THE SITUATION.
The situation is unchanged in the main,
and remains full of promise of future victo
ries for the Federal arms, and the speedy
destruction of the rebellion. Every day
gives additional proof of the importance of
our successes in the Southwest The rebel
journals confess that in the loss of Vicks
burg, Port Hudson, and the Mississippi, the
enemy lost half his power, and all his pres
tige. Reduced to a purely defensive attitude,
the rebellion is now striving to hold posi
tions from 'which it must inevitably be
driven. The demoralization of the rebel
armies in the Southwest is as great as any
loyal man could wish, greater than we had
reason to expect. Desertions arc large and
incessant. It is probable that Pembekton
will not keep ten thousand ot his paroled
men; the rest are continually escaping his
control and seeking their homes. John
ston has been entirely routed; nor is it
probable that Beagg, whose movements
are mysterious, will be able to prevent the
aimioi af BB®fig&XKB and fltu"?
wfTvWng where their gallant leaders choose,
Mobile will fall undoubtedly, and we may
consider the entire power of the rebellion
in the Southwest as permanently over-
thrown.
The situation of the opposing armies in
Virginia affords more room, for speculation.
.Lee, still at Winchester, has probably re
ceived reinforcements, though not sufficient
to enable him to assume the offensive. Re
inforcements he undoubtedly needed, for
there, is good reason to believe that every re
giment the South can bring into Virginia
Will soon have plenty Qf occupation. The
recent cavalry skirmishes indicate the ac
tivity of General Meade, and are preludes
to more important contests. A great bat
tie between the .two armies is certainly
within the probabilities of the present situa
tion in Virginia. A vague report that Lee
had again crossed the Potomac into Mary-
so palpably absurd that it scarcely de
served the amide contradiction ithas received.
General Lee would be far more anxious to
retreat than to advance, but is not likely to
have General Meade’s permission to do'
cither. It is a decisive battle that we need
—a victory which will be to the East all
that Vicksburg was to the West —a victory
wliic-h .will have Richmond for its reward,
and peace for its final result. ■
The Union Candidate for Governor.
The election of George W. Woodward
as Governor of Pennsylvania would be the
greatest calamity that could befall our people.
Of all the devotees of slavery, and of alb the
sympathizers with Secession, Judge Wood- ,
ward is, probably, the most consistent and .
sincere. If there is such a thing as an
honest enemy of the'war for preserva
tion of this Government, in this section,
we firmly believe the character is to be
jii s T \ls!gS Tf SQEITAHDi That W 6
Go not ojeirato ma chuihbj af tto steGsa si
tehch a man as Oluef Magistrate of Pennsyl
vania, - maj - be proved by the manifold .
mischief and disgrace that-have befallen
New York, under' the auspices of her Go
vernor, Horatio Seymour, and his parti
sans. Chosen by a very small preponde
rance of the popular vote, the immense
majority in his favor in the city of Hew ,
"Pork made him, in a great degree, timid
before the base, murderous, , and low
browed mob, which, during four frightful
daj's, held- that magnificent metropolis.
in its clutch and defied the laws. If
Governor Seymour had not been elected
Governor by the votes of just such influ
ences, he would never have so far departed
from his natural dignity as to promise to
respect the " rights” of bloody-handed mur
derers and notorious thieves. He would
have ordered their dispersion at the point
of the bayonet, or by a storm of- grape and
canister. How George W. Woodward
is a much more decided sympathizer with
the rebel influences, whether those of the
South or the North, than Horatio Sey
mour. He is a bolder one, too. Cola,
calculating, and callous, lie seems to have
neither hope nor heart In his country’s
cause ; and, if he has any fire or enthu
siasm in liis nature, these are undoubt
edly given to the enemies of that country.
Shall such a man be elected Governor of
Pennsylvania :in October next? With a
cabinet composed of men like Wm: B. Heed
and -Francis W- Hughes, both no less em
bittered and honest in their hatred of
the - Government, and no less warm in
their devotion to the oppressed and
injured South, than then - candidate for
Governor, Pennsylvania would proba
bly become, what, they both desired she
might become, a dependency, or at least.a
part of the seceded South. Under such an
administration of the Government in this
State, what security would our people have ?
Observe, we do not charge that Judge Wood
ward or his party would ever desire to carry
our great State out of the Union; but their
indifference to the cause of their country,
and their intense and open opposition to the
regularly elected of the Govern
ment, is the bestproof that they would
not hesitate, to gratify their prejudice
and passion, to give the advantage to
the enemy. In other words, their antago
nism to Mr. Lihcolu is so far stronger
than their antagonism to. Jefferson Davis,
that, rather than help the first, they would
see the latter prevail. If “the soft and
pliant Damocles," Seymour, of New York,
could not retain the semblance of loyalty, as
against the New York mob, how long would
Woodward, Beed, and Hughes, all of
whom believe in disloyalty, care to restrain
their hatred of .their'own section when they
ascended to power ? -
The disaster of George W. Woodward’s
election as Governor of Pennsylvania, how
ever, can he averted if the great Union Con
vention, which is to meet at Pittsburg bn
the sth of August, is willing to act up to a
duty that all loyal men appreciate and de
bate. We are not writing in the interest of
any man, or of any party; though we fear
the words -we write may be misunderstood
by those who cling to men and who remem
ber parties. ,We plead alone for our
country. We claim that every indi
vidual aspiration should he yielded be
fore the common, universal peril. We
must not have victory followed by a dis
graceful peace through the intrigues of
