SERIOUS Loss.

We are panied to record the loss Of a Confede
rate steamer losded with arms and ammunition.
on the Mississippi, the particulars Of which are
given in an article from the Vicksbug Whig
At this time the loss is a serious one. It seems
to have been the result Of gross Encouragement
in some quarter, and a strict investigation
should be made, and the culpable party pun
shell. As the Hhig remarks " The Northern
Papers have repeatedly asserted that some Of the
g~unhosts would continue to operate in the river
between this city and Memphis, to prevent Us
from using it yet in the face Of this ihforma-
ton, q boat Is sent twenty-five miles up the river
with aims and ammunition" The South can
not AFFORD to tolerate such official imbeciHty.
The cargo Of the boat, as we learn from g gem
tIeman who left Yicksburg yesterday, cOnsis ted
Of three car loads ordnance stores, fifty boxes
qusrtermaster's stores, one hundred and eighty
nine boxes ammunition, two thousand stand Of

Although Stonewall jackson was in the front
Of our new lines, notwithstanding he was never

The result shows that Jackson has not been idle.
Those preparations and plans, which are AZ ne

ABRAUTTRUL DoCUuRNT,

Front the Petersburg (Es) Express. August l2I
Afellow by the name Of Goldsborough, whC
it seems has command st present of the Yankee
frigate Minnesota, and is no doubt one Of Lin
coins naval pets, issued the following notice the
other day published in that very chaste sheet.
the Norfolk Union
FLAGSHIP MINNESOTA,
NORFOLK HARBoR, July30
William W. Lamb. would-be Mayor, and Rebels gene
rally Of Norfolk, Va
WHEREAS, It IS reported to me that about
$4,000 internal blsckgusrd rebels are making
theif way from Richmond, through Suffolk, TO
drive out the soldiers of Abraham Lincoln and
to cut the threats of the Union men Of Norfolk,
Therefore, take notice, that on the first sp-
pesrance Of the first id rebel scoundrel within
these lines, I'll blow you and your city to h-l.
(Tell this to your women.)
Yours, GOLDsBORoUGH, Admiral, etc.
The first idea that viii probably occur to our
readers after its perussl, is that the above publ
cation is spurious. No decent man could well
suppose otherwise. Bat there is 10 spurious
ness in the case. It is a genuine document from
the pen Of Admiral, etc, Goldsborough - and
as such we insert It in our columns as d striking
record of the times. In colnection with it, to
show the character of the journal in which It
first appeared, the Norfolk, Union we give the fol
lowingeditoTial remarks upon it
A NOTICE TO REBELs-We are informed
upon perfectly reliable authority that when
there was so much apprehension the other night
about a rebel raid on Norfolk, Commodore
GoldsboTOugh sent g notice ashore to the late
city authorities, to the effect that in case any
rebel soldiers made their appearance here to in
terfere with Norfolk he would blow the city to
fragments. And that this might be taken as a
standing notice, and the rebel leaders have their
families prepared accordingly. This is good
news. Commodore, we say, let her rip if the
rebels come, and you may blow US all up to-
gether, if you will only make short work of the
rebels.
There is no doubt that Goldsborough was
drunk when he penned the infamous production.
Bat this is no palliation of bis offence. We are
not at all surprised at such a beastly exhibition
of himself by 9 Lincoln sdmHal, because we
can expect nothing better from such a source.
But what viii be thought in Europe of a naval
commander who could, under any conceivable
circumstances, degrade himself, his profession,
and his country, b. such a vulgar, filthy, black
guard production, and of a press which could
speak Of in the laudatory terms in which the
Union notices it, Goldsborough is but a type
of the whole waTrier race TO which be belongs.
He is about as fair a specimen of Northern
chivalry and deceney as any thai could be
selected, and the Union is a faithful reflector of
the spirit and conduct of the Lincoln war jour
mails. We hope that the I" admiral's" valiant
and exquisitely polished paper will find its way
across the Atlantic, so that ihe people Of Europe
may be thus much farther enlightened as to the
character OF the enemy whom the South has to
deal with.

THE NeRT CAROLINA ELECTION.


