Tile Coming Campaign.
The noise of Gettysburg and Ticksburg
has died away; and, with the exception of
the tumult in Ohio oyer John Morgan's in-:
wasion, and the assault on Charleston, the.
nation is at rest. Our armies are-resting on
their laurels and counting their gains. The
armies of our enemies, like sorely-pressed
fugitives, are endeavoring to find shelter
mid comfort. The barren fields of Virginia
will be a sad exchange for the glorious har
vests of Southern Pennsylvania and Upper
Maryland. Joe Johnston, like* “ Poor
Jo” in Bleak House, keeps “moving on,”
-and, in being driven from Jackson, loses
the control of the groat railroad that
-strengthens the power of the Mississippi.
Mobile is virtually isolated from the Con
ifederacy, and its fall may be expected at an
6arly day. We have taken possession of
Morris Island, and are slowly and surely
drawing tho lines aroimd Charleston. Rose
crans is moving upon Bragg, and we may
expect to hear of a diversion in the direction
of East Tennessee. As soon as Burnside
gets his command in moving condition we
may nnticipate_an advance upon Cumber
land Gap and.the occupation of Knoxville.
The relief of East Tennessee is an object
very dear to every loyal heart. From the
beginning. the people of that community
lyive been patient, and long-suffering.
The cruelties heaped upon them have been
unparalleled in ferocity; and at this time,
according to Parson Brownlow, over twen
ty thousand East Tennesseans are in the
armies of the Union: It is not, however, in
its relations to any one of these points that
we view the importance of the coming cam
paign. We have narrowed the field of war
into a very small compass, and, by the con
solidation of armies, the; occupation of ter
ritory, and the possession of-States, have so
changed and reduced the-ecene of the situa
-tion, that when the war again begins we
may expect a fearful battle, and a result that
swill end the war.
The real operations ot this campaign are
not taking place in ilie field. The two
.armies are little more than the picket guards
-of an army, in the rear. Jefferson Davis
has made the South a grand camp, every
Southern man capable of bearing arms being
-ordered into the service. In the loyal States
the conscription is makinga military people.
We all begin to feel our duty as citizens is
to the country, and that we must do the duty
•of a soldier if we would be worthy of free
dom. Those who' remain at home are
arming and educating themselves to arms
-and forming battalions and companies. The
•recent invasion of the State of Pennsylva
nia, and the more recent riots in New York,
added the strength of a hundred thousand
'men to the armies of the Union. An army
was suddenly formed, and although it is no
longer an army, the tap of the drum would
'summon it into existence in a day. So that
when we call the Northern States a great
■army; wedo not exactly use a figurative ex
pression, for. the.people possess all the ele
ments of an army—courage, zeal, and skill.
When the danger comes we have merely to
give them a commissary and quartermaster,
and a major general. The earning campaign
will test the strength and devotion of these
two. armies. The truest statesmanship on
our partis that which examines this fact and
anticipates'the most. . .For we .must remem
ber that Jefferson Davis is using every
moment to recover from the disasters in
Mississippi and Pennsylvania. If by any
means, by the exercise of any tyranny or
force, lie can compel the exhausted and de
pleted Southern States to yield him up an
; army-it will be done. His policy will be to
contact -his
point in the West, like Talladega, and a
point in.the East like Lynchburg, and,there
drawing around him his new army, make
a' final war for recognition. :
This is the policy the North mustpreparc
itself to meet. If we sit smiling over our last
campaigns, and decking our favorite generals
with laurels, instead of moving on with
mighty energy,-' we . shall have another
Ohickahominy campaign to throw gloom
oyer the country and strengthen the enemies
of the Republic abroad. For we must re
member that in this contest we depend upon
ourselves alone. Russia might have given
us sympathy, but Russia is too busy with :
Poland to think of the United States. We
may as weH admit the fact that all the signs
point to the desire on the part of the Euro.
p.ean Powers to see the Union dissevered'
and the influence of the Republic destroyed.
