Movements of Grant in Mississippi. '
The Meridian Clarion, of Sunday morning
last, gives some information as to the move
ments of Grant, derived from a gentleman
who, the editor says, seemed to possess accu
rate information. "A column of the enemy,
strength unknown, was within three or four,
miles of Canton on Thursday evening. The '
object may be to destroy that place and forage
on the country down to Jackson, destroying
the railroad as they go. for the purpose of
flanking Johnston. Jackson is twenty-four
miles distant from Canton, and the road is a
good one at this season of the year. But the
most plausible supposition is" that they will
cross Pearl river at a point twelve miles north
by a littla east of Jackson, where there is an
excellent ford, push on to Brandon, and thus
get in the rear of Johnston.— Lynchburg Vir

Important from Europe.
Richmond, July 19.—A special correspon
dent of the Whig from Runker Hill, near
Winchester, gives a summary of the news
contained in the Baltimore American of the
16th, it has mostly been anticipated. The
only thing new is the following, but it is not
stated whether brought by a later arrival or
not. Roebuck stated that Nepoleon had au
thorized him to say to the House of Gommons,
that he had instructed Baron Gross to propose
negotiations to England for mediation.
i The London Herald says it is reported that
Sari Russll had resigned in consequence of a
disagreement with the Premier on the ques
tion of recognition of the South.
Yankee cavalry advanced from Williams
port on the 18ih, within 4 miles of Martins
burg. !•'"'■'.'.*

The Richmond Examiner says. General D.

his destination was- changed and he was sent

The Enemy Repulsed with Great Slaughter—•■
Beauregard again Victorious.
Charleston, July 19.
To Gen. S.Cooper:
The Ironsides, five Monitors, five Gun and
Mortar Boats, and two land batteries of five
guns, fired furiously all day on battery Wag

carriage disabled.
G. T. BEAUREGARD.
[2nd dispatch.]
July 19th, 3:45 A. M.—After a furious
bombardment of eleven hours the enemy as
saulted battery Wagner desperately and re
peatedly, beginning at dark. Our people
fought worthily and repulsed the attack with
great slaughter—a number of prisoners were
captured—our loss slight, including, htAvever,
valuable lives. Gen. Taliaferro commanded
on nur side. Pickets were well in advance.
God again with us.
G. T. BEAUREGARD.
STILL LATER FROM CHARLESTON.
Charleston, July 19.—The bombardment
of battery Wagner yesterday was terrific
five Monitor*, the Ironsides, seven wooden
gunboats and two Yankee land batteries were
.concentrated for 11 hours; at last the enemy
numbering 10 Regiments, made a determined
assault on our works, and after a desperate
struggle, lasting until 11 o'clock, were repuls
ed with heavy loss. Our loss is about 100
killed and wounded, the enemy's estimated at
1,500. We captured over 200 prisoners, in
cluding some troops engaged in the assault.
All quiet to day, burying the dead.

From the North—The Late Riot.
"Richmond, July 18.—The Tribune of the
15th is very severe on the Herald and World.
It charges that their counsels excited the riot
in that city. The Herald does- not contain
one word of comment on the outbreak in that
city, except the preface to a description of the
scenes. Greely made a very narrow escape
the first day—the crowd were informed that
he was dining at Winhurst's Hotel, and pro
ceeded to that place, but Greely was, however,
apprised of their approach and escaped in a
hack—several men supposed to be reporters
for the Tribune were seriously handled and
one killed.
I After making due allowances for the sensa
tional character of reports m New York pa
pers, it is evident that it was one of the most
formidable outbreaks ever known on this con
tinent, and will encourage similar demonstra
tions in other Northern cities.

Later from Sew York.
More of the Riot—Third day Continued with
Increased Fury.
Petersburg, July 20th.
The Herald of the 16th -says the riot con
tinued all Wednesday without abatement.—
The draft is positively suspended. Several
dreadful conflicts between the military and
people have occurred. Terrible fighting in
I9th street. Military completely routed.—
Col. Jardine wounded, a Captain and Lieu
tenant of the sth N. Y. killed. Great slaugh
ter of soldiers and people, forty dead bodies
in one place. Negroes greatly persecuted,
and three hurig. Gov't street completely sack
ed. Great flight of negroes. The Council ap
propriated two and a half millions for Con
scripts. Two buildings in the 21st ward were
sacked. Severe fighting at 7th avenue hos
pital, and heavy loss of life.
Disturbances exist in Boston, -New York,
Yorkville, Brooklyn, Jamaica and other places,
fait not so serious as at New York. Lincoln

Conscription.
The late proclamation of the President,
in relation to conscripts, refers only to those
persons between the ages of 18 and 45 years
and to conscripts between the ages of eigh
teen and forty, who have not been here
tofore exempted, either in consequence of
physical disability or other causes. All per
sons who have been examined by a military
board, or have been exempted by the enroll
ing officers of the several districts, are not
called upon to report-themselvos.
From Richmond.
Richmond, • July 19.—Nothing important
has. transpired to-day. The chief topic is
the arrest of Mrs. Allen, wife of Patterson
Allen, on the change of communicating in
formation to the enemy. The accused is a
native of Ohio, and became connected in
Europe with one of the most respectable fami
lies in Richmond. Letters written by her [
and forwarded by blockade runners constitute
the evidence of her guilt;
An officer from the Valley this evening,

