Tbe MoDiifOin-ry Advertiser of Thursday, chronicle*, after several weeks’ of dry weather, “a copious draught of rain,” which it says will be worth millions to the planters of that State. Awful ! —The citizens of Brunswick, in this State, will regret to learn that the Lincoln Con gress has passed an Act to change that port of entry to some other sea port town—which, the papers do not state. The New York Herald of tbe.JJOrii says : Out of one hundred aud fifty rebel prisoners in Fort Warren only three are kept in close confinement. They are Gener.

Ti>e Knoxville (Tenu.) “Register,” of June 26tb, sdys that the Federal* are committing serious depredatio' 8 on private property, in East Tennessee, while passing themselves off as Morgan’s men. This is doubtless done lo bring odium upon the gallant Morgan, and in duce the people to fear the Confederates reply to aneuquny addressed to us by a soldier at Caustbn’s Bluff, we would slate that when a citizen once enlists as a soldier for the war, or for a term of years, he has no right to leave the service until the close of the war or the expiration of his term, and that whether his age be embraced in the limits of the Con scription Act or not. Tbe Richmond Enquire! oi Tuesday c nlra dicts its .former statement of an engagement, through mistake, between the 12 h Virginia and a Georgia regiment. The (Jth Virginia was or dered forward on a report that tbe enemy bad driven in our pickets, and on g icg aud return ing they were tired iuto by several pickets, and fifteen of their number wounded; nobody killed. The Boston Journal asserts that the Govern ment "has endorsed all the acts of General But ler since he took possession of New Orleans.” Then has that government ceased to deserve at our hands any of the usages of civilized i li tmus. It confessedly outlaws itself, and the bauds of all Christendom should be raised against it. Exciianoi.no Pjusonkbs —lt is positively as serted that Secretary Randolph will consent to no more partial exchanges of prisoners. There must be a regular system, or no exchange at all. A Confederate Captain taken prisoner at Kernstown, recently came through the lines with permission to effect an exchange if pos sible; but, under the rule adopted by our Government, his errand was a failure, and he returns to captivity. Promoted.— The Macon Telegraph says : We have been permitted to make the follow ing extract from a letter received In Ibis city by a gentleman, from his son, who is a member of Company C, 6lh Gt. : “Col. A. 11. Colquitt has been promoted to a Brigadier General. Ills Brigade consists of the 6th, 23rd, 26 h and 27. h Georgia. Lieut. Col. J. M. Newton is now in command of the Regiment as Colonel. Phil. Tracy Is Lieut. C.d mil.” The Conscription Law.— We may state, for the benefit of persons claimed by the govern ment as conscripts, that the enrolling officers have been instructed by tlie War Department to pay no attention to certificates of disability j from physicians at home, or surgeons in cauip, j or discharges from the service prior to tile pas- | sage of the conscription act, (except from wounds received in battle) Conscripts wi'l bo ordered to the camp of instruction, where they can be examined by surgeons detailed for that special purpose “ Middla Georgia.” —The sentiments of this writer are doubtless shared-in by every well bred gentleman in the State. We read the des patch referred to with indignant mortification for the State whose character and dignity it so seriously compromised. The threat was wholly gratuitous, and shows how utterly unfit is the present incumbent of the Executive chair of Georgia to .represent a commonwealth of de cent and respectable gentlemen. We cannot help hoping, with our correspondent, that the eyes of the people will be opened after a while. Wh or A Fkizg We Missed. —The Petersburg “Express” slates that our trorpe under General Stuart, missed a valuable prize In the recent brilliant reconnolsance made In the rear oi the enemy’s lines. Gen. Stnart passed in his march an esta e in New Kent county known as Hamp stead, where General McClellan has established his headquarters. At one time on the march the Confederates passed wiihin six hundred yards of Hampstead, and it is stated that Mc- Clellan and staff were in the building at lb * time at dinner.

It Is unne cessary for us to say to residents of Savannah which we could do with perleet truth —that the statement Is without foundation : It's True —The paragraph which appeared In our edition ot yesterday, relative to running the blockade, proves to he correct.

Extract from a letter dared WaynesviHe, G.t, June 'Mth, IS® : “ Five of our pickets, of Capt.

They were armed, but cirriea a white flag.

