The Irish General Assembly- —A correspondent of the N. Y. Observer, in his account of the .General Assembly of the Presbyterian church which met in Belfast, at the close of July, says: Ihe Assembly is annually visited by deputations from sister churches, of which the Free Church of Scotland scut admirable representatives, while from the English 'Synod came Dr. James Hamilton, of Londonpone of the most honored: ministers of any cburchpaud the most genial and, loveable of men. We had the pleasure also of. a visit from two breth’ ren from Water, of the Calyinistic Methodists, whose views of Church government substantially accord with our own. fhetr addresses were most refreshing, and trie bonds of union between us and their body will be greatly, strengthened by such pleasant inter course. \ Among the* Visitors to the Assembly, was Mr. Brown lotvNorth, one of a class of. men who seem to be specially raised up at the 1 present time, to stimu late the religious community to higher efforts for the conversion of men. Mr. North, though an Episco palian, was recognised four years Since as ttn Evan gelist, by the Free Church of Scotland. Hfe subse quently Visited Ulster, and addressed the Irish As sembly during the period of the revival, exhibiting great judgment in the counsels which he administer ed to the awakened, and .especial! admonishing them to beware of resting ,in mere frames and feelings, however pleasurable.. Ho continues to prosecute his self-denying and unrequited labors, counting it sufli clent remuneration to, be the instrument in bringing any to a knowledge of the truth. ‘ The Kev. H; Grattan Guinness said recently in an open air address at Belfast, Ireland, that , though he had been a great traveller, he'had “never any where encountered so much religious profession with M little of religious vitality as he had seen among the Presbyterians of Scotland and. Ulster.” A Rev. Mr. Hanna then posted a notice that he would con front Mr, Guinness and make him retractor substan tiate his statements. The Mayor of Belfast informed Mr. Guinness that there was likely to be “danger to the peace of the town, andrequested him to postpone his meeting. This request was complied with. The nationalistic controversy in Sweden, says an exchange, is very bitter. Almost all the newspapers are vigorously enlisted on the side of error. The re ligious periodicals are filled with defence of the truth, and one or two new ones seetn to have been called into existence by the exigencies of. the limes. _ Effects of. Spiritualism.— The lunatic asylums of France have of late received large additions to their inmates from the admission of numerous pa tients whose maladies have been the result of the doctrines of spiritualism, including the usual accom paniments to table turning, mediums, rappings, and intercourse with demons. Dr. Manning is preaching at Rome against Pro testantism and all its sects. The Coleuso controversy has furnished him a pretext fori showing what he termsthe "absurdity Of Protestantism.” The Siege of Sumter has been the event of ab sorbing interest for the last two weeks. On the 17th of August our land batteries, over-looking the rebel batteries Gregg and Wagner,on the north end of Morris Island, commenced pouring a destructive fire on the walls of Sumter, over the heads of the intervening works. On the 20th—Thursday—the rebels acknowledged that our 200 pound Parrots were too .much for the walls of the fort 1 Gur nwu. advices to midnight of the Ylst were to the following effect: ; “ The rebel flag on. Fort Sumter was shot away qp .'Thursday, and again on Friday, and reply wtS made to our bombardment, which was . constantly ,kept up. . The whole of the sonthwestside of Sumter .was demolished, and presented-nothing but a heap of ruins. No guns were being fired from the fort. .At 9 o’clock on Friday morning breaches were ob served in Sumter by. means of a spyglass by the ships off Charleston bar. The siege was then pro ' gassing On our part. ' For the last'seven days'our Casualties had averaged only abqut'four per day.” The dispatches from rebel sources are as follows ; "Charleston, Aug. 20. —The fire of the enemy’s -land batteries has been kept up on Fort Samter, •and more guns disabled. There was one casualty. There was also a heavy fire on battery Wagner from the fleet and laod; also -on battery Gregg. Gen. Gilmore’s dernddd. fir the; Surrender of Fort ■Sumter and Morris Island, with the threat to shell Charleston in four hours from the delivery of the paper at Wagner, was signed and returned at seven o’clock this morning.. Beauregard, ‘in his reply, charges inhumanity upon the United States, and a violation of the laws of war; and affirms that if the offence be repealed he will 'employ stringent mea sures of retaliation, tip to , this time the threat to shell the city has not been executed. . Charleston, Aug. 23.