the great uiioh war heetihg nr hew
TORE-
The Richmond (Va ) Examiner, of Jtriy 22d,
oontaina an account of the great Union War
Meeting in Sew York, on Tuesday, the 15th in*
slant. We condense it as follows:
Mr. Could made a speech in which he said :
"We want rolunteers, and to send them so that
y will terminate the war.” A voice in the
crowd cried out: “Why don’t you go your,
eels?”
He was followed by Col. Simoa H. Mix, who
was lately mixed up with the army of one Noth'-
anie'. P. Banks, who ran against a certain Stone
wall in the valley of Virginia; and lost his reo u
tation as one of the sound and solvent banks.
Mr. Mix explained to the crowd in a a most lucid
maoner the exict way in which 200,000 Rebels
were congregated before Richmond. It was m
this wise: "The blacks are a mnrh superior
class m intellect to the poor whites of theSouth.
What is done with these poor whites* They
are dragged ruthlessly from their homes and
compelled to go into the army!” We venture
io express tha op oiua that if the poor w les
get hold of Mr. Mix, he will gat into such a hx
that he will scarcely.knnw whether his name is
Mix or Dix.
Next came Mr. Lowe-whether of ballon no*
torfetv, is not staled; enough gas escaped from
Urn, however, to fill a ballooo'; and although
he was Lowewhen he started, he got pretty
high before he bad proceeded far in his speech,
as witness the following : A tipsy individual,
got up a fracas oaths outside of the crowd
when Mr. Lowe continued: “I’ll bet I can licit
any man in that crowd disturbing us for half a
dollar 1 We are all in fighting humor now, yeu
xnow!” .
Mr Farmer was the next speaker. He feared
the rebels had been greatly nnderrated, and
cued the battle of Fair Oaks as an inßtance.-
He advised the Yanks to follow their arms with
a free press and an honest Gospel. This farmer
was certainly laying out more gronnd than his
hands could well work*. He was followed by
Hon. Charles King, evidently a relative of Jo
Kisg, from the jokes in which he indulged. For
instance, Mr. Ring said : “We are here to day to
co-operate in putting down the most wicked,
wanton and causeless rebellion that ever of
fended tbe justice of God or etained the morals
of man. * * * There never wa3 a more holy
or a more sacred cause than this. (Yankee
eflorts at subjugation.) We have thought
too welt of those who have once been
our friends,” Ac., and more of the same sort.
H« was in favor of war. bloody war, confiscation,
and other appliances that could eerve to “crush
out the rebellion.” But just here, some indmdoal,
with more valo r than discretion, marched into
the meeting, displaying a small copy of "the old
lag,’’ with a white handkerchief above it. After
a short time, it was observed, and raised quite a
hubbub, the crowed shouting, "We do not want
any white flags around here,” knocking the
bearer down, Ac. We advise them not to
destroy their white flags; they may be
needed when our victorious armies pass “be*
rood the boundaries of he Confederacy.”
Here, a series of resolutions were offered by U.
3 Senator Chandler, full of war, blood, venge
ance. 4th of July, Ac,. Ac., winding up with the
declaration that armed intervention in the pre*
sent struggle by any foreign power “shall prove
the Signal for the spirit of Liberty to commence
ts triumphant march throcgh Europe. The
only spirit of Liberty lelt at the North that we
are aware of is New England Ram, and, for the
sake of humaoity, we hope that that spirit will nev
er he allowed to commence a triumphant march
through Europe, or aoy other respectable quarter
of the globe. It would bt exceedingly unfortu
nate for them-
After these patriotic resolutions, a senes
ofletters were read: One from A. Lincoln to
the Committee of fuvication, than a ing "you and
itwiyou represent for the invitation,” Ac., one
from Secretary Seward; one from Charles Sum
net .one from H to. Edward Everett; one from
Gov. Morgan, of New York ; one from Gov. Old
en, of New Jersey, one from Hon. Alfred Ely
(a Congressman, who once "changed his base of
operations from Washington City to Richmond,
and entered the latter city, a thing which Mc-
Clellan has failed to do, despite his most Btren
uous efforts to that end); one from Gen. Seigel;
one from John Sherman : and one from Commo
dore Foote, whose letter is at the foot of those
received and read.
