OUR MILITARY BUDGET. _ NARY TIME. Samuel P. Dagg, of Rockingham county, Va., refugee, was committed to the Old Capitol yes- | terday, he having refused to take the oath of alle- giarce. Dage frankly acknowledgea that he had no sympathy with this section of the country, and only leftthe South toavoid conscription. He profe=ses great confidence in the ability of the South to establish her independence. He sees so much to bind him to the South that the Officials here regard it as cruelty to allow him to remain away from her, and they have there- fore determined, even against his consent, to | gend him back again. dratted. May be he won’t be ARBIVED. Some one hundred and fifty cavalrymen, dismounted, of the 5th cavalry (regulars), whore horses have broken down with ser- | vice, arrived in town last night from War- renton, for the purpose of refitting. The clash- ing of so many sabers on the pavements as they marched along the sidewalk to the Sol- diers’ Rest, made the Avenue musical for a time. AFTER DRAFTED MEN. Detachments from the Army of the Potomac | are daily arriving and leaving for the North to escorton the drafted men, and yesterday and | this morning detachments of six men each from the 12th and 123d New York, 122d, 138thand s7th Pennsylvania, and thirty-six irom New York regiments and the same number from New Jer- sey regiments in the third ermy corps, lft the Soldier’s Rest for that purpose.

BUT GETS ENTRAPPED HIMSELF. oe THE TERMS OF THE SURRENDER OF MOR- GAN UNAUTHORIZED, eg es Crxcrxnati, July 29.—Pegram, with between fifteen hundred and two thousand men, crossed the Cumberland river a day or two since, and moved north, towards Richmond. The pre- wailing opinion is that when Pegram started he was not aware of the capture of Morgan, and contemplated assisting him to escape. The disposal of our forces in Kentucky is such as will render it impossible for bim to either advance much further or escape. A special dispatch from Columbus states that Capt. Burbeck had no authority to accept the surrender of Morgan. He was nota regularly elected militia captain, nor had he any com- mand. Burbeck and a few companies were acting as guides against Morgan when the latter discovering our forces closing in, offered to surrender to him, in order that he might se- cure terms to suit himself. Burbeck at once granted the terms which Morgan proposed. A few moments afterwards Shackelford came up and took charge of the gang, refusing to rec- ognize the terms of surrender. RESUMPTION OF NAVIGATION ON THE MIssissirrt. ee TS ARRIVAL AT ST. LOUIS OF STEAMER DI- RECT FROM NEW ORLEANS, SEE ENG Sr. Lovis, July 27.—The steamer Imperial, the first boat from New Orleaas, arrived here this morning. A large crowd of merchants and citizens greeted her arrival, and a na- tional salu e was fired in honor of the reopen- ing of the Mississippi river. The steamer Albert Pierce left here this eve- ning for New Orleans with a large load of Private freight and a long passenger list. The Continental left here yesterday for the same port, heavily laden with Government stores. THE DRAFT IN PHILADELPHIA.

JULY 29, 1863. i Jus- | Longstreet at Culpeper—Ewell’s © rps alry. 5 [Dispatches to New York Times.J HFADQUAETERS AEMY OF THE POTOMAO, 25th July—6 p. m.—The positions of the rebel army are as follows: On Friday morning at 6 o'clock the advance of Hill's and Longstrect’s corps reached Uulpeper. The columns were well closed up, and their entire corps must be eoncentrated there before this time. Of this retrograde moyement there can be no question. For two days I had a favorable opportunity to take. birdseye views of both Hill’s and Long- street’s commands, and on one occasion was quite as nearas was prudent for a non-com- batant to be. Ewell’s corps, it is understood here, still occupies the Shenandoah Vuilley, | where it is guarding the fords on the Shenan- doah and the rear of the rebelarmy. This tact is supposed to explain the recent alarm about the alleged movements indicating that Lee was not retrerting, and was indeed preparing to return to Maryland. Another dispatch dated Amissville,.July | 25th, gives the particulars of a reconnoissance by three regiments of the Michigan cavalry brigade, and one section of Pennington’s bat- | tery, and an engagement with the rear of A. | P. Hill's corps, within half a mile of Newby’s | Cross Roeds. The enemy were driven before | our troops until the crest of a hill was reached near the cross-roads, when the enemy opened a brisk fire with artillery, firing shells, grape | and canister, and our advance was checked. This position was held for at least an hour, when, much to the astonishment of all, a regi- ment of the enemy’s infantry appeared in the Tear of the First Michigan, while supporting | the artillery above referred to. Gen. Custer, when made aware of this flank movement; at once ordered a charge to be made. Practicable under ordinary circum- stances, but just at this point an impractica- biiity, which he very speedily discovered. Major Brewer fortunately hesitated when or- dered to charge, and the result was a change | of orders. The section of artillery exposed | rapidly moved to the right, while the Ist Mich- | igan remained in position until the enemy had fired one volley, then wheeling te the right mto the road, a rapid retrograde movement brought them to the rear, and in a place of | comparative safety. While this movement was being executed on the Jeftot the road, the enemy advanced two | pieces to the erest ofa hill in front previously occupied by our skirmishers, and opened a galling fire upon our troops with grepe and canister, at the same time advancing a column of infantry in the same direction. A portion of our right was forced still further to the right, and the left was forced back into the road where the extreme left had preceded it. The enemy after this were held in check nt | every point, while the command, haying felt , the position, fell back to Amissyille. On the 25th our cavalry moved up to Gaines’ | Cross Roads, where the enemy’s pickets were | encountered and driven in, but the main com- | mand was beyond reach. As Gen. Custer’s | orders were solely to asc@rtain the position of | the enemy, in obedience to orders he fell back | to Amissville. Our loss during the two days’ reconnoissance will probably not exceed six killed and thirty wounded. Lieut. Sabin, of | Gen. Custer’s staff, was severely wounded in the side by a shell, and was left on the field. The enemy saw fit neither to parole nor take him away, and this morning he was brought iu. During the most exciting time of yesterday a horse in front of Col. Gray was Killed. Col. Gray’s horse fell over the disabled animal, and before the Colonel could regain his feet he was run over by & whole squadron of led horses belonging to the skirmisaers. His escape from fatal injury is attributed to the fact that many of the horses were barefooted. #7 The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph who is named Emperor of Mexico, was born July 6th 1832.

