[From our Regular Correspondent] Letter from the 7th Regiment. Co. K, 7th Me. Vols., Camp near 1 Harrison's Landing, July 8th. 1862. y. To the Editor of the Pree*: We have had a hard time. I cannot attempt at this time to describe our retreat, but will give you the outline of our operations, reserv ing details for a future occasion. On tin* 23d ultimo, our right wing was at tacked and thrown back on the line of Me chaniesvillc and Hanover. The former place, you will remember, was taken by our brigade, after a sharp combat, on the 26th of May. By 4 o'clock, P. M., the right wing had fallen back •o near our camp on the south side of the Chlckahominy, that we could hear the volley and see the smoke rising above the trees; at dark the firing ceased, and the night was quiet; but In the morning the action commenced in earnest, and continued through the forenoon* At 12 o clock the enemy had gamed possession of Gaines’ Hill, and were there within shelling range of our camp. They at once began send ing cast-iron compliments to us, but, our guns being heavier and of longer range, were soon silenced. At 6 P. M.. they commenced an at tack on our front and shelled our camp until dark. We replied with twenty well-served field guns, and for a time things were lively, I assure yon. During the night, nothing of note occurred except the movement of heavy col umns of troops in various directions. On this day the loss in the regiment was ■light: Corporal Scott W. Norcross received a severe wound on the shoulder, and was sent to the depot fur wounded at Savage's station. On Saturday, the 28th, all was quiet until 12.30 P. M., when a smart artillery engage ment began, doing no damage to our regiment except wounding two men slightly. At 3 o’clock, the enemy had secured possession of two important points, which we were not strong enough to retake, and we at once saw that we must fall back. We then began to destroy everything which could not be re moved, tents, rations, munitions, baggage, Ac., leaving nothing whatever to go as trophies to Richmond; this complete, we retired slowly and in perfect order towards the James river. At 3 o’clock on Sunday morning, our divi sion (Smith’s) was ordered to cover the re treat of the army. When three miles from Savage’s station, Capt. Cochrane of our com pany, who had been feeble for several days, became so ill that Dr. Hunter ordered an am bulance for him, and he was taken along with the regiment, and after reaching James River was sent to Hygeia Hospital at Fortress Mon roe, as were all the sick and wounded saved on the retreat. Lieut. E. D. Johnson then as sumed command of the Company. Before reaching Savages station the enemy came up and commenc'd a furious attack, but we drove them^rack th heavy loss. At the station was a large amount of stores, ammunition and tents; the railroad having been already des troyed we could not remove them, and were forced to burn everything. At Savage’s sta I tiuu were 305 sick and wounded soldiers, all 1 so ill or so badly wounded, that they could not ■f be removed. We left surgeons, hospital stores and tents sufficient for them, and sorrowfully abandoned them to the mercies of the foe.— Among them was Corporal Norcross, before mentioned, and Eugene Sullivan of our Com pany. We marched all that night, and at day light crossed White Oak Swamp. We then halted until the other divisions or the army, with their trains could get out of our way.— At 12 o’clock M. the enemy came on to us, and began a cannonade of two hundred Shells per minute. We had a terrible contest One of our batteries was silenced immediately, but being promptly supported by the reserve artil lery, we held them at bay until after dark, and then resumed our retreat The loss among the infantry of the division was light; the 7th, lucky as ever, did not lose a man that day and night, but the batteries suffered severely. We marched throughout the night, and at daylight Tuesday, July 1st, reached the James Kiver, six miles above here. At l» A. M. we marched back to the front and waited an at tack, but we did not get a chance at them that day, but the division on our left, and nearer the river, hail a heavy battle, in w hich the gunboats participated, routing the enemy with terrible carnage. Wednesday, at 2 o’clock A. M., we took up our line of march, and at 3 o’clock it came on to rain, and continued to fall heavily until 1 P. M., at which time we reached Harrison landing near City Point, the wettest and muddiest set of fellows you ever saw. The whole army came in during the day, and Gen. McClellan in person established the line of the new position. On the 3d insl. we moved to the front about two miles, and are now throwing up strong field works. We have already mounted 20 heavy seige guns in this division, and I am told that works are be ing extended along our entire front. Our po sition is Impregnable, but we must have more men, and rest for those we have got. Few regiments in the army have five hundred men fit for duty, and yet have to do the work of a thousand. How long we shall wait here is un known to me; but give us reinforcements and we will fight the ground over again, hard as it may be when we have once been within two hours’ march of Richmond. “Old Abe” has just passed through the camp, and we were turued out to see him. He looks hard. Yours, J. Pli'r and Mantle Mirrors.

