TENNESSEE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE SUN, Prom Chattanooga. Chattanoga, July 19th, 1862. Eds. Sun .• Were it in my power, I should be glad to keep you posted on everything that is transpiring in this part of the Confederacy, but the means I have of obtaining reliable information are limited, and that which comes to me for “reliable,” frequently has not a uhadow of truth about it. I think, how ever, I am in possession of some facts which will be new and interesting to you, and for the truth of which I can vouch. Yesterday evening, an official dispatch reached this place from Col. Forest. He stated that he attacked the enemy at Murfreesborough, with a force of 800 strong, on Sunday morning, 5 o’clock ; the fight lasted nine hours, when he suc ceeded in burning the depot, destroying three trains of cars, and capturing 1200 prisoners among which were two Briga dier Generals. He also captured hun dred horses and mnles, 400 wagons with several pieces of light artillery, and a vast amount of commissary and quartermasters stores, nearly all of which he was compelled to destroy. This vic tory is regarded as one of the most bril liant of the war. The dashing Colonel Forest is carving out for himself a name which will stand high upon the temple of fame. Yesterday, the 18th, Buell was repor ted at Battle Creek in person. It is sup posed he went there for the purpose of reconnoitering. Perhaps he designs marching on Chattanooga ; once he might have dono eo successfully, but that time is past. If rumor can bo re lied on, a knowledge of startling events will soon reach us. It is also reported here this morning in high official circles that tho enemy have retired from and burned Huntsville. I have no local nows of importance. Since General McCowan has been in command at this post, everything seems to be’ going on swimmingly. Tho Gen eral is regarded asja good man, and every one have the utmost confidence in his ability. Silas. Letter front East Tennessee. Louisvuli, (mlar Knoxville,) Tenn., ) July si, 1562. ) Eds Sun : All remains as quiet here as could be expected. It now begins to be questionable whether we will have any great battle here. Our troops are so stationed along the lino of railroad, that a strong force can soon be concentrated at any given point on the road where it may be needed Col. Morgan continues to bleak the monotony in the present dearth of news. His captured Major reached Knoxville a few days ago. The government is not exactly pressing horses, wagons, &o.; but the people are selling them, knowing that the govern ment must and will have them There are certain localities in the Confederacy where pressing is needed. Men full of wordy patriotism, who for the sake of tho good cause aro willing to talk ficm one day’s end to another, without furnishing but little material aid. If government agents were to go to these men of heavy purse and tell them wo must have some horses, provisions, &c., they would begin to realize that there is a war going on m this country. These remarks do not apply to Eaßt Tennessee so fully as to other por tions of tho country more remote from the scene of action. We have recently had a hue shower of rain here, with good prospects for more. Corn crops, in the main, are looking finely; and if the “Republic” is not “ crushed out,'” till hunger docs it, there iB a probability that Jonathan will feel its keen pangs in his own maw before the work is accomplished. Darius. Ftoin the Temieaeee River. Long Island, Ala., I July 18th, 1802. f Eds. Sun: We arrived here on Tues day anil reported to Gen Heth, acting Major General of the 2d Division of De partment of East Tennessee, who turned us over to Brigadier General Leadbetter, (ho of Bridgeport retreat notoriety) much to our regret. I say regret, because the military antecedents of this gentle man are not such a3 to inspire soldiers with any confidence in his military skill and capacity. He has the confidence of neither soldiers or civilians hereabouts. We are encamped within one and a half miles of the enemy. They have a strong force opposite U3, near and below the mouth of Battle Creek. Their tents aro plainly visible from the summit of a mountain not far distant from our camp. Every call upon their drums are distinctly heard by us. Our pickets bring in prisoners frequently. Three on yesterday, belonging to a Kentucky regi ment. Their forces are variously esti mated at from 10,000 to 20,000. I find here Major William Gunter, for merly of the 6th Alabama regiment, in command of a battalion of Partisan Ran gers. This gentlemen returned to his home from Virginia last Spring after his term of service expired, aud found his horses, cattle, &0., stolen by the Yan kees, his negroes scattered through the country, and his family cruelly treated by the inhuman Yankeo devils. He ar rived at home in the night, and before the break of day next morning, left and began to rally a few daring men around him for the purpose of annoying aud harrassing the enemy as much as pos sible, which he has succeeded in doing to a considerable extent. The Yankees have set a price upon his head. His residence is near the lino of Alabama and Tennessee, opposite this place, aud dis* tant about three miles- His family are on this side of the river. This section of our State is disgraced by scores of tiaitore, who seize every op portunity of conveying intelligence of military movements on this side of the river to the enemy. And strange to say none of them hav6 ye-t been hung, aud but very few arrested How loug shall this state of affairs be allowed to con tinue. Capt. Waddell has been compelled to leave his command by ill-health, for a short time. He visits tho Warm springs, Georgia. We left Major Hatch Cook at Chatta nooga with a battalion of Illlliaid’s Le gion. He was being furnished with arms. I was glad to notice while at Chattanooga, that Capt. Humphries, Ordnance officer at that post, had on hand a good supply of Enfield rifles, part of a recent impor tation from England News has reached us of another gal lant exploit by the bold aud interprid Morgan. As I predicted iu my letter to the Sun of the 13th, he turned up at a place little expected by the enemy. A report has also reached us, through Fed eral sources, that another success has attended our arms below Naswille, profit ably at Murfreesboro’. I was mistaken in calling the railroad leading from Chattanooga to this place the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. It should have been the Chattanooga and Nashville Railroad. The former begins at Stevenson, at which place the latter takes the direction of Nashville. I had the pleasure while at Chatta nooga of visiting the celebrated Lookout Mountain, and taking a view of the sur rounding country for miles. 