigan broke, and broke our line. We could not stand it; they outnumbered us now four to one, and they were frcsh t whilst we were worn out iy our. dayand-a-kklf’s fghting, hand hardly any sleep. Wefell back, and were met by the Irish Brigade, when we turned and drove the rebels off the field, at the point of the bayonet. They received farther reinforce; monts, but we held the field until next morning, when wo crossed the Chiekahominy and blew up ‘the bridges. We then took a rest, and next morn ing started'for the White Oak Swamp. Everything was deoent and in order; we . saved our baggage train, which was nearly twenty miie's long ! After we had placed the swamp between us andjour pur suers we halted, and a short halt it was. The rebels now had another Column, directly from. Richmond! of about 100,000 men, bearing on our left. Add to this that our entire army was not yet united, and you may imagine how “ blue ”it looked. We had, however, succeeded in making the river, where the gunboats could co-operate with us. We fell back about one : and- a*hnlf miles, and chose our posi tion—our .division on the fourth line of battle ; our generals telling us that we would not be “put in” unless- absolutely necessary. We' did not wait long before the rebel column advanced on the first line, and almost the first command is; sued was, “McCall to the front,” and double-quick it went. We .charged them, and at the, point of the bayonet drove them from the ground three times, when we fell back, and fresh'troops took our place. The. enemy finally: withdrew, .about dark, and next morning we . again fell back, and united our- whole , army near'the river, at City Point. Here, with great pomposity, they again attacked us, on the Ist of July. “ Little Mac” himself com manded, and it would have done your heart good to'see them “skedaddle.” This engagement ended in a total rout. Here we took a brigade of “ rebs,” and a motley crew they were—all drunk. 1 Major Lyman, our provost marshal, tells me that all the rebel prisoners turned into his hands are drunk- This accounts for their; fighting so recklessly, I presume;; We again took the line of march next day, and cams to this place. ,The. Confederates planted a battery on a hilt and commenced throw ing shells into our camp. Our guns did not reply, 'but a division took a little walk of about five minutes, and, without firing a gun, quietly relieved them of their pieces, and took the soldiers in charge ..for safe keeping. They had seven email pieces, arid a good stock of ammunition. Our lines have been advanced, and we are now entrenching our selves. Our communication is how uninterrupted and much cheaper. The pupors will have it that Jackson was fighting ns on; Thursday and Friday, which is a mistake. ...He only came in on Friday .evening near dusk. The papers publish very little of a-reliable nature, so far as that great,'mas terly, and strategical movement is concerned. I asked one of the rebels whether they had seen any “ big shells” come, into their ranks, meaning from the'gunboats.; Ho replied, «. Yes, about the size of an ordinary knapsack." .. They do throw heavy sheila. . - : - . ?0f our losses, I would fain not speak, but so it must be to complete ’he story Out of 8;000 men the-Reserves tookin, we oan barely muster 3,50 Q. Among our missing are'Generais McCall, Reynolds, and Meade ; .Colonels Simmons, Hayes, Gallagher, and Jackson, with held andlihe ofiipers in.propof- Con. . ■ , Lebanon. FROM THE ARMY OF VIRGINIA. [Correspondence of The Dress.] Keab Ii'BOXT Roi-An, July 1. The stirring events near the rebel capital, for the past week, have totally eclipsed, those of minor im-, portance in the army of ,Virginia, which have been, in fact, confined to scouting, reconnoitring, and changcs in tho command; The only event of any importance in the field was a strong BBCONXOISSANCE OP triur. On Sunday morning Brigadier General Craw ford, oi General Williams’ division, was ordered to reconnoitre.Luray in force. This town, the capital of Warren county, (a village formerly of about 700 inhabitants,} iB twenty-five