Death of Col. Patton. In the Baltimore Gazette, of the 27th, we find the following announcement: "Died, July 21st, at the College Hospital, near Gettysburg, of wounds received July 3d, Col. W. T. Patton, 7th Virginia infantry, son of the late Hon. John M. Patton, of Richmond."

ns in the field. The London Morning Post discovers some parallels between the battle near Gettysburg and that at Antietam Creek, and says: "For aught we know to the contrary, both may have at the same time marked the commencement and termination of a Southern invasion. The Northern soldiers certainly fight best on their own soil, for, except on the present occasion and at Antietam, they have never held their ground with such steadiness when coping with their Southern antagonists." The Army and Navy Gazette says most probably the course of events would be determined by the result of the battle of July 3d, and on it would depend whether Washington fell or Lee retired into Virginia with the loss of many men, but with a prodigious quantity of valuable stores and plunder. Lee cannot afford to stand still, and if he found Meade too strong for his army to attack again, he would get away from the sword of the Federal militia and volunteers which were gathering around him.

ul in driving them back. Yesterday a young man, calling himself Chas Rogers, dressed in full Confederate uniform, came into our lines and expressed a desire to join our command. I suspicioned him, and after a few questions, I was convinced that he was a spy. I threatened to shoot him, when he confessed he had been lying and that his name was Simon Blitz — in fact he convicted himself of being a spy. What to do with him was the next thing. I hated to shoot him, although he deserved it. July 3d.--My regiment behaved very gallantly in yesterday's fight with the enemy, frequently having hand-to-hand encounters. Today (3d) we experienced the same difficulty in getting the artillery on, and had to press a number of oxen for the purpose. After two halts for the column to close up, our advance proceeded to Columbia. They were met by detachments from three regiments, (45th Ohio, 2d Ohio, and 1st Kentucky,) said to be under command of Col. Wolford. A brief engagement followed, in which

ation of a degenerate race, provided he went there to establish law, order, and good Government. In the Emperor's letter to Gen. Foney, thanking him and the troops under his command, he alludes to certain orders which he wishes to see carried out; such as the creation of a stable form of Government, which, from lack of material, it will be difficult to construct. This does not, however appear to be the object of the expedition, but only an excuse vetting more serious intentions. On the 3d of July last Napoleon III. distinctly stated to the Chambers that it would be dangerous to allow America to seize the Mexican gulf, and thus dominate the Southern States and the West Indian. Juarez suffers from fear of Yankee aggression. This speech, of course, might have meant that the only way to arrest the designs of Brother Jonathan was by the establishment of a powerful Mexican empire capable of defending itself and its Southern neighbors against the lusty Republic of the North not at that

ge number of them. Kingston is a small county town, located upon the banks of the Tennessee and Clinch rivers, eighteen miles below Loudon. Gen. Forrest commenced crossing his command by ferry boats over the Tennessee river. While crossing over with the last detachment, the ferry boat sunk, drowning ten men. The remainder swam ashore. The following from the Marietta Confederate will show how the enemy is prosecuting hostilities in Tennessee: The Yankees occupied Winchester on the 3d of July, celebrated the 4th, and issued a number of the Winchester Daily Bulletin on that day, taunting the editor and proprietor, Mr. Slatter, with supplying his place in his absence. Gen. McCook occupied the residence of Mark Henderson as his headquarters, and Gen. Jeff. C. Davis (who killed Bull Nelson, the Kentucky Yankee General, last year,) occupied the residence of Harrison T. Carr, a member of the last Tennessee Legislator. They put guards around the houses in town, and a few of them wer

Monroe. We still have strength enough in the country and will bring it out. A. Lincoln., In a dispatch from the President to me on the 2d of July he says: "It you think you are not strong enough to take Richmond just now, I do not wish you to. Try just now to save the army material and personnel, and I will strengthen it for the offensive again as fast as I can. The Governors of eighteen States offer me a new levy of three hundred thousand, which I accept" On the 3d of July the following kind dispatch was received from the President: [Extract.] Washington, July 3, 1862--3 P. M. Major Gen. George B. McClellan: Yours of 5.30 yesterday is just received. I am satisfied that yourself, officers, and men have done the best you could. All accounts say that better fighting was never done. Ten thousand thanks for it. * * * * * * A Lincoln. Fourth of July letter to Lincoln.

tearing up and destroying the track of the Norfolk railroad. It is quite certain that heavy fires in that direction have been visible for several days. This quiet cannot, however, be, I suppose, of long duration, as Gen. Grant is doubtless nearly ready to astonish the country with "another brilliant movement." The two armies, however, are just now confronting each other, and estopped by the heat and dust from doing the other serious damage. From Suffolk and vicinity. On the 3d of July a party of Yankee cavalry, about sixty in number, went out from Suffolk to South Quay and burned all the houses at that place. They also obtained a small quantity of cotton and pork, a wagon and four mules, and returned the same day to Suffolk. This expedition is characterized by the Northern papers as a grand affair. On Thursday last, two brigades of cavalry, from Grant's army, passed through Suffolk toward Portsmouth. They were supposed to belong to Sheridan's command. Their des

l G. W. Smith, were employed to defend the crossings of the Chattahoochee, to prevent the surprise of Atlanta by the Federal cavalry. On the 19th, a new line was taken by the army. Hood's corps, with its right on the Manetta and Canton road; Loring's on the Kennesaw mountain, and Hardee's with its left extending across the Lost mountain and Marietta road. The enemy approached, as usual, under cover of entrenchments. In this position there was incessant fighting and skirmishing until July 3d, the enemy gradually extending his intrenched right towards Atlanta. On the 20th of June, Wheeler, with eleven hundred men, routed Ganard's division of Federal cavalry on our right. On the 21st, Hood's corps was transferred from right to left, Wheeler's cavalry taking charge of the position it had left. On the 22d, Lieutenant-General Hood reported that Hindman's and Stevenson's divisions, of his corps, being attacked, drove back the enemy, taking a line of his breastworks, but were compel
