THE WAR PRESS, (PUBLISHED WEEKLY.) Tsi War Press will bo sent to subscribers by mail (per annum in advance) at ....sB*oo Three Copies « '■ S.O& jrj T 0 it (t (i B*oo «j en u &nd cannot at present be far from the outposts of this army; whioh is fully prepared for his coming, being most admirably encamped In line of battle, ready for any emergency. No doubt is entertained but that a hostile encounter is imminent, and before this reaches you the boom of cannon may resound through the valleys and over the Blue Ridge in this section of Virginia. The pronunoiamiento of General Pope has gone forth, that retreat is abo lished from the. records of the Army of Virginia, and everything around us indicates that “ skedad dling” is an . obsolete term in this neighborhood, where every hill-side is girt with tho sinews of war, and resounding with the b«sy hum of war’s prepa rations. Our war cry is onward, and onward wo mustgo. Oar troops are in excollent spirits, impa tient to meet the foe, who no doubh will soon learn to act upon tho defensive instead of the offensive. Their confidence in their generals is unlimited. This is no idle prediction, and I can only properly say that I am borne out in the assertion by every thing I see. More inmy next. “Chip.” [Special Correspondence of . The Pres?.] Culpeper Court House, July 22, 1552. I have been fortunate enough to arrive on the outermost walls of eur possessions in this portion of Virginia, on route hither passing through two small towns, Sperryville and Woodville, both of them situate on tho piko leading from Little Washington to Richmond. Nover, in all my travo's, have I seen so poor a country as I have met with since I left Alexandria. I freely confess I have in vain looked for the boasted cultivated lands and farms. What they one® were I cannot imagine; what they arc is too apparent. It is an old Scriptural warn ing, that the sins of the parent shall be visited upon the children, even unto tbe third and fourth gene ration. Truly Virginia has not to wait to see the punishment inflicted upon other generations; her children of to-day are surely reaping tbe reward of their disobedience and trc&ohery. Not being pre sent upon tho spot, your readers cannot understand i tho bitter wail of remorso that is forced through the ashen lips of many of the people of Virginia, as they witnoßS the slow but certain and repeated manifestations of tho power of tho Government of the United States. I overheard a conversation between two bitter Secesh ladies this evening, in tho course of which one o.f them exclaimed: ,f My . God, we (meaning the South) do not realize our j situation. I had no idea that Jbhe Yankees were • possessed of one-half the power they have already exhibited"” Thus, you see, we are already forcing the traitors to acknowledge the power of tbe Go vernment whose laws they have to sot at do . fiance. As sure as there is a God above us, they are destined to feel more keenly the punishment of their black-hearted treachery, and when, like my-‘ self, you have witnessed the unmitigated treason of the South, as exhibited in thoir conversation and actions, you will bo induced, with mo, to exclaim, i “Anjcn” to.any action of our Government which ; will most effectually crush out this rebellion, mam | tain the supremacy of our laws, and enable us, as a nation, to reassert our claim among the nations of tho earth; to be entitled the first in war, the first in peace, and first in the liberty of mankind. Culpeper Court House is qaite a pretty village, of some 1,200 inhabitants, situate about two and a half miles from the Rappahannock river. Liko all Virginia villages, it wears an antiquated appoar anoe, indicative of the disposition of the people to tenaciously ding to old customs, ideas, and man ners. This place is the outpost of our troops in this quarter, notwithstanding tho reports of some of our hearsay correspondents of . our having occupied Goidonsville, and wrought so mueh iujary to pro perty there. We have never advanced beyond OraDgo, a small town twenty-tw:omilos beyond Cul peper Court Houso, and seven miles from Gordons ville. Our occupation of this town, Orange, took place on Thursday of last week. The Ist Michigan and the sth New York cavalry were sent out on a reconnoiseance. They proceeded as far os Orange, and took possession of that place before tbe inhabi tants had the least idea of their immediate vicinity. On the next afternoon the enemy, numbering two brigades, supposed to be under the command of Enroll, made their appearance upon the outskirts of the town. Our forces engaged them in a skirmish, and the 11 rebs ” fell back. Tho next morning the enemy reattaoked our troops, and, owing to their superior numbers, forced us'to fall back to Culpe per. Company A, of the sth New York, was cap tured by tho enemy, it is alleged