LATE FROM FEW ORLEAFS, HAFAFA, SOUTHERN NEWS. FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. More Paroled Wounded from Richmond. [Special Correspondence of The Press ] Fortress Monroe, July 28, 1882. The steamers Kennebec, State of Maine, and- Commodore arrived bere this morning, with 998 sick end wounded from Harrison’s Landing, who bad been returned from Richmond. I herewith hand you the list.' The prisoners had no fresh bandages in Richmond, no medicines, very meagre fare, but kind treatment. The serious eases will be transferred at once to the Commodore, and probably leave for your oity to morrow. The rest will be sent to Mill Creek and other hospitals in this vici nity. Tho Commodore brought, os passengers, Mrs. Means, of Ireland, and Mrs. McCarthy, of Lee, Mass. r whose respective husbands are in Go vernment departments at Richmond. ' From a gentleman and his wife, who loft Rich mond on Wednesday, but whose names lam re quested not to publish, I learn that the James river is not entirely obstructed from Richmond to Fort Darling. There is a passage through which the rebel gunboat Teaser recontly passed, and through whioh the “ New Merrimdo,” iron gunboat, re cently finished, will come down, if required. This passage can at any time be obstructed at short no tice. The fortifications at Fort Darling are com plete. The whole work is said to be thoroughly mroed, and the force around it large. No uncer tainty is expressed at Richmond as to holding the placo. Before the retreat of MoClellan gold was worth $2 80, Confederate money, to the dollar. Now $1.50 can hardly he obtained. There have long been camps of instruction throughout the South, and especially in Georgia, and well-drilled troops are now incessantly pouring into Riohmond. The effective force there is estimated at least at 250,000 men. That of the whole South at 500,000, scat tered at various points. My informants hear no complaints of scarce crops, beyond that of corn. Flour is at $2O a barrel (Confederate money), but no failure of tho wheat crop is anticipated. Much wheat is now consumed for coffee. Provisions arc tolerably plentiful, except tea and coffee, but prices aro high, and many suspected Union men are re quired to report daily at the provost marshal’s, rather than the Government should be at the ex pense of keeping them in prison. Eggs, $l a do zen onions, 8 for $1; sugar, 75 cents per pound) molasses, $8 a gallon; mutches, 35 cents a box. Great aotivity at the Tredegar Iron Works. The gentleman saw Jeff Davis on horsebuok last Mon day, apparently in good health. WHEREABOUTS AND HEARTH OF THE SOUTHERN Beauregard is reported as being insane in Ala bama. General Joe Johnston is still confined with his wounds. Magrudor is Slid to have been sent to an unknown Western command. Genera! Huger was accused of being outwitted by MoClellan on the retreat, and has been relieved from active duty and stationed in the city. The Confederate loss in killed - wnd-wou»dod, during ‘trie lute retreat or McClellan, ia acknowledged to be 30.1)09. More troops, to tho additional amount of 30,000, were preparing to join Jackson, in the Shenandoah Valley, in his atlaek upon Pope. John M. Daniel, editor of the Richmond Examiner, came boasting into tho oity, after the recent fights-, that h« had boon in n charge and got wounded. This wound was in the wrist, and was from a straggling private whom he endeavored to forco to the front while a long distance from iha scene of action. A fellow sained Robinson, a year ago in the Government printing oSoe at Washington, went to Riehmond after Bull Bun, nod having served-in the United States army, applied for a-brigadier general ship and did not get it. About four months ago,, he offered for a certain sum to return to Washing ton and blow up several of the public buildings, by means of a certain process known to him, connected with the gas apparatus. The Confederates expressed themselves hopeful of speedy aid from England, but thought if they did not get it, they were quite a match for the North on their own ground. • VED33AI, STORE SCHOONER DIInWBO. A large sehooner Louisa Beeves was burned opposite Harrison’s- Landing by a boat-load of rebels during Friday night last. The oaptain, a- Baltimorean, name unknown here, was taken to Richmond, hut the crow escaped. N.' : ’Special Correspondence of The Press.] Fortress Monro®, JSuiy 28,1862. Tho steamer State of Maine sails this evening at six o’clock for Chester, taking, under charge of As sistant Surgeon It. L. W. Burritt, three hundred and sixty of the most severe oases from the nine hundred and ninety-five sick and wounded Union soldiers wie arrived yesterday &em Richmond pri sons, by herself and the steamers Commodore and Kezmehee. Thoset promising a speedy convales cence have been removed from these steamers to the Mill Creek and Chesapeake Hospitals, in this neighborhood. Ton arc doubtless, ere this, in possession of the names by al! the abovo arrivals, but as the list of those sailing by the State of Maine will not he made out till the voyage is oommenoed, you will obtain It only at Chester. : The men all look refreshingly neat. Their old and filthy uniforms are thrown away, and new