CRANE Chaplain of the 107th New York Regiment: Near AQUiA Creek, March 4th, 1863 Owing to the great e xporure and terrible decomposition after the battle of Antietam, I was utterly prostrated and very sick. My stomach wold not retain medicine. An article called Plantation Bitters, prepared by Dr. Drake, of New York, was prescribed to give me strength and an appetite. To my great surpris they give me immediate relief, bottles almost allowed me to join my regiment.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER. THE OPERATIONS BEFORE CHARLESTON. The nAws from Charleston brought by the transport New Jersey is Dot so late by one day as that previously received, but supplies us with many interesting details that were not contained in the former barren accounts. Among other details we have a full account of the cap ture of rhe ritle. pits before Fort Wagner, which seems to have been a most gallant enterprise, resulting in important Crnset uences. This toi k place on Wednesday, August 2G.h, at which time Gen. Gilmore, having completed four parallels and asap which extended very close to Waguer, determined to possess a ridge of sand which interposed and i was highly eee-ntial to the success of our engineering ope- rations. This ridge was coustautly occupied by a strong 1 body of rebel pickets, aud at night by several regiments protected by r fle pits. The work of gaining these pits was devolved on the Twenty-fourth Massachue-tie regi i ment Accordingly just before dark, on the 26 h, the bat- 1 teries iu the parallel on the right opened a heavy fire 1 simultaneouely 0.1 Wigner, on the rifl--pita between the /or t and the ridge, ard on the ridge itself. Under I cover of the cannonade, which was responded to form Forts Wagner, Gregg, and Simpkins, the Tw nty fourth Massachusette were ord -red to dash forward aud seize the ridge. In a m ment they leaped over the inter vening parallel and in another moment they were passing up ।he ridge, which, fortunately, was at that time defended on y by a single North Carolina company, who were sp-edily surrou ded and taken prisoners. The work Was done in less than thirty minutes, and the result was the acquisition of a portion of ground which enabled our engi neers to go on with their approaches to within a hundred yards of Fort Wagner, besides levelling the rifle-pits of the enemy and forcing them to contract their hues. On Mon lay, August 31, a reconnoissance was made by the Weehawken and Montauk, which developed the fact that the wall of Fort Sumter facing Moultrie was as per fect as ever it was, with several casemate guns in position. The same afterneon all the monitors, except the Lehgh and Montauk, engaged Battery Gregg and Fort Moultrie, doing material injury to the rebel works. At halt past five in the afternoon the firing ceased and the monitors return i i I l I I I I I I

i i ed, the Passaic having sustained some damage to her deck. On Tuesday, September 1st, there was a general engage- 14 ent between the iron clads, with the exception of the moot between the iron clads, with the exception of the Ironsides, and Forts Sumter, Wagner, and Moultrie, in which much damage was done to the forts. Late on that day, at half-past ten o’clock in the evening, the iron-clads 'left th-ir anchorage to complete the demolition of the wall of Sumter which remained standing on the side near Moul trie. They had hardly started when they were opened upon by Moultrie, but mad, no reply, and proceeded to within seven hundred yards of Sumter, opened a terrific cannonade, which was continued till daylight, and resulted in stilt further damaging the standing walls of Sumter. No damage was done to our vessels, except those above re corded When the New Jersey left Charleston harbor on the 3d the monitors had gone up to renew the attack, and were abreast of Sumter preparatory to opening fire on the forts

I J t I i I GEN. BURNSIDE’S MARCH TO KNOXVILLE. From the incinnati Gazette of Monday. Official information Was received at headquarters in this city yesterday that on the 4 h instant Major Gen. Burnside entered Knoxville, Tennessee, without opposition. This intelligence will be gratifying to the loyal people of the nation, a, it insures relief to ths devotedly patriotic but long neglected people of that section. Geo Burnside’s march was a severe one, and it required greater courage and more power of endurance to accom plish it ’ban to fight and win a battle in th? field. On the 39 h, as we learn from a private note written by our cor respondent, the army was in the barren region with only J

1

i i six days' rations for the mon, and but one day's forage for horses aud mules. It was then believed that serious oppo- sitin would bA made by the rebels to their onward move ment, but there, as elsewhere of late, the enemy has d‘s played bis ruuuing qualities, and succeeded iu making good his esenpr. Vs bat ja indicated by the evacuation of Knoxville and the urt-nder, without a struggle or even the sign of re sistauce, of the Tennessee and Virg nis rzilroad—a line of immense importance to the rebels—it is hard, in the ab sence of details of the latest movements, to say. It may be uriher accumulation of evidence recently crowded upon us that there is extensive demoralization and but lit tle fight in what remains of Bragg's army, or it may mean concentration and an obstinate resistance at Chattanooga. Upon this point, however, we shall not be many days in doubt Gen. Rosecrans is pressing forward south of the Tennessee, and if Bragg makes a stand at Chattanooga he will soon have, if he has not already had, an opportunity to test the strength of the hitherto victorious, and now spirited and brave, Army of the Cumberland. However, as matters stood at the date of our latest advices, the rebels occupied only a verv small corner of East Tennessee. In Knoxville the old flag floats trium phantly, and in Chattanooga it will next, and very soon, be unfurled, whether the enemy runs or whether he fights. This event will mark the full and final redemption of the whole of Tenresseo from rebel rule and then still further Bouth our victorious binners will move, supported by the united armies of Rosecrans and Burnside. We shall await with a good deal of interest the letters of our correspondent, giving details of Gen. Burnside’s movement ‘hrough East Tennesgee, and his occupation of that renowred Union stronghold, Knoxville. The unfurl ing of the Stars and Stripes was, we may Pel assured, hailed with inexpressible delight by the downtrodden peop'e, who have borne up longer against the despotism of the trait irs and sacrificed more lor their loyal princi ples than any other people North or South. And what must have been the feelings of those brave Tennessee sol diers in our army, aa, with unresisted steps and gallant hearing, they carried the flag they love into their old homes to meet once more the wives and children from whom, in consequence of their own loyalty and the treason of their persecutors, they bad been so long separated! All this may now be imagined. Hereafter we shall have it in some degree described. CUTTING THE REBEL COMMUNICATIONS. The capture of Knoxville and the occupation of the Virginia and East Tennessee railroad are two of the most important events of the war. This road affords the only direct route by which the rebel* in Virginia can obtain 1 supplies from Northern Alabama and Mississippi. By this route, prior to the capture of Vicksburg and Port Hud son, immense supplies were transported east from Texas, Alabama, and the States already named. The only remain i ng route, namely, by the Western Atlanta, Georgia, North Carolina and Richmond and Danville roads, is long and cir cuitous, and even this will no longer be available after Chattanooga falls into our hands. With the occupation of that post by our forces, the southeastern railroad* of the Confederacy will be utterly and hopelessly severed from the western and middle lines, and it will be a matter of the utmost difficulty, if not of absolute impos-ibility, for the rebels to maintain any considerable army east of themoun tain range extending from V rginia through North Caro lina into Georgia. Lee w ll very soon be compelled either to make another forward movement, in the hope of ob taining supplies, or to abandon a't-gether the State where he has so long and sullenly held his position. As this lat ter movement can now only be made under great disad vantage* and at the peril of annihilation, it is probable that of the two alteruat ves he will chrose the former. and again sally forth on a mammoth raid, hazirding in a final effort the last stako f tie Confederacy —e York Post. ECONOMY IN A FAMILY. There is nothing which goes so far towards placing young people beyond the reach of poverty as economy in the management of household affairs. It matters not whe ther a man furnishes little or much for his family if there is a continual leakage in his kitchen or parlor; it runs away he knows not how, and that demon waste cries more’ like the horse-leech’s daughter, until