An expedition consisting of rams, gun boats, transports and a large force were preparing to start up Yazoo river when the Union's reporter left.

Richmond, July 3. Baltimore papers 6t tbe 8th, in relation to Chandler, of Michigan, said that "Stanton had nothing to do with putting the army in the marshes of Chickahominy.

This was a matter of gross criminality which should consign tbe criminal to eternal destruction. The criminal ie either Abraham Lincoln or George E. McClellan. There it no third man, in his judgment. The criminal should suffer tbe most extreme penalty of tbe law." Stanton is unsparingly denounced by the Herald.

Information has been received to-day that Buell's army ia crossing the Tennessee river at Haws' Landing, eight miles from Guntersville, Jacksoa, Ala. Whether he is on tbe way to Rome, or designs returning to Chattanooga, in the rear, by the way of Will's Valley, is conjectural. It is reported that Morgan's (Federal) forces are removing from Cumberland Gap to Kentucky. Richmond, July 5 A dispatch from Petersburg savs a gentleman who came from down the river counted eighty vessels of all kinds at and below Berkley. Yesterday heavy cannonading was heard back of Berkley from twelve to half-past one o'clock; deuse columns of smoke were Been arieiog.

Subsequently the Monitor and another gun boat passed up above City Point, in the afternoon, shelling the woods furiously as they progressed. Tbe Tribune, of ibe 28th, says tbe killed, wounded and missing at tbe fight near Charles ton amount to 6B. Gen. Benham has been the enemy enormous. Among tbe prisoners we have two Major Geuerals and three or four Brigadier-Generala.

Our loss ia at least 10,000. The only General killed oa our side is Griffith, of The magaifirect strategy of Gen. Lea is beyoud all praise. We rsccived tbe news contained in the foliawins letter, which we copy froai the Mississippi, sertral days since, but were requested not to publish it. All wc have to say is, that we hope an order will be ieeued to hire every man shot that bereifter sets lire to a steamer of any kind.

There has been a wanton destruction of every war vessel that we haJ, or were having built.

Editor Mistissippian: Two of the euemy'i gunboats, or rather bay plated rams, made a reconnoitering trip up the Yazoo river as high as Liverpool, yesttrday, and reiurned irnnjoi-ately on seeing the fire produced by theburcing of the gunboats Livingston, Polk aDd Van Dorn tbe two fonrw having been burnt by order of Commodore Pinckney, chief ia command, the Van Dorn catching fire from the other burning vessels, thus destroying these three valuable boats-Captain Isaac N. Brown bad procured -100 bales of colton and had it placed oa the Livingston and Polk, with the vievr of making fire bips of tbem, connecting them by a chain, aud with steam up to run head on and detrov any ascending boat.

This design would have been carried out by Capt. Brown and his? ofGct rs, but for the untimely and unnecessary saciitice by Commodore Pinckney. Not only were these valuable vessels thua needlessly destroyed, but ako the clothing of the crew, provisious, small boats, small chains and aochors, from which the Arkansas expecied to supply herself. All these vessels were n-oored to the short and protected by batteries, only at the time needing men Co man the gutB to diive back the enemy's vessels; but tbe gallant Commodore's whole thoughts seemed bent upon tbe destruction rather than the protection ol the boats, aad not a man was sent to the guns ashore. Before the boats were fired a squad of militia men offered their services to remove the provisions from the boat, assuring Pinckney that all care should be taken of them; but he would Dot allow anything to be carried aehorer preferring that all should be dea roved.

Captains Brown and Carter just arrived at the scene of this wactoo destruction as the boats were fired too late to save them by their counsels if they bad been heeded, for both of these gentlemen condemned the act iu unmeasured terms. It is not known what became of the Tjomino-doro after hia "brilliant" performance, as Capt. Brown sought to have au interview with him, but could not do so. Nor is it known how much the gallant chief saved of Lis personal effects, for he certainly saved nothing for his country but he did heroically mango to hve taken ashore, without injury, a pair of pet chickens and a poodle dog! When wil this suffeiing country he relieved from such incubuses? Laboriog under tbe burning mania, as tbey do, tbey would destroy navies faster tban England and France could create tbem. It ia high time that a reformation be made tbe country demands it at once; aud competent men should be put in tbe vigrit place rewarding merit wherever found, rather than placing men in command brcause of seniority of rank, regardless of their capacity.

