The Casualties.

We have heard Of but few casualties in the
regiments from this part Of the State in the
late battles near Gettysburg. A few letters
have been received, none Of them giving any
thing like general list. One states that Capts.
Jno. M. Vermillion and W. P. Harris, and
Lieuts. .Jno. R. Moore and D. Harris were
killed. These all belonged to the 48th regi-
ment, and we're, we believe, from Scott coun-
ty. The loss Of the regiment is said to have
beeu 20 per cent
Another letter states that David Roberts,
son of Henry Roberts. Esq, Isaac Fleenor,
son Of Maj. Thos. Fieenor, and Robert Flee
nor. son Of Mr.. VIM. G. Fleenor, were killed.
They belonged to the 48th also.
Another letter states that Dan. Johnston
was wounded and Lieut.. JAS. Johnston cap
tured, both sons of Mr.. Hugh Johnston, of
this place, and members of the 9th regiment.
VIM. Saul, Of the same regiment, was also
wounded, and VIM. Thomas was killed. The
latter was son of Mr.. Frederick Thomas,
decd. He had but just attained his 18th year,
and joined the army since the battle of Chan
cellorsville. These were all the casualties in

Rev. WIN. MCGEE,

Minister in chargAof the Methodist Protest
ant Church Of Lynehburg, has been in our
place recently, and preached day and night
emitting only two services from the 4th to
the 18th inst.
The congregations were large and attentive,
and atstimes there was good deal Of interest
in the services. Though there has been no
conversions during the protracted services,
still the exercises hsve been interesting and
profitable to the congregation.
Mr.. McGee has few superiors as a preacher.
We have heard more eloquent men, but have
rarely heard succession Of disceurses more
forcible. As speaker, he readily commands
the fullest attention Of his audience, and in
his illustrations Of Bible truth is always ex-
csedingly plain, succint and convincing.

The Situation in Maryland.

Under this caption, the Richmond Enqui-
rer Of the 18th ssys- The Presidentreceived
a letter from Gen. Lee on Saturday, which
puts to rest all anxieties in relation to the 81
tuation Of our army in Maryland, and confirms
the statements which have been made, that
our army has been uniformly victorious in its
encounters with the enemy in Pennsylvania.
The letter states, in effect, that the engage
ments at Gettysburg resulted in defeating the
enemy completely, in killing and wounding
number far exceeding our own, and in the
capture of large number Of prisoners that
the falling back Of our army to Hagers.own
was a prudential move, not occasioned by any.
success on the part of the enemy, and not
through any apprehension of contingencies a
rising which might ensure success at that
point. The gist Of the letter, in few words
is, that the enemy was even more thoroughly
CUT and whipped than he has ever been
upon Southern soil, and that the occupation
OF Hagerstown was a movement dictated by
strategy and prudence, as essential to the sue
cess ct the campaign. The secret involved in
this movement may as well be left to General
Lee to develop in bis own good time. The
prisoners in our hands and on the way here,
are, we understand, estimated at between Is
and, $4,000. The army is in fine spirits and
excellent condition"

The Fall of Vicksburg Confirmed.
Yankee Loss Estimated at Is to 20, 900.

men were allowed to march out. Grant re-
piled that no man should leave except as a
prisoner; after consultation with his Conn

dered.
There was tremendous rejoicing all over
the North. Lincoln was serenaded and repli-

Dispatches of July 7th 9 2. M, say that
big fight was going on at Williamsport, the

closely watching his diseomftted but willy foe,
and an engagement was expected in a day OF
two.

Carlisle Barracks.

These barracks, which have recently been
DESTROYED by the Confederates, have ahistoric
nemory attached to them. They were built
in TIT, chiefly by number Of Hessians,
made prisoners at Trenton. Major Andre
was for some time held there as prisoner Of
war, and Washington had his headquarters
there in 1894, during the Whisky Insured
ton. Nothing but the walls Of the old struc.
tare are now left standing. The Dickinson
Methodist College, founded in 1888, is one Of
the features Of the place also; but, with the
exception Of a few shells from Lees guns,
which fell in the grounds, it was not modest

Loss Of Vicksburg.