craven councils ; and, above all, in any
such convocation Pennsylvania miist.not be
represented by the idea, or the Governor,
that she is ready to submit to such a peace.
If it is necessary to postpone Governor
Curtbs ("whose popularity and patriotism
we freely endorse; and whose denomination
is loudly demanded in many quarters,; that
should be done; and we are sure he will
consent to the sacrifice. We must have
a candidate we can elect. The cause
and the issues are too sacred to be
endangered or lost even by the unjust
clamors of friends or foes. We need not
borrow encouragement from Conventions of
our own friends in other States, for the ne
cessity for hold action should itself instruct
us; hut it would not he amiss if we could
take, a leaf from the recent political history
of Ohio and of Missouri, both of which
States have nominated loyal Democrats as
their candidates for Governor.
The Struggle in this State, for Governor,
•will be violent, vindictive, and unscrupu
lous, on the part of the enemies of the
Government. The friends of the Go
vernment have many advantages, which
they should use, and many disadvan
tages, which they should evade. What
ever name is presented by the Pittsburg
Convention for Governor, we shall support
in these columns; for we regard the election
to that high post, of such a man as Geobge
W. Woodward, an j'mmeasurable calamity,
to prevent which, any loyal man should be
sustained by all the loyal voters of tye Stale.
But a wise and sagacious spirit should ani
mate the Pittsburg Convention, of the - sth of
-1 ' . -”’1 we vhat if fliig spirit
controls that body, victory for the Union
will he assured at the ballot-box, as well as
it has been secured on the battle-field.
A. Chapter of Gossip.
An amusing instance of aristocratica! ex
clusivenessis reported from London, which,
better than an octavo'volume of argument,
shows how intensely haughty Royalty, even
in its mildest form, naturally is. What. is
“bred in the bone,” as the old adage says,
“ cannpt be got out through the skin.”
Royalty believes itself to be the very salt of
the earth, and rarely abandons its preten
sions to be treated as such.
. The most aristocratic portion of the Bri
tish. army is the high and mighty portion of
it called “ The G.uards. ” Its rank and file
are picked men ; 'its officers are usually men
of high birth and large fortune ; for even the
lowest officer among them is expected to
have at least two chargers, and finds horse
flesh rather expensive, when the price of a
crack steed, fully,up. to the standard, runs
from one to two thousand dollars. The
Guards really are “the household troops”
of the sovereign, nearly thirteen tspusand
in number, who chiefly do duty in London
and Windsor, the official home of Royalty.
It was long believed that the officers were
merflcaiDDUMaMfl \ awl owm Sin wiahibh
Scott, at tiielr Aantjj- oliicei-3, de
nounced —
“ That puny fop, trimm’d cap-a-pie,
Who loves in the saloon to show
The arms that-never knew a foe;
Whose sabre trails along the ground,
Whose legs in shapeless boots are drown’d;
A new Achilles, sure—the steel:
Fled from his breast to fence his heel;
Who lacks the simple, manly grace
That wont to deck our martial race,
Who comes in foreign trashery
Of tinkling chain and Bpur,
. . A walking haberdashery
Of feathers, lace, and fur :
In Kowley’s antiquated phrase,
Horse-milliner of modern days.”
At Waterloo, however, the Guards greatly
distinguished themselves, and in the Crimea
their valor, if not so fortunate, was equally
notorious.
The officers of the Guards, be it known,
lately determined to pay a handsome com
pliment to the Prince and Princess of
Wales, and, having hired and splendidly
fitted up the Great Exhibition barn in South
Kensington, ("commonly known as Fowkes’
Folly, which the Parliament would pur
chase J asked this young couple to a grand
Ball. The invitation was accepted, ("so
runs the story,_) and about $lOO,OOO had
been subscribed by the officers, when it
pleased Queen Victoria to take offence,
because her son and her daughter-in-law
had presumed to take such a step towards
enjoying themselves, without first consult
ing Iter. The Prince of Wales was hotly
and hastily telegraphed to attend the Queen
at Osborne, and after receiving a pretty
severe scolding—for even Royalty can lose its
temper and use hard words—was promptly
informed that the acceptance of the invitation
must forthwith be withdrawn. The on dit
further is, that the Prince, who managed to
keep his temper, frankly assured his mamma
that this was simply an impossibility,—that
he and his wife had promised to attend the
grand festival expressly got up to compli
ment them,—that lie could not, and would
not break a promise that he had made, —
and that it would ill requite the loyalty, af
fcctiou. Hurt liliflmlity of tlioii> military liqMa
vllio represented inaxiy of tile lligiiest fßrp,j
-lies in the empire, contemptuously to turn
round and virtually say, “You are not
good enough for ns to accept hospi
tality from.” The result^was, the Prince
and Princess were reluctantly allowed
to keep their engagement, but the Queen
satirically added, “ You are making your
selves as cheap as the C ambjudges, ” —the
fact being that her cousins, the Duke of
Cambridge and bonny Princess Mary, are
very fond of society, and would as'soon
dine or dance with, a commoner as with a
lord. It seems that, this, has given offence
to the Head of the State. It is further added
that the Queen coupled heneluctant acquies
cence to the Prince’s ball-practice with the
reservation that no person should attend
the festival who had not been presented at
Court.
“The Cambridges,” who make them
selves “so common” are the Queen’s first
cousins, and were • among. the guests. So
were other notabilities—such as the French
Princes and their wives ("including the Due
de CnARTRES, late of the Army of the Po
tomac, and his bridej, the Princes of Lei
nengen, Saxe-Weimer, Wnrtemberg, and
Orange, and the leading aristocracy of
England. The Prince of Wales danced
in every set, from nine o’clock until three;
the Princess, less frequently, from family