through the care lessness of some of its officers, who would not be in ti uced to believe the enemy wero • near at. hand in anything like force. Thoy were completely sur rounded by the ” robs,” and captured as above stated. TVe captured fifteen of the enemy, killed five, and wounded three. As an illustration of the daring of some of our officers, the conduct of the first company of Vir ginia Cavalry exhibited an amount of coolness and daring that is quite refreshing when so many of our men flaunt their feathers so gaily when the cry is £{ all is quiet along the lines,” but who Jgnoininiously show themselves cowards and pol troons in hastening home either immediately be fore, or unwarrantably soon after, danger is en countered. The oompnny to which I have referred went on SB far as Louisa, twelve miles below Gor donsville, in tho very midst of tho enemy’s lines, and captured one lieutenant and two men, bringing them into Culpeper Court House; on their part, losing none in killed, wounded, or missing. - A reconnoisance, in force, went out to-aight un der the immediate command of General Hatch. Their direction was towards % The onomy is cautiously vigilant, but with all their vigilance their movements are closely watched, and rovealed to our general officers. All along" the lines, from Warrenton to Culpeper Court House, our troops are impatient to meet the insolent foe. An incon trovertible conviction in the justness and holiness of our cause, an unlimited confidence in our com manders, backed by good discipline and arms, must result in victory. This army has had all their tents taken away, its baggage stored in Washing ton, and is* now bivouacking; the articles of food are limited io variety, in order to facilitate irons* portationond accelerate its movements. The ar ticle of meat is entirely supplied from cattle on the hoof, and is rationed to the men in bountiful quan- titles in order to compensate for the reduction in other articles. Muoh has been said by correspondents of a per sonage who has obtained a groat notoriety at tho present time, and who has figured in the columns of our newspapers in a great variety of characters, as well as costumes. I moan Miss Belle Boyd, in the light of whoso presence I was fortunate enough to luxuriate a short time Binoo. Aftorthatinterview, can safely assert that in her personnel, mental and recorded accomplishments and virtues, Thavo failed to discover any of those qualities which enti tle her to bo classed among the Di Vernons, Joan D’Arcs, with whom so many correspondents, in their unaccountable faoination have takon so much pains to class her. To sum up her virtues and qualities in a fow words, I can say that her greatest olaim to publio notioo is her unblushing impudence, unsustained by any of these womanly qualities that most do entitle the gentler sex to the respect and admiration of the world. She has but an ordinary degree of intelligence, a passable form, and an or dinary rustic face.. I will emphatically assert that in an afternoon walk on Chestnut street, you will meet with scores of women possessed with more claims to public notice, and more worthy of notorie* 1 ty, than the much ado about nothing ” Belle Boyd. In all probability Gen. Goary will havo added to his brigade several Pennsylvania regiments, making it exclusively representative of the Keystone State. ■This will promote an esprit de corps in pride of State that will be productive of good results, of which we have had sueh a' brilliant example in the lato achievements of the Reserve .Corps before Rich mond. It is to bo hoped that no delay is indulged in in assigning to Gon. Goary a command equal to bis rank. It is a marvel I cannot understand why it is that the Government has so long refused to as sign to Gen. Geary a force commensurate with the arduous duties he has been called upon to encounter and perform. While other brigades, with full com mands, are lying in inglorious easo, Gen. Geary, with a mere handful of men,- is assigned to the post of danger and responsibility. . An act of pure jus tice to a well-tried officer, a faithful public servant, an unflinching patriot, and a beloved commander, it seems to me, calls for prompt action upon tho part of those in authority, whose motto, as lately enun ciated is, merit first and favoritism afterwards. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. (Special Correspondence of The Press.] Fortress Monroe, July 2T, 18G2. APPEARANCE OF OLD POINT. : It may not be uninteresting to your readers to know that this spot is reached by the steamers Lou isiana and Adelaide, each on alternate days, from the foot of Concord street, Baltimore. They leave nominally at 5 P. M., but often lator than six, being d ependent on the arrival of a hulf past throe o’clock train from Washington. They reach the Portress on the following morning botween seven and eight. The Louisiana, till chartered by the Government, ran between Baltimore and Norfolk as a passenger boat, aDd is handsomely fitted up. The Adelaide, upon which I arrived this morning, ran between Portland, Maine, and- St. Johns, New Brunswick. Its long rows of state rooms in the upper cabin, glisten with white paint and gilded ornamentation, radiated beautifully by the sun’srays through rose bued toptigbts, and recalling pleasure trips on bright summer days, when peace reigned. The . roof yet echoes to the mind with the gay laugh of youthful excursionists. In the velvet cushioned obairF, once occupied by lively groups, I saw seri ous officers, returning from expired furloughs, or smileless women hurrying to watch over sick and wounded husbands, brothers, sons; while among them might be found a mother, with stealing tears, weepiDg by fits aDd starts, at thoughts of her boy, crippled for life, or gasping in the last stages of disease. Among the passengers were Union ladies and gentlemen, from Norfolk, who had been north ward on various errands, and who had, doubtless, pcouniarily suffered in many ways by tho war. Theso were also serious. Gravity, in fact, was everywhere seen. All, of coutso, were not positively sad, but there was evidently nothing to excite risibility, and T did not hear a laugh during tho passage. The boat was by no means so crowded as is the case on her return trip, and r no military notabilities were on board, except General Dan. Butterfield, with Lieut.. Cel. McClure, of the 61st Pennsylvania Regiment. Captain W. H. Crawford, of the 6lst Pennsylvania, and Lieut. C. Sohooh, of tho 106th ‘Pennsylvania, were the only ether offioers from our State. On arrival, the civilian passengers were murohed under a guard to the provost marshal, to swear allegiance, and theneo prooeoded to the Hygeia Hotel, tho only locality whore board can be procured. It is a long, low range of two and three-story white wooden buildings, agreeably flanked by embowering trees and flowering shrubs. It is well kept by the- Messrs. Willard, of Wash ington, but has bad its advantages lately marred by an appropriation of a portion to hospital pur poses. A simple partition divided the patients from the dining-room. A smell of typhoid mixes badly with one’s dinner; they are preferable sepa rate; nor does the sight of a dead man, carried through tbe garden, enhance the luxury of viands. All this has now p&SEcd. The majority of the pa tients have been removed ; but few are left, and they will soon follow. REINFORCEMENTS FOR M’CLBLLAN, Tbe steamer Express arrived this morning from Yorktown, with two companies of the 3d Regiment United States Artillery, and leaves this evening for Harrison’s Landing, following the steamers North America and South America, which wont up yes terday with the remainder of the regiment. They were with Gen. Stoneman during the “ week of battles,” and had their retreat cut off, compelling them to take refuge in Yorktown. They state that tbe rebels made a descent last Wednesday night on Gloucester Point, forcibly impressed a number of white inhabitants into their army, and compelled a number of negroes to accompany them. They also set fire to a quantity of lumber. The regular boat to-day from Harrison’s Landing reports mat ters in statu qiio, with tho health of the troops steadily recuperating, and a general desire to move forward. FIVE GENERALS ON ONE BOAT. The steamer Hero arrived at 5 o’clock this after noon, from Harrison’s Landing, with Gens. Hal lcck, Dix, Burnside, Meigs, Cullum, and Col. Kel ton, of Gen. Halleck’a staff, who have all returned apparently in a gay humor, from a conference with Gen McClellan, and an Inspection of his troops. Gen. Hallock is about fivo feet ten inches in height, stoops awkwardly, and wore with his uniform coat a brown straw hat and yellow pantaloons. Thoy leave to-night, by speciol boat, for Washington. ThoYSorfolk boat arrived, as usual, laden with fragrant peaches, and sable contraband damsels, with immense circular gold ear rings, and brings news of the arrest of one John Stevenson, a hatter, with an associate, in the act of carrying about a thousand letters to Richmond, by way of the Great Bridge and Dismal Swamp. This was his third trip, and he had realized $2. GO in Confederate money upon each letter hitherto carried. Himself and friend are in jail. T. M. N. [From an Occasional Correspondent.] Harrison’s Landing, July 24,1862. RECONNOITRING MALVERN HILL. In compliance with, an order from General Mc- Clellan, Colonel Gregg ordered out one squadron of the Bth Pennsylvania Cavalry, with Company IC, of the 6th - Regulars, all under command of Captain P. Keenan, of the Bth Pennsylvania Ca valry. They took a direct northern course through the fields from the James-river road to tho Charles