The “Associet and and llie Hr. publican- It is not often that we trouble the public with the but iness 3Haas of the Republican ; but we. \nvHe''tbe attention oi our readers to the following .fetter received at this office some days ago. Oar article, to which it refers, is doubtless borne in mind. The threat, contained in Mr. Pritchard'S letter has been executed, it is -due to us to say, without protest from our selves, as this is the only notice v.o have taken of the matter : Avgu.-ta, Ga., June sth, 1562 Mr IK- W.

I do not wi~h any party to take my press re ports against their will. • espeetfully. Wm. ll.’ Pritciiakd, Jk. As r< girds Mr. Pritchard’s ability to satisfy us that his agent was not at fault, we wholly deny it, and have only to refer to the Richmond papers of Monday and Tuesday last, for the proof that he has’ shamefully neglected the duties of his office, and imposed upon the Press. Had Mr. G>aeme shut himself tip in his room, omitted all effort to obtaiu ihfeimation concerning the iate battles, he might, at least, have taken the Richmond gazettes of 'he days .named, and with a small amount ol labor c >nr piled the intelligence for which every heart iu the South was yearning most anxiously. But he did nothing; and now, because we dure to complain of this indifference to our interests by a regularly paid employee, why, forsooth, the Principal Nows Agent summarily strikes the Republican from the list of his subscribers. We submit the ease. For a brief period, at least, he has the power tq snbj :ct u' to a heavy extra expense, *>ul he mav rest assured it shall not be long. He has rat a subscriber on bis list that does not approve in his heart every word we' said against his Richmond Agent, and who has not been chafing for weeks under a sense of imposition and wrong. We have the power to right ourselves in this matter, and while wo would not quarrel with Mr. l’rilchard, wc would assure him that we feel perfectly independent of him and would not turn on our heel to reverse his decision.

Gen. Johnston Wounded.—Rumors have been floating about for several days to the ef fect that Geu. Johnston was more or less seriously wounded in the late battles near Rich- j niotid. The latest, and perhaps only authentic, i Information about the matter is contained in a ; despatch said to have bee sent by President Davis to his wife, now sojourning in Raleigh, In that, General Johnston is represented to ! have received “a slight wound,” from which we infer that it is not of a character to disable ] him from active duty. Since the foregoing was written we perceive, from the Richmond Dispatch, of Monday, that General Johnston “was slightly wonuded the first day, and the command devolved on Geu. Gustavos W r . Smith—au officer of verv great ability, enjoying the confidence ol the army iu a high degree." Andy Johnson sitimssd to ns Killed.— A report is iu circulation this morning from Nashville, says the Mobile Te’igraph of the 24'. h ult., that “Governor” Andy Johnson has been killed by Gov. Brown, of Tennessee. Ills said that Gov. Brown was ordered to be arrested and brought before Johnson to answer some charge, and while in his presence, and during the investigation, Brown drew a postol and shot Johnson, killing him on the spool,— Brown was attacked by the JjJyderals pirnsent, and, of coarse, cruelly slain. If Gov. Brown wus in Nashville under sneh circumstances, the story is not Improbable. Vte only know that it is currently reported and betiav-d by those who state It. A contemporary has Information that the Chicago Tattet was suppressed by the Lincoln government on th* 20th lust. It was not con sidered a good loyal paper. Tbe Toms w„s the aid. s', edited paper in Chicago, aud the organ of the Douglas democracy. Tlie Late Buttle*. We are at a loss to account for the secrecy with regard to the details and result of the re ' cent two days’ terrible fighting on banks of I the Chick'd ominy. All agree that it was a ter rific struggle, tli’.t runny were lost on both sides, whilst each claims the victory, aud this is the sum of cur inform-ti-.c concerning the