Della says: 1--WE are in possession of
Mobile papers to she Cd inst, containing
a series of kilograms from Richmond and
other points. The substance of these
dispatches is that Mcclellan has been
defeated. We reproduce these tele-
grams, because versions of them are in
the hands OF spectators, imposing on
the public but we do nat believe them.
IL they are true, all that can be gained
BY repplse of the Union army, is to
prolong the struggle" x
The Picayenc copies the Della with this
heading:
Editors Picay,me-Gents: There is in the
city, and you have had in your office
an extra, which set right all the news
from Richmond, down to the Cd of
July. Why desire to publish false intel
ligence? $50
Tho Mobile Tribune says the following
is reliable: "On the 4th of July at New
Orleans, a boat load of British tars from
the British man-ofwar, Rinalio, while APP
preaching the levee, burst out singing
some Of our patriotic war songs-among
them, "Bonnie Blue Flag" Butler sent
word to the Captain Of the vessel that he
did not permit such demonstrations
The Captain replied that he did, and he
was responsible.
The same nighta ball was given aboard
the vessel, and among the decorations
were the Confederate flag.
A special to the Tribune from Grenada
the 9th, says the defeat of Mcclellan in
Virginia is reluctantly confessed by
few. correspondents of Northern papers.
The Cincinnati Commercial expresses fears
TINT the defeat will preeipiiate European
Intervention; and advises that prepare
ton be made to resist any dictation from
France or England.
On the 9Th day of the battle, McClel-
lan's French staff officers left him and
proceeded home on the first boat. They
will doubtless carry reliable news to their.
country.
1t isreported that another Federal gun
boat has been sunk by our batteries on
White river.
MOBILE, July 10.--A special to the Tri-
bune from Grenada to-day, says passen-
gers from Memphis last night say intel
ligenee was received. there on Monday,
that Gen. Hindman captured Curtis with
5000 prisoners on the 5th.
The report that 1000 Federals were
captured at Baton Rouge, is untrue.
Col. Fitch, being unable to reach Curtis
with reinforcements, returned to Mem
phis with his command on Sunday.
SECOND DISPATCH.
A special to the Aducrtiscr from Jack
son to-day, says the enemy are throwing
occasional shells into Vicksburg. 1t is
that they are busy digging a
canal across the bend of the river, a few
miles from town.
The crops are suffering for rain.
