Baltimore, July S.—Nearly one thousand rebels, who were captured by Kilpatrick, arrived here this morning including Brigadier General Jones - a ca valry officer, and fifty-one commissioned officers. HANCOCK’S CORPS IN THE BATTLE. Gen. Gibbon—in command of the2d Corps, now that Hancock iB wounded—walks composedly along - the ranks. “ Hold your fire, boys,; they are not near yet,*? IS hia command. Still nearer, and then, with bayonets at the charge, they s weep up to the • rifle pits; . A line of fire flashes suddenly from the ranks ot the Second. Scores, hundreds of rebels so down, but they do not falter. They charge over the pita. Gibbons orders hia mento fall back to the rear of the batteries. It is done, without confusion, to ar . tiller y the privilege of using grape, btiu on, up to the muzzles of the guns. They-are blown away—mangled, tom, piled in heaps. • They move to their right. Their flank is perhaps fifteen-rods distant from Howard. The time has coine for a decisive blow. Forty: pieces of artillery pour grape and cannister into the ranks. They melt away. ' You cannot burn a straw in a candle ilame with greater rapidity. Their courage, determina tion, braggadocia, and bravery triimiph. They flee. The plain is a mass of diacoirifite'd re6els, : The ground is thick with dead. They lie thick as fallen leaves of autumn. Another scene is described: . The voice of Colonel Vincent rang clear above the din of preparation and the tramp, tramp, tramp of the advancing enemy. ««Don’t yield an inch,” were his words.. He jumped upon a, rock,l waved his sword, and at the moment received a ball which shattered his thigh. Colonel Rice took command, and the men stood steadily up to the terrible work! taking deliberate aim. General Barnes was cool, and as firm as the massive boulders of granite around him. Nearer came the rebels—no lobger marching, but running for a bAyonet charge. General Barnes did not runT His men did not. They stood. They met the shock. The lines mingled., There was a confused mass of men. Swords were swinging in air. There were pistol shots, musket shots, bursting shells from the rebel batteries, tornadoes of grape and canister from our own. There were cuts, thrusts, explosions, flashes, clouds of smoke, yells, curses, groans, hurrahs—an infernal uproar—men falling, heads blown off, arms and legs tossed into the air—a hor rid, indescribable scene—confusion, carnage, death l ' — Cor, Boston-Journal: In Memory ot Colonel Taylor* UNDERCLOTHING, ht. To the Editor of The Press: - Sip. : The din of battle' scarce sweepß over the -plains before the telegraph takes up the echo and brings its-meesages of sorrow to those homes that with prayers and tears have sent out their loved ones. . So few words could not well bring more heart-rending grief than those received at Cedaroroft, Chester county ion Saturday, July 4th: “Killed— -I’rederick Taylor; shot through the heart.” Many a like telegram has found itß way into quiet nooks and corners all over the land, hut few nobler, better or more promising lives have been laid down in this good cause, rich as is its harvest in intellect and worth. In this country village, where each citizen is thoroughly known to every other, there is mourn ing in every household for the talented boy, the scholar, and the soldier, who fell—very soon after going into the engagement—at the head,of his regi ment, the well-known “ Bucktalis,” on the evening of "Wednesday last, • ° Charles Frederick Taylor, the youngest brother or Bayard Taylor, the poet-traveller, was not yet 23 years of age. A gentle,’quiet, studious boy, he won even more.love and admiration than is generally ac corded to youths of such great physical beauty, and graceful, winning manners. Ever among the first in his classes at school or college, he was peculiarly gifted in the acquisition of languages, getting the accent and peculiarities so perfectly as to be claimed both by Frenchmen and Germans as countrymen. Some seven years ago he accompanied his brother to Europe, where, beside enjoying the pleasure of re visiting the scenes of Bayard’s early travels, he cul tivated Mb taste for German literature, and made many personal friends among the literary "people he mct.„ Keturning, he finished his studies at Michigan "University, and entered upon the business he had chosen a short time before the rebellion, He was amongst the first to respond to the call of the coun try, was unanimously chosen captain of the com pany he assisted in raising, although one of the youngest men in it. They were joined to the Buck tail Begiment. Their history is written without a word here; their many battle-fields, where their banners and their buck-tails were always in the hottest of the fight, tell of their valor better than words can do it. He was captured at the same time as Col. Kane, and with him paroled; after a long time exchanged, rejoined his regiment, made colonel, then again captured, after having his Horse shot •under him at the last battle of Fredericksburg but succeeded iji regaining his liberty. The enthusiasm with which he came to meet the foe on the soil of his native State proves that his heart jvas as brave as ever in the cause. Tiiatyoung, true heart seemed too bright a mark to escape the rebel b’allß. One by one the bright names are woven Into the wreath we offer at the shrine of human freedom. Among them all there is no life more pure, more beautiful", none more loved, than that whose loss we now bemourn.

