hree got wounded, 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.

From Tennessee. --On Sunday, 9th instant, three regiments of the left wing of Rosecrans's army advanced on and attacked Sparta. They were gallantly repulsed by Gen. Forrest, who had but one regiment of Tennesseeans. The enemy made three distinct charges, in each of which they were repulsed, and were finally routed, leaving their stead upon the field. Our information is that the enemy impressed from citizens buggies, carriages, and wagons to carry their wounded towards Nashville. Our loss is reported to be only six. One of the enemy's regiments engaged is said to have been the 4th regulars. On the Wednesday of last week two regiments of Yankee cavalry appeared at Huntsville, remaining but a short time, and disappearing without doing injury to people property. Judge Robert L. Caruthers has been elected Governor of Tennessee, in place of Gov. Harriss.

thing of much importance. 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. 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

Latest from the North. The New York Times, of Friday last, the 14th inst., has been received. It contains nothing of much importance. 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.

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

house. As soon as Mrs. P. saw him, she demanded to know where the horse was. Schwartz answered that he did not know — that he had tracked him from the stable to the neighborhood of Camp Lee, where he lost the trail. Mrs. P. told him his statement was false — and described the manner by which he had gotten the animal out of the stable. Schwartz then admitted that he had taken the horse — that he did so for revenge — but promised to return him if Mrs. P. would give him $50, which she declined to do. Other parties testified to seeing the prisoner have the horse in his possession, and to his offering him for sale. Schwartz, through his counsel, admitted the taking of the horse, but proposed to prove that he was one half owner — that the animal belonged to the Yankee Government — that Plufeller and himself captured it — and that he had a right to one half its value. To enable him to show that he had not been guilty of a felony, the investigation was adjourned till the 29th

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

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 <

, 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