Premonitory Symptoms. A wide-spread impression prevails that new and unusual rigor is to be infused into fhe ar my movements, and that defensive operations are to give place to offensive, of the most sto peudoaa and crushing character. Gen. Pope in Virginia will infuse new life into the cam paign. He has not only the courage and the dash, but he has the necessary prudence, and the rebels will find him plying them with heavy blows when mid where they least expect it. The achievement of Gen. Curtis in Arkan sas, is one of the most brilliant of the whole war. When nearly surrounded by hostile forces larger than his own, with supplies scarce and of inferior quality, and with guerilla bands led by reckless and unprincipled men preying upon his rear and flanks, it was feared that his little army should be auuihilated before aid could reach him, but he has nobly cut his way out, and in the mean time has inflicted severe punishment upon the rebels. The career of the brigand Morgan, in Kentucky and Tennes see, is awakening a spirit in the Southwest that will never slumber until all the fuel that can feed rebellion in that quarter, has been reduced to impalpable nothingness. I'ndisgnised Rebel Sympathy. Some people are so excessively polite that they doubt the existence of any rebel sympa thy in New England, and pronounce the sug gestion that there is yet lingering any such feeling, an abolition lie. But “murder will out,” and so will treason. It has done so in Connecticut In Hartford lives Tlios. II. Sev tnour, who figured in Mexico, and was sutise quently rewarded for partisan labors by tho appointment of Minister to Russia. On his re turn he acted with the Breekenridge party, and has l«een since run for Governor on the democratic ticket in the “Nutmeg State.” His friends have insisted upon his loyalty, and on ly a few days since a paragraph got Into the papers setting forth that he was alxmt to raise and head a regiment, and offer himself and it to the Government to aid in putting down the rebellion. Recently a large, patriotic and enthusiastic war meeting was held in Hartford, and Sey mour’s name was used in the list of vice presi dents. He was absent at the time, and on his return he wrote a letter to the Hartford Times —a rebel-sympathizing organ—disclaiming all participation in the meeting as well as sympa thy for it. aud a portion of the letter was so glaring in its avowal of sympathy for the rebel cause and so lacking in sympathy for the gov ernment, that the Times omitted it in its city edition. The following extract is enough to show how nearly allied is treason in Connecticut, to the same fell spirit farther down east: I must Is* permitted to add, that considering the sentiments which I have never hesitated to express concerning the prosecution of the war, 1 cannot help but regard it as a somew hat singular circumstance that my name should have lieon made to appear before the public as one of the aiders anil abettors of a war meet ing. If it is necessary to be more explicit, I beg leave to state that, knowing w hat the meeting would I s' beforehand, 1 could not have been in duced to attend it, or take a part in its doings —anil that, having glanced at the speeches and the proceedings generally of that meeting, 1 particularly desire to clear myself from any participation, directly or indirectly, in what took place there. The meeting if 1 have not misunderstood its general hearing, is one which ignores peaceful remedies of any sort as a means of restoring the Union, and calls loudly for men and means to aid in the subjugation ami consequent degiadat ion and overthrow of the South. 1 follow, gentlemen, in no such cru sade, neither will I contribute, in any way. to the accomplishment of such bloody purposes. The monstrous fallacy of the present day, that the Uuion can lx- re-established by destroying any part of the South, is one which will hurst with the shells that are thrown into its de fenseless cities, and leave the condition of this country, after its treasures are exhausted, ami its brave men on both sides consigned to hos pitals and graves, a spectacle tor reproach or commiseration ol the civilized world! A Voice from the Griiii The Iasi letter evet writien by the late Sen ator Douglas, w as lo clear his good name from the aaperstoris of those w ho had claimed to lie his political friends. It was while confined to t hat lied of death from which he was removed only to his final resting place.

Our men are in good spirits, considering the long marches of late, and the great amount of fatigue duty that they have had to undergo in making our new position as strong as possible. Honest old Abe made us a visit yesterday, and rode along in front of our lines w ith Gen. McClellan. The boys cheered vocifer ously as he rode past, and it was a novelty in deed to see a live President, and more so ut this time, and in this place. The enemy has not made any attack since we got fairly located here. The gunboats are a great protection, and a perfect terror to our foes.

