Such is faithful account of that part
OF my conversation with the old Geor.
gian which referred to the subject OF
rebel desertions As in my account OF
the talk with my Mississippi friend, ]
have not attempted to transcribe the ex-
act words spoken either by myself or the
old man. All the ideas presented were
his. Not that his language was inappro-
pirate or mean. On the contrary he ex-
pressed himself with simplicity, force,
ease, and even elegance, so that l was
not at all surprised when heard that,
years ago, in the better days of Georgia,
he had been member of the Legisla-

ject are in my possession, only few OF
which l have time to glance at
Since our troops have been at Bridge
port, the number OF deserters arriving at
that one point alone, has averaged
nearly six per day.
Not long since heard one man of a
party of eleven who had deserted from a
single com pany in a Louisiana regiment,
declare that there were secret associa-
tions amongst the rebel soldiers for aid
lug each other to desert; that thousands
in Braggs army thought of nothing else
save watching for an opportunity to
escape; that the number leaving must
sometimes be as high as two or three
hundred in single day. and that Rae
coon and Lookout Mountains are swarm
ing with these absentees.
A Georgian who was Vicksburg pa

A Tennesseean stated, upon another
occasion, that when he took French
leave of his company, there were but
seven men remaining in it, a number
having been killed in battle, and more
than forty having deserted.
The Louisianian referred to above
said that of his regiment less than hun

Special to the Herald

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The following
factswe obtained from a source that guar
antees their correctness, and the state
ments may be relied upon as being
strictly true. On Saturday, the 4th,
rebel gunboat came down James River
with a flag of truce. Acting Rear Adj
miral Lee sent up officers to meet it
when it was ascertained Alex Stephens
and Commissioner Ould were on board.
They represented that they were bearers
of an important letter from JEFF. Davis,
Commander-in-chief of the army and
navy of the Confederate States to Abra-
ham Lincoln, Commander-in-chief of the
army and navy of the United States and
asked permission to proceed to Wash
ington and present the letter to President
Lincoln in person. They declined to re-
veal any thing further in relation to its
mission. Admiral Lee of course had no
authority to grant the request.
They consented to wait until He could
communicate with Washington and re-
ceive instructions he accordingly tele-
graphed the facts and asked instructions.
This morning special cabinet meeting
was called to consider the matter of
granting the request The request in
volved many important and deliberate
questions as such proceeding might be
construed into an acknowledgements of
of the nationality of the pretended rebel
government And after all the matter
might besome unimportant affair such as
the employment of negro troops. No
decision was arrived at, and the cabinet
meeting accordingly adjourned until to,
morrow and Admiral Lee was instructed
to ascertain if possible the object of the
mission. In the meantime, however, the
tug containing the rebel ambassador had
turned about and proceeded up the river
without any parting salute, salutation oil
exclamation, and thus ended the mission

mond who left day before yesterday says

MO MANS NAME Is MORE INTIMATELY
~ connected with the history of the Materia
Medica of the United States, more tayorably
known as a pioneer in medical discovery, than
that of DR.. JOHN BULL, of Louisville, KY His
inimitable preparation of Sarsaparilla has long
stood at the ad of the various compounds Of that
valuable drug. His COMPOUND PFCT RAJ OF WILD
CHERRY has become a household word throughout
the West and South; and his Worm Lozenges, in
less than year after their introduction attained
a reputation as widespread the continent of
North America But the browning glory of his
life remains to be attained in his latest discovery,
or rather combination for he dos not claim to
have been the discOverer of CEDRON. which is the
basis Of the hitteTs now offered to the public.
That honor belongs TO the native inhabitants of
. Central America, 10 whom its virtues have been
known for more than two hundred years. Armed
with it, the Indian bids defiance TO the most dead
IL malaria, and handles without fear the most
venemOus serpents. 1t is a belief with them that
while there is breath left in the bdy, the 0edron
Is potent to cure, no matter what the disease may
be.
While DR.. Bull is not prepared to indorse this
extravagant pretsnsiOD, he is nevertheless salts
fed from a thorough examination of the evidence
relative TO its virtues, that remedy and pre-
vsntative for all diseases arising from exposure,

HARRIsBURG, July 6.-The authorities
here are in ecstasies over the news re-
ceived to-day.
The Potomac River has risen six feet
within the past forty-eight hours, which
must necessarily destroy all the fords,
and there being no bridges within strik-
ing distance of Lees army, all means of
retreat must be cut off.
A dispatch received tonight by Gen.
Couch states that Gen. Gregg, with a
force of Gen. Pleasanton's cavalry, had
an engagement to-day at Fayetteville, in
which he took 1000 prisoners. Fayette-
vile is between Casstown and Chambers
burg, on the east of South Mountain.
After disposing of his prisoners, Gregg
took an interior road, and advanced in
the direction of Greencastle.
The militia under Gen. Smith are
within supporting distance of Gregg,
and rapidly advancing on the rebels.
A person representing himself as
Longstreet Adjutant General, captured
near Hagerstown, arrived here to day.
He states that Longstreet and Lee were
both opposed to the invasion of Mary
land, fearing it would be disastrous, but
Davis would not listen, and gave orders,
promising to send $4,000 reinforcements
under Beauregard. When the Adjutant
was captured, he was on the highway to
Culpepper, to ascertain what had be.
come Of Beuregards troops, and was
very anxious to know whether any one
here had any knowledge of them.
A gentleman who left Gettysburg last
evening states that Lopgstreet is dead
and within our lines.
Everything looks as though Lees
army would be forced to turn and give
battle or surrender.

PHILADELPHIA, July 6.-The Washing
ton Star says it is estimated at Gettys-
burg Lee had lost, up to yesterday morn
ing, by desertion since crossing the Po-
tomac an aggregate of 5000 men. He
is clearly cut off from taking the low
er and shorter route leading to Vir-
ginia. Lee must be endeavoring to
make for the Potomac at Hancock. We
have strong hopes he will not be able to
get back to Virginia with either his ar
tillery or transportation, and the men
with which he may himself escape will
not number one-fourth of the boastful
and over confident army.
