From the various reports, in regard to differences growing out of (he adoption of a programme for the eelebration of tbe Fourth by our neighbors at Cambridge, Dublin and Centerville, we were ''rather backward io making up our mind to go there, and did net conclude lo venture until the cars were about stalling, when we swung ourself on and went, abd we can now say emphatically, and we believe the sediment will be echoed by everybody in attendance :."

The procession was formed at the Depot, when Gov. Morton- arrived on tbe Indianapolis train, and proceeded to a beautiful grove immediately east of town on the Railroad, and was at least one mile in length.

The air is represented by eye-witnesses as being thick and dark with the wbizieg bail of iron. On Friday the fight was again renewed, but with the same disastrous results to tbe enemy. Whole brigades were captured. Our losses are variously estimated at from 3,000 to 7,000, while the enemy's loss is thought to range from 15,000, over 6,000 having been taken prisoners, and ovei 5,000 dead and wounded on the field. On Friday night the retreat commenced, the result of which will be awaited with great interest. The bridges .below Hancock are paid to be all destroyed, and rtcent rains have Taieed the Potomac above to six feet in the channel, thus cutting off escape by fording. Couch is already in their rear, guarding the mountain passes; Kelley is on the River, and Meade is in rapid pursuit, his headquarters being at Hagerstown on Sunday.

Cairo, July 7. Between eight and ten thousand rebels, under Holmes, Price and Marmaduke, made an attack on Helena on the morning of the Ft urth. They advanced in three columns, but the roughness of the ground was such as to prevent the rebels from bringing up their artillery, and they attempted to carry onr works by assault. The center column charged in the direction of Fort Curtis and tcok three lines of rifle pits. Their flank attack was not so successful, which subjected their center to an infilading fire which swept tbem down in great numbers. ; Tbey Were soon surrounded and captured. ' One whole brigade. , . - i ' : ,u . or Wtoal was leu Ol li, numuermg cigui hundred and forty, fell ioto our hands, seven hundred and forty of whom arrived here this morning. Among them are Col.

The entire Federal loss not over 100. n Prentiss is confident tbat he can repel any assault made. It is thonpht that the rebel depredations near Lake Providence, were to draw oni gunboats to that point, thus giving them a better opportunity at Helena. Prices In the Kevolutlou. Those traitorous advocates of peace who point to the price-current as an argument for the immediate suspension of the war will do well to consult the history of our country a little and see how light are the burdens we efidure to preserve our government in comnarison with those which our fathers suffer ed to establish it. Mrs John Q. Adams, writing to her husband in Europe, October 15th, 1790, gives Ibe following prices of provision, in the. Colonies at that time : "Corn is now 30; rye, n, per bushel.

We have been disposed to discredit and to condemn the scandal of the camps touching the private vices of some of our distinguished gen erals, but the imputations upon the whiskyguzzling propensities of the late commander of the grand army of the Potomac are at once so uniform and so well authenticated that we are forced reluctantly to the conviction that drunkenness was the chief cause of his removal. A change of commanders in the (ace of the enemy a so full of hazard that we cannot believe that the President and his advisers would have ven tured upon the risk except under circumstances which made it imperatively necessary. A well known citizen of I jifayette, who- arrived direct from Washington to-day, reports upon evidence he deemed reliable, that Hooker was beastly in toxicated on Thursday last, and it is well understood in certain circles at Washington, that the bomb shelt which was reported to have entered Hooker's tent at ChanceUorsviHe, was a demijohn of whisky, -'only , this and nothing bTtL if vt?

