Conrad’s Devotional Poems * Tlie late Itobeit T. .Oonrad, wlio died four years ago, at the early age ot 48, left behind him a tragedy entitled “ The Heretic,” said to bo in the possession of Mr. Edwin Forrest; who purchased it from the author, and the vo lume of Devotional Poems before us. The poems are introduced by some stanzas to Mr. Conrad’s mother, "stilt surviving; and a prose preface, both written by Mr. George K. Boker. The stanzas are touching and simple; we re gret that the preface is not biographical. The only permanent notice of Conrad’s life occu pies less than half a page in Appleton’s Mew American Cyclopaedia—too brief a record;of a man so gifted. Mr. Bolter, who appears to know him well, and estimated him highly, ought to have written a biography .rather than a preface. . ■ Conrad was a man of great "talent—-able as a speaker, as a writer, as a poet; a man rather of talent than of genius, with considerable facility in every sort of composition which he . attempted. Had, be. confined himself to litera ture, he might have obtained a high place among the poets of Ms land. Unfortunately; lie got mixed up in politics,; and' ; :« To Party gave up what was meiaat for Mankind.” It is greatly to Ms credit that even his politi cal opponents—we doubt whether he had an enemy—greatly loved and admired Mr. Conrad. His nature was genial, and his maimer emi nently gentlemanly. He loved literature Toi* its own sake, and, as was said of Goldsmith,; admired what he touched. In the volume be fore us, perhaps more of the inner man is exhibited than in any of his productions pre viously published, It has been said, «Ap. undevout Astronomer is mail,” and this may beas truly applied to the Poet. Mr. Conrad, these poems show, wm deeply impressed with the serious and saving truths of revealed religion—though, perhaps, witli a lofty con tempt for all that savored of hypocrisy, and;. Pharisaism, he did not wear religion on his sleeve'“for daws to peck at.” Mr. Curtis says, with' great truth: ' , What if they cry, who probe, . : “lot hara’g a speck, or there a flaw!” . He scorned the dust npon his robe 1 Far more thsu any one who saw. -'i - The dust he gathered on bis path Wascommondusfc—whstekirtisclear^-- He ehoek it off, ia holy wrath, - Ere to God’s presence he drew near • Among a mass of fragmentary works found among Mr. Conrad’s papers, the poems in this volume were fourd. The manuscript was submitted to Mr. Bokcr (by Mr. Eisenhrey, a son-in-law of the deceased poet) for such re vision as might better adapt it tor publication. Mr. Boker says, “ I found little to criticise, and nothing that I presumed to amend. It is placed before the reader in the precise State in which it was left by its author. I have inter fered in no way with the original design. In my opinion, it would be something like sacri lege to jetouch, however lightly, a work that addresses itself more directly to the religious than to the artistic sense.” ' , The Devotional Poems, which may bo taken as Mr. Conrad’s Confession of Faith, consist of, (£ Sinai”—ten poems, in'the Spenserian stanza, on the Commandments; of ten sonnets on the Lord’s Prayer (which were previously included in a volume of Conrad’s poems, pub lished in 1852) ; and of twenty-seven miscel laneous « Bible Breathings,” many of which are faT above the usual level of religious poe try. On the whole, however, the illustrations of the Commandments strike*us as superior to. ear nestness, which, attesting.the- reality of their authbr’s-cojivictibns) is fine poetry,- , * c For Song is biit the • eloauence of Trath. ,} Here is one of the Sonnets ott the Hojd’s Prayer, which, Letter than oftr description, ■will show the fervor which 3tfr. Conrad has breathed into his verse; /. Deliver ns from evil l Hapless race l Our life a shadow, and our walk a dream; Our gloom a fate, our joy a fitful gleam: Where is our hope but Thee! Oh, give ns grace •To win tby favor! Save from loud-voiced wrong Arid creeping craft. Save fr«mthe hate of foe 3; : The treachery of friends; the many woes : Which to the dash of man with man'belong l - Save those I love from want, from eickness, pain ! And—spared that pang of paags—oh let me die - 'Before for them a tear-drop filla my eye; And, dy iDg, let me hope to meet again! Oh; save me from myEein Make me and mine, In life and spiiit, ever, only Thine! ThisistveUexpressed—prayerfully, toruierly, reiyingly. We might take critical exception, however, to such a poem as this being called a Sonnet. It consists of the fourteen lines, but, instead of having the accustomed stnictnro of a Sonnet, only gives three four-line stanzas, rounded off with a couplet. In the Bible Breathings, which occupy near ly'half the volume, the few in blank verse are by far the best. Mr. Conrad, who was very eloquent, was perfect master of rythmical conr . struction, and especially showed himself such in blank verse. His ear for poetry was so perfect #iat such a blur as a bad or forced rhyme is scarcely to be found in all his poetry. From the miscellaneous poems we find a difficulty in making a selection, where there is merit in each and all ; but* the; following will’ be read with pleasure,—not the'less because it reminds, us, we can scarcely tell why, of the measured' and contemplative stanzas of Gray: THE LINC,EKING WINTEB The snow-flakes Mbs tha ploughman’s crimadnod'faee; He guides tho share and turns the farrow stiil; ■ With manly patience, and with measuredjpace, Nor hecdß the winter lingering on the hjll. .

Review of General HenitzeJmaips Corps—Re covery of Colonel Wyman*s Body—The Re bels JErecting a Battery Opposite Harrison’s Landing—List of Pennsylvania Sick and Wounded in Richmond* . / Harrison’s Landing, July 14,1862. Oar lines of defence are fully developed, and the works, which sprang up as if by magic when the army sat down hero, are nearly perfected. The recent discussions In Congress upon the question of putting contrabands at work in tho trenches gave riae In .the. camp to a story that such a disposition would bo made of the services of'the gentlemen of African descent now lying around officers’ quarters doing a little light work' and considerable eating. The result was. quite a stampede among the darkeys. Officers’ boots turned up unbiacked, and. when inquiries were made, it was found that tbe Sambos had skedaddled, in'order to keep clear of the trenches It is just as well for the army,.however. If the? had depended upon the labor of contrabands in fortifying the position, the rebellion would have been a , goed deal older before the foitifications were completed, A thorough trial of contraband laborbas been made oy tbe Comrojspaty Department at the river in unloading trans ports. Negroes who have been free for a long time are found to bo serviceable, but the slaves fresh from the .plantations will not work. Some work until they have received, a dollar .or two, and then cut their stick; but most of them vamose after having worked half a day. Major Central Hdntzclman reviewed and inspected his^ corps d’ctrmge to-day. Kearney gave him an artil . lory salute, the