miles south of Front: Royal, near the west slope of the Blue Ridge, had' for the past ten days been strictly guarded by pickets, who refused every person ingress or egress at points fivo miles from town"; consequently, it was: unknown what force, if any, was . "concentrated" there. Several efforts were made by Generals Wil liams and Crawford to gain a view of tie valley near Luray, but the vigilance and aotivity of the roboi cavalry preyentedapproach nearer; than Mil ford on the north, and Sperryville on the other side of the ridge, on the east. A regiment of infantry .and a squadron of cavalry took pos session 1 of " Chester Gap, southeast of Bront Royal, to. prevent any flank, movement on our left, while the south branch of the Shenandoah protected Our right. One regiment of infantry and a squadron of cavalry advanced on the stone pike in the valley, while the main body, composed of cavalry, artillery, and infantry; proceeded along the foot of the ridge, through what is termed by the inhabitants' Gooney’s Manor, by a circuitous' . rood, almost inaccessible to anything but cavalry.. Tho scenery along this route was wildly pictu- PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 15, 1862. rofquo, and elioited admiration from all in tbe ranks. The soldiers almost forgot their fatigue while gazing upon the mountains; and, as if to add i a greater sublimity to tbe occasion, a thunder- i storm burst upon us, with its thousand echoes from . pinnacle, crag, and hill. It was one continuous roar, until the storm passed over. We passed several hamlets on the route, where the few inhabitants were almost as-wild and un tutored by civilization as the scenery around them; and nothing of the least importance oould be elicited from them. Finding the road more im practicable as the progressed, it took a road (or rather a path) turning due west, along the foot of a spur of the Blue Ridge, and,’after a journey of six miles,-striking the pike near Mil ford. At this place resides the'family of Mr. John F. Haines, who was barbarously taken to Luray by tbe rebels, and shot in oold blood, about, a month ago, for being a Union man. The circum stances of this ruthless act are thus detailed by his bereaved family: . n' f On the accession of Mr. "Lincoln to tbePresi\ dential chair, Mr. Ilaincs went ts Washington to witness the inauguration. While there he was warned by his family not to return, ag his life had been repeatedly threatened in his absence. He remained in Wasbington sixteen months, returning as General. Shields went. up the valley to attack Jackson’s, retreating column. He remained at homo only four days, when a party of the rebels, hanging upon .the rear of; Shields’returning; column,'seized- and took him to Luray. His arrest was accomplished by an . officer named Cox,' of a- Louisiana regiment, who has since boon captured, with the loss of one :of his ears by a bullet'" Before leaving Luray, the enemy took Mr. Haines into a , wood,‘and shot him, in cold blood; together,with' another man, leaving the unburied, bodies exposed at the place of the murder two days and nights. Mr. Haines left a wife, (who has been dangerously sick since the murder of her husband;) two sons, and a daughter, all possessed of more than ordi-s. 'nary intelligence, in this secluded part of the State.' Their means of support are believed to be limited. The entire command, being now consolidated, moved forward several miles, and bivouacked for; the night, under a steady rain. Gen. Crawford, with the tact of a veteran campaigner, blocked up all known routes of communication with' Luray, and . established distant outposts and lines of patrols. ’ ', At daylight Monday morning the column was ? again in motion for Luray, then nine miles distant.; .When, about five miles &om town our vedettes, oame" upon the enemy ’s picket,, capturing one, while two;, made their escape, all mounted;; The prisoner was armed with a pair of old cavalry flint-lock pistols ' . and a home-made sword, nearly as elastic as strip iron. Here the infantry and artillery were halted, while the