hethat pro vided has no more to give. It is the husband’s duty to bring into the house, and it is the duty of the wife to see that none goes wrongfully out of it. A man gets a wife to look after his affairs and to assist him in his journey through 1 fe to educate and prepare their children for a propet station in life. and not to dis-ipate his property. The hus band’s interest should be the wife’s care, and her greatest smbi ion to carry her no far her than his welfare or hap- i piness, together with that of her children. This should be her sole aim and the theatre of her exploits in the bo som of her family, where she may do as much towards making a fortune as he can do in the counting-room or I work hop. I THE REPUBLICANS OF ILLINOIS. We j erceive by the Illinois journals, and also by letters from that State, that the late Republican Mass Meeting at Springfield fell far sho/1 of the expectations of its origi nators. The numbers present, including women and chil dren, were variously estimated at from twenty to sixty thousand. In the procession, it is stated, there were less than three hundred and fifty vehicles of all descriptions. Many of the distinguished gentlemen advertised among the speakers failed to appear. Amongst those who were pre sent and addressed the meeting were Hon. Henry S. Lane, of Indiana, Senator Trumbull, Gen. Oglesby, Senator Doo little, Governor Yates, Sena.er Chandler, Gen. McCler nand, Gen. Prentiss, Hon. Isaac N. Arnold, Hon. E. C. In gersoll, Gen. Farnsworth and others. Some of the speeches were of the radical order. We copy all the resolutions. Those of the committee" were submitted to the various l’ands (six or seven in number) and unanimously adopted. The supplementary resolutions were offered by individuals st diderent stands, where they were respectively adopted. The resolution endorsing the President’s emancipation proclamation was ffered and adopted only at Stand No. l,"and the resolutions of the Germans were adopted at the stand set apart for them: RESOLUTIONS OF THE COMMITTEE. Resolved, That this unholy rebollion was commenced without no y justifiable cause; that it has been maint-in-d in violation of every principle of justice and humanity and that it is the duty of the Government to suppress it by the use of every constitutional means witbin iti power. Resolved, That we will lay aside all party questions, for get ail party prejudices, and devote ourselves unreservedly to the support of the Goverumeut until the rebellion shall be finally cru-hed. Resolved, That, whatever else may die, the Union shall live to perpetuate civil liberty whatever else may perish, the Government shail survive in all its constitutional inte grity whatever else may be destroyed, the nation shall be preserved in its territorial unity; and to th e end we pledge anew our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. Resolved, That the strength of our Government consists in the respect of the people for the law and its constituted authorities; and whoever opposes the execution of the laws, whether by open rebellion, as in the disloyal States, or by secret combinations, as in the loyal States, or teaches others so to do. is an enemy to republican liberty. Resolved, That the recent success of our army and navy form a glorious record upon the pane of history; that our gallant soldiers have won for themselves imperishable renown that their victories indicate a speedy overthrow of the rebellion, and strengthen our confidence in the wis dom and efficiency of the Government. Resolved, That the course of that portion of the Demo cratic party who have not forgotten the dying injunction of Stepten A Douglas, and who have, in the hour of our country's trouble, nobly rallied to its standard, and who have placed their conntry and its destinies above and be yond mere partisan success, meets our hearty and patriotic admiration, and their services will live in the memory of a grateful people so long as constitutional liberty shall re main. Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the thousands of wounded heroes, to the multitude of widows and orphans who are scattered over the land, in consequence of this unholy rebellion and we assure them that a grateful Country will remember them in the hour of their necessity and disaster, as well as cherieh the me mory of the callant dead. Resolved, That, in view of the extraordinary difficulties and embarrassments which have environed our national and Stale affairs during the present atrocious rebellion, the efforts of the constituted authorities of our National and State Governments commend themselves to our highest re spect for the zeal, ability, and fidelity with which they have been marked. GEN. FARNSWORTH’S RESOLUTION. Resolved, That the emancipation proclamation of the Presid-nt is, in the opinion of this meeting, both legal and constitutional, and cannot be either rescinded or with drawn, nor can the slaves emancipated by it be again duced to slavery. re E. C. INGERSOLL’S RESOLUTION. R‘so!ted, That we are in favor of the further offensive prosecution of this war, because we believe it the ouly way in which to crush out this rebelli u, and because we do not believe that its further prosecution tends to anarchy or misrule, but to the speedy overthrow of the rebellion a d the permanent establishment of the Government and an honorable peace. MK. FORREAT’S RESOLUTION. Retohfil, That we heartily and unqualifiedly endorse the principles and pulicy of the letter of the President, Abra ham Lincoln, which has been read to this meeting to-day. We i ecognise in it additional evidence of his devotion to freedom and the ultimate reunion and salvation of the country. by the Germans. THE GERMAN RESOLUTIONS. There is also a series of resolutions adopted separately They are in the form of a declaration or We extract two or three of them, viz manifesto. The great mej rity f the German citizens have always upheld and adhered to the doctrine once promulgated by Abraham Lincoln, now President of the United States, that this Union cannot endure half free and half slave. We believe that every friend of liberty in every coun try is watching the issue of our heroic struggle against the alavehollers’ rebellion with the fervent wish and the joyful expectation that liberty will ultimately triumph, and that our regenerated Unhn will be a Union of Free States. “We rrgard the President's emancipation proclamation as a finality, never to be revoked or abrogated, and we call upon Congress to give it their unqualified sanction.

THE ATTACHMENT AGAINST COL. NUGENT. It will be remembered that a warrant of attachment for contempt was ordered to be issued against Col. Nugent by Justice Leonard, of the Supreme Court, returnable on Monday—the Colonel’s offence consisting in a refusal to produce before Judge Leonard a deserter from the United States service, named Barrett, who, having been arrested, was held by the military authorities, as represented by i Col. Nugent. The Colonel was to be taken before Judge Leonard, who would exercise bis discretion concerning the punishment to be inflicted. But the warrant was not served on Monday. It was not thought desirable on behalf of the State judge to press his attacoment. It should be observed that Sheriff Lynch, whose duty it was or would have been o serve the paper and bring the Colonel before the court, exercises a wi-e discretion in regard to matters of this kind. Several col li-ions might have occurred during the past few months bad the course of the sheriff not been tempered with judg ment. Not long ago this officer was directed to arrest Col Loomis, who was commandant of the depot on Gov ernor's Island, the Colonel not having recognised the ser vice of one of Judge McCunn’s writs. The order was peremptory, but no attempt was made to effect the arrest and the affair was settled. So in this case, Tbe matter was laid over by consent in the mean time an investigation Was made, and it ap pearing 'hat Barrett was a minor, under eighteen years of age, and that he was induced to enlist when in a state of intoxication, he was discharged from tbe service. This morning the proceedings were dismissed. This solution of the difficulty is suid to be mutually satisfactory. Therefore the last threatened collision has come to an end without any sanguinary results.— V. Y. Pott. Negro Troops at the South—Dr. Stone, surgeon of the Fifty-fourth Massachus-tts volunteers, (colored,) writes that the wounded black soldiers who are prisoners in the hands of the rebels were cared for in the hospitals with the white wounded, and that he can find no authentic or trustworthy account of any outrage or indignity offered to any of the Federal wounded, either in the attack on Wagner or on James Island. Auction Sales of Western Lands.—On Saturday in Boston, there was an auction sale of several lots of land in Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Michigan, Miunesota, and Nebraska, containing fri m 80 to 700 acres in each lot, at prices ranging from 50 cants to $5 per acre.