The Richmond Enquirer remarks that the
capture Of General PRINCE and the other com-
missioned officers, viii tend to bring the two
warning powers to 8 speedy understanding as TO
the future policy Of the war. LINCOLN viii

rovoking his new war pelicy as set forth in his
own general orders and in those of POPE. OF he

require further action on our part, and the speedy
result must be the discsrding of all restraints
on both sides and 6 war Of determination. We
hope, however. that our enemies are not so
demented and demoniac as to have seriously
resolved to force this upon Us and upon them
selves.

The Enesny.

1t Is now pretty certainly asceFialued, we be-
lieve, that Mcclellan. having rested his troops sUf-
iciently to enable them to move again, is ex-
tending his " flank movement" around by the
James and Rap~pahannock back to Fredericks-
burg, from whose vieinage he sailed forth early
last Spring on bis grand excursion to Richmond
At least, 1t is certain that Burnside's corps and
other large bodies of McClellau's army have
gone from the Peninsula to reinforce Pope.
What becomes now Of the %pretensioR that the
flight from the ChieshomiHy to the James was
simply " a change of base, " q -" strategic move, :
and that Mcclellan was nearer Richmond ct
Berkeley than when on the Chicahomiuy ?
What becomes, too, of the claim that the battles
of Chicahominy were n series Of Yankee Veto
ries, when it is found necessary to call out six
hundred thousand men to repair damages
1t is hardly to be presumed, though, that
James river is to be abandoned By the enemy.
A force sufficient will be kept there, under cover
of the gunboats and mortar feet, to keep up
some show Of menace and thus divide cur at
tention and, if possible, our army. The new re-
cruits viii probably be sent to Mcclellan for
training, as he has shown greater skill in organ
izing an army and manufacturing tolerable sol
diers out of very Indifferent material, than in
conducting 8 campaign. The Lincoln plan is
evidently to overslaugh him with Pope, but 20
do it in a way that will not produce a blow up
among his friends. But we don't think Lin
eola's plan will work. Our Stonewsll is in the
way to Pope's success and greatness. 1t has
already proved a stumbling block and rock Of
effense to him, and when he once fairly hits
against it he viii be broken, and when it falls on
him It will grind him to powder. Mcclellan
need not be jealous of Pope. II he has any
bowels Of compassion he viii rather pity him.

The ENEMY IN AME RIYER-Ihe Peters
burg Express, OF yesterday, says We hear,
from a source entitled to the highest credit, that
Mcclellan is ~evacuating his position at berkeley.
TheTecent movement on Malvern Hill, and the
pretended permanent occupation of COggin's
Point and Maycox, are now known to have been
mere feints to cover his Evacuation. Such Of
his army as have already left, have been sent to
Pope or Burnside, but the majority Of them, it
is believed, have gone TO the former. Burnside
is known to be at Fredericksburg.
A Fortress Monroe letter in the New YQk
Tribune Of Friday last, says "Burnside's army
have certainly not gone far, as the transports
which left with the troops a day or two since
have already returned"
A party who was recently in McClelan's
army, says the parties who are throwing up for
tifcations or the opposite side of the river, have
never exceeded fifteen hundred or two thousand,
end laborers and soldiers are changed every day,
a fresh party going over in the morning, ana
those who went over the previous day imme
diatelY returning. It'll considered a sort of eZ-
eursion to cross the river, and the south bank
has been declared by the Yankee surgeons the
healthiest. If Mcclellan IS really ~evaeuating
Berkeley, bis recent occupation Of the points
opposite, has been intended only to protect his
feet and army against another uaght attack, and
to enlarge his stealing Of negroes and other pro-
perty-RichmoRd Hhig, 14th.!

Some curious calculator says: One million Of

equip and feed such a host has never yet been
essayed by a civilized people. The line march
ing in single file, allowing two feet for each
soldier, would stretch nearly $50 miles, and
marching at the rate of thirty miles per day,
would occupy nearly W weeks in passing a
given point; marching in actions of four, with
the necessary room for baggage trains and cav
airy, at the rate of thirty miles per day, they
would extend $50 miles, and the head Of q col
umn leaving a given point on Monday morning,
the rear guard would not reach the same point

From gentlemen who left Yicksburg at 10
o'clock ye sterday, we have rather unfavOrable
intelligence from that quarter. The river above
the city IS said to be full of gunbosts, mortsrs
and transports, aud it is the opinion Of many
thai another attack upon the city, both by land
and from the river, viii be made this week.

the boats had come down with the view of bring
