Ueuteuanl Harry prepaiv- r outkm and awuitod orders
The men were in exnb , .. i spirits and anxious for the
fray At ten o'clock A. it . ha. lug receiyed orders from
Oenerai llagruder. Lieutenant Harry proceeded down tho
read a mile, when his further advance was obstructed
bf th - Yankee lortitkatious which crossed tlie track.
About two hours were consumed in reopening the track,
when the battery advanced steadily down the road.
About twelve o'clock, the battery being about seven
?lies fr?m Richmond, Lieutenant Barry came in sight
ar several tbeusand Yankeos moving at u double quick
down the road In front of him, in (ho direction of Sa
vage's. He was about to oiien into the Hying mans, when
he wan stop|ied by General Magruder, who suggested
tfcit they wero our own troops in pursuit of the enemy.
Just as the troops disappeared rouud the curve, one of
?>-e enemy's batteries, stationed m tlie wu du in frout of
lavage's house, opened u|>ori our torcus, who were in
the woods to the left of tbo railroad, and about seven
Miles from Richmond.
Th'- first g .u of the enemy killed General Griffith, of
Mississippi. Lieutenant Barry was ordered to engage
this battery, which he did with such etlect that the
second shell from his gun silenced it. He then con
tinned for some time to shell the woo.is near and around
Me spot from which tbo Yankee battery had retreated.
At lour o'clock ho was ordered to proceed down the rail
road abreus 01. ur skirmishers, and to tiro into anything
ad everything he saw ah.-ad As he turned the curve
and wite' ed Savttge's held ho taw, half a mile in advauoe
ef bun, a party of \ ankecs en/ .ged induing ll.etoa

a white flag wax raiatd on it, and Geuerul Cobn, corning
?V at tbe moment, ordered nun not te Ore into it again,
ae be had intorniation the tr.iiu was loaded with si k.
laired lately afterwards U nei al Magruder rode up, and
seeing the e.emy d awn up iu line ol battle in the held in
fmut or Savaire'e house.ordered Lieutenant Marry to go a
quarter of a mile nearer and open mto his ranks. On the
bursting ol the second shell the enemy fled in confusion
to tbfj^y^r or tut vr<"?is to tlie right of Site battery, aud
"this Joint poured on it and the engine a p- rlect
tell of rill.' bullets Kemper s battery now opening on the
eueiay from a position ia the rear of tbe battery, Lieu
tenant Barry was obiigod to withdraw in the directum
ef R.chmond. As be was receding up the railroad, h.s
battery drew the whole tire of the enomy,but fortunately,
tho gh the narrow a capes were innumerable, r.ot one
ei hk> men was str .ck. A Mini* ball passed within an
fc>ch oi the euglueer's bead and struck in the railroad

As Ibe battery drew back to Fair Oaks, tbe Third
South Carolina, supported by other regiments, dashed
aoroes the railroad, aud charging Into the woods In which
tbe eaemy had taken shutter from the rifle shells oi
Leiuteuant Barry, drove them in the direction of Sot
teat's Bridge with great slaughter. It was estimated by
Beaeial Magruder at the time that the loss of the eaemy
lb tht engagement was between eight hundred and a
thousand iu killed and wounded. How important a part
w .a played by the railroad battery iu this engagement
aaay be cuujectured by the statement of a prisoner who
was captured on the "ccasion. Ha Informed Lieutenant
Barry that the second shell thrown late tlie ranks drawn

The Caaal at Vt?k>bar|.
[From the I; chwond Knquirer, July 26.]
We learn by a gentleman from Vieksburg that tbe at
tempt of Lincoln's army of digger* to draw off the Mis
sissippi from VkckEburg, by cutting for it a new channel,
excites very little solicitude there. The taxk is one of
freat difficulty, and will require a long time to make it
successful, In all the ? nt< ri rises for straightening tho
river made by tbe citizens of tho lower Mississippi. it la
fnun< that, after cutting through a few feet or sand a blue
cl'iy is entered upon, which is bo exo-edingiy tough aw to
require blasting to remove it; and unless the new channel
is cat very deep, it is speedily c hoked and tilled up with
dirt, wood, sand, Ac Perhaps Lincoln's diners will be
as innocently occupied in digging in front of Vickaburg as
if they were at borne with their mammas.

