BVJSSMAN 4C0.. 10» JoNB3’Alley. 23 North SIXTH Street, WEDNESDAY, JULY S 3, 1863, Tlie Battle of Gettysburg. To the Editor of The Press: • Sm : I ; havejußt returned from a visit to the field of the great battle at Gettysburg, and desire to note a few points for the benefit of your readers, especi ally in regard to the first day’s fight on Wednesday, the Ist of July, which I think has not received its due share of notice. The fortunate audacity of Gen. Reynolds on that; day*, although it cost him his life, and was attended with the sacrifice of nearly half his corps, undoubt edly flared the battle and the army, by holding Lee’s vastly superior force at bay until the other corps of Meade’s army could come up and take the positions they so well maintained, and which were absolutely impregnable, as the result proved. On the other hand, had we been the attacking instead of the dec fending party, (as but for the events of Wednesday we would have bieeii,) we should have found Lee’s lines equally impregnable. No more formidable der fences were ever erected on ahy field ; and the rebel army must have wrought with astonishing perse-. ~veraifvc-»YsU.in,u 4ft txv._tQ_ have put up their milC3 of entrenchments and breaßtWOmopvviiK-innumerable rifle-pits, in so short a time, , - One of the most -brilliant' and at the .‘same time bloody, 1 affairs of Wednesday, occurred cloae to the town in a deep cut on the railroad. Here the gal* lanM49th Pennsylvania, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Dwight," (its Colonel, Roy Stone, command ing'a brigade on that day) was stationed by order of the latter, with instructions to hold it to the last ex tremity. The regiment numbered less than five hundred, rank and file. The ravine or cut was deeper than a man’s height, In this position they were assailed by a rebel brigade, afterwards ascer tained to have been sixteen hundred Btrong. Col. Dwight had, by direction of Gen. Stone, planted his colors considerably to the left of the left flank of’his regiment, which misled the enemy and caused them to throw away their first fire by misdirecting it!. The 149th then opened on the enemy, and after a dreadful struggle repulsed them with immense loss. After a time they rallied and returned, making a furious at tempt to carry the position by assault. Intliis they were again handsomely repulsed, when; our brave fellows rushed upon them with fixed bayonets and completed their overthrow. ?.Oolonei Dwight (who is lying severely wounded ~ at the house of David Wills, Esq., of together with many other of bur brave officers, where they aie receiving every attention from him and his amiable lady,) assured me that 'at the close. of the struggle there were not, in his opinion, over, two hundred and fifty of the rebel brigade that at tacked him left—an opinion more than confirmed by : what he was told by some of the rebel officers after-, wards, when, wounded and disabled, he was tempo rarily a prisoner in their handaj and who informed him that they brought less than two hundred out of the'sanguinary and dreadful struggle. ' Of the gal lant 149th only seventy-nine were remaining at the clbse of the day. “Ofthese, forty odd were prisoners, the rest were killed or wounded. Of twenty- five line officers, only/five remained uninjured and able for duty. Colonel Dwight was struck from his horse by a spent- ball, had two . horses killed under him, and was finally wounded by a Minid- ball, which passed clear through the upper part of his thigh; yet, thus; wounded, he kept the field for several hours after, until, exhausted by loss ,of blood, he sunk on the bloody field. At the house of Mri Wills, where, he is lying, are also lying Captain Freedley, of the regulars, danger ously" wounded, Captain Rexford, of Michigan, Cap tain Jones, and aeveral others. General R<jy Stone, and Colonel Morrow were also there, but, their wounds permitting it, have left for their own homes. Tweed not; say that they received and are receiving every kindness and attention at the hands of this excellent family. Mrs. "W. is the daughter of Judge Smyser, of Norristown. Her husband has been charged by Governor Curtin with the duty of grant ing transportation for the bodies of the slain, and to their friends in charge of their remains. He is also getting up a minute map of the battle ground, show ing the position of all the hospitals and places where the wounded are, or all the marked graves* which will be of great service to those seeking their friends or their remains. This, too, lam informed, was by order or at the suggestion of Governor Curtin, whose attention to our soldiers and their friends cannot be too much