epublicans compel our people to be almost a unit. This is all the better for us. Still, we are in quite a bad way now, God knows! The passengers by the cars from Fredericksburg this morning report that Gen. Patrick (Federal) came over under a flag of truce, demanding the surrender of the town, which was refused by Gen. Lee, in compliance with the unanimous sentiments of the people. Gen. Patrick, it is stated, said if it were not surrendered by 9 A. M. to-day, it would be shelled. Mr. Dargan, M. C., writes to the President from Mobile that the inhabitants of that city are in an awful condition. Meal is selling for $3.50 per bushel, and wood at $15 per cord, and that the people are afraid to bring supplies, apprehending that the government agents will seize them. The President (thanks to him!) has ordered that interference with domestic trade must not be permitted. Mr. Seddon has taken his seat. He has, at least, a manly appearance-his predecessor was said to look like a

ispatches say the unburied dead of the enemy, lying in heaps near our fortifications, have produced such an intolerable stench that our men are burning barrels of tar without their works. But still all is indefinite. Yet, from the persistent assaults of the enemy it may be inferred that Grant is inspired with the conviction that it is necessary for him to capture Vicksburg immediately, and before Johnston collects an army in his rear. A few days may produce a decisive result. Hon. E. S. Dargan, Mobile, Ala., writes that it is indispensable for our government to stipulate for aid from Europe at the earliest moment practicable, even if we must agree to the gradual emancipation of the slaves. He says the enemy will soon overrun the Southwestern States and prevent communication with the East, and then these States (Eastern) cannot long resist the superior numbers of the invaders. Better (he thinks, I suppose) yield slavery, and even be under the protection of a foreign governm

s is said to be partly the work of the Southern Express Company, believed to be Yankees (a portion of them), which contracts to deliver freight, and bribes the railroads and monopolizes transportation. This is the company on whose application Judge Campbell, Assistant Secretary of War, granted so many exemptions and details! It takes a great number of able-bodied men from the army, and then, by a peculiar process, absolutely embarrasses, as Gen. Whiting says, the conduct of the war. Judge Dargan, of Alabama, writes that private blockaderun-ners are ruining the country-supplying the enemy with cotton, and bringing in liquors and useless gew-gaws. June 17 The city has been gladdened by the reception of this dispatch from Gen. Lee: June 15th, 1863. his Excellency, Jefferson Davis. God has again crowned the valor of our troops with success.

y would not return to their colors when fit for duty! Hon. Wm. L. Yancey is dead — of disease of the kidney. The Examiner, to-day, in praising him, made a bitter assault on the President, saying he was unfortunately and hastily inflicted on the Confederacy at Montgomery, and when fixed in position, banished from his presence the heart and brain of the South-denying all participation in the affairs of government to the great men who were the authors of secession, etc. July 31 Hon. E. S. Dargan, member of Congress, writes from Mobile that Mississippi is nearly subdued, and Alabama is almost exhausted. He says our recent disasters, and Lee's failure in Pennsylvania, have nearly ruined us, and the destruction must be complete unless France and England can be induced to interfere in our behalf. He never believed they would intervene unless we agreed to abolish slavery; and he would embrace even that alternative to obtain their aid. He says the people are fast losing all hope o

ident relating to some novel action performed or proposed, asking his instructions. The President returned it to-day indorsed, The Secretary's advice invited. How in the mischief can such non-committalists ever arrive at a conclusion? Hon. E. S. Dargan writes that if Pemberton be restored to command (as he understands this to be the government's purpose), our cause is ruined beyond redemption. I say so too. When he made up his mind to surrender, it is unpardonable that he did not destroyt nearly 20,000 men! But something else may be behind this demonstration; it may be the purpose of the enemy to strike in another direction, perhaps at Hanover Junction-where, fortunately, we have nearly a division awaiting them. The Hon. Mr. Dargan's letter, received at the department a few days ago, saying that the reinstatement of Gen. Pemberton in command would be the ruin of the cause, was referred by the Secretary to the President, with some strong remarks, to the effect that popular

War and Debts. --Chancellor E. S. Dargan gives the following opinion through the Mobile Tribune: During a state of war all commercial intercourse between the subjects of the nations at war is illegal. So strict is this rule, that the mere drawing of a bill of exchange on an alien enemy, or remitting him money even in payment of a debt, is prohibited by the law of nations. Either of these acts referred to is considered not only illegal but dangerous; hence they are prohibited. Our merchants may now owe debts on New York and other Northern cities which they wish to pay, but war new is recognized as existing between the Confederate States and the Northern Free States, and they cannot remit money without a violation of law.
