TUK WILMINGTON JOURNAL. fU.fltDitfVAlB STATSS OF AMERICA. 1 Hr- 13 a ath of cewfl 0 day Tbe mai 8 bnrg ca Richmond papers of the 4th inst., but they contain little cf importance that baa not been anticipated by telegraph- " FrcrS the Sccth we have received nothing for two days, and we are entirely in the dark a3 to tto move ments of our army in Georgia. The Richmond Whig Baj3 that it h 44 informed, officially, that General G. T. -Beauregard has been fissigued by the President to the cemmued of ti e Departments heretofore commanded, reepec'uvciy, by Generals Hcod and Taylor. We believe the Department aa now arranged will cover the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky though in regard to this we are not certain. The report, eo fondly believed, that General B auregtrd waa to take command of the army lately Liacceavred out Of Atlanta is thus set at rest, and the eager desire cf tbe country is egain disregarded. Nevertheles?, the Lvpartrcent to which General B. has been assigned, embracing as it does ths threatened city of Mobile, i3 aa important one, and although it may cot afford op portunities for the display of those briiliant qualities in the ul'H which has won fcr the coble Creole so much admiration from the country and so much love from the army, yet it ij the felicity of his nature to achieve triunpLa for the cauas, and fame for him3elf,ia all posi tions in wlich he Lj placed."

Letter from Col. O. D. AndntoDi PARTICULARS OF THK BUBRKNDKK. OF' FOQT The Mobile Register publisbta the following ex'ract from a letter from Colonel Andrra m to bis wife, dated Military Priaon, New Orleans AUjfuat 18'h I waa compelled to surrendf-r Fort Gainea through feelings of mrcy for my officer and men, who earneatly appealed to m9. The position was mtt rly untenable, the fl-J2t having pasEed.'anu an overwhelming force be sieging by land, tbe only thne guns with which I could hava responded to tne ua-i disabled, ray p'eket ane driven back the last, rotSh, the ditch. s and parapets swept from every direction by tke enemy 'a snot and shell, no eafa ebdter in the miserable apology for a fortification, two sik men having been kihed in what web considered the bes; cisema'f. threatened with a tremendous cifligration from tbe buddings within, acd the magas:j'3 in great dujgtr of beii,g blown up, and f 11 hope of ts. 'ape, or of accomplisbiog tbe slightest good by holding ouf, gone. I did not consider Mobile in danger, for theenerry bad evidently not come pre pared for any'biog except to gain ihc harbor for s safe anchorage, and aa a prelimibaiy a'cp towards further operations ia the fli. As soon as the fl.et ran in, Col. Wiliiani5 retreated ith his command, and therein acted more sensibly than any of us. The whole line ought to have been prepared for tbe same time. Under these circumstances my command waa seized with the appaliirg conviction tbat our case wus hope less, ansl seemed paralizd with the prospect of certain and useless deal! uction. I real zed all these horrors of tbe si'uation, but said noibibg, but continued diligent !y to make the necessary didpeeitions, and give.eneour agement, being resolved oa niaking the best fibt that waa pessib'e. When, bowerer, Ilo cfBcers came to me after midnight while I was bard at wt-rk, und expressed themselves so decidedly in favor of surreri'tor, and as sured me that their men concured with them, 1 saw at once that nothing more could be done. You nny im agine with what crushing humiliation this conclusion came upon me, for as yet I bad only sixteen or seven teen men killed and wounded, aad knew tbat it wr ex pected of ma to do something m?re for the reputation and the honor cf the flag. I expected to be ci:rucifced, acd I cculd cot ma'na'n tbe etiquette of the' r ili?ary code without exhibiting too much selnsaness, notuirg was leu me out to coi suit the great Daturtd r.d moral law wb ch prompted me to do exactly as I did. I might have got out of the scrape by demanding to i)3 relieved, ou? i tnougiit that would only make matters worse, for had ony o-her offi- cer, even Geo. Page him.e.f. attempted to ngnt tbat tort another hour, I fetl sat