Adj't&Insp'r Gen. From the Petersburg Express. EMPTED RAID ON THE PETEUS URG AND VVELDON RAILROAD. rom accounts received by the Weldon train which reached' here yesterday at 2.30 p. m., the iofoirmation we gave in Tuesday's Express of an attempted raid ; on the road somewhere between here and Weldon, is confirmed. On Tuesday af-. terriodn about 4 o'clock, bur advanced pickets re ported the enemy advancing, in numbers various ly eitimated at-from 1,000 to 1,500. Qursfcirmisb era (encountered the advance of the enemy at Eootre's I Mill,in Northampton connty, eight mjlei fiiocb Garjaburg, and poured such a destructive flre iinto the ranks of the invaders, as causrd tbera t cjheck their speed considerably.- The skirmish ing I was (kept Upat interval!', with considerable Vigor until li p. mM when the enemy retired ein tlNly but of eight. Finding all efforts to reach tielroad by thisi route unavailing, Gen. Ransni suspected they ; would'endeavor to reach the Me hertin Bridge at Hickjeford, by the Murfreesboro' r'oaijl, and immediately caused a reffiment and bt tery to move from that point. Yesterday at 12 oclock, when ihe train from Weldon rrached Jartatt's depot,'! ten. miles north .of Hickskrd, ar tiTl4ry firing was heard in the direction of tho coahty road apptoachiug the Ford, and apparent "1 some fifteen miles or more distant. We think it quite probable that our troops had encountered the! enemy coming in; that direction, as the Gen eral corauaanding had suspected. j lMs stated that in addition to the force which nioied out from Siiifolk, that a large number of Yankees landed at Murfreesboro', N. C , am Sun day! night last, where they proceeded to rob the cHi:p.jn8,and collect all the negroes tney couiu put their handB uoOn. 1 1 Gar j shurg and vicinity was; filled on Tuesday with Seeing citizens from Murfreesboro', N. C, jaclkson, N, C., and -other places eiUialt d in tiie rouie ol the inyaders. As many came on horse backs in- buggies, carriages, wagon?, etc.vit afford ed an excellent opportunity for Gen. Ransom to supply himself with horses, lie pressed all the animals, put mounted infantry on them, and was thus enabled to send a large force in pursuit of the raiders. S far, the road .between this city and Weldon basinot been reached at any point by the Vandals, aodj the trains are running regularly through as usual. The Govern menl has ample force to pro tect the road and intends to do sol but we hope l bat at least, a portion of the villains who are thus iovlaiding our scrfl and destroying tha property of ourj people, wit! bo captured. If they are not tjUedl thero i3Tiow a prospect of their being kept I in confinement at Richmond for some limj to eouae.. A 110 MAN TIC INCIDENT OF THE WAR. We find the following in the Knoxvlllo Chron icle of the Clh : ' " . 1 A brief article in a recent issue of one of the Richmond papers, concerning a feuiale lieutenant, reminds us of an atnu&ing incid"ent which took place a ihort time since, while wo wore en route for the South. A few stations below this city, through the kindness of tho conductor, wo were admitted into the ladies' car. Upon entering it, We-found there to be only one vacant seat, which waB half occupied By a very small, pale, and fera iiliino looking gent who appeared'to be about six teen years of ag and who was neatly equipped with - handsome soldier's uniform, lie wore a li?iurc-grl ;p. hih-hefcled-.bouts, and cavalrv ?purs that :would do credit to a knight. upoii gjiining his consent we seatcourself and com naenced a lively conversation. Our little-.friend bphaved like a penect gentleman, ami certainly pare markB cf intelligence, modesty, and refino iintnl. His hand wa; small, fair, and well shaped, resemblinfj; anything but that of a roug hand sun burnt soldier. His loot was in proportion to hit una and form, and w at onca ooaa to tho con- ilu&ion that ho was the pet son of some wealthy planter, ard never had endured tho trials and hardships of camp life. A feeling of interest jn the fair skinned and blue eyed youth, causrd us to ask, many questions which were answered in most gentlemanly manner. From him, we learn ed that be had freely participated iu tho battles of Kentucky; and Mississippi, and at bhiloh