One day Later.
We have received from the office of
Hon. Robt. Ould,
Commissioner of Exchange, New York papers of the 24th and previous dates.
The news is not very important.
A dispatch from
Baltimore says that on Thursday morning
Gen. Lee's entire army was in motion, moving rapidly in the direction of
Winchester.
Gen. Ewell, who had made a move in the direction of
Cumberland, Md., fell back, and followed
Lee. There was still a large body of Confederate cavalry near
Harper's Ferry.
Morgan crossed the
Muskingum river, 18 miles below
Zanesville, Ohio, on Thursday morning last, with 1,000 men and three pieces of artillery.
On the afternoon of that day he was in
Guernsey county, near the
Central Ohio Railroad, making eastward for the
Ohio river.
The citizens of
Zanesville turned out to catch him, but he caught them and took 25 prisoners, including
a Col. Chandler.
The Abolitionists are turning the draft to political account.
In
Auburn, N. Y., the drafted men paraded on the 23d with flags and music.
They were addressed by "distinguished politicians," and cheered for "The Union--Old Abe — The Draft — Our Recent Victories, &c." Of course the $300 exemptions of these cheerful decoy ducks are paid by the Republican Union Leagues.
In
Maryland, on the same day, the scene was not so pleasant.
In Harford Co. the barn of the enrolling officer was burned and his residence perforated with bullets.
In
Harrisburg, Pa., where the men would not enlist when the
Confederates were at their doors, the women turned out, beat the
Provost Marshal, destroyed the lottery wheel, and nearly killed a policeman.
They were subdued by a posse of 200 men called out by the
Mayor.
The
DeKalb, which was blown up by a torpedo off
Yazoo city,
Miss., was the first Yankee gunboat ever used on the
Mississippi.
Her bow was blown out of the water.
No lives were lost on board.
The torpedo was of the demijohn make.
A letter from
Cairo, dated July 17, states that
Gen. Pillow has appeared in the vicinity of Fort Herman, on the
Tennessee river, with quite a large force, and that the garrison evacuated the post, and fell back to
Paducah.
The property of
Dr. Garnett, a son in-law of
Gen. H. A. Wise, has just been confiscated by the U. S. Government during the lifetime of the owner.
"Running
Joe Hooker" has gone out West to take some command there — among the Indians, probably.
The trial of
Dr. Wright,
in Norfolk, Va., for killing
Lieut. Sanborn, commanding a negro company, is progressing.
His demeanor at the bar is described by Yankee correspondents as "cold, stern, defiant, and extremely repulsive."
Lemuel Bowden and
L. H. Chandler are his counsel.
Gold was quoted in New York, on Thursday, at 125¾@126½.
