THE. WILMINGTON JOURNAL. fOPRDRRATR STATES OF iMKRICAt W1LM1KGTOS. W. C. BATUBPAY. JUE 25, 1864. Sufpknsr is almost as painful as bad news itself.- T6V are fo u?ed ro tba rapid and frequent receipt of in t ii . f ooj the theatre of op; rations in Virginia, that &y iaurrapiicn of tbe corammcatioEi with tbe ujrcit" felt 88 a serious privation. We got no tele graph on Wednesday night from any quarter north ol na We bftilj look for any before eoiae to presa. We know hat ihe Pae.eburg and Weidon Riad has been strut-tr by a raidug party some terv miles this-side of Peters-bur;,, bat rave cot learned what amouat oldam ege h s been don1, or whether tfce depredations ot the enemy a.ec -rfi.ei tj th it bcility, or when communi caion w;H be restored. Of course the railroad travel being interrupted, the receipt of mails is a!so interrupt ed, and thus we have not got a Richmond or Peters burg paper of a later date than Monday. The mail and the telegraph fails at the same time. We must be pa tient. It is all the resource left us. For some time vre man look for these things to oc cur. Wci'c tbe enemy remairjs-in force within two miles of the Ri'rad, it will be practically im possible to guard the whole line sginst at tempts of h:8 kite1. The fact i3 that the position of toe eremite lined near Petersburg, throws their let t windr nenr tc Wddon than our right wing is, and as CJkavs pciicy baa bfen to move with his left in front, it woti'd epptar jbabfe that he is seeking to edge rou-d iu tbat w?y eo as to reach the Weidon road Soath of Petersburg and ia the rear of our army. It vjuld u'r'j apptar that Hunter's army, consisting of the combined forces of Avskill, Crook, and others wis deeigaed to take Lynchburg, come down on the D nvii'e Rjud, and so, co operating with Grant, cat o'T LfK'8 coTiuunicaticns with the South, and his sup pli -.. f.-t ti t' fci dircctiup, as well aa to intercept h:3 re trertt into Xcnh Uaro'ica. These are no vague or vio?eut speculations. Such a programme has been iik&ched by the Northern papers, DE' prtSjured ic sundry gfvings out by the Northern milirury uuthcri'ie , Grant himself included. Sigkl Etarted up the Valley in pursu nee of this plan, but wps thwarted by Brecki.n ridge. It wes thought be had received a cufScient dose of pommelling to keep him jmct fur while, and therefore, unfortunately, Brlckineidqe was wi'hliawo. It '"s no longer a ee cret, however, tbat Bkeckin ridge h?3 once more date his part towards punishing LIcntbr for his outrages in the Va.'hy, as he did Sigel before him, and that tbat part of the Yankee programme ia effectually defeated, and, we tiust, pcrni tacatly disarranged. We can speak oaly of tin; tj-etion cf tbe enemy from South western Virginia. What fate awaits him eleewtere on bis re'reat, remains- to be seen, as inde-.d, the line cf Lh retreat has yet to be developed, at least tai to be d-.veloped at the date cf the latest advice from lire ancy ci Virginia, vviu he go down tbe Va!l.y cf tlva Sheaa-doth, cr will he strike across the AMetauk?, and so into the Valley cf the Kerawira? We cannot Buy. But while Gram's fore s occupy, their present posi tion, our cemmun. cations with Richmond and Peters barg, and especiJly the latter city, must ba always ex posed to his Hpw, ar.d cannct be otherwise than pre carious. II is policy mibt point him to tlie impor tance of destroying the Roanoke bridges at Weidon, and the ambition cf some of his raiding chiefs might stimulate them to mike the attemrd, abb jtigh his greatest raiders and m-tin force of civtlry are with Siikrjdax cn the other eidi of the J.t'tj'.s. nnd, if r- ports epvz'.i trulb, are pretty well u?ed up by Gen Hampton- and hi3 bold riders.

