Senatobia, July 8-—Northern dates to the30th ult, are received- The , following is a synopsis of the news: Hancock’s corps was severely handled by A. P. Hill on the 22d. near the Weldon Railroad, losing 2 500 men, but afterwards occupied a strong posi- tion. The Federal casnalities during the last week, around Petersburg, were from six to eight thou sand men. An army correspondent savs the object of Grant's manoeuvers is to relieve Hunter and obtain per manent jossession of the Weldon Railroad thus severing the Confederacy. Foster is makings movement on Chaffin’s Bluff, the success of which will render the capture of Fort Drewry, the rebel rams and Richmond easy. An Indianapolis correspondent says the naviga tion of the Ohio is extremely dangerous. Drafting in Indiana is played out. Gen. Wharton captured and destroyed, on the 18th. between Kingston and Dalton, five frieght trains loaded with supplies Captain Glover also. nearResaea, captured two trains with supplies. The Chattanooga Gazette of the 25th reports the rppulse of Gen Pillow, ard the capture of Col onel Faulkner, 7th Kentucky (Federal,) at Lafay ette. The Federal loss was 100: the ‘'rebel” loss 100 dead cu the field [a Yankee lie.] During the debate in the House oil the 25th. Fernando Wood spoke for peace.

Let the steamers be supposed to average 600 hales cotton—one-half taken hy the Confederate States Government each trip under their uniform “ Regulations'* applicable to vessels of the- Con federacy only, 300 bales at the Wilmington prices, will make a difference in each tr p, in favor of the Foreigners of $223,800 each steamer. I pretend not to know the cause, or causes of this uniform partiality, by which Mr. Memininger not only places the Foreigners so far above the citizens of the Confederacy, but above the States composing it also, and bath in express violation of the laws of Congress. If it be in the execution of the compact made by his agents abroad, by which he is compelled to deliver cotton at five pence per lb. in Wimington for which he could get two dol lars per lb. there; then, all will admit, he has added another, to many previous, demonstrations of his unfitness for his office. Those bonds were selling in London recently at 65 per cent., (more thaw-one-third less than par) so that parties deal ing iu them, get their cotton in Wilmington for less than seven cents per lb. dare; but he shall not restrain me of my ner- senal liberty, except upon “due process Of laV.” ’1 he unconstitutional and monstrous “Order I hirty eight,” under which alone I was arrested thirteen months ago, was defied and spit upon at your State convention of 1863, by the gallant gentleman who bore the standard as your candi date for Lieutenant-Governor, and hy every De mocratic press and public speaker ever since, is dead. From the first it was against the Consti tution and laws, and without validity ; and all proceedings tinder it were aud utterly are null and void, and of no effect. _ 3 he indgnaut voice of condemnation long since went forth form the vast majority of the people^ and press of America, and from all free countries in Europe with entire unanimity. And oAA.uHj, ruo, tne “platform” oFan earnest, numerous and most formidable convention of the phatic letter of the acceptance by the candidate of that convention, Gen. John C. Fremont—the first candidate of the Republican party for the Presidency eight years ago, upon the rallying cry of free speech, and p. free press—give renewed hope that, al last, the reign of arbitrary power is about to be brought to au end in the United States. It is neither just nor fit, therefore, that the wrongs inflicted under “Order Thirty-eight,” and the other edicts and acts of such power, should any longer be endured—certainly not by m8 alone. But every ordinary means of redress has first been exhausted : yet either by the direct agency of the Administration and its subordi nates, or because of want of jurisdiction in the civil courts to meet a case which no America l ever in former times conceived to be possible here, all have failed. Counsel applied in my be half to an unjust judge for a writ of habeas cor pus. It was denied; aud now the privile/e of that writ is suspended by act of Congress and Executive order, in every State. The Democrat ic convention of Ohio, one year ago, by a resolu tion formally presented through a committeeuf your best and ablest rnen, iu person- at Washing ton, demanded of the President in behalf of a very large minority of the people, a revocation of the edict of banishment. Pretending that the public safety then required it, he refused, saying, at the same time, that it would afford him pleasure to ctfmpiy as soon as he could by any means be made to believe that the public safety would not suffer by it. One year has elapsed ; yet this hollow pretence is still tacitly asserted, and to-day I am here to 1 prove it uniouuded in fact. I appealed to the His cotton transactions hare cost the Govern- : supreme Court of the United States, and because ment ten times the first cost of the cotton in the 1 Congress had never conferred jurisdiction in be- excess of cost of the provisions for the armyj ha, [ of a citizen tried by a tribunal unknown for ,, .i A , . * s-ch purposes to the laws, and expressly turbid caused by the ontlay-and if this be a samp'e of deu b P the Constitution, it were powerless to re- the manner of disposing* of it, the Treasury will (tress the wrong.

