WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1862.
OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE,
English Opinion on American Affairs.
Loudon, July 0, 1862.
“ What are the real sentiments of the English
people as to our affairs ?” This was a question
whioli, previous to leaving America, I had fre
quently heard aehed, and to which very different
and contradictory answers wore given.
It was admitted on all hands that, under what
ever pretence of neutrality disguised, the Govern
ment and aristocracy wore decidedly hostile in their
feelings to the national cause; but by many it was
contended that tho great majority of the British
nation—its bone and sinew, its working, mercantile,
and even educated and wealthy classes under the
nobility, and especially, the religious portion of
the Community—were our warm and decided
friends. I had seen this latter statement reiterated
time and again by the foreign correspondents of
many of our most influential journals, and espe
cially those of tho religious press.
When I arrived in England, now several months,
I determined to keep tho object of discovering the
real sentiments and fcolings of its people on this
subject steadily in view, and employ every means
in my powerfor the accomplishment of that' pur
pose. , Since then I have mixed freely with all the
different classes of society to which I could obtain
access—workingmen, traders, mechanics, ministers,
physicians, barristers, artists, naval and military
officers, Ac,. &0., in steamboats, railroad oars, ho
tels, private residences, shops, warehouses, offices,.
and places of public resort. In order to draw
them out, I have introduced tho subject wherever
propriety would admit, and expressed my own
viewß without reserve, as well as, endeavored by
statement, inquiry, and discussion, to elioit theirs.:
If-there were any great differences of 'opinion;:l
might still be in doubt, and express my convictions
with reserve and hesitancy. But, as far as I can
discover, no such difference exists. That there
are exceptions, and that in some places they ■ may
be numerous, is not disputed, but the general,
statement now about to be made may, I think, be
relied upon with the utmost certainty.
- The sympathies of the English people are with
the so-called Southern Confederacy. They cor
d'lally desire its ultimate and firmly
believe in it. Ten out of every twelve with whom
I have conversed have either openly avowed or
stroDgly indicated such sympathy, and uttered such
opinion. Many of these declared that, during the
earlier stages of the conflict, they were strongly
with the North,, but their feelings and views had
undergone a complete change, and this was the
case with: a large number of their acquaintances.
and friends. I have heard this from anti-slavery
men formerly of the most decided type, from minis
ters of the Gospel, and even from members .of the
Sooiety of Friends, whose testimony heretofore has
been so consistently borne against war and slavery.
I have confessed that it was a mystery which I
could not understand as to the reasons of their
Southern proclivities. In reply various grounds
were assigned at different times, and by different
persons. That tho South was the weaker was, by
Eome, considered sufficient reason. It was natural
that their sympathies shou’d be aroused in behalf
of the weaker against the stronger, and, indeed, it
was unavoidable. Yet, withastrangeinconsistency,
it was by no: means admitted that'the South had
proved inferior in skill or strength, and it was con
fidently asserted that it was impossible to subdue
her. Indeed, I have heard it broadly affirmed by
those who ought, to have known better, that in every
conflict where the conditions were anything like
equal, the Southern armies had proved victorious, “
Again: the English people eannot he made to be-
Hove that the slavery question has anything to d®
with this contest. They assert that it Is altogether
a question of tariff and-territorial supremacy.
Bf&y j in conversation with me,'have gi®e so far as
to say that they believe slavery would’ be sooner
abolished in a recognized'Southern Confederacy
than if this war should end in a reconstruction of
the Union. When pointed to the acts of the pre
sent Administration accomplishing its immediate
curtailment, and looking to its ultimate destruc
tion, they reply that this course has unwillingly
been forecd upon it, and is only intended as a hid
for the sympathy and, co-operation of foreign na
tions. When the declarations of the Southern
leaders, strongly endorsing the system of slavery
and making it the acknowledged corner-stone of
their political fabric, are repeated in theirhearing,
they doubt or deny them or say that
they are merely the expression of individual senti
ment, and are not to be taken as intimating the
animus of their Government. It is, indeed, singu
lar how incredulity, and ingenuity in distorting
every occurrence to their favor and our detriment,
prevail. '
There arc some who come out at onoe without
concealment or circumlocution, and acknowledge
that they would like to see the United States hum
bled and curtailed in her power and resources, as
she has always been arrogant and unjust to wards
England, and sympathized with her enemies in the
Crimean war and the Canadian insurrection.
Special Partners.
. . All these different classes, when asked to assign
their reasons for their belief in the ultimate suc
cess of the-South, inform us that they are united
and desperate; that six millions of people oan
never be. conquered; that if compelled to submit
for the present, they will wateh every opportunity
te avenge themselves ; that the expense of keeping
them in'subjection will utterly impoverish the
North, Ac., Ac. it is not necessary to indicate the
replies whioh were given to these statements, os
they would be familiar to all who may r ead this
article.
Now, as to the manner in which these sentiments
were expressed, it is cheerfully admitted- that,
usually, if was gentlemanly and courteous. iMany
believed, or affected to believe, that really the
Xinited States 'Would be greatly benefited by ac
knowledging the Southern Confederacy. In their ,
opinion, she would become, more compact and
powerful, and expand much more rapidly,in all the
elements of a prosperous civilization.wifh a lesS ex
tended territory; disconnected with the inbubusof
'slavery and all its attendant social and political
evils. Generally they expressed themselves with .
earnestness, indeed; but with entire civUity and
the absence of acrimony. Yet this was not al ways
the ease. Sometimes such sent ments were uttered
in a very offensive manner. A few days after my
arrival I was getting shaved m a barber shop. A
customer who was undergoing the tohsorial .opera
tions, soon finding out I was .ait American, began
abusing' us in the; most contemptible and con
temptuous manner. The Northerners were a na-'
tion of swindlers, and robbers, acting under false
pretences, and guilty of the greatest barbarities.
Of course, self-respect prevented the utterance of a
single word in reply, and being permitted to go on
. without let or hindiauce, he became still
cltedvand vituperative,'until, .still muttering as ho
went, he took up hishst and,walked out, going, no
doubt, to boast tohis frionds how he had given mo
a piece of his mind, and silenced the American.
But, In general, it is acknowledged 'with great
pleasure, however tenaciously. an-Englishman held
his opinion, it was advanced in courteous terms, and
discussed with personal politeness.
It ought also to he distinctly said that though
there is great suffering in many parts of England,
owing to the stato of things in America, and a
general desire for the success of the Southern arms,
there is equally as strong a desire and determine- :
tion on the part of both Government and people to
avoid alt intervention, either 'peaceable or warlike •<
It is thought that intervention would lead to war,
and that would be very generally deprecated; As
a general thing, though confident of their own
military strength and skill, I do not think there is
any disposition to underrate ours, or hold us as an
enemy to fee despised, in case we should unfortu
nately become one. It is true that, at a table
d’hfite, I heard an Englishman tell another that
though we had an army of seven hundred thousand,
and they but two hundred thousand, ono British,
soldier was a match' any day for five of ours, and
one hundred thousand of them could easily subdue
us, and mafie us cry upon our knees for peace.
But this person was, no doubt, fin ignorant bragga
docio, such as are to bo found in all lands, and by
no means a fair representative of English sentiment
and feeling. '
To all the foregoing remarks, one striking ex-,
ception must be made. In a single instance only
do 1 remember any person who , previous to these
troubles, had spen t any time in the United States _
as visitors, or travelled at all extensively through
them, but who unreservedly and warmly espoused
our side of the quarrel. And these friends are
among the best educated and most intelligent
olasses—physicians in largo practice,and Gospol
ministers of great talents and usefulness.
I have thus endeavored briefly and succinctly to
give a statement of English feelings and opinions.
in refeienoe o American affairs. At first, such
unanimity, oi sentiment. againstdhe just; .expecta
tions which the former anti-slavery views of the
British nation bad raised wore surprising and un
accountable. But lam not now so much inclined
to wonder, when I find; that, with very few and
comparatively unimportant exceptions, the public
press in this country has constantly and persistently '
misled the people; and that consequently, as to the
: facts of the ease, even the best and most highly
educated minds hereare laboring under the .gross
est misapprehensions. Opinions formed under
such, circumstances could not possibly.be eorreet.

PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 23, 1862.
A Moan over America.
[From the London Timer,, July 8,1882 ].
Tbe news from America, is such as a sick old
soldier in a thirty-years 1 war might dream in a
nightmare of incessant, aimless, endless, purpose
less fighting. Everywhere there is a dead lock of
arms; everywhere one sees armies encamped iu
morasses, or toiling through mud, under a burning
sun, to'somo point, where; after an even balance
of mutual slaughter, they will: shortly find them
selves as they were, only reduced in numbers, en
cumbered with sick and wounded, and com
detuned to many weeks of inaction., The. noblest
heroism is'wasted: in the attempt-to-gain po
sitions, whioh are either not won, or only won
to be found useless. As two desperate wrest
lers pass and repass the ’ identical spot over
and over again, armies acquire ground only to
lose it, and lose it to regain it, and regain it to
'stand in daily apprehension of a more signal re
verse than the last. Ear away from the basis of:
operations, under the burning sun of Charleston,
and within four miles of that city, the Now: York
“ Highlanders” have been marched up to earth
works, where, after three charge?, tho last with
empty muskets, they Left the: trenches filled with
their dead. Tho only result is mutual terror and
a common; determination not to yield. MoOlel-
Isn stands and still stands before Bichmond with
his eighty thousand men. .Between him and
the city are seven miles of mud, an equal pro
tection to both armies. He demands reinforce
ments, which are needed elsewhere, and for the sake
of which,the right wing of the Northern line has
been sadly denuded;, Should he be defeated in the
battle now imminent his retreat will- be disastrous.
General Banks, with two other generals of name,
has only recovered his position on the Shenandoah
to be assured that he will not reap without molesta
tion the plentiful harvest fast ripening .about him.
The possession of New Orleans leaves the oity a
desert. No vessel comes up the river.' The
warehouse gates are all closed; Every com
mercial transaction is regarded only as bear
ing on finances or the currency. General But
ler is engaged in quarrels with women, with mer
chants, and with the consuls of all nations, and
is hanging ’ men who defy i his authority by
hauling down the Federal flag, or pretend' his'au
thority for the purpose of plunder. In the Missis
sippi aDd its tributaries expeditions conducted with
much courage and skill end in, the possession of
earthworks, useless when gained; and: costing in
one case the horrible death of a whole ship’s brew,
a hostile shot having penetrated- its steam drum.;
Meanwhile the cry Is for more, men. A hundred
thousand men are wanted, and with doubled bouh
tiesand pay, it is said, they will borne. .Great,in-'
deed, must be their zeal or their cupidity if they
join a war which only seadß back' shiploads of sick
and wounded, who would all perish, it- is said, in
the holds of the “.floating hospitals” but for the
kindly aid of good women.
The eye wearies itself as it attempt! to pieroo
thronghthis confusion in search of tho beginning
of the end. On neither side is there any relaxing
or relenting. They must have suffered:.hardahips,
, familiar enough to the soldiers of the populous and
ill-fed regions in this Old World,, but very new to
the inhabitants of a land flowing with milk and
honey. Yet they endure, and do, and die, with ail
tbe spirit worthy of a greater and more intelligible
cause. Many thousands of Irishmen have expiated
the follies ofltepeal by dying to enforce Union; and
as many Germans, cast ' out by their own father,
land, have perished in other men’s’quarreis. Yet
there is no prospect of the war flagging,for-want
of men, and we are compelled to look forward
to the. possible time when the process of mutual
destruction may at least reduce thq South to au
utter disproportion of foroo. Is it possible that
this is the goal of Northern ambition, and that,
like the tyrant of old, they hope to mako osolitude;
and call it a Federal Union ? It is at best a dan
gerous game, for the invaders are naither so much:
at home in the Climate, nor so well undercover, as
the inhabitants of the South, nor so ableto avail
themselves of the resources of the country. But
let us suppose the hideous consummation; let us
grant that it may be possible to sacrifice man against
man, and by dint of money to procure a'perpetual
succession of American or foreign recruits to supply
the exhaustion. - What will be the value of a terri
tory from off which the men have been destroyed ?
■ Will it be a conquest when the soil alone survive?'
with a miserable burden of women, children; and
slaves, the sick, the aged, and the maimed ? If
this be what tho Americans seriously contemplate,
then may we well ask which are the best and-truest
friends to America—we, who have advised them
over and over again to divide quietly into two
friendly federations, dr the men who advise Boston
and New York not to draw-the rein, or abate the
spread of war, till there -remains not a man to pull
down the Stripes and Stars on the soil of the United
States? .? ; ;
The intelligence swells in its range and in its
horrors, as the war flows round the whole Union,
settles in the deep inlets, fortifies itself in peninsu
las, and becomes chronic in vast plains. The long
weary columns of slaughter we give to-day cap only '
-be conadered as an earnest of the worse that may
be expected should tho defenders of Kiohmond re
treat to the mountains in their rear, and all the
other armies now at bay fell back on their supplies
and resources in the interior. The-mutual charges
of inhumanity show how intense is the bitterness
already implanted by less than two years’ war;
Only last year it was amatter oE pride avid gratifi
cation to both sides that Fort Sumpter had fallen
, without the lops of A man on either side, adoF it was;
.predicted that the Americans would-fight a blood
less-war. It is far otherwise now. The greatest
brutalities. are committed. or .ascribed; it matters
not which;. for, if ascribed, they will fiaretalisted.
If scalded sailors leap into the sea; the-Con
federates are charged with firing oanister shot
at the boats sent to save the drowning wretches.
Elsewhere, the Confederates are charged with '
massacring housefuls of sleeping “ contrabands.”
These are .rumors, and may,, or may not, be
true. A private always needs corrobo
ration or checking. The same doubt oannot be
admitted in favor of the' authorities at whose
mercy lies the hapless city of New Orleans. Its
story is to be read in the proclamations and the cor
respondence of its military masters, and never did
conquerors assume such a tone. They have, in
deed; conquered the city, its inhabitants, and all
its valuable contents, though the latter be paid for
by English money, be stored,in English names, and
only wait for the convenience of. a passage to this
country. The Americans will oho day find that
such tyranny recoils back on the heads of those
who countenance it, and : that they are sanctioning
against themselves the principles which theyper
mit towards others. This is the retribution of a
I policy which looks only to conquest and power. It
raises dictators, conquerors, and tyrants, only to
bear their yoke when there isno one else to bear it.

