THE AsC0T RACES ENGLAND.-Ths Ascot races
took place the 9th inst. The London correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes
This has been the arisOcratic racing week, distin
gushed from the Derby by the fact that the races at
Ascot attended almost exclusively by the upper
classes, while at EPSON all classes mngle in inextrca-
BILE confusion. The Queen never went to Ep-
som, but always to Ascot. This year the
the first time that royalty has been represented
for three years The attendance very great and
the performances exciting. Our countryman Mr.. Ten
Brock il the list, but none Of his horses were
successful Now and then good grows out of this
institution. MIR. Naylor, the owner of the winning
Derby horse sent five thousand dollars to the Mayor
Liverpool to be distributed among the charitable inst
tutions of that CITY, He also gave his jockey the
amount and his trainer fifteen thousand dollars. 1t il
not often that successful turfman is liberal Mr.
Naylor owever could well afford to be LIBERAL for the
aggregat amount of his winnings exceeded two hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.

The Army In virglnla-Ho,y Fed.

The army correspondent of the Savannah Republican
F. w A, gives the following highly interesting facts in
regard TO the number OF horses &C. in the army and
how they subssted
The number of horses in this army including cavalry
artillery quarermaster department, and field and staff
is not far from 80 900. And this Notwithstanding the
transportation has been reduced to The lowest possible
standard To supply these animals with the usual ra
tons of and hay, would require 1900 bushels Of
the former 100000 pounds OF the latter per day
The labor and expense of supplying so large quantity
of forage necessarily very heavy Fortunately for
u.s. we'll the horses neither army has occupied this
part of the State since last November and consequent
IT, the supply Of grass clover and timothy is abundant
otherwise it would be Impossible to subsist 50 many
animals with our limited wagon and railway transpor-
tation and at time of SO much scarcity the present
You will be surprised to hear therefore, that the
horses receive no hay at ALL and very seldom any fod
der and only Onehird the usual ration Of corn. And
yet have seen them in better condition 1t is
reported that the grazing in the counties between the
Rappahann Eek and the Upper Potomac is equally as
good in this vicinity Many Of the farms have been
deserted and much o. the fencing DESTROYED but it is
believed that the supply OF grass though abund
ant In times OF peace is ample for wants. should
the army advances The farmers allowed ten cents
day for grazing of each horse, which would make the
total cost of grazing 5000 horses, $4,000 per day
othng has been said about the supply OF provisions
for the troops, but you will from the o going how
difficult it would be to subsis such army this in
of the cotton States Indeed could not be done
in ordinary times, without large increase in our trans
portation and full grana les elsewhere to draw from
No State in the Conf deracy so we'll prepared to sus-
tain large army as Virginia. She produces a vast
amount of beef mutton, WOOL leather, wheat hay coal
and iron, is fruitful and we'll watered and grows the
best horses on the Western Hemisphere But at least
onethird of her territory is in possession of the
envy large portion of her population is in the army,
and her supply of foodand animals have been much
reduced to make it necessary for quartermrser ard
commssary departments to look elsewhere for the
of subsistence.
Every man in the Confederate States therefore who
has the ability should diversity his pursuits least
far to devote something of his time and means to the
raising of horses cattle and sheep and the production
of small grain and frus-everything, indeed, which
will help to feed, clothe and an army. No peo-

THE FALL OF VICKSBURG.
Some Particulars of the Surrender.

New York, July S.-The Tribune has the
following special
Chictasale Bayou, Friday, July 8; via
Cairo, July 7, fredericksburg is ours.
Firing from our front ceased this morning,
pending negotiations for surrender, which
have occupied the greater part of the day.
The only contested point touching the sur
render has been in reference to what shall be
done with Gen. Pemberton's army. He asks
and demands that while the surrender is I'M
conditional in other respects, the garrison
which has so long and so heroically resisted
our army, shall be spared unnecessary hui
initiation, aud shall be paroled in Vicksburg.
This will be probably conceded from motives
of expediency alone, and not as a condition,
as it will save an immense expenditure for
transportation and subsistence. Gems. Grant
and Pemberton had long private interview,
at the latter's request, in relation to the sur
render, before it was determined. Officers
accompanying the flag Of truce, have indicat-
ed by their conversation, that all that has been
written and published IN the north concerning
the suffering of the rebels in Vicksburg has
been but half the truth. There are about
twenty-five thousand people in Vicksburg,
only ten thousand of whom are efficient
soldiers. Our army will take possession to-
morrow morning. The surrender is just in
time to save both armies from the loss and de-
struction of life which would have attended an
attempt to carry the works of the enemy by
storm, as such an attempt had been determin-
ed for tomorrow morning. Not having been
allowed an inside view before the departure of
the dispatch boat, cannot give such interest
ing details as may be desired. Col. MARYLAND
of the special post Office department will on
the 9Th establish post office in Vicksbnrg.
New YORK, July 9.-The Worlds dispatch
from Grants headquarters, p. NJ, July 3,
says, a flag of truce from Pemberton appeared
at s A. NJ. with communication proposing
appointment of commissioners to arrange
terms to which Grant responded: ''The only
terms l can entertain are those of uncondi-
tional surrender" Subsequently Grant met
Pemberton, and after an hours consultation,
settled the surrender, the former consenting
to parole the soldiers. The number of pris-
oners wounded, &C., is said to be $4,000,
$4,000 being in fighting condition. The i'm
mediate cause Of the surrender is the eX-
haustion OF supplies and ammunition, and
failure of Johnston to relieve them Our ar
my will enter Vicksburg triumphantly at day
light, doubly celebrating the Fourth. gen.
eral Interchange of civilities extends all along
the lines.