first compliment of tbe kind paid to tho newly appointed major generals. The old veteran looked well pleased aa he rode around the lines, accorap mied by those heroes of this memorable campaign, " Fighting Joe” and “Phil Kearney,’?, as : Generals Hooker and Kearney are familiarly called in tlie army. The veteran Heintzelman was dressed in a.plain blouse, without ahohlder straps or sword ; bnfc in the inspection of arms, accoutrements, and equipments, and his inquiries re specting the number and status of tbe different regiments, he showed that nothing escaped bis critical eye.. .. An extra ffag of truce was sent up the James river to day to recover tbe body of Col. Bowel T. Wyman,' of the 16th Massachusetts Begiment, Tftio was killed in the bat tle onthe Quaker road, Monday afternoon,. Juno 30th. Colonel Wyman was struck by a Minie ball, which had been blunted by hitting some other object and penetrated his breast, near the heart, about an inch and a half, tap ping the main artery. The body was brought several milesfrom the field and burled on Haxajl’a plantation. The circumstances of the recovery of the body are somewhat curious. The wife of Colonel Wyman, who was paepibnately fond of her husband, was extremely anxious that his remains should be brought • to her, and Mr, John M, Way, a lawyer in Boston, and a friend of the family, wub induced to undertake the, task. Armed with letters from Governor Andrew to various persons high in office, ho proceeded to Washington, and, backed by members of the Masaachusetts delegation, besought of Secretary Stanton the privilege of coming to the army for that purpose. Tbe Secretary could not grant his re fluest. General McClellan bad given positive orders that no civilians Ehonid be allowed to come up James river, and that no bodies of officers or soldiers should be dis interred. The solicitations of members of Congress were of no avail, and. Mr. Way. after trying every red-tapo ' avenue to bis object without success, came to Baltimore, where be managed to get a pass to Fortress Monroe by purchasing an interest in a schooner and the privilege of acting as her captain. Jhe schooner was among the transports in James river, and he was allowed to come up to Harrison’s Landing to look after her, a metallic coffin arriving by Adams’-Express at tbe same timo, Mr. Way immediately applied at headauarters for permission to go wilk a flag of truce toHaxall’a plantation. . General Mc- Ciollan’s first question was, “Howdid he get here 7” and consent was immediately given him to fiaisli the errand he had begun. The Vanderbilt was at EaxalPs Landing, taking on board the sick and wounded in hos pital there, .under flag of truce, and, as she did not.re turn as Boon r as anticipated, Mr. Way engaged a special steamer and went up to Haxall’s Landing yesterday, ae ermpanitd by Surgeon Jewett, of the 16th Ma»sacbu setts, and officers detaikd’for the occasion .No trouble wob experienced in effecting the object of the expedition. The Confederate officers'and surgeons were polite and considerate; tho body was found undisturbed where it bad been buried, through tbe guidance of the late Colo nel’s orderly, and placid on board the boat. K With the exception of small parties sent out for fatigue duty on entrenchments, our army is enjoying a blissful EGBsoa of rest and repose’.' The sick list dees not di minish as fast as desirable. The sickness that manifests itself daily in our camps is doubtless the traces of disease contracted,, by the men in- the Ghickahominy swamps— fevers that have iiifcidiohsjy'engrafted themselves in the system—kept subdued 'by-the -indomitable spirit of tbe men and the fxcitemen&of battle, and just now making their presence known and felt The weather, *which for a peek has heen bright and sunshiny, has opened with a steady rain, much to the discomfort of those of the men without shelter, 9. he recent order for the exclnsionof civilians from the. lines of the aimy is very, strictly enforced. Many cor respondents, who had gone North for a few days after the recent battles, find it impossibteto gefcback* as they, in common with tbe rest, are excluded. If a correspondent even goes to FortreßsMonroe, and desires to return, he is not permitted to do so. I presume this rule has some good reason for its so strict enforcement, though .what that reason is I have not as yet been able to discover. If it has keen determined upon to ' exclude correspondents, why ie it not done boldly, instead of^drying to get rid of them gradually in this way 1 ”■'■■■; ; - The rebels still, continue to occasionally annoy* our transports on the river with their field pieces from the opposite bank, which, when our gunboats mako their ap pearance; aTebaatily withdrawn. They bavenofc accom plished any material damage as yet. No doubt; means will soon be found to terminate this practice, which; it' rmutbe confessed, has more of the elements of excitement than pleasure about it;—iV. r:. Herald. \ •. Harrison’s Landing, July 15. Along the lines all was quiet yesterday. Our men are hard at work entrenching. Along the rivor it is reported - the rebels are haid at work erecting batteries at the very best points that can be selected to command the.passage :of .the river..: NoBe v o£ our boats were fired upon yester day, notwUb6Undi£g ihatBcmcof bur mea who came up' oh tbs mail-boat fired some .musketry where it was sus pected there, weye rebel rifio-pits or batleriea; but every thing that that the rebels 'are going to an roy us, and that they ar6.w<ffking along the rirer banks, has .been welt established *fcs.'a positive fact. 'Mr. B;' Lathrop, the pilot of the Warner, informs me that a 3 he came up, yesterday, he sawf at a place nailed tho Seven- Mile Beach and opposite' Cambell’s Marsh, about 100 , moonted:tteD, who,felrback into the woods when they found out they could be seen from the pilot-house of the Warner. ■ ■' jVI may mention here that-pheets of irom have been* placed all around the pilot-houses of our mail boats, and that nearly every boat tbatrleaves here makes proviiion in some manner to protect its pilot-house, so sure are they that they will be opened upon , by the rebel balteriea at no distant day. The rebel? know the vast importance that the James river is to our army, and they are not going to remain idle. , * Oar gunboats cannot be too vigilant in watching the river barks, lest some powerful batteries may open on them when they least expects if. Positive Information was received last evening about: 4 or 5 o’clock that the rebels were putting np a very Btrong battery on the other' side of the rivtr, opposite our camp. Thera is nothing to prevent their dung so. The river is about half a mile wide at the place designated, which is opposite oar lower landing. , The available tags and steamers commenced towing our schooners, barg es, Ac., up the river to our middle landing—we have three regular wharves, or as we call them, landings, being about a mile apart—and at eleven o’clock last night nothing was left in harm’s way. Some of the folks whose Quarters are convenient to the