Military Election.— At an election held on the 7.b inst., for Brigadier General of the Second Brigade, Sixth Division, Capt. John C. Nlcholls, of Clinch county, was duly elected. Charleston papers announce the death of Lieutenant Thomas Lamar Wardlaw, son of Chancelor Wardiaw, who was wounded by the explosion of a rifle gun at Fort Moultrie. Departed.— We are infromed that the steam ers Kate and Nashville, after discharging valu able cargoes, in a Confederate port, have loaded for their return trip and successfully made their way to sea, in spite of the blocbaders. No Hors for Mr. Van Buren. —The Kin derhook Rough News says the health of ex- Pre.-ident Van Buren has not improved within the past week, and very slight, if any, hopes are entertained by his friends of his ultimate re covery. ? if" Extract from a letter dated Waresborq’, liHb,is62- “The corn and polatde crops in the low country are unusually large, and as promising as the planters could possibly desire. Scarcely any cotton planted—only enough for ‘spinning cotton.’ ” A Blockade against Whiskey. —lt will be seen, from General Orders No. IC, in our col umns this morning, that the introduction of spirituous and intoxicating liquors into Savan nah from this date is prohibited. Not a bad •rder, and we hope will raise the price" of whis key to St perdrink. Supplies of Postage stamps —Much incon venience has lately been felt owing to the lack of postage stamps. The Richmond Enquirer says that a large quantity has recently been re ceived by a foreign arrival, and promises that abundant supplies will soon be ready for dis. tribntion. McClellan’s Reinfobcements. —The Rich mond Euqnirer says the Yankee boasts of hav - ing sent heavy reinforcements to McClellan are all gammoD to deceive onr troops. Burnsides has joined him with 10,000 men from the swamps of North Carolina, and there ends the list up to this date. Corn.— vVe learn, says the Macon Telegraph, that several large planters in Southwestern Georgia have sold their growing crop of corn, to be delivered at the nearest railroad depot, when gathered, at twenty-five cents per bushel, and many others are anxious to sell at the same figurcc. Florida. —The State ol Florida eas furnished, since the commencement of the war, eight regi ments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, two independent or partizm cavalry companies, and two light artillery companies, amounting in all to over ten thousand troops, out of a voting population of little over twelve thousand—and sti 1 troops are being raised! Capt. Wm H. Crisp Manager Again —We perceive, from the Columbia papers, that Capt. Crisp, wlp> has served his adopted country with such gallantry in the field, as commander of an artillery company from New Oileans, has re sumed the dramatic toga, lie announces the opening ot Kinsler’s Hall, in Columbia, under the name of the "Columbia Varieties,” Monday evening. We wish him every success. Notorious Yankee Killed —Among the killed in the recent battles belore Richmond, was Col. Wyman, of the 10th Massachusetts regiment. Col. YVyman had rendered himseli qnite notorious by his connection with a piece of scandal, which a few years ago excited all Gotham to nn intense pitch. He was the man who eloped with Mrs. Capt. James Brentiau, the two embarking at New York one .summer evening about 6 o’clock on the ferry boat for Staten Island. Cheap Cotton —Yankee Promises and Performances —The Y ankees have been as suring the world, including their own manu facturers, that the capture of New Orleans and Memphis would reopen the cotton market and make tho staple both abundant and cheap. Such was the promise, aud they succeeded in staving off’ European intervention in no other way. The telegraph gives us the performance, to wlt; Cotton in Livorpool at 17J., and iu New York at 50 cent*. Not Dead —We stated, some days ago, on the authority of a telegraphic despatch from a respectable gentleman In Richmond, that J. 11 Marshall, of this city, but now a Sergeant in Cos. It, First Texas regiment, was killed in one of the late battles before Richmond. We have be foro us the very best evidence that this was a mistake, viz: a letter from Sergeant Marshall himself, dated Richmond, 14th July, in which he reports himself as unhurt. Ho has many friends in Savannah to whom this will be wel come news. Served them Kigut.