Our Troops Resting—Firing on Transports.
Camp Berkblby,
Harrison’s Landing, Va , July 22.
After tho trying scenes through which the army
of the Potomao has so recently passed, wo aro now
permitted to enjoy a short season of rest, and are
availing oursolves of the opportunity to tho best
advantage. Not a month ago, I stood within fonr
miles of. the capital of.the Southern Confederacy,
day after day anxiously looking for an onward
movement. To-day, I write this letter nineteen
'miles from the prize, for tho possession of which we
looked with so much eagerness and confidence.
Whatever may have been our opinion of a retro
grade movement one month ago, tho faotis now un
deniably made apparent that the position, in a mi
litary point of view, untenable, and that a
wholesale surrender, or some new basis of military
operations was unavoidable.
With the exception of occasional attacks upon
our transports by rebel guerilla paties, there is but
little to oommunicate. To day Sumner's entire
• corps we r a reviewed by their venerable-looking
• commander. The-regiment* were out in full force,
and made a most imposing appearance. Barns’
Philadelphia Brigade, comprising, the b’ire Zou

Moorehoad), are attached to this, corps, and ap

NemiLitthi Washington, Va., July 22.
Trip to Little Washington.
I write you from tho headquurtora of General
Geary, near Little Washington, Va,. whioh plaoe I
was fortunate enough to reach this morning. I
loft Warrenton yesterday afternoon, in company
-with Major L. S. Hapgood, paymaster U. S. A,,
-who was on route for Gen. Geary’s headquarters,
on cffiolal business. I was most fortunate in my
travelling companions, and the trip from Warren
ton, otherwise a tedious, uninteresting one, was. in
company with' the Major and his olerk, C. W.
Eldridge, fEsq., extremely short and interesting.
In my travels, I have seldom met with n more per
fect gentleman, agreeable companion, and soldier
ly officer than Major Hapgood, and my short ac
quaintance with him, and the inoidents connected
•with my entrfe upon tho “saored soil” of Virginia;
I sha'l cherish as among the most pleasing of my
remembrance.
’ SOLDIER BURIED IN THE WILDS.
Speaking of the < ( saored soil” of Virginia, during
our journey from Warranton I had an opportunity
of witnessing & scene that truly entitles Virginia
soil to the expressive appellation of ‘"sacred.” A
little while before we eame to the JFUpidan river,
in thedepths of the woods, but a little distance
from the roadside, upon a little knoll, I saw ga
thered together a small body of soldiers, with* arms
reversed, surrounding an open grave. It was a
soldier’s funeral. There, in t.be midst of those
“grim old woods, 1 ' where the foot of man hath
Seldom or never trod, afar from habitation of any
kind, a few brave men bad assembled to pay the lost
tribute of respect to a brother soldier and patriot.
The sun was just entering his wigwam in the west
ern waters, leaving behiod him footsteps glowing
With gold and purple ; a beautiful.rainbow had
thrown its many-hued girdle across tho eastern
sky, and from the leafy branches of the wooded
aisles a million voices were chuunting forth an
evening hymn of. thanksgiving and praise, which,
. In the notes of the little songsters nearest the little
band gathered around, that open grave, scorned to
swell into a requiem for the departed brave. It
was an hour, a soene nover to be forgotten. The
funeral rites over,
“Slowly and sadly they laid him down,
Fresh from the field of hU glory."
A vol.’ey of musketry, a silent tear, a last, long,
lingering look where the hero they buried, and
another patriot was added to the list of the honored
dead, by whom, I could not but think, was the soil
of Virginia indeed made “saored." No sculp
tured !monument may mark his resting-place;
his name and years may never be spelt by tho un
lettered muse; no kind and loving hands may deck
and cherish affection's flowers o'er his lowly tomb ;
the bugle coll shall never awaken him to glory
again, but there he sleeps his List sleep, but ht 3