reasons, it is believed. The festival was one
of the most successful as well as. most splen
did ever - given in London, and we dare say
that the Waleses enjoyed it as much as the
“ CAMiiRiDOEs,” who make themselves “ so
common.”
An amusing contra Imps or two relieved
the occasion. The present Lord Mayor, a
Mr. Bose, committed the grievous offence
of inviting very few Guardsmen to the
great ball given by the City, in their Guild
hall, to the Prince and Prinpess of Wales.
When the invitation-committee of the
Guards’ ball were performing their duties,
the point was mooted whether the Lord
Mayor should not be passed over. How
ever, this would insult the City of London,
so a card for two was sent to the Lord and
Lady Mayoress., The sister of the latter,
longing to attend the ball, a request was
made for a card for her —which was what
the inviters wanted. A cold refusal was
the reply, and the young lady, a civic
Cinderella, was left at'home in solitude,
while her sister and brother-in-law went to
the ball in great glory.
A yet more serious affair led to much dis
cussion. Among the guests was Mr. Poole,
of Saville Row (lie occupies the house
in which Richard Brinsley Sheridan
lived and diedj, is a man of fine appearance,
elegant manners, and large wealth. Tie holds
the appointment of “ Tailor to H. R. H. the
Prince of Wales,” and about one half the
young aristocracy are in his books. It
happened that he was-invited, on a hint
from the' Prince j who is very friendly ,'with
him. It was objected, after the ball, that
he did not come, within the line drawn by
Queen Victoria that every guest must have
.been presented at Court. The Prince cut
the Gordian knot in the easiest manner.
“My friend, Mr. Poole,” he said,-“ was
specially invited to be present , at my mar
riage, at Windsor, and if that is not equiva
lent to having been at a Levee, I should be
glad tq know what is.”
The difference of custom, here and in
England, Is illustrated by the circumstances
about which we have here been gossipping.
With us, when a young man nearly twenty
two years old becomes “Benedick the mar
ried man,” and has a house and household
of his own, he is considered as being no
longer tied to his mother’s apron-strings,
and as having the right to exercise a reason
able will of liis own. It is different in one
family in England, at all events.; The
Prince of Wales, it seems, is still in leading
strings, and must do exactly what his mother
bids him. Without her-leave he cannot
accept an invitation to a dance, under
penalty ot -being sneered at as making him
self and wife “as common as the Caw
bridges.” To every general rule there is
an exception. When the ■ Prince of Wales
was married. Queen Victoria 1 graciously
permitted him and his wife to accepf
compliments, in the, tangible form of
jewels, plate, &c., from all who were
disposed .to present them, and the
value of such gifts was estimated at
§500,000. Vet, if the generousXand some
times ostentatious J donors presumed to
invite the Prince and Princess to dinner or
dance, the invitation must be declined
under penalty of Royalty making itself too
common. For our own part, we share in
the belief that the great previous mistake of
British Royalty always has been that it too
much “kept itself, to itself,” as the saying
is, and that the people will not think a
Prince makes himself too “ common” by
freely sharing in their amusements and
mixing freely among- them', outside qf the
cold etiquette of a Court.
Testing the Conscription.
It is said that somebody in New York,
Hint - li- IMI,!I. Lome o? order- and l-H vViiOf Ij
'vw, proposes to act upon Mi. Jakhs T.
Brady’s patriotic hint, of. the desirability of
testing the constitutionality ot the Con
scription ;law—there are some sesquipede
lian words in the above, but they are Mr.
Brady’s, not ours. No court of law, at a
time like this, ought to permit such a ques
tion>to be raised. eNo loyal and law-main
taining judge can sanction it. The country
is passing through a terrible ordeal, from
which it will emerge with honor and stabi
lity. As gold is purified in the furnace, so
is our beloved country to be exalted by the
trials it has gone through—trials by which
the patriotism jof its sons and the vastness
of its resources have been eminently .proven.
.A great final effort is required to pull down
the already trembling edifice of Treason,
and the man who would raise a doubt of the
legality of obtaining the means for such a
purposej is as much a traitor and a rebel as
if he stood before the world: with arms in
his hands to strike at loyalty and law-.
It has been the habit, even among law
yers, to maintain that while most European
armies are recruited by compulsory levy, the
armj r of England is alone an exception, and,
that we ought not sanction in this country
what the fnglish would not submit to. It
happens that the conscription elves exist in
Big Bullish sußUk fligush it kgs a-al
u<L,i JYoiii tlx. IxUlxli W9UA by
the name of Impressment. The regular
regiments, as well as the militia, are re
cruited by voluntary enlistment, but if the
militia is called, out, which.usually happens
when the soldiers of the line are engaged in
foreign war, the ballot, for conscription j
legalized by an act of Parliament, is resorted
to whenever volunteers do not fill up the
ranks.
At- a crisis like the present, when our very
existence as a nation is the issue, the Re
public must have its army strong enough to
show Rebellion the folly of continuing re
sistance. Mr. Jefferson Davis, in the
agony of despair, has called for a levy, en
masse, all over the revolted States. _ He
summons every man, from the age of 18 to
that of 45, and those who refuse or neglect to
fall into his ranks are to he shot as deserters,
with the least possible delay. Contrast this
with what is now doing here—with the mo
derate per ceutage of the able-bodied popu
lation which our conscription calls for. It
is made because it is vitally necessary, as
a certain means of ending the war, yet quib
bling lawyers, groping over it as if it were
a Quarter Sessions bill of indictment, are

