THE INTIHCKITKD DISPATCHES FROM

FORCE AROUND RICHMOND, ETC.
Toe New York Herald publishes the following
intercepted dispatches from President Davis and
Gen. Cooper to Gen.' Lee, sent while the Confed*
erate army was in Pennsylvania, tn reference to a
proposition tor assembling an army at Culpeper
under Gon. Beauregard, and the late Union ope
rations on the Peninsula:
Adjutant General's Ornes, I
Richmond, Jone 28, 1863. J
Gbnsxal: White with ths President last eve
ning 1 received ysur letter of the 23d inst. Alter
reeding it to the President he was embarrassed to
understand that part of it which refers to the plan
cf aas-mblng an army at Culpeper Court House,
under Gen. Beauregard. Thia is the first intima
tion taut lie bus had that such a plan was ever in
contem itauoo, and, taking all things into consid
ers 11 n, lie cannot see bow it can by any possi
bil.tr be carried into effect. Yon will doubtless
learn before thia reaches you that the enemy has
ng .xia a.-sembled in force on tbe Peninsula, estis
mated between 20,000 and 30,000 men, from 6,000
to 10,000 of whom are reported to be in the vi
cinity of the White House, and tbe remainder at
Yotkiown. It is impossible to say whether the
estimated number is correct, as the several ac*
counts vary, and are not deemed altogether trust
worthy; but tbe estimate, making due allowance
tor er rot 3, is quite near enough to satisfy the moal
incredulous that be is in the vicinity tn sufficient
toev-e in cavalry, artillery and infantry, to do mneb
harm, whether his purpose be to make a demon
SiTlHi'-'U 98 Richmond, or to confine himself to
raids in breaking your communications and de
vastating the country.
Hia efforts in the lust case may prove moresuc
aras'.ut than m the first, if we may judge by whai I
took p.'jce at Hanover only two days ago, when
about I,9yd nr 1,280 of his cavalry suddenly ap
peared there and did some execution in breaking
tbe railroad and burning’s bridge, some build
inge, public stores, Ac. ft is important that thi;
laid took place only about two aays after General
Corse's brigade had left there lor Gordonsviile
Had it rema iced at Hanover Junction it is rea- I
sonubte io suppose that moat of the enemy’t
cavalry would have been eHher destroyed or cap
tured, and the property saved from injury. Every
effort is being maue here to be prepared tor the
enemy hi all points, but we most look chitfly to
th« urokiCtiou of th® c&dil&L In dotair this wt
tsay be our gel to hazard some ether points. You
can easily eaiimzte our strength, and I sugges:
foryuur consideration whether in this state oi
things you might be able to spare • p irtion ot
your rnree to protect your line of oommunicatioi.
against atwmpied raids by the enemy.

defence or R.cbmond, and the plan of raining an
army tor the capture of Washington, m the event

