WAR ITEMS.
The Richmond papers give an account of
the battle of June 25th, before Richmond.
! They speak of the brave conduct of certain
regiments and allude to the terrible slaughter
of the Louisiana first, who are reported to
have lost in the engagement II officers and
POO men killed and wounded. In regard to
the final result they are silent, but suppose
that Gen Mcclellan will claim it as ''another
federal victory"
The commercial editor of the New York
Independent estimates that ''the total losses
of the nation and of individuals, traceable di-
rectly and indirectly to the war, cannot be
less than ten thousand millions of dollars"
A gentleman who was attached to the army
of Gen. Halleck when before COrinth, says
the aggregate active available strength of the
whole army was about 100000, all with the
best improved and most efficient arms; 250
pieces of cannon of various calibres, from the
highly polished light brass field pieces to the
grare, GlcfHl looking siege guns, requiring
ten or twelve yoke Of oxen to haul each
along.
Several of the southern papers, as well as
the rebel generals, declare that the conscrip
ton system has been the heaviest blow seces-
A.I,
Gen. Price in particular has been eloquent in
his peculiar way in its condemnation.
A letter from Atlanta, Ga, Of recent date,
and written by a person on whom dependence
is to be placed, tells the Louisville Express
that the south is quietly putting vast army
into the field; and that not even the fall Of
Richmond will end this internecine war.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A contraband who came to Philadelphia
with New Orleans Tiger, prisoner, assert
ed his first claim to his rights as man, be-
tween Harrisburg and Philadelphia, by giving
his master a sound drubbing. He said his
master had been tlogging him for ten years,
and it was his turn now.
Hawkins, the murderer, who was executed
at New York on Friday, made a speech in
which he told some true things about the bar
barites practiced on seamen by American
ship masters. There are frequently outrages
committed which would not be tolerated in
any other country, and it was one of these in
human things which prompted Hawkins to
commit the murder for which he was eXecu-
ted, and i'll the course of his remarks he also
spoke as follows of President Lincoln: Il
believe the president did exactly right in not
interfering in my case. L hold no spite or
malice to any one. | believe Abraham Lin
coin, president of the United States is Just
man, and so are many Of his officers. They
are noble men. He is the best president you
have had since George Washington"
The Raleigh, n. c., Standard Of June llth,
says that the powder mill near that place en-
ployed in manufacturing powder for the rebel
government had been blown up and three
wOrkmen instantly killed. About two thous-
and pounds of powder were destroyed.

band, rose about six o'clock next morning,
went down stairs aud cut off as much of her
tongue as she could reach leaving the re-

THE STANLEY COLLIER AFFAIR.-In ac-
cordance with the request of his exdellency,
Gov. Stanly, wish it published that mis-
understood his eXcellency. That he had no
intention Of closing my schools for colored
people at Newbern, n. c.; that he never in
tended to put in force the laws of North Car
DINA, and that until he gets explicit instruc-
tons from the government at Washington, ID.
g., he will neither interfere with my schools,
or return fugitive slaves to their masters, all
Of which | do with the most sincere and heart
felt pleasure. VINCENT CoLLYER,