ir tied that tbera ouhi have been 1 mutiny and a really diagrsce.'ul surrender at last. I see it has brea state! tbat I acted contrary to tho I i .Til I . . - rto ; ; fc I express orders oi eu. rjt. iuis ia n-ji uur a pre- viously intimated to him my cxraitioo, and that I would have soon to euacumb, but he c'uargt d ma to do the best I could. He kuew quite well that the lort could no? hold out to makj a fihr, and tbat the time lor ordera from him had parsed. I am also blamed ror not an avering his signals. My reason f r this i?, that nego tiations were then pecding, undt-r flag of truce, and therefore, I had no right to communicate. A regards my cocsultitig him ebmt the surrender, I was cut cfl and surrounded, and ci uld only.act on my own re-spon-sibiliry. Besides this, Captp. Smith and ' thorn nad visiteJ Fort Gaines oniy tne i;ight previous, and lore seeing the inevitaole rc:ult, they told me that the Gen eral left the matter entirely with me. Ocn. Pi'go sldo came over while I waa at tho fleet, acd lcarojog the wti Aq state of fcffaus, why did u:i not ahsame comoiaud and iJ'utrate, just for Oi.e day, tha mad, forlorn and unavailing d speration of making a human siaughier pen of Fort (iaiues ? Ina.jad of thi?, however, ue re turned iojmed lately, thus avoiding tn.y implication, wriich, for bis aak2, was exactly wtat I desired, is 1 entertained thv1; highest pcesiible regard for Ucn. Pag, nd felt conscientiously that 1 was doing the btst tnat could be done under the circumsunces, I regret exceed ingly to suspect that the General had cot cs much char ity for me.

The Charlottesville Cbromcie ot Friday morning, gives Borne account of Gen. Early's operations during tbe three preceding daye, wh.oh possesses coDtiierable interest. - The Chronicle states tbat it has at last rather more definite accounts from tbe Val ey. There waa a fight on Monday, near Port Republic, in which we drove the enemy back s.x milea. There was on tbe eame day near Swift Run Gap, tha ambuscading of a brigade of the enemy's cavalry mentioned already. The Yankee troopers were in pursuit of one of our trains, when Gen. gave orders to the anvers to keep calm, and placed a portiou of bis division in the woods on each side ol tbe road. The enemy advanced unconsciously, and at a distance of thirty yards our troops poured terrific volleys into them, killing and wounding a great many of them. It ii ascertained that 187 prisoners and about 300 hcraes were captured. On Tuesday there was a fight at Mount Meridian, some two or three miles from Weyer'3 Cave, in which the enemy had only cavalry engaged. We drove them baci. It was in tbis affair that Professor Gildtrsleeve, fr :m Charlottesville, on Gen. Gordcn'a sraff, was woun ded. His wound ig quite serious. Ue waa shot in tbe thigh and the ball lodged io the bona. It remains un ex traded. There was a fight Between the Mountain top and Waynesboro, on Wednesday, ia rvbici our cavalry whippad tne enemy a norsemfn, ana arovs tnem several miles, through Waynesboro'. Ths railroad bridge and depot at this placa were burned. Gen. Early told his men they had been outnumbered at Winchester, bnt that now he W"? reiLfjrcd, and if they would only do their duty, he would be in Wsucb( 3- ter in ttn daya. U does not seem to avoid the ene- iriy. The statement that the enemy's cavalry had set out on a raid is contradicted. Iu the cavalry fihtor Wednesday, Wickham's biig ade, commanded by Col. Munford, was engaged. Our 1cb3 waa abcut 50 kiLed and wouuded. These several repairs, which hive indaced Sheri dan to take tbe back track, are not made known to the Northern press, cr if they are, that press Btudiously suppresses tnem. We find in tbe Herald cf the 27 ib, a vague hint, to ths effort that Bheridan will probably bi compelled to halt in hia pursuit, because his line now (then) one hundred ru'Iea from Harper's Ferry, was to drawn out, that his communications were liable at any time to be severed by guerrillas. This is dot,e to pre pare the public mind for the announcement which tuna: tc-jii greet them, that Sheridan is retiring toward-j the Potoaiac. Greet them it certainly will, tor Gta.