FLOOD EV THE POTOMAC. , -Harrisburg, July B. —News received to-day by telegraph, by the way of London and Bedford, shown that, the main body of Lee’s army is between South. Mountain and Hagerstown, He will probably se lect a place between Hageratown and the Potomac to give Gen. Meade battle, aa itie considered utterly impossible for fcim.to reach Virginia. Imboden is at Williamsport, -with from 7,000 to 10 > CI0 ? . troo P e i' protecting the rebel supply trains. Lee’s wagon trains are at that point to the number of 4,000 or 5,000, making their way into Virginia as fast as their limited means will admit. Lee evidently sees that there is no escape for his army, and he is preparing himself to give Meade another battle, which will possibly take place on Friday or Saturday. The rain poured down in torrenta the whole of last night and continued up to' noon to-day. The present flood would destroy any pontoon bridge on the Potomao, even if the rebels had one, and it is positively known that they have none. The authorities are throwing troops up the valley as fast as possible. General Meade’s army and the .troops' under General Oouch are moving as rapidly as the roads will admit. ; Harrisburg, July B.— No information, either offi cial or otherwise, has been received here to confirm the Herald's report of the total rout of General Lee’s unreal Wiiiiftmaniirt!

ISpecial Correspondence of The Press.-: Gettvsburo) Pa., July G, 1883. .The smoke of the great battle has cleared away, the dead are being interred, the wounded cared for, and citizens who had fled precipitately from their homes are turning back again. The last and most . desperate effort of the enemy to turn the right flank ofour army was one of the most obstinate oonteats the world ever saw. Jackson’s old corps, com posed Of veteran troops, of which the famous Stone? wall Brigade was the: nucleus, was selected to carry the position of our 12th Corps. The divisions of Gpnerals - Early, Johnston, and Rhodes, were alter nately pressed forward, dircotly against our slight breastworks, for the space of thirty-six hours, without scarcely any interruption. The piles of their need now lying in front of General Geary’s position attest the murderous fire of the sc "White Star” Di ■ vision, commanded by him. This division is largely composed of old Pennsylvania regiments, every man of whom seemed to act as if the fate of his State and his country rested on his own individual exer turns. They had their old enemy, the Stonewall Brigade, against whom they had often fought, again - face to face, and this time on the soil of the Ke y,, stone State, where they had come for purposes of ; plunder. No other- incentive was' needed to urge b.rave and patriotic men to deeds of daring. The 3d Brigade oi General Geary’s command, .which is composed entirely of . New York troops) l ' . under the eommand of the veteVan General Greene,' yied with the Pennsylvania troops in ther efforts to" drive the invaders-from our soil.’ 1 Tiie rst 'Brigade,r composed of four regiments 'of 'Ohio ■ trbopr’ and two of Pennsylvania troops, commanded by the, brave Colonel Candy, who is a moat-'efllfclent oilicer, was poDjbicuous for its steadiness’and its During the temporary with ■drswal of the Ist division of the. 12th Corps from :.fb§ entrenchments they had occupied the night pro- 1 yious, the wily foe had taken advantages of their absence, and thrown a whole division, numbering Seven thousand men, into the gap. They had taken possession of our breastwork, and thrown the greater portion of their force around the right flank, and to the rear of Genera! Geary’s division. This was effected under cover of darkness. It be came at once absolutely necessary to dislodge them. ■The accomplishment of this object was confided to flit??

JFxcopa were massed on totk sides of them, add dying down upon 'their-arms were ordered to keep iperfectly still until daylight approached. ; - Before the morning had fully dawned, the struggle ■commenced. Our boys fought like madmen, General ;Geary himself superintended the direction of the fire, in order that his own men, who were (Secreted in the woods, Bhouldnbt suffer by it. c /From 4 o’clock until 10>£ A. M., the contest was ♦waged with unparalleled fury, and then the enemy vfled precipitately, falling back beyond the line ofour ;f3re, and leaving us masters of the position. General fGcary was promptly reinforced during the action 'by General Meade, wlio'eent a brigade of tried men ! ■from the GIL. Corps, under command of General for* that purpose. They fully maintained \ their enviable reputation as fighting men. General Meade complimented General Geary and the 12th -JCorpß for the-success of this difficult undertaking. | .For six hours and a half the fighting was the moat kdesperafe I ever witnessed. General Ewell’s entire' numbering at least 25,000 men, was hurt led against our line repeatedly, but to no purpose, fWe captured five stands of colors, over 600 prison ers, and 6,000 stand of arms. A/A. General of Johnston’s division, was killed instant ; iy, while urging his men to charge our position. His cbody was left in our possession, and upon it we i found an interesting diary of the inarch into the free • States, and other documents pertaining to his re? r sponeible position. Himself and horse were riddled with balls. After the enemy had retired i an officer , of General Meade’s staff accompanied Gen. Geary . over the field, and received from him a statement of taMak .