Therefore, there is no hope to be obtained
from abroad. France, that was our friend
when the Bourbons reigned and its people
were under the influence of the spirit of
freedom and philosophy that prevailed
during the Revolution, is now, by the
schemes and treachery of the Emperor of
the French, the most persistent enemy of
the Republic. There is but one way of meet
ing the danger and defeating our enemies,
and that is to unite and consolidate the
power of the North and throw it upon the
rebellion. Let us strengthen Meade, and
Grant, and Rosecrans, doubling • and
trebling their armies, and ; move upon the
foe in such numbers that resistance will be
abandoned, and every mareh become a
victory. This is the view to take of our
coming campaign, and if we truly profit by
past experience and present prosperity,
peace will come to bless us before the sum
mer days are over.
The Popularity of the Draft.
The argument by which the opponents of
the war seek to prove the draft an unwise
measure, is based upon a profound false
hood—the statement of its unpopularity.
Admit that the draft is unpopular—and its
unwisdom is to a certain extent admitted/
for ,ours is not a Government which can
j.uitlp A# »lsslj> adijU auj? wl.Uk tho
people wiU not support—all its power is
from the people, and from the people must
be its principles. When the nation sent
army after army into the field, in answer to
the call of the Government, it did hot fail to
make known the purposes for which those
armies were created. When, the Govern
ment pledged itself to the suppression of
the rebellion by every constitutional
measure, it obeyed the will of the peo
ple, At the command of the nation the
• war was begun ; at its command the war
has been for two years waged with/ unin
termitted energy, and not until the nation
desires it will it. end. And all . the plans
-the Government has. adopted for theprose
■cution of the war have been sanctioned by
the people/ and all the means necessary
■have been-by the people granted. As the
■Government is the constitutional embodi
ment of the nation, it must execute the na
rtiohal will;, only in this has it strength, or
.dignity, or safety. Upon these principles
■the Government has invariably acted;
■throughout the war it has been in the closest
.-sympathy with the spirit of the people; the
President has repeatedly affirmed that the
•popular yrish and will should be his guides,
■and there is not an instance in which his
policy has contradicted the purpose of the
loyah States. The Government is to the
people .what the apex of the pyramid is to
.its base.
. Had it been otherwise, the secession of
'the'Southern States would have been peacea
bly established ; had it been transiently so,
the war would long ago have ceased; had
we not assurance that it'will remain so, we

Kotliiri Dut iho unrelenting resolution of
l&e people, their mighty sacrifices, their
steadfast faith, have enabled the Government
to do what it has done ; nothing but these i
will enable it to finish the task now more ;
than half completed. In lands -which are|
not free, Governments may declare war j.
■without consulting with their subjects—they t
may, indeed, successfully wage it in opposi-i
"tion to every interest of the people over
whom they tyrannize —but in- Republican
America, sovereignty resides with the people,
power is granted by them, and the Govern
ment which thinks against the thought, of
the people, and feels apart from the heart of
the people, is destitute of dignity, and prin
ciple, and power. This the history of Mr-
Btjchanan’s administration proves—if proof
Were necessary. The people knew the
value of the national integrity, and there
fore they decreed the war for its preserva
tion; step by step American-statesmen dis
covered Die nature of the work thus begun ;
one army was foun-d insufficient, the people
sent another, and for two years have been
gloriously sending their soldiers to the
front; the enemy was found strongly, en
trenched in his accursed system of human -
slavery ; the Government emancipated- the
slaves of rebels, and the people upheld its
action. The’great efforts of two years re
sulted in gigantic victories; to make these
the'means of obtaining final and permanent
victory the Government ordered the pro
sent draft, and the people have sustained
the'draft. ■
We say they have sustained the draft,
and we also affirm that the . draft is an ex
pression of their will. Thus far the mass of
the loyal people have earnestly supported
every measure of the Government, and they
have not withdrawn their support from this,
of all its measures, the sternest.; Disloyal
men may teach wliat they please, but they
cannot .convince an intelligent people
that the moment before victory is the
time for truce. We are not to be
argued into self complacent satisfaction,
with what we have achieved, to the
loss of what we may yet obtain ; we are not
to be convinced that it is wise to abandon
our Work before we have finished it. On
the contrary, we know that’victories already
gained by energy, are but reasons for greater
energy, and that the draft is the most' ener
getic measure for the immediate suppression
of the rebellion that could possibly be
adopted. It is wise, because we must use
every means to keep our advantage and im
prove it; it is economical, because it will
shorten the war.; it is just, because the na
tion cannot justly choose a prolonged and
uncertain contest; it is necessary, because
wisdom, economy of life and wealth, and
justice are necessary to a speedy and honora
ble peace. Besides this, the war has reached:
a stage at wliidfi volunteering has na
turally' ceased; the nation is as ever ear
nest in its loyalty, but the men who found
it easy to go to war. have gone ; those to
whom it is difficult rejmain, AH are anxious
that others should go, but each is unready
to enlist himself. It is not from want of pa
triotism that volunteering has ceased, and,
therefore, the people feel that it is just that
chance should select the three hundred thou
sands of men who are to give the last blow
to the rebellion against the American Re
public.
