BEFORE PORT HUDsON,
July s, 1863.

To Gen. u. S. GRANT:
The Mississippi is now opened.
have the honor to inform you that
the garrison of Port Hudson surrendered
uucoDdi,ionally this afternoon.
We shall take formal possession at seven
o'clock in the morning.
Mp. BANKS, Maj. Gen.
There were said to be 5000 Rebels in
the garrison. Let US not forget the brav-
cry and long, patient endurance Of the
soldiers, black and white, who wrought
out the reduction of this last known Rebel
stronghold in the West.
About two years past, the Mississippi
has been closed. Thanks (under God) to
BANKS aud the Yankee boys who fought
up stream, and to GRANT and his Western
men who fought down stream, the river is
again to be free. Guerllas may place
temporary Instructions, but they can not
last loug. The CoDscdcraoy is divided.
Travel is resumed between Harrisburg
and Baltimore.

nNLThe last game Of the Rebels ap-
pears to be one of "brsg," and they are
playing it in the most reckless msuuer.
Their papers assert that Lee defeated the
Army of the Potomac at Gettysburg, and
is pursuing it toward Baltimore, aud that
be has taken forty thousand prisoners.
They also say that Grant has been driven
from Vicksburg, and Banks from Port
Hudsoo, and that their armies have been
destroyed. Other successes Of less conse
quence are reported, and the people are
led to believe that the independence of the

ESCAPE of Leo.

A private letter from John Marsh,
of the SD p. v, saws they marched
THIRrY-FivE MILES, Wednesday, lost
half their regiment on Thursday, and
were then again after the retreating
Lee. From an Army thus severely
taxed, too much should not be expect.
ed. Yet we find Gen. Meade hurried
his men on as fast as he safely could,
driving the Rebels from town to town
and point to point, at last penning
them in q short space around Will
Transport. A council of war on Sat
urday and Sunday, decided against
immediate assault. All this time,
Lee was getting across the Potomac
as well as he could, at Falling Wat
ers and at Williamsport, partly by
fording or swimming, and by aid Of
various boats. Our forces moved
forward Monday evening, taking 500
prisoners at Williamsport,and killing
Gen. Pettigrew and capturing his
brigade of 1,500 men at Falling
Waters the remainder Of the Rebels
(supposed to be So, 200 of the 100, 600
they came with) with the guns and
plunder they had left, were on the
Virginia side.
While this escape is mortifying. it
at the same time demonstrates that
Lee was very badly whipped, when
he dared not risk an attack in any Of
the naturally strong positions he
might have chosen. 1t shows fear
and weakness. He ia hurrying to
Richmond. Meade has also crossed
the POtOmac-whether to follow him
down the Shenandoah, or to meet him
on the flank, is yet to appear. This
subjects our brave men to hard march
es again, aud calls for our prayers
and our aid in overy possible way.
This mornings acknowledgement
indicates that the New York Riots,
yesterday, were unsurpassed. Proof
thickens that dcsperadoes from Balti-
more were imported, and that it is all
a prc-conccrted plan of Copperhead
leaders to break up the Draft. The
mob is led with skill, and even shoot
from housetops. But their Andrews
was taken Gn bed win a black wom-
an , and sent to Lafayette. The big
Monitor ship being built, was saved
from the irregular proceedings" of
the friends of the Constitution and
the Laws" The n. Y. 7th, and
Michigan Regiment, have arrived, and
dozens il not scores of rioters moved
down in the streets. Some soldiers
also fall, and some spectators. The
military, We hope and believe, soon
will crush out thi5 Rebel conspiracy.
Simultaneous with this outbreak
in New York, the same things were
attempted in several other places
inoiTensiYe persons were murdered,
and Government property stolen or
destroyed-by the same class Of men
as have eternally disgraced n. York.
But, elsewhere, the mobs failed, and
the Law stands indicated.

Iy-"7hou shalt not bear false ,citness,"
is "cons,itutioual" Commandmen. never
repealed nor nullIfed except BY tho Rebels
against the higher law for whom there is
the hot place. Those protesting Christia.
nifty, should especially heed it. But some
Of them don't. They falsely say that our
telegraph operator keeps back important
news, when be does not. He is under no
obligation whatever to give out word but
what is paid for, yet what be has given
gratuitously amounts to months Of time.
He has the reputation of being the best
and most attentive operator on the line.
He announces news as soon as the next
man-suppresscs many false rumors-snd
gives to tho public the doubtful ones.
"Milton" is generally the alleged origin
of bogus news by the falsifers and fault
finders. But last Monday their spiritual
telegraph was located at "Northumber-
land" where, it was alleged, vas news of
the bad defeat If our Potomac army; but
"Jack was keeping back the news" in the
Lewisburg Office. Now, as no such defeat
had occurred-aud as slack" was out of
town, sick from too long and close sppli.
cation to the office-that was all "lie
with Q circumstance"
We ask those who invent or vend these
slanderous reports, what object there can
be irsuppressing news, by those who are
neither bettors, spectators, nor brokers!
Such surmises and evil reports harass
community-do no good-and that man
or woman who wilfully or carelessly prop
sgates them, "bears false witness" sgainst
q neighbor, and is lacking in the better
qualities of head or heart.

S~M March and april last, Knights
of the Golden Circle 10 Berks county told
their dupes that tho Rebels would invade
Pennsylvania abou, Harvest time, and BY
paying dollar and joining the Circle they
would not be harmed. The fact shat they
did come as predicted, goes to show that ii
ras aN understood Jeircen tie Copperhcads
and Rebels, and their State Convention
said not word against it, but discouraged
volunteers from coming to drive out the
Rebels. No thanks to that Convention
but the Unionists enlisted, repairing to the
forts at Harrisburg, and the fords below
Columbia Bridge was burned the Army
of the Potomac hurried on the flank Of the
Rebels. ALI Of which saved Lancaster,
Berks, ,Schuylkill and perhaps Philadelphis
from ravage by the hungry Secesh crew.
