EXToRTIoNIsTs IN HEDELDoM.
From the Richmond Examiner, July q,

From the Richmond Examiner, July p.
In the developments of the war we are
waging there is one lasting stigma on its
moral character. We refer to the almost
universal rage in the South of the vile
lusts Of ayarice and extortion, in which
native Southern merchants have Outdone
Yankees and Jews, and have not only
defled themselves, but inflicted burning
disgrace upon the nation, prostituted a
noble war to the most infamous purposes,
and blackcned their country in the eyes
of the world.
The tcllole South sti,lkS toith tie lust Of err
t0ytiOn. The extent TO which il prevails
in this city is enormous and shameless; trade
is reduced to q devilish art to make mon
ey out Of the distresses Of humanity; and,
that hypocrisy may be added to other
diabollcal accomplishments, the eXtOr-
tionists take the upper seats in church,
talk patriotism, and give into the sub
scription box small pinchings from enOr-
nous gains3 dandy preachers and hospi-
tai matrons take these filthy gifts Of the
plundcrers of society as tokens Of the
liberality and patriotism Of the donors.
The lengths TO which corruption has
gone in this community are almost incred-
ible A single instance may serve as
an illustration. Through the active and
enlarged exertions Of the government
clothing bureau in this city, contracts
have been made with a number of mills
in the South, by whichit has been agreed
that they shall furnish supplies for the
army at stipulated prices. Some days
ago an officer purchased at this bureau
for his use piece of cloth at two dollars
and sixty cents a yard, This, the gov
eminent price was largely remuneratiyC
to the manufacturer; it paid him a con-
siderable profit, and he was satisfied tC
obtain that without grasping for the ut
| termost gains of avarice and eXtortion
The price of the same style Of cloth, ma
nufactured at our doors in Richmond, wa'
inquired at stores on main street; tn,
reply was sixteen and eighteen dollars
yard.
But we ask if it is unreasonable tina
any vice should follow, after the enor
nous and all comprehensive one Of trea
son?

WILLIAMSBURG, May II.
70 Hon. ERrin " Stanton, Secretary Of Var:
The gunboats Galera, Monitor, Aroostook,
Naugatuck and Port Royal, were repulsed from
Fort Darling, seven miles below Richmond, yes

A portion Of them have returned to James

er.
Lieut.. Morris, commanding the Port Royal,
rent overland to us this morning for intelligence
regarding The forts below the Island and also for
assistance in burying the dead which he brought
down with him. Seventeen bodies have been
inferred on tie banks of the river, and there are

mond
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-No official report of
the gunboat affair ON the James river has been
received at the Navy Department. The mess
ages received on the subject indicate an oppor-
tunity to do better in tho future.
The river is now clear of instructions to
within eight miles of Richmond. Atthat point
there is heavy battery mounted on high bluff,
and the river is temporarily closed to naviga-
tion by sunken vessels, among which are said to
be the rebel steamers Yorktown and jamestown,
and by piles, chains, &c. The Monitor could
not elevate her guns sufficiently to reach the
high battery, which rendered her useless.
The banks of the river were filled with rifle
pits, from which an incessant fire was poured
upon the fleet, a part of which were engaged
al from 600 to 1000 yards of the main battery.
After an action of four hours the fleet, finding
II impracticable under the circumstances to ST.
@nce the battery on the bluff, withdrew out of
range Our loss was thirteen killed and eleven
wounded, among the latter Lieut.. Morris in the
Fs by a MIME ball, but not seriously.