extolled, . . • I must say a word, in conclusion, injustice to the inhabitants of the once beautiful, now desolate, town of Gettysburg : No people could manifest a wanner sympathy or more active benevolence with and towards their gallant defenders. Besides the spacious mansion of Mr. "Wills already referred to, and whioh is thrown open 1 without reserve for .the wounded and their friends, there are scoreß of others whose owners and occupiers have and are doing the flame thing ; anilJ the ladies, besides the careß thus voluntarily in curred, are indefatigable in their attendance at the ' hospitals also, where, like ministering spirits, they are ever found assuaging pain, cheering-the suffer ing and desponding, and .praying with the dying.. Individual acts of meanness and unworthiness there undoubtedly are to be found ; butfit is not jußt to stigmatize, as some have done, a whole community for the faults of a few, or to ignore on that account the worth and services of the community generally which I am sure will long be held in kind and grate ful remembrance by those who have enjoyed them. There arc, it is unfortunately too true, many Cop perheads in the place, both male anil female, of the most virulent and offensive type; but they are known and marked, and it is to be hoped will yet meet, with their deserts, One, the most reckless •and unscrupulous among them, has already found his way to Fort McHenry on' a charge of treason. Let others beware, lest his doom be theirs also. The eye of justice is upon them, and the foot ofthe avenger hard after them. The loyal sentiment of a free people will not always be defied with impunity. I remain yours truly, = . < M. ; Norristown, July 19, 1863.' : . The July Rebellion. To the Editor of The Press: Sir: Hereafter, whenweperuße the pages of his tory, and read of the bloody insurrections of France, we will think of those of America. "When we read accounts of the Revolution of July, we will recall to our minds the. attempted July Revolution of New York. July, the . month of all monthß,. most sacred as containing the natal day of our indepen dence has been dishonored by this unholy insurrec tion. Paris has had her July Revolution, New Pork her July Rebellion. Paris may think of hers with pride ; New York will blush when she remem bers hers. The one whb right, the other dishonora ble. . And how different the causes which produced them! ~ , • The French Government, to use the language of Victor Hugo, “ denied sovereignty to the nation, and liberty to the citizens. In other words, it denied to the naiionwhat made it a nation,'and to the citizen what made him a citizen.” These rights the people de manded, and, to a great extent, these they obtained. In this country the nation' has what makes It a na tion, and the citizen has what makes him A citizen. Yet, notwithstanding this, the insurrectionists of New York attempted to take from the nation what constitutes it a nation, to take from it its sovereignty, to take from the Government the power to execute its lawß, to taxe from the nation that which ena bles it to exist in time of war—the power to call forth an army to defend the life of the nation and theliberties of its citizens. .The July Revolution of Paris was a forward ’movement," but the New York Rebellion a retrograde movement in the political state of the nation. Enlightenment produced the former, delusion the latter; lovers of their country stirred up the one, seditious politicians instigated the other. Mobs are tools; . they effect what others plan. The common people never re volt unices they are led or influenced by those above them. Thus it was in the French Revolution. The people of France never attempted a revolution until they were urged by the journals, by the pamphlets, anuby the inflammatory harangues of their supe riors in rank. So was it in our neighboring city. Its inhabitants would never have. resisted-the exe cution of the laws had it not'been for prominent men such aB Vallandigham, Burr, and Wood, and Buch journals as ! the World. Such sympathize with the rebellion, and even .stimulated the rioterß by articles containing treasonable sentiments. These riots aie the legitimate "fruits of the views they have sown in the minds of their followers. Induce men to imbibe rebellious ideas and you change them into rebels. Make men rebels and you render the Government unstable, then anarchy. Let ub "be active ; let us resist mob rule, .To dd this effectually oppose those sentiments which, would produce it; discountenance all who are not heart and soul in favor of the Government. _ Very respectfully, : T. B. N. Philadelphia, July 18,1863. An Acknowledgment.

