This is the question at the North. WHO is re-
sponsible for the defeat at Richmond Unwill.
ing to acknowledge the superiority of our gen
erals, and the bravery Of the Southern troops,
they have already engaged in a squabble,
blaming esch other. The Washington RepuJli-
can asserts that " the friends of Gen. MCCLEL-
A intend to hold the President responsible for
the failure TO reinforce him The Cincinnati
Commercial says at is pretty evident that he
was NOT adequately reinforced" and adds
Somebody must shoulder the responsibility,
though why it should be the President is not aP-
parent 1t seems more probable that Secretary
STANTON and his military advisers, if he has
any, wiz have to encounter ths tremendous in
dignssiOn which q full knowledge Of the facts

THREE TEXANS CAPTURE TWO HUNDRED

The receipts of cotton at New York, for the
first three days of the present week, were 1901
bales, of which 794 were by railroad, 39S from
Liverpool 312 from New Orleans, $50 from As
pinwal, Il from Beaufort, S. c., and 9 by the
Hudson river.
The Catholics of Charlestown, Mass, recently
consecrated a church costing $45, 900, and ca

New Workers will soon have a new sensation
in Broadway. Up the river last week was a
horse tanner from the Rocky mountains, a man
who has used and long ~practiced subduing, the
wild mustang of the pTairies, especially in Mexi-
co. The ''lasso' is his favoTite instrument. He
has a splendid animal, which he drives through
the crowded streets of a city without reins or
bride, and no harness except a surcingle to hold
up the shafts. The noble beast is perfectly
Obedient to his voice, but a long whip, touching
his sides gently, directs his movements to the
right hand or to the left, as is desired by the
driver.
An officer of the 22d Massachusetts, regiment,
writes home that typhoid fever is the pest Of the
army, and that his regiment loses, on an aver
age, three men per week by it.
A Plgcerville California; paper says that up
wards of twenty-five hundred pounds of silver
bullion passed through that city within the week

Washoe.
Our readers will perhaps remember the touch
ing letters written from Newbern. not long ago,
in regard to the alleged abduction and rescue OF
a yonng colored person. The following item
from the Newbern Progress may throw some
light upon the affair:
"a paragraph has been going the rounds OF
the Northern press, stating that some Massa-
chusetts soldiers lately rescued a fugitive. No
Massachusetts, soldier wears the letter M on
his cap, and we are inclined to think that pros
titution was more the prime mOvi' g power IN
the case alluded to than an adherence OF the
fugitive slave law. But anything for sensation,
whether true or untrue, seems to be the motto
of some correspondents"

GEN. BUFFERS STATE PAPERs-The TTi-
buae has been giving credit-through its New
Orleans eOrrespOndence-to Assistant AdjutGnt
General Strong, Of Gen. Buffers staff, for the
authorship of the able documents of bis com
maEding general, which have evoked such uni
versal communication in every quarter. Gen.
Strong, however, who is now in this city on
leave for q short time, gives in a letter to the
Tribune, a quietus to the malicious insinuations
Of that sheet, by positively asserting over his
own signature, that all the documents issued
from headquarters were written by Gen. Butler
himself; and he adds that he wishes to state,
" what he supposed was well understood, that
staff or other officer in the fine army of the
gulf ever had the opportunity or the ability to
furnish brains for the commanding general.
We take the ebave from a Northern paper.
Gen. Strong relieves himself Of a vast amount
of infamy by his prompt denial.

The following is an extract from a letter from
a prominent merchant in England received by a
merchant of Mobile. 1t came by Nassau and
Charleston:
LIVERPOOL, June 7, 1S62.-Mg Dear Sir T.:
Very many thanks for your interesting letters
to Sd ult., and which l have sent to the Times,
and the manager was much obliged, having
published them and remarked upon them in his
summary. We all here hope for an early set
Element of your war, the most infamous ever
forced upon a nation, and God grant Mr. Lin
coin and his satellites may yet live to repent of
the outrage they have committed against civil
cation by their cruel tyranny.
We wait with great anxiety the result of the
next battle at COrinth and at Richmond-stroug
rumors are current that both have proved Con-
federate victories, and if 50, l DO not see how
our government can delay Longer in acknowl
edging the South.
The Southerners should allow Europe great
latitude for their apparent dilatoriness, for they
must remember that we get nothing but North
EN- accounts, and these are framed so craftily as
actually TO shake the faith of the strongest
Southerners amongst us in the ability of the
Confederates to maintain their ground. Wait
ing your further fsvors. etc.

INTERVENTION.

The Cincinnati Commercial Of the 9TH can
didly expresses fears that the news Of the check
which the army Of the Potomac has sustained
before Richmond, viii reach Europe at a time
when The London and Paris journals, which
openly side with the Confederaey, are most W
gent in their sppeals to their respective govern
meuts for Intervention. It adds: 1t IS net
impossible that Intervention viii be attempted.
If It come in the shape Of offers Of mediation,
or Of protest against the further continuance of
the war, we cannot reasonably complain. These
are the legitimate privileges of friendly powers,
and may be exercised from the best as well as
from the worst motives"
All the virtuOus Indignation Of the CONNER
ciGl, as to the spirit in which an offer Of media
ton should be received, is mere fuss. When it
declares that " neither the interests nor honor
Of the nation can tolerate any mediation that
looks te a recognition Of tho ConfsderacY," it
but becomes a brsggart. When foreign inter
vention is made the Lincoln government viii
aceede % such terms as may be ~prOffsred by the
mediatng powers. The Federals cannot "rea-
sonably complain - a. tie decision Of an Impair

SAVANNAH, July 3.-Fiye hundred and fifty
wounded Yankees are now at Port Royal, who
were brought from James Island after the Secs
s~ionville fight. Some of the heavy guns had
been taken from Fort Pulaski to be used on
James Island. The Yankees are dying rapidly
at Port Royal, numbers being buried every day,
and much sickness among them. All last week
the Federal officers were striving 10 make the
Confederate prisoners take the oath of allegiance,
but could net succeed. A large force was at
Hilton Head, but the prisoners could not state
the exact numbers.
The Yankee troops at Port Royal speak of
their next movement as being likely to be inside
against the Charleston and Savannah railroad.
Several regiments from James Island had
arrived at Hilton Head. Hunter is ia command
at Hilton Head. He has a regiment called
" the negro brigade" armed and uniformed in
the same manner as the Yankees.