memory shall be evergreen, and his name be added
to the list of the honored names that shall be in
scribed upon the imperishable monument erected
to the memory of the fallen brave, in the hearts of
a grateful people, lleqazescat in. pace.
A. VIRGINIA PATRIOT.
While in Warrenton, I had the honor of shaking
by the hand that venerable patriot Cape, James.
I can scarcely describe the mingled feelings of re
verence, pride, and pleasure, with which I grasped
tho old gentleman’s hand. The Captain is oho of
four men in Faquier county who, from the first
moment that rebellion lifted its hideous head
against our beloved oount'ry, hud the moral courage,
in the very neßt of the serpent, to stand boldly and
- defiantly up; and with conscious rectitude grapple
with the hydra-headed monster Secession. Al
though openly and undisguised an unqualified
Union man, fearlessly lifting up his voioo iu'bc
-Imlf of the Union, onn and indissoluble, contribut
ing by both means and example to the glorious
cause for which we are fighting, such is the respect
and esteem in which heis held by the Southern trai
tors, he is to-duy alivingmonument of their mercy,
if tho quality of mercy be not strained in associating
it with those in whom every virtue seeui3 to have
yielded to unmitigated, unblushiog vice. The Cap
tain informed me that thoro was among the South
ern people a stronger Union feeling than wo of tho
North were willing to give them credit for. He has
unlimited confidence in our Government, in the
efficiency, of our anns, tho righteousness of our
cause, and our ultimate perfect success in crushing
this rebellion, and the restoration of peace upon the
broad platform of .the old Constitution, when not
interfered with by Abolition interpretations, or
trammeled with Abolition interpolations. He was
educated a Federalist, and to the belief that, next
to our Creator, oar undivided, unquestioned duty
is to our country, its Constitution and its laws.
The Captain has two sons in the Confederate army,
and yet, despite his surroundings, he stands before
the American people a man of unblemished charac
ter —a loyal citizen, in/whom tbore is no reproach—-
a patriot among patriots. I must not forget to tell
you a remark made to me by Captain James, on
my late visit to his house. During oar conversa
tion on the distracted state of our among
other things, 'the Captain said: “ I wish all the Se
cessionists, Abolitionists, and Democrats wore in
and that 'I might be allowed to play d —l for
one week." Considerable of the Parson Brownlow
about that. I shall have mure to say of Captain
. James in my future letters.
-SOUTHERN LADIES.
Before I orossed Mogon and Dixon’s line I had
■'Often beard and read of the contemptuous conduct
of Southern ladies’! exhibited towards our glorious
'flag. I assure you I bad no conception of their
•oonductuntillwas an eye-witness of their inso
lence, and if I might use so harsh a term, their
depravity, as expressed in their manner to our flag
and its brave defenders. I confess lam at a loss
'to understand by what mental process those fair
■daughters of Eve arrive at the conclusion that they
»re insulted by passing under the folds of the
American flag. Mark the consistency of those
haughty dames of the South Forgetful of the
aespeot they owe to themselves, their sex, and.uu
snindiul of the example and influence they wield
over man and his destinies, they insist on receiving
the treatment idue to ladies , while they do not
hesitate to (indulge in-acts unbecoming of a wanton.
An example.that came under my own' observation
will best .illustrate my : moaning. On ‘Saturday
afternoon laat I was standing on the steps of-the
-couTt-house in Warrenton,. conversing with several
United States offioers. Presently there passed a
number of Sccesh ladies! After they had passed a
Abort distance they halted and held a consultation
as to the propriety of their continuing their walk,
ssitled them beneath the folds of an Amorican
flog, which was unfurled to tho broozo from a store
whioh they had to posß. In loud and emphatic
