ong the Washington telegraphic despatches of this morning is the following:-- Why the forward movement is Delayed, Army officers declare that it is impossible to make a decided forward movement until more wagons have arrived. By the 15th of July the builders have contracted to furnish 1,000, and it is claimed that to march with a less number is simply out of the question. Seventy-seven days have elapsed since the nation sprang to arms at its chieftain's call, and yet those immorta the farmers Of any Union State. And if you need ten thousand, Sound, strong, though second-hand, You'll find upon the instant A supply for your demand. chorus β€” No! wait for the wagons, The new army wagons, The fat contract wagons, Till the 15th of July. III. No swindling, fat contractors, Shall block the people's way, Nor rebel compromisers: 'Tis Treason's reckoning day. Then shout again our war-cry, β€œTo Richmond onward move! We now can crush tile traitors, And that we mean to prove!” ch<

tilla in the Mississippi: The scattered and weakened condition of my forces renders it impossible for me at the present moment to detach any, to co-operate with you on Vicksburg. Probably I shall be able to do so as soon as I can get my troops more concentrated. This may delay the clearing of the river, but its accomplishment will be certain in a few weeks. Allow me to congratulate you on your great successes. H. W. Halleck, Major-General. War Records, Vol. XV., p. 517. On the 15th of July Halleck sent the following communication to the Secretary of War in answer to his letter:-- Corinth, Miss., July 15, 1862, 10.40 A. M. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: I cannot at present give Commodore Farragut any aid against Vicksburg. I am sending reinforcements to General Curtis in Arkansas, and to General Buell in Tennessee and Kentucky. H. W. Halleck, Major-General. War Records, Vol. XV., p. 519. Now let us look a moment at the position of Beauregard's army, the

to drive Lee's army in retreat to the defences of Richmond. I took possession of this camp to be intrenched by a march wholly of my planning and execution, by moving more than thirty thousand men, with their artillery supplies and munitions of war, by water seventy-five miles through the enemy's country in a single day without the loss of a man, and without any knowledge on the part of the rebels of my presence until I was in camp. From that intrenched camp at Bermuda Hundred, on the 15th of July, I captured Petersburg, but lost it through the sloth or incompetency of a corps commander who had a technical military education. With the Army of the James on the 29th of September, I captured Fort Harrison and a line of intrenched works, a strong part of the defences of Richmond, which were held by my colored troops until Richmond was evacuated. I planned, carried out, and constructed the great strategic work, Dutch Gap Canal, which was prevented from being made entirely efficien

expected battle, but a good many of the men were not so anxious. In the Second Wisconsin, also, was developed a personal difficulty. The actual colonel was Dr. Coon, a good-hearted gentleman, who knew no more of the military art than a child; whereas his lieutenant-colonel, Peck, had been to West Point, and knew the drill. Preferring that the latter should remain in command of the regiment, I put Colonel Coon on my personal staff, which reconciled the difficulty. In due season, about July 15th, our division moved forward, leaving our camps standing; Keyes's brigade in the lead, then Schenck's, then mine, and Richardson's last. We marched via Vienna, Germantown, and Centreville, where all the army, composed of five divisions, seemed to converge. The march demonstrated little save the general laxity of discipline; for with all my personal efforts I could not prevent the men from straggling for water, blackberries, or any thing on the way they fancied. At Centreville, on the 1

Doc. 87.-rebel raid into Lebanon, Ky., July 11-12, 1862. A correspondent of the Louisville Journal gives the following account of this affair: Lebanon, Ky., July 15. Now that things are somewhat quiet in and near Lebanon, I have concluded to give you a fair and impartial history of events that have transpired since the coming and going of the farfamed Acting Brig.-Gen. J. H. Morgan, C. S. A. On Friday, the eleventh, it was reported here about noon, that Gen. Morgan had attacked and routed the Federal forces in Southern Kentucky, and that he was making his way to Lexington through Lebanon. Shortly after a despatch of this character was received, it was currently and correctly reported that the General, with a large force, was about twenty miles south-west of Le banon, near the little village of Pinch 'em, and that he would take Lebanon on that (Friday) night. Lieut.-Colonel A. Y. Johnston, in command at this place, immediately sent runners to the Home Guards to ho