land-, fog were much : scared, ..as they, expected the ..battery would open en their position during the night. The 3d Massachusetts .Battery was sent down, and they stationed themselves on the river bank, ready to re spond to the rebels, should they commence to shell us— wbicli they did not do. Two of bur boats—the 0. Yau derbilt and Wnar W.'Crazier—returned from up the river They were Bent up yesterday with a flag of truce, under Ihe direction of Col. Switzer, ooe of Gen. Mc- Clellan’s aids. TfceC.; Vanderbilt was under the direc tion of BrlgadeSnrgeon Watson, assisted by Dr. F. 0, l Green, and otlierß. ” They proceeded as far asTurkoy Bend, when • they met Dr. Cullen, medical director of the Confederate army. • The doctors of the different armies dined together, and the utmost good feeling prevailed on the occasion. ' Poli tics were not alluded to during the long interview. Three of our surgeons, who are hot wounded, were also brought down with 35 of our badly wounded. Ur. Cullen informed Dr.. Watson that every care would bo taken of'bur woundefd, of whom they had 6,000 in Bichmond, and as soon as the Chickabominy Railroad bridge could be.repaired,-which they expected: would be very soon, they, would give us up a thousand a day at the White House landing, : *Dr. Watson speaks very highly of Dr..

The po&itioH of tho main body of the army near Har rison’s Landing remains unchanged. Yesterday a squa dron of the 6th United States Cavalry went out a mile beyond the picket line for the purpose of preventing Bur prhe to a fatigue party on duty at a point in the rear. The enemy’s vedettes wore discovered half a mile injad vance. For upwards of two hours the two parties eat quietly watching the movements of each other, until at length the enemy became exceedingly restless and showed signs of hostility. The 6th allowed liim. to ad vance a few yards and then gave him a volley from their carbine; a few shots were fired in return by, the rebels, after which they turned about and galloped off to their original position. No one was injured oh our side. The enemy lost three wounded and one taken prisoner. The prisoner is of a dull, stupid temperament, and little in clined to conversation. Nothing of interest or value was e'iciied from liim. : At night the picket relief was posted on the line occupied by tbe cavalry, consequentlyour pickets were advanced one mile. As to ibo matter of advancing piekets,; however, we might safely, as far as meeting the enemy ia force is con cerned, take three thousand men and. ; walk straight to within half a mile of Savage’s Station; The main force of the rebels is not less than fifteen miles from our. exte rior line. That would locate them on Trent and Gaines’ Hills, tbe former of which is on the west and the latter on tbe east side of the Chickahominy. Wedo hot sup pose for a moment that the rebels are so regardiesa of life and health as to choose for a camping ground the mire and swamps in the vicinity of Fair Oaks. - be naturally inferred that the new base of ope rations will lead to our approaching Richmond from an other quarter than that of Mechanlcsville or Fair Oaks. Tbe.public will readily perceive tbe direction most likely to be taken by the army. The only question is, when will active operations be commenced! The people at the North are, as competent to judgeof wkat is required to hasten forward the auspicious moment. Give ua rein* forctments and we will give you Richmond. Reinforce ments have already arrived ; but do not fear repletion. The more men we have, and the sooner they join up, the better it will be for themselves, the country; and the cause. • :• £ ■ V- ' THE SIEGE" OF VICKSBURG. & RECOSROISS&NCE UP THE YAZOO. OPjEKATIOHS OF THE BAM FIEET. [Correspondence of the New York World.] . , Off VrCKSßuna, Miss., July 4. We haveherS anchored in the stream, above and bolow the little town of Vicksburg, the sea-going fleet of Far ragut, the gunboat ftot.Ha of Davis, the mortar fleet of Porter, and the ram fleet of EHet. Of the former, we have above the city two second-class frigates, the' Hart ford (fiag-sbip) and Richmond; two sloops-of-war— Oneida and Iroquois—and four sea gunboats, Nos. 1,2, 4, 6. Of the river gunboats, we have the Benton, Ca rondelet, Louisville, and Cincinnati; six mortar boats, under Capt. Maynadier. Of the ram fleet; the Switzer land, Queen of the West, Lioness, Samson, Fulton, and Hornet. Below Vicksburg are sixteen of tho mortar vessels, and twelve armed vessels of various sizos, Including the Brooklyn. Furihtr below, to the Balize, are stationed, at intervals of a hundred miles, gunboats as pickets. Two gunboats, the St. • Louis and Mound City, are also left at Memphis; two, Pittsburg arid Cairo, at Fort Pil low; two, Lexington and Conestoga, (wooden), have gone up the White river as convoy for transports. One, the Sumpter, (captured), is reported on her way down, the Essex . (rebuilt) is daily expected), the Eastport (new) is to be ready in a few days, and the Tyler (wooden, repaired) is to be ready for patrol duty along the river at once. THE FORTIFICATIONS. We yesterday took advantage of the enemy’s pacific disposition, and walked across the peninsula to tho point at which the mortar sleeps are moored, about three miles below the town, and then walked up the sboro so as to stand face to face with the city, and observed at our leisure the works of the enemy. We were in plain sight of the rebels, as tbey were in plain sight of us, there being only the .narrow river, three-quarters of a mile wide,' between üb. The firit and lowest battery is probably the largest, and located on the top of the bluff half a' mile from the out fekiits. It mounts five heavy guns, which can be seen with the naked eye, To the left, and further up, is a bafc teiy only appreciable from the strip of new earth thrown up, but which is found, to contain two guns when examined by the glass. A quarter of a mile to the left is still another battery, on the bluff, of four guns Mid way up the bluff, and-immediately below the last-men tioned battery, standß tie Marine Hospital, a large brick structnre. At a distance of four hundred yards from the corner of this house are two batteries, mounting three and two guns respectively. These are aU the batteries discernible below.tbe place, and I should add that men are seen working on the crest of the hills half a mile be low any of these, but, If mounted, the guns are masked. AH of these batteries cannot be seen at once. Above the city, so far as tho eye can discern, are two batteries, located on the ridge of.a jutting spur; they mount four ayd two guns. These are all the fortifica tions which can be seen from the opposite shore when the whole hillside Is spread out In panoramic form. Com. Farragut’s officers state that, in passing the batteries on Saturday last, new batteries were discovered, and the smoke kept popping out from a hundred places where .they were never expected. There are aIBO reports In the fleet that batteries are being thrown up in'the streets, ;nnd speculation takes a high range of the number of guns