. Richmond, June 28, 1863.
General—Yours of the 23d was received Uiu
evening, and 1 hasten to reply to the point pre
seated in relation to the forces on the coasts ot
South Carolina and Georgia. The hopes indulged
as to our operations at the time which would in
tarvene between the discharge ot the enemy’s
framed troops and the substitution for them by
ethers bare been disappointed by tbe very error
a gat a<4 which it was sought by warning to guard.
Grant reached the river, got rein orcements.
made entrenchments, and General Johnston con
tinues u> cad for reinlDrcements, though bis first
requisition was mure than-filled by withdrawing
troops trom Generals Beauregard and Bragg
General Bragg u threatened with attack, has talk
en back to tiis entrenched position at Tul ahoma,
and called on Buckner ior aid.
i. General Beauregard says that no trocps have
been withdrawn enemy from bia from
since those returned to New burn, and that hi*
whole force is necessary to cover his line. Thi*
being tn answer to a proposition to iollow a move*
memos the enemy, said to be to the West, with
ail bis disposable force, pointing him at the same
time to the vital importance of holding the Mis
sissippi, and cvomuntcating the fear that Vicks
burg wouid fall unless Johnston was strong!)
and promptly reinforced. D. H. Hill has a small
ferae, pan of which has been brought heie—
Cimgmas’s brigade is near Wilmington; Col
(jam's at Kinaum ; Martin’s, nominal, on the
railroad at W eldon, and C. Cook’s, Ransom’s, and
Jenkins’ have been brought here—the two last
temp r-inly trom the dUeuce ot Petersburg and
the country thereabouts.
W.se s brigade is, as you left it, in the defence
of Richmond, and serving into the country to the
east of the city. The enemy hare been repulsec
in large force nt the White House, with indica
tions of an advance on Richmond. We are or*,
gauizing companvs tor home duties, and the spir
it of resistance is increasing. Corße’S'bngade, iu
accordance wuh your orders, has been left at Han
over Junction. Ail the aruhery, lam informed,
was taxen away, and the single regiment of infan
try winch ccnstituied the guard for the bridge*
proved unequal to the task, as you have no doubt
learned. K;inforcomeuts were ordered to go up,
but some delay occurred, and they arrived too late
io save the bridge or the brave guard which had
unsuccessfully defended it. The Yankees, re*
ported to be three regiments of cavalry, returned
l rum the Central road in the direction or Hanover
(old town) and nothing has been heard of them
since.
it was' stated that Gen. H. F. Lee was cap»
fared at the house of Mr. Wickham, but I trust
it will prove to be one ot the many startling ru
men wuicti the newsmongers invent. The ad
vance of your army increases our want for cavalry
on the north -and east of the city; bu< except
one regiment from north Ca oliaa, [ do hot
know or any which we can expect soon to be
erasable to us. In years of the 20th you say :
‘■lt acy of the brigades that I have left behind tor
tfie protection of Richmond can, in your opinion
oe spared, X should like them to be sent me." —
At Lis been an tfiurt with me to answer the cia«
mor 11 have troops stopped or recalled to pros
lect its any and the railroad communicating with
yoir army. Curse’s brigade has gone and Wise’s
is the only other left by you. Cook’s was m
North Carolina, and Davis’ brigade was sent to
complete Heib’s division in place of Cook’s, and
Ksasam's ana Jenkins’ constitute the defences
of the south side as tar as Weldon, and are relied
on lor service elsewhere trom Wilmington to
Richmond.
ueuerai Eizy Is positive that ths enemy intend
to attack herfi, and his scouts bring intelligence
which, if believed, would render no more anxiety
for »he city than a*, any former time, frdo not
beiiive that the Yankees have such force as is
slated, but they have enough to render it neces
sary to keep some troops within reach, and some
at Petersburg, at least until Suffolk is truly evacu
ated. Do cot understand me as balancing ac.
counts in the mutter of brigades. I oniy repeat
that I have not any to send you, and enough to
form an army to threaten, if not capture Wash
ingtou, as soon as it is uncovered by Hooker's
army. My purpose was to show you tnat the force
here and tn North Carolina is very small, and 1
v»y add that isle brigades are claimed as property
of their commune. Our information as to ihe
enemy’s mtentions may be more full and trust
worthy hereafter. It is now materially greater
toaa when you were here.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
Jxrr Davis.

