TEE NEWS.
CORRESPONDENCE from Port Hudson informs us
that Gen. Gardiner, commanding the garrison, had
sent in a flag of truce to General Banks, offering to
surrender under Pemberton's reported conditions
Bu i l , L-1, reply of gen , B. ante, e that 'O, General
, Grant, was unconditional. The rebels fought with.
;great desperation, and whole companies were cut
, down at their guns. General Sherman, wounded at
Port Hudson, is hardly expected to recover, and
among the killed was. Major Haffkill, once an aid

exists between the negro soldiers and the rebels.
For a negro lately hung his comrades hung a rebel
in retaliation, Banks has been reinforced from
New Orleans. Profiting by the absence of so large
a number of troops, guerilla parties are threatening
incursion. Admiral Parragut had kept up a fierce
bombardment, but received no reply Iran the rebels
in Port Hudson, who have every reason to save
'their ammunition.
THE siege of Vicksburg is diligently prcogressing,
with every prospect of success. The garrison is
thoroughly enclosed, and every avenue by which
supplies might reach them vigilantly guarded. The
army line extends bUt six miles, is olose and strong,
and shuts in the town. General Grant has been
largely reinforced from various directions, and it is
reported:that Major General,Herron, with a large
force, has joined him from St. Louis. The weund

number more than four thoustind live hundred. Ad

Tile War iu the Southwest.
At is an established fact that neither
Vicksburg nor Port - Hudson can at preserit
_
be taken by a
assault, except - at :such semi;
flee of life as'would make the enterprise a
most fearful and costly one. .The diflleulty.
is not that our armies are, not large enough,
or that orir troops are not brave enough, or
that our generals are not 'enough,
but simply that the position of the enemy,
in its natural advantages, is alinost inacces,
sible, and in its artificial means of defence
is as nearly invulnerable as any human
work can be. Within the entrenchments
there are, according to the best authenti
cated accounts, about tiventy thousand'
men, •What amount of ammunition and
suppliee they have we do not positively
know. We are not disposed to place im
plicit confidence in the authenticity of the
despatch directed to the rebel General
JOHNSTON, and "captured" from a rebel
messenger, on the 29th ult., which would
Make it appear that PEMBERTON' S men were
then on - quarter rations, and that he could
not possibly hold -out longer than ten days;
that is, until last Monday. The fabrication
of such despatches, with the view of mis
leading our generals, is an old trick of the
' enemy. At the time of BEABREGARD' S re
treat from Corinth; one of his letters, Written
in trinslatable Cypher, was found in a tele
graph officeat Huntsville, Alabama,. and its
authenticity still awaits confirmation. In the
history of our Virginia campaigns, fictitious
"official despatches" to General LEE from
his subordinates have several times been dis
covered.. The 'recollection of these facts
should warn us to closely scrutinize all such
documents in future. It may be that PEM
BERTON was short of commissary and. ord,
nance stores, for he -was in some measure
surprised by General GRANT's bold and ra
pid movements, and, it seems to us, had
very little time to obtain adequate supplies
to withstand a siege. But we have starved out
the rebels so often since the war began, that
they have somehow become inured to the
pangs of. hunger ; 'and as a correspondent of
the Mobile Advertiser, in a letter dated
Jackson,. May,l2, said : " - Vicksburg has full
rations for ninety days," it is
_not impossi-
ble ithat the:ascetic garrison-may consider
itself unusually well provisibned. In addi=.
tion to these twenty thousand men, who, be
hind their entrenchments, virtually represent
an army thrice their size, are the • forces Un
der JonrsTox, which on June 2d were at
least eighteen thousand strong. After the - 1
evacuation of Jackson.. by. General _GRANT, •
JOHNSTON, Who, it will be remembered,
lied "retreated north" with ; his force,
about five thousand men, returned to the
city, and haying fortified it, •atteinpted to
Organize an army. JEFFERSON D.A.vrs pro ,
raised that reinforcements to the extent of one
hundred thousand men should be forward
•ed to the critical point as soon as possi
ble. Up to .the 2d instant, however,
JCiHNSTON had only been reinforced
by thirteen • thousand men ; the remaining
- eighty-severi thousand have failed to make
their appearance. Perhaps the order of
Governor BROWN, of Georgia., Issued May
26th, and calling upon the military and civil
authorities to arrest all the stragglers and
4eserters passing through the State, may
'help -to explain the mystery. However, on
the 2d instant, JOHNSTON, 'with eighteen
thousand hunkry, spiritless, foot-sore men
marched to the - eastern bank of the Big
Black river and at the bridge ten miles west
of Vicksburg he was Confronted with Gen.
GSTERHAUS' division, whereat he faced
about - and retreated. Still, this does not
end the matter, and in Calculating the
chances of our speedy triumph it is safer
to regard JOHNSTON as virtually eb-opera

