is to send from their homes all citizens who refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the United States Government, and thus leave their families helpless in the hands of a brutal and licentious soldiery. Its execution has already, it is believed been commenced in Fredericksburg, and six prominent citizens have been arrested. The appointment of Gen. Hallock as Commander-in-Chief of the land forces of the United States is officially announced. It will be observed that the order is dated July 11th. immediately after the return of Lincoln from his visit to McClellan. The "patriotic" 12 month's volunteers, under the proclamation of the Governor of Pennsylvania will not be received by the Federal authorities, for a less time than three years. So all that recruiting goes for nothing. Gen. T. F. Meagher is in New York to recruit his "noble little brigade." His demands will rather frighten the raw recruits. He only wants 505 men, to fill the 69th to its original strength of 800; only

The battles before Richmond. [From the London Times, July 11.] The "strategical motives" which have led a General to retire after an attack of the enemy from a position which he had occupied in order to make an assault upon his capital, are purely unintelligible. It is quite obvious that a retrograde movement on the part of a besieging army means an untenable position, a confession of weakness, a measure of safety. If the English army before Delhi had thrown then right beyond the Subsee Mundee, and then had reined across it after two hard fights against a tle of the Sepoys, so that their right was obliged to double back and cover itself behind the left on the Junma, even our affection, our hopes, and our fears, could not deceive us into the belief that the retrograde movement was made in consequence of any premeditated strategy, and that the attack was an expected result which must lead to the strengthening of the new position.

point by an active and energetic army, under skillful and experienced officers, who are determined to wring from his unwilling masters' the recognition of their rights as freemen. Fortifying. An exploration of the territory below Richmond recently occupied by the Yankees furnishes abundant evidence of their unsurpassed skill in digging. In fact, it was the boast of the Northern pagers, but a few short weeks ago, that the army of McClellan would dig its way to Richmond before the 11th of July; but an unexpected reverse has caused a hasty abandonment of that cherished project, and now we are told that they are fortifying and laying off parallels some miles further from the Capital, adjacent to James river. It is easy to imagine that plying the spade on such a sweltering day as yesterday is no child's play; and that such an occupation will steadily increase the enemy's morality list there can be no doubt. Grave digging on an extensive scale will be added to their other labors,

The Nova Scotia has arrived with Liverpool dates to the 22d ult. The Emllie St. Pierre affair has been settled. The correspondent of the Paris Constitutionnel regards the mediation of Europe, respecting the American war, merely a question of time. Public opinion, both in England and France, daily grows in favor of recognition and mediation. In the House of Commons, the motion of Mr. Lindsay respecting British relations with America, expressing the hope that the Confederacy would be recognized, since 'tis now clear that its independence will be achieved, had been postponed to the 11th of July. In the House of Lords, Mr. Hapward stated that he would on 1st July move a resolution that it was the duty of the British Government to use every exertion consistent with the maintenance of peace to end the American war.

From the Southwest. Grenada, July 11. --Memphis papers, of the 9th, state that Andy Johnson was daily expected in that city. The Union Appeal, of Memphis, (Grant's organ,) says that Butler has confiscated 3,000 slaves and put them to work upon the canal opposite Vicksburg. The New York Post fears that conscription or drafting will have to be resorted to if Lincoln's 3000,000 men are to be raised. Black Republican dispatches claim a victory in Tuesday's battle, and say that McClellan has since removed his headquarters five miles nearer Richmond. Our forces are represented by them as retiring to their old position. Gen. Chaimer's brigade of cavalry at Ripley, last Monday. attacked and dispersed the Yankees assembled at that point.

Forney's division, Major Gen. Smith's division, Major-Gen. Stevenson's division. The wagon trains to proceed in the rear of the brigades to which they respectively belong. July 11.--The greater portion of our army passed outside the Vicksburg lines this morning. The rolls of the several commands were called and absentees noted. The inspection of the baggage proved to be quite formal. The knapsacks were opened, but scarcely any of the wagons were overhauled. At the Baldwin's Ferry road servants who insisted on going out with their masters were permitted to do so. Not so at the Jackson road, none, I learn, being allowed to pass out at that point.

Running the blockade at Wilmington A semi official statement relative to running the blockade at Wilmington, N. C., shows that from January, 1863, to the 23d of October in the same year--ten months--ninety vessels ran into Wilmington. During last August one ran in every other day, making fifteen in that month. In one day, the 11th of July, four ran in, and on the 19th of October last five came safely through the blockaders. At Charleston, during the six months ending in July, 1863, forty-three steamers ran in safely. These facts have been made public in Europe, though it is not at all likely that they will open the eyes of those who are determined not to see.

I have taken the necessary measures in the proper quarters to ascertain the truth of the respective statements current here, that they are intended for the use of the Government of France or for the Pacha of Egypt, and have found both without foundation. At this moment neither of those Powers appears to have occasion to use conceatment or equivocation in regard to its intentions, had it any in obtaining such ships. In the notes which I have the honor to address to your lordship on the 11th of July and 14th of August, I believe I stated the importance attached by my Government to the decision involved in this case with sufficient distinctness. Since that date I have had the opportunity to receive from the United States a full approbation of its contents. At the same time I feel it my painful duty to make known to your lordship that, in some respects, it has fallen short in expressing the earnestness with which I have been in the interval, directed to describe the grave nature of