1 was well repaid for my trouble in climbing the mountain over a bad road, horseback, on a very hot day. The view from the sum mit is beautiful indeed. There is a ho tel and a number of handsome cottages on the mountain. The hotel is not open, and there are no visitors, for any length of time, owing to tho troubled state of affairs. I also visited the Lookout Cave, which enters at the base of the mountain within a few feet of the Nashville and Chatta nooga Railroad. A few friends and my eelf, with the assistance of a guide, (who we paid 25 cents a piece for his lamps,) h penetrated the Cave to the distance of | “ r ®° fl Q erterß of a mile. At some points f we /®“ d Cave 10 or 12 feet in width, and 30 or 40 in heighth, narrowing to wards the top. Again we would have to stoop and move sideways to pass : some* times descend a wooden ladder and again ascend one. This Cave has been, and is now, being worked for saltpetre. Mr. Pringle, who has oharge of the Saltpetre Works, informs me that he has had as many as 30 hands engaged. The dirt which is obtained from the large crevi ces in the rock, and brought out on the backs of the laborers, is strongly im pregnated, yielding as high as 7} lbs. per bushel. One great curiosity connect ek with this womlcr of nature, is the strong currents of cold air rushing from the crevices in the rock, at several places, by which some of our lamp lights were extinguished, causing us the not very pleasant reflection of a possibility of our having to find our way out of the place without the assistance of a light, which would have been a rather difficult matter. Confederate. Daring aiul {successful Attack on tlie Enemy’s Transports in Jame'sßlv er Gen. Stuart has performed another of his brilliant scouts in tho rear of the enemy’s lines, and succeeded in success fully shelling the Yankee transports at “North Bend,” on James River, below Charlos City C- 11. The party consisted of the First Com pany of the Washington Artillery, Capt. Squires commanding, a Parrott section of the Loudon Battery, under Capt. Rog ers, and one piece of Stuart’s horse artil lery, with a small cavalry support, the whole being in charge of Col. Lee; and having reached tho desired point on the river bank, under cover of the night, they opened fire last Monday morning on the enemy’s transports, coming up with reinforcements and supplies for Mc- Clellan's army. The first transport was disabled aud driven back, and as soon as the position of our artillery became known, the enemy brought up his gun boats and shelled them at a desperate rate. Managing however, to avoid their range, our boys waited till evening, when a largo fleet of transports appeared in the river, supported by gunboats. Col. Lee then ordered them into battery on the bank just opposite, when they poured into the Yankee vessels a terrible fire of shot and shell. Having all rifled guns and a good range the shots from our ar tillery told upon the enemy with great ellect, sinking one of his transports and raking the others from stem to stern. Several masts were cut away and the ves sels so riddled that they were compelled to lighten them by throwing oil’ their freight in the river. The enemy’s gun boats kept up a rapid fire, but our batte ries were too close to them for their shots to take ellect, aud they had to withdraw, with no loss whatever on our side. Our forces retired from the Charles City C. 11. next morning by a circuitous route, just in lime to escape oapturo by a large force of Yankee infantry and cav alry, sent down to cut oil their retreat. _4S— Prom Vicksburg. The following dispatch from General Van Bom gives some additional intellis gence relative to the lal6 exploit of the ram Arkansas: “Vicksbuo, July IG, 18G2.—The ene my opened all their guns and mortars logt evening, and shelled the city and batteries until after dark, when eight of their vessels of war passed down under fire of the batteries and the Arkansas broadsides. What damage was done to them I have not learned, though they were repeatedly pierced by shot of the heaviest calibre One heavy shot passed through the side of the Arkansas, kill ing two ruen and wounding threo. This was all the damage done to us, with tho exception of one house burned down in the city. Our troops here have a con tempt for the fleet and the bombard ment, aud await coolly for the troops to land. “The Arkansas is the admiration of all, and her daring and heroic act has inspired all with the greatest enthusiasm. She is now being repaired and will soon be ready for orders. “Earl Van Dorn, Maj. Geu.” Ths Londou Telegraph, in referring to Butler’s brutal order, remarks: It is true that Butler aud his villain ous decree may be disavowed by the Washington Government, but how facile are these official avowals—how easy it is for Alexander at tit. Petersburg to disa vow the woman-whippings ordered by his Generals at Warsaw. “It is a far cry to Loohawo ” It is a long way from New York to New Orleans. The mis chief and the scandal are in the fact that high posts in the Federal army should be entrusted to abandoned wretches, who by their deeds, bring upon themselves the scorn and opprobrium of tho whole civilized world. The commanders of the Confederate forces have at least acted like oflioers and gentlemen It hus been reserved for the “highhanded” and “re fined” warriors of the North to emulate the coarse brutalities of rowdies and shoulder-hitters. “Stonewall’’ not a Full General. “An ignorant rumor has been circula ted, the Richmond Examiner, “that Major General Jackson has been made a general in the regular Confederate army. The rumor is entirely without founda tion. The Confederate army, as distin guished from the Provisional, is a per manent organization, aud at present, composed of a skeleton of officers. Tho highest rank in it “general,” and that title is limited by a special act of Con gress, and cannot be enlarged by the Executive. The generals iu the Confed erate service named in the order of rank are: Cooper, Lee, Joseph E. Johnston, Beauregard and Bragg—the latter hav ing been nominated to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Sidney John ston, and there having been no vacancy since for further nominations to this rank in the Confederate service. ————— ■ —— ———— Firm FreJeilelutuuf and Haiti more. From a gentleman attached to the cav alry service, who reached Richmond last night, we have some interesting news from Erederioksburg. The enemy has entirely evacuated