city road; thonoe north* by the Shirley road, a dis tance of two miles; then Miming to the left, march ed through a dense wood, a distance of two and a half miles, direot for Malvern Ilill battle-field. On arriving at the skirt of the woods, the rebel pickets were in view, and exhibited no little surprise and confusion at the appearance of our forcos from this quarter, as we were, in fact, in rear of their lines. Upon our approach they withdrew to their reserve, and again did the fiag of the Union wave m tri umph over the battle-field "of'Malvern Kill, .We thoroughly reconnoitred the hill, whioh wo had been led to believe was occupied by the enemy in force, and were agreeably surprised when we found but one regiment of cavalry and one section of artillery, with which they gavo us a salute, but with no effect on our ranks as far as diminishing of numbers was concerned, nor daunting the courage of our men. After fully complying with the orders iJtned, and the exchanging of a few shots, or, in other words, endeavoring i;o reason with thorn by the use of Sharp’s carbines—-a favorite in our army and a source of annoyance to the enemy—we re tired in good order. Upon our retiring, by the way wo had gainod the battle-field. Major Beve rage, of the Bth Illinois Cavalry; with one squad ron from his regiment, gained the hill by the Tur key-island Bridge—succeeding in capturing one rebel officer, who was perfectly non-plussed, as he admitted that oar movements wore very success ful—nevertheless, very mysterious On the issuing of‘the order to reconnoitre the points named, it was considered an undertaking of great risk and of vaat importance to us—in view of which all tho forees that Col. Gregg might demand were at hia service; But the plan arranged by Col. Gregg, from an accurate map of the roads, and the easiest means of access thereto, in a direction from which they would least expect us; was prepared by Capt. Keenan.; he thought that it could be accom plished with a small foroe, and it has resulted favo rably. ! Slowly, bat surely, we are gaining ground; our pioket lines are almost daily being extended) and by, extending them, and our piokots true to the trust reposed in them, the holding of their posts. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 29, 1862. the enemy have again recommenced picket shoot ing, and if they persist in such work, many, many of our boys must fall, who rooeive strict orders, on every relief being posted, “ not to fire on the rebel pickets.” a SKir.Mian Tho Eighth Pennsylvania Cavalry are daily on the field hunting for rebels, and performing picket duty. News has just been reported of a skirmish they have had to-day near Malvern Hill, result ing in the killing of some twenty rebel troopers. As an offieial report has not as yet boon handed in, and tho parties still on tho field, we will acquaint you of the particulars in an early letter. More anon. Company Q. Arrival of More Prisoners.

Model; lan’s army, has forwarded a copy of tho RicbmondJsrc guirer of the 25th inst., from which we take the follow ing: ; \ 1 NORTHERN ENLISTMENTS AT AN END. Private accounts, by persons lately from the North, concur with the iniormalic-n obtained from the Northern press,' that voluntary enlistments are,there virtually at an end, or at.least in a stale of suspension. Premium is being piled on premium, and bounty on bounty, to tempt the needy-and the mercenary; bnt thus far with very little effect. The opinion is generally obtaining at the North, that nothing but a compulsory (Zra/t will enable the Yankee Governors to meet hiucoth’s last requwttion. Whether the temper of the people would endure that, would remain to he seen. It is not likely that it would. Men will sobmit to anything, and will: honor the most extreme call of ; their Government, when necessary to defend their liberties and their homes.. Bat when they are violently commanded to gd"ou an aggressive war against a people who only, ask to be let alone, but who nmy not be attacked wiJb impunity—nay, in the frnitlesa and inglorious attempt to conquer Whom, aquarter of a million ot the invaders have camp or hospital, or •have been maimed for life,—the question becomes a very grave one, and Jonathan, accordingly, shakes his head, and may perhaps rebel. . . - : > Wu mußt sot, however, on our part* presume anything againit the enemy. We may, very properly, encourage ourselves with all rational hopes j hut these hopes are traitors if they cause u*io relax our zeal On the con trary, they should animate our endeavors, and energize our operations, .and add to bur means. Bet our brave men rally in full force under the lead of opr 'generals, and let these last press operations with renewed and sleeplePß activity. This is our opportunity—not for sleep,,but tor energetic and effective operations; Be: us improyeit.