“departure forsome point further South has provod cor

out of the eighteen mortar boats, which constituted hia

An interview with. Commodore-Farragut yesterdays

Bis policy is an active one and his sense of duty only;
not his prevents him from reducing the rebellious

LETTER FROM MEMPHIS.
[Special Correspondence of The PreßS.]
Memphis, July 16,1862.
The Vicksburg enterprise seems to be partially
abandoned. Twelve of the sixteen mortar-boats
have been ordered to report at Fortress Monroe.
They are convoyed around by Captain Davis, who
goes in his flag ship. Thus oar friends, the mortar
boat men, will have an opportunity to revisit the
scenes of their youth. These mortar-boat men are as
celebrated here as Billy Wilson’s Zouaves are in
New York. They are the hardest specimens of hu
manity that could easily be found. It is said that
Gen. Heinteelmen furnished them from his oorps.
Be was ordered to furnish one hundred and sixty
five men for the mortars, and that being the exact
number of companies in his command, he sent
word to each regimental staff to select from eaoh
company the worst man in it, and send him along.
The result does oredit to the sagacity of his regi
mental “officers, for they are a .set of pet-lambs!
The other day a few of them got into a fight on the
river bank. They “sloshed round” in a promis
cuous manner for some little time, and finally con
cluded to devote their energies to one man, whom
they singled out, and proceeded to beat in the most
barbarous manner, and after they had so nearly
killed him that he could not “ holler ” any longer,
they lifted him quietly in their arms and threw
him into the stream. Instead of drowning, ns he
was expected to, and as any well-regulated corpo
rosity would have done without hesitation, he
swam down-river to a steamerj’and climbed on
board? “ Well,” said the man who helped him out
of the water, “I should think yon bame pretty
near being drowned.” “ Faith, honey, and ye’re'
not fur out of the way thero.”
The canal is progressing satisfactorily.' It is im
possible to guess what is going to be the precise re
sult of the ditch. Some think that it will require
more head on the'fiver than it will have before the
fal! rains to force through this new place a ohimncl
sufficiently large to carry, a steamboat safely
through. Others say that in a day after the levee
ib cut the boats will be running through. Of course,
no one can tell either what bars or other obstacles
will be formed either in the hew canal or where it
empties into the old one. Of course, 'some very
considerable disturbances may be expected. It
seems to me a hazardous sort of an experiment.
But if it succeeds it will be the.neatest venture of
the whole war. v '
What is to be our po’iey in the West? Curtis'
march to Helena has proved that there is no enemy
in force west of the river. . There is said to be a
lorgelforce at Vicksburg, but nobody real y knows
anything about it? ; This “ said to be ” is about
played out. Hindman was said to be after Curtis,
.with a gigantic army. The fact is, the Secession
ists are fed upon hopes. They are a species of
chameleon, and live upon air. The West is, so
far as actual warfare is concerned, subdued. The
rebel forces are scattered all over the country.
They will not again concentrate unless it should be
determined'again to shift the scene of the war-from
the Bast to the West. We must occupy the im
portant posts, shoot off the guerillas, keep a suffi
eient force in the field to protect property, and en
courage: the citizens to reopen and keep open the
avenues of trade. War is'going to be the most
valuable agency in reclaiming this people. They
are utterly destitute of many articles which are
absolutely' indispensable, .The most important of
those is salt. Balt is therefore used as an engine
of war.
The Board of Trade, appointed by the Secretary,
of the Treasury to grant permits to sell and take
goods out of the oity, are scrupulously vigilant
that no man takes more goods or provisions, parti
cularly of salt, than he needs for his ewn family. '
In this way everybody that heeds saltris brought to
the city to get it. They see Union, people, f They
see order and protection to property, instead of the.
disgraceful anarohy that prevailed under, the Se
cession rabble. Moreover, they have to take the
oath of allegiance; before they can take away any.
thing.! By-and-by it will get through thoir heads
that if they are loyal they can pursue their avoca
tions as before, buy provisions and sell produco,
and if they .are not, they will be simply outcasts.
The loyalty, which, in less than twelve months, was
turned to bitter hatred, is not a very valuable ac
quisition to the Government, to be sure, but it is
worth what it will cost to got it.
.•.Considerable amusement is caused by the detec
tion and seizure of whisky, ingeniously concealed
in packages of various sorts. Twenty-seven barrels
of salt? Innumerable ..'trunks, ’
and other ihisoelianeoua paekag'jjliaye been found
~i(> contain the precious,red-eye.\' Gentlemen of the
Celtic persuasion we?o exceedingly discomfited,
pud swear by all the saints and the Holy Virgin,
that it was intended solely for their own; use.: One
man said this who. had fifteen gallons seized?
“ Very well,” said the detective. “ you may see in
this another proof of the bcneficcnoe of the United
States Government, which will save you from a
watery grave.” '? . ? . Casoo. '
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
[Special Correspondence of The Press.)
Hbw Obmaks, July 10, 1882.
Ifc is dlfficuU to 'know where to begin a description
of the state of affairs in New Orleans at this time.
The Union sentiment is extending, and its adherents
are gaining confidence of tone and confidence of
expression; but there is a good deal more of con
cealed than avowed Unionism. At the same time,
the Secessionists, real and pretended, are still
largely in the majority, and use. the usual clap
trap of false intelligence to beguile the weak and
keep the timid in alarm.. During this week, we
have been regaled with rumors- from Richmond of
disasters to McClellan, all or most of which wo
hope will prove to be without foundation. Squads
Cf Secessionist* were ■ gathered on Canal and Ca
iondclet streets on Menday and Tuesday, elated
over news that had reached them of an advance
by Glen. Buggies from Jackson, Miss., to Baton
Rouge, and the retaktog of the arsenal and bar
racks at the latter place. On Wednesday morning,