tones they deoiared they would not submit to the
Insult they would have to encounter if thoy passed
beneath the stars and stripes. They turned about
and retraced their steps As thoy oamo back, thoy
VOL. S.—NO. 306.
encountered & party of gentlemen who were so un
fortunate as to have overheard their conversation.
Tho gentlemen stood directly in the path of tho
approaching insulted dames.
After such exhibition of lady-liko manners, one
of the gentlemen did not deem it necessary for him
to yield the right of way to thorn, thinking, per
haps, such a condescension would be but “ casting
pearls before swine.” On came the ladies (?) afore
said. Seeing the disposition upon the part of-the
gentleman not to give way to them, and with
visions of tho good old times of Sir AYalter Raleigh
and good Queen Bess floating before their imagina
tions, as they passed the blockading party, one of
them contemptuously tossed her head, as she ex
claimed aloud, intending her words should bo
heard by the offonding man, u There’s an exhibi
tion of politeness personified !” “Yes,” retorted
tho party addressed, “ quite as good an exhibition
dB that jußt given of a lady’s refusing to pass under
the flag of her country.” The fastidious might
term this an insult to the gentler sex. In my
-bumble judgment, it was a merited rebuke to au
unladylike and uncalled-for histdt. to our flag and
its bravo defenders, and I think the verdict of sen
sible people will be, “Served them right.”.....
“TOM ELLIOT ” IN CLOVER.
Upon my arrival at General Gen Ty’s headquar
ters I was most agreeably surprised at meeting an
old member of the press, well-known in Philadel
phia, Lieutenant Thomas H. Elliot, Assistant Adju
tant General to General Geary. The lieutenant is
looking remarkably well, and I am glad to find he
is regarded as an excellent, thorough officer, fully
versed in tho duties of his profession, and is justly
held in high esteem by his commanding officer, the
men of his immediate command, and his brother
officers. His appointment to the responsible posi
tion of A&Bistant Adjutant G enerul is a deservod
tribute to his well-known abilities as a soldier and
a gentleman.
The well*known 23th Pennsylvania Volunteers
is encamped at this place, with their brave General
(late Colonel) Geary, always in the advance, tho-.
roughly accomplishing every duty assigned them,
and ready and eager to add. other laurels to those
already gained at Pritchard’s Mills, , Bolivar
Heights, and Leesburg. ; ■#.
Much is expeoted of this regiment, and they will
fully prove themselves worthy of the prestige al
ready gained in the several encounters mentioned.
The long roll can call forth 1,250 rifles, ready for
instant action. This is an instauco of preservation
probably not witnessed in any othor organization in
the service, and is to bo attributed to the care ma
nifested by General Goary and his officers in looking
after the welfare, comfort, and interests of the
men.
STATEMENT OF A REFUGEE.
A rofugee, just come in from Richmond, reports
that the citizens of that plaoe, in connection with
the Confederate troops, are highly elated with the
recent victories of the rebel forces. They do not
apprehend that Gon, McClellan will be able to ef
fect an entrance in to their city.. The women and
children are still thoro,, and no talk is made of re
moving them. He says tho rebels themselves ad
mit the loss of 30,000 in killed and wounded in the
recent battles, and their force numbers 180,000
fighting men. Most of their dead were buried in
the immediate vicinity of Richmond, and at least
one-third of the houses have been converted into
hospitals. Apart from the wounded, they have an
unusually large proportion of sick in the hospitals.
He also says that the officers greatly rely upon tho
Immediate intervention of Engl and," and if they can
bold out until that ooours, they foel confident of the
establishment of their Government. Jackson and
Eweli left Richmond with a force of- about; 49,000
early last week> &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.