Let it be remembered, also, that the false
hood which declares the draft to be un
popular has no other authority than the New
York riots. Disloyal journals cite those
sdrtanic outbreaks as proof that the draft will
be forcibly resisted by the people. But is it
thus that the people are to be calumniated ?'
Are they all rioters? Is the spirit which
inspired those cruel mqbs to resistance to
the laws of the land, to the burning and
robbing of a city, to the murder of helpless
negroes and unoffending white men, the
spirit of the American people ? We thank
God that the lie is a lie.„ ; The riots of-New
York are not representative, but exceptional:
Elsewhere timdraftpeaceably proceeds ; in
several States it is nearly completed. In
Philadelphia it is Welcomed. Incidentally,
disturbances may be expected, but nationally
the draft will meet no opposition. The
people cheerfully submit to the law, because
they know, it to be necessary and wise.
The Roebuck Debate.
There is a sudden and fatal end of the
famous Roebuck motion, which was to the
effect that the British Parliament should re
quest Queen ■ Victoria to unite with the
other European rulers to end,the War here
by acknowledging the independence of the
did not arrive. The news by the Scotia
was not what was, expected,: for it merely
confirmed the fact that Lee had invaded
Pennsylvania, where his men had commit
ted many acts of violence and robbery.
Roebuck, as well as Russell, Palmer
ston, Gladstone, and , Gregory calcu
lated on hearing, on or before the 13th, that
the Rebels had captured and sacked Harris
burg, Philadelphia, and Baltimore—that
they were hbout entering New York—and
that Jefferson Davis, was occupying an
easy chair in the White House at Wash
ington. This news did not arrive, so, Roe
buck made a.speech of a few vague sen
tences, in which he warned Palmerston
of tho wiles and wickedness of his friend
Napoleon, and then withdrew his motion.
It is creditable to Mr.- Roebuck that he
.thus shrunk from reasserting and defending
the monstrous falsehood he had uttered, on
the first evening of the debate, about Na
poleon’s intention of immediately asking
the British Government to join him in in
terference in American affairs. Of course,
after Napoleon’s official denial in the Mo
niteur, it would have been impossible for
Roebuck to have reiterated the lie.
The public has sustained some loss in. the
withdrawal of Roebuck’s motion. No
doubt some amusing incidents would have
occurred. This we think because the pre
vious performance was highly dramatic.
One of the London papers, which gives a
weekly view of the “ Inner Life of the
House of Commons,” has sketched the pro
ceedings of the first evening so graphically
that we shall freely use it in what follows.
This article commences by photographing
the proposer of the motion Mr. RoW
buck is much changed. In person he is
the same except that age and infirmity hare
sharpened his - features, thinned his' hair,
dimmed his eye, and made him less brisk"
and active in his movements than he "was
twenty years ago. But his intellectual
powers are not what they were, and the
peculiarities, of his action in speaking and’
his temper have become exaggerated. These,
are the sad changes which everybody ob
serves. His sentences are just as curt and
shoi t tkojr. his -.li-.li j., vlji
action is still more dramatic, his temper is
more acid' and fierce, but the' intellectual
power which he once showed is not there.
His speech on this occasion was distressing.
It was a grand opportunity if he could but
have used it. There was ample room* for
the display of .all the powers of an accom
plished speaker. As a lawyer he might
have defended the legality of recognition;
as a logician he might ’have reasoned out
its propriety. And there was fine scope for
the declamatory powers of the orator.
But, as we have said, Mr. Roebuck failed
to use the opportunity, and failed evidently
from the decay of Ms powers. The law of
the case he scarcely touched ; his reasoning
was childish ; his declamation, when he at
tempted it, was a mere explosion of un
reasoning temper. The House, however",
listened attentively, and occasionally a
small burst of cheers from some of our
wilder spirits greeted his angry diatribes.-
But the; speech did not" secure the approval
even of those who are friendly to the views
. which Mr. Roebuck advocated; indeed, it
i was generally allowed that Mr. Roebuck had
damaged the cause which he had taken stipon
himself to defend."
