BALTIMORE, July 3O.-The report that
the Confederates had given the troops at
Newport News notice to quit. appears to
have been incorrect. Their flag OF truce
was for another purpose.
A Lieutenant of the Naval Brigade, who
accompanied the flag of truce from Inmp-
ton to Newport News, reports that there
is large body of secessionists near New
Market Bridge. The rebels here are very
iuquisltive rs to our batteries near Hamp-
ton, the ritled cannon in the Fortress and
the regiment of mounted riiemen, expect
ed at Old Point, of which they seemed 10
be apprehensiye.
Maj. Whittemer has been succeeded in
command of the Naval Brigade by Capt.
Holiday.
On the arrival of the steamer at Bnlti-
more with Duryea's regiment, on Satur-
day, several contraband negroes who had
Struggled themselves on board, were mr.

at the instance of the Colonel
Among tie troops taken to Fortress
Monroe by the steamer Pocahontas, were
$50 of the 18th Pennsylvania, under COM
ccRud of Capt. John Miller.

RS" BACK AGAIx.-The illustrious Will
liam Wesley Porter, with whose name ana
presence our renders are familiar, but who
has for some time been absent, perhaps at
the wars, has returned. He was, as usual,
yesterday evening, conducting himself in a
disorderly manner, and was taken to the
dear old familiar boarding house on Fifth
street, within whose walls he has spent so
many happy, lazy days, playing checkers
with his nose through the iron bars. Will
liam is very accomplished drinker. His
superior talent in that line is everywhere
acknowledged. In short he has reduced the
power of absorption to a science and stands

ES%GAs.-The city has aicOntract with
the Gas Company to furnish light for the
streets The gas company is under no OBJ
legations to light the lamps when the
moon is supposed to shine. II the moon
is obseurcd at such times as it is advertis-
ed to shine by the almanacs, the gas COM
pauy has nothing to do with 1t. As far as
that is concerned the city must trust to
luck. And we have been thinking that no
contract was ever more faithfully perform
ed TO the letter. If the moon is due at II
o'clock ut night, down goes the lamps. 1t
does not seem to make particle of differ
ence whether the moon shines or not, or
whether 1t be full or no bigger than a mans
hand, the almanac says it is on duty and
the gas company takes it for granted that
she will perform her part. To newspaper
ineu, and others necessarily compelled to
be out late. this is very troublesome. We
are not afraid of being rubbed, but there
are cutters and sewers, and not unfrequent-
ly store-boxes on the way. We presume
it is emiueatly proper, in an economical
point of view, to have the sort of contract
we have indicated, but would it not be
well to modify it so that the gas company
would be compelled to keep the lamps
burning whenever the moon does not
sinner

the air with wild huzzas as his well-known
face and figure were discovered
| Though travel-woru aud evidently f.i-
! tigned by the trying scenes through which
he had passed in the last two days, the
President could not deny the enthusiastic
citizens the pleasure of hearing from his
own mouth something of the glorious
deeds so recently achieved by our brave
I and inVincible patriot soldiers.
I In a strain of fervid eloquence, he eulo-
gized the courage, the endurance and pat
riotism OF our victorious troops; and to
the memory Of our honored dead, who
shed their life's blood on the battle field
IN the glorious cause of their country,
he paid glowing tribute, which could
not fail to dim with tears tile eyes of the
/ least feeling among his hearers.
| He pronounced the victory great, glori-
ons and complete. He said we had whip-
ped them this time and would whip them
as often as they offered US the opportu-
nifty.
ARRIVAL OF PRISONERS.
This unannouuced arrival of our Presi-
dent took the citizens by surprise Had
they known of his coming, such an ova-
! ton would have greeted his return as
never before was witnessed in the Old
| Dominion.
Just behind the train which brought the
President, there arrived second. bring
ing five hundred and eighty-f1e Hessian
prisoners, twenty-five of whom were COM
missioned officers, and thirty of Ellsworth's
Fire Zouaves. Passengers by this train
inform us that several hundred other pris-

our troops continued to bring them in

our citmp and delivered themselves up.
The five hundred and eighty-five brought
70 this city were Immediately marched to
Harwoods factory.
SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN BIGoTEY.
An officer of the army, who arrived here
yesterday, says that he witnessed the onset
of our soldiers, the Arkansas regiment, he
believes on the New York ZouaTes, and
that it was terrible spectacle. They
threw down their guns and made the
| charge with their brandished bowie knives.
The Zouaves ut first seemed pctrified with
amazcment. Then, as their assailants
knocked aside their bayonets, and fell upon
them with thei= furious blades, they fairly
screamed with terror; and fled in the ut
most CONSERVATION. They were nearly ex-
terminated.
The Richmond Wing, of the 25th, says
The train brought down some six hun
dred prisoners. and there are about 200
more 10 come. There are sixty.fve officers
among them.
1t is not yet possible to determine the
number of killed and wounded of the enc
envy. The probability is, that the sum to-
tai will not fall short of 10000.
Our own casualties will not exceed !, 200.

LOUISVILLE, July 3o.-The Memphis Ap.
peal is urging planters to keep their cotton
at home. 1t says. Should the usual guam
tity be brought to Memphis, say 100000
bales, and be stored in our warehouses, this
fall, the temptation for the enemy to essay
its capture would be extremely great, par
ticularly as cotton will be very scarce at
the North next winter. Itwould be tanta-
mount indeed to offering twenty millions
bonus for the invasion of the Mississippi
Valley and for successful expedition
against Memphis.
A despatch from Richmond to the Char
lesion Courier, of the 25th, says Col. Wade
Hampton and Gen. E. Fl. Smith, who were
wounded, are doing well. The same des-
patch says the Federal loss Mt Manassas
was about 800 killed, 5000 wounded and
1000 prisoners. The confederate loss was
about 300 killed and 1900 wounded.
