THE REBEL PRESS.
A View of the Campaign.
Mona the Iliehmond Examiner, July 16.1
The progress and present stage of the mighty
Federal campaign of 1864, begins to be ludicrous,
Disinterested spectators far off must be deriving
amusement from it, though probably thinking the
- farce has been played long enough, and that a Joke
is a joke. We Confederates can scarcely—absurd as
the perfbrrnanee is—find It In our hearts to laugh;
and our enemies are even very much less in a merry
mood. Yet there. is a certain grim humor, a sort of
horrible buffoonery - in the affair. Think of It—
nearly three months ago, after the mightiest prepa
rations by land and sea, two immense armies moved
against Richmond in two directions, while another
great force careered up the valley of Virginia—all
to unite In and around Richmond, and there and then
ant the throat of the "rebellion." And now the
irresistible, inevitable 11. S. Grant, who was to
achieve that mighty work, sends word to his mas
ters in Washington that If they can repulse the
rebels (a Confederate army which is said to be
threatening the Federal Capital), ho (Grant) "eau
attend to Richmond!" Why, he has been attending
to Richmond for many weeks ' paying It the most de
voted, though respectful anddlstant attentions ; but
what comfort Is this to Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward,
as they "ride to the front,” or at least towards the
front, listening to Confederate shells bursting in the
suburbs of Washington, while they have a fast. yes
eel In the Potomac, with steam up, in their rear
Grant can attend to RiehMend 1 What kind of
security is that to the bankers' of 'Washington, who

another ship of the Potomac Beet 1 Grant may be
nHying his attentions to Richmond, which, indeed,
oes not relish his attentions at all, but keeps him
at strm's length; while Washington, his peculiar

derest ties, is exposed.at home to the Insolent over

This Federal war to conquer the Confederacy hag'
already furnished rich material to satirists and
caricaturists In amusing pictorials of Europe, to the
Charivorr and Mr. Punch, and the German Kladdera
datech. Not Louis XV. himself, "prosecuting his
conquests In Flanders," was even so mocked by
an irreverent world as these sirecesslve grand
armies of the Yankee nation, who are always
going to make a clean sweep of the South this
time, and their long series or invincible generals,
each of whom Is, for a moment, the coining man,
and the next moment the going one. Pope, who had
neon only the rebel's back, losing the coat from his

Then the "grand raids," always destined to cutoff
Richmond, and chop up the Confederacy into two or
four pieces!, which usually come to a bad end, but
which are always found to have—whatovor else,they

well for our Coxifederare people that they do not
often get a sight of Frank Leslie- or Harper's Weekly;
the sight of themselves in thosebroad wood sag rav

the innumerable hosts of handsome gentlemen, on
thoroughbred chargers, would almost conquer us

ourselves that we, thus ragged and all forlorn, pre
tend to resist so Il lustrious, or at least so illustrated
an army and pillion. One day, this whole history,
rightly told, will make the universe hold its aides.
Poor Louis Quintet was nothing to it ; who " was