Thugs and other scoundrels who have been the
terror of the community for years have been made,
:foT the first time, to pay the penalty of their crimes;
. Almost since thedsys of Jackson, Hew Orleans has
felt the need of a vigorous, just,- and fearless ad
ministrative power for the repression of crime and
violence., r ; I might almost say that General Shepley
could fie jrephosen no w as mayor by a popular vote.
✓ The discrimination of General Butleiv in the se
lection of suitable magistrates has been , equally

diction, in oases of urgency, such; only being acted
upon. All the other eourts are closed, except thoso.
qf justices of the peace, who have taken the
oath,' the remaining’five still refusing.
■ The Pulton brought out Hon, Roverdy Johnson
and CpthboTt Bullitt,'Esq., the latter of .whom has
the new enviable distinction of having hung out
the last Union flag in How Orleans. He has been
received with a warm welcome by Union men, and
; with a respect that almost amount to cordiality by
' Secessionists,rin spite Of his unswerving Unionism.

and disavowals are offered by the prominent parti
cipants and leaders of the rebellion in this place,
who now remain quietly aloof from tho Confederate

wipe ‘out, or obliterate, or live down their acts.
TherV : is another bla33, ; who have always sympa

Cavalry gcoats report that the enemy’s pickets are
four miles distant from our line. Prom this it would ap
pear that the maiu force of the rebels is gradually re
tiring, as one wetk ago thoir pickets were but one mile
from our own.
Bncomioissances are frequently made by the cavalry,
but they seldom meet with either email or large bodies of
the enemy. The main object ,of such expeditions is to
discover the topography of the country. Ab usual, oar
camp is encircled by dense woods divided by innumera
ble roads/and by-paths,’ some of which; have probably
not received the impression of a wheel or foot for half a
century. Military operations render it important that
the direction and terminus of each road, should be made
familiar to the generals in command. To the cavalry is
almost invariably assigned the duty of obtaining the re
quisite information, and it often occurs that after pursu
ing a road or lane through a forest several miles, the
horsemen are surpriaed to learn that, on account of the
serpentine and circuitous course it takes, they have real
ty advanced but a short distance from the starting point.
: It is understood here that the rebels are engaged con*
strutting earthworks of a formidable character on the
south bank of James river, between Turkey Bend and
Fort Darling. Of late, our gunboats have not gone up
farther than City Point. The rebels continue to fire
upon our vessels going to and coming from Fortress Mon*
roe, and occasionally succeed ,iu doing some damage.

days since, causing a fracture in boe of the plates. She
is now undergoing repairs. /Another beat has been tem

It is not thought tbit tbe guerilla batteries will suc
cessfully serue the enemy in his efforts to cut off our
river communication j but it is the opinion of many that
unless the gunboats are particularly watchful,, onr
steamers and transports-wiil be continually subjected to
inconvenience and delay. It is undoubtedly the In
tention of tbe enemy to follow the exclusive practice of
harassing onr vessels during the summer months, or till
such time as we may make active demonstrations toward
the rebel capital, when, of course, he vrill be necessitated
to aet mere on tbe defence. : ;