To the Editore of the Portland Daily Preen Yesterday, such of the ununiformed militia of Brownfield as had not skedaddled, met their “brothers in arms" from Porter and Hiram, at Hiram Bridge, for the purpose of selecting offi cers for their respective companies. The elec tion was conducted in good order, anil the pre siding officer, A. n. Walker, Esq., of Lovell, did himself much credit by disposing of the business in his usual prompt and energetic manner. The election passed otf in a quiet and good natured manner. A laughable affair happened at the “confectionery eland by the explosion or bursting of a cask of fermented liquor, which created a hiefore was repeated. Our brigade this time had the front, aud after an hour’s fight, our old antagonists of Lee's Mills and Meeiianiesville—the Oeorgia Brigade— were repulsed with great slaughter, losing many prisoners. I saw Col. Latnan of Yacht Wan derer notoriety, borne by. mortally wounded. (Ten. Smith was in the hottest of the lire, giv ing his orders in his usual unruffled manner) and personally supervising our artillery. The rebels sent over a flag of truce for permission to bury their dead, and Capt, Ayres, going out to meet them, discovered that they had sixty pieces of cannon already in position and ranged, all upon the small strip of woods where our division lay closely packed. By a ruse, he kept the Hag of truce out till night, the reliel cannonlers waiting all the while anxiously at their guns. We were then safe for a little long er, and lay down to rest; but the stench of de caying horses and men (it was a former battle ground) prevented sleep. The feelings of those few who knew that certain auuiliiiatiou awaited us w ith the morn ing dawn, can lietter be imegined than de scribed. Two o’clock came; will our orders never come Three o’clock—the growing day uecorues overcast, .rust as me ngni begins to steal among the trees, art aid dashed up, and away we go, breathless and still, thus cover ing on that march the retreat of the whole ar my.

Wallau.oth do D Small Change.—A Legal Tender.— Congress passed a bill on Thursday, which re ceived the sanction of the President, and is now a law. providing that on and after the first day of August, all postage and other U. S. stamps shall be received for dues of less than five dollars, as a legal tender in ordinary busi ness transactions, and may be obtained in ex change for IT. S. treasury notes. The second section of the law prohibits the issue of paper currency of less tliau oue dollar by any private corporation or bank. This law will relieve the scarcity of specie change which has become a serious difficulty, and at the same time will furnish the Government with a loan of no small magnitude; and its tendency will be to reduce the premium on gold and silver, and bring specie again into circulation. It is the most simple, satisfactory, and universally applicable method yet proposed for relieving Uie scarcity of small change uuder which our people are suffering. The principle objections to the use of our present style of stamps are that they stick to the fingers, and to each other, and soon get torn and defaced. To obviate these diffi culties, the Post Office Department are prepar ing, for general circulation, stamps of various denominations, from three to ninety cents, printed on thick, ungummed paper, which will be ready in a few days. Our people, therefore, need not fear longer the scarcity of change. Pito-scE-xi-i'M.—This word has I teen air plied to the ynllrry in our new City Hall, and, as often used, it is calculated to mislead a stranger. As an instance of this misleading see the following from the Bath Times: Tlie Portlanders swell some. One of its pa l>ers speaks of the “Proscenium” of the City Hall. Heavens! why not have said stage? But some people talk big. In answer to this humorous criticism, our neighbor of the Advertiser says: Just call this way, Bro.Lincoln, and we will show the "Proscenium”—show you that it is something different from the stage,—that it trill hubi about as many people as the largest hall in the city of Bath. Italics ours. Now, the explanation is really as w ide of the truth as the criticism. Prosce nium is not, properly, a stage; it certainly is not a yalfery; instead of holding more peo ple than the largest hall in Bath, it don't hold any -body, though, property speaking, a prosce nium does hold a thiny—a curtain, and a cur tain only. Strictly speaking, there is no pro scenium in the City Hall. Proscenium—say the learned Doctors— is a uawu nwiu, urmni IMMII iMiin h niUpOUlHI, signifying before and stage—literally, before the Stage," and Worcester defines the word, in its antiquated signification, as “the stage of a theatre," hut in its literal and proper significa tion, as “the frontispiece, or ornamental frame work, whence the curtain hangs that separ ates the stage from the audience. By”The Hartford Post has the honor of proposing—though the New York Post is get ing the credit of it—to give the offices created by the tax bill, to disabled soldiers. In rela tion to this proposition the New York Post says: It is right. Let the heroes of the war reap the lienefits of this employment. Let it be a shame to any sturdy, able-bodied civilian to hold one of these positions, while maimed men from the battle-fields of their country are among us unemployed. While this course would encourage men to light lor a Govern ment which shows some care for their welfare, it would do away with the nuisance of au ar my of office-seekers which rises into boister ous existence at the end of every political campaign. Inasmuch as the soldiers have done hard work for small pay, it is due them that they should have this light work with its accompanying reward. Enlisting in Other States.—We men tioned a day or two since that it was said that some of our young men were going into other States to enlist, and remarked that other States offered no aid to the families of our citizens who enlist in their ranks. There is another view of the case. It is well known that there are now a large number of Maine men in the regiments of other New England States, and we are informed that GovVIYashburn is receiv ing every day from these men, pressing iin|>or tunities for his assistance to obtain for them, transfers to regiments from their own State. They have become convinced that they made a mistake. Our young men who are thinking of going to other States will do well to profit by their experience. Lieut. J. 15. Litchfield of Co. B, 4th Maine, has arrived at his home, in Kockland. Lieut. L. was wounded in the late battle before Richmond. ORIGINAL AND SELECTED. jy™ A correspondent writes: An officer connected with the State Prison, says that seventy aide-bodied men in that institution who would gladly take up arms in their coun try’s defence, and he asks if it is prudent or economical to sup|>ort them at a heavy cost, and in a few years allow them to come out and enjoy the liberty for which others have shed their blood. He goes for making them fight. The suggestion may be worth something, though the ex|>erience with Billy Wilson’s and the Fire Zouaves lessons our confidence in such kind of lighting material. We must ask our esteemed correspond ents to study as much as possible the art of concentrativeness. Our columns are crowded, and we now have on hand little less than three acres of accepted communications, all of which we wish to publish, but it is hard getting them into a half-acre lot. We simply suggest that, if correspondents will lsdl down their thoughts so as to get at the essential oils and essences, it will enable us to do something towards clearing off the docket A city cotemporary, under the head of “Religious Notices,’’ advertises silk mantillers and summer goods. Well, it is not so very in appropriate, for there is a great deal of religion in dry goods and millinery, judging from the manner in which they are often displayed in churches and on sacred occasions. To-day we yield the field largely to correspondents. The “letter from the Held of conflict” is from a gentleman of culture, a grad uate of Bowdoin, who has won honorable dis tinction in the field, not so much from pam pered letter writers as by his sword. -Jf” We judge from the accounts given by the participators that the recent excursion to the White Mountains was a grand afl'air.