WRY JOHNSTON DOES NOT FIGHT.
(Prom I he Favannah Republican.
•
I have noticed amongst the various correspondents
of the press a considerable amount of perplexityih
accounting for the failure of General Johnstonto
give battle at Case Station, after his famous battle
order of the 18th of May. I have seen, amongst
other accounts, that of the army corresp ondent of
the Augusta Constitutionalist, positively asserting
that General Johnston had received imperative or
ders from the , . War Department at Richmond, for
bidding him to risk any general engagement until
reinforcements might be sent to him from the Army.
of Virginia. The true reason for the retreat of the
army from Outs Station, after Johturton's battle •
order had been read to his troopn, was a failure
upon the part of his corps commanders to comply
with Johnston's plan of battle.
General Johnston having determined upon his
line of battle, notified his troops that he was now
ready, and 'about to lead them to victory. Every
least pulsated with patriotic fervor in response to
the call of the tried and trusted chieftain. Joe
Johnston bad deliberately ohosen his' time and his
position—the word had been given, and the deed
must be done. Accordingly, General Johnston or
dered his corps commanders to advance their COM..
mandg and occupy certain designated positions.
All was progressing admirably for the happy con-
Summation of thhi splendid conception, when a
Staff officer, charging up to one of Jonston's distin
guished lieutenant generals, made the startling an
nOuncement that the enemy were on his Hank In
large and threatening numbers.
Placing implicit confidence in the announcement
of a staff officer, the. lieutenant general, fearing to
move, failed to comply with the orders of hill com
manding general. In the meanwhile the advancing
column of the enemy gained the position and John
ston's plan was thus frustrated. Therewas no al
ternative now left him but to fight the enemy at a -
disadyantage, or to retreat to a safe position. To :
have rushed madly into the former, General' Jolla
twon is a man of too much deliberation and even tent- '
pared wisdom—to have feared to p u bic latter, all
the anathemas of an ignorant could not
Prevail.

A HISTORIC Bara.,—The oldest bell in America
Is In the little Catholic chapel in the village of St.
Regis, on the St. Lawrence river. The bell In that
church ,(says the Norwich Aurora) was taketrifrom
Deerfield, at the time of the French and Indian in
vasion of that place in 1704, and, it is said, ,was aus-'
pended on a pole and carried on the shoulders of the
Indians to the place where Itenow hangs. -It was
originally purchased in France by the ()numb of St.
Regis, and the vessel In which It was being taken to
Quebec, was captured bran English cruiser and
taken into the port of Salem. The bell, as a part of
the cargo, was sold, and bought by the church In
Deerfield. The invaders of Deerfield were front St.
Regis, and took special pride in recapturing and re;
turning the bell.

.about to present him with a copy of the Rely Bible,
which is a masterpiece of art and taste. It is the
Imperial quarto of the American Bible Society,
bound in purple velvet, with heavy gold mountings,
apprepriately engraved, and enclosed in a walnut
case lined with white silk. The total cost of this
elegant gift Is 10580.76.
EXTRAORDINARY Trunßia.—A. Detroit paper says:
"A lot of choice timber such as we sometimes read
of,' but seldom see, has'been lying at the Michigan
Central dock, Detroit, awaiting shipment. It is
principally black walnut, and was ont fn the vicinity
of Doweglao. One of the sticks Is 87 inches square,
and a number of others are very nearly equal in
size. Owing to the formidable size of the trees,
wood-choppers long hesitated about 'froth In,' but
finally, under the temptation, we suppose, of the
high price of gold,' the monarchs of the forest were
laid low." • •

