July 4. Lieutennant-Colonel J. W. Ripley, head of the Ordnance Department, received the brevet of Brigadier-General in the United States Army. A well-merited honor. He is one of the oldest and most valuable officers of the army. He was abroad on leave at the commencement of the rebellion, but hastened home to offer his services. On being asked by a friend if he had returned to engage in the war, he replied: Yes, and to give my last drop of blood to defend my Government. He has disowned his nephew, Major Ripley, who took part in the attack on Fort Sumter. Captain (now Major) Doubleday of the First Artillery, recently promoted to be a Major in the Seventeenth foot, received his new commission.--Baltimore American, July 5. The Mozart Regiment, N. Y.

her resources. Her soil shall be protected. He calls upon Tennesseeans to exhaust every resource of the State before the foot of the invader shall pollute the soil of Tennessee.--Baltimore American, Nov. 16. The Charleston Mercury, of this date, contains the following:--In view of the especial malignity exhibited by the North toward the Palmetto State in general, and toward Charleston in particular, we are happy to announce that all our defences are now in perfect order, and that General Ripley is ready, if not anxious, to give the invaders a warm reception. Yesterday the families residing on Sullivan's Island received notice to remove. In the event of an attack they might have greatly embarrassed our forces. We also hear, on good authority, that a series of obstructions, of a somewhat unusual character, have been placed across the harbor entrance. We don't envy the occupants of any hostile vessel that, entangled in these obstructions, may be subjected to the cross-fire of

lies. The officers urged in vain the stigma that would rest upon them for refusing to go where their country most needed their services, and the reproach they would bring upon the State of South-Carolina, which had been foremost in the work of resistance. Their appeals were unavailing, and the malcontents returned to the Carolina depot. Some of the officers telegraphed to Adjt.-Gen. Gist for instructions, and that his reply was: Arrest them — they are deserters of the worst character. Gen. Ripley sent similar instructions. About thirty of the mutinists belonged to the command of Capt. Gregg, Graniteville. He was proceeding to execute the order of Gen. Gist, when many of his men and others that refused to go on in the morning, took the evening train which conveyed the Tenth regiment, Col. Manigault. We deem it proper to make this statement of the facts of this unfortunate affair, says the Constitutionalist, leaving the press and public sentiment of South-Carolina to assign the

Francis D. Lee, Engineer Corps, is empowered to impress any negro carpenters and other artisans, not now employed in government service, whether the same be slaves or not. Captain Lee will be furnished with such force as may be necessary to carry out the instructions. The National Intelligencer this morning contains an article, three columns in length, denouncing Gen. Hunter's proclamation, and asserting that the President will revoke it. Commodore Goldsborough with

December 5. Major-General R. C. Schenck relinquished the command of the Middle Department, and was succeeded by Brigadier-General Lockwood.--Stephen D. Lee, Major-General in the rebel service, sent the following report from his headquarters, at Holly Springs, Miss., to General Joseph E. Johnston: Chased enemy's cavalry, eight hundred strong, from Ripley into Pocahontas, on the first. The enemy concentrated at Pocahontas, and evacuated Salisbury on the second. Two miles of railroad destroyed at Salisbury. Forrest passed safely over.

o the movements of the enemy I give you the following as authentic: Civil war is certainly raging in Gilmer county; the Federal forces, united with Tories, are estimated at 600, while the loyal troops, composed of organized companies from Calhoun and Gilmer, are only put at 200. The enemy have given over administering oaths and releasing, in that section, and now imprison or force into the hostile army. On Friday night, company F, of the 17th Ohio regiment, numbering about 100, came to Ripley, about 40 miles from here, on the Parkersburg road, and remained some time, refreshing themselves and horses on the quiet citizens. Some Virginia officers who were there, recruiting, I presume, escaped by doffing the uniform. The enemy left it was said, for Ravenswood, a considerable distance further on towards Parkersburg. Whether they came from the force at Parkesburg or not, I did not learn. Doubtless you will soon see in the Northern papers a brilliant victory announced at Ripley.

Washington, July 2. --The President's message will be accompanied by reports from the Secretaries of War, Navy and Treasury Departments. Not one of them have yet been completed. There is no determination as to whether they will be printed and transmitted hence in advance of delivery to Congress, as under previous administrations — a measure which avoided many errors inseparable from hasty telegraphing. Lieut. Col. J. W. Ripley, chief of the Ordnance Bureau, has to-day received the brevet of Brigadier Colonel in the U. S. Army. The marine artillery of the first regiment, Rhode Island, left Washington by rail yesterday — destination unknown. The 14th regiment of Brooklyn broke camp to-day, and passed into Virginia. The 4th Michigan and the 11th Massachusetts regiments arrived here this morning. The latter, with their splendid and extensive equipments and eighty horses, occupied sixty-three cars.