conscription, unlil they test its constitution

In Prussia, the editor of one of the leading papers
of Berlin has been sentenced to four weeks’ im
prisonment and hard labor on the fortifications for
republishing an article of the London Times.
What punishment would he have received
had he quoted from the New York World?
Probably imprisonment for life ; and if, in
stead of hard labor on the fortifications, lie
would not be condemned to read the World
every day, it would simply be because that
would make the term of his incarceration
entirely too short. -

“In my humble opinion, this feat of Grant’s in
going to.Tackson, so far from Vicksburg, and cutting
off reinforcements for that garrison, preventing the
accumulation of an army within striking distance
of the place—then suddenly attacking Vicksburg—
to take it either by assault or siege, before a force
could be brought to turn for a rescue, be it a success
or defeat, is the most brilliant campaign the enemy
have yet planned during the war.
" The fate of the whole North depends upon the
fall of that place. Every exertion will be used to
that effect. If defeated, the war will end. If success
ful, not until the end of the present Administration. Yal

advance, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel John
K. liohison, a reliable and excellent officer. The
advance guard was composed of the squadrons of
Captains Fisher and Swan, under Major W. H. Fry.
After proceeding a couple of miles, we captured a
mounted vedette of the enemy, and, from that time
until we reached Shephcrdstown, kept up a con
tinual skirmish with them, capturing seventeen,
with their horses and equipments, with a loss to us
of one killed and two wounded. At Shepherdstown,
Major Fry, with his command, charged through the
streets, driving out over fifty of the enemy’s cavalry
and scattering them in all directions, capturing
eight prisoners, of whom one was a major (Morgan,
of the Oth Virginia Cavalry,) and two lieutenantß,
two ambulances, and finding there over one hundred
of the enemy’s sick. The 16th continued the advaiioe
through the town on theMartinsburg road to within
six miles of that place, being engaged with and
driving the enemy’s skirmishers all the way. At
thiß point we were so near the enemy’s lines that we
cotild hear distinctly their bands playing on our
right and left. We obtained valuable information
of their movements and location from parties who
had left Martinsburg that day. The objectof the
reconnoissance having been accomplished, we re
turned.to within a mile of Shepherdstown, where
we remained on picket. A little before dark our
vedettes were driven in, but we speedily charged and
repulsed the attack. The other regimentß of the
brigade had camped near Shepherdstown, with the
roads around well picketed.
The next day, the 16th inßtant, as the Ist Maine
Jiegiment was going out on the Winchester road
for forage, they met our pickets (from the 10th New

expended all itb ammunition. As we moved along
the road they got our range very fairly, sending their
shells in very disagreeable proximity to us. The
tall figure of Colonel Gregg, as he and his aid, Lieu
tenant Martin, and his 'escort rode along with ua,
attracted their attention,'and wherever he moved
thereafter, veryleisurely over the field, their shell
followed him, the fragments scattering all around;
but he appeared to bear a charmed life, and escaped
unhurt. Three squadrons of the iefch were dis
mounted and Bent forward• Fisher’s and McDow
ell’B, under Major Fry, on the right, each officer dis
mounted, with carbine in hand; the third, under
Captains Swan and Day, on the left; the fourth and
last, under Captain Alexander, in reserve.
The country in which we were fighting is illy
fitted for cavalry movements—the ground very
rocky and broken, cut up into email fields, with high
Btone and rail fence, and - frequent small patches of
timber. This will, account for the strange event of
a fight between cavalrymen, where all the fighting
wee on foot, aided by artillery. Our artillery con
sisted of four pieces. Soon after the 16th was thrown
forward ; two of these were sent to secure an im
portant position on our left, and were not brought
into play dururg the fight; so we fought with two
pieces of artillery, and these not as effective as they
should have been, on account of bad ammunition ;
two of the shells, which should have gone over our
heads into the enemy’s line, striking the ground be
tween our reserve and the dismounted men. The
rebels had eight guns in position firing at one time,
and far better Berved than usual for them, in the ca
valry fights that I have noticed, whether Kelly’B
Ford, Aldie, Middleburg, or Upperville. At times
their firing was terrific to be concentrated on
so small a line as ours; their shot, shell, grape and
canister coming all around and among us, lopping
the branches from the trees, and splintering huge
fragments from the rocks they came in contact with.
Nothing but the uneven character of the ground
preserved our little brigade from annihilation. .
The 16th took up the fighting for the Maine,
which retired; but seeing us pushed at one time
they came out gallantly, without being asked, and
we made “Johnny” travel. As our men’s passions
became excited-in the contest, having repulsed an
attack on the right, they forgot the order of Colonel
Gregg “ to hold the line, but not to advance/’
them to their where tbcyj bfiYinfs a fair
sweep, open all their pieces on us at once, with
grape and canister. We were driven back. They
charged üB-with exulting shouts, while their artil
lery hurled shell without cessation. We were
driven back a quarter of a mile from our old
line—all we were driven that day. In this charge
the noble Captain Fisher was mortally wounded,
one ball passing through his thigh, another through
his breast. Colonel Gregg looked anxious and ap
peared irritated that his order was not* obeyed. On -
the left Captain Swan had advanced in imitation of.
the right, and had fared the same fate, having his
horse shot from under him and losing-some of his
best men. A new line is\soon formed, strengthened
by Alexander’s of squadrons of.
the Ist Pennsylvania- Regiment, frqm Mclntosh’s
brigade, having come up to support üb. The fight '
goes on as wickedly as ever. The rebel battle-flag
is shot down three timeß in aj few minutes, and the
last color-bearer compelled to crouch behind a wall
and hold up the flag from his lurking place. As
night came on the enemy made several desperate
attempts, all of which were steadily .repulsed; after
the last, our men, mounting the stone wall behind
which the lAst line was formed, cheering and waving
their hats, and challenging their opponents to dome
on, although their ammunition was exhausted,
f Night put an end to the contest. At about nine
o’clock the Ist Maine and Ist and 4th Pennsylvania
were ordered to fall back, leaving the 16th to hold
the battle-field. At about midnight Asst. Adj. Gen."
Maitland came and announced to Lieut. Col. Robison
that our wounded and all the other regiments had
left, and that we were to bring up the rear, but to
remain until two o’clock. At that hour we noise
lessly marched .through-the fields for a couple of
miles, until we struck the road to Harper’s Ferry,
when we Boon rejoined the brigade, and by five
♦A. M. formed squadron on Bolivar Heights.
Thus ended one of the most desperate cavalry
fights of the war, considering the number actually
engaged; our* brigade not numbering over eight
hundred men, having become reduced .by detach
ments sent to different, points’, and men left in the
rear dismounted, their animals having become used
up by the hard work of the past two months. At
different times our fire ceased entirely, from want of
ammunition/ remarkable circumstance is, that,
to our knowledge, not one prisoner was taken on
either side, except those of ours so badly wounded
that they could not move and were left behind when
we were driven back. Gen. Gregg accompanied us
to Shephcrdstown, and Mclntosh’s brigade was post
ed on our left, towards Harper’s Ferry, but with the
exception of that portion of the Ist Pennsylvania
referred to, did not participate. Captain Fisher, to
whom I have referred, is well known to Philadel
phia merchants as an.old merchant of Uniontown,
Pennsylvania. A gallant soldier, a gentleman; and
a pleasant companion, his’loss will be deeply re
gretted.
Annexed is a list, from official sources, of the casual
ties on our side. I do not know what the lobs of the
enemy has been, so x do not pretend to estimate it;
in fact, I do not know with any degree of certainty
who we fought, though the supposition is that a
portion of the force was Jenkins’ brigade, with some
of Stuart’s cavalry.. The 13th and 14th Pennsyl
vania and Scott’s Nine Hundred are now added to
Colonel Gregg’s brigade. : R, H, S,

