In our issue before the last we stated that we thought we would be able to supply back numbers from that date, but owing to the great and constant increase of our Weekly list of subscribers, each succeeding week going beyond our calculations, we find our edi tion soon exhausted, our surplus copies all sent off, and a large portion of new subscribers unsupplied. We make this statement that those subscribing, who generally desire back numbers, may know the reason they fail to get them. Persons who desire to keep posted up in the exciting events which .are now trans piring should not delay, but send in subscrip tions without delay, otherwise they may miss the very paper they most desire.

Address, THOS. GILBERT & CO. Columbus, Ga. •— Gov. Brown, His Excellency Gov. Brown returned to the seat of government within the last few days, in greatly improved health, after an absence of two months, or there about, says the Millcdgeville Recorder. General Toombs. Tho Times learns from parties just from Richmond, that Gen. Toombs has resigned his command with tho view of retiring from the army. In all probability this will not be a very serious loss in our army. The Gen eral can now have ample time to see after his cotton crop. The Mobile Tribune learns that on the 17th inst., the Yankees sent a gunboat up to Pascagoula to shell the town, and also sent several small boats up the Pas* cagoula River loaded with about 125 men. These wore attacked by a company of Confederates, and driven back with a loss of twelve or fifteen killed. Ilaileck. It is reported by some of the Northern papers that Ilalleck is to be made Secre tary of War, by others that ho is placed in ohief command of the Federal army, and by others still, that he is to be dis missed for lying. The Yankee papers appear to bo in a steiv about it. Col. Cantey. We learn that this gallant and compe tent officer has been reeommended for promotion to a Brigadier Generalship by a number of the most distinguished high er officers in the service. He is, howev er, in feeble health art present, and may have to withdraw from camp for a brief period to recruit.— Enq. Foreign Aid. The Richmond Dispatch says a gentle man who rode over the battlefield near Gen. Magruder’s headquarters, on tho 18th of July, informs us that ho counted in the field, prior to reaching the woods, 237 dead Yankees, and there was but one of the number that was not born in Europe. The only native Yankee was Col. Woodbury, of a Michigan regiment, who fell shot through the head. An at*, tempt had been made to carry off the body, but the pursuit on our part bes coming too hot, the custodians of the body dropped it and fled. Woodbury was a lawyer, and a man of considerable note in his section prior to the war. The Richmond Examiner announces on the authority of farmers from the upper country, that the wheat crop of that portion of Virginia is the heaviest harvested in many years. It was in no case affected by the rust, on account of which so much apprehension was felt. — The oat and grass crops are also very heavy, and the corn is of fine promise. This news is of vast importance just now. T lie 3il Georgia Battalion —Tlie Lula Guards. The Enqnirer learns by a private let ter from Bean’s Station Tenn., that on tho 17th inst., this battalion—which in cludes tho “Lula Guards,” Capt. Phelps, of this city—wore ordered to Blain’s Cross Roads, about 25 miles distant from Bean’s Station. A part of Captain Yer ger’s Artillery also went with them. At last accounts they were expecting a brush from the enemy. Geo. L. Wright, of the Lula Guards, had been transferred, at his own solici tation, to the Eufaula Light Artillery, instead of tho Terrell Artillery, as re ported a few days since. General Crittenden. The Atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer, of ! July 23d, says that the Gen. Tom. Crit tenden, who was captured by Gen. For rest, at Murfreesboro’, is >not Gen. Crit tenden, of Kentucky, but is from Indi ana, and is a relative of John Crittenden, of Kentucky.— Aug. Constitutionalist. This may be correct, but our informa tion is that Gen. Tom. Crittenden is a son of Hon. J. J. Crittenden, and half brother of Maj. Gen. George B. Critten den of Mill Spring notoriety. His place of residences in Indiana. —[Eds. Sun. Con tide nee in Confederate Bondi* In the darkest hours of our struggle for Southern independence, there has been no indication of despondency on the part of the loyal citizens of Maryland. Under all circumstances they have main tained their devotion to the interests of the South, and illustrated their confi dence in our ultimate success in the most j unmistakable manner. A few days ago a gentleman arrived in this city from [ Baltimore with $75,000 in Maryland ‘ funds, which he brought over to invest | in Confederate bonds. We have heard | of other instances where smaller amounts have been similarly invested. This is one of the truest indications of the senti ment of the people, as well as the confi dence they feel of final recognition and independence of the Confederacy.