ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP EUROPA.
r.chmond, Va„ July l«h.-The steamship
. Europahas arrived at Cape Race, bringing Liver
nool dates to July 2d.
The correspondence in relation to the ship
Emilv St. Pierre has been published, from which
it appears that Minister Adams hud not receded
from the position first assumed by him.
In the House of Lords. Lord Brouubam de*
plored the continuance of the civil striie in
America, and its consequences to Europe; and
said that he thought it impossible for England
to interfere, but expressed the opinion that the
Americans would see the suicidal character of
the struggle, and come to an amicable arrange*
ment before they entirely lost the resgoct and
affection of Europe as a nation.
In the House of Commons, Lord Palmerston
said that interference in America now could
only aggravate matters. Both England and
France would be delighted to take mediatory
steps; and when a fitting opportunity arises, he
should look uppn it both as a duty and pleasure.
The English journals are strenuously urging
upon their Government the necessity of taking
“ some steps that might -put a speedy end to the
war. *

Ram Arkansas, says: “The enemy’s fleet above
Vicksburg consisted of 4 more iron-clad vessels,
2 heavy sloops of war, 4 gunboats, and 7 or 8
rams. We drove an iron*clad ashore, with her
colors down, and disabled her ; blew up a ram,
burned one vessel, and damaged several others.
Our smoke stack was so shot to pieces that we
lost steam and could not use the vessel as a ram.
Our loss was 10 killed and 15 wounded.
LATE NEWS FROM THE WEST.
Mobile, Ala., July 16.—A special dispatch to
the Mobile Tribune dated at Grenada, Miss., July
16th says : Memphis papers of the 14th report

LATER FROM VICKSBURG.
Mobile, Ala.. July 17th.—A Vicksburg dis
patch says thft the Arkansas sunk 3 Yankee
gunboats.
A special dispatch to the Mobile Advertiser &
Register, dated Jackson, Miss., July 16th, says :
It is rumored here that last evening six Federal
gunboats succeeded in passing down by Vicks
burg, firing on the Arkansas as they passed,
killing two of our men.
The Yankee works across the bend are ascer
tained to be a railroad instead of a canal. The
cars are now running on the road.
From the Jackeon Mississippian.
FROM VICKSBURG.
Vicksburg, July 12.—18 gun and suoriar boats
from the lower fleet, and one transport, with the
yellow flag flying, went down the river yesterday
evening. Our pickets picked off several gunners
and were fired on in return. The upper fleet ap
pears unchanged. The pickets on each side of
the river, near Fort Hill, are taking advantage
of these moonlight nights for cross-firing. It is
now ascertained beyond question that they are
digging a canal below the city. The total sus*
pension of business and the very hot weather,
give the city a desolate appearance. No firing
towday.

SKIRMISH IN TENNESSEE.
Knoxville, July 15. —A heavy skirmish oc
curved this morning at Wallace’s Cross Roads,
the other side of Clinch river, on the road to
Big Creek Gap Two full regiments of the ene
my’s infantry and cavalry were engaged with
four of our companies and cavalry, under com
mand of Col. McLin. Ten were killed and mis
sing on our side; the enemy’s loss about the
same.
FROM THE NORTH.
YANKBE ACCOUNT OF AFFAIRS AT FRBDBRICKSBURG.
A correspondent of the New York Herald,
writing from Fredericksburg, Va., July sth,
says the Fourth of July was celebrated with
“great zest” by the soldiers there.
FRENCH INTERFERENCE.
The New York Herald is trembling oyer the
naval preparations ot France. It thinks it is tbe
duty of th- Secretary of the Navy to look well
to our seacoast defences, that they are put in
order, and to hasten the completion of the iron
clad vessels now in the course of construction or
contracted tor, and to see that none of them will
provq a failure like the Galena, to be pierced by
heavy mt tai as readily as if they were wooden
walls. If he is not satisfied with the number,
size or quality of the vessels now on hand, let
him advise (Congress to that effect, and call for
more or better vessels. If war with France
should find us not completely prepared with a
navy equal to that of Napoleon, after the re
peated wai nings we have had of the danger of
European intervention, the country will exact
from Secretary Welles a terrible reckoning.
The best way to prevent a foreign war is to be
well prepared for it. If the ruler of France sees
that we are in a condition to repel hi- blows
with interest he will be very slow to attack us,
and, if he should, the nation will have the satis
faction of knowing that our flag will be borne
triumphantly through the battle aud the breeze.
