f AM THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. COkrKDJCA.TE STATES OP AMERICA. w icTXGTOW, N. C, SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1861. Ooh Western Papers by Friday's mail briDg us very little additional information relative to tie raid made on Morgantor, in Burke cormty, on Monday Lst. The Raleigh " Conservative" of the 30. h ult. says : Gov. Vsnce received a telegram frm Fal'stury.on Tues day m'g.'.t alter onr paper had gone to prfes, to ihe effect tat a rafdiriT pa'ty under the leadership of the celebrated tory cnief, Kirk, vt-ry unexpectedly pail a visit to filor panton, Bu:ke couiity. ramp Vntca, some three mi:es dis tani, and the head of the Western North l arohna V'aiiroa'J. No p. r'i- clara weie fiiven, except that the party captured a train of cars at the head of the railroad. There were about 20 D bojs at Gamp Vance ; Low many of them were captured, if any, is not known. Oa receipt of the news at Salisbury of the presscce of the raiders at Morganton ani Camp Yaace, forces were lent forward from Salisbury to meet the (nemy. Of course the enemy did cot tarry long, and oar forces were unable to coma up with them, as the telegraph has already announced their departure through Watau ga county. We learn frcm the " Conservative." that the deposits in the Brncch cf the Batik of North Carolina at Mor- gatitcn hid been previously removed, and it is not probable the raidir3 made muca.ou', cf the Bank, even if they did rob it.

Mcore, del a few days ajo in the hospital at Danville. The "Journal" cays : '-Col. N. was wound ed severely in the eye in one cf the recent battles around Petersburg. The service hag lost a most ex cellent cfiLer in Li3 fall, and the Yankees whom be often encountered, and always to whip, amiJ the swamps around New hero, will doubtless rejoice in hi3 fail." There were various rumors and reports on the Etreets jesterday, rc'ative to military aflairs on the Petersburg and Wtldon Kiilroad. The telegraph may bring ui s ;rndLIcg dtdaite before we go to pre?s. In the meantime we will etate what appears to be weli founded. Gcc. W. F. Lee, it is asserted, attacked the Yankee cavalry raiders near Behfidd oa Thursday, and captured a number cf prisonerE about 2,G00, (dome Bay 3,000 ) their ba:gige train aDd some artiilery. Gen. Hampton was expected to intercept tho retreat ing enemy, at. a particular poijt, while Gen. Lee ?:a3 Etill pursuing Hew. Tee above is what we L?.v3 heard, and we are in clined to cr:d:t th2 report. A? yet we Live no infor nm:i;n cf the capture of tia wbol3 party that were said to be on the read t;e.r UfEQeld Thursday though as a metier of course v.'e hope to be able to chronicle: that fact in this paper.

A gentleman from the neighborhood of Sneed's Feiry informs us that two steamers acd two transports came up to New Iiiver lulet and sent up the river Eeven barges loaded wiih men, cne of which laadod at the point the others ascending the river 03high up as Sneed's Ferry. Tl.ey took r number of citizens and torses, and seme r.egto;s, which they carried cf?. About the same time a portion of two regiments of cavalry anJ infantry, with seme artillery, went to Jack sonville. A portion of them crossed the river and came cut oa the Wilmtrgtoa road cs far as Dr. Ward's residence, abcut two miles frcm Jacksouvi'Ie. At this point, from soma cause they made a halt. TLey remained at Jacksonville until Tuesday 1 evening, when tbey roiurced by the wuy of Smed's Fer ry, goitg down on the east side, where they met with the boat party,- and received the horses the latter had stolen. They ore understood to have said their destina tion was Wilmigton, hut for Eome cause they did cot projetd further ia this direction than above stated. The land forces were from Smith's Mills, on the White Oak river, where it is reported they ore fortifying. We learn that they cemmitted various depredatiens in Jackboavillc and in that neighborhood.