burg. Against this combined force of thirty
eight, or perhaps forty thousand men, with
the advantages of their fortifications, We have

The Storming of Port Hudson--Our Losses
One of the Negroes.
W.asnixerrorr, June 9.—General ,Banks, in his
official report, dated =before Port Hudson, May 30th,
gives an account of the attack at that place similar,
to the facts already published. In speaking of the
negro troops he says they answered every expecta
tion. Their conduct was heroical. No troops could
be more determined or more daring. They made,
during the day, three charges upon the - batteries of
the enemy, suffering very heavy losses, and holding
their position at nightfall With the other troops on
the right of our line. The highest commendation is
'bestowed upon them by all the officers its command
on the right. Whatever doubt may have existed
heretofore as to the efficiency of organizakions of
this character, the history of this day proves con
clusively to those who were in a condition tonbeerve
the conduct of these regiments, that the Govern
ment will find in this class of-troops effective. sup
porters and defenders. The severe test to which
they were subjected, and the determined manner in
which they encountered the enemy,leaveSupon my
mind no doubt of their ultimate success, they re
quiring only good officers, commands of limited
numbers, and careful discipline, to make them ex
cellent soldiers.
Our losses from the 23d to this date, in killed,
wounded, and missing, are nearly one thous Mid, in
cluding, I deeply regret to say,..some - Of 'the - ablest
officers of the corps.
The Rappahannock.
From what can be ascertained from persons ar
riving from the Rappahannock,. a division went over
the river at-" Franklin's landing'' , last night, and
the rebel rifle pits, foliage, &c., along the shore, have
been destroyed, so that the enemy will not be able to
annoy our proceedings from their coverts. Earth
works have been thrown up on the front, with a
view,-it is Probable, of Preventing a night attack,
and shield our men if-. the enemy should open a
cannonade. Fredericksburg is still held by the ene
my, and no attempt has been made by our troops to
take it. The forces we have thrown over are not
far from the town. The rebels had not yet fired
their guns upon us.
It would be improper to mention the whereabouts
of the several army corps. -
The movements of both armies are involved in
mystery.
The enemy, to-day, was at work on entrenchments
on the edge of the woods skirting the plain, not
far from Fredericksburg. , There was some picket
firing this morning, but iiothint of meter import
ance in..that quarter.
The Draft.
It has been determined that while all persons
coming within the, provisions of the act of enrol
ment of calling out the national forces are to be en
rolled, nevertheless, under the first enrolment,
those who were in the military service at the time
the act went into effect—namely, the - 3d of Mareh
last—are not to be included in that class which is
subject to the first draft. Those of the second clasS
are not to be called out until those of the first class
shall have been exhausted.
Explosion at Fort ,Lyons—Twenty Men
Killed.
There was an, explosion at Fort Lyons, two miles
from . Alexandria, this afternoon. It appears that
the men attached .to the 3d New York Independent
Battalion were engaged in examining artillery am
munition at the open, door ,of the north magazine,
when, from some cause, orie shell exploded, followed
by a few others, and then the magazine. No damage
was done to the guns or gun carriages. About
twenty men were killed, and quite as many
wounded, who have been removed to the hospital at
Alexandria.
A Fight on the Rappahannock.
A severe engagement took place this evening be,
tween our cavalry and that of the rebels under Gen.
STITAIIT. The locality at which it occurred was at
Beverly's ford, on the Rappahannock, five miles
above Rappahannock Station, and about the same
distance below the Sulphur Springs.
At a late hour tonight nothing further had been
heard respecting the cavalry fight. The explosion in
Virginia probably broke the wires.