This was followed oy "a node, as Mr. K. N.
Pepper was woht to style his poetic effusions
and the reading of which seems to have closed
the proceedings f this grand gatnering of Yans
tee Doodles, although the telegraph tells us that
a shower of rain dispersed the crowd somewhat
summarily before they had concluded their
whole object.
the ARMIES BELOW RICHMOND
Tbe o'most quiet continues on tne lines in the
vicinity of Richmond, and there is no probability
that this first anniversary of the battle of Manas
sas will be celebrated by another attempt ol the
Grand Army to conquer the "Rebel Capital.”
The exchange of prisoners is proceeding as rap
idly as circumstances will allow, a lame num*
(ter of the Yankee sick and wounaed having
been sent to City Point on Saturday, and others
wiil he sent off in different routes. A numer
ous fleet of Federal war vessels, gunboats, and
iraosports lay between Berkeley and Westover,
and McClellan has probably been already reins
forced by a large portion of Burnside’s com*
mand. A soldier arrived in Richmond on
Saturday evening with a finger shot off'
and reported that he had been wounded by a
Yankee picket stationed across the Pamunkey
river while he was near the White House, on
this side. According to bis account the enemy’s
Pickets extend through the lower end of King
William county to the river, bnt we have good
reasons tor doubting it altogether. A gentleman
who reached here two days ago from West
Point reports everything quiet in that neigh*
horbood. There are fen, if any. Federal soldiers
about there, and but one gunboat has been
seen : ince the great battles, when tbe the whole
fleet pat off down ihe York in great haste and
confusion. Matters have been perfectly quiet in
King and Q teen since the affair at Walkerton
and the inhabitants generally believe that the
1 ankees are so busily employed , n theirprepara
uons elsewhere that they ba* en 0 leisure to pay
their respects to their late emor: a i ner s.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Royal Mail steamship Persia, Cant Lojt,
which aailed from Liverpool at 1 P. M., on the
sth, and from Queenstown on the tiih inst., ar
rived at New York Wednesday afternoon
The steamer St. George, from Quebec, arrived
at Greenock on the 3d, with New York telegrams
of the 23d June, picked up at Cape Race.
The New York correspondent of the Times
says:
The North is looking forward with keen an
ticipation to tbe great battle before Richmond.
The strength of the two armies is about equal.
The Coulederate army at Richmond numbers
about 150,000 men, and Jackson’s force m the
Shenandoah Valley has been sufficient to keep io
check three Federal Generals. Beauregard re
mains e mystery.
So great is tbe perplexity he causes that no one
would be much surprised tl he were to be heard
of to-morrow in the Valley of the Shenandoah,
annihilating the armies ol Fremont, Shields, and
Banks, threatening Maryland, and scaring Wash
ington for the second time within a month. The
conquest of Richmond will, by ail accounts, be
one of the most difficult achievements of war*
fare , but should it be evacuated without a fight,
or be captured by McClellan,,the result wil) be the
same.
Behind Richmond, to tbe West, is a moun
tainous country, abounding with formidable
defiles, each of which might be defended against
a large army by a haDdtul of men. The war
would be transferred further South, and if Fed
eral armies follow, yellow fever or other delete*
ruins agencies of the climate would then sear
their ranks and render active hostilities in:prac
ticable for many months. The truth is, an
armistice, and then a settlement of this deadly
quarrel, by & peaceful separation, is the only so
lution of the difficulty.
The Army and Navv Gazette observes that
though it has ever maintained the power of the
Norih to take possession of all the principal mil
itary points of the South, there has been no time
since Bull Run when their position and ability
to do so looked more precarious. The battle in
front of Richmond will determine the fate of the
campaign in Virginia, but ii will not put an end
to the war, which is assuming a more hateful
and ferocious character as it goes on, Tuere
will be no going into summer quart or
either army. There will be no chance ? r *e
smallest intervention or officious good offices.
The Morning Herald says that McClellan had
peremptory instructions to attack Richmond and
capture it before Ihe great anniversary of the
Declaration of American Independence.
