ARMY MOVEMENTS IN THE SOUTHWEST IA
stated In certain quarters that there 10 no design
on the part Of the Federal Government TO capture
either Vickseure or Mobile, a. the necessity for
keeping large Rebel army at both places pre-
vents the Contederates from operat ing In greater
strength In Kentucky and elsewhere. At both
places there cannot be fewer than sixty thousa nd
men, according to the judgment Of those who
profess knowledge Of the fact. The attempts to
blockade the Mississippi by shore batteries far
ther down are considered Of little account Il 10
laid that the commands Of General Curtis and
Colonel Fitch will unite In operating on the
White river. General Halleck's late command,
It 10 said, is to be placed along the line Of the
railroad between Memphis and Chattanooga -
This position will enable him TO concentrate his
force at any point az ainst any Rebel attack from

John MORGAN ROUTED.
From the Louisville Journal, July 20.1
We received intelligence by telegraph and
train from Lexington on Saturday Of the surpriss
and total rout Of John Morgan's forces by Gen
Green Clay Smith and Col. Metcalfe near Paris
on Saturday morning. We received very few
details beyond the fact that Gen. Smith left Lex.
ington at midnight on Friday and surprised the
maraudes, who were encam ped on the Hon. Gar
rett Davis farm. Gen. Smiths command en-
braced about 900 cavaIrymen and two pieces Of
field artillery. Morgan's loss 10 reported by tel

him TO believe that the rebel rout was more dis

MORTALITY AMONG WOUNDED PRISONERS.
The wounds Of many Of the Federal prisoners
brought to the city are Of very desperate char
acter, and although they are favored with the
skill OF their own surgeons and all the superior
appliances which they have At their command,
the mortality has been very great. On yesterday
twenty deaths occurred among the number pro-

REBEL LOSSES IN THE RECENT BAfrLRs
The Richmond papers give long Lists Of killed
and wounded In the late battles before Richmond
As showing how some Of their regiments were
depleted, we present the following statistics
made up from these papers:
The2d Florida Regiment went into action with
$50 men, Of which were killed, wounded, and
missing 149.
The 12th Mississippi went into action as7

HARRIsoS's BAR, James river, Va, July IS
One OF the most noticeable facts connected with
the occupation Of the present camp Of the army is
the recent arrival Of great quantities of mining
and entrenching tools. OF course, none but our
chief officers can tell precisely what use will be
made OF them In other words, whether the new

signed to protect us In our present position or 70

TALLY correct These tools are not needed In our
camp at present.
Unless the Confederates succeed in obstructing

Our camps are 50 situated that the guaboats can

they are too far away 10 do US particular harm,
whatever their numbers; besides, our vast artil-
lery, protected by strong earthworks, would play
havoc among them, and perhaps keep them at
bay without the aid Of our Infantry force, now
quite equal 10 what II was before the battles
Thus the probability grows stronger that we
shall march TO Richmond on the line Of the river
on which We are now quietly encamped. The
obstructiOns In the river, which we know are
very strong, and comprise certainly more than
one tier, msy be blown up with the improved
apparatus for this work now within the control

SO these tools, which many suspected ind Heated

enough to maintain our position, or that in the
estimation Of the Commanding General the reb Is
