In addition to the above, there are two Ala
bama Regiments, two Virginia, one North Car
oilna and one South Carolina, which were in
the battles OF which we have seen no report
Our loss in these battles will not, therefore, fall
far short OF 5000 in killed, wounded and miss
ING, while that of the enemy, according to
their own showing, cannot be less than 10000.

TO MAKE BLACKBERRY W1NE.-To every
three 2ints of berries add one quart of water,
suffer it to stand twenty-four hours strain
through cullender, then through jelly bag
and to every gallon of the juice add three
pounds of good brown sugar, the white of two
eggs beaten to a froth, and stirred in the Juice;
little spice, with two dozen cloves beaten to-
gethcr, and one nutmeg grated, should be put
into small linen bag and dropped in. After
all are mixed, put it in stone Jug, filled up
and kept full with some of the same Juice re-

which will be in two or three weeks. Cork it
tightly and keep it in cold place for three or
four months; then pour it into bottles with a
little loaf sugar in each bottle, cork and seal
close. If the wine is kept for twelve months,
it will be still better, and will continue to i'm
prove with age.

shore. Il is understood that several vessels, in
cluding the Brooklyn, were badly injured, with
heavy slaughter among their crews. The Con-
federate loss was nine killed, including one
woman. Our batteries are uniniured. Their
fire was principally directed at the city, and
several houses were shattered. 1t is supposed
that the enemy will not renew the conflict for
several days. A deserter reports the enemy's

capture. .

MOBILE, June 3o.-A special despatch to the
Advertiser, dated Jackson, June 80, Gays the
Yazoo correspondent of the Mississippiam,
writing under date of the 18th, says two of the
enemy's gun-boats were accommodating in va
zoo River, when Commodore Pinckney burned
the Confederate gun-boats Van Dorm, Polk and
Livingston. This action is considered unneces-
sary, and is much deplored here. The loss Of
property is heavy.
Gen. Van Dorm issued an order on the 2sth,
to the army, declaring Vicksburg should be
defended to the death. The Fedorals can never
occupy VlcksOurg. The feet appears too
much crippled to engage in successful tilt
with our batteries.

YANKEE Loss IN THE SECOND JAMES ISLAND
F1aHT.-A private letter to the editor from a
young soldier of the 47th Georgia, who was in
the fight Of Monday, 10th, on James Island
says: 1--WE have buried three hundred and
forty-seven Yankees killed in the febt on
Monday last, and have some sixty prisoners
counting the wounded. Their loss was double
that number AS they carried off all the dead
and wounded lost by them in the first two
charges on our battery, we only got those killed
on the last charge.
Our loss is forty-seven, killed, wounded and
misslng-only one from my regiment"
Inns estimate Of the enemy's loss in the fight

How THEY WORK TOGETHER-The
Grenada Appeal and kindred sheets
south, are in the habit of copying dirty
articles denouncing the United States
Government, from the Chicago Times,
Indiana State Sentinel and Cincinnati
Enquirer, and attributing them to the
indianapolis Journal, Cincinnati Com
mercial, and such like loyal papers
A copy of the Appeal of the 2jth No
vember, now before us, contains an arti-
Gle on the subject of the contrabands
now at Cairo, which it credits to the In
dianapolis Journal We are confident it
never appeared in the Journal, but the
editors of the Appeal are sagacious
enough to believe that this fraud will in
crease the effect of the article on the de-
luded people of the South.

TIMELY AND PERTINENT - The New
New Albany Ledger, in speaking of the
large number of officers off duty, makes
the following pertinent and well-timed re-
marks about the manner in which Major
Gen. Lew Wallace has been trihed with.
We believe, with the Ledger, that it is
due Gen. Wallace and his friends that
an explanation should be made in the
premises.
The Ledger says:
Among the high officers of the army
who are thus, without any explained
cause, detained from active duty in the
field is Major General Lew Wallace of
Indiana. Its true Gen Wallace is Pres
dent of the Commission now sitting in
Cincinnati to inquire into the merits of
Gen. Buelrs campaign in Kentucky.
This duty is doubtless an important and
honorable one, but one which could be
discharged by some officer whose health
or wounds will not permit him to take
the field
Gen. Wallace was one of the very first
to take the field after the commence
ment of the war He was repeatedly
promoted, for gallant services, and why
he should be detained from active duty
at time when the masses of the army
are moving upon the enemy, we can not
divine. If there is any good reason why
Gen. Wallace should be thus shelved, he
and his friends ought to know what it is.
If charges have been clandestinely made
against him he and they ought to know
what they are. This is due to him and
to the State from which he comes, and
we hope our members of Congress will
institute the proper inquiry.

The Granada Appeal is not half as

While these latter servilely obey the
order to call all loyal men Abolitionists,