CAPTURE OF MOUGAN-HOtV IT WAS DOMJ
FUL». PAHTICULAIiS OF I HE >1 R - t- ’.Ol-R-
P«'<’LAMAT«>N OF THE GOVERNOR OF
The rumor of Morgana capture is cor.Grtueu.
Tbe Ohio papers give some interesttngparticulars
of the affair. The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald's ac
count says.
A plan had been laid for the capture of Mor
gan's entire band. Thu militia were stationed ou
a hill overlooking a road which Morgan was ex
pected to traverse, and tbe cavalry and other re
gular forces were to occupy positions that would
have enabled them to surprise and “ bag’’ the
entire rebel command. As the Ninth Michigan
cavalry, under Major Way. were moving along
the road to take up the position assigned to them,
they were mistaken by tbe militia force for the
rebels, and were fired into. This, of course, com
polled the cavalry to fall back, and before the er
ror could be retrieved, Morgan and his forces had
escaped.
General Brooks, commanding tbe department,
had gone to Wellsville and established his head.,
quarters in the Cleveland and Pittsburg depot,
where he was assisted bv the managing officers ot
the road, who had placed the transportation
and telegraphic resources of the road as his dis*,
posal. Finding that there was a probability that
Morgan would cross the road in the vicinity Os
Salineville, a train nt cars was sent up the road
about six o’clock Sunday morning with a regi
ment of six months’ Pennsylvania imautry, un
der command of Colonel Gallagher. They were
disembarked at Salineville uud m arcus a to a
point about two miles distant, where toe rebels
were expected to cross. Tbe infantry were posted
on some rising ground, with orders to prevent
Morgan’s passage.
At this time the utmost alarm existed among
the people of Salineville. Ttie houses were closet!,
doors and windows locked and barred, and wo
men and children stampeding into the country
with whatever portable property could bo curried
along. The men who had weapons uud courage
turned out to resist the progress of the dreaded
rebel, while all the others lied with the women
and children.
In a short time the expected rebels made their
appearance, coming around a bead in the road.
On catching sight oi the inlantry they united,
and turned their horses’ beads in another di rec
ti >n. Before they could get. out of the trap they
found themselves in, Major Way, with 250 men
of the Michigan cavalry, dashed among them, and
commenced cutting right and lafu The rebels
made but a brief resistance. A few shots were
fired by them, and then the whole party broke in
utter ednfusion. The acene that followed was al
most ludicrous, and could only be matched bi '
the previous stampede at Buffiington Island.—
Men dismounted, threw down tueir arms and
begged for quarter, whilst others galloped around
wildly in search of a place of escape, and were
‘•brought to time” by a pistol shot or sabre
Morgan himself was riding in a carriage drawn
by two white horses. Major Way saw him, and
galloping np, reached for him. ‘ Morgan jumpeo
out at the other side oi tbe carriage, leaped ovei
a fence, seised a horse, and gallop .u off as last as
norse flesh, spurred by frightened heats, ceaid
carry him. About a couple ot tiuudreri oi his
men succeeded tn breaking awav, and jollowing
their fugitive leader. In the buggy thus bastite
evacuated by Morgan were found niaxationa, con
stating ofa loaf ot bread, some hard boiled eggs,,
and a bottle of whisky.
The Bomber of killed in this fight was much
less than at first reported. The number of kilxo
rebels was set down at from twenty to thirty, bui
this must be overrated, as we cannot learn of
more than five or six dead bodies having been
found. There was a considerable number of
wounded, and about two hundred prisoners taken,
together with horses and arms. A special trail,
was sent to Wellsville in tbe alteration, with
about two hundred and titty prisoners, caplurec
in tbe fight or picked up in the neighborhood al"
ter ward.
A few of our cavalry were wounded, two 01
three seriously. Lieutenant Fisko was sboi
through the breast. His wound is dangerous, and
he has telegraphed for his wife to come from Mi
chigan.
Morgan and tbe remainder of his scattered
forces pressed three citizens es Salineville mio
itteir service as guides, and emtinued their fl.gh.
on the New Lisoon-road. Uueot tne impresueu
guides made his escape and road back, conveying
intelligence of the route taken, which, it was be
lieved, was with the ultimate design of reaching
the Ohio river higher up. Forces were itnme
diately dispatched from Wellsville to bead him
.iff, whilst another force followed hotly tn hi:
rear, and a strong militia force from New Lisbon
came down to meet him.
About two o’clock in the afternoon these varta
ous detachments closed iu around Morgan in tbe
vicinity of West Point, about midway between
New Lisbon and Wellsville. Tbe rebels were
driven to a bluff, from which there was no escape,
except by fighting their way through, or leaping
from a lofty and almost perpendicular precipice
Finding themselves thus cooped, Morgan concli -
ded that “discretion was the be ter part of valor,
and ‘ canae down” us gracefuay as sue coon die
Davy Crockett. He, w.ro Hie rvabMUdcj* ot
gang, surrendered to Uoi. Simcie toi <l, wu v u
well acquainted with tne redoubtub.e **J >tiu.”auu
is said to be a distant relative.
Tne prisoners were brought back to Wellsville,
where their arrival caused great excite neat. Mor
gan retained his side arms, aud moved airotii
freely, although accompanied by Co). Sbackohord.
Lost night (Sunday) Morgan and his staff slept ai
the Whittaker House, tn Wellsvilfe, and at three
o’clock this morning they, accompanied by Col.
Shackleford and his staff, left on the regular train
tor Columbus. Later in the mo;mng a special
train was to be sent to Columbus with the re--
msinder of the prisoners and their guaids.
The miiitia are constantly bringing into the
line of the road stray prisoners, picked up in the
country. Tbe hills are swarming with armed
men, hunting tor fugitive rebels. Nine of Mcr*
gan’s party were brought’to Bayard Station ibis
morning, who were captured in the neighborhood
by the Provost Marshal’s force. They we:e ta
ken at Alliance, to be sent from that place to
Columbus.
Morgan's men were poorly dressed, ragged,
dirty and very badly used up. Some of laetu
wore remnants of grey uniform, but most of them
were attired in spoils gathered during their raid.
They were very much discouraged ut the result
of their raid, and the prospect of affairs gene
rally*
Morgan himself appeared io good spirits, and
quite unconcerned at his ill luck. He is a well
omit man, of fresh complexion, and sandy beard
and hair. He last night enjoyed, for the first
time in a long while, tbo comforts of a sound
sleep in a good bed, which was some compensa
tion for his otherwise bad luck.
Governor Tod, of Ohio, has issued a proclama*
tton congratulating tne people of tbe State up-.n
the capture of Morgen. The document concludes
thus:
The tosses upon our side have been trifling, so
far as numbers are concarued; but I am pained tu
be compelled to announce that a few gallant sptr
its have been taken from us. ' Prominent among
4)e number is the brave Major Daniel McCook.
Tbe damage to property will necibsariiy.be
large iu dollars and cents, but insignificant when
contrasted with the beneficial results to our Slate
and country.
Prompt measures have'been taken to ascertain
tbe names of tbe sufferers, and the amount of,
damage sustained, all of which will be
cated to tbe next Gene'ral Assembly. Steps have
also been taken to adjust and pay for all service
rendered by the militia, ample provision for
watch wan made by the last General Assembly.
And now, fellow-citizens, do not for a moment
doubt but tb it this raid of Morgan will ultimately
prove a benefit to us as a people. It has taught
an insolent foe tbat, however so well provided, or
however so large, be cannot with impunity jn
vade our State. ,
Let me say, then, to the military forces of Onio,
both volunteers and militia, go vigorously forward
with your organizations. This raid has taujjht ?
you the lesson that you have something to dp;
and that your trainings are not mere idle ceremo
nies—you are to be the conservators of peace—
upon you, the people of tbe State depend to main
tain law and preserve quiet and order in every
neighborhood—be prepared, at once, to do your
duty fully.