cavalry alone proceeded. . Knowing that . the refugee pickets would inform the enemy of our; approach, the column was pushed'forward as fast as prudence would permit. ; On reaching the apox of the hills north of the town; the enemy’s cavalry were seen defiling into the Eew Market read westward. Vedettes and ad vance guard entered the town with uusiung .. bines and great caution, fearing; the enemy’s rear guard.might he there in force. . Every house';-was.: scrutinized, to prevent, if necessary, a repetition of the unfriendly reception in Winchester. The one-- my’s rear guard were .finally .discovered, on a hill, in the'edge of the townl Theoarbineers gave them *a few scattering shots, and then charged, sword in.- : band. Over the crest of t-ho hill the eneniy, at least 100 Btrong, were drawn up to receive us, and gave' our advance a volley, checking for a momont the charge. Their volley was responded to, and tho enemy commenced to. retreat, followed by our oavalry, who made two ooptures. On the appear ance of two flanking companies, ordered up by Coi. Tompkins, of Fairfax ; Court House renown, now of the Ist Vermont Cavalry, the, enemy re treated in baste and disorder. One of tbo Vermont boys was shot through the bead and died an hour afterwards. Another was slightly wounded,'and" two horses wore shot, one of whioh was subse quently killed; The result on the enemy’s side is unknown, but trails of blood indicated the direc tion oftheirretreat. , The. object of the reconr.oissanee having - been aooomplished, and valuable information obtained, pursuit was stopped, and the command returned last night to camp, thtogroater portion of which had . performed’ a march of. sixty niiles’jn'two. Sajs through-mountain posses sad over muddy roads. The accidental discharge of a pistol on the .re turn slightly wounded Lieutenant Colonel Fille hrown, (10th Maine Infantry,) in the leg. First Sergeant o: Co. K, same regiment, was shot dead on the route, by the accidental discharge of a mus ket. He was highly esteemed as a man and soldier, and died pending, appointment to a lieutenanoy. A portion of Gen. Geary’s command, by a reoon noissanee, are said to have discovered a body of re bel artillery and infantry in Big Fort Valley, south of ihe North Fork,- and within a few miles of Mid dletown. ..... ...... A report last night via Washington, that General . McClellan had-’entered Richmond, caused a great jubilation in the army. The citizens are in'agohy to learn the details of Jackson’s “ victory,” as they ..term it,.nearßichmond. Hundreds ofhismenand officers are from this region. . ‘ B. THE DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTHS Hilton Head, S. C., July 10,1862. ltctura to Hilton Head. . Since writing my last, in winch we informed you of the evacuatien of James'lsland, our brigade has been removed to ;this place. This is the second time that we have sojourned here; and since’ottf 5 fifstlanding, on the 7th of November, several tippy and important changes have occurred.' Then tho •place wasa mere sand-bank; our tents were pitched in the midst of it; and there was sand everywhere and in everything: there was, sand in tho soup, and sand iu the coffee; p and, the 'fitful: blast,' as, it brought the waves tossing and fretting up tho bench, at the same time filled tho air with the whirling, drifting sands, annoying; to us in the ex treme. Now, we say, there is quite a change for the better in" all things. : Hilton Head, that under tho indolent and effeminate control of Southern aris tocraoy was but a mere sandy beach, destitute of all "facilities for mating it even: a tolerable landing place for vessels.of .small size, has, suddenly, under hardy, energetic Northern enterprise, growwto ;be of the first importance’ as a great maritime port.; A beautiful prospeofmeets the gaze in alldireoV tions. - The smooth/ level plains are clothed with luxuriant verdure, capable of affording an ample. pasturage; and the, whole'scene, indeed, seems’to be dreaming of the great business mart, whoso teeming streets and busy thoroughfares must, in a very