July 1st." 1663.

A .State Convention of the Union Democrats. The leading Uuion Democrats of this State, have issued an address to their fellow citizens, inviting them to meet in coi vention at Indianapolis on the 13th day of August next. The address is signed as follows:

JAMES GAVIN, Chairman, Dooatur DOUUtV. AIJVAH JOHNSON, Warrick. WILLIAM KURTZ, Gibson. A. LOVERING, Clark. JOHN I. MORRISON, Washington. JOHN F. CAltlt, Jackson. NATH'L T. HAUSKR, Bartholomew. JOHN M. JOHNSON, Franklin. JOSEPH S. BUCKLES, Delaware. W. W. FRYBARGER, Fayette. DAVID S. GOODING, Hancock. AUSTIN H. BROWN, Marion. HENRY SECREST, Putnam EZRA REED, Vigo. JAS. H. STEWART. Carroll. JOSEPH 11. BROWN, Warren. CHAS. W. OATHCART,LaportP. CHAUNCEY CARTER, Casa. WILLIAM S. (SMITH, Allen ANDREW JACKSON, Madison. JOHN BROYVNLEE, Grant. Central Executive Committee of the Union War Democracy of Indiana.

It would furnish us much pleasure to publish tho address in full, but wo cannot do so at present for tho want of space. It is an ably written document, and will undoubtedly have great weight with that portion of the doinocracy of Indiana, which i3 not indentified with tne VALLANDIGHAM and FERNANDO WOOD platform of submission to rebol domination. The Convention will doubtless bo one of the largest ever held in the State, as tLere are thousands of democrats who dcsiro to loave the organization which is managed and controlled by such men as JOHN G. DAVIS, VOORUEES,VALLANDIGHAM, BEN, and FERNANDO WOOD, and a few others of similar sentiments.

Thoy have led their followers so far towards open rebellion to the constituted authorities of the land, that thousands of them have awaked to a realizing sense of their hazardous and unpatriotic position, and are determined to retrace their steps and abandon tho fatal experiment. Did Um loaders referred to control at will all tho power of the onco united democratic party, in tb« presonl crisis, they would doubtless be ablo to enter the struggle as allies of the rebels with fair prospects of making the schemes of the leading rebels successful. But they havo advanced far enough now to show conclusively that thoy only influence and control tho worst elements of that, onco proud and l'ormicfablo organization.

Tho men whose names are signed to the call, and which are given above, are the best democrats of Indiana, and havo always been so considered by that party in its better days. Wo predict thoy will rally around them such a host of true democrats as will render powerless the effrots of those loaders who have been striving to lead thoir deluded followers into rebellion and civil war in the North.

Tho address concludes as follows We adjure all who claim tho namo of Democrats, by our duty to our country aud its bacon light of civil liberty to cast aside all sympathy and aid to this treason. Come wlgt may, "through evil report and through good report," touching us and ours, wo stand by the country and its Democratic institutions. Reproachful "names have no terrors while tho broad banner of our republic, tho emblem of civil liberty, so often yearned for by tho down trodden in other climes, is over us, and wo hold up its standard. We stand by tho Government, seeking no favor from it, and pledging no support to individuals in it, find wo will" uphold it as tho chosen typo of our country and freedom with all our cner gies during this attempt to destroy it. Wo cau find HO assured hope that wero the present national Administration forcibly overthrown that our condition would be bettered. On the other hand, we believe that nothing but anarchy, ruin and bloodshed would follow.—Whenever tho day of election comes wo can express cur preference for men of Union devotion, but now our duty is to "our country, our whole country and nothing but our country." If that country falls we ask no shield from its fato.

We havo no purposes to serve but the honor, safety and welfare of our common country, and have no appeals to make to thoso who are partizaus only lor party's sake. Wo have no partizaw ends to accomplish. We would sincerely adviso you to meet frequently together in your neighborhoods, and to hold consultations with one another. Suffer nothing to intervene between you nnd your duty to your country, or to cause you to countenance anything that may create a division of tho Union sentiment of your neighborhood. Throw oil" tho party yoke thrown around your necks by tho loadors of an orpanizuiou barren of principles, and unite your efforts together for the good of our common country itid the preservation of its Government.