Ten Bars Amossp-, the Freedmen.
To the Editorof The Press:
Sin: Passing along through one of the barracks
on Mason's Island, my attention was arrested by a
man in advanced middle life, who appeared to be
blind. I stepped in between the bunks (the passage
Is very narrow), and accosted him with a friendly
greeting. Ho was totally blind; no ray of ' light
could possibly penetrate those pinched and tightly
drawn Mts. - I found Minato be sensible and commu
nicative. To the inquiry of how he, so utterly blind,
could make his way from slavery to freedom, he an
swered, "The soldiers were very kind to the blind
man ; they helped me, missile or I never could have
got away." He had only arrived a few days before,
and was suffering some from the journey, as do most
of those who come into our lines. lie told me that
his enter and himself came to_gether ; that his wife
bad gone some time before to Fortress Monroe, and
was doing very well there; that he had tried very
bard toc i stihere himser, but could not accomplish
it, andeas ed me to use my influence to get him
sent there. asked his name and where he will from,
and obtained as answer the following narrative,
which I trust will be so made public that those for •
whom it Is more particularly written may have the
opportunity of seeing It and using their influeneein
behalf of this loyal colored reibgee:
His name is Milton Carey, and he was, preilotta
to his escape, hostler for Dr. Price of Richmond. .
Owing to hisblindness no thoUght was entertained
of his escaping. Re had his comfortable house, and
was in great favor with his master. One night he
heard-some one approaching, and soon found it was
an escaped Union officer from -Libby prison. He
directed the officer to a place of concealment, and
promised to come for him and bring him to. his own
house. After making all arrangements that the
perilous undertaking•reqnired he took him to his --
cabin. "It would.have made you sorry, missile, 'to
see how thin and feeble he was ; we was all mighty
sorry for him, and determined to do all we could to
• help him," said the old man. It was positively no
eessary that he should be kept concealed. Re was
then taken -up the little stairs and placed on a
clean, comfortable bed, and Milton and his sister
watched him and attended to him until they had
the happiness et seeing him gain health and
strength sufficient to start on his homeward
ne. T e cain for it ap ohn
jWour
soy was h destit pa e, so the col o re d d a to n l J p th a i t
money - together, some giving 60 cents, , and some $l,
until they made up enough to buy two pounds of
sugar, at twelve dollars a pound, and one rannd of
coffee at twenty.ilv,e dollars a pound, Confederate
money. ThlB, with what they had from their own
tables, was freely bestowed upon the Captain and
most gratefully received. " Many times, , , , said'
Milton, " the 'Federates would be sitting around
below, while the Captain was looking down on them
from the little window in the room he occupied.
" He 19118 a mighty nice
he ngentlema, and 'peered
when. he began to get better that was unwilling
to stay with us any longer. 'Be was so quiet, and so
little trouble, we liked him. Some of the others
were restless and would not stay in one room, but
die here captain always stayed In his nein, and was
Minn' to do what we said was • for de best. Bat
when be had been there about ten days ho tole me
he mus' go, he could not may and be dependent on
us any longer. We tried to get him to stay, but he
would not; so we 'greed emong ourselves to snake up
some money for him. We started among the men,
and dey put down one dollar apiece ; den we went
to de women—what does day do but puts' down two
dollars apinie; 'den says de captain, 'do women
have beat you ;' so' what does we do but pate doWn
another dollar apiece, so we made up enough money
to carry the captain through till he reached the
Union lines. We conducted him as far as de 'Murk
ky, and doro we left him. When' he went avra# he
gave me a paper, and said whenever any other
'Union officer came along I should give it to hint;
and said he : , Mitten, if ever you get away from
here, and let my father know it .he will take mire of
you the rest or your life for thhs act of kindness
to me.' He said his father lived in Ohio, or in Hen
tuoky,. I forget which." Shortly after two more
of the escaped officers found out our friend,'
and when they were brought tg his cabin,
and. he had given them the paper which
Captain W. left, they were very much pleased' to
know that he had made his escape so successfully.
These also were entertained by him and his sister.
I conversed with his, sister, who is a smart, active
woman, and would be a treasure, I think, to any one
in search of a faithful servant.
1 told Milton that whate'ver I could do for him,
should be done without delay. I spoke to the su
perintendent about him, but found it impossible to
get him sent to Fortress Monroe. This narrative
may meet the eye of some one who has the power to'
aid him. He Is in very uncomfortable quarters at .
Mason's Island, and considering what hostuts done. '
for our 'helpless h a sn their estremest need, it
seems tome that he earned a better homo for
himself than the barracks of Mason's Island, where
men '
women, and children are crowded together,
with
no regard to comfort or decency. In saying
this I do not want to disparage the Government.
This island is only intended for a temporary home
for the newly-arrived freedmen, and cannot be ex
pected to have comforts such as more permanent
locations boast. • . .
I offered Milton some of the preparations that. I
was having distributed to the sick, which he gladly
accepted. "Is there anything I can do," said I, at
parting, "for your present comfortl" "I don't
know as you can Said he ; "only ' misses, if I had
a little tobaccy, I 'd be mighty glad, 'cause I has no
money, and it 'pears a little tobacoy would be as
good as medioine to me." I told him I never bought
such a thing, or countenanced the use of , it, but for
the sake of all'he had done for the Union soldiers,
he'should have some. Le T. R.