—Two citizens of St. Augustine, named Whitney and Kidg, who had taken the oath of allegiance to Lincoln, were sent out on a recruiting expedition among the inhabitants. They were provided with blank passes to be fill and out and destrlbnted among such as cauld be induced to take upon them selves a like dishonor. The emissaries, how ever, wire not very successful. Before pro gressing far into the country they were raptured by the Regulators and summarily swung to a tree. May 6uch be the fate of every tory in the land. Affairs in Kentucky. The Confederate cause brightens gloriously in dear old Ken tucky as more is known of the progress of our arms. Our s'aecial despatches this morning are most cheering. They Indicate that Louisv He has, by this time, fallen into our hands. The inarch of Morgan was onward with bat littls opposition from the foe, who, indeed, appeared paralysed with terror at his approach. We trust that troops have been promptly sent for ward to keep open his line of communication and properly protect his rear; if so, the State of Kentucky is ours, and (he Federal army of the Mississippi has about reached the close of its career. Generals Huger *nd Maqbudrk.—The Richmond Dispatch says; “We understand that Gen linger has been relieved of his com mand in the army, and assigned to duty in Richmond, as Inspector of Ordnance. His di vision lev be<u turned over to Gen. R. H. An derson ” We take this to be a delicate w y of remov ing General from a post for which he has proved his niter unfitness. General Magrnder, a'tc reaching Columbia, m rente for Tennessee, was suddenly ordered back by telegraph to Richmond—nobody knows for what, but all who have read the account o f the Hie battles can “snap at it” with a conjec ture. The Sick of Pulaski Garkisox A letter received by the Editor yesterday, from Fort Columbus, Y. Harbor, and dated sth Inst., says all th* sick and wounded from Pulaski, exce pt privates Pouce and , have an ivrd at Governor's Island and taken their places among the prisoners of war. This is the w*y Federal commanders comply with th< ir contracts. As it was specialty stip ulated -hat the sick and wounded of the garri son should be sent a -ro-s ih< F ierd Hues to their I'teod-, we hope our goverutueul will not recogo * these men as prisoners of aar in the coming exchange. ' Georgia in ilit 2 ittles before Richmond All correspondence from tho army having been prohibited, the Tress is forced to resort to every available source for information, and theu content itself with giving a partial and, in many cases, incorrect account of the great transac tions it essays to record. Under these circum stances errors must abound, and injustice must be done. We predicted just this slate of tnings when General Johnston issued his prohibitory order, and urged it as a strong and unanswerable argument against the restrictive policy. We knew correspondence irom the army mast go on, either from private and irresponsible indi viduals or regular and responsible re resenta tivesof the Press. The latter, we insisted, were to be preferred on many considerations, not the least among them being fidelity to truth, and justice to the brave men who had gone forth to fight the battles of the country and peril tlie r lives for our liberties. ' We begin now to reap the fruits of General Johnston's policy. Wc can sec no good that has ensued, and would have been defeated by a well regulated Press correspondence on the field, but on the contrary, there is hardly a household in the Confederacy that has not felt its hardships. Of the thirty-odd Georgia regi ments that took part in the memorable battles of Richmond, we have yet been able to publish the disasters >n but four or five, and the whole country is still, after a_n hiterval.of two weeks, agonized with suspense. Not a .day Apaesf* that; ansbi ts father, motcar, or brother does not en et ;:r office to enquire concerning the fate of some relative who has buckled on his armor in defence of our liberties. In a large majority of cases we could give them no com fort, and they were compelled to go away worse than sorrowful. But the argument founded on the injustice of the order is the strongest after all. Great events transpire, and with the exception of a few favor ed leaders and heir bands who happen to have chroniclers of their deeds close at hand, how evor gallant our generals and armies may have acted, whatever of service they may have ren dered their country, it is passed unnoticed, and perhaps the laurels won on the battle-field are placed upon the brows of the unworthy.