short time, occupy,the propitious: site. -/, Amongst the improvements of the growing place we must mention the large, beautiful, and very sub stantial dook that has, with much care and laboi, been ereeted. This is Borne four or five hundred: ■ yards in length, and affords' facilities to vessels of ' the -largest size, both in receiving and’ discharging freight, of which there is always a iargoamognti continually arriving and departing.' Next wo.may noilda I'eypral new/and substantial buildings—tho general' hospital,: the commissary or : quartermaster?; . department, the army bakery, besides a number-of large and substantial buildings; at preWnt'deyoted to the contrabands. In fact, the nucleus of a future . city is already formed, and only awaits, to be en larged by thrifty enterprise. ”-j . ; HEAVING JANES ISLAND. " Thus much for Hilton Head; but just now we re collect that we have not fully described our de parture from James Island. This was accomplish ed on the fourth of July. Early on the morning of that . day our . tents were struck, our. baggage se curely packed, and the whole transported by means of wagons to tie landing; There tho Bon De Bird, the Delaware, and other transports, awaited to,re-- drive 1 ~us; upon which, in the midst .of a /dasiing rain, with our goods and accoutrements, we were soon safely embarked. . Just as the booming cannon' with thunder tones shook earth, 1 and : sea, and air; ( . in honor of the glorious day, wo slowly dropped down to the mouth of the Stono, and our little fleet was soon out on the stormy billows. Our vessel, tho Bon De 3?ord,being a speedycraft, bare us steadily and safely to our destination at this place, where: we arrived at about six o’clock in . the evening, and slowly gliding up io the-pier, prepared to disem bark. This was finally accomplished, the rain still com ing down in torrents, while the wind blowing a per fect hurricane, and mingling its howl with the an gry roar of the sea, sent gloomy thoughts flitting, ever and anon, through many a bosom, as our armed ranks lay down to a fitful slumber amid the drenching fain.- 1 About .midnight, thanks to tho efforts of .‘Major D. A; Leokey, we were, aroused with the intelligence that more comfortable quar ters had been procured ; and, accordingly, the ..re giment was marched to a long building,‘used as a room for tho storage of flour by the quartermastor. A CASE OP BE) MIS, Here an ineidentooeurred, which marred to some degree the pleasure which our tired and battle worn soldiers experiencedg in. reaching comfdrtabl?. quarters upon that wet, dreary’ night. ' was nothing more nor less than the snarlish, snappish manner with which we wero roceivcd by aoertain knight of “ red tapeism,” who, giddy with his little amount of elevation, and ■ full of conceit as to his brief delegated power, uses it contrary to the in tent of the Government, to insult its weary, wet, and hungry soldiers! We will not designate him by name-.it is suffielant to our present purpose to refer to the incident—but if he ohanee to see this; article, he cannot fail to recognize the. description, and to know emphatioally.that we mean him. . . ; We feel .that the present war is a war of right against wrong—of liberty against slavery. We axe fighting for principle, and" the; straggle will never cease until our country has taken a higher, purer, and nobler position. In the great conflict we must discover and eliminate many-errors and inconsis tencies. There are men holding positions of influ ence and trust who are only preying on the ener gies of the Government, and enriching themselves amid its very agonies. ’We wish men of real/ earn est, working minds and hearts; men not easily turned this way or that way, by every empty foible; men who do not labor for sake of the honors alone, but who have the salvation of our common country ever in view. A NEW MOVEMENT, We ahali close our present letter by informing you. that' we are about to make another move, to some of-the adjacent islands.: We are going into summer quarters, until the hot months of July and August are over.

