[Special Correspondence of Tie-Press. ] Funk's Makok, ou west biiawoh op THE ANTIKTAM OitEBK, Feakklis Co., Pa., July 12, 1863. FKOM BEDFORD TO LONDON. Taking the Huntingdon, and Broad Top railroad, 1 passed through the coal regions to Bloody Run, so noted in Revolutionary annals. Two hours’ ride brought me to the town of Bedford, where I stopped for the night. In the morning; I took my horse to Bloody Run, and thence, on the Chambersburgpike, to' London, a small village in Franklin I found the people up find doing, in every direction, for the salvation of our great and glorious old Com monwealth from further invasion by the rebels, who were: Hageratown, and Williams port, in great force. After gathering what little news there was to be had at London and vicinity, I determined to visit Hagerstown. * IN THE REBEL LINES. On the night of the 9th, I arrived at Greencastle, and proceeded on by byroads for several miles with in. the enemy’s picket line without molestation. Finally I was stopped by a picket'guard, and was informed that I “ could no further go in thiß terrible business,” Affecting disappointment, the'offlcer of the guard, a fine-looking Virginian, came out to ex amine, and, after this was gone through with, to his satisfaction, he told me I would be permitted to go to Hagerstown, but not to return under pain of ar rest and punishment. • AFFAIRS IN HAGERSTOWN. As I trudged along the. pike carelessly, covered with dust and well-nigh worn out, I observed five small brigades, posted with artillery, at different points of the road, so as to command it. There was perfect order and discipline manifested, and although some of the troops seemed despondent, many ex pressed themselves confident of saving then army and its.immense plunder.. About two miles north of the town I saw a squad of artillerists spiking three fine brass pieces, which they buried. They said they buried them because they had more than they wanted, but really I sus pect that orders have been given to the troops to make away with everything that will impede them in their retreat over the river and down the Shenan doah Valley to Culpeper. Arriving in Hagerstown, I found the house of a kiDd Union family, who eared for me in a manner that I shall never forget, and through them alone I was enabled to move about the city,' and esoape from the rebel lines without molestation. GEN/LEE’S HEADQTJA.RTERS. GcneralL.ee had his headquarters in a private house, which was tastefully draped with the rebel flag and those of the various States from' which re giments were bivouacked near the town. The General has a large and fine looking staff, and nil work incessantly at the country maps they have secured from citizens of the Cumberland Valley, and are continually riding to and from the outposts with orderß. - General Lee is a fine looking man. His nose is large and massive, like hisleatures, which arc rather -rugged and careworn now. He is much bronzed and his hair: and whiskers are tinged with gray. He wears a long flowing beard, now covering most of his fsice, and gives.* him quite a venerable appear ance. He dresses a fine gray uniform trimmed with black braid, mounts a splendid iron-gray horse, with good equipments, pistols, and a heavy rapier. As far as I observed, he bears no badge of distinction about his person, except the stars upon the coat collar, three in number, a large one in the centre and a Bmall one each side. He talks with every one and is often closeted for hours with his seouts and spies. He wears a capacious" slouch-hat, buttoned up on the left side, trimmed with handsome black feathers and bullion ornaments. He would hardly be recognized by-our officers in his present ((dis guise,” - - - ■ '' • 7- AT THK WASHINGTON HOUSE. Here I observed a large number of generals, colo nels, &c. Among them. Generals Ewell, Early, An derson, Hilly Jenkins,* Imboden,-Prior, Gordon, Eastman, Pendleton, and Blumford. These names I heard mentioned, with others I have no w forgotten. Gen. Jenkins is wounded in the forehead by a piece of shell which he exhibited as a memento honorabilc. The wound is not serious. ’ Gen. Ewell has a patent leg, but I could not observe whether it was one of Palmer’s or not. Gen. Gordon is wounded in the wrist. A pistol-shot entered his arm just above the wristjoint. This wound iB not at all dangerous. WHERE THE REBELS ARE. Gen. Longstreet’a corps is posted advantageously on the national pike, east and south of this town his right wing reaching the Potomac river. Hois supported by the corps of Gen. A. P. Hill General Ewell’s corps is poßted so as to join Uongstreet’s left wiDg, and it in turn is supported by Anderson’s and Early’s divisions. Other divisions of strength are lying between Hagerstown and Williamsport. The cavalry forces extend along the line of the river and are guarding the trains of supply and ammu nition. • * . Gen. D. H. Hill has come up from Culpeper,it is Baid, with a division, and is on the other side of the river. He has a pontoon train, according to report. "WHAT THE REBELS ARE DOINGk Gen. Lee cannot get his army across the Potomac, so he is goiDg to give us battle upon the old Antie tam ground, in all probability. ■ The rebels have succeeded in making off with a large portion of their Pennsylvania plunder, which they have crossed on a ferry scow, worked by wires or ropes at or near Clear Spring." : The rebels acknowledged in my hearing, that they were surprised and badly whipped at Gettysburg, and that they were “in a bad fix now,” but rely upon the geniUßOf Gen. Lee to extricate them from danger. ' =. They had the news of the fall of Vicksburg from the North, but did not seem to credit the report of the surrender. The rebels have food enough for a mouth* They have a large amount of artillery, and enough am munition for another battle. They have some of that which they captured from Gen. Milroy left. After obtaining a pass, I came through the rebel lines again and was soon brought up “ with a round turn” by our pickets. ~ A pass from Gen. Couch brought me to Waynesboro, where I reported to T Gen. Smith all that I had seen. THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS. Here I find our, Quaker city-army resting after a march of nearly one hundred miles, weary, fagged out, and almost starving. For several days they have subsisted upon a cracker and a cup or coffee per diem. Who is to blame for this 1 I was indeed moved to tears when these brave lads told'me of their sufferings and privations. The people have done all in their power to relieve them, but their supplies, which oughtto have been here before them, have not arrived yet. .Such mismanagement with soldiers in front of the enemy 1b most reprehensible. THE GRAY RESJTKYES. This splendid regiment is encamped here on the ; West Branch of the Antietam creek, and arc com manded'by Gen, Brisbin. Col. Smith and his officers and men, although suffering for food, are well and in excellent spirltß. THE BLUE RESERVES are encamped near,by. Col. W. W. Taylor and Lieut. Col. Graham received me kindly. : They are excellent officers and ready to move upon . the enemy anywhere and at anytime.