NORTHERN AND CONFEDERATE FEELING TOWARDS ENGLAND. We have been equally, surprised and pleased with the accuracy and ability shown by the British press in their discussions of the American war Ooaeidering that they receive little but Yankee newspapers, and have heard only one side, we wonder at the success with which they have hit upon the real merits of the contest, and the acuteness with which they, have, in the main, eliminated the truth of history from a mass of falsehood. Not the least successful amlprominent in this work has been the London Tiroes In a recent Issue of this journal, how ever, we discover an exception to its usual astuteness. An article is copied from the New York Journal of Com mcrce, in wbftti it is said: “ There is, to-day, one suati. merit in which the whole American people, North and South, seem to agree, and that is a sentiment of hostility to England. The South is full of it, and fierce in its ex pressions. The Norton full, of it, but silent. Wt state this as a truth, ahdwe regret it profoundly.” The Tiroes chooses to accept this as a correct statement not only of Northern, but also of Southern feeling to wards England, and is candid enough to say that Eng. land has done nothing to deserve Southern favor. No iatsehood which might be uttered by a Northern journalist could now amaze us. We: feel no surprise, therefore, at the combined mendacity and impudence with which the Journal of Commerce undertakes to be come the mouth-piece of our feelings for the British peo ple. But we do wonder it did not occur to the JEngdsh: editor, tbat our enemies have an obvious interest in mis representing us abroad, and that the feeling of national antipathy or regard might bo much better ascertained through the declarations of our own press and pahJc officials, the teaUmm; of British citizens and naval offi cers who visit our shores, and last, not least, through that oi the intelligent consuls, who represent British Interests in the Confederate States, and who may be reasonably presumed to know tho state and tendencies of public sen timent. : All these sour cos of information wou d give broad and unqualified contradiction to the Yankee journalist, who assumes to speak equally for the Northern mob, and for the people who have shaken off the rule of that mob forever. . .; There is not, on the part of our people or our Govern ment, any feeling of hostility towards Britain, but, on the'contrary, a sinceie desire to cultivate relations of amity and goodwill. We have Bent them a minister,. charged with ,tho duly of representing tbe m*nte of our people for England; and Mr. Mason'ls not the man to speak a false and hypocritical message, even if we were base enough to send one. We are ready to fonn a treaty- of amity and friendship with England ■whenever too shall be sufficiently alive to her own in terests to enter into such relations. We desire io see be tween them and us a general interchange of the products of their industry‘aod ourß. ’ * have, cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco, tar, pitch, &c., in large surplus to send abroad. England has manufac tures of wool, cotton, glass, iron, steel, leather, &c , for all of which we offer such a market as she will not -find elsewhere on the face of the earth.. We are sensible that It is greatly for our mutual advantage that this inter change of products shall take place. It is not our fault tbat it does not now exist, but we know that it will one day be established, when Lincoln shall have fully learn ed the policy of his present endeavor, and shall have mads up his mind to devour his chagrin If that delay has been postponed by tbe; strange delay of the British Government in tecbgmziug our independence, it is not our fault, but may bea subjectfor English statesmen to 'consider.,.. -r- -/ Nor have we any unkind feelings for. the people of the British Isles, apart from merely public relations. We know tbeir virtues and their faults.. In spite of the latter they are a brave, manly, and a truth-loving people. They have a high ; sense: of honor and fidelity io their public and private engagements. We should have little fear of being cheated either by tl e British ruler or the British tradesman.. We do not forget that we are mainly sprung from British loins, aod that the essential features and bulwarks of our liberty were derived from them, and wrested, by the valor of their ancestors and oars, from the grasp of arbitrary power We claim an equal right io boast of Shakspeare and Milton. Oar literature is the same... We have no officious suggestions to make in regard to their institutions. For onraelves we have chosen re publican institutions; but from the wild and brutal* li cense by which the tuob dominates, as at the.. North, over reason and individual right, and in the name of freedom, enforce s the worst of Asiatic bondage, we trust we are se cure as well by