Boston, July's, 186 s, NjlfipecialCorrespondencG of The Press. 1 Frederick, Md., July 7, 1563. The heavy rains of two or three days past have rsoi the-small Btreams and rivers of this the .country as to render fords impassable that have seldom heeil 'covered 'With three or four, inches of water at this season of the:.year. -The drought experienced in Western Maryland; caused a wholesome dread in the bosoms of the farmers, who would tell you that their wheat crops and oat cropß'.tbis year would suffer annihilation. They prayed tor rains, for storms, for thunder, for light ning, but the elements heard them not. Many of them would have reserved their supplications for rain, did they imagine that it would come not mere ly to fertilize the soil, hut to destroy the rebel pros pects too. They would have been willing that the wheat and corn should, parch and wither, rather than the high rivers should offer an obstacle to their friends returning again to the sa'ftSS soil. It is singularly Providential that these rains should have been kept back for so opportune a period; No sooner did the thundering elements of ivar close upon the field of Gettysburg, than the not less efl'ective ele vmerits, of ..the sky hastened to contribute to our cause. If the rebel army now;make good their re treat across the Potomac, they will have accom plished a feat which few even of their sympathizers anticipate. All accounts of their condition agree in this, that they are very badly used up and in a fear ful state of demoralization. On Saturday, and after the decisive struggle of Friday, our victorious army found the rebels, retreating in all directions; Our cavalry started in'quick pursuit, and drove them into the mountains, and separated their army into many different parts. It is well for our friends to remember that our army,- neither'’the cavalry nor infantry, are in a lit .condition to pursue. Lee’s army, having started, on their tour" of inva sion three weeks ago, were quite rested, even a full week before Gettysburg. They had been engaged in the easy task of plunder and spoliation, and with luxuriant living had become relnyigorated and strengthened. Our army, which followed in pursuit, 1 at first slow to commence, had been wearied outby along and tedious march. They were on the move when the attack was made at Gettysburg, and the battle along the whole line was waged between a tired anil much-fatigued army, and one elated with pr.ide,;well-fed and provisioned, and full of spirit. The battle lasted threedays, with an entire crushing to the rebels. The feet of our horses were bleeding and sore, and further pursuit was quite impossible. The road from here to Emmetshurg is strewn with dead horses that had fallen under their riders from over exertion. Notwithstanding, the good work was pushed forward, and our cavalry never stopped till they had thrown into the utmost confusion the ranks of the rebel army. ,We hear to-day. that one portion . .passed through Hagerstown another escaped through the passes of the South Mountain ; one thousand men with a wagon train of i wounded were brought to Frederick last night, having been picked up by Gen. Kilpatrick ; thou sands of others are willingly surrendering them selves to our forces, and not a brigade, it is believed, has, up to this time, escaped across the Potomac. The evacuation of, Maryland Heights, a short time ago, by General French, gave some uneasiness to. the friends of the Union. General it is well known, advised the evacuation, nay, in fact or dered it, when his ..order was countermanded by- Gen. Halleck, a (lifference of judgment, which ulti mately led to the removal of-Hooker. No sooner Was General Meade placed at the head of the .Army, of the Potomac than the heights were evacuated, and subsequent events tested the wisdom of the move. The whole force of occupation was about 16,000, among whom were many regiments of cavalry. In the impending • battles the ser vices of this body, of soldiers might win us victory, and to their absence we might cre dit a defeat. Maryland Heights has since been oc cupied by a email rebel force; but in case of the rout of theirmain army, the position is untenable. Com munication with Harper’s Ferry,- on the opposite side, hasbeen effectually cut off. Yesterday, Gen. French sent out a force to. destroy the railroad bridge which spans the Potomac, at that point. The expedition,was successful. The destruction of the rebel pontoons at Williamsport was another effective stoppage of their retreat. Where a cross ing will be effected by the remainder of the army that have survived death or capture, it is difficult to Bay. The Potomac is well guarded by our troops, and, if Lee can succeed in rallying his men, another battle will be fought before they gain the Virginia shore. To-day, there are rumors on the street that another battle has been fought, not far from Hagers town. No fears need be entertained of the result in any forthcoming battle, where the glorious Army of the Potomac will be engaged. The great number of prisoners who have fallen into our hands from the recent battle-fields strengthen the conviction that our victory has been one of the grandest of the war. Thousands pass through here, daily, and all seem to bear their mis fortune in excellent spirit. The gang that were es corted through Frederick yesterday sang the “ Bonnie Blue Flag,” and otherwise enjoyed them selves, without the slightest molestation. Occa sionally one would ory out, “ Three cheerß for Jeff Davis,” which would' be taken up song the whole line. “ Well, we are in the Union at last,” would be |the joking remark of another. “ How are you, Vicksburgl” many asked, and so on. A Union cavalryman who was present in the hearing of all the taunts thrown out by the rebels during the pas sage, related to me afterwards, the reception which he, in company with other prisoners, received in passing through Southern cities. The rebel prison ers are permitted to cheer for’Bavis, but cheers for the Union, by our soldier prisoners, would have been met with bayonet charges.. The impudence of the rebel prisoners is beyond all Calculation. ■ Yesterday, aiatge portion of ohr army at Gettys burg was engaged in burying the rebel dead, and carrying off the rebel wounded. Their wounded are tilling up our hospitals, and contract the comforts of our own braves. The following volunteer surgeons from Peausyl- THE BATTLE AT OETIYSBVKG.

