WAR DEPARTMENT, WAsHINGToN, !
July 3, p. NJ.
To Gen. Di@.
The following telegram dated to-day, Mariet-
ta, Georgia received this evening from Gen.
Sherman, giving the successful result of the
fanking operations in progress for some days
back The movement on our right caused the en-
emy to evacuate, and we occupied Kenesaw at
daylight and Marietta at 3: 30 A. NJ.
Thomas is moving down the main road tow
ards the Chattahoochie and Mcpherson towards
the mouth of the Nickajack, on the Santown
road. Our cavalry are on our extreme fanks.
Whether the enemy viii halt this side of the
Chattahootchie or not viii soon be known.
Marietta is almost entirely abandoned by the
inhabitants. More than mile ofthe railroad
iron has been removed between the town and
foot of Kenesaw. k&S
A dispatch from Gen. Grants Headquarters,
dated 8 o'clock this morning, gives the follow
ing as the results of Gen. Wilson's operations:
Sixty miles of Railrord were throughly destroy
ed on the Danville Road. Gen. Wilson reports
that they could not be repaired in less than four
weeks. even if all the materials were on hand.
He DESTROYED all blacksuiths shops where rails
might be Strengthened, and all mills where scant-
lngs for sleepers may be sawed. Wilson brought
in about four hundred negroes and many horses
and mules gathered by his forces. He reports
that the rebels slaughtered without mercy the
negroes they took. Wilson's loss of property is
a small wagon train used to carry ammunition,
his ambulance train, and twelve cannon.
The horses of the artillery and wagons were
brought off. 0fthe cannon, two were removed
from their carriages, the wheels of which were
broken and thrown into the water and one 9th :
er guu had been disabled by rebel shot break
ing its trunnious before it was abandoned. He
estimates his total loss at from $50 to 1000 men,
including those lost from Gen. Kautz's division.
a rebel force made its appearance near Mar
tinsburg this morning and were at last accounts
destroying the railroad and advancing on Mar
tinsburg. The reports received are as yet too
confused and conflicting to determine the magni-
tude of the force or extent ofits operations.

Late New. from Eurone.

The London Conference met on the 18th of
June and adjOurning to the 22d, without effect
ing anything Danish journals urge their gov
ernment, in the event of renewed hostilities with
Germany, to seek support from the revolunation-
airy elements of Europe, to form foreign legion,
and to aid Garibaldi in undertaking some in
terprise against Austria.
England is again threatning Germany with
war; in case she should refuse to accept the from
tier line proposed by England. France has,
however, again declined to cooperate with Eng
land. In the House of Commons Sir j. Hay
moved a resolutin censuring the Government
for having landed troops on the Gold Coast. to
wage war against the king of Ashantee, without
having made sufficient provisions for the preser-
vation of the health of such troops. A general
debate ensued and on division the resolution
was lost by vote of yeas 226 nays 233 a ma
jority of seven for the Government, which was
received with great cheering from the Minister
ial benches and counter cheers from the Op-
position, who regarded the vote as virtual de-
feat of the Government.

Annther ReheI Rnid.

Forthe past four or five days reports have
been prevailing that the rebels were making
another raid towards Maryland and Pennsylva-
MIA, with the apparent intention of crossing the
Potomac somewhere between Harper's Ferry
and Williamsport. On Tuesday the rebels en-
tered Harper's Ferry, and fighting was going
on between them and our forces on Maryland
heights Our forces are under Sigel, and are
said to be able to maintain their position at that
point. Not much seems to be known as to the
strength of the enemy, but it is variously esti-
rated at from q OOOto 5000 strong. We guess
it won't be much of raid, and that the daring
adventures viii be speedily brought to grief.

Pres,deut IInooIu.

The editor of the Cleveland Herald in
writingto his paper from Washington, says,
'FThe President is excessively care-worn
his face thinner than year ago, his figure
is leaner and looser, and his whole bearing
is that of oppressed by weighty response
bilities. Copperheads, croakers and critics
ridicule Mr.. Lincoln's propensity to Joke
Why, that tvery buoyancy of nature has pre-
served his life. Some men take their toddy
to re-invigorate them, to stimulate them to
freshen them up, but Mn. Lincoln takes his
joke; and surely the Presidents remedy is
the most innocent and without bad results.
The world has abundant proof that humor
is the best possible psnacea for the worlds
cares, and be who would deprive Mr.. Lin
coin Of his humor would take from him one
of the main props that sustains him in his
immense and exhaustive labor"

French Plan i'm Mexico.