— Several instances of this species of injustice have already been brought to our attention. It is a hard case for our brave defenders, but the Press is not responsible for the wrong. They must lay it at the door of their country, to which they have devoted their lives and their all. We need hardly say that we take pleasure in laying the letter of Captain Lawton, concern ing the movements of tne brigade of bis Gbief, before our readers. Wc only regret that it did not come from another who was not restrained by motives of delicacy from speaking of things as they were, and doing full justice to the gal lant Georgians of that corps and its leaders. We hope yet to have it in our power to supply the omission, as we expect in the course of a very few days to have our old correspondent again in tho field. Wo may be permitted, though, to say here, that whilst we have re ceived nothing for publication, we have seen a number of private letters that reflect the highe-st credit upon G.tteral Lawton for his promptness, judgment and unwavering gal lantry throughout the perils of that never-to-be forgotten and sanguinary conflict. His brigade was attached to Stonewall Jackson’s command, took part in that grand strategic march across the country from the Shenandoah, and was in the thickest of the fight before Richmond. At a future day, we hope to make a suitable re cord of their deeds. In this connection, wc may state that we re publish Captain Battcy’s letter concerning the fight at Cold llirbor, as numerous errors oc curred in its first appearance. Characteristic —Every step made by the Yankee government in this war has proved a blunder. Tho Almighty seems to have strick en the whole nation with “judicial blindness.” What a confession is it to be made belorethe world, after all their boasts of their inexhausti ble numbers and means, and the utter insignifi cance of the “Rebels,” that they arc invaria bly overcome “by superior forces.” What a damning implication against them and their cause, when they tacitly confess their weakness by a proposition to impress the slaves of the South to aid th'-m in lighting their battles! What will Europe say when she hears these things frmn the lips of the Yankees themselves? But the most characteristic part of the pro ceedings is the particular use to which the Lin coln govertimont propose to put these impress ed and stolen slaves, after they get them in the army. It was set forth by their great spokes man, Thadeus Stephens, in a late speech to the House. A correspondent reports him as follows: “He was lor armiug the negroes as the army advanced —for setting lree Hie Slavs, and for dividing tho heritage in lands of the rebels among (he soldiers. To save the lives of our kin dred-of the North he would put the negroes in the fore front of the bottles, winch means that he would make the slain negroes the cpanlemcnts or breastworks for tho white soldiery.” Is there anything in civilized or savage life more utterly diabolical, cowardly and mean than this ? Taking the uegroes of the South to make breastworks for the Yankees ! The Battles uefore Richmond.— ln absence of all Confedera e accounts, we have com menced to day, and will finish to-morrow, a minute and connected narrative of the late bat tles before Richmond, prepared by the corres pondent of theCiucinnati Commercial. Though coming from the enemy, and opposed in many important resp cts to our own newspaper ver sion, it is still well written and replete with in terest. At a future day, we shall know, from the dull, prosy reports of our Generals, our own side of the question. Few will (eel an in terest to read them, as was the case with B 'au regard's official account of the battle of Ma nassas, which appeared months after the en gagement. Interesting from Fredericksburg.— The Richmond Examiner of lfitu, says :—We have late advices from Fredericksburg, which strong ly imply tho design of tho Federal forces there under command of General King to retire t> Washington. There had positively been no southward movement from there of any con siderable portion of General King’s forces.— About sixty or seventy Yankee marauders had appeared at Bowling Green, in Caroline coun y; but there had been no demonstration towards Gordonsville or beyond tho Imm idiate objects of plunder in Caroline county. Last Friday night the Yankees destroyed the bridge across the Rapidsu, with the supposed object of facili tating their retreat to the line of the Potomac. Is this True —The New York Herald of the 11th inst. says : “The Sub-Treasury of this city received to-day a special deposit of 3338,000, which is not likely to be claimed in a hurry. It seems that when New Orleans fell if was dis covered that the rebel Government had a sum of nearly a quarter of a million to its credit in the banks of that city.* This sum Gen. Butler ’claimed on behalf of the United States, and by a little gentle pressure succeeded in persuading the bank' to draw lor it on their correspondent banks in this city. The dratts were paid this morning The deposit was made, we believe, in theuam of the ‘so-called Conlederate Gov ern aunt.’ ” Captured Arms. — A Richmond paper says ; It is iouud, upon examination, that compara tively few of (he muskets captured from tae Yankees in the battle below Richmond have sustained serious damage. The fact is, they did not have time, on their famous retreat trom the Chickahominy, to make the destruction of pr. pert) complete, and hence we find, in a lot of twenty thousand, uo: more than a thousand that cannot be rendered as good &s new. These arms are generally of su;ertor quality, iuelu - iog mint of recent invention and European manufacture. S-A.TTTIR^-A.'Y, JULY £6, 1862- Tennessee ana Kontudsy to be Free, The news from the above named States is full of Interest, and Warrants ns in looking for ward to their disenthrallment at nn early day. The despatches show that our forces are using every energy to surround and ent oil the ma lignant invaders who have taken possession of Nashville, together with the large array in the South that is moving for its defense. In addi tion to the facts related, there Is, in all proba bility, apovre’ful force Immediately in the rear of Buell, which, on attaining a certain point, will, by a dexterous flank movement, com pletely cut off the entire Federal army iu that quarter. Their communication with Kentucky, by land and water, ha3 already been lost. The country will look with intense interest to the result of these movements, and a few days will serve to bring them to a head. With Nashville, the whole of Tennessee, except Memphis which is under the cover of Federal gunboats, must return to our hands, and we hope with many a traitor to grace our triumph. Andy Johnson would be cheap at almost any cost, and we trust every effort will be made to secure him. Next to Butler, he should be the object of our special desire, and both should be made to dangle from the same beam Kentucky—gallant but down-trodden Ken tucky—how we long to clasp her again to our arms ! She has ever been true, but the heel of the oppressor has borne hard upon her the .gti££Af Lbe4yauf'ttyoUled"fier sons. With a patriot army to stand the backs of her brave people, she will soon throw off the yoke, and assert, on blood-stained fields, her right to be free. Apart from the nest of Yankee specula tors who have nestled within her borders, and a f ew corrupt and superannuated politicians, her people have ever despised the vile abolition tyranny at Washington, and desired the power to assert their independence of its control. Thank God ! the day of their redemption is at hand. With Nashville taken and all made safe in our rear, our Army of the West will have an easy march to the banks of the Ohio. With proper energy and military skill, it would have been there long ere this, and we rejoice that we have now in command of our forces leaders who are up to the requirements of the hour. Indeed, since the defeat of the Grand Federal Army of the Potomac, our entire political sky seems lighted up with the Bow of Promise. The enemy, powerful as he is, has been driven back at almost every point, and even on the Missis sippi, where he was considered omnipotent, the batteries of a single town have kept his victo rious fleets at bay for many weeks. To these is now added a single vessel of war, which in augurated its career by sinking several of his powerful ships and causing his mortar boats and transports to fly like sheep from an army of wolves. We look to its future labors with many hopes, and a prayer that it may prove a corse and scourge to the invaders. Wherever we turn our eyes, we see much to cheer us, and promise complete success for our cause. We have only to follow up what we have begun, with a spirit dauntless and un flagging, to bring the enemy to our feet as a suitor for peace, and that at an early day. Let us carry the scourge of war into his own terri tory, and teach him what it is to look upon a scene of desolation and war, such as he has scattered ail over our unhappy land wherever he could gain a foothold. Apart from local financial distress and a few bereaved heavt3, he has yet known none of the horrors of war. When his fields shall have been laid waste, his cities sacked and burned, his country overrun by a fierce soldiery, and his women and children sent flying to the wilderness for shelter, he will have realized something of a fate he has cruelly imposed on ns Blood-thirsty New York. —A town meet ing is everything with the speculators and job bers of New York. One is always necessary to inaugurate a great event, and to celebrate or deplore it after it has happened. A town meet ing was the first thing that popped into tin ir heads on hearing of the defeat of McClellan