The siege of Vicksburg continues, and bids fair to bo as long and uninteresting as the aiege of Island No. 10. The point cannot be taken except with the co-operation of a land force, and when Gen. Hal leok will conclude to turn his attention in that: direction none can telL It seems to me that our true policy is to clean out the Mississippi river, and establish peaceable and constant intercourse with New Orleans.‘ Then lot us work east from the river until we get to the Atlantic shore. EXCITEMENT ABOUT RICHHONB The town is in a State of feverish excitement about Richmond. The Secessionists are assured by their friends that the entire Fedora! army is captured or routed. We, on the other hand, are informed that McClellan has simply changed his base of opera tions. If you are as much in doubt as we are to which side tho advantage of this terrible battle in clines, it may be interesting to you, as It is consoling to us, to know that Gen. Halleok and Geh, Grant : both consider it a- great success for McClellau. That he should accomplish the change of front at all, with so powerful and vigilant an enemy watching him every moment, is a marvel. The loss of life is terrible, but without that no advan tage can be gained in war, and the two authorities above named think that if the movement had not succeeded, the whole army and all its transports and provisions would have been overwhelmed and destroyed. Still there has been a terrible blunder somewhere. POLICE MATTERS The local police matters of this city excite consi derable attention hero, and some of the items may be of interest to you. One Galloway, who was postmaster hero before the war broke out, de frauded his venerable Uncle Sam of something like thirty thousand dollars, which sum, with lawful in terest, the said Galloway and his sureties are at this moment duly holden and bound to pay. < Said Gal loway was a facetious rogue, and when the Post master General wrote him, saying that he was in arrears' to his unole aforesaid twelve thousand dollars, said Galloway po litely informed that respectable functionary that he lied—it was fourteen. Whereat red-tape was considerably startled, but soon recovered pre sence of mind enough to intimate to this merry joker that it would be expedient for him to pay up, to which intimation said Galloway (funny fellow) responded that he was poor, and had no house to live in; that he had about concluded to build him a nice house, and as for their fourteen thousand dollars, the department mighf go to the town pump and take its pay out of the nose, or they might write by return mail and he would tell them when to write ; again. Gailoway was sharp, too. He did not give any of his money to the (3. S. A. Not he. HoUuilt him a Im>, large house with a portion of it, and the balance he salted down, and continued his functions as postmaster of the C. S., selling the peaked physiog of J eg; Davis, where he had before sold the jolly rubicund visage of Ben jamin Franklin. MEMPHIS BOCALS. Now, in the course of events, it caine to pass that the myrmidbms of : our father Abraham, came in great galleys one fine morning and captured the Egyptian city, even Memphis, and placed au armed guard at the street corners thereof, and raised a striped banner oyer the post office thereof, render ing the same no longer a safe place for the faoe tious Galloway to'crack his jokes in, and he ran: from the sacred emblem as the devil runs from the holy oroß3, and. skedaddled to the sunny South. But his.spouse, being filled with the unholy ghost, remained ‘behind; like Lot’s wife, she craved the things that had been hers. So Galloway’s frau re mained and pursued the avocation of the partner of her bosom. It was suspected.' that she was the means through which letters passed to and from Dixie, and one morning a Seoesh soldier.called on her and offered to earry a mail and bring one back. Galloway’s fran, eager to. serve her bleeding coun try, fell into the trap, and the result was that in a few hours: the provost marshal sent some myrmi dons around who took possession of the twenty thousand-dollar.house, together with. all appurte nances thereto belonging, and. Galloway’s fran found, to her infinite surprise, that her pleasant neighbor, Col. Hillyer, at whom she had been laughing in her sleeve for some two weeks, had put her nose out of joint. . While the guard was at the house several ladle,', drove up, in their" fine carriages, to mail letterss and they were detained until Galloway’s fran had packed up her duds and been taken in a carriage outside our pickets and-quietly set down in her beloved Dixie. : And now" all Seceshdom is howl ing at the unmanly and brutal outrage. Colonel Hillyer occupies the Galloway mansion. seoesh news,. .From the letters taken we obtained a variety of interesting particulars. McClellan and his whole army had capitulated and were prisoners of war. The Confederate army was going to be in Wash ington in ten days, Baltimore in fifteenj Philadel phia.in twenty, New York and Boston in forty; in aii oases, the time set being less than it. would actually take them if no obstacles intervened. The prospects of the Confederacy were brighter; and before another moon had waxed and waned their beloved Memphis was to be rescued "from the hands of the bloody vandals. The persistent and extravagant self-deception of the rebels would be creditable to a lunatic asyinm. Casco. COMMUNICATION WITU" KEBELS. MEMPHIS: July 11; 1862. It has been found impossible to prevent com munications with the enemy so long as so many rebel sympathizers remain in the pity, and General Grant has, therefore, issued the following order: Special Order No. 11. District of West Tbxxessee, . ) Office of the Provost 'Marshal Qexbbal, V : Memphis, Tenn., July 10,1802. ) The constant communication between the so-called Confederate army, and their friends and sympathisers in the city, of Memphis, despite the orders heretofore issued and. the efforts to enforce them, has induced the issuing of the following order: mauw,g -- - . Hi© families dovt residiegin tkTcity of ‘Memphis,of the following persons, are required to move South beyond onr lines -within five days from the date hereof: Ist. All persons holding commissions in the so-called Confederate army, or who have voluntarily enlisted !a said army, or who accompany and are connected with the same. 2d. All persons holding office under or In the employ of the eo-called Confederate Government. 3d. All persons holding State, county, or municipal offices, who claim allegiance to the said so-called Con federate Gcvernment, and who have abandoned thoir families and gene South. Safe conduct /will be given to the parties hereby re quired to leave, upon application to the provost mauhal of Memphis. By command of Major General G. S. Grant WILLIAM S. HILLYER, Provost Marshal General. This order has at first the appearance of great severity, and will undoubtedly cause, a howling as well as a scattering among the rebels. Brutality, tyranny, and ferocity will be laid to oar . charge" .with more than ordinary glibness, and the Southern heart wlll again be fired. Bat the offect of the order will be to reduce very largely the force of guards and detectives which is now found neoes sary to protect us against the continual machina tions of rebel spies. The Secessionists who remain will also be . more careful " what they say and,do to insult the loyal sentiment of the city. The aristocratic Seeesh are as overbearing and in solent as though they, not we, were the masters ; and Union people, so far from believing in con ciliation, are indignant that the severest measures are not taken by our authorities. They, want re prisals ; they want the rebels treated with as great severity as they were themselves during the reign of terror. They forget that there is a va3t dif ference between the conscious strength of the Federal Government and the imbecility and des peration of the Confederate. The cno can afford to forbear and bo generous, and the other has to resort to any measures to keep : its head . above water. Casco. PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, JULY IT, 1863. LETTER FROM NASHVILLE.

