ISUtPKnE?IC: DAY.
On till 8 dy recurs tlie ant.iverary of the
most -; r, event, wiiieh, up to the rres lit
year, tver occurred on tbe North American
cr;Btiner,t. On the fourth diy of July, 1776,
the CoatiiiBtalon2res8 ab3rived tbe colonies
from tb rata of England. Daring ttM mai'y

tima, the (lay bai been held in hich esteem,
ami sacre lly devoted to fuieome ruiopte, his'j
fcundinj; speeches, anJ sprea.-earfie oratory.
It haa been kept a a holiday by the patriot!?,
and he who annulled ila demands was look?;
i pon as a blapphetnrr.
Thia ia al well and proper. The day, be
cause of its memories, is the DoMest and best
of o-xT calendar. 0 ;r screi-tors fcuht throuih

They battle ' stains', the tyranny which srvnld
h'.re usurped their dearest ristllp, and the
tleelsratic" for which they foujh became to
them tb aijis of ai! they ci;id cia;m as free
men. The Sr.it a has a deep interest in the
rraemVrance and regard due this important
day On her consecrated grounds the greater
ri'imber cf -he battles of the rem Btiaa were
foi'gb, and no land en hsllow so devotedly
the remecbrenees of the generous and true
Learvd southro; s of '70.
The most p'eriov.s galaxy of stars during
the revolution, w-re southerners. Wo canr. t

AtMrieM IVfgna Chafa ; that Lie, Wythf,
F.t uiret, Cabioll, snd otb-r Hgwta, around
wr.om elns'er the proudest memories of
ch!ys1rjr and brroism, were the rr.n, who in
. tl.is day of their eount-y's pride, dared to
write the r.ames which fr-ed the land iron
despotiBD.
Thrtt the South trust continue to honor the
day ia evident. It la p-culiar'y a national
holiday, in which she has an interest, hallowed
by the triditions of its coble deid and the
thrillinr- legends of its t erries. I: is no New
En;!nd ineeiition; bai BO its memori s clus'er
about the day, even !oi:g before the old
federal iinion had a corporate existence.
It was baptized wi b fou hero biood, in the
infancy of the republic, and in the respect and
a Imitation we elye it we do but a duty whi-h
the palriot must acknowledge just, and only
the bigot will contemn.
The feer ihat has been ravaging th vitals
rf tlie rurap government since the taking of
an orordoee of saltpeter at Fjrt Sumter, is
y eldini to alternate doses of common ser.se
sad ii'cesiiy, and there are indication that
the s'ek man will eoen be c:.ivaiacing. In
tt.vidnal instances have not been rare. whie
the press haa dared to brave the tyrenny of
the despot, and :i8ert both the necessity and
the justice of a peace policy, ar.d these brisrt
par icla amid the mass of mbbish that now
mat s up the micIs-is cf the northern pres-,
slave been called together by the power of co
hesion which truth always p"sasees. O.i the
foorth rape of 'bis issue will be found the
preceedii gs of a conven ion of the n.irthern
Democratic editor", which gives indication
that there is a retnrning sen3e cf reason and
justice abroad in the B irtb.