unbleaohedsbirts and drawers have been presented them, which forms their only cloth ing, and wbioh, in this oppressive weather, is amply sufficient. , V; 1 It will he gratifying to the publio to know that all hospital patients at this place and the entire vicinity are exceedingly well cared "for. Their bedding and clothing are scrupulously clean, and their food good. To the eye of the visitor the gene ral effect of a hospital ward is now rather pleasing than otherwise. For this, musii is due to Dr. Gil bert, the medical director of this department. . ■;. v YQLUNTEER NURSES UNNECESSARY. . Volunteer nurses, beyond their good offices of fanning patients, and cheering them by conversa tion, are now entirely unnecessary. From the Mill Creek Hospital, in this department, I present the following: DEATHS OP PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS IN JULY. John B. Bowman, Company A, 103 d Pennsylva nia, fractured thigh, died July 27; Michael Deer, Company B, 57th Pennsylvania, fractured thigh, died July 27; . Henry Mason, Company H, 83d Pennsylvania, fever, died July 14. .... f H. H. Dewey, r Company, H, 92d Pennsylvania, wounded, died July 8. ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL ACCOMMODATIONS. Buildings'are now being eroeted, a mile distant from the fortress, for 3,000 additional patients, the objeet being to send as few as possible northward, beyond those who are permanently unfit for service. On their completion, without taxing the accommo dations of the; Hygeia Hotel, as heretofore, room can readily be found for 4,500. : ARRIVAL OP THE SLOOP-OF-WAR RACER AND VAN ■ DERBILT. The English sloop-of-war Racer arrived here last night from, a short cruise off the Sohth Carolina coast. The steamer C. Vanderbilt reached here about noon with returned soldiers and reoruits FROM HARRISON’S LANDING, . The steamer from Harrison’s Landing brings tho usual thousand and one reports of contemplated advances, hone of whieh can be safely relied on. By the arrival of 500 contrabands, yesterday, from Norfolk, at the Landing, the troops have been re lieved from much camp duty and fortification digging, and a number of white teamsters have been discharged, that they may have' an opportu nity of serving their country, with a musket. sclal Partnore. THE FORT DELAWARE PRISONERS To DM RELEASED. In compliance with the resent agreemest for .iv general exchange, orders have gone forward to release the .prisoners at Fort Deiawaro; It is we;l known to the Government that sevcrul huto 1 dred of-them are ready to take the oath of alle giance, many of whom will enlist in the Union army.

[Special Correspondence of The Press.] , Memphis, July 19, 1862, It. has been discovered that some of our soldiers, whoso rank ought to be a guarantee against any conduct so infumous, have made use of the forces at tbeir command to force Secessionists to soil thoir cotton to them at a lower price than tho market value. They go about tbo’country and seize the cotton in the name of the Government, and if nny resistance is made they have a guard of bayonets to sustain them in their demands. Now, there is an order of Goneral Hatleok’s prohibiting the pur chase of cotton from any one, though this ha 3 been practically construed to mean .any Secessionist; and those who do buy cotton from any disloyal owners are liable to be tried and punished by mar tial law. It is not at all likely that the specu lators inquiro very particularly into the politios of the parlies from whom thoy get their cotton. A great deal of injustice is committed towards Union men, in addition to the fraud on tho Govern ment and the violation of the military order re ferred to. There is now a captain or lieutenant in the —th Illinois Regiment, who has obtained ft leave of absence, whioh he must, of course, havoob tained under fraudulent pretences, and is travelling up and down'the river looking out for cotton. He has anumber of bales here now. When questioned about it, he at,'first said he ‘paid a low price for the cotton and afterwards admitted that he had not ptid for.it at all, but was going to. The provost marshal general put a guard over bis cotton, and is disposed, I understand, to investigate the mattor thoroughly. Colonel W. S. Hillyer, of General Grant’s staff, is our provost marshal general. He is a very energetio and efficient man, and haß two of the leading qualities needed in a provost marshal, good nerve and good judgment. It is tho - most trying position to fill there is in tho whole de partment. A man makes onomies anyhow, and, if he is striot, and gives no latitude to-those half-and half people who think (hat because they did not go Into the Southern army to fight us, wo are under l .