Prentice says: It is the exhortations anti taunts of rebel women that have driven their husbands, sons, brothers, into the South to till rebel graves. If their ow n hands do not smell to them of blood, God must in pity have paralyzed their olfactory nerves.

He left his regiment at Beaufort, a little more than a week since, to which place they were sent to rest and recruit. He says there has been some sickness in the regiment and that they liave for some time been encamped in unhealthy localities. Beau fort. however, is a health place, and the men will -non recover.

Gold in Nova Scotia.—The Halifax Re porter says that the prospects of the Renfrew Diggings an- excellent. The niinrtz taken from the claims averages $1800 to the ton. The claims adjoining those above referred to. have been secured for u company in course offormation. called the Gold Mining Company of Nova Scotia, to consist of 1000 shares of $10 each. We believe the stock is nearly all taken up. We are informed that there is a man in Waterville who is making strenuous efforts to prevent men from enlisting. We are not in favor of mob law, but that man ought to feel the weight of un outraged public opinion. It is time such proceedings were stopped, and that suddenly. The time is past for dallying with traitors. ~lT”Tlie Rockland Gazette states that the body of Mr. John Manning, who was drowned last April, was found by two young men at Estes’ Cove, last Monday.

MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Unmet of a Prisoner.—Mr. Converse A Babcock, recently returned from the South favored us on Saturday last with a few state mcnts in regard to his captivity among the reb els, with whom lie has been sojourning foi many months. Mr. B. was connected with the 6th Massachusetts regiment, Co. B., Charles town City Guard, and was wounded at the battle of Bull Hun, in the following manner.— Being ordered to lie down near the brow of a hill, himself and comrades were patiently waiting for a shot at the enemy, when a spenl cannon ball came rolling and bounding along striking him on the tipjof the Augers of his left hand, and doubling up the knuckles, contin ued on its course, breakiug the arm and dislo cating his left shoulder. He was instantly par alyzed by the blow, but heard the person in front of him exclaim "I am wounded.” The stiot passing over the forw ard Ale, had but grazed his knee before its contact with Mr. Babcock. Suffering intense agony, he manag ed to reach an ambulance, and was conveyed to a small white house used for the temporary shelter of the wounded, although exposed to the Are of the enemy’s batteries. While lying there he felt somewhat contented, as from time to time he was informed the enemy were get ting worsted. But as shotaftershot would plow up the ground in the vicinity of the building, he could not hut think himself in some little danger. Soon, however, upon the advance of the rebels, he considered his case somewhat hopeless, especially when a body of secesli cavalry rode into the yard, giving as they did so, a most unearthly cheer. The colonel com manding was disposed to treat him kindly, but the captain acted like a demon. This man or dered him to walk to Manassas, which, essay ing to do, he fell down through faintness, oc casioned by a loss of blood. He was then thrown into an ambulance, and upon arrival at Manassas lie was placed with his back to a tree, in which position he remained through the night, with his wounds still undressed.— From the date of the battle, on Sunday, until Tuesday, he received nothing to eat. at whieli time he arrived at Richmond, lying in the cars •till uncared for until the next morning.— Wednesday morning he was sent to the Gener al Hospital, which contained about three hun dred and tidy unionists, of whom one hundred aoon died. The shoulder was without attend ance for six days, and his arm was neglected for sixteen days, the hand and lingers re ceiving no attention whatever. The only ex cuse given by the surgeons were that it was too much swollen. The Sisters of Charity were permitted to bestow upon them many kind acts of assistance, and behaved to the wounded in a manner which should call out the fullest gratitude from all those who ex perienced the value of their noble kindnesses. The ladies of Richmond at first were inclined to assist them, but the Richmond papers