Remember that the cvor living principles of Democracy teach that the citizen owes no allegience any party, to the peril of his countrv. If it be claimed that as a matter of duty, you ought, to adhere to the organization which Mr. Vallandiuh um is now the representative man and sainted idol, because it is tho samo partv organization with which you had before voted, and, therefore, has a hereditary claim upon vour suffrages—show to such claimants that this anti-war party was inaugurated but little over a year sii.ee, and that, upon the scor. ot old party associations, it has no claims upon you whatever. That it was brought into existance by a Congrcs sional clique,

of ,he

great champion of Democracy, Stephen A. Douglas* that its leadership has been mainly in the hands ot those who supported an opposition candidate tor the Presidency in I860

General in tho rebel army and

that this organisation was inaugurated in order to place again within the ile of the party church the eeceders of I860

Men of our convictions of duty throughout the State hare desired to meet and consult upon the perils of their country, the divisions among our former associates, and tho best mode to bring forth the patriotic sentiment of the Democracy, and we havo been instructed to appoint a time for a mass meeting of the Union War Democracy at the Capital of tho State. In obedience to that direction, we have appointed Thursday the 13th day of August, 1863, for the loyal Democracy of the State of Indiana to assemble in mass meeting at Indianapolis, and we invite all the Democracy who feel their duty to their country in this her hour of peril to be paramount to party diciplme aud organization to assemble with us in cordial welcome and brotherhood. Wo promise that you w.ll be addressed by many the mos* taleuted Union War Democrats of the country whom the Democracy have heretofore delighted to cherish and honor.

IT is said that General GnAsr relieved General MCCLE&NAND of his command on account of his congratulatory address to the troops of his corps. This address, besides claiming much credit for General McCi®NAND'A corps, and making unjnst discriminations against other corps, at least, equally worthy, was published to the troops without being first sent to the Commanding General for his approval—a breach of discipline which General GRAST felt himself compelled to take notice of relieving General MCCLIRSAND of his command.

THF. North have discovered from this war the value of Slavery to the South as a military institution and the proclamations of Lincoln have been desigued to destroy that power in our bands.—Richmond Examimr.

That is it precisely and a more distinct justification of the policy of the Government could not be framed. The Examiner well knows "the value of Slavery as a military institution," and hence it appreciates thg President's sagacity in issuing the emancip tion proclamation.

The Louisville Journal—an intensely 0* nservative and Pro Slavery, but not oxaci-j pro-Rebel sheet—thus tartly rebukes the more reckless Copperheads: "We look at the columns of The Philadelphia Evening Journal reread the speeches of Peace factionists and the resolutions of their meetings, and while they have no word of commendation or encouragement for those who are engaged in fighting the battles of this war for the preservation of the Union, wo find that they are equally and most significantly sileDtin condemnation and execration of the rebellion ai«f of those who ore endeavoring to overthrow the Government. When such men propose an armistice, we CAU see but little difference between them aud rebels in £rms the former would destroy the country cunning strategy, and tho latter by opes assault. Tho patriotic Democracy, to

which

we turn with hope and encour

agement in theso terrible trials, is firmly in favor of sustaining the Government in all these measures which it deems indispensably necessary to.secure a peace by putting down the rebellion, and the more steadily and reso Intely it adheres to this policy, the more extended will be the scope of its usefulness, nnd the more brilliant the successes which it must achieve before the people."

The Tast and Present of the Financial Situation. One of tho darkest periods in the history of the war of the Government and tho people against the great Rebellion, was that in January and February last when the War Department was left without means to defray its daily expenses. The dark days after the first Bull Run battle were not so gloomy or so threatening. Without money, the Government lacked tne very sinews of war,'' aud that was its condition. With the national loans heavy and sinking, with Treasury notes depreciating at an alarming rate, with gold going up by enormous leaps, with public confidcnce impaired, and the Treasury coffers wholly vacant, it was no wonder that, the prospects of the country looked gloomy.

