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.

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.

Gossip About Morgan’s Raul.
[EroiQ the Payton (0. ) Journal.} .
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 negro
' regiments which have been organized are affonUng,
them protection.” v

Tile Revolution in Madagascar—Condition
of tile Anglo-French Alliance.
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. Madagascar. Poor
victim of the pitiless cupidity of. the Govern
ment of St. James! The indirect menaces
are now carried out; but France in her turn
.will know how to avenge the ; insult offered to her.'
France has not been attacked directly. No one has
dared to do so. 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. The last passage of their despatch says
more than perhaps' they desired. Let us hope that a
gfcat reparation will-follow the sad event which we have
just mentioned.: ' "

THE BEGINNING OF CHAOS.
[From the Bicbraond Enquirer. July IS. ]
By the President.
. Biot, [murder, and conflagration have begunin
New x oik. 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. .

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.
FROM JACKSON, MISS,
Jackson, Julylo.—AßOtherday has passed with
out any new development. Tke<enem.yi has been firing
incessantly) and has been shelling ihe-city all the evening .
Another division of Burnside’s' command reached
Grant this evening. ..
: Jackson, July 16.—The enemy kept up a heavy
shelling all night. One Bhell passed. through Gen.
Johnston’s quarters, without injuring any one.
Grant was reinforced yesterday evening by one.di
vißion of Gen, Burnside’s command,
• We buried one hundred and fifty-three of the ene
my yesterday.- . .
The Vicksburg prisoners-have arrived at Brandon.
There is still no prospect of a. general engagement,
but heavy, infantry and artillery skirmishing con
tinues. '
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. Captain Ferguson, of the South Carolina
Battery, was mortally wounded yesterday by one of
the enemy’s sharpshooters.
REPORTED DEATH OF GEN; OSTERHAUS.
[From the Montgomery Advertiser, July 15.]
Jackson, July U.—No change.has taken place in
the condition of affairs since yesterday. ,
General Pemberton and Btaff : arrived here last
ni"ht. An officer who came with them says that he
met Gen. Oaterhaus’ body going to Vicksourg. He
was killed by a cannon ball on the 12th.
Heavy skirmishing still continues. _
• Several houses were demolished yesterday by the
enemy’s.shell
CHAEEESTON MAY BE CAPPUEED. '
[From the Charleston Courier, July'lu.l .
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. JS.ut is it not propei' for the'worst? 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