opposed to us; . THE ENEMY STRENGTHENING HIS WORKS. , We ai*e inclined to think that'the excitement of tbe movements under fire may. have exaggerated tho num ber of batteries and guns, and, as for The batteries in the streets, it is probable that tbe story brought by deserters is simply that field artillery has been planted in eligible positions to oppose a landing of troops should it be at tempted.,. Wears inclined to put the number of gune at thirty, thousli we saw men at work, in two places undis ittrled, as if erecting new earthworks or bomb-proofs. DELAY PROBABLE IN THE OCCUPATION. In the case of Yicksburg, as in the cases of Pillow; Island No. 19, Columbus, and Henry j' there seems to be a,strong probability of a long pause. The troops which ere necessary to hold and occupy tbe place are not hero: no one can Bay when they will bo here. The six regi ments of Gen. Williams, three thousand men, are insuf ficient for the task, and weeks may elapse before we may get any from Gen. Halleck’a command. That the ,fleet are down here at all is due more to the energy and ex cessive bravery of one man than to any. professional sagacity or ardor on the part of those to whom the duty legitimately belonged; If Col. Ellet had not boldly pushed down and opened the way, carried Die request of Commodore Farragut to Commodore Davis, it is not likely that we should have been in front of Vicksburg at this hour. HEROISM or THE RAMS IS LEADING THE TVAY. We cannot think of :.the enterprise of those five frail rams pushing their'way down between four hundred miles of hostile shores, not knowing at what moment a masked battery might open upon them, or a rebel fleet make its appearance, or .the diabolical guerillas fire into them, without exclamation of admiration for the heroism ot the brave men who volunteered in the hazardous ser vice. When we reflect that T they had not as much as a howitzer among them, and must depend for their safety upon their speed and f their piercing beaks, there is some thing audacious and spirited about, the attempt which commands bur higbest admiration. v THE LOSS SLIGHT. : The damage done by the rebel shots to; our beats te iedeed very slight, compared with the amount of-powder expended. Four of the eight Teasels were struck, some of them receiving two and ti ree balls through them. On those which succeeded in getting ' through, eight only were kilted and thirteen wounded. The two vessels .whieli turned back suffered more heavily. One of them had a ball to penetrate her steam chest, which killed four men and scalded fifteen others. The loss in the whole engagements, as I learn from an officei of the fleet, in all tbirteea killed and thirty-two wounded. I have been particular to arrive at this state ment, aa tho first reports stated the loss much greater. Tbe'damage to the vessels is very slight and sucb as can readily be repaired. The Hartford had six shots In Lerhull- and the Richmond two. The losses of the enemy in the engagement we can, of course, know but: little about. An unreliable report from a deserter says they had a hundred and fifty killed BEd wounded. It is also said that if wo bad kept up the bombardment half an hour longer the place would have been abandoned.- A recohnoissaxce without force. The journalists yesterday made atour,across the penin sula in the blazing white sand, while the thermometer was near one hundred.. A journey of ten miles in vari ous round-about ways, to avoid swamp? and bayous, brought us up the -Louisiana shore, opposite th© city,%nd we passed along the front of the batteries. We could look right into the streets of the city 5 could see the houses baking in the sun; we could see tho batteries as we ‘ moved up, carefully watching for the white puff of smoke which should warn us against a coming charge of grape and canisier. so that we might dodge behind a tree or bank. NoV a shot, however, greeted us. We could perceive men working at the lower batteries, and senti nels pacing on these of the bluff. . Here and there could be seen a figure crossing a street, and on another occasion a troop of cavalry galloping along the top of the bluff There seemed to be a cessa tion of: hostilities on their part, not a single shot being fired durlng the afternoon. The only symptom of life in the plaoe beside was the town clock on the Court House, which rang out the hours as if its gilded . hands pointed down to the haunts of trade and peace as of yore. A large wharf‘boat still lies moored at the bank, a flat boat, abd these are all that is left to remind us that it was once the centre of a large trade. . The mortars from the upper side of the peninsula were, however, throwing shells over our heads in the mean time. We watched-their. effect for seme time: Most of them fell over beyond tbe bluff, where, as Captain Whoe lock infonaed us, the enemy bad an. encampment. We could perceive no marks of injury done to the buddings, and we should judge there had been no attempt to knock the town to pieces. Tho intention is, we believe, to aim' only at the batteries. EXPEDITION BPTHE YAZOO RIVER. The result of the conference .which ensued between Commodore Farragut and Colonel Eilet was soon seen in tbe sending of an expedition up the Yazoo river to as certain the state of affairs there. On Monday, at day break, the Switzerland (flag), Horner, Lancaster, and Monarch, started up the river, and proceeded cautiously up. the stream for miles, expecting, at every moment to encounter a battery. When ; nearing Liverpool, about eighty miles from the mouth, they discovered three boats, one ol which bad masts. They came to a bait immedi ately, and awaited developments,. Lieutenant Colonel Ellet- had just written a note demanding the surrender of the place when the smoko was discovered issuing from the boatß, and they were set adrift down stream. . They waited long enough ,to see tho character of the boats, and, conceiving that the purpose of the rebels was lo ignite or destroy cur boats by explosion, the rams were turned down the stream and the steamers left to be consumed. - : Frcm a native whom they picked up they learned that the names,of tbohoats sefconfire were tho Van Doni, the Livingston,'and the Lady Polk, comprising the rem nants of .the fl'ets of Montgomery and Hollins. The reason be gme for this destruction was that the rebels had, long since constructed a formidable raft of sunken barges and flat-boats acrosß the river at that point. The-Van Dorn, Livingston, and Polk, being chared up by the fleet, took refuge in the Yazoo, and on arriving at the barricade, the. guns and munitions were removtd to the Arkansas, which lies above self-block aded. ,Part of tbeguns had been put in battery on shore, on a bhtff but a short distance, above, the raft, so that the operation of clearing out tbo passage will be attended with some risk. In the meantime they are said to be woiking on the Arkanfiaa to make her invulnerable. It is not likely, however, that she will give us any trouble, as she is of great draught, and the water i 3 falling so low that she cannot come out. Fifteen large