The Loudon Times of September I-t says in regard to the deetination of the suspicious and powerful armor plated frigates in Laird’s Yard We do not think it mo rally right that ships like there should leave our ports for such service as that for which they are intended. We do not wish to see any more of them sail on the same er rand.’’ A despatch frem London of the 1st of September says The Richmond Government had made n pressing appeal to the Spanish Government to obtain recognition of the Confederate States, t if ring to guaranty ti Spain the possession of Cuba and Porto Rica. The Spanish Govern- i ment declined.” CAPTURE OF THE ANGLO SAXON. The following extract of a letter from Capt. Cavelly, of the ship Anglo-Saxon, which is published in the English papers, states a few particulars of the capture of his ves sal by the Confederate privat> er Florida: Brest. August 25, 1863. Dear Sir I regret to inform you that my ship, the Anglo-Saxon, was captured by the Confederate st amer Florida, and burnt by her off the Old Head of Kimrale, bearing NNW. I think about thirty miles pilot was on board My cbanne She was captun d on Friday, the 2 1 st of August, at 5 A. M., the Anglo Saxou being becalmed at the time. All my nautical instruments, books, charts, etc. were taken The Auglo-Saxon sailed from the Birken head docks on the 17th instant for New York, with a cargo of coal. She was a ship of 868 tons burden, had a crew of twenty-four men, at d was dispatched by Duncan Kendal at the time of her capture. She had been eight days out at sea. Mr. Spence, of Liverpool, the financial agent of the Se cessionists, writes to the Times as to the difficulties of the Federals at Charleston, and asserts that they cannot in vest the place. He ridicules the reported demoralization of Lee’s army, and satirizes the tone of Mr. Lneola's re taliatory edict. He thinks it very improbable that the Confederates will call out negro troops. THE MEXICAN QUESTION. The French “inspired” journa's publish Mexican intel ligence which affirms that the adhesions to the Empire are numerous,” but that the population would prefer the throne to be occupied by a French prince” Perhaps these statements indicate that the Archduke Mux milian does not choose to become Emperor of Mexico under French patronage, and that after all the Mexican crown will be conferred by the Emperor Napoleon on some mem ber of the Bonaparte family. A LETTER FROM MR SEWARD. The English papers publish the following letter from Mr Seward, in reply to the British anti-slavery address: Department of State, Haghinston. July 1863 Sir I have had the honor to receive from the Rev. Dr. Massie and the Rev. Dr. Ry lance your addiess in the name of a large public meeting which was recently held at Free Trade Hall, in Manchester, to the President of the Unit d States, together with papers which constitute the aecom paniments of that communication. These papers have been submitted to tha President of the United States, and I am charged by him to inform you that be has read them with the most lively satisfaction, and with a profound sense of the obligation which the re verend religious pastors in France and the reverend reli gious pastors in Great Britain have laid upon the world by their correspondence with each other, and their common address to the Chritian ministers and pastors throughout the United States. 'J he proceedings id' the meeting at Free Trade Hall, and its address to the President, touch ingly and admirably harmonize with the sestius-nts which pervade the correspondence before mentioned. The parties in those pre c-eding* will readily understand that the attempted revolution in the United Stites sensi bly affects this Gi vernment, and American society itself, in uany ways which it has not fallen within the province of those parties to exam ne, While th- inturests thus naturally, ai.d not itupri p-rly, overlooked in Europe fur nish the strongest possible motives to the people of the United States for suppressing the meurr cion and main taining the Constitutional Government received at the hands of their fathers, the President readily accepts and avows as an additional Mid irresistible motive the suggestion trade by the friends of our e untry in Europe, that the success of the insurrection wi n'd result in the es-abbsn ment, for the first time in the history of the human tace, of a State based upon the exclusive touudations f Af iem slavery. i I have the honor tube, sir, your very obedient servant, William H. SEWARD, Thomas Bayley Potter, Eeq.. Manenester, England. THE NEW COsTEDERATE VESSELS. The following is the memorial, relating to Confederate rams, sent from the Ex-eutive Committee of the Emanci pation Society to Earl Russel) Unto the right honorable Earl Rursall, her Majesty’s Prine pal Secretary of Siate for Foreign Afiirs, the Me morial of the Executive Committee of the Emancipation Society humbly showetb That your memorialists desire to oill your lordship's attention to a subject of very grave and pres-ing import Your memorialists have learned that certain per ance. sons, regardless of the proceedings already taken by her Majesty’s Government to stop such practices, have equip ped vessels of a very formidable kind, which are about to sail from England to make war upon a nation with which this country is at peace, and a people very nearly allied to informed and us by ties of friendship and commerce. In particular, your memorialists are earnestly c ill upon your lordship to make immeciste in vestigation into the fact, that two powerful iron-plated steam rams, which for se me time have been n preparation in the Mersey by the builders of the Alabama, are now almest ready for sea; that the vessels are equipped and armed with steel prows and turrets, and are itended for One, the purpose of com 1 itting hostilitio a against the Govern ment and people of the L in ed States of America.

Another iron-plated war vessel, destined for the same service, is approaching completion in the Clyde. In view of what ber Mnjaaty's Government has already done in the case f the uspecied gunboat. Alexandra, and of a statement by your lordship that you believed the for eign enlistment act sufficient to stop these dangerous prac tices, your memorajists cennot d ubt that the law will be enforced against the persons and vessels concerned, in a spirit of loyalty and good faith to an allied nation strug gling for constitutional freedom and emancipation again-t a rebellion of slaveholders. May it, therefore, please your I rdship to order a prompt iuvestigaion into the circumstances above detailed, and, if necessary for ths purpose, to stop in the mean time the departure of the war vessel which is ready to sail, and to apply the law with vigor to prevent hostile acts against a friendly Power contending for human free dom. And your petitioners will ever pray. W. E» ans, Chairman. P. A. TAYLOR, W. T. MALLESON, Joint Treasurers. F. W. CHESSON, Hou. Secretary. POLAND. The special correspondent of the London Times, in a letter dated Lemberg, August 18, says: It is very difficult to know how the insurrection is really going on in the kingdom of Poland. As regards Galicia, expedition after expedition is sent forth, and always meets with the same fate. But if these expedi tions do no other good, they at least have the effect of keeping an immense cordon of Russian troops constantly occupied, and they must be regarded as positive proofs that the energy of the Poles and their determination to hold out until the last possible moment have in no way abated Whatever Prince Gortschakofl's answer maybe to the last new note, the Poles w.ll not lay down their arms, and preparations are already being made for con tinuing the war against Rusia throughout the winter. The Poles are probably no more on the point of expelling the Russians from Poland now than they wore four or five months ago; but whatever m ly be the exact position and prospeets of the armed ineurreciioa, it is certain that the power of the National Government has gone on con stantly increasing from the beginning. L ke most other Governments, it has its admirers aid its detractors, but, unlike most other Governments, it is promptly and uni versally obeyed. I have heard a few complaints as to the forced loan from persons not anxions to sub cribe to it. On the other hand, a proprietor living near Cracow is known to have put his name down for one hundred thousand Polish florins at the very earliest opportunity. The sum required from each proprietor is calculated on the amount of taxes payable by him to the National Gov ernment, which amount, by the way, in Galicia, is now eqval to fifty per cent. on the taxation levied by the Aus trians. The National Government now goes through its operations with gieat regularity, and, by way of making its organizations and mode of action as public as possible, has lately printed in its official journals a juries of laws, with a list (not nominal, of course) of judges and officers comprising its tribunals. The penal law,’ first put in force in the month of June, declares, by its first clause, that all acts tending to weaken the National Goyernment, to check the progress of the revolutionary movement, and generally all acts injurieus to the national cause are to be considered State crimes.” I EXECUTION OF NEGRO SOLDIERS. The Military Commission at Columbue, Kentucky, has recently tried a large number of eases, among others that of the negroes who, a short time ago, murdered the Beck ham family. The proceedings of the commission have not yet been published, but it appears by the annexed de spatch that three of the negroes at least were sentenced to be hung, and that already they have thus suffered for their crime: COLUMRUS, (KY.) SEPTEMBER 5, 1364. The three negroes found guilty of marder in the PCK ham case were executed to-day by order of Gen. Hurlbut. The execution took place at one o'clock under direction of Col Scott, Commander of the Post, assisted by Maj a M. R Rowley, Provost Marshal of the District, and Capt.