Roebuck’s account of his self-appointed
to Fontainebleau was heard with
great attention, we are told, “except now
and then, when a suppressed titter, threat
ening an explosion of laughter, ran through
the house.. We need not be surprised at
the silence or the laughter. ■ It was natural
tha* the House should desire to hear the
wonderful story ; it was almost impossible
that it .should refrain from laughter when it
notaiflß fliamft.” ITio sMinsV iiasrji'iy Bieii<
tions a few of the strange events which
had occurred m Fontainebleau, and then
wickedly asks, “But did. Fontainebleau
ever see a more curious sight than that of
Messrs. Roebuck and Lindsav marching
up the grand staircase and into the Imperial
audience-chamber—Mr. Roebuck, in the
loose brown frock-coat whioh he always
wears',- (unless, indeed, ho had specially
decked himself out for this notable occa
sionj and Mr. Lindsay, with his skipper
like waddle and hands in his trowsers'
pockets, where they generally aret How the
gorgeous flunkies must have stared as these
twfi 4 singular figures marched into the pre
sence ; blit they would have stared more if
they had known them as we know them,
and had understood that these were two
ambassadors, .unaccredited, it is true, but
still ambassadors after a sort, going to talk
with their master about high matters of
State. ‘Fancy,’ said a member as he
passed out of the house, his countenance
radiant with humor the while, ‘ Lindsay
and. Roebuck in the audience-chamber at
Fontainebleau I §Roebuck in his loose
frockleaning on his stick, and Lindsay on
his bow legs, with his hands in his pockets,
like a skipper on the deck of his ship. I
wonder that some of the old portraits didn’t
jump out of the frames.’
In this running commentary on the de
bate, Lord Robert Montagu, fa son of
the Duke of Manchester and M. P. for Hun?
tingtonsliire,_) who moved a counter-resolu
tion “that an impartial neutrality should
continue to be maintained by her Majesty’s
Government during; the present unhappy
contest in the States of North America,” is
described as. one who does not succeed as a
public speaker though he works hard, gets
up his s\>eet:hes with care, has a good pre
sence, a good voice, and plenty of words at
command: “It has come to be recognized
that, with all Lord Robert’s diligence in
collecting facts and the laborwhicli lie un
dergoes in getting up his speeches, he wants
intellectual power. He can collect the ma
terials, but he has not the power tp use them
aright. He is a hodman, in short, and not
an architect; a color-grinder, and not an
artist.”
Of Mr. Gladstone, who opposed the
Roebuck motion, but repeated that Jeff
Davis “ had made the South a great
nation,” only mere mention is made. But
an able and warm friend of the Union,-Mr.
Eoester, M. P. for Bradford, is sketched
con amore.: Here is a miniature of, our
friend: “Mr. Forster has conquered for
himself a position in the House. It is not
the highest. He does not rank amongst our
orators. He will never contest the palm
with his friend, Mr. Bright, nor with
Gladstone, nor Disraeli. But, then, he
does not pretend to oratory, and has, in
deed, few of the qualifications which arc
necessary to make what is called a powerful
speaker. But he always commands atten
tion, nevertheless, and for this reason ; he
is; a clear, sagacious, practical thinker, and
can utter his thoughts in plain, unvar
nished language. He seldom calls forth
cheers; hut he always secures attention,
and sets men thinking, which, on the
whole, we take to be a greater triumph
than that of gaining applause, and certainly
far more to be desired than the conquest of
loud Uiughter, which some whom we know
so highly value. After saying all this, we
need hardly add that Mr. Forster de
livered a very useful speech. In the House,
of course, we have men of all sorts: We
have a few distinguished orators; we have
sagacious, hard-headed debaters; we have
a large number of fluent talkers, and we
have a still larger number of men who
nevor open their lips. Mr. Forster we
place at the head of the debaters; and, if
we cannot say that he adorns everything
that he touches, we may certainly affirm
that on every subject he discusses he throws
additional light.”