In a few months all that was gloriously changed but not^$^out patient and persistent effort not without the exertion of indomitable resolution not without the application of supreme skill in finance and not without arduous labor. Tho first great struggle was between a factious House of Representatives, bent upon a fatal policy, and the Secretary of the Treasury, who foresaw aud strove to avert tho ruin their course was certain to bring upon the country. Tho Secretary's policy, earnestly advocated by an influential portion of the press, at lust achieved a sufficient triumph to avert, the great danger.— niiu vtixn nit tirsr. step gained. Then e:unc the task of restoring confidenoeto the people and the capitalists of tho country, nnd of attracting from its hiding places the money hoarded away and making it available for the sorvice of the Nation. This was mainly the work of tho Agents selected by the Secretiuy of tho Treasury, the chief of whom was the head of a banking house in our own city. How successful he and they havo been, was long sinco visiolo to the country in the easy condition of the National Treasury in tho rapid payment of all arrears and in the prompt, payment of all current obligations. But tho figures which represent the stupendous aggregates of means placed at the disposal of the Treasury, in the last two or three months, by the labors of the Agent and his associates, have beeu bnt littlo considered bv the people. To give these their merited introduction to the public is the main purpose of these remarks. Hero are the particulars and amounts: Down to last Saturday, tho aggregate sales of the six per cent, national loau, known us the Five Twenties," was..$1(12,(i7U,000

Of that, aggregate there was sold by Jay Cooke & Co., and their Sub Agouts $120/100.000 There was placed In Germany, in one order 10,000,000 There was converted at the various Sub Treasuries 32,270,000

Aggregate $162,070,000 Who that inspects the details and the to tals of the above figure-, and who that contrasts the "financial situation" of to day with that of tho dark days of January and Febru nrv last, can withhole the praise duo to 'Vood and faithful servants" who have done their work well?—Phil. Inquirer.

5gjF°The Surgeon General has just commenced the work of making out a complete Official list of all soldiers who have died during the war. The list is intended to embrace every death in tha regular and volunteer forces, and givo the name, rank, regiment, company, cause of death, date of death and place of death. This work will be of great value to the Pension and Land Offices in future adjudications in regard to deceased soldiers, and will save the Government much time and expense in complicated cases which would otherwise arise.

quite a number of persons have grown old four or five years, since last August. Tn another county two brotheis being in different Townships, proved on a comparison o» rolls, to have been born within two weeks each other.

£S^~TheFt. Wayne Gazette snys an unsophisticated Butternut, of one ef the back townships, says that the cause of the oppo sition of the Copperheads to the enrollment of the militia, preparatory to a draft, is from the fact that "every Democrat who goes into the army and lives to get home, is sure to come back an Abolitionist."

THX telegraph informs us that General HnngtR has been relieved of the command of the army of the Potomac. This intelligence will astound the country and increase Che excifefifaent iiow Existing in regard to the Invasion of Pennsylvania, and the demonstra lions in the direction of Washington.

General MJSADJE baa been placed in command of the Federal army. He is a man who is but little known, and has not figured very much in the war. We suppose that his chances for a removal will be g(j{d, .beforea month expires. i\

It is unfortunate for the country, and humiliating to tho loyal people, that a commander for the Potomac armv, cannot be secured who is able to retain his positiou and do Justice to the cause.

Arming Partisans.

Tho Journal of this city, in the last issue, contains an article with tho above heading, which deserves a brief noticc.

Tho writer says flic "policy of arming bi^j'edand excited partis ns, is a measure full of mischief and has no parallel in our h:slory."

We admit that the arming oi ihe loyal men of Indiana to prevent the invasion of their State, by rebel guerrillas and bushwhackers, if nt by formidable armies, has really no "parallel in history." The times and circumstances by which we are surrounded have no parallel in history, therefore, there is uo precedent for arming the loyal men of the State for their own defense. If the people are not justified

the

i:i

Who are they who have organized treason in Monroe county, in Shelby county, in Brown county, and at several points in Ohio Are they ''excited partisans," belonging to --nuumiuu teagues T" They hic most assuredly "excited partisans," and have been excited beyond control by just such men as wrote the article for tho Journal to which we are replying, but they are not partisans ou the side of tho Union. They in.isk themselves with tho name "democracy," iu order tho more effectually to perpetrate their outrages upon community, by mobbing and assassinating its best citizens. They are the men who "disturb the peace of the North," and they are the only men who do so. They have compelled peaceful and law abiding citizens to leave their homes and seek safety among friends in other localities, for the solo ground of being loyal men. And such wrongs aro committed iu the namo of "democracy," and by men calling themselves "democrats."

