THE SITUATION,

Some of our Northern contemporaries seem
greatly distressed with the idea that Meades
army is acting only as sort Of tender to Lee,
moving along without plan in his rear, and
only waiting till the rebels get decently out of
the way en- route to Richmond to abandon the
pursuit, and end the campaign; the two armies
to occupy their heretofore attitude confronting
each other from opposite banks Of the Rappa-
hammock.
A greater mistake could net be made; and
the fact is already known in Richmond, that
Meade is even now in occupation OF points
which will render it impossible for Lee to take
choice of positions on the stragetical line he
occupied prior to his invasion of Maryland
Lee has probably succeeded in getting into
Eastern Virginia by way OF Chester Gap, and
is now it may be at Culpeper, but ssthere is no
rest for the wicked" and both JeH Davis
and Lee are aware that Meade's army
Is in a position that threatens infinitely more
danger to them than when scattered to watch
the various Gaps OF the mountains, and where
as thus dispersed and divided it would amount
to little more than an army of obser walton.
Instead of affairs settling down to the old
line OF quietude s'along the limo Of the Kappa
hammock" it would not be surprising if the
next fortnight witnessed some of the most
stir ing events Of the war.

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-Special dispatches
from Memphis on the ed, give the particulars
OF The occupation of Jackson.
On the 18th inst. a portion of our forces,
under General Parke, made an attack and
South Carolina, who, after an engagement of
half an hour, retreated with a loss OF 800.
Our troops occupied their position until next
morning, when they made second advance
and discovered that the rebels had evacuated
the place, Getting fire to a number OF houses
con aiming commissary stores, which were en-
ureiy consumed, in addition to some forty other
houses ignited from the houses fired by The
rebels.
The city was at once occupied by Sherman,
who sent cavalry to interrupt communication
and prevent the srmy of Johnston from joining
Bragg, which was supposed he would endeavor
to do. The rebel army left little behind, taking
all their sick with them.
Deserters are continually coming in from
Johnston's army, and express themselves dis.
satif1ed with the shape OF the campaign. They
are willing to throw down their arms and take
the oath of allegiance.
The Federal loss in various skirmishes and
assaults amount to 900 men. Few people were
found in the place, most OF which were for
eigners. Pemberton was cursed literally as a
traitor and unworthy OF their confidence
At Vicksburg the Federal works are beingIey-

WASHINGTON, July 27.-An important error
of fact occurs in advices from Headquarters of
Army of Potomac, published this morning
The correction which the correspondent de.
sired to be made, though written yesterday,
was not received through special messenger
until to-day.
He says on the 22d instant while Longstreet
was endeavoring TO get into Eastern Virginia
by way of Manassas Gap, A. p. Hills corps
took possession of Chester Gap.
Our cavalry made an attempt to drive him
out, but he was too strongly fortified for sue
cess.
They, however, kept him in check until re-
inforced by Longstreet, when both these COM
rnanders came through the Gap, and are now
probably in Culpeper.
It was Longstreet's command which was
seen near AmissvifIe. Ewelrs corps went to
Strasburg.

II is to be hoped that the corporate authorities
will take some immef late action to remove or
abate that most Intolerable nuisance lately
complained of by the citizens of our town, in
petition to the Town Councils
Since the war there have been put in opera
ton several bone mills, and other establish
ments for boiling and rending up offensive
meats picked up around the camps and other
places; and being located in the immediate
neighborhood of many private residences, and
the stencil arising from them being SO very
offensive, the citizens are making many loud
complaints, having often to close their windows
shut out the offensive odor.
Yesterday, noticed some soldiers, headed
by detective officer, enter a house on the ia
nous Irish Hill, from which they soon returned
with considerable lot of army clothing, blan-
kets, &c.
Yesterday, while some of the soldiers sta
toned at the aqueduct bridge was cfim bling out

day, Fort Wagner was silenced for some time,
and Its eolors shot away. The new Union bat.
teres were opened upon the rebels, doing great
execution.
A charge was made upon Fort Wagner, and
our troops, after q desperate struggle, were
obliged to fall back. which they did in excel
lent order, and held their old positions. "
The loss on our side is quite severe, but our
since the 10th instant, is only about one thou

THE ENEMY D1spIRITED AND TAGGED OUT
GENERAL spIHoLA WOUNDED.

On Thursday last, July 23d, J while the third
were lying at the mouth of Manassas Gap, (this
side, information was received that Gen Long
street was sending a brigade of his corps for
ward in order to possess himself of the gap.
Gen. +. B. Spinola, commanding the Excel
sior brigade $500 muskets) of that corps was at
once ordered forward. The Commanding
General supposed that the Rebels were only
in small force, on and behind the crest of
hill, about one mile from the Gap, between it
and Front Royal, and therefore supposed this
brigade was sufficient to dislodge the enemy
About quarter of a mile from the crest Of
the hill referred to, there was stone wall,
and behind that also there was small rebel
force.
Gen. Spinola at once took an observation of
the ground, and after pointing ont to his regi-
mental commanders the work they would have
to perform, he ordered his gallant brigade for
ward, and with fixed bayonets and a yell that
betokened their determination to succeed, thew
rushed forward, and the rebels quickly fled
from the hill and took refuge behind the stone
wall.
UP to this the brigade rushed also, when
from behind it rose a whole brigade OF GeoreiAs
and two regiments of North Carolina sharp
shooters, all under command of Gen. Ander-
son. But our troops needed them not but
amid a shower of rifle bullets and artillery in
front and on the flank pushed forward, and
with the bayonet drove the rebels from their
protection and sent them scampering over the
field.
The rebel loss was not less than 500 in killed,
wounded, and missing. We had no artillery,
while the rebels had at least seventeen pieces
That night our soldiers bivouacked upon the
battle ground, and the next morning marched
into Front Royal.
In this fight, 1t is the opinion of military
men, that the rebels outnumbered us at least
six to one, but they appeared to be completely
tagged out, and after being dislodged from
the stone wall they could not move up a hill
in their way in an upright position, but erawled
upon their hands and knees, thus giving our
men an opportunity to pour in an effective
fire-an opportunity they fully awaited them
selves, and gave the Rebs, as one of the ofti-
GERS expresses ii, ssH-ll under the shirt tails"
In this fight Gen. Spinola received two very
severe wounds, one in the right foot, which
tore open the heel for two or three inches, and
another through the fieshy part OF the right
side. The first mentioned wound is by far the
most painful and serious; but is doing as well
as could be expected.
The General arrived at the Metropolitan
Hotel, in this city, this morning, having been
in the meantime since he received his wound,
in an ambulance. He purposes leaving to-
morrow for his home in New York.
Gen. Spinola is loud in his praise of the man
ner in which his whole command, officers,
privates and all, behaved. His adjutant gen
eral was the first to cross the stone wall.
General S. himself was wounded when but
a few feet from it, and the wounds came in
quick succession, scarcely moment elapsing
between them.
