These ibwldings consisted of numerous sough barracks, maed by the quartermaster's dejpartment. A report that the rebels are blockading the # Lover Potomac to'jxrevent navigation is believed to be untrue. The Surgeon General has just commenced the ?*ork of making out a complete list of all soldiers who have died during the present war. The list is intended to embrace ever)* death in the regular and volunteer forces, aud to give the flame, rank, regiment, company, cause of death, date of death and place of death. Gen. Grant has telegraphed to headquarters as follows: "Everything progresses well here. Johnson's forces are at Yazoo City, Brownsville and Clinton. Deserters come in daily. They :ill report rations short. We scarcely ever lose ^ a mau now. The health and condition of the r* troops are most excellent." _2L ?Xh-e correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette, writing from near Vicksburg on the 18th, says, / " it was intended to open with hot shot upon. Tthe city on the 20th." So great has been the progress of the organization of the Invalid Corps in the city of New S York that arrangements have been made to have} ^ its members do provost-guard duty. ? { The pirate Tacony is making great havoc V> ;imong the fishing vessels of Massachusetts. XoC - The pirate had destroyed six schooners and three -ships, all belonging to Gloucester. One schoons ^ -er, arrived at Chatham on|"the 23d, reports seeing the schooner Florence off Chatham light |j with one hundred and fifty prisoners, put aboard bj the Tacony. On the 24th a schooner arrived I v at Newport, R. I., which had that day spoken ^ the Western Light with a deck load of men, put <5 on board by the Tacony. The captain reports Nt four other vessels had preceded him to New k, loaded with men from the destroyed fishen. The pirate had destroyed upwards of a m sail of vessel on the 23d and 24th, all fish- ' , .fl-mnn, which he fell in with back of Martha's Vineyajd, taking everything of value from them, i -ial then setting them on fire. Gen. Joe Johnston is so much pressed for J .men that he has issued orders granting a full/ rardon to all deserters in his department who! urill rejoin their commands immediately. General Franklin has tendered his services to Governor Curtin in any capacity he might thinly r proper to jfcee him. Commander Spotts has been ordered to Fori Royal to relieve Commander Alma in command! if the steamer South Carolina; also, Com- . mander Williamson, to take command of the steamer Flag, at the same place. ITann " nf Rnltimnrn Vine trnnn trv v Dixie, entered the rebel army, and his friends say that he has been made one of Jeff's jfflyf-fit'-iiejais. - " Another rebel force, nine hundred in number, h**. crossed into Indiana, and had reached Paoli, <Orange county. Their purpose seems to be to attack the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad. Vallandigham has run the blockade from Wilmington. He is going to Nassau, thence to Canada. .The sixth company of the first regiment of f. .colored volunteers, raised in and about the Dis111 trict of Columbia, was mustered into the serV^Dknce on the 21st. It is expected that the regiivill be full within a fortnight. The Tribune of the 25th says, Admiral Footc no better. Comxkodore Foxhall A.

V ft i r - * THE FREE SOUTH, SATI ine new tuuiuiuuuvr ui iuc oumu Atlantic Fleet# Admiral John A. Dahlgren, the succes- . sor of Admiral Du Pont in command of j tie South Atlantic Fleet, has been for some time Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, and has been 37 years an officer in I the Navy. He entered the service on the : 1st of February 1826, in the regular man- ; ner, was class-mate with Capts. Craven, J Turner, Radford, Rowan, Drayton, and J Sands. On the naval register for 1863, ; he ranks 15th on the list of Captains, all 1 the Rear Admirals, Admirals, all the Com- ; modores, and 14 Captains being above j him. The sea service, to his credit, is less than that of any other officer in the ' Navy, except three or four. Admiral '] Dahlgren is a native and citizen of Penn- sylvania, from which State he was ap- ' pointed. The invention of the somewhat celebrated gun which bears his name, procured for him the distinguished position he has occupied in the Ordnance Depart- , ment of the service for several years. He i is very fond of gunnery, and has made many improvements in arming vessels-of- , war. >, __ _ ?? 1 ? l ^ ?Jtst=z Fourth of July Celebration.

Bosecrans that he has devised and put into effect a phn of changing slave labor. Male negroes are hirecf out at $8 and females at ' 85 per rnontft?to. their former masters. ' Written contracts to this effect are entered j into. The plan is working admirably, and Gen. Payne says that the overseers declare they never had so much work done nor half so -well done defore. This is the newest of the free labor experiments, and apparently the happiest in . results. Gen. Rosecrans hates slavery ; worse tlian Gen. Banks, or Gen. Thomas, and will see that the freedmen have fair , # 1 play in his department. The Pa>*ic is Pitssbubgh?Where the Gold is.?The advance of the rebels has developed one fact which has been a mystery to the people for some time, viz: What has become of the gold coin?? Fearing an attack, the bankers and others r?f Pi fffthn rcr thrmcht it prudent to remove tlieir coin, and the American Express Company delivered in Cleveland on the 15th inst 815,000,000 in gold, and on the succeeding day 87,000,000 more, of which 8650,000 was also in gold. Vice President Stephens has expressed his conviction that the confederate experiment is a failure, and that all hopes of its ultimate success have long since vanished. It is also asserted that many influential men in Georgia are in favor of a reconstruction of the Union. r \ t JRDAY, JULY 4, 1863. Resignation* and Promotions.

A correspondent of the Boston Trended gives full particulars of the late expedition under Colonel Chickering in Western , Louisiana, by which immense stores and J thousands of negros were rescued from rebel horsemen. The results as given by 1 this correspondent are as follows: j Six thousand negros came into our hands, five hundred plantation wagons, three thousand mules and hones, besides a fabulous number of cattle. While the Forty-first Massachusetts were stationed at Berrie's Landing, five thousand bales of cotton were sent from that point, besides immense quantities of sugar and molasses, and it is estimated that upwards of ten thousand negrps have been sent from Berrie's Landing to Brashear city and Algiers. All of these negros are ex* ceedingly eager to fight for their freedom, ana l nave often seen the tears rolling si- * lently down their sable cheeks when tha examining surgeon, after inspecting them* 4 pronounced them physically worthless for active service in the field Nothing is more false and ridiculously absurd than ( the statements of northern, copperheads T that the negro vvill not fight, will not labor without the cruel lash, is of too indolent a nature naturally to support himself* A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette furnishes the following in reference to Gen. Dodge's recent expedition into Alabama: Oil his return 'Gen. Dodge literally swept the country of provisions and forage, live stock and negros. It is estimated that he burned 1,500,000 bushels of corn, much of which was shelled for transportation to the army; captured and destroyed 500,000 pounds of bacon; cap- # \ tured 1000 head of horses and moles, and % ; an equal number of cattle, hogs and sheep, besides supplying the whole command < with meat for three weeks.
