Atlanta, July 2d, 1864. Tho LouisviVe Journal of the 26th nit. haa been receiv ed. The news has been mostly anticipated. Guerrilla operations continue ia Western Kentucky. A fight with the Federal troops bad occurred near Union, Tenn. Another paity bad demanded the sutreader of Osveusboro', bnt retired uf:er occupying Cloverport and Haweaville. The six months' ir-en at Owensboro' Lavo been disband ed by the State authorities, fro"n reasons unknown. The Washington Rtar, of the 24th nit., says that the Yau kee works command Petersburg and the Railroad through Petersburg, and stop all continuous communication be Richmond and the Houth so lone as Grant elects. He can hold the enemy by the throat aud move South with tenty days rations. Lse muai follow, or risk a heavy engage- meet on unfortified ground. Secretary Dasa has arrived from headquarters, anl says that the entire Federal loss ia not over ten thousand. Tha Star's Chattanooga correspondence, under date of June 20th, says that a rebel force cuS the railroad above Tiltoa and captured and burned two trains heavily freight ed with Bapplies. Travel on the trains is very dangerous in consequence of the frequent ambushes, and ihe corres pondent aya thit he haa known four hundred men to be captured by one hundred. A large quantity of government freight is collected at Harpeth Shoals, on the Cumberland river. No more boats are allowed to ascend the Cumberland, the government be ing unable to furnish convovs against the guerrillas. Tha Sandusky Register of the 23 J states that the rebel Geieral Archer haa been transferred from Johnson'a Island I) Washington, and will be eent to Gen. Foster to ba placed under tbe rebel fi-e in retaliation for the treatment of the Union General at Charleston. In a debate in the Yankre House of Representatives, on the 25th, on the repeat of the cornmutsaoa clause in the draft law, Mr. Schecck, tf Ohio, supported the clause, and said that the rebellion must be pt down, it not now, hereafier ; if nut in ten years then in twenty years.

About half-past 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon there w&3 launched from the iron and steel ship-building yard of Messrs. Jones, Qaiggin & Co., in Sefton street, a fcplecdid paddle steam Bliip, constructed of Eteel, which has been built for Messrs. Fraser, Xrenholm fc Co., and is intended for the American and Nassau trade. This vessel, which has beu built for fust Bailing, com bined with large carrym? capacity, is a beautiful mod- tl, and fully sustains the high reputation of the firm by whom she haa been built. She is the largest Bteel mer chant ehip which has ever been sent eff the stocks, be ing upwards of 1,800 tots burthen. Her lerjgth ia 281 feet, breadth ot beam 36 feet, depth of holi be tween 16 and 17-feet, an J sha will draw about eight feet water when loaded. Uer engines, which w:-U be supplied by Messrs. Jack & Co., ot the Victoria Fouc- dry, bandon Dock, are ot ooO nominal horse power, with four boilers. She has a cabin and a lengbouse on deck, for the accommodation of her captain and crew, all tberestof htr interior epac?, with the exception of that taken up by the engines, btmg sot apart for cargo. 'Ihere was a large number of ladies ncd ceatlemeu present to witness the launch. The vessel was giily decorated for the occasion, the Palmetto nig ritmg prominently displayed from her centre, with the-nion Jack at stem and stern. The name gmn to tlvj ship was the Col. Lamb, one cf the officers in the Confed erate army, ihs ceremony of chriateutng the vessel was performed by Mrs. Lockwocd, the wife of Captain Lcckwcod, ber intended commander, and there waa a novelty abut this part of tbe proceediogs, which wa.-r of an unusually interesting character, and well worthy of notice. Instead of the ship being christeijed in ll-.e oromary manner at the bow, as she led the ways. Mrs. Lockwood, Captain .Lockwood, and a number cf lau is and g'a'.'erjaen, went on board the vessel, ad, amidft tbe cheers cf the spectators, Mrs. Lockwood siood spon sor for the ship as ebe left the stocks, accompanying her as " gcd-mother " into her native element. The launch was in every respect highly succesafu'. Shortly after the Colonel Lamb waa proudly floating on the bosom of the Mersey, a steam tug, which was in attendance, wect alongside and took the parly cn, who thej returned to Me33: 8. Jones, Qaiggin & Oo's establishment, where a sumptuous luncheon bad been prepared by Mr. Lynn, of the Waterloo Hotel, in that gentiem m's well kcown superior style. Mr. V. w. Jones presided, aud alter the usual loyal tcasts had been drunk, The Chairman rose and said that he had now