—Ms patch. ■ §► The Enemy’s Movements. A part of the enemy’s cavalry, on Mon day last, made a visit to New Kent Court-House, twenty-eight miles below Richmond. The object was probably to reconnoitre the country, as we have not learned that they committed any further, depredations upon a people whom they had previously robbed of a vast amount of property. While McClellan continues his preparations on James river for another advance towards Richmond, his cavalry will scour the Peninsula iu the direction of Williamsburg for informs- : tion respecting any apprehended move ment of the Confederate forces.— Rich. Dispatch, 2 itfL Morgan’* Doings. • The Macon Telegraph says: Cynthi ana is almost due South of Covington and Cincinnati, and not more than sixty miles from those places. Is it possible that Morgan is contemplating a visit to Porkopolis or only threatening the place to create an agreeable sensation if he has taken Cynthiana, securities about this time in Cincinnati are unsettled pork is dull and heavy—flour drooping— lard slippery—whiskey on the rise and quotations unsteady all round. Tat State of “We*t Virginia.” In the Yankee Senate, on Monday, the * or admission of the State of ‘‘West Virginia” was passed after a pros tracted debate-yeas 23, nays 17. A Ilumlmg, What a stupendous humbug is that of foreign intervention! It has coul us thousands of livcß and millions of treas ure, and yet like Prometheus of old!, we j seem unable to tare loose from the iter-, j mcnting monster. It has comrroxiised j our x-elf-respect, brought our rulers into ridicuie, and at one time threatened our | destruction. Wo havs survived tho first blunder ol _ wailing for recognition and intervention ; are we prepared for anoth er Upon what do we build our hopes of intervention? Is there anything to justify such expectations ? None under heaven. It is even doubtful whether, after we have won our independence, for eign powers will be willing to recognize us. Europe is full of fanaticism —igno- rant, stupid, arbitrary fanaticism. She hates our domestic institutions. The British government has spent thousands in its attempts at negro emancipation in the West Indies. Her statesmen care but very little for the suffering opera tives of Manchester, provided there is a nigger at the bottom of the difficulty. Like the blind fanatics of New England, they care but little for the liberty and happiness of white operatives, so that the nigger is liberated. Negro equality is the prime object in view. England chdrishes as much pride in making herself independent of our com merce as we possibly can, in making our selves independent of her arms. She is taking advantage of our troubles to en courage the cultivation of our staple pro duction in her own provinces. Her manufacturers are encouraged to adopt their machinery to it. Thus, whilst the North is attempting to rob us of our liberty ,England is trying to rob us of our commerce. Are we stupid enough, there : fore, to believe that she will interfere in this war, assist in the establishment of a slave republic, and seek to restore king cotton to his ancient dominion ? If we are in earnest in our struggle for inde pendence, are fully determined to ac cept nothing but liberty or death, and have learned the important lesson of self* . reliance, wa shall succeed; nothing can be more certain; it is merely a question of time. If, on the contrary, we have not had enough of foreign humbug, if we are still ready to give attentive ear to idle stories of recognition and interven tion, and still persist in exhibiting an unmanly want of self-respect and self confidence, wc had well to lay down our arms and quit fighting, for our strug gles will avail nothing. Tlie Fight at Murfrce*loxo’. We find the following interesting ac count of the Murfreesboro’ light in the Atlanta Intelligencer: Gen. Forrest left Chattanooga about the Oth es July with the Texas Rangers, under Col. Wharton, and the 2J Georgia Cavalry, under Col. Lawton, lie made forced marches to McMinnville, Tennes see, where he was joined by the Ist Geor gia Cavalry under Col. Morrison, a part of Col. Spiller’s Cavalry undfer Major Smith, and two companies of the Ken tucky, Ist under Captains Vatham and Taylor. With his usual celerity Gen. Forrest left immediately and rode nearly 50 miles to Murfreesboro’ without stopping, ex cept to feed ; he reached there about daylight with about 1,400 meu and hors es. Fortunately he captured the pickets of the enemy without tiring a gun or giving any alarm. The pickets reported their force about 1,500 men with 4 pieces of artillery, embracing 2 Michigan regi ments, Capt. Ilewett’s artillery, and 200 Pennsylvania cavalry, all under com mand of Gen. Thomas Crittenden, of In diana, and that they were posted in two different camps, one in Murfreesboro’ and the other a mil 6 or so out of its limits. Gen. Forrest felt for a moment that success was scarcely possible. Ho had only about 13 or 1,400 wearied meu with no artillery, and how to storm a town and capture artillery with these men was almost impossible to solve ; but his brave heart swelled with the prospect: his troops were bravo and eager for the figfht; his genius rose with the difficulties and he decided to conquer or die. There were many of the soldiers of the enemy in the court house and private