During the lastfew days, a greatdeal of ijoicing has been perceptible among the Secessionist!, and a fooling of gloom pervades the loyal pnblil The Union men here entertain apprehensions tiat the young genoralin command of tho Army of tho Po tomac has at least been temporarily Subjected, to disaster. .The rebels argue that MeOSctlau has been awfully defeated, if not annihilated- jrad tho more bold traitors feel sanguine that thb city will be occupiod by rebel troops in less than me'month. I think I state facts when I inform you that Gen. Beauregard, with a large force, is at Chattanooga. There is certainly no mistake about this jajscrtitfn. Largo numbers of people, governed by ip motives other than the perpetuation, of tho:U>iqb, have arrived here from Stevenson and ethtf localities near Chattanooga, and all agree that tho famous .creole commands the rebel forces atlthat point. The military men here, I understand, ljivo abun-, dant proof that such is the ease. •It is; generally .believed that the rebel army_.»t- °Mp.tahooga amounts to about leriy'tnbusafid men. ; The . military operations of the past/few days" bave been conducted with great secrecy and ac tivity in these precincts, and it would bir deemed 1 imprudent by the editor of The Pres to allow minnto remarks upon tho subject. The most the citizens of Nashville am tho sur rounding country have.to fear at presofeor in the future are the guerillas, who arc becoming alarm ingly numerous, and infest ail theneigijsorhoodsin this section of the State. Many of our brothers in the army havo been most brutally in Middle Tennessee of late. Those soldierireturning to Buell’s army from home remain her* Jintil some; hundreds are congregated, Col. MiUej/imsidering it unsafe to send men South In small bodies. . Among some of the sad acts which'have lately transpired in this locality, I will enumcrato thofoi lowing: . \ j:( ; ' • At Mt. Pleasant, a small town ten miles south of Columbia, Lieut. Col. Poster one day list week was the victim of an attempted assassination and nar rowly escaped a shooking death. Ho Has shot in the head and both arms, the affair being- witnessed by dozens of people, who have been l airested, and dismissed without subscribing to tbo okh of alle giance. This is the fourth attempt at mirdar lately in the .village of Mount Pleasant. : ■ ,At Columbia, more than fifty of ourj brave sol diers have been murdered since the occupation of Nashville. The people of that town, asl remarked to you in a letter from that place in March last, are treacherous and disloyal, yet inriho oppyinont of all those privileges which many good .Unhm peo ple deserve but know not of. At Shelby ville, last week, two of our pickets were murdered while on guard duty, but no mur derers were found. ■ j I visited. SheibyviUo yesterday, and found it to bo, as I have always heard It-was, the stamchest little Union town in the State. ‘lt is:the capital of Bedford county, sixty-thfee miles east of this city. It is about six miles off from the‘regular railroad to Chattanooga. . A small stream .passes; the, town; called Duck creek. There are two hotels, two churches, and a bank thoro. The place formerly contained nearly two thousand inhabitants; but has been somewhat thinned out by the ravages of the war. Companies A, D, 0, and I, 7th Pennsylvania Cavalry, hold the place. At Murfreesboro, upon the Chattanooga and Nash ville Railroad, a terrible affair occurred last Sun day evening. A portion of an infantry regiment and Companies B. G, M, and N, of the Pennsylva* nia 7th cavalry, Col. Wynkoop, are on duty there a portion of whom wore . attacked by some reba‘. cavalry upon the evening above mentioned. The attack was made upon some of the Pennsylvanians who were on vedette duty, and three were killed and three wounded, This town, if you recollect, is where it was ex pected the skedaddling army would make a stand, subsequent to the fall of Donelson. It is the capi tal of Butberfoid county, between thirty and thirty-five miles southeast; from this city, situated on a small branch of Stone river. The position of the town is commanding, and its suburbs pictu resque. It contains three churches—one Baptist, one Methodist, and one Presbyterian.. Murfrees boro was formerly the capital of the" State, and contains a fine college, which is not in operation, however, at present. It was founded in ISIS, and is under the. direotien of the Baptists. In its palmy days it had a president, five instructors, fifteen .alumni, nearly two hundred students) and one thousand volumes in its libraries. .The publio buildings, and many of the private residences, are neatly built of brick. The town contains over two thousand inhabitants. "" ' •.. News was received in town, yesterday afternoon, "that fivo companies of the Pennsylvania 9th Ca valry had been massacred by about fifteen hundred rebel cavalry, under Stearns, at. Tompkinsvllie, Ky. The fact was telegraphed to this "city by General Boyle, military governor of Kentucky. From what I could learn of the affair, they were attacked night before last, and cried for quarter, upon perceiving the strength of tne enemy, but received" none, the rebels absolutely murdering nearly all of them. The rebel., were from Bast Tennessee, by way of Sparta, probably.. Tompkins villo is a small town, about fifty miles southeast of Bowling Green. The 11th Michigan,. Colonel Stoughton, left this oity last evening for Bowling Green/;. On Monday evening last, as some of the Penn sylvania Cavalry were proceeding to Franklin with messages, "they wero fired upon nine .times, but escaped injury. . - Last evening, a sutler of. one of the Michigan regiments was found dead upon the Franklin road; only a few miles from this city. Upon the Huntsville road many brutal acts have occurred, characteristic of the demoniac manner o£ the rebels. These guerilla bands and ruffians are on the increase, and. the lives’'of Union people, as well as our soldiers, are in great peril.. -: ' It is known in this city that indescribably atro cions acts have been committed at. Atlanta, Ga., resulting in the death of more than fifty of our men. ‘ the rnovosi KAmsirAL and “the oath.’