General Pop*.
|Frnm the Ri<'ha"iid Enquirer, July 20.1
An officer of Hragg's army stated to us, when be he:ird
oT Pope's transfer to Virginia to command tbe Yankee
forces in ihe Piedmont ami Potomac regions, that bo was
a very bo'd and audacious commander, and would sur
prise us by unexpected enterprises. unless we were verv
vigilant. But he also said i hat his plans were not well
uouceived or judicious, and that be would expose himself
to heavy chastisement and dif aster if our opposing Gene
ral should be ou tbe alert.
Pope seems to be verifying the account thus given of
him. He has made a number of audacious demonstra
tions against our railroad to Gordonsvllle. His troops
have also displayed much activity, though, indeed, to but
littlo purpose, in the counties around Culpepper. Let
low our comman'iBrs show themselves skilful in avniling
if tho chances which their brother officer says Pope will
abundantly afford. He has oome into Virginia with the
'urious denunciation and impetuosity of a mailman. Let
iur cool and astute and energetic, leaders and their brave
roops catch him and put him in a straight jacket.
The Enemy's Movements Below,
[Krom tho Charleston Mercury, July 12.]
Thursday morning a report was brought to tho city that
i considerable force of the enemy had landed at or near
'ort Royal ferry, and were pushing inland towards tho
Charleston and Savinnah Railroad Our generals had
ibondant forces at band to check such an attempt, and
he enemy, at tat accounts, was roported to bave r<>
.raced his steps and recrossed the ferry.
Another account, received by telegraph last evening,
?epregents the Yankee reuiments to he encamped at
thodes' plaee, about one mile below Gardner's Corner,
uvl about Cve miles from Port Royal ferry.
The enemy is bclioved in be slowly quitting tbe islands

The Hopes and Fears of the Rebels. *
[From the Richmond Mspatch, July 28.]
It seems to be quite evident thnt tbe Yankee govern
nent, in spite of tho monster war meetings which it is
ns' iiraticg throughout the North, will not be able to re
?ruit its ranks by moans of volunteers. It is also evident
hat, in the event of failure, it will resort to a draft, and
.hat a draft is to the last degree distateful to tbe Nortli
srn |*eop!e. These facts having become very plain, are
:alculated to make an impression upon our people, which,
f indulged, may prove very prejudicial to our cause.
Already we obsorve that many persons aro flattering
.hem.jelveg that the retired number of troops (300.0001
?onnot be raised. This is a mistake which, if it should
?e made likewise by the government, may prove a very
lerious one.
Our prospects at present are bright and encouraging,
nicy can oniy become ove> east by our own folly or negll
jeiice. Yet, though wn exercise the utmost prudence
md foresight, thougu we neglect no opportunity and
'oregono advantage; though we pursue every success to
;ho utmost extent of the advantages which <;an bo ex
;rne.t?d from It; though our energy in the cabinet ho
worthy tho courage of our soldiors in the lleld, wc must
'till expect a protracted and arduous struggle?h struggle
?bat may drag on "or years, and that will terminate only
?r!:en our foe shall have wa*t"d ail his resources in his
"rai'tic eflhrts to subdue us, and shall have become ready
:o relinquish the contest solely because he is too exhaust
)d to continue it. It is pro our for us to loofc our situ*.
Ion fully tn the face. We must not flatter ourselves with
he delusion that our trials are nearly at an end. There
s not the slightest reason to fear that we shall ever be
uhjugated, but" the price of freedom is eternal vigi
auce."

Yesterday afternoon I enjoyed a ple.nsint visit to
Brig. Gen. Joseph Hooker, tbe hero of Williamsburg. I
found the veteran soldlor In excellent health and the best
of spirits. His command is in good condition, and anxious
to be led again into battle. It is a remarkable fact how
the gallant troops under General Hookor doat on their
leader. His great daring, coolnesa under Are and humane
treatment in camp have endeared him to the hearts of his
followers, and the fighting qualities of the General have
oarned for him tbe tobrUptd of "Fighting Joe." Last
evening there was quite an tmtult on hoard of the barge
used by the Adams Express Company among the contra
bands employed by the company. Mr. John Montgomery,
the agent, having left in the morning, placed Mr. rharles
Rankin in charge of the office, and at nieht the darkeys
enjoyed themselves by cuttiug up pranks and disturbing
the peace.
On being remonstrated with they became indignant
and threatening. Mr. Kankin went nmong them with a
drawn sabre, and had a number of them under control in
a very short time. The quarrelsome Africans were taken
in charge by the provost guard, and placed In tbe guard
house.