that city, aud retired b6joud the Rappahannock, on the north bank of which he has posted a cavalry picket. The joy of the citizens is un bounded at this sudden departure of their oppressors. . Our informant, before leaving Freder icksburg, met with a gentleman just ar rived from Baltimore, from whom ho learned that the Y ankees have withdrawn from Baltimore all their troops except three regiments of militia. All their available force has also been withdrawn from Washington The destination of these troops was not positively known, but it was currently believed they had been sent to General Pope in the Valley. — Richmond Examiner, Pith. Guae Beck. A Yankee by the name of Owen Mun son, a. Dentist, a native of western New York, once took up his temporary abode in the city of Augusta in this Stale. He was known as a violent pro-3lavery man, denounced the abolitionists soundly, was a leader iu religions meetings, and a psalmoßinging apostle of the church to which he was attached The Richmond Dispatch of a late date says this same hypocritical Puritan is now a prisoner oi war in one of the to bacco houses iu Richmond. This is but one instance among a thousand. There is scarcely a town or city in the whole Confederacy but what has been similarly imposed upon. A manufactory for Friction Matches was destroyed by fire in Macon, Ga., on Friday night last, with the chemicals used. It was thought to be the work of au incendiary. Th Heavy Guns ot McClellan’* Army. It is now believed that a large number of siege guns, designed to have been planted around Richm6nd, were at the White House when the Yankees evacua ted that place, and that they were thrown into the Pamuc key river. The Yankee Emancipation Act. 4 The edicts of the Lincoln Congress ! against the South possesses as much j force as the decrees of the Mock Duke in j the play—they are arrant foolery —but j then the knaves are in earnest, and it would be well to make the record against them. In the House of Representatives, the bill passed by the vote of yeas Bj, nays 35. „ The bill passed provides for Ue eman- j cipation of all slaves of the tollowing ciasses; , Ist Os every person who shall act as an officer of the rebel army or navy. 2d Os every person who shall act as President, Vice-President, member of Congress, judge of any court, cabinet of- I fleer, foreign minister, commissioner, or consul of the so-called Confederate States. 3d—Of every person who shall act as Governor of a State, member of a con vention or Legislature, or judge of any State Court of the so-called Confederate States. 4th—Of every person who, having held an office of honor, trust or profit in the United States. sth—Of any person who shall hold any office or agency under the so-called Con federate States, or under any of the States thereof. But persons in the third aud fifth clas ses must havo accepted their appoint ments since the date of the secession or dinance of their State, or have taken an oath of allegiance to the Confederate States. Gth—Of every person not within the above classes, who since the passage of the act, being wilfully and without com pulsion engaged in armed rebellion, shall not within sixty days lay down his arms and return to his allegianoe. The bill also disqualifies said six clas ses from holding office under the United States government. The President is authorised to nego tiate for tho acquisition, by treaty or otherwise, of lands and countries in Mex ico, Central America, or South America, or in the islands in the Gulf of Mexico, or for the right of settlement upon the lands of said countries, for all persons liberated under the provisions of this act, to be removed with their own con sent. For the purpose of paying the ex pense of the purchase of lands and the removal, the President shall use such money as Congress may from time to time direct, arising out of the sales of the property formerly owned by rebels, and which shall have been confiscated to the use of the United States. The other sections mainly relate to the machinery by which the provisions of the bill are to be enforced. Tory Mendacity. We havo read a great many lying par agraphs from tho Yankee press within the last few weeks, that would doubtless command a premium iu the infernal re gions, but the following from Andy John son’s organ at Nashville, is ahead of aDy thing wo have yet seen. Alluding to the arrest and imprisonment of the clergy in that city', tho lying editor calls upon Union men to remember that: “Hundreds of tbo noblost and oldest loyal citizens of East Tennessee, one of them an old, devoted'aud beloved minis ter of tho gospel, and another a war worn veteran seventy-three years of age, who fought under Jackson at New Or leans, are to-day and have been for months past lying in a close and filthy dungeon at Tuscaloosa, eating tainted meat, and bread made of corn meal in which the grain and cobb are ground together, and drinking filthy water, in which their rebel guards wash their hands. Shall such be inflicted on our countrymen for being loyal, in the face of death, and justice not smite the men who have aided in incarcerating them in a loathsome dungeon ‘! We must redeem our brethren. Our hearts ache to think of their sorrows. Cannot these rebels who are now in our Penitentiary, with others who will soon be there, be seat South and exchanged for the heroic martyrs of East Tennessee ? We would rejoice if the exchange oould be made. Let it be done if proper. If necessary, we will give two rebel priests for one loyal prisoner, and rejoioe that we had got the beat of the bargain.” Important From Washington, MELTING OE MEMBERS OF THE U. STATES CONGRESS. On Sunday last a meeting of the con servative members of Congress was held in Washington City. Mr. Crittenden presided, and thirty-five members were presont and signed tho resolutions, which were adopted, in substance, as follows : 1. That the Federal Constitution should be maintained intact. 2. That the relations of the States to the Federal Government are undisturbed by the war. 3. That the several States shall be re vested with all their rights and privileges under the Constitution. 4. That the doctrine of State necessity is arbitrary aud tyrannical and subver sive of all Constitutional Government. 5. That no mau should have his prop erty confiscated, except by trial and con viction in a court of law, with all the rights and privileges of a trial by jury. 6. That the acts of confiscation passed and meditated by the present Republican majority of Congress are wholly uncon stitutional. 7. That the emancipation of slaves di rectly or indirectly, by Congress, has no warrant in the Constitution. 