Lord Robert Cecil, a violent supporter
of Mr. Roebuck’s notion; is contemptu
ously passed by. Mr. Bright was to be
sketched. He is thus mentioned: ‘“There’s
Bright up !’ was the cry in the lobbies and,
the outer rooms; and straightway the wan
dering members scudded into the house, as
you see the fowls in a farm-yard hurry to
the barn door when the farmer appears,- with
sieve in hand, to throw to them their daily
food. And every man inside settled himself
dchvn, anxious to listen to the great orator
on this his pet subject. Mr. Bright
with Mr. Roebuck ; and what a scathing he
administered to the member fotSheifield
• _• rr-uuu'muoc ICSC lib
Ho hear and see. It was.not invective, how
ever, nor mere declamatory abuse. He did
not use hard words, nor did he seem to be
: in the slightest degree vindictive. The
weapons of the honorable member for Bir
mingham were facts well handled—handled
as no one but he can handle facts. And as,,
one by one, these terrible facts 'fell upon
poor Roebuck’s head, - you almost felt pity
for the assailed, and an inclination to im
plore the assailant to have mercy. And
how the House cheered and: laughed ! There
are few members of any position in the
House who have; not felt the power of IJoe
buck’s sharp attacks, and hence the general
pleasure evinced at seeing him under retri
butory punishment. But, in justice to the
honorable member for Sheffield, it is right
to say 'that he took his punishment well and
patiently. Once or twice he jumped up to
correct Mr. Bright’s quotations, but, on the
whole, he was marvellously patient, and
bore .up bravely under the pitiless pfelting of
the storm. -It is needless to say that this
was a splendid speech. It had in it all the:
characteristics of true oratory—close reason
ing, sarcasm, manly pathos, high-wrought
declamation. Towards tho close of the ora
tion, when Mr. Bright was speaking, in his
loftiest manner, certain young Conservatives
clustered at the bar, who had just retired
from dinner, began to groan. The House
at once, however, quashed by a burst, of
cheers this untimely and unseemly inter-,
ruption; and the speaker closed his speech
with a peroration which no one in the House
but he could have conceived or delivered,
and which few that heard it will soon" for
get; ‘ I don’t agree with your friend in any
thing,’ said an old Conservative to a Radical
member; ‘ but he is unquestionably the
grandest speaker in the House.’ And this
is our verdict.”
' This is the opinion of many. Mr. Jons
Bsigiit, emphatically-one of the people, is
the most effective of English Parliamentary
speakers; hut, because he has sprung from.
'the industrial classes, has not the most re*
mote chance of being invited, even- should
his liberal principles triumph, to form part'
of any Administration in England. He is
too honest a man for office there, and his
with, nobility is rmothGi* cliaqimlifloatlon 1'
The peroration of Mr. Bright’s speech,
above referred to, is true as well as brilliant.
He said : “We find the Government of the
United States for two years past contending
for its life, and in that contest contending
necessarily for human freedom. It affords
a remarkable example—the first in the his
tory of the world—6f a great Government
coming forth as the organized defender of
law, freedom, and equality.” . He concluded
thus: . ■ ' -
“I have not B&id a word with respect to what may
happen to England if you go to war with the United
. States. It will be a war upon the ocean. Every
thing that belongs to both nations, as-far as possi
ble, will be swept from the seas; but when the trou
bles in America age over, be they ended by the res to

: Gen. Conner has transmitted to the headquar
ters of the army an interesting account of his recent
expedition* Among its results are ueeful lessoas
to Indians of Utah, with a view to the preservation
of peace, the establishment of a hew military post
at a point at or near.the great bend of Bear, river,
known as Soda Springs, in the Territory of Jdahoe,
forthe protection of o verland emigration to Oregon,
California, and the Banniclc City mines. A new
road has been opened north of Soda Springs to
Snake river, to Bhorten the route oi emigrants from
the East via Fort Bridges, not less than seventy
miles, and to present a route well watered, and fur
nishing good feed for. animals, with an abundance
of game. Conner also laid out a town, in which
he settled fifty-three families of a hundred and

ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
OPERATIONS OF THE PAST WEEK.
l«c Baffled in Several Attempts to Enter
Eastern Virginia,
Our Otwalry Active.
Stuart's Cavalry Driven from Manassas
Gnp-Movemcn t of tKe Rebels.
