Erratum. —la our special dispatch this
morning the location of Wheeler’s cavalry
fight was rendered “Allatoona.” This was an
error of the printer. The dispatch read ‘*La
toona.” There is no place of that name on
Bonner's map. in the vicinity of our army, but
we presume it is located somewhere in the
enemy’s rear and near Cass Station.
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

was seventy-three, a very small per cent age

Last Monday —Unblushing Lying of
the Herald—Gold Advanced to 1821.
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

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.

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.