8. That the acts of Congress this ses sion in this behalf, aro illegal and void. 9. That to administer the Government on any other principle is to establish a new and dangerous system—in fact, a despotism. Interesting from Fredeilckilinrg, The Richmond Examiner of the 16th, says : Wc have late advices from Fred ericksburg, which strongly imply the de sign of the Federal forces there under command of General King to retire to Washington. There had positively been no southward movement from there of any considerable portion of Gen. King’s forces. About sixty or seventy Yankee marauders had appeared at Bowling Green, in Caroline county; but there had been no demonstration towards Gordonsville or beyond the immediate objects of plunder in Caroline county. Last Friday night the Yankees destroy ed the bridgo across the Rapidan, with tho supposed object of facilitating their retreat to tho line of the Potomac. A Good One. Wc have boen told a very good anec dota of a lady living in Williamson coun ty, Tennessee, which will bear giviDg to the public. As the story runs, soma half dozen Federal officers rode up to her house one evening and asked to be fur nished dinner. The lady replied that dinner was over, and that she was not able to cook another herself. The offi cers answered that she had several ser vant women about the house who could do the cooking. “No,” replied the lady, “my negro women have all got above their business of late. They expect to marry Federal officers very soon, and I can do nothing with them.” It is need less to say that the officers “skedaddled” without parley.— Grenada Appeal. Stonewall Jackson.

Letter from Vlckthurg- Tj.e Confederate Iron-Clad War Steamer Arkansas —Particulars of the Terrible Engagement on the Misaiasipni—Five Federal Vessels Destroyed. Vicksburg/ July IG, 1862. The 15th of Juiy will be forever memo rable in the history of the devoted little city oi \ icksburg, which has already truly earned the title of “Queen City of the I alley. The great Confederate ram, Arkansas, which had lately been con structed on the lazoo river, being com pleted, her crew and ammunition all on board, and her noble and indomitable commander, Captain Isaac N. Brown, an old veteran of the once glorious United States navy—all ready to execute any order that might be given from head quarters, the vessel was ordered from the Yazoo river to Vicksburg, for the pur pose of clearing out the Southern federal fleet of mortar boats. In order to reach Vicksburg she had to run the gauntlet of the upper fleet, consisting of some forty gunboats and iron-clad rams, extending for a distance of some twenty-five miles. This Herculean feat was performed in the most dariDg and dashing manner. Having first to encounter a number of the enemy’s gunboats, she made a bold dash at them, and sunk one by collision wilh her ram; by a shot through the boiler another was blown up, and the entire crew, with everything else on board, was scattered broadcast over the turbid waters of the Mississippi. The mortality of this disaster must have been terrible to the Yankees, as the Arkansas on her eourse literally plowed her way through the helpless wretches in the water. Another of tho enemj’-gunboats was so badly injured that she hauled down the Federal flag. The Arkansas, however, did not stop to take prizes or prisoners, and kept on her way down. As she neared this goodly city, in the vicinity of the Yankee fleet above, in sight of our batteries, the cannonading became most terrific and the shells and shot from the infuriated enemy fell in showers about the plucky little craft as she was boldly steaming For way dowu within a few yards of their guns. But cn Bhe sped, undisturbed and undismayed, shaking off the monster shells as a dog shakes off the dripping water from his back. In a very short time the gallant Arkansas passed by our upper batteries, and in a few minutes more she was safely moored at the wharf before the city. Upon examination it was discovered that tho casualties amounted to ten killed, and a small number slightly wounded; and the boat sustained no injury what ever, with the exception of having her smoke stack so badly riddled that it was with difficulty the engineers could obtain draft enough to raise a sufficient quan tity of steam, and at one lime in tho hot test of the combat she had on but thirty pounds. Tho mortification of the Yankeo fleets above and below the city must have been truly agonizing, at seeing one little non descript press by the much lauded West ern gunboat fleet, which had but rooently destroyed almost the entire Confederate navy on the Mississippi before Memphis. One of their mortar boat3 below the city had become grounded, aud ns the Arkan sas approached the wharf, the Yankees tired their boat and blew her up to pres vent her from being captured. It is also reported that a number of their maga zines on shore were blown up, and a loud explosion from the upper fleet in addition to the burning flames visible indicated that another member of that fleet was also passing out of existence. As soon as the Yankees had recovered from their fright and trepidation, they again commenced their old game of shell ing tho city, and kept up firing at short intervals throughout the whole clay. An hour or two before night the bombard ment became very heavy, and it was soon discovered that a portion of the upper fleet was making preparations to run by our batteries to go to the aid of their brethren of the lower fleet. Our batteries opened on them with vigor and played sad havoo among them—the Arkansas be ing manned by as brave a set of men as ever fired a gun was as busy as a bee, and of all the shots fired by her crew, it is said but two missed their aim. Seven of the iron clad gun boats succeeded in get ting down; and as it was too dark to make any observations, it was impossible to ascertain tho character or extent of the injuries inflicted upon them. In this contest we lost one man by a chance shot, and the noble craft again came out almost unscathed—her injuries being of too trifling a character to pre vent her going into another fight imme diately. During the fight in the night the mortar boats below again commenced a terrific bombardment of the city, but without inflicting any damage upon life or property, further than the burning of one house; and it is an undecided question whether it was burned by means of ashell, or whether the conflagration originated from some other cause. The men in our batteries fought like heroes, and the ut most coolness, heroism and intrepidity was displayed throughout the whole