THE OII11i;tKAT10?S OF E.TllMHE.
" westward he star al empire irassaa i's
wa." These viords were uttered by one cf E i
n.'land's noblest poets, when this western
continent was an infant among the nations of
eirlh. Europe bid just recovered from one of
tiose periodical shocks which m carclis are
diged to avert by terrific wars, an the em
p'oyineut in battle of their revolutionist ele
ments, and now In the new world of the Occi
dent their eyes wre turned for a solution of
the experiment whic1! a vigorous young peo
ple were making.
The elastic minds and mongrel mixture of
American population bad full scope to develop
the new idea. A eimnle form of government
was established, and all kingly ornament? were
cast aside. The utmost fretdom waa the boon
of its peop'e, and in the hri'l:ant future they
aought the b zkt cf superiority. Upward and
award was tae favorite err of its people, and
1 wealth and prosperity attended their efforts,
j Peace spread its sweetness over the land, and
I the peerless prize o." liberty was the palladium
of their sratsMp But with wealth came rrlde,
i and a cormorant crew of man-worshipers
tang t na the plea ure of honied words, which
masked revolution and destruction. They fat
tened on the luxuries gamed from the base
prostitution af genius .nd wraith to fhe inor-
' dinate vanity which became a peculiarity of
! osr national character. Turbutent theories,
I propagating the most outrageous sentimen's,
were accepted by tha exci'f We fanatics and v
' net agitstorsinthe Noitliern States. The bs
i tialized de6ri and the incendiary madmen or all
; nations, sought there an ssyluin from justice
and governments which w.-re most fortunate
in beir-g rid of ibeir presence. There they
vended their poison, and succeeded in making a
; universal hpiMl cf the land, in whoae re
i motest corners every disease of t;.e human
; mind had a representative.
Now cane the lust for power. The infant
I republic etretched its Briarean arms abroad
' and critched at the golden beauties that
dazzl'd Oefore its eyes. G uaonous for the
; sccumulation of wealth and domaiD.it grasped
the c -hweb fabric of misrule, and with BBSS
; arapled grred, in the isnoble pursuit of dis
; hoceat giin, dishonored '- : ime at bom ' and
abroad. By 'reachery a.:d miserable cunnirg
It sought to supplant all nations. By being
! first at tha feat it secured all the delicacies,
1 and ungenerously scorned the protests of its
i compears. In supreme contempt of all national
i rights, and with the daring of i'npuder.re, not
1 courage, it asjiMai a throne of naaaaaaad U and
governmental power, to which tbey required
absolute 'lumag-, and to whose tuU tUcy de
i inandcd the acquiesence of the world.
Foreign powers were suppo?-d to he in-be-I
eile and panic struck at the ex!' iblUoa cf psw
i er and would interpose no obntacles to
j t' e hanghty ambition cf the western empire
; Tf.e commercial and industrial misses reveled
I in the Uxuries their capital and ir.dus'ry as
I cured them. In the pride cf w.ralt ', power
and excess rf numbers they dictated to the
I sections on whom they were dependent. The
, very life element on which they s'ibsisted they
sneered at. Tbey co-itempliionsly demanu-o
obedwnre and tribute from the South, claiming
I it as a mere labeling or producing province
. over which the rich and powerful North was
! the law-maker. .
j Their sneers and contumely eventually
' pierced the honor of the heedless Sou'b. lis
swnny climate had made ils people listless and
j careless. Wi'bin its bordrrj there eou'd not
l be found the mongrel elements of discord which
i cura'd and sgi'ated the society of its icy north
ern brother, la its social life was seen n pic
ture of con'entmer.t and comfort which be-
1 cams to the infidels cf the North a political
' element, on whose basis tf.e revolutionists cre
! ated a question which inaugurated the disinte
gration of the federal empire. Conquest, pur
chase and commerce had exhausted every
political idea which couM make pirty; sumptu
' ary lews had four.d bu' few adfoeates, and
: those only among ascttice; hence, when r-d
I and black-republicanism struck a coxp-ict to
. agitate fbis oilier prcended questi n of moral
ity, and the bloody refugees cf a'! na;ions cast
' into the common fur.d their stock r f transren
j dentalism, it readily amalgamated with the
' maudlin sentimentalism wbicli deified a novel-
ist's enricature anil es ablished a vrcr.,-' arm
i in government which legislated to destrue'icn
and gloried in misrule.
Within the la it decade we fc ave seen the re
j s ilt of this gros misconception of power. A
j nation, once first in rank, among the most
powerful Rr.d g orious on eath, no.w dismem
berer1 ; isin:nia of power trampled upon
and the pres'ic of its greatness gone. On its
salient points of excellence and the traits cf
beau'y.the traditional men' s of our ances-
i try's wisdom, the taaJfc has built a temple
i whose simplicity will make it the pride of na-
tione nd within whose eacied fnn we will
I trrr.s'ire the virtues and nobility of true libera y.
j For the insane North wc can only see a
i wreck of dppair and blight. It has the elc-
meets of lecHpera'ion ; but its greatness is
! frttne. It baa proved its incapacity for eelf
, government ; it hrs too much infidel element
: in its agitating socialism. We presume i"; arffl
; find avenues for expansion, new lands to sup
i plv with their r. due ins ; a.id 'hat, erent
I ually, its elasticity will p'ac it ir aa amiable
j position of excelk-cc? ; bu' first it must suffer
i the r.-finirig jtoccsb of depletion. It must de-
afroy ifs .iiacordant elmen!s ; it must be re
j generated politically and socially.
The proportion of immense empire to which
: the Uni- d Sta(es hnd 1 1 fl t1 ed, necessarily en-
Rendered every vies 'the world can know; not
the leait of these was tyranny, and ibis drew
I the last wedge which upbeid the platform of
' our coble fabric.
All nations have the elements of tlwmaal
! zatiiii: within thmielvec, ?nd we sen HtaaataV
j ter ar.d fall when tyrants lave de hroned al'
' vejtigesof librrty and reason. Thus i' was
thitt the tyranny cf the Pharaohs lost to them
! their most valuable people Thus it was
: wtien Diovvsivs destroyed the greatness rf
' bis emjiire. ThU element d:3tn.eirted 'he
; gforirus fabric of R ime's greanes when Nebo
tyrannized to its fall. Thus K was when
' Napoiear trai:jcende.! the 1 cense of reason
t aiid in a i-ingle decado deposed hve monarchs,
; entiironed eight, and dictated terms to nations
: about whose venerated c-ipitols ivy of a tLou
: sand yearB cIub ered.
Thus it was when George III, in a seven
year?' fit of luaacy, endeavored to make the
beautiful vesti ,ents of liberty the cerements
with which to enwrap her in a tomb. It is in
obedience to a madness of tyranny, that the
new era of wax ir, upon cs. KaUaas vt must
disintegrate wl n tbey b'cotne loattitome and
effete, and to the empire of he west the day
of doom has come ; the eeepter of its iron
power is broken. The wi ling despot and tot I
of a Mschia-. ban jreraiVr, a peculating war
secretary, and a vaiu renegade war chieftain,
will descend to the tomb cf the accursed, his
epitaph :

