From North Carolina we hear that the
Rebels will probably make q stand at Fort
Macon, a strong work guarding the ap.
proach to Beaufort. A prominent clergy
man has declared that should the Govern

1000 of the cities of the State would flock
to the Union standard.
From Cairo, Gen Grant has gone over
aud taken possession of Paducah, Ky. lie

and the rebel Gag was torn down with a
vengeance by the loyal citizens.
Reports from Pensacola represent tha

Wednesday Evening, July q ls6l
The general Money market to-day was exceed
iBgiy quiet Our community, mercantile, financial
and social, being ON q war footing, the glorious
success Of our arms goes to strengthen our inan-
eial position and creates confidence in the future
In common with vast majority of our mercantile
community we look upon the success of the South
as d fixed fact. There is timidity on the part Of
some citizens, who never have felt the effects of
war. They comment on hard times and scarcity
of money, #henWe are in perfect paradise com
pared to the eventfnl periods of 1872 to
Il 1887 and IS4g-the first period of combat with
Great Britain, the second time of commercial de-
PRESTON the last the effects of one Of the gigantic
and stnnendous commercial and political specnla-
tons, second only to the great famous wscheme
and sea bubble speculation of the last century,
The frequent remarks, that there was never snch
pressing in commercial circles as the present are
misplaced.
We hare nothing to say on the paper market.
Some few transactions occur, but as there is no
regular business that will Justify more than l0t@l2
get " annum interest," there must be some strong
pressure TO justify higher rates.
In Exchange there were some small sales of
Sterling At lI84 at the banks. Outside the rates
range from l0s4@109a. There are some inquiries
10 this effect, f How will the cotton be moved next
season I q As regards the sequel Of this inquiry,
we have only to say that the cotton will not be
stoUed at ALL only under certain contingencies. 1t
Will remain under the sheds and in tho gn-Iouses
on plantations. Some of our merchants talk Of the
opening Of business In October next with as much
confidence as that the sun will rise tomorrow.
Some citizens think that our Confedsracy should
+ make the Issues of the Bank of England legal
tender On this point argument or debate is I'M
necessary. 1t is bold suggestion to advance,
that our Confederacy should recognize the paper
money from Threadneedle street as legal tender.
Is it forgotten that the Bank Of England was under
suspension for the long period Of twentysix years
And it is coolly recommended that our Congress
should legaiize the issues Of the old grandmarm,
and our Treasury notes be prescribed as currency.
Our Congress has gone as far as can reasonably be
expected in sanctoning the sovereigns or gold of
England as legal tender. Further than this it is
unsafe to go. Creating our treasury notes a tender
is all that ought to be expected IL England de-
sires cur cotton, she can have it. either for her
manufactures or for her gold, but spare US from
the infections of her paper money or that of the
ether powers of the European continent.

The Campaign in virginia-Desperate
Condition OF the Rebel Forces.

The late splendid and invaluable achieve
ments of General Mcclellan in Western Vir-
ginia open the way to still greater triumphs in
the East. The rebel forces Of ten thousand d.
rectly opposed to Mcclellan having been
beaten, disarmed and dispersed, he may now
move enthusiastically towards Tennessee, or
eastwardly by way of Cumberland or Romncy to
u junction with Gen. Patterson. But as the
column of Patterson, without further additions,
is believed to be amply sufficient to dislodgc or
capture that of Johnston, and as the army in
front of Washington, on the south side of the
Potomac, is now some sixty thousand strong
we shall be disappointed if we do not very
soon hear some stirring news from Winchester
and the Manassas junction.
To enlighten the general reader as to the dis
tribution of the contending forces in Virginia,
brief geographical explanation will not here
be out of place. The State of Virginia, with
a superficial area nearly a third larger than
New York, consists of three great dvi-
sions. First-Eastern, Or old Virginia,
or that portion of the State (the great
saveholding section) which lies between
the Blue Ridge chain Of mountains on the west
and the Potomac river, Chesapeake Bay and
the Atlantic Ocean on the east. Second--The
Great Valley, which is bounded on the east by
the Blue Ridge, and on the west by series of
broken ridges belonging to the extensive Ale
ghany system of mountains. This valley runs
enthusiastically from Pennsylvania through
Maryland and Virginia, down into Tennessee,
and is from ten to twenty-five miles in width
Third-Western Virginia, lying between the
Great Valley and the Ohio river. This regica
is a vast labyrinth Of mountains, narrow vail
leys, deep rayines, and swift rivers and
elevated table lands and endless forests. It is
sparsely inhabited by sturdy and patriotic
white Union loving population, who, possessing
only Niger or two, here and there, have
failed to comprehend the blessings of Yancey's
independent and unmixed pro-slayery con
| federacy.
| The first Of these grs1d divisions of the statt
Is the great battle gfound Of this war, Of which
Richmond, at pre.Aent the national capital of tn,
Confederate ssates, is the prize to be retainei
by them OF lost. Looking towards Richmond
there are sope fourteen thousand troops unde

We give in another part Of the HERALD an ac-
count, with explanatory diagrams of the famous
retreat of Colonel Siege near Carthage, Missouri.
1t is represented being one of the most mastery
military man9uvres in the history of the country.
The Southern account of this engagement is the
most udicrous of any that has yet been given. 1t
commences with the announcement, in large let
ped; that he had one thousand seven hundred killed
and two thousand seven hundred taken prisoners.
The number of wounded is not given; but if the
usual proportion of injured Is added to the killed,
they would make his whole force according to this
account, about nine thousand, when in reality Colo
mel Siege had only about eleven hundred men.
The account further says that General Lyon was
taken prisoner, and that among the killed were
Colonies Solomon Kallman, Wolff and B. Crate
Brown.
The regiment of Chicago Zouaves under Colonel
Turchin, attached to which is company Of light
artillery, left Chicago the 18th inst bound for
the seat of war in Missouri
| The work of impressment has been carried on to
such an extent in New Orleans as to reach subjects
| Of foreign nations owing no allegiance to this
| country; and some of the consus having entered
complaints against such practices to the Governor
Of Louisiana, that functionary was forced to issue
proclamation warning all military officers to de.
sist from using improper or violent means to bring
such foreign horn citizens into the military service.