FROM THE UNITED STATES.
P Tbe Richmond papers contain extracts from
the Northern papers to the 31st. A Cincinnati
• dispatch, dated July 29, says :
Columbus special dispatches say that the ques
tion whether Capt. Burbridge bad authority to
accept the surrender ot John Morgan will be
, speedily determined. He was not a regularly
elected militta captain, nor had he any command
at the time of Morgan’s surrender.
I Capt. Burbridge, with a few companions, was
acting as a guide tor Morgan, when the latter,
’ discovering our forces closing in upon him, sur
rendered to him m order that he might secure
terms to suit himself.
Captain Burbridge at once granted the terms
which Morgan proposed.
A few moments afterwards Shackelford came
up and took charge of the rebel gang, refusing to
recognise the terms of surrender.
Morgan will doubtless be sent back to Colum
bus and lodged in the penitentiary.
Cincinnati, July 26, 1863.
John Morgan, Colonel Cluke and about thirty
tattler rebel otliuera arrived here last night, und
were taken to the city prison.

Colonel Pegram, with between fifteen bund.ed
and two thunsand men, crossed the Cumberland
river a day or two since, and moved north to
wai Us Richmond. He was in the vicinity ot that
place at the last accourts.
the prevailing opinion here iu military ciicles
is that wneu Pegram started he was not aware ot
the capture of Morgan, and contemplated usaiat

the disposal ot our forces iu Kentucky is such
as will render it impossile for tarn to either ad