MMCAJrf Fact. We learn from the Richmond
iomiiicr that thj agent of the French gov
ernment, now in Richmond, is about to buy
tobacco than, It is said he will commence in
the course of a few days. Independent of this
beirg good nws to the planters, there is a sig
nificance in this action cf this agent. It is
well known that tobacco is an article of mo
nopoly with the French government. The
question na urally arises, then, why would
that government authorize the purchase f to
bacco if the blockade is to be recognised and
continued? Would France eurchase that
which sbe eatMOt receive? If this be tM:e, as
itaiel, it is very encouraging to Virginia
plan'ersand a disagreeabb hint to the Lin

THEEoTTa Hoax Ihe New York IVi&unc
thus confesses that it became the victim of a
hoax in the publication of a letter that pro
fessed to be from the Hon. John Minor Botts,
and contained statements that were "impor
tant if true :"
From a general acquaintance with the hand
writing of Mr. Botts, we were convinced that
the le'ter signed with his name which we re
ceived from Washington on Tuesday last, and
published in our columns yesterday, was really
his, and in bat belief we laid it before our
resde s. We are now bound to a'ate, bow
ever, that on comparing the hand-writing with
nad uhied specimena of that of Mr. Botts, as
i we were yesterday enatled to do, we are led
to believe that the letter is a forg ry. At Ihe
same lime, we yesterday caused inquiries to
be made for Mr. But s in Washington, and he
could not he discovered. We conclude that
he is not thre, and has not be -n there.

I We are indebted to an estimable gentleman
of the press in this ci"y for a copy of the
, Washing'on .Vaional R'publican, of Friday
j evening last. It confirms the statements of
the Frrderiikiburg papers, ar.d suppose' thst
a nu'nber ot lue rebels were Killed ana
wounded.
The steamer Pawnee arrived at the Navy
Y-ird this morning, brin;g tbe body of Capt.
: Ward, of the steamer Freeb.rn, who was
killed in an ac ion at Mathias' Point about
i duak yest-Tday afternoon.
Aa near as we cin learn, the particulars are
as fotavwa :
C ipt Ward, on Wednesday nigkt, sent to
: Cap . Ro.van of the P.-.wnee, for two biat'a
crevs, which were sent down under Lieuten
ant Chapman, in order to take pisiession of
l the point, and erect a battery. Early yester
day mnrnin? a landing was effected, and the
I pickets of the enemy were dfiven back. The
number of Btan laodad waa betw 'en thirty and
; forty. Capt. Ward in the meantime prouiming
' to c iver the men with his nuns.
About this tin, ,a "contraband" slave be
longing to Dr. Hooe, a natad s cessionist, made
his arpenrance (rith a shirt on a pole, as a flag
: of true-, ahd cta'ed o 'h- men that there was
I a rebel force i f fiom S00 to 1,000 men in the
v:cinily; hut his stars; was not believed, and
I the men proceeded witti filling their sand-lugs
i for tha battery.
Wh le he men were at work at the battery,
j the s gnal was given for the boats to return
1 from the Pawnee, a -id simultaneously the ene-
! einy op'-ned n fire of muskrtrv frm the bushes,
; and the men re'reited to their boats, the fire
being meanwhile kept up. fhe gunner on the
Freeborn was wounded in the hip by I ball,
and Capt. Ward immediately sprang in his

