The map will able ' | s | | the country reader to form a correct idea of all | the places attacked, and will mark the course pur- sucd by the erowd. THE SITUATION. | Another great victory has been aided to the | list of the Union armies have doenachieving in the West. General Grant off- | cially annonnees the ful! of Jackson on the night of ¢he L6th instant, at which time General Joe Jolin- ston abandoned it, and made a full retreat towards | the East with his army ina disordered and unpro- } vided condition. General Sherman is of opinion that the greater portion of them must perish from Gcat and want of water. We give « fine map to- day of the capital of Mississippi which has so op- portunely fallen into our hands, thus completely annihilating the rebel power in the great valley. On tho 6th inst., two days after the capture of Vicksburg, eight steamers left that place, by order of General Grant, for Natchez, having on board twelve hundred soldiers under the command of Gen. Ransom. On arrival the Genera captured five rebel officers, and, crossing the river took a bat- tery of nine guns, four of which were ten-pounder Parrotts. He then marched back into the country mine miles and captured two hundred and forty- geven boxes of ammunition and nine more guns. The rebels fled in consternation before him. On returning to Natchez he found five thousand head of Texas cattle and four thousand hogsheads of sugar, all of which he took possession of in the name of ‘he United States. Two thousand head of cattle were sent to General Banks. The remain- flor were sent to Vicksburg. Tn Louisiane they captured more prisoners and & number of teams loaded with ammunition. Over two million rounds of ammunition were brought back to Natchez with the teams captured, and two handred and sixty-eight thousand rounds, besides artillery ammunition, were destroyed. This was doing very well for General Ransom’s expedition. General Grant officially confirms the capture of Yazoo City by General Herron, and all the sub- siantial facts in connection with it which we pub- lished in our columns yesterday. mphs which Information was yeceived at Cairo on Saturday afternoon that a force of rebels, three hundred or four hundred strong, would encamp that night ata point three miles from Rienza, whose inten- tious wore to attack Camp Davis, a strong stock- ade fort six miles sonth of Corinth, next morning, they being under the impression that the garrison was nearly all away upon a scout in Alabama. A detachment of the Sixth Mlinois and the Third bat- talion of the Sixth Ohio cavalry were immediately sent forward, who completely surprised and cap- tured the whole force. Very little was known yesterday in Washington of the exact location of either Gen. Meade’s or Gea. Lee's armies, but it would seem that the posi- tion of the rebel general was better anderstood than that of Gen. Meade. It appears that the intercepted despatches of Jeff. Davis to General Lee contain an order to fall back into Virginia, as a sufficient number of troops could not be raised to protect Richmond. It is rumored that the major generalship in the United States Army vacant by the retirement of General Wool will be tendered to General Grant; Dit so far it is only rumor, An important military movement ix going on in North Carolina. A oavalry expedition left New- ‘bern on the 18th, which will penetrate the interior for a distance of one hundred miles or more. Its object is to make extensive destruction upon rail- road bridges, culverts and railroad connections.

