d were sunk or destroyed. The Fanny, the little propeller that was taken from us some short time ago by the rebels, was in the fight and was burned. Our boats advanced to the attack in three columns — the first being led by the gunboat Stars and Stripes, under the command of Captain Wordent; the second by the Louisiana, in charge of Captain Bunnay; and the third by the Heizel, under charge of Captain Davenport. The gunboats that were nearest to the forts and batteries, were the Ceres, Putnam, Valley City, Commodore Perry, Bringer, and the Whitehead; all the others were in the immediate vicinity, but the above-named boats were the closest in. One of the shots of the enemy took effect in the bow of the Louisiana, but no one was in the least injured by it. The Heizel lost one man; she burst one of her rifled Parrott guns. Some splendid firing was made by the gunboat Hunchback, and the greatest praise was showered upon all for the indomitable courage displayed upon the occasio

State of the case. On reviewing our history for the past four months, and comparing it with similar crises in the both of our own revolution and those of other nations, we feel surprised that the Yankees should feel any great degree of exultation, and that there should be any, even the smallest, depression on the part of the South. Almost at the commencement of the war with Great Britain--in December, 76--the American army, under the orders of Putnam, was attacked on Long Island by an over whelming force of British regulars. Its flank was completely turned, a large body made prisoners, and, driven to their works, the panic stricken remnant would have been put to the sword or compelled to surrender, had the British General allowed his troops to indulge the ardent, desire which they had to carry the defences by storm. Providence seemed to have interposed at the propitious moment to stay the hand of the victor. Instead of assaulting, he made his men camp on the ground; the oppo

number called for by the Conscription Act, the amount asked for was not raised with the rapidity desired. I, therefore, on the 4th inst., issued orders calling for the militia between the ages of 35 and 45 years, from the counties of Washington, Smythe, Grayson. Carroll, Floyd, Pulaski, Wythe, Montgomery, Roanoke, Botetourt, Craig, Alleghany, Greenbrier, Monroe, Gilus, Mercer, Bland, Tazewell McDowell, Wise, Buchanan, Lee, Scott, Russell, Raleigh, Wyoming, Logan, Boone, Wayne, Cabell, Putnam, Kanawha, Mason, Clay, Nicholas, Fayette, Braxton, Webster, Pocahontas, and Randolph. Surely it is not necessary to appeal to the people of these counties to rally to the standard raised by their own State for their own defence. Surely Virginians will prefer a draft made under the Constitution and laws of Virginia to one made by that detestable tyranny now characterizing the Government of the United States. Our object is to expel from our soil its invaders, who are waging against us a

An order from Gen. Hunter. The following order, issued by the Federal Commandant of the Department of the South, recently fell into the hands of an officer on the South Carolina coast, by whom it was sent to Adjutant Gen. Cooper. No comment upon such an order is required: Headq'rs Department of the South, Hilton head, port Royal, S. C., Aug. 19, 1862. General Order, No. 27. I. The 7th Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers, Col. Putnam, will be held in readiness to embark for Saint Augustine, Florida, of which place it will hereafter form the garrison. * * * * II. It is with deep regret that the General commanding this department has received several reports against officers for returning fugitive slaves in direct violation of a law of Congress. It will hardly be believed when it is announced, that a New England Colonel is to- day, in the second year of the rebellion, in arrest for having been engaged in the manly task of turning over a young woman, whose skin

ading rebel Generals are not a great distance from our lines, and that the rebel army has not yet retreated up the Shenandoah Valley. The rebels have sent their sick and wounded back to Staunton, evidently anticipating an early movement of the Army of the Potomac. It is believed that no large force of the enemy have crossed to the eastward of the Blue Ridge. Alleged defeat of Guerilla Bands. A dispatch from Gen. Curtis, dated at St. Louis, says 1,500 Confederates were defeated at Putnam's Henry, on the 27th, --Killing several and taking over prisoners." The following is a dispatch from General Davis, (who killed Nelson,) at Columbus, Oh. The expedition to Clarkson, Mo., 34 miles from New Madrid, under command of Capt, Roger Cook, of the 2d llinois Artillery, has been entirely successful in dispersing the guerillas, killing 10, wounding 2, and capturing Colonel Clark, in command, a Captain and 3 Lieutenants, 3 Surge one, 37 men, 70 round of arms, 42 horses, 13 mules an

le train brought down one hundred and eighteen prisoners, captured by Gen. Floyd's command, in a recent raid through several counties in Western Virginia and Kentucky.--Among them were four commissioned officers: Capt. Gramm, a Pennsylvanian; and Lieut. Wade, a citizen of Putnam county, Va., both of the U. S. Regulars; and Captain Dameron and Lieut. Dameron, citizens of Wayne county, Va., and belonging to a band of organized bushwhackers. The majority of the prisoners are from Logan, Wayne, Putnam, and Kanawha Va., and the rest from the counties of Pike, Johnston and Lawrence. The greater number are soldiers, belonging to the 29th Kentucky and the 5th Virginia Union regiments.--Five among them are deserters from the Confederate service. They were under the charge of Capt. Oliver, of Floyd's command, and 43 men. On their arrival they were met by a detachment of the Public Guard, and marched to the Virginia armory building, where prison quarters had been prepared for them and where th

From Charleston. The following official dispatch was received at the War Department yesterday: Charleston, July 22.--The enemy recommence shelling again yesterday, with but few casualties on our part. We had, in the battle of the 18th inst., about one hundred and fifty killed and wounded. The enemy's loss, including prisoners was about two thousand.--Nearly eight hundred were buried under a flag of truce. Col. Putnam, acting Brigadier General, and Col. Shaw, commanding the negro regiment, were killed. (Signed,) G. T. Beauregard, Gen'l.

e 15 inch shells had driven the rebels from the bombproof, and if there had been a strong infantry support in rear of the fort, we had made it impossible for them to remain there and had slaughtered them by hundreds." Gen. Strong's brigade and Col. Putnam's brigade, under this impression, were ordered forward. The correspondent of the New York Times says: This was at dusk, and both brigades were formed in line on the beach, the regiments being disposed in columns, except the colored regif an hour. Sumter in the meanwhile being joined in the cannonade by the rebels in battery Bee, but without effect upon our troops. It was now quite dark and the order was given for both brigades to advance, General Strong's leading, and Colonel Putnam's within supporting distance. The troops went forward at quick time and in deep silence, until the 54th Massachusetts, led by its gallant Colonel Shaw, was within 200 yards of the work, when the man gave a fierce yell and rushed up the glaci

The body was not identified, and at night was buried on a land bluff. It will probably be impossible to recover Colonel Putnam's body. On Monday LieutenColonel Putnam's body. On Monday Lieutenant Ben, who was captured by us, severely wounded, in the engagement of the 10th, died at our hospital. Last evening Dr. Craven, chief medical officer; Lieutenant-Colonel Hull, Provost Marshal, and General Vodges, went with a flag of truce to return the body. They were met first by Captain Tracey, and afterwards by General Heywood and Colonel Cates, formerly member of Congress. They had a very pleasing interview, and talked quite freely on some points "We intend to be a great nation yet," sai