to pro pose to them the bealih of a distinguished individual whom Englishmen had learned to admire, und who was now at tbe head of a nation struggling for right against might. He believed their siucere deiire wa tht President Davis might enjoy tbe benefits and tbe fruits of his labors, placed as he was at the head of the Con federate States. Lung might he live, and might we all see the day when there would ba le3 discord between tbe North and South abroad, and when the Confeder ate Stoics would take their proper position among the nations of the world. (Loud cheers ) He concluded by proposing the health of President JtfJkreon Davis. Ihe toast waa drunk with enthusiasm. The Cbirmun, in proposing success to the vessel which had been launched that day, said that she was the laTge3t vessel, built of steel, which had jet been launched ; being upwards of 1,800 tons bnrtheD, and he hoped that she would fulfil all the expectations which her builders bad foimedof the materials of which the waa composed, believiog. as they did, that there was a great advantage in steel over ircn. He concluded by drinking " Success to the Colonel Lamb." The toast waa received with enthusiasm, acd Mr. Winby, connected with the firm of Messrs. Fraer, Trenholm & Co., responded. The Chairman, in a humorous speech, proposal the health of the ladv who had christened the ship. Ho bslieved it was the first instates of a lady having gone on beard to perform the ceremony. Mrs. Lockwood did not like to see her little god-daughter go into the water without her, and therefore she kept her company ia order to get her out of a difficulty, if any hid happened. (Laughter.)

GENERAL FOSTERS REPLY. Headq'rs Dep't of the South, Hilton Head, Sodtii Carolina, Juue 16tn, 1804. Mejor Geeeral Samuel Jones, commaodirg Confederate Forces, Dep-rtment ot fcjutn Carolina, lieorgiaand Florida : General : I have to acknowledge the receipt this day of jour communicatioa of the 13ih instant, informing me that five generals and forty-five field officers cf the United States army, prisoners of war, have been turn ed over 1 5 you by Bngadier-Gtmeral Ripley, with ic- siructions to see that they are provided with quarters in a part of the city occupied by non-combatants, the majority of which litter you state are women and chil- di en. You add that ycu deem it proper to inform me that it ia a part of the city wnica has been for many months exposed to tbe fire of our guns. Many months - 1 1 TT.:.. J OA -. - Since jiajor-ijrenerai vrnmure, uuucu ouuta army, nu- tlficd General Bc-auregard, thei$ commanding at Char leston, that the city would be bombarded. This notice was given that coa combatants orght be removed, and tins women add children Epned from hardship. General B-:aureard in a communication to General Gi'more, dared Acgu -t 22, 1863, informed him that the non-combatant population of Charleston would be removed with all pbr-sibla celerity. That women and children have b:en smca retained by you in a pirt of the city which has be? n for many mouths exposed to fire is a matter to be decided by your owu sense of humauity. I must, however protest against your action in thus placing dtfenC'-less prisoners ot war in a position ex posed to curstaut bombardment. It i3 an indefensible act, of cruelty, and can be designed only to prevent a con inuance of our fire upon Charleston. That city is a depot for military supplies. It contains not mertly arsena's, but also louadrie3 and factories for the manu facture of munition of war. In its shipyards several armed ironclads have been already completed, while others are still upon stocks, in course of construction. Its wharves and the banks of the river on both sides of the city are lintd with batteries. To destroy these means of continuing the .war is, therefore, our object and duty.

The Herald, referring to thn same affair, says editori ally : In the desperate extremities to whish they ere re duced, the rebels are becoming like sivages in their fe rocity. Their last reported expedient of "warding eff the Yankee fire" from Charleston ia the exposure of cer tain Union officers, held aa prisoners of war, to the chances of being torn to piecea by the shelld directed against the city. The Secretary of War has properly ordered a similar experiment, by way of retaliation ; and if a few rebel cfficei e, exposed upon the Uuon of Morris Island, will not bring the rebel co batteries C2 tne rebel commander at Charleston to terms, we gnees that by covering the decks of two or three Monitors with: rebel prisoners of war and steering with them right up the charnel to Charleston, would accomplish tbe object desired.