THE FUESIDBNT’S VISIT TO THE ARMY. '• The President’s -recent visit to the army was a most interesting event. He wont ail through the camp. His speech, which has been reported, was mado from the outer line of one of eur batteries, which the President scaled, in full sight of the rebel camp. . 7 : On the evening of the Presidenv’s departure, tlie east ern division of the army was attached by a rebel b'rigado, and for. twenty minutes the fighting was very severe, ending Itf,the-rapid retreat of the rebels. This is the last ot their attacks: and no rebels in force have been seen, it is Understood, since that time. • DANGERS ‘OF NAVIGATING THE JAMES ItIYEB. The dmcks of the rebels along the line of the - James river on our vessels are very frequent The’nature of the banks, which are often thickly wooded, and jut out in high bluffs,renders these operations comparatively safe and effective. A whole regiment could, in soma places, be stationed entirely out of sight, and within 1 a few rods of wher e vessels are obliged to pass. ' Guerillas, withrifies in their hands, are making the navigation'of the river very dangerous, of which the only remedy is to station armed vessels at the several points.; Captain CHIT, of the Haze, armed himself pre-r vlous to starling with some rebel guns and ammunition, but aa he was under convoy, had no use for them. * News fro hi Richmond Papers. PRICES OF PROVISIONS—GEN. MCCALL—A k6VE * MENT CONTEMPLATED—THE REBELS SICK OF THE WAR . The rebel army continue to be promptly paid in Con federate notes and shlnplasters,-but although not suffer ipgfromlackof food, are- not as-well provided as for merly.’ Tea and coffee are rarely seen, and kass'afras tea. is rised in lieu. Their medical department is badly pro-' vided with almost indispensable drugs, such, as quinine and morphine, and also with surgical instruments. In Bichmond, articles for domestic consumption continue attxbrbitant rates, and are more difficult than ever to * procure. Coffee, last week, was selling at from $2.50 to $3 per pound 5 sugar $1.50 a pound, and butter $1.50 to $175, Army shoes sold at $lO per pair, and' boots from' $25 to $6O per pair. . General McCall was at the Bpotswood House, in Rich- , mend, on Saturday loßt,and was suffering but slightly from his wound. . Some important movement is evidently contemplated by the rebel authorities. - A few day s' since a conference was belfff at which all the principal generals in the army were present,'"among others General Lee, who is now in chief command. .The main line of the rebel pickets extends ia a straight line from the White House through Tallysville to Ohßrles City Court-House. A few days since they occupied New Kent Court House, but have been driven thence by our cavalry, who not unfrequeatly send out scouting parties much nearer the FBmunky, as is proven by the captures reported. The rebels are sick of the s&rvice, and look forward anxiously for an early termination of the war. The ma jority of the Virginia soldiers will fight to the last, but consider themselves Union men, with the condition, how ever, .that, the “ invaders ” shall leave, and allow the South to have such rights as they may demand. Tire .Virginians say they will defend Richmond to the last, but if forcodto yield it, and tho Southern army is driven from their State, they can never be induced to accompany it beyond their boundary. It is gonorally believed that the recent battles have completely demolished McClellan’s army, and rendered it impossible for him to make another advanco. FEDERAL OFFICERS IN RICHMOND.

Let loyalty, and that alone, be the dividing line between the nation and its foes. Generals should not be permitted to fritter‘away the services of our brave men in guarding the property of traitors, driving b&ck into their hands loyal blacks, who ; offer us their labor, and who seek shelter beneath the Federal flag. -:, . - ~ . : .

The conservative policy has utterly failed to reduce themto obedience and restore the supremacy of the laws. They have by means of sweeping conscriptions gathered in,countless hordes, and threaten to beat-back and overwhelm the armies of tire Union. 1 Withblood and treason In their hearts, they, flaunt tbe black flag Of rebellion in the face of the Go vernment and .threaten to butcher our brave and loyal aimieswith foreign bayonets. "They arm negroes.ami merciless Bftvagcs in their behalf. Mr. Lincoln, the crisis demands greater 'efforts and sterner measures’. ■ Proclaim anew the good old motto of the'Republic, “Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable,” and accept the services of all legal* meiii arid it will be in your power to stamp armies out of the earth—irresistible armies, that will bear our banners to certain victory! . - • \ Illinois, already alive with . the.beat of the drum, and : resounding with the tread of new' recruits, will respond to i our.call.

