The renewal 9f active operations by General Banks,ln Western Louisiana has affected, more or less, the regularity of the military routine-even in 'the remotest distriets of the Gulf Department. The advance On the Bed river, planned with a view to ' unimpeded success, was supported by it heavy re serve bonsistiug of the main - portion -- of-the 13th Army Corps. This necessitated the withdrawal of the forces under General McClornand from the TOXfiS coast temporarily for - the iinineillate• rein forcement of General Banks,;the wisdom of which has been confirmed by thevaluableservice rendered by them at the battle of Sabine oross t ititida and on the other fields contested:there.

To this point, on the Rappahannock river, the base of supplies has been removed from Fredericks burg, which is to be forthwith abandoned, as too re mote from the advanced position of our army before Richmond. The headquarters of General Grant are now at or near White House, on the York river. Brigadier General Abercrombie is in command here. The troops from Fredericksburg are arriving hourly. To this point the wounded are forwarded for shipment on steam transports to Washington. Three large vessels left with this. kind of precious freight this morning. The voyage is made four times as long, by the recent 'changes of base, as it had been from Acquia creek or Bello Plain, but the. thirteen miles of jolting saved to the wounded by their shipment on the Rappahannock,Matead of the, Potomac, is a matter of much importance to their future efficiency as well as their present comfort. A party of guerillas, said to number one hundred and fifty, are reported to have passed somewhat to the South this morning, in order, it may be;lnan flop- our forces communicating with the main - artily- Means have been taken to out off this marauding gang. Ina meadow, about twenty miles below Port Royal, a small abattis or chevaux-de-frise has bean erected, behind which a force of armed men were hiding this morning as we passed up. They may attempt the capture of any small craft plying in the river ; but the gunboats on patrol duty ean scarcely fail to see and destroy this petty device. Dismounted men from the lath Ohio Cavalry, sent here to await fresh horses, are charged with pillage and- riot in the houses of the inhabitants. They used their carbines to destroy pier-glasses, and made havoc to the amount of $lO,OOO before they were de tected and their despoiling hands stayed. General Abercrombie is inclined to make a severe example of them. Such men are seldom good soldiers in genuine warfare. Although the Union troops took possession only on the 25th, their two days' possession has made of Port Royal a busy place. The river is gay ivith the flags and streamers of the river craft, prominent among which, of course, is the ensign of the Sani tary Commission. The most_ conspicuous object, however, in the - river view, is the noble figure of the hospital ship Connecticut, a special description of which I must make the subject of a distinct article. She will leave to-morrow- morning; with a load of about 1,000 wounded, for which her accommodations and attendance are ample. Under the care of Dr. T. B. Hood, U. S. V., the. surgeon in command, the wounded on board aro as well oil' as though they were M a regular hospital ashore. The übiquitous Sanitary Commission are not alone in this field of labor. The -Ohio Soldiers' Relief Committee have .at Port Royal, as their agents, Mrs. Seaman and her daughter, from Cleveland; Mrs. A Greenwood, from Cincinnati ; Mr F. L. Reed, of - Marion ; Mr. H. L. Williams, of Mas sillon; Revs. P. C., Pugh and I. McElwain, of Xenia. The Michigan Soldiers' Relief Association is represented by the following gentlemen : Dr. M. F. Baldwin, volunteer surgeon, of Flint; Henry Kellogg, of Niles ; A. Lapham and Geo. Kator, of Farmington, and William James, of Washington, D. C.