WASHINGTON, July S.-The following has
been received at headquarters of the army:
HEADQUARTERS SIXTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
July 5, 1S63.-Maj Gen. HalIeck, General
in Chief Gen Prentiss attacked in
force by the rebels under Holmes and Price,
at Helena yesterday. He estimates the force
at $4,000. l think 5000 will cover their
strength Gen. Prentiss sustained their attack
until 3 P NJ, from daylight, when the rebels
were repulsed at all points, leaving us 1900
prisoners. Their loss in killed and wounded
is about 800 or 600. Gen. Prentiss lost about
60. He has already sent me $50 prisoners,
which 1 send to Alton to-day in the Silver
Moon. (Signed)
A. A. HURLBUT, Maj. Gen. Com'dg.
MEMPHIS, July 7.--Gen. Hurlbut has fur

Gen. Prentiss -
headquarters District Of arkansas, He
lena, July 1--WE haye been hard pressed
since daylight by the combined forces of
Price, Holmes, Marmaduke, Parsons, and
others. Thus far we have held our own and
captured several hundred prisoners, whom
send you on board the steamer Tycoon. The
enemy are now evidently preparing for re-
neWal OF the attack in force. Send on anoth-
er gunboat if possible. The Tyler has done
good service to-day.
Later-3 o'clock P. M-We have repulsed
the enemy at every point. Our soldiers are
now collecting their wounded. We have
taken in all 1900 prisoners. The rebel loss
in killed will reach 500 or 600. Although
the rebels are badly whipped there is no
doubt that they will renew the attack, and
they are now moving their troops for that
purpose. My force is inferior to the rebels,
but with the aid expected from you and the
gunboats, the rebels may be severely beaten.
The steamers Tycoon and Silver Moon
have arrived with $50 prisoners, captured
yesterday, including so commissioned Off
GERS. No details of the light have been re-
ceived. Prominent officers report our loss in
killed and wounded at not over 60. The reb-
els captured of oar guns, which were after
wards recaptured. 1t is reported that the
colored troops fought well. Gen. Hurlburt
will send forward reinforcements promptly.

New YORK, July S.-The Evening Post
has the following Capt. Ryerson, of the
18th New Jersey regiment who reached home
at Newark this morning, says, before he left
his regiment, Gen. Meade made an address
to his army, in which he stated that the rebel
loss was $4,000. Gen. Meade has captured
in all sixty pieces of artillery. The Post says
Capt Ryerson is a man Of character and in
telligence, and entirely trustworthy.
BALTIMORE, July 8.-The Americans Fred
erick letter, dated this morning, says: at is
no longer question whether the Potomac is
forbade, but whether any bridge the rebels
may have would stand before such a flood"
1t speaks of active army operations. Our
cavalry are continually picking up prisoners,
and send them in by hundreds; also capturing
or burning rebel trains. The rebels are aban
doning their wounded, whom they placed in
wagons taken from farms along the road "If
Lee is detained at the river, his case will be
most desperate if not hopeless"
WASHINGTON, July S.--No information has
been received trOmWil liamsport to two o'clock
to-day. 1t is not believed there was fight
there yesterday, although it is probable that
Gen. Sedgwick has done the enemy's rear
much damage.

brother Henry, of the 10Th regiment Many
of the colonies and leading officers who fell

letter from Henry Ward, giving statement
OF the circumstances attending Col. Wards
death -
WESTMINSTER, MD, July 4, 1868.
suppose you have heard the sad sad fate
of George, ere this. His body is now on the
way home. l got him away as soon as 1
could under the circumstances. He was
wounded in the leg bya MIME ball, on Thurs
day, about O'Clock P. M. The artery was
severed, and he bed to death.
He fought well. He had sent his horse to
the rear, and l felt then, that, if we should be
obliged to retreat, it would be all up with
him. He was wounded while fighting at the
head of his brigade. The fight continued for
five hours, and during the confusion we were
unable 10 find him for two hours. searched
all over the battle field, amid shells and balls,
hunting for him. We got him to hospital
about dark. He was insensible, bnt the sur
geon gave him whiskey, which revived him;
and he said to the doctor, 81 shall not live
two hours" After this, his mind was wander
ing, and he imagined himself at the head of
his brigade, commanding troops, and urging
them to fight bravely. He died Friday morn
ing at daylight. He was in command of the
brigade, and went into the fight cheerfully.
l have travelled all around for two days, try
ing to get team to get his body to Westmins-
ter, the nearest depot thirty miles distant;
but every team is at work with the wounded,
and no one will touch the dead
A great many generals and colonies have

our mail has been captured by the rebels.
Therefore, that you may get this letter safely,

Thousands and thousands have
