Our A’ounded at Richmond.— The Exam iner says that the whole number of wounded admitted : o the Seabrook receiving and way side hospital, since May 6th, up the 20th, was four thousand four hundred and nineteen. Os this number, ten were received dead and un known : seventy were admitted and died with in the hour of their reception, and fouiteen were received too badly wounded to be dis tributed to the other hospitals, and died with in ST'S or seven hours after admission. The whole number of deaths from the evening of the Bth iust., up to six o'clock of the 20th, was seventy-three, a very small per cent age out of nearly five thousand.'

We received last night, too Lite to enable us to publish copious details, tx copy of the ! New York Herald, of the 19th, last Thursday. The Herald's situation article is filled with falsehoods, as our readers will very readily perceive upon reading the following: Mr. Stanton dispatphed to General Dix, at a quarter before eleven o'clock last night, that no official intelligence had been received up to that time either from Gen. Grant, Gen. But ler or General Sherman. The latest reports from Gen. Grant were that the roads were in ■fine order, that reinforcements were arriving, and that he designed to move against the ene my without delay. Mr. Stanton states further that the government designs to keep up the ‘national forces until the rebellion is over thrown ; and, in order to provide against any iuopportune reduction when the services of the hundred days men go out, a draft to fill up their place and all other reductions will be ordered, to take place on the Ist of July, by which time the new enrollments will be com pleted. A forged proclamation, alleged to have come from the President, calling for four hun dred thousand men, and appointing a day of humiliation and prayer, was sent from some ' quarter to all the papers of this city yesterday morning with the view no doubt of going to I Europe by the steamer of yesterday, in order jrto counteract the inteiiigftnce of Gen. Grant’s recent successful operations, and afford an opportunity for the rebel schemers in England ! and France to gain some advantage Two of j the city papers which published the bogus I proclamation were suppressed last night by j order of General Dix, and a military toput I in possession of their offices. the Baltimore Transcript has also been suspended for publishing a dispatch stating 1 that the loss of the Army of the Potomac was ! seventy thousand men, and pretending that the ! same came from the Associated Press. The news from the Shenandoah valley rep : resents that General Crook has fought three 1 battles near Newbern, with the forces of Gens. Morgan, Sam Jones and A. G, Jenkins, gaia ! iug a complete victory over the enemy, who I lost six hundred killed and wounded and i three hundred prisoners. Gen. A. G. Jen | kins fell into oar bands, mortally wounded. A large railroad bridge over New river, at Newbern. with several miles of track, was 1 completely destroyed. A dispatch from Mr. Stanton to Gen. Dix : last night, confirms all these facts. Our correspondents with Gen. Butler’s j force give a very perfect account in our coi -1 uruns to-day of the late attack and repulse of ; Gen. Beauregard $ forces upon our troops at Proctor's creek. Genera! Heckman had a | narrow escape from being captured by the enemy. The rebel loss was between three and four thousand. Our troops were in gallant , spirits afte-r the contest. We have news from New Orleans to the 11th instant. It reported there that two cf ! oar blockading vessels had been captured by i the rebels off Sabine Pass. The army of Gen. j Banks was at Alexandria on the 4th inst.— Vigorous efforts Were then making to clear the river so as to admit the downward pas ■ sage of the gunboats then above the tails. — 1 The army was in excellent spirits, in good fighting condition, and baa thirty -j ; -ys r-i --i tions.- i Dispatcher from Cairo report the blockade of the Red, the White, and tne Arkansas riv ' ers. below Little Rock, completed.

