It is stated that the New York comrnitte e posed to the President to pay no bounty after the 18th August, and if the state quota was not then filled to instantly draft. The President acceded to the proposition, and gave the committee a letter to the War Deparment, recommending the issue of orders to that effect, with the consent of Governor Morgan. PHILADELPHIA, JULY 31. The private subscriptions to the bounty fund this morning, •etelusive of railroads, is 272,000 dols. During yesterday afternoon between 400 and 500 Confederate prisoners, confined at Fort Delaware, took the oath of allegiance. The Louisiana Tigers seemed especially anxious to take the oath. Last evening there was a violent disposition among the Secessionists to attack their comrades, but the outburst was soon checked. JACKSON (TENNESSEE), JULY 30. Captain Dalien's cavalry attacked 80 Confederates yesterday near Brownsville, and captured 40 pri soners. The Confederates were afterwards rein forced, and recaptured-29-men and 14 horses. The Federal loss was four killed and six wounded. The Confederate loss was about the same. WASHINGTON, JULY 31, General Todd, of Ohio, has decided that after the 15th August he will pay no more bounties. If there shall be a deficiency of volunteers then it will be made up by draft without bounty. Other governors propose the same thing, and the Secretary for War will probably adopt it. NEW YORK, JULY 31. The steamer Matanzas, from New Orleans, July 25, has arrived. General Butler had ordered that all negroes sent by their masters to the Federals should be regarded as emancipated. Masters had in many cases endeavoured to reclaim them. General Butler, in a note to Reverdy Johnson, says no merchandise, whether cotton or sugar, will by any event be seized or confiscated by the United States authorities there. ~~, Dispatches from Fort Monroe of the 29th state that General N'Clellan had issued orders for every man to be ready for action at a moment's notice. It was thought that an attack from General Jack son might be expected at any time, and it was not known whether he would attack General Pope's or General M'Clellan's army, and if General M'Clellan's it was not known in what quarter. It was the prevailing opinion in the army that an im mediate movement was to be made ; that the actions of the Confederates of late have indicated it is un mistakable, and that General M'Clellan was ready for them, no matter from what quarter they might approach him. But few probably know where to find General Jackson, as the Confederates say he takes what men he wants, and goes where he likes, and does as he chooses with them. The Grenada Appeal of the 24th says that Com modore Davis and his gunboats attacked the bat teries of Vicksburg and the ram Arkansas, and had been repulsed with the loss of five boats sunk and disabled. EUROPEAN INTERVENTION IN AMERICA. The following letter appears in the Tinges : Sir,—As Mr. Roebuck and your well-informed Liverpool correspondent, " 5.," have concurred in recommending to the public that the civil war now raging in the dis , United States of North America should be extinguished by the immediate interven tion of the Powers of Europe, I beg, in opposition to their recommendation, to be permitted to submit to your readers the following observations on that important subject. For nearly half a century there has existed , throughout England the Christianlike, and, in truth, I must add the commercial sentiment, that on no account whatever should we embark with the United States in a war, in which Great Britain would have everything to lose and nothing to gain, more than Cain gained when he rose up and slew his brother Abel. Instead of appreciating this fraternal, or rather paternal feeling, the Americans astutely determined to turn it, as they turn everything, into dollars ; and accordingly, firmly relying or, Old England's desire for peace, they continued to make upon her a series of groundless demands for territories fisheries, apologies, &c., each ending with the six stereotyped monosyllables, " We must have this— or war !" Moreover, they proclaimed it to be their " destiny," firstly, to obtain for their Washington Confederation everything on the continent of North America which, in their own opinion, belonged to it; and, secondly, under their Monroe doctrine, to capture, by force of arms, everything that didn't belong to it. Now, when it is considered that the above was the fixed policy of the 34 United States,—that the hatred and jealousy especially of the people of the Northern States against England were implacable, —that with the will to quarrel with her, or join with any European nation in quarrelling with her, they possessed the