A PROCLAMATION.
Jiy .A- eph A’. Ur own, (1 over nor o r Georgia : |
Kxbcutive Dei-aktmkxt, t
Gkokoia, July 31st, 1802. j
OompUint has been made to me by the Sec
retary of War, that instances of desertion from
the army now in the service of the Confede
rate States, exist, and that officers and soldiers
are too frequently absent from their regiments
without leave, to the great detriment of the
public service'; at a time when it is of the ut
most importance that every man should be at
his place to enable the Government to improve
the splendid victories lately won by the dis
tinguished gallantry of our officers and soldiers
upon the battle field.
1 am also informed by the able and distin
guished Head of the War Department, that it
has not been in his power entirely to correct
tho evil by the exorcise of the usual military
discipline, and that it ran probably only be
done effectually by the powerful aid of a just
public opinion. lie therefore appeals to me as
the Executive ol this State, and through ute to
the good people of Georgia, for aid in the par
ticular above mentioned, and requests permis
sion to use the officers of this State for the ap
prehension of deserters ar.d of officers and sol
diers absent from their commands without
leave.
While our brave troops are having to hazard
life, and to endure great hardships and priva
tions for the protection of our rights, and the
reservation of our liberties, it is certainly pro
per that each officer and soldier in service,
should share his just proportion of labor and
privation. Public opinion must, therefore,
frown upon those who, while in service, attempt
to avoid their due proportion of labor and dan
ger; Otherwise the whole burden must fall upon
those who arc faithful and true, and those
equally able, hut less willing to do duty, must
often escape.
1 there r ore issue this my proclamation, in
accordance with the wishes of the Secretary of
War, commanding and requiring all Sheriffs,
Constables, and Jailors, in this State, to be
ties. The names ot the heads of families thus
supplied, will be entered on the book, that the
person receiving the salt for his neighbors may
be detected if he should act unfaithfully. All
purchasers will be required to bring with them
their own sacks to carry their salt home from
the place of sale.
4th. As I can place the salt only at a few
central points in the State, you will establish a
depot for its sale by a faithful agent, at each of
the following places, to-wit: Cartersville, At
lanta, Athens,Augusta, Griffin,Macon, Albany,
Columbus and Savannah. Were I to under
take to send it to all the towns and depots on
the Railroads, 1 must employ so many Agents
as to embarrass you in securing prompt settle
ments, and greatly increase the price by the
payment of so many salaries to distributing
Agents. You will take bond and security from
each Agent, for the faithful dischargo of his
duties and the prompt payment to you of the
money collected by him, and for the dolivery
to you of the salt on hand at any time when
demanded by you or other Agent of the State.
Each Agent will sell for cash, and will remit to
you the amount he has collected each week.—
Any Agent failing to make such remittance,
will be promptly discharged.
5th. You will notify the Justices of the In-,
ferior Court ol each county in this State, of the
arrangements proposed for the purpose of sup
plying the widows of deceased soldiers and
wives of soldiers now in service, with salt to
relieve present necessiities, and request their
active co-operation in the proposed plan.
6th. When the people of a county will, by
public meeting, appoint a reliable Agent who
will obligate himself to them to sell salt for the
accommodation of the people of the county, at
the prices above mentioned, adding only the
freight which he has to pay from the place
where he receives it from your Agent to the
place of sale, you will be authorized, when you
have a supply on hand, to sell for cash, to such
county Agent, in such quantities as would be
the reasonable proportion for his county, at the
vigilant in detecting and arresting all deserters prices above specified. This will afford those

to aid the ollicers above mentioned in the dis

The ollicef arresting a deserter, or an offi

leave, will confine him in the common jail of
of the county in which the arrest is made, if
the jail he sufficient, if not, in the jail or any
adjoining count}; in which case, the jailor of
the adjoining county is hereby directed to re
ceive and detain the person till further order ;
and will immediately notify the Secretary of
War, at Richmond, and the Adjutant and In
spector General of this State, at Milledgoville,
county remote from the central points of de
posit, willing to serve the public for the public
good.
The different Railroad companies in this State
have shown a liberality and a disposition to af
ford relief to the people in the present emer
gency, which entitle them to the gratitude of
all. I determined to carry the salt imported
by the State, over the State Road to the place
of deposit and ss\e,free of charge, and to car
ry from the place of sale to the depot of the
consumer, free. I communicated this deter
mination to the Presidents of the principal
Roads of the State, and asked their co-opera

