We understand some of the Democrats
have been busily engaged in circulating q
report that Bill Shirley was exempted by
the Militia examining board from doing
military service. The report is without a
shadow OF foundation in truth. Mr.. Shir-

A Newberne n c., letter of the 18th
says, Hamilton, N. C., was captured on
the 9th by three Of our gunboats, the Com
modore Perry, Ceres and Showheen and q
Company of Hawken's Zouaves, under
Capt. HGmmell, on our side. 1t was de-
Tended by a regiment of rebel cavalry,
suppOrtey by strong force Of infantry
and artillery and a rebel fort which COM
manded the river. There were numerous
masked batteries along the river, as also
a rebel steamer filled with sharp shooters
While the gunboats attacked and dispersed
the men in the batteries the Zouaves ad-
vanced on the town accompanied by de-
tachment from the gunboats.
The Fort was taken by a charge and
also the town. The rebel steamer was
captured by our gunboats, whose fire drove

one man killed but quitea number wound

FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, July 81.


Times special:
Information is received from several OF
the States showing that under the last call
upward of O,OOO men had been enlisted.
Only two or three full regiments, however,
are ready, the majority being the nucleus
| of companies and regiments forming. 1t
is now believed that sufficient force for
present emergencies will soon be in the
field
1t is ascertained that Gen. Ewell, with
three brigades, now occupies Gordonsville,
position for not taking which last week
Gen. Hatch is severaly censured.
Gen. Pope is still in the city, awaiting
by desire of the President the arrival of
Gen. Halleck.
Since Gen. POpe,was placed in his pres
ent command, military matters in Virginia
and the West have assumed a somewhat
different aspect and now important
changes are deemed necessary.
To-day an extraordinary meeting of the
Cabinet was held, at which several gener-
ais were present. Military affairs and
military changes were discussed at
length, but no definite result, it Is said was
attained, the President wishing to consult
Gen. Halleck,
All of Gen. POpe's arrangements for i'm
mediately taking the field are made, and
his army awaits his arrival with impa-
tience. His recent stirring orders have
inspired the soldiers with the greatest en-
thusiasm.
Herald's special:
Gen. POpe's recent order requiring all
officers to rejoin their regiments without
delay, has had a visible effect in the hotels,
saloons, and other places of public resort
in the city. To-day the Provost Guard has
been diligent in hunting the strays with
out passes. Shoulder straps have become
few and far between.

No more nIoraI sunslon for Trnltors.

A field officer in the army in Alabama
said to be one of the oldest field officers
from Ohio sends letter to a friend in Gin
cinnati from which the Gazette quotes as
follows, of the southern rebel planters who
demand guards for their property:
"If was sboss of this war for one
month, if l did not make a change and
make these fellows feel what war was,
then you may send me TO that country
where the preachers send all sinners. I
would make these devilish old sinners
feel that they had raised corn for somebody
else beside the Southern army. But in
instead of their feeling thatthis is war, 1t is
to some Of them perfect God-send; they
get double price or much more for every
thing they sell For instance we have
paid them as high as six dollars a bushel
for corn, forty cents for butter, and ffty
cents gallon for buttermilk, and so on
for everything. At this rate how can they
suffer
l confess am getting very tired of all
this. l have now been with the army over
year, and am ready to die there: but
swear l don't want to send to Ohio and
New Hampshire for subsistence for the
army, when it can be had here or any
part Of it. I would take their corn, pork,
or anything else they had, if it was neces-
sary for my men. And in addition to all
this, you have no idea of the amount ofin-
suit we are required to submit to, and es-
specially from the she traitors. They spit
at us, make mouths, curl the lip, turn up
the nose, and when they pass anywhere in
the neighbOrhOOd of us, jerk their frock
tails to one side, as though they were
afraid we might touch them.
'1f they are women, I would let them
know war is in their land, for II know these
she devils do as much harm as the men
but no; we must take it all and stand
guard at their doors like their own negroes
and they appear to enjoy the idea of let
ting us know that they look on us a SER
wants. It is laughable to hear them talk
and see them swell; Why, Abe Lincoln
was once nothing but a common laborer,
and split rails for living. Such Pres
ident as thatP could 60 on and tell you
thousand things like these. l am salts
fed that here, in the South, the people have
not yet felt what war really is; and until
we teach them this truth, and bring them
to feel it, we need not look for peace"

War nIeeting nj ChIcnro.

An immense meeting was held at Chioa-
60 on Saturday evening, to demonstrate
the loyalty Of the city. Men of all par
ties gathered together, actuatod by a COM
mon patriotic impulse. It was noticed
here as at New York, that the more strin-
gent policy the speakers advocated, and the
plumper they hit the bulls eye Of treason,
the louder were they cheered The heart
Of the people was in the work, and they
aOquiesoed most heartily in every measure
calculated to crush the rebellion the most
speedily. There were three mass meetings
at once. Bryan Hall was jammed to over
aOwingi Metropolitan Hall was full, and
Eve thousand people were in Court House
Square. One of the most gratifying fea-
lures of the meetings was the determine
tiOn to root out all treason from Chicago,
from whatever source it might spring.

The Next COngress---What Will Il Be 2
Washington Dispatch to Cincinnati Commercial
Great difference of opinion prevails as
to the probable complexion Of the next
Congress. Well-informed observers, who
have lately been among the people, think
all party lines pretty much Obliterated,
and the loud and earnest demand for a
more speedy and stringent prosecution of
the war will swallow up every other issue.
They say not single doughface, or SYM
pathiser, or opponent of confscation can
be reelected.
On the other hand, some politicians pro-
fess to see signs of a great Democratic re-
vival Their real programme is to 90 be-
fore the people on the weakness and inefi-
cheney Of the Administration in prosecut-
ing the war, together with the condition it
has developed, and ignoring their old
Southern proclivities during the canvass,
to outrun the Republicans on the war-path,
and elect a majority in the House. This
done, they win turn round and attempt to
coerce a peace by embarrassing other De,
partments Of the Government until they
have carried compromise satisfactory ia
their Southern brethren. The game is a
shrewd one, but will 1t win

FROM MEMPHIS.


Special to the Times
The night of the same day the Arkansas
succeeded in running through our feet,
Farragut made an unsuccessful attempt to
sink her, his entire feet passing down the
river and pouring brOadsides in her as
they passed.
The rebels acknowledge that our seven
inch steel pointed shot went through her,
but this was the only damage sustained.
A reconnaissance the next morning
showed the Arkansas undergoing repairs,
but didn't appear to be any danger of her
sinking.
