When Sherman’s army stopped at Smith field, N. about fifteen months since, there was found with it a little girl, five or six years of age, of bright countenance and pleasant ways, evidedlly well-bred tlius far, who, the soldiers said, followed them from Mouth Carolina, Georgia or Tennes see. The corps to which this little girl seemed attached eamped near the house <tTa lady who had a little girl of nearly the same age, and the two little ones became so fondly attached, that the lady in duced Him soldiers to give the child to her, and she has been with her ever since. The child has dark eyes, and is quite pret ty. She had been so long with the army that she could give no intelligent account of her home. The lady who has posses sion of tliis little wanderer is very much attached to her, and treats her in every respect as her own daughter. Parties interested are referred to the “Baptist Minister,” Hmithfield, Johnston county, North Carolina. The papers of Month Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee are requested to copy this information. EQUAL RIGHTS CONVENTION. I{r\ant Denounced as a I.iar, Swindler, and Beggar. ’l'li<' Georgia Kquul Rights Association of ftsiedinen, of which J. K. Bryant is Pre sident, met in this city on Wednesday, and adjourned on Friday night, after a session of t hree days. Delegates from twenty-four counties were present. The object of the Convention appears to have bhon to organ ize a political party in the interest of the Freedmen and their equality under the law. A leading object appears also to have lieen to investigate the conduct of Bryant both as Editor of the Loyal Georgian and also as to the alleged swindling of freed men. After an e.r parte hearing, without summoning wit nesses against. Bryant, the investigating committee reported favorably to him, adding, however, a resolution con doming the attacks on Gen. Tillson, which luive appeared in tiie Georgian, and de manding t lint they- shall cease. Just before the Convention adjourned General Tillson, on Friday night, on in vilation, addressed the Convention in a longlhly speech, in which he gave utter ance to many sound and valuable sug gestions as to the policy the freedmen should pursue. 11l the course of his ad dress he denounced the conduct of Bryant as injurious to their race,and characterized him as a liar a scoundrel and a beggar He declared that Bryant is engaged in wringing money from the hard earnings of the poor freedmen under the pretence of being their friend, while his chief object is the promotion of his own interests. He expressed a contempt for any man who would prostitute himseli to ‘such shame less practices, and warned t hem to beware of him. Tho Convention passed a resolution thanking the General for Ills speech, and the information it contained. Bryant was present, as chairman of the meeting. Wo understand that before leaving the city a large number of the delegates expressed their opinion t hat Bryant is a rogue, and their determination to discountenance hint’ Gen Tillson deserves the thanks of all lovers of truth and honesty, and especially of the freedmen of Georgia, for tlius boldly stepping forward to expose the infamous character of Bryant, and prevent the ad vantage which the ex parte investigation might have afforded, to secure a con tinuance of tho subsidies lie is drawing from tiie pockets of his confiding dupes. Tlu- New Homestcail Law. Few of our rend th, we imagine, arc ful ly aware of tlu* nature of a measure recent ly adopted liy Congress, and approved by the President, called the “Southern Home stead Law.” It is hailed by tho Radicals as one bright spot in the dark record of enormities piapotoated by the President, that lie npprovodVhe bill. Under its pro visions, public lauds in the States of Ar kansas, Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi are withdrawn from the mar ket, and, until January 1,1667, will be open to loyal settlers only, after which they will lie free to all. Tho importance of this bounty to loyalty, may tie seen by refer ence to tin l following statement of the sur veyed public lands remaining unsold in the States named, in February last : In Arkansas, 9,298,015.70acre5. “ Alabama, 6,732,058.68 “ “ Florida, 19,379,635.61 “ “ Louisiana, 6,228,102.45 “ “ Mississippi, 4,760,736.03 “ Os this immense area, at least thirty mil lions of port's are saiil to Ih> arable land, and it is estimated by the friends of the bill that three hundred and seventy-live thou sand homesteads are thus tendered as a reward for what is called loyalty. For six months no erne who participated in therobel lion can get a foothold in this rich domain, which is tire common property of all the people, and it will therefore be a race be tween freedmen and Yankees, who shall gobble up the largest portion of the tempt ing prize. For our part, we do not hesi tate to say that our jMirtialitios are for tho freedmen. They were generally faithful during the war, and contributed material ly to our facilities for prosecuting the struggle, and to that extent ehallenge the preference indicated. Many