transports are above the blockade also. PROSrEOTIYE MOVEMENTS. i* ttttt only remains for me to mention that the capture of doeß not seem to be close at hand.. We are mpßut to renew something very like Island No. 10. Itis believed that the fleets'can silence the batteries with ease, but it may be more difficult to hold them. Our gunboats can cover the batteries with shot and shrill, but they can not occupy the place after Ihe enemy is driven thence. To this end it is necessary to have a large land force to co operate with them—say 12,000 men. These troops ' have been asked for, and, if Gen. Halleck desiros to do this great service, he will at once forward them. : ■ Judging from the sluggishness of past movements it is hardly probable that any adequate force will be here for two wetks. In the meantime tbe mortars can do little cite than hurl shells into the enemy’s woricß, to prevent their enlarging the foitifleations. I • There is one alternative already mentioned which may change the programme mated slly; this is the canal he re mentioned. , r If, they shall sacceed in digging down TWO CENTS. to a sufficient depth, before the Fall of the river, we may expect to bear of our boata passing tip and down through the channel in a few days. The success of this enter prise, I am sorry to say, is not considered absolutely cer tain, however* THE -FUTURE OF THE RAK FLEET As no hostile fleet floats on the Mississippi or its tribu taries, it is likely that the function or the ram fleet is at an end. The Arkansas is up the Yazoo river, but is blockaded in by the same means by which wo are kept out. It is possible that the rebels are hoping to finish her, so as to make her impregnable, that she may, at the next great rfso, come out and scuttle our whole floet. It is also certain that they are constructing shore batteries with which to resist the ascent of our boats. The large transports up the river will doubtless be burned on our approach. Another reconnoissanco by rams and gunboats is in contemplation up the Yazoo, to complete the destruction of tho Arkansas. After that shall havo been completed it is supposed tho rams will bo taken for Government des patch boats, for which they are admirably suited, being proof against rifle shots and field artillery, and when lightened of their load of lots will bo very fast. Siektie&s in the Fleet. [From tho New York Post.] A gentle man from Commodore Farragut’a fleet, off Yicksburg, who has just arrived in litis city, gives some Interesting statement* about the condition of matters at that place. The story is not calculated to impress one favorably in regard to tho management of. affairs. THE GUNBOATS. Commodore Farragut left New Orleans for Yicksburg on the 2d of May, arriving there ou the 11th. The reason for this slow voyage was the defective construc tion 61 the gunboats. Thvy are btd sailers and totally unfit for sea boats, according to the oft-repeated decla ration of the regular ccean tailors who were with the expedition- FAYING REBELS FOR THE USE OF A FERRY BOAT. One of the boats got aground near Bodney, and. a ferry boat belonging at that town ws3 employed to take her off!; This occupied some hours. ; The ferry boat was the property of several rebels, and by.order of the comman der of the expedition, a letter of acknowledgment was sent them, enclosing one hundred dollars for services. SHELLING YICKSBURG. : The gunboats took position by tho town, but not being in Bufficient force did not attempt bombardment. The practice was to tail up of an afternoon, when tho western sun favored them, and throw a Quantity of shells into the city. Captain Porter and his fleet arrived on the 231 of May, and proceeded at once to bombard the place. The effect was manifest, and considerable dismay wa3 pro duced. ’ _ " ' ' ‘ .. ■ :> . Captain Farragut arrived at Yickßburg on the 28th. He took eleven vessels with him from New Orleans, but for some cause three of them were compelled to turn back. The bombardment was now... continued with in creased vigor. The batteries were repeatedly silenced, and the men serving them would ruti away; but they were met by bodies of. cavalry, and compelled to resume their places at the gunß, SICKNESS ON THE FLEET. An unusual amount of sickness prevailed among our men while the; fleet lay off Vicksburg. On one vessel twenty men out of ninety-two were prostrated by disease. Intermittent fever, degenerating into typhus, was the more common disorder, but cases of scurvy were nume rous. ’ ' , Our informant was attacked by fever, and lay helpless alone a week, when ho was . granted leave of absence, it being supposed that, be could not long survive. He then left for the North; performing much of the journey upon a hoepital boat. He had not been long a passenger on that vessel, where a liberal supply of wholesome and nutritions food was furnished to the sick and wounded, before he btgan to rally; and when ;ho had arrived at Cincinnati, he wob nearly recovered. The cauee.of this.illness must be attributed to the in sufficient and unwholesome food which wa3 supplied to the men on the fleet. The heat, too, was excessive, the thermometer ranging from 200 degrees to 105 degrees in the shade. But the heat did not create sickness—it was the famine. But two supply boa l s reached .Vicksburg from New Orleans during the month, and at one time the advance fleet actually abandoned the place and set out down the river in Quest of provisions. At Natchez they fell in with a supply vessel, which partially relieved them. NOTHING TO BE BONE TILL A LAND FORCE ARRIVES , —TEE WHITE RIVER FORTIFIEB AT BUVAL’S BLUFF. [Special Despatch to the Chicago Tribune ] ‘ v YtOKsaunc,-July 12, via Cairo, July 15. Your correspondent has been down to the point imme diately opposite the city. The town is apparently de serted, nobody being: visible except a few soldiers in the batteries. The batteries are so planted as to be little visible from the river, and are evidently capable of making a stout defence. A rebel flag was flying from one of the public buildings, add a hospital flag from one of the larger buildings in ihe city. Tbe*Yicksburg and Shreveport Railroad is badly washed up, and has not been in running order for two months pari. The rolling stock'ls all upon the Southern end of the road. The telegraphic wire is down. Until the arrival of a large land force, no active move ments will be attempted. To-day, nothing whatever is doing, even the mortars being silent.. It ]'b Eaid that the Yicksburg Whig has been put under interdiction hi regard to all Southern war news. -Five conscripts who hod deserted were hanged in Yicksburg the latter part of last month. • r Me.mfhts, Sunday, July 13—10 A. M. By the Federal ram Thompson, we have news from our correspondent at Yicksburg of the 10th Inst. He re ports nothing of importance being done at that point. .The rebels seem to be strengthening their position below the town. . Last Sunday morning, after a good deal of guess-work shooting cn Saturday night, directed wherever strange sounds were heard in the darkness, nine dead Confede rates were