hoimes outside of their camp, and it was necessary to storm them and the camp in town at tho same time, while the ar tillery and other camp was held in check. Col. Wharton and his Rangers claimed the advance and storming of the camp in town, and bravely did they do their work. Under a heavy fire they entered the tents, and, although reduced by detach ments for other points to one hundred meu, they still fought on. Coi. Wharton was severely wounded, and nearly half of the men down, but they still held on until reinforced. Col. Morrison was ordered to storm the Court House, but all his men were sent to fight the second camp, and he had to command a portion of the 2d Georgia. He went bravely in at the head, and after two or three efforts un der a murderous fire from doors and win dows, he gained the building and the en emy then surrendered. Lieut. Col. Hood, under a galling fire, assaulted the jail, and carried it, reo leasing nearly seventy prisoners for po litical offences. Col. Saunders, of Alabama, while coolly fighting on the public square, was severely wounded and fell, to the uni versal regret of the Brigade, lie was acting at the time as aid to Gen. Forrest. The private houses were all at length taken, and amongst ihe prisoners were Gen. Crittenden and his entire staff. Col. “Lawton, with the Kentuckians and Tennesseeans and a portion of* the Georgians, engaged the second camp, and had the brunt of the artillery fire and long range guns so bear. The balls and shells rained amongst them, but they stood bravely up. The two Kentucky companies, under their gallant captains, Taylor and Wat liam, stood as steady as if on parade. ‘Major Smith and the Tennesseeans stood shoulder with them, and Capt. Dunlap, of the 2d Georgia, and Major Harper, charged almost alone to the mouth, of the cannon. Gen. Forrest, after two or three hours’ fighting, wheeled a portion of his brig ade to the rear, and charged at the head of them into the camp of the enemy. He was shot at twice by a negro, and the last fire knocked his hat off bis head. The enemy soon retreated and left all their tents and stores. Gen. Forrest after this summoned both camps to surrender, and prepared to storm the first camp and artillery if re fused. The enemy being thoroughly disheartened soon surrendered, and we thus captured about 1,400 men and offi cers, four pieces of artillery, an immense quantity of stores, arms, ammunition, ,&c. ; also 50 or GO fine road wagons, ambulances, &c., with all their horses and mules. We burnt four car loads of stores, the depot house, which was also full, two bridges on the Chattanooga road, and carried of all the artillery, wagons, hor ses, mules, and arms, with about 1,300 prisoners. Our loss was 2 o killed, and about sixty wounded; and that of the enemy was somewhat greater. Lieut. Col. Lather led the Texans after the wound ,of Col. Wharton and there is no braver man. It is generally conceded that the Xexans were the fore most in the fight and sustained their old renown. Capt. Arlege, of Winchester, and Lieut. Davis, of Lincoln, had a squad in the fight, including Capts. Turney, Shook, Northcutt, any many others who made their mark on the enemy. Col. Law rence Watkins, of Alabama, and Dun nington, of Columbia, gallantly won their spurs on the public square. Foreign Exchange. The Enquirer of Wednesday, in an edi torial article relative to the irredeemable character of cur currency and the recent advances on cotton, says “ This, in the present condition of our currency, is an unavoidable occurrence. An irredeemable paper currency will not answer tho purposes of foreign exchange, and our government, (State and Confed erate) have been at fault in not providing a currency that would. When the war is over the lack ol such a currency will be more keenly felt, and will for a long time subject our people to the payment of very high prices for ail foreign goods.” The question which naturally sug gests itself upon reading the above, is, what has been the basis of our foreign exchange heretofore? The answer is familiar, and can be satisfactorially giv en by almost any business man—it was cotton, not our local currency. Our paper currency is intended merely to subserve the purposes of internal trade. The Confederate treasury notes were not in tended to circulate in Europe, nor yet to form a basis of foreign exchange. They were intended merely as a domestic cur rency, and cannot affect our commerce with foreign nations. When peace is made, our merchants will establish com mercial relations with foreign markets— they will have their brokers in Liverpool, London, Paris, an l other European cities to whom they will ship their cotton. In return, foreign merchants will have their brokers in Charleston, Richmond, and New Orleans, to whom they will ship their goods. The Charleston merchant who is made the consignee of an English cargo, will, in payment, draw a bill of exchange upon his broker in Liverpool, the bill being based upon the cotton or its equivalent in the hands of the drawee; thus the whole transaction is complete, •without the intervention of local curren cy on either side. Again : The annual exports of cotton from this oouutry within