C’oL Jared 1. Whitaker, Commissary General:
Colonel : Finding that there was but little
prospect on account of the impossibility of
large importations, that private enterprise
would a (lord a supply of salt for our people this
year, and knowing how indispensable it was to
health and coralort, I determined, as the Exec
utive of the Stale lo do all in icy power tor the
relief of the people, though I might, by assuin-
of the State as for the consumer after he has
purchased from tho State’s Agent; and it af
fords me great pleasure to say that 1 have re
ceived responses from the following Rail Road
Presidents, in the order mentioned, promptly
and cheerfully agreeing to render this public
service free of charge, till further orders : Hon.
R. R. Cuyler, President C. R. R., and Branch
es, and of the S. W. R. R.; Isaac Scott, Esq.,
President Macon A Western R. R.; Hon. John
P. King, President Ga. R. R. and Branches,
and of the A. A W. P. R. R. It is not doubted
that the President of each other Road in the
State, will meet this request with like liberali
ty and patriotism. The salt imported under
my direction will, therefore, no doubt, go to
any point in the State, on a Railroad, to the
consumer purchasing from the State Agent,
free of charge for freights.

For the present you are directed to dispose Heavens from Grooversville, Thomas county,
of the salt, when received as follows :
1st. You will gite, without charge, one half
bushel to the widow of each soldier who has
died in tho military service of the State, or the
Confederate States. As you cannot know the
facts, and make this distribution without as
sistance from the different counties of the State,
I request the Justices of the Inferior Court of
each county, to send you a list of the names of
all widows of soldiers in their county; with a
certificate of two, or more of said Justices, that
the persons whose names are sent, are the wid
ows of deceased soldiers. On receipt ol such
list and certificate, you will ship to said Jus
tices at such point as they inay designate, one
half bushel for each soldier’s widow, to be dis
tributed among them by said Justices.
2d. You will sell to the wife of each soldier
now in military service, if she desires it, and
to each widow having a son or sons in service,
one half bushel Jar one dollar ; the names of
those filled to it, to be certified by the Jus
tices oTThe Inferior Court, as in case of widows
of soldiers, and the salt to be shipped to the
Justices of Inferior Court in each county, at
such point on a Railroad as they may desig
nate, so soon as you have it on hand, and they
send you the money for it. It is supposed
there is no county in the State whose Justices
will refuse to make this advance from the
Countv Treasury, for the benefit of the soldier’s
families, and to take tho trouble and expense of
getting the salt from the Railroad, and distrib
uting it among those in the county entitled, at
the price mentioned ; which can be refunded
to the County Treasury when paid in for the
salt by those who are to receive it.
Should the widow of a deceased soldier, or
the wife of a soldier in service, desire more
than a half bushel for her own use, she will he

It was a perfect representation of a sword—

was red and the handle silver color. The
blade pointed to the North east and the handle
to the Southwest. It was high up in the hea

broad. Soon after it was witnessed, a wind
springing up heavy clouds appeared and screen
ed it from view.
The Family Friend expounds at length upon
the signification of the vision ; but we conclude
if any particular revelation was intended the
spectacle would have hte-u u-oie pciouo uian it

But who knows. The fact is, in these limes,
daily history is almost a miracle. When a
man soberly bethinks hiuiself of what is actu

