Corp-r, AOjulant and Inspector General: jK.';eral : In advance of a detailed repcrt, I have the houor to suhnjit, for the informatiou of tue department, the io !o i: g out in j or ti e recent operations of this army : Wiih the design of bringing oa an engaemeat with the Federal army, which was eucamped around CulDener Court House, extci:i g th-rce to the Rapidaa, this army crossed tliAt rivr ou the 'Jib iust., and advanced by way of Madi soa Court Bouse. Oar progress was necessarily slow, a thy niaich was by circuitous and concealed roads, in order to avoid the ob.-e.vation of the enemy. G -ntrai Fi z Lee with hia cavalr3r division and a d?tach m:i t of infantry, remained to told our lines South of the Rap:dj.n; Uvur;.!

We were Coiupe.lod to halt daritg the rest of the day to provision the troops, but the cavawy, under Gen. Stuart, continued to pitss the enemy 's rear mirJ towards the Rappahin ncck. A ia:gc loce oi" Federal cavalry, iu the meantime, had crossed tiie ilapidiin, -.iter cur muvement begun, but was tepulsyd by (icn. l itz Lee, and pursued towards Bran dy Station. Near that lase ;hi co u candi of Stuart at-d Lae united, o:i li.e attetnoou oi the Uih,and after a severe engagement, drove :he e..t 1;: 'a Oiv.ilry arross the Rappahauuoc k, with heuv) loss. On iu liiOiniiig of t'ie 12th, tho army mirched iu two culun.i..:. wi.h t;e u-sign ol reaching tho Orargfj and Alex ixtidria railroad, nurta ot ihe rivor, and iuterrutiug the re treat ol tho e:;emy. Attcr a ski:msth wirh some of the Federal cavalry at JefleiBuaton, vo rv.-s.cLed the Rappahannock At Warrenton Springs, iu tLe atici'LOon, w h jie the passage of the river was ojipuied cy raivthjr and ariilteiy. 'ihe enciay was quickly d. ivoii oil" by a dcichmei-t of cur cavairy, aided by a small furcc cl iiifautry and a battery. Early iicx: morn ing, loth, the march wa le-sanied, and the two columnsre Hi.t:c J at Warrentu, in the aherucoa, whsa auother halt was li.aiis to tupply thi trjop with provisions. The ene my fvll back lapidly aiorg the line of the railroad, acd early o.i the 1t h t!:0 j ursuit was continued, a portion of the ar my mov ng by vi-y of New ilaltimore, towards BriatSw Sta tion, and i:ie rv tt, accompanied by the main body of the cavalry, procsei- g to the sme po.nt by Auburn Mibs and Greenwich. N jar V. e former pis.ee a tkirmish took place between General Swell's advance ani the rear guard of the enemy, Whica. was forced back and tapidly pursutd. Ihd iotrcdt oi the enemy wai eonaucted by several di rect paraitt-l rouus, while cur troops were compelled to march by d:fijculi and c:rou:tcus routes. Ve were conse quently uny'ola to intercept h.m. General Bill arrived first at Briatow Station, whet e his advance, consisting ot two brigades, became ecgasjed with a force largely superior in numbers, pusttd beaid t. e rail road emoankcaent. The particulc-.rs o: tha action hve not been officially reported, but th? brgidos weia rcpuissd with some loss, and five pieces ot ait ilery, w.ih a cumber ot prisoners, captured. Betore the rest ot ih: troops could be brought up, atd the position ol the er.iny nsceit.iiced, he retreated across Broad 1'ua. Tue nt. : m;.-ijg he was reported to be for titing beyond Bu.l Run, extending hii line towards the Little rtivtr Tu np:ke. ILc v.ciaity of the oitreEChmecta around Wathington and Alexandra, rcnd-ied it useless to turn hia new position, as it was aj parent iha.t iu could readily retire to tbem,acd would deciae aa engKtment unless attacked in hia forti fications. A iurther advaLce was therefore deemed unne cessary, tna ui.er destroying tho rad road from Cub Run southwardly to tho Rappahannock, the army returned on the lslh, to ihj i-ii ol tlat river, leavirg the cavalry in the enemy's front. The cavalry cf the latter tdvacced on the following day, and some ekirmishiuir occurred at Buckiand. General buitrt, with Hampton's divibL-'U, retired slowly towaidsl tLiu espoamg Lis liick and rear to Geu. Lee, wio moved from Auburu ad attacked him near Buckiand. Aa soon as General fataart h?ard tie soui.d of Lee's guns, he turned upon the enemy, who, after a stubborn resistance, broke and rJ id in contusion, partued by Geper&l Stuart nearly to Ilaymaiket, and by General Lee to Gainesville. Here the Fcocrai iatuairy wus enccuatered, and, after capturiug a numosr ct Lem daring th3 night, the cavalry slowly ro tired btf are their advance oa the following day. Whaa the movement of the army from the Hapidan commenced, Gen. Imbodun was instructed to advance down the Valley, and guard the gaps of the mountains ou our left. This duty was well perlcrmed by that effioer, and on the 13th instant he inaiciied uDon Charlestown, and succeeded, by a well concerted plan, ia surrounding the place and capturing nearly the whole force stationed there, with all their store and transportation ; only a few escaped to Harper'a Ferry. The e."emy advanced irom that place in superior t ambers to atta.k Gen. lmboden, who retired, bringing off hia pri soneis and captured properly, his command Bufleriog very iitiia ices, aud infl cting soma damage upon the pursuing column, in tha course cf these operations two thousand four hundred and thirty-six prisoners were captured, ia cludiug for:y-o:ie cominifisioned officers.