- Both of these regiments should be kindly remembered in Phila delphia. They are, indeed, the pride of our city. They are brigaded withthe2Bth and 08ch Regiments, .and are near the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 6th Army Corps, under Gen." Neal. FROM THE FRONT. At our special messengeris how about leaving for Harrisburg, I must close this letter by sAyiug that General Smith’s army, including the brigades, of Generals Neal, Knipe, Ewen, and Briabm,are ad vancing. The ‘‘Grays” and “Blues” of Philadel phia are now. crossing the State line—the first to enter Maryland. The supply trains have arrived, and our hftlf*famished lads are being*well fed. ANOTHER VICTORY. V Gedf Longstreet’s corps was driven across the Antietam on Friday, and at midnight the rebels evacuated Hagerstown in great haste, going to wards Hancock. They tried to cross at the iatter point yesterday, and, failing in this, returned, and now occupy Hagerstown with Ewell’s corps, or what is left of it. The rebels fear us now, and \ye shall be every where ttieYictois. CALM YOUR FEARS, Let me say that the Philadelphia regiments have not yet been engaged with the enemy since leaving Carlisle. They have met with no loss whatever. General Smith’s orders from General Meade are not to bring on ah engagement at present, as lie hopes to injure the enemy in a peculiar way very soon again with the Army of the Potomac, when he may need the assistance of the militia* The weather is oppressive, but we all hope to live through it. . It. W. WALLAZZ, The National Army. Washington, July 12,— [Special to the Tribune ] —The battle on the tipper Potomac Is not likely to be much longer postponed. Gen. Meade has massed his troops upon an unusually short line, and is in a position to fight if Gen. Lee jchooseß, or is forced to remain on this side of the Potomac. The Potomac cannot yet have fallen, and if the* heavy showers which drenched Washington this afternoon Visited the Upper river, it has risen considerably. The clouds to*night threaten still more rain. Lee’s army is estimated to be between 60,000 and 60,000 strong. Captain Belcher, Maine regiment, taken prisoner by the ttbels at Gettysburg, escaped from them, ; and is now in this city. He\ says the rebels only re treated four miles during Saturday j that they were not demoralized or in diaorder, but acknowledged thattthey were* badly whipped. The rebels took 4,000 Union prisoners, whom Captain B. saw in the IWI «{the rebel way. The rebel* »»y Lee vfM PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JULY 14, 1863, compelled to fight'Meade in a bad location, and that wben he gives the Yankees battle again, he will certainly be victorious. They estimate their killed and wounded at 20,000. ’The brigade of regulars attached to the 6th Corps suffered severely in the late fight at Gettysburg. It went into action with 60 officers and 825 men,.and lost 36 officers and 472 men, killed and wounded. One of its regiments, the llth, went into the fight with 244 men, of whom 117 privates and officers .were killed or wounded. This regiment has been in . every fight, from those during McClellan’s seven days retreat to Gettysburg. -The rebel wounded at Gettysburg freely admit that Lee’s forces were terribly defeated. Not a few, especially from North Carolina,*express a desire not to go into the rebel service again. One soldier, from the Old North State, followed Senator Wilkinson a half a mile, to tell him that he. with his fellows, had been impressed into the service, and that the Old Flag of the Union was dear to him yet. No man of them is so ignorant as not to know that the Confe derate money is utterly worthless, and they would discard it altogether, did not the rebel laws compel them to use it. Col. Colville, of the Ist Minnesota, is still lying wounded at Gettysburg with his men, refusing to be removed till they are cared for. Many of the wounded arestil) under fly-tents, hospital-tents not having yet been received. The rebel wounded are to be sent to Point Lookout Hospital, as well as to David’s Island and Chester Hospital, Pennsylva nia. The Surgeon General is still at the headquar ters of the Army of the Potomac, and will remain until the battle, daily is over. Frederick, July 12. —The following congratula tory order from Gen. .Howard has been read to the corps in his command GKIs'KRAL ORDERS—WO. 18. Headquarters, Eleventh Corps, • Asurr OP THE POTOKAC, Near Boonsboro, Md., July 10.1883. The General again thanks his command for what has been done during the last month. You have now met the enemy, and feel conscious that you have done your duty on the first day of July, with the Ist Corps and Buford’s division of cavalry. You held double your number in check from 12 M. until night, and thus opened the way for the victory that followed on the 3d. You held an important position during the cannonade; and repulsed the.enemy when already within your batteries and breaking through your lines. On the 3d the same post was held, under the severest cannonade of the war. Our batteries, aided by our infantry, contributed a full share to the repulse of the enemy’s lastattempt to drive thearmy from.its position. The llth Corps, as a corpse has done well—well in marching, well in fighting. - The sacrifices it has made shall not be forgotten in the „retrospect, your general feels satisfied. Now we must make one more effort. Let there be no waver ing, no doubt. Our cause is good, and our success sure. O. O. HOWARD, Major General Commanding. Washington, July 13 —A letter from Antietam creek, dated yesterday, says Vice President Hamlin was In camp.. . The riumberof prisoners who have been forwarded by the general provost marshal to Baltimore is be-’ tween 8,000 and 9,000. This is independent of those sent forward by Gen. Couch, and hundreds of de serters in Pennsylvania- It is estimated that nearly 3,000 deserters have left Lee’s army, a large portion of whom have recroßßed the ■ Potomac at various poims above Williamsport, and made their way thence to their homes in the South. From the best sources it is believed that Lee has yet m his command notlesß than 60,000 men. Taking the natural strategic positions in possession ol the. enemy, and tbe additional advantage of his being entrenched, General Meade has no trivial task be fore him, r He is preparing for the conflict with'all. possible' speed, coupled with great discretion.. His engineers are industriously employed in surveying the ground and selecting the beet positions, while our cavalry are engaged in feeling the enemy’s lines. .'