dated Murfreesboro, June 9th; says
Last evening a despatchffrom Col. J. B. Baird,
commanding the post at Franklin, Tennessee, Was

Two men came into camp dressed in our uniforms,
with horse equipments to correspond, saying that
they were Col. Anton, inspector general, and Major.
Dunlap, assistant, having an order from Adjutant
General Townsend, and your order to inspect the
outposts ; but their conduct was so singular that we
arrested them ;'and they 'lugged that it Was very
important that they should go to Nashville to-night.
Col. Baird asked if there were any such persons in
the army, and, if so, their descriptions. I replied at
once that:they were probably spies; and directed him
to order a court, and if they proved to be Spies to ,
execute them immediately, which was done, and
they were triecLand condemned to be hungoind the
sentencewas carried'into execution this morning.

William Orten, formerly Lawrence Williams, of the
2d United States Cavalry, at one time on. General
Scott's start; and lately General Bragg's chief of
artillery, and Lieutenant Dunlap, of the rebel army,
were arrested and hung as spies, last night, at
Franklin, under the following circumstances :'They

uniform, horse and equipments of colonel and major,
and presenting themselves as inspectors of the
United States army, having orders from Assistant
Adjutant General E. D. Townsend, and counter
signed by Gen. Rosecrans, to inspect the fortifica

picious of them, 'and communicated his doubts to
Colonel Baird, who telegraphed to Gen. Rosecrans,
asking if'any such persona held positions in the
army. Gen. Rosecrans replied in the negative, and
on finding themselves detectedthe rebels confessed.
Documents of a treasonable nature, and contraband
information, were found on them. General Rose:-
.
crans ordered a court martial, and this morning
they were hung. Colonel Baird telegraphs that they
were spies of no ordinary character, and confei3sed
that they thought their fate just, and died like brave
Men. Orten was a cousin of Gen. Robert Lee, and
was a brother of Williams, late on Gen. IVlcClel ,

A successful but unimportant expedition started
up'the

supplies for the insurgents. The force consisted of
the gunboats Commodore Morris, Commodore :Tones,

They proceeded up the river about sixty. miles above

among the inhabitants. Small forces were landed

THE NEGRO RAID.
At date of Hilton Head June ad a letter in the
Herold narrates the Crombahee expeditioriof Colonel
Montgomery, 2d South Carolina - Regiment:
They proceeded up to Combahee river, after taking
troops off the Sentinel, which had grounded. "They,
arrived at the Combahee early Tuesday morning,
and then quietly steamed up that stream - to Field's
Point, 20 miles from its month, where they landed.
The rebel pickets then quickly fled, leaving" strong
earthworks. Leaving a company here, they went
up to Tar Bluff, and left a company there to protect
their line of communication. 'They then threw out
pickets, and the negroes at work in the fields ran
towards the boats in spiteof pistols in the hands of
the drivers. A large number came in: The John
Adams destroyed a pontoon bridge at Combahee
Ferry;;but obstructions prevented her further ad
vance. Colonel Haywood's plantation, at Green
Pond, was visited, by• a company, and his horses,
carriages, &c.,were captured ; his rice
house filled with rice, &c., were burned. Returning,
they were attacked by rebel sharpshooters and
cavalry. They held their ground, and drove off' the
rebels with the aid' of the shell from the John
Adams. The section_ of artillery went up the other
side of the - liver, and burned cotton, grist, and rice*
mills, rice, plantation houses, and captured a num
ber of mules. The steamers were loaded with ne
groes, to the number of seven hundred and over;
but many were left behiniVair the expedition was
obliged to hasten back.
In the meantime, the detached companies were at
tacked by small forces of rebels, but stood their
ground till the steamers came up and dispersed the
rebels with shell. At-Field'aPoint the rebels had a
battery, but the guns of the Harriet Weed drove it
Tlie cbmpaniee were ta4er. on hoard i and the
expedition arrived back at: daylight this morning.
The negroes were quartered in a church, and all the
able-hgnied men are to be drafted into Col, Montgo
mery's regiment, puring the, absence of-the eiljid
iNtion, plantation honses;ricenkills, and storehouses
filled with two crops of rice were burned intiscrimi
nately, and the rice plantations were IleitotfMt, so 'as
to spoil the crop for this year. Considerable quanti
ties of cotton were also destroyed. Col. Montgo
filmy,. it is understood,• takes the whole responsibi
lity of the burning of private residences and other
unusual acts of warfare, defending them the true
policy for conducting a war against rebels.
The expedition did not lose a man, and accom