ac tion ; and their conduct has called forth the highest commendation from the com manding officers, as well as all others conversant with the facts. The Arkansas is a success—a decided, glor ious success, and her commander, Capt. Brown, is a trump. Taking into consideration the distance and immensity of the force against her, as she was running the terrible gauntlet, and the immense damage which she inflicted upon the Yankee fleet, we must regard her adventurous trip as the most decided naval victory of this war. The Confederate Navy on the Mississippi now consists of one iron clad ram, the Arkansas; and she is destined to clear out the entire fleet of the Federal Govern ment on this river. She has proved that she can withstand anything that can be brought against her, and it is to be hoped that she will shortly proceed under her gallant Captain to sink the mortar fleet below, after which she can take her time and destroy those above at leisure. News has been received here that President Davis has demanded of Lincoln the surrender of Picayune Butler, as amenable to the law3 of the Confederate States, for the hanging of the patriot Mumford, who tore down the Union flag from the mint at New Orleans before the city was surrendered, and that the Federal Major- General McCall is to be held as hostage for Butler. This is regarded as the best news of the season in this city. If Lincoln should re fuse to render up the brutal Butler, let every Yankee prisoner hang for him. EVENING CITIZEN. Yankee Conscription Act. The bill introduced in the “Yankee Sen ate on Tuesday, the Bth inst., is said to be virtually a conscription act. It em powers the President to fix the time for the militia to serve when ho calls them out, and to organize them like the vol unteer forces, that is, draft at hi3 dis cretion. Senator Grimes offered tho following additional sections as an amendment: And be it further enacted, That there shall be no exemption from the perform ance of military duty under this or any of the militia laws of the United States on account of color or lineage, but when ever the militia shall be called into ser vice, all loyal, able-bodied male persons between the ages now fixed by the laws of the United States shall be called to the defence of the country. Be it further enacted, That when the militia shall be called into the service of the United States under this or any other law of the United States, the Pres ident of the United States shall have full power and authority to organize them into battalions, regiments, brigades and divisions, according to their nationality, race or color, as he may deem for the public interest.— Rich.

A Yankee cor.vespondent speaking of Lincoln’s visit to McClellan’s army says: He seemed in excellent spirits, and in his conversation with the different Gen erals expressed his pride at the gallant condnct of the army and of its leaders. The soldiers, as he rode before them, vied in their cheers with the roar of the can non, which belched forth their stately national salutes as he approached, each several division giving the head of the nation such a welcome as to assure him that he was among friends, and men not so exhausted by the fatigues of the re oent awful days as to be unable to give full rotundity and volume to the tone of the vociferous greeting. Mr. Lincoln rode at the right of Gen. McClellan, holding with one hand the reins which checked a spirited hi:i- o c, and with the othor a large-sized si. .t pipe hat, which latter was regarded win unu sual interest by the army, as the first head-covering of the kind seen in many months. The President rode rapidly along the lines, bowing and smiling as he went, Gen. McClellan, meantime, waving his fatigue cap, and evidently not at all ashamed of the veteran army he was exhibiting. Stopping only to shake hands and to say a single congratulatory word to the Generals. Mr. Lincoln pass ed from division to division, along the whoia line, cheers meeting and following him, and cannon telling their salutes. It was past sundown, and as late as nine in the evening, before the last salute and last cheer heard in the distance told that the ceremony of the review was over. The whole thing was admirably conduc ted, and tended visibly to elevate the spirits of the army. Mr. Lincoln, after a little lively conversation with General McClellan and his staff, returned to the steamer, considerably fatigued after his long horseback ride, but yet undoubted ly abld to devote some hours to confer* ences with the Commanding General, the burden of which talk, not having been present, I am not able to report, but I fancy it did not relate entirely to the de bilitating heat of the day, nor to the pic turesque beauty of the place. To-day the President makes the voyage back to Fortress Monroe, familiar with the con dition and position of the Army of the Potomac, having doubtless left behind something valuable in tho way of advice, and may be promises. This visit certainly has £reat significance in connection with the recent great movement, and that other rapidjourney to West Point.— Your readers can iathom its meaning, perhaps, as well as I, with this advantage, that tor them to guess and to think will not be contraband, while the correspondent under parole would be pretty likely to regret even the shrewdness ot'his published surmises. Fortress Monroe, July o.—The President seemed in excellent spirits on his return, and greeted General Burnside with much cordial ity. The Ariel came alongside tlio Alice Price, and the President dined on board with Gener als Burnside, Van Yliet, Fix, Naglec, Reno, and Parke, the Assistant Secretary of War, Col. Frank P. Blair, and ihe Captain of the English frigate Jason. Immediately after dinner the Presidential party re-embarked. and the Ariel steamed for Washington. The English frigate fired tho usual salute of twenty-one guns as the pretty steamer, with it's streaming flags, moved swiftly past her. Four P. M.