our Constitution as by the temper ofour people. Wbilo cherishing our own form of Government, we do net seek to force it upon others, or contend that it is the best that can be devised for ad peoples Nearly eighty years ago we chose to sever our coonection with the British crown. We believe both England and Ame rica now sustain the act ; but not a few of us would now admit That our Southern forefathers did notmendmaitors much bj an alliance with Yankees. . Itia proper to aav, however, that the couraeof England in the present war has given rise to just complaint" The refusal to. allow the privateers of both belligerents to sell their prizes in British ports bore hardly on as, and did the North not a particle of harm. . The declai ation of neutrality, however honestly meant, has, in the opinion even of ctndid Britons, proved a one-sided business. The consent cf. our Government to certain of the provi sions of the treaty of Paris was asked and obtained; but tho very Power which sought that consent has recognized a which, tried by its rules, was void. Tlie re cognition ©f independence has been delayed beyond all just precedent or sound reason, although- from S flrst' to last British papeis and British statesmen have seen and ' declared that subjugation was impos sible, and our ultimate, independence certain. Why did they not. officially act upon their convictions?; Tried by their own declarations theywere strangely in consistent. In the reason of things, it.was not to be ex pected that tbe Norpi would abandon the struggle so long os tbe ‘European Powers; by their delay in recog nizing ns, signified a grave doubt as to'the final resniti All ibis baa chafed our.people, but it him not the Sintiment of animosity. We knew that the North canid not subdue us; we knewthat the bubble of Yankee credit would burst; and we knew that recognition, though slow, was sure to come. We could afford to be patient; and there was a gratification in the thought that . we should vrin it. . r We knew, too, that the hearts of the English and French people were with ha. At the very outset they protested against the threat to murder prisoners taken on our privateers. The barbarities of the North; the im prisonment of ladies and con-combatants, the spoliation of our property, tbe acts of attainder and confiscation, the brutal project to. consign the women; of a groat .city to the lusts of Northern soldiery, the great crime of attempting to i educe fourteen large States to slavery, have been denounced lby . the Eoglisb peo ple and - press in tones which show fitly their balnd: and disgust for the wrong-doer. This protest ■may not be meant to help us, but it does help us ; for ours is tbe cause of free government, and humanity, and civilization, &nd decency, as well as of Confederate independence and words in behalf of these are words of good cheer and encouragement to us in our perilous strag gle with the powerful end brutal enemy who sets them all at naught. We are only eight-millions to twenty-; We have no navy and no commerce. Our enemies have the arsenals and workshops of England and the world to re cruit from. Day by day the uueaual fight goes on. Thus far the unconquerable spirit of our people, their noble; sacrifice and endeavors, their honorable, and Christian. bearing* and' their just cause, have been blessed by Almighty .Bower. The invader stands oisconaSted and repulsed. The best blood of orirpeopte has, indeed,been sby British metebants. (brought over in the Nashville,) have ar rived at Macon. They bear evifence of having Bern Bnvice. With some alterations, they will hereafter Bpefak for. themselvts, in ft manner highly creditable. Bern© SB pieces more are expectedat the same place. SKIRMISH AT MALVERN HILL, At a late hour last nighti we were informed that a skirmish took piece yesterday morning at Malvern Hill, between a small portion of our forces and aa advance guard of the enemy . We could net le»ra the particulars. Several soldiers, wounded in this skirmish, arrived in the city l&st.nigbt. RAILROAD ACCIDENT. The up: train on the South Side road, with troops aboard, ran off the track, when some two or three mitee beyond BurkesviUe, Tuesday afternoon, wounding fort ?- five men in all—seventeen severely, four of whom have since died. The accident was caused by a ppike in ore of the rails having been drawn out, allowing the rail to give way when the ttain came upon it. Two cars were thrown down a considerable embankment, and it is. wonderful that the extent of demage was not greater than it was. _ The conductor of the train wa* .alto slightly injured. Besides considerable damage to the cars, the track was torn up for thirty or forty y ards. The wouided ware taken to Farmvifle, where they were properly cared for.

THE VICTORY AT VICKSBURG—CONGRATFLATORT V..>- ORDER. . - WarDepartmext, Adjutant and Inspect Ger’s. Office, Richmond. July 22,1862.