The Federal Quarrel.

RICHMOND, July 9, 1862.-Baltimore papers
of the 8th have been received in this city.
In the Senate, Chandler, Of Michigan, said
that Secretary Stanton had nothing to do with
putting the army in the marshes of the Chicka-
hominy. This act was a matter of gross elm
inality, which should consign the criminal to
eternal detestation. The criminal is either Abra-
ham Lincoln or Geo. B. Mcclellan. There is
nc third man in his judgment. The criminal
should suffer the extreme penalty of the law.
Stanton is unspsringly denounced by the New

HUNDRED CAPTURE or CUE

Il ~ - We As
A report reached this city last evening, by
passengers direct from Memphis, that intelii-
gence had been received in the latter city of the
surrender of the Federal forces in Arkansas,
under Gen. CURTIS, to Cen. HINDMAN. It has
been for sometime a we'll ascertsined fact in the
South that the energy of our friends had got the
enemy west of the Mississippi in a critical posi-
~tiOn-which was acknowledged by the North
ern press-and we have reason to believe the
report true, unless CURTIS has, as the ST. Louis
Republican said he would have to do, "eu has
,5ay out" The arrivals from Memphis have no
doubt Of the fact of the capture of the forces
named, together with some fifteen thousand
stand Of arms.
The brigade sent up White river to reinforce
CURTIS, returned to Memphis some days ago,
and the commander, Col FITCH, reported that
be found it impossible to open communication
with the ~beleaguered force. Everything has for
sometime pointed to the result mentioned above,
and we think its occurrence, as indicated, high
~ probable.

"a Brigadier-G General Schurz, who has been

restoration and maintenance of the Union.
Those opinions he expressed in a speech at the

ego, in which, among other remarkable flights,
the following emphatic passage occurs:
There were men in the North and South ready
TO favor the rebellion as long as it had a chance
of success. But if such an attempt should
succeed, it would lead to a new struggle. "a

RECAPTURED Yesterday afternoon the Yam
kee captain, Clay Crawford, who was tax en-
prisoner at Dresden, and afterward escaped
from prison in Macon, was brought to this
place by Co. f. T. EsteIl, of Winchester, Tenn,
and DIR. u. r. Angling, of Jacksonville, Ala.
The prisoner, we learn, had made bis way to
North Alabama, and very soon would have en-
tered the Federal lines, had he not been detect
ed. He was out Of money, and found many
difficulties in travelling under existing circum-
stances. He positively denied his identity all
the while until be was delivered up TO the com
mandcr of the post at this place, when be said
it was no use to make any further denial, and
that he was the person he was taken for by his
cautors. He leaves for his old quarters at Ma

whole of Saturday and Sunday, the 10Th and
3oth ult, the enemy was landing either rein
foYcements or heavy guns from a large steamer
and several sailing transports lying in the stonO

THE VICTORY.-Gen. Lee is q cautious and
sincere man, and not likely to arrogate to him
self and the Con e lerate army more than be-
longs to them. The fact that he directed Gen.
PembertOn to nave a salute of 100 guns fired in
honor of our victcry over the grand army of
Mcclellan, is strongly indicative of the certainty
of thai success.
Gen. Pemberton, on Tuesday morning, or
dered the salute to be given on James Island, a
very suitable point from which to extend the
news to all concerned, though Fort Sumter
would have been more appropriate. Wonder if

COLORED Spy CAPTURED.-We learn, says
the Savannah NetoS, of the 9Th, that Capt. w.
n. Hazard, of the Georgia cavalry, while on a
scout a few days since, discovered three negroes.
Two of them escaped-the third was captured.
He confessed that he had been sent by the Fed
erals to give information, and was to give a GER
tain signal, when they were to land in force and
burn the railroad bridge on the Altamahs, near
DOctOrtOwn.
Captain H., by using The password obtained
from the negro, visited st. Simond's Island, and
went over it. He saw a few white soldiers, and
thinks there are at lest two hundred runaway
negroes on the island. The Yankees have q
strong picket ON the northeastern portion of the
island, and a gunboat stationed off st a short
distance. He also reports a gunboat at the
mouth of McCay river. The negro has been
brought up to this city, and is confined in the
barracks. He belongs to a gentleman in HOus-
ton county, and passed through Savannah on
his way TO the Yankees.

CANAL OPPOSITE VICKsBURG.-We learn
from a gentleman just from Vicksburg that the
Yankees are cutting q canal across the bend of
the river opposite that city that they pressed
DR.. Gibbs negroes for the purpose of digging,
and the doctor went to the canal himself and
reports that they have actually gone so far with
the work that the water was running through.
II appears from this that there is no truth in the
statement that they were building a railroad.
However, as a canal cannot be made effsctual in
changing the current of the river until fall they
may have prepared for the rise in the river, and
also build d railroad for present purposes. We
hear so much from Vicksburg that we only give
this as one of the rumors -MiSSiSSippjaR.

the news that English and French war vessels
are not only ~blocksding the entrance to the