receiveu a dangerous wound also in an engagement in Kentuikv. He stated that he had been in rezu lar service ever efheethe commencement of the war, and that it was at all times the height of his ambition to meet the enemy upon the battle field At this point of conversation we noticed a friend abaad., who appeared to -be exceedingly diverted. Being eyed in a most scrulinous manner, the writer demanded an explanation for such unac- ' countable conduct few- a words explained all and now kind reader will you not be somewhat surprised when you learn that this beautiful boy was. no more nor less than the celebrated Mrs Clark, of Kentucky, who adopted the Confederate uniform m order to avengo tne blood of her hus fand, who jvas murdered by the hated foe. Much has been said by the Federal and Confederate press concerning her brave acts and soldier-like conduct, i Months ago we recollect of seeing ac counts in regard to her being wound ed and a pris oner in the'Norihern dungeons. She demanded and roeeiveu a regular exenange, anu again le- turneu cotue toulnern ranKs to battle lor a cause which is dearer to her than her own sex. We ad mit as a general thing, such conduct is not coun tenanced by those who profess to possess a "refined feeling, but the subject of this article undoubtedly liiincting from the purest motives, and is recog raized by nigh othciats. it mav be. in a sec re way, he, she or it, as the case may be,is of itjvalua ble service to our cause.

The Africa at New York brings European intilligenco to the 11th inst. Tho American questions was being widely discussed, both by the papers and in Parliament. Lord Palmerston requested Mr. Roebuck o drcp discussion on the question of the recognition of the South, as it was not desirable to resume it or to bind the Government to nledore themselves as to future action. Roebuck postponed his ansr till the 13tb, but thought a better a'nswer tban"his would be heard before that day. The impression created .by the late news of the rebel raid into Pennsylvania, was that the war was about to be broughtvto a close by the occupa tion of Washington and the dictation of terms from Jeff. Davis. Tbe-Timts ejects to hear of that even "in ,a week." The Army and Navy Gazetts, in view of the possibility fo Jefferson Davis overthrowing President L;ncolnv says: "Should another Government addre83 U3 from Washington, it may be difficult, indeed impossi ble, to refuse to acknowledge it." In France, the question received ministerial attention. Lj Nord, speaking of an interview had between our Minister,Mr. Dayton, and M. Drouyn'do L'huys, says thai it has reason' to be liye that Mr. Dayton did not declare that Amer ica would oonsider the recognition of the Con federate States as a cause belli,, and that.Drouyn do Lhuys asked Mr. Dajton whether a freth offer of mediation would i be well receivod, at VVashington ; upbn which Mr. Dayton said that it. would not. !j . - THE DISMISSAL OF BRITISH CONSUL MOORE STATEMENT IN PARLIAMENT. In the English House of Commons, on the 10th inst., Mr. Blake said that, according to the infor mation that had been furnished to hin, Mr. Bel sham, a British subject, went some time ago, to reside in Alatama, and in cons jquenc3 of his re fusal to serve in the Confederate army he was, in the month of April last, throe or four tune's dip- pod in a tank ol water, and on coming to the sur face each time was asked whether he would serve Or not. Ho refused to do so until he was appre hensive that his lilo would b"? forfeited, and tben he consented to servo under protest, ThPicase was then referred Dy his friels-to Her Majesty's Min ister at Washington, who directed the Consul at Richmond to enquiro into the subject. He had further been informed that Mr. Belsham had been sent to Montgomery, in order to have his case in vestigated,but that since that time hi9 friends had heard nothing of him, and he (Mr. Blake) wished to ascertain from the Under Secretary of State what had become of him. His question was, whether the remonstran.ee addressed by the British Consul at Richmond, by direction of Her Majes- J ty s Minuter at Washington, to the Confederate authorities, against the compulsion exercised upon Mr. R.