THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. COFED2UATS STATES OP AMERICA. WILMINGTON, N. O., SATURDAY, AUG. 15, 1863. In?. Atlanta, Ga., Dally papers charge $3 a month, or at the rate of $38 per aunn-n. We let eoldiera have our pa per at $ 1 per month, while they and the puhlic in general can got it tee tha whole year at ten dollars. The Journal, taking everything into consideration ia the cheapest daily paper in the Confederate Stales. It is certainly the cheap est on the whole Soatherii seaboard. Cur week'y paper, with its fox ample pages filled and over-flowicg with care fully arranged matter, printed in close type, is ectoally cheaper than it was before the war, Ekce it contains more readiEg mailer in proportioa to the cmot-ct charged than it did when tie price wc.3 $2 0 instead of $1 ts it new ia.

In the meantime, howevvr. the Confid-rate army.uoder liee, now lying between the Rappahannock and the Rap;dan, may cot be content to r.miixi inactive. Its numbers are said to be at least equal to those of tl.e Army of ti e Potomac, and if such be really the c-as, Gen.

Tns EiiD A correspondent from Richlands, Onslow County, inf orm3 U3 that information has been received there direct from the Yankee lines, that the aforesaid Yankees are fitting op an expedition with threo hundred wagons es pecially for Eichlaads. The expedition is siid to bo about ready to Coat out from Newborn by way of Bmitk'a Mills. They must contemplate tho accuoiulat-oa of much plunder when they come cut with three hundred wcgona to carry it off in. Oar correspondent EGggcGia that tho points at which theso marauding expeditions can be best met and stopped are Smith'B Mills and Trenton, thcs3 being the two outlets through which the Yankees gain access to the interior. We confess that we ngrce with our correspondent in believing that theso raidi can to more effectually Btoppei when ihey first if sue out than they can be at any subsequent period. Thia of conrso ia a matter for the General commanding tho Department, and hia course must bo regulated by conside rations which it would nor be proper to make. Ken- must bny and ee!!, and, aa things stand and have al ways etood in all save the most primitive states of society, they must do moBt of jtheir buying and selling through the agency of others. Thus it i3 that the calling of tho mer chant or legitimate trader u a fair aPd honorable one, and in what we have to say we do not wish to be understood aa reflecting upon it, cr upon marchanta as a claE3. But anything may be abused, and the calling of tha mer chant or trader certainly is abased, when, instead of sup plying the wsnta and ministering to the necessities of the community he aggravates euch necessities and takes ad vantege of them for hia own aggrandisement. That this is done every day wo all know. We attended the auction sale ca Wednesday, for a verv AZ 3 ... exiuri, ucit'.aaa among oier imnfre we noticed that the crowd Oi traders and speculators who did most of the bid ding men who go from Dan to Bersheba and back again after the auction tales waa composed of the heartiest hialthiest, stoutest and most robust men we had seen for long tune. e could not scare up such Enother crowd in me county of ew Haacver. And yet the conscription of ficer could not tuuch them. They all had substitutes or something else. Their substitutes were probably either ueaa or run away iong ago, &at they were bidding and spec- au 111, iuuoujg uotning doing nothing to iE " t.-mo.io. iucnuy me snbsitute clause of w vvcriPuoa iaw was a great mislake-ajvery great mis take, and bo acknowledged, and that the greatest mistake was m , the atsoiute dicharge whIcL appears to have been TZ " e?T fcESQbBtitte- Over sixty thol tVT ""Vedotcne-ttirdofwhom we beueve did service, and this . .t i , ' - . crowd or mercenaries, over age take3 the place of sixty thousand m.r, - v':s not ttcecm.'iisLed without Leuvy loss,- ami apart from casual iic-2 of ba:tle, the discasi-3 incidental to the elimate mu t b-3 taken into account. These com bined causes have, c9 a mutter of cours simp'y re duced the number of cfJeetive men which Graot had at his disposal ; whilst the comparatively sm.ili force un der Bunks has been still further reduced by the return home of thi.se volunteer regiments vhes3 terra cf ser vice has expired. Notwithstanding, therefore, the tuc cesset! which have been achieved in the Southwest, it ia manifest that any further operations, especially at this Et-;:cacfthe year, would scarcely be consistent with that prudence Vvhiej coverts a sensible commander. It id true that we Lour that Mobile and Savannah cr? to be next points of attack ; but it n far mere likely that such troops as can bj spared will be sat to Meade in Virginia, and Gilmore before Charleston, whilst, perhaps, thee that were diavn from Itosecranz will be re'urcei to him. 'i he war en the lower Mississippi ia evidently over lor the present, and if Meade dotrS m;t ad vane?, and ia not attacked, popular interest will centre oa Charles ton, where Gilrcore is stmliv.g to overcome the man ifold d'fficnHies which beaet him on every side, end which are even now taxing hia engineering skill to the utmost.