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

trip, and he had realized $2. GO in Confederate
money upon each letter hitherto carried. Himself

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

OUR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER FROM ST. PETERSBURG.
[Correspondence of The Press!]
St. Pxtersbitrcl July 1,1862. .
By invitation, Mr. Cameron, our minister, visited
one of the country palaces on Sunday last, and was
introduced to the Empress. Mr. Bayard Taylor
and Mr. Clay accompanied him, and they were met
by several of tho imperial carriages at tbe depot,
and proceeded to one of the palaces built by the
great Catherine. It la over 1,200 feet in front, and
is surrounded by about 6,000 acres of a park—such
a park as those who have not crossed the Atlantic
have never been privileged to see.
"When tbo diplomatic party reached the portals
they were met by the usual retinue of servants, or
“gentlemen in livery,” wearing redjjcoutsand white
trowsers, embroidered with gold lace.
The'Empress is a strict member of the Greek
Church, and when .our minister arrived was at
worship. About twelve o’clock they were an
nounced and introduced by the muster-of-cere
monies, Count . The Empress was attired in a
black silk robe, and in her dress displayed not a
single ornament, for the mere ornament’s sake. She
spoke to Mr; Cameron cordially and quietly in Eng
lish, marked with the German accent, and very
much, I am told, liko many of our Pennsylvanians
of German descent in Lancaster, Berks, and Lehigh.
Her Majesty had but one attendant—a lady dressed,
like herself, in simple black.
During the conversation the minister asked the
Empress to send the heir-apparent to America, aud
described tho-visifc of tho Prince of Wales, urging
a’so that the sympathy our people had received
from the Emperor in the beginniog of tbe rebel ion
bad made ail our papers his friends. He promised
her, too, such a reception as no one had met with
in America since the visit of Lafayette. She did
not seem to think she could trust the heir apparent,
but B&id that when her younger son, whom she has
devoted to Ihe navy, is old enough, ho should visit
us. Tho Prineois approaching his 20fch yoar, is
very intelligent and manly in appearance, more so
than the English heir-apparent. *
This is a terrible climate. At this moment lam
freezing, with winter clothes. But, then, as a
compensating fact, tho city is grand, and the pub
tic buildings magnificent. Think of one church
costing $40,000,000 L The whole city is, indeed, a
collection of palaces; and the river, with its crys
tal waters dotted with the shipping and surrounded
by golden spires, makes a scene of boauty that
imagination cannot picture. -
You have already received an account of tho
presentation of General Cameron to the Emperor
Alexander. I now send you a copy of the address
of our minister to th'e Czar ;
1 am instructed by the President to conveyto your Im
perial Majesty tbe assurances of his desiro to porpotnate
riie friend!; relations which have so long existed between
Russia and tbe United States./
In addition to our obligations for anciehfc ; evidences of
friendship, be, as well as our whole people, feelau abiding
gratitude for tho prompt and cordial sympathy which we
havo received from your in our succbsefal efforts
to subdue an unuatural rebellion. 'Knowing the exalted
opinion entertained by the President of the United States
and- by the Anurlcan people tow«ros your Majesty, I
could mot but . consider my appointment of minister to
your Court the highest honor which could have been con
ferred upon me. . .....
No two Governments In Christendom differ more widely
in ecme : respects than Russia and the Umted States, yet
both eefin best adapted to promote the happiness and
prosperity of their respective people. Both are at present
engaged in a social change* atd have imposed upon them
a national duty similar in character and promising alike
■ results equally vital and glorious to either nation.
This social change is the emancipation of labor, in
effeoting wbich your Majesty has so’nobly led the way,
and which the free masses of my. own country are now so
heroically emulating undor the guidance of Divine Pro
vidence.- i;-''-:-.?’
Wo boliovo that ibe peaco, as well as tbe material inte
rests of all nations, will be bestsubt erved by the continu
ance of tbe power aud prosperity of Russia in the old
world, and on the new continent by the perpetuity of
the systtm adopted by the United States, i . .
Let me assure yonr Majesty that recent events abun
dantly prove that my Government is able to meet all exi-
-to perform her whole duty to humanity.
Her system does not admit of large standing armies in
time of peace, but the promptitude with which her citi
zens came to the call ofthe President and-the existence
of our present mighty army, prove that we shall never
want soldiers to maintain our domestic security, or to de~
fine our national honor.
It iB remarkable • that Russia and the United States are
tbe only two great Powers or tbe : world whose friendship
can i ever be oisi urbed by rival interests.
Your Majesty is extending civilization to the far East,
while the people of my country are carr>iog the blessings
of our Government to tlxe extreme West. In this mutual
advance, your telegraph will soon join ours, so that St.
Petersburg and Washington may converse with each
olher without tbe wires being touched by nnfrioidly
hands'. ""'"v
' It will afford mo unfeigned pleasnro. to represent my
country-in this spirit, and to take every proper occasion
for drawing still closer tbe bonds of amity between the
two nations.
The Emperor was very much gratified, and held
General Cameron long in conversation. Be exhi
bited great knowledge of American affairs, and
took a very deep interest in the success of the
Union arms. r -

To the Editor of The Press
Snt: As the mechanics aud manufacturers of the
city of Philadelphia feel anxious to contribute their
mite towards the volunteer subscription fund, al.
low me to suggest that subscription papers be ob
tained, with proper printed headings, and furnished
the war committees.. Let them distribute the pa
pers in all the mechanical and manufacturing es-v
t&btiriiinenU throughout the city, to be ca’led for
in- a specified time; the papers to bo given to the
heads of the different firms, and by them to be
banded to the employees for their voluntary con
tributions. 1q this manner many hundred thou
sands of dollars can bo raised in addition to what
has been subscribed. Such ; a course has been •
adopted by several eetabtishments, and has met
with general favor.