-eternal obligations to them, and must do just as .they say,- he soan gets a reputation among the Secesh of being a very bad man for the place, and not at nil oalonlated to restore good feeling, and bring out tho Union sentiment. Now, Colonel Fitch, formerly of Bright & Fitch, of Indiana, jobbers in seats in the Senate Chamber, and now the objects of contempt'to all their white fellow-citizens, was very popular hers. He con ciliated, eyaka softly, let those fellows do just as they bad a mind to, arranged all their little desires for them, and after he had been superseded, the citizens sent him a round robin, testifying their satisfaction. Now; here is an instance of Colonel Hillycr’s action: A lady called for a pass to go South, just outside tho linos, to visit a charitable institution of which she was one of tho direc tors. She got her pass and was about leaving when some one in the room asked if that was not tho in stitution of which Mrs. Hurlbut had been presi dent. “ Yes,” she said, “it was.” “Why was she expelled?” said tho Colonel quickly; “was it be cause her husband took the oath?” “Well,yes, it was.” “ Did you veto for her expulsion on that ground?" “Yes.” “ I’ll thank you to hand me back that pass. Good morning, madam.” Dread fu ly rude and ungcntlemanly, was it not ? Oh! dear, yes. ‘ Here is a speoimen of a Union man as they go down here. Enter Dr, White after a pass. Re putation “good Union man.'” Protestations great attachment : to the Union. Having got his pass, the following conversation takes place: “ Doctor, did you pray for President Lincoln be fore the Federal army arrived here?” ' “ Well, no, I did not. ” “ Bid you pray for Jeff Davis 7” “ Yes, I did. Our rubric was changed by the church authorities, and our church recognizes “the powers that be/ and I had to-read the prescribed prayer.” “ Well, Doctor, Mr. Lincoln is one of ‘the pow ers that be ’ now, do you fray for him now?” “No, Ido not; I omit that prayer altogether.” “ Well. Doctor, do you pray for Abe Lincoln in yonr private devotions■?” . “ No, I can’t say that I do.” ■ “-Do you pray-for Jeff Davis, in your 'private devotions?” “No, I don’t!” ‘ In the last particular, only, does he differ from a genuine Secessionist. Ah ! it takes very little to make a good Union man. Tho sentiment, when you do get if, is “ powerful weak.” ' The news from Vicksburg creates great oxcite - «w«ntliere._The Seqessioni»ts_se.e.DrHSiieata-of_ tho. immediate Confederate occupation of this oity, . and are of course highly jubilant, but I can assure your readers th at thore is not even a possibility of' snob a thing coming to pass. Yesterday, General Sherman arrived, and has taken command of the post. Now, Genera] Sherman is a military man. He looks at thingsfrom a military point of view, and from no other. He obeys orders, and ex pects to have his orders obeyed. He spends no time in catering for popularity,, or fixing up a record for future use on the stump. He had a short conversation to day with some of theoiti zens of Memphis. I learn from one who was pre sent the substanse of what he said. It was up to the mark, and had the clear ring of tho true metal’. Said he: “Memphis is a conquered city. Wore .there any terms offered-at the capitulation of the city ?' Nodo that I ever heard'of. Very well; then the people-are ail prisoners of war. All this buying of cotton ia going to- he stopped. Memphis is not a trading pest, it is a military post. Burn your cotton, if you want to. It’s none of my busi ness. Burn your whole city, if you Irish, I don’t ■want your houses „ My soldiers can' Rre in tents. We have got Memphis and are going to keep it. All’ this passing down South- and carrying of "mails is going to be stopped. lam going to hare a cor don of pickets around this town, so near together that they can touch fingers. The provost marshal can have any guard he wants, from tea to ten thou sand men. All he has to does to ask for them-. I don’t care anything about tho sentiment of the peoplo. The pooplte aro nothing to me, except in their relation as prisoners of war. I would as soon send gunpowder South as'gold-. I don’t want the " cotton, but I do want tho gold.” The fruits of Sen. Sherman’s poKoy will be ap parent in gooti time . He has a largo foroe with him, and is able to hold the city against any foroe that can be brought against it. We feel perfeotiy safe-under hi* wing. . ■ ■ • Recent developments seem to indicate that this will be the centre of a variety of interesting and important operations: The health of the troops is hotter than ever before. Many batteries and com panies have not a. single sick man among them. So swiftly and surely is the sandy foundation slip ping from bonoath the Secession houso. Their first.reliance was the " fire'in the roar.” The se cond was foreign intervention. The third was the malaria and diseases incident to tho olimate. The first two were “ played out” long ago, and now the last is dwindling away to a mere shadow. LETTER FROM HAGERSTOWN, MD. The Kecpption of Gen. Pope’s Last Orders. [From an Occasional Correspondent,] ' Hagerstown, July 26, 1862. The last orders of G-en. Pope thrilled with delight every patriot heart of this place, and correspond' ingly depressed the civic traitors. For this indis pensable joyful thiDg we have been long prayerful. The Union sentiment: can - alone be shstainedi and protected by this policy, and, for the kindness Gen. Pope has done us indirectly, our thanks are twice dne. Those who live nob in a Border State can have no reliable conception of the vitaLimporfcanee, of the necessity, of the prompjj enforcement of ?the most drastic measures {against the treasonable maohina tions of civilians.

