INERrooL, Sunday.
The royal mail steamer China, Captain Ander-
son, from New York on the 16th inst. (having been
detained from the 15th for despatches), arrived
here about five o'clock this afternoon.
The announcement of the fall of Port Hudson is
given in the following telegram, published in the
Richmond Examiner of the 14th inst.:—

" Mobile, July 13.
"To General Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector-

General.

" The New Orleans Era of the 10th announces the
unconditional-surrender of Port Hudson at seven
o'clock on the 9th inst.

" GEORGE G. GARDNER, Chief of the Staff."
The _Richmond Examiner also publishes the fol-
lowing official despatches concerning the Federal
attack on Charleston :

" Charleston, July 10.
"To General Cooper, Adjutant and Inspector..

General.

" At dark, on the 10th, the enemy obtained pos-
session of the southern portion. of Morris Island.
Four monitors engaged battery Wagner and the
battery atCumming's Point all day without damage
or casualties; but the losses in opposing the enemy
were severe-300 were killed and wounded, includ-
ing 16 officers. The enemy's loss is evidently
heavy. ,4 G. T. BEAITREGARD."

"To General Cooper.—July 10, 11.30 p.m.
" The enemy has a threatening force on the lower
front of James Nand along the stores, an attempt
was made to destroy the Savannah Railroad bridge,
but was foiled, with the loss of one steamboat.
I, G. T. BEAUREGARD:'
" To General Cooper.—July 13.

"There is nothing new since yesterday. The
enemy is engaged in .establishing long-range guns
in the middle of Morris Island, being aided by five
monitors. Three wooden gunboats are firing on bat-
teries Wagner and Gregg, on the north end of
Morris Island. " G. T. BEAUREGARD."
The gunboat Union arrived at Fortress Monroe
on the 14th inst. from Charleston, reports all of
Morris Island captured except Fort Wagner. The
enemy's loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners is
between 700 and 800. The attack commenced on
the 10th. The Union left on the afternoon of the
13th, at which time the siege of Fort Wagner was
progressing, with every prospect of a speedy cap-
ture. Five monitors were engaged.

thus announces the retreat of General Lee's army
across the Potomac. It says :

Ewell. As it was, the whole operation was timed
and given effect to as though the large and compo-
site host which takes its inspiration from General
Lee were moved by machinery. The march of Gen.
Ewell against Winchester was swift, silent, and
successful; the occupation of the three great gaps in
the mountain range was timed to a minute. In vain
did General Hooker start off a bpdy of his cvalry

one of the finest infantry divisions in the Confede-
rate army. In vain did the Federal cavalry and
General Pleasanton race forpossession of the next,
or Ashby's Gap, support Why a large holy of artil-
lery and infantry. There they found Gen. Stuart
and his cavalry thrown out in advance of the Gap
at a little place called Aldie, and here, on the 17th
and 19th inst., there were fierce skirmishes between
the antagonists, in the latter of which a Prussian
officer named Major aitin Borcke, the chief of Gene-
ral Stuart's staff, wall known to and much esteemed
by all English visitors who have recently repaired
to General Lee's army, received a severe wound
from a bullet in his neck, which passed between the
trachea and msophagus and lodged in the muscles
at the back of the neck. It cannot be denied that
the wound is a very serious one, but up to the 21st
inst., although the bullet could not be found, the
Major's condition was favourable and no bad symp-
toms had arisen ; but on the/ 21st the Federals had
advanced as far as a snail town called Upper-
ville, in which the Major was lying, and there is
much reason to fear that he was yesterday taken
prisoner. It will be understood that Upperville and
Aldie are considerably in advance of—that is to say,
to the east—of Ashby's Gap, and that General Lee
is only too anxious to draw the Federals on into the
gap. For this purpose General Stuart has been
unsupported by any infantry, and has constantly
fallen back to draw his opponents on. In this there
is little chance of his being successful, as the gap
could be held by one brigade against the whole of
General Hooker's army. Thirdly, at Chester's Gap
the road which traverses the mountain near Front
Royal has been seized by General A. P. Hill, and
with these three gaps in his possession, General
Lee can hold them if he pleases with insignificant
bodies of men, and behind the screen of the moun-
tains can play any pranks that he likes, unseen by
and beyond the reach of the baffled General
Hooker.