of them are indisposed to cultivate the lands of their late masters, and dosin' to set up for them selves. This bill presents them a fair op portunity. and we are assured that the clause excluding rebels from these lands for six months was inserted, “on the assurance of the managers of the Freedmen's Bureau, that this .sprier of tone would he sufficient to accomplish the object of the hill —that is, to enable the negroes of the five States to enter land under it. (Jen. Howard is to send out special instructions to the agents of the bureau to take every pains to in form the colored people of the nature of the act, and to induce them Us select home steads on the lands conferred by it.” (AYe quote from high Radical authority.) AVe take this occasion to caution the freedmen against Ix'ing swindled by tliosg who will volunteer their good offices to se cure for them grants under the law refer red to. The occasion will tie seized upon by an army of cormorants of the AA’ild, French and Bryant school—who, in the guise of friendship for the freedmen will seek to till their filthy purses by securing these grants, or by purchasing them for a song after they are secured. The measure must be regarded as an enor mous out rage upon the white people of the South, and the richest field for corruption and fraud that has been offered since the sale of cotton and other Confederate property. While approving, as we have, the general spirit of justice manifested by the Presi dent toward the Southern States, we feel bound to condemn the policy which thus punisheg before they have l teen convicted of offence, white people of the South, de priving them of their just share of the pub lic domain. The Philadelphia Convention—Who are Entitled to Seats ? We take pleasure in transferring to our columns the following frank and manly at tic! e from the Constitutional Union, pub lished in Washington City, in relation to the requirements of representatives in the proposed Convention. This* article is in response to an inquiry from the Richmond Enquirer, which pajier opposed the Con vention because it thought the call excluded all those in the South who sympathized with, or aided the South, in the war. We hope that we shall hear tio more complaints at the South against the Con vention on account of the qualifications proposed for its representatives. Leery man in the South who Is not an enemy of the United States Government, and who, in good faith, intends to support and defend the Constitution of the Lnited States and the laws made in pursuance thereof, is in vited to fellowship in the new organization. [From tho Constitutional Union.] A Candid Response to an Earnest “En quirer.” Tiie Richmond Enquirer asks ns to In form it what tiie people of tiie Moutli are expected to do in reference to the National Union Convention of conservative and patriotic citizens, to be held in Philadelphia on tiie 14th of August; and whom they must send to represent them. We had supposed that the consistent and unswer ving course of this journal in upholding the rights of all the .States, and the invio lable sanctity of the constitutional pri vileges of all the tcAifocitizens of the thirty six United States was a sufficient ex ponent of what wo conceived to lie the duty of tiie South at the present crisis. But, as the Enquirer asks for information, wc give it as briefly and clearly as possi ble. Avast majority of the people of the so ceded States entered heart and soul in tho defence of their newly erected government against the efforts Os the United States to enforce obedience to the requirements of that Constitution, which applied to the Southern as well as Northern States. The result of the struggle was in favor of the < i institution of the United States. The Southern States had struggled manfully and with terrible earnestness in supportof their theory, hut the endoftho war demon strated the fallacy of their ideas, and the truth of our own. We had fought this war to remove all obstructions to the execution of the laws of otor common country, over that portion of our common country \vhich endeavored to break away. Wo, were successful, and as the result of our siuecess tlie Southern people remained our fellow countrymen, governed by tiie same con "stitutibnal laws tiiat we were. One of those constitutional laws —tiie validity of which was finally and forever decided by the war—was that every State is entitled to representation in the National Legisla ture, and to the right of managing her in ternal and domestic concerns just as she pleased, provided she did not interfere with tiie constitutional rights of any oilier State. Os course if tho people of tho Southern States are entitled to representation in Con gress they are entitled and we expect them to be represented in tho proposed National Convention of Eastern, Western, Northern and Southern patriotic Constitution-loving citizens. Os course it is not intended that any enemy of the country shall represent the Southern people either in Congress or in this proposed convention, and we do not suppose for a moment that any