con demning the measure, the soldiers were left to themselves. Before his wounds were entirely healed he was confined in the Tobacco Ware house, where some of our men were most in humanly murdered hy the sentries on guard. Food was barely sufficient to sustain life, being about eight ounces of bread and three ounces of meat per diem. Shortly after he was con veyed to Tuscaloosa, Ala., at which place the prisoners were treated well, and eventually paroled. While at Weldon they were seized and taken to Salisbury, and thrown into prison, where their food was of the poorest quality. The scurvy breaking out among them, they were allowed to go into the yard. Finally, after having signed four or five pa roles, they were permitted, two hundred at a time, to pass to our lines. WhcrsJhe men came in sight of the old flag, it was greeted with nine cheers, and tears of joy and thank fulness ran down their careworn checks, while each man felt a stronger determination than ever to stand up again for the dear old emblem of our glorious country. Thus, ten mouths after his capture, did Mr. Babcock again ex perience the blessings of liberty, re-ntering the federal lines on the 25th day of May, 1802. QriET.—The morals of the city for the past three days have been above reproach. But few cities of the size of Portland, in all New England, can boast the general quietude in the line of nefarious transactions which we enjoy. Evil doers regarding the lynx-eyed police of our city, with fear and tremblng are less prone to exhibit themselves, than they would were there a lax system of management in the po lice department. Postage Stamps, ebgo Small Change. Now that stamps have become the general cir culating medium', it would be well for parties receiving them in comnact iinrk.urc of sums from twenty-five cents to three dollars, to cut the cords which hold them, and take a peep oc casionally. A friend of ours, who will be odd, recommends that they be jtasted on to a half sheet of letter paper, and, provided with a pair of scissors, clip them off as occasion may require. He also says that a small boy to carry a tin case of them, wouldn’t be bad, when large amounts are to be paid out. Cowardly Assault.—Twodrnnkon Irish men passing up Exchange street on Saturday forenoon last, came in contact with a gentle man, a clerk in one of our stores, when one of them, without the least provocation, dealt him p severe blow in the face. A gentleman pass v ingin time,endeavored to part them, when the other interfered, at which, officer Foster charg ing upon the enemy, took him from the field and threw him into the yawning abyss, beneath I the city building. We learn that the offender J is an “enlisted man,” and we would in this con nection, suggest to himthc propriety of strain ing his pugnacious projiensities until his arrival upon the battle-fields of our country. A Leg Lost is not Lost.—Dr. Loring ex hibits at his Drug store, on Exchange street, a model artificial leg, after the design of the cel ebrated Palmer, every joint moving with the legularity and elasticity of life. Any person having the mistortune to lose so valuable a member, can have it duplicated by this truly ingenious and valuable piece of mechanism. Unfortunate Predicament.—On Satur day morning, a man who lives not a hundred miles from Oxford street, in executing the per formance familiarly termed gaping, opened his mouth too wide, and disloated the jaw. Here was a fix, and with mouth wide open he begau to make strange unearthly noises, frightening the women of the neighborhood. A physician was called who relieved his distress with no more serious result than a terrible scare. Twentieth Regiment.—The 20th Regi ment is to lie commanded by Prof. Chamber lain of Bowdoin College, who patriotically pro mises to exchange the recitation room for the camp. We understand that Col. Chamberlain thinks he can fill up his regiment very soon. Z9~ The brig Castilian, Capt. Marwick, will take all packages destined for the Maine regi ments at New Orleans, and vicinity, free of ex pense, if left at the counting-room of Jonas H. Pebley on the 21st or 22d Inst. Arrival of U. S. Ship “Gemsbok.”—This vessel arrived here yesterday foreneon, from Provincetown, and will remain here some ten days, her object being to procure seamen in place of those whose time of service has ex pired.