Captain Isaac N. Brown, of the navy, haa shown himself to be a man possessing extraordinary energy and capacity, and be and bis officers have accomplished much si ace they came -to tbe Yaxoo river. If we bad more such men in command, the country would have fewer burning of vessels and more daring feata by the navy to record. Yours, YAZOCf. Friday Homing, Jnly 11, 1862.

This victory will cer tainly fill every Southern heart with joy and exaltation. ET John Booth will leave for Richmond on Sunday next, and will take letters for acy of tbe Vickaburg companies in the Richmond army, if left at the office of tbe Provost Marshal. df We learn that there ia considerable suffering among many of the families who have been compelled to leave their homes and seek shelter beneath the trees of the forest near the city. We think our authorities should see to this and not permit women and children to starve. The report of the re capture of Eaton Rouge, with its garrison of fifteen hctdred Yankees, is discredited in high military circles.

The federals brought the report by flag of trace to Mobile. ILr" A real live Yankee, captured from the lower fleet, passed through our city, en route for Jackson, yesterday. He seems to be of the Greely school. Butler, it ia said, has been relieved of his command at New Orleans, and Reverdy Johnson placed in bis stead. It ia too late now to repair the wrong which millions yet unborn will read with commingled feeling of shame, pity and contempt.

Maj. Evans, of the 12th regiment was slightly wounded. Capt. George P. Foote, General Featherston's Adjutant, was killed by a ball passing tbiough his head.

Capt. Randall Blewttt, of a company from Columbus, had bis arm shattered by a piece of shell, which ren-dertjd amputatioQ necessary. Orderly Sergeant Harris, of the Vicksburg Volunteers, was badly wounded. There was only one man killed in this companynamed Stevens. Young Beech Reading, who belonged to one of our Warren companies, was mortally wounded on tbe field, and died a few days afterwards.

Yankee News from MuirHis. The Memphis Bulletin, a union sheet which has betn revived from the wreck of the Avalanche, contains a lengthy account of the doings of the Yankees since the arrival of Com. Frote'a fleet. It has a graphic account of the ever-to-be-remembered bombardment of the 28th of June, and says that Farragut succeeded in running eight vessels by our batteries viz: men-of-war, two sloops and three gun-toats. The Hartford was struck in the hull twice, one ball passing through her starboard bulwarks, near tbe bow, about tea feet abore the water-line, the other aboaVfhc game height, near tbe stern.

Most of the vessels had their rigging greatly damaged, which shows that our men shot (oo high.

Had a simoon, fresh from a Upas grove blown its destructive and poisonous blast over our city, the effect could scarcely be more appalling than that caused by tbe presence of tbe enemy in our immediate vicinity. Tbe horroro of such condition are rendered cumulative by tbe eporadie showers of shot and shell which are hrrled upon ns at morning, noon, or midnight, as seems best to comply with their uncertain and erratic regulations. In the uidst of all Vicksburg, proud, gallant little Vicksburg, firm as the eternal hills on which she reposes, gazes boldly and fiantly upon her enemy, and with a feeling of inexpressible yet justifiable pride beholds two immense fleets, each of which have heretofore been invincible, now brought to bay, and, unable to cope with her, compelled not only to keep a respectful distance, but, astounding as It may peem, actually forced to dig a lbw channel for the Mississippi How humiliating to the United States, how more than glorious to her. All honor to our brave generals, and the hill city. Of tbe damage to our city we can give no estimate.

Of course it is considerable. A 15-iach shell exploding inside a house do damage, and many houses have been visited in this way. No buildings have been destroyed, and the city at a distance presents its wonted appear ance. There have been no casualties since tbe death of Mrs. Gamble, and those citizens remaining appear to have become "uted to it." A few days since a number of transports which for some time have been lying in tbe bend, moved up a few inilee.

At tbe same time the mortar'fleet lyiBg at Burney's dropped down to the transports where they now are. Yesterday morning there was a commotion amosg the raor tar fleet at the quarantine, and seme of tbe boats dropped down. A little later in the day we were favored with a few hours of shelling from the upper fleet, doing about their uauil damage striking buildings and ploughing up the streets. Three Yankees, captured at Corinth, escaped from the prison in Jackson last week, but were caught about eight miles from the city and taken back. Five or six of thr; same sort were caught near Raymond.