The Fourth of July was made the occasion, by
the London Times, for an editorial contrast of
the ordinary American style of oration indulged
in on that day, and tbestrle which—according
to its views—the present position of affairs
would Beem to demand.
The Times puts a speech into tbe mouth of a
supposed American orator, the burden of which
is that the North has not been able to accomplish
its purposes, that the complaints, Ac., against
England have been unjust and unfounded, and
that it would have been much better at the start
to have let the South go.
In tbe Times’ City article it is stated that pri
vate letters trom America by the last mail, writ*
ten by persons entirely impartial, and with the
best means of information, ussert that tbe actual
state of the Federal armies is misrepresented to
the public, and that they have suffered deplora
bly trom sicknesß in its worst forms. A fever,
similar to the jail fever es past times, has, it is
averred, inflicted terrible havoc, and the recent
urgent calls for new levies fends to confirm the
impression as to the correctness of these state*
men is.
The Times publishes a letter from Mr. Edmond
Potter, the Chairman of tbe Manchester Chamber
of Commerce, on the subject of the cotton supply.
The nation, he says, wauls cotton. Four millions
depend upon its supply lor the very necessaries ol
life, and millions more will suffer who hitherto
depended upon tbe circulation ot probably £lo,*
000,000 annually now being taken out of circu
lation.
The revenue will suffer materially; the taxes
non mußi be increased, where it can be borne,
to meet the expenditure. Mr. Potfer says that
to India alone mutt we In jk tor a supply for
some years to come; but pryrate capitalists will
not run tbe risk of crippling or ruining them
selves by seeking to invest id India schemes :or
cotton producing. If American affairs are set
tled, by any chance, soon—and that chance is an
extreme one—lndian cotton will tall one'half in
price in a few weeks, and carry ruin with
it to importers, and check tor a time—forever,
perhaps—any such prices being paid in India
far Cotton as at the present. Mr. Potter comes
to the conclusion that it is the duty of her Maj
esty’s Government to grapple with the question.
On the following day "An Old Indian” replies
to Mr. Potier, ard adduces facts to show that the
inte: ferenco of Government officials in the char
acter of cotton merchants would be prejudicial
to the future supply ol cot'onfrom India.
It is stated that the Canadian staff will soon
have dwindled down to proportions like those
which it possessed before the Trent affair caused
such a large accession to its strength.
The London Times, of July 3d, in an article on
Americ&D affairs, says:
We would, then, once more raise our voice
against the indefinite prosecution of this horrible
war. While the scorching Bun is filling ihe camps
with fever and cholera; while the jouth and
strength of ihe country are being hurried to tbe
common frontier in pieparation fora new feast of
blood in the autumn; while the North is burden
ing itself with the debt eoncerntng which events
its rulers fear io speak plainly; and while the
Sreat staples of the South are oeing given to tbe
a cues, we would aek the Federafe, with whom
ttie whole matter really tests, where ig tbetr
conscience, where is their common humanity or
their boasted worldly prudence? They are'm
arms to entorce on men of their own blood sub
mission to a rule the latter detest.
RUSSIA.
The Grand Duke and Dutchess of Constantine
arrived at Warsaw on tbe 2d, and were warmly
cheered on their arrival. On the night of the
3d, however, as the Grand Duke was stepping
into bis carriage, on leaving the thealre a re
volver was fired at him, aud he reported to be
slightly wounded. The perpetrator had been
arrested.
According to present reports, it does not ap.-
pear that the Russian gram harvest will be large
this season. In the South the crop- have been
burnt up, and in the North they have had cold
and wet. The cold at the date of the laat letter
was described as unprecedented at this season!
The fear of farther fires seems to have sub
sided. The insurance companies have lost be
tween £220,0u0 and £290,000 sterling, but the
total destruction was much more, the amount
iosured having beeD comparatively small. It
is thought, however, that a million or a million
and a quarter sterling will cover all.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
London Money Market. —The lunds on the 4th
were very firm. The favorable bank returns aud
the certainty of a continued influx of gold con
tributed to increase the disposition of confidence.