Our army is certainly in imperative need ef Test and recuperation generally, after the ter- rible wear ang tear of the late campaign; and es Lees army is evicently even more dis- tressed by ite late experiences, it is probable that the two armies p.use to breathe momen- tarily. It is by no means to the advantage of the Tebels to allow us the opportunity to fill up our decimated ranks at leisure by the drafted men who are to arrive in telling numbers very shortly, but they have now reached that point of exhaustion when they cannot well help themeelyes, and must needs. be content with standing strictly on the defensive. Meantime Jeff. Davis is endeavoring todraimn up conscripis; but as the whole number of men now remaining in the Confederacy liable to conscript duty, even under the sweeping thoroughness of the rebel conscript law, isless than 90,000, it will be perceived that Jeff.’s = | ability to raise an army on ascale commensu- rate with hisx€quirements, has quite passed away. > THE DRAFT. t.

THE REBELS DUBIOUS ABOUT THK POSI- TION OF AFFAIRS IN THE REAR OF LEE’S ARMY. eee THEY TAKE THE CAPTURE VERY HARD, sReGSs TS JEFF DAVIS PROCLAIMS SOME MORE. pea OF MORGAN HE APPOINTS A DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYER IN VIEW OF CONFEDERATE ‘“PRIALS AND REVERSES.” eee THE CONFEDERACY GANGREN “* LOVE OF LUCRE ge We have a copy of the Richmond Dispatch ot the 27th inst. It contains however, but liitle D WITH THE | interest, its most important items having been anticipated by telegraph. From its editorial we copy as follows: “The reports which we receive from Northern Virginia, with reference to the operations ofour own and the eremy’s forces are so confused that itis difficult to, arrive at the exact situa- | tion of affairs. By the Central train of last evening we have a report of a considerable engagement several days ago, between the corps of Gens. Long- street and Hill, and a heavy body of theenemy in the Blue Ridge. The exact tocation of this fight, or the particular day on which it oc- curred could not be ascertained, but our forces | are represented to haye achieved a decided ad- | vantage in the affair, and to have captured a large nimber of prisoners and several pieces of artillery. A very intelligent gentleman, who came up the Valley from below Winchester, says he learns nothing of any general ficht, but Knows there haye been a number of heavy skirmishes, in which were generally suce ul in repul- sing the enemy, who were pressing vigorously and clo-ely upon our rear. The stages proceeding down the Valley were stopped at Woodstock on Saturday morning, the enemy haying appeared ia formidable force at Strasburg, on the Valley turnpike, seventeen miles from Winchester and twelve miles below Woodstock. Where this torce came from is net known, though passengers report that they From Frort Royal to Strasburg is nearly twenty miles, or a tull day’s march for infantry. The passengers who came up on the returned stage from Woodstock, report that during Saturday night they heard heavy and brisk cannonading down the valley, and the pre- sumption was that Gen. Harly’s divisio! ly which was guardiug the wagon train, was en- gaged with the enemy. Those with whom we conyersed who bad any knowledge of the situation of affairs, think that no danger was to be apprehended of the capture of any considerable portion of our trains; nor did they deem the situation of our torces in the least critical. Capture of Morgan's Mén. The Dispatch takes the capture of Morgan and his gang very hard. It says: This, “the capture of Morgan’s men.” is a distressing blow to the Confederacy. It has stood and can still stand a harder; but the pride of the people was very much inter- ‘woven with the achievements of Morgan. We do rot like to judge after the result. But it seems tovs that the expedition which put a river, navigable and unfordable tor hundreds of miles, and fully commanded the whole dis- tance by the enemy’s ganboats, between him- self and all assistance, must have been rash and fool-hardy; nevertheless he has done the enemy great damage in thie long incursion. Proclamation by the President of the Con- federate States, Again do I call upon the people of the Con- federacy—a people who believe that the Lord reigneth, and that his over-ruling Providence ordereth all things—to unite in prayer and humble submission under His chastening hand, and to beseech His favor on our suffer- ing couatry. ‘ It is meet that when trials and reverses be- fall us, we should seek to take home to oar hearts and consciences the lessons which they teach, and profit by the self-examination for which they prepare us. Had not our successes ou land and sea made us self-confident and forgetful of our reliance on Him; had not love of lucre, eaten like a gangrene, into the very heart of the land, converting too many among us into worshippers of gain, and rendering them unmindful of their duty to their country, to their fellow-men, and to theirGod. Who then will complain that we have been chas- tened, or to despair of our just cause and the protection of our Heavenly Father? Let us rather receive in humble thankfulness the lessons which He has taught in our recent reverses, devoutly acknowledging that to Him, and not to cur own feeble arms, are due the honor the glory of victory, that from Him, in His paternal previdence come the anguish and sufferings of defeat, and that, whether in victory or defeat our humble supplications are dne at His footstool. Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President ot @hese Confederate States, do issue this my protiamation, and set apsrt Friday, 2ist da) of August ensuing asa of fasting, h i iation and prayer, and ‘I a0 hereby invite the people ot t lonfederate States to repair on thai day to their respective places of public worship, and to unite in Agkpication for the favor and tion of God who has hitherto conducted us safely through all the dangers that environed us. a In faith whereof &c.