Old Joe Ross, of-Montgomery, Hamilton county, had all his horses taken by Morgan. Joe is a But ternut. It is said he swore so hard that the atmos phere was blue around his locality. The Cincinnati papers have postponed the cap ture of Morgan for another twenty-four hours; .a vexatious delay which compels us to disappoint our readers. —' We learn that there was a company of Yallandig hammers under arms at Hamilton to resist Morgan. They called their rendezvous “Camp. Vallandlg ham.” 1 We are informed that a lady, who resides near Branch Hill, killed one of Morgan’s freebooters. He •was robbing her house and- Bhe shot Jiim. Spirited woman, we also learn that the only Union mem ber of the well-known Buckingham family, of Hamil ton county, killed one of the same gang. Joe Cooper’s u Stockbridge Chief” was not cap tured by Morgan. It was a colt of Stoolcbrldge, be longing to Mr; Stevens, valued at one thousand dol lars. 7 They took six horses from Stevens, and"his neighbors: do noWret their gizzards about it, for good reasons. Stevens, it is said, holds'the “nig gers ”in Morgan’s: train responsible, not himself. This is about the meanest development of Copperheadism yet heard of in Ohio. Colonel John H. Branchy of Branch Hill, on the Little Miami Railroad, was sergeant-at-armß of the Ohio Senate in 1G59-GO. He has been.clasaed among the ultra Copperheads of Ohio. ThC'other day when John Morgan’s his farm they ap-. propriated one of.the Colonel’s fine horses. He seized his gun and shot at his quondam friends. They fired in return, but nobody was hur t.- It is said that Colonel Branch now repudiates all asso ciation with Copperheads. The only. newspaper reporter who can Inform an. anxious public where Morgan is, and. whither he is: heading,*is a' prisoner, in Morgan’s hands. He is not, consequently, lira condition to. communicate with the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, 1863, Negro Organization in the Southwest— ; Conversations with Adjutant General Thomas* A writer in the New York Times gives report of a series of conversatiomfwith Adj. Gen. Thomas, re viewing the valuable labors of this officer through out the'Westem army, among the contrabands, and in the plantations. “We have reason to be grate ful,” says the writer, “for the mercy which has Baved the life.of the adjutant generat or the army. The disease .took deep hold of a frame exhausted with over-work and care, and brought one of the purest and most devoted patriots in thecountry—in many respects one of the ablest, and in all respects - the most valuable officer; in the army—quite up to death’s door. There was joy in the War Depart ment over the telegram written in the soldiers’ hospital in Louisville, that the crisis of disease was passed, and that the veteran was saved.to the public servioe.” We extract a portion of this highly interesting account: , Well, I went to Columbus; but, without even taking time to rest at this place, passed on to Hele na, Ark. Here I iound General Prentiss in com mand,whom I regard as a most faithful and worthy officer. General Prentiss had only, recently suc ceeded Gorman. . i : General Prentißß entered heartily into the work. He himself had had an opportunity to see, while imprisoned at the South, the use which-waß made of the negroes t for he had a colored sentinel to gtiard him! He earnestly requested the privilege of organ izing a colored regiment, whioh I granted, - In •• the afternoon of the <iay on which I arrived, the troops were all drawn up-iu-line_to_the_nn»T»bor-of about •uv e-mqusand. Alter inspecting the.command I was . called upon for a speech. I briefly defined'my gene ral-plan,and told thesoldiers that they who were in the West might, perhaps, feel that the authorities at W ashington did not think a great deal about , their interests, and did not appreciate their services.' But I would assure them, that if they had formed any such impreßsionß they were greatly mistaken. The fact of the Government sending me, the Adjutant- General of the whole army, there, was an evidence of it. I came to speak to the .whole people. I knew no difference. It was my duty to look over the ' whole, and I was not ttt-for my place unless I did so. From there I went to Lake Providence, where I found a portion of Grant’s army, McPherson’s corps. Landing on the plantations on the bank of the river, we proceeded to the lowest point then occupied by our troops—Young’s Point—nearly opposite Vicks burg. There I addressed the troopß by divisions. At this place I met General Logan. It had been claimed by many Copperheads that he was .opposed to the policy adopted by the President toward the negroes, and that I would not only not receive any encouragement from him, but would meet with open oppoaitioD. General Logan being sick duringthe delivery of my speech, laid in a comfortable posi tion in a wagon near by, where he could 'distinctly hear what waß said. As /soon as I had concluded, loud calls were made for “ Logan,” and he was compelled, notwithstanding his feeble and sickly condition, to respond. ; Be endorsed fully every smti* ment uttered by me, and said that he would never leave the army until this accursed rebellion was put down; and was wilting to pise every proper agency for its suppression . He was for availing ourselves of the services of the ne groes to the fullest extent. The wile and children of General Logan, you may not know, were driven by his wile’s father out of his own house, in Illinois, because of their loyal senti ments. I organized two colored regiments in his corps, At Milliken’s Bend, the piacevnext visited, I or ganized five regiments of black . Louisiana volun teers, and appointed, as a general officer over them, an officer of the subsistence department—named Hawkins—a most worthy man. .The great draw