! In connection with the duties of a provost mar shal there are probably more desultory incidents transpiring than In any other official organization of the War Department. ' At the provost marshal’s office in thiscity a mul tiplicity of scenes daily occur, highly .illustrative of “rebel nature I cannot say human nature. ‘ Ex-Congressman Lewis D. Campbell, oolonei of. the : Sixty-ninth" Ohio Begiment, at present ' dis charges the onerous duties of provost marshal of Nashville; and. besides being an honorable and high-toned man, possesses an adequate amount'of shrewdness and calculation to, surmount the divers schemes and skiliul manoeuvrings of “rebels in need.” For instance: , Enter middle-aged lady, say fair, fat, and forty, and exquisitely got up, very probably for the occa sion. With more urbanity than dignity, she ad vances to the functionary, and something after the following takes placo: Lady. Ah, Colonel. Colonel. Well, madam? , Lady. Colonel, (with smiles,) I’ve called to beg a favor. I know yon will grant it to me—(more, smiles)—because, sir, I rogard you,: as" oho who would desire to grantafavor—(inoreased smiling)—, not inconsistent with your calling, especially as 1; have never done anything reproachful, and would fully appreciate your kind— - Colonel. Well, madam? Lady. Well, Colonel, I’ve called, to see If you would be kind enough to permit my son to go to Murfreesboro to look after his farm at that point. You are probably not aware that he lately returned home from the Southern army, sick. He never fought a battle, and, to his knowledge, never killed a man ; but was compelled, on his return, to give a bond for ten .thousand dollars for his subsequent good conduct'.' . Now, I know you will permit him to visit his farm—will you not ? Colenel. Well, madam, did I understand you to say tha t he belongs to the Southern army ? Lady. Virtually, Colonel. . . Colonel... Bat never fought a battle ? Lady. . Never, sir, to my knowledge. : Colonel. And never killed a man—to hie know ledge? Lady. Not to my knowledge, Colonel. , Colonel. I understand you to say that ho return ed home. Lady. Upon siek leave, Colonel. . Colonel. Madam, I would have rather seen him return m any other condition! lady. But', sir, ho will do no harm, and bonds for ten thousand dollars should permit him to enjoy a little freedom) (not so smiling,) and.l hope you Will grant me that favor. . Colonel. Well, madam, let me ask you one ques tion: Did you ever consult with your son as to the necessity, or at least the policy, of subscribing to the oath of allegiance? Lady. Well, Colonel, I—l believe I have never spoken to him upon the subject . Colonel. T Till he taM the.oath fif allegiance ? Lady. Colonel, I am afraid he would object from conscientious scruples. Colonel. He would object from /conscientious scruples? Lady. I am afraid, Colonel, that lie would Colonel. Then your sou cannot go to Murfrees boro. Lady. But— Colonel. Your son cannot go to Murfreesboro with my permission! Lady. But, Colonel, my husband— Colonel. Has he taken the oath of aliogiance ? Lady. -No, sir. Colonel. Then I can grant you no favor, madam. I consider it to be my imperative duty to grant no favors to those who sympathize with the rebellion to that extent. Bub you can appeal to Gen. Dumont. I cannot serve you. Exit lady, with more dignity than urbanity. Here is another instance: Enter gentleman, remarkably gonial. Gentleman. Colonel, I’m going to Louisville, and I, desire an order permitting mo to bring down a few necessary articles, such as salt, coffee, tea, &a.' Colonel. In largo quantities, sir? Gentleman. Oh, no, Colonel, I just want to get enough for family use for a few months— say it bar rel of salt, a bag of coffee, and other articles ia the same proportion. Colonel. Well, sir, I guess you can do so. You are a Union man, no doubt ? Gentleman.. Well, Colonel, I consider myself something of a Union man. I always opposed Secession, and voted for the Union until my State j went out, and then, of course, I had no altbrnativo but to acquiesce, and couple myself with its -'destiny.': ‘ - . Colonel. Well, sir, your State is in the Union, ■now.- ■ ■ 1 have rela- tives would be with them. Coidnel. You have not taken the oath of alle giance, then, sir ? Gentleman. Well, no, Colonel. I have always considered myself a Union man at heart, and deem ed it unnecessary to take the oath. Colonel, Really, Ido not know how I can favor yon under the circumstances. Will yon take the oath of allegiance? ‘ Gentleman. : Well, sir, I’d r-a-t-h-e-r not at this' time. Colonel. Then, sir, I should transgross my duty by granting you such a favor. Exit gentleman, not so remarkably genial. I tell you, the oath of allegiance is a “tickler” with some of these Southern gentlemen. Numbers, however, take the bath of alleglaneo every day. Some do it like a man, while others reply to that awful question of tho provost mar shal : “Well, Colonel, I’d rather not, but if I must, why, I suppose”—and they go on supposing until tho Colonel hands them the document, whioh they sigif with as much aversion, nearly, as they would their death warrant, and look ns doleful as an old maid on tho last day of a leap year. I have seen some loquacious gentlemen enter the provost marshal's