the last ten years, average not less than three mil lions (3,000,000) bales, amounting, at ordinary prices, to one hundred and fifty million dollars in gold or its equiva lent, Now, the people of the South cannot consume one hundred and fifty millions dollars worth of foreign goods in one year ; two-thirds of that amount would perhaps be a largo estimate. Then it is clear that fifty millions (50,000,00) of foreign gold or its equivalent, must come into circulation —thus furnishing an im mediate basis for domestic credit. True, if we buy less than the amount received for our cotton, foreign exchange will be at a discount; if .wo buy more, it will be at a premium, of course. But how is our domestic currency going to effect for eign markets when it is not the basis of foreign exchange ? On the contrary, when the war is over, and commerce with Europe is fully established, all man ufactured goods (with the exception of cotton fabrics) will be lower than they have ever been known before, because the demand will not be equal to the sup ply. * Wliat tlie ♦‘Union” Cost Us. Tho statistics of the United States show that the South has paid tributo to the North within the last ten years an averago of fifty million dollars per annum. This for the space of ten years, makes the handsome little sum of five hundred millions—all in hard money. The aggregate white population of the Southern States, including Maryland and Missouri, does not exceed ten mil lions, thus making the tribute money equivalent to fifty dollars for every man, woman, and child in the Confederate States. Now, suppose we iftd this sum returned to us, and that the average number of every family in the South is five persons, we should have $250 for overy family in the Confederacy. This would be considered a pretty heavy war tax, should our struggles last, ten years ; and yet we have paid it, in most cases, without murmuring, for the blessed priv ilege of living in the “glorious Union” —nothing more. If we had that money back, and now in circulation in our midst, it would give us a safe basis for five hundred million dollars in paper cur rency, making in all a circulating me dium of one billion ($1,000,000,000) dollars, none of which, if properly man aged, would be below par. In view of these facts, is it wonderful that the Northern government should make great efforts to force us into fel lowship with them ? They want our rev enue, just as England wanted the reve nue of the colonies in ’7O, but without being able to show any color of title.— Then, there is the Puritan, negro equal ity party, at the head of which is Mr. Lincoln himself. That party being now in power, it seeks to overthrow our Re publican institutions and enslave ten millions of white people for the purpose of liberating three millions of negroes, and placing them upon a political equul ity with themselves. It is natural, there fore, that we should resist this high handed and arbitrary measure, and strike for political independence. Every true Southerner is prepared to die in defence of our cause, but to tamely surrender— never. From the New York Herald, 15th. “She SllnplatcrCurietußlew York. The resort to ehinsplasters is causing considerable excitement among cur citi zens. The people desire something as change more tangible than the mere sub scription of men who to day keep a res taurant and to morrow may be out of bus iness. Hence it is that the suggestion of using postage stamps, made in the Tri bune several days ago, nppers to be in favor. Baker & Godwin have published agaeat show card, bearing this announce ment : “Postage Stamps arc Received for Goods, and Given as Change for Current Bills.” Judging from the salewhich these cards have had already, postage stamps may be expocted to be in circulation very ex tensively before many days. Ia Philadelphia and Boston, as well as other large cities and towns, the same troubles exists, and the importance of having some uniform token of “small change,” and'especially a Federal token, such as the postage stamp, must com mend itself. The copper coinage at the Philadelphia Mint per day is $2,500, which is far from being adequate to the demand for change. From every section of the country is an urgent call for “pen nies”—a short time since only to be got rid of at ’ discount—in small and large sums. In the present emergency, post age stamps are always worth the money they cost, and shinplaster dealers who refuse to take Uncie Sam’s image and superscription should be discounten anced. Indian Trouble*. Salt Lake, June 30, via. Pacific Springs, July I.—On Saturday afternoon the Indians attacked Lieut. Gleen’s party of 18 men, near Rocky Ridge, in which two whites and one Indian were killed. It is supposed they cut the line. The same afternoon the Indians were seen along the road from Pacific Springs to Sweet Water. Col. Collins says they are Sioux and Cheyennes, and number about 400. He could not cross Sweet Water to follow. The stage has stopped for the present. The Indians are seen lurking in the hills about Pacific Springs. ♦ - Northern accounts report the comple tionof a Virginia No. 2 for the Confed erates on James river. r Federal Mail Steamer Destroyed!