We think it would be advisable for the government gcards to increase their vigilance about Jackson. i Richmond, July 8. The Presided haa issued the following congratulatory address to our victorious army: Soldiers: I congratulate you oithe eeriea of brilliant victories which, under the favor ot Divine Providence, you have lately Jron. And as the President of the Confederate States, I do heartily tender you the thanks of the country whose just cause you have eb specially saved. Ten clays agoan invading army mustering superior to you in numbers and materials of war, closely beleagured your capital, wantonly proclaiming its speedy cocqaeat.

You marched to attack the enemy in bis entrenchments, and with well directed movements and death-daring valor, you charged npon him in his strong positions, drove him from field to field, over a distance of more than thirty-five miles, despite his rienforcements, and compelled him to seek shelter under cover of h'a gunboats, where he now lies cowering before tbe army he bo lately derided and threatened with entire subjugation. The fortitude with which you have borne the toil ami privations, tbe gallantry with which you have entered into each successful battle needs to have been witnessed to be fully appreciated. Bat a grateful people will cot fail to record your deeds, and bear you in loved remembrance. Well may it be said of you, that you have done enough for glory, but duty to a suffering country and to tbe cause of constitution 1 liberty claims from you yet further effort; let it be your pride to relax on nothing which can promote your future efficiency, your one great object being to drive the enemy from your soil, currying your standards beyond the outer boundaries of the Confederacy, to wring from our unscrupulous foe the recog' nition of your birthright and an independent coaxaaunity.

A dispatch from Petersburg says that a gentleman wJjo came from down tbe James river yesterday, counted eighty vessels, of all kinds, at and below Berkley.

Heavy cannonading was heard yesterday back of Berkley, from 12 to half-past 1 o'clock, and subsequently dense columns of smoke were seen rising. Tbe Monitor and another Federal gunboat passed up above City Point in tbe afternoon, shelling tbe woods furiously as they progressed. Tbe New York Tribune, of the 2Stb, says their killed, wounded and missing in the fight near Charleston was 688. Gen. Benham bad been arrested for making the attack, and he and staff had arrived at that city.

Mobile, July 5. The Mobile Advertiser says the following dispatch has been eceived from a high official source: Richmond. July 5. The battle of Richmond has lasted eight days, and not yet finished. Thus far the enemy has been beztten in every fight been drives from all his entrenchments, and lost his supplies of every kind The enemy is now surrounded by our victorious army, and every effort being made to prevent his escape by way of James river.

But it ia feared some part of his army will succeed in escaping on their boats. We estimate tbe number of prisoners taken at 7000; number of cannon 75 pieces, besides 45 spiked, abandoned by them last night. Tbe number of killed and wounded cannot be less than 20.000. We have captured and eecured 15,000 stand of arms, and an immense amount of valuable property. Quality destroyed by The Battle at St.

Charles, Ark We have at last received the facts in regard to the fight at St Charles, on White river, Arkausae, which, as our readers have beri advised, resulted in the blowing up of one of the enemy's gunboats and killing almost all of the crew. Gen. Hindman's official report stated that on tbe 17th ult. tbe enemy attacked our position. We bad in battery two thirty-two pounders and four field pieces, under command of Col.

Jos. Fry aud Capt. Dunnington, C. S. Navy, with seventy nine men from the gunboats Maura-pas and Ponchartraio, together with thirty five infantry of tbe 1st Trans-Mississippi regiment, under Captain Williams.

Our whole force, therefore, waa one hundred and eeventeo men and six guns. We had tio fortifications tbtre wa9 not time to construct tbem. The Federal fleet consisted of two iron clad gunboats, one wooden gunboat, one tug, and three transports, with not less than one thousand infantry. After au engagement of three hours' duration between the gunboats and the battery, the former were forced to retire. Tbe Yankee infantry then landed from tbe transports and moved upon our battery, which was necessarily abandoned the guns being first spiked and made useless to tbe enemy.

Oar loss was.six killed, one wounded, aad eight missing ambeg tbe latter Col. Fry. Tbe Federal report says he was taken prisoner after being wounded. The enemy's loss was one iron-clad gunboat, blown up by a shot from our battery, another gunboat disabled, a transport seriously injured, and a confessed loss of one hundred and eighty men. With two exceptions, who are publicly disgraced, Gen.

Hindman tender to tbe Confederates engaged tbe tbanka ot the country. The brave deserve it, as well as the cowards the odium that will hereafter -ch to their names. Memphis Appeal. Missis Excluded. An order has been issued in Richmond excluding youg girls from tbe hospitals.