office, and become absolutely speechless when the momentous question fell upon their ears.; 0, how I deteat sneh small souls! I should make a bad provost marshal, for I aheuld certainly eject such persons in anungentlemanly manner, especially if 1 had my boots on. ANECDOTE OP COLONEL HYMEN. This morning I saw a letter from Colonel Adol phus Hymen, a Prussian by birth and education, but a citizen of this county. H 8 ia a bachelor, and owns a fine residence a short distance from the city. He joined tho army of tho traitors at the commenoe ment of the rebellion, and was taken prisoner at Dort Donelson, Ho is at present an Inmate of a celebrated institution in Boston harbor. He writes a very cheerful epiatlo, and remarks that Port Warren’s surroundings remind him of a vast water ing place, but adds, “Where, oh where, are the ladies?” I will tell you an anecdote of the gay Prussian, never published: / ,v He hold; a insjor’s position at Port Henry, and was present when General .Tilghman surrendered. Approaching the General, he addressed him thus: “General, you must exeuso me, but I swear I will not be taken prisoner when I see a chance to escape.”: General.Tilghman, But, Major,'l have made an unconditional surrender, and it would bo a gros3 act to commit, and entirely against the rules which govern war. I protest against your going. But Hymen had made up his mind to go, and go ho did. 1 He did not go far enough, however, for when Donelson fell the gay Prussian was again in a di lemma. This time he made no effort to escape, but marched boldly up to the officer in command, con fessed his guilt, stating that he was in such a harry that he' could not at that rime stqp to excuse him self.' The officer whom ho addressed wittily replied, “ You have ample time for excuses now.” And I guess by this time Colonel Hymea “ dinks zo du.” COL, GEORGE W. WYHCOOP, OP PENNSYLVANIA. One of the most good-natarad, clever, sociable gentlemen 1 have become acquainted with of late is Col. 'Wyncoop, of the 7th - Pennsylvania Cavalry. He is a resident of Pottsvilie, and the father of thirteen children. He was in the three-months service, and held the position of general at that time. He is now colonel of one of the finest cavalry regiments in the field, and ono which has seen con siderable service. The regiment eonsists-of twelve companies, their disposition at present being as fol lows : Companies A, D, F,and I, at, Shelbyvilla; Companies B, G, M, and N, at Murfreesboro; Com panies C and L, at Lebanon ; Company E, at Gala tin, and Company H, at Franklin. illness op governor: JOHNSON Governor Johnson has. been. indisposed for the last two days, bat attends to all special -business at his residence. Ho one dan fully appreciate the giant labors of this sterling patriot. From morning until night he pursues his ,onerous duties, with but one' restoration of the'Union and the laws. THE “ CONSTITUTION,’tANB OTHER NEWSPAPERS; It is a pleasant duty for me to state that Mr. George Baber’s new paper, The Constitution,'U a high-toned Union journal, containing excellent ar ticles editorially daily., The make-up of the paper is good, the whole affair constituting a readable and well-conducted Union paper. . • The Union, edited by Mr. Mercer, is an: out spoken, uneonditionally Union paper, appearing every morning with bold editorials and seleot ex tracts. - - : The Dispatch is also a fine-looking newspaper, ably edited by Mr. Smith; probably the best: jour nalist in (he city. One of the features of the Dispatch is its local department. All three of the papers are Union in sentiment, the Dispatch, however, being more tame than the Union md ikp Constitution. The circulation of these papers averages about two. thousand each, daily. I am informed that the weekly edition of the Union is very large and on tlio increase. Each paper is published by an association of jour neymen printers. .7 the' lames .now and "the;; ladies then;;'"" ’ “ How divine a thiog : A woman map bo made.” Well, that is so. I can assure you: that there has been a great change in the style of the ladies since my last visit to Nashville. Then they were all Secessionists, but now many a fair damsel may he seen leaning upon the arm of a United States officer. One lady im particular, who, a month ago, upon perceiving the approach of a Federal officer, would bound to her piano, and rattle off the tune of Dixie, I saw in.oompany with a-Yankee hireling at the Capitol on the 4th of July, and I do declare that she exhibited more than friendship for this same vandal. B. C. T. FROM GEN. POPE’S DEPARTMENT. [Sredal Correspondence of The Press.] . : Warrbnton, Ya,, July, 15,15G2. If any one doubts the wonderful effects produced in the different corps of Generals Sigel, Banks, and McDowell by the appointment of Major Gene ral John A. Pope to the chief oommand, he should visit the army, and I am sure he will be convinced that ho was mistaken. The reason why this por tion cf Virginia had not been cleared of rebels long ago was because there wore too many commanders, each being Mb own master. : , Eaob general had his own plan, and through the wrangling of these commanders no single plan was carried out, and no 00-operation existed between them. But; since General Pope has been placed in supreme command this has entirely disappeared, and now everything, moves on smoothly, and the soldiers have:-the fullest confidence that they will be led on to victory.. From the moment of the as suming, of.the command by General Pope, the, work of regeneration commenced, and what was before but little more than a disorganised .rab ble, has now become one of the largest ,and finest armies of the Republic. The soldiers have been placed under the strictest discipline, and con fidence has boon again restored into the . ranks. They have; moreover, been moved to a safer base of Operation, and to a point which will allow them to pierce sooner the eentro of the rebellion in Vir ginia.’ POPE’S ADDRESS TO MS. SOLDIERS. : I have teen an advance copy of General Popo’s address to his soldiers. It is short and to the point. The expressed intention that, instead of fortifying and awaiting the altnek of the rebels, he proposes to attack them in true Western style, will raise the troops to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, and spur them on to deeds of noble daring. The force assembled under: Gen. Pope is now larger than ever seen before in this section of coun try, with the exception of the Army of the Potomao, and they are anxious to be led against tho rebels by just such leaders as Pope, Banks, Sigel, and a host of others. TIIE ARTILLEBV AND CAVALRY. The splendid train of artillery and large amount of fine cavalry is the themo of all praise. Never were seen such guns before in this army, and I think that, in proportion to its size, it has.more fine guns than any. other army corps now battling for the Union. General Hatch, the present aceom piished chief of cavalry in Banks’ corps d'armee will, it is expected, have charge of all the cavalry m Pope’s army. It is not known who will have charge of tho artillery. THE TOWN 03? WARRENTON The town of Wnrrcnton, now,, occupied by our forces, Is over fifty miles from Washington. It is not so large as Winchester, yet it is far prettier. It had about three thousand inhabitants .before tbo war commenced, but it has now not over two thou sand. The houses arc neatly built, with beautiful gardens in the front and rear of them. It has also a.large town hall, several largo and boat churches, and two hotels. The citizens are to a man in favor of Secession, but they take good care notto express «Dy obnoxious sentiments. The women are even more hostile than those of Winchester, and they take particular pains that none of their garments even touch one of Lincoln’s hirelings. They inva riably refuse to board any officers, and if compelled to do so, they act in such a manner as will mo3t in convenience their guests. Not even siek officers and soldiers fare any better. An instance of this occurred on Friday last: A staff officer who was very siek wa3 driven into town, he intending, to seek boarding in some private family, where he ex pended he would.reeeivo better attention : than by going to tho hotels. Every house refused him ad mission, and evensome of.tho “ladies” and: “gea-- walked into er a hurried manner, for fear of having to talk to~ the officer. The officer, at last, was obliged to go to the hotel, where he is at.present stopping. Brigadier General Hartsnff is military commander of the post, and Capt, Bates, of-, the 12th Massa chusetts .Regiment, is provost marshal of tho plaoo. Capt. B, is an efficient officer, and preserves the best of order. THE ADVANCE OF OUR FORCES. Our forces are expected to advance shortly, and ere this reaches you the most of the army may be on its march. • A brigade of cavalry, under command of Gen. Hatch, started from SperryviUe on Saturday, for the purpose of going to Culpeper Court House, and as far south of that place as possible. Just before en tering Culpeper they were fired upon by a party of rebel cavalry, who were concealed in the woods. The Vermont cavalry regiment having had the ad vance, received the fire, and five men of them were wounded. Tho Vermontors,^ nothing daunted, ad vanced and fired a volley into tho rebels, who im mediately “ skedaddled” in the most approved style. The rebels also had a force of infantry, one of whom was killed, two wounded, and eleven taken prison ers by our men. Our forces then advanced into and oocupied the town without further opposition. Pickets were, thrown out, and everything made ready for the reception of the rebels if they would make an attack, but up to this time our troops have not been molested. LETTER FROM RICHMOND, Captain Bates informs me that letters have been received here direct from high rebel authority in Richmond, giving a doleful account of affairs in the rebel capital. The late battles, though they claim them as victories for their forces, axe ac knowledged to have been more bloody on their side than on ours; McClellan’s superior artillery having mowed them down by scores. They all ac knowledge that the said battles have so damaged the army that it is scarcely recognizable, bat they claim consolation in wbat they believe to be a fact, that McClellan’s army ia in the same condition. They all acknowledge that McClellan completely out-generalled and out-witted the rebel leaders, and that it would be sheer folly to attack “ Little Maok” in his present position. Tho letter also states that Jackson intends to make another visit northward, and that he expressed himself confident of being able to whip the whole Eederai army. The people also fear that the call for the three hundred thousand men by President Lincoln will be complied with, and If it is, they think the game of Secession is np. BUSHWHACKERS. Guerillas or bushwhackers, as they are called by seme, .have almost disappeared from this sectioil of country, although one or, two are captured JIOV~ and .then. They are closely confined, and it is probable that General Pope will deal with them in accordance with the heinousness of the erime.; • GENERAL. I>OPE. General Pope is still in Washington, although he is expected to reach here in a day or two and take -the field personally. General Sigel, who has been on a visit to 'Washington, has already returned, and taken his proper position. J. M. C. THE KENTUCKY RAID.