"Malakoof' writes to the d. 7. Times under
date of Paris, June 18th:
Now that it has been found out that Juaraz
and his army still live and have an organization
in Mexico, and that the war is only begun, the
following is said to be the plan of operation;
The French troops proper will be maintained at
the Capital and environs, while the war against
Juarez in the outer states will be carried on by
the army of Maximillian, composed of 5000
French volunteers, 5000 Austrian, 1000 Bel
gian, all under the command of a French Gener-
al, and such Mexican troops as the New Empe-
rOr may be able to muster into service. AS it
viii be impossible to do any thing till the end
of the rainy season. that is to say in October, Ju-
araz is going to have ample time to prepare for
the Winter campaign.

proeInmntion br rhe preuldent.

The President has issued Proclamation de-
claring martial law in Kentucky. The Pro-
clamation is too lengthy for our paper this week,
and we merely give the following reasons of the
President for his action:
stWhereas, many citizens of the State of Ken
lucky have Joined the Insurgents who have on
several occasions entered the said State of Ken
lucky in large force, and not without aid and
comfort, furnished by disaffected and disloyal
citizens of the United States residing therein,
have not only greatly disturbed the public peace
but have overborne the civil authorities and
made fagrant civil war, destroying property
and life in various parts of the State; and
Whereas, ii has been made known to the
President of the United States by, the officers
commanding the National Armies that combin-
ations have been formed in the said State Of
Kentucky, with purpose of melting the rebel
forces to renew the said operations of civil war
within the said State, and thereby embarrass
the United States Armies now operating in Vir-
ginia and Georgia, and even to endanger their
safety. I"
The establishment of martial law in that
State will not interfere with the holding of law
full elections, or with the proceedings of the
Constitutional Legislature of Kentucky, or
with the administration of justiae in the courts
of law therein

The secretary Of the Treasury.

S.. p. Chase has resigned the Office of Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Ex-Governor Tod was
nominated Cor the position, but declined the
nomination. Subsequently, Mr.. Fessenden,
Senator from Maine, was nominated and unani-
nously confirmed by the Senate as Secretary
Of the Treasury. The selection of Mr.. Fessen-
den gives universal satisfaction to the friends
of the Union. Probably no other man could
at this time 50 well fill the position as he.
The causes which led to the resignation Of Mr..
Chase have not been made public, but it is un-
derstood that radical differences between him
and Congress in regard to certain financial meas
1res was the moving cause.

The GERMAN Press AND FREMoNT.-
Nine of the German papers of the West
which, Immediately after the Cleveland
Convention, placed the name of Fremont
at the head Of their editorial columns, have
dropped the same, and continue in support
offhe present Administration.
The Cincinnati Commercial says that the
few supporters of Fremont in that city
have been making desperate effort to es-
tablish German paper for his support, in
opposition to the VoIks6Iatt, but thus far
their attempts have signally failed.

Mr. Snethen, of the Committee of the
radical Democracy, wrote to Maj McPhail
of Wheeling, asking that gentleman to for
ward few names of prominent Fremont
and Cochrane men in West Virginia.
Major McP. replied that Gen. Fremont has
some. warm personal friends there, and
none regret more than those the political
status of the General, but that since the
adjournment of the Cleveland Convention,
he-tlle writer-had Dot seen OF heard of
one Fremont and Cochrane man in West