Gcn.Hurlbut will send forward reinforcements prompt. Tile Fight at Shelbyville. !t was half-past six o’clock when the Unionists reached the town. Pour pieces of Wiggins’ rebel battery were planted in the public square, facing to- Murfreesboro, and rebel cavalrymen were flyingto and fro in wild confusion. Gen. Wheeler -f™“ I J waß in .command.- The force, we afterwards learned, was five regiments of cavalry; with the four pieces of cannon above mentioned. The cannon in the square opened on our brave fellows, and Wheeler rode about like a madman, trying to get his rebels in shape, to _make a General Granger sent lieutenant Colonel Minty with a flanking force of J° ourleffc, and ordered the 4th Uni ted States Cavalry.and 7th Pennsylvania to charge into the square and take those guns at all hazards. Hie charge was made in the presence of an admiring audience of Shelhyvilleneople, who lined the sid£ walks, filled the window*, and covered the house tops and porches, regardless of bullets, which were flying through the streets from both directions. It was s °, fierce and desperate that Wiggins was able to nre but one shot from his cannon before he lost three of them. This single round ball cut down six men and four horses. The fourth 'piece was dragged .out of the square, down past the railroad depot, across the Dock-river bridge, and started on the gal lop toward Tullahoma. 6 THE SCENE AT THE BRIDGE bsggars description. Men and horses crowded unon it in inextricable confusion $ the stream filled with rebels struggling to gain the opposite bank: our ex asperated soldiers firing at them in the water; Wheeler frantically calling for volunteers to stay the Union torrent long enough for his escape. The Ist JtlebeV Cavalry , answered his call, and made a really gallant stand, checking our advance momen- * T h,e Wheeler and ilia body guard dashed into the stream and swam for dear lire and liberty. Upwards of fifty rebels were drowned in the passage ofthatstream, among them Major Reid, Wheeler’s adjutant general, and Major Buford, Forreßt’a chief Wheeler himself, thanks to the bravery of the Ist Rebel Cavalry, escaped; The regiment was destroyed or captured almost wholly to save the httle major general. The flanking force of Colonel Minty were deceived by a oitizen in regard to the location ofthe Tullahoma pike, and the number of fencesthey expected to encounter. They did not succeed in cutting off the retreat, and the remnant of the rebel force, who were so warlike’in the morn ing, got off towards Tullahoma dispirited and dis mayed, •. . _ INCIDENTS. Colonel Brownlow’s Ist Tennessee Cavalry parti cipated in ttie attack. Many of his men were resi dents of Shelbyville in peaceful times. It was a sweet morsel to these men to fight rebels in the neighborhood of their-former homes. A young Ten nessean of Brownlow’s regiment rode up before his father’s door while the fight was going on. He dis mounted hurriedly, and embraced his aged parents, who hardly recognized him at first. The young war rior exchanged short greetings with them. the gray haired man holding his son’s carbine, the feeble mother grasping the bridle of her son’s horse, while the young man eagerly drank the water his pretty sister brought to'him—a very pretty but fleeting pic ture of the “ wanderer’s return.” The tableau was dissolved by the o/d man thrusting the gun into the soldier’s hand, bidding Charley « go on and get vour revenge.” Colonel was full ofthe spirit of his father. He jumped from his horse, luseed his sweetheart, whom his quick eye had sin gled out from a throng of excited maidens, mounted again and joined in the charge. Another of Brown low’s men—his wife looking on the while—shot the man who had driven him from Shelbyville in front of his own door. Incidents of this character were plenty. The Surprise ol Brashear City’. . Under date of the 30th, a correspondent of the Tribune writes from New Orleans; They took from us there thirty thousand rounds of cannon ammunition, thirty pieces of fine artil lery, $300,000 worth of sutlers’goods, and medical stores m such quantities that it is impossible to state their value to us, hut how valuable to them! With these they got vast quantities of baggage be longing to officers now at Port Hudson, together with large supplies of company, property of every description. The flour, salt, sugar, pork, beef, and other commissary stores, were of enormous quanti ties. I have heard many persons say that our loss at Brashear was more by far than all that we ever gained from the Teche expedition. The Ironsides Begiment is mostly in the hands of the enemy. I regret that I have come to you with a record of cruelties the like of which challenges history for a comparison. A week_ ago, Brashear City was sur prised and captured* with, all the troops, numbering about 1,000 men, including nearly all the Ironsides Regiment. Major Morgan, three or four officers, and‘about 150 men, being absent from the regiment at the time, are the only ones who are-free. Before I come to my story of cruelties, I express what is every day being repeated by all hands, that the sur prise waa the, most disgraceful and inexcusable of almost any In the history of the war. . Now, my story: From two men who escaped, and from rebel sympathizer* in the city, I learn that the great contraband camp near Brashear City was dashed upon by the furious Texans'. When in the camp a few weeks previously, I found there as many as 6,000 old men, women, and children. Of these, 2,000 or 3,000 were removed before the attack, Thosewho remained were slaughtered by the Texan cavalry in the mOBt shocking manner. The cry of the sucking babe, the prayer of the aged, the shrieks of . the mother, had no effect. The slaughter was •terrible/ I thought the massacre at St, Martins ville, where 500 men were found on mules striving to reach (General Banks* army, and were surround ed, captured, and all hung—l thought that, of a month 1 ago, was .badg enough, but this eclipses it completely. •.