THE WAR IN NORTH CAROLINA.
Tlie Federal Raid on Tar Riv^rj
,nuy sh—Ttio retEotnirg
Express or ysstvfttoy sontßina ttic following i
“From paßßengers who arrived here yeßterday
morning, on the train from Weldon, we gather a
few particulars of the raid on Rocky Mount, N. C.,
which was briefly referred to in yesterday’s Express.
“The gang numbered between four and six hun
dred, and came up from Washington, N. C. This is
the route supposed to have been taken for Rocky
Mount, though about the same distance from Ply
mouth as Washington. The roads from the latter
point are much the best.. Either road would bring
them to Tarborough, a flourishing little, town in
Edgecombe county, about eighteen miles from Rocky
Mount, and where, until recently, the Government
has had immense supplies of bacon, corn, &c. The
raiders reached Rocky Mount about twelve o’clock,
meeting with no resistance. The small squad or
fifteen or twenty men guarding the bridges over Tar
liver, near Rooky Mount, of course did not risk an
engagement at such odds, but, we presume, retired
in good order.
“ They immediately proceeded to destroy the water
tank and commit other acts of vandalism in the
vicinity. They also burned about 5,000 bales of cot
ton, belonging chiefly, to private individuals, which
had been accumulated at Rocky Mount. A squad
repaired to the large cotton factory, owned by Wm.
S. Battle, where they applied the torch, and that
spacious building, together with all its valuable
machinery, was speedily reduced to ashes. This is
really a serious loss to all that portion of the State
as well as the south side of Virginia. A very large
quantity of cotton yarns made at this factory were
purchased by the people of Eastern Carolina and
south side of Virginia, who, since the war, have
been largely engaged in manufacturing clothing for
home consumption.
“The'regular mail train for "Wilmington passed:
jllßt IMm BfifiUteJ! b-.fsr-.* ihz -zlvzl a* JU
apfi Ulus 4 narrow escape from capture. . The
train OH tllfi branch of Hie Wilrnlng-fcon
road was not so fortunate. It was captured by the
raiders, and two car loadß of ammunition and over
thirty thousand pounds of bacon were destroyed.
They also attempted to destroy the cars and locomo
tives. We understand they only partially succeeded
in this latter part of their undertaking.
“ The train from Weldon, which reached here yes
terday afternoon, brought no intelligence later than
the above. Travel and telegraphic communication
between Weldon and Wilmington are now inter
rupted, and we can find no one who is able to inform
us when it will be resumed.
. ** A military force sufficientto prevent a repetition
of the destruction effected on Monday is now at
hand on the road, but, unfortunately, they are just
in time to be too late. The damage has been done.
“ LATER.
•** We learn by a telegram from Weldon that the
bridge destroyed by the raiders spanned the Tar
river but a short distance from Rocky Mount. It
was a moßt substantial structure, some three hun
dred yards in length. The track for the distance of
a mile or two was torn up, and other damage ef
fected, which it will require a week or more to re
pair. Travel, it is thought, will be suspended for
six or eight days.
“ It is thought that the raiders have only fallen
back to Tarborough, which is distant from Rocky
Mount about eighteen miles. If they are allowed
to remain at Tarborough, it will be time thrown
away to repair the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road, for the Yankee cavalry will be enabled to
reach'it in two hours’time whenever they feel so
disposed, and so destroy the track that it will be
useless. We hope, however, that General Robert
Ramson, who is now moving in that direction, will
quickly clear the invaders out from Tarborough.”
[Correspondence of the Associated Press. 3
Newbbbk, N. C.j July 20.— The latest intelligence
from the cavalry expedition which left here on the
18th inst., under General Potter, states that the ex
tensive railroad bridge at Rocky Mount, on the Wil
mington and Weldon railroad, has been destroyed,
together with several miles of railroad.
The resistance to the draft, in New York and
elsewhere, by the Copperheads, has aroused the in
dignation of the veteran troops of this department
to an extent which has no bounds, and, were it pos
sible for them to be at the scene of sh&tne and
anarchy, they would slaughter indiscriminately all
engaged in this attempt to overthrow the Govern