—By the Warner, from Hunter's Landing I learn that on the arrival of the steamer, with President Lincoln and Post master-General Blair on board, Gen. McClellan, with several other military gentlemen, visited him on board, after which the President and the General held a private conference for about half an hour. They then proceeded in an ambulance to Gen. Sumner's headquarters, when they took to horse, with the view of vis iting the line of entrenchments. When the President’s visit became known, there was on all hands the liveliest interest manifested to see him, and wherever he went he was greeted with tho wildest enthusiasm. Coming into the trenches, the President dis mounted, and, ascending the ramparts of tho newest fortification, briefly addressed the sol diers. He said he had come to s e for him self, and to know the situation of affairs, and that he should go back satisfied. - It was said they had been whipped. It was not so, and never would be. He knew the men he saw around him would prove equal to the task be fore them, and never give up without going into Richmond. Ho had been unable to sleep from anxiety, but after he had seen and heard, he should go back to Washington satisfied that it was all right with the army of the Potomac. He declared his confidence in the army and its commander, all the men and all the officers were all, alike, men deserving the confidence of the country. The President said he did not come to make a speech, but he could not resist saying a few words. He was cheered at every sentence. *, General Banks’ Retreat and the C ontrabandi. Ia the House of Representatives a res olution was adopted directing the Com mittee on the Coduct of the War to en quire whether thousands of “contra bands,” as alleged in the newspapers, were allowed government transportation on General Banks’ retreat from Stras burg, while white people, including sick and wounded soldiers, were compelled to walk. Gen. Banks denies the charge, but admits that he “gave a lift” to a small “contraband,” which he tells in the following very sad and pathetic sto ry : When at considerable distance on our march we overtook a small party on foot. My attention was attracted by a little girl about eight years of age, who was toddling over the stones by the wayside, and I asked “howfar she had travelled?” “From Winchester,” she said. We were then about twenty-seven miles on our march. I requested the cannoneers to give hor a lift, and the gallant men who had hung upon the rear of the column for its defense the greater part of the distance answered with alacrity. No successful efforts were made to ascertain her complexion, but it is not impossible that she belongs to the class referred to in the resolution, and that her little limbs had been strengthened by some vague dream of liberty to bo lost or won on that hurried night march. - Gen. Jackson on Fighting. “Now, Mr. 8.,” said the General, if any one attacks you, I know how you’ll fight with that big black stick of yours. You’ll aim right for his head. Well, sir, ten chances to ono he’ll ward it off .; and if you do hit him, you won’t bring him down. No, sir,” taking the stick in his own hands, “you hold the stick so, and punch him in the stomach, and you’ll drop him. I’ll tell you how I found that out. When I was a young man, pracs ticing law in Tennessee, there was a big bullying fellow that wanted to pick a quarrel with me, and so trod on my toes. Supposing it accidental, I said nothing. Soon after, he did it again, and I began to suspect what was his object, and was confirmed in my suspicion when he came up a third time, pushing me violently, and evidently meaning fight. He was a man of immense size, and one of the very biggest men I ever saw. As quick as a flash I snatohed a small rail from the top of a fence, and gave him the point of it full in hia stomach. Sir, it doubled him up. He fell at my feet, and I stamped on him. Soon he got up, sav age, and was about to fly at me like a tiger. The bystanders made as though they would interfere. Says I, “gentle men, stand back, give me loom, that’s all I ask, and I’ll manage him.” With that I stood ready, with the rail pointed. He gave me one look, and turned away, a whipped man, sir, and feeling like one. So, sir, I say to you, if any villain As saults you, give him the pint in his belly.” Brother Generals, A correspondent of the Richmond Dis patch, writing from Charlotte, N. C., says: This is the home of Major General D. H. Hill. For years he has been Profes sor in the Military Institute here. Mrs. Stonewall Jackson is here on a visit to her sister, Mrs. Gen. Hill. When Gen. Hill was Professor in Washington Col lege, Lexington, Ya., his wife’s sister paid his family a visit, and Gen. Stone wall, then Professor in the Military In stitute, formed her acquaintance. Thus it happens that these two brave men are brothers-in-law. Their father in law is a Presbyterian clergyman, and lives near this place. By the way, both Gen. Jack son and Gen. Hill are elders in the Pres byterian church. Gen. Hill's influence here is unbounded. The Northern Congress has [passed the bill, compelling all masters of vessels sailing to foreign ports, and all claim agents to take the oath of allegiance. Tire Abolition of Slavery. A dispatch dated Washington 14th inat., says: Tho following moyeage from the Presi dent was delivered to Congrece to day: Fellow- CiiLcns of the Senate and House of Representatives. % Herewith is the draft of the bill to com pensate any State which may abolish slavery within its limits, the passage of which, substantially as presented, 1 re spectfully and earnestly rcccomweud. ABRAIIAM LINCOLN. Beit enacted by the Senate and Bouse of Representatives of the United States of Atner tea in Congress assembled, That whenever the President of the United States shall be satisfied that any State shall have law fully abolished slavery within and throughout said State, cither intuit Late ly or gradually, it shall be the duty of the President, assisted by the Secretary of the Treasnry, io prepare and deliver to said Stale an amountof six percent, inter est beating bonds of the United States equal to the aggregate value at dollars per bead of all the slaves within said State as reported by the census of ’GO, the whole amount to be delivered at once if the abolishment be immediate, or in equal annual instalments, if it be gradual, in terest to begin running on each bond at the time of delivery and not before. And be it farther enacted, That if any State having so received any such bonds shall at any time afterward, by law, re introduce or tolerate slavery withiu its limits, contrary to the act of abolishment upon which such bonds shall have been received, said bonds so received by said State shall at once he null ami void in whosesoever hands ib*y may be, and such State shall refund to the States all interest which may have been paid vu such bonds. The House Select Committee on Eman cipation in the Border States, will prob ably report on the subject to morrow. The bill was referred in ton Senate to the Finance Committee, and in the House to the Select Committee, especially charged with the consideration of the Border State question. There is little probability that it will be passed this session, or at any time, in the shape in which it is presented. Letter from Virginia. A letter from an officer in the army, written to his mother near this place, has been kindly placed at our disposal. We make tho following extracts : Camp 15tii Ala. Vols , 4 Miles from Richmond, July 11. j After traveling and fighting for some two weeks, I Bnatch a few moments to Rhow you all where and how I am. We reached this point yesterday, after hav ing been following the enemy for the last week and doing picket duty within a mile or two of his entrenchments. We are nearly all worn out with constant and heavy marches and hard fighting, and need rest greatly. 