PARLIAMENTARY NOTI23. THE MERSEY STEAM -BAMS. On Monday ia tbe House of Commons, Mr. Hodg binson, in reference to tbe Solicitor-General's statement in the Court of Exchequer on Thursday last, that the ca:e of tbe Attorney-General v. Laird and others, rela ting to the seizure of tie Confederate rams, had bten arracged, asked the Attorney-General whether the ar rangement aliuded to involved the purchase of these vessels, and, if so, whether only at their fair value, or at some higher price ; whether the inducement to the Crown to make such arrangement was a doubt as to Le construction and application cf the provisions of tne Foreign Enlistment Act with regard to equipping and arming vessels ; whether it was part of tbe terms of arrangement tbat the alleged misdemeanour under tbe 7th section of the Foreign Enlistment Act should be condoned by the Crown, ana that no claim for com pecsation for the seizure should be made by the defen dants ; and whether any legislation would ba proposed in order to obviate in future the doubts and'difScalties attending the construction and enforcing of the For eign Enlistment Act, end thus prevent the arrangement of the recent cas? operating as a premium to shipbuil ders to speculate oa building vessels of war for bellig eieats. The Atoruey General replied : In answer to the question of the hon. gentleman it will be Beccessary for me to make a short statement to tha House. The House is probaliy aware that in the month of Septem? ber some time before tbe seizure of these vessels the Government applied to the persons representing them selves to be tbe owners ol these ship?, expressing their willingness, if they were really in the hands of6oa fide owners, to tieat for Jtbe purchase of them. At-that tiraa the oveiiare eo made by the Government was en tirely ineffectual, and the seizure afterwards took place. No overture was subsequently made by tbe Government, but on the other hand, an crier was made to the Govern ment some time ago, ofiering the ships in queation to the Government at a price named, which in tbe opinion of the Government did nof represent their fair valae, but was, in fact, a much higher price. That overture was simply and-absolutely declined, and no further commu nications were made having any tendency to lead to an arrangement. The same party, and I mention his name M. Bravay afterwards renewed the application in another form. He stated that he was desirous of know ing whether there were any pecuniary terms which the Government, on their part, would be willing to offer, by means of which the matter might be brought to an end, it being understood that no a ImiEsion was to ba asked from the one party to tbe effect that a violation of the law had been committed, or from the other in tbe contrary sense. Upon that the ad mirality, by the assistance they were able to command, ascertained what, in their opinion would be the fair value, stating tbat they were prepared, for the reasons assigned, to put an end to the matter of the terms of paying the fair value of the vessels, but not on the terms nf navint? anv other or srreater price, i hat value was v9rv mnc-h less than the sum named, and very much les3 than the parties stated they would b3 able to ob tain from any other purchasers they could command They accordingly closed with the offer made by the Government. I ne hon. gentleman farther asks waeth er tbe inducement to tbe Crown to make eucb. arrange ment was a doubt as to the construction and appkea tion of the orovisiona of tbe Foreign Enlistment Act with reerard to tha eq iipping and armiig of vessal?. In answer to that question I may say tbat tbe House is perfectly well aole to judge what tbe douots are wnicn annertaiu to the Eubiecc, but I may, in reierecce to this particular case, add that doubts as to the construction of . . - 1 -. 1 1 K t1 .li tne Act in regaro 10 u naa no couBiueruum pacc iu tuc motives which influenced the Crown to enter into the arrangement to which I have referred. Tbe motives of the Crown were rather these, when the questiou before the Courts was oue of the fact as ell as ol law.it would not have been in accordauca with the experience of those acquainted with tLs un- rria ntv attending tne administration or tu3iice 10 aa an me with a too absolute confiJencs that the verdict, however sticner the Crown might feel in the goodness of its case, would necessarily be in its favour, more par ticularly in a matter iu which, to say the least of it, po litical lceline: mieht exercise an lLflaence on tne result, The Crown could not, therefore, take it for granted that thev would, as a matter of course, be successful, out am at the same time, bound to say that it was not any doubt in the mind of the law officers of the Crown tbat tbey had a good case in which tbey might hope to inppped that induced tnem on tneir sine 10 enier inn. this arrangement. Beside tbe advantage to the public of securing these public objects for which, and not for the sake ot inflicting any loss or forfeiture upon individ uals, the seizures had been made, these considerations operated on the mind of the Crown. In tbe first place, there certainly bad been prevailing graat end consider ble uncertainty iu the pubiic mind us to the extent to which a subject might go in the way of buiidicg or tquippicg ships for belligerents without infringing tbe law. It was well known that