came from Charleston and its vicinity, and
are familiar with its localities While in camp
at Readville they expressed wish to form a
part of the expedition when Charleston was
assailed, as they chad an old account to settle
down there" They have now the opportuni-

NEW YORK, July q.
Mayor Opdyke to-day vetoed the ordi-
nance passed last week to pay conscripts
$500, on the ground Of vagueness and lille
gality other objections are also urged.
He holds that the Common Councils have
had time since last March to remedy any
supposed inequalities Of the draft, but that
they did not do anything until this ordi-
nance was passed, thus appearing as a
propitiatory measure to appease the mob.
The 8th Regiment of Regular Infantry
and the 9TH Regular Battery moved their
quarters to-day from City Hall park to the

WASHINGTON, July q.
Advices from the Army Of the Potomac
says that large numbers of horses have
been found in the Mountain Gorges, and
appropriated by our troops.
Our cavalry held the line Of the Kappa
hammock on Saturday, between Kelly's
Ford and Waterloo.
The Star says:
On Thursday last, while the Sd and 9Th
army corps Of General Meade's army were
lying at the mouth Of Manassas Gap, this
side, information was received that Gene
raj Longstreet was sending brigade Of
his corps forward in order to possess him
self Of the Gap. General spinola, com
manding the excelsior brigade, with eight
hundred men, was at once ordered for
ward. The commanding officer supposed
the rebels to be in small force on and be-
hind the hill, about one mile from the Gap,
between it and Front Royal, and, there
fore, supposed this brigade was sufficient
to dislodge the enemy. About a quarter
Of mile from the crest Of the hill was q
stone wall, and behind this there was q
small rebel force
General Spinola at once took an obser-
vatiOn Of the ground and after pointing
out to his regimental commanders the
work they would have to perform, he or
dered his gallant brigade forward, and
with fixed bayonets they rushed forward
when the rebels quickly fed from the hill,
and took refuge behind the stone wall
Up to the wall the brigade rushed. Sud
denly from behind it arose a whole brig
ade Of Georgians and two regiments of
North Carolina sharp shooters all under
command Of General And5Eson, but our
troops needed them not and aimed show
er Of rife bullets aad artillery fire m tho
front and the flank and pushed forward and
with the bayonet drove the rebels from
their protection and sent them seamper-
ing over the field,
The rebel loss was not less than 500
killed, wounded and missing. We had no
artillery, while the rebels had at least II
pieces. That night our soldiers bivouaok-
ed on the battle ground, and the next
morning marched into Front Royal Of
this fight, 1t is the opinion Of military men
that the rebels outnumbered US six to one,
but they appeared to be completely used up,
and after being dislodged from the stone
wall, they could not move up a hill on
their way in an upright position, but
crawled upon their hands and knees, thus
giving our men an opportunity of pouring
in an effective fire, of which they eagerly
aVailed themselves.
In this fight General Spinola received
two very severe wounds, one in the right
foot, which tore open the heel for two or
three inches, and one through the fleshy
part Of the right side

Lees army is the largest and best orga-
nized of the South, and the fate of the Con-
federacy depends on this force.
Lac has received orders not 10 fight
Meade now, but to maneuver in such man
ner as to draw the Union army toward
Staunton or GOrdOnsville, by which time
they hope to reinforce Lee.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
published his statement of the crop of last
month throughout the United States. The
condition of the wheat is nearly but not
quite up to the average, and larger
breadth of land has been sown than ever
before. Corn also is slightly below the
average.
Data recently arranged at the War De-
partment show now how largely Tennes-
see has contributed to her own now almost
perfect deliveranee. She already has
twenty regiments of infantry and caval-
ry and two batteries in the service, most
of which were made up from refugees, or
ganized beyond her borders.
ITO Cincinnati Commercial
Lees army is in q critical situstiOn and
must fight. It is stretched from Strasburg
to Winchester, and kept together as well
as possible, evidently expecting an attack.
Meade is closely watching his movements,
and is fully prepared for any emergency
A great battle can not long be deferred,
when it will be deeisively fought. Meade
is fully aware of all the reinforcements
received by Lee, and knows his own
strength. He will not be afraid to fight
him when the proper time comes.
