Meade (search for this): article 1
The army. --The news received yesterday from the army pretty clearly shows that Gen. Meade does not design any further advance at present. The Federal forces that have occupied the south side of the Rappahannock for the past two weeks have been withdrawn, and report states that the whole army is taking the back track in the direction of Washington. What is designed by this movement is wholly matter of conjecture, and many believe that it is their intention to retire to some secure point njecture, and many believe that it is their intention to retire to some secure point to await reinforcements to be furnished by the draft now in progress at the North. The result of this movement maybe the eventual evacuation of the larger portion of Virginia cast of the Blue Ridge. That Meade does not consider himself able with his present force to meet the army of Gen. Lee, is evident by the tardiness he has evinced in following up the advantages claimed from the battle of Gettysburg.

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

s, left the horse in the care of Mrs. Plafeller, whose husband is in Gander's employ. The prisoner, knowing this fact, and that Plufeller and Gauder were both absent from the city, called on Mrs. P. last Friday afternoon and offered to take care of the horse. That evening he gave the animal a bucket of water, and the next morning he entered the stable, took the horse out of a side gate, without the knowledge of Mrs. P., carried him down on Franklin street, and offered him for sale to G. W. Blankenship, saying that his father, living near Fredericksburg, had sent him to Richmond to make the sale. Failing to sell to B., after knocking off $273 from his original price, he placed the horse in a stable near the St. Charles Hotel, and returned to Mrs. P.'s house.

From Charleston — furious bombardment. Charleston, Aug. 18. --All day yesterday the bombardment was more furious than on any previous day. The Ironsides, six monitors, and six gunboats, with all the enemy's land batteries, opened on Battery Wagner at daybreak, throwing twenty shells per minute at our works. This continued until 11 o'clock when the fleet and land batteries turned their attention to Fort Sumter. The Ironsides and six monitors approached within three-quarters of a mile of Sumter and battered vigorously against the South face of the fort. Sumter replied briskly from her barbette guns. The contest lasted about three hours, when the fleet, having been struck very often, stood out of range, with flags at half-mast. It is supposed some high Yankee naval officer has been killed. The enemy's land batteries of 200 pounder Parrott guns kept up a constant fire yesterday evening and all last night against Sumter. The roar of cannon beard in the city was tremend

The casualties at Sumter yesterday were one killed and thirteen wounded; at Battery Wagner, seven killed and twenty-four wounded. Among the killed is Capt. Wampler, of Va., chief engineer at Wagner. The cannonade was resumed at daybreak this morning, and now, at 9 o'clock A. M., is progressing with great vigor. Batteries Gregg and Wagner are unimpaired.

ressed in this paper at the time the measure was adopted, and its correctness is pretty well established. The folly of issuing notes promising upon their faces that they would be redeemed in 8 per cent, bonds is confessed by the Government itself, as it has discontinued to issue them, and unwisely, as well as unjustly, we think, determined further not to fulfill the promise thus made.--Besides, the notice that a part of those notes would not be converted into bonds at all after the first of August, and another part only at 4 per cent., was entirely insufficient to enable the holders to bring them in, however much inclined they might have been to do so. That currency was floating everywhere, to the utmost extremities of the Confederacy. Even could the new notes of the 1st of April and subsequently have been disseminated rapidly enough to supply a currency to take their place, they could not have been collected and delivered in due time. So the holders were required to perform an