We are indebted to late ar rivals from Nassau for Northern papers dating from tbe 13th to the 18th o! June. Tbey contain but little news bejoad what has already appeared in our tele graph cjlutcns. The following is the Herald's situation article on tt;e 18 h. Oar readers can jadge how near it comes to telling the truth relative to the occupation of Peters burg by Graki's forces : TUB SITUATION. TLe news from Geteral Grant's army to-day speais of an naeqnivocal success at Petersburg, which plac Ibe tTopa under General Ba'dy Smith acd Gena'als Kau'z and Eccccck occopled on Thursday, after some brisk lighting with tho ent-my at thir intrenotiments. The regro troops ir? HaH to have displayed considerable valor, and hive caMed for special thanka from General Smith. They storm ed the enemy's forts gallantly. Is wa erident thut Gene la Lee's army bad not reached Petersburg before the as sault. He was thas taken by surprise and' outgeneralled by Grant. Nobing of recent date, fays Mr. Ftanton, has been heard from Gin. Sheridan, except a statement ia the Rich mond Whig, of the 15th irst., that hs had been routed by Gefl. Fi:z Lee and Hampton, left his dead and wounded oa the ny.il. and lest five handred priienerB. General Bu'ler's forces were busy on Thursday at Ber muda Hundred, tearing up the railroad track between Pe tersbnrg and Kichmotd. Th enemy had disappeared from h:s front at that point. We fci'e. to-day two maps, ehorwirg the sceDe of these successful operations, including a plan of the city of Pe terebarg. sJTt-ere are no official rejKrta cf any movement iu Gene ral Shermm's army. The details of the late action, fn which General Sturgis was defeated, near Ripley, Mississippi, show that the Union forces made a desperate right, but were compelled to fall back for want of ammunition. The United States supply steamer Newheru, from the North Atlantis blockading sqaadrota, and twenty-four hours from Fortress Monroe . arrived yesterday at this port. She bad on beard seventy-tnree prisoners irom the block ade runners Thistle, Georgina McCaw and Syren, recently captured. On the Qih instant the Newbern ran ashore the blockade runner Peveneey. nine miles north of Beaufort. -b. was laden with arma, lead, bacoa and shoes for the re bels. Ee engines and boilers were blown completely out of her a few moments a'ter she struck. She was a fine iron side -wheel steamer of fire hundred and forty-three tons rtirisit-r. acd now. this b'aing her second trip. The vessel aiid cargo were valued at $1,000,000. Tub Beaufort co-respondent of the New York Iltzald writing fro:n Beaufort, N. C, on the 9 th of June, 1S54, says : The residents ia this vicinity early this morning were the interested spectators of an exciting chase after a iilocktde runner. When off Frying Pan Shoals the gunboat Nowhere, eupply ehip to the flotilla in these waters, discovered a vessel wnico endeavored to avoid her. Chase was at once given and followed up until ths blockade runner ran ashore at a point about eight miles (iterant frcru Beaufort, when the engineer shutt ing the safety valve, the boiler burst, almost destroyns the vessel. Lhe provsd to bo the Prcvensey, from Bermuda, ca paci'.y regntered at four hundred and eighty tons, but, according to the captain's statement, capable of carry ing upwards of five hundred. She was laden with an assorted car 550, principally wines ; and tbe cause of her bdng so far up bsyond Wilmington, where she was bound, was owmg to the captain losing his reck oning. ' Tfce cfiic3rs and crew forty-odd in number ej-cane-tl on the veesel grounding, to the shore, where U;ey were subsequently reapiureo, wim tue exception of six, wno win probably b3 tound to-day. A t-quad oi eight, supposing tbat they were in the vi citiitv ot the Southern lines, discovering Paymaster Wood of the navy, disclosed to him who they were, and requested bim to lead them into camp. The Paymas ter, nevertlndeceivino, led them forward until our pick et station was reached, when he politely informed them that they were prisoners much to their evident sur prise and chagrin. Owing to the rough weather at the time prevailirg much ct the cargo will either have been carried away or destroyed : but a large number of cases of wine have already been secured and fully as many are still on board ct tne wreck. 1 he men had concealed about their pzr socs when taken prisoners betwe'en five and six thou sand dollars in gold. Mr. James G. Falser, master s mate ot the Dacotab, was drowned in endeavoring to take o2 the cargo of the priz3. The news in this vicinity is sparse and uninteresting. The two hundred-pound Parrot gun captured at Ply mouth nas been moved to Richmond, and the rebels are building another ram in the Roanoke river. Mujor Marcus Erwin has been appointed Commis sioner of North Carolina, and Major Edwin S. Jen ney, Third New York artillery, is annouoced in gene ral orders as Provost Judge of this District. Busi ness of ad kinds is at a standatiil, and merchants and traders are at their wit's end to dispose of time. The mortality among the refugees is still great principally children.

