most active manner against our right flank and our centre. But the heavy onset throughout the day was continued against our left flank; and on that side the main battle was fought.--For seven hours did Johnston make good his resistance against more than double his numbers, composed in part of the flower of the regular Federal army. Terrific as was his loss, he still held his advanced position, and was still maintaining a successful encounter with his adversary, when, about four o'clock, Gen. Davis, finding the attack elsewhere upon our lines to be little more than a feint, advanced the centre to the support of Johnston, and decided the fortune of the day. It would be idle to attempt to apportion the credit of the day among our able and consummate Generals. The first praise is due to Gen. Beauregard, who planned the defence, and prepared so admirably and completely the fortune that was won. Each division of our gallant army did its duty, its whole duty, without faultier or defa

nue to stimulate the production of cotton, not in one, but in many countries.--Who can tell that the misfortunes of America may not prove the salvation of India? Revolutions in commerce far more remarkable have frequently occurred, though to the Southern mind such a contingency may at present seem beyond the bounds of possibility. In the meantime the fortunes of war seems to favor the Northern States. Instead of advancing upon the Capital, which according to the public boast of Mr. Jefferson Davis' adherents, ought to have been in their possession a month ago, they have not only made a renegade movement, but they have evacuated Harper's Ferry, a post of great importance, which they had taken all possible pains to fortify. It may be a wise thing of the Southern President to retreat under the circumstances, but it was unwise to boast of his intentions of taking Washington when he had not the means of doing so. General Scott has managed better. He has kept his plans entirely to

hed himself by his bravery in the battles of Palo Alto and Reseca de la Palma. In August, 1846, he was made 1st Lieutenant, and called by Gen. Taylor to his personal staff, on which he served until January, 1849. For his "gallant and meritorious conduct in the several conflicts at Monterey, Mexico," he was breveted Captain; and again, on the desperate field of Buena Vista, he was breveted Major for "gallant conduct." Since the close of the Mexican war, he has been attached to 7th Infantry, U. S. Army. Upon the dissolution of the Union he resigned his commission, and joined his fortunes with those of his native State. In recognition of his merits, he was appointed by President Davis Brigadier General in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States, and placed in command of one of the corps d'armee sent to crush out the Abolition traitors of the Pan Handle. He died nobly in the performance of his duty, the first general officer to fall in the cause of Southern independence.

mmanded by Captain Havons, was also bound to this city from Cienfuegos. She is 284 tons, was built in 1855 at Falmouth, and belongs to Portland. She rated A 2, and is owned by Messrs. Ross & Sturdivant. The Albert Adams, Captain Cousins, was built at Dennisville, Me., in 1852. She is 192 tons, rates A 2, and is owned by the captain and others. She belongs to Boston. Like the Dunning, she left Cienfuegos for this city. The Herald also devotes several columns to the privateer "Jeff. Davis," whose prizes are valued at $225,000." This trim little craft has had the audacity, it seems, to run way up amongst the Nantucket Shoals, and has of course created much excitement among the Yankees on that coast. The Herald's Newport correspondent gives the following account of the privateer's operations: Capture of the brig John Welsh. The John Welsh, Capt. Fifield, left Trinidad, Cuba, on the 22d of June, for Falmouth, England, having on board a cargo of 300 hogsheads and 475
