n charge until its final abandonment. A special exchange of the fifty Confederate officers for the same number of ours in Charleston was effected on August 3. The released officers were received with cheers and a display of flags from the vessels., From Edward R. Henderson, steward of the truce boat Cosmopolitan, Quartermaster Ritchie received a list containing forty names of Fifty-fourth prisoners captured July 16 and 18, 1863, which was smuggled out by an exchanged officer. Maj.-Gen. Daniel Sickles, who was on a tour of inspection, landed on Morris Island on the 3d, accompanied by General Foster, and was received with a salute of thirteen guns. During the succeeding night two officers of the One Hundred and Third Ohio came to our lines, having escaped from Charleston, and, with the assistance of negroes, procured a boat in which to cross the harbor. The enemy's fire on Cumming's Point on the night of the 6th wounded five men of a colored regiment. A large propeller was dis

Honorable Mr. Sickles. Among the leaders of the New York regiments who are threatening to overawe the South is the celebrated Dan. Sickles, who deliberately murdered Key, his wife's paramour, in Washington, not on account of his crime, but because the public had found out what the honorable gentleman had long known and connived at. If such are the officers of the invading horde, what must be the rank and file? Honorable Mr. Sickles.

Conservative Morals. Hon. Col. Sickles and Hon, E. Brooks are fine specimens of elevated conservatism. The character of the first is well known; but it is not, perhaps, as generally understood that the last is one of the most infamous debauchees in Christendom, setting the laws of God and man at defiance in the most open and shameless manner.

From Washington. effort to step British dispatches — Sickles appointed Brigadier, &c. Washington, Aug. 8 --It is stated in generally well informed circles that Lord Lyons' dispatches to his Government about the battle of Bull's Run were declared contraband.--After Lord Lyons demanded his passport his dispatch was allowed to pass. It is understood that Dan. Sickles will be appointed Brigadier General. There is strong ground for the belief that the object of PrinDan. Sickles will be appointed Brigadier General. There is strong ground for the belief that the object of Prince Napoleon's visit is to enlighten the Emperor about American affairs. The Post master General has received the following dispatch from General Rosencranz: "The Rebels have been expelled from the Kanawha. Mail service may be resumed there."

ences have been that it has taken four companies of cavalry, seven companies of infantry, and two full batteries of artillery to reduce the "Highlanders" to a sense of their situation, and even that not until the articles of war had been read to them, and they were threatened with the loss of their colors, degradation from their place in line, and the summary shooting of their ringleaders. Not the least amusing part of this almost tragedy, however, was their virtuous objection to Gen. Daniel Sickles, whose brigade they had been ordered to join. It is said that they not only viewed in a disrespectful manner passages of that General's private history, but actually charged bayonets on him when he would have remonstrated. Again, we have the 2d Maine, on the Virginia side of the river, refusing to obey orders on the ground that they have seen the end of their three months. The unreasonable fellows were reduced to discipline by an application of McClellanism which then and there

Maryland. --If there is a single State in the Union which pre-eminently deserves the sympathies and the assistance of the Confederate States, it is the gallant, oppressed, and long-suturing State of Maryland. We had supposed that the refinements of crucify could not add to the burden of wrongs and cruelties which have been heaped upon her by the oppressor. But the shocking crimes which have been perpetrated upon women by the rabble of New York under Dan. Sickles fill the cup of agony and shame to overflowing. In the name of common humanity and justice, can the South look upon such unspeakable woe inflicted because of friendship for the Southern cause and refuse to raise an arm for her relief?

some extent, but no game was flushed! If there are any Confederate soldiers in that vicinity they had a gay time in listening to the salutes of regard, which the enemy proffered in such number and with such warmth of greeting, but to all of which they were stoically indifferent. Early Wednesday morning a large military force appeared on the Maryland side, opposite Evansport, intended, it is supposed, to prevent gallant Marylanders from crossing. This brigade was under the noted Gen. Dan. Sickles, a worthy officer in so worthy a cause as that of Lincoln. In the evening of Wednesday the "City of Richmond," under command of Lieut. Simms, steamed over to the Maryland side, and when within striking distance, opened fire on the camp of the enemy. Seven shells were sent into their midst, and the entire concern immediately performed "double quick" without troubling the officers for the command. The enemy did not return the fire. The Potomac was still clear of steamers an

He was not "a pet" of Sickles, because he used to tell him that he ought to "have shot his wife before he shot Key." As to Mr. Highland being a spy of Lincoln our in formant is not positive; but he is certain, from a letter we have seen from Major Beale, Sickles, because he used to tell him that he ought to "have shot his wife before he shot Key." As to Mr. Highland being a spy of Lincoln our in formant is not positive; but he is certain, from a letter we have seen from Major Beale, in command at the Hague, that Highland has returned to the Virginia shores after a week's trials and exposure in the woods, and, no doubt, can and will give a good account of himself.

The Fredericksburg News has a long account of the excesses committed by Sickles and his ruffians in Stafford county, a portion of which we copy: About 1,600 Yankees, with four pieces of artillery, six-pounders, each drawn by sixteen negoxing.--One asked Mrs. P. if she had any Confederate money, and on her replying no, that the army had taken it all with them, another said, that was a damned lie.

The exchanged Yankee prisoners from Charleston. The Yankee officers exchanged at Charleston have arrived in New York. In Charleston harbor they were dined by Major-Generals Daniel Sickles and Foster, and Admiral Dahlgren, to compensate them for the brutal treatment they had undergone at Charleston, some of which is thus truthfully described by a Morris Island correspondent of the New York Times: In return for this kind treatment, what have our soldiers in their hands been subjected to ? A majority of the fifty who were exchanged yesterday have been confined for months and months in prisons from which, on account of the inhuman treatment they received, they n