But the assertion that "excitcd partisans" are boing armed in the sense of tho article, is utterly false. A large portion of the loyal men cf the State, are organizing, army and drilling according to a law for such a purpose, and that they may defend the State from guerrilla raids, and also maintain quiet at home. There is not a single instance in which one of theie organizations havo "disturbed the peace of the North."— Such disturbances have como from another direction.

But wherever a company of militia has been organized, men calling themselves "Democrats" have gut up opposition and denounced the organization as being an abolition one, and as being composed of "excited partisans." Such men refuse to join snch organizations for fear their "Democracy" will suffer, but content themselves with making war upon everything but the rebellion. That is something of which they always speak in tho most respectful torms

But we suppose the peoj-'o will not slop organizing, for fear of wounding the sensibilities of some "Democrat" and by that means "disturb the peace of the North."

i-ming them

selves now, no situation in which they could be placed would justify them in doing so Tho fact that there is no iiral!el in history for this arming of men i? no reason why it should not bo done. We lu'yht answer that there is no pa rallel in our history to this rebellion, and out of the uuparalled condition of things which it has brought upon the country, springs the necessity for arming the loyal citizens who organize themselves according to law. There is no doubt of one thing, and that is, that we have in Indiana a small class of men, who would leave the State in a condition to be overrun and devastated by rebel hordes, rather than arm

people to prevent it. It is evident they have more solicitude for the preservation of the Democratic party, than they have for the preservation of the country. If one or the other must go down in this contest, they are for giving up the Government first. They seem to regard every blow which the rebellion receives, as an attaek upon '-Democrats," by "bigoted and excited partisans."

If the arming of the loyal men of Indiana is fraught wi'h imminent and immediate danger to the peace of the North," by whose fault is it Who are going to disturb the peace of the North, because the loyal men of Indiana choose to organize and arm according to law, to protect themselves against invasion by bandits and guerrillas? Must their homes be plunder pd and devastated, rather than wound the sensitive feeliDgs of some "Democrat," by arming to prevent it Is the author of the article alluded to going to "disturb the peace of the North," because tho loyal men arm for self-protection? Who is he, and what kind of a soul has he, if any at all, who would "disturb the peace of the State," because its citizens exercise the right to bear arms for self protection? Who are they who resist the enrollment, assassinate the enrolling officers iu the peaceful discharge of their duty, and "disturb the peace of the North" generally? Are they "excited par tisans" belonging to Abolition Leagues

In McBioriam.

At a meetinz of Torre Haute Lodge No. 19, of Free and Accepted Masons, held on the 25th of June, 1863, the following preamble iiiul resolutions were adopted:

OSF THE DKATH OF BBO. JOHN H. THOMASS* The angel of death has again sped an arrow, which Struck the breast of Brother John H. Thomas, penetrated bis heart, let out his life blood, and arrested the beat of his pulse. Again the messenger of death has rapped for admission to our Lodge, and again he has demanded and received his tribute—the fifeblood of a brother. Grieved, as we may be, at the announcement of his death, weighed down with sorrow, as we are, at the termination of his career, and lost in wonderment, as we may be, to account for the inscrutable design of Provideuae in removing one so good, so useful, so beloved, a3 our deceased brother, from among u», we still look trustingly and confidingly U,J to our Father in heaven* remembering that he does all things well.

That our brother died young, so much the better for him, whose pure soul was transferred from all earthly contamination and pollution to spheres more congenial to its highest development that be died in the midst of his usefulness should be cheering to ns who are left behind, and who should try to emulate him in a world where the best interests of our race constantly call on us for efforts to become useful members of society and advance the happiness of our fellow-men, that h6 was beloved by us aDd died without an enemy, should be a subject of heartfelt joy lor those whose devotion clings with hooks of adamant to the food memory of hire who bas gone before us. Is the tear dropped in the grave of a loved brother or friend not a thousand times more precious than the stoical indifference at the bier of a person whose soul waa not attuned to the sympathy of mankind, who was impassable to men, neither knowing them nor caring to know them, who died unwept, unhonored and unsung And is not the memory of the dead kept fresh and green, who, while alive, held earnest communion with their fellow men, rejoiced with the happy, grieved with the sorrow-strickon, and had a kind word, a friendly nod or a genial look for alW

