The following telegram has been received from
Cork :
(Per City of Washington, from Cork, Aug. 14,
10 40 p.m.)
NEW YORK, AuG. 2.
The situation of 31‘Clellan in the peninsula in-
spires great anxiety. His army is suffering se-
verely from scurvy, and he receives but few rein-
forcements. The prospect of immediate evacuation
is openly canvassed.

The Confederates are in great force at Richmond
and on the James River.

Their batteries on the bank opened fire yesterday
on the Federal mail boats' landing, and the head-
quarters of Colonel Ingall.

Some of the Federal shipping was damaged ; four
men were killed and five wounded.
Vicksburg is still unconquered.
An unsuccessful attempt was made on the 22d
ult. to capture the Confederate ram Arkansas, in
which the Federal gunboats Queen and Essex re-
ceived severe damage.

General Pope's troops continue to forage upon the
farms in the vale of the Shenandoah.
The people refuse to take the oath of allegiance.
The recruiting in answer to the President's call
for 300,000 men makes little or no progress.
Money continues to be liberally subscribed for
the Volunteers, but the men do not offer them-
selves.

(Per City of Washington, by Telegraph via Roche's

Point.)
NEW YORK, AUG. 2.

A proclamation issued by the Governor of Ir.en-
tucky, calling the Legislature of the State
together, is considered treasonable in rArpose.
Ex-GovernorWickliffe, of Kentucky, lately made
a speech declaring that to save thy, Union it was
necessary to throw over all Abolitionists, and
denouncing the emancipation, and confiscation
policy.

(By Telegraph to Cape Race and from Queens-

town.)

NEW YORK, AUG. 4 (Evening).
President Lincoln has called for another 300,000
men for nine months, in addition to the 300,000
already required.

Draughting is to commence immediately.
The President has declined to accept the negro
regiments as soldiers, but will avail himself of
them as labourers.

A force from Gen. M'Clellan's army has made
a reconnaissance to Within 14 miles of Peters-
burg. After slight fighting the Federals destroyed
the Confederate camp at Sycamore Church posi-
tion.

Gen. Pope's force has crossed the Itapedan, and
captured Orange Court-house, driving thence two
regiments of Confederate cavalry.

AUG. 57 AFTERNOON,
President Lincoln has officially ordered 300,000
men to be draughted from the Militi,, to serve for
nine months. If the 300,000 Volunteers previ-
ously called for are not enrolled by the 15th of
August, the deficiency will be made up by a
special draught from the
Despatches from Genf:ral Pope's command state
that it is believed the Confederates have really
evacuated Richmond, and taken up the south
bank of the Jar.nes River as their line of defence.
A Washington despatch says there is reasonable
suspicion that pestilence in Richmond was the cause
of its evacuation.

GENERAL GARIBALDI TO THE WOMEN
OF ROME.

PALERMO, JULY 23.
Noble Women of Rome,—lt is now 13 years
since I had the good fortune to fight on the Jani-
culum in the defence of Rome; and after having
fought those glorious battles I believed that I should
carry with me—and the few Who, like me, did not
despair—the same success 'which had attended our
arms in Rome beyond her boundaries. But the
times were unpropitious, and I was driven forth
into a strange land by the power of those tyrants
within and without Italy who were leagued against
the lawful sovereignty of the Roman people.
In exile, as ever, I remembered with affection the
city of great memories. How could I, indeed, forget
her? And when, after the last Italian battles, a
road was opened towards Rome—l flung myself
into it with the energy of a lover rushing to his
mistress, of a child to his nursing mother.
At the Cattolica, at the Volturno, with my brave
companions, we were stopped by the same hand
which had stabbed the liberty of Rome to the heart,
as it has killed liberty everywhere. There we again
found the apostate of the revolution barring the
way whirJh led to you, and allying himself more
closely to the sacerdotal vampire, becoming his ac-
complice in his lust of dominion.

Nevertheless, we shall return to the assault;
nevertheless, we will not lose the hope of seeing you
%gain. Once more we shall take in your hearing—'
one hand on our hearts, the other on our daggers--
the oath we swore upon your hills to set you free,
or to be buried under your eternal temples.
Matrons of Rome, "Rome or Death!" has re•
sounded in the land of Sicilian Vespers. Hope
then ! From that land of volcanoes shall arise such
a flame that it shall burn the throne of tyrants.
Rome or Death !" I have heard it echoed from
the gentle slopes of Sebeto to the rude acclivities of
the Alps. " Rome or Death !" have sworn the proud
sons of Palestro and of Palermo. Oh ! ye Roman
women, blaspheme not, saying Rome is the land of
the dead, as if there could be dead in the heart of
Italy, in the heart of the world ! What ! The
tyrant enchains the slave, but he does not kill him.
Even if the ashes of Rome were buried, and with
them the ashes of her brave sons, immolated by the
false priest and tyrant, those ashes are pregnant
with life sufficient to regenerate the universe.
Rome is a name which shall revive the multitudes,
as the tempest raises the waves—Rome, the mother
of Italian greatness. Was not her history that of
giants ? Are not her ruins marvels ? There rise
up in my soul the energy, the ardour, the warlke
youthfulness, the burning generous desires of 20
years, at the soand, Rome. Oh, Rome! who that
utters thy name hut must burn to redeem thee!
If there be such an one he never merited the gentle
caresses of a mother, the fervid kiss of a mistress.
Let his worthless heart return to the filth whence
it sprung.

I am with you until the death, women of Rome.
And what have I to do, if it be not to give the re-
mainder of my life, so that you be no longer slave°
in your own. land ? lam with you when you feel
the shame of your servitude. Meanwhile, like the
vest‘l of old, cherish in the hearts of men the sacra'
fireff l which you. The hour is not far
o Italy shall redeem
wills
toha
have Victor Emmanuel at Rome,
and she shall not be deceived.