IRON SHIPBUHdIiNH ON THE MERSEY'.
There arc now iu course of construction no less
than twenty-three vessels of various sizes, not in
cluding guaboats tor the Emperor of China, and
tbe frigate for the English Government at Birken
aead. An improvement iu the building of ships
has lately bqpn introduced, ana the reports from
mu axperimouial vessels are very satisfactory ina
deed. We refer to the building of vessels oi
steel, It.gives ships double tbe strength of iron,
-fua plates just oue half the thickness, thus at
.a a ng them to curry a cargo on a considerably
urutt ot water; it is also stronger than iron,
• mg of auca light substance the vessels can
.~i with liner lines, ao satisfactory have tbe
.. >ui-:ut» been that a keel has been laid down
■j'ciuiid a ship oi l,odd tons tor Messrs. U. 8.
i ueaivo A Go., to trade between tins poll and the
busi iauies.
The steel fleet are the steamers Banshee and
Piiautuiu (the latter now loading ut thia port for
Nassau) and tbe schooner Domitila, now on her
way to the Saadwich islands. Mr. Laird Las also
on bind the two gunboats for the Emperor oi
China, but about whose ultimate destination so
much has been said. They are m a very forward
state, and. their launch may soon be looked for.
Some of the plates used are five inch ones, and
are berrt.fo the requisite angle by hydraulic power,
foe vessels are beauulul specimens of naval ar
caiteciui'e, and very strong, built in M.r. Laird's
well known style, and will certainly add efficient
ly to a fleet in either the China or Confederate
Waters. From these it will be seen that the trade
js at present unusually brisk, and will bear favor
able comparison with any other part of the King*

MISBIEBIFFI.
HtMENGTH OF TH! YaNKKKS ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
—A highly intelligent correspondent writes to
the Mobile. Tribune that tbe Federal forces ou the
Mississippi are greatly exaggerated. From au»
Lflehjic sources, I have formed estimates which I
ihiuz you will find more reliable than the extra
vagant statemenis published. Tbe disposable
force of Grant duos not exceed 40,000 men. With
ihe6c be will have to defend the two banks of the
river, and to pursue and. destroy Johnston und
Kirby Smith’s armies, and to maintain a strong
garrison ut Vicksburg and at other points. He
cun get no reiniorvarneuts—ha bus exhausted ail
these.
Banks has not 15,000 nil told, to hold Louis
uinu, and ha hus to. garrison New Orleans, Port
Hudson, Donaldson and the forts. Tne force in
ibe Geld does not exceed that which Taylor and
Mogmdor cau bring to bear against him. These
Generals already hold tbe western part of Louis
iana , if Banks pursues them to the interior he
leaves a weak ioice ou the river and our light
troop,i can operate with great effect. Whilst our
armies must increase, those of the enemy must
dimini. b. Vicksburg has already cost General
Grant half his original army.
Gen. Joum4T.mi> Abmy,—The Daily Clarion,
published ut Meridian, 30tn July, says: There is
no infeliigeijeu from Gen. Johnston’s army. The
camps aud men remain as they were, near Mor
ion, 00 Birorg river. Whatever may be in con
templu.ti.op,one thing is certain—the commander
iu cUtpf keeps his own counsel. Ali present ap*
preheusuias have passed away from the minds of
ibe people of this section of country, so complete

