ARTILLERY AND AMMUNITION

The chief ordnance officer Of the artillery
of Gen. Lees army, in an official report, re-
lcrs as follows to the performance Of the am
munitiun of that army 1T tho late battles near
fredericksburg:
Il had an opportunity, during the action
OF Monday evening, of comparing the relative
accuracy i'll the explosion of the rifle prujcc-
tiles OF our side and those of the enemy: and
am satisfied that the advantage WAS with us.
Many Of theirs We're of tlp, Sclcncklc pattern,
with percussion luzc.'

p"undcr Napol"onS are reported 10 bc rs good
Us the captured guns OF the saline kind in every
rcspcct-and indeed, preference is shown for
the Confederate Napoleon, from its iarring less
when fired.
1t Is matter Of cOngratulatinn that, under
all difficulties, the products of our laboratories
and our Government workshops should prove
reliable in the hour uf trial. Few Of those not
engaged in labor involving mechanical appli-
anccS can estimate the disadvantages in spite
of which these results are obtained
This report also says: Mr. McEvoys fuse
ignitcss proved perfectly successful with brass
fuse plugs. With wooden fuse plugs, they
exploded the shells in all cascs prcmaturcly." :"

annually on lst June. The present value of
coin in the Confederate States settles the op-
ton reserved to the Government, and it is
clear that the interest will be paid in cotton.
The annual interest of $50 will be very
nearly the value of 4 bale Of cotton Of 500
pounds at I'D. sterling. or - cents. and thus
each coupon will he the equivalent of bale of
cotton, Of the class of New Orleans middling.
At the present market rates, such cotton, at
the ports, is now worth at least three times the
price set upon it in the bonds, so that the actu-
al interest received by the holder of the bond
would bc eighteen per cent. in Confederate
currency. The same relative advantage at
tachcS.to the principal which is payable twcn-
ty years hence. That principal will be then
paid in coin. but the purchase money is now
paid in Confederate notes: and the purchaser
gains all the advantage resulting from an in
vestment Of treasury notes in a specie security
1t is obvious, therefore, that these bonds
possess an intrinsic value, greatly exceeding
any security yet offered by the Confederate
Government.
We understand that the Secretary of the
Treasury is about to open bids Immediately.

FROM NORTHERN VIRGINIA.

The prudential mystery which has involved
the operations of the army in Northern Vir-
ginia seems to be slowly unfolding itself, and
reveals to-day the main body Of our army,
under Ewcll and Lonsstreet, in Maryland and
Pennsylvania The crossing of the latter is
believed TO have taken place on Saturday and
Sunday. at Lecsburg at which point and on
which occasion occurred the cavalry fight
mentioned in yesterdays enquirer" Our
lines between Culpcpcr and Fredericksburg
are still strong enough to oppose any force the
enemy may be able at this time 10 bring
against it, while strong force. which will he
strengthened to-day by State troops. will
stand prepared for any attempt the enemy
may make from the direction Of the Peninsula
to march on Richmond.
Official news from the Peninsula on ycstcr-
day states that the enemy were landing in
force on James river, at Brandon, and at
some point on York River In view Of
this the Governor issued Il call upon the cti-
zcnS To organize to meet invasion. which was
promptly ana enthusiastically responded to
last evening in the Capitol Square 1T is evi-
dcnt that the enemy desires to make Il diver
sion hy this movement to the dctrimcnt OF
Gen Lee hut he will fail and if his advance
is made very far up the Peninsula. it will
prove a failure both ignominious and diSas-
astrCuS. We have no Doubt that the Eandals
will make blazing raid in the lower cnurl-
ties ; but that they will accomplish aught else
of any Importance is. in our opinion, simply
absurd.
Although this news of the cncmy's move
ments below comes through official sources. as
indicated above. it reached those sources in
such way that many grains Of allowance are
to be made in receiving it. Passengers from
the White House last evening. state that no
enemy had appeared in the Pamunkcy up to
four o'clock, but that on Tuesday our pickcts
on the York River. at West Point. came in and
reported one gunboat and two transports steam
ing for that place. On yesterday morning it
appeared thnt the transports were loaded with
timber, designed, apparently, for the construc-
tion of II wharf. No landing, however, WAS
made up TO our latest a,lviccs.

FROM TEXAS.

The stock raisers Of Western Texas are CON-
planning loudly of the conduct OF Ucn. G- ".
White. general purchasing agent for the Com
fcdcrate States in the seizure Of bcevcS at III
ADEQUATE prices \ meeting of stock ralscrs
from seven counties was held some time since,
the proceedings of which are published III the
San Antonio Herald" They resolved that
they will not furnish bccvcs to Gen. White or
his agents ct his prices, but if the Government
so desire it, will furnish them themselves at
any point in the Contederacv, at such fixed
prices as the Government may dcsi gnatc. pro-
vided no speculator is permitted 10 intervene
between themselves and the Governments.
The Houston telegraph" Of May 2Gth
has the information that Gen. Magruder had
fitted out several small steamers ut Corpus
Christi, and attacked the blockading fleet
He succeeded in sinking two of the cnemy'S
vessels capturing fifteen prisoners, and raising
tho blockade.
The same paper, of May 18th, contains Il
narrative Of the adventures Of Judge Richard
Clearv formerly judge Of the Thirteenth Jul
dical District of California, and afterward
United States naval storckeeper in Shanghai,
Chinn. On hearing of the secession of Eirgi-
MIA, his native State, he forthwith undertook
to return hithcr The journey had occupied
two wears. when he reached Houston, during
which time he encountered dangers surmount-
ed obstacles, and endured priyationS and Suf-
frrings that no ordinary man could have
triumphcd over He has travelled about
| 1000 miles by water, over ! ,l50 miles un
foot by land, and in terrible country for foot
by travellers, and will have travelled fully
5000 miles besides in variuus convcvanccS.
and all the time exposed to harlshps and
dangers of which ordinary men can have no
conception. Besides this he has sacrificed po-
sition, prnperty-everythins-to offer his ser
vices to his native country in the war in which
she is engaged. Many Of our people have ia
ken II g''od deal Of pains to keep out of the
army. We doubt, however, if any man in the
Confcdcracy has done as much to get out of
or into the army AS Judge Cicary has to'otfer
his services to his native State. We glory in
his heroic fortitudc, and point to him as n
bright example of the stuff of which the men
are made who are now striking for liberty in
this the greatest war Of this or any age.

FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, 1863.

All Of the wounded are fast recovering. and
it is thought none of them will lose limb, and
all are suffering comparatively little. Capt.
Raisen'S wounds arc fast healing, although for
many hours he was unconscious: and the Yam

ELECTION RETURNS

II is all important that the election returns

AFFAIRS IN EAST TENNESSEE.
The Lynchburg ''Rcpublican' of yesterda

The Lynchburg Republican of yesterday
learns some further particulars respecting the

1t appears that after the fight with Pegram

county thew found DO Of Pcgram's men rc-
turning from the hospital to join their COM

They advanced then through Montgomery
county To Kingston, and it is Supposed they
went to Loudoun, and were there rcpulsed, as
we had some force at that point. Of this,
| however, there is no definite intelligence. 1t
is Supposed also, they went thence t" Lcnoirs,
and were driven from there On Friday. From
Lcnoir'S they went To Knoxville. and were met
near the citya repulScd twice. Between Lou
