A Horrible Outrage. —We learn from the Petersburg Register that anether most foul' and brutal outrage has just come to its knowledge. The Yankee devils visited a respectable house in Prince George, at which were two ladies, a mother and an unmarried daughter. The villains strip ped the ladies stark naked, and made the mother, in this nude condition, regale them with tunes on the piano. “Are there no stones in Heaven but servo for the thunder?” - Births in Cura.— lt appears by a communi cation to tho French Academy that the climate of Cuba is excedingly favorable to fecuadity. Very often twelve, and sometimes more than doable that number of children are found in one family. Many Cuban beauties become mothers at thirteen, and reappear in that character up to the age of fifty. Promoted. —Bushrod Jehnsten, whoso Brigade has been conspicuously engaged in the recent bat tle* on the Southside, has, on aocoHnt of distin guished gallantry, been made a Major General. Tnx Fourth of Jult.— About two years ago, says the Richmond Dispatch, the Yankees boasted that they would celebrate their 4th es July in Richmond. Their Grand Army, headed by the ablest of their Generals, was then on tho same spot it now occupies. They are again full of prophecy and patriotism. Grant, who celebrated his last 4th in Vicksburg, will celebrate the next 4th in Richmond 1 Perhaps se! But the Scrip tin'© saith: “Let not him that putteth on his har ness beast himself like him that taketh it off.” Suspension of the Privilege ol the Writ of Habeas Corpus Congress haying failed to re-enact the law authorizing the suspension of the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus, that law falls to the ground by its own limitation, in August next. But not so the political howl that has been raised over it. We only hope that events soon so bo developed may not show that Con gress. in failing to re-enact the law, were wanting in firmness and prudence, if not also in patriotism. It is true, there was much clamor against it, and it was natural that there should be. The country at large could not ! appreciate its necessity, from the fact that tha i peculiar circumstaaces that called it forth j were of a nature that could not be made pub. | lie without information ty the enemy that might be dangerous to the country. Thus ! the great body of the people, the patriotic : and unsuspecting people, saw a valued priv ! ilege suspended without adequate expiana ; tion or due assignment of reasons showing ! the necessity of such suspension. It was true ! that the position of the country rendered such explanation impossible for the time being, aud a little reflection upon this fact might have stilled the tumult, and at least leu to a sus pension of judgment until such time as judg ment could be formed in view of a full knowl edge of the facts. But it will naturally sug gest itself to the mind that there were those who knew or suspected reasons that could not | publicly b« assigned : who saw or thought ■ they saw that their own traitorous designs and factious courses must- be put a stop to, even if their own personal safety and comfort should not be seriously interfered with. These people in the absence of information which the Administration could not give ccnsisteni ly with a due regard to the public interests, set themselves to work ta poison mind with | suggestions of treason against public libeity. !of tyranny and. wrong.- They worked cau tiously and adroitly.