Consols closed on tbe 4ib at 91%i92f0r boih
money and account. The money market was
without change. The supply was abandant.
Tbe weekly returns of the Rank of Eogland
show an increase in the bullion of £311,133, the
amount held £13.220.771 sterling.
From the Richmond Inquirer.
Liverpool, July 5, 1862.—Cott'ou—The Bro
ker’s Circular says: “The market has again
been greatly agitated througheut the week, and
tbe alarming position of the general stock creates
still greater uneasiness, both here and through
out the manufacturing districts. Important as
was tbe advsn :e lest week, there is a further rise
during the present to.about double that ex>
tent.
The demand for American has been large each
day, especially when the very smell stock is
taken into consideration, and the average ad
vance is folly 2d per Jb. ’The transactions in
Bcazil have been unusually extensive, at about a
similar advance, with large speculative buying.
Egyptian has been in very great request, at an
advance of 2d. to per lb. Speculators have
been eager buyers The whole stook of East
India baa again been more than turned over
during the week; the sales for arrival having
been also on an enormous scale, at daily—almost
hourly—advancing prices; quotations are raised
from i}ii. to 2}£d. per ft., and are quite low
enough as given. Speculators have again been
buying very heavy each dsy.
The total business, including the above and
26.570 bales taken for export, has been 155,170
bales. The business yesterday (Friday) was
about 12,000 bales, lullv one-half for speculation
and export. This demand waß less urgent, but
higher prices were demanded. The official quo
tations are:

Stock on hand 184,940, of which 62,850
bales ape American. At sea, from India, 262,000
bales.
FROM BEAVER DAM.
We mentioned in our last that a party of Yan
kee cavalry had, on Sunday, made a descent
upon the Central railroad at Beaver Dam Station,
and that, owing to timely warning of the presence
of the enemy, the Central westward bound train
bad, alter reaching within a mile of the station,
backed elf and returned to this city.
We have since learned some particulars of the
raid. The Yankees, belween one and two bun
area in number, coming from the direction ol
Fred-ricksburg, arrived at Beaver Dam about
eigui o’clock Sunday morning. Mr. Smith, the
telegraph operator at tnat station, was surprised
and captured. They then cut the telegraph wire
and tore up just enough of the track between that
station ana Richmond to obstruct the passage of
the expected Ira n. Having secured themselves
against a surprise, they proceeded to lire a large
quantity o f wood belonging to the railroad com
pany and tbe depot, which contained a consid
erable amount ot corn and government stores,
,Wbile the work of destruction was going on at
tbe depot a party was sent to arrest Colonel Fon
taine, President of the Central railroad, who,
they had no doubt learned, was on a visit to his
■arm in the neighborhood; but Colonel Fontaine,
being apprised of their approach, made bis es
cape. The negro cabins and a number of out»
huuses near the depot were left untouched.
On hearing ihe whistle ot the approaching
train from Richmond tbe Yankees mounted in
hot haste and lied precipitately towards Fred
ericksburg.
Mr. Smith, the telegraphist, taking advantage
of the diversion created by tbe coming ot tbe
train, made bis escape.
In future no passenger train will be ran on
this road until the military authorities shall de
clare their intention of protecting it.
It will be seen that tbe amount of damage ac*
tually done by this loray is insignificant, the
most serious result by far being the feeling of
insecurity engendered along the entire line of
railroad, and throughout the whole country
north of Richmond and east of tbe Blue Ridgo.
Kkkm/md Ahnmtner, July 22.
Foreign Intervention.— An English officer
who has been sojourning here for some weeks
stated, this afternoon, in tbe rotnnda of the
Capitol, that England would recognize the South
ern Confederacy before the first of (September,
unless, in the meantime, our army captured Rich
mond.
He regarded General McClellan’s recent move
ments as a virtual defeat, and said that he had
exposed bis weakness to the rebels, and that his
Government would so understand it. This kind
of feeling is very freely indulged in by foreigners
here. It is evident that the English Government
has a number of paid agents here, who seize
upon every pretext to traduce our country. Home
of them are in our army . Yankee paper.