Capt. Ward was brave to a fault. He knew

Cjrrnpoiiuen of the New 'rlean PHta
Richmond, Va., June 2o.
Ttie disposition of the Confederate Govern
ment to officer its army, as far as possible,
with men of military education or long milita
ry experience, cannot hut be well known, sine
it bas been clearly enough manifested. What
some, perhaps, might eoMidcr an extreme il
lus ration of this disposition has just occurred
in the appointment of Bishop j'olk, of Lou
isiana, as snnjor-geQeral in the provisional
army of the Confederate Sta'es. But thia is not
so violr-nt a transition in life and function as
would at first view appear. The bishop was
a soldier before be was an ercles-astic, hav
ing been a cadet at West Pern', where he
graduated in the same class, if I mistake not,
wi h President Uivis and several rf the gen
era's bow serving the Confederate Govern
ment. Though for thirty year3 disconnected
from military stuJy and vocation, and cniraged
in spiftttaal offices, b i ecclcsiastieal robes
could not concesl him from ihe segrcning eve
of the piesidrnt, at wbos special instance it
was that he came to R chmond several weeks
ago. Th object of soliciting his presence at
Rict-mond is i.ow uade knnw.i in the appoint
ment before mentioned. The Bishop for some
time hesitated to accept it. He plesded Ihat,
though once an ard-n' military sudent, he was
" rus'y " in the technical! ies and details of
war. H wia answered that, like smimming,
military knowledge and soldierly babits, ac
quired in the impressiMe period of youth,
were never whollv forgottrn, and could al
ways be readily recovered. Then tbere was
the ecclesiastical difficulty in the wsv, to
whieh it was urged th t, originally a soldier
from the South, he had only been lent lo 'lie
chare, and that his country had a riirht to
claim him back in the present emergency anil
enjoy the benefit of his military services un'il
the day of darvjer was past, rhe time it was
argued, wss ex-eptional, and would iustjfv il-.i.
exceptional instance of a bitffi ecclesiastic,
possessing mili'ary qtj llifhations, devnMng
them, for the special occasion, to the service
of his country.
I thus niemly glance at the reasoning which
prevailed spaa the bishop t0 8,.Pp; the
appointment of majx general; and I feel sure
that the reasoning will be indorsed aa conclu
sive and the appointment as sa1 isfactory by
sensible and liberal citizens everywhere in 'ba
S-ulh. It is proper to f.ay that the bishori does
not give up his ecclesiastical office. L ire the
loa'y parson who, being compel'ed to fight a
bu"y, took off his bla k coat and whi e cravat
and placed them on a stump, w tfi the remark :
"Lay there, Methodist, while I chastise this
insolent scoundrel," and when the nh-.le-ome
job was finistie.!, pu" them n a?aiu and yer.t

and all thai is dear to the southern people, jg
dulv chastised and d;sabled from harm.
The command to which Generai Polk is as
signed, (I must now call him by his military
title,) is one of great importance to the people
of the lower Mississippi Valley.
It embraces the river cointi'es of Arkansas
and Mississippi, laewdlBC C-rinth and the ad
jacent country, and that portion of North Ala
bima to the Tennessee river at Decatur; the
riv-er parishes of Louisiana nor'h of the Red
river, and that part of Tennessee west aM
south of the Tennessee rirer. I understand
thst his department is like"y to be geographi
cally extended, so as to embrace Wes ern Ar
kansas, and touch tba borders of the Indian
Territory an t of Southwes'ern HlaajOU' i. All
the troopg within the limits of tbe department
designated will be under his control, and the
brigadier genera's and such ma jnr-gnerls as
may ba commanding within 'he same limits,
will be suhj-ct to his orders. His headquarters
will be at Memphis, or at any o'her point
which he may hereafter select within the de
partment. It is the purpose of General P.dk on faking
command to address himself immediately to the
procuring of inks for tba use of bis department.
He proposes to establish a central ordnance
depot, from wui?h ante will be sent to scour
the country for ihe purchase of private arms.
In Tennessee and Mississippi, there are foun
dris and workshop! in which he designs to
have old muake'S and rfles converted Into
ininnie guns, and bayonets, swords and knives
manufactured. He has al eady a park of artil
lery for his department. Gen PoIk bas a fine
organizing head; he feels confident in his plan.