The ball opens well and brilliantly ia the vi cinity of ! iehmond. Thus far we have no fault to find with our part of the g'cat. battle lhat is to determine the fate of the Confederate Capi tal. It appears that our soldiers ate coolly and firmly marching forward in the performance of their high duty, that Federal columns and batteries are disappearing before them a* they go. But little is known thus far, but that lltt'e is most cheerio#. The failing back of the ene my several miles under our fire, and the pos session of all the heights in the vicinity of Meebanicsville by our troops, would seem to be achievement enough for one day. The news was received here with many evidences of sat i-f.eiion, and intense interest is felt to know further particulars and the final result. i be most g'orious part of th e announcement, though, was the fact that Stonewall Jackson was present on the left bank of the Chickabom iuy aud aiding in the great battle. Every eye looked brighter aflif every pulse beat strong-r ou reading this portion of the despatch. J uk sop has, to-day, ten times the pnblb confidence of any other gensral in the field, and an invol untary sense of security comes over the people when they know he is about and bas our cause committed to his hands. We stated yesterday that such was no doubt bis destination, feeling assured that it ought to be, and a few hours have verified our judgment. The five or six Yankee Major Generals whom he has left be bind searching for, or escaping for life from him in the mountains, must feel blank indeed when they awake to the truth of their aban donment as game unworthy of his pursuit. The ceasing of the firing on both sides at so ei'lv an hour yesterday, looks singular, and we can only account for it on the hypothesis lhat the enemy, seeing their perilous position, sud denly beat a retreat. We shall probably know more before going to press. Yankee Slave Tending —.V Cargo Taken to Cuba. We are informed, iff a citizen of New Or leans, a gentleman of high character, who re cently arrived from Nassau, that a cargo of Carolina and Georgia slaves were recently taken from Port Royal by a Yankee vessel, car, ried to Cardenas, in Cuba, and there sold to the planters of the island. We are also informed that'the Spanish Consul at Charleston has re ceived positive information of the transaction. The report comes very direct, aud we have no reason to doubt its correctness. Now, here is a specimen of Yankee sympathy for "tbe poor slave,”as he is wont-hypocritical ly to term him. Southern negroes are seduced from kind masters and comfortable homes by promises of freedom and equality, ard by way o! fulfilling the promise their Yankee benefac tor tears them away from families ami friends and seifs them into slavery ! Toe world should be informed of the iniquitous transaction, and the guilty nation that tolerates it should be held up to universal scorn. At the beginning of this war, soon after the occupation of Hilton Head by the Federal troops, we expressed the opinion that southern masters had little fo tear-from a voluntary abandonment of their homes by the slaves — that Yankee rule for a few months would per feetly satisfy the slaves with their former con dilion, aud they would return at the first op portunity afforded them. There was one source, though, from whieli we apprehended loss. As large numbers of slaves were being collected ou tbe islands, we predicted that it would not be long before Yankee slavers would make their appearance in the. offing, and that finally these deluded blacks would be stolen or induc ed to go aboard, with or without the conni vanco of the officers in charge, when anchor would be immediately weighed and ali sails set fora West. India*po t. Our prophecy has been fulfilled, if all reports be true, in two separate instances. Tue Gainesville (Fla ) “ Cotton States.” Tbe editor of this little fl x 9 brandishes bis trenchant steel, in his last issue, in an attack on our Army Correspondent. If his readers are not enlightened, we hope that, at heart, he feels better siuee disgorged of his bile. The article is harmless, and consequently unworthy of notice*, except from its unfairness in distort ing an expression of our correspondent in one ot his late letters, into a confession that he “ had jiublished, as reliable correspondence one thing when he believed another.” The in ference is violent and unjust. When “P. W. A.” says he defended Genera’, Beauregard at times when lie “ believed his course at least ques tionable,” he simply means to say lhat when a clear case of error could not be made out against a leader of our armies, duty to that leader and the cause requires that, lie should be defended rather than condemned. " (Juesti.lia ble ” is the word used, implying that iu all doubtful eases a general should be allowed the benefit of the doubt. This is just and fair, and every right-thinking mau will approve the sen timent and the course of our correspondent suggested by it, the opinion of carping scrib blers for ob-cure new a* •- ■ be contrary | notwithstanding. Tn,: Yankee bLAva ,uim. — l’us business seems t> in* progressing finely. Ia addition >o the case brought to the public attention some days ago, we perceive that a gentleman direct from Alexandria, Ya., where the Yankees have possession, Informs the Richmond Dispatch, that two vessels left that portoce day last week loaded with slaves stolen from the loyal citi zens of Yirgiuia, aud doubtless bound for St. Croix or some other West India Inland. A vessel recently sailed from the York river, where she arrived a few days previous with Wer t lud'a fruits, and by the cunning and du plicity ot the Yankee skipper and his crew, many slaves in the neighborhood were induced >to go oa board. As soon as a load of these de luded creatures was obtained, the vessel drifted off, and setting all sail, despite the tears aud entreaties of the negroes, who too late dis | covered the trap iu which they were caught, ! bore them off as prizes no doubt to Yankee cupidity and gain. If anybody believes that none of these slaves will be resold again into bondage, he has more faith in their professed liberators than iheir past history aud recent actions justify.