Fortress Monroe, July 21 .—The Bteamer Louisiana
arrived this morning from a point twelve miles south of
Bicbmond, on the James river, where she had been sent
to bring offo large number of our sick and wounded,
officers and men> taken during the late battles before
Bicbmond. The arrangements had been made by Gen.
Dixin aulnteiview with Generals Lee and Lougstroet
seme dayß Bince, and at the’appointed time the sick and
woutded appeared, having been brought from the city
in ambulances. Tbe Louisiana took on board four hun
dred and twenty officers and men, perhaps half of whom
are wounded,.the balance being sick and worn out
They have been confined in prison in Bicbmond seven
teen days, and were taken at Savage’s station and other
places at the commencement of the battle, and were at the
time mostly in hospitals. They say they have bren very
well used, except that their food was coarse and bad
About eighty have been sent to New Tor* in a sailing
vessel, and the .remainder will go to Baltimore in the
Louisiana, leaving here to-night. Their nameß have al
ready been published.
Among the wounded are Major Ctitz, ofthe Seventeenth
Infantry ; Col/ Charles, of the Tammany Rudiment, and
many others, thought to be dead. They are all doing
tnywell. A portion are-already transferred to the
Euterpe, sanitary ship, and trill. leave to-night, in tow of
the Vanderbilt. Others of our sick and wounded id the
enemy’s bands will be given up as rapidly aa possible, on
parole, and will be properly cared for by tbe Sanitary
Commission, ; .
There is no news, of importance from the army. Every
thing remains quite tbe same. .The. rebels keep at a re
spectful distance from our lines, but are said to be con
crntiating in some force between City Point and Rich
mond, on the south bank of tbe river, for tbe purpose, it
is presumed, of covering the flanks of- the forta on the
river. Beauregatd is said to be in command in person,
and to have in the neighborhood of thirty thonsaod men
under him. It is purely a defensive position: ’Whether
he will ba.e any occasion to bring his’pets into, action
will probably be known hereafter.: -'V ' ;•
Our stenmf rs havo not been anfibybd for a week past
by rebel rittemen or field guns on. the banks of the river.
Tbe gnnboais have stopped the light gun practice: but
whether-the rebels are not preparing something more
heavy and serions to obstruct the navigation remains to
be seen.' '■
A change is greatiy needed in the manner of condnct-
Ing bubiceis on the Baltimore boats. The James river
boats arrive gemraily an hour or two before the jleaar
tureof tbe Balcimore boat, and the sick and wounded
officers are compelled to wait until the hour for departure
before they can obtain state-rooms or berths on it, mean
while lying upon the floor or upon freight to get needed
rest. This should not be.
' I'am requested to make known the'fact that, by a re
cent order of Major General. Dix, no officer or soldier can
forwaid North any gun, sword, pistol, knife, or any ma
terial used in warfare; . !
. The agent of Adams’ Express Company 1 has men spe
cially; detailed to examine every article of. any descrip
tion going North from this point, and he has been in
structed to turn over all the articles, enumerated above
to the ordnance officer, of wbicli he 'has already taken
many. A large quantity pf percussion caps were found
in a box, evidently stolen, and directed to a prominent
Secessionist in BnUimore. Evidently somebody deserves
to be hung. The ; provo3t marshal seizes everything
which he fieds on the persons of soldiers, or civilians
which has been brought from the army '

case of General Philip St. George Cooke
? ; . Washinctos, July 19,1862.
To fhe Editor of The Press ;
: Bir: As the commanding generals of our armies make,
it Bwms, no public reports of operations, a class of-army
coneeponoeutß'have monopolized the subject oi m>st iu
tense fitterest to thepuMic. They seem to Lave become
tbedispensorsof fame—tbearbiter* of leuutr. (ton, but they
are not responsible. They often haveonJy.tbe toast trust
worthy sourr.es of information, and' -Bometimea, with
none, fancy it their dnty or interest to write from imagi
nation. The publio maßt have perceived, also, that they
write in the interest—as the hirtd advocates of troops
from certain States and cities, aim of commanders who
somehow repay them. ■ , *
One of the tribe, in seeking to exaitan individual colo
nel of a Philadelphia regiment, has thought’it neoessary
to belie, at least, one officer of the army—Brigadier Ge
neral P. St. G. Cooke. He says, in Bubstance, that Colo
nel Averill succeeds Generals Oooke and Stoneman in
command or. the cavalry, they both baviug gone to Wash
ington, General Cooke having been “ ordered to the rear
after the recent battles," and intimates that the cavalry
did badly in a charge at tie battle of Gaines' Hill, run.
ning over the artillery, causing the loss of a battery, *o.
This is put in circulation, a libel affecting not only Gene
ral Oooke, hut another distinguished officer—Brigadier
General Stoneman.,
There ie no shadow of foundation of fact For the state-'
meat tbai General Cooke «* was ordeied to the rear after
the recent battles.” As for the rest, the simple truth is,
that in covering the rear andflank of the array from at
tacks on the 26ib and 27th of Jane, one of General
Cooke's brigades,underßrig.G&n. Emory, lost its commu
nications and retreated to Fort Monroe, (where it atilt
remains,) and after the battles and retreat to James river,
in which the remnants of the “ cavalry reserve ” per
formed with great devotion, the most unceasing and es
sential services, General Cooke, finding himßelf with less
than a colonel’s command, and bis only duty that of fur
nishing details for detached services, and with a prospect
of long inactivity in an entrenched camp, applied to be
ordered to Washington, with a view, no doubt, to a new
command, and accordingly he was so ordered.
Bo many grots misrepresentations have been, made of
the battle of Games 7 Hill, and particularly of its close—
(when there wob rather too warm work for any corres
pondent to bo present)—-and circulated, too, in malicious
gossip, that I take the libertyf without coasultiog*that
officer, to furnish you with a oopy of General Cooke’s
official report. , I cannot, in,conclusion, bat express
my surprise that after all the valuable and gallant ser
vices performed by General Cooke, from the time of lead
ing the advance from. Yorktown towards Biehmcmd, to
the time of the arrival of the army at the James river,
after its perilous flank,"movement, his name has been
scarcely mentioned by, a newspaper; eorrespondont/untU
this time, when he Is mentioned only to be viltified. etia
gallantry and daring, his patriotism and zeal, and his de-'
votloa and arduous labors in the services that are not the
least distasteful to a soldier, in a not very successful
campaign, deserve a very different treatment at the
hands of his country. Here iar the report of Friday’s
battle:

About six o’clock P. M. I observed all the infantry of

an unhappy misconception of the order, they advanced
close npon-their rear. While they were in motion. Col.

been posted four or five hundred paces in. our roar, ia the
obscurity of evening and of smoke and dust, opened a
fire of shrapnel, which fell among us instead of the ene-,
my. T then ordered the cavalry to retire, having been
informed a second or third time that Gen. Porter had br
dtred el retreat, and which! he has informed me he had
not done. The infantry were near tbe cover of a'rayine

HENDERSON, KY., OCCUPIED BY REBELS—EXCITE*
~MBNT ALONG THE LOWER OHIO.
[From the Svausvilte (Xnd. j Journal, of Friday.]
By the arrival of two citizens of Henderson, yesterday
noon, we have reliable information that the guerillas en
tered that place yesterday morning, in considerable force,
and hoisted the rebel flag on the court house and Han*
cock House.
The number (here, at latest accounts, was represented
at two hundred. A dinner was prepared Ter them by*
MrB.:Fiaher, of the Hancock House.
It was also stated that they, had thrown pickets across
the river, but this is doubted. -One thing is certain: the
people of Indiana will not suffer pur State to be invaded,
for a moment. Considerable excitement exists here, and
themilitary is rapidly organizing.
Later.—-A gentleman arrived from Henderson late .
last evening says the town is occupied by about forty
guerillas, who seemed to be enjoying themselves very
quietly.
He says the pitlzens of Henderson cheered them as,
they entered the town, and they were treated with great
consideration by many of the citizens.
•At latest accounts, Hon Arch. Dixon and others were
negotiating with Colonel Johnston to have the guerillas
, withdrawn from the town. ,
The steamer Commercial, bound from Memphis for thiß
city, remained below Henderson, Copt. Archer deeming
it unsafe to pasß that point.
THE "FIGHT AT CYNTHIANA, KENTUCKY— OUR LOSS
125 . KILLED AND WOUNDED—MORGAN’S LOSS
FROM 60 TO 80— DESTRUCTION OF BRIDGE, ETC.
[From the Cincinnati Commercial, 21st.]
We obtain from Oapt. William Glass, who arrived in
this city at 4 o’clock yesterday morning, the following
narrative tf.the fight at Gynthiana:,
Bis force consisted of sixteen men,al2-pound cannon,
caisson, and ammunition, together with eight steam*fire
engine horses from this city.
The train arrived at Cynthiana at 2 o’clock P. ML,
and the men were ordered by Colonel Landrum to go to
Judge rerrin’s (Secesh) to dinner. After,dinner Ooi.L.
ordered them to hlrch up, and started out to show them ,
tke positions, though no battle was expected at that time.
They moved out on what might be. termed a scouting ex
pedition, croßßingthe Licking bridge,on the Georgetown,
pike/ CoL Lacdrcm, Capt. Glass, and Lieut. Moore
were together. When they got about half a mile beyond
the bridge our pickets came riding in In hot haste, crying
out that Morgan was coming in force to attack the town.
Col. Landrum then. order*dtbem to return; recrossing
the bridge,- I he gun was posted at the Intersection of two
streets, about six hundred yards from the bridge, com
manding it, the street intersecting Main at that distance
from tbe bridge.
As Morgan afterwards told he commanded this
division in /person, with four hutidred men: - As they
made their, appearance, through the bridge, Captain G.
opened, on them with grape. Morion replied with a
brass howitzer, firing shell. Tlie rebels were here held in
check about fifteen minutes.
Meantime, a second division of Morgan’s force made
its appearance, at the head of Ptke street, from an oppo
site direction. Wheeling his gun, he fired at them there,
immediately afterwards opening on the first division
again.. Pretty near the same time r they made their ap
pearance upon the north, coming dpwn the hill into
Main street, beside Camp Frazer, ’(where the 35th Ohio,
Colonel Yaoderveer, encamped when that regiment took
possession of Cynthiana,);. Seeing himself surrounded,
Captain Glass told hi i men to disperse and save thein
seives; which they did. each one findiag the best hiding
place he conld. A company of Home Guards, number
ing about fifty, held the band that approoched from the :
north in check a little .while. These Gnardß were posted
on the Camp Frazer hillside. - * ■ .
Morgan, with two men, set fire to the depot, a large
frame build mg, which wbb burned to the ground. About
.three hundred union mußketa, were taken land. broken
over the wheels of platform carß. A large number were
piled up near the court house and .burned; among. them
were rifles. Mr. Thos. C Ware (father of our city so
licitor), an old citizen'of Cynthiana, and a true Union
man, was shot through the back of the head, and killed,
while fighting on Pike street. Froml4tol6 men. were
buried in Desha’s cornfield, acroßS Licking. bridge. 25
rebels were killed in the streets. 17 Union citizens were
kilted and wounded. Three of 'Glass’ men were missing.
He feels sure of the safety of all but one—Tom; Barry, ;
who was asleep in the depot when the fight began,
t After the fight,- Thursday evening, Morgan paroled
about 200. men he had disarmed, including- about half of
Billy Glass’party . Glass himself escaped, was secreted
(together with other#) by a gbid Union lady. He re
mained secreted until eleven o’clock next day. The bulk
of the men had been under guard in the Court House alb •
night. ' When they came out Glass thought be would be
looked upon asparoled, and ventured among them. -
The Cincinnati steam fire-engine horses were run into
Mr. Gray’s stable, and several of Mr. Glass’ boys stripped
tbeir coats and shirts off upon Morgan’s approach and
played hostler, by which sharp trick they deceived tbe
thieves. Morgan ordered them to saddle and bridle the
horses- and afterward took possession;- -He deemed to
TikeTbem very well, and told Captain Glass afterwards
that he wished the • fire department of Cincinnati would
send him some more. V ;
-A company of cavalry, to the number: of fifty, posted
on Main street, a few yards to the rear of Captain Glass’
position, conducted themselves shamefully* as they broke
and lied at the first fire..