ltosccrans at Nashville.
A letter to the N. Y. Times , dated from Nashville,
July 18, has the following:
During this brief preparatory interval, General
Rosecrans with his staff haß found time to look in
upon Nashville. He arrived here suddenly on
Wednesday, arid has been the busiest of men ever
since; at one time inspecting the fortifications
and defences of Nashville; at another, holding a
review of all the troops stationed in and around
the city; now dashing down to and across
the Cumberland, to view and examine a flotil
la of gunboats lying in the streaiqj above the city,
and receiving their'thundering salutes; and anon,
With some of his staff, popping unannounced
into a Government office or hospital, acquainting
himself by personal inspection, with the manner
the business of his department is transacted, and
his disabled braves cared for. I suppose few, if any
hospitals 'in Nashville, escaped his scrutiny. He
visited hospitals No, 1. and No. 2, among others,
yesterday. The latter occupies the Naßhville Uni
versity, the number of rooms in the two buildings
being aboutmnety. The general visited every room,
conversing kindly and familiarly with the sick and
convalescing soldiers, and expressing the tenderest
interest in their welfare. It was easy to see the se
cret of the strong hold he has upon the hearts of Mb
brave men. He is in truth the idol of his army,
who call him affectionately “ Old Rosey,” and who,
when proclaiming his praises by declaring that he
has never been beaten, proclaim equally their own.
His appearance is really interesting. Of medium
height—“ robust but not herculean”—his stalwart
frame exhibits the most determined manifestation of
sinewy energy and endurance.
His eye, of a grayißh coior, is not large, but keen,
restless, and expressive. He has dark brown hair,
cut short, with x beard and moustache a shade or two
darker, both also short. His head is rather long, with
broad, high forehead, presenting a fine intellectual
development, which, with a strongly-marked Roman
nose, and the lower part of his face, as far as the
hirsute adornment enables one to scan it, denoting
fiimnesß and decision, exhibits one of the moat sol
dierlike physiognomies, especially in profile, that I
have happened to see. There is --.'not a particle of
assumption about him, His manners are eminently
frank, simple, and prepossessing. He is of easy ac
cess to a fault, and has the art, which many in high
position never can or never will learn, of making
eveiy onefeel unconstrained who approaches him. He
is a good talker, too, loving a pungent jest, a shrewd
repartee and a hearty laugh. He is in his full meri
dian vigor, as the greater, part of those are whom
the present struggle has made conspicuous, and
seems to enjoy health uninterrupted and even exu
berant. If, with the superb army he is leading, he
fails to contribute his .full share towards the great
events which are precipitating the rebellion to wards
its last gasp, it will be the keenest and least looked
for disappointment of the war.
A Severe Cavalry Skirmish—Burning 1 of

Tennessee Railroad Cut,
Cincinnati, July 24. —A cavalry expedition,
under Col. Toland, of the 34th .Ohio Mounted In

which was sent by Brigadier General Scammon,
from Charleston, Va., to cut the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad, at Wytheville, has been, success
ful. ; They captured Wytheville after a severe
fight, taking 120 prisoners, two pieces of artillery,
and 700 stand of armß. Our loss was about 65 killed
and wounded. Col. Toland and Capt, Delaney, of
Cincinnati, were killed, and Col. Powell severely
wounded. The enemy lost 75 killed and a large
number wounded. Our troopß were fired on by the

The Retreat of Morgan.
Cincinnati, July 24. Shortly after Morgan
crossed the Muskingum yesterday, he was attacked
by the militia under Colonel Hall, with two pieces
of artillery. Fifteen rebels were killed and several
wounded.
His progress was checked twice by Col. Hall, but
he finally escaped, via Cumberland, Guernsey coun
ty, which place he left last night.
At seven o’clock this morning he crossed* the Cen
tral Ohio Railroad at Campbell’s, but was so closely
pursued by Gen. Shackleford that he had not time to
do any damage beyond burning the ddput and tear,
ing up a portion of the railroad track.
At 9 o’clock thia morning he reached Washington,
Guernsey county, where he did considerable damage,
plundering, Sec. General Shackleford was still close
behind him.
A courier who arrived from the vicinity of.
Taylorsville at noon, reports that a squad of about
fifty men were detached from Morgan’s command
when he crossed the Muskingum river, and are
prowling around the country burning houses and
wheat-stacks, and killing live stock. Three hun
dred mounted men have been sent after them.'
Cincinnati, July 24.—Major ICrouze had a
skirmish with the rebels at 11 o’clock this morn
ing, driving them out of Washington. When last
heard from, Morgan was at Winchester, twelve
miles noitheast of Cambridge, moving toward the
Steubenville and Indiana Railroad. He was still
closely pursued by our forces, *

SHARPSHOOTERS IN THE WEST.—'While
we in the East were concentrating out- whole atten
tion on the armies of Buell and McClellan, the little
handful of patriotic men lying at Camp Weld were
contesting the battle-field of Valverde and Fort
Craig against a force of Texans as ferocious as those
who fought at Pea Ridge, and with a valor not'Bur
paesed by the cohorts of Sigel, When the former
day waß yet doubtful, and our lines half wavered
before the reckless onslaught of the Texans, Sam
Tappftn, a lieutenant colonel of Colorado Volun
teers, rode round among his men, sitting as coolly
as if he were in a drawing-room. “Don’t get ex
cited. boys,” was his injunction. “ The fight is ours
if you only keep perfectly cool. Take aim when
you fire—watch me, now—give me a gun.” A car
bine was passed him by a private. “Do you see
that Texan fellow, yonder.” he continued, “ who’s
fighting bo splendidly His men fixed their eyes
on the officer indicated. -Tappan drew a fine, steady,
bead on him—bang! arid down went the Texan,
tumbling from his-saddle. Several repetitions of
this example in a few minutes restored perfect sang

of sharpshooters.—Cor. Evening Post. 1 .
THE TRUE ISSUE.—In spite of the renewed
partisan attempts to make) the contrary appear, the
assaults of the Slave Power Conspiracy is upon the
real. Democracy of the country. It seeks the dis
memberment of the Union simply because it could
not: pervert the Union from a republic to a virtual
oligarchy, a political plantation ruled over by a few
political overseers lording it by the divine right of
the peculiar institution! It is utterly false to affirm
that the North is fighting from sectional feeling
.merely to conquer a hated adversary. It is fighting
for the integrity sf the entire nation against a purely
local insurrection. However humanity may rejoice
that the knell of a barbarous feudalism has been
struck, the primary object of the Federal Govern
ment is not to abolish slavery, but to prevent slavery
from abolishing. the republic. Therefore there can
be no permanent peace until slavery is annihilated
as a political force, and the deceived South taught
. its true character.— Boston Transcript.
VALLANDIGHAM ON MORGAN.—An In