SUPPRESSION OF SUBSTITUTE AGENCIES. The following is the order issued by Gen. Schenck for the suppression of “substitute agencies” in his milithty department. It is stated that since these agencies have been established in Baltimore several thousand substitutes have been procured, some of which were s nt to the N*w England States, while the remainder were tiken to Wash ington and various parts of Pennsylvania: Headquarters Middle Dep’t, Eighth Army Corps, Baltimore. (Mei Sept. 8, 1863. The business of procuring substitutes for military ser vice, to be taken out of this department, or into other States than that in which the substitute is obtained, is found to interfere materially with the recruiting service, o and may also in the State of Maryland operate pre judicial ly to any draft that may be ordered under the euroUmg act, besides being the occasion of many frauds on the Gov ernment. All agencies for the procurement of substitutes in this department are therefore ordered to be auppresgad and the business disc ntiued and, if persisted in, the parties dis covered to be so engaged will be arrested and reported to these headquarters for punishment. '1 he Provost Marshal of this Army Corpe is directed to see to the enforcement of this order. By command of Major General Schenck W. H CNESEBROUGI, Lieut. Col. and A. A. General. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT CONSTANTINOPLE. BURNING OF A SERAGLIO. From the Levant Herald of August 12th. A positive calamity has befallen Stamboul. The old pa lace of Selim, of Mustapha, and of Mehuoud—next to the principal mosques, the most unique and characteristic archi tectural feature on the south side of the Gulden 1b ro— has been leve lied by the flames. The disaster which has thus deprived the Tin kish capi tal of one of its most striking and historically interesting monuments happened on Monday forenoon, when, about eleven o’clock, the sudden bursting cut of a column of bL ck smoke from the southern extremity of the building announced to nearly every quarter of the city that the quaintly beautiful old building, which had escaped the fiery vicissitudes of a hundred years, had at length fallen a prey to the common b cal fite. In half an hour more the whole Before the pile was hopelessly and irretrievably ablaze. first of the scores of wretched engines which hurried from every quarter of the capital to the scene of the cal unity could even reach the Point, the old palace was far beyond salvation by any local means. The Grand Vizier, who happened to be at Dolma baktche at the time, was the first on the spot, having hurried across in one of the palace caiques He was speedily followed by the whole of the other ministers, nearly all the general officers in garrison in the capial,and about three thousand troops. Of the many narrow escapes, that of the Grand Vizier was one of the closest. Accompanied by a dozen or so of soldiers, hie Highness had penetrated into the centre of the buildug, where it was believed some of the fair inmates yet remained. Whilst searching for these, the flames literally surrounded the room in which Fuad Pacha and his companions were, and it was only by eeCip mg through a window which opened on the Marmora that his Highness and the mm with han effected their retreat, but a lew minutes before the roof of the room they had left fell in. By three P. M. the work of destruction Ws complete. The fire, indeed, still raged at that hour in the detached buildings in the rear and round twards Yali Kiosk, but if the old palace on the Point only the outer emit walls and the tottering chimney stacks remained. About an hi ur after the fire broke out, Ilie Sultan him selt proceeded to the scene, but, on the ugent adviee of the ministers, his Maj sty remain e.l only a short time in th“ dangerous neighborhood, returning to Dolma bakiehe. whence the prozress of the coitl igration was nearly as visible as from the perilous spot itself. The site of the old building thus destroyed is one of the most hi-toric in Stamboul. In the earliest Byzantine days it was covered by the Acropolis ot the new eastern capi j tal; later by a palace of the Empress Hlacilis later still i by another and grander imperial residence, reared by Jus- i tiuian, in the ruins of which other paisres were succes sively built, till Mahomet II erected that of which the structure destroyed on Monday was the last of many resto rations. In this building took place the assasination of Sultan Selim III. and Mustapha IV., an1 from it issued the successive edicts which crushed the Wahhbees, anmi hilated the Janissaries, an 1 inaugurated the other acts of reforming “vigor” which illustrated the reign of Mah m mil. On the compl'tion of the new palace of Dolma baktche, the late Sultan removed to the latter residence, and the old buildigg sunk into a retreat for the surviving (and unmarried off) members of his faher's harem. Ou the death of Abdul Medjid hims-If the former inmates were cleared out and the ladies of his own late estab ish merit installed in the r steal. Thee consisted f four Ladin effendis (or wive) and ab ut three hundred other females of lower haremie rank. F Besides ihis goodly com- pany, the establisbient included nearly one hundred white and black eunuchs and other servants, the whole of whom were in it when the calamity of Monday occurred. The fire is said to have originate! in a small kitchen at tached to the suite of apartments occupied by the fourth Ladin, who had barely time to hasten to the adjoining rooms of her late conjugal colleague-—disturbing tnem at their after breakfast coffee and chibouque, and urge im mediate flight before the flames spre^i from her own chamber to those of the other ladies. The whole of these, as also the other women, eunuchs, and servants, managed to effect their retreat into the oirer front court, and there they were found half an hour later by th- hasnadur testa (lady governess) of the palace, who hastened from Dolma baktche to take charge of the burnt out establishment. The whole were splendidly and safely removed in caiques and carriages, first in part to some of the neighboring harems, and finally in the course of the afternoon to Dolma baktche. Effor ts were made to save some portions of the costly wardr bes. jawels and furniture thus hastily abandoned, but with hardly any success. The whole may be said to have fallen a prey to the flames. Happily the old jewelled arms and other precious antiquities which visiters to this hi-toric trea-ure house will remember, were removed some months ago to Yeni kiosk, a moderate stone building on the crown of the hill behind, which has escaped the general ruin and there they and the silver gilt throne which does duty at Bairau under the "Beauiful Gate”— nearer still to St. Sophia—still safely repose. But the old Serai itself is gone; and, rich as nearly every court and chamber of it was in histori-al association, the £300,000— or thereabouts—intrinsic value of the building and its contents, is perhaps the least element in the loss which its destruction entaile on Stamboul.

