ffence. A number of wooden vessels have also been furnished with Whitworth guns and otherwise fitted to take part in the attack. Gen. Gilmore has command of the large land force which was to cooperate with the navy. The present plan was to first attack and take the batteries on Morris's Island. If they were captured it was expected that their big guns would be turned upon Sumter, and our iron-clads would then be aided in humbling the for tress. It is generally believed that most of Beauregard's troops were sent to join Lee before the battle of Gettysburg, and it is thought there were but few men under arms at Charleston. At last accounts the Federal forces both land and sea were determined that Charleston should fall this time, if hard fighting would accomplish it. Miscellaneous On the 11th inst, Lieut.

It was one of those scenes that fill the mind with wonder — that bring the problem of life and the mysteries of philosophy up like bidden ghosts, and, like him whom the reverend ghost of Samuel quilled, sinks back and feasts again. At the southern crest of the circle of hills appeared three horsemen. One of them — the first--was tall, of about forty-seven years of age, clad in gray, and mounted upon a bay horse. Upon his chin was a beard a la Napoleon; his eye of a dark that might be black; his hair of the same; complexion brown. The next was upon a gray horse, clad like the first. He, too, was tall — a gray eye, brown, full beard, brown hair, full forehead, and a pleasant look that indicated. I may be mistaken in this, but I think you are the ones to blame. The third was about the height of the others, but rather broader at the shoulders, though small at the waist. His hair was soft and long, his beard of a Chesnut, the same as his<

am, General, very respectfully, your obedient serv't, U. S. Grant, Maj. Gen'l. Gen. Bowen, the bearer of Gen. Pemberton's letter, was received by Gen. A. J. Smith. He expressed a strong desire to converse with Gen. Grant, and accordingly, while General Grant declining this, requested Gen. Smith to say that if Gen. PemGen. Smith to say that if Gen. Pemberton desired to see him an interview would be granted between the lines, in McPherson's front, at any hour in the afternoon which Gen. Pemberton might appoint.

At half-past 3 o'clock General Grant, with his staff and several Generals, went to the rGeneral Smith, appointing 3 o'clock as the hour. At half-past 3 o'clock General Grant, with his staff and several Generals, went to the rendezvous appointed, which was a small vale where fig trees and peach and apricot had bloomed in happier days — a hill on either side. On the crest of either hill, only about four hundred feet apart, were the forts of friend and foe, and beneath these were rifle pits filled with men. It was a strange sight; thousands of men who ha

Hooker had a long consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury this morning. The fighting of the Confederates at Gettysburg. The Baltimore American has the following paragraph about the desperate fighting of the Confederates at Gettysburg: The whole of the artillery at the battle of Gettysburg was commanded by Gen. Tyler, of Connecticut, who writes that all of the reserve artillery was brought up, and the Rebels fought with the greatest desperation, charging up to the very muzzle of his guns, and shooting his gunners; but their desperation and reckless ness could not save them. In some cases they would charge upon a battery and disable every man at the guns, and would then either be destroyed or driven back by our own equally determined heroes. He says that the Rebels, not withstanding their terrible los

Sanborn, who was drilling a negro military company, and while in front of Andrew Foster's dry goods store on Main street, Norfolk, was shot, one ball passing in at the mouth and out behind the ear, and another ball passed through his body, entering the left shoulder and passing out at the right. Lieut. Sanborn died in about 15 minutes afterward. Dr. Wright, of Norfolk, is charged with the murder. The New Albany (Ind) Ledger, of July 9, says that a gentleman engaged in recruiting a Union company at Frankfort reached Madison yesterday. He reports that 300 rebels enter

Pemberton's letter, was received by Gen. A. J. Smith this, requested Gen. Smith to say that if Gen. Pemberton desired to see him an interview would be gthe fact that he was a rebel. Such were Pemberton, Bowen, and Montgomery. Perhaps it is well Colonel Montgomery said, "General Grant, General Pemberton. " They shook hands like strangers--"Ala."

He, too, was tall — a gray eye, brown, full beard, brown hair, full forehead, and a pleasant look that indicated. I may be mistaken in this, but I think you are the ones to blame. The third was about the height of the others, but rather broader at the shoulders, though small at the waist. His hair was soft and long, his beard of a Chesnut, the same as his hair, and of the style known as English, very fine teeth, and if I were a woman I could kiss him, so kissable was his mouth. Of course I am losing sight of the fact that he was a rebel. Such were Pemberton, Bowen, and Montgomery. Perhaps it is well to divest ourselves of prejudice at times and look at things as they are. On the other crest came heroes. Their pictures are in all parlors, their names on all lips. The leader, one who will live while history shall endure and fame sings the praises of those who battle fo

It is sincerely to be hoped that measures will be taken to test the constitutionality of the law which threatens to remove sixty odd thousand of our citizens from the State of New York, before a single individual is permitted to be forced, against his will, to take part in the ungodly conflict which is distracting the land. It is said that Gov. Seymour openly expresses his belief that neither the President nor Congress, without the consent of the State authorities has any right to enforce such an act as is now being carried into effect under the auspices of the War Department, but that he thinks his interference would do more harm than good, and that the question ought to be settled by the Courts. The manner in which the draft is being conducted in New York is such an outrage upon all decent and fairness as has to parallel and can f
Wendell Phillips (search for this): article 8
No allowance is made for the militia who are in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and the $300 to be paid by rich conscripts, instead of purchasing substitutes, is to be diverted, against the spirit of the law, to some other direction. The evident aim of those who have the Conscription act in hand, in this State, is to lesson the number of Democratic votes at the next election. The miscreants at the head of the Government are bending all their powers, as was revealed in the late speech of Wendell Phillips, at Framingham, to securing a perpetuation of their ascendancy for another four years, and their triple method of accomplishing this purpose is to kill off Democrats, stuff the ballot-boxes with bogus soldier votes, and deluge recusant districts with negro suffrages. The crafty, quiet way in which the enrollment has been carried on forestalled both criticism and opposition. Nevertheless, the work has neither been fairly performed, nor has it been thorough. And now that it is over the

s last fight, but think it probable the enemy left this side altogether, taking his raft over with him. In conclusion, let me remark--Do not think that General Lee's army has been defeated, though this campaign has ended in the manner stated. I write this from facts, without being influenced by any other consideration than a desire to report the pure and simple truth, known to be truth from actual observation, and an unprejudiced criticism of what I saw and heard. A dispatch from Washington, dated the 11th, says: This has been a gloomy day in Washington. The joyous anticipations of bagging the whole of Lee's army were this afternoon dissipated by the official information that the rebel army had escaped and succeeded in crossing the Potomac without another battle. Much chagrin is expressed in official circles at Gen. Meade having permitted the enemy to escape without another fight. The disappointment was aggravated by the intelligence coming every hour of the incre