John Morgan has captured Cynthiana, Ken tucky. The excitement at Newport and Covington is high and increasing. Gen. Ilalleck ha3 resigned the com mand of the army of the Southwest, and it is said will repair to Washington. The steamer City of Washington has arrived from Liverpool, with dates to the Oth. Lord Russell stated in Parliament that France had declined entering into a treaty against the slave trade. A resolution prohibiting English inter ference in Ghina, had been rejected in the House of Commons. The cotton manufacturers of ltowen and Lisle have sent a deputation to the Emperor Napoleon to represent their dif ficulties. The Italian Ministry repudiates any interference ia the affairs of Mexico. It is rumored that Russia will join France in a mediation in American af fairs. | In Liverpool, tho sales of cotton f6r ’ two days, including the 9:h, amounted to 27,000 bales. The market is firm, at an advance of j of a penny. Breadstuff’s are quiet, with a decline of six pence on flour, and from one to two pence on wheat. The latest cotton market clo-ed flat and unsettled under the effects of the news per steamer Etna; breadstuff’s closed firm. Richmond, July 23.—Baltimore papers of the 23d says the Asia has arrived, with Liverpool advices to the 13th. The result of the fighting before Richmond is treated as a severe reverse for the Union ists by the English press. Lord Palmer ston had stated in Parliament that the British troops in Canada would not be withdrawn. The Liverpool Post says that the new American tariff’ will bo looked upon in Great Britain as a measure amounting almost to a declaration of war. The cotton market closed with an upward tendency. SECOND DISPATCH. Richmond, July 23.—A telegram, da ted Cincinnati, 18th, says Indianapolis dispatches to the Executive Department say that Henderson, Ky., and Newburg, Ind., have been taken by the rebels.

Col. Ferguson succeeded in obtaining possession.of the mail bag from the ship Richmond, en route for Washington. The comments are highly interesting of the Yankee letters, which admit the impossi bility of capturing Vicksburg without an immense land force, and admit that the Arkansas whipped them. They evince great terror of the Ar kansas, her appearance round the bend this morning, was a signal for a general skedaddle. Bombarding continued slow ly to-day. Vicksburg, July 22.—About 44 o’clock this morning two iron rams attacked the Arkansas, and attempted to board her by the Essex. It resulted in a miserable failure.

Judge Betts of the U. S. District Court of New York, had released the British steamer Lebuan, captured with cotton at the mouth of the Rio Grande, as a neutral party not in formed of tho blockade. It was suppos ed he would also release the steamer Bermuda and Circassian’on the same grounds.

Confirmation of Colonel Morgan's Triumphs. Richmond, July 25.—The following official dispatch was received this morn ing, dated Knoxville, July 24. To General S. Cooper: Col. Morgan sends a dispatch, dated Georgetown, Ky., 10th, stating that he has taken eleven cities and town, with very heavy army stores and that he has force sufficient to hold all the country outside of Lexington and Frankfort, which places are chiefly garrisoned by Home Guards. The bridges between Lexington and Cincinnati have been de stroyed. [Signed] E. Kiebt Smith. From the Richmond Dispatch. From tire Valley. From tho most direct information we have from the Valley, we infer that mat ters m e bright for the Confederate cause. We published a few days ago some shto meniH based upon intelligence received from a gentleman who came through from Winchester last week. Wo have since been permitted to extract from a letter received by a gentleman iu this city from a member of the cavalry corps now com manded by Gen. B. 11. Robertson. This lotter coniirms all that has previously been stated with reference to the fre quent desertions from the Federal army of the Valley, and the disinclination of the Yankee troops there to engage our forces. The statements of the writer may be regarded as reliable, as he sus tains the character of a man of integrity and intelligence. He says: ‘■The Yankees are leaving the Valley rapidly. They have a considerable amount of supplies at Winchester yet, and wc will either capture or destroy some of them. Our presence, too, in duces many to desert, and they flock to us rapidly. Fifteen in one gang came up to Powell’s Fort day before yester day, and live in another. Four hundred deserted from one regiment at Front Royal the past week, leaving nothing hut officers. There is great dissatisfac tion and demoralization in the Yankee army here, and if their men at home have no greater inclination to fight this war through than their hirelings here, old Abe will have a sorry time of it in getting his 300,000 additional troops. — Gen. Robertson paroles all who volunta rily come into into our lines. “The army of the valley were turned from their march through Manassas Gap by a few guerrillas. They then went