They were formed in line under a guard at the Central Guardhouse, and marched thence fo the corner of Pennsylvania ayenue and Tenth street, where a bait was made, and the large crowd who had been attracted by the curious sight, availed themselves of the oppor- tunity to take a good look at the “mugs” of the gang. ‘The dram and fite then struck up the “Rogue's March,” and the party, followed by @ curious crowd of men and boys, were marched along Pennsylyania avenue to Seventeenth street, down the latter street past the War Department. and then back again to the Avenue, amd thence to the depot, where they are to be placed on the cars and given a free ride North—we hope never to retarn.

SS District Court, Judge Wylie—This morn- ing, the question arose in this court as to whether the property ordered to be sold under the confiscation act was to be sold subject to the claims of the creditors @f the parties in whose name the property has been Seized; m several ef the cases yarious parties having asked that their claims be allowed to intervene. Judge Wylie decided that the property was to be sold without reference to the claims, and that the Court would put the purchasers in possession, and that the creditors should look to the proceeds of the sales. Judge W. referred to the numerous cases likely to arise from the confiscation of the property, nearly all of which would involve the nicest points of law, but did not express an opinion on them, preterring that they be considered when they came fully before the conrt. In the case of the schooner Henry Walcott, of Philadelphia, which was libilled’as a prize, having been found abandoned in the Chesa- peake by the gunboat Satelite, and the schoon- er Wm. Ellis ina damaged condition, while on the voyage trom Baltimere to Matamoras, the Judge decided to restore her to the owners on their paying salvage. It will be recol- lected that the Walcott left Philadelphia and put into Baltimore for repairs, and ja going down the bay she was struck by a Government steamer and was in a sinking ; condition when found. The captain and crew went to Baltimore for assistance, leaving no one on the yessel, and in their absence the schooner Ellis and gunboat Suttelite found her sinking, but by hard work succeeded in keep- ing her afloat, and brought her to this port, where she was libelled and sold. Messrs. Eames and Wilson appeared for the Sattelite, Phillips for the Ellis and Gillet for the owners. Se OnPuans’ Court, Judge Purcell.—Yesterday, the will of Ellen Morton, deceased, widow of Jas. F. Morton, was fully proven, and testa- mentary letters issued to the executors, Anna Maria Pouch and G. F.Gulick. The testator bequeathes her personal property to relatives, and provides that the real estate Be sola by her executors and one third of the proceeds be paid to a cousin, another third to a cousin of hus- and, and the remainder to the Baptist Home Missionary Society of Maryland. The will of Henry Dayis was fully proven and admitted to probate. The will of Levi Bond, colored, was not ad- mitted to probate on account of it not having been witnessed properly, the parties signing as witnesses not haying been present when the testator sigsed it.
