y to the Times article above quoted: The "little villain" (Raymond of the Times) has turned General. He marks out a noble campaign. It will be observed, however, that be studiously avoids anything more than generalities, as well he may, for within thirty days, we now tell him and his whole gang of ruffians there will be heard such a howl as was never dreamed of. The South cannot be run over with 75,000 men. Two hundred thousand cannot more than reach Richmond. But listen to what Forney, of the Philadelphia Press, said: No man of sense can for a moment doubt that this much-ado about nothing will end in a month. With such a man as Cameron in the War Department such another as Mr. Lincoln over the civil, and such Generals as we have, led by the "here of an hundred battles," we are simply invincible. The rebels.--a mere band of ragamuffins — will fly like chaff before the wind on our approach. The Western Yankees were as violent as the Northern or Eastern. As a s

A.--I can't recollect any denunciatory epithets applied to that order. If there was any criticism made upon it, it was mentioned above in the remark about the Constitution. Mr. Vallandigham discussed these matters very briefly. He took up most of his time on another point, in connection with the question of closing the war. He charged that the men in authority had it in their power, if they were willing, to make a peace. He exhausted some time in reading from Montgomery Blair and from Forney; and also stated that there were private proofs, yet to be developed, and which time would disclose, proving his statement. He bitterly denounced any attempt to make peace by a separation of the States. Q.--Do you remember to what, if at all, connection with future usurpation of power he applied his strongest language? A.--I can't say as to the strongest language, for he always speaks pretty strongly. He denounced any usurpation of power to stop public discussion and the suffrage

nfuriated vixens by taking refuge in a grocery near by, and the mob dispersed without committing further outrages. The Albany Argus has the following: Forney's Washington Chronicle, in referring to the approaching election in Maryland, says: "In truth, the loyalists of Baltimore will not permit doubtful men to appear apate that the coming election will show that in that State a number of avowed Republicans have been chosen to office"--Through the Chronicle and through the Press Forney is constantly throwing out instigations to violence and threats against the people.--There is reason to think that he speaks for the Administration, or rather for about an hour, when the rebels withdrew. The casualties have not been reported. Miscellaneous. The Washingtonian are getting very shaky in the knees. Forney, in contradicting a number of false rumors, says: Another rumor is that our pickets have been driven in at Falmouth. Ridiculous! To drive in our pickets th

rk and Adams counties offered every possible assistance to the rebels, pointing out to them the property of Union citizens and of the Government, and showing them the roads. Heavy and continuous artillery firing was heard yesterday afternoon, and last night, in the direction of Dover, eight miles northwest of York. The very latest from the battle field. The following dispatches are published by the World as "the very latest:" Philadelphia, July 3.--A special dispatch to Forney's Press, dated Hanover, 1 P. M., via Washington, July 3, says: "At 10 this morning our forces opened on about 5,000 rebels, who advanced on the field at day break for the purpose of pillaging our dead. The rebels hastily retreated. The fight thus far has been the most terrific of the war. The loss on both sides was heavy. Gen. Sickles was wounded severely. His right leg was amputated, and he is doing well. A desperate battle rages." Washington, July 3.--The information received he

thence to a private house. The surgeon in attendance had prescribed some medicine, with directions for administering it; but by an unfortunate mistake Capt. M. took the wrong vial, which proved to contain poison, and before medical aid could reach him he was beyond the reach of the surgeon's skill. I subjoin a few additional names of killed and wounded officers at Gettysburg; Col. Fry, 13th Ala, killed; Col. L. Pinckard, 14th Ala, badly wounded; Adj. J. E. Williamson, thigh broken; Col.

nant General, four Major Generals, and fourteen Brigadier Generals, as well as one hundred and fifty pieces of artillery, and 30,000 stand of arms.--This account is the most exaggerated one of the war. A Confederate officer, on the staff of one of the Generals included in the capitulation furnishes the following account of what really was captured: First, the entire force captured will not reach above 23,000, secondly, there were only three Major-Generals captured, viz: Major-Generals Smith, Forney, and Stephenson. The Brigadier Generals were as follows: Brigadier-Generals Hebert, Moore, Lee, Shoup, Vaughn, Bowen, Baldwin, Cummings, and Buford, making a total of nine Brigadiers, and not fourteen, as the Yankees state. The captured artillery will not exceed ninety pieces at the utmost, and of these ninety a great many are unfit for use. The number of small arms captured was large, for the reason that we had gained large numbers from the enemy during the siege. On the 22d of May, after

lothing. July 10.--Time has passed heavily since the surrender. We leave, however, to-morrow morning — the following being the prescribed route and "order of march:" From Vicksburg by the Jackson and Baldwin's Ferry roads, via Bovina, crossing Big Black by the wagon bridge, and thence to Raymond. Order of March.--In advance, division of Major-General Bowen, succeeding as follows, viz: Col. Higgins's brigade of heavy artillery, Col. Withers's regiment of light artillery, Major Gen. 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 Ferr

on this account to close up and get ready to march either in the ranks or out of the country. The weather during the past week has been intensely cold, and it has been with great difficulty that the men could keep comfortable. Blankets, overcoats, and shoes are still needed, and I am surprised that more and liberal donations are not received. I have alluded to this matter in my correspondence for the tenth and last time. If the people still refuse it is their fault, not mine. Col. Forney, of the 10th Alabama, now languishing in a Northern prison, has, I learn, been promoted to a Brigadier Generalship, and will receive command of Wilcox's old brigade as soon as he shall be returned to our lines. Gen. Wirt Adams has been assigned to the command of Posey's old brigade, thus knocking into "pi" all the expectations of the numerous candidates for promotion in that quarter.

ng to the left, and pursuing the route of the retiring forces of Gen. Polk. There had been no fighting of moment yet, the Yankees appearing desirous to avoid a fight, but Lee and Forrest were busy in the rear. They were marching rapidly, with their front and rear protected by their cavalry, and in Mr. Fleming's Judgment, would strike the Mobile and Ohio road in the vicinity of Shubuta, or perhaps Enterprise which point they might reach by this evening or to night. Gen. Polk, with Forney's and French's divisions, was west of Meridian, near the Chankey river, to dispute their progress in that quarter, while a large force is being rapidly transported down the road to meet any threatened movement in this direction. Some of the prisoners captured from the enemy have on their hats the profane motto, Mobile or Hell."