-•/ One incident about a few black soldiers at the sur prise at Brashear. Oapt. Allen, one of Gen., TJli man’s recruiting officers, hal’d about one hundred and fifty recruits, with a couple of recruiting ser geants. They were all armed and on board a car, waiting patiently to start for New Orleans in a few moments.. The attack was made. The captain was not surprised. He and his men made a breastwork of the car, and there they fought the rebels alone, till nearly every one died. Those who survived were instantly slain by the ruffians, who hungered for their blood as a lion for his prey. /Whether the cap tain survived is a mystery. /When, oh! when. - shall the nation rise to a comprehension of the infamous character of the wretches who thus, in the face of heaven and earth, and in the boasted light of this nineteenth century, perpetrate these atrocities within our borders?. God enable all our t loyal men and women to discard,-despise, and dis own any who talk of “peace” with suoh wretches. Death of Archbishop KcnricK. Balti more, .1 u)y&—Theßt. Rev.

It was commenced on the night of Tues day, the 16th, and completed by the evening of Tuesday,the23d. .... . . _The battery mounts two 9-inch navy guns; three 24-pounaere, two 30-pound Parrots, three 20-pound. Parrots, two 8-inch howitzers, and six Napoleon guns. There are, besides, three mortars and one w-inen howitzer, and a separate battery alongside. The breastworks are laid out'in two straight lines, meeting almost at an angle ofJorty five degrees, and coyer an extent of little overfour hundred feet, the ol L b il ng co catr »?ted of cotton bales, sand-bags, i Pollo>vmg the declivity, toward the structed splendid serieß of rifle-pits are also con n*.n erection were employed six companies of k o l\ X Hodge’s Louisiana Engineers (Ist Engineers of the Corps d’Afnque), under TVTaior J.

These worked night and day continuehy-two parties of 700 men relieving eaoh other at intervals. . ■£ R eeemed extraordinary to find our men and ttieirs fanning the ramparts without any symptom of Joßtihty, ihat I could not help asking what it meant. £. Wan told ; that for dsys-past—indeed through the whoJefonnation of this important battery—both aides had refrained from firing on each other, not irom any pnaUive ordejßj but through a mutual un derstanding among themselves. If it answered their purpose, of course it answered ours; but what kind of reason the rebels could have for allowing us, to build this tremendous armament Son ' €t their Very nosea ’ P aBse » m J comprehen- THE CITADEL ATTACKED. - Yesterday afternoon, at about 3 P. Iff., very loud and continuous firingwas heard at our left, and im mediately afterwards Gen. Banks and staff, accom panied by Generals Arnold and Stone, dashed by us in that direction, at a gallop. The “Citadel” was 5?“? attacked, and the whole four vast batteries, r 'f: V ! R aB * 8 ’ ”1’“" Sie nwon- UaU riien, - one in aesiant itorm of Iron waS tailed AgilßSt tt6g« breastworks, shaking the very earth with the loud thunder. ’ - , . . At5P. M., the cannonading, had reached its height. A dexterous shot brought down the rebel rag, amid the cheers of out men. It was set up Win. and again sent to the dust. Who did this it is difficult to find out, as two'or three different gun ners claim the honor, and, therefore, where all were coin" so well, perhaps it would be invidious to award it to any. During this time the admirable manner in which the land mortars were managed, olaimed especial at tention. Making a graceful curve, they fell, burst ing, right within the rebel ramparts, and scattering destruction around. What amount of injury we mflicted on the enemy, we have, of course, no means yet of knowing, but it .was soon evident that no human being could stand anywhere near the ram parts against such, terrific fire. The rebelß seemed to direct their fire mainly against our fleet: and the guDB uppn'which they appeared most to rely were two or three large ones which they discharged away from the interior of the fort. I heard of the Essex Btruek, producing no impression, once’by a round shot, but beyond this no damage to pur fleet. Our loss was very small, including only one killed : and three wounded. Indeed the whole affair was considered merely as an artillery duel, the main ob« .i e °t of which was to batter: down the fortifications. In this we did not quite succeed, although we made considerable impression. This morning, however, Generals Dwight and Stone were at it again; and a" telegram reached headquarters at 10 A. M„ saying that the citidel was destroyed, look so hopeful, and at .so near a crisis, that I should not be surprised at having to add a postscript from Port Hudson itself. A PRIVATE’S EXPLOIT.

