C., > June 24th, 1864. Editor Times: Since last I wrote you nothing of j much import has transpired in this vicinity, although ! the following may interest some of your readers. The monotonous shelling of the city progresses as usual, with comparative harmlessness. Another gun has been recently mounted at Cummins's Point to supply the place of the one known asthe]city gun, which has become so much worn as to be of little service to the enemy. Up to this time the amount of damage clone the city will not exceed one tenth the amount they have expended for ammunition, independent of the wear and tear of their guns, • which arc elevated to such an extent, that the wear is almost incredible. The ’3O-pounder parrott gun is mostly used by these wretches in their malicious sport, Which is sometimes slackened by a well directed shot from Sullivan’s Island or from Battery Simkins. A few days ago I witnessed tho first move the Ironsides has made since a torpedo was exploded under herbowsomo months ago. She was towed off south by a tugboat, with *a barge immediately under her bow, and a second tug at the stern. It is thought she has gone to Hilton Head for repairs.— She certainly needs them. Yesterday alarge monitor passed the bar going South. It appeared to have two turrets and is ru mored by some to be the Dictator. There is mo re than usual activity among the fleet, and it is thought they may make au attack on the 10th proximo, (the anniversary of their attack on Morris Island) think ing our forces have been inuch'redueed to reinforce Lee. We will however, leave that for them to find out on their arrival, should they deem it prudent to venture. About 6 p. m., yesterday the [enemy opened by a battery of mortars from Gregg *on Sumter. At the same time two gunboats lying in Folly Inlet shelled Secessionville for about one hour, which was promptly returned by our batteries. No casualties on eur side. Weather oppressively warm. C. A. S. Vegetables for the Army of Tennessee. We invite the earnest at tention of our citi zens and the people of the surrounding coun try, to the call of Major Dawson for vegetables for the use of Gen. Johnston’s army. Our brave men in that army have been eating salt food exclusively for the past month, and scurvy has resulted to a degree that is truly alarm ing. Vegetable diet is the remedy, and it is most fortunate that the country in the rear can supply, it to an unlimited extent. We trust that our whole people, in city and coun try, will respond in a liberal and patriotic spirit to the call referred to. Send in the vegetables, on Wednesday, to Gunby’s store. imm • g—— The brutality our enemies have shown in j their treatment of women is, above all, both I characteristic of their nation and indicative of | their sense that all is over with the “war for j the Union.” The Examiner recalls two late j examples of this. A few days ago was re corded the case of poor Mrs. Corry, near Beth esda Church, who, after her place was strip ped of every means of subsistence, went to the ruffian who calls himself General Warren, so liciting permission to buy a little portion of her own plundered stores to feed her two sick and starving children. "We keep nothing for sale,” replied the General. "Then,” said the half frantic woman, "I will beg, give me for God s sake, a meal of meat for my sick chil dren.” "Madam,” replied this General, "we read that during the siege of Jerusalem, wo men were reduced to eat their children.”— This scene we haTe verified. It is true; and the man who said those base and coward words commands a corps of the army now thunder ing at our gates. Another example ; a woman, a Virginia woman, mother of Confederate sons, finding herself all alone within the Yan kee liaes, obtained an interview with General | Grant, and solicited a pass to come to Rich mond to her friends for safety. "You are bet ter where you are,” was the answer. "When I enter Richmond women's persons will not be safe.” The Esquimaux and ths Yankees. The New York Herald says that a batch of Esquimaux Indians from the Polar regions have been sojourn ing in that locality for some time, and aro about returning to their frozen lands under the auspices es a Capt. Hall, who has taken it in his head to pay an overland visit to the Arctic -shoro, which is not a very unpleasant summer recreation. But the funniest part of this annunciation will be found in the foßowing passage contained in it Speaking of these Esquimaux, the Herald says : "Whatever fear the people haTe of large bodies es strangers and great ships breaking in upon their semi savage selitude, will be removed in Captain Hall’s case; whilst the unacquaintance which his