and the disgrace of their army. It was, no and >ubt, quite opportune. Yankeedom was low in spin s, weak in tho back, aud sick ai .tire stomach. Something must be done to relieve the patient, especially as certain sage but indiscreet doctors had proclaimed that the malady was a desperate one. Well, the meet ing was held, the spirits of the people were talked up, and strengthened by pouring spirits down, blood and thunder were denounced against the Rebels, and the whole meeting doubtless worked up to a degree of wrath that threatened explosion, when a cold water dash from Heaven —sent no doubt as a special pro vidence-cooled down the enthusiasm and broke up Lhe meeting. We hope Gotham feels better for having let off its pent up steam, and from the way it talks that it will be ready to give Stonewall Jackson a respectable entertainment in the way of a light by the time he gets there. Thera will probably bear other meeting at that day to determine the question of surrender. Charleston courier.— We have no desire for controversy, or in any manner courting the ill will of the senior editor of the Courier. If to correct him for what everybody but him self regarded as indelicate, hasty, and wrong, be a “discourtesy,” he must continue to re gard it as such, though it was not so intended In his garrulity incident to advanced years— which, however, should have brought with them discretion —ho wounded tho feelings of many, and did injustice to Savannah and the State to which she belongs, whether intentional or not we cannot say ; the meaning of men is inferred from the obvious signification of lan‘ guage.- This was the offense, and for it we ad ministered a deserved rebuke. We are pleased to see that it has been received as such, and trust it will inspire greater care and caution for the future. We have every respect for age, but cannot see how a man who claims the right to speak his opinion freely through the public press, should be exempt from responsibility and stricture on account of his years. It is too late for the senior editor of the Cour ier to call for enlightenment after he has essayed to teach the truth to the public. He should have been sure of his facts before he ventured to become the instructor of Savannah and Georgia in the line of their duty We would, however, even at this late day, assure him tha he is wholly mistaken as regards the existence of a contingency in the matter in question, in which an obligation on the part of either our city or State, or even the friends ol the party referred to, would accrue. We have this from the very best authority, and hope he will at least say to the public, in correction of his for mer statement, that he was mistaken. We disclaim all desire to wound the feelings of, or ofler disrespect to, the senior editor of the Charleston Courier. One of Butler’s Tkicka— The Federal Gov ernor of New Orleans is as cunning as he is in famous and brutish. He is full of invention, and never staggers at the means necessary for the attainment of his ends. It was announced iu his official order of banishment against Mrs. Phillips, published some days ago, that another of his victims, a man named Keller and of hum ble position in life, bad rejected the privilege of communicating with Mrs. P. during the term of his sentence to Ship Island, this fact being engrafted on bis order for the purpose of in sulting and humiliating the lady in question. The iacts, which have reached us from an authentic source iu Mobile, show that Butler resorted to a deception and a lie in order to gratify his purpose, and induce Keiier to re flect upon Mrs. P. It appears that there lives in New Orleans a well-known proprietor ot a house of i!l-fame by the name of Mrs. Phil lips, and that Butler and his sateiites induced Roller to suppose this was the lady that had been made his associate in banishment. Hence his refusal to bar. anyihing to do with her. The trick is characteristic of the man wiio In vented it, and, were it pot-ibe, would sink him still deeper iu the slough of infamy.

These things ought not to be so. Our people cannot bearxbe expenses. J hey are called upon for money to supply the inoi vidual wants of their sons; Hi camp.

They are taxed to support needy families at home—they are taxed to raise money for the public defence, Savannah included— they? are taxed hj*gb by those Rail road kings, and oppressed and scorned at every step, while their sons are' defending Savannah. There is still another evil In Savannah. The prices charged the soldiers Mr what they buy is ruinous to them. They g'-l 811 per month, and when expended in tjtes'aßtiab, furnishts them comparatively lUtHSftP relieve their wants.