Efforts to Capture our Mortar Vessels—New Devices to Frustrate the Design—Ship How itzers Masked Along Shore—The Rebels At tempt a Surprise') and are Repulsed—Gueril las—The Canal.. [Correspondence of the St. Louis Republican.} , o*'F YiCKSBUJtG, July 4.—Since yesterday morning, when our last mail left, the mortars have been thundering away at Bhorfc intervals, while occasionally rebel rifled re sponses are elicited. So feeble are the latter demonstra tions, that scarcity of ammunition must certainly causa if, Were their defences vigorous, our lower fie&t could not hold ils present position, the mortar vessels lyiog, as they do, within short, almost point blank, range • The rebels again, yesterday, made desperate efforts to capture the mortar vessels. Lying, almost within rifle shot ofiheir pickets, the source to them of so much an noyance, prove fatal temptations. Commodore, Porter, in taking this position, folly understood its danger, and resolved no surprise should oven for a moment relieve the daik record of rebel, reverses. Iu strong force through the. surrounding wood, it was easy for them at :any moment to buret forth, and a single act of negligence be fraught with disaster. Accordingly, the fleet narines, fifty in number, were transformed into a land force of pickets, under command of Master G. ‘W. Woedon, of the Octarora. Sentinels were stationed on a ice with the enemy, and a Quarter mile distant from the levee— some of their lower batteries little over rifle shot away. From one of the vessels a. large bell was taken, and, at the extreme picket station, hung up in a tree Any danger near was instantly told that sentiiiri, and the sentinel “ toll’d the bell.” ■. So a rebel surprise became impossible, though, to the uninitiated, apparently prac : ticable. - . Alopgtho shore are planted half a dozen ship howit zers,. behind bastily-comiructed works, and entirely masked. The most approved Yankee ingenuity, however, peeps out as usual. To each gun is attached a cable. Supposing seme largo and confident body of rebels rush upon the batteries, and eager hands grasp at the brass beauties to bear them off, Bailors on board whatever vessel lays opposite, possess ah excellent rope argument to the contrary, , and; just as treasonable hßnds approach each muzzle, a-sudden j&rk, and off they go shipward, until ;away from: danger. ' Night before last pur outer marine pickets became aware;of an enemy in their immediate vicinity. They could hear the - stealthy passage- of troops among the trecF, and at early morning, just a? day gave token of ap proach, the marines discovered rebel forces swarming to-; ward tt em. Instantly the brazen tongue gave its notea of alarm, the officer on the nearest s'ip. hastily sprung liis rattle, and as the enemy an instant after appeared, they were, precisely as on the day before, greeted with heavy discharges of grape. Broadside after broadside was poured rapidly into the woods, and From mastheads the rebels could be seen Scattering in every direction, thoroughly disorganized. They threw away some mus kets, which were afterward picked up, and the whole force of assailants had, been instantly changed to a panic stricken rabble. - v This is the second attempt of the kind, and throws even less credit on the Commander-in-chief than his sol diers. The attempts were miserably conceived and worse executed. . Every /vessel wrb twenty yards from Ehore, and could not be boarded, while it WB3 oasilyto he supposed that their guns‘ commanded the immediate vicinity. - If deserters’ stories are true, Generals Van Dorn and Smilb command'at Yickeburg,'and their army'of ten thousand men is the disorganized remnants of Shiloh and Corinth. All possible reinforcements are being-called in, and until this section of country is permanently occu pied by National troops, navigation by any but war ves sels will he impossible. Here, at Mobile, and along the river intervening, the shattered rebel aimy of the West is scattered. ; ~ At Grand Gulf and Elliß* Bluffs, below here, they are erecting batteries, while every thicket conceals guerilla parties. They care nothing for. their towns, and destroy ing them seems only to exasperate. In Vicksburg itself* several more bouses have been struck. Standing on the opposite bank, those who wish can watch the effect of every huge shell sb it falls. Stretching up the 'bluff** side, each deserted street is visible, and a solitary skulker may occasionally be seen peering around a corner. No flags fly except two hospital ones.At the canal, large numbers of negroes are still at work, though there is little prospect of its success. Flag Officer Davis has as yet done nothing with his fleet. The troops from New Orleans, under