eompanions, the Esquimaux have acquired with our civilization here will serve,” Ac. This last clause of our quotation is particularly rich. ! * The' New York Herald says that four years xgo j Gen. Grant was a Tanner. If he willlskin all the j carcasses Lee's boys have slaughtered for him since j his army entered SpottsylTania, he will have hides I enough to keep him employed at hie trade for the balance of his life. We hare heard too, that do* skins make good leather. [From the Richmond Enquirer, 22d.] The Kewg-Landing of the En emy at Deep Bottom. The enemy threw a large force acress the James river on Monday night, at Deep Bottom, and proceeded to fortify at Mrs. Groves, near the Kingsland road. During the night sev enteen vessels passed up the river, by Curl’s Neck. It is doubtless the intention of the en emy to throw a pontoon bridge across the i James, end thus hold their lines from the : north of the James, at Deep Bottom, to Peters ; burg . This is known W fiav* k eeQ t j ie po i nt : at which McClellan was striving to reach in his retreat from Richmond, and was prevented by the battle at Malvern Hill. The lines of i lbe enemy from Deep Bottom across Bermuda Hundreds to Petersburg, would be about ten miles, while around, the distance would be nearer twenty. Grant labors under the diffi culty of having to cross two pontoon bridges, but, with his short line, his power of concen -1 tratiou is very great FROM FI TERSEURG. There was no general engagement on Mon | day between Lee and Grant’s armies, though j trom indications given out by the enemy, such j was the expectations on our side. There was I heavy skirmishing on varions portions of our lines and considerable artillery practice.— j Shells were thrown into the city at intervals i of five minutes during the day, but with little : damage. Dispatches received last evening, state that I all was quiet at Petersburg on yosterday. PETERSBURG UNDER THIS ENEMY’S FIRE. The Express says that on Saturday, and ; even Sunday, when the people were wont to ; gather together in the churches, the enemy | scattered their shells, screaming and burst j lug? through the town. It would seem appro , priate to any other nation of ths universe, j professing civilization and Christianity, but j the Yankee nation, that even on enemy j should be allowed to worship their God in peace, bqt the experience of yesterday, show ed the fallacy oi any such expectation from them. On Saturday afternoon, as a group of ladies : and gentlemen were conversing near the cor- I ner of Sycamore street, a shell descended al most in their very midst, and glancing up wards, fell again in Mr. Geo. Bain’s backyard, striking his little son, some four years of age, and nearly killing him. The little fellow was struck in the stomach, and was immediately rendered insensible, from which state he had not recovered yesterday. On the lines of Sycamore and Bollingbrook streets, and in the vicinity of tho Norfolk and City Point depots, the shells fell and exploded repeatedly, sometimes causing slight damage to property. Blandford—from one extremity to the other —and Pocahontas have suffered, the former quite heavily. The people have been mostly compelled to abandon that portion of the town. On Saturday afternoon, a shell burst through a kitchen in the rear of Mr. Knock’s tailor es tablishment, Sycamore street, frightening the occupants, but inflicting no injury. We understand, also, that Mrs. Wbiteraore's residence, on Bollingbrook street, was pene trated by one of these, missiles on Saturday, and considerable damage done. But it would be an almost endless task to mention the various localities in which these shells fall. All the eastern portion of the city is exposed to their violence, and they fall all over it. FROM THS JAMBS. Brisk skirmishing and artillery firing com menced on the line' of the James yesterday morning. The enemy is making a demonstra tion below Chaffin’s farm and from the diree tian of the White House. The troop3 from the latter place were yesterday endeavoring appa rently to unite with the force from Deep Bot tom, in its manoeuvres below Chaffin’s. Con ■ siderable skirmishing is said to have occurred in the vicinity of Tunstall’s. The enemy be low' Chaffin’s were last evening manoeuvring for New Market hill. THE FIGHT NEAR THB WHITI HOUSE. The prisoners and horse3 reported to have been taken by Hampton in this affair, were captured in the pursuit of Sheridan while en route for the White House ; and the cannon said to have been taken in the action, it will be a sad disappointment to our exuberantly communicative friends from Tunstali’a to learn, were the identical cannon captured some days ago. The