picked up, killed in their tracks,' ... On the Btb, four more were found, among them a captain and- lieutenant. This Sr about the only fighting, there has been done since the 26th of l&Bt month. The bombardment still occasionally knocks down a house. : On the Bth the steamer Empire, Captain Pariah, ar rived from New. Orleans with a mail. She was fired into at Grand Gulf and Ellis Cliff, and struck seven times. No one.was killed. A gentleman; who reports himself justfroru Curtis’ army, reports that Hindman had veen badly whipped, : ! nd sought refuge under his'batteries at DuvaFa Bluff. The fact that Captain Osborne, ,of the Golden Era, re ports Hindman atDuval’s Bluff would seem to be strongly corroborative of such aajertion. Day before yesterday, Capt. Dircks, who is raising a company in this city, with four men, went out on the RaUighand Belivar road to recruit, yestordiy morning, about two o’clock. ' They were attacked in the woods by a band of guerillas, numbering about twenty. After a short struggle, in which one of the rebels was shot by Capt. Dircks, and several others wounded, they took to their heels, leaving Capt.-Dircks master of the field; The captain and one private were slightly wounded. . . Memphis, July X 3 via Cairo, 13,1882. The Government steamer Golden Era arrived this morning from White Biver, having left the expedition on Thursday last. The Federal fleet, when the Era left, were lying at Clarendon, 180 miles from the month of the river. The river is strongly fortified at Duval’s Bluff, twenty-five mites above Clarendon. A railroad extends from this point to a point on the Arkansas river, forty miles distant, enabling the rebels to concentrate a strong force at Duval’s Bluff. General Hindman‘is reported to be in command there with a -force variously estimated at from 600 to 5,000 men. The river is obstructed at this point by sunken boats, pre senting an impediment thatcannot bepassed. The navi gation of the river Is also impeded at several points by sandbars, r and at St. Charles by other sunken boats. . Guerillas continue to annoy our boats by firing upon them aa they pass up and down. The chief engineer of the gunboat Lexington, a well-known steamboat engi neer, named Huber, was instantly killed by being shot through the heart by one of these concealed assassins, on TueFdaylwt. On the day previous, whohad been following the boats for thirty miles along the shore, and fixed at them whenever an opportunity offered, was caught and trapped. On his person was. found a written .authority from General Hindman, directing him to watch Federal boats, and pick off officers whenever he could. Theman was at first placed on board*the transport'White Cloud for confioement,' but after the death of Mr. Huber, he was brought on board the Lex ington, and fastened on the wheel-house, in such a posi tion that he could be plainly seen from shore. While standing thus several share were fired at him from the shore, but none hit him. He waa subsequently taken down and placed in confinement on board tbe Lexing ton, to await examination by ths military authorities. The Golden Era wag several times fired into on her way down, but no oneWa3 injured. The fight of Colonel Fitch with the rebels, sent yes teiday, took place on what is called Grand Prairie, about four miips. back of Aberdeen, Arkansas. The rebel commander was Captain Wheat. Among the captured, all of whom were brooght up yesterday on the Gclden Era, was one lieutenant. IMPORTANT FROM TENNESSEE. Five Hundred Guerillas Cut to Pieces—Cap- ture of Ninety more from Murfreesboro. [From the Louisville Journal, 15tb.J , We leaih from Nashville that Col. Owen, of the 60th Indiana, surprised and cut to pieces fire hundred gue rillas above BuiksviUe, Kentucky, about eleven o’clock on Saturday night. The Nashville Union has other ex cellent newe which it withholds for the present, but it adds that our plans ate all that can be desired. Tbe Nashville Union states that a company of gue rillas, ninety in number, were busily engaged in drilling in an old field between Gallatin and Hartsville, and otherwise preparing themselves for the work of murder and highway robbery, as taught in the code of Ferguson and Morgan, being an improved edition of John Mur rell’s ethics. While absorbed ,in the drill some compa nies of Col. Boone’s regiment pounced upon them, and captured the whole gang, who were taken to Nashville on Friday. . , The Fight at Murfreesboro. We had an interview last evening with Lieutenant 0, H. Blakely, adjutant. of the 3d. Minnesota, one of the regiments attacked at Murfreesboro, on Sunday morning, by Forrest’s cavalry. .The force at Murfreesboro, aa we learn from Lieutenant 8., consisted of six companies of the 9th Michigan, two ccmpaniea ■of the : 4lh Kentucky, (Company A,Captain Chillson, and Company C, Captain Untlianb), nine companies of the 3d Minnesota, and four pieces of Hewitt’s Ist Kentucky Battery. The 9th and the cavalry were encamped on the edge of the town, and the 3d and the battery a mile and a half outside,'on the Nashville pike..; The forces are part of the Twenty* third brigade, which is commanded by Colonel Duffield, lately of the TJnited Stateß forces of Kentucky. General T. T, Crittenden assumed command of the post on Friday night. The attack.was made on Sunday moroing, at 4 o'clock, upon the cavalry and Michigan Regiment, they being completely surprised.. : So large was the attacking party that the infantry could not form inline of battle, and after fighting as'best they could for several'hours, the Michigan Regiment surrendered, Our cavalry was of no assistance whatever, not a man mounted his horse, and but one.or two escaped. In the meantime. a portion of the enemy had burned the railroad depot; freight house* containing commissary stores, and a large warehouse, containing forage and quartermaater’sstores. Having compelled the surrender ofthe cavalry and infantry in town, they broke for the battery. Col. Lester had been advised of the attack, and placed tbe battery upon a knoll, a quarter of a mile from his camp, and with his own regiment to support it. The rebels peered around to’the north of the camp, and, driving through it, burned the officers’ tents, and killed or wounded the guards As they chub out of the woods, to make the) attack,' Col. Lester retained, hi 3 fire until they were - within forty paces of him, when the battery was opened upon them. They were completely disorga nized, and retreated In the greatest confusion. Upon the , next charge the infantry and battery both fired, and tho enemy was thrown into confusion a second time. . Not relishing such treatment, a portion of the rebels went round to the rear for the purpose of attacking us in the,rear as well as in front. This, however, wai of no avail, for Colonel Lester formed Lis men iu a square, and Capt. Hewitt directed his pieces both ways. A third attempt was made to cut the brave men to pieces, but the result was the Barneas before. The rebels retired for awhile, and Capt. Hewitt turned his pieces upon the town, shelling it in the mo&t