New Iron Steamer “Ironsides” in Commission. Death of tien. Twiggs. ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the North American. St. Johns, N. F., July 19. Steamship North American from Liverpool 10th and Queenstown 11th, for Quebec, passed Cape Knee this morning and was hoarded by the News Yacht of the Associated Press and the following despatch obtained. Steamship Bavaria, from New York, arrived at Southampton on the 10th. Parlimentary proceedings on the 10th were unimportant. An occasional correspondent of the Times, i writing from Patnunkey river, gives a strong picture of the dishonesty and mismanagement of the war on the federal side. He says the courage and resignation of the volunteers are above all praise, and that they stand hardships winch no Euro|iean army would submit to without revolting, which is owing to the igno rance and negligence of their generals, and scaundrelism of money making people. Hun I dred. are slaughtered by the ignorance or drunkenness of some generals. Notwithstand hig that a river and railways reach closely up to Gen. McClellan's army, whole divisions are for consecutive days without other food than a few wretched biscuits and more wretched cof i fee. For days they are without an ounce of meat, and when they do get it it is salt beef.— He argues that Gen. McClellan will not risk an attack on Richmond, prefering the more. The Times opposes the cry from Manchester in the production of cotton. It says govern ment can do nothing which the manufacturer* cannot do much better, ami also that govern ment interference would not only la- impossi ble, but in the higher degree prejudicial. What is needed in order to secure an adequate sup ply of cotton is an assurance that prices will be permanent, and that is an assurance that Manchester shrinks from giving. Any price that is required for this year will be cheerful ly paid, but no encouragements will lie made for a longer period. This w ill never do unless we are to have a durable demand, and that we shall hardly tlnd so long as we are ]>cr]>etuaily speculating on the return of that supply from America which has just so signally failed. A large open air meeting at Stockport, adopted a jietition to Parliament praying the government to take into serious consideration the propriety ot using its influence to tiring aliout conciliation in America, as it is from that country alone that an immediate supply of cotton can lie expected, and if need be, not to hesitate to acknowledge the independence of the Southern States, ns they lielieve that must be the ultimate result. An amendment was ottered but rejectedjind the motion was carried by an overw helming majority. Prince of Wales is alsiut to visit Russia in the royal yacht Oshorn. It is reported that the British Channel fleet will accompany the yacht to the Baltic. Military honors were being extended to Marshal McMahon during his visit to England. The Viceroy of Egypt, in a speech in Man chester. said in regard to cotton. that next year he felt confident in promising from Egypt, if not double the amount of last crop, at least an increase of one hall. ILatest via. lamdonderry.) News of fighting before Richmond excites great attention. Daily News treats it as a serious reverse for federal*, and likely to draw out rather than shorten the war. Times says the alleged stragetieal motives of Gen. McClellan are purely unintelligible. It also says that recent events must infuse new energy into the confederates, and may produce results calculated to lead to a cessation of hos tilities, and eventually terminate the war. FRANCK. Admiral Degraviere had left Paris for Cher bourg, to embark for Mexico. It is also now asserted that Gen. Forry will j embark on the 20th of July for the same des- tination. Paris bourse is firmer.

A dispatch dated “Head Quarters, Army Potomac, July 18,” says a flag of truce went up yesterday from Turkey Island Creek, hav ing on Itoard Gen. Dix, who went to meet Gen. Hill, for the purpose of making a permanent arrangement for an exchange of prisoners. The interview was highly satisfactory, but no conclusion being arrived at. A flag of truce will return to-day, when Gen. Lee will lie present. An Englishman who represents himself as a son of the Duke ot Somerset, was found at head quarters a few days since under suspic ious circumstances, lie stated that lie was with the rclx'l General prior and during the recent seven days battle. He has been sent North. Hon. John S.

He may be Secre tary of War,but it is believed in well informed circles, that Mr. Stanton will retire to relieve the President of all embarrassment, and that Mr. Lincoln will appoint Gen. Banks Secretary of War with Gen. Hallcck as Military Advisor. Another despatch says the President during hi* late visit to the army, asked Gen. McClel lan if he desired to resume the command of the whole army of the United .States, and the General preferred to retain the command of the forces now under him. It is also stated that the chief command was offered to Gen. Pope and declined. A free colored man who escaped and arrive! here from Richmond says, the rebel.loss ii killed, wounded and missing in the seven day battle was 32,000. The rebel army numberei in the neighborhood of 250,000. Gen. Ewel was severely wounded on the neck. •I'm* Johnson had experienced a repulse am mortification of his wound was feared. From Gen.

