' The English paper ha"e reoeived the North ern accounta of the first three days' fighting be lore Richmond, -and" notwithstanding the lying kecouht from which the had td Judge, they trea ted It as a severe j-ev arse to the Yankee army, and regarded McClellan's position one. m a- precarious The London Herald treats j the affair before Richmond as a decisive defeat of General McClel lan, and says the Confederate Capital is safe. It does sot believe? however, that the campaign in Virginia has ended, but supposes it will go on un til Europe stays the uplifted swords and in' the name of humanity enforces peace. The London Morning Post argues" that practi cally the scheme against Richmond his termina ted. It then points out the dangerous position cf McClellan's army. : The 'Times" says that these three days of Jane mean that the Confederate army is strong enough to hold its position in Virginia j for a time that may be indefinitely prolonged, and evidently the Federals will have again to begin the siege of Richmond, with a much worse chance than at first. j. ' The new American tariff continues to excite strong hostile comments from: the press. The "Times" bitterly denounces the spirit which re gards the tariff with satisfaction, because of its injurious effect upon Eugland in particular and. Eurppe in general. The Liverpool "Post", says the tariff will be looked upon in Great Britaa as a measure amounting almost to a declaration of war, and thus the unpopularity of the Northern States will not only be terribly aggravated, but it will impart something more than moral force to the cause. I The fortification bill has again been defeated in the House of Commons, and an! amendment cal culated to preserve to the Commons a due control over tho expenditure of public money was carried by a majority of. live against the Ministers. The bill for carrying out the islave trade, treaty had Anally passed the House of Commons. The Paris ' Patrie" asserts tjhat. France will never treat with Jaurez. Wheni the French army ban entered Mexico the Mexicans will be consulted, and their wishes sorupulouslj' respected- France will only quit Mexico .after the complete execution of tho luture treaty. ' i . The ' Prosse" says the date of Gen. Ferris' de parture for Mexico Is still doubjful. Lord Palmerston bad stated in Parliament that the British troops would not be! withdrawn from Canada. j Tbe recognition of Italy by Russia and Prussia bad been announced in the Italian Parliament.

That position of the cotton ifamine which we lopg since foreshatlowed as, sooner or later, inevi table, has at last arrived. Thetoek on hand hat been reduced so low, while the consumption and the export have both continued to be relatively so large, that speculation has become active and fe- yerish, and prices have been driven up to a height unprecedented in recent times. ; lhe stock, which last year was about l,20u0QO bales, nas now fallen to littlo more than 200,000; and of this quantity oily about 70,000 bales are American against 830, 0Q0 last year. The East India on haDd, too, is on ly one-4bird of the usual supply at this date, or C0,b00 bales, and a smallor quantity is on its way hither than at tho samo period in 1861. Under these circumstances there is no! cause for surprise in whnt has taken place. Last week upwards of half the whole stock in Liverpool changed hands, and prices are double what they are in ordinary times. Fair American, which! has often been at bd. lb., and even lower, was soM at 15d. In the face of these tacts, many persons Detrin, to fear the lime when the mills must be stopped and Lancashire must starve from an actual exhnus 1ion of the whole supply of raw materials which may bo very near at hand. THE CASE OF THE OVIETA RELEASE OF A BRITISH STEAMER. Charleston, July 25. Nassau advices to the 16th instant say tbat tbe case! of the steamship Ovieta, generally supposed ta be intended for the Confederate service, had beep brought before the British Vice-Admiral Court. Judge Betts, of the United States District Court of New York, had released the British steamer Labuana, captured with cotton 'at the mouth of the Kio Grande, as a neutral party not informed of the blockade. It was supposed that he would also release the steamers Bermuda and Circassian on the same ground. j FROM THE SOUTHWEST. Jackson, July 25.-rIt is reported that the low er Yankeeeel, with the transports, went below lat night. Great commotion was observed in the fleet above this morning. It i also reported that a large Federal force is embarking at Memphis supposed to be designed for a land attack on Vicks burg. COLONEL JOHN MORGAN'S PROGRESS THROUGH KENTUCKY.