Then the clarion voice of our general gave the orful order, “fire.” The first fifty lines of the enemy melted away like frost before several- summer suus.— The others, however, advanced with sunken courage to the slaughter pen. They fought under a terrible disadvantage. Our men were protected bv breast works, erected with splendid skill. They alto fought on this terrible day when the thermometer was 144, with the advantages of shade aad breeze. The air above our heads was so black with these bullets as to entirely obscure the sun, (even more so than at Resaca, ride, report of that memorable engage ment by St. John, etc., etc.,) and the motion of the atmosphere, caused by the impetus of the enemy’s balls and shells, gave us the advantage of a brisk and : lively breeze. Thus by the malevolent fury of our in fernal enemies we fought under a dense shade and a sweeping breeze, while they were exposed to a scorch ing suu and siinoou-like heat. Sic semper tyrannis. F6r ninety-five hours the batt’e raged with feaiful fury. Line after.line, column after column, fell before us in their mad assault. At length our effoits for slaughter became ineffectual. This was - owing to the fact that the piles of dead were heaped so high in front of our "works that our men could not get high enough to shoot over them. Gen. Bullie seeing this stale of affairs, with Hint mas terly strategy and intuitive military skill that 1ms ever been his most prominent virtue and that has saved this army on several previous occasions, seized a 20 pound parrot gun, aud followed by A. A. G.H.Um- bug and the est of the staff, similarly armed climbed to the tops of the surrounding oaks and poured fearful enfilading fires of grape and canister into the retreating enemy. No human nerve could resist such terrible punishment. Such awful slaughter was never before g en since the invention of firearms. 'The corps of bokcr, Howard, Palmer, aud several other generals, tP.TLWinerqy* .to. '<W‘ t<m- aw-WrOn* ^oine seventeen huudred thousand and nine men, besides a large assort ment of officers and other heavy guns. Our loss was not slight. A shell exploded in the bowels of Gen. Bullie, rendering him uneasy for an hour or so. Fortunately he is now liimseif again.— Capt. H. Umi ug'also had several legs taken off, but has entirely recovered. All the staff were more or less killed. The general and staff lost each two hun dred and fifty horses. In fact this furious contest was characterized in the same remarkable manner as all the other battles of this campaign—i. e. the general and his staff did alt the fighting and won all the victo ries, while the privates stood at "parade rest” and looked qnietly on tire gallant deeds of their officers, verbum sat. Hoping that Bullie's brigade may have the siuiplejustice of this publication done them. I am truly yours, or anybody elses. T. Oaov. Wayside Dome at Cordon Mr. EditorAt the request of the Secretary I seud you theMiuutes of the Meeting held in Gordon, to-day, to organize a Soldier’s Wayside Home in this place. To say that a Wayside Home should be organized iere is not saydng enough,to say one must be orga nized is perhaps saying too much, but, to use the lan guage of the President who was elected, (Colonel .Rivers) “Where there is a will there is a way.’ Wilkinsou County has made a pretty good start for only three districts, the subscription iu the same amounting to over ($5,000,) five thousand dollars, but glie can and will do more. You will perceive that you ale requested to publish the proceedings aud I desire to add my feeble request that you urge upon your subscribers the absolute necessity of subscribing to this truly laudable ob ject. The Gordon Wayside Home will soon be a reality and our sick, wounded,starving heroes will be blessed with the sight of ample and substantial cheer upon their arrival or departure from home. Col. Rivers the President elect is the very.nian for the place. He is an active,energetic working tnnn and to add to these qualifications he is devoted heart and soul to the project aud is determined to know no such word shook this Continent—\ Gen.