WASHINGTON. ERTY AND UNION, MOW AMD FOREVER, ONE AMD U INSEPARABLE.” THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1863. the abduction proposition. The extraordinary proposition of the Judge of criminal Court in Maryland to the Secretary of 9-11— -j War, to which we referred in our number of the ;th instant, urging that the President should, by proelsmation, invite {entice and persuade') the saves of Maryland, a loyal State of the Union, to sbscond from their masters and enlist in the ser rice of the General Government, has induced us refer to the criminal code of the State upon hst subject We fiud that section 176, article 30, under the head of crimes and punishments,” reads as follows: .I any person shall entice, persuade, assist, or offer aty W tu any slave or servant, knowing him to of such, to run away from his lawful owner or possessor, shall harbor any runaway slave or servant. knowing h.ul to be ouch, he shall be liable to indictment where such atfence shall have been committed, and upon conviction shall be sentenced to the penitentiary for not less than six nor more than fifteen years.” Another section of the same article declares 4ld T T5 UVVIMIVD thefuet of any slave having escaped to any of the r 41 TT2. 1 it. _____ States or Territories of the Union, without the con sent of his master or owner, conclusive evidence that such slave had run away, &e. Could this Judge, having sworn “that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Stale of Maryland and support the constitution and laws shereof, and that I will, to the best of D‘y skill and judgment, diligently and faithfully, without partiality or prejudice, execute the office,” &c., I refuse to apply the penalties of this law to any I szent of the Government who should be brought before him, as criminal judge, for carrying into 1 effect the proclamation which he invites upon, the people of Maryland GEN. MCCLELLAN. This distinguished officer has led so quiet and unobtrusive a life since his exile from command that we have not for some time seen his name in the newspapers, except indeed in the masterly numbers of Mr. H. Ketchum, now in course of pablication in the New York Journal of Com in vindication of the General’s military merce, character against the aspersions of the Congres sional Committee. The information, therefore, conveyed in the annexed extract from the letter of a private gentleman who lately fell in company with the General in the country, will possess in terest for all our readers I saw to day, for the first time, and had a long talk with Gen MCCLELLAN, who lives near the friend with whom I an stopping. I was very favorably impressed by the frink and dignified besri g of the man. He spoke to ma freely of various persons, but always with respect, and, as I conceive, with justice. He has been put on retired pay, a sufficient proof that the Administration do not mean to employ him again.” POSTAL CONSTRUCTION. I The information conveyed in the following offi cial publication will possess interest for the public generally PasT Office DEPARTMENT, Appointment Office, September 8, 1863. The publication of the following construction of the new postal law in regard to the weight of packages which mny be sent free through the mails is deemed important to the public, and especially to persons connected with the seve ral Executive Departments atd Bureaus at Wasbiogton The maximum weight of packages which may be sent through the mails is limited to four pounds, except Cen gressional documents and books published or purchased 1 by order of Congress. It was not the intention of the hw to prescribe a smaller limit to franked packages to i r from any of the Executive Departuents or Bureaus, as that would exclude from the mails a large portion of the vffiinl correspondence of the Government. The limitation of packages to four ounces, in the 42d section of the law, was intended to enlarge the privilege of members of Congress, theretofore limited to two ounces aul the omission in the printed law of the words to Sena tors and Members of Congress,” (as in the original bill,) after the word granted,” in the last sentence of that eec tion, leads to an erroneous enatruction of the true intent an 1 meaning of the law. The P stmaster General, therefore, directs that all pack ages, otherwise entitled to go free, to and from the several Executive Depariments and Bureaus at Washington, and not exceeding tour pom.ds in weight, be allowed free trans mission through the mails. ALEX. W. RANDALL, First As« stant Postmaster General. THE OFFICERS OF NEGRO REGIMENTS. A Wasbiugton letter, da ed the sth instant, published in the New York Times, has the following important in information relative to an important question which bra been interposed by the Confederated in providing for a general exchange of prisoners A zeutleman from New York, the father of an officer in one of our colored regiments who is now a prisoner in the hands of the rebels, called on the President to learn what policy would be pursued by the Government in regard to exchanging prisoners, and urged upon the President to consent to no exchanges being made unless the rebels ex range white ficers of colored regiments as other prison err of war. The President sai i he would do all in his poser to ctiVet the release of these officers and all others who are now prisoners in the South, buthe was not prepared uor would he consent to make the release of officers of colored regiments an indispensable condition to the re nawal of exchange s. This Government was prepared to exchange mm for man with the rebel*, even should they refuse to release officers of colored regiments in their j bauds. This would be done because this Government con adered it unfair to make the eases of a few officers a test question when a much larger number would be benefited by the resumption of exchanges, and the question of ex changing they officers was left open for future considera divn. He wished sincerely that they could be released *peei ly, but J. i Davis was a party to be consulted, and th-y uld not be exehangod unless by agreement with rebel authorities The question raised in regard to these ofi ere was not covered by cartel, and officers of these reximenta knew, when they entered the service, the pecu dar r.sks incidental to their position, and for the present uliet endure the disagreesole consequences. The Presi dent, however, assured the gentleman that any unu ual or bbrarius treatment of uch officers or the colored soldiers would cause retaliation on our part upon the rebel prison, ers in our hands.’’ RESOURCES OF AMERICA. A few figures lately obtained from the Department of Agriculture tell a story which the world would do well to con, ider Our total agricultural exports (t xclusive of ett-) in 1-60— when we were yet at peace—were F 249 356i, of which Southern ports exported $19,748, 50, in IsCt with half a million of men in arms and no Sthern exports, they amounted to $137,026,505, and in 7b2, with a million of men iu the field (one-half of them roin the rural districts) and no Southern exports, they reached the 8U1U of $155,142,074. The amount of wheat Md flour aloue exporied in the year ending September 1, i2. exceeded that of the previous year by over seven allions of bushels. THE KANSAS-MISSOURI TROUBLES. Correspondence of the New York World. St. Louis, September 6, 1863. the public opinion of Missouri has been agitated of late in consequence of the very threatening atitude of affairs on the western border. For a time at least it seemed as if the gigantic war which now divides and dis tracts the nation would become the parent of minor subdi visions of strife, in which localities and even States might become the combatants. Such a state of things was to be dreaded, since it once spread there is no foresight could tell where it might end. Happily the flood of internecine strife is for the present quelled. You are aware that for some weeks since several hun dred of the people of Missouri, under the lead of the noto rious guerrilla chieftain Quantrell, made a murderous and cowardly raid upon the city of Lawrence, Kansas, in which they pillaged and (hot without mercy or reason. The indignation of the Kansans knew no bounds, and, as they never have been slow to retaliate, the most natural shape which their revenge took was a pursuit of Quantrell to the wilds of Missouri, where they succeeded in killing many of the guerrillas Their vengeance soon assumed a more direful cast, when they commenced burning and de vastating the western counties indiscriminately as a re taliatory measure So far had this proceeded that at pub lic meetings in Lawrence and elsewhere it was openly ad vocated that the whole of Missouri adjoining Kansas should be desolated and its population exterminated. This pr cess had actually been commenced, and a general exodus of the population began. GEN. SCHOFIELD’S MEASURES. Gen. Schofield, who commands the department, seeing the impending danger of allowing any such system of pri vate war, proceeded to the scene of the troubles. His first step upon his arrival was to issue the following gene ral order: Headquarters Department of the Missouri, St. Louis, (Mo September 4. General Order No 92.