COMPANY X.
aAn for LincoIn.,,

Every Union paper in the United States,
published in the English language which
has vet declared itself on the Presidential
question is for Lincoln and johnson Every
paper which sustains the war is for Lincoln
and Johnson, except only an ephemeral pc
riodical calling itself the NeU Nation which
is owned by Fremont and edited by one of
his staff. The New York Herald neither
sustains the war nor anything else, except
James Gordon Bennett, Mrs. James Gordon
Bennett, and James Gordon Bennett, Jr,
and thus far it has not damaged Mr.. Lin
coins prospects by its hostility. The mo-
ment it does it viii commence retailing
small lies in favor of Mr.. Lincoln which
will injure him more than all it has ever
told against him. B. Grantz Brown, editor
of the Missouri Democrat, and prominent
leader of the Missouri radicals, though a
signer of the Cleveland call, did not attend
the Cleveland meeting, and has come out
for Lincoln and johnson. The New York
Tribune and Postwheel graciously into the
support of the Baltimore nominees, though
their first choice would have fallen upon
other men; and now in addition to the un-
divided support of every Union journal in
the country, the honest Democratic journals
are wheeling into column with the Union
party, in support of Lincoln and johnson.
The most prominent of these because the
most prominent Democratic journal of the
country, is the Boston Herald, than which
no New England paper wields larger or
more respectable influence. The fact is
that, as the diverse elements of the coming
campaign crystalline into their true form
and nature, it viii be seen that the Union
party is not mere party, but that it is the
whole people. The people will elect their
President with an unexampled unanimity,
and the Copperheads viii sink into their
holes with unprecedented CELEBRITY. Chica-

THE PIRATE ALABAMA DONE FOR.

New York, July 5th.-The steamer City of
Baltimore arrived this morning.
The pirate Alabama left Oherbourg on the 18th
ult. to engage the Kearsage, and attacked her 10
miles from Cherbourg. The engagement lasted
forty minutes. Both vessels made seven COM
plete circles, in manouyering distance of from
a quarter to half mile The Alabama made
two attempts to board the Kearsage, but her
commander outmanouvered Semmes, and final
ly sent aprojectile right through the Alabam-
as boiler; then, seeing what had occurred, he
brought all his guns to bear on the pirate in
concentrated broadside from starboard, and
made breach of four yards in length under her
water mark when she began to sink rapidly,
and soon went down. 1t is stated that the Al
ALBANIA had killed and 90 wounded, and that
68 of the pirates fell into our hands. Semmes,
with two or three of his officers, escaped by be-
ing picked up by the English yacht Deerhound,
and taken into Cherbourg. No one was killed,
and only three seamen slightly wounded on the
Kearsage The vessel sustained but little injury.
Washington, July 6.-The Navy department
has received the following dispatch:
u. S. STEAMER KERsAGE,
June 18th, 1852. NJ.
SIR:-I have the honor to inform the Depart
ment that the day subsequent to the arrival of
the Kearsage off this port on the 18th inst. re-
ceived note from Capt. Semmes, begging that
the Kearsage would not depart, as he intended
to fight her, and would not delay her but day
or two. According to this notice the Alabama
left the port of Cherbourg this. morning at about
$50 o'clock.
At10.2O A. NJ, we discovered her steering
towards us; fearing the question of jurisdiction
might arise, we steamed to sea, until distance
of six or seven miles was obtained from the Cher
bourg Breakwaters, when we rounded to and
commenced steering for the Alabama. As we
approached her within about 200 yards she
opened her fire, we received two or three broad
sides before shot was returned. The action
continued; the respective steamers making cir
Gle round and round at distance of about 900
yards from each other.
At the expiration of an hour the Alabama
struck, going down about uttwenty minutes after
wards, and carrying many persons with her
1t affords me great qualification to announce
that all did their duty, exhibiting degree Of
GOODNESS, which gave promise at the outset of
certain victory l have the honor to be most

FINE WORDS.

You may always know southern gentleman
by his language. For instance the Richmond
Eranoi1ser, which is written by none but persons
of the purest blood, speaking of the nomination
of Lincoln and johnson, says:
"All these several movements we are obliged
to watch, and, if possible, understand-by reas-
on of their possible effects upon the war; other
wise we have no earthly interest in the matter,
and if we were now at peace with that nation it
would be altogether Indifferent TO as aohat ape,
or hyenG or jGcbdSs they set up TO govern then" "
We are not surprised to find the pro-slavery
journals in this city echoing the Shareholders
language in relation to the President and Gov
ernor johnson. The sneer at the latter as
mere tailor comes appropriately from these per-
sons; no doubt at the Chicago Convention they
viii nominate only slaveholding gentleman y
These same persons who now abuse Andrew
johnson because he was once a tailor, in 1860
forsook Douglas, who had once been carpenter
in order to support Breckenridge, who was a
"southern gentleman" that is to say, slave
holder with union on his tongue and treason in
his hearty. 7. Post.