While the fall Of Vicksburg is deeply de-
plored by us all, it must not be forgotten, in
mitigation Of the disaster, that in itself, it is
of bat little Importance, and that the city on
~ became point of interest to the world be-
cause Of the heroic and unexpected defence
made of it by its gallant garrison. When
New Orleans fell, Vicksburg was considered
no more than any other of the towns and vii
lagos which stud the banks Of the Mississippi,
and no one supposed for one moment that it
would ever become the object of such historic
interest as now attaches to it. But the Con-
federates proceeded by degrees to fortity it,
and in time it was made, with It's great natu-
raj advantages one of the strongest fortified
towns in the world. For long time it was
the only barrier to the free navigation of the
river upon whose banks it stands. Then it
was the terror Of Yankee gunboats, and final
" withstood for six weeks one Of the severest
sieges, and some Of the most tremendous as
saults, which ever assailed a fortress. 1t is
these things which have endeared Yicksburg
to the hearts Of the Southern people, and it
is these associations which make us regret SO
deeply its final fall. But of what advantage
will it be to the enemy? 1t gives him no
more territory than he had before, and no
more OF Jn0 RESOURCES VI WAL LII uOeS uOG
give him the free navigation Of the Mississippi
river, except to, bis gunboats, and that he had
before with only slight impediments. There
are thousand points from which our guns
will be able to destroy every wooden craft
which Yankee commerce may attempt to float
upon its bosom. The gain to the enemy,
therefore, is small, and by no means compen-
safes them for the terrible loss which they
have sustained in its capture.
One evil consequence, however, will result
to our cause by this disaster. It will prolong
the war It will encourage the enemy, en-
barrass the peace party at the North, and
make Lincoln mere insolent in his conduct
and pretensions Having carried one point
they will hope to carry another, and yet an
other, and upon these visionary hopes, they
will continue to prosecute the war to the close
of the present Administration. But this dis.
couraging view of the subject must not, and
will not, dishearten on. people. Everything
we have sacred and valuable as people, is
involved in the struggle, and we have nothing
to do but to look all dangers and disasters
full in the face, and prepare to meet them as
freemen. -Llynchbugy Republican.

Liberal Contributions.

Rev. B. S. Cailaghan, agent to collect mo-
MES, &C., to furnish the Hospitals in Lynch

this week, and was quite successful. Contri-
buttons in money, amounting to some $3.50.
were obtained.

luxury Of doing good by handing liberal do

The Battles at Gettysburg.
Federal Loss IN Officers Unprecedented

Federal Loss in Officers Unprecedented.
RICHMOND, July 10th.
The Baltimore Gazette of the 7th says,
what we really know in regard to the battles
at Gettysburg, is simply that the Confederates
were attacked Wednesday, by two army
corps, which they drove back with great
slaughter, capturing many prisoners.
Thursday afternoon the whole Federal
force was attacked by the Confederates, and
after sanguinary conflict we repulsed them.
Friday the battle was renewed and lasted
throughout the day; it resulted in a more
signal repulse than the preceding day.
3 The losses were extraordinarily severe, the
Federal loss among officers was beyond all
precedent.
Saturday night Lee fell back towards the
mountains. what followed since is almost
wholly conjectural, but it is now admitted
that he passed South Mountain and will SIGHT
OF retreat as circumstances may dictate.
The Pontoon bridges at Williamsport were
not destroyed.

The French in Mexico.

The fall Of Puebla has been followed by the
evacuation Of the Mexican Capital. Jnarez
and his Cabinet, with an irregularly organlz-
ed body Of armed followers and considera-
BILE sum in cash, have taken refuge, it is said,
in San Luis Potosi, and the French entering
the Metropolis in triumph have been welcom-

The News.

Our columns to-day will be found to contain
matter Of deep interest, tho not much news
very definite in its character. A great deal
Of uneasiness having been felt about the stu
alton Of Gen. Lees army, public anxiety will
be greatly relieved by the accounts We pub
lish to-day.
We have nothing further from Vicksburg
since our last, except that the whole army did
not surrender. Thousands are said to have
escaped before the capitalization. Flour was
selling in the city at $500 per bbl before the
surrender.
Il will be seen that the tide of battle RACES
fercely at Charleston. The GOODNESS and skill
Of Beauregard guarantee almost certain sue
cess. Confidence and cheerfulness prevail.
We have many runners; tho nothing posi-
lively reliable from jackson. The wires said
a few days ago that a furious assault had been
made upon Gen. Johnston, that he repulsed
the enemy and was falling back.
Bragg's forces are-it would be imprudent
tosay where but we hope to hear from them
soon on a field where they will do terrible ex-
ecution.
The Yankees, it seems, notwithstanding
their terrible experiences Of the past are max
ing another ''On to Richmond" move. The
authorities, soldiers and citizens await their
coming with calmness mdicitive of anything
but surrender or defeat.
At present, cloud between us and the
sun of our independence and prosperity, caste
a dark shadow, but it will pass away, and all
will be bright again. It were unreasonable to
expect every battle to result in victory. We
must expect reverses and be prepared for
them. s"The darkest hour is just before the
dawn" We are not yet at the bottom Of the
wheel, and if we were, the next revolution
may place us upon the top. Courage, pa
tience and perseverance will carry us through
triumphant, and we have no more doubt of
ultimate success, than we have that the sun
rose this morning.