- Redjnond Belsham, a British subject at Montgomery, State of Alabama, to force him to servo in tho Confederate army, had boon attended with effect : and whether there was any objection to state the substance of whatever communications had been received from Lord Lyons on tho sub-, ject. Mr .Layard. the case qt Mr. Belsham has been brought to the. notice of Her Majesty's Gov ernment. : Tho honorable gentleman is under a misapprehension when he says that the case was brought before ilie Confederate authorities undor the direction of Lord Lyons. L-rd Lyons had no official communication whatever with the author- ties of the Confederate State?, and, therefore, no action could have been taken under his direction. But Mr. Moor, the British Consul at Richmond, did make a representation to thi Confederate Gov ernment with regard to the case. Mr. Belsham, wii, as he states, cruelly treated. Indeed, he was exposed to torture to compel him to take servico in the army. Unfortunately, bia case was not the only one. We have h.il numerous similar cases brought to our notice, but they have generally taken place at a distance from Richmond, and the Confederate authorities have expressed their re gret that they should h-ive. taken plf.ee. A bill was brought before the session of tho Uoniederate Awcrnh'T to einnower tha Stato to enlist foreign ers in tne arm). xu v.t.i patii Mm. mitteo was appointed to inquire into the treat ment of British subjects whq have been imprison ed, mo.-tly for refusing to -sjrve in the Contede- rato army. Mr. Moor mado numerous represen tation? to the Confederate Government in respect to those acts ol cruelty and illegality. It is well known, that in consequence of those representa tions tho Confederate IStatesGovernment suspend ed Mr. More's exequatur, and he was compolled to leave tho Confederate States. Her Majesty's Minister for Foreign Affairs instantly sent in structions to Mr. More to make str me represen tations to the Confederate Government with re spect to the treatmentwf lir'tish subjects but those instructions did not reach Rrchmond till he had left. But L. trust that, taking into account the action of the Confederate Government in this matter, such caes will not occur again. I cannot tell where Mr. Belsham now is.for we have beard no more of him since tho statement was received from Mr. More. Mr. Gregory. I wish to ask the under Secre tary lor Foreign Affairs two questions, which I think be can answer at once. The first is, when he spoke of torture being applied to British sub jects, did he distinctly mean "torture," and did he mean to imply that the torture was applied on the part of the Confederate Government ? Hear. The second question is, whether, inasmuch as this- is a very grave aflair, he will lay all the pa pers connected with the case on the table of the House ? ;t Mr. Layard. I am afraid that torture, in the strict sense of the word, has been inflicted. But I am bound to say that these were committed by persons apparently acting under the authority of the Confederate liovernment, Dut at a Uistanc from the seat of Government. "Hear, hear." With regard to the papers I will answer my hou orable friend on Monday..'" THE WOUNDED AT GETTYSBURG. A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, writing from Gettysburg on tlie 17tb, gives a list of the Yankee wounded who have bean in the hospi tals in that vicinity, except two divisions. He says : . The number will aggregate about 10,0o0. Of these there are still here about 3,500, over half of which are amputations. : Of the latter it is esti mated that at least one id three will provo fatal The deaths in hospital so lar are about ten per cent, of the original number.. TUB REBEL HOSPITALS. The rebels established their hospitals on tho southwest and northwest of the towr, in the Pennsylvania College, the Seminary, and in all the private houses on the roads by which they marched. There are great numbers at and" noar Cashtown. Many of thrse we should not have discovered at once had they .not been so destitute that they were obliged to visit us for supplies, as our army count rmarchod to bead the enemy off instead of erasing him in the rear REBEL WOUNDKD IN HOSPITALS NEAR liETTYt BURU TO WHOM RATION'S HAVE BEEN IS SUED.