The Union'fbrces are amply sufficient for the defence of; the city, and a large additional cavalry force will be instantly despatchod in pursuit of Morgan. [From tbe uincionali Gazette of the 15ib,] Mayor Hatch received the following despatch at one o’clock this morning: “Lexingtos, Ky., July 14, “ I,have positive information from reliable eye-wit nesses of the fact, within the last three hours, that Mor gan has not retreated, but is at Yersaille, twelve miles distant, with the larger .part if not the whole of his forces. I would like to have all the men that c&u be sent. “W. J. WARD, /‘Brigadier General Commanding.” The company discharged last evening—also the force tendered by. Mr. Jacobi, and all others willing to goto Lexington—are requested to report at the mayor’s office this morning.^ From the Charleston Squadron—Chase of the Nashville. The. following is extracted from the correspondent of the New York Sun, dated on board the Charleston block ading squadron, July 7th: On,theaftemoon .of tho day an whioh mylast letter was dated the Keystone State returned from her ohase after the rebel steamer, which attempted to run the block-. tide bcroir' BlwjHruYeQ-fco I>o the notorious Nashville, ttiftt ran the blockade at Beaufort and Wilmington, N. C., before onr forces took charge of them. The chd3e was a most exciting ono, and I give it to your readers as it was related to me by one on board tho former vessel. . At daylight, says my informant, the two vessels were within three miles of each other, the Nashville having toe ad * vantage of the above distance ; the sea waa smootb, the weather pleasant and calm. Both vessels were very good sailers, and both did their best. The chase was : continued all day, the Nashville keeping her distance, and exhibiting good sailing Qualities. But lit last night came on, and the pursued, taking the' advantage of the darkness, altered her course,; and at daylight was no -where to be seen. -It isyery probable that she lias sailed for England. . - • • The English sloop-of-war Bacer arrived off hereon the 25th ult, and went up to Gharlestos on the 28th. It was rumored that the rebels were impressing English subjects into their army, and great foara were entertained that the rebels would burn the city, if our troops should approach, which, at last accounts, they wore doing rapidly. For these reasonsrand at the request of the English consult the Bacer went up to the city. • A new battery, mounting two guns, has beeß erected by the rebels on Sullivan’s Island, about two miles north of Fort Moultrie. TSie rebels‘amuse themselves with firing from their : forts and batteries daily, ©a the Ist instant a general salute : was fired from all their forts,, batteries, &c., both Inside and outride the harbor. We spent the glorious Fourth yety pleasantly. The national vessels 'were all gaily decorated . with flags, and fired a. national salute at 12 o’clock. For the last few days the weather has been beautiful. : The Union Meeting m New York—Gen. Fremont’s Speech. The following is a summary of Gen. Fremont’s forcible and stirring speech at the great New York Union meet-, ing, on Tuesday afternoon: , Gen. Fremont rose, amid deafening applause. He en . deavored several times to make himself heard, but it was quite Impossible for.him to do so, from fche ctieors thatthe twenty-five thousand in front of the platform uttered again and again ' Hats and pocket-bandkorchiefs were waved furiously, and amid the cries of “ Go it, old Path finder, yon are the general for us,” he said: It is hardly necessary to say-that tills. great assemblage has been called to consider the situation of the country, with the object of adopting such measures as will enable you to respend most immediately and most ef fectively to tbe President’s call for troops. But, at the. same lime, it is expected that this occasion will be used for such on expression of your feelings and ; opinions as will satisfy the couatry that the enthusiasm which characterised your meeting here last year, as n>w becomes you should be a settled resolve,‘and that it is not. in tbe ideas or possibilities of the day that you should consent to dismemberment of your national territory. [Loud cheers,’and cries of “Never.’’] The people rea lized that a decisive struggle, which wuuld tax their ut most energies, ie now to come, and that upon the issue of this struggle depends the life of the nation. [lmmense ' applause, j: The South has resolved itself into a great army, to the support of which all its industrial energies and. rcrourcea aie directed.; You, too, will find it neces sary to call into immediate activity your immense resources to meet the r emergency.

Panama, Monday, July 7,1862. A personal affair, tririal in itself, has been the means of bringing matters to a sharp point aa regards the con flict between the Federal and State authorities. A week ago a negro named Buiz entered a bar-room, and com menced discussing the political question of tho day— that is, the occupation of this capital by a national mili tary force. Senor Antonio Horro, to a remark of Buiz, replied : “I am a friend, politically, of Gen. Mosquera, and have proved ifc on more than one occasion. But I cannot approve his unnecessary occupation of the State of Panama.’’ ‘‘Hypocrite! canaille {’’-responded Buiz, ■which. ejaculations brought Mono - to" his feet and. Buiz back. Next day, Kuiz provided himself with and with half a dozen friends, armed witypstoTiand a shot gun, proceeded to the place of young Morro to got their revenge.. Morro drew a revolver, upon which the shot-gun man co vered him with his piece, and the former was forced to run to escape the blows of Buiz. v Everybody thought the apprehended outbreak had occurred—it was in the evening—and doors and windows were slammed, bolted, and even barricaded.* Nothing further* however, came of the affair that night, but things looked so squally next day that the * Governor armed an additional number of .police, but, not feeling himself secure in the attempt to arrest Buiz without tho assistance of Santa Colama, asked for a military force to apprehend the culprits. Col. S. replitd that he would detail a company of men to go outside tho city for that purpose* but if these were re sisted or fired upen by Buiz and liis friends, they would fall back upon fhe main force in the barracks. DEPARTURE OF THE GOVERNOR, The Governor looked upon the response as a refusal of assistance, and this, coupled with the fact that squads of persons had insulted himself end family.on the night be fort, from under their balcony, took the resolution that it is supposed be had since tho military occupation decided upen of transferring the State capital to Santiago, in the interior. So, on ihe night of the Ist of July, the Gover nor left a proclamation behind him to that effect, and, together with the Secretary of dtate and some other offi ctrrv secretly “slidout.” This, on becoming known next morning, caused very, great excitement, which the Prefect undertook to allay by assuring the people that the government of the city had been left in Ms hands, and do fears need be entertained of Colonel Santa Go loma and his men. ’ WHAT IS TO BE -THE END ? On the 2d Santa Coloma took possession of tbe State arsenal, in which were some arms and powder of the Government, and Quite a large amount of powder belong ing to merchants. It was found, however, that the Go vernor bad caused the locks to :be taken off all tbe mus kets he bad left behind. From the arsenal, Col. Santa Coloma went toft shep to which tbe Governor had Bent some small pieces of cannon to be repaired, bat the vroikmen had spiked them, it is said, at the command of bis Excellency. This latter fact is, I believe, liable to doubt. . All these movements amount to but little in themselves. But it is known thatthe Govomor has ten or twelve hun dred Mini© muskets at Santiago, with plenty of pswder and cartridges; and that the people of that part of the State are devotedly attached to him and the numerous branches of his family. It is said he can rrise two thou sand men, If necessary, with which to reinstate himself in Panama, and not a few believe he will do it. Of course, with these, be could easily chase out ihe Mosquera troops, but then, the partisans of the Provisional President here would not relish this, and so civil war in the State might ensue. We arewaiting the denouement, at least anch of us as have not run away—for many persons have fled the city. In tho. meantime, it is currently expected that Santa Coloma is to be reinforced by 800 men from Car thagena, but as be has not made public the despatches ho rectivedfrom there yesterday, this is only rumor.

