THE INTIHCKITKD DISPATCHES FROM president davis ano gen. cooper-thk 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. \ ery reapeetfoUv, Your obedient servant, 8.

I.' reference to affairs in tbe Southwest, the defence or R.cbmond, and the plan of raining an army tor the capture of Washington, m the event »( its being uncovered byGen. Hooker : . 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. NORTH CAROLINA. A co.rwp'tedeni of ths Raleigh Progress says : I was informed Ibis morning by a gentleman ot undoubted voracity, who same out from tbe lines on day nrioru yesterday—that the enemy are now engaged at Morehead City in fitting out a naval expedition, and it is behevad, and we have al most positive evidence that Wilmington is the point aimed at. raa Two blockade runners from Richmond were murdered by two others near the Maryland line a few days since. An exchange hails this as an in dication of better time-; when the smugglers go to killing each otner, we may hope the craft will become extinct 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. An English paper calls Noah Webster an er<- e/temter, because of his tremendous spMs. A Yankee is said to have made a fortune (ont °f c° ur3e >) by selling “ purely vegetable'* pills for the cure of fever and ague, and other ffisMßes.

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. THS CONFBDBHATKS ADVANCING ON LEXINGTON, KEN TUCKY. Cincinnati, July 28.. —A special dispatch to the Commercial, dated Lexington, Ky., says : The rebels this morning attacked onr force at Richmond, consisting oi u small detachment un der Col. Banders. Auer an hour’s severe fighting our troops were compelled to tali back to the Kentucky river, badly cut up. Tbe rebel force was estimated at two thousand five hundred, with six guns.” They are supposed to be the advance of Bragg’s army”. At the latest advices our troops had fallen back whom five miles of L-.-xingtou. Tbe enemy is closely teiiowing. Martial law has been proclaimed in Lexington, aua all übie-bodied citizens btween eighteen and forty-five have been ordered to for duty, li is ttiougat the city can be hel.l against the rebels. ... r• Rebel citizens ieport tkerebal force over 15,000 strong, moving m a northerly direcltop, via Crab Orchard Cincinnati. July 28, 1863.—The following in iji uiaticm was received ut headquarters last night: 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 tug him io escape. the disposal ot our forces iu Kentucky is such as will render it impossile for tarn to either ad vance much tai’iuer or to escape.

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* JyurnaLuf Cutntntrce. 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 ib tueir confidence is the officers now tn com mand.

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. Colonel Mulligan, who commanded the Yankee forces at the battle of Lexington, Missouri, was kil ed in one of Ahe assaults of the enemy upon our line at Jackson. Wm. F. Bass, an old citizen of Athcus, was found dead in his bed on Wednesday morning*, t is supposed he died of disease of the heart. 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.

Virginia Correspondence 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.
