Our neighbor of tlie Breckriiridgo Demo crat, hns made (he rcmarkttblo discovery that our soldlors have been awfully a'ander td, and volunteers Lis services to stand by them on tlivir return home, although he fuilud most signally to stand either by thorn or with thorn, in their absence. Our neigh bor sometimes presumes to philosophize, with all the gravity and wisdom of an owl, "even on political subjects. He has suddenly 'discovered that returned soldiers have a right to vote, and as ho expects to, be a can didate. Jilmsolf, thinks it would be politic to obtrude his praises upon tlicm in order to conciliate them for having opposed their right to vote while absent fighting for their country. Our neighbor says, that it hail been asserted that our soldiers, on their re turn, intended to tear down priutiug offices and commit other acts of violence, "which would be highly disgraceful," but as they dill ii'o such thing they have been greatly slandered. He ueglects, however, to say that the only persons iu this community. who feared violence from the returning sol diers, and who guarded their premises from imaginary nttacks by them, with revolvers, was himself and frivli. Only a few days before the return of our nine months volun teers, some of our neighbor's particular friends were anxious to know whether we had any know ledge that any threats of yio lence had been made by these soldiers against their establishment. Ve promptly stated we heard no such intimations, and we uresumed our neighbor was taking council from his fears more than from any know ledtre he possessed. We were also informed that if the soldiers committed any violence against our copperhead neighbor, our own establishment and that of the Gazette, would be destroyed by the people of Lower Augus ta. and that our residence would share the same fate. "Was ever a grosser slander ut- tered against any civilized community than this charge against these people ? "We trea ted the threat with the contempt it deserved Does our neighbor endorse this worse than slander of the democrats of Lower Augusta i FACTS CONCERNING THE DRAFT. As the enrollment .of the people of this Btate, as well as those in all the loyal coin monwealths for the purpose of creating new army for the common defence, is now in progress, the following facts connected therewith may prove valuable, they being careful compilation, in brief, of the act of Congress : "The rulei to govern the provost marshals making the draft iiro before us.

The enrollment will include all ablo bodied male citizens of the United States, between tho ages of twenty and forty-five years, not exempt from military service by law, and. all persons of foreign birth not so exempted who shall have de clared on oaih' thoir intention to become citizens.

Tho first claas is to be first drnwu from. The draft must take place at tho headquarters of the district, in a public manner, and under tho direc tion of the hoard of enrollment. Tho name of the person enrolled shall be placed in a box to be provi ded for tho purpoo, and the provost mar.duil. or some person designated by him (the drawer to bo blind folded.) shall draw one nanio at a time, until the required number is secured.

Maior-Gcneral Foster visited the camps. of tho nine months' ricn and made an eloquent speech to each regis nent. uencrai roster loia tnese soiiucrs mi could not pnrt with them ; that thly must nt leave him and our sacred cause at this stago of the rebellion ; that he would give them all tho advantages accompanying a re enlistment, inchuling a furlough of thirty davs to each regiment, and so arrange it that white ono regiment departed another should be ready to return, which proposition appeared to meet with goneral lavor. uen. Foster then called upon the nine mouths' men for a new artillery regiment, to consist of twelve companies of one hundred and fifty men each. This regiment was organi zed upon the spot, and the officers were ap pointed. Some ot tho regiments offered to furnish three companies for this new com mand, which will bo ready for sorvico in a short time. The desire of that portion of the 18tn Army Corps, now in South Carolina, to re turnhero under their old chief, where they tun have active service, is arousing the sym pathies of the whole Department in tlteir helm If. ISumerous letters aro continually reaching General Foster from tho officers and men now separated from him against tho express orders of tho President, contain ing appeals lor their return ol a most alien ing character, together with a general offer to re-enlist for the war if thci wishes are granted.. Hather than have any ill feeling existing between the two ucpannicnia. General Foster is willing to furnish General Hunter with two black regiments for each white regiment returned.