•There - was considerable skirmishing along'the lines on Saturday night, and yesterday morning the enemy’s infantry and artillery were in .plain view on the Hagerstown road. HAGERSTOWN CAPTURED BY KILPAT RICK—POSITION OF OUR FORCES. Jokes’’Cross Roads, • • Six Miles prom Williamsport, Sunday, July 12—P. M, [Special to the New York Times.] " - " Hagerstown was captured at an. early hour thia morning, by General Kilpatrick’s cavalry division, supported by General Ames’ division of infantry, from the litn Corps. /We-took: about one hundred and pri soners, with a loss of only twenty wounded, in cluding Lieutenant Colonel Q-ould, of theSfch Michi gan Cavalry. We aIBO captured several officers and privates, who had been concealed in 1 the town Bince our occupation of iton Monday last. The citizens were overjoyed at the reappearance of our troops. Our whole army is now on the west aide of the Antietam, commanding; the pike from Sharpsburg to Hagerstown, our right resting at the latter place, ami our left at St. James’ College, two miles west of Antietam bridge, on the Williamsport road. This line is about six miles long, but as we advance be comes much contracted. The army has advanced steadily to*day in line of battle, and is now an average distance of sis. miles from Williamsport. It is reliably reported from Hagerstown that at a distance of a mile and a half from Hagerstown, on the road to Wiliiamspoit, the enemy have thrown up strong entrenchments. This is probably the. case, for unless they are crossing the river, their •steady retreat before our advance can be accounted for in no other way. . : * The enemy are making systematic levies upon the people of Maryland. They take all the horses and j leed from every farm; all thecattie but two or three -cows; all the provisions save barely enough for sixty days for the family, leaving nothing but the •gardens and the poultry yard, and all the stragglers turn in and rob them. A rooje momentouß battle than even Gettysburg : will.be fought. Our army is in good. Bpirits. : >-• ~ Some reinforcements have arrived. Heauquartbrs Armt Potomac, July 12, 4 P. M.—[Special to the 'Tribune;]— -Hagerstown was oc cupied thiß evening by our cavalry, with-but .little opposition. Very important changes of position of the, different corps have been made to-day; and should Lee remain in his present line a general-en gagement will take place to-morrow. The position of Lee’s army has been definitely ascertained. The right of hiß picket line reste about a mile south of St, "James College, two. miles westward of Jameß’ Croßß Roads. A private ofthe 47th Virginia was captured this evening by our pickets. Hestated that Lee is eh trenchiDgfrom Sfc, James’ College to Williamsport, and .that be intends togive us battle. Our forces have advanced a considerable distance. A very heavy rain, storm this afternoon has prevented im portant movements of our army. .PHILADELPHIA TROOPS DISTINGUISHED. Harrisburg,'July.l3.—The Cray Reserves and Blue Reserves, of Philadelphia, went on a recon noieaance, on Saturday, towards Hagerstown, and succeeded in opening communication with the Army of the Potomac, capturing several prisoners. They are complimented by the corps commander for their excellent behavior. The Reserves sustained no loss. The'atore trains of the regiments have arrived, and thesuffeiihgs of the men are at an endl A gentleman who haßjUßt arrived from the An tietam valley reports that heavy thunder-storms visited that region on Saturday and. Sunday eve nings. The rain fell in torrents for hours, and the mountain streams are again much swollen. THE REBEL POSITION. Harrisburg, July 15.—A gentleman who left Waynesboro yesterday at noon furnishes the follow ing interesting intelligence It is understood that the rebels, in falling back to the line of Oonoeoeheaque river from-Antietam, en countered the forces of. General Mulligan, and aFfcer several Bkirmishes in the vicinity of Clear Spring,', retired to the eastward. .This accounts, no doubt, for the reoccupatioh of Hagerstown by Gen. Ewell. Hagerstown is now held by our forces. The position of the rebel army is now reduced to a space of six miles by nine in which to manoeuvre. They have no naturally strong positions left to them, and it is believed by persons in official posi tion that.they cannot possibly escape capture or an nihilation. The report that a large number of rebels had crossed the Potomac with a wagon train is believed to be entirelv false, as there is nothing to cross the river with except a rope ferry. Two hundred Union prisoners who refused to take parole from the rebels were crossed on this ferry oh Thursday evening. ;: ’ Captain Norris, who succeeded in making his escape, brought information that, as far as he ob served, there was no considerable rebel force on the south bank of the Potomac. ADDRESS OF GEN. LEE TO THE REBEL ■' ARMY... •' Frederick, July 12.— The following general or der of General R. E. Lee, to the rebel army, issued from Hagerstown, on Saturday, was found when General Kilpatrick entered the town, on Sunday morning: . GENERAL ORDERS—NO. 16. . Headquarters Army or Northern Virginia, July 11,1863. After.the long and trying marches, endured with the fortitude that has ever characterized the soldiers of the Army of Northern Virginia, you have pene trated to the country of our enemies, and recalled to the defences of their own soil those who.wereen gaged in the invasion of ours. You have fought a fierce and sanguinary battle, which, if not attended with, the success that has. hitherto crowned your efforts, was? marked-by the Bame heroie spirit that 'has commanded the respect of your enemies, the gratitude of your country, and the admiration of mankind. Once more you are sailed upon to meet the enemy from whom,you have tom so many field-names that will never die. Once more the eyes of your country men are turned upon you, and again do wives and sisters,.fathers andmothers, and helpless children, lean/for? defence on your strong arms and brave hearts. Let .