THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. CO " FEDERATE STATES OP AMERICA. WILMINGTON, W. C. MONDAY, JULY 6, 18C3. Aptby mt tbe Eorth. For tie first time since the war commenced, tbe theatre of hostilities has been effectively tranferred to the North of the Potomac and even to the banks of the Sosquehan- uab, and yet, to the great surprise of the Northern Lincoln, ito papera, the people of the invaded section fly but not to arms. There is no uprising of the people or Pennsvlra nil for the defence of their own soil and the protection of the Capital of th sir State. Up to the close of last wee only eleven regiments not over seven thousand men had been sent from other States. More are talked of, but have net come. . The Northern papera are puzzled to account for this state of things. The Likcolk organs talk about Copper Leads and traitors. The opposition journals say plainly that the people are tired of the war as now conducted, that they have lost confidence in the administration that they are apprehensive of evil and hopeless of good. It is also saU that tie apathy of the people is due to the gen tlemanly bearing of the Confederate troops. But whatever may be the cause, the fact appears to be indisputable. There i3 actually nothing doing in Pennsylvania, and the raw levies sent on from New York or New Jersey will have cinster-rolls much fuller than their ranks. But Pennsylvania ia not the only Noithern State that re lusea to be roused up by any consideration. The apathy so deprecated by the Black Bepublican press i3 wide-spread and general. The people are aflected by a " grand dia. gust ;" and besides that, military authority has become so omnipotent at the North has so completely absorbed in it self all tho powers of the States and all the rights of the people that the public spirit of the citizens outside of the army has been crushed and their instincts of self-reliance and self-defence almost annihilated. Altho-jrh we have no positive information of tha fact, jet we have tbe utmost confidence that our forces occu pied Harrisbnrg some days ago. The Baltimore papers of ihe 2Sth ult., say that on the 27th the Confederate forces were between Carlisle and Earrisburg and only 15 miles from the la'ter place. The same papers state that sufese. qaently a Confederate force appeared at Duncannon, a station on the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, fourteen miles North and West of Ilarrisburg, the evideat design being to destroy the great railroad bridge over the Susque hannah river and thus cut cS tho City from Railroad com munication with the Wept. Thus Ilarrisburg would be isolated on all sides. Tbe -biggest lick that Le could strike at the North, par alyzing their manufactures and their Bteamships more than anything else, would be to make a dash upon the coal-fields of Leh'gh, Schuylkill and Carbon counties, as well as the Cum berland and Wyoming regions, all within striking distance tf our forces, lie might tear up their railroads and plains, blow cp their machinery, or for thatmatter set a fire to their minoa which would keep burning into the nineteenth cen tury. In fact, he might in a week strike a blow, which, both ia its immediate and resulting effects would form no small balance for all the evil the enemy has inflicted upon us. Augusta Savings Institut-os- For several days past the issues, small and large, of this institution have ' been refused in this city, in conscqaeoee oi a report inai the institution refused to redeem its notes on account of their issues having been counterfeited. A leltgnaci from a highly responsible eouree in Augusta shown m yesterday, gays there ia not a word of truth iu the re port. The issues of tbe instil uiiou will be redeemed as heretofore, and are circulating as frtely in Augu3ta as before tbe detection of the & unteifeits. Referring to the matter the Constitutionalist says : "The directors having ascertained that a few of their blank certificates of deposite have been recently stolen and fraudulently filled up and signed, desire tbe holders of certificate s in the city to present them for ex amination, and, if desired, lor payment. It has been satisfactorily shown, from three days' experience at the bank counter, that not one in a hundred of these circu lating in the city are counterfeits ; and it is believed that not one in ten thousand of those in tbe country are of this character. The signatures are badly written and easily distinguished from the genuine." Laaileston Louner. M TELEGRAN1. - fob Tils; .xnmXKru FROM RICHMOND. I JCHHOKD. Ju'y 3, 1883. The oiy i vnj (ji e' today.