The aboveiire of courij?, in addition to the two or three thousand in or own hospitals. - - THE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE ABM"T. If-tbe rebels excel us in the d isei rdine of the army, it certainly does not extend to the Medio;U Department. I visited the Pennsylvania College Hospital early one morning, before breakfa, with the Medical Inspector, Dr. James. It ir a large structare, very well ad&ptea for hospital purposes, situated in the centre of beaatifal grounds, with unobstructed circulation of air, acd yet the atmosphere within was close and fetid,and the stench arising from wounds and filth was in sufferable. - The wounds of the patients were inflamed and the bandages dry. When asktod where their nurses were, they .said they only had one or two to each floor, and they could not attend them all. In each corner was a pile of dirt, and the floors were wt from the careless spilling of water when thewounji; were wet We went into the yard, and there were some two hundred slightly wouncel and convalescent rebels, able to cook arid draw their own ration?, eating their breakfasts, r In our hos pitals these would have been made to take their watehes w th the helpless as nurses; but they would not raise a hand to help their more unfor tunate follows. So true is this that many of them express the most ardent desire to get into Union. hospitals, where they will have pl-oper atten dance. ; YANKEE HUMANITY. The most Christian and enlightened Govern ment and people of "the Unked States of North America have adopted very singular modes of ftxhibitiog their virtue to the outside barbarians in tho South and m i.urope. We extract a few items from the NortBern papers to show how in finitely tender and humane the Yankees are. "W ashington, July 19.- Agents of States charged with the care f the wouLdtd come hith er from the field of Gettysburg and state that thousands of rebel wounded are yet unprovided with shelter or surgieal treatment. This is ac counted for from the fact that our surgeons have gone with Gen. Meade's army. It is also slatod that the War Department de clines to call out volunteer surgeons from the Northern cities, because of the malpractice .hat has re'ulted from such f rrsnements heretofore.'' Sixteen days aftor the battle, not one or two, t?n or twenty, but thousands of Southern soldiers are left on the ground, with no covering but the sky, no surgical treatment, nnd, doubtless, little food. Ihe entle citizens Of Gettysburg, who locked their pumrs up, arid sold vater to their own soldiers, pass and repdfs these wounded reb els day aner day, and pay no more attention to them than so many dying dogs. Indeed thv begin to complain that dead and wounded rebels smell badly. "Uur burgeons have gone with Gen. Meade's army." Supposing that excuse to ba good, what are we to Diase of the other "the "War Department declines to call oul volunteer surgeons from the Northern cities because of the malpractice that has resulted from such arrangements heretofore "? This means plainly that surgeons and nursf s from altiaQore areto.be kept back until the wounded rebels have perished to a nan. History nver before recorded an instance in which a civilized Government interposed to prevent charitable pep- sons lrom aiding the wounded, thereby evincing its purpose to murder in cold blood those who had been mangled in battle. This is the way the Yankee humanitarirns raise the black flag over the dying. "Who can tell the horrors of that luckless field of Gettysburg, and who will paint the fiend-" ish form of Lincoln and Seward driving off the volunteer surgeons and nurses ? The Delaware Republican t tates that there are now several thousand prisoners at Port Delaware, their number having been greatly increased with in thrfpresett weik. "Tha rebels suffer immense I3, many of them being sick. On Thursday last 11 - less than seventeen were interred, having bien conveyed to the adjacent shore of New Jersey for ber of prisoners, the tionately increased." mortality wuT t,hpW That is right, most Christian Yankees. Kill off the prisoners in your hands as fast as possible ; show them no mercy ; heap up wrath against the day of wrath. . It is not to.be wondered at that a people so pe culiarly' mild in their treatment of the" Coxffede rate wounded shauld neglect their own. Still, the excessively brutal indifference recorded in the following- statement, strikes us with horror and astonishment : At the first repulse of Port Hudson, General Banks sent no flag of truce to bury his dead, which remained exposed between the lines for three days. At the end of that tiine General Gardner sent a flag to Banks, requesting that he would remove them. .Banks replied that he h ad- no dead there. General liardner then directed Gen. Beale to send, a flag to Gen. A.ugur, and re quest him to Cury the dead of his division, wbiJh lay in front of the 1st and 49th. Augur replieH tnat ne aui not tninK ne naa any ueau mere., uu he wou d grant a cessationof hostilities to ascerla Accordingly parties were detailed to pass thedead bodies over to the Yankees, and 260 odd were te-' moved from this portion of the work?, and wiihr them one wounded man, who had been Ij in there th?ee days without water, and was fly blown from, head to foot. Banks was unwilling. that his men should witness the carnage which had been committed. A great many of the deadv must have perished daring the three days' intrr val.