Going cautiously up to one of their embrasures, and looking through, he saw about twenty of their sharpshooters skulking in their holes, to keep out of the way of our shells. Bartram was there about a minute * before he was discovered. The rebels seized their muskets, but before they had time to fire on him he had already fallen safely back, amid the loud cheering of ourmen,. ' Gen. Stone, hearing of this bold deed, immediately sent for the man, and having learned from him what h e saw, ordered, a Dahlgren gun to be pointed ex actly inthe-position indicated. - After two or three well-directed shots a large opening was made in that part of the works, and eight or ten of the rebel sharpshooters were immediately killed. - At the sec ond shot the earth was thrown up in every direction, and two dead bodies were distinctly seen cast above the breastworks. • - : I understand that this brave man has been sent for py Gen.

THE DEFENCE OF DONALDSONVTIiDE. - Saturday, the 27th, the enemy,’estimated in force between i|wo and three - thousand, came to Donaldsonville'and demanded, at 6 o I P. M., the unconditional surrender of the place,?which was gallantly refused by the little garrison, numbering less than two hundred. They made the attack at 12 o’clock at night, and after severe fighting for nearly lour hours, two hundred of them succeeded in gain ing possession of the works, but were ultimately gallantly repulsed by our men, and the whole two hundred taken prisoners—the remainder of the force being j>ul to flight. The number of killed and wounded was more than the entire , number of our garrison, which will give some idea of the bloody nature of this contest, J Just as our garrison had succeededin repulsing the enemy, and holding possession of the works, the gunboat Princess Royal (a captured prize in running the b.lockade), came to. “the scene of action, and Bhelled the retreating enemy, literally covering the earth, as far bb the eye could see. with the dead and wounded. Stone distinctly mentions this as one of the most gallant acts ever performed in the whole history of the war; and recommends every officer “■ “a* entitled to immediate promotion. Even the sick in the hospital left their beds on this occasion, and shouldering their muskets, rushed to the ram parts, inflicting death around them. Our losses were only two men killed and four wounded. REBEL DESERTERS. Mw. 6 laa . t , w “’® a ll Frenchmen, fine, intelligent e*u ?

"They would all get away If they could. Flesh and blood can-stand such treatment no longer;” They all con firmed what we had previously heard of the hideous and demoralized state of things within the fort, and of which I wrote you in a former letter. No won aer, therefore, if we all feel that so rich a pear is de liciously ripe for plucking. The Great Vicksburg* Campaign. Among the reasons /or the surrender, we mav mention now, that within two weeks the topogra phical engineers of General Grant’s army discovered a high bluff on the river, which had been strangely overlooked before, and which commanded the strongest fort that the rebels had constructed for the dfifjMice of the city. This hill was taken possession of by our forces, and the guns which, were on the gunboat Cincinnati before she was sunk, mounted on it. From this fact, it is evident that General Pemberton, seeing there was no hope of his holding out any longer, at once surrendered. The series of campaigns, the last of which has cul minated in this great success, began so long ago that ltis not necessary to review them. Admiral Farra ?ut demanded the surrender of Vicksburg, May 12, 1862. The surrender was refused. Passing the city with his fleet June 22d, he made a tremendous but unsuccessful attack upon the fortress .upon the en suing day. The siege was raised on the 24th. The next or ganized attack was f made byGeneral, Sherman on the 28th of December. General Sherman was: de feated. He withdrew his troops on the 2d of Janu ary, 1563. On the 22d the army under General Me- Clernand prepared for siege operations. General Grant arrived and took command February 4, since which date the operations against the most formida ble of rebel strongholds have been under his supervi sion. He commenced lug first bombardment Febru ary 18, and continued it against brave resistance, with few intervals of rest, for nearly a month there after. Admiral. Farragut again arrived with his fleet, March 21st.. .Two of his gunboats ' ran past the batteries on the 2oth, and six more succeeded in getting by on the 16th of the following month. On the 17th of April, batteries having been placed on the peninsula, opened fire upon the city. Admiral Porter came up past Grand Gulf soon after, shell ing that place on the 29th. Gen. Grant meanwhile being unsuccessful in his - operations from above, crossed his army-at MUli kin’s bend, marched overland to Carthage, embarked his troopß on transports, landed at Bowlmsburg on the east side of the river, April 