before these siezure3 teok place, opinions had been given by wbich individ uals might have been encouraged to believe tbat tbey roorp finffi in acting cn a view of the law contrary ta. nn whip.h ihp. Government might be o.iJopr? rn net. Conseonentlv. there were grounds lor believiog that British, subjects in tbis country had of fended against the law under a bona fide impression that tbey were not doing so. men me wuwu hnd the case or the Pampero in Scotland m view, 10 which they had recently made arrangements upon the R4rr.e aa I venture to think them liberal principals. It had allowed the shin to remain in tbe hands of the owners, not insisting upon the forfeiture, but upon the terms that security should be given against it3 behgeient employment. Io this particular care the ships are good shius. which it is worth the while of the nation to pos sess at their fair and legitimate value. At taesame time, it was felt that the possession of the saip3 by the nation would be more compete and satisiactory kw tvaeainst their employment ior oengerem thanrn? nthr eniraerement into which it was iossio. to enter. Under theaa circumstances, the Crown not tpinr tn mal'f. fYiftnpw not of the transaction, or to 10- flict pecuniary Joss on the individuals concerned, ua law advisers thought they were at liberty to aeaii wi"1 iuc 1 defendants in thia &? tbey bad done in another QQ- UI course, these defendants throughout insisted, ond etil' insist, that tbey were gnilty of no violation of the law, aod no arrangement was made with th.-rn which entitle any ot.e to siy tbat tbey were guilty of any each viola tion. With regard to the nest question, my answer is that of no such condonation as that which it indicates was part of the terms of the arrangement. The Crown was not prosecuting for a misdemeanor : it waa only proceedings aga'03ttheship3. As regards the ques tion of the claim for compensation for the seizure, I can only say that it is qaie impossible that any such claim can be made on tha footing on which tha arrange ment proceeded. I may add, in reply to the last qies t ion, that I hope it will not be found necessary to pro pose any new legislatisn on tbe subi ct. The Government cocfidently trust that all rarth.3 w'ill profit by what ba3 taken place, and that there may ba no occasion for further legislation or prcsecutions ; bu undoubtedly, tbe Government are ts much prepared end determined as ever fo maintain the law cs they utderetard and still nndetstand it to be, if ar.y future infraction of it shculd be attempted. They do not, I may further observe: think tbat this arrangement will operate as a premium to shipbuilders to speculate in building vessels cf war for belligerents, because the parties to the arrangement have represented, and the Government have no reason to doubt the bona fides of the representation, that if the ships were entirely under their own control they would ba able to bring tbem to a more profitabla market, and to cbiain for them a larger price than the Governmen t consented lo give. The prica d-.manded by the owner was 300,000. Ihe Drier, aa thev stand, waa fixed bv the voluer for tbe Admiralty at 190.C00. and for their completion in all respeats a further sum of 25,000. will be required. Perhaps tbe Solicitor General thinks tbat anything is fair 'ia love and law,' and that he was doing more than hia duty to his clients (the Government) io nuking' such a statement in the Court of Exchequer as left tbe impression that the owner of tie rsros admitted he was ic the wrong, and allowed a verdict to be taken for the Crown, and which is utterly false. Such a view, how ever, will not be endorsed by an honorable profession, and we doubt not the Solicitor-General is convinced by this time that his z?al ha3 lead him into error. We hops that the assertion cf the Attorney-Giccral that lif the case had gone on trial, -to say the least of it, po itical feeling might exercise an inflaence on the result," is altogether unwaranted. We cannot forbear to call attention to another point. Tbe Atorney-GenfTal raid 'there was no reason to doubt that if the ships had been free they could have been taken to a more profit able market. What docs this mean? rfhat the Gov ernment took advantage ol their power as prosecu tors to get the ships for ksa than their market value, under threats of a long and ruinous litigation ? If the Government deemed the vessels forfeited, they ought not to have abandoned the prosecution. If tbey felt their case too weak to goto trial, they ought to have paid a full prica for tbe vessels. Cn Tuesday, Lo.-d C. Paget said a supplementary es timate would be brought forward for tbe purcbase-mor-ey of the steam rams. On Wednesday Mr. J Tol'emache asked the Attorney-General whether the offer to sell tbe Birkenhead ironclads at the pi ice of 300,000. was made to tha Government by the owners, Messrs. Bravay, or by the builders, Messrs. Laird. He had referred to tbe report of what took place in the4House on Monday evening, and fie wished to have it clearly understood by all parties tbat the 300,000. was not aked by the Messrs. Laird, and tbat tbey had no control whatever over the actions of tbe Messrs. Bravay. The Attorney-General said the cfter was made by the gentlemen who represented themselves to be the owners 01 tne ltocclads toe Messrs. Bravav. iso such proposal emanated from the Messrs. Laud. .