We spread before our readers this morning & budget of very interesting and suggestive ex- tracts from a pher af tho leading pubtic journals of the Southern States. which shaw that the rebellion is literntly foundering in the Now Orleang on the 16th instant, arrived at this ( NEW YORK HERALD, Vi\UKSVAY, JULY 23, 1863. m conscription, and scok. | A Mélttary Parnitel—Antictam and Get- tyeburg. | The spiteful and anserupuisus animus of the radical journals was never more forcibly illus trated than in their first issues after the battle of Gettysburg, wherein that victory was engerty seiged upon to disparage General MeClellan’s military abilities by contrasting it and what it | Was supposed would follow with the battie fought at Antictam on the 17th of Septembor lest. It is far from our intention to do or aay any- thing that might in the slightest degree detract from the morits of General Meade, as be is & modest and worthy gentleman and:an able ofi- cer, whose reputation is perfectly seeure, even should our great strategic critics of the radical press take it into their heads to ring the chan on this second escape 2€@ for the purpose of replacing him by a general of their own stripe. We propose merely at this time to state a few facts regarding the battles fought at the above mentioned places, and will leave our readers to draw their own conclusions as to the justice of the criticisms of our radwal contemporaries. The army brought into the action at Antic- tam by General Lee, according to the best au- therities, athounted to between ninety and one hundred thousand men. The strongest position in that section of country was selected by the rebel general, in front of Sharpsburg, to mee! our advancing forces. His line of battle ex tended aronnd the crest of elevated heights, forming the are of a circle, with his front and flanks weal covered and protected by the Pote- mac and Antietam rivers. In this highly ad- vantageous position he awaited the attack from ourarmy. The forces at the disposal of Gene McClellan on the 17th did not exceed eighty- five thousand men, a8 two divisions of his amy did not reach the battle field until the following day, With this force, inferior in numbers to that of the enemy, and suffering under the prea- tive of the recent disastrons operations of Pope, Ceneral McClellan assumed the offensive and advanced at once to the attack, and after four- teen hours bard fighting gsined a victory, driv- ing the enemy trom @gveat portion of the battle last diteh, and that fre ichimond to Mabile the impression is hecaming very strong that their great Relshazzar has been weighed in the balance and fonnd wanting, and that b ng- dom is passing away into the hands of the Medes and Persians. He confesses himself his desperate situation, in his requisition tor every white man within his contracted dominions between the ages of ighteen and forty-five for immediate service in hisarmy. But what foree can he raise by this sweeping and compulsory conscription? In the first place, the able-bodied white men capable of bearing arms within the so-called “Confederate States’ have already been so nearly exhausted by past conscriptions that we dare say not over an average of one hundred is jeft to ten thousand of the population. In the second place, it is not very likely that Davis will be able to raise any conscripts under this last proclamation outside the lines of bis armies; and by the lines of his armies his power to en- force his proclamation is limited to the lower part of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, and with North Carolina en the verge of a revolt against ber rebel mas- ters. One of the Ricbtond papers calls for martial law over the whole confederacy, in order th: among other things, foreigners may be snapped up for the army, who are now in crowds seek- ing an escape under the plea of allegiance to some foreign prince or potentate. Another Richmond journal felicitates the community upon the prospect of a good riddance of all the gamblers, thieves and loafers of the streets through the merciful drag-net of the conscrip- tion, Another never-say-die rebel organ is urg- ing the necessity of preparing for s guerilla war, on the land as on the ocean, or a warfare for a Southern confederacy like that of Black Hawk for what he considered his State rights, or like that of Billy Bowlegs for his little inde- pendent confederacy in the swamps of Florida. Of course the plea for such a system of war- fare is an admission that the armies of Jeff. Davis are so far demolished that his cause is beyond redemption. i The Richmond Enquirer of the 17th, in a busi- ness like way, announces that they are buying gold in Richmond at seven dollars and seventy- five cents premium and selling it at nine dollars premium. In other words, they are selling one dollar in gold for ten dollars in Confederate serip. To-morrow it may be fifteen or twenty dollars in senip for a dollar in gold, according to the numbers of the soldiers remaining to Joe. Jobnston after his expulsion from Jackson, Mis- sissippi, on the back track for Alabama. Nor cau we suppose that any very large supplies of the groceries carried away from Pennsylva- nia by Lee’s army have as yet reached Rich- mond, since coffve is still selling there at four dpliars and fifty cents per pound, and tea and sugar at corresponding prices. At sueh rates for these and other essentials of subsistence in Virginia, we may be sure it was nothing but the extreme necessity of self-preservation that hur- ried Lee away from the cheap and bountiful stores even of Maryland into the impoverished and