mail in the Southern States, if any there be,' who is an enemy to the Uni tod States Government, will so fiir forget his manhood or tiie pro verbial honor of the Southern people as to present himself where lie is not wanted and whore lie will certainly not lie allowed to enter. The question then is, whoarethoene inies of the United States Government ? We have always earnestly contended that tho past evils should be forgotten. Tho proposed Convention is called for the pur pose of digging the grave and formally burying tlu- corpse of sectionalism, come from what quarter it will. Wo consider the Southern people as much our country men as tho Northern, and we extend the hand of fellowship to the Virginian and South Carolinian as quickly and as earn estly as wo would to tho Pennsylvanian or tho Massachusetts man. The war hav ing ended, ends all doubt as to the per petuity of tho Union, and as for the Con stitution, neither North nor South threat ened its sanctity or proposed its invasion, iuntil Radical folly culminated into insani ty and attempted treason. ' We, therefore, earnestly conjure every Southern Stato to send representatives to this National Convention. We urge them to send their wisest, ablest, and most mod erate statesmen. Every white citizen of South, whether he fought in the Confeder ate ranks or not, if ho accepts tho results of tho war in good faith, and is willing to maintain the union and harmony of the entire country, with the rights of each in dividual and of each State guaranteed and fully protected under the Constitution of our fathers ; every such white citizen of the South is entitled to, and is expected to be, represented in this National Conven tion. Such is our understanding of the spirit which prompted the call for, and will preside over tiie deliberations of this Con vention. As an assembly which is to in clude every patriotic lover of his country from the St. Croix te the Gila, we endorse it. As a'convention eminently catholic in its tone, and strictly conservative in its temper, comprehending the i vhole country, and not merely a petty section of it, we most cordially approve of its call —and ap prove of it on no narrower or more limited grounds. We trust the Richmond Enquirer is sat isfied with our answer, and informed. Anil we sincerely hope that every journal in tHe South,and every citizen of the South, will meet us with the same kindly, frater nal, patriotic spirit in which wo have res ponded to the interrogatory of the Rich mond Enquirer —and with the united strength ol all the conservative patriots, from the whole country, Massachusetts, South Carolina, Now York, Ohio—North and South, East and West—wo earnestly hope (as we sincerely believe) that we will be able to restore tiie glorious old Union of our fathers to its former normal condi tion of happiness, harmony and pros perity. Protest of the New York Chanipcr of Com merce Against the Tariff Bill. The following remonstrance against the tariff bill now in Congress was offered to tho Chamber of Commerce of New York, at its meeting on Thursday by ex-Major Opdyke, and it was accepted and approved without a dissenting vote: To the Honorable the Senate ami House of Representatives of the United States, in Congress assembled : The Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York respectfully remonstrate against the passage of the bill now before the House of Represcntativas, entitled “A bill to provide increased revenues from im ports and for other purposes,” and ask leave to submit for the consideration of Congress the following objections thereto. In the first place the title of the bill is misleading, the inhanced duties it pro poses being in many eases so high that they must prove prohibitive. Its adoption could not fail to diminish rather than in crease the revenue from imports. The proposed enhancement of duties is chiefly, if not altogether, on imported articles which come directly in competition with similar domestic products, such, for in stance, as iron. wool, woollens, worsted, linens and cigars. These are all leading articles of our import trade, and no one familiar with that trade can doubt that the exorbitant duties which this bill pro poses to subject them would greatly dimin ish tlieir import and thereby lessen the revenue of the Government at a time when its gold liabilities are increasing, and it seems especially impolitic to do so coin cident with the abandoment of many of the existing sources of internal revenue. There is reason to apprehend that the joint ef fect of the two measures so reduce the reveuue of the Government as to leave the aggregate insufficient to meet its cur rent expenses and maturing interest, and tints waste the public Credit. But your remonstrants object to the measure on other and broader grounds.