Faibfax CotraT House, June 24.
The road from Richmond to Manassas is by
way of Gordonsville and Culpepper. At the
former place i intersects with the road from
Lyehburg. The railroads of Virginia are ad
rairahly constructed for the throwing of troops
in hrge numbers in any required direction.
Th" con en' ion has provided for having all the
railroads terminating at Richmond connected
bv continuous railing through the streets of
that city, so that soon al' the heavy trains of
troops and munitions of war may pass through
tha- place from any q ar cr without tranship
ment or delay.
The truth is, that all Virginia il now on a
formidable footing of war. It ia next to im
possible, if it were proper for any but tbe
highest military authority, to give an adeq late
ida of 'he strength, movements or locations
of i's immerse armaments. Tie ramp at Ma
nassas, i I self, js bewildering to the visitor in
its magnitude. Tiie whole country around is
a continuous camp. Fortifications bri6ile up
in every direction. It commands the railrosd
connections and approaches from the east ar.d
west, andean relieve Harper's Firry or any
other point of the valley of Virginia west of
ihe Bme mountains, as well as the. approa.h
to Richmond from any poinl on the east of
them.
Gen. Besuregard'a headquarters are at a
handsnme cottage house at 'he Manatsis rail
road station. It is scarcely neceRaiy to de
scribe him lo yo ir rea -era as he is a Louiian
ian ai d known to many of them. His slight
ness of figure an I unpretpntiousness of appear
ance are remarked by all h-s visitors, of which
he has, I think, too many; but Ihe determina
tion and decision of character marked upon
his countenance, his evident close atieniion lo
his military duties, and bis thoughtful and un
communicative, though affable manner, have
made him the lion among the military men of
the day. It is certain that he hi? Una confi
dence oT the Virginians above any oth r com
mander; and to this the prestige of his milita
ry history, joined to his other q-iilitles, gives
him a goo-I title.
Everybody here, as well aa wi h you, I pre
sume, wir.hes to know what next is to happen;
It is as difficult to radge here as it would he at
any other point. Certain it is, that our pickets
are wiihin four miles of those of tbe enemy's
camp at Alexandria; hut wheih -r ine next
move is to come from them or from us is only
known to those that know if ft should come
from the enemy, there can be little doubt they
will meet with disasters not thought of in their
programme. I consider Alexandria and Ar
lington Hightfl practically aa invested. The
Lincoln men, it is true, since their rout st the
Vienna s'atiop, have come back and made
fe-raya or fugitive assau'ts in thit region, and
captured and taKen off slaves from its OBof
feding inhabitant" an act which Ins excited
great indignation. But tbe ostentatious move
ments of the Lincoln army are now dwindling
down to the 'proportions of a fizzle. They are
gradually hemmed in and restricted by im
mense frres of soutben troops, with well
planned military works and masked batteries
skillfully located at advantageous points; the
litter ar in such numbers and locations as to
make any advance of ihe enemy extremely baz

gaining a lead thifcg on them, as much so as
he did at Fort Sumter.