The following is an extract frsm a private
letter, written by Gen* Stuart, to a citizen of
Lynchburg, dated near Hagerstown, on the

its reputation, and done better and harder
fighting than ever, Since the war. We got
the better of the fight at Gettysburg, but re
tired, because the position we took could not
be held. We have now a fresh supply of am

OBITUABIES.
Departed this ljjfe on the 4th inst., at her
home in Scott county, Va.. Miss Catharine
Kane, after a painful and protracted illness of
several months, which she bore With christian
like fortitude till she fell asleep in the arms of
Jesus. She was a pious member of the M.
Episcopal Church, and was much concerned
during her illness, with regard to her soul's sal
vation and her future existence. Her whole
soul, mind and strength were deeply engaged
for several months before her death, in fervent
prayer to God and singing and praising hie
name. But a very few moments before she
breathed her laet, she attempted to sing a
hymn, and died shouting and praising the Lord
—exhorting her two brothers and neighbors who
stood by her dying bed to serve the Lord and
meet her in Heaven, where parting, sickness,
sorrow and death are seen nor felt no more.
Thus has passed away from our midst an af
fectionate sister, a worthy and kind neighbor,
aad a true christian. May God in his wisdom
and mercy give strength and comfort to her
much distressed and afflicted brothers in their
desolate and lonely condition in this trying
hour of distress, and may each of them obey her
solemn and dying request to "serve the Lord
and meet her in Heaven." C. W.
Died, at Saltville, Smyth county, Va., on the
24th of July, 1862, of diptheria, Albert P., in
sant son of James M. and Ellen H. Webb, aged'
2 years, 4 months and 8 days.
Albert, the darling of his mother's heart, was
more than ordinarily sprightly, intelligent and
promising for his age, and endured a prolonged
illness of a month with uncommon patience.
"We see around us, day by day,
Some sweet and cherish'd flower decay;
The fairest rose that scents the morn,
Oft withers in its early dawn.
But unlike them when children die,
They bloom again beyond the sky;
Bloom in those loveljJbowers of bliss
Where shines the Sun of Righteousness.—
Dear parents of the darling boy
Who bloom'd your light, your pride, your joy,
Whose perfect form, and angel grace,
Whose laughing eye, and sunny face,
Made him the favorite of your love,
But who how lives in realms above,
0! dry your tears! Though sad to part
With the loved idol of your heart,
Still, weep not—in a little while
You'll meet again your Albert's smile.
Twas God who gave this precious boon,
'Twas He who took him back so soon.
In meek submission then exclaim—
"Ho gave, He took, bless'd be His name."

BY THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA I
A PROCLAMATION
THE frequent and destructive raids of the
enemy render it necessary that the reserves i
of onr population, capable of military service, I
should be employed for local defence, and for!
repelling, with deserved punishment, those en-j
gaged in such invasions. )
' For this purpose I have received a requisition
from the President of the Confederate States for
eight thousand men, to be furnished from this
State for service therein, for six months from
the first day of August next. lam informed, at
the same time, by the' Secretary of War, that
the Congress has passed an act authorizing the
President to accept the services of volunteers,
to serve for such time as he may prescribe, for
the defence of exposed localities, or such special
service as he may deem expedient; that the Pre
sident prefers to accept such volunteers in lieu
of the militia, and that any number of men ren
dered under that law will be deducted from the
requisition for the militia;
But it being impossible for tee to ascertain, at
this time, what number will choose to organize
themselves under the act of Congress referred to,
I feel it to be my duty to aid tke President, as
far as the power of the Executive extends, to
provide for thejpecessary home defence'; and for
that purpose I do hereby proclaim, that the mi
litia of this Commonwealth, between the ages of
40 and 45 years, nsw liable to militia duty,
shall forthwith be organized and hold themselves
ready for duty by the first day of August next.
To this end. all commandants of regiments of
the militia of the line within the Commonwealth,
will- cause thair respective commands to be im
mediately summoned, appointing time and place
of meeting for the purpose of electing company
and field officers for making out mental districts,
consolidating companies when below the mini
mum strength, perfecting their organization as
far as "practicable, and making a full report of
the strength and condition of their commands
as soon as possible to the Adjutant General. It
becomes each private to prepare himself for a
six months tour of duty, and to be prompt in hit
preparations. It is incumbent upon the officers
to perform the preliminary duties, necessary to
effect this organization with and zeal.
Additional orders will be issued by the first day
of August, appointing the places of rendezvous
and designating the officers for mustering them
into service.
If the voluntary organization referred to be
accepted, it will diminish the number of the mi
litia called for, and those who adopt it will have
the privilege of remaining at home in the pursuit
of their ordinary avocations, unless when called
on for a temporary emergency to perform for a
more limited time active duty.
It is necessary that the people of the Conv
roonwealth, who have heretofore cheerfully
borne all the discomforts and privations incident
to an invaded territory, and to tae heartlessness
of an unscrupulous and worse than savage foe
should exert themselves still further to protect
their property and their homes with their che
rished inmates. T doubt not they will be found
now, as heretofore, equal to the emergency.—
They will prove to our enemies that the gulf
that severed us has widened and become impas
sable, and that the breach cannot be re-united
and Will demonstrate to the world that we are
imitating and endeavoring to excel our fathers
in detestation of tyranny and tyrants in our de
termination to be independent and free.