Since leaving loa Plantation,'. Apiu 28th, we have lost more than one ? hundred of car best men in killed and - wounded. That was a fearful telling upon our already thin ranks, and I do not say too much when I aay we hare done harder fighting, and more of it than any regiment ia Grant's department Other regiments may have lost more men, but not io proportion to numbers engaged. ? Ote month ago to day we joined'in the second attempt to storm tbe works of the great American Sevastopol ; the result you know, and we, alas, found it out to our sorrow. Those rua-eed hills and deep ravines were that day drenched with the blood of some of Indiana's noblest - pons. Io this charge Major Finley (ell severely wounded while directing our boys to silence some sharpshooters tfcat were doing fearful work with our men. He fell with the folds of our fiig resting upon bis shoulder. He was thought to ba mortally wounded. Colonel Bennett leaped upon the top of a cliff, ex posed to a withering fire frem the enemy, and with his sword brandished in the air, called upon his men to-avenge the death of our gallant Major. Lvery eya was aimed with manly tears and a solemn response told that they had sworn. revenge thrice over. A tew minutes after Lieut. Strattan fell mortally wounded while nobly doing his duly, i bus we have been shorn ol some of our best men in each and every engagement till we have scarcely a corporal's guard left, but woe to him who dare face tbat guard. At Port Gibson we alone fought the famous 6th Missouri, 1 3th Alabama and part of another regiment I have forgotten the name for an hour and twenty minutt-s across a ride not more than 30 feet apart. Three times during tbat time did they bx bayonets and attempt to charge Ur, but as often they met cold steel ja- return, and were forced back leaving 26 of leaving of their dead upon the spot. We were in the thickest of the fighting j for 5 days at Vicksbursr. and until the work of taking tie fortifications by storm was abandoned, a thing that should never have been attempted, and 1 am told Grant opposed it from the start. tie saw at once a seige mast ensne and tbe rearmost be pro tected, and to do this none was so competent as his " fighting Dutchman," (General

In our last review of this subject, w left' the armies of Lee and Hooker rapidly marching nearly on parallel lines to a final issue. One wa pursuing the line of the Shenandoah and Cumberland Valleys, and the otheVmarchiig io tbe same direction on tbe east side cf the Blue Kidge. In thi movement, Lee, was marching on the outer curve, and Hooker On an inner and a shorter one. We said that if Lee had eiiher of the cities in view as a point of attack, it was probably Baltimore, which, if takto, would also secure Washington. We, now know this was the object, for Lee advanced his head columns toward Harrisbur as a feint and then turned them south by Gettysburg and York. It will be seen by a ,map that Lee marched north in the valley to Chainbersburg, then east by Carlisle toward Harrisburcr and Columbia, and then beran o w to turn south again by Gettysburg ; whence two days' long inarch would have cairied him to Baltimore. It is also evident that soon after the curve made by Lee's army began to turn south, it would intersect the line of march of the army of the Potomao, and the issue of battle would be at onco made. It was made, and Lee'a army rs totally .defeated. The noble but heretofore unfortunate army of the Potomac has vindicated its character, and won laurels which will live in the immortality of fame. But here arises some most interesting questions. Why did Lee make that dangertous movement? What significance has it in the rebel plana? Why did not the Army of the Potomac endeavor to intercept him. and attack him at an earlier time f And what are to be the consequences of ; Lee's disaster ? -Wa must put aside excitement, and ascertain the true position ot alfans, before we can make an accurate judg ment upon them. We stated before that the rebels had followed precisely the strat ey marked out for them by Emil Schalk ; the beginning of the war the rebels have been in the process of exhaustion to an extent which has not been believed by many people at the North. A large body(of what remains of tlia people in the South are, dispustea sod weary with the war. It is not possible to recruit the rebel armies up to "their former strength. Io the midst of this almost hopeless condition. Grant's brilliant ; operations piactically destroyed one of their 'armies, for the troops under Pemburton and ' Johnson ' are effectually nullified as to any : , ... . - tt n ; practical use. ai tne same time, lee, totlowing "Schalk's advice, had failed in his Newburn attack, and with the largest and best army they bad, was doing nothing. Ia this state of things it was evident tbat if something brilliant .and decisive was not done, iliere must be a totd discouragement, if not dwindling away of the rebel armies. But there was behind this the hope tbat the Northern Peace Party, if sustained by the presence of an army, would make a diversion in their favor. Then there was the chapter of accidents which has heretofore been largely in their favor. All the-e reasons, no doubt, operated with Lee, to induce a movement which was intrinsically difficult and hazardous. But he pursued his course for two weeks uninterrupted and successful, and put his army just where he pleased. Why was h not attacked? Why was he not cutoff in Maryland? The first great reason, and which the reader has not been informed of, is, that by losses occasioned by the discharge of the short term men, sickness and desertion, the Army of the Potom ac Lad Mtcome actually injerior to that of Ltce. lo ma, a battle, then, at first, on the first movement, would not do at all. What the army ot the Potomao needed was, by preventing Lee's crossing through the Gaps i and thus throwing it on an outer H te, to gain time, reinforcements and positions. which . would enable it to fight successfu ly when it becane necessary. After L-e crossed the Potomac at Sheppardstown and Williamsport, the farther be advanced compatible with the safety of Baltimore, the better for us-. , Armies were gathering round bim, and by the time he reached Gettysburg, 75.000 men were already in Harrisburg, Foster had arrived on the Peninsula; and if 50,000 more men were needed, they could be bad!. . Lee in Pennsylvania was really in a great trap, from which nothing bat the most extraordinary lock could extricate him. He ha lost the first battles, although it is probable others must ba fought. -: . We come now to the probabilities of the future situation. What are they ? If Lee decides (as it seems he must,) on aa imme I diate retreat te will seek the shortest, by 1 the valley or Hagerstown. and the ferries of Sheppardstown and Williamsport. But u : l. t . f t - i . u me ii.ci ib uigu, iuu tne on ig-js aes'rov ed. that does not seem possible . What then, can he do I. The map will show that he can reach Hancock or Cumberland by the Cumberland road ; and at two points he eoali probably ford." But auch move ment would throw him far into the moun tains, without the possibility of doin-? any tii tig for Richmond. In th mountains will be the last rally of the' rebels; the last ditclv in which the hopes of the 'rebellion will-perish.