A good Story is “towld” of Captain Atkins,
of W heat's celebrated battalion. Atkins, who
is well known as the “Wild Irishman,” being
six feet two inches in height, and of the Char
ley O’Malley school, was formerly of the Brit
ish Legion in the army of Italy, where, meet
ing Col. Wheat, he became so attached to him
that he afterwards came over to this country
to join him. It was Captain Atkins who led
Wheat’s battalion at Manassas, after the noble
Wheat fell wounded, leading the celebrated
charge of the Louisiana Tigers with a bare
shillela! In tho late, battle, in which the glori

[From the Newark (N. J.) Journal.1
Napoleon once said. “America is a r ortuoate
country ; for she thrives by the follies of our
| European countries.” But, alas ! now she has
reversed her policy, and instead of thriving by
avoiding these follies, she has not only adopted
them—war, taxes, oppression —but she has
gone a step farther, and is endea voring to de
stroy her own liberties, the liberties of white
men, in order to strengthen or secure those of
the black race. The history of mankind pre
sents us with many insane follies of nations,
but none equal in insanity to this stupendous
Tolly of Republican America, in this noon of
the nineteenth century. A year and a half ago
the American Republic, with the motto "E
Pluribus Unurn” flaming in her beak, was de
veloping her resources of mind and body with
an external force and an internal freedom that
had never a parallel in the world’s history.—
“A continent and two oceans,” said the Lon
don Times, “are in the hands of this people.”
With a most heroic past, we had the promise of
a most glorious future. At peace with all the
world and with ourselves—the terror of the
nations—a career of national prosperity was
opening before us unlimited in extent, rivaling
in happiness the fabled Utopias of the poets.
Out of the once unknown wilderness, in less
than three centuries, a mighty empire had
arisen. Upon the scarcely rotted roots of the
primitive forest proud cities stood teaming with
busy life, and glowing like the prairie grass in
spring. The boldest and most enthusiastic
speculator could have scarcely ventured to pre
dict the destiny of this country, if integrity had
continued to govern her deliberations, and wis
dom had prevailed in her councils. Her worst
enemy, as he looked out upon the vast inheri
tance of this people, stretching from the Atlan
tic seaboard to the Pacific, from its inland seas
at the North to the Floridian reefs, with all its
teeming millions, and all its evidences of prospe
rity everywhere, must have been compelled to
exclaim, with Baa 1 , the son of Peor, as he looked
out upon the tents of lareal, whitening all the
plains of Moah, “who can count the dust of
Jacob, or the number of the fourth part of Is
rael. As the valleys are they spread forth, as
gardens by the river side, as trees ot lign aloes
which the Lord hath planted, as cedar trees be
side the waters.”
A11 this prosperity and promise for the fu
ture was the natural result of the constitution
al policy of the Democratic party which had
ruled in the land so long. That party held as
the policy of its creed a strict construction of
the Constitution ; equal and exact justice to all
who are entitled to its privileges, and antago
nism to all forms of sectionalism based upon
hostility to institutions whose privileges were
guaranteed by the Constitution. Had such
policy been adhered to, this nation to day would
have remained a united and a happy people.—
But a sectional organization, protessing for the
basis of its creed eternal hostility to slavery,
revolutionary in its origin and destructive in its
policy, proposed to govern this country by usur
pation ; to overthrow and set at naught every
guarantee of the Constitution in reference to
fifteen States of the Union; to shut them out
of the magnificent Territories acquired by the
common blood and treasure of the Union, to
maintain this Union iust as the Union lietween
England and Ireland is maintained ; just as
Great Britain attempted to maintain the union
between the mother country’ and the American
colonies. When the danger ol a disrupted
Union was upon us, and all the horrors of a
civil war menaced, they persistently refused all
attempts at conciliation and compromise, and
preferred the arbitrament of war to that ot
peace and conciliation. They refused concilia
tion and compromise, and when they did so
they knew that war would result from the re
fusal.
The war they invited—nay, longed for—is
now upon us, and has brought in its train all
