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

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

must make one more effort. Let there be no waver

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.

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

REBEL WAR NEWS.—Perhaps there is nothing
(says''the Hera Jd)which: better, illustratesthe forlorn

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.

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.

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. 'J’hey were'majors and colonel. Major
proved quickest, and asked me to let him see that
. haveisackv A parcel of. unwashed linen, of which
I had hurriedly divested myself in the morning," a
toilet caße-with soaps, were “just what he wanted;”
a tooth-brush he did not.want, so he gave it to me,
and I stood forth plucked as clean as a young robin.
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. He'finally invited me to come along
with promising me “ lots of items,”
; aDd assuringr me he would- inform James Gordon
Bennett that John Morgan’s got your mule.” I
: advanced-; the. idea that Johnny could not steal'
enough to fongeme, for I was a rapacious eater.
So Glukeintroduced me to Johnny. I found Gen.
Morgan' in thi centre of a'bevy of ladies standing

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: ;

tempted to evade them. At 7 o’clock the lieutenant

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

'soldiers ought to put air who oherish it “to'the*

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. They had men who
cried out in the hour of gloom and disaster, Didn’t
we tell you so; didn’t we warn you of the danger of
sectional strife; didn’t we tell*you that you under
rated the power of; the adversary!”. 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! You now descant on
what is past and gone } as if a physician, when called
to patients in a sinking Btate, should give no ad-'
vice, nor prescribe any course by which the disease
migbt-be .cured; but, after one of them, had died,
and the last offices were performing t 6 his remains,
should follow him to the grave and' expound that
the poor man aever would have died had' such Ana
such things .only .-been done. Moon-stricken! is•; it
now, that jat length you, too, speahput! __ During
the 'opening danger to the Athenians, .ASSQhlmes,.
was bobbing for eels, in the .Mediterranean, while
Seymour was fishing for pollywQgi in Fox riv§j\—

Meeting of Protest In St. liouis.
The St. Louis Democrat of Friday Bays one of tlae
largest, moat earnest, and most popular demon
stration b that have been ever witnessed in this city,
Was that which took place last evening,in the ro
tundo of the court house, In response to the fol
lowing call:
wial S ih! uto t i? J ? ul f, who are opposed to the
UhS?o°fn? 1 ?i, 1 * te ® tatc ttonveation, in adopting*
3 e maintenance of the institution of
slavery ip. 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."
The stock market was dull but firm. But few of the
regular interest-payisg securities are changing hands
now, the attention being mainly distributed among the
fancies; State,fi>?es were held at par; new city sixes sold
at ICB, the old at 104; Camden and Amboy sixes, 1870, at
