ARKANSAS SoLDIERs AT vIcKsBURG.-Most
of the soldiers from this pozt ion Of the State
in Mississippi we're in the 15th and Goth regi-
m ents, commanded by Jones and Dcckery.
Both these regiments were brigaded with some
Missouri regiments under Gen. Martin Green,
and the whole is generally 81 oxen of as Green's
Missouri Brigade. This brigade was stationed
at the Big Black bridge, and was engaged on
the 18th Of May, when the enemy were sue
cessful in taking the position. Since that time
We have been able to hear almost nothing of
the faSe of the soldiers in those regiments.
Many Of them were taken prisoners. Some
two or three have escaped and reached home,
but can give little information about their com
rades in srms. Our community is in q state
of intense anxiety to ascertain who of them
may be prisoners, who killed or wounded, and
who may be still safe. The remnant Of them
are doubtless within the lines at Vicksburg
and unable to communicate. We earnestly
desire the earliest information concerning
these regiments to place before our readers.
A despatch to the Chicago Times from Blsc K
river dated the 18th, says "that Gen. Martin
Green's brigade, consisting Of about 1900,
were cut of by the 11th Wisconsin and sur
rendered to q man." This could only have
been part.
The st. Louis Republican Of the 18th, in an
article on ..rebel Missourians in late battles, 2
svys:
'.At the late battle at Black river bridge
Gen. Martin Green's brigade, consisting Of
three regiments Of Missourians and some Ar.
kansas regiments, were hotly engaged and
Jared roughly. Three Missouri batteries Of
artillery, consisting Of Wade's, GuibOis' and
the st. Louis battery, formerly commanded BY
Emmett Mcdonald, were captured by the Fed
erals. Landreth's battery escaped, but had
one section disabled. The rebels, in retreat.
ing towards Vicksburg fired and destroyed
the bridge too soon. A considerable part Of
their force could not cross, and the consequence
was that the Federals made many prisoners,
including the major portion Of the Missourian-
in Gre ems brigade"

yIRoIsIA.-Our Southern reports from
Virginia are not late. By far the most
important news comes through the North.
Il will te found in another column. BY
the following il will be seen there had
been an engagement at Culpepper. The
accounts of that have not reached US.
Fredericksburg, June 12.-The enemy
have now held their position this side the
river one week, and nothing has been done
in the way Of fighting if we except one or
two artillery duels and daily picket firing
at Culpepper.
Our losses at Culpepper on Tuesday
we're heavy. Among them are some Of
our hest officers Our casualties were SO
killed, 200 wounded and 500 prisoners.
Among the killed was Gen. Wright.
Richmond Sentinel of the 18th says
From Culpepper We do not learn much
additional.
There was considerable excitement mere
Yesterday over the news that the euemy
were exhibiting force in the Peninsula
aud advancing in threatening manner.
We learn that columns of 3 900 to 4 900
were camped in New Kent county OF
Thursday night. Their gunboats are also
reported in the James and Chickahominy
rivers.
Our troops On the Peninsula are said
to have fallen back to avoid being taken
in flank from havigable waters. Arrange
ments will doubtless be made by our mill
tary 10 arrest them.
Ii the people OF Richmond have been
waiting for the coal of fire that makes even
terrapins move, they have it now. Then
fill u ? companies of home guards By in
slant action, if they think their homes are
worth defending.
This erening's Republican says as We
are about going to press we have news Of
the enemy in the valley in the region OF
VIII chester, Martinsburg and harper''
Ferry. that Lees whole army is in the
valley, stretching nearly it, whole length
aud strongly reinforced from the PENN
sula, from Suffolk, Richmond, Gordons

Our troops aSe now passing here 10 re-
treat from Hagerstown TO Chambersbure.
Hagerstown has been evacuated. Rumor
fxes the rebel force at 10, 900.
Baltimore, June l5.-The American
special reports from Harper's Ferry, say
Gen. Milroy succeeded in cutting his way
through the rebel lines, and reached there
this morning after evacuating Winches'
ter.
The fighting was very desperate. We
repulsed the enemy repeatedly with heavy
loss: but finally they were heavily rein'
forced and Cen Milroy made bis arrange
ments Sunday to abandon Winchester,
finding tha. the rebels were endeavoring
to closely invest the place. We lost some
.. 600 men killed, wounded and prisoners.
Militia movements are IN progress to
check the rebel movements In this di:ec-
ton, which it would not be proper to par
ticularize.

This is the plain, unvarnished statement Of
the whole affair. Gen. Royston's SON was fully
discharged from service before the passage of
the twenty negro law, and was never, in truth,
exempted by il. Its repeal could not affect
him e. all.
Meanwhile he has remained upon the plan
tation, usefully employed as sole oversser.-
Large crops have been raised, the surplus Of
which has been partly sold at prices never ex-
ceeding one dollar bushel for corn, and one
and a quarter for wheat, and large quantities
have been given gratuitously to the poor. He
acts as overseer from choice, and under his
fathers direction, in order to be usefnl at
home His exemption rests on other grounds
He woulI be equally exempt If the son Of the
poorest man in the country, or If engaged IN
any other occupation.
That Gen. Royston was cogniIant OF these
proceedings in their progress, is true and
natural He would otherwise have exhibited
an Indifference unbecoming man and father
That he in any wise used his position to exer-
else an undue influence, or any influence at
all, over the surgeons and officers who decided
upon the case Of his son, is untrue, and An
ungenerous aspersion Of their honor and dig
nifty Of character
III, In these facts, any one can fnd matter
OF eensure agsinst; Gen. Royston-if any one
supposes that he should have forced into camps
son thus often decided to be incapable OF
service, let him vote against him. It is his
right and no man can gainsay 1t. But We
sincerely hope that the discussions Of the cam
vass Will be confined to Gen. Royston's own
fitness to represent the people in Congress, and
determined according - he may or may not
be found sealous and devoted to our cause,
industrious and faithful in his position, and
possessed Of the requisite ability. These dis
cussions are legitimate. II they are fully had
and the people choose to confer the honor Of
his position upon another, they will be right
and no one can murmur.
Washington telegraph., 1863-07-01

peace, Wnen parues Will arise, as they should
do But the time is not now. Just in the
very crisis of our danger, every heart beat in
the land should be in unison with all others.
We need above all things unanimity. 1t is our
only salvation. Political contests are danger.
Gus. Men enlisted for different candida tes
cannot rise to the serene philosopy of separa t.
ing the cause Of the country from their parti-
zan feelings. What should be lone in this re :
gard will most assuredly not be; and men will
give way to the warmth of personal feeling to
suspect the motives of those who oppose their
favorite candidates, to misconstrue them and
oppose their plans. This at time when all
should he prompt, and unhesitating in CO.
operation, is full of danger.
Heretofore we have avoided this, and have
reason to be thankful. What might have been
the consequences Of opposition to President
Davis in the last election! Each one feels tha.
it would have been fatal to our canse. Such
things are no safer now. As long as our pub
lie men are faithful to their trust. As long as
they obey the Constitution and show them
selves true to our cause and to their official
oaths, it is far better that We waive all minor
differences for the sake Of our country, and
endorse them where they ere. In the midst Of
the storm the pilot is not called at the wheel
to dispute his place with other mariners, al.
though perhaps better ones. For meanwhile
the vessel would be wrecked. 1t is only for q
time that this forbearance should be used.
When the country is saved, then the people
may safely and properly exercise the right
which they ct ell times possess, of rewarding
| any fellow citizen whom they may admire, With
place and confidence, and Of expressing their
dissatisfaction with the views and conduct OF
others by refusing their support.