The re =amiss/ince ;Of '.Wodnes'day, continued yesterday, determined, that -Lee was' in full force and hold ing a,powerful positiora in our immediate front, somewhat - in advance - .-Af Little River. It happened, too, •:that not only was the nature of the ground 'very favorable to him, but he had gained a,position tactically of the greatest ad vantage. As you already know, the point at which Hancock crossed the river at the railroad bridge is separated' by an interval of about four miles Trom the point at which the corps of Warren and Wright made the passage at Jericho Ford. The enemy had thrown his centre - forward. so as to form a line of battle in the shape of a V, the apex abutting bn the river. Minor reconnoissances .developed that the right flank of Lee's army rested on a swamp, its left on Little river, which covered a good portion of his line. This position the rebels have passed every hour since they arrived hero In fortifying, and if driven from this they had the elaborately-prepared line of the South Anna to fallback upon. In this state of facts the COmmanding General determined on a repetition of the same strategy by whiclihe had forced Lee from the lines of Spottsyl- - vania. ' . Gen. Grant has as little ideaas yen can imagine of buttin his head against prepared'ivorki ; conse quently ho resolved to renass •the North Anna, swing round to the left over the Pamunaey, and leave Lee to enjoy all 'the,benent of his prepared line, in which he would be 'glad to have him stay as ong as possible. Accordingly, yesterday after noon, preparationsWero made, to carry this design into execution. L - - ... To call off the attention. of the enemy, a demon 'stration was - made on our extreme right. The ca valry corps having returned from its great raid, Wilson's division was sent up en the enemy's left, while Wilcox, with Cohora mortars, opened from the north bank, and at dark the, withdrawal of this army was begun—the 6th` Corps loading, followed by the other corps—a strong= skirmish line mean while being left. Hancock, who had the advance in the forward movement, now brings up the rear. It was designed to make the withdrawal secret, and it, seems to have been a success, as not even a picket shot was tired during the:night,.and nothing-mill the ear in the midnight air save -the low rumble of the wagons across the bridges and the muffled tread of moving columns. -- , The onward march continudS3at this hour, and the head of the column will:probably soon reach the ramunkey crossing the river at Hanovertown, not the Court douse, you-Will, observe.. To-day's work will, it is hoped, plant till" army on the direct road to Richmond, and fifteen - miles froth the long-de sired spot. But what the, military developments of the day may be, andhow they will affect the imme diate and ultimate upsliet at' things, it is impossible, and, would be vain, for Me to attempt to antiqipate. .. ............... - r - rcumNGON,'LAST TUESDAY. .

His WEVIT, • therefore,. insares a retreat, it'll be not already. accomplished. Hancock and Barnside.were not completely across until Tuesday everiing,'Und a vigorous artillerydnel took place on that day. Our losses on that part of the line'were not: at all commensurate with the amount of labor and ammunition expended by the rebels. Warren ant Wright are also in condition to give battle at a moment's notice. The gap be tween Warren and Hariebek, on this side of the river, was filled with rebel troops at dark on Tues day ; but whether they were. only a portion of some corps, left to dispute our crossing, or the main body of the army, was not definitely 'mown to any, un less it wore the commanding generals. A contraband, claiming to be the servant of Gene ral Lee's chief of artillery, deserted and came into ourlines on Tuesday morning, He-says, the rebels acknowledge our preponderance in men anclynetal, and have resolved.to make no obstinate resistance outside of entrenched poslllens. General Lee was to have established his ; headquarters at Hanover Court House yesterday. - - He represents the entire rebel army in full retreat to Richmond, and sayathe stand was made here solely to cover the withdrawal of their trains. The enemy made a more obstinate resistance in front of Hancock, on Tuesday evening, than was an lielpilted, and subjected us to a figiotiS artillery fire till dark from a few sections of - batteries.

Finding that the left could not be brogirm, Fits Hugh hurled his chivalry—dismounted, et courseupon the right. Steadily they came on, through obstruc tions, through slashing past abattis, without wavering. Here ono of the advantages of nbgro troops was made apparent. They obeyed _orders; and bided their time. When well:langlecU ifl. the abrade, the death warrant " Fire " went forth. Southern chivalry quailed before Northern balls, though fired by negro hands. Volley after volley was rained upon the superior by' the inferior race, and the chivalry broke and tried to run.

