vQ 41-trt mile rracfice is better tLan a great deal
i.- -Ye wi-'I try to give a practical illus.
t lion el enr position. There are three gentlemen
ra eaa cacdidflte3 for the sberifalty of our county,
JTuaix, Mf-jor-McTJAE, and Captain BrKTiNG.
They are l1 ckver gentlemen, good Confederate cit
izsrs good soldier?.
There are several gentlemen-named as candidates for
tbe Legislature, for the House of Common", we thick.
We are not aware that anybody haB (flared for the Sen
ate ic exposition to Mr. IIall.
'cw, among these candidates tl ere are gentleman,
who, order the old regime did cot go with us political
y, bet there, is sot cne man brought before the people
of New Hanover, by himself, or by his friend3 whom we
do not know to be perfectly true to the cause of the
Confederacy. No llcldenites, no Bojdenites on the
coutrary, Scuthernmeo. as that qualification is under
stood among Ue t:ue rrcu of New Hanover ard all
oihov counties who so unders.and it.
la rdcrcnc2 to these gentlemen, we can take, and ve
do take, no part based upon party action before the pre
E:-nt issue. They all etand tow upon the same platform
that we do. bcu!d any rran come cut calling hirn-tlj
a " Conservative," or flying any other party banner,
we would fiel ourselves bound to oppose him. Of
couise our opposition wcu'd go for what it might b'j
worth. This is po tima for such things.
We certainly claim no light to dictate ; we hard'y
assume tie power to advi3?. We think, however, that
we have a right io say th:3 much : We have come to
the conclusion that, under existing circumstances, it is
cur duty to vote for Jcv. Vaxcs, and we shall so vote.
Did we have the fixing of things, we would elect to the
Legislature no Uiu who proclaimed hienstlf a pavty
" Conservative," nor indeed any other mere party man.
We would elect no man vhose on?y principle was op
position to the Con'tCcrute Administration, and whose
only Shiboleth was an abjargation against Jeff.
Davi3. We would go for these whose course had shown
that they pebscased the ability and the will
to Eustain the South in L?r present BtruggU'. Wlifc
out the dbili-j the will is ucU irg ; without the will
the ability is woree tLan cotbicg.
We thus show h-jw rnaeh apart wc arc fiorn mere
partyism, and we nwka ro concealment of the fact
tbut, as we regno t!.e political organization known as
the " Conservative Party " as a rr.ec party organiza
tion, for part izxi purp' S'j?., inueb a3 we respect very
many eu'lemcn who have b:-en drawn into it, wq sti'

July 2d, 1864. '
Editors Daily Express : Have the kbdnees to
give puhlicity to a brief stareuent of facts, relative to
the rout of Wilcox's raidtrs at K.'om3' Station, on the
29 hult. On the evening of the 28 h, at 9 o'elock,
Finepun' F.oiida, and Saunders' Alabama Br gad,
commaLded by Gen. Fiuegan, left camp ne r T tertbarg,
t.nd arrived ut Rtra' Staticn at G o'clock, a. m.
Gen. Fkegan proceeded immediately torei-onnoiter the
gnmnd, aed had scarcely done so, and disposed of his
tioops, tre the cavalry u.cket announced that the enemy
were upon ua.
Oar infantry, plac :d in aaibush, quietly awaited the
apprici ot the ice, rJ osi presence was new indicated
by a locg bte cf dUit, r.sii g ia our immediate front
iSothiDg setmrd surer thaa that a few minutes more
would witntss the 31at puuiabment of a band of rob
bers. Uubappiiy, as thrir advice came in sight, a
battery of aruuery opened upon it. The colamn was
jmmeaiatfcly halted, and after a short encasement wi h
two Ahbama rwim-Bts led by UentrsSanderB. the
Yankees doubltd upon their track, and etruck out to
their le.'t, hoping thus to cross the Railroad at a point
between us and Fettrbburg. Qen. Finegan, divimDff
their parposea, left a portion of bia command to hold
tee present position, ard with he fesi marched a mile
and a half up the road 5n tirna to again confront Gen.
Wilr-on. With six hundred and fifty men, Gen. Fine
gan held h'-m in check leur hoar?, and they were four
long and atjxious Lonra. By the bnrning of houses,
Wilson bad early in the morning given signals of d!S-
tress, which nouat have been seen in the Yankee army.
YVe Iccew not at what hour Sheridan, supported by in
fantry would pounce upon our rear. At length, Gen.
Fitz Lee's cavalry cama to our assistance. In the in
terim, the raiders had thrown up bretily constructed,
bat quite serviceable breast works.
With Gen. Fmegan upon the left, and Gen. Ia nn-
on the right, it was decided to charge at cnt And in-
dee it was a charge, as will bo seen by comparing the
lruna oi victory airesdy enumerated m your paper witn
the disparity of the numbers of the combatants. Gen.
W liaon commanded five or six thousand Yankees Of
the Artillery captured, seven pieces were taken by the
Florida troops. No men could act more eallantlv than
did Lee'a cavalrr.
$It eeema to be G: n. Finegan's fortune always to fight
!arge cdd3. At Lake City, FJa.: with two hundred acd
fifty men, ha reputed twelve hrndred of the enemy ; at