A. it G Railroad, nnd which finds its way to Savannah, and is sold to the soldiers at an enormous per cent. Can we bear this state of thing ? The answer is, No ! Savannah must right herself if she is to be defended. She must be just and generous to our citizens and sol diers, at least as long as the War continues. — We want to see Savannah defended i t all hazards ; but ir< the name of all that is sacred, don’t seek to impoverish our people, while they are ready*to pour out their blood in your defence. The foregoing attack ou Savannah needs no reply. It was. designed to impose an unworthy prejudice on the weak minded, for every eensi b!e man will answer it for liitnseif. We pub lish it simply to show how a man can talk when he ceases to respect himself, casts aside common honesty and fairness as troublesome incumbrances, and repudiates his responsibility to his God for ihe “deeds done in the body.” Savannah banks have declined to receive on deposit Cotton Planters’ Bank notes, and there is the whole secret of the reckless, unjust, and systematic attacks upon the city by its village newspaper. The public wll know how to ap preciate such a warfare and its authors. Will the editor point us to a eity iu the Con federate States where soldiers make their pur chases on better terms than they do iu Savan nah. Can they make them on as good terms in Mobile, Charleston or Ilehmond? We say they cannot. And, agaiD, is not the very fact of the presence of a large body of soldiers at Savannah one of the causes of high prices, and do not the citizens of Savannah share the hard ship ? But why reasou with one who is resolved to be both maiiguant and blind T Ltttviou’s Brigade iu lU* Battles before HlcUmoud. Four Miles from Richmond, i Georgia Bi ’glide, 14-h July, 1863. j Hr. Jlcbtor: Dear Sir—Up to this time the Brigade to which lam attached has been sati3 lied with the work it has performed in the field, without sending home to the newspapers ac counts of the action in which it lifts been en gaged. Indeed, if there hai been tho disposition to do so, we were without the means; for, pressed as wc have been day and night, since our first engagement of the 27tb ult., without writing materials, worn down with rapid marches, night watches and outlies, wc w*rq,|fl|fcvty Vri condition eve® to send a few lines to uirhonus to advise our friends of our escape from death and wounds. I do* not now propose to give a statement of the part borne by our brigade in the late battles; but recent publications in the Savan nah papers, tending to do injustice to tins fine body of men, reuder it proper and perhaps necessary, that someone who was on the field dur ng every part of the engagements they were in,should state a few facts connected with th’.ir action, particularly on the 27th ult. In a recent issue of your paper I see a state ment, made by Mr.’ Cevor, the balloonist, which is not true. He says he saw Lawton’s Brigad charge gallantly upon a battery, but fail to take it, and the Texts Brigade succeeded in capturing it. It Mr. Cevor had been suspended in the air above tho battle field, the smoke and dust would have rendered it utterly impossible for hitn to diS tinguish one brigade from another. His pre tention to know this circumstance obser vation in his balloon is simply ridiculous. The facts connected with the brigade on that day are, in a few words, as follows: When General Lawton received orders to bring his troops imo action, they c irae forward handsomely and in fine order, and their conduct at the beginning of the fight, and through the whole engage ment, was such as to call forth the hearty com mendations of his superior officers ou more thau one occasion. From an utter ignorance of the ground we were to pass over, which was broken with hills and ravines, and the unusual length of our line of battle—onr brigade consisting of six large regiments—the two regiments on the left, the 81st and 38ih, became separated from the rest of the brigade early in the action. I was sent after these regiments, but we net cr succeeded in joining the General till the battle was over. We fought in another part of the field, and I can bear testirhony to the gallantry and steady C 'Urage of the men of both regiments. Neiliu r regiment yielded one foot of ground trom the moment we entered the battle till wo laid down to rest on the field, which they had wrested from the enemy ; but steadily advanced during the whole engagement. The loss of these two regiments was 315 in killed and wounded. The portion of the brigade, with Gen. Law ton—four regiments—made no charges and at tempted none—the enemy gave them no oppor tunity. The only charges made by any por tion of the brigade, were by the 3S h * R"g - meut —the first, between sunset and daik in connection with