up the Page valley. There was great panic in the whole army. Thirty men turned the course of more than 2,500. Seizures of concealed government arms were made in some of the palatial resi dences of rebel sympathizers in Balti more last week. In one house were found fifty-Beven Harper’s Ferry mus kets, loaded, witli accoutrements com plete. The arma were taken, and the sympathizers will be brought before General Wool for investigation. Co*t of the War—Motive for Con tinuing, The New York Herald says the civil war has cost tho United States : kGOO,- 000,000, and the “bones of its dead sol diers would make a Golgotha monument higher than that of Bunker Ilill.” It says: “In return for this immense outlay of blood and treasure what have we gained? Are the rebels subdued ? On the contrary, they seem stronger than ever. Is the rebellion at its last gasp ? It has to day more soldiers in the field than the Union Have we succeeded iu reviving the Union feeling at the South? Why, every day the two sections drift farther and farther apart; every day we become more and more ignorant of the sentiments of the Southern people: every day that this accursed rebellion is permitted to con tinue, the number of Southern Union men becomes less as tho old Union seems more powerless and remote, and the new Confederacy more powerful and success ful What, then, have we gained ?In spue of our brilliant victories, ouruaval superiority, our numerous but isolated triumphs, we have practically and in re sults gained very little and lost very much. “What, then, shall we do next? Shall we give up the war, disband our army and navy, and let the rebels go in peace ? Never It is too late to think of such a course. Tho recognition of the Southern Confederacy by our own government is no longer among the contingencies of this war. The rebels may’ defeat onr armies and capture our capita!—these are possibilities—but the rebels can never conquer their independence, ‘[’he con flict has assumed anew and asuhlimer aspect. We have lo decide now, not whether the rebels can be subdued, but whether the country is io be saved. Tho question is no longer the puttiug down of the rebellion, but the salvation of the nation. We are in cul de sac, from which our only escape is the suppression of tho rebellion by force.” Tire I,ate Gen. Davlit E. Tnlggs. The telegraph has announced the death of Gen. David E. Twiggs, G. S. A. lie was born in Richmond county, Georgia, about the year ITS!). In 1812 he enter ed the army of the United States, aud on the 12th of March of that year re ceived the appointment of Captain in the Bth Infantry. On the 30th of June, 184 G, ho was appointed ral, and on the 23d of September of the same year was breveted Major General. He served with distinction iu the Indian wars in Alabama, and also in the war with Mexico, his gallantry being most conspicuous in the battle of Cerro Gor do ; and, when the latter war was closed, tho happy compliment was paid him of being “the hero of all the battles and of none of the letters.” As an instance of his devotion to his State, it is mentioned that during the difficulties between Georgia and tho Fed eral Government, under the administra tion of l'resident Adams, Gen. Twiggs, fearing that he might be called upon to act against his native State, tendered his resignation to the Government as an offi cer of the U. S. Army. So high was the esteem in which he was held, however, his resignation wa3 not accepted, but he was transferred to another department. Again, in 18(10, when Georgia seceded from the Union, he resolved to give his services to the South, and surrendered his command in Texas to the Confederate authorities. For this act he was, of course, denounced by the Federal Gov ernment and people ; but it was approved by the Confederate Government, and the old hero was placed in command of (lie military department of Now Orleans; but age and feeble health soon compelled him to resign ; and very recently he came to this city to reside with his relatives. Here, amid friends and relatives, his spirit departed, and he was “gathered to his fathers.”— Richmond Dispatch. Kx.Uov. Seymour, of Conn., Op liosed (o u War of Subjugation. Ex-Gov. Seymour, of Connecticut, has written a remarkable letter to the Hart ford Times condemning the use of bis name as a Vice President of the late War Meeting in that city. He goes ou to say that “If if is necessary to be more explicit, 1 beg leave to state that, knowing what the meeting would be beforehand, I could not have been induced to attend it, or take a part in its doings—and that, having glanced at the speeches and the proceedings generally of that meeting, I particularly desire to clear myself from any participation, directly or indirectly, in what took place there. The meeting, if I have not misunder stood its general bearing, is one which ignores peaceful remedies of any sort as means of restoring the Union, and calls loudly lor men and means to aid iu the subjugation aud consequent degradation and overthrow