Up to stvfii o'clock the nagf tiuce boat expected at City Point had not airived. Gskhbal BaAGa has fallen back to Tul!ahoma, and Hose cBAhz is advancing, with the view we think of giving bat tle. Tnllahcma is tho point of junction of the McMinnville Road with the Nashville ahd Chattanooga Road. It has no other imoortanco cave what it derives from tha defensive worka tLrown np there by cur army. Ro&ecbanz no doubt proceeds upon the supposition that Bbaoo's force has been seriously weakened for the pur pose of reinforcing that under Johnston in Mississippi, hence the advance of the wary and wiley Federal. Bbago's army ia said to be in fine condition and eager for the fray. By tbe way, this thing of being eager for the fray is a form of expression, only. There is no better army in the world than that under Lek. We have talked with men of that army who have been in many pitched battles and who bora themselves through all With distinguished gallantry, and we could not see th; any of them were 41 spoiling for a fiht." They were veterans. They were resolved to do their daty and their whole duty at all hazards, but they felt at each time of going into battle the deep and solemn nature of tho occasion. Bkagti's army will no doubt give a gocd account of themselves, eepeciaL'y if Eosecrakz has the temerity to attack them in their -.hisen position, for no man under htands the manasemtt of aitillery better than- General Brago. on the Wilmington an4 We!Joa Kail Road, ten mil Kenacsvifle, wLero they arrived about half pa Hie Raid on the W. Oi V. Rail Hon tl. Eaily yefcterday (Surdajr) morning, it was announced that tte Yankees lad reached Ken&csville, about CO milea from Newhern, at 11 o'clock the night previous, in force ot t rom 30CO to 1'JjO. It is reported that they consisted of cavalry and infantry, about half of them whites the balance negroea. On jeiterduy rccrning a detatchment of some three or four hundred Federal cavalry were sent to Warsaw lies from past nine o'clock, cut the telegraph wires, burned tho Rail Iioad, Dfcpot and Warehouse containing about 20,CC0 pounds of government bacon, end perhaps some ordnance stores. They also tore up about one-aLd a half mile of the track, and then proceeded towards Magnolia, on arriving wit ain about 2$ mi.'es of Uo latter depot, they are undeistood to have charged tLcir courso to the Eastward, in the direction of Kenansviile, their place of departure ia tha morning, and where it would appear their maia body had encamped. Gen. Whitg, has Borne considerable force in pursuit of tho enemy, and from tho feituation cf the two forces, it is probable tho Confederates attacked the Abolitionists last night or this morn iijr, in cr near Kenansville. On Eaturday n.;ght at Kenansville, the enemy burned Mr. Fro3l:cu's Sword Factory, and cro cr two houses. They t!so tock a camber of the best horses ia and around Kenacsviiie, ia place cf their jided animals. Since w riting the above, we have received the following despatch from Col. Feemcnt, Chief EDghieer and Superin tendent of the Road : Magnolia, July 6th, IS63. 1 ho Yankee raidors reached Warsaw about 10 o'clock yesterday lore noon. They burned the warehouse with 15, 00O pounds bacon, one passenger car, and tore up about one mile cf the tiack, aad lelt in a hurry in the direction of Kenansville. The promptness with which troops were brought here made them in a hutry to leave. I hope for good news to-day from our troops. The estimated force or the enemy ia 6C0 to fcOU mounted men, and four moun tain howitzers. The track will beiepaired to-day, as I have a large force The train will pas aa usual to-morrow morning. In a subseqao., cbpatch from Col. Fbxhost, he requests us to state that there v ere not more than four hundred men of the enemy In &U, at Warsaw. This goes to confirm pre vieus reports as to the number of raiders on the road at that place. Bow mcay of the enemy remained at KeEans villa ia not definitely known yet. Jt is quite probable that we ehall hear something from our ovrn forces within a few hours, either this evening, or certainly to-moi row morning I was told yesterday that Vallandigham had said that it would be a bad move on cur part to cross the fotomoc, inasmuch as it would injure the peace par ty. The World and Herald eay that the peace party is frustrated under the present excitement. Uoirespo aent unaneston Mercury. Suppose Air. Vallandigham and the New Yoik pa- pers aid Bay so, it is very natural that a ivortnern man should deprecate invasion of his country, even though he may be on the side of peace. The quotations of sucn opinions we regard as most ill timed. Their ten dency is to perpetute the long since exploded foolery that We could build up a peace party at the North, an idea that lies at the bottom of half oi our disasters in this war. It proceeds, too, on the i :ea that the invasion is destined to fail, a deepondent view which no South ern man should entertain for a moment. The correct position, as we understand rt is this : We should not attempt invasion unless we are prepared to carry it through successfully, crtat least with a strong probability of succsss. The proper conclusion is that by punishing the North severely for lis crimes, and over throwing its armies as we expect to do we shall make more peace men at the Ncjth than we should by twenty years of forbearance or five hundred "speeches from Vallandigham and Wood. It seem3 bard for our people to learn that there is but one road to peace a thorough drubbing of the enemy. The sooner we plant ourselves on this ground, the sooner will the war be brought to a close. Northern Democracy and foreign intervention are foolish delusions which should no longer be allowed to deceive. . FROM TENNESSEE. Special dispatch to the Atlanta Intell'gencer. Chattancoga, June 21). AH previous teiezrama from Wartrace miscarried.