The Prownsville correspondent of the Gal
rsston Jfasa. in his letter of June 11, writes :
While at P;iin' Isabel I had the pleasure of
meeting Gn. Ijnacio Couionfort, the ex
president of the Mexican republic, and his two
beai.tiful and accomplished daughters, who,
after traveling with him for two or ibree years
through E irope, have decided to take up thrir
residence in this city. Gen. Comonfort is a
sentleman of Ei glish extraction, although a
Mexican born, and he warmly sympathises
with the South. His part', in Mexico seem to
be gaining strength erety day, and as he be
lieves thst that unfortunate republic cannot be
ruled but by a central government, and that
the present power will not be a permanent
one, be haa, in my opinion, determined to make
his residence among us, perhaps with the ob
ject of waiting for the "turning of the tide,"
to take a band in the affairs of his unfortunate
country.
I yesterday had the pleasure ofJJvisiting
fort Brown in company with Capt. Moore, of
the Confederate States army. The fort is, at
present, impregnable, and the work done un
der Col. Ford's command during the six weeks
h' l.as been engaged in it, is rally astonishing.
.Ca;.t Moore, who is a graduate of West Point,
and an excellent officer, was agreeably sur
prisd with the improvements made by Col.
Ford, and ttie fine progress of bis troopa in
drill and discipline.
Col. Ford is rry popular in this region, an !
has many friend on the Mexican side of the
R o Grande. I understand that his personal
imluenco frith 'he authorities and psapie of
Marainoras bas 'tad a good deal to do in
maki g a fr'end and ally of the neighboring
State of Tainaulipas. The election BeM re
cently in that State has been in favor of Saaof
Serna, who is satd to be a good friend of the
South and an admirer of her institutions.
Col. Ford received, the day before yesterday,
a comm'inica'ton from a Mexican cffi.ial, in
forming him tha' there had feen disturbances
on the river above this. He immediately or
dered Capt. Littleton to take a detachment of
men and make reconnoissancc in the vicinity
of Edinburgh acd the settlements above it. It
is believed here that the aarty mentioned is
commanded by Theodoris Tainora, the second
in command to Cortina. He was, about
twelve days since, at the Moga R-mcho. forty
rive or fiLy miles above Matamnras, and on
the mam road to Cannrgo, and had about
fory mfD.
The marauder, Cortinas, is said to have one
hundred thousand dohar- furnished him by an
agnt of Lincoln. The political chief of Mat
ainoras has received an official communication
from Reynosa, confirming the above, and stit
i..g tiit Cortinas was on the Rio Grande,
above Edinburgh, endeavoring to enlist men,
buy horses, saddles, etc. All concur in saying
that Cortinas is on this side of the Rio (Jrande.
Fortunately, Col. for 1 is acting in concert
wi'h Gen. Gmdalupe Garcia, of the S ate of
Tamau! pas, sin! as their troops aie scataexed
from Fort Mcintosh ihiwn to this point, it will
not be Improbable if we will, before long, bear
of the capture of the Mexican bandit.

In hot or cold weather, wi h the hope tha
mothers and sisters would avail themselves o
tlie satisfiction of making and forwarding to
their sons and brothers in the southern army.
I now take 'be liber y to suggest another
matter, the propriety and importance of which
is apparent in more ways than one. There
are but few plantations m tbe South but what
have old broken and useless eastings such as
p-ts, cat plows, broken and useless cast ma
chinery, old nxes, andirons, (fire dogs,) smooth
ing irons, (flat irons.) and useless scraps of
iron about iheir blacksmith shops. I suggest
liiat all be collected, boxed and forwar led,
free of charge, to Memphis, to be caBt into
Lincoln pills, from six-pounders to thirty-two
pounders, and when one farmer has but few,
that several fanners mix their repec tve lots
at some designated farm to be boxed and for
warded. There is enough of 'bis old and otherwise
useless metal la the Southern Confederacy to
cast hundred of tuns of cannon balls I would
fun her stigg at that the military board of each
city take the matter in hand, give information
through the press to whom the castings be con
signed, and -onfer with the presidents of the
rail r jads terminating at Memphis, and et
them to transport tbe old castings to Memrfhis
free of frejfht charge. lama stockholder in
one of thesi roads, and am in favor of free
transpoitat:on cf officers, soldier, army pro-vi-ion,
n ar implements and the materiata of
which they are composed. I have collected all
the old castings on my farm, and design for
warding tbem to Memphis as soon as I can
ascertain the designated consignee, and intend

of near $200,000, and no "sigh "for the money..;
If the payments would con eaiong, it is possi- :
ble Ihat near h-lf of ihe three months' men
would coin for the war, but even that is not
probable. The three mot ths will be up inside

at'd so were th oilier 'roops so far as I haf I
bsd 'lie means cf ascertaining. The Inquirer
concedes that the Di mocr-itg number, in tbe
troops already gone, at least seventy per cent.
There is a reaction c mroeocinir here in fivor
of peace. Win ther it will amount to anything,
heaven only knows, but I sincerely trust that
it will.