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF THE GREAT BATTLE
-A BRAVE FEDERAL GENERAL
A correspondent of the Savannah Republican,
(Tout le Monde) writing from Hagerstown, July
13, furnishes the following interesting letter:
This invasion has been of very little profit to
tbe Confederacy so far, but in the humble opinion
of your correspondent it may have been of toe
greatest importance. ’Tis very true General Lee
has not left Maryland yet, but, unless more is
done in the next move, it would be well enough
to move buck into Virginia. Now the awtul bat
tle has passed and we are quietly waiting perhaps,
for another equally as awful and destructive. We
can look at these things calmly and say wha. we
think. The army was in the finest condition ever
known to meet the Federal army, and in trains
and equipage there was nothing wanting. Every
one felt sure of victory, If it were possible to meet
tbe enemy on anytbiqg like equal ground, und
went on to the tune of buttle in tbe highest con
fidence. But for some reason or other the strength
of tbe Southern army wus hurled against a posi
tion almost us impregnable as Vicksburg or
Gibraltar, and wasted away as if a perfect infatua
tion bud possessed our commander. Why could
not the army have been withdrawn when the
strength ot the position was discovered?
It is a singular tact that Gen. iWs usual sagac
ity deserted him ou this occasion at Gettysburg.
Now, there may be some who will in their vene
ration lor our lavonte General, condemn this ex
pression cf a conviction, but that should not de
ter any one from doing a duty. Tnere lay the
rocky side of a mountain crowned with artillery,
and nned from bottom to summit with Minnie
muskets, presenting an impregnable and destruc
tive front, against which our army was hurled
again and again in perfect madness. Nothing
was equal to the folly unless it wag the sub
lime bravery of the Southern sol
diers. Was that the oniy way to Baltimore, or
was there no other battle field on the wide extent
ot Pennsylvania? Wes Gen. Lee’s military lore
wanting io uucoyer what was next to be done?
Al any rate the strength of the army was spent
against tboae rocky mountain sides, the enemy
was driven to his stronghold and stormed at un
til it was useless to storm any mure, then it was
withdrawn and nothing accjmplisbed.
'Tis true the enemy was badly crippled, and
many of his dead and wounded strewed toe ground,
out what was that when lie is left to recruit anu
come again in future. It is on earnest conviction
that they may have been cut to pieces and to
tally destroyed if a ground had been selected in
which it was possible for an army to do it in
equal combat. Every man, it seemed, was deter
mined to uooomplian this end. Our officers went
forward lu recklessness that astonished even the
old veterans that knew what was true bravery,and
the mortality among them has nowhere been
equalled in any battle of thin dreadful struggle
Handreds of iuo best b.ood of ihe Bouth flowed,
and men went duwu to rise no more who woniu
nave honored any nation ever born; but nothing
came oi all this. The enemy, in perfect despera
tion on bis own soil, held his ground to the lust,
und our urmy wus forceed to leave the ground
which Gen. Leo had chosen te give him battle.
’Twas just as mucn his choice as tbat ot the ene
my, and any time he may have withdrawn. What
General ever makes a battle without qnderstunda
ing the ground ? Gen. Lee mast have been de
ceived, und to that extent was greatly culpaole.
P.obauly this may cause other Cm respondents and
venerators ot tbe Genera; to unuihilate this expo
sifruu, but it may go foitb in defiance, tor our
convictions are nones i.
In Gen. Benning's brigade there were exam*
plea ot bravery never surpassed. The General
tnmself rode tbrougb the storm that came from
those summits like a mountain torrent, perfectly
calm, and the men hud a noble example of bra
very, which they followed most explicitly. His
Horse was shot, but the lutes spared mm. Lieut.
Col. William T. Harns, ot the 2a Georgia, went
before bis men in unit awful gorge, us it he were
leading them to a parade. Col. John A. Jones,
of tbe zotb Georgia, was a prominent example to
every doubting heart in his command, but he and
Got, Harris fell in all their glorious aeeds, to rise
never again tor our cause or for the delight oi
their heart —stricken lamiliea at home. Kverys
where horror had a great feast that day. Be
side and in a little stream that forced us way
through tbe gorge where the 17tb «u»a 2d met the
many oi the enemy and so many ot the
Southerners Heit tout water was tinged with
the blood tbat flowed into it. Tais shown how
desperate was the figal.
Tbe enemy showed examples of bravery in that
battle that they never exhibited to such an extent
in any fight before. We saw lines formed under
our terrible fire and moved up to our hues in tbe
most daring manner, and it is said that some oi
our troops met them actually with the bayonet
and butts oi their guns. The 16ih Georgia eus
gaged the U, B. Regulars in a desperate conflict
ot ibis sort, in which a stubborn light ensued lot
tbe colors. The enemy lost the stand. On the
4th the cavalry forces of the enemy appeared on
our right flank, endeavoring to get into our wagon
train. Gen. Anderson’s brigade skirmished with
them all day. Gradually giving way in the eve
ning the enemy was drawn into our lines, and
about 900 of this force were cutoff entirely from
thednain body. Gen. Farnsworth commanded
tbJm, and upon discovering his situation attempt
ed to break through our lines. Everywhere a
Dlazeqt musketry met him. At last, dashing up
in front of the bold Ist Texas, he was command
ed to surrender; but be was a brave, daring man,
and stinging under the mortification of being cap
tured, drew a revolver and blew his own Drains
out. It was a pity ; a Soutneruer would rejoice
to honor such courage. All of his command, ex
cept what wus shot down tn the fire, surrendered,
without following his example.
At present Gen. Lee is fortifying himself, mak
ing his line reach from the Potomac to Hagers
town. It may be added that he is prepared to
meet the enemy aud to cross his trams over the
river at his leisure.
A'BTRONG APPEAL TO THE IRISH.
The New York Metropolitan Journal has a tong
article addressed to the Iriab, tbe occasion for
which is the disappearance of the Irish brigade
as an organization:
Cit zen soldiers oi Irish birth, you have been
massacred that the negro may be emancipated—
you have been slaughtered for the enslavement of
the whites. While yeu have beea shedding your
blood, tbe tyranny st Washington has been en
gaged in a war against the freedom of the press,
against tbe liberty of speech, und against citizen
rights. It has been the aim to convert the Bouih
into another Ireland, and to render tbe Union of
the North and the Bouth as accursed as that by
which your native land—tne land of our birth as
well as yours—is bound to tbe British Crown.
Burely, yu%huve no sympatny with such a des
potism as prevails at Washington ; surely, you
can have no feeling ia common with an Ad
ministraiiou that silently sanctions tke hellish
outrages committed by a Puritanical soldiery in
the sanctuaries of our most holy religion.
No, fellow-citizena of Irish birth, you ut least
have no cause for hetred to the Bouth, whose sons
are fighting tor tbe sovereignty of the States, and
to save their property from plunder by a set ol
men who are acting in defiance of all law, and
every right tbat is sacred to freemen. Remember
that the sacking of the Uatnolic churches at Win
chester, at Jacksonville, and the dasfecration oi
your sacred edifices in other places, have not been
even rebuked by the authorities at Washington.
Remember, while your wives and children nave
been suffering destitution tor want of that pay
which was withheld from you for months, the ne»
groes have been taken under the paternal care
and patronage of our Abolition rulers and put ia
the forefront of battle with bayonets behind them
Why should you allow yourselves to be made the
tools of the men in power? Wfiat qtwrei have
you with the men of tne South? Hare you not
been taught a lesson under British rule that you
should never forget? Is it not time that vou
should retuse to be made the instruments for'the
enslavement, of a gallant, a noble, and a chival
rous people? Let there be no more Irish brigades
formed to aid the subjugation of the Bouth. But
if you are to fight, devote your brave hearts and
your strong arms, under the guidance and direc
tion of our regularly constituted Stale authorities,
to the preservation of your citizen rights in tuese
Northern States when those authoriies shall call
for yeur services.