Before this e-: in..icnced tive hos'ilit:es against Lee His necesc-ni; : suspension of operations has had the most excellent, effect upon our men. and upon th£ conuitioacf our army. The soldiers are rested Hind ready, and when they move again it will gwwifcb tiie multiplied vigor and high morale twffr%ive the greatest possible momentum to an army. Lee's forces will not much longer be an obstruction in their path. We give to-day a full and particular ac count of the battle on the James river, in which General Butler suffered some loss. This battle was simply a desperate sortie of the rebel garrison to break our lines. It wa3 made under cover of a heavy fog, and was as nearly as possible a parallel to the battle oflnkerman. In that battle the Russians at tacked the English lines in the same way and for the same purpose that the rebels attacked General Smith’s lines, and were in the same way repulsed after a hard fight. General Smith's lines were temporarily broken ; but at the close of the fight they were drawn exactly the same as. they had been before. * * We have had a reverse in Western Virginia and the defeat of the troops under General Sigel. This ought not to have happened, and would not have happened if all the instruc tions for the movement had been properly car ried out. Yet it is a mere feather in the scale. Jit cannot, in any way. affect cr turn aside the great operations that are to accomplish Grant’s plans. Asa victory, Gen. Sigel’s movement would have contributed to the great result; but as a defeat, it mu3t stand alone, and can have no weight at all in the determination of the grand question that General -Grant, is we hope, so soon to settle. There is cot a word in tfce Herald from Sher man. Ifinancial. Monetary circles were considerably excited for a tirm? yesterday over a bogus proclama tion which was represented as coming from the President, and gold advanced, under the belief that it was genuine, to 1844 ; but it was soon ascertained that it had been pub lished for the purpose of influencing the mar ket, and the premium declined to Stocks were buoyant in the morning, and continued strong throughout the day. Government se curities were less firm, and a fraction lower. There was no change in the money market. Owing to the lalge rise in gold there was considerable excitement in commercial circles* yesterday, and all kinds of merchandise were unsettled and mostly nominal. Bnt higher prices were demanded for everything, and the sales were at advanced rates. butler’s command retired. , A correspondent of the Herald, dating Head quarters, Eighteenth Army Corps, in the Field, May 16. writes : General Butler’s command has retired be hind it3 entrenchments. . Met by a superior force, and holding their ground throughout the day by desperate fighting, both Smith's and Gillmore’s commands retired at nightfall from before the enemy’s position, and now are so strongly entrenched as to be able safely to defy any force the rebels may bring against them. Another correspondent writes : To-day we.have had the most severe battle that has occurred in this campaign, and we were driven from the position we held last night. ' REBEC, PRISONERS. About 600 rebel prisoners were captured Many, or them were taken in the fog, before they were aware that they were in the midst of our troops. Major T. P. Branch, chief of staff of Gen. Ransom, rode into our line in the fog and was captured. The Crisis in the North. —The action of the Administration and Congress at Wash ington is beginning to exhaust the patience of the country-! not of its opponents, but of its opponents, but of it3 friends. Hear what the New York Times, a strong republican paper, says . 9 Gold at 175, and Congress, with tax bill, tariff bills, bank bills, every financial measure, lifeless and shapeless, engaged in putting down freedom of debate in the national Cap itol 1 In ihe name of loyal people we protest. It is a disgrace and an outrage. We tell these men at Washington that passion is making them mad. It is an absolute infatuation that has seized them. Their words strike upon, the ears of the people like the gibberish of Bedlam. Where have the senses of Congressmen gone that they do not realize the terrible burdens that rest upon the people, and the fearful dan gers that confront the Government ? By their default, the prices of everything that sustains life are rapidly mounting. The currency is gradually turning into worthless rags. Inch by inch, foot by foot, the Government moves od, straight before the eyes of its guardians, towards the bottomless pit of bankruptcy— yet distant, but unless they act. inevitable.— Not an arm uo they raise to save it. Another paper cries out .