Of course Mr. Bur owtk bad gene from here long before our day, and bis residence in Wilmington is to us simply a tradition which we give as it cornea to us. The last few jt&rs have made Bad havoc among the older citiz2ns ol this section ofthe State, and time hss beea doicg for tbe old what war has been doing for the joung. Dath has been busy with our people. Tee force of the enemy which bad cut the' Peters burg and Weidon Road at Reams' Depot was driven eff on Thursday ard the wires are probably up by this time. It is reported and believed that the whole j arty, numbering sixteen or f igbteeE hundred, with a baitery of artillery, was .captored, which would bi lick." gocd TesHi is in reality no news from Johnston's army now in front of Marietta, Ga. Our lines, within the last fev? days, have beea slightly drawn back in some parts so as to render exposed positions more secure, but with tbi3 exceptioa, there is no change in the " situation " of the opposing armies. It would appear, from ac counts variously received, that Sherman has been re ceiving heavy reinforcements, though from what quar ter wc lave not been able to aecsrtain. It would also appear that besides reinforcements Shebman has been getting together munitions of war and commissary stcres preparatory to a decided advance, and tbat euc-h advance may be looked for at a very early day. What Johnston's plana are we are totally unable to say. We may fairly premie?, however, that he will not assume the initiative. We think that circumstances render it apparent that he acta upon a plan concerted with the authorities controlling the campaign in Virginia, and that his movements, so far as they depend upon them selves, go along with, or rather follow those cf Lee's army. We have been recently shown a letter from a brave North Carolina boy literally a boy in years, who has, however, been serving in a Texas regiment, and has gene through most of tbe battles of tbe late campaign in Louisiana and Arkansas. It confirms most of the details we have received from that section, including the punishment inflicted upon Banks and Steele, but not the capture of either of these commanders. We are glad to learn from this letter tbat the prospects for crcp3 c f all kinds in the ltans-Missidsippi country are remarkably fine never were better, and the spirit cf tbe people is high, hopeful and uncompromising.

Daily Journal, 2llh inst. A Woicl for Mr. Mtmmlnger. We take the foilowing from the Richmond Enquirer of Monday. We have no doubt there ia a good deal ot truth iu it. Tne amount of praise or blame really at taching to Mr. Memmingkr ii necessarily small, as Le could do no more than carry out the legislation of Congress, for which he can hardly be held responsible, or if responsible at a!), only so in a very Elight degree, since Congress seldom or never acted upon his recom icedations : Whatever new Heasthis war may have developed in mil itary science, the history of paper money has not been in tec least altered by the experience of the Confederacy. The same results have been demonstrated by the c onfederacy that attended onr Etvolutionary fathers if not to the same extent, yet to as great degree, if time and circumstance are considered. Confederate notes, continental currency, and French aasigna's, have ail the same history, because t. nuance by the same general causes, and whenever and wherever the&e causes operate they will produoe the same effects. 1 he resignation of Mr. Memminjer, Secretary of the Treasury, will not in the least modify or improve these re salts. A he did not produce thatn, so his resignation will tot ia ptove them. Ko succs?or that he cau have Will burg to the public Be vice more untiring exer.ion, more zeM ud devotion, or greater ability in the use of the m -ana provided him by the Congress. The substantial v. ealth of the country baa not been unpaired by tlie cur rency, n r exhausted by any action of the Treasury De peruent ; but as tie Illicit gains of heartless extortion and immoral specm&tion melted away, it was to be expected thai unmerited centure and undeserved obLqay would be leveled at the ostenbible cause of all tbe loss. The Congress made theaoiea, the Congress increased tbe notes, and the Congress fsiled to provide for tbeir re duction or redemption. Wi hout taxation to return the notes to the treasury, and without other currency to sup port and maintain the war, it was impossible for the amount of nqtes not to increase, and just as equally im possiole to prevent their depreciation uiu the c jnse quant ri, cf prices. 11 this was tbe work or the Congress and not of sir. Memminger ; and whatever nny be taid of the recommendation of the becreUry, as they were never rr gi.dod or adop.ed by the Congress, he should not be held accountable tor tb rulta ot legislation that be d;d not leommend, and which ha was obliged to execute. A people disappointed ia their expectations, are not likely to I do justice; but when tho ooolfr head of tbe historian comes to chronicle - ho flnaneial bistorj of this war, the honest eeal. the Mithf.il Unor and devotion to tbe canie shown by Hr.

Tue English park is ois of those things peculiarly English, which are to be seen nowhere else on ear h but in England ; at least e venture to say, tbat there is nothing at all like it ic three out cf the four quar tets ol this our globe ; tie wide, grassy slopes, the groupu of majestic trees, the dim fLnking3 of forest grcund, broken with -savannas, and crossed by many a path and many a walk, the occasional rivulet or piece of water, the resting place, the alcove, the ruin of the old mansion, where our fatheia dwelt, now lapsed into tbe domain of Time, but careiully guarded f om any hands but his. with here and there some slope of tbe ground, or some turn tf the patb, bringing ua sudden ly upon a bright aud unexpected prospect of a distant landscape iar beyond" all nature, and alt art."

