' THE NEWS. ~ -' We have, as yet, nothing offioial of the w battle of Gettysburg, though G-en. Lee has since re-orossed the Potomac, into Virginia. mi t?? , j TV ..I f. .'J.O0 "AlCQiQUau x/espcttcrt, iruui uuuveraa- i i lions with wounded officers has arrived at the conclusion that it was on our part a triumphant success ; that the slaughter of the ? Yankees was terrible beyond all former example, and the telegraph operator was not "so far wrong when he said we had 40,000 prisoners as has been supposed. We brought away 13,000, and thousands were allowed to escape. The enormous encnmberance indicted by these prisoners was one cause of General Lee's retrograde march.. It is stated on good authority that our loss in hilled, wounded and missing did ntot exceed 10,000; if, as the Yankees assert, we lost * 4,000 prisoners, then our loss in killed and :,wcunded was only 6,000 tjhile the Yankees acknowledge theirs to be unprecedented.? Gen. Lee has ordered all the wounded in the Gettysburg battles to be forwarded to Staunton, and most of them are across the Potomac. A large and well organized am' *^bulance line is now running between Martinsburg and Staunton, to connect with the trains for Richmond. The first instalment of wonoded were received in Richmond on : I the 13th inst., and sent to the Seabrook rer.oeiviog and distributing hospital. ' Private letters have been received from ' BnldiAnr hnt. ir..seems to ns the officers have ? . . been very remiss in their duty 4o the friends of the wounded, at least who might afford much needed assistance. [We have since received a list, which will be found in anv " ^ other column ] Affairs in the North, show but little bar- j . mony with the Lincoln government, but the > .population of the Northern cities are gen- j ?rally such a crude, indigestible mass, that no reliance can be placed in their action, as-they can be swayed by every current by which interest may be reflected.. We should better depend ou the "sobersecond thought" of the peoples, and that is in our view to j follow up all their fancies successes, and I . rob, subjugate and destroy, as far as in their j power. We have no friends in the North, j but through interest and wc have many; enemies South, which should be first eradi- i j^ted?therefore put only suoh trust in j Northern disaffection as may afford thought; for the moment, and that thought, what an : incongraous mass of villany we have to con-; tend with. We give pretty full extracts to day from reliable sources, up to the last moment, and to them we refer the reader, in preference to aDy further speculation of our own. THE PROCLAMATION. President Davis has issued his Proclamation, extending the conscription age to 45, as passed by Congress at the outset. Whether this call will interfere with the late orr\f f?nnna fnr Sfftfo ^atl l&ablUU VI VVVV.WW^ 4V? J between the ages of 40 and 50, is a ques-j tion among many, but we rather think not; ?that the late organization will be preserved, and the conscription applied to those oat of it, at least for six months after the 1st of August, proximo. This will considerably enlarge the number of citizens required to leave their immediate homes, bnt it will only be for an emergency, and we i trust a brief one. The conscripts will be j required to fill up the decimated ranks of ] companies abroad, while the militia, or a ; portion of them, will be kept-with in 24 j hour9 hail of every quarter of the State? The time has come when exemptions are to be closely looted into?foreigners are required to take their places in the ranks, and a curtailment of exemptions is being considered. The list of Government officials we learn is to be pruned of all who may be deemed capable of active duty, to make room for the disabled soldier, ag already provided, and the press are recommending a requisition for those having substitutes in the field. In the Charleston Courier we find the following, which will prove rather a strong dose for weak stomachs, but we give the recipe for what it may be worth, reserving our own opinion : "Those who have availed themselves of substitutes should also bo required to take tbeinplaces in the ranks. He who has more * money than patriotism is a pitiable object. They should never have been permitted to fight by the hand of another. But the crime they were guilty of in sending a man to toko the place they should have felt it an honor to fill, was not nearly so great when the not was committed as it is under present circumstances. . The cause needs every maD who is able to carry a musket, life who refuses to meet the call now made by his country is uuworthy of that country?unworthy of its gallant men?unworthy of its noble women. The call is to each one of us, aod each must obey it for himself aud ' in his own person. He who answers tbc demand by furnishing some one else is as despicable as he who, under any false plea, evades the solemn duty now devolved upon every man in this Southern'land. We need both the substitute and he who bought his services with his money. The perils that encompass onr country render it neoessary that both go forth to the battle." The order for State troops (vide Carolinian) to remain at their respective quarters to organize and be in readiness to move at any moment, is wise and proper. For the present the troops at and near Charleston are holding the enemy in check with great spirit and gallantry, and with time and labor to complete certain entrenchments, with the labor now being furnished, unless large reinforcements of Yankees arrive, they may be sufficient to prevent an advance. It is proper, however, that our troops should be' ready, and it condnces more to their comfort and convenience under the necessity of being in camp, to be kept away from the chance of exposure to low country miasma as long as possible.? While our uoble fellow oitizens are ready to peril their lives in defence of the portal of the State, it is considerate in the authorities not to expose them to sickness but under stringent necessity. We learn that, while there is muoh anxiety, there is an abiding confidence that oar valued old city will be successfully defended against the diabolical invaders. FROM THE 12TH REGIMENT.