To His Honor Mayor Henry: -•
DEAR SIR: The Rev. J: 0. Nevin, a native of
Western Pennsylvania, and a missionary tor some*
years past from the United Presbyterian Church in
this country to Banton, China, has seat me as cor
responding secretary of the Board of Foreign Mis
sions of this Church,
the accompanying parcel,
which I beg leave to hand to you. In reference to
it be says to me, under date, Canton, February 26,
1864 :
"I wish you to present from me the accompany
ing 'Minden block to the archives of the old state
House, Philadelphia.
"The word Minden' is the name of the prison
ship on which Francis Hey composed the Star-
Spangled Banner on the 12th of September, 1814.
She was so'd here in 1862 to the Chinese, who broke
her up for the wood, iron, and copper. The &mete
eanrin Canton have sought pieces of the old Eng
lish Oak as mementoes of the occasion referred to.
"The design of the block was made by myself and
cat by a Chthanian. You will observe on one side
the flag with the fifteen stripe 3 and fifteen stars of
that period, aim), the beginning and the ending of
(0, say. does the,' Sao., ' bravo .' The date of the
battle is given, and the character of tho'Minden'
in 1814 is represented by a pair of manacles and
obains—a prison ship. •
"On the other side is the Canton date, and the cha
racter of the ship represented by a broken cannon
and anchor, shoe ing that she is not only disabled
but destroyed for fighting and sailing. •
"On one end of the block you will observe some
Chinese characters describing the engraver's name
and place of business.". •
I transmit this parcel to you in hope that you will
be best able to carry oat the wish of my friend and
brother, the Rev. Mr. Neviri.
With sentiments of great respect, ike" •

TIER CHRISTIAN COMMISSION COOREKG •
• WAGON.
We were shown yesterday a novel and extremely
useful and ingenious apparatus, the property of the
U. S. Christian Commission. .It is styled a " cook
ing wagon," and was made by J. Bunton, the in
ventor, who obtained a patent. March 21,1883. The
running gear resembles, somewhat that of an ordi
nary four-wheel wagon. Upon the front wheel rests
a box containing two chests to bold the provisions,
such as tea, coffee, etc. In front of this is the dri
ver's seat. ilpon the hind wheels rests the cooking
apparatus, which consists; of "three boilers, for making
tea, coffee, and seep, each boiler holding fourteen
gallons, and capable while on the move, with
fuel, of boiling ten gallons each every totentY-iiii
flutes, and,.widle stationary, twelve gallons in the
same time. (twenty minutes); which would 'be from
90 to 108 gall One pert, hour. The frent, or .provision
chest, is fitted with Japanned cans, for holding re
spectively 100 pounds sugar '3O unds coffee, 12
pounds tea, 20 pounds corn 'starc po h, and 80 .pounds
extract of, beg. 'Accompanying, also, are two tin
pails or buckets for carrying water, soup. etc., to
any portion of the Bold; two gridirons, for toasting
bread or broiling meat and an axe with which to
out wood for the fires. Under the entire machine is
a box in which the fuel is carried. The boilers in
which tea or coffee is made contain a perforated
strainer on top; into which the tea or %Om 18 put,
- and which prevents it from being drawn off with the
liquid. It is said that enough food can be cooked on
the machine to feed four hundred men at once.
• COLLISION—GIRL BUN OVER.
At noon. yesterday, considerable excitement pre
vailed on North Thirteenth street,. owing to a spi
rited horse, attached to a carriage, dashing wildly
along that thoroughfare. •On approaching Girard
avenue the Carriage came m y
contact with a " ve
getable', wagon, in which a oung girl was seated:
she was thrown out, and the wheel of her own
wagon passed over one of ber arms, shockingly
bruising the limb, but we believe not fracturing the
bone. The carriage , was capsized and utterly de
molished. The wagon was damaged to some extent.
The unfortunate girl was promptly attended to by
a neighboring druggist.