The news! which we publish from the battle field in Virginia is most unsatisfactory, as re gards deta'jq yet there is enough to make the heart of every southern patriot leap with joy. Our long night ot revolution is approaching a close, and the day star of independence is shooting its rays above the political horizon. Af.er nearly a year’s delay, the two great armies of the belligerants have met in deadly strife— bow deadly and terrific no one c an yet tell, lint a tale of woe is in reserved for both the parties t, the conflict. We almost shudder in the an ticipation of the long and bloody roll of patriot martyrs, that is soon to carry sorrow and wail ing to so many hearthstones of the South. Vet, they have nobly perished. They have of fered their life-bfoed on the sacred-altar of their c iuniry, and its smoke will ascend as incense t > Heaven, to bring down blessings upon the suffering nation, and freedom, and comfort, we trust, to the loved ones they have left behind. The particulars of the three days’ light seem not to have reached even the papers of Rich mond, published but a lew miles from the scene ot action and wiihiu sound of the guns. Enough is known, however, to assure us of a splendid victory, the greatest of the w.ir if not of the age, tor the Confederate arms. The great “Na poleon” of the enemy, who, with,his two bua dre^.thousand invaders, was to “drive us to the wall*” and “ivvJ in the capital of she Coded eiatcs,” has been driven neck for miles in the rear of his intrenchments, nearly "all his bat teries taken, many thousands of prisoners cap tnred, his communications by railroad and teie graph cut < If, and his entire army surrounded as if with a wall of fire. The “Anaconda” has been hemmed in, and according to our under stand.ng of the ground and the situation of the armies, there is new way of escape. To tight through were impossible, to contest the ground to annihilation is a tiling not laid down in the book* of Yankee warfare, and if it be, it has not found its way to their hearts. An humble submission and capitulation of the entire, re maining hosts of the enemy appear (o be the only alter native. Taking it for granted lhat our victory is com plete, what next ? This question is almost as important a* riie victory itself In Heaven’s name let us not solve it ia the ignorant, bung ling way we have settled all inch propositions heretofore. Let us nuke the victory worth something, and n' t trifle its fruits aw ay in vain anticipations of results never to be realized. Let ns follow it up, boldly and with a vigor lhat shall strike terror to Die hearts of the enemy. IDs country, not ours, should be the theatre for enacting the remainder of this bloody diama. We have an army that can inarch to Boston, and we warn'd dictate terms of peace from Bunker 1L 1. McClellan’s army defeated, cap tured and demoralized, we shall have ample re. serves in Virginia aud the West to manage the rest of the Yankee army. The tables will then be turned, and “subjugation” should be our word, as it, has been the motto of our cruel invaders. We would reduce them to jhe Con federate yoke—not to make them a part of ourselves, or even to govermthem, for they are unfit for honorable associations or free govern meut, but to punish them for their crimes, and erjoy the privilege oi setting them once more at liberty to work out their own destruc tion. This they will do full early when left to themselves. With the secession of the South, the great balance-wheel of the Old Republic was lost; their capacity for seif government came to an end. Unfortunately for us, we think, along with this signal victory for our arms, comes news of a probable hostile intervention of France and England for the purpose of closing the war. We hope it is untrue. We have managed the Yankees very well thus far of ourselves, and our prospect is even more promising for the future. We prefer to “ work out our own salvation,” even though it be done “with fear and trem bling ” aud through much “tribulation.” We had no friends in our adversity, when wind aud tide were both setting strong against us, and we prefer to decline them now, when the storm is passing away aud our bark floating gloriously into her destined port. In any event, we pro test against any foreigner’s setting bis loot on Confederate shores with a hostile intent, even in our favor. The English and French fleets may do what they please on the high seas and at the mouths of our rivers, for there they have a quarrel oftheirowu wi,h the ships of Lincoln, and we shall n juice at every success, but on land it is our tight, and we insist on tugging it out alone to the entire satisfaction of ourselves and the common foe. Let England and France raise the blockade—or sink it, which would be better—bring us tho’r wares and their merchan dize which we need, and take back our cotton, rice and tobacco, which they need ; do this and the uses we have for them will have been