Mobile 22.—A special to the Advertiser &

of the Chickahominy.” As I predicted in a
previous letter, that our men would cross upon
the very bridges which the Yankees were then
constructing to expedite their “On to Rich
mond,” so it came to pass -, for about 10 a. m.
we were crossing one of the best temporary
i bridges I ever saw. Much of the timber had
I been fashioned out at the North, and only nee
ded putting together to be ready for use. The
ends of the planks in many places were char*

the bullets go crack : ng through pilot-house,

gun-boats were so completely surprised that
we had fired the second round before they re
covered themselves sufficiently to give us a
shell. The first shell came crashing through
the low cedars over our beads; but the boys
were so excited that they paid little attention

first time the Rides have had a chance to fire
at the enemy. They were highly compliment

“turn out”—having only 75 men, 73 of whom
they took into the Fort—and for their soldierly
conduct while under the severe fire of the ene
my’s gun-boats.
The Spalding Greys, of Griffin, were well
spoken of on the day previous. The Light
Guards have been tried before, and the Yolun-
teers—although having been subjected to the
most trying ordeal through which a soldier has
to pass—a severe fire without the ability to
return it—are so well known to your commu
nity that any assertion, on my part of their
ability to punish the enemy, when occasion
offers, is quite superfluous.
This command has been marched so inces
santly of late that Stonewall Jackson will have
to look to his laurels. Strange to say although
the men have been subjected to so much unu
sual privation of late, but little sickness has
ensued therefrom, and I think the Battalion

Gen. Pope has taken command of the Yan

Clellan, who will, however, retain the command

ing boastful address to his army:
Washington, July 1-L
To the Officers and Soldiers of the Army of
Virginia :
By special assignment of the President of the
United States, I have assumed command of this
army.
I have spent two weeks in learning your
whereabouts, your condition and your wants ;
in preparing you for active OfK-rations, and in
placing you in position from which you can act
promptly and to the purpose.
I have come to you from the West, where we
have always seen the back of our enemies—
from an array whose business it has been to
seek the adversary, and to beat him when found
—whose policy has been attack, and not de
fence. In but one instance has the enemy been
able to place our Western armies in a defensive
attitude.
1 presume that 1 have been called here to
pursue the same system, and to lead you against
thc enemy. It is roy purpose to do so, and that
speedily, 1 ant sure you long for an opportu
nity to win the distinction you are cepable of
achieving. That opportunity 1 shall endeavor
to give you.
Meantime I desire you to dismiss from your
minds certain phrases w Inch I am sorry to find
much in vogue amongst you. 1 constantly hear
of taking strong positions and holding them —
of lines of retreat and bases of supplies. Let
us discard such ideas. The strongest position
a soldier should desire co occupy is one from
which he can most easily advance against the
enemy.
Let us study the probable lines of retreat of
our opponents, and leave our own to take Care
of themselves. Let us look before and not be
hind. Success and glory are in the advance.
Disaster and shame lurk in the rear. Let us
act on this understanding, and it is safe to pre
dict that your banners ahull be inscribed with
many a glorious deed, and that your names
will be dear to your countrymen forever.
John Pope,
Major General Commanding.
“The Carvel of 1812.’’—It will be remem
bered that a Richmond paper has mentioned
the probability of a general exchange o! pris
oners “on the basis of the Cartel of 1812.”—
This was a cartel, or agreement, for an exchange
of prisoners, between the United States and
Great Britain, during the late war, by which
all prisoners, taken by either belligerent, were
to be paroled and returned to their respective
countries, whenever a certain number were
captured, their expenses being paid, for the
time being, by the Consuls of their respective
countries; and receipts and vouchers as to
rank being given and received in all such ship
ments. Whenever the numbers thus captured
and paroled were equal on both sides, they
were exchanged, rank for rank—with the ex*
ception of privateers, whom Great Britain re
fused to recognize as men of war’s men, and
who were accordingly retained as prisoners un
til the close of the war.