[From tbe’Kew .York Exprass, Jnly 16 ] The British prize-steamer Ann, Acting Master L. H. Partridge, from Mobile, arrived at this port this morn ing. . On the 20tli of June, the United States steamer Kanawha cut this vessel but from under the guns of Fort Morgan, at the mouth of Mobtibßay. She had run in during the night—passing the blockading fleet. As it was a very dark night, she could not be Been by our ves sels. Lights had been kept burning on the fort all night so that she had no trouble in finding the channel. The next morning she was discovered . by the Susquehanna, within a half mile of the fort, unloading her cargo into a rebel steamer, alongside. The S, accompanied by the. Kanawha,then got uader weigh and steamed within gun shot and opened fire on the strange steamer. The fire was returned by the fort, and kept up for au hour on bolh sides. In the meantime the crew had the strange steamer, owing to the shells from our vesselH falling about her rather too thickly for safety. She was soon discovered to be adrift, and she drooped down with the current about a mile, when tho Kasawha was ordered to go in and bring her out, which Bhe did in fine style, under a heavy fire from tho fort. When she was boarded by Acting Master Partridge, from the Kanawha, she was found to be in a sinking condition, her injection pipe having been cut and the Kingston valve left open; the engine and fire-room were soon filled with water, but as she was built in four water-tight compartment?, and tlio communication between them not having been opened, only one compartment was filled. Through the persevering efforts of the officers of the Susquehanna and Kanawha, the leak was stopped and the water pumped out. She sailed from the mouth -of Mobile Bay oa the 4th inshi) and arrived at Key West 7th, where she lay two days, taking in coal and having some repairs made. At 5 o’clock on the flih, alter taking in the mails, she sailed for . this port. Her cargo consists of gunpowder, arms, cartridge-boxes, coffee, tea, paper, &c. - List or Officeus'in Charge —Acting Master L. H.

Parson Brownlow, the distinguished patriot of Bast Tennessee, was welcomed to our city yester day afternoon, and spoke last night inthe Court Bouse to a large and appreciative audience.; The /fighting parson” has nowhere met with a mors hearty 'reception. It is doubtful whether our spa cious court-room was evermore densely crowded ana the scene of 1 greater enthusiasm than on this occasion. The speaking was announced to com-- menoe at 8 o’clock, and long before tho arrival of that honr every available seat was occupied, and there was scarce an inch of standing room to be found. Scores were obliged to leave, dissatisfied and disappointed, not being able to get withia hearing distance of tho speaker’s voice. He entered the hali at ten minutes before eight accompanied by Dr. Wallace, John S. Richards’ and others, and was conducted to the stand amid loud cheering.and applause. He appeared hag gard and care-worn, but with a determined look characteristic of his invincible firmness and courage! His speech, was nearly two houfs in length, in which he feelingly related his experience in the hands of the “ Seecshthe barbarity exercised towards him and his fellow-prisoners while in jail; the per secution and cruel murder of many peaceable, inoffensive Union moD, whose only crime was their uncompromising support of the Constitution and laws of the United States. He spoke also of the present, past, and future of the civil war, bitterly denouncing its leaders and instigators, and stating it bb his settled .conviction ‘hat “ this infernal re bellion must and will be crushedthat he was an unconditional^ Onion man, in favor ot “the Con eMtutign as it is and the Union as it was '■ K... c.,. ln3fdgrrepnc-uc[wn-xn-BTO,trrnuu.---]it|„OTiu!S— severe terms to the spirit of disloyalty manifested amongst a certain class of people in the North Breckinridge Democrats, peace men, and thoso who clamor about the violations of Southern rights. Several of the audience having been wounded by these attacks, “skedaddled.” The medicine ope rated, and they went. . Before closing he paid a high tribute of respect to President Lincoln, ex pressing unshaken confidence in his policy, and his ability to carry ifc out. The Parson left us this morning at 0 o’clock, for Philadelphia. Aural. Lieutenant Colonel Oscar V. Dayton. We are happy to see that the Governor of tho State of New York has promoted this gentleman to the‘lieutenant colonelcy of the New York 624 Re giment, better and well known as the Anderson Zouaves. This regiment was raised under the supervision of General Robert Anderson; the flag which it has borne, with such distinction through, every battle on the Peninsula, is his gift, rt is not our rule to take special notice of regiments belong ing to other States, but this, if only through its con nection with the Hero of Port Sumpter, has claims to the national attention. We believe that Lieu tenant Colonel Dayton is now the only one left of its original field-officers; its colonel, J. Lafayette Biker, as our readers must remember, fell in a charge led by him at Pair Oaks. Lieutenant: Colonel Dayton is a native of New York, and a son-in-law of the late J. Augustus Shea, the gifted Irish poet. From the time of the departure of the regiment for the seat of war, now more than a year, to the present time, he has never been absent from duty; he has strictly applied, himself to the study of military seienee, thus pre senting a commendable contrast to those officers who may be seen daily loitering through our streets, -igis courage and taet, at the battle of Williamsburg, received much praise in the official report of that affair; ana his conduct in the batUwj at Pair Oaks, when his regiment wag surrounded by the enemy, is spoken of by General Peek, in his official report of that day, as exhibiting “energy, bravery, and coolness under the most trying circumstances.” The qualities thus mani fested have not only won for Lieutenant Colonel Dayton the well-merited promotion which we have stated, they seem to have confirmed him as first in the hearts and confidenee of the regiment. Soon after the death of Colonel Biker, tho whole regiment, including twenty-three out of the thirty officers, forwarded to Governor Morgan a petition asking that Major Dayton be commissioned as the new colonel, and that the usual gradation of pro motion be laid aside in this ease. The petition did not reach the Governor until after the commissions were aotuaßy issued inthe usual routine of promo tion, otherwise he wou'd undoubtedly have grati fied this ’ wish of the gallant Zouaves, so unani mously expressed. The compliment, however, to Lieutenant Colonel Dayton is none the less a con spicuous testimony to his efficiency; and one of which he may be justly proud". The fact itself is one well worthy of a place among the incidents of the war.’ It is with pleasure that we state that Lieutenant Colonel Dayton has. so far recovered from the effects of the wounds reecivodby him in the battle on the Ist instant as to he abie-to resume his active duties. The Want of Specie—How to* Meet it. To the Editor of The Press : Sir : The present condition of oarionrrenoy forces itself upon the consideration of every person using money, and the high rate of the precious metals, or depreciation of our paper money, .which ever yon please, presents rather unpleasant matter for daily-refiection. A few crude ideas have oc curred to me, whiel) I have thought might be .worked up -by the proper parties into something useful to the community. I think our banks hava it in their power, without loss to themselves, to re duce the price of gold to a nominal premium. I am not a banker, nor -am I conversant with the laws of banking, hut I know, from tho existenoe o£ a legal tender other than gold and silver, that they can pay their liabilities in something else than gold and silver—l mean United States treasury notes. Now, of what use is the specie balance ia their vaults? It is evident it is wanted to pay our indebtedness to Europe, whether for tho redemption of American securities, the payment of interest to foreign creditors, the purchase of arms, &c., by Government, the’legitimate demands of business, or caused by the short shipments of pro duce; be it cotton or grain. I do not pretend to say. Certain it is. it is due, and the money is wanted to pay it. The banks have their gold hoarded in their vaults to-day in New York, Philadelphia, and Bos ton, to the amount of forty-five millions of .dollars, and the people are imitating them, and every far mer, in bis old stocking, and so-called prudent man out of business has his little 'hoard, waiting till it rises to the highest rate. It may go down with 8 rush, when every one wilt be forcing his little lot on the market, regretting that he did nob sell at a higher rate. All this gold is of no use to the com munity at present. It will pay no debt, but is sink ing interest for most of the holders. * Now would it not be better for us to pay our debts honestly, and trust to the balance of trade returning usbur specie whob it comes in a natural flow? In a few words, then, my proposition is this: : Bet tho banks of our largo cities, by mutual agreement, .open their coffers to the public, and propose to sell their gold at the highest premium they can get, payable in legal-tender notes, with which they canredeem their circulation when called on; The gold so sold to be drawn pro rata from the banks of each city, and the premium paid to go to a fund, to. (be established for the relief of the families?f deceased, wounded, or disabled sol diers, or Me support of hospitals for the sick, and placed in the Hands of responsible trustees for such a purpose: The inevitable effect, of this would be, by throwing forty-five millions of spe cie on; the market, to reduce the rate to a nomi nal figure in the end. It would be honest to pay our debts, and I believe honesty the best policy, for individuals, corporations, or nations; and as a man in debt is never honestly rich, the payment of that debt does not make him poor. I‘am not so sanguine as to expect the great corporations of our large cities to adopt what will, of course, be con sidered such visionary ideas; but these ideas may set some one more capable to thinking on the sub ject, who may have the position and ability to do something for the relief of the community. With great respect, yohr obedient servant, , Justice. Small Notes and Small Change. To ihe Editor of The Press : Sir ; Tbe experience of the last year must be suf ficient to satisfy all persons of the laek-.of wisdom ia those whp'advocated the issue of small notes by out bants, for the purpose of driving the small notes from other States out of circulation. Eighteen months ago we had very, few smaH notes from New Jersey and Delaware, circulating among us, but where there was one then, there are ten now; and not only these, but shinplasters from Connecticut, New York, and Maryland banks, of all sizes, smells, and colors. Our own bank notes do not drive them out of circulation; no ono who knows anythiDg.about currency even supposed that they would, for it is a law of currency |hat the worse currency drives the better out of circula tion. Ihe more foiro a bank r.oto is, the'ijuioker does it pass from hand to hand. : But if our small notes have not driven those from other States out of circulation, they have done something else that was not bargained for : they have nearly driven specie or real money out of cir culation.'Tn 18S7 or 183 S the Legislature of New York allowed banks to issue shinplastera; conse quently, change has ever since been much scarcer in New York than in Pennsylvania, where tike Legislature prohibited small notes in 1828; ' It is to : be hoped that the next Legislature will have sufficientvirtue to repeal the unfortunate law, passed in 1801; allowing of bank notes of less than five dollars in amount. B, W. "VfOBTHY; OF NOTICE.—It is reserving of notice that the late; emphatic.declarations in tho British Par lisment agaimt intervention are coincident with the ar rival of Lord. Lyons in England. In Washington, Lord Lyons was in conUdentia! intercourse with Hr. Soward, and he could give the British Government valuable hints about the propriety of meddling with onr affairs, if ha chose to do so. That ho has notified Russell and Palmer ston or the unprofitable nature of tho business’i» evident from their latest published speeches. . :,