" Ohable&ton, Jalyl7.?Yesterday morning a force of our infantry and artillery surprised the enemy on James Island, and drove him to th 3 protection of his gnnboats in Stono Biver. We captured fifteen, belonging to a Massachusetts negro regiment, and killed and wounded about fifty. Our loss wag three killed and ten wounded. The bombardment of Battery Wagner by the Monitors was kept up all day yesterday, and was fiercely renewed this morning.? One man was killed at Battery Wagner yesterday, but the battery was uninjured. Charleston, July 18.?An incessant and heavy bombardment of Fort Wagner all day by five monitors, the Ironsides and several gun-boats. Our batteries are replying slowly. The casualties at sun-set were four killed and fourteen wounded. The fort is not injared. The surprise of the enemy's force upon Tames Island last Thnrndav moraine was. in some respect.?, a more important achievement than the first accounts had led us tobelieve. Net only were the Yankee gunboats driven down the stream, but the Yankee land forces were cleared off the island. We understand that they crossed ever the causeway which connects James Island with Battery Island, .a? which latter place they now are. The expedition which accomplished this riddance was organized -by order of Brigadier-General Ri pley, who was at Secessionville at tbe time. Brigadier-General Hagood held the immediate command of the forces engaged. The artillery attack upon tbe Paumee wan handsomely executed by a section of Biako's Battery, 1st S. 0. A., and a section of the Chatham Artillery, tinder Colonel Bel. Kemper. These four .guns dashed up into position and opened fire upon the Yankee vessel at the distant of 400 yards. Nine shots were fired before a response, and it ocnld be plainly seen that the effect of their .rapid and accurate fire was damaging.

Our loss in the bombardment was four killed and fourteen wounded, at 6 p. m. At dark, the enemy having Blackened fire, advanced to the assault with a heavy .infantry, force.

The Yankees, with white and black regiments, came up column after column until eleven o'clock, when they were finally repulsed with great slaughter and driven from'every portion of : our works. . They held a portion of our works for an hour. We took two hundred and fifty prisoners, including fifteen negro soldiers, a Lieutenant Colonel and other officers. The enemy's loss is estimated, at from one thousand to fifteen hundred killed and wounded. Qur loss about sixty killed and wounded. Lieut. Col.

Jackson, July 8.?A number of the Yicksburg heroes arrived here to-dsy. 1 hove conversed with a number of them, privates as well as officers. The prioates prkisc General Pemberton in the highest terms. They say they went into Vicks- ; burg prejudiced against him, but no man could have done more than he did. < Ooe man shed tears when he told me of what they bad suffered, with do relief, and then for VioksbuTg to fall. The Yankceawere led to believe that if they took Vicksburg' the war was ended, and they conld all go home, and they would remark tor oofr troops, "well, boys, we can all go home now/' An offioer who arrived from Yiok&borg says that the' garrison bad-been living on pea bread and'mule meat for two weeks. He says that if it bad been known that relief was coming, it would have held out longer. It is stated that all the officers of Pemborton urged bim to surrender. Jackson, July 17.?<-Our army quietly withdrew from Jackaon at 10 o'clock last night, to prevent being Ranked on the right. The 6ick, wounded and stores have all been removed.

On Sunday last, the gnn.boats were repulsed at Yazoo City; subsequently the position was ahandoned. The garrison has ' joined Job.'Eton's army. . ' . From Gen. Lee's Army, j. A letter received here Thursday night from a wounded officer at Martinsburg gives some news of interest concerning the battle ! of Gettysburg. Our loss in killed, woun. ded and prisoners is estimated at 15,000, but the opinion is general among our officers and men that we bad achieved the greatest victory of the war. Every bouse ' at Gettysburg and the country south and oast of that place, is crowded with the YanP kec wounded. . The loss of the enemy is unknown. The casualties among our- offi " I cere vrere greater than in any previous Dat' tie, which may be attributable to the faot: , that the country being open, sharpshooters? had unusual opportunities for, pioking-them off. pickett's division. a Through a letter from Colonel Norman I Beverly we have some intelligence. After s | three unsucoessful attempts had been made to-storm the enemy's intrenohments on Friy day, this division was ordered to do the work. They stormed and took the breastworks, but were unable to hold them* Their loss was very heavy. Every field officer exa cept Gen-. Piokett and one Colonel was either killed, wounded or captured. Gens. Kemper and Garnett are certainly killed. Gen; Ar mislead was wounded and taken prisoner. Only three brigades of this division were in the fight, the brigades of Gens.