-every soldier remember that on his courage and fidelity dependß all that makes life worth having—the freedom' of his country, the honor of'biSvpeople; and the security of his home. .Let. each' heart grow strong inf - the re membrance of our glorious past, and in the thought of the inestimable blessingß for which we contend ; and, invoking the assistance; of that benign Power which has so' signally-blessed our former efforts, let us go forth in confidence to secure the peace and safety of our country. • Soldiers, your old enemy iB before you.' Win from him honor worthy : of your right cause, worthy of your comrades dead on so many illustrious fields. R. E. LEE, General commanding. REBEL WAR NEWS.—Perhaps there is nothing (says''the Hera Jd)which: better, illustratesthe forlorn condition to which the rebels are reduced, than the false news published by their newspapers. Take, for example, that which appeared in , the Richmond journals of the 7th inst. j immediately following the two great and important victories at Yicksburgand Gettysburg/. Let us set them down categorically: 1. Battle of Gettysburg, a complete rout of the Union foices. . 2. General Meade retreating towards Baltimore, and General Lee.in hot,pursuit.-. , 3. Lee captured forty thousand prisoners, and lost four thousand. 4. Grant defeated by Johnston at Vicksburg, and his whole army cut to pieces. ,■ ; 5. Banks defeated at Port Hudson and his army destroyed, with exception of live thousand men. 6. New Orleans captured by’General Taylor. 7. Union prisoners taken by General Lee refused to he paroled and preferred to go-to,Richmond. General Meade’s army frightfully demoralized. 8. Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington as good as captured. - ? D. Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suflolk evacuated by the Yankees. I 10. GenerarLec’B army in splendid spirits and masters of the field. - . 11. The terms of peace to be dictated on Northern soil.. .. \ • 12. Lee to be in Baltimore on the 9th, ASTRONOMIOAL OBSERVATIONS.—The an nual visitation of the English -Royal ' Observatory was made on the 6th of June. Professor Airy; in his report of his proceedings, says that he has com menced a series or observations on star spectra—a branch of physical'inquiry which of :late has at tracted great general interest, and which- may yet lead to most important results. He says, also, that from observations of the planet Mars, compared with other observations made in Australia, a value of the solar parallax has been obtained “ exceeding tbe received value by about l-24th -This Bhbws the earth to be nearer the sun by several mil lions'of miles than has been supposed,' and -inde? pendent investigations made of late by other astro nomers k&ve'leu to the same result. It is also men tioned in the report that a new determinatlon of the direction of movement of the solar system .h&Cbeeh made, takiDg into account a 7 very-large number ofatftra(abovebhe thousand), the result ot Whioh investigation supports the deductions already obtained t>F othei Mtronoaonii DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH. Preparations Completed for a Second Attack on Chnrlcston. We learn from 'Washington, on excellent autho rity, that the attaok on Charleston was to have begun oh Thursday last. The fibet of iromolAds, under command of Admiral Dahlgren, were rendezvousing at Port Royal and Edieto at the last accounts. These vessels have all been strengthened And put in complete order since the first attack on the birth-place of Secession, and they are now considered as impregnable for defence as they are formidable for offence. A number of wooden vessels have also been furnished with Whit worth guns, and otherwise fitted to take part in the attack. General Gilmore has command of ia large land force which’was to co-operate with the navy. The present plan was to first attack and take the batteries on Morris’ Island. „• If they were captured it waß expected that their big guns would be turned upon Fort Sumpter and the iron-dads would thus be aided in humbling the fortress which has borne so prominent A flart in the history of the rebellion. It is generally believed that most of Beauregard’s troops, were sent to join Lee, before the* battle of Gettysburg, and it iB thought there were but few men under arms at'Charleston. At the last accounts the Federal forces—both land and sea—were deter mined that Charleston should fall this time if hard fighting would accomplish it. Morgan and his Guerillas. Prom the narrative of a writer captured lately by Morgan’s troopers, ? on his way from Nashville to Louisville,iwe take the following.' It is a droll de scription of 4*at odd, freebooting chivalry: Arriving-at the line of prisoners, ! introduced my self to a : cbupie of, officers; who sat lazily on their steeds, with f each a' leg thrown over the pommel ;of hiß saddle.

The colonel, a great, good-natured provincial, -kindly offered me a bite of plug'tobacco, or “mule harness;” smiled, and softly felt of the hat I wore. Be told me hifc name was Cluke, and pointed out a ragged'lib.e bf -meij in the edge of the grove as “his regiment.”- I had heard of Cliike wnen he travelled in tbe shadow.of-that mountain of meat; Humphrey Marshall,.through Kentucky, and told him so. My hat, lor whipffl had paid a fabulous price in Nash ville, was net good enough, so he compromised and took a travelling cap'from the haversack, once mine, now the Major’s, saying it would be just the thing for “ some r bf the boys,” who 1 were short of head gear. I found Cluke .communicative, and talked withhim long about national affairs. ’He unbosom ed himselfio far as to tell' me whose command it was that had captured us, stating their numbers as high as 6,000 j be was very- sanguine about Vicks-' burg, and i could not.convince him of the wildness of his views.