the ruin that has waited upon its blood-stained
footsteps. Every fundamental principle of con
stitutional liberty has been scattered to the
winds—enormous expenditures, the result of
speculation and fraud, demand oppressive and
exorbitant taxes—whole hecatombs of victims
have been offered up, and there is hardly a
house, as in ancient Egypt, “in which there is
not one dead”—a large proportion of the pro
ductive industry is being turned from the
peaceful pursuits of agriculture to where the
reapers descend to the harvest of death—every
where individual and national bankruptcy is
staring us in the face.
In the legislative councils of the nation every
hour makes manifest that the object of the war
is not to uphold the Government, the Constitu
tion, or the Union, “but to lift the artificial
weights from all men’s shoulders," in the lan-
guige of President Lincoln—to wage “an irre
pressible conflict” against the institutions of
slavery—to rob the white man of this liber
ty, that the slave may enjoy it. Ninctenths
ol the legislation of Congress has been this ses
sion directed towards the condition of the slave
and how lo alleviate that condition, while the
awful situation of this Government, intended
for white men, is entiiely lost sight of. In the
meantime the nation “reels and staggers to and
fro like a drunken man.”
Democrats of New Jersey ! the hour when
you are to meet iu council is not far distant.—
Upon you together with your confreres in other
States, rest the hope of the country. With a
bold, vigorous, and determined effort you can
help to save it; hut it will not he by half way
temprizing measures. You cannot save it by
endorsing and approving the acts of the pre
sent Administration; by endorsing attacks upon
the constitutional liberty of the subject; by ap
proving of a war of subjugation and extermi
nation. The cunning, unprincipled promoters
of this war, who are speculating upon the blood
and treasure of this nation, have no desire that
it shall cease. Under the specious and delusive
cry that Government is in danger, and theconsti
tution must be upheld, they are uprooting the
foundatious of the one and rendering nugatory
every provision of the other. Read the history
of the past year; read the daily legislation of
the men in Congress who are hounding on
this strife, and then tell us honestly—do you
believe this to be a war for the Union or the
preservation of the Constitution ? If you do
not, it is high time you should cry aloud and
spare not
It is time that you should arouse from the
lethargy that enervates, and the false security
that deludes you. If you believe that the fur
ther continuance of this war will only entail
untold miseries upon yourselves and your pos
terity, you have a right to demand that ft shall
cease. Y’ou have the right by all constitution
al means within your power to endeavor to
make it a finality. If not, you acknowledge a
right and a power in this Administration which
only belongs to despotic Governments, that are
founded in force, and not in the consent of the
governed.
Let this war go on in the spirit it is now bs-
ing waged, and you will dig an impassable gulf
between the North and South. Remember
what Senator Douglas said in the Senate, be
fore disease had dimmed bis eye and paralyzed
his mind: “Whether the war that these Re
publicans now clamor for lasts one year, seven
years, or thirty years, the result must be the
same—a cessation of hostilities when the
parties become exhausted, and a treaty of
peace recognizing the separate independence of
each section. Extermination, subjugation, or
separation, one of the three, must be the result
of the war between Northern and Southern
States."
Now, the question is, will you wait until a
war of years has prostrated every interest, de
stroyed a sixth part of your population, and
made a waste and desolation of the North, or
will you demand peace now ? Is the freedom
of the negro of more importance than that of
the white man t If so, clamor for war. Arc
the groans of the wounded more musical to
your ears than the whirl of the shuttle and the
ring of the hammer ? Then clamor for war.
Do you desire an incubus of taxation that shall
make you and your remotest posterity "hew
ers of wood and drawers of water" to the Fed
eral Government ? Then clamor for war. Do
you deside to see this Confederated Government
transformed into a vast centralized military
despotism t Then clamor for war. Do you
want to witness the final wreck of all the glo
ries of our past, and our hopes for the future ?
Then clamor for the war.