ac complished. Latest. —The news from the battle field which we publish ou this page, is still more cheering. If the report of McClellan’s move ments bo true, the fight is over, the Federals ore whipped, and are making for their gi.n boats to save themselves, or what is left of them, from destruction. We shall await this morning’s despatches w ith anxious interest. Later Accounts, The news from Virginia continues to im prove as it comas to ns from day to day. There can be no doubt now, if the despatches are to be believed, of the utter defeat and over.hrow of the Grand Army of the Federals under Mc- Clellan. They have quit fighting, given up the j contest as hopeless, burnt all their stores, and decamped for the neighboring swamps and jungles with the hope of reaching their trans ports and guuboats, and thus to escape the just ■ vengeance of those whom they sought to en slave. It is, indeed, a grand moral spectacle, a righteous retribution. Thus ends the labor of months, the expenditure of hundreds of mil ions, the.anxious expectations ot a greedy and remorseless tyrant. Let it be an example and a warning in all future time for the mighty who would Impose on the weak, for the cruel des pot who would feed his starving millions ou the blood and sighs and groans of freemen. There is a God who rules on#.igb, who watches over the just, and brings the schemes ot wick edness to naught. There can be no mistaking the result of these engagements. Even Abolition mendacity w ill stand appalled and be forced to confess the un welcome troth. Bull Ran was not. a more pal pable, inglorious defeat. The lying Herald will quail and acknowledge the shame that has fallen on the Federal arms and cause. Stocks of every kind will -ro down, and specie go up to from $1 30 to II 50; Lincoln will stake in his boots, ; and general consternation se'ze upon the entire ' guilty North ; the day of retribution will have I come. \ain glorious boasting will be turned to puling, pitiable whining, and a terrible fu ture will loom up before their horrified visions. Such will be some of the effects at the North when ihts glorious Confederate victory shall i l ave broken upc-n item in all its appalling 5 truth. In Europe, it will strike off the scales | from all eyes, remove all scruples, and vindi cate our new Republic as a claimant to a place in the great family of nations. Important far Invalids. The following despatch has been received by a party interested from the Secretary of War: | “ Richmond, June 25 —The invalids may be 1 examau-d at Savannah by pertnision of Major i Danwoody, to whom you can telegraph at U 1- ! bonn, near Marietta.

Toe utter rout and defeat of these hosts, or enemies, may afford us tojne instruc tive teaching.. The Duke of Well hit tod said to Sir John Moore, who wrs kili-d at Corunna, in Spain, whilst repelling an attack by Marshall Junot, who had been pursuing him, that the only ertor committed by him, was, iu not providing for a retreat. Sir John, commanding the English army, had advanced from the Coast of Portugal, to relieve Madrid, which was threatened by Marshal Souls. after twelve days’ march into the interior, he was assailed by Janot, Duke d’Abrantes, and compelled to fkll back upon his fleet and transports, at Corunna, a sea port of Spain. Here, under tlie walls of that town, after having lost one half pi his army in the retreat, together wish 1.500 horses, aud his military chest, he held Junot at b y, and lost his valuable litc. This has been the fate of McC print; and bis vandal hordes. S ifliciqnt is* known of his move ments to assert, that be made no Vproo'w'tm for a retreat. Our latest telegram announces t hat he had crossed over to the right, or west h>u k, of the Chiekabotnin.v, with the purpose of reaching the James river, and with ’.be hope of finding transports and gunboats at some point on that river, iu Charles City caipnty. He lias burned the bridges iu his. rvarkf pur suit by “Stonewall.” But he will not find transports or gut.boats for sixty thousand meu, not even for five t hou sand. Moreover, he will find himself in a r.ul de-sac, from which there can be no escape.— Charles City county forms a narrow peninsula, bounded by the James river and the Chicka- 1 hominy, which empties into it. At this fork there are no bridges to reach Williamsburg, on the road to Yorktown, and he must cross either the Chiekahominv or the James river, or pass under the Caudlne Forks of aijeet submission and surrender. In addition to this, in crossing the Chiekahominv at. Long’s bridge, he was compelled to pass the right wing of the Con- I federate army, and in sight of it. The just. I probability is, that on the 29.1 t the Confederate j right wing had changed front, and dashed upon i the retreating vandals. The J inies river is j twelve miles from Lung’s bridge, and on our j right wing. There is no retreat possible in such i a space; and if there were, McClellan has no transports at that point, excepting, perhaps, for himself and staff and a few thousand troops Meanwhile, “Stonewall” is advancing on the cast side of Die Chiekahonainy towards Wil liamsburg, to cut him off; in that direction a j spaee of twelve miles, encircled by victorious j Confederates, offers no earth’y -chance for an- 1 other anabasis, or retreat of “ten thousand.” I To-day’s telegrams will determine the reality ; of these speculations. Or teachings from the ! enemy. Jasper Green, j June :10th, 18Gi [communicated ] Salt!