These are important enough to account for the universal rejoicing of our people. But there are other practicable results that may still follow of even greater importance in ending the war. The fall of Vicksburg releases a great army for operations in the great field of the West, where with this help the Confederate army may be destroyed or driven from every position it now holds ; Chattanooga and East Tennessee may be occupied by our forces, and the Confederate array driven finally to the Gulf States.' With Burnside's troops released from Vicksburg, and Grant s army co-operating with Rosecrans,' the accomplishment of all this during the present season is not only a reasonable expectation, but it ia so palpably practicable that to fail to do it would be a military lault. r Cincinnati Gazette. . .. s,,t i ; ? 1 The Income Tax Nne Returns to toe held Strictly Private. A circular issued by Commissioner Lewis -directs Assessors and Collectors to "exercise such a control of the lists as to prevent the gratification of mere idle curiosity in the examination of them.' He also advises as follows : You will please observe ' that the returns j which have been or shall be made by taxpayers, to assessing income tax. are not to be communicated toothers than those whose business it is1 to collect the tax, except in the performance of official duty ; and all officers of internal revenue are instructed that inquiries aa to tbe purport of or amount of such returns by persona not interested in them pecuniarily, or in some judiciary capacity, are not to be answered. Considerations relating to mercantile credit, and to the feelings of individuals aa to the axpoture of the state ot tnetr fortune or business, render a careful observance of these instructions particularly proper, and it is therefore strictly enjoined. B& Because we last week took occasion to notice the "Julian raid" on Mr. Holloway, in connection with ' the M. C'a con. etant arid persistent abuse of otfjer prominent citizens, bis two hundred tlotlar chat Ul of the Broadaxe thinks we have 'opened the Congressional campaign. To be sure we have repeated "the old two dollar and fifty cent story" quite a number, of times, and it bears repetition as an index of both the "texture" and "fibre". of the material out of which "our talented" I. O. is made. If either himself or his chattel, or any other ol bis satelites, will wipe the record, fro,na Esq. Wilson's old docket, at .Cenlerville, by paying it, we'll pledge ourself , not, to speak of the littls affair whenever the Congressioaal canvas shall be opened, only to mention the fact that it was paid, after the plaintiffs had given up all hope of ever get ting their just dues 1 t XyThe last Jeffersonian contains a call to "all democrats and others liable to be conscripted' to meet at Milton to-morrow (Saturday) at Crane's Hall. Is there going to be a commencement at Milton, to put in force the solemn resolve the copperheads made at CambriJge, " as sure as the Lord reigns in Heaven," that "blood would flow" if the Administrationjdetcrmine to go on in the prosecution of this war ? As the conscription act is to be enforced as. one of the means of prosecuting i this -war, ' we shouldn't wonder if these copperheads liable, to be conscripted," would do something desperate at their proposed meeting. tSTbe Cincinnati Commercial gives the following excellent definition of the" terms copperhead" and butternut:" " A copperhead is a person no malignant ly Lossile to his country that the does not rejoice at the defeat of Lee and tbe fail el Vicksburg ; and a butternut is one so ignorant that he does not know the significance of those events." ; ; K ., - Editop-ial RsriaACT.