fight, near the White House was between Hampton and two brigades of Yankees, who were there to guard the place; Sheridan had dodged the track, so hot was Hampton’s pursuit; and the latter was disap pointed in &ot finding him there when he pitched in. The fight was very severe, artil lery and dismounted cavalry being engaged against the infantry and artillery of the enemy for a considerable time. The Yankees were punished severely, and finally driven under coTer. During the night, Sheridan, who had slid into the woods on Hampton’s left, crossed the Mattapony at Stephens’ Ferry, and was supposed to have reached West Point yester day morning. The combinations of the enemy elsewhere diverted Gen. Hampton's attention into a more important channel. hunter’s MOVEMENTS. We take the following items, concerning the progress of Hunter's raiding army through the Valley and Piedmont, from the Lynchburg "Republican.” The Yankees in their advance through Bed ford, burned all the bridges of the Va. & Tenn. railroad. Among others, those across Big and Little Otter rivers, and Elk creek. The two former are considerable structures. YANKEE ATROCITIES. We have the information in such a manner as to make it undoubtedly true, that the Yan kee raiding party which passed by Mclvor’s committed rapes on three respectable ladies in that neighborhood, one of them married and the other two single ladies. We have the names of these ladies, but of course cannot make them public. It is only necessary to say that the vandals |now threatening Lynch burg from Bedford are a part of the same hell ish crew, and these Outrages will nerve the arm of every soldier with us to strike a dead lier blow when the hour for their punishment comes as come it will. FROM LTNCEBUBG. The Republican of yesterday says, that in the fight near Lynchburg on Saturday the enemy left about 120 dead and 150 wounded on the field. Averill informed a gentleman residing near the scene of battle that his entire loss was about 800, in killed, wounded and missing. The Republican gives the following summary of the operations of Saturday: No sooner, however, did he feel our lines on the morning of Saturday than he discover ed that they were defended by something more ' than militia and hospital rats, and after a day , of skirmishing and combat, he concluded that | ic was the better part of valor to beat an in- • glorious retreat. This he did &3 soon as night- } fall threw a partial covering over his move- ; ments. The retreat ! was discovered by our ; forces about 10 o’clock at night, when imme- j diate preparations were made for an active ' pursuit, which commenced by 12 o’clock. The enemy, therefore, had some hours the | $4.00 Per South start, and have no doubt made much better time in going than they did in coming. Though our preparations for pursuit were as complete as they could be under the circum stances, we very much fear that the greater part of Hunter’s command will succeed in making their escape, unless couriers have been sent to Buchanan and Lexington to have the roads blocked so os to delay the retreat ing foe. In any event, however, the failure of the expedition is Complete. *- ♦ ♦——- (Correspondence of the Mobile Register.) Letter from Houston. Houston, May 24, ISC4. All quiet in the Trans Mississippi once more. The rebellion is yet rampant here, and nobody left to crush it. Bauks and Steele have both goue, and left us with nobody to fight. We shall not be idle, however. The spirit of our Generals is aggressive. They are already looking out for new fields in which to exercise their talents. After the battle of Saline Bottom, April 30th, Steele fell back to Little Rook, and the remains of Blount’s old army went off in the direction of Fort Smith. What became of this latter we do not know. Shelby went, however, in pursuit of it; i>ut his pursuit evidently has been diverted and probably turned into a raid. On tho 17th inst. he captured Dardenelle, Arkansas, and paroling the garrison, crossed the river and went on towards we know not whither. You will doubtless, how ever, have heard from him through Yankee chan nels before this reaches you. Gen. Magruder reached Arkansas too late to participate in any of the battles of the late cam paign. He returned to this point last week. From Louisiana we learn that nearly the entire State west of the Mississippi is cleared of Yan kees. Our rangere have been charging up and down the country, and as they approach the Yan kees leave as though they were sent for. If the Federal troops Are kept busy on the other side of tho river so as to prevent their reinforcing in this department, we will soon clean them out here. Affairs in Mexico