They never were esteemed the more tVr bearing on their face the promise to be funded in bond3 ol 8 per cent : and are cot regarded as les3 vaiuable now that the Government is about to re fuse to bond them at all. and the banks here have dech'n ed to take them on deposit. (A policy' by the way, the banks nowhere else cave pursued.) J be credit and honor of the Govrenment are much involved in tbe nmt ter of thtir ultimate redemption as in any other of its issues, and the people continue to take them with the same confidence that they have received acd paid them out ever since they nrst saw tbe light. This coursecf the people and the business community is wise, and saves ihemsuves utm unnecessary shaves and drscocnts which would follow the rejection ol those rotes refused by tbe liicbmond baDks. Those notes will be taken for taxes, and we hope will be retired in that manner as rapidly as was hoped by those who shap ed the policy of the Government. Their continued es calation is a good evidence of people in the credit of the Government, and will prevent the inconvenience which was reasonably apprehended from the course of the Government and the banks ia putting them neder the ban.

Of oar own condition, numbers, etc., we will be pardon ed for holding silence, cnmcient that nobody js frighten ed, and that if Kosecrans really desires a fight his senti ments are amply reciprocated. Our troops are both pre pared ia body aud in mind. Our position Is considered a good one, but the precise battle ground is not yet decided. It is presumed by out siders that an engagement may occur to-day. Ihe raid upon Decherd n-ght before last was a farse. Fifteen hundred cavalry came up about nine o'clock with six pieces of artillery. Captain House, of the 2d Tennes see, met them with but twenty-eight picket neb, and fought them for an hour from a defensible point. At last they brought their guns to bear upon him, when he with drew without loss. They then proceeded to burn the De pot, but wsre so frightened that they did nothing more, and hardly stayed to see this well done. Every thing Is active and busy and excited. The pulse of the army Is up to heroic point. General Bragg rides through his columns of men from morning till night, cheer ing and encouraging. He ia met with enthusiasm.

THE YANKEES REPULSED AT SOUTH ANNA BXUDGS ARRIVAL FROM THE NORTH THE YANKEE COMMANDER WOUNDED AT GETTYSBURG. Richmond, July 5th, 1863. The Yankees attacked the guard at South Anna Bridge last evening, but were repulsed. No particulars have been received, but it ia known that our loss Is small. Between 2 and 3 o'clock this morning, a party of Tan kees, one hundred strong, went to Ashland and burned the Riqi Road buildings, destroyed the tank and tore up the track. No telegraphic communication since the raid. The Yankee flag of truce boat arrived at City Point last night, and reports that Gen. Meade was severely wounded in the battle at Gettysburg, and that four Federal Generals were killed. They alto say that it was a draws battle. 1 From the Richmond Enquirer, July 4th. T!e Dlx Movement.

Tbe marches were easy eitfht aud twelve m;l s a day. Uut little sickness was 'known, and what existed was caused principally by the careleesDCEB cf the individual soldier. The roads are geueraily good, but are being severely tested by our heavy trains ; that between Cham bersburg and Hagers town is in very bud condition. Those of the citizecs along tbe lice of march with whom cur informant conversed, expressed the great(st surprise at tbe number and appearance of our troops. They were under the impression, they said, that mcst of tbe Confederates had beea killed tff, and what few remaimd were almost shirtless. Tbey admitted, with expressions of gratitude, that they fared better in the presence of onr own toldiers than in that of the Yan kees. The merchaots who were compelled to sell goods at old pric s, for Confederate currency, were loudest in their grief. They were inconsolable, acd no effort was made by our boys to mitigate their sufferings. In Hagerstowa we received 175 recruits. The rjad between "Williamspcrt and Winchester was tbrougeii with convalescent soldiers cn the way to join their commands. It is uodei stood that General Lee has ordered back all such now on their way to the army. Our troops are anxious to get iu sight of the "Me- lish," but fear the opportunity will not be nffjrdcd them, so long as the St. Liwrence is pssaable More anxiety is feltfor the salety ot thoie left b.bicd than for their own.