The truth of this is dally proved in this place by Capt. Wm. J. Burrs and:LieuJr..'V'oorhQ63, of the 29th Pennsylvania. • : They ‘ ar-fc both of Philadel phia, and,are doing provest /jgiard duty in Hagers town, at the appointment oi their exoellent, active Major Scott*. Lieut. Vocshees has Justly acquired the' sobriquet of the War Eagle/ 1 The Cap tain,. who 1 ' is our psovostj happily -rainglesin tbe dieohargo of hiaeßerous and delicately respon sible duties, the grace oi' and tho firm dig* nily of Achilles, The oontimfanoe of two such ef ficient officers in the discharge of provost duty-in every city In every Border State, would contribute’ ore Wi TobeUion than “twenty times their number’’on the battle-field. In proof of this, I refer to tho effect produced upon the rabid Secesb, on last Friday and Saturday, in consequence of the captain having arrested evory one complained of by well-known Union oitizensas notoriously disloyal. On Friday, he arrested a well- known rebel farmer, who refused to take tho oath of allegiance, and swore ho would rather rot than take it; but twenty-four hours’ imprisonment changed his patriotic conclusion, when his son in formed the oaptain that his fathor would take the oath, whioh he quiokiy took, in preference to rot ting for Jeff Davis; but the anxioty of the son for the father, induced, very shrewdly , the oaptain to remark to the son, “like father like son,” who, froth the fate oi his father beforo his oyes, took the oath, and- both were discharged, and departed in peace, we trust better citizens. On Saturday the oaptain and lieutenant had n per fect gala -clay. He notified,- upon complaint, all the rebel lawyers (they are all disloyal except three) and a number of well-known oitizens to oalj at his office and take tho oath of allegiance, The lawyers assembled en masse and majestically. Some were metaphysical; some Baeonian; some indignant; and one very mulish, while another preferred to worship at tho shrine of ISicchns, and ■sent for a bottlo of whisky and some cigars, and, dramatically, took the oath very philosophically with a gu,lph and a whiff. A lawyer, and an ox member of. Congress of this distriot, said ho had no objection to take the oath, except that it would dis grace his children. Qieere.— Was it not tho most honorable act to givo the sceptre to his heirs suc ceeding? whereupon our Ajax lieutenant politely iDlormed him that tho guard would escorthim to the jail yard. One of our oldest lawyers also ob jected, because of conscientious scruples and infamy .to his posterity, who also received a jail invitation. . The Stntels - Attorney and other lawyers were quito Washingtonian in their dignity, and Madisonian in their, disquisitions upon" State-rights and oonstitu-- - tional liberty in general. The recent death of the Little Magician, Van Burcn; suggested :to me that he had a worthy successor in the oaptain for arch Hand ness. Ho sat like patience upen a monument. After all had fully ventilated their divers objec tions to take the oath, and an ooeasional un oorkiegof the genial bottle, a call for the guard briefly expressed the propriety of their taking the oath, which they promptly did, and the fallaoy of reasoning from false premises with U. S. Theyail left the oflice with the unanimous opinion that the captain visual least very polite. Capt.. Burns and Lieut. Voorhees deserve inexpressible thanks for the active, feariess.diseharge of their duties. We hove never had their equals hero. If we would have had them in our midst a year ago, Secession would have been as small as the widow’s mito. The 29th Pennsylvania will always bo gratefully remembered for doing their whole duty. To those who have , taken the oath of allegiance, I-would suggest that if they regard themselves and their posterity, they will discard all mental reservations, mid strictly observe the oath they have just taken in the fulness of the letter and spirit, uules thoy prefer tho confiscation of their property, and a dis mal tramp with their posterity beyond our extreme Southern lines/ To Captain Burns and his worthy coadjutor, the loyal community exclaim with gusto and onojvoico, esto perpetua. You have caught the whale and Jonah is in it. ‘ 1 They led tliem AS they pleas’d, tho rocks obor-’d, And danced in order to the tunes they played.” . - - Union. FROM COM. FARRAGUT’S FLEET.