St. Thomas advices of the 4th ult. statettEateeven
Federal vessels-of 7 war were in. that" harbor cora
poiing the squadron of Com. Wilkes, who evidently
intended making St. Thomas the centre of opera
tions in the West Indies. Regardless of the fact that
St. Thomas was in possession of: the-Dasielt crown,
the Wachuretts was, to 'all intents. and, purposes,
the guard' ship, and remained at - St: Thomas during
the cruising of the other vessels, always having steam
up in readiness to overhaul, any vessel. leaving the
harbor, and otherwise annoy the shipping leaving
port. The Gemsbok had been dismantled and made a
stationarycoal hulk. Four vessels . with'6oal were
there from the States, supplyingg the fleet; and other
stores were to follow. Much tilscentent prevailed
on the subject, and the Colonial,Government was
much embarrassed by the extraordinary' seta of
Wilkes. It was expected that the ;Danish-Govern
ment would immediately remonstrate with the Fe:
deral Government against the ..aggression of their
officer: .
The London Times remarks that the 'North has
expended three armies in trying four generals,
and the last two have most. signally failed. The
South must stake the lives of generals whose abili
ties cannot be questioned, and whose numbers such
casualities as that by which..Packson has fallen may
too soon diminish; and it is. in. this gradual loss of
men, eminent by their qualities and skill, that the
South may prove most vulnerable.•
The Times , city article says : Thus far there is
not the slightest symptom of a willingness to close
the war in America, and those on this side who are
calculating on the probable ell - eats of 'conscription
and financial collapse, may, perhaps, flnd theige
agencies, so far • from bringing about a _genie.
talent, will lead to increase of anarchy and
further dismemberment of the country,which will be
brought to a condition in which the existence of any
central authority capable of making a treaty of
peace, or entortu
ng it when made, will be even more
diflicult than at present. As to its being the true
policy of England to recognize the independence of
the South we cannot recognize that which does not
exist. The South is not yet independent, though
apparently rapidly achieving independence. Hope-.
less as the prospects of the North may be, we have
no right to place in its.way any fictitious cause of dis
couragement. If friendly - remonstrances or "pecan.
nal sacrifice could be of avail it would be incumbent
upon us to use every effort, but, we know that each
step of that kind on our part would but increase
the mischief. France, Spain, or. Russia, might own-.
mend our good will in the attempt, but just to the ex
tent that we might join it should we lessen the pros
pects of success. • -

