Jackson, July 10.--General Van Dorn has issued a General Order No, 9, which places fifteen counties contiguous to Vicksburg and all of East Louisiana under martial law.

The bombardment of Hamilton, N. C. --The bombardment of the village of Hamilton, N. C., a defenceless village, was a most barbarous affair. The following telegram to the Raleigh Telegraph gives the fullest account we have seen: Weldon, July 10.--A courier has just arrived here, and states that seven or eight Yankee gunboats came up the Roanoke yesterday, and, without the slightest notice, opened a bombardment upon the town of Hamilton. The result of the grand attack was one infant killed on the part of the inhabitants. A portion of Capt. Whitakers cavalry was before them, resisted their landing, and succeeded in killing several. Yankees, with but two or three wounded amongst his men. The Yankees are now in possession of Hamilton — always an undefended place.

The coming Crisis in the North. [From the New York Herald's Money Article, July 10.] The excitement in the gold and exchange markets continues unabated. Gold opened this morning at 117½, fell to 116, 115½, and then began to rally. Between the boards it rose to 115½; at the second board it sold at 116, and closed at that bid. Bills on London opened at 129½, were then sold at 129, 128½, 128, and in the afternoon 128½. The advance in gold and bills has led to remarkable activity in merchane been advancing of late.

the life of this unnatural insurrection hangs on an expectation of our favor — let it die. To bring the Emperor to this conviction is your present urgent duty." On the 10th May he has a vision of a Yankee millennium "Lees than a year will witness the dissolution of all the armies; the ironclad navy will rest fully in our ports; taxes will immediately decrease; and new States will be coming laps the Confederacy, bringing rich contributions to the relief and comfort of mankind. On the 10th July he says:-- "The reduction of Vicksburg, the possession of Chattanooga, and the capture of Richmond would close the civil war with complete success. All these three enterprises are going forward. The two former aid, we think, be effected within the next ten days." And in September he actually bites his thumb at the Emperor: "We have not been misted," he says, "by any of the assemblance of impartiality or of neutrality, which unfriendly proceedings towards us in a perilous strife have put

Halleck, General in chief. The Confederate Sympathizers banished from St. Louis. The St. Louis Democrat, of August 1st, says: A letter from Capt. Jas. F. Dwight to Col. Broadhead, written at Vicksburg, July 22d, communicates some details of the transfer of the secesh exiles, who left St. Louis on the 10th of July, in custody of Captain Dwight. The boat in which they embarked reached Memphis without special incident, as reported by Capt. Dwight in a former letter. The party arrived at Vicksburg on the 22d of July, on the steamer Sunshine, where Capt. Dwight reported to Gen.

or ten of them are already in the city. They have large stocks of goods, and sell cheap for hard cash or greenbacks.

from Major Elliott, commanding Fort Sumter: Fort Sumter, Sept. 7--2.40 A. M. All the garrison of Morris Island who came here have been shipped. Lieut. Haskell's boat, from the Chicora, was captured by a Yankee barge. Two of the crew came to Fort Sumter and reported that all our troops had left the Island. Stephen Elliott, Major Commanding. Review of the struggle. Thus ends the defence of Morris Island.--The issue has been foreseen since the enemy's first success on the 10th of July. The defence of the Island has been prolonged far beyond what was deemed possible at first, and the brave garrisons who have held it deserve the admiration of their countrymen. The aggregate of casualties in the struggle for the Island have been on our side about 700 --killed, wounded, and missing. The enemy's loss is estimated at about 6,000.--The successful evacuation, after the glorious defence of 48 days, is, under all the circumstances, a most gratifying military event.

were buying and selling negroes.--During the examination nothing was elicited to show that he had any knowledge of the negroes; and but for the fact that Ellett had a bill of sale with his name on it, he could not have been held under the charge made against the other two. The Commonwealth established, by the evidence of several citizens of James City county, that the three negroes were born free, and that another negro, Washington Simpson, who was left at E. H. Stokes's jail on the 10th of July as the slave of Dr. Chas. M. Herbert, by Cotton and an unknown man, was also free. The witnesses also proved that there was no such man in James City as John Holt; that in Charles City there was a Justice of the Peace named John Holt; but that the bill of sale presented was not in his hand-writing. The Mayor, in order to secure the attendance of other witnesses, adjourned the investigation for one week, and admitted Dr. Boynton to bail in $3,000 for his appearance. Whatever

ainst Morris Island were appropriately closed by a severe contest with Fort Moultrie, Batteries Bee, Beauregard, &c., to relieve the Weehawken, which had grounded under their fire, and was finally got off with some severe injuries, owing to the falling tide having exposed the hull under the overhang. There were other occasions when severe conflicts occurred with the rebel works on Sullivan's Island. And besides the principal attacks in force there were few days from the first attack (July 10th) to its evacuation (September 7th ) that some Iron-clads or gunboats were not engaged in firing at the enemy's works, so as to facilitate the labor of our troops ashore, as will be perceived by the following sample from the record: Date --1863ObjectVess's engaged.