it would be impossible for the Government to en
force the conscript act in this State and Ohio; that
Morgan had hiß wires laid to that effect 5 that the
present raid is only an introductory matter; that he
will give ihe Stales a second visit in case the law
should be attempted to be enforced.”
GABIBALDI’S OOB'RESPOJfDENOE. —I spent
an amusing hour in looking over the gems of Gari
baldi’s correspondence. In one of them a young
man of Hull, relying on the noble sentiments of Mr.
Garibaldi, begged for some employment, as things
had been going queer with him for some time past.
In another, a Viennese doctor declared that he was
in possession of an infallible recipe to cure the gout.
After he had succeeded in effecting 600 cures, he ven
tured to offer his services to the hero of Italy. All
Garibaldi’s doctors were to collect some fifty grnity
patients, prepare the cure, and he would complete it.
The result should then belaid before the eyes of
astounded Europe; but not the secret, which the
Austrian Government was trying to extort from the
discoverer. An immediate answer was requested,
as the discoverer had an excellent opportunity at
the time for getting away. So far as lam aware,
Garibaldi followed my advice, and left all these let
ters unanswered.— Bentley's Miscellany.
LOUIS NAPOLEON.—On one occasion I hap
pened to call at Lord Alvanley’s house with my old
commanding officer, Arthur Upton, when, in the
course of a conversation on France, he asked my
opinion on the revolution, and of Prince Louis Na
poleon’s chance of being named President of the Re
public. Alvanley informed us that he had not very
long before passed some days with the Prince at Gol.
Dawson Darner’s country seat, and he observed that
he had never met with a more agreeable person:
that the Prince wasvery communicative, and would
sit up smoking cigarettes to two or three o’clock
in the morning; and that on one occasion, in a long
political discußsion,he had said, among other things,
« It is fated that ere long I shall become Emperor of
France, avenge the defeat of Waterloo, and drive
the Austrians out of Italy: and the time for this is
not far distant.” On the* following morning Lord
Alvanley related what he had heard; to Colonel
Darner, who observed: “Prince Louis is a charm
ing person—so gentlemanlike and pleasing in man
ner, bo accomplished and well informed. He has a
thousand goi.d and agreeable qualities, but on the
subject of politics, my dear Alvanley, he is as mad
as a hatter.”— Gronoiu's Recollections.
THE NEW. YORK! COUNCILMEN.—Mr. Gross
said : I agree with the gentleman from the Twenty
second (Mr. Russel)'when he says the opposition is
to any draft whatever. The opposition is to the
draft, and to the draft only. The people reason
that even if they pAy $3OO now. what guarantee is
there that they will not again be called next week
or week after next! The act under which the draft
takes place only exempts such parties from thiß
draft on pay of $3OO. lam in favor of relieving all
from the draft. I am opposed to any unreasonable,
unjust draft, like the one nowbeing enforced, which
falls so heavily upon the poorer classes. I trust that
some amendment may be made, whereby the $3OO
will only, be paid to such as are unable to pay it.
There are many men who can well afford to pay that
Bum, even out of. the moneys made out of this war.
Councilman Sandford said the only way in which
this rebellion could be put down was by withdraw
ing men and money from the Administration. In
the language of Richard O’Gorman, he said: “ Arm
the people of New York pgaiQSt the aggressions of
a corrupt Administration.” He was opposed to
giving either tnezi or money.
Brigadier General E. N, Kirk, of the Army of
.the Cumberland, died a few daya ago in Chicago.
He was, it; i 3 said, one of the most popular officers

SLIGHT DISTURBANCE IN BALTIMORE,
—An intoxicated negro soldier, belonging to Colonel
Birnev’s Maryland negro regiment, whilst walking
the Btreet on Thursday with side arms and a loaded
revolver, shot and mortally wounded a negro drum
mer*boy belonging to the same regiment, and subse
quently wounded a United States sailor, one of a
crew who attempted te arrest him. An immense
crowd assembled and beat the negro terribly, and
would have killed him but for the interference of
the police. The affair caused great excitement, as

A SOLDIER’S OPINION OF THE RIOT.—
The following extract is from the letter of a general
officer in Gen. Meade’s army of 16th inst. *. «We
hoped to be up in time to prevent Gen. Lee’s re
crossing the Potomac, but must content ourselves
for the present with the good news from Vicksburg,
Port Hudson, &c. Everywhere, indeed, the cause
of the Union seems to be triumphant, except in the
city of Nmi i York ! What a genuine Copperhead, vic
tory that was—the burning of the Colored Orphan
Asylum, the hanging of poor unoffending negroes
in the streets, the tearing up of railroad tracks, the
destruction of telegraph lines, and sacking of news
paper offices. I trust this mob law is not long to
reien supreme in New York, even when encouraged
by blank cartridges irom the military, and concilia
toiy speeches from the civil authorities.”
REBEL PRISONERS.—The New York Eve
ning Post says : “More than two thousand wounded
rebel prisoners have been brought to this port during
the past few days. They fought in the battle of
Gettysburg, |and were abandoned by their com
rades. Of the eleven thousand left.on the field,
about four thousand in all are to go into hospital on
David’s Island, and the arrivals take place daily,
though none of the rebels set foot in the streets of
New York. The remaining thousands are provided
with accommodations at p oints further Bouth.”
A MUSICAL REGIMENT.—In the 12th Rhode
Island regiment, which was camped last week on
Vine-street Hill, near the Methodist church, were
many capital smgers. Thursday evening, after dress
parade, that touching and beautiful hymn, “Nearer,
my God, to Thee,” was sung by a portion of the
regiment, in a style seldom excelled by any choir or
congregation. Wednesday evening, on invitation,
a large number of the men of the regiment attended
the prayer and social meeting in the vestry of the
church, the exercises being conducted by a local
Methodist minister of Providence, Rev. Chas. fli.