Messrs. Fulion Sf Face Gents: Many, we nuy cot be wrong in faying a majority, cf tbe " Departme.it Battalion " pre.er that our chief i fiacer beaciuzmof this town at least that he be w.'ll and favorably known among U3. Let our leader defend his home in hading us to defeud our3. Upon this tbe higbtst degree of tfiiciency depends. Conspicuous amcue others, and eminently fit for tbe ccmmaLd, is Maj. Robert B. McRae, end the compli ment is due to htm. Born among us and ra'sed with ns, tiled and true, col but energetic, brave and skillful, modest in deportment, suable in manner, yet hrm in command, he stands, as we believe, without a rival m his qual.heations for tbe position. It has been suggested, that if it is the wish of the Battalion to choose their commander, the privilege wiil not be denied them. What bits the Battalion ? M. MarUlln and Ienncs&tv Mountain. The "Locii" of the Atlanta Register has been to "the front." Hear htm : Oar obj?ct beirg to visit the mountain, we did not tarry iong in the city, wuich one can scarcely recognize as the quiet little watering place of years gone by. Hotels and dwelling nouses cave oeen converted mio hesnita's, store houses and quarters for the military, and the group of pleasure Eeekers lounging around, have given way to groups of convalescent soldiers soldiers hurrying to and fro on business, soldiers on the hotel balconie?, soldiers on the house tops, watching tbe shells burstins over the mountain m the distance. Qiartermasters aDd commissaries, with their retinue of c.erks, medical gentlemen, and members of the relief committees, with tbeir uniforms and badges, now and then a General, with bis well dressed staff on horseback, wagons and teamsters, ambulances with tee sick and wounded all kinds of? looking men on horseback, and all kinds of looking men and bovs on mules, and a hun dred other efghta incident to the rear cf a large army, catch the eye as yoa wade through the mad of Marietta of to-day. It is three miles to the top of Kenncsaw, which looms up so pUicly as you leave the city that you would hardly imagine it half the distance. Mounted upon a whito horse, with 44 C. S." plainly visible upon tbe left shoulder, which we suppose stands for can't swim," or scmethiDg else, we succeeded, after wading, pluDging and sling through the mud for a couple of miles, in reaching the mountain. The sheila which had been screaming away in tbe distance became unpleas antly nearer and nearer as we ascended the acclivity, and as we were tving old Whitey in a thicket, one cf them passed so near our head that we found ourselves making a profound obeisance to a rock near by. Thought it wouldn't do to stand still, and kept on up towards the mountain top. Hadn't gone far before another one of those things with chucks to its tail " went crashing through the trees oYerfeead, and we went, down agaiD. Got up again, however, and traveled along tbe reeky path ut a yery lively pac, until we enscons-:d on selv.s bHiird. the works of the battery jit the apex. After a littls while, our ears becoming less nice, we sfrol ed outside the batteiy aid took a good view of the arm of the Cumberland spread out before us in the vulle j te! w I was a grand Eight, at.d one worth liiki.jg "m":e sbelis than the Yackets cn throw at Kei nfr'aw in see. Iu tbe distance, the plains were dotted wit ; Yunk'e t ots r,d wagons, here acd there, like little v.ilcpjps of vSouthf-ra negro quarters ; and nearer their huts nd f. rt.ficatiors were plainly visible, apparency nft ever a mile or so distant.