General : Aife- oiijring seme considerable resistance to the advance of the enemy at this point yesterday, in accor dance with tha ui;rC3tions of M;ijor Gen. Lee, I retired with Hampton's division slowly before the enemy, oatil within two miles and a half of Warrenton, in oraer that Major Gen. Lee, coming from Auburn nrgbt hive aa op portunity to attack the" enemy ia llank and rear. The plan proved successful. The enaruy followed slowly and cauti ously after Hampton's division, when, on hearing Major Gen. Lee's guns on their tlink, I pressed upon them vigor ously in front.. They .at firBt resisted my attack stubbornly, but once broken, the rout was complete. I pursued them from within three miles of Warrenton to Buckiand, the horses at full speed the whole distance, the enemy retreat ing in great confusion. Major Gen. Lee had attacked them in flank just below Buckiand. We captured about two hundred prisoners, eight wagons and ambulances, arms, horses and equip ments. The rout was the most complete that any cavalry has frver suffered durinjc this war. Crossing at Buckiand, General Fitz Lee pushed down the pike towards Gainesville, whi'e I, with the few men f Got don's a"d Rosser's brigades who could be collected af ter our unusually long chase, moved around to our lelt, and pressed down towarda-Hay market. Here I encountered, besides a la-pe cavalry force, the first army corps, whore tired a short distance beyond Hayrrarket, on the Carolina road. I attacked their infantry pickets by moonlight, and scattered them over the fialda, capturing many.

To my dtmand for a surrender, Col. Simpson requested as hoar f r consid?ratiou. I offered him five minutes, to which he replied, '-Take me, if you can."

The ZLnglUb Cotlvii Trad Glaamy Frop?ct. The following interesting and important article is from a recent numocr of the Loffdon Times : WMle Lancashire seems to be csriluitinj? between reviving trade and returning famine, and while pub lic ia scanning with deep aDxiety at tbe prospects o: the ensuing winter, we can placa betore tbe country an exact and particular account oi the prcgr-jaa made dux lag the last two years to that consummation which is to render cotton famines impossible for the fu'ure. li is known that we have proclaimed oar necessities to the whoie world, and have sounded our demands for cotton in every quarter of the globe. In all our own colonies the production and exDort of this urecious materia have oeen encouraged by authoritv : ir- all foreign Darts we have applied the Btimuloua of high price3to increase the supply. This extraordinary demand has now bten maintained lor at least two ears ; indeed, the Amen can blockade has actually existed longer than that, aud could have been anticipated with certaiuty for some time Deiore. Although, therefore, it must be remem bered that cotton planting is not an industry to be matured in a mouth or two, we might reasocably the results now ascertained with some liveliness of expecca tioc. With the whole world for s.-lle s, and England for a buyer, the market ought to show some promisiu. feature. To a certain extent, indeed this confidence wocld be jastified ; but we doubt whetner the predomi nant feeling will not be one of disappointment. We shall present the truth to the public by stating the exact figures of our whole cott (JU import fr the first six months of thepres nt and two preoeuiug years. In 1861 the American supply had, for the two quit ters io question, been but partially affected. The block ade was in force towurds the latter part ot the period, but then the exporfs had been pushed eagerly lorward in the beginning of tbe year under conviction of the crisis impending. In th09e six months, then, comuitn c ng with January and ending with Jane, 18G1, the raw cotton imported into the LTuited Kingdom reaehtd tae amount of C.857,So7 cwr. Of these o,bi-i,4Jo came from the United Stutes oi America lea ing 983 422 to be Bipplicd from other quariers. Of this re maioder, again, Iudia sent 095,542, so that only 258- 380 had to be earned to ; the account ol the world at large. The balance, to .can be reduced still further. As Egypt contributed 20o;91o cwt., and 13-fczd 52,52a, making together 258.480 it follows that the mhcella neoua or scattered imports from all parts of the world, except those named, produced but a total of 29,400. lhis analysis of the account before us will supply eome very convenient standards for comparison. Iu. contrast ing the years 18C2 and 18C3 tuecesaively with 18G1, we have only to look farst to the total imports, next to those from America, then to those from Iudia, then to those from Brazil and Egypt, aud finally to the balance remaining, which will show what has. been done fur us by tbe world in general. In 1862 the total drops down from nearly 7,000,000, as just stated, to little more than a million and a hall in fact, lrom 6.857.857 to 1,052,733. I he declice