Wc have Richmond papers of the 8:b, but find little
or nothing ne w or in teres ing in them. We notice that
the Dispatch cf that date eays : " A heavy rumour.
prevailed yesterday to the tffjct that Wilmington,
North Carolita, had been captured ard occupied by
tha Yankees " The Dispatch mentions the rumour
simply to contradict it, atd t.dds a few worda for the
benefit of persons inventing or circulating groundless
and absurd rumours.
The enemy is sufferirg awfaily fcr water. Th3 cor
respjedents of Northern journals complain of this want,
deserters refer to it, an 3 persons who have resided dur
ing a great portion of tfceir lives in the section now
occupied by the enemy say that in seasons of drougth
like the present, even the sparsely scattered population
of the counlry feel most keeniy the absence
of water. How, then, will it fare with the
immense army of men and horses which
Grant has now between Petersburg and the two rivers
The Dispatch says that in more favoured localities well,
might be dag, and other means resorted to in order to
relieve their pirchisg thirst, but our information is that
the county of Pricce George abounds in no perpetual
springs bubbling up for the nourishment of man and
beast, rhi!e the dealing out of whiakey rations for
which G rant is said to be famous, will but increase
the evil. Sickness must inevitably result from an in
adequate or impure supply of water undrr ablaz ng July
sun, when thu slightest movement creates " clouds ol

principally directed at Battery Pringls.
About seven o'clock Thursday morning, Batteries

c o.aag onr report. 'J no bombardment wos kept up
auerna'eiy by Giegg at;d VV egner, each battery hncg

shots had been thrown at the fort up to six o'cloc
ihursay evening. The enemy 'a fire was briskly
arswereo oy Jiatterie? bimkias, llasiieil and Ryan, o
James' Iar.d, ot:d by our " batteries on Sullivan'i

casualties.
Wednesday night it was believed that the .enemy
were aboat to ma-KO fanotner attempt on Fort Johnson.
Just before sucsot, a number of the enemy's barges
were observed movtig about Schooner Creek, nearly
opposite the "twamp Angel " battery, between Black
and Monij' Isir.ijd?. Pieparations were accordingly
made to receive tht in, bat they fai'ed to coma up.
About nine o'clock Thursday morning heavy, and at

Mc ot Charleston.
THREE HUNDRED AND BIXTY-EEVESTH DAY.
At an early hour Saturday morning heavy and rapid
discharges ot musketry and light artillery in tne uireo
tion of John's Island were heard in the city. News
was soon after received of a severe fight on John's la
land, and the cheerin? announcement made that the
enemy, after a bard acd stubborn resistance, had be n
driven from all his positions. About nice o'clock the
following dispatch was received at Headqaarters from
o onn s island :
" Majr Stringfellow I a! tacked the enemy, who
was expecting me, at daylight this morning, and ano
dcivmg him at &il points. We have passed the line o
works he occupied yesterday. Our casualties heavy.
(Signed,) B. II. ROBERTSON,
Brigadier General."
From an cfiic:cr who participated we learn the fol
lowing facts :
The enemy, after the previous day's ekirmishiDg, had
takeattp a position about a mile and a half in iront of
BuvfitaFa Caussway. They had thrown up a very
bsavy line of intrenchments, which was strongly forti
fied with their artillery.
Thelorce of the enemy behind the intrenchments was
estimated at about three thousand men. A deserter
who came in siid that it consisted of cine regiments.-
Our own line wbh not more than three hundred yards
from that of the enemy's.
About davlijrht our forces, under the c mmand of
Gen. B. JT. Robertson, moved forward to the attack
The infautry were commanded by Col. Geo. HarriOD,
oi the 32 j Ga : and the artillery r-y Lt. Col. Del. K m
per. Our advance. troops consisted of ibe 62d a., 1st
Ga. Regulars, 47th Gh., Bomrau's Georg-ia Battiiriu
anrl part of the 4ih Ga. cavalry, together with the Ma
rion and Washington Artiiiery.
Our men Eteadily end gailaotly pushed forward to
the storming cf the enemy's position under a terrific
fire of musketry and artillery. In Ike ping over their
works many of the brave Georgians were wounded in
the bead, breast and etomacb, principally the latter. A
desperate hand to hand encounter also rook place be
hkid the fortifications, i he tiht lasted about an hour,
when the enemy gave way a'oag the whole hue, and
were gradually driven back to their second line ot en
trenchments, behind Burden's causeway.
Duriog the fight the enemy were reinforced by two
regiments Of infantry. We took but few prisoners, the
fight being a moat obs'inv'e one on both sides. The
inus-kefry firug ceased about nine o'clock. I'he ariii
hry firing was kept up tiil towards eve ling. Oar loss
was e8iimated a boat fifUxn killed, aod from 60 to 70
wcunded.
The following dispatch was received at Headquarters
about half-pas'., 12 o'cloc k Saturday r
" Fort Pkmbsrtok, July 9, 12 M.
"Light artillery firing with occasional vo'liea of mnsk
etry is still heard on John's Island and steadily reced
ing Southwards in iiu: direction of Legareviile, where
the Yaakce guoboc.ts are stationed."
A later dispach from Gen. Robertson was received
about six o'clock, which stated "that the enemy was
supposed to be abandoning John's Island. A Jare
number of transports oculd b seen at ths wharf at
Legartville, acd men observed passing to aud frou the
boats, whether leaving with their wounded or landing
more troops, was not definitely ascertained. Our cas
ualties were es'imated at about one hundred killed and
wounded, ihe latter being principally in the stoma 2h.