of the Boutb. I follow, gentlemen, iu no such crusade, neither will I contribute, iu any way, to tho ac complishment of such bloody purposes. The monstrous fallacy of the present day, that the Union can be reestablished by destroying any part of the South, is one which will burst with the shells that are (brown into its defenceless cities, and leave the condition of this country, after its treasures are exhausted, and its brave men ou both sides consigned to hospitals and graves, a spectacle for reproach or commisseration of the civilized world. From California. The Northern papers give some inter esting items of lato adviceßfrom Califor nia : There was a grand torchlight proces sion in San Francisco in honor of the passage of the Pacific railroad bill. Many houses were illuminated. The whole business portion of the town of St. Louis, in Sierra county, was de stroyed by fire on the Bth. The steamer from the northern coast brought two hundred and sixty thousand dollars in gold from Oregon. British Columbia accounts on the whole are encouraging to believers in the exis tence of extensive mining regies. The souson is not sufficiently advanoed to permit of much development of the Carn boo mines of British Columbia. Letters received from Tucson, up to the seventh June, report that Captain Fritz, of the California volunteers, had arrived at Tucson on the sixteenth with twenty rebels, whom he had captured at the Patagonia silver mines. Among them is Lieutenant Morrisey, who is charged with furnishing ammunition aud supplies to tho enemy. He was sur rounded by quite a number of despera does, aud intended to make a desperate defence, but they were completely sur rounded and taken by Capt. Fritz. The prisoners will tie brought to Fort Zuma. Gen. Carleton was returning to Fort Zuma. A part of his command have moved toward Mesilla. The army is still in good health. ♦- U. S. Treasury Note*. We saw, yesterday, in tho hands of a soldier who was engaged in the battles below Richmond, one hundred dollars of the recent issue of United States Treas ury notes, of the denomination of s’s and 10’s. The holder of these notes says that he picked them up on the field, aud was not aware that they were of any val-’ ue. On being offered Confederate money for them by a gentleman who desired to procure it for the use of prisoners iu the North, he seemed astonished that any one should regard such a currency of any value. He had*only kept it because it resembled money.— Rich. Dispatch. A juvenile patriot of Knoxville, hear ing Major Jordan [Morgan’s prisoner brought from Tompkinsville, Ky.,) say that he and his command were looking for Morgan, very archly aud mischiev ously enquired—“Did you find Morgan “.Yes,” said the Major, with a forced smile; “but not exactly under the cir cumstances I wanted to find him.”— Knox.

That valorous little city was considered too hard a nut for it to i crack? What its destination is wa3 not j known. Some of its officers, however, declared that it was Mobile; others thought Galveston, and still others James river. It must be doing something, but we can hardly see what use it can he in James river. A lew days ago there was great fear of au uprising of the people. Double sentries we pul pn duty, aud some of iho heaviest of the war vessels were moored in front of the city. The purpose w‘as to destroy if, if the movement should be made. It was this fear that prompted the order of the Provost Marshal, declar ing that three persons found together on the streets were equivalent to a rioi ; and several citizens wore arrested and fined for violating it. On the 13th in stant the fear of the riot was so great, that signal flags from St. Patrick’s Cath edral were used nearly all day. The same day a lady was arrested for dis playing a Confederate banner in honor of the victory in Virginia, and the move ment among tha citizens was so marked and defiant that the Provost Marshal ex hibited considerable apprehension cl iho result. Gen. Van Dorn is rebuilding the Man chac bridge, about 36 miles from New Orleans, and tho Confederate pickets ■•had driven in those of the enemy at Ken ner, which is distant only 12 miles. Some two weeks ago tijerewasa battle between some Texas guerrillas near Ope lousas and a portion of Butler’s forces How it resulted is not. exactly known, j but oars returned to New Orleans laden : with wounded Yankee soldiers. Butler I sent reinforcements, and a portion of them had come back, making their way through swamrs and getting to their quarters in a very forlorn condition. Communication with the city, it was supposed, would be entirely cut off. — Sailing vessels accustomed to run to Madisonville, on the opposite side of the Lake, are all retained there ; and on the 14th inst., several persons were arrested for running this blockade and impris oned. Trade wasas dull as before. On Tues day there were no clearances, and only two arrivals of small coasters. .Several vessels in the employment of the Lincoln Government hatD|ome in from sea.

