Washington dispatch says;
Earl Russell has ere this been in
formed that the United States will not
permit the fitting out of vessels-of-war in
British ports to prey upon our commerce,
and that if it is allowed to proceed we
shall not hesitate to go into British ports
TO capture such vessels If this be war,
England must make the most of it. In
little while all the principal Southern
ports from Virginia to Texas will be
garrisoned with Union troops, and our
whole navy, except what may be required
to keep open avigation ON the Missis-
sippi, will be liberated for operations
against foreign foe.
There are indications that the Brit
ish Government will take sensible view
of the course, and avoid any collision
with US; but if it should not, we shall
unquestionably have foreign war upon
our hands without delay"
The Charleston Nercuy's account of
our late attack on Fort Wagner admite
that our forces held portion of the fort
over an hour, under a most calling fire.
The rebels captured over 200 prisoners,
including few negro troops, and buried
over 600 of our dead. The rebel loss is
estimated at 100
The rebels state that the lombard
ment is terrific, but their men are amply
protected by bomb-proofs.
The Atlanta Confederacy of the 23d
states that the city is preparing to defend
itself from an attack by Rosecrans.
Rebel dispatches dated Norton, July
25th, states no change in affairs to-day
The enemy is busily engaged in tearing
up the track between Brandon and Jack
SON They burned the depot at the latter
place last night, and Grant is preparing
to fall back, as there is no water in front
Our army has gone in a permanent camp
Grant is reported to be shipping troop
down the Mississippi river for the pur
pose of attacking Mobile, but Genera
Hardee has arrived and taken comman,
under johnson.
Pembertons corps will be organized
immediately and be placed in the field
The Herald has the following:
OK THE RAPrAHANNocK, !
July 37th, 1868.
A Union force now occupies the Mort
band of the Rappahannock river, nea
the Station Fortifcations, erected b.
Gen. Pope, which serve to screen GU
Pickets from the enemys observation
Their Pickets, mounted and dismoun
ed are in plain view, and our Cavalr
patrol their beats within short Carbin
range of the river. This point is M
tordable for large force, although
will be possible for body of Cavalry t
cross.
1t is stated by the rebel prisoners tn;
Stuart no longer commands the Reb
Cavalry He has been assigned to
Rebel Corps and has been succeeded i
command OF the Cavalry by Fitz Hug
! Lee.
Washington dispatches to the Herai
say it is stated by Secession sympatt
zers in this city, unusually well iniorr
ed in regard to Rebel movements, TIL
Lees army re-occupied its former p
sition South of the Rappahannock
Fredericksburg.
There is reason to believe that Il
Government anticipated such NOV
ment of the rebel forces. The destru
ton of what remained of the wharv
and buildings that remained at Acqu
Greek, by the Rebels, is another eviden
of this destination, as they desired
embarrass US as much as possible, in Il
re-establishment of our base Of suppl
b. at that plac'.