affair. Now we ask, why this* silu.ee concerning a thing that has happened, and about which, if the enemy arc not as well informed as ourselves, they v. ould certainly gather nothit g to encour age them if onr g-.ner.il statements with regard to it be true ? With ourselves, the circumstance is suggrs five cl suspicion. It is conceded that our loss is vety heavy, and.we are much inclined to ap prehend that the Confederates got the worst of the fight. Too many of our dead were let! in the hands of the enemy for us to brag too vocif. rou>- ly over the battle as a victory to our arms, The , iwo lans combined make out a pretty strong ease for the Yankees, and the world will be apt to take that view of the case unless we have something to bring forward to rebut it, arm do .acluitUy bring it forward. If we haye really been whipped, let us not conceal the truth ; it w re both honest and manly, however unpleas ant, to tell the whole story, for by such a course we shall gain far more for our character, than wo shill lose for the prestige of our arm-. We have whipped the Yankees often enough in all conscience to afford to take a drubbing occa sionally without loss to tur reputation r.s a brave and warlike people. P. S.—Since the foregoing was pat in type, we have received the letter of our correspon dent and the,Richmond papers up to Tues day. Tin y contain*much interesting informa tion, which we copy as far as our time will allow. It appears the 6th Georgia was engaged in the fight, and lost one hundred men in killed aud wounded. ffomet at Lust. The Yankees, for a long time, repudiated the idea ol conquering and subjugating the South — they only desired to protect the Union senti ment. which they maintained was held by a ma jority of our people, and allow it to assc-rt it self independently and without fear of “Rebel persecution,’.’ Their tone, however, has under gone a complete change of late. They have come to'he South and occupied some of our | cities and towns, but, alas for their motto in this war ! they find no Union sentiment for their soldiery to set free. All is rebellion and undying hate to their foul dominion. Hence a change in their war-cty. The truth begins to come out at last, and the real object of this war. The Yankees cannot aflbrd to lose our support to their factories and tradesmen, and subjugation — the rule of the bayonet—is inscrib ed on their flag, and that in a country whose government, is muouncffil by its constitution to exb.t rightfully only with the consent of the governed. The entire, thajry and practice of free government are thus sit aside, and the country which Washington fought to make free, is to become a* nation of bondsmen and slave.-—subjects of a rule which they heartily despise. How can Yankee rulers anil military leaders I face Ihe people with such a doctrine as this, whilst the free constitution of Hamilton, Madi son and Jay still remains unrepealed on their statute books! With the South it narrows down the issue to freedom or death on the one hand,and slavery— abject, loalhesome submission to vile, fanatical, heartless. God-defying Yankee taskmasters—on the other. Is there a living creature in the Southern States mean enough to bow the neck to such an oppressor? Wifi even our slaves, ''•fra t-—uitiiidi, gi ntle;uea, and are taught to’respeef ftnnifrli.w j—2..-|,p L .; f Maker, yield up their present happy condition, to 'come under the yoke of unprincipled and merc'less tyrants, whose rule is a degradation and life of cruelty? Wc think not. Conscript Officers.—Col. Dun woody, who lias bieu appointed by the Secretary of War, the Commanding Officer of the Camps of In struction in Georgia and to enroll, or cause to be enrolled, all persons subject to be conscribed under the Conscript Act, has appointed the fol. lowing Confederate Officers, in the several con gressional districts of this State, as his assist aula [Atlanta Intelligencer. For the first congressional district, 3d Lieu tenant Wm F. Moris, at Honicsville, Appling eon uty. For t lie second, Ist Lieutenant Wm. O. Flem ming, at Savannah. For the third, Captain E. G.