A Story of Grant, The hero \iteran, who was citizen, captain, colo* nel, brigadie/and major general, within a space of nine month! though a rigid disciplinarian, and a perfect ironjdes in the discharge of hie official du ties, could eioya good joke, and is always ready to perpetrate o[e when su opportunity presents. . In deed, amongnia acquaintances, he is much renown ed for bis eqentric humor, as he is for his skill and bravery as acommaiider. When Gifnt was a brigadier in southeast Mis souri, he ccimanded an expedition against the rebels unde) Jeff. Thompson, in northeast Arkan sas. The dstance from the starting point of the expedition ft the supposed rendezvous or the rebels was about j>ne hundred'and ten miles, and the greater pprion of the route lay through a howl ing wilderijUß. The imaginary suffering that our soldiers eulured during the first two days of their marcl was enormous. Xt was impossible to steal £>r “confiscate” uncultivated real estate, antf not a- hog, or- a chicken, or an ear or corn, was anywhere to be seen. On the -thlil day, however, affairs looked more hopeful; folia few small specks of ground, in a state of partial cultivation, were here and there visible. On that dty Lieutenant Wickfield, of an Indiana cavaliy reament, commanded the advance-guard, consisting a eighty mounted men. About noon he came up to! a small farm house, from the outward appearancSof which he judged.that there might be something it-to eat inside. He halted his company, dismounted and with two second lieutenants entered the dwellire. .He knew that Grant’s incipient fame had alreadf gone out through all that country, and it ooeured to him that by representing; himself to be the General he might obtain the beat the house afforded, po, assuming ; a very imperative de meanor, he accosted the inmates of the house, and told them le must have something for himself and staff to eal They desired to know who he was, and he toll them that he was Brigadier General Grant. Atthe sound of that name they flew around with alarwing alacrity, and served up about all they had ii the house, taking great pains all the while to nake loud professions of loyalty. The lieutenant) ate as much as they could of the not pYer-sumpiiousmeal, but. which was, nevertheless, good for tbit country; and demanded what was to pay. “ Ndhing.” And they went on their way re joicing. . I •' In the miantime General Grant, who had halted his army .afew miles further back for a resting spell, came in scht of, and.; was rather favorably im pressed wiffi the appearance of, this same house. Kiding up jo the fence in front of the door,hede sired to knaw if they would cook him a meal. “ No,” slid a female, in a gruff voice, “ General Grant andnis staff have just been here andeaten evefytftiniTin the house except one pumpkin pie.” “Humps!” murmured Grant; “what is your name?” J “Sehidge,” replied the woman. Casing a half-dollar in at the door, he asked if she_wotfld keep‘that pie till he Bent an officer for it, to whim she replied that she would., . , . Tha/'evehing, after the camping ground had been selectia, the various regiments were notified that therelwould be a grand parade at half-past six, for orderf,' Officers would see that their men all turned out, &C. ! " ■ : In fiyeminutes the camp was in a perfect uproar, and ffijed'with all sorts of rumors. Some thought tbes&ietoy was upon them, it being so unusual to havifyarades when on a march.. . At half-past six the parade was formed,'ten oolumns deep, and nearly a quarter of a mile in length. Alter the usual routine of ceremonies, the A, A. A; G. l read the following order: ; Headquarters,. Army nr the Field. — Special Order No**—Lieutenant Wickfield, of the Indiana -cavalry, having on this day, eaten every thing in Mrs. Selvidge’s house, at the crossing of the Irontcn and Pocahontas, and Black River and Cape Girardeau roads, except one pumpkin pie, Lieut. Wickfield iB hereby ordered to return with an escort of one hundred cavalry, and eat that pie also. 4 ? U. S. GRANT, - - ' Grig. Gen. commanding. Grant’s orders were law, and no soldier ever at tempted to evade them. At 7 o’clock the lieutenant filedoiit ofcamp. with his hundred men, amid the cheers of. the entire army. The escort concurred in stating that he devoured the whole of the pie, and seemed to relish it.— Chicago Spint ofthe West. The Anglo-Rehel Navy. London, June 27.—1 have noticed your account of the many monitors now building, and am glad to hear that they are so’rapidly nearing completion ; lor I snv afraid that you will.need them all should these vessels of Laird’a and the one at .Glasgow get away. The friends of the* rebels here are confident that they will get them off? to sea ; and when I see and hear around me such treaohery and double-deal ing my heart fails' me, and I ' sometimes think that they will most certainly do so. • . You will have noticed; the Attorney General’s speech during the Cobden debate in the House of Commons. Such a one-sided, wretched display by a law officer of a Government was never seen or heard of before; Hiß whole speech waß a tissue of spiteful recrimination against the Government and the American people: and this man will be the prosecuting officer m all cases of violated neutrality. Should the Government even stop the rebel rams and bring them to trial/ you and I would be very sorry to entrust our c»Be to such an attorney. Then I have fair grounds for taking the worst view of the case,'and call it'a mock—all mock—a sham. ■ The three formidable rams now building in this country are a serious matter; for you have not aB yet anything to eope with them, except the Roa noke, and, in point of speed she will be far behind them., .. . Laird’s two'are nearly all plated, and there is no doubtrthat they will both be launched about the 16th, of duly. They are at work on them day and night, and even begin at'midnight Monday, morning. ,The Glasgow vesßel 1 will be launched about the first of July. ? In size it is about the same as Laird’s; but; the wood backing is six inches thicker, and it haa a projecting horn below the water line' which is'four and a half feet long, made of layers of plates riveted together, .rlf they are not stopped there is nothing ,to prevent them being on your coast in September. . I have learned additional facts inreference to the trial of the Alexandra. I cannot call it a trial, for it is nothing-more than a mock affair j the. first day. the judge predeolded the oase, -and he also' rejected eertain evidence, and ryhen he comes to the summing