• At the present moment, our national debt, with the interest, which we pay, fully equals, if it does not exceed, the national debt of Great Britain. And yet, day by day, we are sinking deeper m this fathomless pit ; day by ‘day our debt increases at the rate of more than a million and a half of dollars, and we, seem ingly, as far from the accomplishment of our object as we were three years ago. Upon this mournful scene no light can shed under the present policy of the Administration. Curious Discovery. —It is said that Major Tiemann, at his paint factory in Manhattanville. has accidentally made a discovery which threatens te revolutionize floriculture. One of the factory hands having thrown some liquid green paint ol a particular kind on a flower bed occupied bv white anemones, the flowers have since made their appearance with petals as green a-i grass. The paint had in it a peculiar and very penetrating chemical mixture, which Mr. Tiemann has since applied-with other colors, to other plants, annual, bi ennial, and of the shurb kind—the resuit being invariably that the flower so watered took the hue of the liquid deposited at their roots. By continuing experiments early next year* during seedtime, and ap plying different colors, we shall uo doubt be enabled to “paint the iiliy,” which was ‘Solomon’s ambition. — Is. V. Tribune. Bacon. —Some days since (says the Liar ion) a little over G'JO,OOO pounds ot bacon was received at this point from the Grenada districts, being the tithes collected! by the Government. The Yankee idea <|>f starving us into submis sion grows sbu’.i and beautifully less, from day to dajy, as the true resources of our country are being developed. The war in Schleswig is probably at an end. The last uoiu the Danes had on the main land of Schleswig, the fortifications at Duppel, has fallen, after a Mege of two months, into the hards of the Prussians, The Danish army ha- eflecteu a retreat into the island of ALsen, but not without suffering many serious losses $4.00 Per Month Froiujthe Aorlh. We get the following interesting summary ot news from the New York Daily News of the 12tn instant: COMMERCIAL. The gold market opened this morning at 174 and rose to 175. There were then, as usual, a number of rumors in relation to the army, put afloat by the “shorts,’ and the rate, un supported by any extreme custom house de mand. fell to 173, at which rate it regained until two o'clock, when it rallied to 173*;, and continued to rise to 17510176 at the close. There was- very little aoing in exchange to day. Money was very plenty and many commis sion houses, after being supplied at 5 per cent., refused further sums at that figure, and considerable amounts were left over unem ployed. The enormous military losses are entailing va3t sums upon the treasury ; the 100,000 Western Reserves will require $25,000,000 and 100,000 men have already been lost at Red river, at the Rapidan, and at Chattanooga. The Administration papers admit 40,000 lost to Grant already. Tho accounts from Banks are that 11,000 remain out of GO,OOO. The battles of Sher man had consumed 20,000, the North Carolina disasters 5,000 more. We have here 115,000 men with all their materiel hors du combat. This money means $100,000,000 added to the demands upon the treasury, which with the $25,000,000 for the reserves, and $30,000,000 more added to the troops, makes $101,000,000 to be met by a destitute treasury seriously in arrears, and with the whole amount of author ized legal tender of all description nearly ex hausted, while the head of the department is determined to borrow at 5 per cent., or not at all. This aspect of affairs is certainly not en couraging, and may well make merchants pause before entering into new engagements. The advices from Europe in relation to the position of foreign governments is also of a gloomy nature, and when the record of the last thirty days goes out there may be disas trous results to the remains of American credit. Where is Forrest ? Tae whereabouts of Gen. Forrest is a ques tion of considerable, if not momentous inter est at this time. He is too important a man to be idle at the present juncture ; and besides, having cleared West Tennessee, with the ex ception of a few points on the river, ot the Yankees, there is nothing for him to do in that region. Public expectation places bl3 appropriate work in the rear of Sherman’s army. We feel safe in promising our readers that he will be heard from ere many days, striking his usual healthy blows, in Middle Tennessee or North Georgia. We were credi bly informed a day or two ago, that with thousand tavalry lie left Corinth, Miss., to operate on Sherman's lines of communication, resolved to do effectual work in the way of destroying bridges, tearing up railroads, cap turing trains and gobbling up Yankee imsce genators. His first job would be the destruc tion of the railroad leading from Athens, in this State, by Columbia to Nashville, over which the bulk of Sherman’s supplies are carried. Decatur, Morgan county, would offer inducements for capture very tempting to him and his troops. Here, over the Tennessee, is one of the larg est and most important bridges in the Con federate States. The garrison, toe. has prob ably been serious-V weakened to augment the army of Sherman.* At Huntsville, Ada., the Yankees were in very small force at last direct accounts, and could be easily taken.— Then for the Nashville and Chattanooga road, thus breaking railroad communication with Nashville. Coming down into Georgia and near Sherman, Forrest can.render the escape of the army confronting Gen. Johnston next to impossible. But General Forrest is better posted than we are, and will certainly strike effectually the most vital points. He will prove again to be the evil genius of Gen. Sher man, whom he defeated in Mississippi by routing his Commissary at Okaiona. We await intelligence from the “ Wizard of the Saddle,” with iatetest, but full confidence in his success, and shall not be surprised soon to hear of the master stroke of the present cam paign.—Montgomery Anvertiser.