Stbvmbu Hartford, Mouth ok Hkd liivmt, May 12, 1803 Dkar Fathkk : You will see by the above that this good old righting vessel, t'uc flag ship of Admiral Fnrrugut, is still afloat, notwithstanding the numerous Rebel reports of her destruction and capture, and that we still maintain our position at the mouth of lied Kiver. in defiance of their threats. The Lnion feeling is strong up Keel river, and I learn that General liauks has already recruited two regiments of Louisianiana. Seven refugees, armed with shot guns and long knives, who have been living in the swamps for six months to escape conscription came on board the Hartford about a week since, and were yesterday sent up Red Kiver again, as they expressed a desire to go up and loin the Lmon men who have already had some fighting with the Rebels, and, now that succor is at hand, have come out boldly for the btars and Stripes. Men who, for weary months have been living like wild beasts, in swamps and dense thickets, to escape the halter, have now came out pf. their hiding places and joined the Union ranks. Most of the refugees own property, and some of them arc men of in telligence, but their mud-stained garments and unshorn locks testify what they have undergone to resist a power that they did not recognize, and the eagerness with which thev one and all jumped at the chance of fighting under the old Hag, repudiated the idea that cowardice kept them there from joining the Rebels. One of them ejaculated after taking the oath of allegiance, "I have been waiting two years for this moment thank Uoil it has come at last !

He was shot in the back of the head, while writin at his table. There had been a frieiidlv con vcrsation between the parties scarcely fif teen minutes belore the untortunate occur rence. "General Van Porn had never seen the daughter of his murderer but once, and his acquaintance with Mrs. Peters was such as to convince his staff officers, who had every opportunity of knowing, that there wan no improper intimacy between them. They were led to believe that there were, other motives from the fact that Dr. Peters had taken the oath of allcgiamfe to the United States Government while in Xashvile about two weeks ago.

The steamer Sheldrake, from Havana on the 20th ult, arrived this afternoon. There is nothing new from Havana. It is reported at Havana that tho yellow fever has broken out amoug the French iu Mexico. An extra of the Havana I)ii;t'i of the 20th, received per the steamer Sheldrake reports the arrival at Havana of the French steamer Daricn, from Vera Cruz, with im portant dispatches from General Forey, announcing the occupation ol Puebla by the forces under his command. Tlie prisoners include Gen. Ortega and twenty-threo other generals, nine hundred minor officers and seventeen hundred men. It appears that on the 10th Gen. Forey opened with heavy artillery on Fort To himeuipuacan and on the 17th a breach was ellected. m ' The French troops then noved ou an assault and after a desperate resistance cutered the plaza, when Ortega surrendered unconditionally. On the Stitli one division of tho French army started for the city of Mexico. " ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Nr.w Yoke, June 1. Thn following are additional particulars of tho news from Mexico : Ou the 8th instant. General Comonfort. who had received reinforcement?, tried to attack th French forces in the rear. Oenw.I Ha7atntesdiviMou opposed him, and defeat ed him completely. Tho battle took place near San Lorenzo, Comonfort losing 2,500 men in killed wounded, and prisoners, seven or tight rilled cannon, and tho greater part of his equipments, and inuuitiont of war. It appears thut Comouf.rt'a attack had for its object to favor the entrance into Puebla of a large couvov of provisions and ammunition. General Forey had received in time a part of the heavy artillery he expected, and posted it opposite to the Ions t.f Tolimchuacan, one of tho moat dreaded fortifications in Puebla. On Ilia tame day tho artillery lxgan to (Ire, and by the 17th a breach had been mad. Forey llu u commanded an h-xhiiIi to It madit, but the reiance immediately ceased.