up of the'oase,'it eohtains nothing relative {to thoqueation at issue. —lt«ia true I sthe ca»e'is to be *re* argued,' but you may rest assured that it will end the game way. ij ao feUofcin* the n tion, as nine-tenths of the influential people of this country are bent upon your destruction as a great nation—secretly, if possible, or, if circumstances should arise, such as getting France to join them, then openly war. I have watched the ebbing and flowing of opinion here regarding your war, and I cannot, I am sorry to say, come to any other conclu sion. Your cause has many warm friends here, but their influence is, I am afraid, on the decline, prin cipally through the disaffection in some of your loyal States, which, in itself, has immensely strengthened your enemies here. An Interesting Letter from Mr. Tliurlow Weed. The following letter appeara In the Albany Even ing Journal ;. Albany, Friday, July 10, 1863. DearStr: Since replying briefly to your letter, it has occurred to me that I may properly submit portions of that reply to the public through the Evening Journal. ' I am not only without a Presidential candidate, but whenever the subject ia brought to my mind, it turns from it impatiently. There is a primary and paramount question to be determined first, and_*hat is, whether we are to have a Union and a 'Govern ment? If I haveany views upon this question, they Are to hold the Presidency in abeyance as a reward for him, whoever be may be, that will crußh Rebel lion and restore the Union., I did not urge the removal of General Hooker, (although I have believed that he, like his prede cessors in command of the Army of the Potomao, proved himself unequal to the management of a great army in battle,) nor am I entitled to any cre dit for the fortunate selection of General Meade, I did, in March last, when troops were wanted, urge the appointment of General McCleJlan in the place of General . Halleck. The effort was unsuc cessful ; and while you inform me that the circum atancea.are known in Boston, I am not at liberty to speak of them. \ J ■ At an earlier day ! made an effort to give the country the benefit of General Butler’s services. I did so because I know personally that he was prompt, efficient, and wise in the discharge of his duties at Annapolis and at Fortreeß Monroe. But while the President was anxioußMo avail himself of the services of General Butler, there were difficul ties in regard to a suitable command, which could not be overcome. I have refused to unite with those who seek to displace the Secretary of War; and I do cot sympa thize .with those who malign and abuse him. i can not, while remembering Mr. Stanton, “faithful among the faithless” in Mr. Buchanan’s Oabinet, cease to remember him with gratitude. I know that the country, iB indebted to the courage and fidelity of Mr. Stanton, during the two months preceding the 4th of March, iB6O, for moat that was left of it. There was imbecility at the head -of the Govern ment, aDd treason in its arms. Mr. Stanton aided in bringing Gen. Dixinto the Treasury, with whom he watched, and, as far as possible, thwarted the treasonable conspiracies of his colleagues. Mr. Stanton brought to the discharge of his du ties, as Secretary of-War, industry, ability, in tegrity, aDd patriotism. Those who deny him all or either of these qualities do so maliciously, or in ignorance of his character; and, with such qua- ; .litieß, I do not think tbe President is called upon to dispense with his services. 1 rejoice that your gallant son has “conquered his prejudices” against colored soldiers.* lam not sur prised thathe should say, in his letter from'Port Hud-' -son, that the "negro regiment put our ibfiite troops to the WusA.” This senseless prejudice 'soldiers ought to put air who oherish it “to'the* blush.” But the prejudice is weafing itself out,’ ortlj ought.to say that, the; freedmen themselves arewear-- ving.ifc out by.theirgood conduct in camp and their gal-* lantry in the experience of-the pastnnd the - pageAof history ought to have : vindicated this eternal - ly Gutqastjace in the name .of reaßon^commßjj-sejwenand self-preservation, should we colored man : ' battles’; in -Ap War :waged i. expressly 1 to- ex tend and, strengthen .the heritage of slavery 1 in the Kevolution’the Blave fought with hU master. J n . the war of 1612 our glorious navy was in debted to the gallantry of negro sailors for its victories. , Com. McDonough bore testimony to their . heroism on Lake. Champlain. General Jackson thanked them, in General Orders, for their gallantly at New Orleans. Our officers are con strained to.do them justice now, whenever they are engaged. And fyet jiheße j“ prejudices ” exist. In : deed, the colored Bohiier is too frequently exposed to insult, and. sometimes, alas, to outrage l It is feared—without cause I devoutly hope—that a co lored'regiment from Boston, that'is to pass through New York on Monday, may occasion disturbance. Let such wrong be averted. Our great commercial city cannot afford such disgrace. Nothing is asked for this colored regiment but the privilege of going unmolested to the field. .Forbear, no w, New York ers, and when, it these negroes, orthose of them who survive, return, have proved recreant, I will not only join you in spuming them, but will cast the fim stone myself. . - There 1b a cause, however, for the hatred of the negro, and the indignities to which he is subjected that should be remembered and reprobated. The daily and - offensive obtrusions of the New York with the too frequent and even more offen sive obtrusions of Wendell Phillips, feed and foster popular prejudices against the people of color. > But recently this traitor or fanatic, or traitor and fa natic, exhibited a mulatto girl to a sympathetic au ditory for the purpose of sayiog that neither peace nor prosperity could return to our country until, by a general amalgamation; its blood, universally de moralized, should become thus mingled! And such teachings, with itsi approval, are scattered broadcast among the people by"the Tribune, exciting general disgust, and aggravating the existing, prejudices againßt an unfortunate race. Detestable as was the course of .Yallandigham, in and out of Congress, I would have allowed him to rail on. But inasmuch as he was arrested, the Presi dent did quite right in sending him iato rebeldom, where he belongs. But he did not do his-whole duty. Phillips should have gone with the Ohio dis unionißta, for both are disloyal, the Massachusetts man being the Bfcntr-jjiiu-Dixie,. Jhere_would : nave Been nv noM&- ru entations here or elsewhere that any honest man should regret.” Yours, truly, THURLOW WEED. PuiLOi S. Shelton, Esq. l)r. TJeber on Emancipation in Missouri. The following is a private letter to a friend in St, Louis of tlie distinguished scholar and publicist, Dr. Francis Lieber, of New York: My Dear Sip. : Is not your emancipation a plain sign-poßtona rugged, perhaps miry mountain-path ol history? Is it not a distinct and, to me it would appear, well-planted fact, worth more than a dozen victories, or if people do not consider emancipation a desirable thing, at any rate a fact more significant and more conducive than ever bo many meetings, speeches, publications, platforms, elections, and civil ebbs and flows? I cannot help thinking that this is one of those things on which the manly thinker'puts his finger and says t “Here is a stage—the end of a great complication of things, the beginning of a newline of march!” And is not this march toward Ken tucky I I should like muoh to have your calm views about it. You observe that I have spoken about the weighty importance, and historical significance of the great event only, an importance and significance equally gieat for a lover of slavery, and a lover obits elimi nation. As for myself, who consider slavery an anachronism in the nineteenth century—a festering splinter wider the toe-nail of fair America—l re joice at it, although I-know that ,it will not allay Missouri’s heart-burning for a,time to come yet. !• It eeems to. me that the emancipation of your. State is the: upon which the insur gents,in their confusing pride, did not calculate, next after the rising itself of the North against the rebellion. Would they have ventured, nad they thought it would come to this 1 "What you have done seems to me a new water shed in the hißtory of humanity—an up-heaval which makes the waters course henceforth in dif ferent directions. This is a rambling letter, but when the heart of a man is very full, he cannot help running round to his neighbor and have a warm talk with him. If now we could learn that Vicksburg had . fallen, and that Port Hudson had surrendered, and that Lee has been captured, and—but it is very easy to write out an If programme. Still, great things do happen, as Missouri has shown. Many a man, not .here alone, but also on the other side of the Atlantic, will sing, a fervent Te Deum laudamus in the templeof his soul. The banner, inscribed with, the words, truth, jus tice, glory, has been carried a few steps further into the territory of “ the spirit that denies.” . If I write exultingly, it is because I am a student of history, and know what it means that Missouri has joined the legionß of civilization. Ever your-friend, FRANCIS LIEBER. HEINTZELMAN.—A writer in the New York Titties thus describes; thiß admirable veteran: In physique, Heintzelman is a man of fifty-six or fifty« seven yeais, of middle stature, and of.a wiry build, which betokens those wonderful powers of physi cal ehdurahce for which he is distinguished. Hiß hair and beard are firm in texture and plentifully mixed with the gray of long service. - His expression partakes of his other general, characteristics. It,- too, 1b finn, Bteadfaßt, resolute, capable of fight. In no respect is he yet weakened by age. Every mo tion betokens the sound, healthful,\enduring man, competent to fatigue and ignorant alike of : nerves and dyspepsia. . Intellectually, he is a difficult character to Btudy. Morally, you know him to be pure, brave, honest; but also diffident and silent. He lacks “cheek." A ' dash of impudence would amazingly improve him. And so he covers up and conceals himself. The quiet, reserved, and gentlemanly person seated at headquarters you recognize only as a remarkably truthful man, cautious in opinion and never exag gerating a fact; intelligent, thoughtful, competent; but you can hardly imagine he is the veteran of so many battles, and that m the heat of action he is electrically full of fire and elan. But you do know that he is a great general, one of those men who are grandest when in .action. "When we. come to look :up the record, we find that the Army of the Potomac is the mausoleum of generals. ‘Few have come out unscathed from the fiery ordeal of criticism bestowed upon it; but what savage Knight of the Q,uill has yet done else than honor Heintzelman ) \ RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTH.—The Lon don Times, of July 7, says: “ Mr. Roebuck haa failed to show that any good would ensue from the House adopting his motion. The speech of Mr. Gladstone, who opposed the motion, may be taken as an expo sition of enlightened English opinion on the subject. He condemns the war; he condemns < Mr. Lincoln’s incitements to servile rebellion; but he denies that England and France can abate the miseries of the contest by : such ah act aa' the recognition of .the South. He believes that the South can maintain its independence, and that it would be,expedient for the Federate to desist from a hopeless, and, there fore, an unjustifiable war. The Times says it is plainly oUr duty, as well as our policy, to bear with this misguided people for some time longer. It is tbe opinion of the best judges that the Northern States must raise another large army or allow the war gradually to wear out. The conscription is languishing—most people think it can never be en forcedand even when the.new levies are made, it will be six months at least before they are ready for leaving, and next spring, before they can be used. This being the case, is it not better to wait and see what the next few monthß will bring forth! It may be that the failure of so many enterprises, and the wasting away of theirenormous hosts, will at length teach the • Northern people. wUdom. The South may then-indicate their willingneßß to receive the mediation whioh, if offered now, might give a new impulse to the war.” •••••' A HISTORIC PARALLEL.—History is full of equivocating, shuffling, and trimming great men.,, like Governor Seymour. Three hundred years and more before the Christian era, when Philip, of Macedon, was threatening the liberties of the Athe nians, they had men whose love of party was great er than their love of country.

Governor Seymour, judging from hie speech on the Fourth of July, must-have been studying Athenian history. His language is an exact copy of that of the Athenian copperhead, which is described so finely by Demosthenes in one of his orations :.“For what,.i£schimes, does .your elo quence profit the country!