approved style. It is said thaitbe town was badly damaged, and ,at last accounts was on fire in several places. . The fighting commenced again at noon, and continued unabated until three o’clock, when a flag of truce from ‘ the enemy appeared, stating that the Michigau Ninth early in the day, and demanding an Unconditional surrender by the remainder of the forces. It is said that a threat was also made, tha.l, if Colonel I ester did sot surrender. General Crittenden and Col. Duffield—-who were taken out of their beds by the enemy at ihe outset—would immediately be shot. Colonel Lester rode into town, under protection of the flag of truce, and ascertained that he had to encounter a force of about four thousand, and that he eould rely only on bis own little handful of men to sustain himself. His ammunition, too, had nearly given out, the battery having duly sixty-five rounds of ewe and solid shot, tnd the infantry but a few rounds of cartridges left. He returned, and after a consultation with Captain Hewitt and; his own officers, it was determined to surrender, which was done at about 5 B. M. ; Theonly loss that we can learn among the officers is the killing of Captain Bounds of the 9»h Michigau. Neither the battery nor the „3d Minnesota, lost any offi cers. About twelve men of the 3d wore killed. It is thought that at least one hundred and fifty of the rebels must have been killed. . The strength of the rebels was about 4,000 cavtdry—two Georgia and one Texas rsgi- THE WAR PRESS.

Description of the IHerrimac Nitmbcr Two f now at Richmond—lmportant Drawings Found on Board the Xeazer—Efforts to Blockade the James River. . . Fortress Monroe, July Id, 1862. , A few previous io the evacuation of Norfolk by the rebels, says a correspondent of the Tribun&y ‘‘Meniinuc No. Two ” was towed from the navy yard ia that city up James river to Richmond, where a largo number of mechanics have since been engaged in plating her wilh iron and preparing her for service. Her armor is in plates instead of bare, her sides of wood, and six feet thick; and Bhe will have all the improvements suggested by the career of the Merrimac. In the haste of the evacuation, her boilers were left behind on the dock at Norfolk; but she has eince been supplied with others at Richmond, which circumstance haß occasioned a delay in her coming out. She has received the engines of tho Arctic, commanded by Captain Hai-tstemin his Northern explorations. These engines were taken out of the vessel at Norfolk soon after her return from her memorable voyage, she name of the new steamer or ram has been changed fo Lbe Richmond, and is about two-thirds the size of the Merrimac for Yirginia,) will draw about ton feer, and is represented as being altogether more formidable than.the slayer of the Cumberland and Congress. Deserters, es caped prisoners, and others represent that she is nearly ready to make htr appearanca in the James river, and a slaughter of any number of our gunboats is confidently counted on. It is said that the obstructions at Fort Dar ling have been co contrived as to let her drop through, as did the Teazer the other day. These, are substantially the particulars as they have been obtained from various sources, and are believod to be mainly correct. They have for some time been In the possession of the Government, as were the main facta concerning the Merrimac, long before she made her ap pearance in the Roads. Whether, as in her case, no heed will be paid to them, !am unable to Bay. That some sort of iron-clad steamer Or, ram is constructing at Richmond, can be hardly a doubt. Frieonerß taken at differ ent times, oud without any knowledge of each other’s story, concur in the general aiatemenfc. But there is in formation much more direct and trustworthy; mad though in some respectsthe information gathered through different sources, may be erroneous, there would seem to be little room for Questioning the main fact. On hoard the rebel gunboat Teazer, captured a few days since, were complete and elaborate drawings of the Monitor, and a contrivance to be used In capturing h£r, the main features of which are two steamers connected by a chain cable—one to go on each side of the Monitor, which would be drawn along by the two steamers thus attached to her. There were also minute specificationa as a part of the'plan of capture, and details of men as while others were to be provided with iron plates te cover the openings in the Monitor’s decks; others wiih compounds to pour down her pipe and flue: others with wedges to prevent the revolving of her tur ret; and others still to play different parts. On’the Teazer were found also drawings of submarine batteries aod infernal machlms and their different locations. It ie conjectured that the submarine cable found on hoard of her related to. this branch of tbs rebel service, in which it is supposed she was engaged when she was cap tured. The efforts of the rebels to blockade the James river, and cut off supplies from General McClellan, have as sumed guile a seriou3 shape. There are so many points between Harrison’s Landing and Jamestown where musketry can be employed with almost unerring cer tainty that this species of blockade has become even more effective than artillery or heavy guns, since sharp shooters in rifle-pits and ambuscades bid defiance to the gunboats, while artillery and land batteries cannot stand their, fire. . On Saturday our transports were fired on repeatedly from what is known as old Fort Powhatan, situated on a bluff about forty feet above the water, on the west side of the river, about ten miles below Harrison’s Lauding, where the river makes a sharp turn, and is very narrow, and where. the fort bears directly on a channel for a stretch of two or three miles as you approach or go up. The Pacific, having in tow a schooner, was ficed on at this point on Saturday, and the line cut by a cannon shot. ; The captain of the Pacific, with great heroism, while the shot were flying around him, went hack and picked up bis tow, and proceeded. Captain John Pennington, of New Jersey, of the bark Mustang, was shot through Ihe body by a rifle ball Though he yet survives in the hospital here, he is believed to be in a critical condition. The mail-boat Warner was fired on also, and Btruck several times by musket shot, but no damage was done. Two or three gunboats shelled the place, but the artil lery held out for some time.. The sharp-shooters seemed to regard the shelling very little. They have the effect to intimidate navigators who have no fear of heavy guns, and for this reason the former are really moat mischiev ' ous. The gunboats now convoy everything that goes up or comes down, for a considerable distance. The general belief is, that the rebels are engaged la constructing bat teries, which they will open shortly, with the view of closing the river.