The Soldiers Rest.

There is TO place in the Confederacy, we
venture to say. better attended to or better pro-
vidcd for, than the Soldiers Rest in our Town
Hall. The situation is admirable, roomy and
well ventilated. Every attention is given by
the ladies, physicians and nurses. 1t has been
of great service to many of our sick and
wounded men, some of whom had been re-
ceived there in rather hopeless condition, and
by the careful and assiduous attention of those
in charge, have been restored to health again
True, we are not in the situation to have as
many recipients as some other localities, but
all who do pass through must have grateful
recollection of the ladies of Camden. In their
ministration they feel that they are but dis
charging duty they owe their countrywide
priving themselves of many little homo COM
forts, and many leisure hours of enjoyment, to
stand by the bedside of the wounded and dy-
ing, minister to their many wants, and whisper
to them the joyful consolation of an immortal
ity beyond the grave. How beautifully have
the warm sympathies of our wives, mothers
and sisters been called forth in deeds Of charity
and kindness. Truly it may be said, under
God we will owe our independence, in great
degree, to the women of the South from their
zeal in our struggle at its dawn, and continued
interest in its onward movement.

JACKSON, Miss, July 26.-Both the fleets of
the enemy have abandoned Vicksburg, the
lower fleet passing Natchez yesterday evening.

Vicksburg.

McCIcllan's Losses.

A gentleman who was recently at Fortress
Monroe, mingled freely with the authorities
there and heard much of their unreservcd con-
10000 effective men, when the recent fights
before Richmond commenced Of this number,
it is positively asserted that lie lost exactly one
third, 10000. This loss was from all causes
viz: killed, wounded, missing, sick, and those
So worn out from exhaustion as to be totally
unfit for service. This statement is confirmed
by an acknowledgement of Lincoln, when
pressed by distinguished citizen of Ohio, then
in Washington, for the whole truth. Old Abe
confessed that Mcclellan had a disastrous de-
feat, and that he had asked for rcinforcemcnts
to the extent of $4,000 men.
gentleman from Richmond yesterday, as
ccrtaincd from sources entitled to the fullest
credit, that AS some of the fruits of the recent
victories around Richmond, we have secured
$4,000 stand of small arms; over 60 cannon,
the greater portion ofthcm superior field pieces;
between 700 and 500 horses and mules; thou
sands and thousands of bullets; a large quantity
of powder, but slightly damaged; pickaxcs,
shovels and spades, almost beyond computa-
ton; overcoats, India rubber and oil cloth blan
kcts, knapsacks canteens, etc. So it will be
seen that, after all the falsehoods of the North
ern journals, the defeat of Mcclellan was most
signal and his losses immense Rather an ex-
pensve "change of basc," we should think