A correspondent, of the Atlanta Con federacy writing from Grenada, Miss., July 15th, says: Indications from above lead strongly to the supposition that the evacuation of Corintli by the Federal forces is gradu ally, and as secretly as possible, trans piring A Confederate Surgeon belong ing to one of the Alabama regiments, who was captured at Shiloh, and released under the recent agreement between the two governments to regard Surgeons as non-combatants, arrived here from Mem phis last night, bringing the intelligence, j lie came from Louisville via Nashville to ; Corinth, a week ago, expecting to pass I the enemy’s lines at that point, but was j refused passage by Halleck, and ordered 1 to go back to Louistille, and proceed thence to Memphis, coming from there South. lie says while at Corinth he saw large numbers of transportation wagons and troops, moving towards North A!a bama, with the view he thought, of going either to East Tennessee or Nashville and thence to Virginia to reinforce Mc- Clellan. Other accounts represent that the Federal force at Corinth has certain ly been reduced from fifteen thousand to about ten thousand men in Ihe last two weeks. # Counterfeit a. We have been shown a counterfeit $lO Con federate note, dated 2d September, ISOI, No. 0312, signed T. Kllet and 11. H. Goodloe. All these—the date, number and signature—are engraved—not written; and any man of com mon observation can at once detect the differ ence between an engraved and a written sig nature. The name of Ellett on the counter feit is much heavier than on the genuine; and the name of Goodloe is so badly executed that no one could ever read it who did not know what it was intended for. The paper of this counterfeit is very inferior to the genuine in texture aud finish, and the whole cugravnig’is very rough and destitute of any finish cr ele gance, while tile engraving of the genuine is very good. The coloring of the counterfeit is also bad. The medallions of the genuine bills containing the tigures “10” are of a deep yel lowish tint, approaching to red ; and just below (tie words, “Confederate States of America” there is a “band” extending nearly the whole length of the bill, which contains the word ! “T—E—N” in very large letters, and is closely ; tilled with the same word ‘-ten” in small caps. —this word appearing perhaps 200 times.— These small words, “ten” do no appear in the counterfeit: and tiie color is more of a lake, or approaching a bright red, instead of the deep yellow tint of the genuine. Counterfeit ss’s have been rejected at onr banks within the last few days. We have seen none of them. #They too are on inferior paper, and the engraving is bungling. Pool: out for them. —Atlanta Confederacy, 23d. Later from Hew Mexico, EVACUATION OF THE TERRtTOEV BV TUE CONFEDERATE TROOPS. The Houston (Texas) Telegraph of the \ 25th ult., brings uj the intelligence (hat, after an arduous and brilliant campaign, j our gallant little army in New Mexico had, after repeated and h&rd-wcrn suc cesses, been compelled, from scarcity of provisions and forage in the territory, to fall back to Arizona, whero they had ar rived iu safety. The Telegraph has a long review on the operations of this ex pedilion under the command of General Sibley, in which Cols. Green and Scur ry, and Majors Byron and Jordan, par ticularly distinguished themselves in the battles of Valvcrde, on the 20th Feb., and of Glorietta, on tho 28th March, in both of which signal victories over tho Federals were aohieved. Accounts of these battles have been published in our columns, and need not be repeated. The Yankees anl tic Negroes. It appears from statements in the j Northern newspapers that McClellan j proposes to employ negroes to perform j the hard labor of his fortifications, vrith j a view to save his troops from the perils ! of sunstroke. Thi3is the sort of freedom | the deluded slaves enjoy when they get into the-clutches of the aboiitiouists. j They are worked to death, in order to save the lives of a proportionate number j of miserable Yankees, not one-half of whom can lay as much claim to respect ability as the blackest corn field negro in Virginia. We hope onr authoritirsy ; in negotiating for an exchange of pris- - oners, will make the invaders account for at least a portion of the “contra bands” they have stolen, though in mak ing up their relative value it should aps pear that one nigger was equal to two Yankees.— Richmond Dispatch. Good for the 2d Georgia UattaJLloii, ; In an editorial notice of the recent, at- : tack on the Federal transports iu James j River, tho Petersburg Express says: “In addition to the fire from our pie- ! ces, we had some two hundred and fifty : sharpshooters lining the bank of the river, who poured repeated volleys on those occupying the decks of the steam- 1 era. MaDy must havo been killed, the range being short and the sharpshooters comprising several of our most expert marksmen.” We understand that the sbarshooters thus alluded to, were taken from the 2d Georgia Battalion. They are said to have acquitted themselves handsomely, eliciting the praise of all their comrades. —Macon Telegraph. ,—, : Correspondence of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Important Rumors.