General'Wllliamß, remain encamped on tho Louisiana bank. . - Yesterday a planter : from “Banpan Island,” just above, and in sight, came to Flag Officer Davis and re quested aid. The day before, some villains living there, under the title of a vigilance committee, hung his mo ther, a woman eighty-three years of uge, for expressing ley at tho fleet’s arrival. One hundred and fifty soldiers on the steamer Champion were sent;back with- the' planter, and the murderers will be taken, if possible. ; Almanacs tell us this is the 4th of July, the day of American Independence. ; It finds us here, witnessing the bombardment of Vicksburg by two large,fleets, while a country, at first won, and now only held together by bloodshed, awaits anxiously for tidings from Richmond. Last night, at twelve, the incoming of our Republic’s birthday, all were awakened bythe mortars, from which a solute of thirteen two-bundred-and-twenty-fonr-pdund complements wero thundered. This morning the fleet Will duly celehrote the day. That we are in the « sunny” Booth is evident. Locked in the river bend, and not a breath of air Btirring, we. seem baking.. Visions of re viving; drinks and other method of city cooling haunt us like memories of the past. The rebels are repotted to be erecting batteries just below our mortar, vessels. The railroad running from, this point to Monroe, Louisiana, is half destroyed, and its depot, opposite’ Vicksburg, was burned when we ap proached. .. I append the act creating the rebel Partisan Rangers: Section 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That the President be, and he U hereby* authorized to commission such officers as ho may deem proper, with authority to form bauds of Partisan Bangers, in companies,, battalions,. or. regiments, to be composed each of sneh numbers as the President may approve.' i r : —■; .•-.

LATE SOUTHERN NEWS. - Reported Recapture of Baton Rouge—Rebel Accounts of McClelland Array—From Ifew Orleans. Copies of the Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday last, and the Petersburg Express, of Thursday, have been. iec*ived. We append ih9 only.important nowa 'printed, in their columns: , ; \ Mobile, July B.— Passengers by . the fiag-of-truce steamer Natchez, from New Orleans, report that Baton. Rouge baa been taken by General Van Bom, and that he captured fifteen hundred prisoners. [From the Petersburg Express, 10th Inst } A gentleman wbo came up yesterday states that so far as can be discovered by observation on the south bank cf the James river, no important movements have taken place in McClelland army during the past three or four. days. ; Many of,the wagons have disappeared from view, and have- been extended up the bank'of the river almost to the very doors of the family mansion at Berkeley; ..By the smoko of the camp-fires Tuesday evening, it was generally supposed that the enemy had advanced somewhat from: the immediate banks of the different water* courses by which he was at first almost completely surrounded. It i 6 positively known that heavy reinforcements have reached the Yankee Mc- Clellan, and it is believed, that his army now numbers nearly or quite ICO,OOO men. I&rVNVe h ave reason to believe that an important movement has been made by a portion oF ourforces; buttbe par ticulars will be known in a few days, and we refrain, for manifest good reasons, from giving them here. In this connection, we subjoin an article from the Enquirer, of yesterday, entitled 44 The Situation.” : The movements of our army for the past few days have, been eutirelystrategical. No fighHnc of import ance has transpired; and, at least for some days, so far ■ os. our; advices indicate, none need be expected It :is sufficient for us io know, first, that McClellan has been defeated hstore Bichmond, and, second, that his imme diate plana in changing his front have been frustrated through tfao superior ability of our generals. It will re quire anherculean effort for him to retrieve hta fallen fortunes, an effort which will require time, patience, and increasing energy. It is considered a physical impossi bility for him to recruit hisavroyin time for an early and earnest resumption of his “on to Richmond 5 ’ march. His status , at present, though not an idle one, is. not, and; cannot be, as active as our own. At..no period in the history of the war has the Confede rate Government manifested a more dashing and ener getic spirit than that which is now permitted to inspire thetoommandere of our army, although that old tempta tion,** foreign'interference, 15 looms up even more bril liantly and seductively than ever. The war has at length become- an earnest one, the Confederate Government, has 'csftßecbsll parley with the rest of the