—’Site Soutlrern Field aud Fire side. | In the last number of this invaluable and in- j structive periodical, the Editor, Mr. Daniel ' Lee, Terrel Professor of Agricultural Science, j makes the following remarks on the Salt j Springs of Abingdon, Virginia. They lie on j the railroad from Knoxville, Tennessee, to j Lynchburg, Virginia. “We found at Abingdon, Washington county, Virginia, the Gypsum and OuoDdaga Salt group of rocks, folly developed, and the richest Sait Springs on this continent. These springs are in the hands of a close monopoly, which make only 2,500 bushels of salt per day, and sell it at seven dollars a bushel at the works. The saline fountain, in all human and scientific proba bility, is equal to the production ot 25,000 bushels daily, and at cost, not to exceed, in these wartimes, .25 cents a bushel. Our business here is to persuade tlie Slate or Con federate Government to take this natural de posit of salt into its own hands, and open ud its advantages to ail our people. Governor Letcher is favorable to our views, and if the Confederate Government places no obstacles in the way, we shall soon be making salt at the rate of five millions of bushels a year. Twenty gallons of this brine gives a bushel of salt, aud we shall deliver i t freight cars rixty gallons of this brine for fifteen cents. A single train of cars will take away brine enough to make a thousand bushels of salt. In a word, tbe State can sell brine at one-tenth tlie price charged by the company, make money, and increase the product of the salints a thousand per cent, above their present production. The State of i New York sells brine, to make a bushel of salt j to every oue wanting it, at one cent, to pay for j pump work. This is at the Onondaga salinas i New Yotk. We have pleasure in placing the “Feld and Fireside” at tbe head of this notice, and we recommend this instructive periodical to the public. Mr. James Gardner, Editor of the Augusta Constitutionalist, is its Proprietor.— Subscription price $2 00 per annum. We can not speak too eoinmendably pf the enterprize of Mr. Gardner, in sustaining under the immense difficulties of the times, this Southern periodi cal, devoted to Agricultural Science, and to Literature, and tenoral intelligence. Professor Lee’s articles on salt, from which we have ex tracted. is alone worth a year’s subscription, just now. X. Tbe Yankee* at fit, Mary*. Our correspondent at Waynesville has sent us the following correction of a former com munication, which appeared in our issue of Tuesday last, accompanied by some comments and suggestions of oir owu. We take pleas ure in setting the matter right., and also in withdrawing our strictures which were based on the information as it reached us : Waynesville, Jane 26th, 18(52. j lr. id tor: —In writing you some days ago an account of the Yankee doings in St. Marys, I gave the report as I received it. I was not pr< sent and, of course, was not a witness. Since I wrote you I have been informed that the Yankees landed between two and three hun dred men. Two hundred performed the work of removing the machinery, and the balance were thrown out as skirmishers-, that our men did fire ou them, but having double-barrel guns could not approach sufficiently near to do in jary to the Yanks, who were armed with long range ritl s. Nothing could induce me to do injustice to the gallant officer who commanded oue company at St. Marys. If he failed to drive off the enemy, it was, I am sati-fi*-d, not his fault. The enemy are becoming quite bold of late. Since they removed the mill from St. Marys, they came up in their boats to Carte right and took off a small vessel belonging to Capt Stephens, and on their way do *, n the river called at Bassett’s Island and carried off a load of rice, saying, on leaving, that they would return shortly for the balance. Injustice to the < ffieer in command at St. Marts, as well as his men, I beg you will give this'a place in yonr next issue. X. Tbe Vankres Turned Planters.

Ti ere is nothing new*htre, unless it is a re port that the gunboats have administered on Mr. Jacob Barrali’s plantation near Darien, and are removing his rice to their ht-adqu triers. This operation is rather a serious affair, as the benevolent old gentleman may have left it in his bans, in the goodness of his heart, as a nest egg lor the widows and orphans of the brave soldiers who are protecting fats property day and night.