General Johnston’s Wound. lVe regret to learn, through private parties just from Riffi niond, that while there is nothing dangerous in the wouuds received by General Johnston in tiie late fight, they are of a character to occa sion severe piaiu utid serious inconvenience, and will probably disable him tor some time. I lie was struck on tiie shoulder bv a fragment ! of shell coming from above, the missile glane , ing and also wounding him lit the hip—in both eases contusions. He was knocked from his horse, and in the fall broke two o his ribs. Being lost to the service for a time, G.neral Lee has takeu command of the army of Vir ginia. Bkauuegaud.—lt is report'd, and believed l>y many, that our loader in the West lias left the army ot the. Mississippi an 1 is now with Stonewall Jackson iu Maryland. The New York Herald, of a late da.e, lias a statement to that effect. It is, however, wholly Jlntrue. A gentleman ol unquestionable veracity, just-ar rived trom Corinth, informs us ihit he saw Beauregard, Bragg, Hardee, Price and Van Dorn, nil, at Baldwin, on tbe Mobile A Ohio Railroad—the present camp of our forces : Sunday morning last. Georgia at Ciiiukahominy.—Bo far as we are able to gather from the reports in the Rich moud papers, the 8 xth, Fourteenth, Nine teenth, Twenty third, and Twenty seventh Ga. regiments, participated in the I aules of Satur day and Sunday last. The Sixth and Twenty third suffered very severely. Captain Bacon, of tbe Twet.ty-ssventh, was killed while aetieg as Aid to Gen. Anderson. In tho la<t charge on the retreating Fed erals, beyond their camp. Col. Smith, of tbe Twenty-seventh, was wounded in the thigh. Affairs in Tknnesses.—Onr despatch from Chattanooga would seem to Indicate that warm work may bo expected at that point iu a day or j two. The enemy have made a bold and respon sible movement, placing themselves in a posi tion where it will be neck or nothing for them in the contest, li we h ive the right sort of men at Chattanooga, there will be no difficulty ; in repelling, and, indeed, entirely cutting them i off. There aro great facilities for reinforce ments oa our side, if they will only keep a watch over the railroads and bridges. The army bill, which passed the Yankee j House of Representatives on the 14th,appropri ates $431,000,000 for the year ending with Jane, - ISiS. Beside* this, $208,000,000 have been voted during the present session for the current army exp nses and deficiencies for the present year. Seventeenth Georgia.—This regiment lost, in the recent battles near Richmond, 16 killed, 129 wounded, and 9 missing, making an aggre gate Of 154. Twelfth Alabama.— This regiment carried 408 uit . u into battle, and came out with a loss | ot 55 killed and 150 wounded. UATULPA7I4. 1862- The Act of General Wobhery of the South, On the £Bth nit., the I!oue <f Representa tives of the Federal Corgn.es passed a bill which originated in the Senate, the des.'gq of which is to appropriate tall the property of loyal Southern citizens to the uses of the Fede ral Government. The title of the bill i-q “A hill to collect direct taxes in instiVruetidiinrv districts, anil for other purposes.” It pro vides, as we learn fiom the Philadelphia I"-' quirer, for the appointment of a Board <>t Tiix Commissioners, who shall enter upon tlrir duties whenever end wherever the Federal military authority shall be established. In all cases where the owners of land Ml to pay their taxes the property is to be sold. Provision is made for the redemption of the land, and if it be shown to the satisfaction of the Commis sioners that the owner has not taken part in, or in any manner aided or abetted the rebellion., and that, by reasou of the insuri action, he has bie i un able to pay the tax.” In cases where the own ers of land have le t home, to join “the rebel cause,” the United States'shall take possession and may lease them untM the civil authority o' the Slates-is established, and the people of tile State sihail elect W a!l<J? ■ officers, who shall take the oath to support the- Fcderal Constitution ; but the'Board of Com missioners may subdivide the lands and sell them in parcels to any loyal citizen, or any person (whether citizen or not,) who shall have faithfully served in the army, navy, or marine corps. We are further given to understand that the pre-emption principle is also engrafted on the bill with the view of holding