1 thought that our fight of June Bth was hot. enough, but had no conception of what we had to en counter. Our Friday’s fight was a great deal worse. God in his iuerey protected me, when men were falling on all sides like leaves in autumn. Captain Weems joined ua the day before the fight, and was the first man stru ;k in our company. He was a true man, and brave as a lion. J He died a soldier’s death, and deeply j will we mourn his loss. A piece of shell I struck me on the right arm, after burst ing right over my head, but only bruised me. If the edge of it had struck me, it would have torn my arm to pieces. We i pursued the enemy, and on Tuesday were marched to the front, subjected to j a most terrific cannonade, but with no damage. We carried 350 men of cur reg , iment into the fight, and lost in killed and wounded nearly half. You have seen no notice of us, dear mother, in the papers, but I can assure you that Ewell's division and Trimble’s brigade did their duty nobly, and (hat upon a long and fatiguing march. We had not been rest ing in camp or entrenchments, but pitch ed right in after hard marching. — Gen. Hardee and tlie Arkansas Raw Recruit. An anecdote is told of General Hardee, which shows, in a very amusing light, the kind of material out of which an ar my of volunteer soldiery is formed. About the beginning of the war, the General was forming the nucleus of an army in Southeast Missouri, and being a great disciplinarian, was very active in teaching his men the rules and duties of a soldier’s life. It happened one night that a sentinel had been placed to guard some stores near tho General’s headquarters. Returning home rather late from a tour of inspection, ho passed the sentinel a few paces from his door, and not being honored with the usual salute of “present arms,” said : “Don’t you know who I am?” “No, sir,” re plied the uncouth Arkansian; “who are you?” “J atn General Hardee, sir!” Whereupon the raw recruit advanced a few paces, put his hand out for a shake, and said in a most familiar tone: “My name, General, is Bill Dickerson, and I’m right glad to make your acquaint ance ?” Tho General was too much amused at the soldier’s innocent, manner to deal harshly with him, but quietly pointing out what his duty was, he retired to his cot—to muse, probably, on the trials and troubles of manufacturing soldiers at short notice. New York Dry Goods Market. The New York Express, of Thursday afternoon, says: This is the first day in this generation that dry goods are not for sale All the importers have declined to make sales or name any price for their goods, and all credits are at an end for the present. Some of our jobbing houses have put up a notice in their stores that they decline all sales, except in Small lots, a few pieces or po ; and most of these silk goods, j They box up and await the day when a ■ change will allow them to know what they are worth. The same remarks ap ply to all kinds of imported goods. Many orders for fancy goods in Europe have been countermanded, and nothing but a few staples are wanted. The high rate of duty, and the premium on gold to pay for the same, will drive many jobbers from importing goods again. These are strange times, when dry goods are not for sale, and when merchants, who usu ally “drum” so hard for trade, prefer j not to see the face of the buyer. From New Orleans. The promised bombardment of Gal veston has not taken place. On the 4th instant, a skirmish took place near that place between a detach ment of Federals who had landed, and a body of Texan troops. The Yankees were forced to re-embark “promptly” and then the Federal blockading ship opened fire on the Texans. The report of the recapture of Baton Rouge is contradicted. Tne Estafetta says Butler has received authority from the War Department to recruit new Fed eral regiments in New Orleans, and has appointed an officer to perform that duty. By another order, all auction sales are null and void, unless the auctioneer has taken the oath of allegiance. Another forbids the assembling of citizens in groups or crowds on the streets, because “it has become dangerous to thp public peace.” * “Don’t raise such a dust—walk your horses as you pass the General’s head quarters,” said a sentinel before General Grant’s residence in Memphis, as a car riage was passing. The lady occupant of the carriage, a well known widow of strong Southern proclivities, answered as it drove rapidly by : “Its our dust, if you don’t like it leave here and go to your own dirty country.” The New York Post estimates the total value of the veseels and cargoes seized daring the past year and sent to Key West, while attempting to run the block ade, at $1,379,189 68. , General Howell Cobb was lately re ceived at one of the Georgia Hospitals, in Richmond, sick of camp fever. File Eoatk.ru Expr*.* Com^y Eds. Sun ‘ Recent developments n 1 \ tive to the management of ihe Souilu-rn Telegraph lines, aro very t tho conviction th>> .'iomn. in that one of our most importHnt inie.; of communication / ■ virtually a, the hands ‘• and tinder the control of our an,,ies , the’ Yankees. Tli>’ however, u * being 1 investigated by this conus:*n.by, su t 1 trust they v. , ;-i - cute ihem-Ucruu til it i. io all uiiouta and purposes a Southern company, managed and con trailed by Southern men. luti mutely c .unected with the Tele graph, aud not lees in its importance to us, is what is now known as the “South ern Express Company.” This company has its agents and depotß at every im portant oily, town or village in the Con federate :-.ates. Its business has grown to be enormous, the profits from which since the war have certainly been very large. Their facilities for obtaining mi nute and correct information is better if anything than the Government has it self. Connect with this concern the tel egraph lines, (and there is but little doubt, on my mind but that they are un der the same general control of Mr. Sand ford, of New York,) and no one can fail to see at aglancs their power