Brother John H. Thomas was made a F. and A. Mason in the year 1854, and iu his life exhibited all he virtues which tho tenets of our order inculcato. He was a diligent fieeker alter truth, a hard student, to the defects of his earlier education, charitable in all things, devoted to tho best interests of his kind, indulgent to everybody but himself, in the struggle for the existence of our Government, devoted, self-sacrificing, loyal patriotic, and yielding his last breath, while engaged in ministering to the wants of our sick and dying soldiois in the field. There

men,

paper,

living in

Sullivan county, received notice last week to leave their homes and go to other parts of the country. The threats in case of noncompliance were of such a nature that they deemed it best to leave and come to this city Saturday, where they had a consultation with (Jol. Thompson, Provost Marsha), with what result we have not learned. One of the refugees was in our office Saturday, from whom we learn the above. Truly, wo are progressing. ,t*«

WARRANTED TO WASH.— One objection which has been made to the general use of bank notes is that they will not wash. Even greenbacks melt away into pulp at the touch of water, and ns for tho commoner notes, too many are printed on such paper that they doserve tho name of "flimsies," which is given to bank notes in the thieves' vernacular.

SJIUC ingenious Yankee lias contrived to cure this defoct., by which a bank note, printed on fine

can be soaked and washed

iu hot and cold water a dozen times, gently wrung out and dried, and still be inns good condition as though it were new. The conveniece of such a note are npparent at a moment's thought. Suppose you send your duck trowsers or your Marseilles ve3t to the laundress with a ten-dollar bill in the pocket. If it is a common bank note, and the washer* woman is honest, it returns to you in the shape of a hard pellet of dried paper stock, crowded into a corner of the pocket.

If, on the contrary, your bill was waterproof, you have only to put your hand in your pocket and tike it out. Again, everybody who has te handlo bank bills knows the annoyance of tho grease and filth which they contract in their wanderings. Now, a cleanly bauker or cashier, were the waterproof paper generally used, might keep in his office a small washing machine in which Iw could quickly wash out his dirty bills ho might string up a clothes-line across his private office on which to dry them and thus ho could warrant at least that he paid his customers in clean bills, and that, if even money should get to be cheap as dirt, it would yet be chosen as a new pin.

The wator-proof paper we have spoken of is mado so by a thin and perfectly transparent coating of india rubber, which is laid on after the bill is printed, and covers and preserves the ink as well as the paper.

J3jT*0en. Geo. G. Meade, the new Commander of the Army of the Potomac, was born iu Spain, while his father Richard Kidder Meade was United States Minister at that Court Gen. Meade was appointed to the Military Accademy from the District of Columbia, graduated in 1835, and was appointed Brevet 2nd Lieutenant in the 3rd Artillery resigned in 1836, and in 1842 again entered the Army as 2od Lieutenant in tho Corps of Topographical Enginiers, of which Corps he is at the present time a Major. He wts appointed a Brigadier General of volunteers in 1861, and has since been promoted to a Ma jor General of volunteers.

PETROLEUM AS A STTFTIC.—Not the least wonderful of the many discoveries that have grown out of the introdoction of reek oil, is the knowledge of its undoubtedly valuable curative properties. We have not hitherto noticed that its efficiency in stopping hemorrhage has been preeminently bronght before the public, but we have heard of a case at one of the saw mills in a town in which it was successfully used for this purpose One of the workmen, having had his thumb severely lacerated by a saw, bethought himself of making an application of coal oil, and the blood, which was flowing profnsely from the wound, was almost instantly staunched.

The hall bas recently been thoroughly renovated and papeted, and with the known good taste of this company on snch occasions, those who attend the party may expect to enjoy a pleaaant evening.

FROM CAIRO.

CAICO. June 29.—Passengers arrived to day from Vicksburg, report that Bank cap tured Port Hudson on the morning of the 23d, with 10.000 prisoners, arms and eqipments &c., Tho news is said to have reached Vicksburg by way of the river, but

report lacks official confirmation, and in absence of anything from our own reporter

should

be received with many grains of al lowance. RIV.ADQ'S ABMY OK THK CUMBERLAND,

MANCTIESTEB, TEVX., June 28th.

Gen. Reynolds at 8 a. m., yesterday took possession of this place. At 6 p. m., Gen. Granger occupied She! byville. The rebel?, after a slight resistance evacuated their several positions and treating on our lines, of which Tullahoma is the concentre point.