— They believe its adoption would prove in jurious to commerce by diverting it from its established channels, by lessening our foreign trade, and bv leaving our large mercantile niariue without adequate or profitable employment; it would mar the prosperity of agriculture by increasing the exist of its supplies without enhancing the prices of its products, Avhich are governed, as are those of all exportable commodities, by the foreign market value. It would in - jure mechanics by increasing the cost of living without enhancing wages : and, fi nally. through its exorbitant production, it would endanger the prominent prosperity of the manufacturing interest itself, which it Is specially intended to protect and fos ter. it proposes to increase that produc tion by adding from ten to fifty per cent, to the present high rates of thirty at the moment when the amended internal reve nue laws relieve that interest from a heavy excise tax. The joint effect of the two measures would be to confer on that inter est a rate of protection ranging from fifty to one hundred per cent.; and this pro tection will be absolute with the excise taxes annulled, and the premium on ex cliange and on the adverse effects of a de preciated currency. This degree of pro tection being at least twice as large as that interest has hitherto enjoyed under the revenue laws, we may expect to see it en gender a homo competition which will ul timately pfove fatal to its prosperity. We may also expect to see the people soon be come so restive under the unwarrantable boon conierred on a favored interest as to demand its repeal, and the substitute of a tariff strictlv grounded on the principle of revenue. This, combined with the ap peals of home competition, would he liable to involve the manufacturing interest of our country in general bankruptcy. For these reasons your remonstrants re spectfully ask that the bill may not become a law. JOTTINGS FROM THE CAPITAL. Triumph of the New Tariff in the House —A Sketch of the Leading Features of the Bill—The Coal Duty—A Crumb of Comfort to the South—The Case of Sick les ami tiie Habeas Corpus—The Presi dent vs. Stanton, «fcc. [from our own correspondent.] Washington, Tuesday Night, July 10. This has been a “field-day” in the House of Representatives. After a severe and protracted struggle, the advocates of the new Tariff Bill have succeeded in carrying that measure through, the House by a vote of ninety-five in favor of it, to fifty-two against it. This unexpectedly large ma jority for the bill was obtained mainly by the aid'of the votes of some of the mem-, bers from the Northwestern, sheep-raising States, whose good will in regard to the Tariff had been propitiated by the impo sition of a very heavy nrotectiwc duty upon wool and woolens. The readers of the Chronicle if Sentinel, who have, perhaps, had neither the opportunity nor the incli nation to watch the shifting current of legislation upon this topic, will doubtless be glad to have a brief summary of the LEADING FEATURES OF THE NRW TARIFF in the form in which it was finally passed by the House. The first and most notable change which it makes in the existing Tariff is the heavy increase ol' the duties upon all kinds of foreign wool and manu facturers of wool. The next change—and ( one which is designed to render the meas ure popular amongst the people at large— is the reduction of tho duties ou tea and coffee to one-half the existing rates. Un der the present tariff the duty on tea is twenty-five cents per pound. This, in the new bill, is cut down to twelve and a half cents per pound; while the present duty of five cents per pound on coffee is reduced to two and a half cents per pound. The duty on Railroad iron, about which there hud been a deal of wrangling, was finally fixed in the new bill at the rates prescribed by the present tariff, namely, seventy cents per one hundred pounds. The Pennsylva nia iron-folks tried desperately hard to have this duty increased to one dollar per one hundred pounds, and came within an ace of carrying their point. THE DUTY ON BITUMINOUS COAL, however, was the most closely contested point of the whole bill. To understand the interests involved in this question, it must be mentioned that, during the exist ence of the Reciprocity Treaty between the United States and Great Britain, trade between this country and the British Provinces was almost entirely free and un restricted. The vast number of manufac turing establishments New England, all of which are wiven by steam power, were enabled, as long as the treaty lasted, to procure the immense supplies of bituminous coal required for daily consump tion in their furnaces, from the coal-fields of Nova Scotia at a very low price, with only the trifling cost of transportation add ed thereto, there being no duties payable in tho case. • But, with the expiration of the Reciprocity Treaty in March last, the sud den increase in the cost of Nova Scotia coal, owing to the addition of the duty which immediately went into force, became a very serious item. To remove, or materially modify this duty became at once the aim of all the New Englanders in Congress. They, therefore, went to work and succeed ed in so far influencing the action of the Committee of Ways and Means as to in duce them to frame the coal-clause of the new Tariff, so as to impose a duty of one dollar and fifty cents per ton