Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1862-07-07

The Federal authorizes have been eminently
successful in keeping from the public correct
information of the recent events before Rich
mond, but the truth is beginning TO leak out
The Journals evidently see defeat in the move
ments of their army and it viii be seen by our
telegraph that the New York Times admits it,
We have, also, the ST. Louis Republican Of the
ID. which is alarmed, and in an article sOundly
beratfng STANTON for his attempt to muzzle the
press, says; 'sMr. Secretary STANTON issued
an official war bulletin, June 30th, noon ~
which he stated that the governments modest
form Of expression, meaning himself had no
accurate information of the state Of affairs on
the Peninsula, by reason of the interruption Of
telegraphic communication, and added: Moth
irg has been received to warrant the belief of
any serious disaster p
The Republican, says !" there is hardly a seces-
sionist in the country that would not lake COM
fort from such q dispatch, " and adds: In the
first place, the inference of the bulletin is plain
that tho rebels had cut off communication; and,
secondly, that hint shout serious disaster is
very well calculated to convey the impression
that some persons, at least, considered the news
disastrous. If Mr.. STANTON had no iRfOrma-
ton from the army before Richmond, we do not
see that he was called upon to make any publ
cation whatever in relation thereto. The truth
must sooner or later be known in all cases, and
if the Administration would promptly give what
ever discOuraging news it gets Of military con
dicts, it would be better credited when it offers
favorable intelligence"
The only information from M~CCLELLAN's
army which was allowed to be sent over the
wires from Washington to the Northern press,
and published in the Republican, is up to two
o'clock the third day OF the fight. This dis
patch was Of course prepared by the War De
partment, and the real facts are suppressed. We
copy the telegram:
NEW YORK, July 1.-The latest sdvices from
Gen. Mcclellan, at Washington yesterday noon.
were up to- o'clock, Saturday afternoon.
Up to that time he had successfully carried
out the plan he pointed out some time ago, which
plan was to swing his right wing toward the
river, which included all the forces north Of and
half way between Bottoms Bridge and New
Bridge at the same tine advance bis left wing
toward James river, opening communication
with the gunboats.
The attack of the enemy last Thursday in
great force necessitsted this strategic movement,
AID in changing his place, Of course White
House landing was abandoned. All the sick
aud wounded, ordnance and commissary stores,
troops and property were there embarked under
the superintendent OF Gen. Casey, and on Mon
day were at Turkey Island, on James river,
eight miles below Fort Darling a1d fifteen be-
low Richmond.
After an interruption Of communication be-
tween Gen. Mcclellan and Washington for As
hours, his left wing touched james river yes
teTday near Turkey Island bridge. He imme-
diately opened communication with Com. Rog-
ers, Of the Potomac fotills, and through him
with Washington.
The result may be hat the steam transports
relieve the soldiers of the fatigue Of march-
ing on Richmond By landing them near the
rebel capital after the gunbOats have cleared
away the Instructions. Our army is now ex-
tTicated from the rlalarious swamps of the
Chickahominy, and OH the high ground Of James