An interesting correspondence.in reference to the. Statue Of Liberty on the dome of the Capitol has just come to light here through the instrument.. ality of Mr. Rice, chairman of the Committee of Public Buildings and. Lands. Mr. Rice and other members of the committee were dissatisfied with the helmet which crowns the statue, and a let ter was addressed to Mr.iWaltcr, the architect of the Capitol extension, asking him. if it were pos sible to displace the helmet and. return to Mr. Craw ford's original design. Mr. Walter is opposed to any attempt at improvement now that the statue is fixed in its place and Mr. Crawford is dead. Resubmits a correspondence between Captain IVleig-s and Mr. Crawford and Jefferson Davis, which is extremley interesting. There are letters, however, which do not appear, and which- undoubtedly have been lost. thosei letters Mr. Davis objected to the liberty cap as part of the crest of the statue. In June, 1855, Mr. Crawford remitted his first design. Re, says "„I nave endeavored to represent Freedom: triumphant in peace and war ;• the wreath- on her head has a double signification and allusion to this, one.thalf of it being composed of wheat sprigs, the other half of laurel." In October of the same year Mr. Crawford modi fied his first design after having: seen Mr. Walter's plans for the architecture of the Capitol. In Mr. Crawford's letter to Captain. Meigs during this month occurs the subjoined singular passage: " It is quite possible that Mr. Jefferson. Davis may as upon a former occasion, object to the cap of Li berty and the fasces. I can only say in reply that the work is for the people, and they must be. ad dressed in the language they understand, andwhich has become unalterable for the masses. "The emblems I allude to can never be replaced by any invention of the artist all that can be done is to add to them, as I have done, by placing the circlet of stars around the cap of Libertyi it thus be comes more picturesque, and nothing of its general ly understood signification is lost. All arguments must reduce themselves into the question: - Will the people understand it 1 7 I, therefore, hope the Secretary will allow the ombloms to 'pass muster.' I have said the statue represented 'armed Liber ty.' She rests upon the shield of our country, the triumph of which is made apparent by the wreath held in the same hand which grasps , the shield; in her right hand she holds the sheathed sword, to shoW the fight is over for the present, but ready for use whenever required. The , stars upon her brow indicate her heavenly origin; her position upon the globe represents her protection of the American warld—the mstice of whose cause is made. apparent by the emblems supporting it." I subjoin Jefferson Davis , letter to Captain Melgs, entire _ "WAR. DEPARTMENT, , "WASILINGTON, lantutry 15, 1856. " Sin : The second photograph of the statue with which it is proposed to crown the dome of the. Capi tol impresses me most favorably. Its general grace anti power, striking at first view, has grown on me as I studied its details. "As to the cap, I can only say, without intending to press the objection formerly made, that it seems to me that its history renders it inappropriate to a people who wore born free, and 'would not be en slaved. - The language of art, like all living tongues, is subject to change ; thus the bundle of rods, if no longer employed to suggest the functions of the Ro man lictor,,mav lose the symbolic character derived therefrom,und be confined to the rough signification drawn from its other source; the fable teaching the instructive lesson that in union there 1* strength. But the liberty cap has' an established origin in its use as the badge of the freed: slave, and though it should have another emblematic meaning to-day, a recurrence to that origin may,glve to It in the future the Same . popular acceptation which it had la the past. "Why.should not armed Liberty wear a hohnetl Her conflict being over, her cause triumphant, as shoWn by the other (anthems of the statue_, the 'riser would be up, so as to permit, as in the photograph, the diSplay of a circle of stars, expressive of endless oxistonco and of hoayonly birth.