for evil if in the hands and under control of ene mies to the Confederacy. If lam asked why I feel any uneasiness or appreheu sion on this subject, 1 answer: It has been satisfactorily esiablished that the “American Telegraph Company,” loca ted in the City of New York, ami under the direction of one Mr. Sandford, of that city, as President, transferred verbally to W. S. Morris nil his rights and inter est to the Southern Telegraph lines; that since that transfer Morris has been carrying out the Yankee contract with the W isbingtou and New Orleans Tele graph Company by paying them a rent of G per cent, per annum on their stock, while it is well known that the line has made at least s*> per ceni. This same mau Sandford, I understand, is also Pres ident of the Express companies, and it is but reasonable to suppose that the same arrangement was made by Sand ford for them. Again, the Express Com pany has been called upon frequently to make nu exhibit of their stockholders and officers. This has been pertinacious ly refused, and up to the present mo- 1 ment, they have failed to respond to a , reasonable and just demand of the pub lic to place themselves right un the re cord. At a few points they have been forced by the community to go before committees and make an exhibit, but this was simply a statement on paper, in which but few of those who received it hud any confidence; but in the absence of legal proof to the contrary, they al lowed it to pass. I will call attention to another (to my mind) very significant fact. The whole con cern is under the management of and control of Northern horn men, and iu most cases, the identical men placed there by Mr. Sandford, (or thp company) before the war. \ou cannot find a Southern born and bred man in charge cf any impor tant office, and scarcely one in a subordi nate position. Now, why is this so ? Are not Southern men as capable of manag ing an Express Company, as they are to control and direct railroads and banking companion? Huw comes it that the original Yankee employees, agents, &c , are still retained in charge of this com pany, to the exclusion of Southern men? Is it reasonable to snppose that if this company had passed into the hands of Southern stockholders they would rule out Southern men? I do not intend to charge these agents and employees with disloyalty to the South, because I have no proof of the fact, but 1 do contend i that we ought not to allow Northern men to have exclusive control and manage mont of any institution so fraught with danger and ruin to us, if they were so disposed; while I am not prepared to assert positively that there is such a thing as an underground express, be tween tho North and South, still I know enough to raise a very strong suspicion in iny mind that it does exist. If so, what hinders a communication daily to Lincoln of every important movement throughout the entire length and breadth of the Confederacy? The manner in which this concern is officered and man aged, forces the further conviction on my mind, that, it is either under the control and direction of the confidential agents of the Northern company, who will disburse their earnings to the North ern stockholders, at the termination of the war, or they are hiding tho real own ership from the government and the peo ple, to prevent its confiscation, and in the end to appropriate the property to their own use. If in all this lam wrong; the Express and Telegraph Companies are the bona fide property of Southern men, they owe it to themselves, and to the people of the Confederate States, to dismiss their Northern employees, and put their busi ness in the hands of men to the “manor born men who would give a satisfac tory guarantee by their known fealty to the South, that .under no circumstances, would, or could they be used for the in jury of tho Southern cause. South. From New Orleans We have already published the infor mation that Butler had gone to Baton Rouge. We know now what the object of his visit was. It seems that two regi ments of the enemy—the one from lowa and the other from Massachusetts —fell out on the negro question, the former charging tho other with fighting for noth ing else than the negro. From words, they came to blows, and an intestine war raged with considerable fury. Butler puts a stop to it and returned to his head quarters ; but he had hardly reached New Orleans before the trouble began again. Gen. Fhipley then went up; but we have no information of what ho ac complished. The exact condition of Baton Kontre is not known, or what our army meditares in respect to it. The opinion was that it will not be long in the hands cf the Yankees. We are assured that over two hundred tombs in New Orleans cemeteries had been broken into by the VandAls, in search of treasure and other valuables. This is in keeping with the brutality of Butler. There is a smothered volcano in the city. The loyal people are so angered and distressed at their condition, as to be hardly sane : yet they are watched— so dogged by detectives, that they are in no safety except in silence. This pressure on them only provokes them the more, as is natural, and when their pent up wrath does break out, wo to the wretches who aro doing this great wrong. —Mobile Tribune, 20 th. . From Nashville. A gentleman, of this city, learns from a citizen of Nashville that he has late in formation from that city, that Andy Johnson has resigned his Military Gover norship and returned to Washington, and that he is succeeded by Wm. B. Campbell, who indicates already a disposition to surpass even Andy in his despotic rule. He has summoned all the merchants of Nashville to go forward and take the oath of allegiance, an act of tyranny which Andy had omited. He will reap his reward in due time. Andy had, no doubt, a suspicion that his doom was near at hand, and left to avoid it— Knoxville Register, 19 th. Departed.

The commissary and quartermastera's departments were recently replenished with new ciotbiDg. &c , all of which have fallen into the hands of the enemy. The rebel Governor, I sham G Harris, and Andrew EwiDg, active secessionist here, were known to be at Beersheba Springs, near Sparta, a few day’s since, organizing tho raid on Murfreesboro', which may, it is apprehended, be ex tended to the capital of tho State. The public are still in a great state of excitement, maDy families having left. The Louisvillo cars were crowded with alarmed Cottou speculators and adven turers. It is aUo reported that the rebels have taken Lorergne, fifteen miles from Nash ville, and that Kirby Smith is advaucitt on Nashville, from Chattanooga, wits 15,000 men.