Extracts from a Washington Litter.— The
report that tbe rebels are disposed to make an
otner demons!rJUnn on tbe Shenandoah Valley,
isagaifi freely circulated this atternoon. A gen
tleman who came lrom Winchester last night
states that tbe rebels in that vicinity are san
guine that Stonewall Jackson *lll pay them an
other visit before the week is out. Gen. Pope
has made all thb necessary arrangements to re*
ceive him. His address to hil army, which is
published to-day, shows that he is determined
to do just exactly what he any*. Gen Pope has
made bimsetf Immensely popular while he has
been among us here. He looks like a soldier.
Yank*? Paper.
LATEST FBOM THE NORTH.
New York and Philadelphia papers of Thurs
day last, July ]7, have been received at the Daily
Express office. We make the following selec
tions ;
FROM NEW TORI.
The special correspondent ot tbe Philadelphia
Inquirer writes as lollows:
New YiRI, July 16th.
The eity has been agitated again toaday by
another batch of alarming rnmirs. One is, that
Stonewall Jackson is again on be tramp towards
Winchester, and that our troopi there are fulling
back on Harper’s Ferry; anoher is, that tbe
President has determined to renove General Me
lllelian, and that tbe armyot tie Potomac is to
be recalled lrom tbe Peninsula Tbe former is
thought to be probable, but Ihe latter is not
credited.
The depression in the stock aarket with lower
prices, etc., may be attributed o these rumors,
together with the arrogant ant uniriendly tone
of tbe London Tory journals owards the Fed
eral Government and the Noth. Private lei ,
ters from London and Liverpol bankers were
likewise shown in “the expressing an
apprehension that Linusay’s mr.ion tor a Recog

These represeataiioi.B, wbtber correct or
otherwise, did nut lend totnspre a very cheer*

From ihe Motile Tniune, July 30th.
FROM MEW ORLEANS.
We hive already published the information
that Butler had gone to Baton Rouge. We know
now what the object of hie visit was. It teems
that two regiments of the enemy—the one from
lowa and the other from Massachusetts—fell out
on the negro question, tbe former charging the
other with fighting for nothing else than the
negro. From words they came to blows, and an
intestine war raged with considerable fury. Ilut
ler put a stop to it and returned to his headquar
ters; but he had hardly reached New Orleans
before the trouble began again. Gen. Shipley
then went up; but we have no information of
what he accomplished.
The exact condition of Baton Rouge is not
' knowo, or what our army meditates id respect
1 to it. The opinion was that it will not be long
in the bands of the Yankees.
We are assured that over two hundred tombs
in Ihe New Orlosns cemeteries had been broken
into by the Vandals, in search of treasure and
other valuables. This is in keeping with the
bessiiality of Butler.
There is a smothered volcano in the city. The
loyal people are so angered and distiessed at
their condition, as to be hardly Bane ; yet they
ure so watched—so dogged by detectives, that
there is no safety except in silence. Tbe pres
sure on them only provokes them Ihe more, as is
natural; and when their pent up wrath does
break out, woe to the wretches who are doing
this great wrong.
The following paragraph we overlooked in
making our recent summary of New Orleans
news. We copy it from the Delta, of the 13th. It
would appear ham this that Butler has not ex
changed his plans for the humiliation of the
ladies:
VzitßUM Hap.— Home hundred miles or so north
ot this village there is a largecotton tactory in
operation. Just now the work of the factory runs
low for want of hands. It has been suggested
that the powers here are about to forward to the
institution quite a number of females to set tbe
works in mot on. Tbey will select the females
lrr Bi the number of those who parade the streets
ot ibis city insolently flaunting secession badges
in the laces of the defenders at once of New Or
leans and these self-same females. When this
is done cotton manufactures at tbe Baton Rouge
Penitentiary will revive.
FROM NEW ORLEANS.
We take the following extracis from the New
York Herald’s New Orleans correspondence, of
July Ist:
Writing of his return from a visit to Baton
Rouge, he saTS;
At twelve o’clock Sunday noon we started on
our return for New Orleans, where we arrived at
nine ihat night. Owing to our baviDg returned
sooner than we expected th-re was no carnage
waiting, and the General walked across the levee,
aod through ill-conditioned streets, attended by
a few officers, as safe as he could have done in
■ New York or Boston. Among the prtsoners
whom we brought down was the old man Roberts.