Oa the little Kenneeaw to our left, "a battery, of our gcn3 was firing away at a Yankee battery iurtber dowa t the leftacd along both lines ns I&r es we could see, puffj of white smoke were ascending 'rem lima to tiajj, followed by thadull boom icg of cannon. Tfce emoke of the Yankee locotno .ives went trailing along the tree top, and tbeir wagons could be seen moving dr;wu towards ;he left of our liars. We spent some tune in lot kiog over the shoulder cf a soldier, who with paper resting 011 an idle gun, was sketching the scene as it lay spread out l.ktj a picture before him. it was hard to leave thi9 mouatain top, and tbe grand view which it gives, bat iu order to c:tch the two o'clock t:a:n, we cismb rtd down the steep reeky path dodgiig, it 13 true, 53 we came in fultiaoge of the shells agaia, until we reached cur horse, winch we mount ed and wa-ied back cgiin through tha mud to Ma rietta.

We have aheady sta'HJ tbat II r MejcgtVs Govern ment has put an e'id to tbe exp-cfed litigation in the case of the Attorney-General v L?ird, by purchasing the steam ram' EI Toufsio and Ei Mocasiir. Last Thursday the Solicitor-General came into tfce Court ol Exchequer at Westminster ur.d s-iid, I have to inform the Court tint tbe ras:- ol the A ttorrey General v.

It i3 right I should state that the obj ct of tier Majesty's Government is not to punish iudividaals by fine or forfeiture, but to prevent vessels iuing from our ports to make war on nations with whic'a we are atpeace. Ibatohj ct has been obtained in this in stance, and, trcrt.tore, tie case is at an-end.' We have quoted G : e xact .Wor s used by the Solicitor General, in order that ihe sequel of the s'ory may be fully appreciated. Toe law officer of the Cro??n is presumed to be capable cf expressing ia intelligible language that meaj;ir.g which he desires to convey. That tfce Solicitor-General, from eome cans?, failed to do eo, nay be collected from what follows. Oa Friday, tfce Attorney-Geueral, with Sir Hugh Cairns, Q O, came into Court and desired to mak3 if statement wih refererc3 to what had fulit-n frcm bis colleague on the previous day. He eaid that the Solicitor-General did not mean to convey the impression that the formal steps of eatprirg judgment for the; Crowa ad eitber been actually taken at ihe tiaie or that the form bad been fltally resolved cn. lie wou'd stale in a few words the true state of the fclLir. The Crown had asserted tbat there was a vslid se:zire for a vulid caune of for feiture. The elinr.n4s hid to the last cssered, and still asserted, that there va no such valid cruse oi forfeiture : but the matter h:d bteu by arrangement Withdrawn fr-m he cogcisanca of the Court, so tbat no dotcrmicatioa of it would bo n.-ctssary, and taat had been dene upon tho footing that the Crown bad agreed to pay "to the claimants the value which "tbe Crewn themselves bod placed upon tfce proper'y? end that, too, entirelv without prejudice to the position cf tho Crovn or the chimants with regard to tl a: question that would have required to be tried, if the arrange ment had nat been mad 3- The mod3 of doing it and givirg effi-Ct tc vLu trirgement had not been flnaiiy a; rived at, tut co r. edc would b. adopted that would in any degree whativcr authorise- sny one to say that tbere was any adiTiiiun l y the claimants that it was a valid forfeiture. The Lod Chief Baron observed 'th?.t the explaaatioa was n .cGary after what was stat ed by the Solicitor General, tor undoubtedly his state ment was, that the claim op the .part cf the clatmants wes withdrawn, and tbrrtiore the srzare stood as an uncontested aeizurw of ibe vessels ; the Solicitor-General had ut questionably U3 d the words "the claim had been withdrawn," there wos no eloubt abouMhat.' Baroa Martin also eaid, that 'he could pcrlecth well understand how tfce misapprehension did arise, frrom the last two or three words used by the Solicitor-General.' Tfce learned Attorney General eeema to be as unfor tunate in Using dragged iato airh:ulues by his collea gu(s as he "is ekil.'ui in rescuing them their difficulties. London Index. GES. JOSEPH E.