The Fall of Port Hudson. From a Yankee sonroe we have intelligence of the surrender-of Port Hudson, on \ the-dtb, five days after the fall of Vicks- j burg. Although Yankee authority is never . any authority with us, yet we think that Port Hudson has more than probably passed ! into the hands of the enemy. This ends i the regular, military operations on the Mis* " aissippi. Henceforth irregalar warfare, guerilla dashes and sharp shooting soeoes ' will be the order of the day along that J mighty stream. The Yankees will now have 1 a taste of the blessedness of.their possession t of its waters. We will see how the much \ coveted and now realized acquisition will . profit them. The Western papers confirm the telegraph* 'i io report of the capitulation of Port Hudson. The event took place on the 9th instant, and starvation is said to have neces* . sitated a surrender. The force snrrendered , by Gen. Gardner was a little less than five ' thousand men. With this small force he. ( has beaten back Bank's concentrated army- ( two whole months, and inflicted upon it losses much greater than the number of the ? besieged. Banks has been calling loudly ? for reinforcements for some time, and the j Yankee reports say Grant sent him 30,000. , Of cqurs'e these were unnecessary?famine had done the work. The New Orleans Era ' (Yankee paper,) of July 10, contains the < following: We have official authority for the announcement of the capture of Port Hudson 1 by our forces, on Wednesday, the 8th in* ^ atant, at 2 o'clock p. m. . Gen. Gardner, the rebel commander, surrendered unconditionally to Maj. Gen. { Banks. The rebel army was drawq up in line and staoked arms, and Gen. Banks took ;( possession of the place. 5,000 prisopers, ( 50 pieces of artillery, and all the small * arms, and military stores of every desorip- 1 tion, have fallen into our hands. Gardner, the commander of the rebel fortress, had sent a flag of truce, asking terms. The reply was an unconditional t surrender, and he allowed 24 hours to con- f aider. He did not take so much time, and \ at 7 o'clock op the morning of the 9th, un* c conditionally surrendered the stronghold, 1 with all it contained. There were/5,000 prisoners. 'j The moment the surrender was completed, the enemy sent out a request that 6,000 f rations should immediately be sent in, as t the garrison had eaten ita laat mule. "This ? was found to be the fact?the last mule at < Port Hudson had been devoured. i v. ^?' ? ?>?.4 Our Loss in the fall of Vicksburg. Iu tbe shadow of a greafc calamity, says ? the Augusta Chronicle, the imagination in- ] vesta the evil with a horror far exceeding ( anything which the reality jastifies. We j do not believe that the Federal oconpatiotf ^ of Mississippi, the capture of Mobile and the certain desolation of our trans-Mississippi territory, are the military consequences rendered inevitable by tbe capitulation . at Vicksburg. If tbe fall of tbe town involved the destruction of our eutire forces j in the South-west, and such an. overwhelm- .( iDg extinction of tbe spirit of the people, j as to render them unabfe to offer further j resistance, such results might be confident- . ly anticipated. Bat in tbe fall of Vicks- ] bnrg it does not appear that we have lost a j single man. The balance' of prisoners was < largely in our favor prior to-the recent bat- j tie in Pennsylvania; and every man who has been paroled may take his place in the ranks within a few, days, We are just 'as , able, therefore, to protect Mississippi and , Alabama from the depredations of the ene- . my as we have been at any time within, the last six.mtrothtpt-^'-v''' Then, as to our interests on the other side of the river, we do not see that these are very largely damaged by th' fall of Vicksburg. Practically, our communications have beeD seriously interrupted for a longtime past. We have -had much more frequentiotercourse at other points than at Vicksburg, and its loss does not materially increase tbe embargo already laid upon on.. ; communications. The enemy's gun boats have swept the whole river some time past, and they cannot do much more than to continue the espionage which has beeo hitherto established. Despite their boats', We shall confer with our friends beyond as regularly as our veasols ply between Charles| ton and Nassau. Admitting that Port Hudson, and our other fortified points on the river, should now be taken, and that the enemy should have possession of the Mississippi from its confluence to its mouth, it is very certain that it would be, so long as the war lasts, a very barren acquisition. Gun boats, protected by thick mails, might Bucceod in making the-passage, if they would keep everything vulnerable ont of sight. Bat as to vessels of transport, they would be inces sandy barrassed and destroyed. It would require, with oar land' privateers and our armed infantry liuing the shores, a much larger per centage to insure the safe transmission of goods from Cincinnati to New Orleans than our ocean privateers make it necessary for the Yankees to pay between Boston nod Liverpool. After: the war the 'river is.free by our own .statutes. We could never make a treaty of peafee without this guarantee. If we were proposing to hold any point lor permanentiortmoation, astne English hold 'Gibraltar, for example, the loss just sustained would, perhaps, be irreparable. ' But as we had merely seized tbo poiut for temporary purposes, its compulsory relinquishment by U8 should not be permitted to awaken too great depression. ?7.

No! Oar cause is not lost; it never will be; it is just; God, in bis infinite wisdom, may ohasten us, as he did ancient Israel, but will deliver us at the proper time.