The la boriDg and poorer classes are, however, still suffering •?°«^ der A^/j !and , the Government was feeding about 3,800 to 2 000 poor families from the free market. A conspiracy has just been discovered by the provost marsbel’u. police, in which seme men claiming to be stout adherents of the Union were implicated It aeemi that at daybreak of tho 19th instant, three men, D’Acros, RoFei, and Bussoll. were soeu abovo Carol!ton to cross the river in a small boat. They were pursued and captured. Their boat contained, a correspondence implicating several parties in New Orleans, a largo amount of Confederate and Mississippi money, and a key to a. secret correspondence, which, onablsd tho of ficers to read several letters which had previously been seized. Goneral Butler at once ordered the solitary im prisonment of tho above parties, anti gave instructions to arrest the other parties implicated. Their names are as yet an official secret. The three mon named claim the protection of the British consul, as befog British sub jects, but the proof of their treason is said to be so con clusive that this protection will avail them but little. Tho police also arrested two merchants, O’Neil and another one, for having used seditious language* and cursing the President.

The Ida claimed to bo bcund to Baltimore; but as soap, matches, drugs, groceries, &c., are not taken from Nassau to Baltimore, Captain Stelwagen thought it bent to toko charge of them on Uncle Sam’s account, and did bo. Both prizes are on their way to this port for adjudication, but have not yet arrived, on account of the prevailing light winds and calms. ' - _ Tho United States bark Ethan Allen, Acting Volunteer Lieutenant Commanding Eaton, arrived yesterday morn ing. She baa boon for tbe past eight months blockading tho harbor of Tampa, and har, while taere, rendered im portant service. X . Yesterday, r about noon, her .Majesty’s steam sloop-of war Petrel arrived., Sho sainted Flag Officer Lardner on her entering the harbor, and afterwards the'flag. both salutes bring, returned by the Bt. Lawreuco. It is said that the Petrel has come here, not only for coal and water, but to icquire into the circumstances attending tho capture of the Adela. It appears that the Adela bad on board despatches lrom Admiral Milne to the naval com-' ;mander at Nassau, and tho Petrel wishes to obtain them. No doubt tho despatches will be deiivertd by our judi cial authority, tho navy now having no further control over.thecase. -•«:• I understand .that the British naval commanders now in this port have protested, both verbally and in writing, against;the seizure of British vessels bound, as they term it, on strictly legitimate./voyages, or from one neutral port to another. Ihiß protest baa beau met in a prompt and decided manner, and the Englishmen given tounder- stand, in the plainest possible terms, that every -British, or vessel of any other nation, tbat has the lea3t suspicion attached to her, wiU be seized and . sent to the United States for adjudication. - Tbe case of British steamer Adelais now before the admiralty court ; aodfalthough the examination of wit nesses is hot public; still I kno w that one of tbe moat important witnesses has given the following version of the case, and if he tells the same story before the Prize Commitsioner, under oath, the “game ia'up** and the Adela “ done for.” Hesajs thathe shipped in Liver pool under agreement with the owne s of the Adda that his wages were to be ten pooads sterling per month, and ten pound* additional every time ahe ran the bloskide, and if captured be was to be paid three mouths* extra pay;':- He also said that hohad In his possession nume rous letters from paties in England addressed to parties ; i.u Charleston, and that when taken be threw them over board, and as they floated on the'surface,;»nd thinking they might be discovered, he ordered a man over tbe side to stamp them under the surface, that they might become s&turaUcT end sink. The evidence is. plain enough : and from what I .can learn there is to be much more of the same kind—enough to condemn her a thousand times.