The "Miners' Journal , ' vs. The'"Ttroodi Mountain Mununoth Vein Coal- "Vititri=".. patty. , - To the Editor of The Press: Sin : Permit me to correct some remarks of the' . Miners' Journal (of Saturday), copied - in The Press - , of to-day, regarding, the Broad Mountain Mammoth. Vein Coal Company's advertisement, In which the • stockholders of this companyare promised to receive, every year, two heavy tons of coal; at cost, besides cash dividends from profits. The Journal censures this "project," because, it says, "the prospectus does not state where the lands are located in this county, the quantity held, etc." Now, the very name of the company designates the locality, viz : "Broad Mountain" and ".Mammoth Vein," two terms well known, in Schuylkill county. The Jour nal, moreover, errs in supposing that the "adver tisement" is the "prospectus" of the company, al though in the advertisement Itself it is stated that eirculzirs"—whieh the unbiased reader will under stand to mean the "prospectus"—may be had at the company's office. The Journal is further offended, because the advertisement "gives the present cost price of a heavy ton °Neal at 0.35," "when they state that the lands are not yet developed," etc. The circu lar-or " prospectus n of the company, which the Journal has not waited to see, states that the works for developing the lands are under progress of - con struction under the superintendence ofan old scien tific and aperienced miner and coal operator, Mr.* H. J. Ostermann, of Tremont, Schuylkill county, Pa., whose statement Is printed in full in said circu lar. Mr. Ostermann states that he has already opened the Mammoth Vein, on which he has located the slope, etc. ; that the coal is of excellent quality, and that, " we can mine, from this slope, at least 120,000 tons of coal every year, and from the other three veins, which belong to this operation— Black Heath, Primrose, and Daniel Veins—we can easily mine the same amount, or more." He states further,, that " our breaker will be large and strong enough to do the work for 150,000 to 200,000 tons of mining," etc ; and further, "-I calculate to send considerable coal to Phila delphia by the beginning of September, increasing the quantity in October, November, and December, after which we shall be able to ship ten thousand tons per month, and double that amount when we: shall have reached the other three veins," etc. ; and further, "the veins aro of the best to be found in the whole coal region ; you cannot speak too well of them. The people around here all know this, and will say the same." And finally, ." the cost of coal at present rates of labor, freight,royalty, and United States tax, I compute to be, prepared in the cars at the breaker, two dollars per heavy ton, transpor tation over branch railroad thirty-five cents, and transportation to - Philadelphia , over Reading Rail road, two dollars and ten cents." It is not likely that the Journal can essentially amend those state= ments. For the satisfaction of the Journal it may further be stated that the whole enterprise of this company is based on- a lease obtained from the Schuylkill and Dauphin Improvement and Rail road Company, securing, for twenty-five years, the exclusive mining, timber, and surface right on the north dip of all the veins in the very large tract— over 3,000 acres—of coal lands of that company, the precise location of- whose possessions -May be seen on Scott's new map of Schuylkill county. The Journal need not fear that the enterprise of this company will interfere with the coal trade. It would be a great benefit to the business and the public if all consumers were converted into pro ducers to the extent of their consumption of coal. This would greatly increase the producing capital, and, consequently, the development of the coal fields, the establishment of factories, &e., and, thereby, the wealth of the State and nation. The Journal itself states, immediately before its re marks on this company, that t 0 it is becoming more evident every day that the supply of coal cannot be in creased much beyond the supply of last year for the balance of the season, and consequently prices must continue to rule high." This proves that the prices will "rule high," not because the production is too dear, but because not enough is produced. This company, consisting of consumers, to a great ex tent, will mine enough for Its members to place them beyond the contingency of "high ruling prices." All the coal mined, however, not con sumed by members, will be sold_ at the " ruling prices," and the„,profits therefrom will constitute the " cash dividends"-for the stockholders. Respectfully, H. SCHMOELE, Treasurer, Broad Mountain Mammoth y ein Coal Co. FINANCIAL OM COMMERCIAL. The stock mai ket continued dull yesterday, with a tendency for lower prices in almost all descriptions of securities. Gold, however, advanced, opening in the morning at, ISSR, reaching as high as 194 la - , and closing down to 192 M. It is evident that the gold speculators do not accept as a certain Indication of success the recent cbange of base of the . ..trmy of the Potomac. The result, however, will no-doubt prove the groundlessness of their hopes, and vindicate the army before the country. The fluctuations in gold at the Gold Exchange were as follows: 934 A.
