RICHMOND, July 7.-Nothing of interest
has transpired here to-day. It is reported that
there was fighting this morning between our
forces ard the retreating Yankees in Charles
City County, but nothing is known of the en-
gagement (if any really took place. at the War
Office. The Weather is extremely hot.
CAPTURE OF YANKEE GuNBoAT-Infor-
nation having been received of the passage of
several Yankee gunboats up the Santee River,
two companies of sharp-shooters were placed
in ambush on the banks to intercept the ma
rauders. Upon their near approach, our men
fired upon them, and in attempting to turn and
retreat, one of the boats got aground and was
captured, some rs or 100 men on board being
killed. A few jumped overheard, and were
either shot or drowned. The other boats es-
capped. We hope soon to give more exact de-
tails of the gallant exploit, which has probably
saved the Northeastern Railroad Bridge, and
given the base Yankees merited punishment
for their villainous raid. Our people are alive
to their presence within our waters, and will
greet them warmly wherever they attempt to
advance Carolinian Of Wednesday.

The Resignation of Cameron.

The New York Times thus refers to
the cause Of the retirement of Cameron :;
We are not allowed to know the rea-
sons Of the President for this change, but
we can safely venture the opinion that it
results from his conviction that the coun
try desires and has long desired change
ltwon!d be use ass to derry, also, that Pres
ident and his friends felt that Mr. Gamer
on has not been recently sympathizing
with the Administration, but, on tie con
trarv, has been in active sympathy with
politicians in Washington who are zeal
ou,ly and bitterly opposing the Presiden,
and his measures.
The New York Tribune says editorial
ly.
Tho retirement of Gen. Cameron will
be attributed 10y some to his frankly ex
pressed views on tho "con,raband' ques-
tim, but I've are confilenD incorrectly.
Those who read the speech of Mr.. Dawes
in the House yesterday will be able to
give better guess at the true cause
Tue truth is that Gen. Cameron has had
very Improbable friends. He has been
surrounded and pressed upon BY troops
Of noisy well wisbers who would have
scorned the idea Of selling their God for
thirty pieces of silver so long As there
was the faintest hope of making it forty
The Cincinnati, Commercial SAYS:
The cause of Cameron's resignation will
probably be clear enough before long
The simple truth We imagine to be that
his management Of the War Department,
will not bear Investigation. His sudden
and violent attack of extreme ant; slavery
emotions, was nicely calculated; raising
up for him such thick and 'hn defenders
as the Chicago Tribune. BEFORE his nom
ina,ion as minister TO St. Petersburg is
confirmed, it would be we'll for the Senate
to avail, developments pending inquiries
as to the condition of his department.
The same paper speaking Of Holt
DIX and Stanton, who were members of
Bnchsnan'' cabinet expresses regret
that they had ever been removed, in the
following terms:
Their lofty patriotism and devotion to
country entitled them to consideration at
the hands of the incoming administration.
and IL Is nothing bit truth to say ,ba, had
the President elect retained them in his
cabinet instead Of resurrecting such fos-
slls m Gideon Weles and Edward Bates
and such political chalatan as Simon
Cameron, the cabinet, homogeneous as these
political elements were, would have been

'renched in the hearts OF the people than
