SrENGTH OF THE YANKEES ON TIE
MIssIssIppI.-A highly intelligent cores
poudent writes to the Mobile Tribune that
the Federal forces on the Mississippi are
greatly exaggerated. From authentic sour
ces have formed estimates which I think
you will find more reliable than the extray.
agant statements published. The dispo-,
sable force of Grant does not exceed 49,
600 men. With these he will have to de.
fend the two banks of the. river, and to pur-
sue and destroy Johnston and Kirby
Smiths armies, and to maintain strong
garrison at Vicksburg and at other points.
He can get no reinforcements--he has ex-
hausted all there. Banks has. not Is, 900,
all told, to hold Louisiana, and he has to
garrison New Orleans, Port Hudson, Don
aldson and the forts. The force 10 the field
does not exceed that which Taylor aud Ma
gruder can bring to bear against him
These Generals already. hold the Western
part of Louisiana if Banks pursues them to
the interior he leaves weak force on the
river, and our light troops can operate with
great effect. Whilst our armies must in.
crease, those Of the enemy must diminish.
Vicksburg has already cost General Grant
half of his original army.

From Gen. Lees Army.

Passengers by the Central cars last even
ing communicated nothing new 10 regard to
the situation Oh the Rsppdhannock. Our
cavalry had severe skirmish with the en-.
emy on Monday, near Brandy Station, in
which the enemy lost twenty killed and fif.
teen captured. Our loss was three wound.
ed only. We surprised the enemy, which
accounts for our small loss, as the Yankees
retreated Immediately. Gen. Meade was
in heavy force. at Warrenton, and his army
was gradually approaching stamping ground,
Stafford, and Falmouth heights.
Gen. Imboden, and our other forces in
the Valley, met the enemy on Monday and
Tuesday last, and checked their advance to-
wards Harrisonburg. The fighting was Sc
vere,. but the loss on our side was not esti-
mated. Several of the killed and wound
ed of the enemy remained in our hands
The Yankees retreated towards Winchester,
where they have force:
1t is very evident from the position of
affairs that battle is doubtful, unless it is
brought on by Gen. Lee. Meade is one of
the slow coaches; aud won't fight unless he
stumble upon an opportunity "A battle is
inevitable in September, but it will not be
fought before, unless Gen. Lee wills it.
He is now emphatically master of the situ-
alton. It don't matter where his army
corps are located. They are judiciously
distributed, and they will appear at the
proper place, and at the proper moment.
Soldiers who come down on furlougb, be.
cause of sickness or wounds, express sur
prise that any but the most sapguine expec-
tatiocs should be felt for the army of Nor.
thern Virginia. Its ranks were never fuller
nor the men more buoyant in the prospect
of a fight. This much is sufficient.

BRAZIL, THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC,

of sending Confederate State Commissioners

L The identity Of our slave institution

Address of Lieut.. Gen. D. Fl. Hill.

The following address was sissued by Lieu
tenant Gen. D. H. Hill, on taking COM
mand of Gen Hardee's Corps, to which he
has been assigned:
HEADQUARTERS CORPS, July "a, '63.
T General Orders, No. 81
With unfeigned difidence the undersign-
ea succeeds to the able and distinguished
soldier who SO long has commanded this
gallant corps, honoring it with his name
and leadership, and being in turn honored
by its noble bearing and glorious achieve
ments.
The example set makes plain my path
of duty, and the corps has but to contin-
ue the same consistent line Of good con-
duct and propriety which has always char
acterized it. Believing as do that rowdy.
ism and insubordination are fruitful sources
of trouble in camps, and bad behaviour in
battle, will insist upon strict discipline
All will be expected and required to rem.
der prompt and liberal compliance with
the requirements of law aud authority.
Soldiers brutal and ruthless enemy,
flushed with success, is pressing every
where upon our wasted territory, seeking to
carry fire and sword to our once happy
homes, and instead of rising with renewed
energy to drive off the invaders, thousands
and tens of thousands of able bodied young
men have skulked from the field under the
provisions of the exemption bill, regardless
of the interest, the safety, and the honor of
the country. These miserable creatures are
only concerned about the screening their
worthless carcasses from Yankee bullets.
Let these poor politicians go! The Con-
federacy looks 10 her hour of trial to your
shattered ranks, and appeals to your man
hood for that grand exhibition Of courage,
fidelity and patience, which won for our
forefathers the priceless boon of liberty
You will have many and sore trials, but
with an unwaveriug trust in God of Truth
aud Justice, and with an unconquerable
determination to be free, you will be able
to transmit the same inestimable blessings
to your descendants. .