back to raising regiments here, espeeiallyas regard ed operations in the interior, was the necessity of the constant changing and inbveffient of G-rant’s army. In Louisiana all the planters had driven their slaves back beyond the Yazoo/ But still all the expeditions which were sent on the other side of the river to endeavor ,to get in the flank of-the enemy, assisted the negro movement a great deal. Large numbers of slaves came ih, and one regiment was organized on the spot. After we took possession; of Grand Gul£ a thousand negroes came in, Col. Shepard, of the 3d Missouri "Volunteers, one of the oldest and best of the oflicers, promptly offered:to take charge of a regiment. I was so; muchlpleased with his zeal in thejnatter, and his promptness, that I told him to go on and raise a brigade, and I would insist upon his being made a brigadier general. Three of those regiments are already organised. , Notwithstanding that the guerillas in this'neigh borhood.(who'are-m'ostly'men owning no [property, either in negroes or otherwise) scour the country around, and instantly shoot down every negro who endeavors to make his escape, they are arriving at Milliken’B Bend 'at the rate of seventy-five to. one hundred a day, and they beg to be placed in military organizations. GENERAL GRANT. I was with Gen. Grant a great deal, and the latter unfolded all his plans to me. I was present during the running of the batteries at yioksburg. It was one of the grandest sights I ever I saw the cutting of the canals, by which o ver a million of acres were flooded. I was with&en. Grant once two days, on the bayous. .One night, during a heavy storm, we lost our v way, and it was a considerable time before we coufd tell wherewe were, or discover how to set back. Gen. Grant having determined to take Grand Gulf in the front, they- went to. a place called “ Hard Times, 55 a long point? nearly opposite. Ob serving a number of batteries above, some fifty feet high, Oen. Grant concluded to have the 'gunboats go down and silence them. -The firing was kept up lor five hours and a half, and was most terrific. This was the longest naval fight on record. Three of the gunboatß—the commodore’s own, boat, among the number—engaged the upper battery, and the others engaged the lower. The fort wab fired, but it was; found impossible to operate with any effect, as -the-, batteries were , too high, so they finally withdrew. TEese batteries were dug right out of the face of the : cliffs, and they might have fired there until dooms day almost. [The invalid was restrained at this pointfrom fur ther conversation. One.of his attendants finished, simply for the purpose of our information, the his tory of the fight and of Gen. Thomas 5 participation in it/ and then continued“ The .General, after a short stay with Grant, said to him one night: ‘Wow you are about commencing your, attack on Vicks burg, my time in the v&lley.iß most precious, in the way of reorganization andreform. I havedoneyou , all the good I can do you, and to-morrow I-must- bid you farewell. 5 Gen. Grant was positively affected" with grief, and thanked the; Adj utant General over and over for his valuable services, and repeatedly /mentioned the enthusiasm in his army which; his visit had kindled. 55 ] General Thomaß next day resumed: “ From Gen. Grant down, I not only did not meet with any oppo sition, but everyone gave me his hearty-co-opera tion in carrying out the new policy of the Govern ment. /Whenever I asked for regiments they cheer fully and promptly furnished me with their rosters, and I then made out commissions aud took every step for the or ganization of the regiments. Milliken’s Bend, a shipping port in that portion of the country, would certainly have been captured, haditnotbeenfortwo incomplete colored regiments, one of which had not then been mustered into the service of the United States.. The men are said to have fought like devils. - [Gen. Thomas 5 [attendant mentioned aside, here, that in his speech -at Jackson, so bold and extreme was the General in announcing the negro soldier policy of the Government, and his own views of the duty of the American soldier and Btateamaii to the slaves of the rebels and the blacks of the South, that General Oglesby, said to be an..old Democrat of th.e Btjffest politics, came r up to hind and Baid,: “General, you are r the boldest man I ever saw. Had you dared to announce such principles in this place a month, or two months' ago (pardon the disrespect j couched in the words,; but not in my feelings), you + would inevitably have been kicked out of this wagon, and probably treated to a. coat of tar-and •feathers.”) Preliminary steps were taken under : Gen. Oglesby for the organization of a regiment. At Cairo there was a great turnout on my. ar rival; the stores were closed, and the greatest en thusiasm was manifested. I was frequently inter rupted with applause during my remarks. - 1 intended at first only to raise a force of 10,000 colored men, but before I left the Mississippi com pleted arrangements for raising twenty and when Vickskurg falls 1 expect to raise as many regi ments,as may be'wanted. THE ABANDONED PLANTATIONS, What greatly perplexed me was to decide what to do with the negro women and ; children, whom I* could not get into military organizations. Thiadiffi-, culty was Boon BOlved to some extent. Having found a line.of magnificent plantations along the bank; of the river, from Helena to Young’s Point, whieh .were deserted on the approach of our troops, after talking the matter over, I concluded to take posses sion of these abandoned plantations, and lease them to Unionists, who would employ these men and women, and pay them'suitable wages.: It was in respect to thiß whole business that I thought—and so told the Secretary—that I com menced