They,{evidently anticipate great trouble and annoyance from the enemy by their erecting batteries of ’a formidable character at all prominent points ; and it stands a necessity for the Government, if they desire to keep the Misflasippi river open, to pro ceed in the most energetic manner against the rebels of the State of -Mississippi, livery, town, hamlet, aud vil lage along the river should be made to < pay the penalty by instant destruction, if any battery is erected In its im mediate locality; and .annoyance from the rifles of guerillas -should cause the destruction'' of every habi tation, and'the confiscation of, all property found on the river banks: . v i The rebels have formidable gunboats up the Bed river, and are constructing others, andit-ia their evident par pose to attack ohr gunboats singly, and to capture the army transports whenever the opportunity offers. When will we learn no longer to play war, but fight the enemy with his own weapons'! - We knowitbatlarge supplies of arms Care now being carried toTexas; weknowtbat the coast to the west ward of'the Mississippi is only half blockaded, and that cargoes of asms and munitions of war are lasded almost daily, ail of which go into Arkansas, and from thermo acrors the Mississippi ri?er into that part of rebeldom wheretbey can be transported to Bichmond in three days.':' * ■• :■ ■■■ .- Immense Quantities of catfleand provisions are being transported across the Mississippi for, the use of the rebel armies, Thfy are intended to remain in the cot ton States, 1 -looking ho doubt to the retreat of the rebel armies to,that locality, after the fallofßicbmond This, of, course, we cannot prpvenf; for it; would require the navies of the world to properly guard the Mississippi river; and prevent its being used by the enemy. Still we can prevent much of it by adopting severe measures, even, as I said before, to the destruction and confiscation of property.- •••■■ INTERESTING FROM HAVANA. The Mexican .

Retaliation Upon the North Urged. THE NORTH ClROLlffi ELECTION. Wounded Prisoners Released. FEDERAL OFFICERS CAPTURED AT MURFREESBORO’. Heavy 'Skirmish Below Richmond. “THE YANKEES OBSTRUCTING JAMES RIVER.” From a copy of thf* Richmond Examiner of the 25th, sent to ob by one of our Fortress Monroe correspondents, we take the following; TUB HUMILIATION OF THIS NORTH. Asfar as the war has been fought, its results, in a ; military .point of view* are deeply humiliating to the worth. The war was commented by the -North with the moat intense expressions of contempt for its adversary : the idea of the contest being extended beyond a few months vras derided and spit npon ; in that short time it was believed that the flag of the Union wonld float over the cities; and towns of the South, and the bodies of ” traitors r dangle from the battlements of Washington. This was not affectation. 'ltwas'caicnlatad by many : poople,in aspiiit of candor, that a contest so unequal in the material elements of strength, as that between the Norill and tbe South, would be speedily determined. The North had twenty millions of people to break the power ot eight ■millions; it had a militia force about ..threetimes as strong as that of the South j if had the regular army; it had an immenae advantage over, the' South in a navy, the value of which may be app*eciated when it is known that its achievements in the war have been greater than those of the land forces, and-that its strength, with proposed additions to its active war ves* eels, is estimated to day in the North as equivalent- to an army of half a million men. Hot did tilt* suiMi'-iority of tbe North omi here. While the South,'was cut off from the world by the restrictions of the blockade, without, commerce, with but scanty mannracluro. and few supplies on hand; the North had ell the pints of the world ODen to its ships ; it had fur. Daces; foundries,'and workshops j its manufactoria. re sonrcea compared with those of tha Sooth were as five hundred to one; the great marts of Europe were open to it for supplies of arms and stores; there was nothing of material resource, Dething of the apparatus of oonauest, that was not within itsreach. . These immense elements of superiority on the part of the North have not remained idle in her hands. They have been exercised with tremendous energy. Within the last fifteen months the Government at Washington has put forth all its power to subjugate the South; it has contracted a debt six or seven times more than thatbf the South; it has called out more than half a million sol diers 5 it has ; put Europe under contribution to famish it not only arms, but soldiers to use them; it has tefc no resource untried; and omitted no condition of success - . . The result of all this immense and boasted superiority on the part of the North, coupled with the most immense exertions, « that the South remains uoconquored. The result is humiliating erongh to the warlike reputation of the North. It has not been separated from its feeble ad versary by seas or mountains, but only by a geographi cal line 5 Nature bas not Interfered to protect the weak from the Btrong; three “ grand armies” have advahred in the Confederate territory, and yet, to-day, the Yan kees hold in Virginia and Tennessee only the ground’ they stand upon, and the South, in spirit, is more invin cible than ever. The humiliation of the North, in the eyes of warlike nations, iB complete. Tbe loud aud’insoleot hearts with which it commenced the war only show, with the force of contrast, the "little that has been accomplished by a power that bad every element of superiority over us but that of soul. - RETALIATION RECOMMENDED. ; It is useless to attempt to disguise that our Govern ment has been Blow and tmwUling to apply the teas talionie to the enemy. The outrages and atrocities which he has perpetrated in tHe conduct of the war have been borne with unmanly submission or puling appeals to the spirit of the age and other sentimental tribunals. - When tbe wanton and cruel murder of Mumford; in New Orleans, horrified the South and raised a cry for vengeance throughout the land, it was believed that the Government would at least respond to the cry of the people, and punish, by retaliation, the monstrous outrage of a cold-blooded and unscrupulous foe. The engrossing events then transpiring around Richmond, it was* sup posed, bad postponed tbe attention of the Government co this matter; but weeks have since elapsed, and the case of Murofotd seems to be drifting along tfce usual currents of official indifference,, with no recollections left of it but in the unavailing sympathies of his countrymen. • Retaliation, to be effective, muat.be swift and decisive. 