—0 n Saturday six hundred and four shots were fired at Fort Sumter, of which lour hundred and 1 nineteen struck'inside and outside. The east wall is much scarred and battered in, and the parapet undermined. The northwest wall arch es, too, have fallen in. The gUnS Were dismounted, and one private killed. On Sabbath the land batter ies opened from south and north and the monitors from east and west, coming close up. The fire was very damaging. The east’wall- was cracked and wrecked, and the shot swept through the fort. ■ The fort is nmv a ruin, Cob Rhett is ordered, with his brave garrison to hold this opt post, even as a for lorn hope, until relieved hr taken. On Sabbath the brave Col. Gaillard, lost his life. It .is said to-day that there are 23 vessels inside, including the Iron sides and monitors, &a., and 13 outside the bar. Gen. Gilmore sent a communication at 11 o’clock on-Sabbath, giving notice that at 11 o’clock to-mor row he would open fire on Charleston. In ..the meantime the non-combatant can go oat of the city. The astounding information was • also conveyed from rebel sources that Gen; Gilmore in execution of his threat did actually throw 15 inch Parrot shells from his position on James Island into Charleston, on Sabbath night! The distance is stated to be five miles. Mr. Fulton, of the Baltimore American sends the following, dated Aug. 24th, Monday: . On Saturday at midnight, Admiral Dahlgrcn, with five monitors, advanced in the darkness on. Fort Sumter, opening fire at ,3 o’clock, and keeping it up until 6 o’clock. A dense fog then arose,;y'nich shut out the fort from view. The fort, during the five hours’ fire upon it, was struck over a hundred times, the balls tearing through the sea wall, and doubling the number of port-holes. The whole pa rapet was carried away. No signals were given un til the whole fleet opened, and the fire was one of the most terrific descriptor Sumter fired one gun. in response five times, but Moultrie, Gregg, and Beauregard, for three hours, rained shell on tne mo nitors, failing to do them any harm. The monitors were struck seven or eight times, but no, one was in jured. Sumter is defunct, and an immense pile ,of rubbish. The only gun left was thrown off the wall yesterday afternoon. Gen. Gilmore, on Thursday,! notified Beauregard that if he did pot surrender the; forts ho would shell the city within twenty-four hours. At the same time, he requested Mm to re-; move the women and children. No Attention was paid tq . this notice, and, on Friday night, General Gillmore threw a fiiteen-ineh shell into Charleston, charged with "Greek fire;” On Saturday afternoon,' Beauregard sent down a flag of truce, with anurgeut. pretest, denouncing “Greek fire” as_ a villainous compound, 'unwortny of civilized nations, and de manding that more time be allowed to remove the women and children. The English, French, and Spanish Consuls also denounced ,the short time given by Gen. Gilmore, and claimed more tinte to remove the subjects of their respective countries. General Gillmore yesterday replied by a renewal of the de mand for tbe surrender of the forts and public pro perty. Beauregard replied by asking for a,truce of forty bouts. General Gilmore refused to give any; more time or accept any other terms than an uncon-, ditional surrender. At 12 o'clock last night the shelling of the city with “ Greek fire” was resumed.; Official dispatches jfrom Gen. Gilmore and from J., W. Turner, Chief of Artillery Kdvc been received, the main parts of widish are; given Joelow, they are dated Monday Aug., 24th Gen. Gilmore says-, • Sir : I have the honor to report the practical de molition of Fort, Sumpter as the result of onr seven days’, bombardment of.tlmt work, including tsvodays during which a powerful northeasterly storm most seriously diminished the accuracy and effect of our fires. Fort Sumpter is to-day a shapeless and harm less mass of ruins. My breaching batteries were lo cated at distances varying between 3,330 and 4,240 yards from the works, and now remain as efficient as ever. I deem it unnecessary at present to continue the fire upon the ruins of Sumpter, I have also, at great labor and under a heavy fire from James Island, established batteries on my left within effective range of the heart of Charleston city, and have opened with them, after giving Gen. Beauregard due notice of my intention to do so. The projectiles from batteries en tered the city, and General Beauregard himself de signated them “ as the most destructive missiles ever used in war." The report of my Chief of Artillery and an accurate sketch of the ruins of Fort Sumpter, taken at 2,2 M., yesterday, six hours before wh ceased firing, are herewith transtaitted. Very respectfully your obedient servant, Q. A. GILMORE, Brigadier General Commanding. Col. Turner, under date of Aug. 23d, says: I have the honor to report the effect that our breaching batteries have had upon Fort Sumpter, and the con dition! of thit work to-night,. at the close Of the seventy day’s bombardment. The gorge wall of the' fort is almost a, complete mass of ruins for the dis tance.of several casemafos about midway on this facej is removed nearly and in places quite to the arches,, and but for the sand bags with which the casemates were filled, and which have served to- sustain the broken arches and masses of Masonry, it would have, long sinccbeen entirely cut away, and with it the arches to the floor of the second tier of casemates. The debris on this front now formsa rampart reach ing as high as the floor of the casemates. The parapet wall of the two northeasterly faces is completely carried away, a small portion only being left in the angle made with the gorge wall, and the rampart of these faces is also a total ruin. Quite one-half of our projectiles seem to have struck the parade and parapet of these two faces, arid judging h'om the effect they have had upon the gorge wall within our observation, the* destruction of masonry on these two sides must be-very .great; and lam of the opinion ’that nearly every arch in these, fronts must be broken in. But one gun remains in position in these two fronts, and this in the angle of the gorge, and, I think, unserviceabe. The ruin extends around, taking in the northeas terly face as far as caube seeri. ,A portion of this face, adjoining the angle it makes with the southeast erly face, is concealed. From the great , number of my missiles which have struck in this angle during the last two days, it cannot be otherwise than great ly damaged, and I do not think any guns can be left on this face in serviceable condition. The ramparts in this angle as well as the face must be ploughed up and greatly shattered, the parapet in this latter face being torn off in many places, as we can see; and I hardly think the platforms of the three remaining guns on this face could have escaped. With the assistance of a powerful glass, I cannot determine that more -than, one of the guns can be. used, arid it has been'dismounted. The carriages of, the others are evidently more or less shattered, and such is the rain of the parapet parade in the im mediate vicinity of this gun, that it probably could not be served for any length of time. In flue; the destruction of the fort is so far complete that'it is to-day of no avail in the defence of the har bor of Charleston. By a longer fire it can be made more completely a ruin, and-a mass of broken mar sonry but could scarcely be more powerless for the defence of the harbor. I therefore respectfutly submit my opinion, that the continuance of our fire is no longer necessary, as giving us no ends adequate for the consumption of our resources. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, JOHN W. TURNER, Colo nel and Chief of Artillery. - Gen. Grant has recently issued an order respect ing the inhabitants of the Western, parts of Ken tucky, Tennessee and Mississippi, in which he cn'- joins abstinence'from'guerilla* warfare and from raising recruits or apprehending deserters for the rebels within those territories. In regard to slavery he says, to the Mississippians: “ It is earnestly recommended that the freedom of negroes be acknowledged, and that, instead of com pulsory labor, c6ntracts upon fair terms be entered into between 4he..founer. nuister. ansLsamntin or between the latter, and . such other persons as may be willing to give them employment. Such a sys tem as this, honestly followed, will result in sub stantial advantages to all parties- ” This piece of advice may be regarded as indica ting the policy designed, to be pursued, in all terri tory wrested from the rebel grasp, and is an import ant link in the evidence of the purpose of Mr.*Lin coln to adhere to his great Proclamation of Jan. Ist. ; Correspondence between Gen. Dix, in command of the U. S. forces in New York City, and Gover nor Seymour, has been published, which, if possi ble, betrays more clearly than ever the unfriendly spirit ofthe latter towards the policy of the Adminis tration in putting down the rebellion. Gen. Dix wrote to Gov, Seymour as early as July 30th, -in quiring whether he could rely on the State authori ties for the maintenance of order, during the ap proaching draft in the city. It was not desired to withdraw any of the force from the Army of the Potomaq ; for this, purpose. Seymour, replied Aug. 3d, stating that he was in communication with.the President, and hoped an armed enforcement of the draft would be avoided. On the Bth, Gen.- Dix again writes to know whether the Governor wiil furnish an adequate force. On the l'sth, Governor Seymour answers,, that he has been disappointed in his application to the. President and fails to give a direct answer to Gen. DLx’s inquiry. Meanwhile, the. loyal General had, the, day previous, written to the Secretary of War for an armed force and his call was being promptly responded to.’ Hence the presence of TJ. S. troops in the eity and their ,with drawal from the front were due to the tardiness and political antipathy of the, Governor to the Admini stration. •' ‘ ’ 1 - Pursuit of Quantrell; Retaliation. —No prison ers have been taken by tbe pursuers of the outlaws who perpetrated- the Sepby-like massacre at Law rence, Kansas. About 80 have been killed, and pursuit has been so rapid that much, of the plunder taken has been dropped by the gang' on the road. By. military order; the district in Which Qnantrell’s gang was organized and which is intensely disloyal, is to be vacated of its inhabitants. It embraces three counties, and part of a fourth, reaching from the Missouri to the Osage river, on the western border. Certain districts are exempt" Those who can prove their loyalty in the proscribed district may remove to any military station in the district or to certain parts of Kansas. All others must leave within fif teen days. All hay and grain in the district within reach of the military station Will be removed thither, the remainder will be burnt. Gen. Ewing intends to destroy the housed of all persons in the border coun ties outside of the military stations, who do not re move by the 9th‘of September,’in obedience to a general order. One hundred and eighty-three bodies had been buried in Lawrence up to the 26th of Aug. Eiglity-two buildings' had been 'burned, and 85 wi dows and 240 orphans made by the raid.. . Army of the Cumberland.