Hjsauquarters Army of the Potomac, -July
25.—'The rebels were in force near Front Royal, but
we drove their cavalry from Manassas Gap about
sunset last evening. It is believed that they now
intend to cross the Blue Ridge at Chester or Thorn
ton’s Gap. At the former place they will meet with
obstacles.
Our army is full of high expectations and antici
pations.
Washington, July 25.—The National Republican,
of this afternoon, states ,: “Positive information has
been received here that General Lee has been delay
ing on the Upper Potomac to enable him to getaway ■
safely with all the plunder he collected in Maryland
''and Pennsylvania,' and that hiß forces have been
gathering the new crop of grain in the Shenandoah
Valley ; that he Is now moving toward Richmond
with immense trains of supplies; that the necessity
of procuring these was increased by the fall of
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and is now intensified
by the cutting of the Tennessee and Virginia Rail
road, which was a great medium for procuring sup
plies for his army.” *
Washington, July 26.— Advices from the head
quarters of the Army of the Potomac received to
night say that during the paßt week our troops have
not been idle, but by a close scrutiny of Lee’s move
ments, have, by rapid marches, succeeded in baffling
his several attempts to enter Eastern Virginia, and
forestalled his attempted possession of the BLuq
Ridge. ’ ' r
It is generally believed that Lee is -how moving
rapidly towards Staunton by the Shenandoah val
ley.- He tried successively Snicker’s, Ashby’s, and
Manassas%aps, but found a strong Union force. al
ready there. At the two last placeßhe was driven
back with loss., * ' >-r. :
At Chester Gap • our cavalry recaptured eleven
hundred head,of cattle stolen by the enemy, and se
veral hundred sheep. A large number of horses
have also been recovered.
Several brisk skirmishes have taken place. With
the exception of cavalry engagements, the principal'
fight occurred on Thursday evening, between Linden
.and Port Royalj in which a brigade of rebel infantry
iw gimraj ttvts fIrtYVH Hirvugfc
tlietown.
The cavalry have done excellent service. The
several commands have performed -arduous marches
and reconnoissances, and completely foiled Stuart
in All his attempts to raid on our flank and rear.
Moseby’s small but energetic band have alone
given us trouble by cutting off foraging I 'parties and
messengers.
A private of a cavalry regiment reports that on
Friday as a division of cavalry was reconnoitring
in the vicinity of Amißsville, a large column of rebel
: infantry-was seen advancing in that direction, and.
. our cavalry were compelled to fall baok.
This force was supposed to be Longstreet’a corps.
Up to Saturday night, however, this report had not
been confirmed;
It is impossible to conceive the poverty of the
country through which the army has passed. The
scanty resources left untouched by the rebels have
been appropriated by our men, and nothing but star
vation stares in the face of the sparse.population..
With the exception of Loudoun oounty, there is
nothing to harvest, excepting a few acres of wheat
and corn, and this must be done bv manual labor, as
the country has been entirely stripped of stock. The
railroad is now in running order to Warrenton.
Our supplies, whioh have been nearly exhausted,
are flowing into the army, and the mails, whjch have
been entirely suspended since the army crossed the
Potomac, are anxiously awaited.
Though the army has had fatiguing marohes and
consequent privations, ft would be a mistake to sup
pose that it is to settle down in idleness. The mes
senger who brought to* Washington the above in
telligence reports that forty of Moseby’a guerillas
were to-day captured near Fairfax Station.

CFrom.the Richmond Enquirer.] .
The,following official despatch-was received at the-
War Department yesterday: '?
Dublin, July 19,1863,
To General S. Cooper:
The enemy, one regiment-of cavalry and parts of
two regiments of infantry, about one thousand'
strong, rode into Wytheville a little before sunset
yesterday,: -
Almost at the same instant two newly organized,
companies and the employees of this place, in all
about -130 men, with two field-pieces, whom! had
despatched under Major T. M. Bowyer, by the pas
senger train, arrived.
A sharp skirmish immediately commenced in the
Btreet,-and continued about three-quarters of an
hour, when Major Bowyer retired with a part of his
men, and brought them off in the train. Captain
Olivemnd two citizens were killed, and Lieutenant*
Rosany badly wounded, '• v
.The enemy lost Colonel Toland, commanding the
brigade, one other colonel, one major, and seven pri
vates killed; one lieutenant colonel, and about twen
ty-five men wounded, and in our hands. The lieu
tenant colonel,. Powell,, is reported mortally wound
ed. lam informed they lost every one of their field
officers. The command left Wytheville about ten
o’clock last night* retreating towards Tazewell
Court House.