out additional in ducements to the invasion. This bill sweeps al! the propaj'tv of every tiii.n who is fighting for his country. It takes it from him, and he can only recover it by proving that he has not aided tiie “Rebellion” “in any manner,” Its most diabolical feature, however, is tlie provision which requires it to be sold only to ‘ loyal citizens,” or those tner cinarv foreigners whose status is described as “any person who shall have faithfully served in the army, navy, or marine corps ;” and in order to invest this clause with as much popularity as possible with the large mass of the North ern hordes which are now penetrating our country, it is provided that the lands may be “subdivided” cut up into small farm-*, to meet the wants, and be covered by li:e means of “any person.” Arrival of a Wounded Soldier.—Private Lawrence Fitzgerald,- Company K, of the 9ih Alabama regiment of volunteers, (brother ol Mr. E. Fitzgerald, merchant of this city,) ar rived Saturday evening last, from Richmond. — Mr. Fllzgi raid was in the. battle at Chlekah imi ny Swamp, fought on Saturday Jtnd Sunday, ’lst ult. and let of June. In the fight, about ten o’clock Sunday, he received a wound in the left shoulder, passing over the clavicle and out through the surface of skin in the rear, it flitting a wound of about three inches in length, Mr. F. says the fight on the first day com- I tranced at one o’clock, P. M.; about four j o’clock, the 9-h Alabama entered the figh', j making a charge on an entrenched battery o* | the enemy, makieg them surrender the same, \ aid take to their heels in true Bull Run style, j for the swamp and creek. That night the j Alabamians occupied the enemy’s camp, hay- I ing full possession of their commissary stores, among which was 150 bbls rye whiskey, arms, | ammunition, medical stores, euttlers’ stores, Ac.; also, twenty-five pieces of artillery, frotg six to 32-pounder rifled and smootkborg, horses, eaissous, Ac. The enemy had twenty' six pieces in the fight, and saved only one gun that they retreated with. Mr. F. says the enemy’s caxnu was well supplied with neccs-. mr&m, UuSu.'! ij " e*v jygqxvru/l dines, oysters, tobacco and s> gars, in fucTiFWTJP comfort. On Sunday, the enemy got in oar rear and left flank ; then all stores that could not be removed, were barut or destroyed. The fighting was not so severe as on the previous day, and it ceased at twelve tn ; it commenced at 9 o’clock a. m. The Emerald Guards of Mobile, Bth Ala bama Regiment, went into the fight with 85 men, and came out with 10, the remainder be ing killed, wounded and missing. Mr. F. says that lie has been in five engage ments, but this is the hardest of the war. Company K is from Guntersville, Marshall c ounty, Alabama. \Ye learn from private letters received in ttiis city, from Waldo, Fla., that Mrs. Appel, the wife of Charles Appel, formerly of this city, who removed to Fernandina, Fla., lias been ar rested, or not permitted to pass our lines to Fernandina. Mrs. Appel, when Fernandina was taken, went to Port Royal, for the purpose ol proceeding to New York; in this she was not successful, and, consequently, returned to Fernandina, was permitted to cross our lines , and obtain some articles of property that were | stored on the line of the Florida Railroad, but j on desiring to return to Fernandina, was pre ! vented by our authorities, and placed under 1 arrest. j Broke their Parole.—We learn from the Knoxville Register that General Mitchell has one j regiment of Chicago Dutch in his command, uo were taken by Price at Lexington, but who | have broken their parole, aud are now fighting, as it wi re, with halters about their necks.— | They are represented to be the most utterly ; abandoned wretches to be seen anywhere, being 1 guilty of crimes which decency w ill not allow ; us to make public. ! Military Changes.—General A. R Lawton 1 the eomuiander of this department, has been ! ordered to Virginia, aud left hire Saturday i night for Richmond. General Hugh A. Mercer, ! who was ordered to Charleston to succeed ! General Ripley, has been remanded to this post, and General William D. Smith assumes his j place as commander of Charleston. The two I la-t mentioned gentlemen are now at the head ■ of their respective commands. Neglected Post Offices.