Missouri, under the guiße of a plan of emancipation, in declaring the exemption of slave ♦ r ° fla i t ?K tl ? n » IB denying to the people the right to elect their own rulers, and in refusing to the people the privilege of voting upon the prj tended ordinance of emancipation, passed by that body, are requested to meet at the court house in thiß city, on Thursday evening, the 9th instant, at eight o'clock, to make such expression as the ex traordinary circumstances of the time demand. "We make the following valuable extract from the speech of Mr. Charles D. Drake, a distinguished leader of the Emancipationists in Missouri: The only provisions of the ordinance, which have apy direct present tendency to destroy the institu tion of slavery among us, are those whi’oh declare that‘‘all slaves hereafter brought into this State, and not now belonging to citizens of this State, shall thereupon be freeand that “all slaves removed by consent of their owners to any seceded State, after the passage by such State of an act or ordi nance of secession, and hereafter brought into thiß State by their owners, shall thereupon be free." For so much let us be grateful to our masters of the Convention. But not so, not so, for that cap-sheaf of their work, which, from‘the date of the ordinance, exempts slaves from all taxation through all future time. The master may hold the slave, and profit by, live upon, luxuriate in the availß of his labor, with the protection of the State, and every other benefit that taxation is designed to procure, but not a cent of tax is he to pay upon his slaves t The owner of a house . which may be destroyed by tempest or fire at any moment; the'owner of horses or cattle, which are hia, means of living, and which may die at'any time, must pay tax upon his house, horses and cattle, just as if they were to be;his always; but the slave owner to pay none upon his slave, because, seven years hence, the Blave is to be transmuted into,a servant t; The white laborer is to be taxed out of . bis hard-earned pittance, but the profit from slave labor is to be diminished by taxation never a single cent f The very institution which has blasted Missouri is to be henceforth her untaxed pet. Property assessed in iB6O at some millions of dollars, and even now, in the midst of war, claimed by slaveholders when they would por tray the wrong to them of emancipation to be worth that amountj iB withdrawn from taxation, and the deficiency of revenue consequent-thereon is to be made up by increased levy upon all other pro perty and all vocations. And, worst of all, thiß immunity is directly, and almost wholly in favor of-rebels and rebel sympathizers; for it is to .such' that the great mass oi slaves,.in Missouri belong,! .IWhat is this but a premium set upon > slavery, a‘reward tendered to disloyalty, a sop thrown .to. traitors? Did that convention suppose that in this exemption in favor of those who have brought measureless calamities upon Missouri, they represented her loyal people? No, they knew they did not. ' But it was a body bound by association, '.feeling,'and interest, to slavery, and, true to its in stincts. it made this last grab in favor of an institu tion which, if taxed to-day to the full value of all .the-slaves in* Missouri, would nqtxepay her Union, •men what it' haß cost them.in these two years of war, •'spoliation, and death. Shame upon such heartless rapacity! Down with'that which breeds it! -Away with those who ordain it as fundamental law. in Missouri! --WESTPOTNT.—Inihe reminiscences of an “ Old Soldier,” publißhed- Journal; a number of its West Point graduatea are mentioned with interest. I was to hear, a graduate of West Point describe -soSVof the peculiarities of Buell and McClellan.* We were talking of Buell’s energy, when he remarked “ that if Buell had as much energy in his head as in his foot, he certainly would be one of the most vigo rous men in the world, Buell,” Baid he, “is the only man that ever attended Weßt Point able to kick a football over north barracks. The man who is able to raise a ball to the eaves must possess great physical power. The traditions of the Academy givethename of but one man who succeeded in kick ing the ball over the barracks, and that name is Don Carlos Buell. When Buell was a lieutenant a large, burly fellow gave him some insolence, and even for got himself bo far aB to challenge Buell to fight him a fist fight. This was too much for the young lieu tenant. With the rapidity of thought he knocked the fellow down, and, with one kick, btoke three of his ribs. While at the academv, Buell was the leader of a set of cadets who were then considered aristo crats ; be would descend to nothing low or vulgar as a boy, and he still retains his characteristic-hoaesty of purpose and pride of character. Our friend also told ua that-among the tests of strength in his time at'the academy was the grip of the knees when on horseback. A man who could make a horse squeal by gripping him with the knees was considered a No. 1 rider, . Among those who excelled were Mc- Clellan and Fitz John Porter. .The former could make a horse and the latter would make him squeal and switch his tail. L an oastee county regiments.— Another regiment from Lancaster county ia being organized at Camp Curtin, Harrisburg. The men have enlisted for three months, and many of them are from Lancaster city. , Prof, Wickersham has been elected colonel, and Captain B. F. Cox, major. We did not learn.the name of the lieutenant colonel, and in fact are not certain whether that position has been filled. There have been fifteen three*months’ companies raised in Lancaster .county since the last call of the Governor for troops. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, Philadelphia, Ju1y13, 1863. There is very little change in the position of* money affairs on Third street. Gold wa3 more active on the news of resistance to the draft in New York, and the re ported postponesent of it in this city, which latter was considered an evidence of weakness on the part of the Government. Government • securities are firm ; sales beingmade at Saturday f s figures. Money is extremely easy at 5@6 per cent. The five- twenty loan is attracting more attention than it has for soma time past. Kot only is the amount of conversions increasing, but thereis a more general in quiry for the terms and conditions of subscriptions. This comge principally from that class of people who have been waiting for snbstantial victories on the part of the Union, before they would place entire confidence in it. Vicksburg, Gettysburg, and the promise of Port Hudson,'Charleston, Mobile, and the defeat of Lee in Maryland, is having its effect, and should these promises be fulfilled, a renewed impulse will be given to the loan, and a still more substantial token of a people’s regards be entiusted to the coffers of a great nation."