dawn were soon - dissipated, and at noon there was
such pleasantweether as we were told: was not
vonChsafed the-good people of Dover for many sum
mers. At 8 &clock A. M. a special train of cars left
Wilmington, carrying upwards of two thousand
persons. Bleat- of' these wore upon their coat
lappels the white silk hedge of the Unioak.League
of Wilmington: The League was accompanied
by an excellent band of music, which, along the
route to Dover; perfumed the air with the music
of the nationairthymns. In addition, therewere on
the train over-one hundred convalescent.soldiers,
who readily embraced the opportunity toenjoy a
holiday in behalf of the Union cause at home. The
trip was in ell.respects pleasant and enjoyable, and
a good geniehfeeling pervaded the entire train. It
seached its destination shortly after none A line
of procession-was immediately formed, and march
ed along the-principal highway to the sound of mu
sic and the booming of cannon. The convalescents
carried the tattered and torn flag of the tat -Dela-
Ware Regiment, which excited the patriotic cont.;
ment of every observer. The Committee of Arrange- .
ments, Governor-of the State f and the •oratore
of the day, were borne along in carriages, and the
windows. of the houses displayed the waving of
handliarchiefs and flags. Large American-flags fes
tooned:the housetops, and formed .archways- across
the streets.
The musicians were conveyed in wagons b covered
witk: bouquets and flags, and the whole. formed.a.
scene that was at once delicious and inspiring. At
one o'clock the head of the procession reached-" D
over Green," a hollow square in , ' the centre of the
town t which proved an admirable location for an
open-air meeting, with the court house and. public
buildings fully in view: The day war, singularly
enough, that to which the Legislature, said to be in
tensely disloyal, had adjourned to meet. In view of
this demonstration the session was not resumed,
and the members were as eager witnesses of the
meeting as their more loyal fellow-citizens. At two
o'clock the meeting was organized. Senator Sauls
bury occupied a window of an adjoining house,
which, while it prevented the gaze of the people,
gave himself an excellent opportunity to hear every
utterance of the speakers.
Eon. N. B. Smythers t Secretary of State; called
the meeting to order, and nominated as president,
his Excellency William Cannon, Governor of Dela
ware. This was adopted amid great cheering, and
the usual number of 'vice presidents- were an
nounced.
Governor Cannon merely expresied his thanks,
stating that: he preferred:to hear his friends from
other States speak on.this, occasion. '
Three hearty cheers were given for the Governor,
and .111 r. Sznythers then read the following :
THE RESOLUTIONS
Re - solved By the loyal people of the State of Delaware,
in mass assemblage met, that in this contest we know
no issues except the preservation or destruction of the
American Union; that we recognize no parties save those
that are for our country or against it.
Resolved, That there is no interest which is not sub
set vient to the public good, no right of person or pro
perty which is not subordinate to the public safety.
Resolved, That to the Admisistration is entrusted the
maintenance of the unity of the Great Republic, and that
this War should not terminate until the flag of the United
States shall wave -in undisputed supremacy over the.
whole land.' . •
Resolved,-That to this end we invoke the National
vernrnent to employ all the means in its power, havitig
reeard only to the usages of civilized warfare.
Resolved, That we cavil not at its measures, nor em
barrass its operations by collateral issues; but, having
full' onfidence in its integrity and capacity, and asking.
only that it shall save the national life, at whatever cost,
Af men and money, we 'pied ge to - its support the co-ope
ration of our arms, our means, and our votes. •
The resolutionswere unanimously adopted. •
The President then introduced, - as the first speaker
of the day, Hon. James .141. ScoVel, of New Jersey,
'OO was received with cheers. He made an elo
quent speech, and concluded amid great applause.'
At the conclusion of the speech of Air. Scovel,
Hon. David Dudley Field, of New York, was intro.
duped. - .
SPEECH OP-BiN. D. D. FIELD
Mr. Field said that this was the first-time that he had.
Lad the pleasure of addressing an audience in the State
of Delaware. The history of that gallant State was fa
miliar to him, but not the faces of its children.. In a
. .
. . . .
conflict like this. men were brought together more_
closely.than ever before. In this crisis snwhich r it3:.

