The Richmond Dispatch "a paper zealously
devoted to the Southern Confederacy) of the
ith instant, gives very different account of the
Sighting in that vicinity to the statements here
tofore published throughout the country. It APP
gears from this paper that there had been no
serious engagement from the time the enemy
succeeded in crossing the Chickahominy up to
.ho 6tb. In that engagement, the Dispatch
says the federals lost in killed, wounded, drown
ed and prisoners, at least 10000 men.
The St. Paul battalion was led into the fight
by Col Copper who was soon wounded; after
which the command devolyed upon Capt. Good
Win, Of the Crescent Blues. Hardly an officer
escaped without wound.
Gen Featherston's MssssippiaDs, were almost
aacimated-Iost in killed, wounded and missing
$40. Col Robert Hatton was promoted to a
general, and killed the same day, bravely lead
ing on his troops.
The federals at the battle near Hanover court
house, captured 900 Confederate prisoners.
The Dispatch contains full two columns in
small type, Of the names of those wounded and
killed in the battle near Richmond
The same paper says, several rumors we're cir
culated through the streets yesterday, regarding
the movements Of Gen. Stonewal Jackson
One Of these was that he had returned to the
vicinity Of Front Royal and had gained Veto
~ over Gen Shields, and vas now turning his
attention to general Dix and Fremont, who we're
marching against him with large force.
The Dispatch adds that it is reported by Gen.
Mitchell that Jere. Clemens and judge Mclean
are amongst the prominent Union-men in Hunts
vile, Alabama.

RULES THAT WILL NOT BE RELAxED.-I am not
introducing any new regulations for the conduct
of our citizens, but am only placing before them
those that every nation at war recognises as neces-
sary and proper,to be enforced. 1t is needless
therefore to say that they will not be relaxed On
the contrary | am butawaiting the assistance and
presence of the general appointed to the depart
ment to inaugurate the most ctfectual method for
their enforcement 1t is well to repeat them:
Trading with the enemy is prohibited under all
circumstances.
Travelling to and from New Orleans, and other
places occupied by the enemy, is forbidden. All
passengers will be arrested
Citizens going to those places, and returning
with the enemys usual passport will be arrested,
Conscript5 or militamcn, having in possession
such passports and seeking to shun duty under the
pretext of parole shall be treated as public enc
mics. No such papers will be held sufficient ex-
cuse for inacton by any citizen.

THE TINE Is UP-the die is cast, and the fate
of Vicksburg is sealed. With the evacuation of
fort Pillow followed the fall of Memphis, after
gallant but unsuccessful defence above the city
BY our cotton feet, under Gen jeff Thompson
and Capt. Ed. Montgomery We had hoped that
our government would hold the river above Mem
phis as long as we kept the enemy at bay here;
but it has seen fit to do otherwise, and now the
contest for this important stream is almost closed
We had a perfect confidence in the ability Of our
forces here to repel any attack of the enemy s
wooden feet from below, but we cannot expect
them to successfully cope with combined at
tack from above and below. All the other towns
on the river have fallen into their hands and now
their whole force viii be concentrated here
Our city must, therefore, we think, soon fall into
the hands of the enemy, and consequently it be-
hooves the people to calmly contemplate the
realities around them. Civil, political and indi-
vdul liberty will not only be destroyed, but all
traces of freedom obliterated Conquest booty,
revenge and destruction of our institutions are
the motives which animate the miserable hordes
which are now closing in around US.
Those who intend to remain here under the
rod of tyranny must make up their minds to 90
through a fiery ordeal, for when the foe gets full
possession of the city he will 'put the foot down
firmly Every man must, in these irving times
Judge and act for himself, pursuing that course
which free, educated, high spirited and chval-
ric people, struggling against great odds for the
preservation OF their birthright Of land and lib
crty, should and always do pursue But we
would remark that all should guard well against
taking the oath to support the federal govern
ment. Let none prove so recTeant to our dear
cause--none SO far forget themselves as to be
forced to swear allegiance to government so
obnoxious TO every southern heart. Sooner
would we welcome our winding sheet-sooner
would we suffer Incarceration in a dungeon, and
allow our bones to rot there than swear allegi-
ance to yankee government and its supports in
their unholy crusade. Vicksburg Wing.

SIR-I have the honor to report that this yes
sci. the Aroostook, the Monitor and Port Royal,
with the Naugatuck, moved up the river getting
aground several times, but meet no artificial i'm
pedinents until we arrived atWard's bluff, about
eightmiles from Richmond, where we encounter
ed heavy battery and two separate batteries,
formed by piles and steamboats, and sail vessels
The pilots both say they saw the jamestown and
Yorktown among the number
The banks Of the river were found lined with
rifles pits annoyed the men at the guns. These
would hinder the removal of the distractions,
unless driven away by a land force.
The Gtlena ran within about 600 yards Of the
battery, las near the spiies asst was deemed prop
er to COY let 90 her anchor, and With a spring a.
cross, swung across the stream, which is not more
than twice as wide as the ship is long. Then at
7:45 A. ", | opened fire upon the battery. The
wooden vessels, as directed, anchored about 800
yards below The Monitor anchored near, and
and at o'clock she passed just above the Galena,
but found her guns could NOT be elevated high
enough to reach the battery; she then droppeda
a little below US and made her shot effective.
At five minutes after / O'clock, the Galena
had expanded nearly all her ammunition, and
made signal to discontinue the action. We
had bat six parrot charges, and not single nine
inch shell. We had eighteen killed aud II
wounded. The rhed 100 pound parrot gun of
the Nangatuck burst half of the post abaft, the
trunnious going overheard. She istherefore dis
abled Lieut. Newman, the executive was con-
spicious for bis gallant and efficient service. Mr.
Washburne, acting master behaved admirably
These two are selected from among the number
The Aroostook, Port Royal and Naugatuck
took the stations previously assigned them, and
did everything that was possible Monitor could
not have done better. The barrier is such that
the vessels of the enemy, even if they have any,
cannot pass out. Ours cannot pass in.
have the honor to be your Obedient servant,
JOHN RODGERS,
Commanding q. s Navy
The following is the closing portion of the re-
port to Com. Jeffers who commanded the Moni-
tor:
The fire of the enemy was remarkably well
directed, but vainly towards this vessel. She
was struck three times-one solid s-inch shot
square on the turret, and two solid shot on the
side armor forward Of the pilot house. Neither
caused any damage beyond bending the plates.
am happy to report no casualties
In conclusion permit me say that the action
was most CALAMITY fought against great Odds and
with the usual effect against carthworks Solong
as our vessels kept up fire they rarely returned
our fire, but the moment the fire slackened they
