The Yankees advancing The Yankees yesterday were at Tunstall's Station in considerable force, mostly cavalry. Their infantry was no doubt advancing in the fear ready to support them. Their force is variously estimated at from 10 to 25,000 men Opinions are much divided as to the object of this expedition. Some suppose the design is actually to attack the city; but to us, that seems preposterous. Others think with more appearance of probability, that it is intended merely to keep up an excitement and draw off men from Lee's army. It appears to us that we have force sufficient not only to defeat, but to capture the whole of their army, should it venture near enough.
Our army in Pennsylvania. The New York Herald, of the 26th inst, has been received in this city, and from it we learn that our advance was, at the latest dates, six miles beyond Carlisle, in the direction of Harrisburg. Now as Carlisle is eighteen miles from Harrisburg, our forces must be within twelve miles of that city, We may well imagine the terror of the Yankees, when we recollect how horror-stricken they The panic, indeed, so far from subsiding appears to be gathering strength with every day that our troops remain on the soil. Gen Lee has issued strict orders to "respect private property." We were greatly disappointed at this in the first instance, for we had hoped that the Yankees would be made to feel a portion, at least of the injuries they have wantonly inflicted on us. Nevertheless, we can imagine a very good apology for such an order. It is no doubt the object of the General to make war support war — that is to support his army in the enemy's country.--Should

We were greatly disappointed at this in the first instance, for we had hoped that the Yankees would be mad to the discipline of an army as a habit of plundering. They soon to think of nothing else, become demoralized, and fall an easy prey to their enemies Doubtless Gen Lee had this fact, attested by all history, in view when he issued the order in question. He cannot afford to let the discipline of his army be relaxed, especially at this time, when he has a powerful army of the enemy to fight and that too in that enemy's own country. As for Gen Lee's intended movements, we are an unable to conjecture what they are as the New York Herald itself or even the Times, or in fact any other Northern journal that has tried its hand at prophesying.

py man that received it.--The Yankees are generally very reticent in such matters, and much more prone to underrate then exaggerate the losses on their side and the of their enemy. If we have extorted the truth (and such a truth) from them at last they must have been awfully punished indeed. We should say they were scarcely a degree this side of annihilation. Vicksburg at my rate, still holds out — the wonder and the example of the whole Confederacy. That she will ever be reduced by Grant we cannot find it in our hearts to believe it is true his mines are advancing, but the garrison is countermining, and the chances are at least even that the engineer will be "hoist with his own petard" before he reaches the rampart he designs to blow into the air. Should he even make a breach by means of his mines, yet many a breach has been kept, and many an assailant repulsed, before to-day by a brave and devoted garrison such as that which defends Vicksburg. There will be desperate fight
Imperturbable indeed! The letter writers which follow Hooker's army are constantly covering him over with their fulsome praises. They are no doubt fed and possibly feed for them. At the crossing to the Wilderness he sat in his saddle watching the scene "with the rains of his command well in hand,"--he was the last to crossby that way! In the hurried march from Stafford, he was in the van picking up people who professed to be going to mill. Such people were not to be trusted — and Hooker knew well enough the cat in the meal table&c. These writers make him always and everywhere great.

Imperturbable indeed! The letter writers which follow Hooker's army are constantly covering him over with their fulsome praises. They are no doubt fed and possibly feed for them. At the crossing to the Wilderness he sat in his saddle watching the scene "with the rains of his command well in hand,"--he was the last to cross, and cutting away the bridge, swore there should be "no more crossing by that way! In the hurried march from Stafford, he was in the van picking up people who professed to be going to mill.

Holmes's army was doing nothing — never was doing anything, but dying, run the enemy land if he dare; I'll whip him back into the river." But Holmes would not allow any thing of the kind to be attempted. The writer further states that Gen. Holmes had at one time 40,000 men, who were demoralized and diminished to 12,000 without striking one blow. "No and may well arouse an indignant feeling through the country. General Holmes is by many considered an effete commander, belonging to the cla

luding to the reports put forth at the time Kirby Smith was ordered to the Trans-Mississippi Department, and when he was preceded a few days by Gen. Price, that Gen. Smith was to have supreme command and that Gen Price was to be assigned to active command in the field, untrammeled, to pursue the enemy when and where he could strik. T. learned that upon their arrival in Arkansas it was certained that General Holmes was in command there, and that General Price would be under him; and that General Smith's presence would be required in Louisiana. Gen. P., he continues, who had restored confidence to a number of troops and recruited an army, sought permission tominished to 12,000 without striking one blow. "Now," he says, "when our fate trembles in the balance, 15,000 to 20,000 men are held in a vice; they neither help Kirby Smith opposite Vicksburg, nor capture Helena, nor destroy the enemy's means of subsistence, nor threaten St. Louis, nor anything else in God's world to aid our cause"