Contrary to public expectation -there was not a general engagement yesterday between the two great armies now massed near the .corporate limits of Petersburg. From certain movements of the enemy,' which were unmis takeably apparent oa Sunday, every body with whom we conversed, fully expected the ball to open at an early hour yesterday, j* thought too, that the chief efforts of ths foe would be directed against onr left, as in that direction he was observed actively moving on Sunday. But as an evidence of the uncer tainty of military operations, all was unusu ally quiet up to half past six o’clocklast even ing, on that part of the enemy's lines. It may be that the enemy contemplates an assault here, and as it is very near the river and would give him control of that important stream, we should not be surprised at any moment to hear that Grant had made one of his charac teristic assaults in the vicinity of Jordan’s Farm, but, of course, he is under the eye of watchful leaders, and strike where he will an opposition, will be offered, that will test the metaland endurances of his hordes to their fullest capacity. On other portions, of the lines there was heavy skirmishing yesterday, but nothing more. - The enemy have learned a lesson du ring the past four or five days, which has not been without its salutary effects. Heapproacli es now with great caution, and the least show of determined opposition on our part, gener ally causes him to desist. This especially the case yesterday. ARTILLERY PRACTICE. There was considerable artillery practice yester day, as must always be the case whero two armies of such magnitude ooufront each othor. The dam age inflicted, if any, we could not ascertain. THB enemy’s BARBARITY. The inhuman, uncivilized and anti Christian practice of the barbarous foe, was continued yes terday without abatement. All the day long, at intervals of every five minutes, his shell were thrown into the city. Fortunately, the ingenious foe have discovered no plan or method of deaden ing or destroying the sound, when they hurl their deadly missiles into our midst, and every report which falls upon the ear, puts all persons in ex posed situations on the watch. Their whizzing sound and rapid flight through the air, are easily heard and sees, and hence we are glad to know that the damage inflicted yesterday amounted to comparatively nothing. We heard of a little bricks and mortar being displaced, the pavements torn up in two or three streets, and in one instance a largo store door on Sycamore street was un hinged. But we heard of no injury to life or limb yesterday, and the enemy probably threw an ag gregate of 150 or more shells into the city’s limits. A GREAT DELUSION. It is quite evident from a speech delivered by Lincoln in Philadelphia on Thursday last, that his ticklers, Grant and Stanton, have impressed upon his obtuse brain the ridiculous idea, that the army of the Potomac now occupies a position, from which it cannot bo driven by Gen. Lee. This speech will be found in another portion of to-day’s Express. Never, however, did Lincoln laber un der a more fallacious idea. Os all the positions the Army of the Potomac has occupied, and they have been numerous, no one has been more preca rious than the present. In due time Old Aba will learn to his sorrow, that our opinion on this matter is correct, and that of his “greatest of all living generals” wrong. THE FLAGS OF TRUCE. The flags of truce sent in by the enemy Satur day, and referred to by us yesterday, was forward ed by that cautious Yankee cemmander, Meade. He desired the privilege of burying his dead. Fer obvious reasons, which it is not neeessary here to mention, Gen. Beauregard courteously, but per emptorily declined to grant the requests. It seems a little singular, that in all the heavy fights in the Wilderness and around Spetsylvania Courthouse, thousands upon thousands of Yankee dead, were permitted to bako and fester, and yet no solieitude was manifested for their burial. But now when the fatal casualties are not near so large, because of the fewer numbers eugaged, the enemy mani fests an undue anxiety to put his dead under the sod. This glaring inconsistency must strike eve ry reader at the first glance. THE EXEMT’S STRENGTH. An ordinarily intelligent Teuton, who fell into our hands Saturday night, gave the bravo Confed erate who captured him, a ; statement of Grant’s forces, which is believed teibe in the main correct. He says Grant’s army now! on the seuth side of James river, is composed 1 of tho Second, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, Eighteenth and Twentieth Corps.— The Second, commanded by Hancock*; the Fifth by. Warren, and tho Ninth by Burnside, are ail op erating around Petersburg. The Eighteenth, com manded by Baldy Smith, is at and near Bermuda j- Hundreds.*! Tho Tenth, Eigth and Twentieth, ! have no regular commanders, and are held near l City Point as a reserve. All these army corps have been fearfully reduced sinco the commence ! incut of the present campaign, and many of the regiments composing them, do not now muster 200 men. The prisoner who furnishes this information, 1 says he was enlisted in Germany two and a half years ago, and for the sole purpose of fightiag in ! the Yankee army. 110 is highly pleased at the idea of being taken prisoner. LATEST, Last evening about seven o'clock, the enemy was observed to doublehis pickets on our extreme | left—a generally sure indication of an attack on ! his part. Up to one o’clock; this morning, no en gagement had occurred, but there was much pick ,ei Sriug going on. | , Greek Met ‘Greek. —The following is an ex tract from a private letter written by a lady in the Trans-Mississippi department to a gentleman in Shubina, Miss.

He Suc ceeded in capturing it after a desperate struggle; and immediately turned it on the flying foe. Gen. Churchill, commanding a brigade of Arkansian?. about the jaine time, commenced a charge on the same battery, he thinking that the enemy still held it.