gigantic powers (lately developed) of suddenly raising for war 1,500,000 men, and within a year, say, 300 millions of money, surely we cannot be too thankful that it has pleased the Almighty to permit the people of the United States, not only with their own hands and of their own accord to break into pieces their own Union, but to exhaust upon each other the passions a nd materials for that furious war which it would have been be yond the power of our statesmen to prevent them much longer waging against the peace, happiness, and prosperity of England. On the bursting out o f this fearful fratricidal struggle, it would have b een madness for England to step forward and enedeavour to re-unite and re excite them to prey upon her vitals instead of upon their own. But, although there were not wanting false philanthropists to l advocate this suicidal mea ortune rendered impracticable by the 2 sur e, it was fortunately the Northern States threatening to declare in stunt war a gainst any nation of Europe that sh ou ld dare to interpose in their quarrel. Under this restriction, which either belligerent has a right to impose, it must surely be evident that the simple dignified course of England to pur sue is to abstain from interfering in the American contest, until, under the guidance of Providence, the cure of a great political public evil shall have i been completely effect e d . l Mr. Roebuck, a few days an• constituents at Sheffield, statedbo, i n presence of his and enthusiasm of his " that in the ardour the wondrous fabricyouth he had looked upon -- Which had been raised by the great heroes of the American Revolution as a won drous effort of human skill—as the millennium of mankind," yet he honestly confessed "I have li ved to see th a t a l l shatte r ed—split asunder—America divided into two, and I think likely to be divided into five, and for ever ceasing to be the United States of America. INTy first feeling was grief. INly present feeling is one of rejoicing. I - say an irresponsible people, possessed of irresponsible and almost omnipotent power, is a people that cannot be trusted." Mr. Roebuck accurately describes the fallen condition of his former clients, and yet he instantly drew from his own , v iem i ses a wrong conclusion. No person is more competent than Mr. Roebuck to assist the proprietor o f a large estate in legallY subdividing it in whatever ma nner he may ti llnk proper to direct. But if Mr. Roebnck were to find the said Proprietor, Poss ess ed of irrespons ible and almost omnipotent power, to be a man 0 that could not be trusted," and if Jr.: Roebuck, moreover, could not info rm even his own mind whether the estate was to be divided "into two parts or into fiYe," would he not boldly declare to the great man APE - 4:17 "4- ita,s tho 4+ , 0404 had not yet arrived And if ti grounds could Mr. Roebuck, at .ot 3 Pft_ diction to his own assertions, end hisiaveriveecg by the following appeal " I entreat the no ble lord (Palmerston) to we i g h well the conseq uences of what he calls perfect n eu t ra li ty. ' " : At the present time, as regards the contest in question, " perfect neutrality" is not only a virtue, ~ but a necessity, simply because n e ith er the dia United States themselves, nor the nati ons o f E ur ope, know the terms upon which the existing struggle Could possibly be adjusted. Indeed, at this moment, the people of the Northern and Western States are so ignorant of their own affairs, that in their estimation the value of their paper and pasteboard bank-notes for a half penny and upwards is only 16 per cent. less than their amount in sterling gold! In a few weeks the fatal truth must reach their minds. On the Ist of September an invading army of tax-gatherers must inevitably produ ce among t h em f ur th er sec ession, with a s weep i ng repudiation of all Federal debts. Without th e i r f ue l— money—the flames o f war must quickly subside. And when defeat, sickness, desertion, dishonour, disappointment, despair, hu miliation, and insolvency shall have conjointly created among them an earnest desire that Europe should condescend to settle for them principles, and especially details, which they find they are utterly unable to settle among themselves, then, I humbly submit, the hour will have arrived when England, with dignity and friendly feelings, may consent, either separately or with other nations of Europe, to consummate for the dis-United States of North America a permanent disruption of their Republic. —I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Croydon, Aug.l3, F.

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be fourd in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."--Aledical Circular.