Within that time there have been daily battles and continual cannonade. At least two thousand of our soldiers have been placed horn de eomhtt, killed and wounded in the several charges ordered against tho earthworks. It was rumored yesterday tha t this morn ing Gen. Grant would order a charge simul taneously along the entire lino of works. late in, the evening the commanders of tho different corps, divisions and brigades re ceived their orders anil prepared to execute thnm. Thn order contemplated a tierce cannonade from daylight until ten o'clock, but for some some nnexplaincd reason i was not opened until after eight. During the night, however, the gun-boats and mortars lying in front of Vickslntrg kept up continual tiro, and dropped tticir nery messengers right aud lett without uistinc tion. During this bombardment several build ings wctl set on lire by the exploding shells and lighted up tho darkness, revealing strange shapes and wonderful outlines stand nig out m relict against the dark sky, w inch added wonderful interest to the bombard ment as witnessed by the distant observer. It is impossible to estimate the damage oc casioned by thus dropping into Vicksburg these 11 and lll-mcli shells, imagination falls far short of its reality. Refore we approached tho city the Gene ral Commanding ordered all the women and children for miles around Vicksburg to come within tho intrenchnient, assuring them that in that way they would escape all dan ger. Tho consequence is that there are a largo number ul non-combatants in vicks burg, exposed to all tho dangers of siege and bombardment. t eight o'clock this morning, according to programme, the cannonading began, and continued with scarcely a moment's inter mission, along the entire line, until ten o'clock. From every hill top in front of the enemy's works cannon were placed, and the tierce'tempest raged fearfully. Guns were dismounted, embrasures torn up, parapets destroyed, and caissons exploded. It was a tcarlul demonstration. l he enemy were powerless to reply; for our line of skirmish ers were pushed up close to the enemy's works, and unerringly picked olt the gun tiers wherever they attempted to work the Suns- For two long hours did this cannonade continue, when on the left, in Smith Carr'a aud Ostcrhaus' division, a charge was made. Winding through the valleys, clambering over the hills, everywhere subjected to murderous, enfilading and cross tire, they pressed up close to the Rebel works to liud that a deep ditch, protected by sharp stakes along tlie outer t-ilgc, Jay between them and the liitrenchnieuts. Thev planted their llag directly before tho foit. and" crouch ed down behind the embankment, out of range of the Rebel lire, as calmly as possible, to await developments. Tho soldiers with in thelort could not raise above the parapet to fire at them, for it' they did a hundred bullets came whizzing through the air, and the adventurers died. They adopted another plan. Taking a shell, they cut the fuse close oil", lighted it aud rolled it over the outer slope of the em bankment. Subsequently, with picks and shovels, a way was dug into one fort, and through the breach the boys walked bravely in. The first fort, on tile left of the railroad, was stormed by a portion of Gen. Carr'a Division and gallantly taken. Colonel Stone, of tiie Twenty-second Iowa, led the charge and was wounded. On the centre the fire was persistent and terrible. Many brave ollicVrs were killed and many wounded. Col. Dollins, of the Eigty-lirst Illinois, fell dead while leading his men to the charge. Later in the afternoon. Gen Ransom's Rri gade charged tho works opposite his posi tion with heavy loss. Lieutenaiit-Colonel Wright, of the Scvcnty-r-'coiid Illinois, was wounded, and Colonel Nevins, of . tho Elev enth Illinois, and Colonel Humphrey, of thu Ninety-fifth, wire killed.

Our men lay in a ditch and on the slope of the parapet, inside of one of tho Iirincipat forts, unnblo to take it by storm, ut determined not to retire. Thi Federal and Rebel soldiers are not twenty -five feet apart, but both are power less to inflict much harm. Each watches tho other, and dozens of muskets are tired as soon as a soldier exposes himslf above the works on cither side. Nearly the same condition of things ex ists in Mcpherson's front, and his Sharp shooters prevent the working of the enemy's pieces in one or two forts. A charge wai made yesterday (Friday) morning on one of them by Stephenson's Rrigade, but was repulsed. Two companies of one brigade got inside, but most of them were captured. The forts arc all filled with infantry. Our artillery has dismounted n few guns and damaged the works in some places, but they are still strong. Gen. McClernand was hard pressed on thu lelt yesterday, and sent for reinforcements. Gen. Quimby's Division went to his assis tance at four o'clock. Tho contest coatinued till one of our Hags was planted at tho foot of the earthworks on the oStfide of a rebel fort, and kept there for several hours, but tho fort was not taken. McClernand's loss is estimated at one thousand, killed and wounded, jesterday. Tho fighting grows more desperate each day. . The transports are now bringing sup plies to within three miles of our right. General Joe Johnston is reported to be near the Rig Rlack River, in our rear, with reinforcements for the besieged army. Gen. Grant can detail men enough for the opera tions here, to keep Johnston in check. i'ko.u .i:v oki.i:.v!S. PORT HUD- New York, June 2.