U'mac hnd already commenced m ru ting for the five regimerts'known Bubaequrtly asUlmin's Brigade. These eieht regiments were made. the nucleus of the new corps and durir g the summer and au'umu of 1863, through . the cLanntls opened by the progress of the campaign, there were men enough enlisted to swell the number of regiments to about twenty five, ard General George L. Andrews was placed in command oi the corps. But, unfortunately, it was found tbat tbe ohy sical qualifications of ihe negroes were not equal to the hardships of drill and fatigue duty, many of them hav ing in them tbe seeds cf old and surely fatal diseases, brought on by the vicious habits of plantation life, and many others being as jet young and immature in body, 8nd mat bed by hereditary taints. It ia surprising to one una'qua ned with the Bubject to contemplate the terrible rate of mortality, and to learn bow many have lung and heart disfas? s, or are broken down by rheu matic affections, overwork and ill usage. Thousands died, were discharged for disability, or deserted. The regiments dwindled down from five hundred to two hun dred or three hundred ; recruiting waa stopped by an oHer froo Gen Banks, which contemplated the reten tion of as many able bodied blacks a3 possible on the Government plantations : officers txgan to grow dis couraged ; resignations became thetrder of the day ; disappointment on the pay questions demoraliz3d tbe men.. All these causes combined to have an unfavora ble effect on the corps. When the campaign commenced this season four regiments were ordered to the field. To fill them up to six hundred men each, it was necessary to transfer men from three or four other regiments, leaving to each company io the latter only its officers and ten men. Then came tbe action of the War Department, chang ing the regimental numbers and designations to Uni ted States infantry, artillery, &c, ana requiring a maximum of one. thousand. Very little remains of the original corps, save in tbe regiment recollections of its past officers and the formidable fortifications its rrjen have erected here ein ce tbe eurrender of Port Hudson. General Andtew has gone North on leave, Geo. UUi man suceeding to tbe command, and a lull aud careful inspection of all the works and forces last week by Gen. T. W. Sherman (who lost a leg in tbe siege of Port Hudson) has given rise to a rumor cf a further change of commanders. Wbat the future of tbe corps will be depends now upon the question of expediency ; will tbe possible interests or necessities of oar standing army warrant the enormous expense of organizing and drill ing colored troops and bringing them up to the stan dard of white troops ? As the resources of the South, agriculturally, are called out, the demand tor labor of acclimated blacks will increase ; if ihe available num ber is diminished by the requirements of a large army there will be an inereafed opposition to maintaining i 1 i i i . - - n 3 T 4 -i -.A oiacn regiments, ine question is oi imuieuiic &uu great importance. To nil up tbe bhek regiments in tbls department a'one would require tw nty thousand new recruits, and the relative mortality of white and black troops seems to indicate that it would bs better to let tbe present black orerauiz ttion die i ut. and supply their places, if the necessity continued, from the army of foreigners now seeki' r oar sbores. Besides th:s reason there 13 another tLtering ;mo consideration of the subject, namely the grfater cost of maintaining colored troops. Thev are uodenia'siv luie. lazy, unproductive ana waaie ful.

HCW WAS TO HAVi OPPKKATED ON M CLILLAN 's OLD GRuUAO. It is very amusina to read exfracts from the arniy correspond nee of -he IMcw loik papeis, explaining the fliuk movement of Grant. An extract fnnia ltter to 'ha N. Y limes, written on Tueday before the terribie rputse of Friday, Jane 1st, has the follow mg etr getical explanation : 1 he present position of this army is tbe result of that fine turning movement, which, commencing oa Ihurs day last, in two days planted our corps acros3 thn Pamuokey river, rendered useless the elabo rate rebel tefences ofthe south Anna, and secured us communi cation with York river, tbe Oheeepeake, and the ample resources which these waters float . Of this movement I have pent you auch reports as it has been possible to send with tuch ur frequent opportunity 8 of coiimunica ticn as are afforded I fear, however, tLat no n porta which yen c m have received ere at all adequate, to set forth the true presentation of this great operation in strategy Your readers would require better maps tban can poesibly ba accessibl tc them, tmd would need to bring th. m to an amount ot study ot which ycu are capable in order to errasp its relations acd its reality, .hvjough that it has planted tlis army twelve miles nearer R ch- mond, that it bos foiled tbe plans and purposes ot tbe wily enemy, and has brought us to easy communica tion with a secure and perfect bse. 1 must not, hjw- ev.r, forbear to tmpbasze OLe point. It appears to be conceived tjat this movement is understood to be a following up tf the enemy, who is supposed to have 'alien back from bis hues between the North and Sou'.h Anna a conception which does injustice to the generalship ot our commander. It was not Lee but Grant that took the initiative Lee would gladly have remained in bis lines along the South Anna, and. would willingly have awaits battle there, but he waa turned out of his cherished position, just as ne was compelled to evacuate 'he lines of opott sylvania, by an offensive movement threatening his communications a movement bo!d in conception ar d masterly in execution. " There are," sajs the Arch duke Charles, 44 battles which are already won by tbe mere direction ot tbe strategic line of advance." In a like sense it cau be fairly claimed tbe.t by a couple of days' matching this army has gained a victory more Eubstantial than a week's hard pounding could in tbe situation we have won : and that we-are entitled so to regard this great flank movement is confirmed by the tone of mingled mortification and braggadocia in which the Richmond press treats it. list of casualties I In the 27th N.