world, and, relying upon right ,and ber own resources, ia determined to pur sue, it to the bitter end. It would, be imprudent to pub lish the movements .which are now being made by our army. The public must bo satisfied -that they are wise, practical, and essential to the success of the struggle. > Up to 8 o’clock last evening our pickets had brought up no prisoners, : the first day they • have failed to do, sa since McClellan's forces reached Berkeley. We presume the vigilance of McClellan's, river guard has been re doubled, and the poor creatures who are so anxious to leave the Yankee service, find it a somewhat hazardous undertaking. As soon as the bright moonlight nights we are now having shall have passed away, desertions , will ddufctlesß be numerous.; . , ’ . Bichmond, July 9 —As' usuaV Madsm Rumor was. busy to-day circulating reports of fighting yesterday!- Up to twelve o’clock to-day no engagement had oc curred .Ten thousand Yankees , reached Mon day.' •. . We learn from a gentleman who left: Harrisonburg on Saturday, that Gen. Bobinson, with, a large body of cavalry, still held the enemy in check, and that all was quiet in .the vicinity. In a recent scout in Brady coun ty, of Borne four companies of cavalry (the results of which have already been briefly stated by telegraph,) our men near,- several wagons ; and horses, twelve mules, a whole company of infantry, nrimberiDg eighty odd men, and above one hundred En field rifles.; The prisoners were, paroled, except the offi cers, and the captured property taken to Harrisonburg. . Our in the vicinity of Charles Oily Court House, which Is reported to be held by the enemyj were driven in,’oh Monday, by a heavy-advance from the Federal lines.

The New Orleans “We are in ; possession of Mobile papers of the —th; containing a series of tele grams from Bichmond and other points. The substance of there despatches is that McClellan has been defeated. We reproduce tbeee telegrams, beearise versions of them are in the hands of speculators, who are imposing upon the public, but we do. not believe them. If they are true, all that will be gained by a repulse of the Union amy will be a prolongation of the struggle.” - The Picayune copies from the Delta with this heading : . “We have roceived the following note from General Bntler: .; .: “ Editors of the Pic avtjxe—Gentlejisn ; You have had; in your office an extra which set right alfthe news from Bichmond down to July 23d. ; Why desire to pub lish false intelligence, as the reliable man lies about the battle, of June 30th.

Marsh,residing in Frank lin, .Mass., aged only , five years, was thrown into the river by a young fiend, named Shcau, only ten years of age. The mother missed. - him, and was assisted in her. search by £bean, who, on the discovery of the body, al leged that tlie child-fell Into the water accidentally. Marks or violence were found, however, and Shean was arrested, and confessed that be killed the child and flung him into the water., The funeral took place from the Town Hall, and during the ceremony Shean was brought in. Mrs. Marsh saw hlmj.and beckoned him to approach - her. As he was led up to her, she put ber arms arouad; hiß neck in the most tender; way, and exclaimed, “I forgive y ou, Daniel, for killing my dear litUe Sammy, who Is now an angel m heaven; and I pray to God to forgive you, too,"and make you a good boy.

To the Editor of The Tress Sib : As y our valuable paper circulates through out the State, and In order to relievo the minds of many anxious parents, wives, and friends, who are daily pressing upon my time for information as to the fate of their beloved ones, I take the liberty of enclosing you a statement of the casualties to the 3d Regiment, Pennsylvania Reserves, during the trying scenes through which we have just passed— asking for it an insertion in your next issue. X 6 will be borne in mind that while we held our ground in every battle, and against vastly superior num bers, fully sustained the dignity of the Army of the .Potomac ; that in order to.. accomplish the great design, and gain our present position, we .were obliged to abandon our killed and wounded to the enemy, but not without being cared for, as my most excellent surgeon, James Collins, and several other distinguished physicians, were left with them, to dress their wounds and care for their wants. Among other painful events, during-the battle of June 30tb, was the loss of our brave Brig. Gen. Q-. G. Meade, who was severely wounded. He was-al ways present with his troops, and with kind words cheered them on to deeds of valor. There was not a general in the army who eared more for the wel fare of his troops than did General Meade, and not one so much missed by his cemmand.