upon all bitu minous coal imported from beyond the At latic, leaving only a duty of fifty cents per ton on such coal when imported from the British Provinces. The House, however, urged by the remonstrances of tho Repre sentatives of tne Maryland and Pcunsyl- • vania coal districts, (who claimed in this connection a share of the protection so liberally afforded to the manufacturers of “Down East,” in other parts. of the bill) refused to sustain the discrimination made by the Committee in favor of Nova Scotia coal, and the bill was passed, with the bituminous coal duty fixed at the uniform rate of one dollar and fifty cents per ton. This action, if the bill should become a law, must have a most beneficial effect in the DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOUTHERN COAL INTEREST. The bituminous coal fields of Virginia and North Carolina are admitted to be the best and most extensive on this continent. This fact Avas becoming generally recog zed just preyious to the out break of the war ; and the coal interest of those States now needs only a little encouragement in starting, and some improvement in the existing facilities for transportation from the coal fields to the seaboard, to assume an importance of which the Southern peo ple, hitherto, have little dreamed. The necessary encouragement will be at* fordedby this bill, if it should become a law ; and we shall behold the novel spec tacle of Yankee vessels thronging to the shores of \ irginia and North Carolina in quest of the fuel that is to keep in motion the looms and the spindles of Lowell. Thus, from the selfish feat of the North upon the tit-fits of legislative and govern mental plunder, there falls, by accident, an occasional crumb of comfort to the un represented and misrepresented communi ties of the South. Beyond the items given abo\-e, 1 do. not know that there are any features in the new bill that would specially interest your readers, unless I except the duty on salt, which has been increased to thirty-six cents per one hundred pounds, in sacks, at to twenty-four cents per hundred.pounds, in bulk. The GENERAL TENDENCY OF THE PROPOSED TA RIFF, is to increase the duties imposed by the existing Tariff from one hundred to one hundred and fifty per cent. hen it is remembered that these duties are inva riably payable in gold, which, under the blundering financial .policy of Congress, will at least maintain its present premium of fifty per cent, it will be seen that prices of all imported articles are likely rather to' increase than to subside to the ante-bellum standard. There is a good deal of speculation and wonderment amongst the newspaper gen try here, in regard to the relations between THE GOVERNMENT AND GEN. SICKLES, growing of the recent contemptuous refu sal of tne latter to obey the writ of habeas corpus, issued in the case of Stowers and others, by the U. S. District Court at Charleston. I know positively that the I President decided two days ago to order Gen. Sickles to obey the writ and surren der the prisoners into the custody of the Court: yet we are surprised by the tele graphic announcement from Charleston that Sickles is sustained f/*e Secretary of ]\7ir. Certainly things have come to a ; pretty pass, if the avowed will of the Pres ident U to be overridden and nullified, at the pleasure of one of his subordinates. It is well known that such was the case too often during the administration of Presi dent Lincoln ; but it remains to be seen how far President Johnson will submit to the insolent dictation of the tyrant of the the War Department. Butternut. BY TELEGRAPE FROM WASHINGTON. Resignation of Denison, Postmaster Gen eral. Washington, July 12. —Postmaster- General Dennisen has resigned. He writes the President that the call of the Philadel phia Convention is antagonistic to the po licy of the party that nominated and elect ed President Lincoln, and of the Con vention over which he presided. Rumors are credited that other resigna tions are to follow. Further Cabinet Resignations—Fraudu. ulent issue of Railroad Stock— lmportant Order from Gen. Grant— Congressional. Washington, July 12. —It is rumored that Speed, Attorney General, has tender ed his resignation, aud that Harlan will do the same. It is alleged that there is a fraudulent issue of stock in the Washington and Alex andria railroad to the ainount ofthree hun dred thousand dollars. It was used in connection with tho defunct Merchants’ National Bank, and one New York firm advanced one hundred thousand dollars on said stock. General Grant has issued an order di recting all department, district, and post commanders in the States lately in rebel lion, to arrest ail persons who have been or may hereafter be charged with the com mission of crimes and offences against offi cers, agents, citizens and inhabitants of the United States, irrespective of color, in cases where the civil authorities have fail, ed, neglected, or are unable to arrest and bring such parties to trial, and to detain them in military confinement until such time as a proper judicial tribunal may be ready aud willing