> who shot Col. McMillar. He is upwards of 70
years of age, and 1b a very determined character.
Ihe Gen. hardly knows what to do with him. He
has hccu tried by military commission at Baton
Ruuge, and f mnd guilty ol shooting Col. McMiU
>ar, and his property has been destroyed, in ac«
i curdance with Gen. Butler’s proclamation; but
i as be fired to defend his house, and as his son
was killed in tbe affair, it would be rather bard
i to bang him,
Tbe old man claims that be killed bis own son
accidentally, while Col. McMillar thinks be killed
him. The occurrence happened m this way :
Col. McMiller’s shot struck ihe young man to
tbe front of tbe neck, and just as he fell lorward
tbe old man fired at tbe Colonel, but tbe son
tell right in front of tbe muzzle ot his lather's gun,
and the charge striking in the bark ot his head
literally blew the top of his bead off The shot
ot either party would have killed ihe wretched
young man He was a guerrilla. Awaiting tbe
decision ot the General, Roberts remains in con
finement.
This morning, General Butler, with a few mem
bers of his stuff, established himself in the fine
residence of Genera! Twiggs General Shepley.
Military Oommanduol, and the Assistant Military
Commandant, Lieutenant Waizel, took posses
sion of the next bouse, the former property of
Colonel Adams, who is now in Virginia "with the
rebel army.
Alluding to the funeral of Lieut. George C.
DeKay, the writer proceeds ;
One of the women who scoffed at the remains
(sDd a woman who has already figured offen
sively in this rebellion) hss suffered severely
lor her base contumely, as 1 shall relate short*
lj :
It is due lo Ihe rector ol Christchurch to ex
plain bis position in this mailer. Rev. Mr. Lea
cock, tbe rector, although a warm secessismst,
is a Christian and a gentleman, and when asked
tor the nse ol his chuicb, thanked Capt. Clark
(who was making the arrangements for the fu
neral) for tbe opportuniiy he nad given him to
show that, although he was an enemy to the
Not ih in this war, yet, us a Chnstiau, he could
make no difference between a Federal and a
Confederate officer, and asked the privilege of
conducting the services. His offer was grate
fully accepted; but, owing to a matter about
wuieta there is a little mystery, he afterwards
requested that Mr. Chubbuck, chaplain ot the
81st Massachusetts, should officiate.
In church, yesterday, Mr. Leacock preached
from the text “Be ve courteous,” and took occa
sion to administer a severe and minted rebuke
to the spirit that bad brought such terrible dis
grace upon the house of God tbe day before
Tbe woman io whom 1 alluded above is tbe
well known Mrs. Phillip Phillips, who, with Mrs
Greenhow. was arrested last summer, at Wash
ington, for treason:
Os M s. Phillips’ appearance before the tyrant
Butler the writer says;
While General Butler was writing the shore
order Mrs. Phillips’ conduct was remarkable, to
use a mild term. She was so cool that I louud
it quite refreshing to sit in her shade. Occasion
ally she would look at the General as be was
writing, and would break into a broad smile ot
amused contempt, and affect to hide it behind
the tan which she swayed to and fro as slowly
and grscelnlly a3 she had ever done in tbe old
days when she presided in bersafoa at Washing
ton. Frequently she would raise her glass to
one eye and scan the objects around the office.
A nonce on tbe door especially attracted her at
tention, and afforded her particular amusement.
It read thus :
There is no difference between a be and a she
adder, in their venom.” Alter she had been re
moved from the ' ffiee she sent back a request
that she might be exiled instead of being seut to
Shin Ihlana I have been io doubt ever since
whether she intended thi* us a delicate satire or
was serious. It she was l n earnest I think she
will hare no doubt about Ship Isla.d being a
place of exile before she bas been tbere twenty
four boors. An experience of two mouths and
a half tberet when tbe Island was crowded wub
troops and resounded wiih tbe hum of busy toil,
wassnfficient to confound St. Helena aad the
Garden of Eden in my mind.
