Important military movements are on hand
in the West, made by both parties. The Fed
erals are making an attempts to'penetrate the
interior of Mississippi from, Memphis. They
have already twice taken Folly Springs, and
we have many times retaken them, Gen.
Breckenridge Is in command of our forces oppo
sing the invasion from this point, and we have
no fears.
We learn also that the Yankees from Cor.
inth and Pittsburg Landing advancing to.-
wards luka and into northwestern Alabama
possibly with the intention of invading North
Alabama but more probably for the purpose
OF forming a junction with Mtcheil's forces
at Decatur, Florence and Huntsville. and per-.
haps to Bridgeport. We have not learned
what forces, if ary, in the West have
been sent to check this important movement,
but we are informed by highly respectable
gentleman just from Knoxville that the gallant;
Morgan with 200 picked men: left there yes

r@ 1t appears that quite member of the
members of Lincoln's Congress are dissatisfied
With the manner in which the Black Republi-
cans are legislating or rather dornineering over
the people of the North. A meeting Of these
members lately held in Washington City
which vas presided over by old Critteuden of
Kentucky. aud attended by thirty five
Others. The annexed resolutions in substance,
we're adopted aud signed by them. We rather
think Won had better look out gentleman, old
Abe has imprisoned men for using less violent
language than this, and the late from Nc
Clellan will not Tend to mitigate any of the
measures he has employed to accomplish the
end in view.
The re solutions show that there is still in the
North quite a number whose influence is over
sulrd but who desire TO see the war carried on
Eon>titutioualIy, if it c an be carried in that
way. The following the resolutions
/. 1at the Federal Constitution should be
maintained in tact.
= That the relations of the States to the Fed
eral Government are undisturbed by the pres
ent war
8 That the several States shall be We sted

8. Tina. the acts of conf .cation passed and

T. That the emancipation OF slaves directly

s. That the acts OF Congress this session in

8. That t" administer the Government on

The EEFFEor.-Everybody is anxious to- know
what will be the effect of our late victories
Richmond. We do not think success will have
the effect of ending the immediately. 1t will
compel the enemy to abandon the hope of subju-
eating the South but they will continue for a.
while fight for revenge for boundaries, for terms
of settlement, and for the purpose of nficting as
much injury they possibly can. There
fore, the efforts Of Southern people must not be
relaxeG-they must go on preparing for the con-
test. strengthening and encouraging armies,
helping the soldiers, and cheering each other to
enewed exertions, the same as the battles near
Richmond had never been fought. We must COM
pei the enemy by hard fighting to make peace and
acknowledge our independence. No one need ex.
pect anything from the sense of justice of the
North. yhe controlling spirits in that direction
allow neither mercy, honor Oh justice to influence
and revenge and we must continue to resist them
with determination and energy. If our efforts ar e
relaxed, and our people become too confident as
they did after the Manassas victory, the enemy
will again begin to get the advantage. Fight and
prepare to fight must be our motto, and it will
end the war sooner than anything else. In the
meantime # foreign nations interfere in our be-
half we'll and good. They will be compelled tc
recognize our Government sooner or later, and
we think the day is not far distant when they will
do so and, if necessary, assist in fogging un-
principled Yankee brethren, but we can't afford
to wait for that !; we must fight and win as fast
possible, help to sustain tie Government, have
conf dence in our leaders, bear with their errors II
errc they make, rebuke the croakers and grum>
blers. In short, we must remain united, econo-
mize. and work, and we shall so on be blessed
wit b independence and peace and prosperity.

All the time he was engaged IN this beaver

and filling the greedy news-devourors of the
North with assurances of his splendid progress

rebellion In these impudent, lying assurances
he was joined by gang of newspaper cores

But to return to our subject. Our victory

have at home and abroad will be in every way
mportant. 1t will still more consolidate and
invigorate the already resistless military ener

by ens!aving Southern freemen.
1t will proclaim to Europe that are a
bundantly able to achieve the independence we
have declared and to maintain in all it's dignity
and power the separate nationality which we
have assumed. These will be some of the ef-
fec:s of the grand victory which have just
won and which gives to history chapter not
less glorious than any for which war has yet
furnished the materials. From this day forward
Richmond takes her place in wars annals a
long side of the memorable battle fields of the
earth and will shine with no less lustre than
the brightest of them.