W.C. J. ~~: ENGLISH AND AMERICAN ARISTO CRACY. (From the New York Times.) Two events have occurred recently in England which are significant of the state of public feeling toward America, On the annual commemoration day of the founders of Oxford, the students are in the habit, before the usual address is delivered, of cheering and hissing the different names of popular or odious public men as they are proposed. The name of Garibaldi had been cheered, and that of Napoleon both cheered and hissed, when some one shouted out the name of " Jefferson Davis ;'' it was received with tumultuous and unanimous applause. " President Lincoln" was proposed, and it was greeted with hisses and groans. The other incident to which we alluded was the public meeting, already described in our columns, of the operatives in Manchester—the hard-working, pinched, hungry masses of men in the cotton and other manufactures of that city. They were called together to hear a proposal from a member of Par liament, that the English Government should inter vene in the American civil war—nominally for the sake of peace, but really to establish the Southern Confederacy. These men had been the great sufferers from our war; their wives and children were crying vainly at home for bread to feed them, while all their aristocratic teachers assured them they had but to acknowledge the South, and cotton would pour in its stream of labour and wealth to them. They had heard continually from the higher classes that the only objects of the North were 1 power and territory, and that the South were but asserting the rights of the declaration of indepen dence, and struggling for liberty, With these fal lacies before them, with hunger and want behind them, the operatives of Manchester reversed the whole object of the meeting, rejected the proposition of Mr. Hopwood, passed a motion, with immense applause, in favour of preserving the American . Union, and supporting the policy of President Lincoln. We would not exaggerate the importance of either of these events—certainly not of the first. Still they may be considered as straws on the sur face of English opinion. The instinct of portions of the people has struck through to the essential character of our civil war. The sons of the aristo cracy—those whose fathers and ancestors have be come rich and powerful, either by burdens laid on the people, or by wealth taken from them ; who dread, beyond all things, the equal elevation of the masses with themselves, who have the very name of democracy—these naturally feel for the so-called aristocrats of America—the nobility of the slave pen and the plantation. They feel unconsciously, or they have heard it at home, that the same struggle is raging on American soil which has con vulsed Europe, and will convulse it again—the struggle between those who would raise up the lowest classes to the rights and privileges of humanity, and those who would depress them for their own base purposes. They see well that the stupendous conflict which is desolating a continent is no causeless and un meaning struggle, but is indeed the clashing of principles; that this, even as the first French revo lution, is essentially a war of democracy against privilege; for the rights of man against the immu nities of a class. The triumph of the North would be the triumph of democracy, and they dread it-- very reasonably—almost as they would a revolution of the British masses themselves. The success of the South would be the ruin of the American re publican experiment, and would throw back the popular party in Europe for a century, therefore they pray for it, and cheer its rebellions leader. The victory of the North would give a shock to aristocratic privileges in England, from which they would never recover. Reform, popular suffrage, the a b o lition of a state church , the elevation of the working c l ass es, would be, in future, the po ss ibl e English results of our success. No wonder that the boys of the universities shout fora slaveholding confederacy and the great repudiator. — On the other hand, a portion of the working classes—those who think for themselves—feel at once that the national cause in America and the po pular cause in England are one. Though tempo rarily we deprive them of bread, with a noble in stinct they feel that we are really striking for them and the rights of caste man kin h dag m ai e n ss s a t ge,, , T a h n e d y p k ow no e w r. As Mr. Linc o l n sa id in is that the destruction of the American republic, whatever else it may mean—means no good to the common people." While an army of the middle cbllainssdeesdarbe hoodwinked by y th e aristocracy, or are national jealousy and selfishness, not looking under the surface of events here, and seeing the real struggle of great ideas beneath party cries and official proclamations, the heart of the English masses discern the truth as by instinct. They see in the Southern leaders not merely oppressors of the negro, but oppressors of mankind. The victory of our Government is to them the victory of universal suffrage, of republicanism, liberty and justice to the poor—all for whi ch the people have str uggled so long in Europe . T he triumph of the South is, to th e ir clear vision, the triumph of a privileged few 1 —the basest aristocracy every fo r med, for ferocity , cruelty, and meanness gr own rich on the sale of human b o di es, and fatte ned of the poor. con spicuous -- by the blood ______ TUE ALLEGED OU TRAGE 13- ; F EDE RAL SOLDIERS IN MISSOr Rl,—The Hannibal ( by Federal soldiers of Herald gives the following version of the shooting state.

Twilight led off, followed by Bloodhound, Camperdown, Mily, Medusa, and Paresseuse, and was not headed until they turned for the straight, where Mily went to the front on the outside, and carried on the running for a quarter of a mile ; Camperdown then deprived her of the lead, and Nemesis with The Principal and Turn of Luck on her near side improved their positions. Little further change occurred, except that Turn of Luck passed the leading horses at the distance, and challenged Camperdown at the stand, but, being unable to reach him, was beaten cleverly by half a length.