We have already published the act of Con

particularly mentioned in tho prdblamation, we
re-insert it as follows:
Sec. 6. And be it further enacted, That if any
person within any State or Territory of the
United States, other than those named as afore
said, after the passage of this act, being enga

of the United States, or aiding or abetting such
rebellion, shall not, within sixty days after
public warning and p r oclamatiuii duly given
and made by the President of the United States,
cease to aid, countenance, and abet such rebel
lion, and return to his allegiance to the United
States, all the estate and property, moneys,
slocks, and credits of 3uch person shall he lia-

duty of the President to seize and use them as
aforesaid or the proceeds thereof. And all
sales, transfers, or conveyances of any such
property after the expiration of the said sixty
days from the date of such warning and pro
clamation shall be null and void ; and it shall
be a sufficient bar to any suit brought by such
person for the possession or the use ot such
property, or any of it, to allege and prove that
he is one of the persons described in this sec

YANKEE TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCHES.
The following despatches appear in the News

New York, July 28.—Thp Tribune has a
special despatch from Columbus, Ohio, stating
that Rev. Doctor Brooks, of St. Louis, and Rev.
D. Hoyt, of Louisville, were arrested on Friday
night, at the house of a notorious Rebel, Judge
Clark, of Ohio.

This informatio.i he obtained from the Wi
It cannot, therefore, be called in ques-
3d. "Agate,” the correspondent of the Cin
cinnati Gazette—a thorough war paper—says
that President Lincoln, after his visit to Mc
Clellan at Berkley, said to four gentlemen, only
the Fridays before the day on which he was
writing, “with marked emphasis“I can’t
tell where the men have gone in that awiuy.—
I have sent there, at one time and another, one
hundred and , (perhaps prudence requires
that I should leave the next two places for fig
ures blank,) one hundred and thousand
men, and 1 can only find just half that many
now. Where can they have gone ? Burnside
accounts to me for every man he had taken—
so many killed in battle; so many wounded ;
so many sick in the hospital ; so many absent
on furlough. So does Mitchell, so does Buell,
and so do others. But I can't tell what has
become of half the army I sent down to the
Peninsula’”
Now, if the half of 158,000 is 79,000, and
this i3 the actual loss of McClellan’s army, ac
cording to Lincoln’s estimate. As we muy be
sure he did not exaggerate his own losses, we
shall assume 1,000 more, and put those losses
at 80,000, our own estimate. As the Y:\nkoe
President can get no account of these men from
McClellan, who is constantly writing that he
defeated our array in every battle, in which he
himself was l eaten into a jelly, we take the
liberty of relieving his perplexity.
They lost, say, 3,000 men before York. They
lost 5,000 at Williamsburg. They lost 2,000 at
Barhamsville. They lost, according to C hand

This loss we believe to be unparalleled in the'
history of any modern besieging army. The
French did not sustain the fourth part of it in
the siege of Saragossa ; the allies did nor. sus
tain a greater in the siege ofSebastopol. When
we take these facts into consideration, and add
to them that the army which had undergone
this tremendous loss has abandoned,a line of'
entrenchments unequalled in strength, and is
now twenty five miles off from the lately be
leaguered city, whereas it was before only five,
we stand in utter amazement at the impudence
which claims a victory ! Still more are we as
tounded at the effrontery which supports a
man who can tell soldiers thus beaten and de
moralized that they have earned the right of
' r! icribing on their banners the namos of the
jj ?ds on which they’ had been signally and ig-

Under the broiling sun of Y'irginia troops can
only lie down and die. Will they be permitted
to do so ? Let us hope that the hecatombs
which have been offered to tho gun and the
sword may be the means of saving from famine
and pestilence those who survive. Let the war
be now ended, and hundreds of thousands of
hale Ond hearty men may once more return to
those peaceful avocations from which, in an un
lucky hour, they were called. But let the de
mon of discord still reign—let those armies of
occupation remain at their posts, and the hav

with that which will follow in the train of that
scourge of camps—disease. Had the Federal