'SENT.
It 1b known that about one.hundred and twenty of
Morgan’s troops appeared before Paris on Thursday, and
demanded asurrender. A bandfnlof citizens defied him,
and replied to his message that they womd fight. After
riding around, reconnoitring awhile, tboy conclude to
withdraw. Bepeated telegrams were meanwhile de
spatched to General Ward at Lexiogton, stating that
Morgan had appeared in person before Paris, and the
citizens would defend the place until reinforcements could
arrive frem Lexington.. General Ward replied that no
troops boiild be spared from there.
Alter; Morgan .left he was followed by Captain Wads
worth’s company, consisting of fifty men, on horseback.
When they got to COntreville they learned that Morgan
had gone to Cyntbiona.. Captain Wadsworth returned to
Paris, and telegrams urgentlycallmg for reinforcements
were again despatched to LexfngtOß, but without avail.
Onr informant, a resident of Paris, who wasin Lexing
ton on Thursday, states that Ward was incapacitated for
service at the: critical time. It is sow well known that
Morgan moved from Cynthiana toward Pariß on Friday
afternoon, and reached; that place at ten o’clock the same
night, wb*re he traveled for a wnile at wilt
When General Green Clay Smith took command at
Lexington, measures were soon taken to help Paris, and
three regiments from Lexington and two from Louisville
arrived.there just after Morgan left for Winchester. It
can easily be seen that a prompt response from Lekiug
ton might have secured this notorious marauder. ;r

[From the Keokuk: Gaie City.], >
On Sunday,; at" two o’clock, tho robels, two hundred
and ntty, strong, under Colonel Porter, in company with
Major Smith,' Captain Gain, Stacy, and Dunn, surprised
the town of -Memphis (the Union men were very careless
in not watching the roads during the-day), and took
every man in town prisoner. They escorted them all to
the court house, and placed a strong guard over them.
After a few minutes Colonel Porter and . Major Smith
came In and were informed by the Secessionists' as to who*
was a Union man and who was a Secessionist They let
their friends pass out. The rebel soldiers then searched
tbe houses for arms, powder, and plunder. Every place
was closely examined.' Union men’# stores were opened,
and the contents taken out. : This plunderingwas carried:
on for several hours. They ripped feather-beds open,'
strewed things over, the flewny and upset flour barrels.
They took eighty; two United States muskets, rifles, re
volvers, two boxes of eome'powder, alt of the
clothes of the soldiers that they had sent home from the
army, overcoats, blankets, saddles, bridles, and every-:
thing they could use.-• They swore in'a great many, and
paroled the soldiors they found in town on discharge and
furlough. / r
After seven o’clock they had pressed two wagons load
ed with plunder, which, they, said themselves was the best
they had. ‘ They then started off on the road for Lancas
ter,;and took Dr. William Aylward and Captain Wm.
Dawson, of the State militia, along with them. Before
they could take Capt. Dawson he was slightly wounded
on the right side of bis neck. I suppose theytook over'

some six of eight musket shots. I retreated, and started
for Upton. -My impression then was that Dr. Aylward

: Iis ; DIANAi > OLiS, v July 20.—The news of the rebel raid

tbeir hirelings to ruie over you. It hai crossed tbe At

position of Kentucky wiih wonder and astonishment.
Down in tbe sunny South, amongst those who’ ought to
be j our brothers, you have become a by-word and a
scoff. The Kentucky army have turned their anxious
eyeß to their Dative State, and at each new outrage
would listen for the tocsin of war; but they listened aad
hoped against hope until tbe last ray has expired. The
Ccnfederate Cabinet and Congress have looked for some
movement indicating a cesire for freedom: but they
looked in vain, and think Kentucky ioßt.

man is John C. Brecklor dgo—tbe hero, the statesman,

that a mother bears to her offspring, does he regard
Kentucky ; with the same anxious care has he watched
her. He hai asked bis Government and the world to sus