To be unprepared is to invite foreign aggres
sion as well as domestic strife. Had our Govern
ment been properly prepared, even with a mili
tary force of. thirty thousand men and a sufficient
naval armament to capture and to hold Charles
ton, the rebellion would have been nipped iu the
bud, instead of being permitted to grow into
such formidable proportions by delay that half a
million ot troops are now found to be insufficient
to put it down. In point of land forces,when the
three hundred thousand additional men called
for by the President shall have been enrolled and
organized, the Government will be equal to any
emergency. Let the country be equally strong
at sea, and there need be no fear for the result
should the combined powers oi Europe assail the
American repuolic, the palladium of liberty and
the hope of downtrodden humanity to the ends
of the earth. In the struggle it will have the
sympathies of the democracy of all Europe, if
not their active aid by lighting up the flames of
revolution. •
THE CONFEDERATE LOSSES.
A letter to a Northern journal says that Rich *
mond will be in McClellan’s-hands in a week.—
The Confederate loss was tremendous:
The enemy have had their best regiments cut
to pieces. ;They have lost the flower of their
troops. Their choicest men were hurled upon
our troops in the great effort to destroy us, and
they were repulsed with horrid carnage. The
fact that for the past five days they decline to
meet us in combat proves how disorganized they
have become, and how terribly they have suf
fered. The Richmond papers acknowledge to a
loss of eight thousand out of one division alone,
which entered the battle fourteen thousand
strong. It is but fair to presume that other di
visions of their army were punished in like
manner. They do not claim a victory, while
they confess that McClellan gained his point.—
The whole South is clothed in mourning for
those who have fallen before the unerring fire of
our Union troops. Scarce a village, town, or
city, but was represented in the one hundred
and eighty thousand men who, confident of vics
tory. attacked the army of the Union, to fall in
heaps before its murderous guns. Never again
can Davis and Lee bring the same fiery and
maddened forces against our invincible army.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, on the authority
ot Major-General Porter, says the loss on the
Confederate side was seventy-five thou*
sandlll
Another article in the Herald winces after this
fashion: ’
Tax bills, currency bills, treasury notes, a
bankrupt bill, tariff bills, &c., &c., are coming
upon us in their full force, combining depletion
on a large scale, and some little relief withal.—
The late events near Riehmond indicate another
yera’s war, and an additional debt of five hunn
dred millions to our late calculations, to say
nothing of the chances of European intervention.
Let us brace ourselves up to the work; but let
the Administration buckle to with a vigorous
and united Cabinet, and the country will stand
the ordeal and coma out of it triumphantly.
GEORGE PUTS IT OFF A MONTH.
Although tired out, General McClellan is very
cheerful, and promises, if lhe Government will
sustain him, to be in Richmond in less than oni
month. Support him and he will not belie his
good name. His men are full of enthusiasm
and in the best of spirits. The mud has dried
up, and life is far more tolerable than it was a
week ago. Our lines are contracted and concen
trated, and our position is better than ever.
CHARGES AGAINST GEN. HALLECK.
The Northern papers have been indiscrimi"
nately pitching into Gen. Halleck for permitting
Beauregard to out-general him at Corinth. The
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune opens on
him in the following ungloved stvle:
Granted that it was desirable io let the public
down gradually to the truth that a thin line of
pickets and a few rutnpery field pieces had held
our grand army back for weeks after the grand
skedaddle bad begun; and to trade offbydegreos
the abrupt step between the sublime looking for
battle and the ridiculous hunt after an enemy
whose very tracks were cold—granted all this,
why tell tbe people in an official dispatch that
General Pope had the enemy all in his eye, and
had bagged 10,000 of them to begin with, when
the facts were that nothing ever occurred to war
rant any such assertion, and not elsewhere was
this better known than at headquarters. It is
all coming to light now, and in no way more
surely than by letters from officers and soldiers
which numerously reach us, denying and ridi
culing the larger share ot what has formed the
.burden of official dispatches from up the Tennes
see since the evacuation.
THE LATEST FROM THE NORTH.
We have received Baltimore papers to the loth
inst„ through the kindness of a friend. The tol
lowing is a summary of the news, as made by
the Baltimore News Sheet:
In the Senate of the United States a till was
reported from the Committee on Military Affairs,
to provide for receiving negroes into the military
service of the United States, and declaring all
such as were slaves to be thereafter free, any
law, usage, or custom, to the contrary notwith*
standing. The bill to amend the law calling out
the militia by providing for drafting, in case it
becomes necessary hereafter, was called up and
debated. An amendment was introduced to in»
elude negroes, and giving the President power
to organize them into battalions, regiments,
brigades, and divisions, according to race or col
or, as the public interest may require. The dis
cussion was continued up to the hour of adjourn
ment.