THE POSITION OF SECRETARY SEWARD.
A definition of the position of Secretary Sew
ard, evidently authoritative, is published in
Saturday’s National Intelligencer, from which
it appears he is content, as he hitherto has
been, to remain where he is, so long as the war
continues, and so long as the chosen Chief
Magistrate of the country requires it, though
his advice should be over-ruled, which happens
very rarely, and then in cases which his own
judgment better informed approves. At the
same time ho would not, if he could, for any
reason prolong his stay in the place he now-
holds one hour beyond the time when the Presi
dent shall think it wise to relieve him, and
when he shall retire from it, it will he with the
determination he has more than once hereto-

A Tremendous Srare in Washington
The feeling at Washington about Jackson's
expected raid in that city is intense. A few
nights since a sentinel, four miles lrom the city,
hearing a drove of mules approaching, tired
his piece and ran in, the mules at the same
time running out A correspondent of the New
York Express says ;
Ttieir disorderly retreat, however, did not al
lay the excitement; the impression had gone
out that a cavalry raid, under the command of
the ghost, perhaps, of the departed Ashby, was
the advancing party ; the signal gun was fired,
and the long roll beat; “there was hurrying to
and fro of brave men,” and “mounting in hot
haste.” As daylight intervened, the horse
which had been shot was found, and one ol
the shoes taken from the hoof served to trace
the source from whence the stampede came.

IMPORTANT CAPTURE BY Ol'R BLOCKADING FLEET-
Washington, July 28.—The Navy Depart
ment learns that our blockading fleet recently
captured the “Tubal Cain,” a largo iron clad
English steamer, off Charleston, whilst attemp
ting to run the blockade. She was heavily
leaded with arms amt ammunition, and has
been ordered to New York.
The Detroit Free Press learns that Senator
Chandler, of Michigan, proposes to raise a regi
ment and lead it into the field. It adds: “His
great wealth, and his influence with a part of
the people, would enable him to raise men ra->
pidly.”

Waterloo, July 29.—Scouting parties just

Back Again.—A valuable servant man, who
is a superior blacksmith, owned by Wm. Har
rison, Esq., of Prince George county, returned
to the home of his master Wednesday night,
after some three or four weeks captivity among
the Yankees. He was carried oft by a lot of
Lincoln’s hirelings, and entreated to be let
alone at the time, but the captors were deaf to
his entreaties. He says the negroes now in
McClellan’s camp are overworked and poorly
fed, and will all return if they get an oppor
tunity. A little experience among the Yankees
convinces the negroes that their new masters
are a most hypocritical, deceptive set, and that
in reality, they do not care a button for the
poor slave about whom they prate so loudly.
We think in time, the Yankees will rue the
day they ever interfered with this “peculiar
institution,” if they have not already done so.