-INTERESTING FROM FORT SCOTT—THE LATE YIO
TORY AT LOCUST GROVE,
Ajl correspondent of the Leavenworth Conservalivs f
writing from the “ Camp near Grand river, Cherokee
nation,”on the SthinsL, says:
The 2d Brigade, utder thecommand ofGol. Judson.
arrived at Cabin Creek July 2d. Tbe Ooione! received in
formation that the enemy, 500 strong, under Col Stan
watie, the notorious *rebeL leader oF the hostile Ohero
kees, had left Cabin Creek the day previous, tafciag a
northerly course, but had sent this tfupply and baoeaaa
train to Locust Grove. Col. Judson Immediately directed
one section of Capt, Allen’s battery, a detachment of ln
fantry belonging to the 10th Kansas, consisting of de
tails from tbe various companies, amounting fa all to
sixty-eight men, with about 200 mounted Indians of tha
inbeß of Creeks, Cberokees, and Semisoles, of tbe Ist
Indian Begiment, commanded by Lieut Col. Walters to
be in readiness at two o’clock P. M.
Coi. Weer marched with the command at the time spe
cified, and crotsed^ Grand river at Landrum Ford, at 4
A. M. next morning, sfeer a fatiguing march. The ad
vance guard (cavalry) soon came upon a paTty of 25 or 30
rebels, at tbe premises of Meters. B. M. Adair and John
Davie. The guard immediately'charged, scattering the
enemy in ail directionßlike chaff before the wind, wound
ing one and taking tea .prisoners! The mam body of the
Union forces coming up, nrgtjg|ded immediately to the
rebel camp. ; The entire rebriSgtSi was in a very short
time either dispersed or loss was but three
kilD d, one of them accidentally, by our own fire.
,Jf have taken one hundred and six prisoners* and
kilkd several. We also took a large number of horses
and. ponies; about fitteen hundred head-of cattle, tbiny
six loadtd mule teams, and a large quantity of camp and.
garrisen equipage; also, five hundred stand of anna of
all descriptions.
Under date of tlie 11th instant, the same correspondent
■Writes:
Some interesting details reached me this morning from
a reliable gentleman now with the expedition. His letter
is dated Camp Phillips, eight miles below South Spring
river. Of course, yon know where that is!
Colonel Bitcbie, with part of , his Indian regiment, in
all 500 men, bad a fight with a greally superior Becesh
force under'Kams, no less than 1,400 men. The rebels
were beaten and put to flight. At the same time the co
lonel captured a portion oi their baggage train and a
large amount of cßttle and horses. These are now o&
their way to this post.
Colonel Bitchie has reliable information that John Boss
was about to join the expedition with fifteen hundred mea
under bis command—« about to come in with bis war
riors,” is the expression used:
In addition to the information contained in tho above
letters, we ltarn from Mr, North, who has just arrived
from the camp, that Co!. Solomon, of the 9th Wisconsin,
took forty prisoners. There were about four hundred
Indians, Cherckees and Osages, who came into our camp.
They were mounted and armed, and came in with white
flags and carrying their guns with the muzElea down.
About two hundred and negroes, the'property of
rebel half-breeds, are now on their way to Fort Scott
Gen. McCall on tie Recent Battles.
From a letter, written by Lieutenant Beatty toihe edi
tor of the West Chester^ Republicans we make the follow
teg extracts. The letter ia dated Carlisle, July I2th:
I have been so illand prostrate since my return home
&b to be unable to write, or I would have sooner made
you, w orn I know to be a warm friend of the general*
acquainted with some particulars which may be of inter
est to his family. At an early stage of the battle, Gen
McCall’s staff became, from assignments to dutyelse
w here and various caudes, entirely separated from him,
with the exception of myself/ 1 alone of the acting aids,
remaining with him. This imposed upon me very arduous
duty. .
About six o’clock F. I I rcceiveda riflebal] thriragh
the thigh of my right teg. The General urged me to go
to the rear and find a surgeon at once. Bofc as I felt no
bone was broken, I determined not to leave him while I
had tbe strength to remain on my horse. The battle
continued to rage, the, Beserves,” worn down by the
labor of the two previous battles, long inarches and lose
of sleep and feeling that fresh rebel troops were con
stantly pouring on tho field, began to yield the unequal
conteit. But the General redoubled Ms efforts to keep
their ranks firm. Aeain and again they rallied. lam
sure he felt proud of their good conduct—tbe noble « Be
serves”—whom he had organized and given a year’s
training and discipline, and who in these last five days
were realizing his highest expectations.
: All at once he tnrned round to me and said he was
struck, aßd the dull sound of the ball, striking, as I
thought, the upper part of his breast bone, had not es
caped my ear. I immediately and earnestly urged his
going to the rear to a surgeon, and tbe horses’heads were
turned ihrtbat direction. We had not proceeded far,
however, before be succeeded in getting his shirt opened
at the neck, and remarked to me . that he could feel no
blood or any evidence of a wound. I also examine k and
saw' no blood or any sign of the skin being penetrated.
Expressing the opinion that he had only been struck by
a spent ball, which had done him no injury, he Immedi
ately turned his horse and declared his intention of re
turning to the battle field, but enjoining upon me to seek
a surgeon and h&ve my wound dressed without delay.
ulus ihree mounted orderlies who had been with us X
admonished to remain faithfully by the geueraf, aad
their fidelity ia proven by the fact that thoir fate is also
Involved in the same uncertainty. As near as I can re
member, it was nearly or quite sunset when we parted,
and the indications were that the battle was drawing to
a close, although there was still heavy firing.
General McCall had gone but a short distance on hia
return to the field when an officer, who had been pointed
out to me at the previous battles as an aid to General
McClellan, came riding rapidly forward, announcing
that reinforcements were comtog up to the assistance of
the Beeerves. The information I kcew would be most
gratifying, and I therefore stopped the aid and, pointing
to General McCall, begged that he would inform the
general of the reinforcements. He immediately rode for
ward and they entered into conversation, a few momenta
after which X sawthem ride rapidly together to the bat
tle-field. This was my last sight of our brave general.
LETTER FROM GENERAL M’CALL—SAFETY OF
MAJOR BIDDLE.
Yesterday morning Mr. Thomas A. Biddle, of this ctiy,
received the following letter from General McCall:
. Bichmond,Virginia, >
“Tobacco House Prison, July 9,1852. {
u Mt Dear Harry : I enclose you herewith a note from
your brother Harry, the only reply I have had to two
netes written to him.
“On my arrival inthe city X was politely offered quar
ters at the Spottswood Hotel, where I remained three
days. While there, on the 3d inst, a Tennessean called
with a message from Harry, who, I learned then, for the
first time, was a prisoner. It bad been reported to me
on the field, on the 30th ulk, that he was wounded white
returning from the.left, whither he had carried an order
from myself; but I thought he had been carried off by
our own men.
*‘l at once wrote to Gen. Winder, requesting permis
sion to send a carriage for him; fo reply to which I re
ceived tbe enclosed, notifying me of his arrival at Ohim
borsao Hospital, No. 3. . lat once* requested permisrion
to visit him; but this was not deemed consistent with
established regulations.
.*‘l trust he will soon be well enough to travel, and
perhaps visit his family on parole. Do be pleased to ex
press to Mrs. Biddle my sincere and deep sympathy: but,
at the same time, my sincere and deep conviction that it
will not be long before her husband joins her, with all hia
honors.
:“ My division had a desperate fight that day. I was
under fire all day, encouraging my men and urging them
on against superior numbers. lam under great concern
-for the other members of my staff. Scheetz and Lewis
both left me to deliver orders and did not return! Late
in the day Beatty was shot in the teg and left me with
but two orderlies. ‘
“ The Xteserves fought nobly, but they are terribly cut
up. Simmons, commanding first brigade, killed; Meade,
commanding second brigade, wounded, and a large num
ber of officers with them.
“Afterdark, the: battle .still-raging on the right, I
brought forward some 500 men, rallied. by Lieutenant
Colonel Thompson, and riding in advance, in tbe obscu
rity of the evening, I rode right into the 47th 'Virginia,
drawn up. under some trees, and so ended the chapter.
“GEO. A. MoCALL.”