1 It is a great mistake to suppose that the uses of retalia tion are merely to check the outrages of an enemy. It has higher and nobler uses. In bearing submissively, as our Government has done, tbe outrages of an enemy, where retaliation might have been applied, it acta as if we were the guilty party la this nefarious war; it places us in tbe wrong; it lowers onr dignity and 'importance in the eyes of th* world; it takes no account of. the sensi bilities of onr people, and gives, them a plain Impression that the Government is unable to protect them .The.people of,'the South In tbiawarare willing "to en dure every privation, to giro ,their blood, their wealth, their lives to the cause. But it is hard for them to sub mit tamely to the atrocities and insults of a base, five enemy, when sabadasion, without an effort at reta liation, surrenders their honor, displays to the world s weak and dastardly spirit, and outrages the memory of the dead. The mind of the South is made up as to the necessity of retaliation—the atonement of blood for blood. The Government should bait no longer in two opinions. Surrounded as we are by.mourmog families, wounded brothers and sons, desolated fields and firesides, it is no time for rose-water philanthropy and womanly" tenderness. . . NORTH CAROLINA ELECTION. -■ The people of North Carolina will vote for Governor, members of the Legislature, and sheriff, in their several counties, on Thursday, the 7th of August. All North Carolina soldiers in camp, wherever they may be, will: vote for the same officers on Thursday, the 31at of July. Citizens or soldiers of the State can vote 1 for Governor, but not for legislators or sheriffs, in any comity of the State where they may be on the day of election. The candidates for Governor are Mr. W. E. Johnston, president of the Columbia and Charlotte Bailroad, and Zebufon Vance, of Buncombe, colonel of, the 26th Begl ment North; Carolina Volunteers-• Mr. Johnston is unknown in tbe world of politics ex cept as a member of the laßt State Convention. Cdl. Vance.was a member of the old Congress. Since the beginning of the war he has been inactive service. He was in tbe battle of Newbern when thst place wa3 attacked and taken by an overwhelming force of the enemy. He is now with his regiment in Virginia. To judge from the tonebf our North State exchanges, the contest between the friends of these two gentlemen bids fair to be the hottest and most excited that has occurred for years—the candidates themselves taking little part in the canv&Bs. . , The North Carolina In defining its and its candidate’s position, says: “We belong to the people's ■ war party. Vance is the leader of it. It iafor the war, and, at the same time, for liberty, conservatism, and re form at home. It will sweep the State on the 3lst of July and 7th of August by at least twenty thousand ma jority.” THE CONFISCATION BILL. The Examiner prints the confiscation bill, prefacing it with theso remarks: - • * Through a sproial source we are enabled to give this morning iheJSforthern Confiscation bill as finally passed by Congress. It is a law which affects thousands of; citizens in the South and we would advise them to serve a copy of it for reference. The question as to’ what property ia liable i o confiscation In the North U one that deeply concerns many of our readers, and is one that almost daily arises. ? For nearly one year measures have been : pending in both branches of the Northern Congress lobkiag to the coefigcation of all property and the emancipation of all slaves owned by persona engaged “in rebellion against the United States. J> J - ’• . * ! ; Codgieea spent months in debating these meaguros, and hundreds of speeches were m*de on ‘he subject. The question was disposed of in the lower branch oF Con gress on the 18ih of June, ; by the passage of a bill re ported by a select committee, providing that all the estate and property,nieahs, stock, credit; and effects of rebels be seized and appropriated .for indemnity against the expenses of suppressing tbe present rebellion. The Senate substituted for thiß bill the emancipation and coDfitcatton bill of the House—much less radicaiin its provisions. Tbe House rejected the amendment. The Bena*e insisted on , it, and the matter was referred to a committee of reference. This committee agreed upon the. following, confiscation and emancipation bill, which passed the House July 11, by a Yota of eighty-two to forty-two, and the Senate, July 12, by twenty-seven to tbitteen. MORE TANKER WOMNDED GONE. Still another lot of Vankee wounded were sent off yes terday, via railroad to City Point, en route for the North. But fewTemain now, and these few, who ■ are the despe rately wounded, will, doubtless, find their release in a fewd&ysfrcma Bower higher than tlio Cor federate an thorities. .... The mortality among the Yankee wounded gj far has been upwards of fifty per cent. ; This is accounted for by the fact that,;neglected by their own ; surgeons,.they lay on the battle field several days before any attention could be paid to their ; wounds by our surgeons, and then In a great many casesi.Jt was too late to effect any good by amputation, and other surgical operations.' Neuralgia and gangrenehave been.verr freouent and fatal among them. In the latter disease, the patient," as the malady progresses,' goes off in a comatose state, surviving se veral days after all the faculties have ceaßed to, operate.