destitute regions on the south side of the Potomac. The journals of Mobile are gloomy. They try to put a good face on the mat ter; but the best they can do is to advise the women and children to leave the city before Grant encloses them and cuts off their avenues of escape. The Chattanooga Kebel mourns the abandonment of the beautiful grain crops of Middle Tennessee by Bragg to the tender mercies of the Yankees; and thus, from Richmond to Charlestoa, and throughout all the cotton States, the late foolish exultations ever what Lee was expected to perform in his Northern invasion have given way to the terri- ble realities of the disastrous defeat, expulsion and pursuit of Lee, the capitulation of Vicks- were within « mile of Vinton, on the Marietta and | burg and Port Hudson, the defeat of Price & Co. Cieianati Railroad, at half-past five o'clock yes- torday morning, after encemping at the town of McArthur, Vintom county, on the night previous. He passed through Nelsonville, Athens county, at at Helena, the demoralizing retreat of Bragg, the Yankee occupation of Morris Island in field. After this saugninary contest eur. troops buried, including those killed at South Moun- tain, about 4,000 of the enemy's dead. Their wounded, according to the ratio.of our own casnalties, would amount to five times this number, which, including the prisoners taken, makes their loss about thirty thousand. Our own losses, according to General McClellan's report, were fifteen thousand two huggred and twenty men, among whom were ten general officers. In one corps alone (Sumner's) forty- one commissioned officers and eight bundred and nineteen enlisted men were killed, while four general officers, eighty-nine other commis- sioned officers and three thousand seven hundred and eight enlisted men were wounded in the same gallant corps. Other corps suffered se- verely, and the entire army was badly cut up and greatly exhausted from hard fighting, want of rest and food. Its ammunition was nearly consumed, and had to be replenished from the supply trains several miles in the rear. Pro- visions were also to be brought up, and it was not until late on the following day that these’ necéssary arrangements were completed. In the meantime the wounded were removed and taken care of, and orders were issued for a re- newal of the attack at daylight on the19th. The advance at that time disclosed the fact that the enemy had recrossed the Potomac during the night, and General McClellan did not think his army was in sufficient force or in condition to follow them across the river at that time. Now, at the battle of Gettysburg it is well known that General Meade had a much larger army than McClellan at Antietam. It is also understood that, with the exception of the at- tack by Reynolds, General Meade selected his positions and acted on the defensive. The ad- vantage in position was therefore with our troops at the battle of Gettysburg, while at Antietam the enemy possessed that superiority; we doubt if any greater punishment was icied upon the rebel army at Gettysburg than at Antietam. They were both victories, won from a determined and brave enemy after long and desperate struggles. The difference consisted in this—that after General Meade’s victory Wasbingtgn, Baltimore, Harrisburg and other places were drained of troops to make up the casualties incident to bis battles. This was the correct inilitary policy, and should have been acceded to when it was so urgently pressed upon the department by General McClellan after Antietam. But ke was left to do the best he could with his diminished army, while at least fifty thousand men were within supporting distance at Baltimore and Washing- ton, where they could be of no possible service. Then, again, it should be borne in mind that at Antietam Lee was within a mile of the Poto- mac, with several fords directly in his rear and the water at a low stage, while at Gettysburg he was fifty miles from the river and the water above a fording stage at all points. Lee croseed the Potomac only one day after the battle of Antietam, while ten days elapsed be- fore he crossed the same river after the battle of Gettysburg. If, then, there is little cause to find filt with Meade for not immediately following up the fruits of his victory, there is aseuredly less for censuring McClellan for acting on the same prudential considerations. The obstacles that | compelled the delay of the one under circum- stances so much more favorgble fully justify the cantion of the other, No competent mili- tary critics have been found to condemn the respite given by Meade to his army, worn out as it was by forced marches and three days desperate Gighting. The reswits of his present | operations will, we are satisfied, justify the wisdom of his course. He will cut up and cap- ture Lee’s army, without incurring the fearful lose of fife and the risks to which he would have been exposed had be attempted to follow up at once his exhausting victory at Gettysburg. So far as General MeCiellan is concerned there is but one opinion ajnong Charleston harbor, the ignominious collapse ef | impartial wilitary men, and that is that the rebel Morgan's invasion of Indiana and the miserabledailure of Joe Johnston to hold tbe ten o'clock yesterday morning, with our forces | city of Jackson. close apon him, The extracts which we give from the Southern Against such stubborn and crashing facts as these, and the gloom, despondency and demora- H he acted wisely in not resuming the battle of Antietam onthe 18th of September, and also in not crossing the Potomac immediately after the rebel army.

