RICHMOND GOSSIP.

"Hermes," the Richmond correspon-
dent of tie Charleston Mercury, writes
under date of the esd as follows:
There is literally "trouble in the
camp Objection is made to Gen.
Johnston's resuming his command, lie
is entitled to it, or else a wound becomes
a badge of disgrace but Lee is thought
the safer man, and all things must yield
to the country's safety. A. P. Hill is
under arrest by order of Longstreet, and
there Is a quarrel between D. Ii. Hill and
Toombs. Reliable" says Hill called
Toombs a coward on the field. and after
the battle Toombs challenged him. The
challenge was declined on religious
grounds but the epithet was re-applied.
Iagruder has been recalled from the
command of the Trans Mississippi De-
partment, on account of the charge of
iucompetency preferred by Col. Chiffon,
formerly OF the Adjutant Generals Office,
now on Lees staff.
These troubles should alarm nobody.
War is quarrelsome business. espe-
ciaily in a free country, where every
man is as good as any other man, and
better. too. We hate the Yankees none
the less on account of these quarrels
After we have whipped them, we can
fight each other in comfort.

LOUISVILLE, July q, 1862.
General Order No. 81
The following general order is issued.
to be enforced by military commanders
in the district of Kentucky:
No person hostile in opinion to the
government and desiring its overthrow
will be allowed to stand for Office in the
district of Kentucky. The attempt of
such person to stand for Office will be
regarded as in itself sufficient evidence
of his treacherous intent to warrant his
arrest. He who desires the overthrow
of the government can seek Office under
the government only to promote its over
throw. In seeking Office he becomes an
active traitor, if be has never become
enc otherwise. and as liable both in rea-
son and in law to be treated accordingly.
All persons of this description who per
sists in offering themselves as candidates
for office will be arrested and sent 10

= The Yankees did not withdraw their

on their late retirement. They left about
six hundred and fifty men. who were
strongly entrenched in bomb-proof ditch

It is said that mosquitoes have taken

1t is difficult to find out what is going

much Of marches to be made and battles
to be fought, but when, as newspaper

what is going on. Some think cavalry

ST. Louis July o6.-Considerable ex
element existed to-day at the British
consul's Office, in consequence of a large
number af persons claiming the protec-
ton of the British flag to exempt them
from enrolment in the militia under the
recent order of the government. There
was an excited crowd around the office,
among whom were many indignant cit
izens. to punish perddy in American
residents having families, doing a bust
ness permanently located here, who, in
the hour of peril, seek to sneak from du
ty by enrolling themselves as subjects of
Great Britain. Numerous arrests were
made Several affrays and struggles oc~
Cured between disturbers and policemen.
One or two attempts at resistance being
made by arrested parties, detachment
of the provost guard was ordered out,
and by timely exertion they were sup
pressed.

The New York correspondent Of the
London Times, after pointing out the
difficulties of he present position Of the
Union forces. contends that the capture
of Richmond will make no difference,
but merely transfer the war further
South. So there is at least one Yankee
who does tell the truth.

SOUR GRAPES.

The Memphis Bulletin, of Saturday,
says:
According to the Cairo Gazette, Com
Davis fleet will be temporarily with
drawn from Vicksburg for the purpose of
operating along the river between that
city and Memphis. The capture of Vicks-
burg. now that the rebels are struggling
with some prospects of success. to regain
their lines in Tennessee, does not seem
so desirable as it was. The possession
of that place now could be of no possible
advantage to US.
We also clip the following items from
the same paper:
1t Is reported :hat our respected and
estmable fellow citizen, DR.. Lettwich,
was taken prisoner by the enemy during
the late raid north of us we hope the
rumor may prove incorrect.
Since writing the above We have acer-
tanned that the report is true. The doc
tor and another gentleman of this city,
were in the lower edge of Fayette county
buying cotton, when they were taken by
a party of Jackson's cavalry The two
had with them, when they left this city,
S25. 900, mostly 10 gold.
Passengers from Helena, by the Mark
r. Cheek. report that there is continual
crossing of Confederates at and near
Walnut Bend, some thirty five miles
above Helena. They go across in
skiffs, and swim their horses. How many
have crossed in this way we have no
means of knowing, but the number is
supposed to be very considerable.
Unless the signs of the times fail US,
we may yet hear something exciting
from Arkansas, Camden or some other
point-perhaps Little Rockville be the
theater of exciting scenes.

The GALLANT DEAD.-Among the
many young men who have fallen in de-
tense of the Confederate capital, none
were more lamented than Lieutenant
Colonel John G. Taylor. of the Cd Mis-
sissippi Battalion, and Captain Geo. p.
Foote, the Adjutant- General of General
W. s. Featherstone. Colonel Taylor
was a native of Kentucky, and one of the
most elegant officers of the regular army.
Captain Foote was young lawyer of
Pamela county. noble, hightoned, geuer-
Gus and brave to fault. He fell lead
ing the 18th Mississippi to the charge on
the morning of the eth, after the gallant
Major Lilly. had been
wounded and was compelled to leave the
field.