Mrs. Phillips is a rather fine looking womaA,
and was dressed very neatly in white through
out.
Fk*h Florid v.—A letter dated camp Jackson,
Florida, July 16th says: Three or four days
ago, some of tbe citizens of Washington county
captured four Yankee skulkers. From infor
mation obtained they are a portion of some
renegades who left that section Q f Florida and
joined the enemy when the war broke out, and
were, at the time of their capture irymg to
engineer their way to visit their old stamping
ground. They had Yankee passet and will be
apt to learn tbe fate of a!) traitors. On Sunday
last about ferty of our cavalry scouts visited the
neighborhood ol Pensacola, and had tbe te
merity to venture within half a mile of the city,
where they obtained a good view of the bay. and
where they ssw a man-of-war and a gunooot.
with several email craft There are now but
few Yankees at Pensaeola, and there never have
been many tbere.

Arrival of Artillery.— Twenty-four piece i
of Brass Field Artillery ale now at the Confedv
, erate Arsenal in this city, with the caissons and
other equipments. They were brought to this
eountrv by ihe Nashville, and forwarded by the
Central Railroad to be put in proper condition
for use, They appear to have seen some service,
butare, every way, in good repair and the fix
tures of a very substantial construction. They
were manufactured in Russia in 1857, and cap
tured bv the English in the Crimean War. They
were the present of merchants either in Livers
pool or Glasgow to the Confederate Govern
ment.
One accouut says that there were eighty guns
worth over a million, and tb&t they were pur
chased by Liverpool merchants for this country.
Another that they were purchased by the mer
chants ot Glasgow for 50,000 pounds, and a ves
sel sent to the Crimea lor them. The first name
on the subscription list was in old merchant,
ninety-ithree years of age, who gave two thous
and pounds, and the necessary amount was
raised ip an hour. These statements
may belong to separate transactions. But the
most important lacts are. the feeliDgs of for
eign merchaDtß for car Confederacy, and that
twentv-ronr of the cannon are in Macon.
Jfjcon [Ga.) Journal <t Mtmvgcr, July 24.
13?" We find the following in the
Petersburg Express, of July 22d :
Information Wasted.— ln the battle known as
Seven Pines by the Confederates, and Fair Oaks
by the Ft-derais. fought on the 31st of May and
Junel, W. F. Garrison, Orderly Sergeant of com
pany F, Nineteenth Geurgia Regiment, was res
ported "mvsing, fate unknown.” Since (hat
time nothing has been heard from him uQd his
parents, who reside at Carrollton, are in deep dis
tress at bis unknown fate. If anybody in either
army can communicate any in elligence concern*,
ing the tate of young Garrison, it will he confers
ring a great iaror upon his now deeply grieved
relatives.
If the New -York and Philadelphia papers
would institute an inqutrv through their columns
concerning Ibis young man. probably it would
accomplish the trbjt-ct ot this paragraph. The .
service would be cheerfully paid for, if there was
any way to forward the money,but under existing
circumstances this is impossible. Will not the
papers of those cities, for the sake of humanity,
aid in ascertaining the late of the missing one,
and thereby, if possible, relieve the terrible load
of suspense and agony under which his father
and mother now suffer? Any information
directed to the Petersburg Exprese will be cheer
fully communicated to the parents at Carrollton
Gs-
Fire in the Camp.— Parties from below state
that there was a large fire in the vicinity of
Berkeiy, where McClellan’s Hessian army is now
encamped, on Saturday night last. From such
observations as could be made on this side of
the river, coupled with the Isct that repeated
explosions, ot guns or kegs of powder, were
distinctly beard, the general impression is that
another ut Lincoln's gunboats has been destroyed.
The reflection of the light illuminated the South
b»Dk es the river for many miles, and small ob*
jects were plainly visible. We suppose late
papers by the next flag of truce will throw ad
ditional light on the matter. By the Wav, the
gunboat known as the MiraUms, which got
aground in the Appomattux some three weeks
ago, and was burned by the enemy, was a loss
wnioh has never been permitted to find its way
into the Northern papers. The wreck of the
Maratanza is still to be seen.