More than thirty clays have elapsed since the Federa troops landed on Morris Island ; two assaul'3 upon Bat tery Warner have been mr.de. and both were repuhied with euch severe loss that correspondents inform us there will be no further attempt to carry that work by fctorm. To take it by siege is a slow and eifhapst:ng process at best. It is believed, however, that although B:.tt-tery Wagner may hold out lor a long time to core, and per haps indefinitely, that the heavy guns now being placed in position wiit be near enough to batter down Fort Sumter, and that Sumter once abandoned Charleston must fall. We doubt if th::3 result folic ws necessarily. The complaint new is, th.jt the monitors have been but of littla service, and that the capture cf Charleston is rccc?sarily dependent upon the success of operations on land. If this be true, and if it be also true that Gen, Gilmore has suSered a loss cf one third of his force, it is at Ienst a matter of doubt whether Charleston can b3 taken at a!l. Certain it is, this re sult can only be attained by a much larger army than is now under the command of Gen. Gilmore. vvmCi: V U :l tempt -i ih ;t i!.u;fi, may lo tne; pk.ee f J KmpCi t.r. have ad v i :ed Ot aiiL'ti'l'.!:'!!, i v.-it'j jalou-y any A mei ican at- z iSome o juusel'ors of the pri cla'm boldiy a policy :rvu:i h a Gove; nor-General to rule the Mejsio.;- h, just m Algeria is ra'ed by oppuetd to Mak-k flf.

The heavy cannonading "Wednesday n'ght was agam kept np vigorously on both sides untii near daylight Thursday morning. The fire of the enemy, which had been, directed principally towards Sumter in the eve ning, was changed to Fort Warner at a late hour, and became very rapid before morning. The fire from Fort Sumter Wednesday night, it h reported, had a most telling effect upon cne of the Yan kee batteries, and a large poi Lion of it is said to have been knocked away. Thursday morning matters remained tolerably quiet. Two wooden gunboats made their appearance and fired a tew shots at Fort Sumter, taking "care, however, to keep out cf range of the fort. About three o'clock in the afternoon four more wood en gunboats came up and took a position at long dis tances and opened oa Sumter. The latter made little or no response, scarcely deeming them worthy of no tice. In the evening the enemy's land battery at the foot cf Grain's lliil renewed its Crc ou Fort Sumter, cur batteries replying regularly. The Yankee fleet inside the Bar was increased yes terday and Inst night, consisting of six Monitors and the Ironsides, five mortar and ten ganboats, ten supply vessels, besides twelve or thirteen "bloekaders outsiders.

About 8 o'clock last evening the firing became more rapid, nnd continued heavy up to a late hour. The casualties 01 Battery Wagner, on Tuesday in the Gist Guard, Capt. Chichester, were two killed and four wounded, instead of one killed, as previously reported. Among the wounded severely, and brought to the city, was Sergt. Ca?per Un:'ug. He was struck in the thigh by a piece of shell while loading the gua. The Gist Guard luve snuered severely daring the siege, and with its gallant Capaia is entitled to honorable distinction.

The news of th? surrender of Mexico and of its oc cupation by the French troops has thrown the English press into a state ot astonishment which the Morning rest d:s not conceal. Lord Fahnemon's journal even evinces great embarrassment as to the applauding this fortunate event. Unable to deny its importance, it endeavors to question the good effects that are to be expected from it. Singular disposition oa the part of a ministerial journal 1 Strange attitude for tha- organ of an allied Government. But it mu3t be re collected that if the English Cabinet did coosent, nearly two years 32:0, to take part in the expedition to Mexico, it not only' disengaged :tself at Soledad, but even made common can.-?, for a time, with the Jaavez Govern ment, through the British Minister at Mexico. The surrender of the Mexican capital is, therefore, almost a defeat for Lord Palmerston's policy. Stiil, it would have been better for the Post to have dissimulated its regrets, for we are convinced that Lord Palmerston will not fail, if he Lave the opportunity, to applaud in the House of Commons the last success of cur expedi tion. The diplomacy of the Cabinet of St, James has .inexhaustible resources ; it kcow3 how to hold itself prepared for all events, and while the representative of England alone obtained the right of sojourning at Mex ico, to assist at the victories of Juarez, Lord Palmers ton, at London, left the door open for new negotiations, so that the Qaeen's Government might take ad?antage of the vtoriea of France.

That we, ms citizens and toldierB of North Carolina, have read with regret and indignation tho issues of the Rale gh "Standard," in which reconst uction aud submis eion were counselled, and gladly use this public means ol expressing our ucqua'ified opposition to such views, and pronouncing ihe same tit only to be uttered by a trailer and tory. 2. v e would earcefctly call upon our relations and friend at heme to use every effort to return to cur ranks thos-i of onr comrade, who, irom rnu-goided inllueuces, have desert ed their posts. . We know of no tnrer nsetbod of patting a stop to this most irjurious practice than that of a thorough expression if public opinion against tha same. 'a. Desiring peace, bu' willing to accept it only upoa the acknowledgment of oar national dependence, we cll upon our iriencs at home to give u cordial and hearty &np port to a vigorous prosecution of the war, being well satm tied that aEy mani estation of Inkewarrnness or desire for peace upon any other terms than the above will oniy en courage the enemy m the hose of our u'timate sabiu?aiion, and prolong indf fiai.ely the; war, which we detiro should be brought to a speedy aud honorable end. 4.

Resolced, That the meetirg appoint two delegates to meet in general Convention, to confer together as to the best means of subduing a spirit of disaffection at home, and promoting harmony of action, a unity of purpose, atid in securing the jast and precious reward of thoso who no bly and valiantly contend for their constitutional rights.