reetntwith
such a noble: man as Governor Can-'
'non, wbo bad the daring to resist the encroachments of
a disloyal Legislature. But beyond that, it was to him a
; Matter of great gratitude to take hold, upon this plat
form, of the torn flag of the let Delaware Regiment, that
had been so heroically borne in the struggles of this war.
A small - Mate like Delaware had a - great interest in this
war. hhould the South. and North separate, Delaware,
will ever after be the field for eternal carnage. .The The issue
iu this war is now between republicanism and oligarchy.,
lt the North should be put down in this war, tee children
of America would be the subjects of a monarchy; fur mo
narchy is the frail of oligarchy. The only manner in
which snrh are ink could be averted, would be to subju
• gate the South and afterwards take such measures- as.
veia-prevent the recurrence ot rebellious in future. The
loyal people must observe an unconditional loyalty to
-the Government, until. the last armed- foe is pat down;:
otherwise, there can be no future peace A peace at this
time isimp,ousible. A separation now involves war. A
ti line of division between - the North- and : thee South is a
line-of 'fire. The speaker did not intend to palliate war;
:for war was dreadful under any circumstances; but war
As the only alternative, at this time, for the people of the
United States—war to the knife; war, sharp, severe,and_
harsh. Thietwar being ended, how shall we prevent re
bellion in future?: Put an end to the cause—the political
Power of slavery. Mr. Field had always been a De
mocrat, a radical Democrat, a Democrat of Democrats.
[Applause. ] He always held to the doctrine that South
Carolina had no more power to enslave a- man in 'New
York than New 'York had the power to unmake a slave
-in South Carolina. Slavery mast: go down [applause],
'and he would address , the people :of Delaware on this
--question as a practical one. •Ile.would adVise that peo-
JeM to free their negroes at an early day. [Cheers. ]
Freedom is a blessing to any State, and slavery a curse:
VhsyquentionWith the people of .Delaware should now
lie, whether they would make themselves free, happy,
andprosperous like New York and the other Hee States
of the North ; to-invite the laborers of Europe, who:
would soon convert Delaware into a fertile garden. Let
slavery be abtilished in, Delaware, and every inch of its
soil will redouble irrits growth and value. He urged at
further length; - and - with emphasis, an early.action on
the, , kartuf Delaware in theadoption of the omanciPa
tion,Alicy, which would - insure a lasting prokperity 'to
"the motile. The sentiments were heartily received.
Governor Cannon then introduced Hon. Henry Winter
Davis; of Maryland, whose appearance on the :platform
was greeted with great cheering. -
_ .
-
"SPEECH OF HON. HENRY WINTER DAVIS. -
. .
Mr.-Davis commenced by stating that the 'people . of
Maryland,. his own native State, had become wiser by
ins events of the past two years; so he hoped it would
-_be with - Delaware. The evidence that the Delawareans.
i' , ltere , lirOlittEff by their experience Was the election of
Goverior Can1611:•-and the assurance that in the next
-election a man would be'elected to Congress who would.
e faithfully represent the State to his own honorand to the
.profft.orthe nettle of Delaware. That man will be
called upon to decide, upon no minor issues. To-day,:
our - blood is pouring out like water; the arts of peace
turned to the arts of war; the arms of- brother turned
r against his brother's breast. Who now visits the South,
' as in years past, for pleasure or business? Who does not
feel himself humbled by the scenes that are daily trans..'
piring ? Vho does, not feel that his nation is being die
graced hY the treason of its own citizens. The RePresent
- attvelrom Del avr are, then, has momentous questions be
foie him: Men in the South have appealed to the sword.
.Let them have the sword. If they appeal for peace, let
them put down their arms. -If they,float their banners of
treason, let themtake the consequences. Who wage the
`war? The Democrats in,the South and their allies in the
'North: 'Who are, the Copperheads? The men here who
dekire peace with a basis of separation. Peace; in'their
,eyes, is division-and the death of the people. - Peace
trith;whorn?---with what Power?_ Shall it include Dela
ware ? Shall it include Maryland ? Shall it include
-Tennessee and•Miasouri?TheseStates must be included
in-tbe SoutheinConfederacy,if peace is to be had oil
thielniels,' But 'you can have•no peace. Divisions . Will

along all the border. The end of the war would be the
hemming-Of anarchy; llow,,then, shaltwe settlethis
question.? With arms, and with arms only. [Applause. ]