—There are two ; post offices in Georgia, of which the Postmaster ! and route agents seem to be ignorant. We j annex them, tor the information of all con cerned : Dcuisville , Pierce county ; all matter to be ' sent ria Tebeauvtlle, Ware couuty. HJRtV’e, Laurens county; matter to fie feet via I Tennille (N0.13 Central Railroad), Washington ■ county. The Richmond Dispatch says there are noj surgeons enough in Richmond to give anything like due attention to the wounded and sick soldieis, and calls lor volunteers. ; At least tour hundred of the wonnded ol the battles of Saturday and Sunday last have ifpae home, and they are going daily. The mortality has been very small thus far amongst the wounded. ■ Prowling About.— Ihe enemy broeght in two steamers at Ossabaw Saturday night, and at high tide ascendid the river to a poiut with in s' : £ht of our pickets at Coffee Bluff. After | rec^nnoitering awhile they retired, and were ! cruising about in the sound the greater portion ; ol > esterdav. Tfis Gallant Dead.—The Richmond D,s --' patch gays Among the brave and patriotic officers who made their names immortal on the battle-field of McDowell, was Captain j Richard T. Davis, of the 12th Georgia regiment, i lie received a mortal wound iu his left arm, i and subsequently died in Stauuwn. The French Flset in the New Yokk Hah bor. —The whole French fleet with the French army to Mexico seems to'be rendizvonsing in the New York has bor, in order to escape the lerbile fevers of the Gulf.

J. cat 'h’4if 'bg^E faithful aud diligent as possible in wronowitljr] the chaff from the wheat, and sending forward such news as miy seem racist probable and trustworthy. You will pardon mo, I trust ‘Or mm other refetenee to myself. In several of the Georgia papers, including your excellent contemporary, the Macon Telegraph, I have beeu improperly credited with tel grams and letters which appeared in Hie Mobile Advertiser & Register. It is true, 1 acted as the correspondent of that able journal for a short time, but finding fhal my obligations to the Republican , after the seizure of the Memphis & Charleston road by the Federal forces, required me to discontinue my correspondence, I voluntarily ceased ail connection with the Advertiser if- Register on and aher the l(Lb ult. telegrams and let ters forwarded to that pa pi r after that date, from-Corinth, were furnished by another cor respondent—the same who sent the obnoxious despatch to the Memphis Appeil. and out of which grew ill the. trouble- between Gen. Beau regard and correspondents from the army. It may not be improper to remark just here; that the movement on the 22d uR. did not fail, as some would appear to suppose, oa account of the publications in the Memphis Appeal and the Mobile Advertiser and Register. The former paper, with the contraband news iu it, did not reach C->riuth until noon on the 22d ult., at which time the movement had already been as*, certain'd to be a failure, and the latter did not get there until the night of the 231 or 24 b. The The truth is, the failure arose entirely from i ignorance of the ground to be traversed by Generals Van Dorn and Price, who conducted the advance by a circuitous route on the right, Genera’ Hardee being in command-of the re serve. When they had marched seventeen miles i and got iu the enemy’s rear, they found they ! qould advance no further on account of an im passable swamp. So sensible was Gen. Hardee of the danger of such a. movement, iti the ab sence of exact topographical knowledge, that he despatched Capt. Avery and two of his aids on the 2lst —the day the advance ices to have been originally made—to examine the country as far as possible, and make a report* of the same. They were unable to proceed far, however, on account ol the presence of the Federal pickets. ; Indeed, llie only full aud reliable map ot the country around Farmington, in the whole army' was the production of Col. ULiddeil, a private gentleman of Louisiana temporarily attached to Gen.