Butler for offensive expressions in his letter of June 14th. had been acknowledg ed by Gen. Butler as representative of Great Britain. Arms, clothing, Ac., for five regiments of Louisianians had reached New Orleans per steamer Fulton, and the organization had com menced with a prospect of success. CapL Magee's company of cavalry had brok en up a rebel camp at Amit Biidge,and killed and wounded several and brought 8 prisoners and a lot of arms, stores, Ac., to Baton Rouge. The British war vessels Rvnaiilo and Land rail had left New Orleans. The bombardment of Galveston had not commenced.

Special dispatch to Forney’s Press: Memphis, July IS. The Grenada, late Memphis, Appeal of loth inst., report that the rebel ram and iron clad gunboat Arkansas, under command of Capt. J. N. Bryan came down from the Yazoo river on the loth and ran by that portion of our fleet which lies alaive Vicksburg succsafullv and anchored under the batteries surrounding that city. The Appeal says the ram ran down several Federal war vessels and disabled many more. One of our vessels was blown up. The Arkansas is a very formidable gunboat, being plated with two arid a half inch iron with the piates and nails rivited. She has a very heavy armament, and is furnished with two propellers seven feet in diameter, with four flanges each. Tlie loss of the rebels is set down at 10 killed and 13 wounded. The Federal loss is not known but is supposed to have been very heavy. In addition to the alaive the Appeal's dis patch coutains a great deal which is bombast and not worthy of repiidiatiou.hiit there is un questionably some truth in the statement made above. There are no recent arrivals from Vicks burg.

The Maine 5tii in Battle.—The Lewis ton Journal, whose editor has had a long con versation with Col. Jackson, says: “It was in this charge, which lasted not more than fifteen minutes, that the regiment sus tained its principal loss. The men advanced with a shout. amid a perfect storm of bullets, shot and shell, which whizzed through the air as thick as hailstones in a storm. The men involuntarily l>ent forward their heads as they breasted the terrible torrent of death-dealing missiles, but no one wavered or hesitated.— They drove the rebels before them and gained possession of the Gaines Hill, but not until their ranks were fearfully decimated. The wonder is, says Col. Jackson, not tha t they lost so many, but that any escaped. When the charge was ordered, he and Lt. Col. Heath took their proper positions jn the regiment, both expecting that they should fall. The reg iment had reached the crest of the hill on which Ur. Game's house was situated, and Col. Jackson was in the yard around the house on horseback, and had raised his sword over his head to cheer on his men, when a piece of shell passed directly in front of him, grazing so closely as to cut the belt which supported his sword, and strikiug the fleshy part of his arm just above the elbow. The concussion was so great that it threw Col. J. otf his horse into the grass, and this was the last that he knew for more than an hour. On recovering himself and ascertaining the name of Ids rescuer, he found himself lx*tween the ttre of two armies. Tlw. 1...1I.V* .1 .1 _1. _ 1 I uvn’ii nu i cu ll as to cut off the tops of the grass. The scene at this time is described as awful ly grand. It was near nightfall, and the thick smoke which hung over the Held shut out from view the opposing armies, their positions being disclosed only by the sheet of flame w hich hurst forth almost continuously from either line of battle. The roar of artillery, intermin gled witli the crack of thousands of muskets, •airly shook the earth, and could be compared to nothing but what one might fancy to l>e the united volume of a hundred thunder storms. The course of the shells could be distinctly seen overhead, and the whiz of passing bullets I wits any tiling but pleasant.” Col. J. gays the gallantry of our Maine troops in the late battle has never been sur passed. They fought every where like very' tigers. A Rebel Love Letter. A friend has shown us a love letter which was taken from the pocket of a dead rebel killed at one of our battles in North Carolina, which I we give as near verbatim as our types will permit, for the original has no stops: Nov th 11 IStil n'oke caroliana Dear Sie it withe pleasure that 1 receved you clnde ltr and was glade to hear form your ancer in good parte wich I Receved form your kind Sie I will not try to tell you niv love to you lor I can say to you that 1 cannot express my love to vou O my Dear one since 1 have been a ipiaintcd with you I have felt the love bernin in my hart for you that no other Lady has ever had that power over me as you now 1 posess.