to try them. In the Senate to-day the tariff bill came from the House. Grimes moved to post pone its consideration until December, and after debate, the motion was agreed to — yeas, 23, nays 17. The Niagara ship canal bill was up, but was not disposed of. In tho House a motion to appoint a committee to investigate why the minority report of the reconstruction committee was not published with tho evidence taken by the majority report of the same com mittee, was laid on the table by a decided vote. Washington, July 13. —Raymond, of the New York Times emphatically denies the truth of the report as published, of his remarks in tho Republican caucus. A Democratic State Convention has been called in Rhode Island to .elect delegates to the Philadelphia National Convention. General Grant has ordered cavalry sent to Loudoun county, Virginia, where it is alleged that outrages have been committed upon the freedmen, and that the civil law has failed to punish the guilty, or protect the blacks. \ Two gentlemen from Missouri called on the President yesterday, and informed him of a deep-laid scheme on the part of the Radicals to carry the Missouri election by force of arms if necessary. Secret leagues were being organized, militia armed, and arms shipped to various portions of the State by Gpv. Fletcher for the purpose of influencing the election. The President assured the gentlemen that as it was his duty to protect all citizens in the enjoy ment of their rights as such, it would only be necessary in case of such outrages, for the citizens to apply to him. In the Senate Wi]sou offered a resolu tion calling on the President for informa tion tis to the shooting of twenty-three Fed eral soldiers at Kingston North Carolina, by the order of Gens. Hoke and Pickett, Confederates, in 1861. Johnson objected, and it goes over. A joint resolution, giving the right of way to the Union Pacific Railroad, through the military reservations, was passed. Mr. Williams entered a motion to recon sider the vote which defeated the bill to re-annex Alexandria county to the District of Columbia. Mr. Williams introduced a bill to admit Representatives from each of the Southern States, provided the State ratifies the Con stitutional amendment recently passed.— Ordered to lie printed. In the House, Mr. Morrill reported a bill, which is a partial review of the Tariff bill, imposing duties on cigars, cheroots, &c., of two dollars and a half per pound, and fifty per cent, ad valorem , also three cents A pound on cotton. The bill was laid °'the contested case of Fuller vs. Dawson was decided to-day, by the House sustain ing Dawson without division. Washington, July 14th.—The.

Ran dle, as Postmaster-General, was sent into the Senate. There are seventy-one thousand dollars in the Treasury vaults. The President accepted Dennison's re signation. The latter in his letter of the 11th, tendering his resignation says: “In thus withdrawing from your Cabi net it is proper to say that I do so cheer fully. because of the difference oi opinion between us in regard to .the proposed amendment to the Constitution, which I approve, and mo\ emeiit 101 the Philadelphia Convention, to wlncn lam opposed. My confidence in the pa triotism of the Lmon Republican party and tlm conviction that upon its permanent control of the government depend, in a. large measure, the peace and happiness of the covntrv, will not permit of my holding any equivocal attitude in r aspect to it As suring vou of my personal regard and ap preciation of the uniform courtesy I have received from you. I uni, Very respectfully, Yours. &c., • W.

July 12.—The Persia has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 30th and Ist, via Queenstown, The Hanoverian army has surrendered to the Prussians, and were allowed to re turn to their homes. A desperate battle was fought in Bohemia, near Nachad and Traulenau. Conflicting accounts have been received. _ - A Berlin dispatch claims that the Prus sians drove the Austrians on the 27th and 28th, capturing 8,000 prisoners, while the Vienna telegrams claim that the Austrians have captured 18 guns and many prisoners. In the fight of Tralenau the Austrians are said to have lost from 4,000 to 6,000 in killed and wounded. The Prussian loss was 1,000. There was great rejoicing at Berlin over the alleged Prussian victory, and the people presented an address to the King. Vienna dispatches, on the other hand, assert that Benedek prevented the junction of the army of Prince Frederick Charles with the army of Silesia, and was succesful in the engagements of the 27th and 28tli, killing and wounding a great number of the enemy. The London Times says it is difficult to decide the result, as the action was not de cisive. Indefinite reports have been received from the Italian army, which appears to have changed its plan of operations. Derby has been forced to form a Cabinet exclusively Tory. There is a threatened trouble among the London populace about the reform ques tion. Money Market—Further War News- Conflicting Reports. London; Saturday Evening.—Consols closed at 63|a72J.