—The militia of Kansas and Mis souri not in the service of the United States will be used only for the defence of their respective States. They will not be permitted to pass from one State into the other without express orders from the district commander. No armed bodies of men not belonging to the United States troops, or to those portions of Kamas and Missouri which have been placed under the orders of the department com mander by the Governors of the respective States, will be permitted, under any pretext whatever, to pass from one State to the other. By command of M»jor Gen. Schofield C. W. Marsh, Ass’t Adjutant General. The radicals of this State look upon this policy as one which is only in favor of the rebels,” and complain that the guerrillas will be fostered under this rule. Hence there is a great clamor for the removal of Schofield. He was chosen by the President as a pacificator and mediator between the two factions. They claim that it was the very worst selection that could have been made, as so far he has been able to temporize only between them. Either extreme would probably give greater satisfiction than a compromise of both. He will, we imagine, be able to con trol the belligerents on the Kansas Missouri border, as the appended despatch indicates: Kansas City, Missouri, Sept. 1. Governor Hall: There will be no invasion of Missouri by the people of Kansas. The Governor and the people or Missouri may be perfectly at eare on that subject. J. M. Schofield, Major General. THE PAOLA MEETINN The armed meeting at Paola was to take place on the 8th instant. The programme assigned for it in the way of business is thus stated in a radical" despatch: Lieut. Gov. Osborne will probably preside. A plat form of the most radical character will be adopted. The lemoval of Schofield and Ewing will be demanded. Com mon cause will be made with the emancipationists of Mis souri, and a committee will be appointed to go to Washing ton with the Missouri committee. The people of Kansas will not rest until Schofield is re moved and a man placed in command who, instead of being praised by one faction and condemned by the other, will deserve and receive the applause ot all loyal men and be bated by the rebels.” Our latest accounts being only to the 7th, we have no knowledge of what the meeting actually did. It may be i iferred, however, by the following from a St. Joseph paper, that Gen. Schofield was present at the meeting from the St. Joseph Areies of September 2. Major Gen. Schofield, accompanied by Majors Campbell and Wherry, of his Staff, arrived on a special train from St. Louis last evening, and stopped nt the Patee House until the departure of iha regular train on the Platte county railroad last night, when he left for Leavenworth. The General conversed familiarly and freely concerning our border troubles He said the only way marauding could be stopped would be for the people to j4 armed—of course diseruminat ng between the loyal and disloyal. He thought his last general order covered the ground. Some ore spike of the Kansas military meeting in Paola on the kth Inataut, whan the General quietly observed that be thought he would beat that meeting himself" MARYLAND NOMINATIONS The Unconditional Union Convention of the fifth Con gressional district of Maryland met at Bladensburg on Tuesday and nominated Col. John C. Holland, of Balti more county, as their candidate for the House of Repre sentatives. The fifth district is composed of St. Mary's, Calvert, Charles, Prince George's, Anne Arundel, Mont gomery, and Howard counties, and a part of Baltimore county. The Union nominations for Congress from the State of Maryland are now complete, and are as follows: 1st district—John W. Crisfield, (late member.) 2d district—Edwin H. Webster, 3d district—Henry Winter Davis. do. 4th district—Francis Thomas, (late member 5th district—John C. Holland. The Hon. Charles Calvert, who ably served the fifth district in the last Congress, some time ago announced himself as a candidate for re-election. He is still in the field, and, as a loyal and faithful representative, will be sustained by a large number of the voters of his district. THE NEW LOAN FROM THE BANKS. Tho New York Commercial of Tuesday evening says Another meeting of the Bank officers of this city was held yesterday afternoon, on the subject of an advance to the Gove.nment of thirty-five million dollars. A letter was received through a Mr. Cisco, United States Assistant Treasurer, from the Secretary of the Treasury, in which he agrees to all the modifications to his proposition sug gested by the Banks, with one exception— that the option to take all future issues of the notes shall be first offered to the takers of the present loan He consents that the notes shall be made payable in ona or two years, as may be elected by the Ranks, instead of one year, as at first proposed, with semi annual interest, the denominations to be not less than fifty dollars, and that no additional issues shall be made except to takers of the present loan until after October. A res lution was adopted accepting the proposition of the Secretary as it now stands, and a preference was ex pressed that the notes should mature in two years from date, and the first instalment of five per cent, will be paid into the office of the United States Assistant Treasurer to day. The Banks of Boston and Philadelphia having already voted to take fifteen millions of the loan on the same terms as agreed to by the Banks of New York, the negotiation of the whole fifty millions is now completed. As the transaction now stands the Banks agree to purchase at par from the Government $35,000,000 of Treasury notes, bearing five per cent per annum interest, said notes reder mable in two years, and to be a legsI ten der for their amount, interest not included, and to credit the Government of date from to-day with an equivalent num, to be drawn from as wanted, and to bear interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum until the issue of the notes, which will be on or after the first of October next.” CAVALRY LOSSES. General Pleasonton has, it is stated, completed his official report of the operations of the cavalry in the late campaign. It exhibits the surprising fact that the total loss of the cavalry corps from June 9.h to the present time, in killed, wounded, and missing, is upwards of fir thousand. This illustrates the severity of the cavalry service very strikingly. NOMINATIONS IN NEW YORK. Albany, Sept. 9—The Constitutional Union Conven tion have nominated E. P. Norton for Attorney Generii and R. F. Stevens for State nomination of the remainder of ferred to the State Committee. The Convention have adopted Prison Inspector. The the ticket has been re the same resolutions as those adopted at Rochester, with one additional, depre cating any departure from constitutional grounds. SOUTHERN NEWS. LATEST FROM CHARLESTON AND TENNESSEE. The Richmond Examiner of Monday last, the 7th in stant, has the following telegraphic despatches in refer ence to late important operations at the South THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON. Charleston, Beit. 5.—To-day has witnessed another furious bombardment of Forte Wagner and Gregg by the enemy's fleet and land batteries. The firing was begun at daylight, and was maintained steadily until dark. A Mo nitor is now firing at Fort Moultrie. Another assault on Battery Wagner is deemed not improbable to-night. Since yesterday no further attack has been made on brick-built Sumter, which has been held twenty days against all efforts of the enemy’s great guns by land and sea. Seven thousand five hundred and fifty-one shots have been fired at it; 3,495 have struck outside, and 2,130 I inside. The flag has been shot away fourteen times. Or ders against exposure having been rigidly enforced, oui I casualties were few. I LATER FROM CHARLESTON. I Charleston, Sept. 6, 9.30 A M.—The bombardment of Batteries Wagner and Gregg has been incessant for the last thirty-two hours. The noise of the cannonade is tre mendous. Last night the enemy landed near Cumming's Point in barges and assaulted Battery Gregg. The assault was repulsed. No particulars have yet been received. REPORTED VICTORY IN ARKANSAS. Atlanta, Sept. 4.—A special to the Appeal from Se natobia says that Gen. Price had "an engagement with the enemy fifteen miles below Little Rock and obtained a vic tory over the Yankees. The Arkansas army had been ra pidly reinforced. Gen. Halleck excuses the present inactivity of the Union forces. He says they are waiting for the culmination of the siege of Charleston, and that in three weeks he will have full three corps under Gen. Banks to move on Mobile from Pascagoula. THE LATEST FROM TENNESSEE. Chattanooga, Sept 4.—The enemy were signalling all i night on Waldron’s bridge, but every thing is remarkably I quiet across the river to-day. There are no further indi cations of an advance on the part of Rosecrans. The Knexville Register has been removed to Cleveland. Capt. J. R. Rhodes, of the First Confederate infantry, was shot at noon to-day for encouraging desertions from his own company and embezzling the money of substitutes. He made a short speech, acknowledging the justice of the sentence, manifested but little concern, and died without a struggle. Lieut. Col. Adolph, of the same regiment, was cashiered and conscripted yesterday for having been con cerned in the same offences. SECOND DESPATCH. Chattanooga, Sept. 5.—Although the armies are in close proximity there are no indications of an early en gagement, but a slight cause may bring it on at any mo ment. Our artillery at Driver’s Ferry opened on the en emy at six o'clock this morning for the purpose of ascer taining the strength of the position of the enemy’s batte ries. They responded promptly, and for half an hour a lively artillery duel was kept up without injury t> our side. The discipline and health of the army are very fine. The troops are in the best spirits. Nothing heard from General Buckner's command. The weather is clear and warm. ANOTHER DESPATCH. Atlanta, Sept. 7.—A special despatch to the Confed eracy says that Col. Morrison, of the 1st Georgia cavalry, repulsed the enemy at Diamond Gap on the night of the 3d instant. Our loss was two wounded; the enemy's not known. The brigade fell back south of the Tennessee river. The enemy shelled Loudon on the 2d iustant, and killed two women. The bridge was burnt to prevent the enemy’s crossing. THE GEORGIA RESERVES. Atlanta, Sept. 5 —Gov. Brown has issued a procla mation calling upon the State Reserves to hold themselves in readiness to march at a moment’s warning. The men are to provide themselves with rations and subsistence on the march and on the day after reaching the rendezvous. The Ladies' Atlanta Hospital Association gave a dinner to one thousand of the Vicksburg soldiers to-day. REPORTS FROM NORTH CAROLINA. Philadelphia, Sept. 9 —Newbern advices to Septem ber lith state that Hon. David Heaton, a representative of the Treasury Department, left there on the 2d instant for Washington on important business cf a commercial and civil charactey. j The Raleigh Standard is full of the proceedings of peace meetings held in different counties which fearlessly en dorse the course of the Standard. THE U. S. TROOPS IN NEW YORK New York, September 9, 1-63. Gen Cauby having issued an erder removing the troops under his command from the city, nearly all of the regi ments which have been eneamped in our various public parks and squares have struck their tents and yielded prompt obedience to the order. The troops which were stationed at Washington Parade Ground, with the excep tion of the Regulars, who are at present on the Battery, were furnished transportation to Alexandria, (Va.) and are probably now at that place. These troops consisted of the Second and Fourth Vermont. The Third and Sixth Ver mont, which made their headquarters at Tompkins square, have been removed, the former to Newark, (N. J.) and the latter to Kingston, (N. J.) The Fourteenth Regulars are still at Madison square, but will leave in a day or two. The Seventh Massachusetts and Fifth Vermont, which were also encamped at this place, have left for Washing ton, it is said to rejoin the Army of the Potomac. The 1524 New York left Stuyvesant square on Saturday, and are for the present making their headquarters in