in the American contribution explains this at once, being nothing less ttan a fall from 5.874,435 to 37,288. However, this was simply what was to be expected ; let us see how far and from what quarters the deficien cy has been met India, instead of sending 635,832 cwt., sent us 1,001,52 4 ; and .Brazil and Egvpt togeth er, instead of sending 258,480, sent 471,764. Ol the whole balance, therefore, of 1,015,445 cwt. remaining to be made up from other than American sources, .the miscellaneous pans of the world contributed but 142,- 254 even iu 1602 ladia, Egypt aad Brazil providing all the rest. This year the account exhibits similar fea tures. The total imports have increased to an almust nominal amount 6.S76. I he world, therefore, has up wards of 2,000,000 cwt. to supply, and of these India mrnishes 1,204,76J, acd Brazil acd Egypt between them, 565,778. It results that cur miscellaneous sup- pliei amount in the aggregate to 257,373. We consider this somewhat discouraging, because it shows how little at present the whole world 6taods for. It is not that the miscellaneous contributions have not actually increased, for they have in fact beea multiplied above tenfold rising from less than 30,000 to upwards of 300,000 Bat the thing comes to nothing when it i3 done. The whole sweep of our great drag net does not bring in as much as we get from the single land ol Egypt ; and this is the more remarkable from the as tonishing extent of the area included. It seems per fectly true that cotton will grow anywhere. Even in 1861, when our reliance was still upon America, we imported the material from as many as thirty different countries. The next year eleven new sources were ad ded, and sixteen more the year after that. At this minute we import raw cotton from six different quar ters, and yet, after all, our gross supply is scarcely swelled by this multitude of contributions. It is still upoa one of two chief sources that we depend. If any thing were to interfere with the Indian or Egyptian exports, we should have another fall. The " sc Lter- ings " go for next to nothing. Nor do we see any indication of material change The increase in the Indian export has been considera ble and steady, no doubt, but not large enongh tr put us at our ease. Bombay, the chief source of this supply, has rather fallen off this year. Its exports rote irom 656,691 cwt., in 1861, to 847,480 in 18C2, but declin ed to 864,200 in 1863. Oh the other hand, Bengal has sprang up from some 5000 to more than 150,000, and Singapore nov firBt appears aa an humble contributor. we observe, too, that China, which sent nothing m 1861, and only 113 Cwt, in 1862, has sent us 110,409 cwt., in the first six months of the present year. But mere are certain items in me account wmcn require a good deal of explanation. The exports from the Baha mas, represent, of conrse, not home produce, bat cotton which had lound its way to those parts from the Con federate States, and othtr contributions probably par take of the same character. Still it is clear that we get but driblets of this supply. The blockade of the South ern ports is effective ; the cotton is kept at home ; and Laneasbirw, notwithstanding all our ellorts, 13 pro.-trat in consequence. We do not pretend to say that any evidence at th;s early period of the experiment can be considered con clusive. Jrossibly auother year my yield a very differ ent return, but we do not well see where to lock for the improvement. It must be a work of tim?, and the question id whether even time will do it, for it is price, after all, which will determine the result. Will India cr Egypt, of any other couutry, or ail countries to gether, sjnd ua not only sufficient cotton, but cotton at 6a per pound : it so,- then tne trade cf Lancashire will revive ngain ; but it the raw material is only to be bought at twice that figure, tben we can never find customers for our mnuu- factmai articles as before. We nave h:tntrto been underselling the whole world io cotton stuffs, so that our goods found purchasers in every quarter of tbe globe, and thus our great cotton trade was created, lt has been suspended because cotton became dear, and it can uever be resumed until eottou becomes eticap. W e have fair stores of the material still, but our manufac turers are afraid to work it up at the present price. Tnat ia the history of the case, and we fear its aspect b not much improved by the returns before us. Even dear cotton does not reach ua except in driblets, where as it is only cheap cotton in abundance that will set the mills of Lancashire to work again. Etkrt Max to Make hi3 own Ice. All Paris is rejoicing in a recent discovery of a method of manu facturing ice in a speedy and Bimple manner, and at a small expense. The machine is styled Le glactere a eseale. From a drawing and description now tefore us we gather the following : A cylinder of metal tia will answer with a