Mrs. Bowers this evening concludes a very sue
cessful engagement, which has extended over six
weeks. In the summer season, hitherto, the drama
has usually been very poorly patronized here. The
political and military excitement of the time make
a further drawback. Nevertheless, Mrs. Bowers
has been a winning card in the leßßee’s hands, as
Mr. Warren, the indefatigable treasurer of the
theatre, can fully testify. Mrs. B. will be succeeded
next week by Mrs. John Wood, who ie also a fa
vorite here.
Mr. J. S. Clarke commences a short season at
the Academy of Music, with a company of his own,
on Monday, the 17th August.
It is rumored that the Richings English Opera
Troupe will soon appear here, but at what theatre
has not been stated.
The reconstruction; and improvement of Mrs.
John Drew’s Arch-street Theatre are in rapid pro
gress, and will be completed, so as virtually to make
a new house, in time for the opening of the fall sea
son, at the usual time, early in September.
The alterations in Walnut-street Theatre appear
to be on a much more extended scale than was origi
nally purposed. There will be two additional rows
of seats in the boxes, and the parquet will be en
larged by taking a sufficient space from the stage to
accommodate the orchestra. • Behind the scenes
some much needed improvements will be made. The
performers’ drawing-rooms will be enlarged and
neatly refitted. Mrs. Garrettaon continues lessee
of this establishment, We have not heard other
engagements for the ensuing season, except that
Dr. Cunnington retains that position as leader of
the orchestra which he has so creditably occupied
for nearly twenty years, and that Mr. Henry Bas
comb is re-engaged as .walking gentleman, with
Mr. Samuel Hemple in low comedy. Both are de
servedly favorites with the public.

Excursion to Cape May.—A. novelty in
the way of a sea-aide excursion will be afforded this
afternoon. A train of cars will leave for Cape
Island (via boat to Camden from Walnut-street
wharf, at 4 P. M.), reaching the shore about 10
o’clock P. 31. The excursionists will return on
Monday morning. The trip to Cape May by rail
road is a legitimate novelty, and the fare has been
fixed at so low a rate ($4 for the trip) that all can

A Great Establishment for Gentle
men to Dine at.—Our readers have already been
advised of the magnificent new extension and im
provement recently completed byMr; J. "W. Price,
in his elegant dining saloons, southwest corner of
Chestnut and Fourth streets.. The pressure upon
Mr. Price’s space during the past few.years has been
steadily increasing, until from necessity, he has
been obliged to enlarge his borders to more than
three times their original extent. Although but one
establishment, it may be called a succession of
saloons, the whole of which are tastefully furnished.
Airy,.RntTijvevcry particular. "With
out intending to flatter the efficient and enterprising
proprietor of this popular establishment, we may
say, that there are few institutions in Philadelphia,
for the accommodation of our citizens, which enjoy
the confidence and ;practical support of so large a
number, or so respectable a class of them. Mr.
Price’s liberality in catering to the comfort and gus
tatory pleasures of his guests is proverbial, and he
richly deserves the great -success that has crowned
his efforts in their behalf.
Yjeyys op the Battle-Ground at Qet
tysbubo, Pa.—l'. .Gutekunat, 701 and 706 Arch,
.street, Philadelphia, respectfully announces that,
aided personally by a prominent lawyer of Gettys
burg, who was a useful guide to our forces during
the battles there, he has succeeded in making several
fine photographic views of prominent parts of the
battle-ground at that eventful place.
They are published in a series of seven 10-by-12
views, and will be sold by subscription only; the
proceeds of saleß to be used for the benefit of our
sick and wounded soldiers.
The subscription books and samples are now ready
The views are, viz :
1. Major General Meade’s Headquarters.
2. The Field of Battle, July 1. "
3. Our Centre—looking east from Cemetery Hill.
4. Gateway of the Cemetery.
5. The Seminary.
6. Residence of the i‘ Old Patriot,”
7. Second Corps Hospital and Headquarters If nil el

The price of the set will be $lO. Orders should be
given at once to secure good prints and orompt de

The Revival gv Trade.—One of tlie
effects of the grand retinue of Union victories which
of late have crowned our arms has been to infuse
new life in our marts of trade and traffic. And in
no department has this been more apparent than, at
the celebrated Coal Yard of Mr. W. W. Alter, Ninth
street, above Poplar. The rush for his superior coal
within the la9t few days* has been unprecedented.
Cause why 1 He sells the best coal for the money,
and the most of it.

Potiek of Gentleness. —No bad maa
is ever brought to repentance by angTy words; by
bitter, scornful reproaches. He fortifies himself
against reproof, and hurls back foul charges in the
face of his accuser. Yet, guilty and hardened as he
seems, be has a heart in his bosom, and may be
melted to tears by a gentlevoice. Whoso, therefore,
cannot restrain his disposition to blame And find
fault, and can bring himself down to a fallen brother,
•will soon find a way to better feelings within. Hence
we advise all men, in the kindest possible tone,
to purchase their summer garments at the fashiona
ble clothing emporium of Granville Stokes, No. 609
Chestnut street, and by so doing save at least 2-5 per
cent.
Bloody CmitOGKArnY.—After Vicks
burg surrendered. General Lee, of South Carolina,
in order to display his spirit, opened a vein in his
arm and wrote his parole with blood. If thiß donkey
in soldier-straps had chopped off his empty noddle,
and after boring it full of boles used it for a sand
box, he would have made a complete thing of the
Quixotic exhibition. If Secesh mußt write let him
use good black ink, and after inditing a record of his
sorrow and shame for what he had done in the wac
against the Union, make himself useful by adding a
postscript, commendatory of the elegant garments foe
gentlemen and youths that are made at the Brown
Stone Clothing Hall of Bockhill & -Wilson, Nos. 603
and 605 Chestnut street, above Sixth.