In the House of Representatives, an act, sups
pigmentary to the bill manumitting the slaves
in the District of Columbia, was called up and
forced through the Senate under the pressure of
the previous question. The supplementary act
allows slaves of persons who neglect to file the
necessary papers topresent their own statements
in behalf of their freedom, and also declared
free all slaves from other States who, since April
Ist have been employed within the limits of the
District, or who shall be hereafter employed.
Vicksburg is not yet taken. Porter’s mortar
fleet is still engaged in bombarding the city,
which is said to have sustained considerable
damage; but the Confaderates appear determined
to resist rhe landing of troops, even if the bat*
teries should be silenced—some 10,000 Confed
erates, under Gen. Van Dorn, being encamped
on the high bluffs four miles below. We have
already chronicled the fact thaj a part of the
gunboats had succeeded in running the guantlet
of the batteries, but not, according to the offi
cial report, without suffering some damage and
a less of 15 killed and 30 wounded.
Tbe Cincinnati! Enquirer declares the dis*
patch which purported to come from Gen. Hal
leck announcing that the Wht te river was open
to navigation for 170 miles, and Gov. Rector a
fugitive, to be a forgery.
Secretary Stanton is reported to have said that
the call for three hundred thousand additional
troops has been responded to much more promptly
than the Government had anticipated. On the
other hand, the New York World declares that
the “call’’ has not yet kindled the first flush of
enthusiasm ; that “distrust weighs like a pall/’
and that “a sullen gloom is settling on every
heart. The people are coldly motionless.” The
N. York Tribune rejoices in the gratifying belief
that that conception of ineffable stupidity, the
great Union anaconda, is defunct. After recapit
ulating the series of reverses which the “ana*
coDda” has occasioned, the Tribune anathema
tizes that military reptile as a “blunder, a hum
bug and a nuisance."
TheN. Y. World is of opinion that an addition
al hundred thousand, if they could be brought
into the field in twenty days, would throttle the
rebellion ; but both the World and the Philadel
phia Press concur in stating that recruiting for the
new levy goes on very slowly. The Press says
“there seems to be a withholding of support
on the pari of the public journals. There is net
that unitv of effort among newspapers through
out the North which yielded such gratifying
fruits a year ago.’’ Under these circumstances,
it is intimated that drafting may have to be re
sorted to for the purpose of meeting the exigen
ces of the Government. In financial circles
there is moreover, great excitement. Stocks
and public securities are becoming seriously
unsettled. Gold advanced yesterday to seven*
teen and a half per cent, and the rate for bills
of Exchange on Europe went up proportionably.
The news from Europe may possibly have had
something to do with this extraordinary mone*
tary perturbation. The English journals are
strenuously urging up.iu the Government the
necessity of taking some steps that might tend
to put a speedy end to the war.
Late and Important.—A special correspond’
ent of the Times, who arrived in this city late
last night, from Gen, McClellan’s headquarters
on Monday morning, brings several.important
items of news.
Gen. Burnside has arrived at Fortress Monroe,
on his wav to Gen. McClellan’s headquarters.
On last Tues lay his troops were embarked
aboard of transports and ready to cooperate with
McClellan in the battles on the Peninsula, but
he receiveda dispatch purporting to come from
' the War Department, stating that McClellan
’ was in Richmond and the enemy in flight in all
directions. Not suspecting tbe truth of this
dispatch, he disembarked his troops and was
then too late to participate in the seven days’
struggle. His troops, have, however, arrived et
Fortress Monroe, and have before this arrived at
Harrison’s Landing.
The transport Juniata, conveying supplies up
the James river, was fired into from Confederate
batteries below Harrison’s Landing on the op
positeside of the river. She was obliged to run
ashore to save being sunk. On the same side
of tbe river the Confederates h ave constructed
batteries between Harrison’s Landing and the
Chickahominy river. One of them, which your
correspondent saw, was merely a breastwork of
sods, about eight feet high, placed one behind
the other.
Day before yesterday Stonewall Jackson,who
was reported dead, sent a flag of truce in, cons
veying a lot of our sick and wounded, whom
they could not or lyould not keep. They, how
ever, refuse to receive one from us, basing
their refusal upon the fact that General Grant
refused their request at Shiloh.
Major Stone, of the Pennsylvania Bucktails,
whose horse was kihed at the same time that
Gen. McCall’s body fell into the hands of the
enemy, reports that the General was undoubt
edly killed. His column was marching along the
Charles City road when he received intelligence
that the enemy were in front of him. He halted
his command and rode forward, in company
with Capt. Stone, Capt. Sheesz and Lieut. Lam
bert. When he reached a bend in the road he
found, to his surprise, the Confederates drawn
up in line of battle, on both sides of the road,
within one hundred feet of him. They ordered
him to dismount, or they would fire. He at
tempted to escape, and a whole platoon fired
into him. Major Stone and Lieut. Lambert both
think that at least fourteen or fifteen bullets
pierced his body. They, saw UitnJall.fromhis
horse, and believe him to be dead.