Okaloxa, Miss,, June 14, ISO 4. There is but one fact significant, above all others, in connection with the recent victory of Gen. Forr-st—it is the first which has been won by the smaller over th# huger force. ! where the inequality in numbers was so gregt that every participant in the struggle must 1 have been conscious of the relative strength |of the combatants. Strategy, Forrest's name I and confidence in their leader, won the day. i The Yankees and negroes supposed Forrest m Middle Tennessee, and came forth simply to slaughter the helpless, to plunder and deso late the country. Forrest's strength in the contest was about 3500 men. The number of negroes and whites is not accurately ascertained. Prison ers say that their force was twelve or fifteen thousand. Telegraphic dispatches have given j the general results of the battle, but many j days must elapse* before the details arc known. Prisoners are constantly brought in by the country people. Very few negroes, it seems, have been captured. Perhaps not more than forty or fifty have appeared at headquarters. Most of them fled as soon as it was known that Forrest was on the battlefield. Those that were taken escaped (?) The soldiers say they “lost them.” You may know that most of Forrest’s men are from Western Tennessee. Before the bat tle, fugitives from the counties through which Sturgis and his troop3 were advancing, cam* into our camp detailing incidents which made j men shudder who are accustomed to scenes of violence and bloodshed. I cannot recite the stories of these poor frightened people. Robbery, rapine, and the assassination of men and women, were the least of crimes commit ted while the “Avengers of Fort Pillow” ever ran and the country. Ilude unlet tered men, who had fought at Shiloh, and in many subsequent battles, wept like children when they heard qf the enormities which their mothers, sisters and wives had been subjected by the negro mercenaries of Sturgis. The mildest, most peaceable of our soldiers be came madmen when they heard how the per sons of their kinswomen were violated. The negroes were regardless of the age, condition, sex, or entreties *f their victims. In one in stance, the grandmother, daughter, and grand daughter, were each, in the same room, held by the drunken brutes and subjected to out rages, by the bare recital of which humanity is appalled. A young wife, enciente, taken to a negro encampment, and, tied to stakes driv en in the ground, was made to minister to the hell-born passions of a dozen fiends. Death, in mercy, came to her relief. A little boy, who sought to defend his mother, w'as brutal ly bayoneted. \Yhen their savage lusts were gratified, th® victims here and there were burned in their dwellings. Instantly, in some instances, came to the relief of sufferings such as never were inflicted upon human creaiures by remorseless fiend* in human shape. Ter ror, and th« agony of hopeless shame, and famin*, and fire, and blood, and the assassin ation of the helpless and unoffending, marked the progress of the “Avengers of Fort Pillow.” It is not strange that negro prisoners were “lost.” The whites who led them on and in cited them to these.damnable deeds deierre a more terrible punishment. Yet we have sent three thousand of those whit* men to prison to b* exchanged. Simple justice demands their instant execution by the hangman’s rope. You have heard that our soldiers buried negroes alive at Fort Pillow. This is true.— At the first fire, after Ferreat’s men scaled the walls, many of the negroes threw down their arms and fells as if they were dead. They persisted in the pretence, and could enly be restered at the point of the bayonet. To re suscitate some ©f them, mere terrified than the rest, they were rolled into the trenches mads’ as receptables for the fallen. Vitality was not restored till breathing was obstructed, and then the resurrection began. On these tacts is based the pretext for the crimes com mitted by Sturgis, Grierson, and their follow ers. Yeu must remember, too, that in the ex tremity of their terror, or for other roasons, the Yankees and negroes in Fort Pillow, neg lected to haul down their flag. In truth, re lying upon their gunboats, the officers expec ted to annihilate our forces after we had en tered the fortifications. They did not intend to surrender.

The flag would have been au admission of defeat, and his humanity win? not strong qnqugh to overcome his, vanity. At last he sent a flag* with a proposition, not for a truce to lary his' dead, hut th'at firing should oeafec Oil hot a sides until the dead on- both sides "could be buriecl. tfen.

A corn's* pendent, however, of the New York Times, writes a long letter, describing the mings ling of both parties 6n the field of the dead, each removing its own men Ac cording to this man’s account, It was an arrangement mutually agreed on, and net a simple permission on the part of eral Lee, aud thus it will be represented in every paper in Yaukeedom, Can any body imagine anything more unutterably base !— li felt. Disjxi (ch . When Napoleon had reached Wilna, in his invasion of ltussia, in 1812, a deputa tion of serfs from one of the most popus lous districts of the country waited upon him aud pledged that if he would issue a proclamation emancipating the serfs they would join him to a man. But he declined their overtures, for the leason that it would give a ferocious turn to the wav, causing horrible devastation and un heard of murders. He should, he said, be espousing the cause of barbarism against civilization. He could not for a moment entertain the proposition. Be it remem bered that the Ilussiau serf was a white man, of the same race with his master, and fully as capable of improvement; whereas, the negro is of African descent, and has never been left to himself in any part ot the world without degenerating into a Barbarian. By the employment of the negro the Yankee is actually warring against civilization. But leaving that fact out of the question, can anything be more pitiful than the position of the Y kee, calling upon the negro to assist him in subduing a people whom he boasted of his ability to demolish in ninety days ? What is it but a confession that we are superiors in the proportion of lwenty*to five ?— Richmond Dispatch. • ■ tm • mm Hunter Running. —Major General Hunter, the chief object of whose expes dition, we arc informed by a late number of the New York Tribune, was the caps ture of Lynchburg, is rapidly retreating before the Confederate forces now pursu ing him. An account from a highly au thentic source reached here yesterday, which states that the enemy had been whipped out of Liberty, Bedford county. They retreated in the direction of Bu ford’s Gap, in great disorder and confu* sion. Some two or three hundred prison ers, and three pieces of cannon fell into our hands. We hope soon to hear of Hunter’s utter rout. — Petersburg Express, 21 st. We find in the Wilmington Daily Journal a letter from a Nassau correspondent, giviag a list of the vessels which have run or attemp ted to run the blockade at that port, with the fate of each, from which it appears that out of 425 attempts to run the blockade from Nas sau alone, 363 have been successful, and only 62, or about one in seven, unsuccessful. Thia record should make the European powers blush for shame, if they have any shame left, when ever they look at their celebrated Treaty es Paris, which requires that blockades shall he made efficient or that they shall not be re garded.
