My estimate is under rather than in excess
of the real rebel loss. All this has been at
tanned at federal loss not exceeding 5000
killed and wounded The whole fighting part
of the campaign extended from May to July
4-64 days; the investment from the 10Th of
May to the 4th of July-45 days. Under dis
advantages of heat and dust, living on the
country, marching and fighting continually
the army of the west made the wonderful
sweep around Vicksburg and its garrison,
captured the state capital, defeated the enemy
in five pitched battles, marched 100 miles, in
ten days, assaulted their outer works, carried
three forts on the Yazoo line, and finally sat
and dug its way up to and under the rebel
Notifications.
The reasons which induced the surrender
were the want OF provisions and fear of an
assault. They had l3,OOO,O 900 rations of rock
salt, 10000 pounds of bacon, (Which have
been reserved for Il sortie,) 100000 bushels
of peas, and 100000 pounds of sugar Many
of them had lived on mule meat. 1t is GER
tain that with their stores they could not have
held out over three days. Believing that
Grant would make an assault on the 4th, the
rebel officers offered to capitulate on the Sd,
to avoid unnecessary bloodshed.- Vicksburg

Just preceding the fight at Lebanon, one of
Colonel Hanson's officers had purchased new
hat, In the lining of which he sewed up some
$500. After the surrender of the town. a
rebel, fancying the glossy appearance of the
hat on the prisoners head, snatched it off and
put it on, placing in its stead his own tattered
chapeau. Whether he has yet discovered his
prize is not known.

THE IlRAFT RIOTS.
From the Richmond Enquirer, July Is.

FROM the RichmOnu Enquirer, July 10.
Riot, murder, and conhagration, have be-
gun in New York. 1t is worlds wonder
that this good work did not commence long
ago; and this excellent outbreak may be til
opening scene of the inevitable revolution
which is to tear to pieces that most rotten So
ciety, and leave the northern half of the old
American Union desert of blood soaked
ashes We bid it good speed But all this
may have little or no effect on the war, at
least for a long time. Let us not deceive our
selves; for internal revolution and even utter
ruin in nation by no means weakcns it for
foreign aggression, of which revolution.
ary France is notable example. The
news is cheering to us, indeed, be-
cause it portends the breaking down of the
whole structure of Yankee society. Yet the
process may be long; and in the meantime the
desperate energy of their war for conquest of
the confederacy may grow more furious for
season. No matter; we can at least now see
to the end of it. This one Instruction may
be suppressed for the moment, but it will be
the parent of other and still worse cOnvul-
sions. We have but to persevere in our de-
termined resistance, grid ourselves to the task
of winning our independence more sternly
than ever yet little while, and we shall see
the giant but hollow bulk of the Yankee ma
ton bursting into fragments, and rushing
down into perdition in flames and blood.
Amen.
THE REBEL CONSUMPTION.
From the Richuo nd Examiner.
"No natlon," said Napoleon |, ''that is in
vaded is distressed for want of men, but it is
frequently ruined for want OF soldiers Raw
recruits volunteers who enter the army in a
fit of enthusiasm and strive to get out of it in
a fit of disgust, militia under arms this week
and following the pillow the rest of the month,
home guards, minute men, levies en- masse-
all that is mob, not soldlery. The conscrip-
ton law of the confederate states furnishes
real soldiers; it will furnish all and more
than all that are necessary to defend the pres
ent territory of the confederacy in war of
twenty wears. But to do so it must be more
firmly executed than it has been. In the law
itself there is no flaw. The list of exemptions
is limited to a few thousand, and would not
perceptiby diminish the fighting force of the
nation if none but those who come legitimate
" within its scope escaped service by its OPP
Grafton. The chief evil of these times is the
escape of innumerable individuals from the
service under false pretenses and by the Grim
inal indulgences of those VINO are appointed to
enforce the law.
The president has issued proclamation,
extending the operation of the law to its true
limit. Hitherto, men under forty years only
have been conscrbed. Hereafter, all under
forty-tive are called to arms, according to the
provisions of the law. 1t is wise step. The
best, bravest, hardest soldiers will be found
in the last class of conscripts. Though the

THE Two LETTERS


We were surprised to hear, few DAYS az
ter our remarks, Oct. 70, on Bishop Hop
kins reply to the protest Of Bishop Potter
and his associates, that the Bishop charged
us with treating him unfairly, by implying
that his letter TO the Philadelphia men was
identical with the one written by him TO the
New York men, Jan. 30, 1861 From all
that we had then seen IN the PHILADELPHIA
papsrs We supposed there was no difference.
none at least worth noticing, between them.
We find however that certain paragraphs
which were IN the letter Of Jan. 80. 1861.
were left out Of the one written to the Phil
adelphians. How much the omission amount
ed to viii be seen presently.
We take the following letters from the
Philadelphia laqlareT Of Sept. Q.
PHILADELPHIA, April IS, 1863.
Righi Reueread Sir;
Your views on the Scriptural
aspect OF Slavery, contained in 8 letter addressed
by you TO some gentlemen in New York, shortly
oelOie tIe ureaAlhg out OF the war, has come 10
our notice, and been perused with much salts
faction and profit
We believe that false teachings on this subject
have had great deal TO do with bringing on the
unhappy strife between the two sections Of our
common country, and that lsmentable degree
Of ignorance prevails il regard TO IL Itis Of the
deepest Importance to the public welfare that q
sound public opinion should exist on this topic.
Believing that the communication Of your views,
a. Christian Bishop, on the scripturzl aspect
Of Slavery may contribute 10 this desirable result
We respectfully venture to beg that you will favor
US with them, and permit Us to make them pub
lie.
We are, with great respect,