The "Commercial' has full particulars of the operations of Gen. Grunt, army up to tho 22d ult. When our army advanced on Vicksburg it was confi dent of an easy conquest ; but the ground in the rear of the cily was found so broken and rugged as to be almost impassable by artillery, and the Rebel fortification were very formidable, being grass grown, Ac, showing that prcparatious had long since been made to stand a tiege upon the land side. The main fortifications consist of a chain of fort, about eight hundred yards apart, connected by deep iiitrencliiueiits, and extending seven miles. Our loss in the as sault on tho 2d was about two thousand. It was the opinion that another general as sault would not be ordered, but the cily to be taken by regular siege approaches. The Gazette publishes ud vices up to the 27th, received through a stall' officer of one of Grunt's Generals, who left for Washing ton last evening. Three assaults had been made by our forces, iu all of which we were repulsed. In the last assault made bv Gen. Sherman, with 20,000 men, we lost 000 kill ed and a large number wounded. Our outer Hue is within a bundled yards of the Rebel works, and our sharp-shooters prevent the Rebels from w orking their guns. Tho rebel works in the rear of the city are far more formidable than those iu front. Johnston is in the neighborhood ol Juckaou with about 1.1,000 men. lie is short of provisions and ammunition.

New Orleans advices stato that rumors reached there from Pascwgoula on the 25th. that Mobile had been attacked, and one rebel stated that a telegram was received at Pas cagoula, from Mobile, that Folt Morgan had gone under. Some of the rebels said to our ollicers, "there is glorious news for you, but we dare not tell what it is." A letter of the 22d, states that our army reached the precinct of Port Hudson, and that an attack is in progress. Gen.

Jefferton Darin, Richmond, Va : The United Stutes flag must protect all its defenders, whito, black, or yellow. Several negroes in the employ ot the Government in tho Western Department have been cruel ly murdert'd by your authorities, and others sold into slavery. Every outrage ot tin? kind against thu laws of humanity which may take place in this Department, shall be followed by the immediate, execution of tho rebel ot highest rank in my possession Man for man, these executions will certainly take place, for every one murdered, or sold into a slavery worse than death. On your authorities will rest the responsibility of this barbnnous policy, and you will be held re sponsible in this world and the world to coma tor all the blood thus shed. In the month of August last you declared all those engaged in arming the negroes to fight for their country to be felons, and di rected the immediate execution of all such as should be captured. I have given you long enough to reflect on your lollv. 1 now give you notice that unless this order is im mediately revoked, 1 will at once cnuso the execution of every rebel officer and every rebel slaveholder in my possession. The poor negro is fighting for liberty in its truest sense; and -Mr. Jellerson has beautnully said : "In such a war there is no attribute of tho Almighty which will induce him to fight on the side of the oppressor." You say you are fighting for liberty. Yes, you are lighting for liberty liberty to keep tour millions of your human beings in ignorance nnd degradation ; liberty to sepa rate parents and children, husband and wife brother and sister ; liberty to steal the pro ducts of their labor, exacted with many a cruel lash and bitter tear ; liberty to seduce their wives and daughters, and to sell your ow n children into bondage ; liberty to kill these children with impunity, when the murder cannot bo proven by one of puro white blood.

It is stated that an expedition has been sent into the interior of Florida. A Rritish blockade-runner, while trying to get out of Charleston harbor, was discov ered on the night of the 20th, and sunk be fore she could gain the bar. The crew arc supposed to havo perished. She was a largo steamship. On the 23d. a steamer was discovered and tired into. She recrosscd the bar under a heavy lire. She. was sunk in the main i perfect channel on Morris Island.