the Fifth Virginia and First Maryland, the latter a mere fragment of a regi ment, though a gallant one, was on three regi ments of it *gul ir Infantry. It was perfect';/ successlol. We drove th tn from the field, anil have never heard of them since, except the prisoners we took. The second charge w*s with the same reg ments, after dark, ou a bit terv, uh ch wc took. No T.xsns were there, either. The lexas Brigade was in another part of the field, wh re they behaved with great gallantry, driving the enemy and ta king several batteries. I am told, u her the lead of their skillful and brave commander, Genera Hood In the engagement of Tuesday, the Ist Julv, onr brigade was not ordered in advance till nighttali, and had no opportunity to do any thing except to show their pro dipt alacrity in going to a post of danger in the night and hold ing it. Though they were not engaged, wit: the exception of the 'Thirteenth Regiment, they were under fire from the enemy’s artillery for hours, losiog several killed and a good many wounded by shells. This regiment being in advance was led for ward rapidly by the Genera! to the position where he understood we were needed, not wait ing for the rest of the brigade to emerge from a thick wood in which they were station ed. They charged a height, where they had several kJlcd and wounded and held it till the Gen. went hack aud led the remainder of his c >mmand to the same position. Tnere the Brigade remained until we were ordered to march, two Jays alter. When this height was occupied hy the loth, it wa the most exposed position on the field—and the nearest to the enemy’s ba’teries and continued to be so, un til the enemy retired before daylight. You will pardon me for trespassing on your time Bat 1 hesitate the less to do so, as I know vou feel an interest iu every Georgia B igtde. I w ish your excellent correspondent "P. W. A.” was here. In the Richmondpapers you will find all that Vtrg ci3 troops did, but very little more. Yours very truly, ' E P. L iWTON. The French in New Yoke —The following notice appears iu the local column of the New Y'oik Herald ot the 11th: On Tuesday evening next a meeting of for eigners will be held at ibe Cooper Institute to prepare an address to the French Emperor, urging him to abstain from intervention In onr domestic quarrels.

I went oil boa r d of the Vanderbilt this morning, and saw lying all over the boat, 850 wounded and dying men. I sickened at the sight,- but was compell ed for the sake oi humanity, to do alll could to aid them. T there saw Col. Bratton, of South Carolina, a rebel Colonel who' fell upon the field, not dead, but badly wounded; he and five of his command are prisoners, .'all badly wound ed, some of the wounded men hit in f >uror five places. These men are less than one-fourtb that fell upon the Hold of battle on last Satur day near Richmond. The rebels then attacked tho Union troops and completely routed them, taking all their stores, artillery, ammunition, &e. On Sunday there were 6omo fighting, which the papers report as being terrible, and that they gained all they lost on Saturday, but this is not so. I have my information tmm best sources. The rebels fought terribly hard, and I very much fear McClellan’s army will be completely routed if he does not receive rein forcements. Y osterday, Sumner’s division was attacked again by the. rebels, but we have not received any news of the result, as tho wires are down from h ndquarUT'. We have lost a grea' many off! ers, numbers of Colonels, Lieut. Col onels, Majors, &c. <fec. I was Informed one boat alone via* tilled with officers. “3 _ of Cos.

Murfreesboro’ last Sunday morning about, fiv • | o’clock. A battle with the enemy stationed | there, about 1 800 strong, ensued, lasting about j five hours. Over 100 Yankees were killed and a large number captured. Our loss does not exceed 25 in killed, with but few wounded. ‘ Forrest captured 800 mules, 165 horses, 65 road I wagons laden with commissary stores, and a battery of four brass pieces with caissons. He 1 burnt three locomotives with freight trains at tached, filled with commits try and otherstores, • and burnt tho depot building, which was full of stores. The gtiUnt Colonel was paroling I ihe captured men on Monday morning, but re ! taining the officers—one of whom was Briga ! dier General Tom Crittenden, son of the “old i man elephant .” j Col.

Wc never moved Irom the position we occupied in lino of battle, until we were ordered to charge, and we never wavered, but accomplished all that mould be done—put the enemy to flight, and slept on the ground that night. Col. Parr and Major Mathews were wounded early in the engagement, and the command devolved on me, and with Ca’pt. Lawton’s and Capt. McLeod’s assistance our work was well done.