move able cover at one end, to be kept tightly in its place ly a screw whsn shut, with two openings, one at each end, to receive through two tinned tbe materials used; and a discharge cock ait one end to discharge the contents when the cylinder is to be emptied, is all the apparatus required. This cylinder, when properly charged, is placed on a pair ot rockers, so that a eee-saw motion may be obtained. To convert five hundred French grammes of water into ice (each gramme being nearly 17 grains avoirdupois) it is necessary only to place in this cylindet or well 13 hundred grammes of soiphat of scda, and eight hundred grammes of hydrochloride or muriatic acid. Into this preparation or b2th, says the inventor, plicea form or Vessel containing the water to be frozen, a bottle of champaigne to be frapped, or any other vessel required to frozen. Close the cover, screw it fast, and then for seven or eight minutes give the cylinder or well a see saw motion on its cradle, and you obtain the desired result. A solid block of ice of five hundred grammes may be produced by this opera tion. All Paris has been running to see the machines of the P.ae de Parbe, Sec. No. CO, where its effects are publicly exhibited. These machines are rapidly sold ot from fifty francs to one hundred and twenty, according 10 me Bize. a. late numoer tn iue pictorial paper, V Illustration, gives a drawing and a description socientlj intelligible to enable aoy of our metal workers 1o manurac'ure tLetii.

Hill's division com manders direct, mounted his horse and with his staff rode to the front. This is the upshot of the matter just as it transpired. Some persons blame Gen. Polk for failing to arrest Gen. Hill at once. Suppose he had done so what tbet? Might not the plans of the day been disarranged far beyond any benefits to be derived from the arrest of a commanding oflicer at such a time? Both Gener Js were of the same grade, and it is ques tionable whether such a step might not have been considered lyranicai, arbitrary, and unnecssary. At ail events it could have done no good; and might have done huim. About thirty miles above Wilmington, North Caro lina, lived three fellows, named respectively Barham. Stone, and Gray, on the backs of the North East Riv er. They ceme to Wilmington in a email row boat, and made fast to the wharf. They had a time of it in tbe city, but for fear they would be dry before getting home, they procured a jug of whiskey, and after dark of a black night too, they embarked in tbeir tuat, expect iag to reach home in the morning. Taey rowed away with all the energy that three half tipsy fellows could muster, keeping up their spirits in the darkness by pouring the spirits down. At break of day they thought they must be near home, and seeing through tbe im gray of tee morning a house on the river side, Stone said : "Well, Barbara, we've got to your place at last." "If this is my home," said Barbara, "somebody Las been putting up a lot of outhouses since I went away yesterday; but I'll go ashore and look about, and see where we are, if you'il hold her to." Barnaul diseaibai ks, tikes observation and soon comes stumbling along back, and says : "Well IM be whipped if we'aint at Wilmington here yet, and what's more the b.-at has been hitchod ou Vj the wharf all night!" It was a fact, and the drunken dog3 had been rowing away for de& life without knowing it. Gen. Morgan. Tie Montgomery Daily Adveitistr publishes the life ani military achk vemrnts of the renowned Gen. John H. Morgan, now a prisoner, with head shaved, and pie bald garments, in the Penitentiary of Ohio. An extract from the artfcli in question, which we subjoin, recapitu lates all the grand exploits of this Southern Paladin. No man oi bis day has accomplished more if bo much, and the summing ud shows an array of glorious deeds mat were never surpassed in number and brilliancy. The writer says : "Morgan's career may be summed up with truth as follows : He has fought sixty-three battles and has been successful in fifty-seven ; took oO.OGO trisoners. killed 20 000, and destroyed $50 000,000 worth of prop erty, taken 50.000 stand of small arms, and fifty pie ces of artillery, 20,000 horses and travelkd 12,000 miles." These figures surpass anything in the annals of histo ry, aud be has not had with him at any time over 5,000 meu for du!y. From the Columbia South Carol iaian. The JF1nan.ee of Vrae. Wfcea tho over emission of the asaignata, the paper money cf the French republic had become apparent to every oue. W hen the eflor:s of the convention to ar rest their unavoidable depreciation by icgal enactments had proved utterly futile, and when, in fine, the pro gressive forced loan had been resorted to, and had in curred universal reprobation, then it was that the Min ister of the Finances applied the magic wand of taxa tion to the dead body of credit and bid it stand erect. He havicg proposed, in lieu