too late by a month. I lost no time in ap pointing a commission, of which Mr. Field was to be the head, to take this matter in charge. -In the instructions given them by me it was specified that, the negroes should be kindly treated ; be paid the wages named; that none under twelve years of age were to be subjected to field labor, but might be used moderately mother ways; that each: tenant was to.agree to retain.the negroes one year. ; Some of the plantations were given to the negroes themselves. (reneral Grant; having, one thousand horses for which he had no immediate use, generous ly offered to loan them, to be paid for out of the pro ducts of the soil. The Government was to be paid two dollars a bale , for the cotton raised, five cents a bushel for corn, arid so on. "Well, the first, man who went , into this was a brother of General Grant. He had just come from California. He came down there aboard of-our boat. - Sayß.he, “I will take one of those plantations.” He was in St. Louis, and had just returned, and was coming down to see Grant, whom he had not seen • for years;; .. • ■ • ’ . He went to work and got a hundred mules.. I was on his plantation before! left. I asked him how he was getting along. “■Why,” says.he, “remarkably well. I have twelve hundred acres of cotton put-in, and a thousand acres are up.” .l am now going to tell,you an extraordinary case. We have leased between sixty and seventy planta tions on that river. ; Two hundred negroes to a plan tation. You see how many persons are employed there beside the children. It was so.late in the season that it was almost too late to get the cotton in. Well, Iprevented the de struction of two plantations, but some oi\our West ern troops did burn several cotton gins,’ and like pro perty. All the ploughs, horaeß, cattle, &c.; which the rebels couldnot conveniently.take on deserting these plantations were gathered up; and properly distri buted. But to.my Btory. • There was a family in Mis sissippi by the name of. Montague. He is a Virginia gentleman, and~ as elegant a gentleman as I ever saw. One of his misfortunes may be that he took an extraordinary fancy to me. He lived in Alabama for a number of years. He went to Louisiana, and had a plantation on one of those bayous, just back, within about fifteen miles of Richmond. When we took possession at Milliken’s Bend, we sent out our troops in that direction. He was taken; prisoner with some Secesh/ The facts of his being connected with; them are these. He had i n politics always been a Henry Clay Whig, and when this war broke out he was as strong a Union man as could be found. He brought his fa mily together, and they pledged themselves that they wouUV not go into the Seceßßion army, and would have nothing to do with the rebels if they could avoid it. He was a man of r intelligence, wielding a great deal of influence among his neigh bors ; and some of them held- out a great while, but • finally they all fell off but he. He was molested a greatdeal by the rebels. When he-; got witVun our lineshe went to Grant and made known his case. One cf his sons was educated at West Point. That son they had put in prison at Vioksburg. But after awhile he succeeded iu: getting-his family to gether. Grant became interested in him, and -gave him permissioh to ship some of, his cotton (which had not been burned) to Memphis. This he sold for $60,000 profit! He became acquainted with Field, of St. Louis. Field revived an acquaintance he had actually had with him when a young man, became interested in him, and talked to me about him. When we got to Memphis -he was there, and Field introduced him to me, He-came with us up to the army, where we soon good friends. / Hear ing me make a speeeh after that) he said he almost felt like making a speeeh himself, and said he would go right into the work which I was pushing along. »I will take a plantation,’ said he; ‘ employ a num ber of negroes, pay them the wages you require, and • get iffy sons to do the same.’ He did so, and he and his sons are, now cultivating five- plantations, and. . they will: make .magnificent fortunes.

The Courrier de Marseilles publishes a letter frqjn Alexandria, giving an account of the events that have taken place in Madagascar, and stating in a more positive manner than before that England was the cause of all. . It says that when M. Lambert, (the Madagascar Duke) obtained the exclusive right of forming a company to work the mines of the island, the EngHshioflfered him.two millions sterling for his . concession j but M. Lambert was too good a patriot to take the money; that a French company was formed “under high patronage to proceed to Madagascar, and induce .civilization of : la bor which aggrandizes as well as ennobles $” and that M. Lambert was on his way out with Com mander Dupre on .board the Hermoine, and an ex ploring commission. Tn'.the meantime, the English, • who hadrefused to join this; new company, declared that they would do all in their power against it.' The violent death of Radpma II proves what they are capable of, and every one attributes it to their intrigues. - So long as they had any doubt of the realization of M. Lambert’s projects they- did nothing; but .when they found that French influence was really in the ascendant a revolution broke out, and their own telegraphic despatches say that the principal cause of it was the concession alluded to. The letter concludes thus : Is it not now time to prove to EDgland-that the patience of the French na tion is exhausted, and that we are determined to demand an occQV.nl of her felonies? It is England who left us in our difficulties in, Mexico, who suggested the Turkish note agairißt_the Isthmus of Suez, and it is her will and her jealousy that guided the hand that has .struck'down the King: of.

