TO THE FREEMAN.


New YORK, Aug. 7. The Mobile .Ns,os of
the 3Oth has leader on respondents and croak-
ers. 1t tells the citizens to avoid them as thew
would pestience, and states that Gen. Grants
army has mostly gone 10 Virginia, where the
great final struggle is to take place. 1t calls
upon the citizens of Alabama, Mississippi and
Georgia to join Bragg and Johnston and all will
be we'll. We are ut the point when this con-
federacy should throw everything into the
scales and turn the tide of the campaign. Lin
coin can put no more men into the field, and if
they only check the Yankees now he is used up
and the revolution in the North is at an end.
The article closes very bitterly as follows
" We have to choose the whip of the staue or
the whip of the master. Choose ye ;"
Among the recent arrivals from Europe is
Pierre Soule, who says he Is lot sanguine of
mediation ON the part of the Emperor OF the
French on the ground of the popularity of the
movements in Mexico.
Inc bombardmant near Charleston was more
spirited on the 29ih. The Federals were erect
ing their new batteries within 600 yards of fort
wagner, our new batteries on James Island
causing them much annoyance. Two Thousand
more Federals had been landed on Folly Island
The Yankees had captured three blockade run
ners.
Parties from Middletown represent the condi-
tlon of the people as horrible, they having moth
ing to eat.
Richmond dispatch of the 28th says in the
tight at Manassas Gap we lost 1900 killed and
wounded, when we retired, overpowerea by su-
perior numbers
The Mobile News of the 3lst says, editorially,
Gen. Pemberton's conduct in paroling the
Vlcksburg prisoners is being investigated. We
hope his head will be struck off, for he could not
have struck a heavier blow to the Conederacy.
Pemberton army is disposed of, and the Texas
and Alabama troops, which have crossed the
Mississippi, lost beyond control. The whole
mass of the remainder is precipitated upon
Johnstons camp to eat his stores, discourage
end decimate his ranks, and now they are or
dered to report to the same officer as fast as ex-
changed, which they will not do, as they hate
him. If Pemberton is again assigned to the
command of that army j. will be equivalent to
its humiliation.