Gen. Rosecrans has removed the re-.trie tions on the use of telegraph. send a synopsis of brilliant movements which in despite of meterological and pro graphical difficulties, havo resulted with but slight losses to us, in taking possession of the famous gaps and strongly fortified lines lately held by the rebels.

A movement was begun on tho 24th in tho midst of a bevy tain, which has continued ever since with but slight intermission. Tho enemy's advance posts wero found on all the roads leading south, not moro than nin milos distant from Murfrccsboro on the left.

Butlea's 1st Ke:.lucky cavalry was driven rapidly through Hoover's Gap to Boech Grove. They

had

artillery in the

lay.

not time to place their

uniiiiished

works in the Gap.

Two companie.-' were cut off, and scattered in the hills. Stewart's division moved from Fairfield on tho alarm being given to Beech Grove and engaged the head of Thomas' corps, under Col. Wilder. A bri.-l engagement between Wilder's mounted iulnntry aud Bates' rebel brigade ensued, i:i win. the enemy attempted to flank us, but were repulsed by tho 17th Indiana with heavy loss. Our loss is 15 killed and about 50 wounded. Tho fight lasted four hours. The rebels had two guns disabled by Lilly's and Harris' batteries. Tho fight ended with night, tho rebels still holding possession oT Beech Grove and a ridge of hills crossing diagonally tho roads to Fairfield and Manchester and Ewering valley at Gariison's fork, through which our course

On Thursday the enemy threw up earthworks and planted Dardicn's battery to rake Hoover's Gap, in which Thomas' corps wa3 massed. Later in the evening they

fruit, bandages, opened from five points a heavy cross fire on

our position, but were soon silenced by Loo mis'. Church's and Harris' batteries. On Friday liosseau made a flank movement to tho right, for the purpose of getting upon Fairfield road and cutting the rebels off from their lino of retreat Maj. Coolidge had the advance of the flanking force, and made a rapid and brilliant charge upon Bates' rebel brigade on rebels left, driving them in gieat confusion for half a mile, aud causing the rebel right to hastily evacuate Boech Grovo and works, retreating in great, haste towards Fairfax.

Uo! Walker, through fear of being fl inked by the force apparently iif- ning on Ins right, but really letreatiug, failed to move li drigade 11s far as the l'eiih^ld road, and the enemy escaped.

They threw away everything but guns, Strewing the country with blankets aud knapsacks.

Rosseou pursued them to 1 allahoma. Reynolds in the meantime moved forward, and next day occupied Manchester, taking thirty prhouei', among whom aio three officers.

Clayboue's division was eneouniered al Liberty Gap, aud a severe engagement of an hour ensusd. Having accompanied the left I can gjve no details. Our los* is estimated at 300. The rebel loss is ui known. Col. Gown, of the 21 Arkansas, and Maj. Claybrook. on Clayborne'j staff, were killed.

Miller's and Wileh's brigades were obiefly engaged. The loea In the former is heavy in the latter light. Miller is. seriously wounded.

Upon the right a cavalry engagement, of which we have no particulars, was had on the 24th, between Mitchell and Forest, in which the former found himself outnumbered.— Stanley went to Mitchell's aid and Forest re treated. Granger then moved forward, findPolk's corps, reported 18,000 strong, in his front. According to orders the centre and right kept retired and did uot attempt to push the enemy. As soon as Manchester was taken and the rebel right, thej turned centre

and retired, and Granger remained quiet, but the rebels on finding na in Manchester, hastily evacuated War Trace and Shelbyville, aud had not tho constant rains of tho past four days and difficulties of bad roada retarded our entire left, we should have succeedcd in forcing Bragg from his lino of retreat to Tullahoma, and thince towards Tennessee river, or compelled him to fight ua west and north of Tullahoma. As it now stands, he is retiring safely on Tullahoma, Hardee on Trace, and Polk on Shelbyville road. They will be in front of Tullahoma to-night, assuming a defensive position to await attack.

The army of tho Cumberland to-night will be within reach of there and then rest in silence.

Gen. Granger met with a grand roceptiod from loyal citizens of Sbalbyville. Flags floated from the

buildings

of tho citizens and

men women and dhildren welcomed him with tears, and shouts of joy. The flag they had not seen for ten months. Most extravagant demonstrations of joy wero made.