30th, and moved on toward port Gibson. Then began the victorious march, so comparatively recent, and so memorable, which ended in the long siege which has been pushed with such- indomitable energy and perseve rance to final and complete success. The engagement and victory at Ksymond took place on May 12. The battle AtMissisaippi Springs ensued on the following day. Jackson was occupied May 14th. On the 16th the battle at Baker’s Creek was fought; and on the 17th, the battle of Big Black river bridge. Jackson, taken possession of on the march, was evacuated bv our army on the 16th. Gen. Grant pressed ateadilv onward, and on the 18th invested Vicksburg,- and captured Haines’ and Chickasaw Bluffii. On the 19th General Steele carried the rifle-pits in front of the city,; and Generai Grant’a whole army assumed a threateningposition; its right and left wings rest ing upon the river. A fierce, but fruitless assault was made May 22. The operations were reduced to a siege soon afterwards, which siege, varied occa sionally by sudden assaults and approaches, baa continued with comparatively little loss of life on our side during the six weeks which have since in tervened. T BLACK MEN IN THE RIFLE-PITS.—The notion that colored men are unfitted by nature for the stern work of the warrior has been most effec tually,exploded in this army. I have noticed in our rifle-pits quite a number of colored sharpshooters, the most of whom went there out of love for the excitement of,the work, and have proved them selves, in no respect, inferior to many men of lighter complexion. Yesterday morning. I was particu larly struck with the demeanor of a black man in one of the labyrinthian range of pits in front of Gen. Blair’s division. He seemed so thoroughly to enjoy his occupation, and so full of enthusiasm and ex citement, that I was led to inquire of him what mo tive he had for working there as a sharpshooter. He replied by asking me if I would not delight in an opportunity to shoot at the men who had sworn to give me and my race no quarter when I should be vanquished in a fair fight. This is but one of'the . many instances I have noticed in which the suppo sition that the rebels are waging a war of extermina tion against the blacks who seek the Union camps, has stirred within the breasts of. the blaoks . them selves a rancor whioh will make them mueh more formidable than they would otherwise be.

Segebatth, late Colonel of the 3d Pena, Bjlvama Artillery, and now in command of the outter Fashion arrived at thl aporton the Bth inBt gives us the following information in regard to the department above named. The Captain made it hia special duty to see the department thoroughly He received a proper pass for that purpose, and is there, fore enabled to give us all satisfactory information • The 18th Army Corps is the only corps stationed in that department, and is commanded by Major General J. G. Foster, who has at present his head* quarters at Newbern, N. O, General Foster is it man of about forty-five years of age, and over six feet in height, has a'fine military appearance, and governs his department w'ell. Captain Segebarth, who was in service there the last two years,'at^tes that it is impossible to find troops in any depart ment under better discipline than those commanded by Major General Foster. The department has been recently divided into three districts—the District of Neuse, whereof the headquarters is at Newbern j District of Beaufort, headquarters at Beaufort; Dis trict of Pamlico, headquarters at Plymouth. The District of Beaufort is now under the temporary command of Brigadier'Generai Spinola, assisted by Captain Johnson, A. A. General on Brigadier Gene ral Nagle’s staff. Captain John J. Bowen, Post Q,. M. on General Foster’s staff, has charge of the post as, Q. M., at Beaufort Harbor. Lieut. Colonel Robertson, of the Blst New York Regiment, is now acting District Provost Marshal at Beaufort. Thia department is placed in a complete Btate of defence, as numbers of fortifications have been erected around Newbern, Moorehead City, Little Washington, and all other surrounding points. The. railroad from Beaufort to Newbern is protected by a number of forts and rifle-pits. The engineering is done in * magnificent manner. As a general rule the inhabitants sympathize with theSouthem cause, making great complaints about the President’s proclamation- in regard to freeing slaves. Numbers of them leave their homes yet. cross the lines in boats,-etc., and enjoy rebeldoss- Slaves have all left their owners, and are scattered about the different towns, where they live on fish, ing, and receive some rations from the Government. A number of citizens were ordered off from Beau fort, for non-compliance with General Order No. I, which reads as follows: Headquarters District of Beaufort, 27 1863 Oedee, No. I —All persons suspected of being disloyal to the Government of the United States shall be required to take the oath of alia giance.

