Hampton's is one of the boldest and most brilliant tilings of the war. Leaving Reams' Station on the Weldon Rail Road, ten miles South of Petersburg, passed heBind Grant and took*liis"beeves from a position , immediately in the rear of the centre of bis lines. Sycamore Church, tbe point at vfrhiSb the captures of cattle, prisoners, <fcc., was made is about.fifteen miles East of Petersburg, and five miles South by ' East of Prince George Conrt House. We are .informed that Gcu. Hampton started for a point on James river, South of City Point, i where he had learned the cattle"were dn pasliihn* l,?i f 11* a ivin*nl\ K a ir,f ni?aar\f a/1 n (MliU) uuu >vunu vii iur iiirwvai no j u tot luj/tuu a letter addressed to Grant which contained the information that the cattle had. heen removed to Sycamore Churcl). The letter also assnrcd Grant that the beeves were of very superior I quality, and expressed apprehensions, that the grazing in Prince Gebrge would be found insufficient.. Gen. Hampton changed his route according to the information given him by the intercepted epistle. The affair on Thursday, in which the enemy attempted a reconnoissance in the 'direction of Poplar Spring Church, was much more inconsiderable and insignificant than we bad been led to suppose. If any fighting took place on this part of the. line*?West of the XVcldon Kail Road?it was of so trifling a character as to be beneath General Lee's notice.From information received Sunda} n:ght we are disposed to believe that Grant lias cither given up his designs on the Southsidc Rail Road or is pretending to have done so. There v is little doubt that he has been transferring his troops from his extreme left. There was sharp picket firing along the line South of Petersburg on Sunday. Gen. Halleck tells a curious story, which shows Jomini's remarkable knowledge.of military strategy, or what the French call strategio intuition. Having been summoned to the Imperial headquarters at Mayence, at the beginning of the campaign of Jena. Napoleon said to him, ttI am delighted that the first book which demonstrates the true principles of war has ap peared in my reign. No work like yours is taught, in our military schools. Wc arc going to fight Prussians. I have called you near, me because yon have written on the campaigns of Frederick tire Great, because you know his army, and have studied the theatre of tho, war." Jomini asked for four days to get his horses and equipage froth the headquarters of Marahal Ncy, and added that he would join his K Majesty at Bamberg. "Why at Bamberg I" said the Emperor, "Who told you that I am > going to Bamberg ?" "The map of Germany, sire." "There are a hundred roads on that HV v : j v i? itv,..

"Very well," said Napox ' leoi>. "Go to Bamberg, bnt <3on't say. a word about it; no one should know that I am going to Bamberg."

It will interest our readers to know, something of this new apparition that has burst i.nnn Yankees iust in time to fill the place ol the t lamented Alabama, l'lioro are interesting particular* relative to the port at which she was fitted out, her* , armament, !&; wliich it is not permissable'to publish, j It must suffice for the preseut to knew that she is believed to be the fastest steamer afloat, and that her / commander is Capt. J. Taylor Wooi^ as sagnciousi 1 enterprising and intrepid an officer as ever trod a quar < ter-deck. ITo it was, it will be recollected, who, atr the head of a small band, captured the Yankee steamers Satellite and Reliance, in the Rappahannock, twelve months ago. Without the intorv&tion of < some untoward accident? which human foresight is . powerless to avert, we expect him to rival, if not exceed the havoc done tho" Yankee commercial navy by the Alabama. v 1 - Hicarts from .Ucinphi!!. ; Prirnte letters front Memphis, as well as tho ] Bulletin, tell ludicrous stories of' tho effect of Forrest's irruption into Washburn's domains. \ You must know that Washburn occupies the. 1 residence of-tho Grccnlanes', on Union street, I nnrl when our cavalrv entered the citv he was i . - - - - J ^ J sleeping sonudlv on the second floor. In did- , habiilc extraordinary lie leaped from -the window and fled towards the Fort. It is said a ( sinali'flag of truce floated on the midsummer breeze just behind liiin. Hence, perhaps, lie was not fired upon. In any efent, Forrest sent. | him a fl-tg of trace I'cqnesting nn exchange of j' prisoners, which Washburn, having 'recovered j1 from his fright after reaching his earthworks, j 1 declined to do, stating that he would recapture | his unbrcaehed and lyitless stafl and other officers within the week, The whole hateli, some 450, have gone to Andersonvjlle. Constant ' terror prevails in Memphis. The Yankee 'school inarms,' who, with uneasy consciences, I Ijave ensconscd themselves in our Jinnies, all , have hired gnhrdstfieh at their doors. Bingham, the editor of that foulest of newspapers, the Bulletin, when Forrest carnc; concealed liimself, half naked, in a chimney corner at his boarding house; on the corner ?f 3d and Court strict?.

Yankee women frighten tfieir tow-headed babies to silence and sleep with the name of Forrest.? Whatever history may do for him lie will live forever in their memories. The navy list shows the British navy to contain, at present in commission, 240 steamships of all sizes, from the stately thi'ee-decker down to the tiny gunboat. These mount between 230 and 240 guns; they are manned by about 45,000 men and boys, and are propelled by a steam-power exceeding GO,000 liotses nominal. In addition, there are 48 sailing vessels, mounting upwards of GOO giyis, and manned by about 6,500 men and boys. The sailing vessels arc naturally on'ty fit for harbor duty and training ships. They are never intended to go to sea again, and, therefore, should not be. regarded i as belonging to the effective naval force. i ? ?' * Important Decision.?Judge Halyfnrton of the Confederate Court At Richmond has delivered his opinion in the case of John H.Briscoe and the thirty-odd Mary landers who appeared before him, under writ of habeas cOrpus, claim- i ing their discharge from military service on th| ground that their term of Service had expired. The Juhgc was of the opinion that these men, being Marylandcr?, and therefore not embraced ' within the conscription act, could not be held, 1 the torm of voluntary enlistment having expired, i They wctc therefore discharged. ( ? j Important Notice.?Of the large number I who went to flewbern, by flag of trace, on AVed- j i aesday last, eve'ry man and woman had to take j the Yankee oath of allegiance before they could |1 be received.