Feliow-citizna of tie Senate end House
Io conformity with ti requiremeats of the " Chicago
riatiorm," l now lay betore your "honorable bodies
an anoual statement of the cocoition of the country,
together with euch eoggestions as are, deemed impor
tant rcr your consideration at year present session.
The relations of the United States with foreign nations
are on the most " friecdly footing " with the exception
or tne aouinern Confederacy, Jiingland, France. Mexi
co, Russia, Austria, Spain, ilayti,and the Copper-
neacs. iayti, in particular, seems to be regardless of
her treaty stipulations. When the " war for the
Union " was first batched ioto its proper proportions,
the President cf tnat interesting republic, by a solemn
treaty, agreed to receive and colonize all persons of
African descent who might fall victims to the irrepres
sible cOLflict through a ' military necessi'v." Ac
cordingly I despatched two vessel loads of " treedmen "
to that country, such as had been captured in the it-
tric of Columbia, with the " desire " that they be
receive! and cared for, as the first icstslment of a series
of accessions to tfceir superior race. This desire was
flatly saoated, and I was informed by " the G iverc-
meni " the e, that " it " would " see me hanged first."
Whereupon the captains of said ships were forced to
sell their cargces to Cuban planter?. I would earnst'y
recommend such action io the case as your wisd ;tn
Bhiil deem proper I, at the time, i?sued a procla
mation " to that TOVcrnai?nt, but there doting L100
miles of " herring pond " between U3, and they know
ing little or nothicg of my military sngacity, took it
for saot gun wadding.
Oar financial condition continnea io a very favorable
plight. Since the last adjournment of Congress Secre
tary S. P. Chase has issu-d seven thousand millions of
tons of piper currency, to be soon followed by six
thousand five hundred and eighty four quarter sections
of $5,000 bonds. This, with "the eighteen hundred
millions of sore shin currency, and the ''internal re
venue," will be sufScent to carry on the war the pres
ent year, provided I succeed in keeping General Simon
Cameron oat of the Treasury buildings, and the rebels
lay down their arms. Bat as the 'best laid schemes
of men and mice gar g aft aglee ;" or as my expecta
tions in this respect may not be realized, I would re
commend the passage of an act authorizing him in
case the necessity arise to set e float a few thousand
millions during the recess of Congress. Fellow-citizens,
there is a dreadful rebellion existing and we should
shape our policy to meet it. I hava done all cy means
prosecute ths war against armed treason with greater
vigor than heretofore. It ia thought by the Secretary
of W ar, whose report ia herewith transmitted, that
eighteen huadred thousand mm, between ths ages of
thirty-five and thirty-six, together with all the women
in Massachusetts, should be enlis'ed for forty-five years
or durirg the war, to render the army cf the Potomac
effective.
In addition to this. I would suggest the propriety ot
pnliaiinsr the balance of the population for a like period,
tthich together with the entire population of the Chi-
ripse Emoire. would form tho nucleus oi an aimy,
around which the race of mankind will rally and secure
Washington frcm demolition by the rebels, and insure
the November elections in favor of the loyal candidate?;
Ubeeides it would serve a better purpose stiy, by checs
:rjg me auaaciiy oi me copptmcaua.
The operations of the navy, alftough efficient in
some cast s, i3 far from beinar satisfactory. I would re
commend the purchase and armifg of all tbeCape Cod
fkhint? cralt. lor harbor defenses, and tne lmcaiaie
rnr Ktmfition cf fifteen thousand iroa cbd " rama,
twentv-five thousand tons each, encased with at least
sixteen feet in thicknefs tf wrought iron, to protect
New England interests at the mackerel fishery from the

thnn-rht that the cod fish interests of '-the country
might be sufficiently protected. TI ey demand, and
