those in Michigan.
The facilities which Michigan affords for manufac-
turing and transporting lumber great the

piled from this source, is large, and the area of

small that the value of these lands must yearly adj
vance in constantly increasing ratio This sale
presents the greatest chance for selecting valuable
timber lands. either in large small bodies that

NEwBERS, N. c., July IL.
Gen. Foster leaves to-day for Fortress Mon
roe to organize his command. If government
will furnish him with respectable force,
which it has THUS far been unable to do, I'M
portaut and lasting results will at once be real
lied, for a more active, persevering and
able leader is not TO be found. For the past
few days much activity has been exhibited in
this department.
The Raleigh Standard is in favor of recon-
struction OF the Union, and thinks it probable
that the terms of reconstruction between the
North and South will be the adoption of grad
ual emancipation by all the rebelious States,
which North Carolina, in common with other
States, will accept, if the Federal government
!, insists upon the same as the only terms that
can be granted, Notwithstanding the life of the
institution is not In the least impaired by this
war, as is generally believed at the North.
Nothing but great standing army between
master and slaves could impair the institution
over which is thrown the State and Municipal
laws together, with the inherent will of the
Southern people. Hence these terms are the
cheapest government can offer, and best the
South can accept.
The Wilmington, n. c., Journal, originally
secession sheet, in speaking OF the Assembly
of North Carolina Legislature upon the call
OF Gov. Vance, to ostensiby consider the
questioe of Confederate currency, charges that
other and more important objects occasioned
the called session.
1t bitterly denounces reconstructonists as
intending TO use the Legislature AS Q means
of accomplishing other purposes.
The Raleigh State Journal alleges the dis
covery of secret political organization whose
purposes are most infamous and reasonable,
which has doubtless Publications throughout
the State, and says developments may swiftly
be made which will startle the most apathetic.

From Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 10.
There Is nothing definitely known about
Lees army. Tue impression is, he is making
his way to Culpepper and Gordonsville with
all possible speed.
The Navy Department receiveda commune
cation from Rear Admiral Porter, dated 9th,
In which he states, that having received init
nation from various sources on the 21st uit.,
that rebel Gen. Rice was moving from Arkan-
sas towards the Mississippi river, he made
proper disposition to meet the rebels at such
points as he knew to be assalable, in sending
a force to Helena. The Bragg, Tyler and
Hastings, were the vessels detailed. The OBJ
ject of the expedition was TO prevent the reb-
els from their design Of moving ON some point
on the river, and cutting off and out our trans
ports and relieve Vicksburg. They attacked
the outposts of our troops on the 4th with
their whole force, and, Is the works were
slight, succeeded in getting possession of
small fort and four light guns.
The troops under Gen. Prentss behaved
most nobly in the engagement, and at the
writing of Admiral Porter's report, Price was
retreating towards Alexandria.
Rear Admiral Farragut, in report to the
Navy Department, dated 10th, states, 81 have
the honor to inform the Government that we
have Port Hudson" On the Eth, IL received
a note from Commander Palmer, of the Hart
lOfu, stdtluR tudt SuHUoat Iffcc nau arrived
from Vicksburg, with a bearer of dispatches
to Gen. Banks, announcing the surrender of
-Vicksburg. Upon receiving this Intelligence
Gen. Banks proposed to me TO join in firing a
salute of 100 guns as vat feu de joie. Being
called down the river by knowledge that the
Texans were erecting batteries on the river to
cut off Gen. Banks supplies, proceeded to
Donaldsyile at Baton Rouge, and found an
army transport with bearer Of dispatches to
Gen. Emory, commanding the dcienees Of New
Orleans, announcing the fall of Vicksburg, l
sent two boats to convoy her. On my way up
l met the Monongahela and New London,
which vessels had just had fight with the
batteries, and grieve to say Commander Bead
was mortally wounded. Well might it be said,
"The country could have better spared anotll-
er man." l know nothing of him prejudicial
as man, but l do know that no Navy can
boast of better officer, and l deem him
great loss both to the Navy and his country
Capt jenkins was also on board the Mononga-
hea on his way up to take command of the
Richmond. He was wounded by the same
shot.