It fs believed that no Yankees proached the road yesterday, though, at'one time yet tsroay morning, fears were exciter! Here by the refuel of tbe wire to work beyond Beaver Dam. About 1 o’clock, however, a despatch was received from Frederick Hall, ten miles above Beaver Dam, stating that the wire was down between that point and Gordonsvilte. It is thought; this interruption was the result of an accident, as, for reasouß which it is impolitic to explain, no enemy la believed to have ventured on that section of the road. SPURIOUS CONFEDERATE SHINPLASTERS IN RICH* The Yankeeß,' who are foremost in every species of ras cality, have succeeded in throbticg a considerable nnm ber of counterfeit Confederate notes npon this communi ty, the character of iwhioh may be readily detected by ptrsons cautious in regard to such-matters, though they areapt to deceive the unsuspecting. The one-doHar lh sues of the city of Richmond have also been counterfeited and a brief description may be the means of preventing some loss. ; The reading on the note bears a heavy Im press, and is very black, while the plate is tolerably well executed, and baa the signatures of P. B. Grattan 'Jr., president, and D. J. Burr, chamberlain. On the right of tbenote.are the words, “ Receivable for City Taxes." which, In the genuine, reads,« Receivable in City Taxes.” This alone would be sufficient, for its detection, but an additional facility is afforded by the abbreviated word “cPreß’t,* 5 on the right corner, which in the counterfeit is spelled « Pras’t.” These notes are manufactured in great quantities at the North, and sold for a trifle by the sutlers in the various Yankee camps. They are offered to the people of tbe burrounding country in payment for articles of food, as was .the case when the foray was rntde upon the Centra! Railroad, aud often palmed off up?a the negroes SB genuine. We have seen some of the bogus Confederate fives within a few days past, received by vendors of farm produce, who arc generally supposed to be wide awake in business transactions.

[Special despatch to the Examiner.J \ Knoxville, Tenn., July 24.—A Federal cavalry com pany, fired, night before last, by mistake, on a Con feaerate detachment with a fitg of trace returning, under a Federal escort, from Cumberland Gap, where it had been to convey Federal eurgeonH captured at Murfrees boro’ and other released prisoners. A lieutenant was killed and ttlx privates wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Krcgan, commanding the Federal escort, and Captain Lyons, of Genera! Morgan’s staff, were severely wounded. Several Federal soldiers were killed and wounded. GENERAL M’CLBLLAN'S « SENTIMENTS." We learn that daring the last week the Yankees visited, on a marauding expedition, Eppes Island; the plantation V ,er earned off sixty-two negroes and all of the personal property on the place. They stated they were acting under direct orders from McClellan. This is by.no means tbe first Instance in which this gene ral has given endf nee that bis sentiments have under gene a marked change since hB issned his first order at Grafton, Virginia, eojoluing bia soldiery, under severo penalties, to respect private property and to show to the people of the country that they came as friends and not asenemies. -- •. r * . * . SUFFERINGS OF THE TICHSBURGEBS. The Jackson Mississippian learns that the many poor families who have been driven to the wools by the bom bardmentof Vicksburg are suffering for the necessaries of life, and recommends that the Governor of the State or the Confederate quartermaster at Vickaburfrshbuld taka steps towards rtnderiog them relief. CONFEDERATE MONEY. . It is significant with what avidity a certain class of dealers new clutch Confederate mosey, who, a few weeks ago,'while tbe etemy was near Richmond, were loth to change'a five-dollar bill for a purchase of any article under i*b full value. With them the success or defeat of the Confederate arms either attracts or repel* its cur rency, which fact shows that they are governed by a mercenary spirit, and have neither part ner lot in Its ultimate independence. THE SMALL-NOTE ISSUE, The Virginia State Treasury and tbe Confederate States are now issuing notes, of tbe denomination of one dollar and upwards, to the public, in large numbers, and the demand is nearly equal to. the supply.