Day before yesterday Jackson at
tacked and drove in the pickets of Eranklin’s
division. When General Franklin brought up
his reserve, Jackson fell back, and it was expec
ted a night attack would be made, but every
thing passed off quietly.
FROM CAIRO.
Cairo, July B.—The steamer Sunshine, which
arrived to-day, brings news from Vicksbu-g to
the 30th ult., at which time the bombardment
was continued, and the town was deserted except
by the military.
Thenewsfrom White river, Arkansas, is not
encouraging. Col. Fitch still holds St. Charles .
No relief has reached Gen. Curtis. The whole
country bordering on the White river is report
ed'to be in arms, except those persons who have
fled from the operations of the conscription law,
which is enforced in the most rigorous manner.
Our boats are frequently tired on from the
shore.
Feeling in New York.—A letter in the Phila
delphia Inquirer, dated July 5, says :
There are thousands of sorrowing hearts beat
ing with painful suspense as the long lists of
killed, wounded and missing, which are now be
ginning to find their way into the newspapers,
give no sign of the fate of loved ones who are
known to have been in the regiments most hotly
engaged. There is no comfort for those but
Christian patience and resignation, with the pa
triotic reflection that they who will no more re
spond to tbe roll call died in a good cause, and
upon fields that will live eternally in history as a
hetacomb ot heroes.
An apprehension is expressed that, when the
eventful history of the past few days reaches Eu
rope, the clamor there for “mediation,” “inter
vention,” &c., will be such as the French Gov
ernment, if not the British Ministry, will find it
impossible to resist. It is scarcely worth while
to borrow trouble on this account.
Mr. Seward has been in town pretty much all
day, writing up dispatches for Europe by the
steam packet leaving to»day. His li tt/e parlor
at the Afitor House was besieged with visitors,
anxious inquiries, &c., &c.; but the Secretary I
was “at home” for nobody—not even bis most
intimate friends—so I hear.
The steamers were detained thret. hours behind
their usual time, in order to convey these dis
patches.
The Natchez Courier contains a register of the
number, names and date of arrivals at that city
of the Naval vessels from below, now engaged in
the bombardment of Vicksburg. Doubtless to
New Orleans, Memphis and other points in the
hands of the enemy, it would seem quite a formid
able naval armament; but proud little Vicks
burg looks down upon it from her lofty throne
and bids it defiance. Did the history of naval
warfare ever present a sublimer spectacle?
Victory never refused to smile upon such hero
ism .
From the register of the Courier we condense
the following summary, omitting the names and
dates:
Steam Sloops,s
Gunboats..... ,n
Mortarboats. . 20
Towboats...... 8
Steanfboats....lo
Steamships... 1
Total of all kinds.55
The following conundrums are fouud in

In what respect does a candle burning in the
Mammoth Cave differ from a dance at a public
house ?
Answer.—One is a taper in a cavern, and the
other a caper in a tavern.
How does a pitcher of water differ from a man
throwing his wife over a bridge?
Answer.—She is water in the pitcher, the other
is pitcher her in the water.
What did the seven wise men of Greece do
when they met the Sage of Hindostin ?
Answer, —Eight-saw-sages, (ate sausages.)

We clip the following paragraphs fom
Jackson Mississippian, of July 12th :
From Vicksburg.—Our special dispatches fr<m
Vicksburg last nighi, indicate that the Yankee
are about to abandon Vicksburg to the Rebet
this summer. The rapid falling of the water am '
the efficiency of our batteries gender tbe taking
of Vicksburg more difficult than was anticipated,
judging from the tone of the Northern journals,
which published exultant articles about'the 20th
of June, on tbe opening of navigation on the
Mississippi riven The North has yet to learn
that to open the navigation of this river will
cost Abe Lincoln one million of men and five
billions of money, and its success will then be
more than doubtful. More.it is a task which no
power on earth could accomplish. Think of it—
over a thousand miles of the enemy’s country to
penetrate, and every mile to be defended by a
standing army.,
An Affair at Tupblo.—We learn from a pris
vate letter that a brilliant little affair came off
near Tupelo, between about 7,000 Yankees and a
force of Confederates, on the 4th inst. When
the Yankees were first attacked by our troops,
they imagined that there was only a small hand
ful, which they could easily dispose of. They
fought, therefore, with great fury for a little
while, but finding we had a sufficient force to cope
with them, they took to their heels as usual. The
entire force was utterly routed with a loss, as we
are informed, of some 200 killed and 500 wounded
and prisoners. Our loss was 20 killed and 50
wounded.