- Hardee’s stuff. Tlitre bad been no minute survey of jirsy other part of the disputed ground .hetvyeeo the two armiesj And yet Wf had been bndbtfirbed possession af ~th*h)Sti .jnd the i' tnp v 0018 (fijr msiref-i-friM t e-,rA‘ *,£ several week FT It is not pretended that Gen. .:'*Ueek was not aware of our contemplated movement Orders were issued ou the 20ih, for the artny to move out that night and j in battle on the 21st, bnt its execution was postponed" until the next day on account of heavy rains. Intelli gence of our plans was doubtless carried to the enemy during the night, of the 20th or 21st, by spies or deserters. Indeed, a prisoner taken by Van Dorn on the 22d, stated that the Federals; had slept upon their arms for two nights, ex-; peeling an attack. I have been thus particular, in order that fie' Eloquent officials in the army and carpers at ■ home shall not, either from malice or ignor ance, visit their censure where it is not deserved. It was the duty of the commander-in-chief to set his engineers to work and procure exact knowledge of the topography of the ground, upon which he proposed to light a battle that might be decisive in it* results. An intelligent friend, who has just arrived, informs me that the evacuation of Corinth was executed in good order, and without loss ot life. The enemy’s left wing, under Gen Pope, followed on until it reached Tuscumbia river, (a stream about thirty paces in width,) where it was handsomely repulsed by our rear guard.— Ottr forces marched out Thursday night, the •29th, and are now encamped at Boojisvill:-, twenty miles below Corinth on the Mobile & Ohio road, and Baldwin thirty miles below, and Guntown thirty-four miles below. The Feder als marched into Corinth Friday, about eleven o’clock. The bridges ou the Mobile & Ohio road above Corinth, and on the Memphis & Charleston road towards Memphis, were destroyed ; also the track of'he former road from Corinth down to B ionsville. All the sick were brought away, and all the arms and ammunition ; but unfortu nat'iv we found it necessary to destroy about a million doliats worth of commissary stores. An officer had been despatched with a force to set lire tb the bridges between -Corinth and Grand Junction, at 0 o’clock- Friday morning,, by which time it was expected the last ir-iin would have been aide to pass. Such was not the case however. The officer obeyed h’s in structions, and destroyed the bridges at the appointed hour; and soon thereafter the lag ging trains, heavily laden with provisions, made their appearance. There was no alterna t ve left but to burn them, w hich was prcmpUy done. The enemy’s gunboats have re-appeared be fore Vicksburg, and it is now hoped they did not execute their purpose of shelling B .'.on Rouge. I’. W. A. Redden nr ing their Stock.—We learn that Savannah merchants were the largest purchas ers at the Charleston and Lake City cargo-sales, which come eff last week. This will be good news to shippers, but the prices, to make a profit, are likely to be startling. Col.

Afl'airs at t!se Nortti. * jf A friend has furnished us with a portion ot ythe New York Herald of the 29th ult., picked flip in the enemy’s camp after the late battles near Richmond. The great burden of the Yan kee song was another “on to Washington!” in order to save the capital from the hands ol Stonewall Jackson. The Yankees are terribly frightened, and all the New Yotk militia seem to be in motion. The famous Seventh ard Sixty-ninth have again gone to Yv'ashmgton. . The Herald reports great enthusiasm in Balti more over the Federal troops as they pass through. HOW B .NK3 CAME TO HE SO BiDLY WHIPPED. The Herald gives the following philosophical solution of the last great Yankee stampede : Onr readers will remember that when the re bel army, in March last, evacuated Mana sas, a Tegular onslaught ot the abolition radicals of Congress was made upon General McClellan. He was jeered with the clamor that be Lad “outcanipod the rebels ; ” that he had been frightened all winter by a lot if “quaker gun c ;” that he had permitted the enemy to slip through Ins fingers, because he was too much of a pro siavery apologist to believe the “intelligent contrabands” who iu so son informed him how Johnston was evacuating Ids Potomac line ; that McClellan’s army, five times in numbers the dismantled army of Johnston, was too much tor McClellan : and, lastly, that he would not advance “for fear ot hurting somebody.” What followed ? McClellan’s army was divided into three armies, and with halt his previous force tie was sliipp and off to Yorktowu. As he ad vances he finds the enemy in from in much su perior numbers to his own. He calls for rein forcements. They are supplied from General McDowell ; but thus depleted, McDowell be comes apprehensive ot danger and calls for otiier troops. They are supplied from the army of General Btnk;, who has thus been pounced upon, cut