the meeting was a great. success. " was .a- pity
that it could not have been in the square, where it
was intended at first to hold it, since many were
excluded from the hall who were anxious -to hear
the speaking. The room was filled' to its utmost
capacity with an earnest and attentive crowd. - Dug
ring more than two hours did the speaker so hold
and fix that audience to himself, - that many declared'.
they could have stood an hour longer without be.•
coming tired, while' others who hat intended to listen .
only for a few minutes, found themselves unable to
leave until the speaker was done. The speech was
an unanswerable argument for the .Union, and. a
reason why every man should lay aside all his party
feelings and come forward to the help of ; the
eovernment.". On the evening previous Mr.
Dougherty addressed the citizens of Bethlehem, in
speech which is likewise spoken of in terms
of the highest praise. On Friday he. spoke at
Mauch Chunk, and on Saturday at Reading, and,
although his audience embraced men of all shades of
political opinion, his utterances were everywhere
received with attention and favor.
. NORTH Burnam REVIEW.—The May number,.
American reprint, has. reached us through Mr. W..
B. Zieber, South Third street. The article in this,
most likely to catch attention and challenge criti—
cism, is an. apology- for, rather than a review of, that
very able butonesided book, Icinglake's Invasion,
of-the Crimea. 4: The defence, which is rather sug,
Bested than actually in fide, is adroitly executed. The
paper on Tegetabin Epidemics, (one of which caused,
the failure of the Irish
_Mato crops in 1.846,) is fun
of facts, and should be read by farmers. A paper,.
with poetical translations, on Danish Literature,
which winds uprather hurriedly, and one on Modern
Preaching, will repay perusal. An article on British
Intervention in Foreign Struggles,; taking a reli•
-
gious view, recommends that we be left alone, and
congratulates Humanity on abolition of Slavery.
In the opening article, on the Disintegration oft Em.

China, Russia; America, and England, but, arguing
on them, oddly omits to say a word about thepossi
ble future of the British Empire 1

ARRIVAL OF REBEL PRISONERS.—NearIy
twenty-one hundred rebel. prisoners, captured. at
Raines' Bluff, on the Mississippi river ; arrived at
Washington-avenue landing. about five &clock yes
terday afternoon. They were in charge of a- guard
of a regiment of Ohio. A more miserable Bet of
looking men we have never seen. They were rag
ged and filthy. Many were hatless and shoeless,
and all of them seemed to be perfectly tame. They
were entirely. submissive • not an. g:
insultinremark
was made against them. lafact, as a general thing,
the mace of people there assembled looked with a
sort of contemptuous pity upon them. They were
asked by some of the lookers-on if they were hungry,
and they replied no, that they have had as much as
they could eat since being prisoners of war, larger
in quantity and better in quality than they had at
any one time during. the past six months.
Some were free in their conversation, and said
that at Raines' bluff they were on half rations be
fore the attack was made. They said it was entirely
impossible to stand the Federal fire, and there was
no alternative left them but to surrender.
. . . .
Some express a willingness to take the oath of al
legiance. Others said that General Pemberton was
licked as soori‘as the attack was 'made by the land
forces ; but he does not stand in very good repute,
and that,'to save himself from disgrace, must hold
out. They say the supply of provisions at Vicks
burg must be very limited by this time. They talk
as though Vicksburg must fall. Many of the rebels
said they were tired of the war, that it was pretty
well played out; and that if not stopped pretty soon,
there will be a general revolt.
Quite a number of the men are sickly-looking,,
with scarcely ten pounds of muscle or flesh to give
shape to their persons. A few had pieces of ingrain
carpeting on their shoulders, which they used in
place of blankets.
We observed a pretty little miss standing on the
sidewalk. She seemed to be crying. " What is the
matter," said a young gentleman alongside of .her,
"are you crying for the rebels I" " No, sir," she re
plied, 'I couldn't help crying to - think that such no
ble-looking Northern men as we have sent to sustain
the country have been shot by such a rabble."
The guard who had the prisoners in custody thank
ed.the committees of the Cooper Shop and Union
Refreshment Saloons, but declined receiving any
thing to eat, as they had plenty. They accepted of
some coffee. f e tz. -
Three steamboats were in waiting to take the re
bels to Fort Delaware, and the last boat started from
the wharf at 9 o'clock last evening,
ODD-FELLOWS' DEMONSTRATION. The
nineteenth anniversary of Unity Lodge, No. 711 of
the Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows, and of the
introduction of the Order into the State of Pennsyl
vania, was celebrated at National Hall, Market
street, above Twelfth, yesterday evening. The com
mittee of arrangements spared no pains in rendering
it the grandest entertainment_ ever given by this
Lodge.
The hall was decorated with 'the banners and em
blems of the Order, which, combined with the rega
lia of the members, produced a grand and pleasing
effect. This, the mother lodge, extended an invita
tion to the brethren throughout the city and State

