-" 1nifoy CuHE III
The ram Lioness, of Col. Elects feet,
arrived from Vicksburg last evening, al
8 o'clock, bearing dispatches. papers and
mail from Farragut's, Porter's and Davis
fleet of date Of July Cd, on the afternoon
of which day the ram departed for the
north. The more important portions of
the dispatches were given by the Captain
OF the Monarch, arriving on Thursday.
The canal across the point Of land OPP
posite Vicksburg had been nearly com
pletcd, the rebels firing upon the negro
workmen, but without effect, the range
being too high. The rams gathered the
negroes from plantations IN the Vicinity,
in all cases giving Government receipt
for them. Several thousand were engaged
on the work 1t was supposed that when
the ditch was finished the river would cut
wide channel during the high water,
and forever leave Vicksburg, what there
may be left of it, an inland village, and
should tho rise now prevailing reach that
place the project will prove successful
The bombardment was kept up from both
fleets at short intervals. When the Ii
oness left the rebel batteries It'll replied
occasionally. Farragut and Porters fleet
were below the works, and Com. Davis
was above. The latter arrived on Wednes-
day without accident and commenced
work Immediately in concert with The Gull
fleets. It is the impression of the officers
coming up, naval and miita,y, that ere
this tho flag of the Union floats over the
works at Vicksburg. 1t was well known
in the Federal fleet that it was the inten-
ton to take it by storm on the Fourth Of
July. There is every reason to believe
that the place has already fallen. The
city had not been destroyed by the bonn
bardment us previously stated, but has re-
c,iycd considerable injury. Il appeared
That the women and children lad been re-
moved, as well As all non-eumbatart resi-
dents. 1t was reported that the rebel
force was about 10000. The story
reached the Federal feet that several hun.
dred rebels had already been killed by ex-
plosion Of shells in their midst. These
seem to intnnda,e and weaken their
force very materially. Full particulars
will undoubtedly reach here tomorrow

Encouraging Account From Rich
mend.
Special to World
Washington, July 6.

Washington, July o.
An officer of high rank from McClel-
lan's army who has visited Washington
gives the most encouraging account Of af-
fairs which has yet been received here /.
He states that our army is much larger
than is currently reported in view Of onr
late losses, and that it is in a perfectly
secure position, either for offensive or de.
icnsiye moyemcnta, and this without the
aid Of gunboats. Even the officers and
civilians who are constantly arriving here
continue to give fabulous accounts OF the
~ aaber OF the rebel forces preclpated
upon Mcclellan in the battles. And vet
unofficial information received here per-
sists in saying that Beauregards ar
my or most of it is still in Mississippi.
Ii this be SO the rebel force must have
been increased to its present number at
Richmond by rapid CONSUMPTION.
Senator Clark will leave for New Hamp-
shire in day or two to recruit new re-
giment.
Senator Dixon has already gone to
Connecticut for the same purpose.

A former employee of the NJ. 4 o. r.
r., from Mobile, via Tapello, says: Two
gunboats and one ram arc in the Mobile
Bay and about 10, 900 troops below Mobile
on the Shell road He says Notifications

are now completed the inhabitants ina
CINE that Mobile cannot be taken.
He says Bragg is in command at lapel

left there with 10000 men. All the
troops were short Of clothing and provi-
sions, have bacon twice each week, no
coffee or salt. Rebels say the time will
come to retake Corinth, and rebel impress
sion generally is that majority of our
troops have gone East.
It's unanimous testimony Of scouts, de-
serters and spies that no rebel troops ex-
cept cavalry hive gone East.

pU- President Lincoln told the Quakers
that he still believed that this country
would eventually become all free or all
slave. To-day the chances are evenly
balanced, and under Providence the
re possibility Of turning the scale, one
way or the other, rests upon the Pres:
dent Of the United States. 1t is ut his
option to make this great country slave
Empire, or 10 realize the ardent wish Of
Washington. and make it, ere long, IN en-
tire Confedcracy Of free States.

One of the most satisfactory proofs Of

which it is remarkable pro-slayery an

is the fact that yon cannot beat through

conclusion that the pate of the negro is
all skull, without any brains whatever.

APPEARANCE, goes a good ways. Good
looks are a ready introduction to good
society, and not uufrequently place man
above the level which his wit or wisdom
would assign him. One of the most i'm

1T Monroe, July ..
Fresh troops arrived here from Wash

up James river on the evening of the 4th.
Four small steamers with four barges
in tow arrived at TT Monroe this morning,
loaded with artillerymen, horses, &c,
doubtless bound up the river.
A skirmish took place yesterday morn
ing near our left wing. which resulted in
the defeat of the rebels We took / 700
rebel prisoner: and three small batteries.
Our cavalry followed them till they passed
beyond the White Oak Swamp.
Great difficulty exists in obtaining a
list of Killed in our late battles, as COM
paratively few cases exist where any one
can tell whether the missing were killed,
wounded or taken prisoners.
For the last two days the rebels have
shown but little disposition to gght. and
yesterday relinquished their grounds and
batteries almost without resistance.

The Character and Aims af the South

The Character and Aims af the South.
The London Neus, in an article rebukin:
the secessionists in England, thus defines tn.
character and aims of the South
But further, the character and known aims
Of the south were from the first such as tt
attract to its service the most eminent military
ability. AS soon as secessions became fact
there was not an officer in America who die
not know that the confederacy would open tn.
most brilliant career to the professional sol
dier. The notion that the south was to re-
main small group Of states quietly growing
cotton in a corner Of the American continent
was one which assuretlly no southerncr ever
entertained. Its leaders have promised to
make it great empire by seizing neighborins
countries. Conscious ofthcir moral isolation
and chatting under the verdict which the world
passes upon their fundamental institution
they have resolved that they will have at
least one thing which the world has always
respected-power 1t was not ty accident or
caprice that Lee, johnson, and 20 many othc,
of the most ski'lful officers Of the Union in !:
moment left the old gov. rnmcnt, and took ur
with the new confcdracy. Nor was the ven.
ture so great as It seemed. Those officer.
knew the slave power by long acquaintance
knew its burning ambition knew that AN.
bition had no peaceful scope, but was shut up
to military achievement; knew that it had
been conversant with daring schemes Of ag.
gression, and could crafty military tastes and
reward military merit.
Such, then, is the slave power, complete
and committed to conquest, the
most formidable organization Of barbarism
the world has ever seen. ~.5