- General Holmeß is in command on the west side of the river, andhis force extends for soma twenty miles below Oity Point. - : General McClellan’s pickets now extend eight miles (by land) down the east side of the river, and' it is said that his cavalry have been as far down as the mouth of tha Chickahominy. . ’ •. FROM HARPER’S FERRL Winchester Again Threatened—The Depots at New Creek Broken Up. Harper’s Ferry, July 15,1862. The aspect of affairs in.tho vicinity of Winchester and throughout that section" of the valley, of the Shenan doah. is very unfavorable, and fears are entertained that we. shall soon; have trouble. In consequence of the threatening appearance of matters at Winchester tha stores and alt other valuables of the army have been safely removed here by way of the Potomac and Win 'coeaterEailroad. ' . Various rumors are afloat in regard to the movements of the enemy, and it is reported here that our pickets were driven in below Winchester last night In antici pation or danger, the telegraph office at that place has been removed over a mile from the town, near the forti fications. The fricndß of the South here and at Martins burgsre « acting as if they had heard good news, 1 ’ and express their confidence that tho rebels will make a rail into the Talley aa far as Winchester before many days. The force at Winchester, If compelled to retreat, will fall back upon this place, which we can hold against vastly superior odds. The movements of our forces I cannet state, but I believe that General Pope has them bo posted as to foil Jackson, should he venture too far. There seems to be a general impression here that Win chester will be the scene of a fierce battle before a we9k. It it rumored tbit Jackson, with one-half of the large army which he took to Richmond go suddenly, has re turned, and been reinforced by the numerous guerilla ■bends about the country. During the lost ten days our vast depots of supplies at New Creek, Martinsburg, and other places have beau broken up, and the stores removed elsewhere, so that the rebels can have no temptation along the line of the Bal timore and Ohio Bailrood. There is not much prospect of their interfering with the trains on this road, as they ai swell guarded by Adjutant General Miles here, aad General Kelly at Cumberland, both of whom are under the command of Major General Wool of this department > FROM KENTUCKY. Affairs at Lexington—The Raid iu Woodford Comity—The Fight at New Hope Station. We take the following from the Louisville Journal of We were in error yesterday ia saying that the fight at New Hope Station, on Friday, was between a detach ment of the 35th Ohio and the rebels. The only member of - the 35th Ohio was the noble commander of the Union, forces, Coi. Moore, to whose judicious arrangements and skilful management the success w’aa due. Col. Moore did eo well that it is not remarkable that our informant Bhould have thought he was the. 35th Ohio. The Union forces, however, were.made up entirely of convalescents of the various hospitals, - and they represented nearly eve ry State in tbe Union. When Dr. Perm gave his con sent that such of them as could stand the journey couid go, there was no difficulty In making up the force. The chief trouble was to'prevent those from going who were unfit for the service. And, although tbe rebel marau ders attacked the train in the night, tho convalescents left the cars and speedily formed for battle. THE WOODFORD COUSTY RAID. Wo received very little information yesterday as to the movements of the marauders who appeared so suddenly and unexpectedly iu Kentucky. By despatch from Ver sailles, Woodford county, we learn that a force of five hundred rebel cavalry, under Jack Allen, passed through Versailles about 3 o’clock last evening, going in the direction of Georgetown, by way of Payne’s Station. It is said, also, that a band of rebel cavalry made their appearance yesterday between the Junction and Barda tovn, and the Bardstovn branch of the Louisville and Nashville Bailro&d. We have nothing later in reference to the movements in Shelby county. FROJf LEXINGTON. A private letter received yesterday morning by a gen tleman of this city from a highly-respectable, merchant in Lexington contains ths following: . LixiNGron, Ky., Jniy 14.—A1l is safe here, plenty of troops and to spare. The shout of a thousand is now ringing in my ears on the cars, read? to start to Frank fort at a moment’s notice. Business entirely suspended, and the city-under martial law. The telegraph cannot be used for private messages. Harper’s Magazine The August number, issued unusually early, may fairly claim to be the best- number of Harper ever published. In fiction especially it is varied and excellent. Two new chapters of Thackeray’s Philip,” four of Trollope’s C! Orley Farm.” two of Dinah Mulock’s “Mistress and Maid,” and an original' story called “Tomatoo,” would be some thing to bo»3t of in that line, but, in addition, there are St© chapters of f£ Poznola,” a new romance, scene Italian, by the author of “Adam Bade:” a romance, too, which promises well, and has originated, no doubt, in Marian Evans 5 sojourn in Italy. There is a sketch of John P. Kennedy, by Dr. Wynne, and a pleasant chapter of Remi niscences of Charles Dickens in America, with ex tracts from his'eorrespondenee, by that most genial of authors aid editors, Lewis Gaylord Clark, so well known and so highly popular during his long editorship of the Knickerbocker Magazine, Thu commencing illustrating articles are a continua tion of a Flying Trip through Norway, and a de scription of one phase of New York, under the title Of “Along the Wharves. ! 5 Moreover, there ia a valuable historical contribution, entitled u South Carolina Nullification,” which relates how Presi dent Jackson trod down Secession thirty years ago. In this number of Harper there are, including the fashion plates and the illustrations of the Editor’s Drawer, fifty first-class wood engravings. Harper has reached us through J. B. Lippincott & Co. and T. B. Peterson & Brothers. . Orpheus 0. Kerr.— The amusing papers pur porting to be written by a certain Orpheus C. Kerr, which have been so attractive in tbe New York Smidap Mercury that half the weekly newspapers in the Union have freely stolen them, without acknowledgment, will immediately be issued in book-form, by Blakeman & Mason of New York, the former partners of General Mitchell, who. wo believe, is the author. The adventures of the far famed Mackerel Brigade are among the raciest and best-sustained productions of American humor. REPORTED CONCENTRATION AT WABBEN TON—A gentleman just arrived in Washington, direct from Warrectou, stoles that our troops are concentrat ing therein large force. The place is under the beatstate of discipline, and order is preserved by Provost Marshal Bates. All the stores are occupied by Union sutlers, and tbe soldiers are recuperating their health, Jtc.» with the invigorating air in that locality. Major Paine,- late captain of. tho Blark Horse Cavalry, who was womuled at Williamsburg, Ya.» Is there on his parole. He says be has beeu treated handsomely and courteously by our officers. HIS NAME.—Orphans 0. Kerr, is believed to be the assumed name of flhomas Middleton, who has been for some rears the humorous editor of the New York Sun day Mercury.