up, despoiled and driven out by those watchful rebel guerillas, Generals Johnston an ! Ewell. But why was not General Backs reinforced from Same other quarter? Wc answer, that it was because Mr. Senator Wilson, the head ot the Military Committee of the Senate, and his Congressiond abolition clique, after the rebel evacuation of Manassas, brought.about the sus pension of volunteering; that the hostility of this clique to General McClellan and his well considered pir.es was at the bottom of this movement, and that these abolition radicals have been playing their cards wi;h our armies in Virginia so as to bring about some great disaster, under the pressure of which the ad | ministration and the army might be dragged i headlong into an exterminating crusade against Southern slavery. This is our solution of this u • fortunate re pui-e of Genera! Banks. We trace it to the eumityo! Senators Wilson, Trumbull, Sumner aud‘others of that cTque in the Senate, and to Thaddens Stevens, i,v>j y ansi their abolition brethren of the House ; and to their successful trick- and intrigues to break op the army and the plans of tieriera 1 McClellan, to stop rceruil irg lor the army, when fifty thousand more men were needed to secure our conquests in Virginia, and a hundred thousand more to pu-h the rebels speedily out of the State. Let the responsibility then rest where it belongs. Natehes and Vicksburg are formally annonne ed to have fallen into the hands of lac Fedtrals, and minute particulars are given. We select the .following U rns from the “Situation” column. The official report of the battle at Hanover Court house wa.- received at the VYar Depart ment from General McClellan yesterday, trom which it appears that it was a pretty serious affair, resulting in the complete route of the I enemy. The rebel loss in killed and wounded is set down at one thousand, and our loss at j three hundred and Seventy-nine killed, wound ed and missing, of whom fifty-three were killed. One hundred of the enemy’s dead were buried on the field by ear men. Five hundred ! were taken prisoners, and more were coming I in. Toe rebels in this action were mostly from I Georgia and North Carolina, j Despatches trom Nashville to the 27ih state that General Mitchell and Genera! Negiy had arrived there on that night. Genera! Mitchell was the recipient of a serenade. He says that his position iu Alabama is permanent, and re ports everything quiet at Huntsville and the Union leeheg increasing. High Prices for Negroes.—We learn that at Sheriff’s sale at this place cn Tuesday last, the following prices were obtained : A boy, 22 years old, brought $1,495; one 23 years old, brought $1,465; a woman 20, and her child, three years old, $1,355; one woman, 35 years old, S9OO, and a man, to years old, $l9O.

Arrest of Judge Carmichael for Treason—The Judge does not Recog'Azi the Authority if the United States—His Arrest and Conveyance to Hurt McHenry, &.c., Ac. Baltimore, Moy §S, 1862. SattiTday De puty Provost Marshal James L. Mcrhail, by orders of General Dix, com manding this department, proceeded toEast' n, Talbot county, Mai viand, to arrest Judge Richard Carmichael Judge of the county, and James Powell, Prosecuting Ait- rney, upon a charge of treason. Marshal MePhalJ, with several (flicers, arriv ed at Easton on Saturday evening aud took lodgings at file Easton Hofei. Early on Sun day morning the purpose of their visit wits rumored, and a fellow named McNabb was actively engaged in exciting the people. Some persons coiled on the Marshal and stated that an attempt to arrest the Judge would be resist ed by at least one hundred armed ra°n. On Monday the excitement was intense, and threats of violence were repeated. Still the officers were patient and quiet, but determined to make the arrest or die iu the attempt. The 'Marshal telegraphed the state of affairs to Gen. Dix, who sent one hundred and twenty-five of the Second Delaware regiment. They reached Nye landing yesterday noon. The Marshal met them anfi ordered them to, ip in the town in one ffresidrhj, and tald him he must con -ider him self under arrest !qjd a prisoner. The Judge demanded tii- authority for such a proceeding. States. lie replied that he/did not regard that authority under the circumstances. Here a call was made for the Sheriff; bnt the crier was soon stopped, and ono of the officers ascended the steps to arrest the Jndge.