It is now reported they are coming down Walk
er’s creek to this place, if they retreat by the way
they came, they will probably be intercepted and
cut up. , "'
They paroled, on their retreat, seventy-five or
eighty of our men, whom, I suppose, they found it
inconvenient to carry off. Of course, the parole,
under such circumstances, is worthless, under their
own order.
The damage to the railroad can be repaired in an
hour. The jail, commissary and quartermaster
storehouses, and several private houses were burned.

A portion of our forces under General Parke, made
an attack and were met by a legion of new recruits
from South Carolina, who, after an engagement of
half an hour, retreated with a loss of 300. Our men
occupied their position until next morning, when
• they made a second advance and discovered that
the rebels had evacuated the town after setting fire
to a number of the houses containing commissary
stores. They were entirely consumed, together with
some forty other buildings which were ignited from
the houses fired by the rebels.
The rebel army left but little behind. So delibe
rately had they left the place that they took all their
sick with them.

also, the cotton factory of William S. Battle. The
Yankees had everything their own way. *
The Whig has the following editorial:
' , THE YANKEE RAIDS.
Fair warning was given by the Yankees of their
intention to organize 100,000 mounted men, and
ravage the eouotry far and wide. The Southern
newspapers did,all in their power to awaken the
people to a sense of danger to keep them from trust
ing to the aid of the, Government, which already '
had its hands more than full, and to inculcate the.
lesson of These efforts of the press
were rewarded with but little success, owing, it is to
be feared, to the inveterate indoleuoenf the Southern
'people.' * •. *' •* . *■
The consequences of this slip-shod Southern way
of doing thiDgs are before us in the raid oh Knox
ville and the destruction of the bridge at Strawberry.
Plains; the raid on Richmond and the burning of
the bridge on the South Anna ; the raid on the Vir
ginia and Tennessee Road at Wytheville, and lastly,
the raid on the Wilmington and Weldon road, the
destruction of a bridge 300 feet long, the loss of 5,000
baleß of cotton and two oar loads of ammunition:
the burning of an important cotton factory, and
other losses. * * _ * * *
During the excitement in this city, caused by
Spear’s exploits, it was bitterly said that a Yankee
’ raid on Richmond was as pleasant and easy ab a
fox chase; It iscertain that the other raids have
been Bafe and agreeable. The pastime afforded the
Yankees by our unprepared condition, at points
where preparation ought by all means to have been
made, is the bjjgt possible encouragement for them to
assail all other places. If a thousand Yankee.horse
men can sport leisurely Around the Confederate ca
pital,we may be sure that 600 will not be deterred from

BRAGG’S RETREAT.
Arf bel correspondent writes: I believe that Gen.
Bragg would have fought the enemy at anytime'
had they advanced upon him, but Roseorans per
sistently continued.: to flank and outflank, and no
alternative-was left but to fight him under great dis
advantages or retreat to a position whioh he oould
not flank.
Of couise the army,.eager for the fray, are dis
satisfied with the retreat, and deep imprecations are
heaped on the head of the commanding general for
not giving battle. So it was when Albert Sydney

Tire Late Rlotfi'und tlie Three Generals.'
Generals Wool ond Sandford have made reportßjto
Gov. Seymour explsTnatory of military operatione
during the riots. Gen/Brown’a relifef of command,
as appears from the letter of Gen. Wool, occurred in
consequence of differencVwith Gen/Sandford, as will
be seen by the following i - .
Notwithstanding General Brown expressed wil"
lingness, in case of being restored/'to servein accord
ance with my orders, I regret being obliged to state
that he afterwards evinced no - disposition to serve
under General Sandford, but actually issued orders
to troops stationed at the • latter’s headquarters,
without any reference whatever to General Sand
ford, which, however, were countermanded ’by the
latter. -
_ After this. Brevet Brigadier General Brown con
tinued to act under the foregoing and other written
and verbal orderß, which were -communicated from ■
me to him, until Friday morning, i7Ehjnst., when,
by virtue of an order from the War Department, he
was relieved by Brigadier General-Oanby, United
States volunteers, of all the command he had previ
ously exercised under myorders.
