PHILADELPHIA, July 20.-A special dispatch to
Forney's Press, dated Memphis, July 10, says:
The Grenada Appeal reports the rebel iron
clad gunboat Arkansas under command of Capt.
Dogan, came down from Yazoo river on the 18th
and ran by Porter's feet which lies above Vicks-
burg, and anchored under the batteries surround
ing the city.
The Appeal says the ram ran down several
Federal war vessels and disabled many more.
One of our vessels was blown up.
The Arkansas is a very formidable gunboat,
being plated with haltinch iron. She has very
heavy armament.
The rebel loss il set down at ten killed and
thirteen wounded, The Federal loss is not
known.
A special to the Mobile Advertiser states that
the Richmond Inquirer says that it is no longer
doubtful that our lines have been brought closer

WASHINGTON, July l9.-The HeraIds dispatch
says:
Lieut. Col Pierson, of the AID New York regi-
ment, arrived here today. He left the front of
army the Peninsula yesterday morning.
AT that time there were no forces of the enemy
within fourteen miles of our lines on this side of
the James river, but a balloon reconnaissance
disclosed large concentration Of the rebels on
the south side in the vicinity Of City Point.
The army was represented to be in good condi-
ton and with confidence unimpaired in General
Mcclellan.
1t is believed that James river will be blocka-
ded by the rebels at the bluffs of Clarmont.
The Senate failed TO confirm a large number
of nominations which fell within the adjourn
ment Among them were Ward Burnett, g. A.
Scroggs, Edwin II. Webster, and Col. Carroll, to
be Brgadier Generals.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 18th, appears
alarmed at the order of our War Department
concentrating the forces of Mcdowell, Fremont
and Banks, under Gen. Pope, and remarks of the
latter that he is VIGOROUSLY one of the most
dangerous of the Union commanders; officer
of great activity and daring, and is very apt to
DO very unexpected things 1t adds that the TO
ray into Orange county, and the destruction OF
the railroad bridge over the Rapidan, by the en-
envy, is challenge on the part of Pope that our
Generals have now taken up.
Inc enquirer, commenting On the Threatening
aspect of McClellan's operations, says: 1--WE
must dig-dig-dig, or Mcclellan will dig into
Richmond. The spade can only be conquered
with the spade, and the shovel will always defeat
the musket."
SOf President Lincon's recent visit to the army
the Enquirer says: "a dirty trio-Lincoln, Stan
ton and Winfield Scott-passed by Old Point OF
Thursday last, route for McClelans head
quarters at or near Berkely. A gentleman who
saw the steamer which conveyed this dirty trio
of Yankee negro stealers, says there was banC
of music on board, and many flags and streamer'
huttering to the breeze"

The market opened on Monoay with an offer
ing of 800 head. which were nearly all disposed
of on that day at higher rates.
Tuesday morning found but a few hundred
cattle in the yards and these all sold before
noon.
All the cattle which had remained over from
the markets of several weeks past had been sold
before the close of last week so that this marke.
is entirely bare of old stock, and the drovers
have prospect OF making good market next
week, if they manage judiciously.
The quality of the stock offered this week is
not equal TO that of last and yet prices show an
improvement of 25@371ac per 100 lbs.
Government took one hundred head of cattle
from Albany.
Illinois continues to lead the other States in
furnishing cattle for this market. We learn that
it costs about SIS per bead average to bring stock
from that State and from Ohio. The average
cost is about 50 per head.

ON MILITARY HosPIrAL-On Saturday we
paid visit for the first time to the City Hospital
which has been used for the last fifteen months
for our sick and wounded soldiers We were
agreeably disappointed to see the neatness, order
and system displayed in the arrangement and
management of the hospital The building is
well calculated for the purpose the rooms being
large and the ventilation excellent. The building
stands high which gives good current of air at
ali times, making it pleasant, even in the warm
est DAYS The hospital is divided into wards,
each ward being under the immediate charge of
a ward stewart aud two men nurses educated for
the purpose and we are assured that men
much better tor this purpose than women. The
bedsteads are new, and look comfortable, each
one having good husk mattrass and clean sheets
and blankets. The building is so divided that
our own soldiers occupy one portion and the re-
bel prisoners another, each distinct and separate
throughout but in all other respects no difference
i made in the treatment The food provided Is
the best kind the same As Is used on any table IN
the city-the table furniture beng cheap stone
and glass ware looks clean aud nice. The
cooking is done in one kitchen, mostly Oy men,
but six girls being engaged in the hospital for
ironing. &c The Matron is Sister OF Provl-

SHOOTING AFFRAY-A FANCY NIGER SHOOTS
At A WHITE MAN.-Y esterday evening, about
O'Clock, great excitement was created on the
main street by negro firing four shots at a
young man OH one of the most public places in
the city-fortunately without effect. The young
man is named Charles Mcmillan, and has been in
the volunteer service and been recently employed
at the arsenal. The negro is named GREY, quite
a fancy fellow, and is in the employ of the Belle
fontaine railroad company, as porter. 1t is re-
ported that two weeks ago he fired at Mcmillan
across the street, and missed What the past
trouble between them was, we don't know Yes
terday evening they met ut the opening of Ken
lucky Avenue, just opposite the Palmer House,
and after some words. the negro drew pistol
and swore he could whip any whit. man the city.
At this young McMilla struck him. and the negro
commenced firing. Mcmillan closed upon HIM
and escaped the shots. The crowd on the noted
corners-the Bates, the Palmer, and Blake's-is
at no time small, and the first shot reused them.
The negro ran, and sought to take refuge in a
house near by, but was met by a blow from
within which sent him into the hands of his pur-
suers The cry arose to hang him, and that would
have been his tate but for the interpositon of the
police. He was conveyed to Jail, and that was
much the safest place for him.