Doc. 148.-capture of Hamilton, N. C. Newbern, N. C., July 15. An engagement of no little importance took place on the morning of the ninth instant, on Roanoke River, some sixty miles from its mouth, between three of our gunboats, the Commodore Perry, Ceres, and Shawsheen, and a company of Hawkins's Zouaves, under Capt. Hammell, on our side, and a regiment of rebel cavalry, supported by a strong force of infantry and artillery, and a rebel fort which commanded the river. The particulars are as follows : On the eighth instant Capt. Flusser, of the Commodore Perry, who is commanding officer of the naval forces in Albemarle Sound, decided to make a reconnoissance up the Roanoke as far as Hamilton, where he understood a rebel steamer was anchored, and also that the enemy were erecting a fortification and collecting a large force, with the intention of resisting all approaches to Weldon by the river. After taking on board Captain Hammell's company of Zouaves, which are stat

er Porter. United States gunboat Essex, off Baton Rouge, August 1, 1862. To the Honorable Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy: sir: Permit me to draw your attention to some facts relating to this ship running the blockade at Vicksburgh. These facts will relate principally to the manner in which she is plated; but in their detail it will be necessary to enter into a statement of all the circumstances connected with my running the blockade. At six A. M. on the morning of the fifteenth of July we heard heavy firing up the Yazoo, and as I had the evening previously taken on board two deserters from Vicksburgh, who had stated that the Arkansas ram was ready to come down the river, (they were sent on board the flag-ship Benton,) I suspected this vessel was making her way down, and I prepared for action. I beg to state that on my passage from Cairo to Vicksburgh, my port boiler had burst one of the bottom sheets, and we were repairing it at the time herein mentioned. At eight

I regret the loss of these men to the vessel and to their country. They fought well. Very respectfully, (Signed) J. N. Brown, Commander C. S. N. To Brig.-Gen. M. L. Smith, Commanding at Vicksburgh. A true copy: J. F. Girault, Assistant Adjutant-General. General Van Dorn's despatch. Vicksburgh, July 15. The sloop-of-war Arkansas, under cover of our batteries, ran gloriously through twelve or thirteen of the enemy's rams, gunboats, and sloops-of-war. Our loss was ten men killed and fifteen wounded. Captain Brown, her commander and hero, was slightly wounded in the head. The smoke-stack of the Arkansas was riddled. Otherwise she is not materially damaged, and can soon be repaired. Two of the enemy's boats struck their colors, and the boats ran ashore to keep from sinking. Many wer

, one hundred and forty-five wounded, and five missing--in all one hundred and sixty-four. Under cover of the night the enemy withdrew, and our force was too feeble to make a vigorous pursuit. Another skirmish took place at Hartsville, on the eleventh, in which our loss was seven killed and sixty-four wounded. We captured twenty-seven prisoners. The season was now so far advanced, and the roads so impassable, that further operations could not be carried on by either party. On the fifteenth of July, Major-General Blunt crossed Arkansas River, near Honey Springs, Indian Territory, and on the sixteenth attacked a superior force of rebels, under General Cooper, which he completely routed, the enemy leaving their killed and wounded on the field. Our loss was seventeen killed and sixty wounded, while that of the enemy was a hundred and fifty killed, (buried by our men,) four hundred wounded, and seventy-seven prisoners taken, besides one piece of artillery, two hundred stand of arms,

Charleston, S. C. July 15.--On Wednesday last the pickets of the Eutaw Battalion entered Legare's, the enemy having β€” to use their own expressive term--skedaddled the day previous. The first feature meeting the eyes of the advancing confederates was a number of mock sentinels stationed at intervals along the road. The dummies were neatly manufactured out of old clothes, and, with the addition of damaged gun-stocks, looked quite the martial Yankee. They were doubtless posted on the road w them. They are redolent with magnificent Federal victories, in every one of which there are accounts of splendid bayonet-charges upon the rebels. The Boston Herald of June second announces the capture of Vicksburgh and Little Rock, and the flight of the Governor of Arkansas into Mississippi. A graphic picture in Frank Leslie's represents Beauregard watering his horse in hell. It was engraved after one of the numerous Federal reports of the death of our hero.--Charleston Courier, July 15.