The proviso reads thus : “That nothing in this act shull be construed to prohibit the Confederate States, or any of them, from exporting any of the ar ticles herein enumerated, on their own account”— Now, it that means anything, it means t,o place the Slates on perfect terms ofequulity with the Confeder-’ ale States, otherwise, why was it inserted ? Under Secretary Memmingei's interpretation, a State, at least the State of Georgia, has no more advantages than an individual, for the humblest citizen can, by complying with the terms demanded ofthe States, en joy every privilege the State does. Mr. Memmingcr justifies his interpretation,on the ground, that the law requires that" the regulations shall be “uniform.” His uniformity consists in permi-ting the State of Virginia to do thut which he refuses to the State of Georgia.— In this—the steamer City of Petersbuig, chartered of a private company in Viigima, Inis Iw-en permitted to M and return three times, w ithout yielding one half of her loom to the Government ! The State of North Carolina litis teen permitted to do the same thing repeatedly wit h the steamer A. D. Vance. The steam er Little Ada is, to all intents and purposes, the piop- ertv of the State of Georgia. She has been chartered by the State to take out her cotton exclusively, n*d so long as that charter exists so long does she own and control her. Mr. Sneed savs, “soenieful has been tlie Secretary of the rights and even feelings ofthe State,” ice. I heg to take issue with him on that point so tar as the State of Georgia is concerned. Mr. Memininger has “uniformly permitted the States of Virginia ami North Carolina to import supplies duties free, yet the Collector at Wilmington was directed not to permit the blankets and oilier uipulics of the State of.Gepuria Mr. Sneed further says—“the whole matter in contra- versy is simply whether the Confederacy shall have eqnnl rights of shipment on board the Little Ada with the State of Georgia.” IIow stands the case 1 The Confederacy claims one half of the State of Georgia's vessel at. just about one-fourth of the rat* the State chartered her at. I am satisfied, if the Confederacy will join the State on equal terms, the State will relin quish one half of her charter in the steamer to her- By such an arrangement, the Confederacy will getout ten times as mnch cotton ns she now does under her regulations. . But for these regulations the 10,000 bales of cotton that were destroyed in Wilmington would have been oil tiie other side and to the credit of the Government and its citizens. If the pioviso of the act, intended to place the State on equal terms with the Confederate States, w hy dots Mr. Memminger refuse the State of Geor gia that privilege which he is daily assuming for the Confederacy, viz - The chartering of ships to take out whole cargoes of cotton? Would the Sec retary yield one half of such room to the State of Georgia, were slie to demand it, and that, too, at a freight less than one forth of what he pays the owners of the vessels? If he would not. then why aud upon what grounds does he demand such terms from the State of Geoigia? Mr. Sneed’s blind prejudice against Gov. Brown m'ny cause him to continui his assaults upon him, but they will not deter the Governor from protec ting, when lie has the power, and when he has not, of protesting against any assault made upon the dignity and sovereignty of the State of Geor- gta.

Mr. Frank G. Watson, ‘ordnance agent for the ! Gen.

He cross- j coats, and then put into execution one of those ed the river on the 23d June, and brings late, in- ‘ teresting and encouraging intelligence He reportes that all the available cavalry of the department, some 20,000 in number, had started for Missouri, under command of Gen. Wharton of Texas. Brig. Gen. Joseph Shelby, he informs us, bad crossed the Arkansas river with 2500 men, and was already in Missouri. Gen Marmaduke had al so crossed the Arkansas, and Brig- Gen Jaa.

MsJ Gen Buck ner has command in Arkansas, and Gen. Magru d< Tbe Yankees have evacuated little Rock. Mr. Watson says that the report that Gen. R.

