The channel runs close in the fort, and is commanded not only by the guns of Morgan, but also by those of Gaines, the smaller fort, on Dauphins Island. No considerable rebel force is garrisoning either Charleston, Mobile, or Savannah, it is believed, but much has been done in the way of obstructing channels, and constructing defensive works along the water approaches to all three cities.

S. worth was the proper that for the position of Governor; but on his way, in conversation with none but loyal men, he discovered that the Republican ranks in all parts of the State outside of this city had been drawn upon so largely for the battle field that there was danger to be apprehended by following out the prompting of his own heart in the premises, and he determined to throw dismay into the Democratic ranks by voting for Gen. John A. Dix, and he cast and be cast his vote according

Further Northern news. From our Northern files, of the 2d instant, we continue our extracts of current news: The New York world on Lincoln's proclamation. The New York World has a long article on Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. It says that he has "swing loose from the constitutional of his inaugural address anLincoln's emancipation proclamation. It says that he has "swing loose from the constitutional of his inaugural address and his messages at the opening of the two successive sessions of Congress under his administration, and is fully adrift on the current of radical fanaticism." From the article we extract the following: He has been coerced by the insanity of the radicals, by the denunciation of their presses, by the threats of their Governor ans property depend on his own exercise of the elective franchise.

ithheld from the amount thereof accordingly. The Outlawed Federal officers. The New York Tribune, commenting on the Confederate proclamation outlawing Gen. Hunter and his assistants engaged in drilling negro regiments, says: That our Government did sanction this experiment there can be no doubt, inasmuch as it furnil are to be held in readiness to receive arms at any moment. Under these circumstances, is it just — is it manly — that our Government should still allow General Hunter and the officers directly employed in drilling the Negro Brigade to rest under the imputation of felons, thus causing them to enter every subsequent contest f their present false position. This is the more important now, when, according to trustworthy report, the whole Northwest and West are clamorously demanding that Hunter may be assigned to the consolidated command of their forces, to relieve the incapacity of Gen. Buell, and give concert and a plan to the many fragmentary and conf

After considerable disturbance with them, they committed several depredations on houses in the neighborhood, which were finally brought to a close by a volley from the guard, severely wounding one of the disturbers in the leg and enabling the guard to arrest others. On Sunday morning, the soldiers resumed their attacks upon the negroes — this time displaying their pugnacious propensities especially against those negroes dressed in Federal uniform. On the square, Deputy Marshal Steels probably saved the life of a negro by advising him to take off his coat, when the soldiers around tore it to atoms, having previously knocked the negro down several times to make him take off his clothes. On Deadrick street, they caught another negro in uniform and literally stripped it off, leaving him to escape well covered with bruises and only partially covered with rags. Another negro in uniform was caught on Gray street. At their request, he very wisely took off his military coat

In the meantime, it was our duty to use every effort to defeat the Secession ticket of Seymour and his confederates in the State. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Raymond for his aide speech, which was followed by three rousing cheers. A Revolt at the Confiscation act — what will the emancipation proclamation do?

We have now in port the Hartford, (flagship,) Brooklyn, Potomac, Susquehanna, Vincennes, Preble; the gunboats Cayuga, Kennebec, Kanawha, Westfield; the bark Gemsbok, and a lot of mortar schooners, transports, and other vessels.

This is the more important now, when, according to trustworthy report, the whole Northwest and West are clamorously demanding that Hunter may be assigned to the consolidated command of their forces, to relieve the incapacity of Gen.

Halleck from the West. Not prepared for New Levies. The New York Herald, of the 2d instant, has the following paragraph: Considerable complaint comes from the new regiments in the field that the Government is unable to supply them with tents, and much sickness is produced in consequence. The 35th Massachusetts which left the State full in number four weeks ago, has been reduced to 348 men and eight officers.