Granger captured 31MI men, 20 officers and three pieces of artillery pushed in pursuit of the rebel train, nine miles ahead.

The Uuniouists estimate Polk corps at 18,000. Bragg's entire force is rougly estimated twice that number..

In spite of the bad weather tho troops are in high spirits, and march splendidly.

FROM ST. LOUIS

ST. LOLIS, June 29.—The Republican's special, dated Headquarters amy of the Cum bcrland, Beech Grove, 18 miles south ot Murfreesboro, says a get eral forward movement of Rosecrans army began on the 2-lth. The continuous heavy rain mado the move mcnts slew, but they have been satisfactory All the enemy's forces appeared to our ad vance pushed back with a severe punish

ment. Col. Wilder's jlouuted Infantry had a severe skirmish at Hoover's Gap on the 24th, driving a superior force of Infantry, inflicting a loss of several hundred killed and wound ed, while his own loss was only 40 or 50.

Willich's brigade is in the advance. McCooks corps drove two regiments of Infantry and a battery ol artillery from a strong position at Liberty Gap, 13 miles south of Murfreesboro on the 24th, suffering a loss of 50.

On the afternoon of tho 25th a fight occurred at *tl«o same place, between the rebel divisions under Clayborn and Willicb and Wilder's acd Carter's brigades.

After a few hours' action, the enemy was completely routed, leaving their dead, a part, of their wounded and a number of prisoneis 111 our hands

Our loss was foriy killed, ono hundred wounded, including fourteen officers. Gen Mitchell's cavalry routed a body ol rebels on tho Shelbyville pike on the 23d.

The troops are in high spirits and eager to the enerov The plan of the rebls has not been developed, bnt indications are they will not give battle this side of Duck river.

Our advance occupied Manchester on the 27th. Prisoners any that Gen. Clayborn was killed at the fight at Liberty Gap that Bragg reviewed troops thare a few houif! before the action, and Gens. Haidee and Stewvrt witnessed the engagement.

FROM"*MEMPHIS.

MEMPHIS, June 26, via CAIRO, June 29. Advices from Grant's army to noon, 22d.say the siege is progressing vigorously.

Gn the 26th cannonading was kept up from earlv morning till noon by the army and navy, but elicited no reply from the garrison.

Large numbers of buildings were destroyed, but beyond that it is not ascertained that much damage was done.

Deserters report Tennessee and Georgia troops are much dissatisfied, and talk of refusing to fight any longer.

Johnston's movements are still wrapped in mystery. He was last reported moving South. His forces are all withdrawn beyond the Big Black.

Gen. Taylor is said to havo hung all Federal prisoners taken at Milliken's Bend. Ke taliatory measures will probably follow this course.

Very heavy rains in this vicinity have rais ed all tho streams to overflowing, and very few movements on either sido have been made.

John Parke, Conservative, was elected Mayor of Memphis yesterday.

FROM HARRISBURG.

HAEJOSSBUEO, June 29.—Information was received by the authorities this morning, which thoy consider perfectly reliable, that 37,000 rebel troops had passed through Chambersburg up to Saturday, together with 104 pieces of artillery.

Gen. Lee was at Chambersburg with his staff on Saturday. The indications are that a strongeffort will bo made to obtain a foothold on this side of tho river.

The rebels have remained apparently inactive in our front up to the present time. HARRISBCRG, June 29—e:30 r. M.—Two refugees have just arrived hero by the Pittsburg mail route, who left Chambersburg on Saturday evening.

Thoy state that 11 o'clock Saturday A. M., Gen. Lee, in oompanv with Longstreet and A. P.Hill, with their staffs and escorts left Chambersburg, taking the Baltimore pike 111 tho direction of Gettysburg.

When the refugees left Hill's corps was passing through town, taking the road Gen. Lee went out on.

The only rebel troops that passed through Chambersburg, coming in this direction, were those of Gen. Rhodes and Gen. Johnson's divisiou, attached to Ewell's corps.

HARRISBURO,June 29—12 M.—I have just returned from Oyster Point, the farthest outpost of »ur lines.

There was firing in tho night about 2 o'clock, and one of our pickets waB wounded. The eueroy is threatening to cross the Snsquehannah, but there has been no conflict up to this timo.