About twilight Perry’s brigade, now commanded by Gen. Finnegan, aucceeded in swinging around, and brought up in rear of the enemy. A volley or two in the rear put the enemy to thinking, and another volley or two brought about a very lively double-quick on their part. We succeeded in se curing only four hundred and eighty-tbrec of the invaders, the remainder running so swiftly that that it was impossible to overtake them. The prisoners were marched into the city yes terday fia-enoou, about 10 o’clock, and turned over to Major Bridgeford, General Lee's Provost Manhal- There were ten commissioned officers among the number, but none higher than the rank of Colonel. These prisoners, in point of appearance or morals, are no improvement upon former instalments. They seem to havejbeen col lected from every quarter of the globe, both civ ilized and uncivilized, and elicited from a spectator our vicinity the remark, “That Grant bad scraped all creation with a fine tooth comb for men to re- inforce bis depleted ranks.” Men of Ohio ! You have already vindicated j’our right to hear : it is now my duty to assert my right to speak. Wherefore as to the sole of fense lor which I was arrested, imprisoned and banished—free speech in criticism and condemna tion of the Administration—an Administration fitly described in a recent public paper by one of its early supporters, as “marked at home by its disregard of constitutional rights, by its viola tions of personal liberty and the liberty of the press ; and its crowning shame, by its abandon ment of the right of asylum, a right especially dear to all free nations abroad-” I repeat it here to-day, and will again, and jet again, so loDg as I live, or the Constitution and our present form of government shall survive. The words then spoken and the appeal at that time made and now enforced by one year more of taxation and debt, and of blood and disaster, entreating the people to change the public servants and their polity, not by force, but peaceably, through the ballot- box, I now, and here reiterate in the utmost ex tent. and with all their significancy- I repeat them, one and all, in no spirit of challenge or bravado, but as earnest, sober, solemn truth and warning to the peopfe. We learn that Gen. Hindman was thrown from bis horse on the 4th apd severely injured. with their assistance he cannot tail. He seems to rely so much upon their influence and personal attentions, or I really should say attractions that he almost said, that, with the animating presence of the ladies at the wavside table, that the soldiers would not require pork and bread: the women being sufficient with him to constitute a meal.

Evacuation ou Roswell.—We have just met our young friend Capt. Will, Clark, of Missouri, • commanding the Roswell Battalion, who is march ing through with his command, en ronte for Tur ner's Ferry. The Captain was in command at Roswell, and was ordered to evacuate the town on Monday night. Roswell was evacuated at 8 A. M. yester day, and the bridge on the Chattahoochee River burned at 11, when a brigade of the Yankee Gene- pied the post after a hea- ► 4th Tennessee Cav- keep-the Cotton and Wooleu Mills in operation. Capt. Clark brought down with him, as prison- • er, the Yankee Capt, Austin, of the 8tb'Kansaa Infantrj’, captured by his command near the Pa per Mills, between Roswell and Marietta. Gen Phillips' paper mill, at Roswell, was burn ed on Tuesday morning" The Gen. sent them word that “the mill belonged to a m*n who had sought them from the beginning of the wsr, and who would continue to fight them to the bitter end; that he had been taught from childhood to hate them as enemies to him and his, and that ho would die hating them; that ho did not ask any favors from them, and they might burn to their hearts’content.” These bold words of defi ance, as a matter of course, did not have any influ ence iu protecting the property. It was disman tled completely before the proprietor retreated.— He remained in sight of the place uutil be saw the flames consume it.—At. Intel. 7th. . ——— Joe Brown’s Pets Under Fire.—We are per mitted, says the Atlanta Appeal, to make the fol lowing extract from a letter from Gen. G. VV. Smith to a gentleman in this city. Gen. Smith is not given to expletives and adverbs, and means always wbat he says. “The enemy ran up square against my State troops yesterday about 5 p. m. The cavalry forced back and passed through our lines, and the Yankees came on us right strong. Some misap prehension of orders caused a iittlc confusion for a few moments only upon the left of our line, and perhaps twenty men left the trenebeis. but were back in a few minutes. The militia behaved ve* rv creditably; they stood their ground and stop- jfed the advance of the enemy. We had only eix rnen wounded and two missing; the dirt they had thrown up saving them from much loss, and en abled them to hold tbeir ground against superior forces. They have rendered a good sei vice to the army and the country, and have found ont that every ball fired by the enemy don’t kill a man.— l ho militia will do. I watched them closely, and consider them all right—not yet veterans—but they will fight.” Tho crops of corn, oats and wheat in Nbrth Eas tern Georgia, are spoken of by the Athens paperf as unusually fine.