Oneof cur special correspondents, with Gen. Model;

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.
DEPRECIATION OP NORTHERN PAPER MONEY.
qhe depreciation of Northern paper mooey continues
and ii.crt-as* s. Sates of gold -were* mate at tho Stock
Board, In Baltimore, on Monday, at 20 per cent pre
mium, closing at 121 asked, 120 bid. At the New York
maifcet large sales were made at 20 per tent The Hales
at the First Board, New York, were made at 119 & •
United States sixes >Bl at 98#. 1
Fyieign exchange in New York fated a few days ago
at 1S0&131; which is £l®22 per cent: above the par
va’u«: ; ;
Pt-ihaps the,most significant feature in the above
figures is that United States 6a should be below par
Not many weeks ago they commanded a handsome pre
mium. Now they rate low&tfcan even Lincoln’s paper
money, although that rates twenty per cent, below its
face. •• '■ •
Koijtbeni .men thus value the credit of their
GoVunment higher than its future credit. They prefer a
ptomise to pay which they can swiftly get rid of, above
one which, though, bearingynt&rest, yet awaits future re
demption. They have lost confidence in the future abili
ty or honesty of their .Government, add they Bay ao in
that mode in which a Yankee most certainly speaks
his true opinion—they say so la dollars and cents.
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
sb<fd, but it will continue to flow, if need be, for twenty
years, until the great work of our. deliverance is accom
plished. In comparison with this end, we hold all other
earthly things.vile and contemptible, and, most of all, the
embers of bid feudß with those ,who wish .us well in pur
struggle for liberty, and who, in reference to the brutal
practices ofour enemy, cry from the heart, may God de
fend tho right!
DESERTERS AND STRAGGLERS.
The great neeesrity of maintaining our army in its ut
most, efficiency is manifest to every .one. Our enemy,
baffled, butnot broken, and a giant iii power, is gather
ing hie forces and erdering enormous levies of fresh men;
and he is preparing to renew the onset with frantic, en
ergy. This is no time for our soldiers to scatter! On
the contrary, every man should be at bis p-»st, and ready
to resist or to strike. There i3 } 'neveTtheless, a consider
able disposition on the part of some of. our soldiers to in
dulge themselves with absences from their regiments.
No time could be more unpropUions for such truancy.
In order to break up this evil, and prevent the unhappy
conrCQuences which would result from it, if at all tole
rated, the military authorities have found it necessary
to adopt the. most stringent rognlations, and to add to
ihem from .time to time.*; Below, .we publish an order
jm t issued, in which railroad agents and employees are
required to lend their aid in the reclamation of strag
glers and deserters; and we cal! their attention te tho
important 'duty; ’ They can render great service in
breaktog up an evil that; imder present circumstances,
is not only bigbly injurious, but fatal and intolerable;

The accident was caused by a ppike in ore of the rails

down a considerable embankment, and it is. wonderful
that the extent of demage was not greater than it was.

General Orders, No. 51.—The successful defence of
Vicksburg, against the moriar-fleet of the enemy, by
Major GemralYan Dorn, and the officers and men under
his command, entitles them to the gratitude of the
country, tbe thanks of the Government, and the admira

they have not only saved toe city entrusted to them- but

to-unveil bis,m»liee and tbe hypocrisy of his pretended
wieh to restore the Union. 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. They
prove that the ravy, vbeD It regains its proper element,

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. It is
suggestive of some important matters, of .which we are
in . ignorance. here. .If half what is suggested by tho
writer be confirmed, the Yankees are certainly in a bad
fix on the Miesbrippi:
Vioksbcbg, Jnly 13.—We have just received exciting
news from our batteries. A Yankee flag of truce has ar
rived, to request permission for their gunboats to pass
our batteries at Yicksburg and Baton Bongo unmolested,
and that they will evacuate New Orleans and the riverl
It is said that Gen. Tan Dorn has refused tbe request,
for be Bays that before two months he shall have the
whole of the Yankee fleet between Yicksburg and Baton
Rouge.
Gen. 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. The whole
of the Yankee fleet went down the river yesterday, for
the purpose of securing our batteries at Baton Bonge,
but I am happy to say they have a very poor chance of
doing so, as we have reo'-enpied the batteries on both,
sides of the river, aud are mounting more guns a*d erect
ing new fortifications. There Is no doubt that we made a
brOiiant strategic stroke in the recapture of that town.
Meanwhile alaroelightartilieryforcehaa been stationed
on the banks of the river, with orders to attack all trans
ports and Yankee boats that attempt to pass. So yen Bee
the Yankees have * r got theirpaw in tbe wrong pot** this
time.. • . *, 4 ■•

way you Ehail pass my batteries is at the mouth of tiro