Battle at Mobgakza, La. We learn from a young gentlemen just from Port Gibson, that before he left that place, the report had reached there that Gen. Dick Taylor bad a battle with the enemy under Gen. Oanby, in which our forces were completely victorious. Tbe enemy's lots is stated at 1,500 killed and wounded, 3 ,000 prisoners, 17 pieces artillery, and vast numbers of Email arms, a targe quantity of stores, and tbat when Gen. Taylor was last heard from, he had completely routed and driven the enemy over sixteen miles. Oar loss is estimated at 600, killed and wounded. Jackson Mississippian, June 22. The cry of " Fort Pillow " used by the Yankees in the late fight with Forrest, remarks the Chattanooga Rebel, was doubtless intended to announce that no c.uarter wes to be given, and that the Confederates were to be put to the eword. The question should be propounded direct to tbe Yankee Government, whether they have euthorized theL: troops to raise the flag of indiscriminate slaughter or not ? H the Government refuses to answer, we will be justified in our own consciences aLd fcefc re tfce world, in acting upon tbe presumption that "no quarter" is tbeir policy, and govern ourselves accordingly. It is folly for us, and rank icjestice to our soldiers, to continue to regard the usa ges of civilized warfare, and capture and kindly treat prisoners, if c ur foes have resolved to slaughter Ccr fed erate troops whenever the chances cf war places it in their power to do so. The conduct of tfce Yankee soldiery, and especially cf the negroes, ba? cf late, been such as to raise more than ft Pnan einn that, ihfir barbarities are the results of a fixed aLd deliberate policy, treacherously adopted but not publicly announced, tor lear of retaliation and re prisals on our part. But their Govercment can be made to answer, atd if it publicly and officially disa vow any such crders, all we have to do, is to slaughter withcut mercy airWho a e caught io ths practice re ferred to, Oi- using each battle cries as " Fort Pillow."

A Yankee rcvelator, bailing " just from Richmond," furnishes the N-w York World with an elaborate description of the de fences of Richmond, which he describes as tfce most stupendous, perftci and fi rmfdabie that military art and L?gro labor ccalu make tii-.-m. Bat after dwelling at length upon every device cf the Virginians for shed ding Yankee v :d, he winds up with this ecccuot of a conspiracy aguist tb-2ir stomachs : .Before leaving the dsrerjCta ot Richmond , I must mention anew and novel invtiution by Captain Iiolden, o.' the robe! array. It is nothing more cr less than a st,itk bail, designed to be fired into the work3 of be siegers to stink hem out. About the middle of April I vas 02e of teveral civilian?, who, upon invitation, accompanied a party of officers to Atlee's Station, on the Central Ruiiroad, ten milea from Richmond, to witness some exporinrnts with this ball. The ball ia an iron shell, containing combustible and destructive material, as well as odoriferous matter, ani in appear ance is similar to the etink ball in u:e many years ago. It ia dteigntd to be thrown by mcrtars, but in the tests on tha occascn referred to, the fuse was lighted and the shells allowed to fulminate where they were placed. Ihe stench vhick followel the explosion wss the most fetid and villainous that ever assailed the ol fr.sories of rain. Coleridge said that he counted ia Cologne eeven ty seven " Well defined and save ral stinks." But if le bad been at Atlee's on the day of the expe riments alluded to he would have recogmztd them all, and seventy-seven thousand more. The concentrated stink of ail the skunk?, pole cat?, niggers, pitch sul pLur, rasped Lorses and horses' hoofs, burnt in fire, as 6a ce id i, fcrria and bu weeds in the world, could not equal the t'mell emitted by these balls. But not only is the smell itself intolerable, but it provokes sneezing and caughiDg, and produces nacsea, rendering it im possible for men to do duty within reach of it. A sin gle ball wili impregnate the afmosphere for