Brook lyn. The Second and Seventh Regulars are still stationed at Fifth avenue and Forty-ninth street. A detachment of the Tenth Regulars remain at Ninety-first street and Third avenue, and a battalion of the Eleventh and Seventeentn Regulars at Jones's Wood. It will be noticed that the regiments retained by General Canby consist entirely of regulars. ANOTHER MASSACRE BY NEGRO SOLDIERS. From the St. Louis ISpuhlinm. We have unquestionable authority for the truth of the statement below, horrible as it may seem to those who call ours the age of Christianity and civilization. We give it in the words of the writer On Tuesday night, the 25th ultimo, a party of thirty eight negro zuldiers murdered nine peaceable citizens in cold blood. The facts are as follows, and were related to me by Mr. A. M. Gwin, a planter residing at Brunswick Point, Mississippi: I he party of negroes got to the Hill place about etc. ven o'clock at night and arrested Mr. Sims and Mr. Hill. They took them with them and proceeded to Mr. Fore’s, arriving there at sun-up; arrested him and started up Deer Creek. When a short distance above Mr. Fore s plsce the prisoners were ordered to stand on the side of the road. When Mr. Fore saw they were to be shot he sprang into the cane at the same instant the prisoners were fired upon. Mr. Sims and Mr H II fell dead Mr. Fore was shot through the shoulder. They proceeded up the creek to Mr. Clark’s place and killed him at his house. They next went to Mr Johnson’s and killed him in the presence of his wife They next shot Mr. Chaney. They then re turned down the creek. The negro in charge of the rquad ordered that nothing should be taken from any of the places. Mr. Fore made his way, in great suffering, to the river. A negro man from the Hunt plantation gave the informa tion of what occurred after Mr. Fore made his escape. The wives of the murdered men are at their homes unprotected. Four more were murdered by the same party before they arrived at Hill’s plantation, on their way up. Their names I did not learn. All the negroes were in full uniform and armed with muskets, and pistols in their belts. Deer Creek is in Issaquena county, Mississippi, and empties intoYazoo river at Haines a Bluff." Gen. Martindale, Military Governor of the District of Columbia, has left this city for New York on thirty days’ leave. He will not again return to perform the duties of Governor. Major Sherburne, Adjutant General on Gen. Martindale’s Staff, is now discharging the duties of that office. LATEST FROM THE SOUTH. IMPORTANT NEWS. FORTS WAGNER AND GREGG EVACUATED. FORTRESS Monroe, Sept. 9.—The Richmond En quirer of Tuesday, the 8th instant, contains the following: Charleston, Sept. 7.—Morris Island was evacuated yesterday afternoon. The enemy had advanced their sap pers up to the moat of Wagner, and, it being impossible to hold it, Beauregard urdeted its evacuation, which took place at noon. The enemy hold Cummings' Point, in full view of the city. The enemy is active above and below Chattanooga. Heavy firing is low goirg on between the monitors ard our batteries on Sullivan's island and Fort Moultrie. Atlanta, Sept. 7.—A few of the enemy are at Waxa hatehie and another force is advancing on Rome, Georgia. -o EVACUATION OF MORRIS ISLAND. The following is from the Richmond Whig of Tuesday, the 8th instant: Charleston, Sept. 7.—The bombardment was kept up without intermiesion all day yesterday and far into the night. About one hundred and fifty of our men were killed and wounded at Batteries Wagner and Gregg. The attempt to assault Gregg was repulsed before the enemy had completed their landing. Great havoc is supposed to hive been played on the enemy’s boat by our grape and canister. At dark yesterday, the enemy having advanced their sappers up to the very mouth of Wagner, and it be ing impossible to hold the island longer, Gen. Beauregard ordered the evacuation, which was executed between 8 P. M. and 1 A. M. with success We spiked the guns of Wagner and Gregg and withdrew noiselessly in forty barges. Only one barge containing twelve men was cap tured. The enemy now holds Cummings’ Point, in full view of the city. All is quiet this morning -o ASSAULT ON FORT SUMTER. CHARLESTON, Sept. 7— Noon.—A despatch from Maj. Stephen Elliott, commanding at Fort Sumter, announces that a dig of truce demanding the immediate surrender of that fort has just been received from Admiral Dahlgren by Lieut. Brown, of the steamer Palmetto State. General Beauregard telegraphed to Gen. Elliot to reply to Admiral Dahlgren that he can have Fort Sumter when he takes it and holds it, and that in the mean time such demands are puerile and unbecoming. CHARLESTON, Sept. 7—8 P. M.—At six o’clock P. M. the iron clads and monitors approached Fort Sumter closer than usual, and opened a hot fire against it. Our bat teries on Sullivan’s Island, including Fort Moultrie, re plied heavily. The firing is still going on.

FROM TENNESSEE. CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 6 —With the exception of a lew shells thrown at our pontoons yesterday, nothing has oc curred to break the monotony at this place. The enemy seems quite inactive both above and below the place. But there is no further indication of an attack. The best in formed persons think that no attack will be made here, but an effort will be made to flank us. Two privates, four regulars, and one of Gen. Rosecrans’ telegraphic operators were captured yesterday near Run ning Water Bridge. Atlanta, Sept. 7.—Passengers from Chattanooga re port a force of the enemy at Waxahatchie. We learn from Rome (Ga.) that another force is advancing on that point. All accounts concur in stating that the feeling and disposition of the army is one of great desire to meet the enemy, and confidence in the result. From East Tenues-ee there is no recent movement to report FROM CHARLESTON New YORK, Sept. 9—The transport City of Bath, from Charleston Bar on the 6th instant, has arrived. She reports the siege of Fort* Wagner and Sumter still going on. The latter has not surrendered. The ironclads and land batteries were bombarding Fort Wagner, which had not replied for two daye. The casualties a, a very few. The news from Morris Island is said to be contraband, but its character is not known. SEARCHING FOR PRIVATEERS. New YORK, September 9.—Babia dates to August 5th state that the gunboats Mobican and Onward port. No pirates had recently been heard from. are in A GOVERNMENT DETECTIVE KILLED. Between one and two o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) morning the ne’ghborhood of Pennsylvania avenue and Sixth street was thrown into a great state of excitement in consequence of the shooting of a detective officer, known as Lieut. J. M. Brannan, by Charles W. Thompson, one of the Metropolitan policemen. The deceased was shot through the head by a pistol, the ball entering immediately above the eye, piercing the brain, and causing death in about an hour and half. Coroner Woodward empanelled a jury yesterday morning, and held an inquest. The clothing and body of the deceased (which was in a bed room of the third-story of the Central Hotel) was searched in the presence of the jury, and nothing was found except a geld watch, a bunch of key*, two memo randum books, some papers and letters, a comb, and small change in postal currency. A large amount of money, which the deceased was known to have with him during the evening, had mysteriously disappeared, and an investi gation was at once instituted to find out if possible what had become of the money. A large number of witnesses were examined, whose t-stimony all corroborated each other as to the shooting. We give the principal witnesses' story, as follows Mr John E. Hays, correspondent of the Boston Travel ler, testified that he was sitting in front of the Clarendon H-t-I about half past one o’clock, and saw a party come out of the Central who were engaged in loud talk. One of the party said to another, You are a damned butt," or something to that effect. Lieut. Brannan then struck one of the party, and the latter fell, and a scufile ensued, and while that was going on police officers came oyer from the National Hotel and made for Braonal, and the latter told them to let him go, waen one of the officers got behind him and pinioned his arms, and asked Branan who he was Witness was standing bv en all this oc curred, Braunan replied that he belonged to the detective force, and he threatened to shoot if they did not let him go. The officers then let go of Brannan, and stood one on either side of him and Braunan commenced fumbling in his pockets (as witnessed supposed) to get his documents to prove who he was. Instead, however, of getting his papers, he drew a pistol and held it to the fficer, at the same time jumping behind a tree, and continued to hold the pistol toward the policeman’s head. Another officer then stepped up and remarked that he was a friend of Bran nans, and when witness saw the pistols drawn he stepped around the corner of Sixth street, out of the way, and a moment afterwards the shot was fired by one of the po licemen, who witness since understood was officer Thomp son. Isaac Lamber, (sworn Was at Sixth street corner saw scutlling at opposite corner. Williams and Thompson went over. Some one or lered the police to arrest a man They did so and let him go. Lieut Brannan was arrested by them. Brannan shoved Williams away and caught Thompson by the neck. They again arrested him. Bran nan had a pistol and threatened to shoot any one that put a band on him. Thompson was retiring and B. advancing when Thompson fired Saw no one take the watch saw no money. The gist of much of the evidence was that the deceased’s body was not searched after the shooting. The coroner thought that the eflicers should have stayed with the body till the inquest was held. The jury retired, and after a few moments’ deliberation returned a verdict that the said Lieut James M. Brannan was, on the morning of September 9th, between the hours of (no and two o'clock, shot by policeman Charles W. Thompson, the ball entering above the left eye, which esu-ed his death in a short time after the shooting. Lieut. Brannan was from Monmouth county, (N. J.) and came on here as Second Lieutenant of the Tenth New Jerey Volunteers. When the regiment was ordered to the field he and Capt. Johnson were detached for special duly as dett ciives, and has been in that duty ever since. He was twenty-six years of age. His effects were turned over to the care of Capt. Johnson. Policemen Thompson was yesterday committed to the Old Capitol by order of Capt. Todd. He has been station ed at Sixth street, where the homicide occurred, ever since the organization of the police force, and has always borne the character of a quiet, efficient officer.— Union.