An eligible lot, 112 x 1.47 feet, costing j $10,400, has licen purchased and paid for. The building will, it is estimated, cost $40,(HM); and of this sum nearly $45,000 have already been subscribed; which with the sale of the present church for about half that amount, will enable the parish to carry out their plans in a liberal style and without risk of embarrassment.— [Boston Transcript.

PROSPECTUS OF THE PORTLAND DAILY PRESS: EDITED by JOHN T. GILMAN, recently of the Bath Times, and JOSEPH B. HALL, of the Aroostook Herald. The Portland Daily Press is intended to be an enterprising, vigorous and lire Daily Morning Paper, containing the latest and fullest news by mail and telegraph. THE MAINE STATE PRESS Is a large, well-filled, carefully edited, and neatly printed weekly pajier, intended specially for general circulation throughout the State. Both of the above named papers will labor to inculcate, in no dictatorial spirit, sound political prin ciples and to promote the material interests of the State, and of the City of Portland as its interests twine with, and are inseparable from, those of the State. Politically, the Drear will give an earnest, cordial, and generous support to the administration of Abra ham Lincoln, who in little more than one year, has indcllibly impressed himself upon the nation's heart as an incorruptible patriot, an inflexible Chief Mag istrate, and an honest man; the ability of whose ad ministration is most’signally exhibited, not [only in the matchless operations of our army and navy, but in the unpniallelcd fact that, in the midst of this gigantic rebellion, our Government securities are selling at a premium. It will zealously labor to ex hibit and defend sound Republican principles, and, inasmuch as political organizations have become a necessity in carrying into effect great principles of political economy, and inasmuch as tthe Republican party which, in the brief chapter of its history already written, has successfully refuted the allegation of its enemies that its designs and tendencies were sec tional, and triumphantly vindicated its claim to a just and liberal Nationality, has remained steadfast in its devotion to the L'nion while other organizations have so generally become infected with a disloyal spirit, and inasmuch as it is the only party which at present seems competent to conserve the great prin ciples underlying all free Governments, the 1’rkra will cordially sustain the organization of that party, not with a design to foster a mere partizan spirit, but in the full conicintisness that it embodies the true principles upon w hich our government rests, and af fords the only available means of accomplishing such results as a lofty patriotism imperatively demands. It will neither seek nor endorse any compromises with men in rebellion against the laws of the land, but will inculcate loyalty to the great central idea of all true democracy—that the majority must govern. Upon the exciting question of Domestic Slavery, it may be proper to say, that while the Prkm will sanc tion no interference with the constitutional or legal rights of loyal men, it will neither apologize for an evil which constitutes the foulest blot upon our national character, nor attempt to resist the tide of events that seems destined to sweep from existence an institution which is the greatest anomaly in a free government. The emancipation of slavery iu the the loyal State governmclits, to secure gradual eman cipation, as proposed by President Lincoln, and all other constitutional measures looking to a peaceful removal of our greati^t "moral, political and social evil,” will find in the Press a generous and hearty support. While thus distinctly announcing the general course proposed for the Press, and intending th%t, alike in war and in peace—in our country's peril and in its triumph, it shall speak with no uncertain voice, we do not lose sight of the fact that true inen have hon estly differed, and that, coming by different routes they now find themselves travelling parallel roads; and, instead of seeking to widen the difference be tween those who are required by a common patriot ism to act in concert, the Press will labor hopefully to cucourage unity of purpose and harmony of act ion amoug all loyal men. Aside from its political department, the Press will be earnestly devoted to the advancement of the best interests of the city and State. Its Local Depart ment will in no case be neglected. Particular atten tion will be given to the Commercial and Maritime interests. It will be the aim of its conductors to make it an indispensable institution of the State, and a ge nial and welcome visitor in every work-shop, count ing-house, aud family circle. The Editors, not un known to the people of Maine, will give their undivi ded energies to the work before them, and labor to make such a paper as the city of Portland, the State of Maine, and the exigencies of the times demand one that shall be true to the popular instincts. The Portland Daily Press is printed with en tirely new type, on a sheet as largo as that of any daily in Maine, aud issued every morning, (Sun days excepted.) at 85 per annum. Subscriptions for less than six months, 50 cents per month. The Maine State Press, large, neatly printed, and well filled with the news of the week, and orig inal and selected Political. Agricultural. Literary and Miscellaneous reading, making it specially adapted to the Family Circle, will be issued weekly, at 81.50 per year, idvariably in advance. To any person sending the names of Jtre new gubscriberg, cash iu advance, an extra copy will be sent gratis. N. A. Foster, i J. T. (>i lx an, J N. A. Foster k Co., Publishers. J. B. Hall.