the institutions connected with this department.
Tlir vessel is named after tl.o Hon. John Tucker,
Ass is i an I Secretary of War,and is one ef the finest vessels
In the service. Her captain. A. L. Colmary, is an old,

of operations was decided uponw ill be consistent and insure
perfect co-operation between this army and the others in
the field. This has hitherto been wanting, and has been
one of the causes which havo prevented the realization of
all that was expected to be accomplished In this cam'
peign. With General Halleck to combine and direct the
movements of our forces and able generals to execute his
plans, the future of the war must be very different from
what it has been m the past. Thin, with the Immediate
Oiling up of the ranks of the regiments now in the Held
with new recruits. s<> as to give ua, in the shortest possi

troops, will Injure our succeirs id the fnture and a speedy
suppression of tbe rebellion. It Is tbe decided opinion
of every officer here wih whom I liave conversed
upon the sub ?ct that one raw recruit In an old regiment,
associated with experienced soldiers. i? worth more than
three organized into new regiments. M?> derives confl

Fve ything remains quiet in camp, and one might
easily imagine from itppearancea that the army had set

To Absent Odiccri and Private*.
Wasbinutom, Joly 31, 18*J.
The following order respecting officers an.1 pr>
vale* has Ju?t been issued ?
War Ohp4rtmsnt. Wjishinoto*, 0. C , July 31. 1R82.
The absence ef officers and i>rlvatoi from their duty
under varieus pretexts, while resetvine psy at great ?*
pen** and burthen to the covernment, makes it Bwnnary
that efficient measures be tnken to en farce their return to
duty,or that their places be supplied by those who will
not take pay while rendering no service. This evil, more
over, tends greatly to discourage the patriotic impulse ef
those who would contribute te support the families ef
faithful soldiers.
It is, therefore, ordered by the President:?
tint?1Th*t on Monday, the 11th day of Aug'ist, all
leaves of absence and furloughs by whomsoever given,
unless by the War Department, are revoked and ahso
1'iUly annulled , and all fleers capable of service are re
quired forthwith to join their regiments under a penalty
of dismissal from the service, or such penalty as a court
martial may aw ard, unless the absence bo occasioned by
lawful cause.
S'ccrul?The only excuse allowed for the absence of
officers or privates from duty after the 11th day of Au
gust are;?First, the order or leuve of tho War Depart
ment; second, disabilities from wounds received in ser
vice; third, disability from disease that renders the
party uuflt for military duty; but any efficcror private
whose health permits him to visit watering plane* or
places of amusemont, or to make social visits or walk
about the town,city er neighborhood in which he may
bo, will be considered fit for military dnty, and as evading
his duty by absence from his command or the ranks.
Third?On Monday, the 18th day of August, at ten
o'clock A. M., each regiment and corps shall be musterod
The absentees will be marked, three lists of the same
madeoot. and, within forty-eight hours of the muster,
one copy shall be sent to the Adjutant General of the ar
my and one to the commander of the corps; the third is
to be retained, and all th>) officers and privates Qt for
duty absent at that time will be regarded as absent with
out cause. Their pay wilt be stopped, and they will be
dismissed from the service or treated as deserters, unless
restored; and no officer shall be restored to his rank un
less, by the judgment of a court of inquiry, to be ap
proved by tho President, he shall establish his absence
was with sufficient cause.
fburlk?Commanders of corps, divisions, brigades, re
giments and detached posts are strictly enjoined to force
the muster and return aforesaid. Any officer failing in his
duty herein will bo deemed guilty of gross neglect o< duty,
ami be dismissed the service.
fifth?A commissioner shall be appointed by tlie Secre
tary of War to superintend tlie execution of this erder in
the respective States. Tho United states marshals in the
respective districts; the mayor and chief of police of
any town or city; the sheriffs of the respective coun
ties in each State, and all postmasters and justices
of tho peace, arc authorized to act as special provost mar.
shals, to arrest any officer or private soldier, fit for dnty,
who may be found absent from bis command without
just cause, and convey him to the noarest military post or
depot.
Tho transportation, reasonable expen*** or this duty
and Ave dollars will be ;<aid for cach officer or private so
, arrested and delivered.
