herewith Com. Woolsey's report.
At 1.20 A. NJ. on the 18th the enemy made

FROM yICKSBURG.
The Rebellion in the Southwest nearly
Crushed.

VIcRsBuRG, July ).
Yesterday and to-day all has been remarka-
bly, quiet, and good feeling prevails. The
weather is fearfully hot. Nineteen general of
flcers have been paroled. Two or three days
must elapse before the prisoners are sent out
TO their destination. which is reported 10 be
Taedega, Ala. Many of them are anxious
not to be paroled, but wish to take the oath of
allegiance and quit the rebel service and be
sent North
Several women and children have been killed
and wounded during the siege. Hundreds of
houses occupied by sick and wounded have
been constantly exposed to shell. About $500
persons have been killed inside the works since
the siege began. The labor performed on the
Notifications on both sides has been prodigi-
Gus. The weight OF our artillery Knocked
their works into indistinguishable heaps.
About 200 women and children were in
the city during the bombardment who have
for the most time been obliged to live in caves,
of which there are several hundreds.
Citizens have not been allowed to draw
from the army supplies. except in cases of des-
titution. The price of food has been enor-
nous. Five dollars per pound has been
charged for flour, and dollar per pound for
mule meat.
The latest advces from the interior say
Johnston is rapidly retreating, and Sherman
is in hot pursuit. Rein(orcements are moving
to Gen. Sherman.
An offer of assistance has been dispatched
TO Gen. Banks, and it is conectured the condi-
ton of the Port Hudson viii be similar to that
of Vicksburg week hence Its fall may be
announced at any hour.
The general opinion here, both in the rebel
army and ours, is that the rebellion in the
southwest is at an end, or reduced to insight
flcant proportions.

The Late Cavalry Raid into North Carolina
Great Amount Of Rebel Property
Destroyed.
NEwBERN. N. G.. July 0,

NEwBERN, N. c., July Q.
The Legislature of North Carolina is now
In extra session on financial matters. The
Raleigh Register, rebel print, referring to
the extra session says: "There is mischief
brewing which bodies no good to the Federal
tConfederate?l cause. The history of the leg
islature does not warrant us in expecting any
thing but mischief at its hands,"
The expedition which left here on the night
Of the Sd inst, returned on the morning of the
It'll, having successfully accomplished its OBJ
ject.
Gen. Hickman, commanding infantry and
artillery, attacked the rebels near Kinston,
where he compelled them TO remain while
Lieut. Col. Lewis and Maj. Cole with sixteen
companies Of cavalry proceeded on TO Ver-
nonsvile, ninety miles from Newbern, where
we struck the Wilmington aud Weldon Rail
road, which we destroyed for great distance.
An extensive sabre factory at Kenansville,
WIN many thousand sabres was burnt and an
extensive knapsack factory, with some twenty
thousand knapsaeks. Nearly every town
through winch our troops passed contained
reoei comlhissary depot full Of rebel stores,
which were also burnt, together with great
quantities OF cotton, tar, pitch, &c. Horses,
mules, negroes and provisions were captured
in grert quantities. Some 100000 worth of
Confederate money was captured from the tax
collectors in Kenansyille, and large amounts
from other collectors, amounting 10 nearly
half million of dollars, which with the i'm
mense amount of property destroyed, is Sc
we're blow to the rebel cause in North Caroli-
ma. All of which was accomplished without
the loss of a man on our side. The enemy
were unable TO meet our cavalry for want OF a
sufficient force. Gen. Hickman sustained no
loss in his artillery duel at Kinston.

THE Loyal VIRGIyIAY.-During the pres
ent week, Mr.. Myers and his capital company
will play in Lewiston, returning to Portland
next Monday evening for Mr.. Myers benefit,
of which more when the time comes. We
commend the whole company TO the good
people of Lewiston in passing; meanwhile
our purpose is to speak briefly now of what
we had no space even TO allude to Saturday
morning-Mr. Murray's benefit and farewell
last Friday night.
The principal play was "The Loyal Virgin
ian," Mr.. Murray's new sensation drama,
which 1.as put upon the stage for the first
time that evening. Taking the piece for what
it claims to be, a sensation play simply, it is
a complete success and was most favorably
received by the large audience which attested
the kind regard felt for Mr.. Murray in Port
land. As Mike Donohue," an Irish Union
ist, Mr.. Murray was OF course in his element
The rough and tumble fight between Mike
and the fat Rebel sentinel, the plantation con-
cert, and the scene on the battle field, are
few of the most effective passages of the play,
which, however fugitive and transient its val
ne, certainly maintains an unbroken interest
during Its two or three hours upon the stage.

They who say the Southern States have not

that they held no promises of some empire to

against revolving provinces, and cannot apply
to State separation from us. Objection has
been advanced that recognition should be met
by war on the part of the North. but none
recommend measure, except in conjunction
with other powers. 1t is very possible that a
war of words might be declared by few
journals and orators. Recognition is meas
ure which, so far from stimulating war, is a
solemn notice that the object has passed be-
yond the reach OF war, however unpalatable
at the first shock. Recognition is the true
and nfectiye message of peace.
The Paris Patrie contradicts the assertion

Morgan's forces reached Vienna on the JEFF
fersonvile railroad at ten o'clock this forenoon.
