Iproach to strangers on religious sub

group OF half grown youths obviously
intent upon finding their own pleas.

have been merely to excite profano

a careless air, and after seating him

miliar tone; "Boys, I'll tell YOU sto.

pcctingly, and he proceeded us fol-
lows:

The hearers expressed in their sew

ut this turn Of tho story, and one c.

of anything so base. But here he

Gen. Gran, on the sIvery @ ,c.,ioa.

The following is an extract from
letter written by Gen, Grant,-recent-
ly quoted by Senator Wilson in a
lecture before the American Anti. Sla-
very Society, at philadelphia.
II have never been an anti-Slavery
man but I try to judge justly of what
| see. ! made up my mind, when
this war opened, that the North and
South could only live together in
peace, as one nation, by being free
nation. Slavery, which constituted
the coruer. stone Of the so-called Con,
federacy, is knocked ont, and it will
take more men in future to hold the
black race as slaves than to put down
the rebellion. Much rs desire peace
an opposed to it until this question
of slavery is forever settled" oH
Ii needs no gift of prophecy to pre-
dict that the Democracy will see no
merit in Gen. Grant hereafter. No
man who hesitatcs To endorse and
sustain Slavery, can expect TO receive
its support. -lil-.

New YORK, July THE Cahawba from
New Orleans, June 80, via Fortress Mon
roe, arrived tonight. The Era states that
large rebel force under Gen Greene ap-
preached Donaldsonville on the 9th, de-
manding its surrender, which of course
was refused. The rebels demanded re-
moval of the women and children.
At half-past o'clock ON the morning OF
the 2sth, the rebels made vigorous attack
in force. The battle lasted till daylight-a
hours, when they were repulsed with heavy
loss. Our loss was killed and l6 wound
ed, including two officers. Our gunboats
participated. Our forces had buried 6s
dead rebels and were busy burying more
1t was estimated that 100 rebels were left
on the field.
The entire rebel loss is nearly 600. We
took LOO prisoners, including II commits
stoned officers, they are Col, Majors
and Capt. Rebel 1t. Col, 2 Majors ant

The Rebels Cornered.

HARRISBURG, July 6 P. M.-Informa-
ton received here proves beyond doubt,
that the continued retreat of the rebels to-
wards Hagerstown and Williamsport is
with the intention of crossing the Potomac.
Their wagon trains are all in front, and
are being ferried across slowly in two fiat
boats. The Potomac is very high, banks
are full and they cannot cross, their only
pontoon bridge having been destroyed.
A large force of infantry prevented the
capture of Williamsport by Gen. Buford
with his cavalry. Our army is following
them up, and a great battle will be fought
before they succeed in getting away. This
fight, it is hoped, will result in the capture
of the whole or The dispensing of Lees
army.
ID DIsPATcH.-on Saturday dispatch
from London says: A gentleman who ar
rived from Williamsport states that a big
fight was then going on, and that there
were no rebels in the vicinity of Green
castle. The whole rebel army appears to
boon the bank of the river, and is no doubt
making desperate fight.