Tbe Washington correspondent of the New
York Herald, speaking cf tbe Southern arm -anil
Gen. Sco-t'e movements, gays .
They have plenty of artillery, aad we are at
last uiecovering that they know t ow to use it.
The talent of Beauregard and Magruder is
developing in Fa; f .x coanty, along the Poto
mac and at Vorktown.
Ycu know all about operations at the latter
point, but you may not hive heard that covert
batteries are quietly forcing at evrv bend
and s'rait of the river between Mount Vernon
and Hampsread point, and it ia not impossible
that their opening and the closing of our water
approach to Washington may be coincident.
To day we also learn that these favorite
masked batt-rtes have been p'a .ted on tbe
turnpike to Faiifax ar.d aga n on the railrosd
to Vienna, and it is Bupp-aeu that they crouch
ia Haa ts.tcs.sas of aim .st every thoroughfare
leading over to the enemy's lines.
The Texas rangers arei confident, from their
own inve-tigatioti, and from the boldness with
which the secession p oke s approich our
camps, that an effort is continually practiced
to induce squads of the fe.leral soldiery to pur
sue them until led ino these rr-ihuscaiieg.
In throwing our rops to Fall's church and
je. .r::ig ten miles of the L'f ton and Hamp
si.iie r-ilroa !, Gen. Scott makes the first ad
vance toward the occupa'ion of Fairf x Court
House. Those .who supposed be would march
-i c itasaa fifteen milas fr-m t e river base la
one mo.-ement failed of their reckoning.
And yet he aaoat have the court house; sine,
in the first place, the thirty miles of hostile
territory between our Arling'ton line and Man
assas J.incti-.n afford the ge ceastaatata too
much rotim for their rnerillaadvai ces,retreas
and am'-nscadeg. The two armies muat be
more nearly face to face to insure a square and
open waifare.

Mis.i3--ippi City, June 30 Lincoln war
steamer ami esjfraf at anchor inside of S-lipand
Cat Island, eight milaa from mainland; a 9
o'clock a. at. three long row boats, we!! filled,
were ecouti g ab0 i ; at 10 a at a small boat
with nine ro -n left the steamship, heading for
shore; at 12 o'clock were only a,bou one mile
from shore, firing wi h muskets at a sailboat,
wthin one hundred yards of H-'rrison'g wharf;
at 2 o'cl ck it had ri turned to th
when i and three other large boa's, well filled i
wna men. in 'ow or cutter, started for shore
in direction of Baroe's wbaif, wind snd tide
b-ing eiroi gly against them ; thev returned to
the war steamer by 4 r. at ; at 5 o'clock t e
steamship was keeping a clo-e vrn ch of the
shore. This report can be relied upon, being
founded up in the observation of G. C. Taylor,
with the powerful glass on the ijoast.
G. W. TtGAnDix.
A Bunch or STaGCLtns a highly mixed
up sort of caaard left the city yes-er iay for
Baltimore. Tb-y were rb gstreaked acd
speckled like Laban' goats, go'ien up in ev
ery variety of sty le. They comprised a lot of
strsggleig from at least a dozn different regi
men's from varintis parts of the country, who
in New York had gal as ray. Ho tbey were
ever tot together is more thsn we can find out.
The Cundec people describe them ss the hr.rd
est cases ever drummed together. They rep
resented ever de cibable style of uniform
from that of the Zouave to tbe plsinsgt of
L'reys. Some of them appeared to have been
upon a prolonged frolic, and carried heads so
swelled dust if ihe Baltimore railroad were it
any part tunnelled they could'nt possibly pass
It. About every other man in the sarty waa
tipsy, while som. si them, having in tulged in
a fiirht on the cars, were new limentit r over
closed oo'ics and flattened proboBC-s. Phila

Tan Crops In cJJ9ueu,.e v( the super
abundant yield of the wt,et crop, this staple
hss fa'lrn nearly fifty per cent, in value, and
it is thought that the piice will not exce
seventy five or eighty cents per bushel. Har
vesting in this sction is progr-ssing rapidly,
aad we presume v ill close fhis week. The
quality of grain Is very superior.
Tiie cat and corn crops sre exceedingly
promising indeed we have rarely Rren so nro
p tious snd productive a season. Providence
evidently smiles at Lincoln's intention o'
'arving us out. Fredtricktbnrg Recorder of