THE CITY CONTRACTOR- AND THE CITY
CONTILOLLIcIe.—The contractor for cleansing the
streets has been put? to serious inconvenience by
the refusal of the City Controller to sign his month
ly warrant for Pgn 'mid per Month for
tenloviti of dirt, ashes, etc. COntroller re.
fuses to sign the warrant, on the ground that the
contractor has not complied with the specifications
of his contract. Before the city , contractor can
draw his pay, the warrant must be signed by a ma
jority of the Committee on Street Cleansing and
the Mayor. These signatnres have all been obtain
ed ; notwithstanding - which the Controller still re
fuses to sign. It is not to be supposed that the
Mayor and the committee of Councils would sign a
warrant if they were not sure the- work had been
properly done, and the money earned. This action
of the Controller may subject the city to great in
convenience. If the streets were to be- neglected,
during this season of the year, for one week, fright
ful diseases might make their appearance and
dreadful consequences ensue. Besides this, the city
may be sued bythe contractor, and mulcted into
heavy damages. The work of cleansing the streets
is done.under the direct supervision of the commit
tee-of Councils and the Mayor, who have the, power
at any time to annul the contract, and are the only
ones who have the right to say whether the work
haEi been done properly or not.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
THE MONEY. MARKET.
PHILADELPHIA, lIIDJ3 9, 1963.
The stock market to-day was very mask depressed.,
an dan unusual anxiety manifested by many to realize
at the best rates; the only wonder is: tbsk the babble
that has been for several weeks expanding so rapiiiy,
has not ere this exploded, entailing heavy losses on
those who had rushed headlong into speculating in
stocks of little or no real value, for a rise, hoping to re
alize before a reaction kook place.l
There is much speculation as talks cause of the sad-.
.den decline in many of the fancies. The most reason=.
able one:perhaps, is the withdrawal ofinany of the array.
contractors, who have been large operators in stooks,
and are investingln the raw material and manufactured,
goods, that are soon to be wanted by the Government,
offering a much wider margin for a rise than stacks at
present prices.
Again, should General Grant_ succeed in 'reducing
Vicksburg in a reasonable time, the difference between
Gold and paper money 'would be very materially
leessned, and stocks, as well as loans of all kinds, would
recede in like proportion. If unsnccessfhl, a like.restlit
may be anticipated, as the final crashing out of the re
bellion would be placed ; very far in the future.
Pennsylvania Railroad <shares were weak; Reading
Railroad,sold down to 5.3-‘a decline of 1.: and Mine Hill.

North Pennsylvania - Railroad 14y was the best bides
decline of M. Schuylkill Navigation preferred sold

after the first board, and. part of this decline was •re
covered; the common stock was held at 123, with 1134
bid. New-Greek sold at I—a decline of M. Catawissa
Railroad preferred sold at 23X—a decline of X, and the

Men generally turning on the means and standing of the

sub-treasuries, and the large amount .kept out of circa

however, only temporary, anti in a few days they will
cease in part to awake apprehension.