The Victory and its Effects.

After the severe conflict on Thursday and
Friday l,he first and second days) the public
expectation was high that Mcclellan and the
hnlk Of his army would be captured and the
campaign the Peninsula closed. Reports
were freely circulated in the Richmond 10 urn
ais, that ne was SO hemned in on Sunday that
his escape W as we'll nigh impossible. We are
now inclined to think that these reports were
more sensational than otherwise, and that his
retreat on Sunday night had not been rendered
impracticable by the disposition Of our forces,
1t is greatly to be deplored that he had it in
his power to make this movement, but it is
useless to be murmuring about it and imputing
to our brave army blame for not doing what
in all probability could not be done at the
time We ought rather to be thankful to heav
en- for the brilliant success which compelled
the enemy to fly from his entrenchments and
seek refuge in the forests and swamps of James
river, where he found partial protection from
his gunboats. We drove him twenty miles
from his famous Chickahominy lines, and wild.
ened that much the distance between him and
Richmond. :. He had slowly worked his way
to Within five or six miles OF the city, where he
sat down and went busiiv to work with his

A letter written in Beaufort county, N. C.'-
near Newbern, and dated June ~, 1862, con-
tains piece of information which we deem
highly important. We give below the extract
as furnished us, and think it's statement may Do
relied upon.
81 have Just heard from Barrington's. A
fpht occurred in Newborn, in which Massachus Us
etts and Maryland soldiers became involved.A
regiment of his each became engaged; 800 oftne
New England men were said to have been kill
ed and $50 of the .Marylanders. The distur-
bance arose about the negroes within the lines
there. The Massachusetts men proposed TO
send a lot of them to Cuba for sale. 1t was oP'
posed by the Marylauders. Since hearing the
above Mr.. E. P. Latham confirms the report.

The Siege of Vicks6urg.

We arrived at the two mile bridge on Mon
day evening last, at a 90 ut three o'clock, amid
the booming of heavy mortars and the burst
ing Of she'll from the fifteen inch ordnance Of
the Yankee fleet, which is an chored close in un
der the shore: below the point on the Mssissip
pi side, and almost completely protected from
our batteries below the city, and too far from
the upper batteries for them to reach their ad
versarles.
The fire of the enemy on Sunday, at midday
was drawn by a salute Of thirteen guns, which
were ordered by the Confederate commander
ia honor OF the great victory over Mcclellan in
Virginia. 1t was thought that the enemy mis-
took this salute for an attack. as we learn some
of our guns were shotted, and opened furiousy
on the city, continuing, with an intermission of
about one hour, until about IL O'Clock at night
After night the heavy mortars were ranged to
throw the she'll in the vicinity OF the Catholic
church, where were told they had beer di-
rected during the afternoon.
The effect of these shells as they exploded,
which usually took place just they reached
as fortune would have it, on Crawford street,
and as we passed the residence OF DR.. Balfour
Methodist, Baptist and Catholic churches, shells
exploded in our immediate vicinity, rendering
our position uncomfortable shat we suggest.
ed to a friend precipitate retreat in order to
get out OF the range of the mortars. This sug
gestion was promptly acceeded TO by our friend
not however until we had soiled our garments
thoroughly by falling to che earth at the explo.
sion OF each successive she'll. Our retreat,
though rapid, like Banks before S:onewalI, was
accomplished in good order, and instead of en-
Joying comfortable bed in the city with nv
friend, gladly accepted soldiers blanket with
friend Halcomb, of Rankin, ,on the green sward
in the suburbs Of the eity
The next morning we e ntere3 the city-eve
rything being quiet except the hustle of the Cit
izens, who were endeavoring to get what little
furniture remained to place Of safety.
During the morniug we rode through nearly
every street, witnessing the effects of the she'll
on the brick and wood structures, and were
impressed with the comparatively slight dam
age done to either class of buildings, when the
number of shot (probably 10000 were taken
into account In some instances as in the case
of the late Mrs. Candles house, shot would
pass through column of houses, leaving
hole scarcely larger than ITSELF and pass on
til it reached hill, where it would enter and
explode The Is inch shell, when it strikes
in the hills of. Vicksburg, enters the earth at a
depth of from FIVE to 10 feet, but when it striks
in the streets it explodes much nearer the sur
face. ~