But a weak ,and timid prince has been killed, because he would not give to the Eng lish exclusively a right which they would have abused, as they always do whenever they have only the weak to encounter. The Emperor, we have.no doubt, will feel the shudder which i-uns through-all France, in presence of this fresh . insolence of our pre tended allies.

It ia a world’s wonder that this good work (lid not commence long ago; and this excellent outbreak may be the opening scene of the inevitable revolution which is to tearto pieces that most rotten society and leave the Northern half of the old Ame rican Union a deßert of bloocFsoaked ashes. We bid it good speed. .. But all this may have little or no effect on the war, at least, for a long time. Let us not deceive ourselves; for internal, revolution, and even , utter ruin in a nation, by no means weakens it for foreign aggression, of which revolutionary France iB a nota ble example. The newß is cheering to us, indeed, because it portends the breaking down of the whole structure of Yankee society.. Yet the process may be long; and in the meantime the desperate energy of their war for conquest of the Confederacy may grow more furious for a season. No matter; we can at least now see tp the end of it. This one insurrection may be suppressed for the moment, but it will be the parent of other and still worse convulsions. "We liave but to persevere in our determined resistance, gird ourselves to the task of winning our independence more sternly than ever, yet a little whiled and we shall seethe giant, but hollow bulk of the Yankee nation bursting into fragments and lushing down into perdition in flames and blood. 'Amen. POET HUDSON. [From the Montgomery Mail.] - The surrender of the garrison at Port Hudson was not .unexpected, and‘will cause nothing like the same depression in the Confederacy as the fall of Vicksburg, though in point of resistance to the ene my it has borneapartno less creditable for gallantry and endurance. Under the circumstances, the fall of th,e. two. places : was inseparably connected, and it would have been little short of a miracle if Port Hudson had bgen able *to withstand the Biege long after* the fall of Vicksburg. Vicksburg capitulated on the 3d instant, and a despatch oi yesterday informs us that Port Hudson sur rendered on the Bth. Upto the fall of Vicksburg it seemed to be admitted, even by the Yankees, that Gen. Gardner and his gallantlittlegarrison had badly worsted Banks with all the force be could rake .and scrape about New Orleans, which no doubt exceeded ours two to-one. But with the fall of Vicks burg, which gave the enemy the advantage of the Mississippi to transport his troops from that point to Port Hudson, the reduction of the latter place in a very few days followed as-a- matter of course, and no intelligent person acquainted* with the situation could have expected any other result. Port Hudson is situated on the east bank of the Mississippi, in Louisiana, one hundred andfifty-five milesfrom New Orleans, and two hundred and fifty from- Vicksburg by the course of the river, and is distant one hun dred and thirty-eight miles southwest of Jackson by land. It is, therefore, easy to see that no succor from our forces was possible, without almost the certainty of capture by the enemy, who could throw his immense army in a very short time at any point on the river, and thus there was no alternative left, after the factß became known at Port Hudson, but to surrender with as little loss of life'as poßsibie. .

To those who were posted as to the true situation of affairs_ in that vicinity-thULwac^-^^-— z — —rrtmave reason to’believe such a result was anticipated by the authorities at Richmond days before it was an nounced.