On the other hand, the last Austrian telegram gives the following report: Pardulitz, June 29th. —Tho Prussians were completely defeated by the Austrians yesterday under Gublentz, leaving behind one-third of their army killed and wound ed. They withdrew to Prussian territory, towards Glatz. The Austrian, cavalry un der General Ebelheim, drove the Prus sians out of Jacin to Theruan, and com pelled them to evacuate Mohnik and Liepa, and retreat. The Prussian loss was enor mous. The Prussians here engaged were of the army of the Elbe. The Prussians on the Silesian frontiers were commanded by Crown Prince Frederick William. The Federal army was on the point of marching from Frankfort, and a battle was anticipa ted. A Cracow ' Austrian dispatch says the Prussians attacked Osweinten June 28, and were repulsed with heavy loss. The Austrians acknowledge that the Prussians have destroyed their railroads, and seriously interrupted communication witli different points. Progress of the Cholera.

REVIEW OF THE AIGISTA MARKET, FOR THE WEEK ENDING JULY 14TH, 1866. REMARKS—The weather, though ex cessively warm during the week, has been favorable for vegetation—though rain is again needed at j>resent—and agricultural interests in this part of the State present rather a more cheering aspect. Cotton,stiU small and unpromising, is growing rapidly, and with a favorable fall, may yet produce a half crop to the area planted. Corn looks well, and with favorable seasons promises a fair yield. The wheat crop has been lighter than was estimated, and very little is coming to the market—a pretty sure indication that there is little in the country to spare, as the price is high, and the necessity lor ready money very urgent. The season thus far has been most favor able for forage and all root crops, and there appears to be a general desire to save as much as possible. The reports of the wheat yield in the West are much more favorable than was expected, and have greatly relieved the appprehensiogs of a scarcity. The dull and drooping tone of provisions and breadstuff's in the leading markets is matter of some surprise, under the anticipated demand from Europe. The latest quotations in the Cincinnati market represent provisions quiet, but firm. Flour* and grain dull and declin ing. In New York they are dull and heavy, with a decline in flour. In New Orleans provisions were generally quietand steady, with a good supply of Hour and corn, but a small stock of bacon. Sugar and molasses were in limited supply with a fair demand. COTTON—We left the market, at the close of our last report, unsettled under foreign advices, and gave 28@31 cents as the extremes for the better grades. The advices by the Saxonia, though reporting an advance, were so ambiguous as to have little effect on the market. Middling Up lands were then quoted at told. The City of London with one day’s later news, brought the same quotation, and our mar ket has continued at a stand all the week, with only a moderate demand, and no general disposition to sell. We hear of no orders of any magnitude to be filled, and except under pressing circum stances, are disposed to await the develop ment of events, confident that prices will advance. The estimates of the growing crop still have a wide range; those that we have seen running from 800,000 bales up to 2,000,000. The former figure is evidently too low, unless we shall have an earlyfrost, and we see no reason, even under the brightening prospects to which wojiave referred, to believe that it can reach the latter. All estimates depend so much on the character of the fall, as to be the merest guess work. At the close of our report, at 12 o’clock to-day, there was but little offering, and quotations unchanged, as follows: Middling 28@29 Strict Middling 30@... Good Middling 31@... FINANCIAL.—The Gold market has been rather irregular during the week, though the fluctuations have not been wide, and we may quote Gold at 150 for buying rates and 151 @ 152 for selling, witha supply fully equal to the demand. Large sales of Gold were made at 151. Silver is in request at 140, and sells at 143@144, and Bank Bills and Securities are inactive at the following quotations: GEORGIA BANKS.