are in a measure quiet. Jua rez still holds his court at Monterey, with a small army between hftu and the French. Yidaurri, tho exiled Governor of Nueva Leon, is in this city, receiving some attentions from the military in virtue of the distinguished part he has played in the neighboring republic. I understand a picnic excursion to Galveston will be given him this evening. I fear that these attentions will bo mag nified by our enemies to our hurt. Jack Hamilton, the Y&nkeeized and Yankee ap pointed Governor of Texas, or rather of the State of Cameren and his teols, A. Alexander, John L. Haynes and others are very busy in their machi nations. They have sought in various ways to create a hostility to U3 on the part of Juarez. They have promised subsidies from Washington, men, arms, money, or what else he may wish, conditioned solely on his assuming an attitude of hostility to wards us. He has hitherto refused. But his bit ter hatred of Yidaurri, the fact that he has out lawed him and declared him guilty of treason, and subject to execution whenever canght, will favor ably incline him to receive exaggerated reports of what has been done here. His Secretary, Rejon, was outlawed with him. Rejon turned up in Brownsville, was arrested there by Hamilton and delivered over to the Mexican authorities in Mat amoras. He was shot. This piece of rascality may bare its designed effect, thongh time will cause it to recoil on the villainous authors. The Texas Legislature was convened by Gov. Murrah on tho 9th inst. The Governor in his message appears to regard the action of Congress on the currency as a little short of repudiation.— "They created,” says he, "and they destroyed.— I have no comments to make.” He urges the building up by the State of manufactures within her limits. He urges the enforcement of the laws against crime, etc. The Legislature has as yet done nothing of public importance. The condition of the currency in this depart ment is becoming rapidly such as to force the re jection of the Confederate notes as a circulating medium. They are to-day in all the principal cities of the State rated at about 40 for 1. * All sorts ©f goods that come from abroad are sold on a specie basis. Even the newspapers have been compelled to come to that basis or discontinue their publications. What will come of it eventu ally is difficult to tell. Happily there is plenty of specie in this part of the country, more, I think, than at any previous period es our history. In all the Western part of this State it is now the on ly circulating medium. All this has nothing to do whatever with patriotism, and the day when patriotism sustained the currency has passed.— Confidence once lost in money is not easily re stored. It is the old story. \Ve must carry on the war without currency, pay our expenses by taxation, sell our cotton and supply the military chest from the proceeds. The spirit of our people is, as has been shown in the late battles, most excellent. There is no more idea of submission here than there was in August, IS6I, after the first Manassas. What little demoralization existed last winter has been swept away like the morning mist before the rising sun. C. > HI A gentleman recently from Richmond tell a very interesting little incident which evin ces something of the state of the public re gard for General Lee. and his thoughtful kind ness to our sick And wounded soldiers. Dur ing General Lee’s recent attack of illness, he went down to Richmond to recruit his health. While on the cars, he expressed a desire for a bottle of port wine. After his arrival, his wish was talked of on the streets, and in less than three hour3 three hunered bottles of port were sent to him. Os the number, he reserved one for his own use, and sent the re maiader to the hospitals for weunded sol diers. Vicksburg News.— The Vicksburg Herald, of the 14th, announces that the yellow fever is reported to have made its appearance in New Orleans, in consequence of which, Gen. Slocum has issued an order in regard to the sanitary condition of the city. It is evident he fears a visitation from "Bronze John” in Vicksburg. From all that we have been able to learn as coming trom wounded prisoners, or to glean from the press, we are led to believe that only one road lies open by which the negre sol diers of the enemy can be fairly dealt with, or their brutalities restrained. At Petersburg, around Lynchburg, everywhere, they have put themselves not only beyond the pale of civilized warfare, but outside of the limits of humanity. They have been simply wild beasts, filthy, ferocious wild bea3ts, and ought to be slaughtered as such at all times and on all occasions. We have never been au advocate of the black flag, but these black fiends mur dered wounded men at Petersburg, burned houses, and committed nameless outrages in the Valley, and, they themselves having hoist ed the black flag, they deserve to die and ought to die, not as enemies, but as criminals against oue common humanity. We hope to see no more negro prisoners going South, and we hardly expect to see any.— Wilmington Journal. — mm 9 Have the amateurs in coincidences noted the fact, that the* war opened with Fort Sumter and Major Anderson, and .