From prudential motives of doubtful propriety the dis couraging facts were suppressed; while such as' could be tortured into encouragement were'mag nified. The public • disappointment, therefore, is greater than the true situation ln the future, however, we shall deprecate and endeavor to disappoint, as far as possible, all attempts-to mis lead our. own people. ;We believe, them equal to any emergency, and if their zeal cannot be relied upon', even under adversity, to save the cause, all is lost. THE ENEMY ON JAMES RIVER. From theßichmond Enquirer, July 17.1 The enemy had not deserted the Jamea*river on Tuesday, as was reported here during theday. So far from leaving, Tuesday was the day of their most active operations.. Early in the morning two moni tors; which' had been higher up, dropped l down to Fort Powhatan, where they were joined by seven wooden gunboats—the latter consisting chiefly of small schooners, mounting one gun, and intended for the navigation of creeks, inlets, and bayous. Finding the coast all clear of rebel soldiers-and rebel, guns, the enemy sent some one hundredi and fifty* or two hundred men ashore, and destroyed the rude earthworks which had been thrown up at the fort. They also fired some three or four rudely-con structed buildings which had been built for the accommodation of the garrison which once occu pied the fort. Having covered themselves with glory, the vandals then returned to their boats, and the whole flotilla moved down stream. -After the fleet had retired some of our scouts upon’a Yankee soldier secreted in the bushes near" the fort. •He cheerfully gave himself up ? . and said he had deserted especially for the purpose of be coming a citizen of the great Southern Confederacy. He stated, further, that these movements on the . James were all, intended as a mere diversion j that Dix was marching up the Peninaula and on to Rich mond, at the head of fifty thousand troops.' Know-, ing this statement to be false, and believing that the fellow - was a spy instead of., a deserter, he was speedily sent to headquarters. He will ini all proba bility be honored with a Black-rope performance at Richmond. LATEST. Two iron-clad Yankee gunboats passed City Point yesterday, and proceeded up James river. Seven gunboats and transports remained two miles below the Point. Theohjectdf this reconnoissanceis quite apparent. The vandals are anxiouß to find out what force is supporting the garrisons at'Chaffin’s and Drewry’s BluflS. VVe shall probably hear further of their'movements to-day.

' Jackson, July 16.— I The enemy made a heavy de monstration on our right and centre this afternoon; but Walker’s and Loring’s divisions repulsed them handsomely. -The artillery fire was incessant, and our batteries replied gun for gun. The enemy sought shelter in the woods. Heavy reinforcements for Grant continue to ar rive, and are pressed oh our right for the purpose of crossing Pearl river above and flanking us. The enemy are planting siege guns on-their redoubts. It iB Biipposed that to*morrow the remainder of Jackson will be burned. Jackson, July lA—An entire block in this city was destroyed by the enemy’s shells yesterday. Not 'a gun has been fired by the enemy this morning. Various conjectures are indulged in regard to their silence; but welMnformed persons think they are trying to flank us on our, right, as their cavalry made ain attempt to cross four miles above last night.

We are among those who cherish the confident hope that the enemy will be.miserably unsuccessful in executing the plans he is at. present working so vigorously and resolutely to carry out. We expect him to be punished severelyif he persists in the un dertaking. But we may be disappointed. Our hope may prove a delusion. The result the’ timid and despondent predict may: transpire. . The .capture of our city mar, perchance, delight his base and cor rupt heart, ‘in case that frightful calamity fail upon üb, they who remain here must suffer grievous evils. The woes they will have poured out upon them will be far heavier than those under which the citizens of New Orleans and Nashville and Memphis have groaned, for the vile foe hates the people of this State with a tenfold more bitter hatred than he en tertains for the inhabitants of any other section, and he will cot spare us when he comes as con queror. . On.the supposition of the foe’s success, it is our duty to avoid incurring his fiendish malignity. All who can be of no .service in the work of .defence should betake themselves to places of shelter. And it were well not to defer removal to a late day. We may be compelled to remain, or, if we make good our escape, circumstances may oblige us to leave all our personal effects behind. “FIGHT UNTIL UIUVENFROM STKEET TO STREET.” Wc should also consider that our city iB going to make a fierce and determined resistance. .If the enemy gets it he will have to take it. No flag*of truce boat will meet him midway between the wharves and Fort Sumpter, in order to effect a sur render. We are going to fight until we are driven from street to street, and continue to fight while we are retreating.' ' So determined a resistance involves immense in jury to our fair city at the hands of. the enemy. It will >he little better than a heap or ruins, even though the work of destruction is not insured by military order. THREE CENTS . PREPARj? POE THE' WORST, We repeat that we aSs of opinion that the present attach will result as the other attacks have done, and even more disastrously to the mean and wicked foe.