The Jaws and usuages of civilized war, which utterly forbid the seizure of private property on land, permit private property to be eeized at sea. A ship belonging to private citizens is the law ful prize of a belligerent commodore ; but a belligerent Major General who takes possession of the silver spoons of a private citizen is simply a thief. The vessels which are burned at sea by tbe Alabama or the Tacony, those " chartered libertines " whom Mr. Welles makes free of the Atlantic, are th- property, by the laws of war, of those" who burn thtm, and would be so adju8ged to be by the courts if carried into a neutral port.

From the Correspondence of the Richmond Whig. From WlnchiSter. Winchester, Va., Jane 27ih, 18C3. Il is d.fiieuit to silt from the thousand reports that reach us, anything that can be taken as absolutely true. We give only such reports as we have every reason to believe are reliable. Our army certainly is all over the Potomac, and General Lee was certainly at Uagers town yesterday. Chambersburg, Pa , bai been held byGea. Rodee for some ten days. The militia there threw away thtir arms and fled upon the first approach of our cavahy. Some ten thousand stand ol small arms were captured there, with a large number of fat cattle, also a considerable cumber of stock catile have been driven through hue for pasture up the Valley. We also faw in one drove fire hundred horses taken from the Cumberland Valley. Some, two or thrca hun dred negroes were captured in acd near Chambersburg. From officers who have returntd from that ptace, we learu that the people there are very bitter against us, especially tbe women, who openly express tbe wish that nut a soldier may live to re-cross the river. We have the report this morning (which comes so direct that in ordinary times no one would question it,) that General Eweil certainly holds llarrisourg. The panic stricken miHtia haviDg fled at the first sound ol the shrieking shell a3 it burst over them. The statement of the officer, who professes to be direct from there, is that the people are very submissive, as many as three thousand having tome forward and asked to. be paroled, pledging themselves to give no information that might endanger our command. In Hagerstown, Maryland, and in t act, at all points over the river, Conlederate money is taken at 50 per cent, discount Large amounts of goods have been brought over by citizarjs and others. General McClellan is said to be in command of tbe Pennsylvania militia. Frederick City is said to beheld by Captain Harry Gillman and the cavalry uoder his command. The Maryland Heights above Harper's Ferry are said to be held by about five thousand Yan kees. We know not whether they will be molested or not, but should it be ti ue that General Lee, with such an army as he has, should penetrate to tbe very heart of Pennsylvania, all south of that line will very soon be given up. About ten thousand Yankeea are intrenching them selves at Letsburg, whilst Hooker is said to have cross ed into MarylaLd, at Edward's Ferry. No eDgageraeat between infantry has taken place at any point between Hooker and Lee's armies. Major Bridge fjrd, in com mand cf the Irish Battalion, ia in commaDd of thi3p03t.

We are glad to know that all of the books belonging to the Yankee Provost weref captured, and arc now in the hands of General Lee. fhey, wt think, will exhi bit tbe fact that but very few oi the citizens took " the oath." Many may have dene so from the Northern end of the county, in older to get to trade in town, bat we are convinced but few ol tte citizans will be found upon the black list. As an evidence of that fact, when notice was given some weeks since, that all business must be suspended, except by those who would come forward and take the oath, nearly every store aud shop in tbe town was cksed, eo that scarcely a citizen was engaged in any kind of business. Cut eff as we have been, too, for months and months at a time, allowance must be made for the poor, but the poor only, who may have been compelled to take the cath iu order to sus tain their families. A large portion of the town has been destroyed, and nearly ail the fencing arouna pri vate yards atd gardens. 1 am sorry to have to mention the death of John ston Orick, of Morgan couuty.
