Between three and four o'clock, General
Ostcrhaus' and McArthurs divisions, which
were miles away when the battle began,
came up and finished the work. The enemy
were in retreat soon after, and these divi-
sions pursued them till nine o'clock, and are
now encamped at Edwards Station, five
miles beyond the battle-ground. We had
no cavalry, so that pursuit was out OF the
question. From prisoners we learn that
Pemberton commanded in person. Great
dissatisfaction existed
The Rebels charged Pemberton with sell
ing them out to Grant, and planning mill
tary operations during the past four weeks
to insure defeat.

~ Thus far, the leaders Of the South
have gained nothing by the war they inau-
guratcd save a stay of execution. They
know that their doom is fixed, and they are
only fighting for delay, and many of the
knowing ones among them are occupied in
converting at ruinous sacrifice, their assets
into gold or exchange on Europe. General
Sterling Price sent his personal effects, and
why and 50 have Floyd, Slidel, and q host
of the contractors Of the so-called Confede-
racy, secured their available means. Millions
worth of exchange gold, and government
cotton are quietly escaping out Of the limits
of "Secessia" by the only safe route left open
by the neglect of the administration-by
way of Matamoras.

ASTISLAvERY SENTIMENT IN New Or

ing of the Union Association of New Orleans
was one Judge Hiestand, who thus express

anti-slavery sentiment:
"What changes have taken place in one
year l have been a STAKEHOLDER since was
able to own a negro, and have never enter
tanned conscientious scruples in the matter
and do not now. Three years since, III La

Of the national government would result in
the downfall of slavery. Tonight rejoice
to inform you that from the Rlo Grande to

TUE OIL BUsiNEss.-Thc Oil City Register
says The Phillips, Woodford, Graft and
Hasson wells have stopped flowing. Judg-
ing from the amount these wells are claimed
to flow, this would make reduction in the
daily supply of about 900 barrels. We
hear of several new wells being struck, but
none of much consequence. This season
has been prosperous for the only producers
and prices rule higher than at any previous
spring and summer season.. Parties here
think the present prices will advance still
further, in consequence of the demand being
in excess of the supply. Whether this De
correct or not, we can scarcely say. We do
not think the daily production of Oil Creek
will exceed $500 barrels. Some estimate it
at 5000. From .his amount should be de-
Quoted 20 per cent. for wastage. So retiners
and dealers can draw their own conclusions

we can have no dealings with rebels except
as with criminals who have no civil rights !;
as with men to whom nothing can be con-
ceded, and with whom consequently all idea
of compromise is out of the question" We
have nothing to ask, the rebels nothing to
give, but submission. We want no peace,
we will have no peace with traitors.
The people are not yet ready to follow
the lead of the allies of traitors The gene
raj Assembly of Ohio gave truer expression
2 to the purpose of the nation, in declaring
that "wc will have no armistice, that we can