For not complying with this order, seventy per sons received the following notice: Headqcaetees Disteict of Beaufort, N. C., June 23, 1863.

The quartermaster’s department is governed wit* much strictness by Captain Bowen. • Col. Headen.is acting in Beaufort as special agent for the Treasury Department, fully authorized to. adopt the necessary regulations .requiredby law to obtain all the dues, etc., for cargoes shipped to that department. Amore quafified officer could not have been selected by the Government for that purpose.' On'entering the harbor, every vessel is overhauled by the Bevenue Cutter Forward, which is stationed at Beaufort harbor, and commanded by Capt. ottin ger, senior captain in the,, revenue'service,-and Lieut. Everett Webster. If anything is to be con fiscated, these two gentlemen are sure to capture it, as numbers of masters in the mercantile service will testify. I .tent. Webster is aoting in the capacity of third lieutenant and executive officer.. A Georgian by birth, he is one of the few who left his nativa Stale, when in rebellion against the Government, brought a good deal of valuable information to the Government, and thought it proper to be an in strument in the hands of then Administration against such-an ungodly rebellion. On his ar rival he entered the naval service as aoting master on hoard the brig Perry, l and assisted in .rapturing the privateer Savannah and the schooner Henry Johnson. The last-mentioned vessel was taken North by the Lieutenant, assisted only by one of his men. Although the Henry Johnson had on board a crew of ten men, Lieut. Webster ma naged to bring her to harbor. While the brig “Perry” was stationed at Alexandria, Ya., he entered the Bull Huh fight, went with the troops to Centre ville, and took part in the fight there, where he saved at least one million dollars’ worth of pro perty to our Government, for which he was highly praised by Secretary Chase. He assisted also in the escape of Senator Wilson from rebel hands, and re ceived after this his appointment in the revenue ser vice. He has been performing his duties with great satisfaction to his superiors for the lasfitwo year*. We hope the Government will not neglect suck men as Webster. He deserves a higher position. Being a practical seaman and an excellent .navigator, his services should be made more valuable. Beaufort harbor is the rendezvous for our gun boats, which act as blockaders for the coast. A TJ. S. transport and ordnance ship is stationed there. letter from a North Carolina Unionist. THe following letter from one living in the midst of the despotism-of the Confederacy is valuable ab at statement of the suflhrings of a large portion of the South. The letter was addressed to a well-known firm of this city, and transmitted North after «reat difficulty; ‘ Golosboeo, N. C., May 21st, 1863. Gentlemen ; As I have an opportunity to write to you, I must say what I wish I> were not compelled by truth to write. Our situation here is anything hut pleasant; unpleasant (loea.no t, hegin ; to compre hend it. Would to God that these who made thia war had it to fight! Would to-God that they had to bear their right share in then suffering now felt in North Carolina!. Would to God that every Seces sionist had to go and be made to go in the front rank ! They are remaining at home safe from harm, congra tulating themselves that they.have made so great a revolution, so many battle-fields, so much slaughter, so much misery, .and so much falsehood and crime, and all for liberty and independence. As for the liberty that we are to gain, God, I hope, may send it. I shall never lookfor it through the'power of Jefferson Davis and the legislative acts of the con stituted Confederate Government. I hope for no liberty from Davis & Co. Never, in my honest opinion, was there a more base and corrupt man than Jeffterson Davis. X believe that he was guilty of treason to the United States long before . the shooting at Fort Sumpter. I think, if I were la Washington city, I could prove that while he was there, as_ Senator from Mississippi, he was engaged in a treasonable plot to overthrow the Government of the United States.- Were our cause ever so good; with such a man. as DaviH at our . head I fear God would smite üb; I fear He would punish u* for choosing so wicked a ruler. Task not for a more free and happy country than this was before this war was forced upon it. On. the other hand you cannot conceive ottue destitu tion and Buffering that our people have to undergo and are undergoing. Articles of necessity can scarcely be obtained at any price. The people here want peace, and they don’t care, so. they get it, how it comes. It is enough to make the stoutest heart weep to see the misery and suffering here. I can not write you all or even a part, for I know you could hardly believe such a state of things to exist in a Christian country. We in North Carolina are living under one of the most cruel despotisms. Jef ferson Davis is dictator-and tyrant. I would not weep many :teara : to see him at one end of .a rope And old Ruchanan at the other, and neither of them in reach of ienajirma, ■ F. S.—l have erased my name for good reasons, which you .will, see in the body of. the letter. It might be lost, and I would then be in their hands* Should you think proper to Jet the newspapers pub lish this letter, or any part of it, do not use my name, for if you do, it will consign me-to Salisbury or Castle Thun.der, Truly yours, m.