of ths forced loan, a war sapply, consisting of an addition of 25 per cent, to the principal of the land tax, the tax on movable property and the personal tax, the Minister having simultaneousl) adopted the ingenious sjsttm ot the bills ot the receivers general. These receivers, the real bankers of the treasury under its administration, were tp give bills fal ing due at stated periods for tbe total amouut of the direct taxea i hese Dills when due were paid without aelay by the receiver general, aa the treasury bad bills, of exchange upon them at a fixed date, which they were obliged to pay upon pain of their being protested. By these mean?, ou the first day of the year there was placed at the disposal of the treasury the whole amount of tbe direct taxes, in bills ot exchange, to assure the curren cy of which the caisse d' amoitissement sickiDg fund was devised. Thia institution exacied of tbe receivers a security in money. These securities, paid into the caisse d' amoitissement , were intended to serve aa a guarantee to the bills. Every bill when due was to be paid either at the office cf the receiver-seneral, or, in default, at that of tbe caisse d' amoitissement, which was to discharge it on presentation. The bill in this way was regarded in tbe light of first class commercial paper, and, cf course, was current throughout the whole realm. Such wa3 the system of collection and payment, wWich, originating in a period of gieat fiscal embarrassment, gradually ltd to tbe Organization at present established in t rrnce Iu the absence of the duty on tonage, the import and exports, onr Confederacy might derive much bene fit from a recourse to some such system as the above, but the difficulty in the way arises from the fact that a direct tax cannot be constitutionally laid on property until the census shall have nrst beea taken, aud it is impossible, or nearly so, to have the census taken dur ing the war. 1 et everybody says tbat something must be done, knowing full well that the Dext CoDgress will be as powerless as the last was to violate the Constitu tion in this respect. lt is true that some very valuable suggestions have been made with a view to the absorption of the curren cy, but thus tar no thorough remedial measure at all commensurate either with tbe r sources of the country, or adequate to the exigencies of the times, (except that of the voluntary subscription loans to tbe Govern ment,) has been proposed which is not equally subject to the constitutional objection, on the ecore of its be- j ing a property tax as the one herein above alluded to Inis task devolves upon the next Congress.

The Nashville Daily Journal, publishes t he following epistle from " Parson" Brownlow : As some rtltictious are cast upon Gen. Burneide lor not having reinforced Gen. Rosecrans, I he g leave, ia vindication of the gallant Burnside, to state a few facts not known to men who are ignorant of the geography of the country. I claim to know the countr? occapied by both armies. I traveled through N orth t Georgia as early as 1829, and lodged with the Cherokee before the whites occupied the country, and before there were good roads of any kind. I have been travel liner over that section of East Tennessee ever since, in every con ceivable way, and therefore it is that I know the coun try. First, lt 13 110 miles from Knoxville to Chattanoo ga, ar:d it is about 45 miles from Chattanooga to Ia- layette, (in the neighborhood where the fighting began,) still further South. Buckner in retreating from Knox ville, burned the bridges behind him, rendering it im possible for Gen. Burwside to reinforce General Rose crans with any speed ; besides General Burnside had to keep an eye to the East, where in twenty-four hours an army of 20,000 men could be poured down uwra him from Lynchburg on the great Virginia and 1 'en nessee Railroad, in full possession of the rebels. The country in North Georgia is rather a level coun try, .with hills and ridges springing up at intervals, at id separating one valley lroru another. The streams ai e sluggish and the banks unusually high. The country is thickly timbered, with a heavy undergrowth, making it rather impassable 'or the operations of a large army. For my part, I have every confidence in our ultimate success. Let Rosecrans be reinforced, and he will whip the whole Confederacy. Tha mediation I advo cate is that of the cannon and the sword ;aud let there be no armistice, on sea or land, until all the rebels, front and rear, North and South, are subjugated or ex terminated. And then Jet condign punishment speedily meeted out to the surviving leaders in this un holy crusade against civilization. My motto is Greek fire for the masses and hell-fire for the leaders. And none but the loyal should be consulted iulhe gieat cast ing up ol these accounts. W. G. Bkownlow. Yanker Monet. The Secretary of War, Hon. James A. Seddon, has given Gen.