IIARDEE’S TACTICS IMPROVED.
The Salisbury (N. C.) Watchman tells the
following, which demonstrates that all ingenui

complete in military orders.
Capt Osborne, of Iredell North Carolina,
was wounded in the battle of 31st May, near
Richmond, while leading his company in a
charge on the enemy’s batteries. His wound
disabled him, and he fell upon the field, where
he remained for some time. Fearing the ene
my might bayonet him, he drew a revolver and
kept a sharp lookout as the tight progressed.
After a while he saw a strong athletic man
coming towards where ho was lying, and dis
covering hitn to be a Yankee, he coolv awaited
his approach. As soon as he came within cer
tain range of his pistol the captain hailed him
and ordered him to surrender. The Y’ankee
took a momentary glance and seeing the cap
tain’s pistol was bearing upon him with a steady
and deadly aim, he instantly dropped his rifle.
“Throw away your knife,” said the captain.—
It was done. “Now back yourself up to me,’’
was the next command. “Squat down so I can
get upon your back.’’ The Y’ankee was com
pliant ; and the captain, with his pistol still
bearing upon him, ordered him to march into
the Confederate camp. The rider and the rid
den safely arrived at the captain’s headquarters.
The former is recovering from his wounds, and
the latter is said to be among the prisoners now
at this place.

The tide in the affairs of war, now flowing
irresistibly in favor of the Confederate cause,
bids fair to sweep through Kentucky, and to
regenerate and redeem that State from the
thraldom ol its Yankee oppressors and its trait
erous sons. We have the gratifying intelli
gence that the Southern feeling is intensifying
every day. John Morgan is there with his
fearless troops ; has already made two success
ful dashes at the enemy, and the people of sev
eral secession counties are commencing active
hostilities against the abolition usurpers, carry

adjoining Tennessee ; but the cause of Southern
rights has champions in many other localities.

July 10.—Cotton.—There is none of any
consequence coining in. The last sales was at
16jf, but some holders are now asking 20 cts.
The difficulty in getting it here materially
interferes with the receipts. No stock on the
market; there being so far as we know, fifty
bales for sale.
Tobacco.—Thc advance in the last two
months or six weeks in this article lias been
“unprecedented,” especially for manufactured,
which is now bringing fabulous prices. We hear
of sales of Pound Lumps to a considerable ex
tent at 5>1 10 @ ) 20, which we think this time
last year would not have brought over 3o<£; 35
cts. Nearly the poorest grade of Tobacco put
up is selling at 35 to 40 cts., which in torruer
Himes would have brought about 19) cts. The
demand is mainly for pound and half pound
lumps, though all kinds are selling very dear.
We are not advised of any sales of twist, (put
tip for foreign markets, Australia, Ac.,) holders
preferring to hold that class ol their stock.—
Manufactured half pounds, which formerly sold
at about 25 cts., is held at 75 to 80 cts. The
trade in this article has astonished most ot the
dealers. The high prices are owing to the fact
that the production last year was heavily de*
creased, especially in Richmond, where the fac
tories were taken either as Confederate Hospi*
tals or Prisons. Our people have been long
putting up Tobacco to be sent North, (to be
there sold and shipped back to our Southern
friends.) that when the blockade was establish
ed many of them concluded there would not be
any more demand lor Manufactured Tobacco
until the war war. over. It does not seem to
have occurred to many of them that a very
large amount of the Tobacco shipped North
heretofore was sold there to Southern mer
chants, and consequently shipped back South.
Such being the case, why the South has now
to buy its supply here instead of New Y'ork, as
heretofore, consequently the demand for manu-
factured tobacco has perfectly astonished many
in the trade, and some who a few months ago
n ere fearful that t' ey were nearly broke, now
find themselves rich. Doubtless speculation
haw c «ed prices to go up to the present very
high figu.es. In Leaf there is but little doing
for wane ol'supply to operate upon. All kinds

to $34 Fine sun-cured leaf, bright and sweet