The News fron Alabama.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the New Y'ork Post says
the news from Northern Alabama “ does not
put the Department in good humor.” He adds;
It is calculated that the enemy has destroy
ed fifteen millions of dollars worth of property
within the last thirty days, or hall a million per
day. These successful raids will compel Gen
eral Halleck to change his plans in the West.
No Government can long endure such losses as
have been entailed upon us by scattering our
army over a line of a thousand miles. The sys
tem was adopted under the supposition that
Beauregard’s fine army was entirely destroyed.
It turns out that the bulk of that army is still
in the Southwest, and the rest is at Charleston
and Richmond. The national troops will be
forced to concentrate upon two or three very
important points, and give up the attempt to
run long lines of railway.
CAPTURE BY A BLOCKADER.
Saturday night last the steamer London,
Captain Luckie, from Nassau, 31st, ult., at
tempted to enter Tybee, and succeeded in pass]
ing the Martello Tower after being fired into.
She came within a short distance of Fort Pu
laski, but the Captain, having lost confidence
in his ability to pass the fort, and contrary to
the advice of Mr. Geo. Marshall and two pilots
who were passengers on board, turned about,
and on passing the Tower a second time, some
fifteen or twenty shots were fired at her, one
of which struck the bulkhead and passed thro’
her cabin, doing considerable damage.
YVithout further injury she succeeded in get
ting into Ossabaw about 9 o’clock Monday
morning. When abreast ofHellgate a block
ading steamer was discovered in Bear river ma
king for her. The Captain was again urged
to continue his course, and if necessary to run
down the enemy, but his heart failed him again,
and turning his vessel, she grounded in eleven
and a half feet water. She then fell an easy
prey to the enemy. Mr. Marshall and two pi
lots took to the small boat and succeeded in
reaching Beulah, where they were detained as
prisoners by our forces in that neighbot hood
until released by order of Gen. Mercer.
The Lodona is about 1,000 tons bnrthen, and
has a very valuable assorted cargo, consisting
principally of drugs, medicines, chemicals,
arms, and other articles of value to the Confed
eracy.
She was taken in charge by the blockading
steamer and Monday night towed to sea in the
direction of Port Royal.
We learn from the passengers that the great
est excitement prevailed at Nassau in conse
quence of the large number of Federal vessels
of war lying off that port intercepting its com
merce, among which were the Huntsville, Adi
rondack, Quaker City, and SL Jago dc Cuba.
The schooner Agnes was taken on the 16th
ult, 24 miles off Abaco light, and carried to
Key West. YYe learn that her owner has gone
to Key West to claim her, and that there is a
probability of her being recovered, as she was
a British wrecker.—Sav. Rep,

such as embellish history, nnd those badly
spared would have the matter “dried up ;” but
it has leaked out, and these thi ngs always bear
telling.
Skirmish at Orange Court House-
On Saturday morning last a portion of the
7th Virginia Cavalry, Robertson’s brigade, un
der Col. W. E. Jones, engaged the 1st Michi
gan, 5th New Y’ork, and 1st Vermont Cavalry,
at Orange Court House. Our D*en fought with
desperation, not having more than 100 at any
one time in the fight, while the enemy’s force
was between 1200 and 1500. Ten of the ene
my, including a Major, and eleven horses, were
killed, the dead bodies of the latter remaining
in the streets of Orange Court House after the
fight was over. Four carriages were pressed
by the Y’ankees to carry off their wounded.—
Several prisoners were captured, six of whom
(Sergeant J. S. Trowbridge amd two privates
of the 6th New York, and two privates of the
1st Vermont,) were brought to Richmond by
the Central train last evening and committed to
the Military Prison. Some few of our men
were captured in the skirmish, but none killed
Major Berry, of the 4th Georgia battalion, who
was near the scene of action, informs us that
the enemy retreated by way of Terrill’s Ford
across the Rapidan river. Oar troops occupied
the town on Saturday night.
Conflicting reports of this affair were in cir
culation yesterday, but the foregoing statement
is derived from a source entitled to full confi
dence, and may be relied on as correct It has
been conjectured that this advance of the ene

Richmond, Aug. 6—The enemy wrested Mal
vern Hill from us on yesterday, owing to the
smallness of our picket foice. This brings
them ten miles up the river.
The Confederate prisoners confined in the
East, including Buckner and Tilghman, have
returned South, and are i ow in Richmond.—
The political prisoners at Fort Warren still re
main as prisoners.
The prisoners state that the North has given
up all hope of success, and prosecutes the war
only from pride and revenge.
Recruiting, they say, is a dead failure at the
North. A draft is the only remedy, and the
government is afraid of that. There are many
sympathizers with the Sojth who begin to op
pose any further prosecution of the war.
Thurlow Weed considers the prospect hope
less.

pany, captured in tho valley; also, Lieut Col.