If we Are forced to defend our city after the manner we have resolved to defend st, the wo men and chil dren, and aged men who tarry too long, would'aufffer miseries infinitely greater than they will have to bear during their temporary exile. It behooves us to give this subject Berious and‘pro-- found consideration.' If the enemy is forced* to abandon the effort he is making to' gain possession - of our city, we can return to our homes in a short' time., If he is successful—which God forbid !—-we * will have avoided privations and woesof which we" can now form no adequate conceptions Let us take' counsel of prudence. CFrom the Augusta Sentinel-3 . GENERAL GILLMORE. The Yankees have a great opinion of General Gil more, who is now in command of the forces that are engaged against Charleston. He.iß considered a very dangerous man where forts or other works are to be reduced by artillery. He is a native of Ohio, and, in 1841, graduated at West Point at the head of hiß class. For a year or two after his graduation he was a professor at that institution. Subsequently he was assigned to the duty of experimenting upon the power of projectiles upon earth, wood, and earthworks, and spent seve ral years in this duty, acquiring in that time more experience and knowledge on this subject than any man in this country. The more perfectly to record the results of his experiments he took photographs of the effect of every shot fired. At Fort Pulaski he, for the first time, brought his skill to the test of actual experience. Pulaski was considered next to Sumpter in impregnability. Gillmore, getting his guns to within six hundred yards, knocked it to pieces as he might have done a house of cards. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. THE MOSEY MARKET. PHii.ADEi.raiA, July 21, tBG3. Gold opened this morning very strong at 127, and rose to 129 before ten o’clock, owiag to a heavy de mand, to cover the contracts of the “ shorts,” who comprised almost everybody on the-street. Soon as the first rush was .over the market gave way, and fell to 12G>£, when another rurtv occurred, which sent the price to 123. Again it fell' off, and gradually declined to the close, when it stood at 1250 r exactly the same as it was at the close of yesterday.. A large number of persons are buying who think gold has touched bottomland that'any change must be for a higher figure. We have only to hold up Charleston, Mobile, the victorious advance of Eosecrans and Grant, and the flying armies of Bragg and Lee, to convince any reasonable-man that there is but little likelihood of gold advancing for the present. Others argue that gold will s advance as soon as fall importations commence, which, if they are heavy, may influence the price somewhat, but not sufficiently to warrant an idle investment for a couple of-months. But the fall imports do not promise to be so heavy, as there is much of last year’s still on the market, which were purchased when gold : was 170 and exchange about ISO, and the experiment ■ has proved a losing one, and one which - will keep some of the houses entirely out of the market, and compel them to operate very cautiously. In the meantime, if substantial victories take place, the price will be so reduced that any advance caused by the wants of the importing fraternity will not cover the decline resulting from good news, to say nothing of an effort which Government ought to, and may make, to resume’specie payments, in which case the banks and other institutions will’ follow in-the wake; - Government securities still preserve their popu larity ; 1881 Bixes are firm at. 105%@106; seven-thir ties at'lo6%@lo7. New certificates sell freely at 99. The conversions into the five-twenty loan are pro ceeding vigorously, yesterday nearly a million, and on Saturday over a million being'subscribed.; .'.We again call attention to the fact that* the privilege of subscribing at par ceases on the first of August next. It would be a good policy to keep a United States loan always before the people, and the five-twenties offer advantages which must always render it their favorite. Such, however, may not be the case, as Government may? be offered such terms for certain loans by a combina tion of leading capitalists as will place her entirely beyond the necessity of asking for money. So it is better to take the present opportunity. The Go vernment is doing her duty to us in the way of vic tories ; let us appreciate her efforts, and do our duty ‘financially. Money is very plenty, and first-class borrowers find no difficulty in getting all they want at 5@6 per cent.- Business outside of gold and Government se" curities is dull. The stock-market was more active with prices generally steadyr State and City loans were in de mand, fives of the former selling up to 100% ; new .City sixes at 107%@108; the old at 103. Camden and Amboy sixes, 1875, sold at 104; Reading bonds and Pennsylvania Railroad mortgages were steady; North Pennsylvania sixes fell off 1%; 106 waß bid for Lehigh Valley sixes; ' Schuylkill Navigation sixes, 1876, sold at 67; 1882 s were freely taken at 82, a decline of .' — _ -opened'at 54%, closing at 53%; Catawisßa sold at 7%; the preferred at 22%; Phila delphia and Erie sold at 24; Pennsylvania at 64; Pennsylvania at 15%, a decline of %; - Camden and Amboy at 165; 35 was bid for Elmira'; 4" for Little Schuylkin Beaver Meadow; 62 forMinehill; Spruce'and Pine sold' rreoiy at 14% ; Passengers generally were dull. ~ 1 ’ Delaware Division Canal sold at 43; Wyoming at .22%; Morris at 71%; Schuylkill Navigation pr&* ferred 24%; Farmers’and Mechanics’sold at 55%; 26 bid for Mechanics.- The market closed dull and heavy. .