It is worthy of remark that all raids into the free States have failed. The former raid into Indiana was a failure, and Lee's two,great raids across the Votowac have resulted in re- pulse. The raids of our troops into the South have, on the contrary, been eminently success- ful. Colonel Grierson, an gfficer who so greatiy distinguished himself by bis brilliant raid, explained the reason of Northern success, Te says it is because the Southern confederacy is a, shell. Once get inside and there is no serious opposition. There is no population, or it is so sparse as to be unavailable. Now the opposite is the case at the North. Loe and Morgan in their invasions expected to find the Northern States shella; but though we have sentso many troops to the war, they discovered to their astonish- ment that there were as many behind, and so far from a shell, they struck upon a solid, living mass, which rolled back the invaders as the waves are repelled by the rocks on the shore. Their rebellion, therefore, must go down from want of men if from nothing else. The army of Pemberton, paroled by General Grant at Vicksburg, are described as deserting in great numbers, lest they should be ex- changed und have to fight agaip. ‘The demoral- ized army of Johnston has been defeated at Jackson. The army of Bragg has recently shared the same fate in Tennessee; and there seems no help for the sinking fortunes of the confederacy. The conscription has failed. The Richmond Kxaminer admits that the utmost it will produce is one hundred thousand men. Is not the rebellion, therefore, on its last legs, and a bright prospect opgned for a termination of this terrible war and the complete success of its simple object-—the restoration of the nion from the lakes to the Gulf of Mexico? Tue Caravre or Ja —Tue Renerssonx Con.arsixa.—-Official despatches from General Grant to the government bring us the infor- mation that Jackson, Mississippi, is evacuated by the rebels under Johnston, and General Sherman says that the rebel army will probu- bly perish from thirst and “heat. Gen. Grant adds that the rebel army, which was captured and paroled at Vicksbnrg, bas broken up inio smal) squads, and that the rebel soldiers re- fuse to return’ to their camps or submit to the authorities. This news shows that the rebel- lion has collapsed at the West, and the deser- tion of an entire regiment of Mississippians from Bragg’s army, 96 announced in a Rich- mond paper, is another evidence of the same fact. If Lee be properly pressed and Charles- ton taken, we shall not be at all surprised if the confederacy should suddenly crumble away at the Kast also, and the news of our successes be followed by the skedaddling of the entire rebel government to foreign parts. Even if, driven to desperation, the rebel lead- ers should gather their scattered and dis- couraged forces into one army and, like Na- poleon, test their fate by a Waterloo battle, they will assuredly meet with a Waterloo de- feat. Weare therefore justified in predicting that, whether Jeff. Davis runs or fights, the great rebellion will be over in six months. Our Own ano tHe Reset Losses at Get- tyswura.—General Lee, on the last day he was in Maryland, said at his headquarters that he had lost, since his departure from Culpep- | per, fifty thousand men. Hitherto we have had | no estimate of the Confederate loss so high us | this, and it is possible that the General may | have exaggerated a little in favor of round num- ; bers and in the warmth of argument against another battle. But it seems certain that the | rebellion reccived at Gettysburg the severest — blow that has been given. Twelve different | hospitals established by the rebel surgeons: at | Gettysburg, with the wounded of eleven divi- | sions of the rebel army, fell into our hands upon ; our eceupation of the place, and the wounded | in these aggregate five thousand three hundred | ‘and seventy-four. {(n addition to this there are | in gur own hospitals at the same place about | three thousand wounded rebels. From Win- | chester we learn, on rebel authority, that there | are five thousand wounded mon of the Southern | publish them Onur killed will amount to about three thousand.