P arr, and laid the foundation of that gentleman's fortune, by not only putting several thou sands into his pocket, but relieving him from the millstone which so long had hung round his neck. And he followed up his luck by getting through the Cesarewitch for him with the same horse. For the Cambridgeshire he was simply backed for his luck. And when he told his friends that he should win that race, he told them " The Truth," and found it confirmed. With Candlewick ho landed the Epsom Autumn Handicap for "The Alderman ;" and he may be said to have taken "Excelsior" for his motto. In 1853, he was out of his indentures, and scarce could he move " but each eye was upon him." At first he steadily refused all retainers and masters, for he said they kept him off good horses. But by our strong recommendation, he, on the promise of 'old John Day "that he would be father to him and make him a jockey," became engaged to him for Mr. Howard. His first mount, which was on Lascelles, for the Craven at Epsom, was a winning one, and it foreshadowed his future victories in the black and orange, which, barring those in Sir Joseph's colours, were the greatest he ever achieved. For the same year he got placed for the Derby for him on Rataplan, and won the Queen's Vase at Ascot on Oulston ; and the Leamington Stakes with Little Harry. Prior to this ,in the spring, he had secured the City and Suburban for Tom Stevens, after a dead heat with Pancake ; and he had done another good thing for Mr. - Parr with Defiance in the North amptonshire Stakes. His .reign in 1854 was a com plete "blaze of triumph,' for " Honest John" prepared Virago for him, and he took the turf by storm with her. With this flyer, Well's Made short work of The Great Northern and The Dutohman's Handicap, at York, as well as with "The Thousand" at Newmarket, and the Good wood and Doncaster Cups ; and the picture portraits of the trio were in every print-shop in the country. In 1854 he won the Chester Cup on Scythian, beating Mortimer by a head, and doing Mr. Parr out of a magnificent estate he had engaged to purchase had the head been the other way. For Mr. Gully he got Hermit third for The Derby, when the Danebury division had taken long odds they ran first and second with Andover and Hermit. By this time they had negatived his original sobriquet of " Tiny," and the sweaters could not bring him lower than 7st. His next great performance worthy of record was in the following year, when he won the St. Leger with Saucebox for Mr. Parr, with any odds against him, for he had been beaten with another jockey upon him at York, and was considered nothing but a plater. We fancy, however, if Rifleman had not been got at by "the cooperer," that Saucebox would have come off second best. For this mount he re ceived from Mr. Thornhill, the Gracechurch-street baker, a couple of hundred, and from the " Squire of Wantage" the expression of the satisfaction he experienced to give him such a horse to immortalise himself upon. In 1856 he was always there and thereabouts in every race ; and to this hour he believes he won The Derby on Adamas for his friend, philosopher, and guide, Mr. Mellish, and, if he had done so, he would partly have imitated Jem. Robinson, who won the Derby the same year he was married. In 1857 Wells and Fisherman went a very profitable tour over the country, and wherever there was a Queen's Plate, there they were sure to be found. One day we would read of him at Manchester, and the following one at Weymouth. Every railway porter knew them as well as they did old Clothworker and George Hall, and equally respected them. After this year the re lations between Wells and Mr. Parr were of a less friendly character ; and although, at the earnest solicitation of Mr. James Smith, he agreed to ride Avalanche for The Oaks, when she got second to Butterfly, he is no longer retained for Wantage. In 1858 he surprised Sir Joseph Hawley not a little by winning The Thousand for him with Fitz-Ro land, on that memorable occasion when Fordham, irritated by some remarks of Lord Ribblesdale, rode Happy Land's head off, and got brought up before the stewards for it. And he subsequently astonished the lucky baronet still more by carrying off the Derby with Beadsman for him, having had the choice of him or Fitz-Roland. Two Derbys in successive years fall to the lot of very few jockeys; and by his Musjid race he at once placed himself on a level with Wm. Scott, Jem Robinson, Sam Templeman, and Frank Butler. By his industry Wells must, by this time, have accumulated a pretty fortune, as a few years ago he had invested a round sum in a steel pen manufactory at Birmingham, which, in his own language, " gave him fives for it," He also placed his father in a small brewery at Sutton Coldfield.