The world now sees that bis mission Is one of destruction, and not restoration. Lieutenant Brown and the officers and crew or the Confederate steamer Arkansas, by their heroic attack upon the Federal fleet before'Vicksburg, equalled the highest recorded examples of courage and skill.

JOHN LIGTOIiSB. By tho G svernor, George W. M oxford. Secretary of the Common wealth. THE GRAND NAVAL ENGAGEMENT AT VICKSBURG, The Jackson Mississtppictn, of the 18th instant, pub lishes a graphic description of the late brilliant “dash” of .the r*»m *• Aikaneas” into the Yankee fleet bombard ing Vicksburg. We extract toe following: The Arkansas moved down the avenue of death as Quietly as ever pleasure boat floated ou the bosom of a placid toko. Her entrance was signaled by a more furious temvest of terrible missiles than ever descended upon a sirple vessel. From thirty to forty of the most power ful ghnbcate ano rams, including the famous 8.-mon, the pride and the boast of toe Federal aavy, ex hausted their magazines, and ordnance of immense calibre, ip the vain attempt to enguiph her. But “ for ward,-still forward,” ehs went, pouring into this ooe a broadtioe, and rushing furiously against-that one, until two emtek ilieir ftegSv and rushed a, hare to escape ttm ,murderou* fire. Turning suddenly, amid the leaden storm which was descending upon her louder than too bolts of heaven, she daabed impetuously add with all too power fbe could, command, agaiast the Benton, giving 1 er a thruet in tbe side which is believed to have broken, several of her ribs, if not to have ioflicted a mortal wound.. The battle continued to rage with unabated vio’enee, the Arkansas still moving forward majesti cally, amidst death* shots falling thick and fast. And yet, with toe exception of her smoke-stack being riddled, not a casualty had occurred on board. Had not tbe smoke and heat become so stifiiag os to comppl the opening of one of the port-holes, we should have been spared recording a single misfor tune. That circumstance, however, enabled the enemy to effect an entrance, and the losses noted in our despatch, of yesterday were produc'd by a hall passing through tbe port-hole. And now the gauntlet *as run, the terri ble ordeal escaped, and the noble Arkansas, having passed through the avenue of-deatb, nothing remained but to wave her adiens, which toe did in the m r st gallant,/fid ing manner, from tbe two sons of Mars who preside in the rear of her court. And then tbe red field was won, and Neptune crowned her queen ol bis realm. As she tack leave cf tbe formidable fleet, aed rounded the point above the city—turning her bow to port—her noble flag seemed instinct with life as the gentle breeze displayed its glittering folds Had nothiog else been done during tbe war, this single feat would have written immortality, in chat acters of living light, all over those broad and ample folds. - Tbe scene which followed the landing of the Arkansas was of the most thrilling character. The cr«wd rushed to the whatf traitic with joy. As the immortal hero. Commodore Brown, presented himself to view, the warm, fresh blood f-till trickling down his furrowed cheeks, from his'wounded head, the enthusiasm became irrepressible. All felt that a debt of gratitude was due to him, his bravo officers aruTcrew, which could never be repaid. ll’hen the circumstances are considered, is it too much to say that tbe victory is more signal and glorious than any one recorded in naval history? la the case of tho Aleirlmac (Virginia) there were these points of difference: She was a vetsel of vastly greater dimensions. She probably cost five times as much as-the Arkansas. . Every facility was enjoyed in her construction which money or material could famish. She was attended by several other superior vessels. She engaged only some tight or ten of the enemy’s fleet. In tbe casß of tho Arkansas she .went unattended. No aid could reach her.’ Fading in her expedition, escape was hopeless. She mi t in deadly combat abou -forty of the beat cannon pronf vessels belonging to the enemy’s navy. : she wbrldfwilt accord her the greatest victory ever achieved on the watery realm. Each officer and each tailor has linked his name with immortality. Let them be published at once for the admiration of mankind. Let a grateful country transmit them to an admiring posterity, to be remembered forever, as the champions cf human freedom. • . AH hail, glorious Arkansas! FROM TICKSEURG. * The Mobile Advertiser makes the following extract from a private letier, received from Yicksburg.

Breckinridge has command of the troops on the opposite side of the riv< r, at Monroe, La., and is march tog to capture tbe Yankee bittories over there, and to prevent supplies reaching the Yankee fleet.