TENNESSEE.
Memphis Intblligsncs.—We were called upon i
this morning by a gentleman direct from Mem
phis, an old citizen, who left home on the 23d ult.
He had in charge several ladies who were anxious
to reach Mobile.
Our friends reports no change in the situation
of things, in a military point of view, about the
city, unless we except the arrival every day ot large
□umbers of sick and disabled from Gram’s army.
As these are able to travel they are sent ou North,
ret the numerous hospitals of the city are full.
We are also told, however, that this drain is pro.
bably workiog no perceptible decrease of the
forces in the field, as their places are being evis
dently filed by the return of those to the ranks
who had been previously sent up, tbe absence of
some of whom dates as far back as December 1,
18G2. Every transport down carries numbers of ,
them. As fate as the 23d no organized body of •
troops had arrived from below, and the gentleman 1
referred to doubts the report shat Grant had sent
any up the river. Nothing of the kind was talked
of in Memphis, and he says if our rumors from ,
Vicksburg, as to the movements of McPherson’s
corps, were true, they should have reached the 1
Biufi City before he left.
Tbe ngorous course of the military authorities ’
has compelled ooediecce on the part of almost
the entire portion of the old population leftm tbe i
city. Thousands have, under tbe iron rule of
military despotism, yielded a sullen acquiescence
to circumstances they could not control, but their i
hearts are with us, and none will more gladly
nail the success of our cause than they, although |
debarred from contributing to its aid.
In -the late election of course an Abolition tn- I
umph was inevitable, but it is generally conceded I
the plug ugly or rowdy element of the party con- i
trolled the ballot boxes. The new government is |
regarded by the prudent citizens us an unsafe one, i
upon wii ch little reliance can be placed either for <
tbe protection of person or property. i
In the Bulletin, oi the 28d ult., before us, we i
find but little ot local interest. There was con- i
sideruble ac.ivity on the levee yesterday morn* I
mg. The evening, however, was’too hot lor peo* i
pie on the levee. The river is falling still. The i
Imperial, from New Orleans, is expected up to- i
night. Very little business about the levee last i
night. Steamboatmen are emphatically resting
ou their ours just at this time.
The steamer i’lauet, from Port Hudson, arrived |
on the 22d, having ou board one hundred und
sixty Cuntede.rate oiiicers who were captured ut
Port Hudson. They were on their way North as <
prisoners ot war. They were of alt grades, fr on
lieutenants to colonels, and a very fine looking set
of men, says the Bulletin.
The First Baptist Church edifice had been fitted
up for a hospital exclusively for surgical purposes.
A new order had been issued in regard to ne- <
groes. It was directed that the name, age, sex,
height, and other usual marks of identification, ot
each negro, be presented in writing by tfie per.
son applying to register tbe eame. The appli
cant wilt make oath that such negro is his lawful
property, and in his possession, or is regularly
employed by bitn. For each negro registered, a
descriptive certificate will be issued, exempting
the holder from arrest and impressment. This
certificate will be presented lor renewal by tbe
person to whom issue I—if the owner, quarterly ;
ifthu employer, monthly. All negroes found
without such certificate, after the time limited,
will be sent, as vagrants, to the superintendent of
ntrabands.— Appeal.

