cipation proclamation. A Yankee opinion of Gen. Lee's retreat. The New Orleans Delia (Yankee) has the following editorial upon Gen. Lee retiring from Pennsylvania with all his plunder and spits: The ridiculous nonsense so copiously shed over the country by the Northern press since the sanguinary battle of Gettysburcks and herds, and miscellaneous plunder generally, and finds the road "on to Richmond" free from encumbrance and obstructions. The purpose of the invasion of Pennsylvania will be found to resolve itself, in our opinion, into a mere calculation of its foreign effect, and as an effect to substantial losses then apprehended at Richgton while capturing Richmond. He likewise has furnished the Confederate cause in Europe new boasts; for by establishing his ability to carry the war into Pennsylvania--to fight one of the fiercest battles of this slaughter house war upon its soil, not without discomfiture, it is true, but without detriment to the prestige of

Hecker in its presence, Lee was enabled to accomplish for the object we think he had in view two very important results--first, he invaded, without impediment, a fruitful and important portion of the great middle State, the Keystone of the Federal arch, destroying or carrying off on his eastern advance property exceeding in value, it is allowable to estimate, of twenty millions of dollars, although Northern journals speak of it as being worth more than twice that sum; second, her freed Eastern Virginia at the same time and by the same operation, of the large, well appointed, efficient, and reliable army that had so long occupied the line of the Rappahannock with the ultimate design steadily in view of covering Washington while capturing Richmond.

I wore ship, and stood away from the bar, permitting the enemy to approach me by slow degrees.--When the enemy had approached sufficiently near, I took in all sail, and wearing short around, ran up within hall. It was now dark, it being about 7 o'clock. The enemy hailed, "what ship is that? " We responded, "Her Majesty's steamer Petral." The reply was "I will send a boat on board!" We now hailed in turn, to know who the enemy was, and when we had received the reply, that he was the "United States steamer Hatteras," we again hailed him, and informed him that we were the Confederate steamer Alabama; and at the same time I directed the First Lieutenant to open fire upon him. Our fire was promptly returned, and a brick action ensued, which lasted, however, only thirteen minutes, as at the end of that time the enemy fired an oil gun and showed a fight; and upon being hailed by us, to know if he had surrendered, he replied that he had, and that he was in a sinking condition.
