ed, not seriously, though. One of them was by my side talking at the time; his head was cut with a piece of iron plating. The water was thrown up in torrents as high as our smoke-pipe and then came down on our decks, overflowing everything for a time. Some jumped overboard before they were hurt. I was the only one thrown overboard. It ripped up our decks forward, and carried away considerable of our plating. We came down to the monitor and anchored all night of the 5th inst. On the 6th, at 4 A. M., got under way and came down the river, which is very narrow, and with high bluffs all the way. At 6 A. M., about two hundred sharpshooters fired on us, which drove us from our guns, and then they speared in six-pound howitzer balls with a vengeance. As we got past the bluff so that we could get range we poured in the canister, but one of their shot passed through our boiler, and we soon lost steam and drifted ashore. We were leaking badly, having been struck two feet below the

r again, and I don't blame them. The draft in New York to be recommence on Monday next — preparations to Enforce it. The New York Times has the following editorial on the draft, which is to be recommence in that city on Monday next, the 24th inst.: Appreciating the deep-seated and wide- spread interest which every class in our community feels concerning the approaching draft, and all matters connected with it, we have been at considerable pains to ascertain the exact state of affaatters of preparation in the hands of the District Provost Marshals, and one of those matters is the date at which the draft shall take place. In two, and possibly in more of the city districts, the draft will be recommence on Monday, the 24th instant. Ample preparations are being made for the protection of the force engaged in the operation, and no interference whatever will be permitted, as indeed none is anticipated. A very gratifying feature of the modus operandi is this: To a

ing for the army, so that the fight, it is believed, will commence on that day. The greatest confidence is felt as to the result. The fall of Sumter, Wagner, and Cummings Point is regarded as certain to take place in from two to six hours after the ball opens. A deserter from Fort Wagner says that two thirds of the guns have been removed from Fort Sumter and mounted on James Island, and that the fall of Sumter is regarded by the rebels as a certainty, the damage done by the monitors in April last rendering the possibility of the rebels holding it not to be thought of. The deserter says that Sumter was on the point of surrendering at that time, when, fortunately for the rebels, the monitors withdrew. We have shelling night and day. Fort Johnson keeps up a brisk fire, and our wooden gunboats go in every day and amuse themselves by shelling them. At night the rebels shell our land batteries, and we shell them in return. On Sunday next we will certainly hold Sumter, and to th

ss, utterly repudiate his action in this particular as ill-judged and unwarrantable; deeming our Government wholly in the right in the struggle, and its successes the best hope for all races and interests on the continent, and regarding any other overture to the Confederate States, except immediate and unconditional submission, to be equally uncalled for and mischievous. In behalf of the Executive Committee of the American anti-slavery society. Wm. Lloyd Garrison,Pres't. Boston,July 13, 1863. The Vicksburg Captives — regiments and officers. The Vicksburg correspondent of the Chicago Tribune sends that paper a list of the Confederate general officers and regiments, battalions, batteries, &c., with the names of commanders and number of men who have been paroled. Teamsters and men detached for all kinds of duty do not appear here, neither those in hospitals. One hundred and ninety-nine staff officers on duty with the different Generals, were paroled, whose names do not

, were found on the river works, and in those at the rear. Many of the guns are very valuable. There is no way yet to compute the amount of ammunition, camp equipages, transportation trains, &c., taken. In dollars and cents it would amount to a large sum. In the arsenal I saw a large number of the Mississippi bowie knives, some two feet long. This is rather suggestive of reflection upon the usages of civilized warfare. Morgan's claim to be paroled. The Cincinnati Commercial, of July 29, (more devoted to Lincoln than the New York Tribune.) says: The news that the Vicksburg prisoners were to be paroled caused some sensation among our people, but the reports which circulated on the streets yesterday that Morgan, "the horse thief, freeboorer, and murderer," claimed to be paroled, was too astounding for serious consideration. Nobody believed that, even if Morgan did claim the parole, Gen. Burnside would listen to it for a moment. The pretence that he surrendered to a mi

We give a summary of the news: The siege of Charleston — Attack Fixed for the 13th--Monster gun to be used against Sumter. The Yankees have intelligence from Charleston to the 10th. The vessel which brought it had on board the 176th Pa. regiment, whose time had expired. A letter from "Off Charleston Bar, Aug. 10th, 5 P. M.," says: General Gillmore has notified Admiral Dahlgren that he will be in readiness to open the grand assault on Thursday, the 13th instant. The Navy is all ready, waiting for the army, so that the fight, it is believed, will commence on that day. The greatest confidence is felt as to the result.

tary trip through Dixie. Had he done so, his report would have been of a different color. The people who are fighting against the Government — the poor whites, composing the rank and file of the rebellion--nine- tenths of them do not know what they are fighting for, do not know what they are fighting against. A majority of them do not know anything — and hundreds of them never saw the American flag in their lives until they saw it march into Vicksburg in triumph. They do not know the Fourth of July, or anything else that is good. But poor and ignorant as they are, let them express their own free minds, and they will, almost to a man, demand a speedy termination of this war — would submit to almost anything rather than fight one day longer as they have been fighting. It is only by the force of bayonets that their army is kept together. Even that cannot prevent their deserters from flocking into Jackson by hundreds to take the oath of allegiance or to join the Union ranks. And I <

persons who, for whatever reasons, elect to go themselves to the army, a furlough of longer or shorter time will be granted for the purpose of the necessary preparation for departure, the settling up or arranging business details and so Substitutes will be expected to be in immediate readiness for service, and will, of course, expect no furlough. All the lists will probably have undergone the necessary examination by the 24th of the month, and the probabilities are that by the 1st of September the whole affair will be over, all the $300 paid in, and the substitutes provided for the conscripts in the service of the United States. The Daily News, approving an article in the New York Express, threatening that the draft shall not take place in New York, says: Gov.