C, March lTth;i862 , Gkn. L'.:0'B. Branch, - 1 " Comtnnnding District Pomlico : Gkxskal: I have to-report, in tceordaoca with military usage,fthe share of ray command in the operations of. lasi Friday, i Whitst in the teniporary command of the post of Newbern on. Thursday, my regiment was or- dered to CroatoO Works, under command of Lieut. Colonel Burgwryn, to assist Col. Sinclair?a regiment shoald the enemy land below " those works. Learning soon after that Col. Campe.ll wca at his post? I instantly transferred to him my temporary oommana, ana proceeaea 10 roaton to assume command of my regiment. When near there I met Col. Sinclair retreating, who in formed me that the enemy were landing in force at Fisher's Landine, and nearer still to the works I met Col. Campbell, who had juft ordered my .1 regiment to take the cars ana return to- ji'ort Thompsor. Before my return they hadbeen post ed by Lieut. Col. Burgwyn in the series of redans constructed by me on the right of the railroad, in the rear of Bullen's" Branch, extending from the railroad by "Weatherby's. At this road, as you will remember, I had constructed the night be fore a breastwork, commandintr the passage of the swamp, with the assistance of Mr. Hawks, a gen tleman whose skWl in Engineering, nntiriDg eficr-4 gy and zeal, I take pleasure in noticing favorably. And there was placed a section of Capt. Brora's Artillery, Lieut. Williams commarding, Capt. McRao's company of infantry r with a portion of the companies of Capt's.. Hays and Thomas 2nd N.C. Cavalry, dismounted. '' About two o'clock Friday morning, in compii ance with orders received, f pos-hed companies E, K and B of my risibt wing across the small swamp alluded to, so as to make my extreme right rest on tbe battery nt the Wetheraby r.oad. This-ss our position on Fri-tav morning, which remained unchanged during the day ,except that 2 companies of the 33d regiment, under Lieut. Col. Hoke, came to my assistance about nine o'clock, who w-:re placed in the redans vacated by my-right' conipa nies,wo were thrown beyond the swamp. You will perceive that my forces covered aicnost a? much ground as all the rest of our troops together. Taking my own position near the centre, a little nearer to the riebt, under Lieut. Col. B;irrwvn, about whoso position T was considerably unea'y, owing to the unfinished s4,ate of our works tere, I placed the left nn ir command of Mj. Carmi chael, and awaited tho engagemeu'. It becan on my left wing about ton minutes to eight o'clock, extending toward my right by .dej;rees,u'ntil about half past eight, when all the ttoopa in my com mand were engaged so far as the swamp referred to. The severest .fightfiig was on my .extreme left, the enemy advancing under, teller of .the woods to within easy range of our lirio9. When ever they left tho woods and entered 'among the fallen timber of the 'swamp in our front, "they were diiyen back in confusion by thu most, dead ly and well directed fire from our. lines, who with the greatest coolness watched for their appear rce Tho 6ght was kept up uniil about, twelve o clock, when information was brought to mo by C.ipt. J. T. Young, my Quartermadtermas'.e.-, who bare ly escaped with life in getting to me, that the pn my in great force had turned my left by fho rail road track at Woods' Brick Yard; had pillage 103 camp, were firing in reverse on ray left wing, aad were several hundred yards up the railroad, be tweentae and Newbern; a!?p, that h) th3 troops on the field wore in full retreat except my com mand. This being j-o, thpr waj.no alternative left me but to order an immediate retreat, or be completely surrounded by an overwhelming force. Without hesitatron T gave the order. My men j jumped out of tbe tronches, rallied, and forried in the woods without panic or contusion ; ind hav-1 ing first sent a mescnger with an order to Lieut. Col.'Burgwyn tofollow with the forces on the right, we struck. acre s the Weatherby 10M !nr Bricn'a Creek, with the intention of petting imo thePol lockville road. On arriving at the creek we found only '""ne small boat cs ili if carrying only threw nifHi in which to p is over. The cr-eic here too deep to ford, and about 75 yards wid. Some plunged :n and swam over, and wimmiDa:k over myself, I rode over to Cai-t. Whitford'a House, on the Trent, and throu iti the kindness of Mr. Kit Foy, a citizen, procured three more small . l,att carrying one on our shoulders fr ?m the Trent. with which wehurriei up to tho rrosing. In the meantime Lteut. Col. Barg-vyn airivod with the forces of tho right win in exo.'llent condition, and assisted me with the reut(t cool ness and efficiency in jotting the troops aoross,1 which, after four hours of hard labor and the greatest anxiety, we succeeded in doing lieUl. Col. B. saw the last man over before bo entered, the boat. I regret to sav Vhat lhrre men were drowned in crossing. I must hero mention fav-' orably tbe good conduct of the troops under thee trying circumstances, a large ankee lorcj being drawn up in view of W scouts about ono.mil away, and thjir skirmishers appearing just. as the rear pot over. Musician B. r. Johrson, Coin--panv B, deserves particular monti"!! for his exer tions, having fefried over the greater poition f the troops himself, assisted by a negro boy. Onco over, we were joined by 1-iieut. t.ol. Hke, 3Urd' regiment, with a largo portiou of bis command, and took the road for Irenion.. Wo marched 1 night and day, stopping at no time for ret or sleep more than four hours. We arrived at this placesafely at noon on . the lb;h fbn loyalty! and hospitality of the citizens greatly faci'itated'' our march, furnishing us cheerfully with -provi-: sions,'''wagonsJ shelter and guitlf-s. 1 r,gret' to say that many of our men, , d--pairirig of the. boats at the creek andd t-irmi'ied not to be. taken.,-' threw avay their guns to swirrf over; a serious loss to our Government, but scarcelv b!mable under the circumstances. This concludes the narration of the principal matters connected with my command during the engagement and re-?f: treat, ino numner ot my killed and woundi'd has not yet been ascertained. Our baggagaof course, was lost, but our sick were safely brcught; away. It remains for mo to speak ot the noble: dead we left upon tho field. Maj. A. B. Carmi-: chael fell about 11 o'clock, A.

C, on ths 2GfclxulU KENNETH QILLIS, Esq. He was a native .of Scotland,- - born An the Isle of Sky, North Britain, the Uth of August 1790. He received a, good classical education in his native land, and earn to this country when he was quHe a young man. He. was a "Geologist, anJ for the last thirty-lire years of his life was devoted to tke devel opment of the mineral resources of the South. H was a man of fine attammmtfrn-all the noble qualities .of tne Highland Seotek. At the time of his death, he was under contract for the. Confederate government for the purpose of some mineral researches, bat was taken sick while aRich mond making arrangements for bis departure f bis field of labor. The great simplicity his manners and freedom from affectation, readily gained the oon fidenoe and friendship of all who kneni him. In his advanced years, the infirmities ' of age greatly con tracted his useful labors, without impairing the rigor of his mental powers. But an illness rapidly pros trated his already enfeebled constitution, and admon ished him that his earthly pilgrimage was soon to ter minate. He lingered for several weeks, and met his approaching end with unshaken firmness and Chris tian resignation, and peacefully breathed his hut in the 72nd year of his age. He leaves a wife and children to mourn their loss. Truly an honest man has fallen -the noblest work of God." A FRIEND. Raleigh State Journal, Richmond Enquirer and Dispatch will please copy.