The Charlotte Bulletin speaks thus of the great use of the telegraph lines built by the Southern Express Company, and of the energy and enterprise displayed by them in projecting and completing new routes during the war: Among the many facilities and advan tages which have been afforded our Gov* eminent and people by the Southern Ex press Company, there is none deserving more commendation than their telegraph* ic department, which has been extended since the fall of 1860 over 500 miles, through the influence and indomitable energy of It. B. Bullock, Esq., Buperin* tendent of that company. Commencing in the summer of 1860, at Columbia, S. C., the line was completed to Charlotte, N. C., in November of the same year. i The wire between Columbia and this | place is of the best quality of galvanized 1 wire, and has probably worked, and is continuing to work, better than auy line in this or any other couutry.j In the summer of 1862, seeing the ab solute necessity of a telegraph over the North Carolina Railroad, Col. Bullock projected and carried forward, with un* I precedentcd success, the line which now | connects us with Raleigh and Goldsboro, | which, irom this point to Greensboro, is oi the finest English galvanized wire, and the balance good iron procured in ; this country. Simje this has been erected, the pro* gressive spirit ol the managers have brought Danville, Va., and Fayetteville, N.. C., in connection with the main line, and they are now pushing forward their line rapidly to Weldon, N. C., via the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad—having al* ready reached Ridgeway. All of their offices are supplied with instruments and material manufactured at the South, and for neatness, cleanliness and beauty of arrangement, arc unequalled by any tele* graph offices we have ever visited. The Confederate States Government, on several occasions during this war, would have been without telegraphic com* munications between Richmond and the South, but for the wisdom, energy and liberality of this company. The recent raids in the vicinity of Pe* tersburg made it necessary to use this line as the only medium of communication, for nearly two weeks between headquar ters at Richmond and the subordinate departments in the South. The Yankee Cavalry. —lt has been meentioned, that in the fight of June Ist, near Ashland and Hanover Court House, Gen. Rosser’s cavalry captured several hundred horses from the enemy. The condition of these captured horses is such as to indicate great prostration ia that arm of Grant’s forces, if they are to be taken as a sample of the rest, and there is no reason to doubt that they are. This may explain, too, why Sheridan has been so tame of late. Indeed, the heavy horses of Yankee land are net capable of any great endurance, as cavalry horses, in this country, where the service is hard, and forage limited and precarious. What ever Sheridan may feel able to undertake with his command, certain it is, that the horses captured from him by our soldiers are, for the present, unfit for service Richmond Sentinel. Gen. Sturgis’s Expedion. —A tele gram, dated Memphis, 18th instant, says : The expedition of Gen. Sturgis, which left Memphis on the Ist, is coming on. We learn from an officer that they met a large force of rebels at Gun town, said to consist of 10,000 infantry and cavalry, under the command of Generals Forrest, Lee and Roddy. This large force attack ed them suddenly, and a most desperate fight ensued, resulting in the death of Sturgis, with the loss of his wagon train and ammunition. The last was a most severe loss, as Stur gis had run out of ammunition and was obliged to destroy and abandon his artiies ry. Many of his infantry were captured, but the exact number is not known. Gen. Sturgis’s force consisted of 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry. The N. Y. Times says the above reads as though sent by the rebels themselves. Official dispatches refer to the defeat of Sturgis as a ‘‘disaster.” Confederate States of America, ) Medical Pcrvetor’s Office, 4th District. >- Macon, Ga., June 25th, 1864.) mustard Seed Wanted.