- Many other orders than those quoted were issued
duriDg the operations, which, as tbeyTefer to details
in reference to posting troopß for the protection of
. property—public and private—need not be submit
ted ; and I have ample reason to believe that the
I duties eDjoined by these orders were generally dis
;ch arged with efficiency by the regulars, volunteers,
and. sailors, and several gunboats, under
respective officers, furnished at my request by Bear
. Admiral Paulding, as also by citizens who enrolled
themselves for the occasion.
General Sandford denies that any troops underMs
orders were directed to fire blank cartridges.
POSTERS IN THE CITY.'
The following has been posted prominently through

DON’T UNCHAIN THE TIGER !
When the traitors of South Carolina met in con
vention in Charleston, and passed their ordinance to
abolish the American Union, and to-crush'out the
democratic principles of free government in Ameri
ca, and when they afterwards fired upon Fort Sump
ter, and I knew that secession meant a terrible war,
I eaid to myself and to them—Don’t unchain the
tiger!
But they did it, and for two years we have seen
and suffered the consequences, written in tears and
blood, and ruin, in our once happy land; and now,
when the rebellion is heing nearly-crushed, and Jeff
Davis is finding his planß defeated, and Southern
traitors, in the loyal States, are trying to help him
by making civil war at home, I' say to myself—un
chain the tiger J \ ' .
When Ihear workingmen talteaboiit resisting the •
law, burning houses, killing- public officers, and
bursting the doors wide open foreverykind of crime
and disorder, itseemsto me they do not think of all
the cost and of all the horrors, or of widowß and or-,
phans, and their scalding tears, and I say to them,-
“ brothers, in the name of‘God-Mlon’t unchain the •
tiger! s ’ " •
When I see well-dressed demagogues filling the
ears of the people with lice, just as the traitors of
the South have done, only to get the workingman
aroused to deeds ol crime-and violence, while they v;
themselves take good care to keep out of the way,
I wish I had the voice of- thunderer, that I might
say to them—Don’t unchain-the tiger!
Workingmen! when any man asks you to break
the law, and tries to stir up-your passions, while he.
skulks out of sight, you may set, him down as your
worst'enemy. Spurn him as'you would a viper.
The patriotic workingmen of the North cannot
afford to Bpend time in killing each other. Be wise,-
and above all things, don’t unchain the tiger.

be told of her charming, vivacious acting, her rare
spirit of fun, and sweet singing. Few comediennes
possess her sense of humor, and . although she dares
to be as funny as she can, she never passes the un
definable limit of artistic propriety. Mr. W. Da

Captain : The Hon. W. D. Kelley,, member of
Congress, reports to me that a large majority of the
women now employed atthe arsenal are not the near

families opposed to the war. You will, therefore,
direct Mr. Irwin, the superintendent,of the clothing
manufactory, to discharge from the‘rolls, immedi

evidence—and this evidence must be in writing, and
filed for reference—that they are the wives, mothers,

Launch op the Cuba.— The new iron
steamship “Cuba,”built by Messrs. NeatTe & Levy,
at the Penn Iron ..Works, was launched on Saturday
morning, in the presence of a vast concourse of per
sons. The fact that it was one of the largest freight
ing ships ever built in this country, drew an eager
and intelligent assemblage anxious to examine-so
great a monster. The launching wa* effected at high
tide, and the vessel glided easily and beautifully into
the water, to the booming of cannon, and the cheers
of the people; The breaking of? the christening
bottle, an old-time usage, was performed by. Miss
Mary Neafie, the accomplished. daughter, of one of
the firm. The deck of the boat was crowded with
ladies and gentlemen, and the American and Spa
nish colors fluttered fore and aft. This vessel is 260
feet long, 38 feet beam, 14 feet in the lower hold, an d
6 feet between decks, being a three-decker. The
cabin deck running the entirelength of the Bhip, is
feet high. It is provided with 80 staterooms, 4 well
ventilated, with a direct acting engine, the cylinder
being 75 Inches diameter, and 5 feet stroke. It has
two flue and. tubular. When.completed,
with its variousimprovemehts, the entire-host will
be upwards of $300,000. r It will not be completed fojr
three months yet. The contract for its construction
was entered. into.about nine, since, but.the
great scarcity of workmen during that time , pre
vented its earlier completion. -She is intended for a