—Baily's Magazine for August. THE BR UNELS AND THE GREAT IP ES I'ERN. The directors seem early to have had misgivings as to the expediency of the changes introduced by their engineer, and in 1838, while the line was still under construction, they invited several engineers of eminence to advise with them on the subject. Robert Stephenson and James Walker declined to do so, but Nicholas Wood and John Hawkshaw consented. Both sent in reports, which concurred in recommending the adoption of the narrow or established gauge in place of the broad or excep tional one, Mr. Hawkshaw clearly pointed out that the existing gauge had originated in experience, and that the men whose practical knowledge of railways had been the greatest saw the least occa sion for its alteration ; that three-fourths of England was being traversed by the narrow gauge, and it would be a great evil if the Great Western district were to be isolated front all the great lines in its neighbourhood ; that nothing was to be gained by increasing the width of the gauge, while much might be lost by unnecessary expenditure of capital in the first place, and by driving traffic in other directions in the next ; and under these circum stances he strongly urged that, as only 22 miles of the railway had been laid down at the date of his report, that portion should be forthwith converted into narrow gauge, and the remainder executed of the same width, Mr. Hawkshaw's recommenda tions were of no avail. Mr. Brunel, Mr. Babbage, and Mr. Russell Gurney opposed their adoption by the company ; genius, science, and eloquence car ried the day; Mr. Brunel assured the shareholders that the broad gauge was the best gauge, and that the Great - Western "could have no connexion with any other of the main lines of railway." On a divi sion, the shareholders endorsed the recommendations of their engineer, and the controversy was for a time put an end to by the completion of the Great Wes tern as a broad-gauge railway. Years passed, and railways of a different gauge met Mr. Brunei's line at many points. Mr Brunel himself was the engi neer of various lines of narrow gauge, thereby ad mitting its practical sufficiency for railway traffic. The break of gauge eventually came to be viewed in the light of a public calamity. The intervention of Parliament was even called for, and a Royal commission was appointed to take evidence, and re port on the subject, which they did in 1846. But it was too late to remedy the evil. While an actual saving of capital would have been effected by the adoption of Mr. Hawkshaw's recomm en d at i on e i g ht years before, it was now tound that the alteration of the Great - Western lines from the broad to the nar row gauge would cost upwards of a million sterling. How was this amount to be raised a By the share holders or by the public ? The question was, in deed, felt to be surrounded with di ff i culty ; and all that the commission did was to recommend the future restriction of the broad-gauge lines to their own district. Since that time soniething has been done to remedy the original evil. The mixed gauge—that is the narrow gaug e within the broad —has been adopted, and is g r adually extending. The most recent application of thi s plan has been between London and Reading ; and the proprietors of the Great Western Railway will probably have to make up their minds before 1 - o n g to extend the narrow gauge to Bristol, if not throughout their entire system. Notwithstanding air B ru nel's great engineering skill, it is to be d oubted whether he possessed much of the gen i us of an original inven tor. He took up a principle alre a d y established, and pushed it further, exhibitie, a striking in light the development of which the ideas of others were capable. His ruling idea was magnitude; he had an ambition to make everythi ng bi gge r than he had found it. Thus, he found the railway gauge 4ft. 81in., and be increased it to 7ft., thereby in volving wider tunnels, more expen s i ve wo rks, and a heavier equipment in working stock. S o , in. the atmospheric railway, he found the tube in use on the Dalkey railway 15 in. in diameter, and on the South Devon line he doubled it. Then, in steam ships, his Great Western was nearly double the power and t o nnage of any previous steame • the Great Britain which followed, was double the ton nage of the Great Western; and, the Great Eastern exceeded in size all that the most imagi native shipbuilder had conceived to be pos sible. It was a race of bigness run against himself as well as others. 33ut in the case of the Great Eastern steamship, as of the Great Western Railway, it is not probable that Mr. Brunel's exam ple will be followed ; for it is now pretty well under stood that ships, like railways, may be made too big —at least, for those who own them. Notwithstand ing the want of success which attended Mr. Brunel's principal undertaking, he was well supported throughout by the moneyed interest. The share holders in the Great Western Railway not only readily found the capital which he required to carry out his splendid ideas with reference to that line, but they presented him with a handsome testimonial in ack now l e d gmen t o f hi s gen i us .

LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. The Canadian mail screw steamer North Ame rican, Captain Burgess, which left Quebec on the 2d inst., arrived in the Mersey at twelve o'clock last night. A telegraphic summary of the new has already appeared; The New fork Herald of the 31st ult. says :- - "No military movements are reported in General M'Clellan's army since our last. The wounded and sick continue to be sent down the river, and the personal attention of the General is unremitting. " A report was prevalent in Washington yester day, which originated with some contrabandists, that the rebels were evacuating Richmond. Large bodies of troops, it is stated, are crossing the James River and moving southward. It is pretty evident, however, that the movement of these troops means something very different from an abandonment of Richmond. " General Pope reached his head-quarters at Warrenton, Virginia, on Tuesday at noon, and was received with enthusiasm. The Secessionists ap reared to be considerably excited upon his arrival, but it is said are not disposed to take the oath of allegiance. A portion of General Siegel's advance drove out the rebel cavalry of Robertson from Ma dison Court House on Saturday without loss. The rebels are making no demonstration along the rail road near Gordonsville, though from information received there appears to be little doubt that Gen. Ewell has quite as large a force in that vicinity as we have before reported. " It was rumoured in Norfolk that the rebel gun boat New Merrimac, and a ram just finished in Richmond, intend to run through our fleet in. the James River, and attack the Minnesota and other vessels at Norfolk, and make an attempt to take the city. " A special dispatch from Vicksburg, on the 23d, recounts a gallant but unsuccessful attempt to cap ture the rebel ram Arkansas. It appears that ac cording to agreement between Commodores Davis and Farragut, the fleet from below was to engage the lower batteries, and the fleet above would en gage the upper ones, while the gun-boats Essex and Queen were in the meantime to attack the Arkansas and tow her out. In consequence of a misunderstanding only a few shells were fired from the mortars below, and had no other effect than to divert the fire from the Essex, which attempted to run into the Arkansas and jam her against the levee, but the latter swung round, and the Essex grazed her side. As she passed she gave the rebel craft three 11-inch shots from the bow guns. Upon finding herself unsupported she dropped down the river. The Queen, coming to her aid, ran into the Arkansas, making her tremble from stem to stern. Recovering herself, the Queen ran on her again, but so forcibly as to strain her own works badly. Both boats then returned up the river. "The guerillas in the West are becoming bold and troublesome. We learn from Louisville that the Kentucky wandering bands under Morgan took possession of Russelville on Thursday, after a col lision with the Home Guard, wounding a captain of Kentucky Volunteers, and killing two lieuten ants. To counteract this disaster it appears that on the following day a large party of guerillas from Boon county att ac k e d M ount S ter li ng , an d were re pulsed by the H ome G uard defend i ng th a t pl ace . During the retreat the guerillas were met by a party of the Bth Kentucky Volunteers, who drove them back towards the town, where they were again attacked by the Home Guard. The result was a complete stampede of the guerillas, who lost all their horses, eight killed, and 48 taken prisoners. The number of wounded is not known, the loss on our side was three wounded. This class of marauders, which seems now to comprise the remaining portion of the rebel armies in the South-west, have also shown themselves in large gangs, and are now en camped beyond the state line, in the counties of Howell and Texas. Our troops stationed at Hous ' ton, Texas county, however, are said to be numer ous enough to repress any advance of the guerillas. "We learn from a dispatch from Nashville that a rebel mail has been captured by our army. The letters contain valuable information. Beauregard has resigned, and gone to gone to the Springs in Alabama. Bragg is at Vicksburg with 20,000 men, but is scarce of horses. An artillery company from Georgia could not be supplied with either guns or horses. The rebel letters seized were from Tupello, Mississippi, 50 miles south of Corinth. The writers are anticipating the early re-occupation of Tennes see by rebel troops, and every rebel warlike indica tion favours the supposition. The rebels are re ported to have evacuated Lebanon, with the inten tion to mass their troops at a given point for a sudden dash on Nashville. "The guerillas along the Mississippi banks are equally active. Dispatches from Rolla, Missouri, state that at Stillville, on Sunday night, at least 1,500 mounted and armed men had crossed the State Road from Potosi to Jefferson, within 10 miles of that place. About 1,500 have organised, and put out from Salem and vicinity within the last three days. Within that time they have passed across the railroad in great numbers between Rolla and Mer rimac. They take horses, clothing, and ammuni tion, and supplies of every kind they wherever they find it. -Cairo,'brings;the " The steamer Platte Valley, to. boat Sallie news of the capture of the despatchboe Vicksburg. require, ood by the rebels 150 miles They took The rebels had a masked battery, and succeeded in hitting her steam pipe, disabling h and destroyed the boat. quite a number of prisoner:; and several wounded. way up.