We learn thatotlicial information has been received of the arrival at Fort Abercrombie, on tho 19th ult., of Joseph Demerit's, a son of thp interpreter now at that post. He came from St. Joseph, by the way of Devil's Lake, leaving tho lake on the 9th ult., where he reports' there were encamped about (500 teepees of' Indians, or about 1800 Warriora, with Little Crow at their head. They are encamped on the prairie near tho timber, and near a peninsula Hint runs down into tho lake on tho north side, in the vicin ity of Rurnt Island, which is tho pllicS of rendezvous of the hostile Sioux. Ho states that Little Crow's band aro well supplied with ammunition, and that the others have none. Little Crow nnd his sol diors havo been assiduously engaged in cir dilating tho report that all thoso who gave themselves up last fall were killed by the whites, and by tins menus is trying to in duce them to engage iu a war against tho whites. Standing Buffalo has gone on amission to Governor Dallas, to see if he would allow him to como under his protection, as he don't want to be engaged against the whites and is teartul that lie may bo. made to suitor with the rest. A large portion of the Indians i re anxious lor peace, but aro fearful if they givo them selves up they will be killed, and are, there fore, waiting the return of Standing Buffalo before deciding. Little Crow and his band seem determined to carry ou tho war to the bitter end. Some of the Indians concerned in the raid on the Wantonwan, lvid arrived at Devil's Lake with some of the stolen horses. The raid was made by six of Little Crow's band from the Missouri River, who were joined at the mouth of Chippewa River by some of Rattling Moccasin's band. Thev report that they killed some citizens, but do not know that they killed any soldiers. Mr. Demerit's states that Little Crow had been engaged in a tight with Rtes, and was defeated they refused to join him. Hehad eight killed and several wounded. Mr. Memories also reports that Rattling Meccnsin, with about forty lodges, or seventy warriors, is encamped on the Shayenne river near Dog's Hell, about seventy miles from Abercrombie, but that he is Boon going to join the rest at Devil's Lake. flia CmttKTOfHiin Wrbk's Tdaks.

The enemy crossed the Arkansas river near Fort Gibson. Col. Philips droy,e them back. Our loss was U0 killed, anil tho enemy's much greater. The enemy was led by Uenerals Steele, Cooper and Mcintosh. They are now massed in our front, claiming to have 11,000 men. and considerable artillery. We havo only tf.OOO, and ono battery, but are well fortified. This is evidently the advance of Price's main army. Dispatches from Port Lamed bring information of the approach from the southwest, of a large rebel forte of Texans and Indians, with the design to intercept the trains en route to Xew Mexico.

Tho New Orleans Era of tho 87th coutnins the following : General Ranks moved down the Red river with his army and crossed to Rayou Sara, and thence to Port Hudson, where he united his forces with those of (ten. Augur. The gunboats under Karragut were to tuovn nn thf 2'lth. The mortar licet opened on Port Hudson ! is the ou thu night ot tho . Itli, ulcucing several ot the enemy's guns. Port Hudson is now therefore c'osely be sieged and hemmed in, and the fall of this stronghold will be speedy, even should General Rank, not order an assault on the works. Colonel Grierson is co-operating with Gen. Ranks. A reported rebel iron-clad ruid from Mo bile aud the capture of two of our ships of war proves to lo a canard. Tho garrison at Port Hudson is estimated at 10, ono men. They aro scantily supplied with provision. Tiie New Orleans Era of the l!8th, says, we ham from an authentic aourco that our army before port Hudson is in a satisfactory position, aud ever) thing promise fair for an important and successful close of the cam paign ugaiuat that rcln-l atohghold.

More than one-half tho time during the fight we were not more than oO yards from the muzzles of 30 gnus, aud some of the.-e guns 100-pounder Parrotts, a gun which throws projectiles with greater force than any gun now in use. Rut all would not do. They coultl not penetrate the iron sides of tho Tuscmubin, It is believed here that we were under a heavieV tiro than ever was known before not excepting the Keokuk at Charleston. Wc received more shots than all the other vessels combined. Rut her plating proved perfectly invulnerable against ull efforts to penetrate it. There was one great blunder committed in building the Tuscumbia, and that is in the location of her magazine. To give you an idea of this, 1 will just say that in action the hatches of the magazine are necessarily left open. When the shell exploded in hor turret, the lire from it burnt the boy very badly in tho luce who was stationed in the door of the magazine to pass powder up. This will be altered beforo the vessel is pro nounced fit for action again. You must not think that the Tuscumbia is disabled beyond repair. She will soon be able to go off again ; her engines are rssy.ly now. All she wants is to raise her wheels and weld her w hoel-chaius, and that ii a short job. I thiuk you will hear a good account of her yet. Ye took 4U0 prisoners ; and I think from what one of them said when he saw tho Tuscumbia, that we gave them aa good as they sent. Said ho, 'There .! il square box that kivc us li 1, and she docs uot look as if she was hurt." Since the light we huvo buried three men, who died from tho wounds received making in all, eight killed.