W HEAR THE WITNESSES. ORTHLESS AND PERNICIOUS ARTICLES are so often bolstered up in the advertising columns of the Press by fabricated letters, that the proprietors of HOSTETTER'S BITTERS rarely give quotations from their business correspondence, lest the genuine opinions of those who use and appreciate a genuine article should be confound ed by the unthinking with the fulsome rigmarole put into the mouths of men of straw by unscrupulous empirics and char latans, whose double object is to sell both their trash and the public. Believing, however, that facts important to the health and comfort of the public, and which can be verified at any mo ment by addressing the parties who vouch for them, ought not to be hid under a bushel, the undersigned publish below a few communications of recent date, to which they invite the attention of the people, and at the same time especially request all readers who may feel interested in the subject to address the individuals themselves, and ascertain tire correct ness of the particulars. HEAD REV. W. B. LEE'S LETTER. Brooklyn, (N. Y.) May 28, 1863. Messrs. Hostetter Smith Gentlemen: I have used your Bitters during the last six weeks, and feel it due to you and to the public to express my hearty approval of their effect upon me. I never wrote a puff” for any one, and I abhor every thing that savors of quackery. But your Bitters are entirely re moved from the level of the mere nostrums of the day, being patent alike to all, and exactly what they profess to be. They are not ad vertised to cure everything, but they are recommended to aesiet nature in the alleviation and ultimate healing of many of the most common infirmities of the body, and this they will accomplish I had beeu unwell for two months, as is usual with me during the spring. I was bilious, and Butter ing from indigestion and a general disease of the mucous membrane, and though compelled to keep at work in the dis charge of my professional duties, was very weak, of it yellow complexion, no appetite, and much of the time confined to my bed When I had been taking your Bitters a week my vigor returned; the sallow complexion was all gone, I relished my food, and now I enjoy the duties of the mental application which so recently were so very irksome and burdensome to me. When I used your Bitters I felt a change every day. These are facts. All inference mu t be made by each indi vidual for himself. Yours, respectfully, W. B. LEE, Pastor of Green Avenue Presbyterian Church. St. Nicholas Hotel, New York, March 2, 1863. Dr. Hostetter—Dear Sir Being of a bilious tempera nent,and having suffered much from w-a-sickness heretofore, I detetmined when leaving New Orleans for New York, in June la-t, to try your celebrated Stomach Bitters. Having nade the trip in the propeller Trade Wind without the least nconvenience, owing to their preventive efficacy, I procured >n the 26th of July a box of your Bitters for the use of my self and a few friends,on our contemplated voyage to Europe n the Great Eastern. After getting to sea 1 pened the box, ind, together with about ten of my fellow passengers, partook the ladies on board the ship's phyei st her with a large f the Bitters. On tne second day some o' the ladies on board felt sea-sick, but by taking half a wine glassful three times a lay they soon recovered Dr. Goldsborow, 1.7 -1 ian, and Capt. Patou, the commander, together wit portion of the passengers, subsequently experimented with die Bitters, and uniformly with entire success. They will certify to the fact that during the whole trip net one person pn board was sea sick after the second day Dr. G. having appropriated the last remaining bottle as an infallible specitic, I had none of the article on my return voyage, and Buttered more than I can describe in conseqnence. I have orders for two boxes from two of my late fellow psesengers, now in Liverpool, and shall send them out by the next steamer. You ought to have a depot in Liverpool. Advising all persons venturing for the first time (or indeed at any time) to sea, to obtain if possible a supply of your Bitere before leaving port, and thereby secure themselves agai sea-sickness, I am. respectfully, your obedio.t servant. JOHN A. MUELLOR. Chelsea, (Mich.) July 10, 1863. Messrs. Hostetter Smith, Pittsburgh, Pa. GENTLEMEN Please send ui some of your Bitters—one bottle of last consignment being left we have increased sale for them—seeing Mr. Hatch, ot our firm. had beeu sick during the whole of last winter, and was cured by the use of three bottles. He had Liver Complaint, accompsuied with a cough, tried all the physicians here, Pouit nixty tiles for a celebrated doctor, and thought he wonld die. The first bottle stopped the cough, two more cured him. You s truly, WHEDON HATCH. Rcnsselaerrillr, July 7, 1863 Messrs. Hostetter Smith GESTLEHEN Please send me some of your Bitters at your earliest convenience, as I have at present an extensive sale for them. I have no medicine or w hicin I am selling as much as your Bitters I have kept them during two yeare last past. They have now begun to sell: they have performed some re garkable enres in Dyspepia, which have been of long stand ing, and from which they have ac uired a reputation won by no other medicine in our market. I can send you certificates eurpaesing any thing you have ever publi-hed if of any value to you, being anxious such a medicine will be introduced in everyplace. If persons were as well acqu tinted with it 18 1, they would not be without it Respect ully, yours. W. P. SWEET, Druggist, Re neselaerville, Albany county, New York. Navy Pfpartment, Bureau of Dorks and Yards, Drcunbcr 30, 1862. Messrs. Hostetter Smith. Pittsburgi, la. GENTLEMEN: About four years since my attention was called to your Celebrated Stomach Bitters, 1 being at the time a perfect martyr to dyspep ia, in all of its terrific forms in deed, I had not known for eix years an uninterrupted night's sleep. I commenced the use ol your Bi ters, taking them as cor ling to your directions, except that the dose was reduced one-half, and found myself mu.h. very ranch benetitted by the first bottle—the second relieved me entirely; but I have ever since takn a dose in the morni g immediately on rising, finding it to act as a tonic and appetiser of the most agreeable character. There is a peculiarity in the effect of your Bitters on me which it may be well to state if from any cause I shall be suffering so acutely with the headache, a dose of your Bitters relieves me in fifteen minutes. lu conclusion, I say with all sincerity and truth I wonld not be returned 10 the state of health in which your Bitters found me, and from which they have uussestionably relieved me, for all the money in the world. I am, with great respect, vonr r bedient rervant, .John w. BRONAUGII, Chief Clerk. New Canralescent Camp, Near Alexander, (l'a May 24, 1863. Messrs.