Herald 29 th uH. LFr m the E chtuond Dispatch, 6th.] Tii® Forces ok lire 31st au<l let. We hive heard various estimates placed upon the forces that fought the late battle in trout of this city. At first it whs said that the enemy had thrown over about 20,000 men, and that all our arm'y was about to fall upon them. Why that was not done, vve are not soldier enough to know. It would have been eminently iu the siyle of the old masters, and would have re sulted in the utter annihilation of the enemy this side of the river, compelling him to a most disastrous retreat, and proving decisive of the campaign. There were, no doubt, obsiacles in the way of which we are not aware, and which will be cleared up hereafter, when the liisto rim, with all the documents in his possession, ►lffl! come to treat of these eventful times. The U7>i<y of yesterday, says that oufy 20,000 ol our.men fought-, while the enemy deployed a force of 50,000 , ‘ > against us. From other sources we are informed that we bad 30 900 men, while the enemy had 55,000 on the field. From all the information we can gather, it seems certain that they'ware nearly if not quite, two to one. New'while we can hardly applaud the tactics which, with so great a force as we had, allowed the enemy to be superior on the important point, we have learned a most Important secret from these battles. We can beat him two to one. Ti he come with only equal uumbets, as he will be compelled to do hereafter, vve can annihilate him. It must be recollected that our brave boys not only drove him trom the field, but stormed Ids entrench ments with i he vigor and impel uoslty of veteran soldiers. The Imperial Guard of Napoleon, or the 42U regiuunt of Scotch Highlanders, could not have aided more courageously. Onr ioiS was heavy, of course, where we, bad to storm entrenchments so strong and so situa ted. But it. ha; been much exaggerated. We learn that*”,soo, killed and wounded, would cover it all. Considering the forces engaged, this is wot a heavy loss, at least in comparison with European battles. There was, vve learn, a very unusual proportion of wounded, to swell the list, and of these a larger proportion than usual received wounds in the arms and hands, aud will recover.

[From the Charleston Courier, 9th. 1 TTte News on the Lines. The news from the lines Saturday and Sunday was not very important. Reports as usual were numerous, some ol them of a very startling character. To ascertain the truth of these re ports, and sift out the facts, was a labor of no little difficulty. On Saturday morning a portion of General Evans’ command, under Colonel Dunnovant, as we learn, attacked a body of the enemy near j Haulover bridge on John’s I land, drove them ! across the bridge, and captured a quantity of baggage which 'he enemy abandoned in a pre j cipit ite flight. ' Our pickets on Sunday captured one of the 1 pickets of the enemy, stationed near the Metho dist Church on James’ I land. lie was in the ; church when taken prisoner. In a conversation j with some of our officers he was evidently dis | posed to be silent and evasive, but at length ! sa : d he believed their force now on the island ; numbered about fifteen thousand men, and that they were under the command of two Briga j dier-Generals ot Divisions. Late last evening it was reported that a small : force of the < nenty again advanced, and made a i demonstration as if for an attack on our forces t at James’ Island. Oa the approach of our I troops, however, they again turned and fled. ! We have not learned of any casualties.

Williamsport is about twenty miles above Harper’s Ferry, and we suppose about ninety from Baltimore, and seventy-five or eighty from Washington. Whether the army would advance farther was not known. The number of prisoners taken up to Thurs day morning, when the courier left, including those sent eff, was estimated at forty-three hundred. It is said that the wildest enthusiasm exists among the people of the Valley at the presence ol our armies, and they were flocking to the standard of “old Stonewall” in large numbers. The same may be said of the people ot Mary land, near the Potomac, who welcomed with delirious joy the stars and bars of the Confed eracy.— Butler recently caused the house occupied by Mrs. Gen.