fifty yards round, and the fetid compound, entering everything it touches', emils the stench lor a long time. The opinion of all who witnessed the experiment' was that the ball was a fair effect to Greek fire., and Geo. Winder and seve-rui otheis of nnk who were present, expressed tbe belief that it would prove more effective for driving eff besiegers than aoything ever invented. Bethisasit may, if Richmond ia ever threatened by siege, the sneez.TS, rs the inventor facetiously calls his balls, wili form a prominent lea ture in the defensive operations. Bursting op Wiard's Fjftken iNcn Gun. Wiard'E l rge fifteen inch guu weighing forty-six thousand pvuud?, and throwing a double headed shot weighing eight hundred end seventy eix pounds, with a charge of eighty pounds cf ' powc?e, was tested at the gunnirg grounds or. Saturday evening, for tfce purpose of firing off one charge preparatory to the principal test, which wca to have taken place to day. The chnrga was over eighty pounds of powder, and an im merse bail of about the weight stated above The wbolc waa sent heme with tremendous force. The gun was tightly secured with heavy timbers. The parties tben secured themselves by going into riflo pita some distance off. The signal wo s given and tho explosion took piece, shaking many houses in tbe city, although f ome two miles off. When the dense cloud of smoke cleared away, it was found that the g-un had buret jast above the place occupied by the charge. One large piece, weighing tome three tens, wag thrown a distance of five or six hundred yards. Another large piece was thrown into tbe canal, and another into a corn field some distam-e off. The ground was ploughed up by tfce larger fragment to the depth of four feet and fcr a distance cf twenty feet. The men in the rifle pits were covered with sand, acd in many instances hats were blown cff. No person, fortunately , received any injury. The loss i said to be about $9,000. Trenton, N.

At the bombardment' of Fredericksburg, one han dred and seventy-three Yankee cannon rained solid shot and shell for ten hours upon the city. The guns were placed in position on the bluff around the city, and bore down immediately on the houses. During the ten bouts' cannonading,, upwards of fifteen thousand shot and shell were thrown into the devoted town, and yet, strange to say, only one person a negro woman--Qf aii who reaaained, w&s killed. - : Briad and Meat. We have seen a letter from an officer who has recently travelled, on efficial business pertaining to the quartermaster's department, almost over the entire State of Alabama, acd also a large portion of Mississippi. He reports that the crop of wheat now being harvested is excellent, not lrjured by rust, and that the yield will be very great. The" grow ing crop of corn promises an abundant yield. From the same writer we have a u low estimate " of ths bacon tithe in Eeven States east of tbe Missis sippi, the aggregate being 21,000,000 pounds. Ibis quantity, together with tfcat wfcich m?y be purchased and imported, and of the beef supply, will unquestion ably prove sufficient to feed the army until the- next heg crop is cured. If the tithe of bccn amounts to 21,000,000 poundr, what is the aggregate quantity in the Confederate States ? Whig. A Brave Man. Luut. Cleveland, of tho 5th Kentucky, was Eeriousiy wounded in a charge at the trc.nt on Satnrdav last. He was first struck in the face with a shell, but arose and continued to lead his men. He was then shot through tbe abdomen and fell, but fitrnin cot ua and continued tbe cbaree. A third cbot in bin breast broueht him to the earth, but again he rose and charged, and when within a few feet of the enemv's breastworks, was brought the fourth time to the earth by shots, which broke both arm3. Hia rommacd retreated, and the Yankees took Lieut. Cleveland prisoner. Afur robbing him of his revolv er, hat acd pocket bock, they left him as a dead man. But at night Lieut. Cleveland got away, escaping the pickets into cur lines. Hs i3 now in Atlanta. tl it.cheste? Bulletin.