Ordinary caution having failed to secure the

Any person, therefore, found iu the vicinity of

tempt to move off on the approach of any of onr
troops, will be shot without hailing.
If he gives himself up he will be sent directly

he gives us no evidence of bis whereabouts.

OF THB DAILY AUGUSTA CONSTITUTIONALIST.
Mr. Editor ; Below I furnish you with a list of
tbe casualties in Wright’s Brigade, at Manassas
Gap, July 23d. The brigade was ordered to re
lieve Benning’s, of Longstreet’? corps,and accord
ingly on the morning of the 23d ult. proceeded
from Front Royal in the direction of the Gap.
We were about six hundred strong. Colonel E. J.
Walker, of the 3d Georgia, in command. It was
understood tbat we were to have artillery with us,
but tor some reason or other we had none.
Having placed in position the 22d and 48th
Regiments, Col. Walker then sent the 8d Georgia
about a mile in advance, and to the right of the
ground occupied by the brigade; this was on a
very high hill, where we had a full view of the
valley and Gap. With a lew pi ices of artillery
our regiment could have held this hill against
six times its number.
About noon, or sooner, it d*as discovered ths'
ihe enemy were coming down the Gap in strong
force. Skirmishers were thrown out from ou
different regiments, but looked “few and rar be
iween,” when compared with those of the enemy,
who had a double line of them, and deployed not
more than five pieces, while ours were compelled
to extend their in'erva's, inorder to cover the
ground and connect one command with the other
About one o’clock the'picket firing began, and
by three P. M., tbe enemy advanced severe
brigades. Our Skirmishers fell buck slowly, and
at one time it siemed that they would hold tbe
ground against the enemy's lines of battle, bu'
they poured in too heavy for them. Two brigades
of infantry and a regiment of cavalry bad in the
meantime’ charged the position held by a portion
of tbe 3d Georgia, falling back towards tbe othei
regiment. It was found impossible to connect the
lines—ere over the hills came a force of tbe ene
my oriving our pickets before them and bearing
rapidly down cn the remnant of the 3d Georgia
every man of which seemed determined ft put an
end to as many of the foe as possible. We tough'
at this point terribly and the blue coats fell fast
It was not long however before we were com
pelted to fall back.
Just as tbe fight opened Gen. Ewell rode up
to Col. Walker und took a view of the ground
and expressed himself satisfied with thi disposi
tion of the froces. Rhodes’ Division came up in
supporting distance during the afternoon, and a
battery took position some distance in our rear,
firing a few shell at the enemy as we fell back for
tbe last time. This checked their advance and as,
dark set in the fight closed.
Col. Walker was wouuded early in the engage
ment by one of the enemy’s sharpshooters, who
must have been a half mile dia’att.
I have confined my comments chiefly to the
part taken by the 3d Georgia, their action having
come under ray own immediate observation. The
22d, 4Sth and 2d Battalion fought with equal
vigor and courage, contributing, as they ever de.
their lull share to the laurels won by Wrights
Brigade. . ...
1 heard Gen. Ewell temark, the next day, tnat
it was the most desperate fighting he had seen
during this war; he praises tbe brigade bigmy.
Tho onemy outnumbered us at least ten to one.