— An officer, just from the’ army- of Gen, Rbseerans, reports that the centre of Bragg’s army wa3 at Chattanooga when he left,' and that the left wing wag at Bolton. General Buckner was at Cleveland, with a force of 10,000 rebels. Bragg can muster an army of about 30,000 fighting troops-. The previous reports of desertions from the army of. General Bragg are fully confirmed. The mountains in'bast Tennessee are swarming with re bel deserters, and it is estimated that one thousand of them come into our lines weekly. Parties from Stevenson, Alabama, report that there are hundreds °f loyal mountaineers engaged in piloting deserters through the mountains. The Ist Louisiana Guard, at Bragg’ 3 headquarters, are reduced by desertion to less than 100 men. Tbe Steamer Lady Madison loading at ’Vicks burg August 25th with ammunition, was accidentally blown up, by the r a n 0 f a box of percussion shells. Four hundred 1 tons of artillery andlnfantry aminuni tion were destroyed. Thirty to forty lives werelost. Hebei Generals.—Gen. j c ff. Thompson was cap tured by our cavalry in a surprise at Pochahontas, Ark. Gen. Pemberton is reported dead in a duel. ■Cotton Captured. —According to a Cairo dispatch of the ibth, over 100,000 bales (?) of cotton have been captured by our forces near Natchez. ftfshirtniati (Sciuste From Rebel Sources- The Richmond Examiner, of August disapproves of the “ Yankee” institution of fast-days, it says: “ Fast-days and thanksgiving days strike the South ern car with a puritanical sound, always disagreeable, and now pre-eminently hateful. They smack of Lat ter-Day sanctity; savor of the nasal twang, and recall disagreeable reminisqenses of Praise God-Barebones, the Pilgrim Fathers, and their Yankee descendants.” It is also “ down ” on political preachers. It says: “ This revolution should secure us social, as well as political independence. We should get rid of Yan kee manners as well as Puritan laws, and one of the most obnoxious' is the vice of political preaching. * * * * * Let not our. preachers discource of Lin coln, or of Seward, or of Davis, or of Lee. Let them fulminate against Pharoah and Holofernes, and ex alt Gideon arid David. We havebroken asunder from Yankee statesmanship arid government, let us eschew* their morality an manners. We have lowered * the portcullis, and. manned the battlements against the assaults of Seward, Greeley, and Lovejoy. Great will be onr mortification and; sorrow if Beecher and Ghee-' ver should slip, in by the postern.” , The Inquirer of the same date discusses the ques tion of the ,exchange of prisoners and says: y Under -these circumstances, what hope is, there of -the arrangement of the cartel upon a footing of equality? Will Lincoln’s Government, renounce-that Audacious-pretension to treat us as criminals? . Or. will it, after deliberately enlisting our rnnaway ne groes into its military, service,, consent to give them up to -be dealt with by our State laws asrinsurgeuts ? We know very well what these questions all tend to. Wehavelong perceived that the time is at -hand - when no more prisoners will be changed and no more prisoners will be takep. Our people and our troops are entitled, at the hands of the Government, to snch protection as a Government can afford them. Onr soldiers entered the Confederate service as the sol diers of a regular Government, and they cdfnnot afford to, meet-the enemy in-the character-of malefac tors. If there is to’be no exchange on equalter'ms, better there, should be'rip exchange at all—better that the enemy should understand-thebe will be no quarter asked nor given: and then at last there will be equality. , ■ England.— -Three iron-dads of great strength and superior qualities have recently been launched by Laird of Birkenhead, the anglo-rebel shi'p-builder, designed doubtless for operations: against our coast fortifications and seaports. Our monitors now off Charleston will probably by relieved by the fall of that city, in time tp aid in beating off these new foes, furnished by English capital and sympathy. Our great iron-clads, Puritan; Dictator, and Dunder hurg, are also rapidly approaching completion, but every preparation should be made lest we be behind hand in this contest with two enemies. Erance, Austria, and Mexico.— The; Paris cor respondent of the Morning Post writes that, with the exception of the clerical party, public opinion in France does not support the policy in reference to Mexico, -and any alliance with the Confederate States is looked upon as involving France in future difficul ties.; The (Ester rische Zeitung, of Vienna, in an ar ticle on the election of the Archduke Maximilian, says: . “ The acceptance and refusal of the throne is, up to the present, a personal affair with the Arekduke. The Austrian government has in no way interfered in the question and taken no part in the negotiations relative thereto.,. The, Emperor Napoleon in commu nicating direct with the Archduke has also maintain ed this-point of view., Negotiations have been opened solely between the two high personages, and not between France and Austria. . The conduct of the Emperor has thus been marked both by courtesy and loyalty. The situation of Mexico might lead at a later period to differences, bat all this is irrelevant so long as the matters have a personal character apart from polities;” The'Spanish Council of Ministers is said ,to have approved the new situation that has arisen in Mexico. The Madrid journals are divided upon the subject. 1 Poland— The Haris, Constitutionnel announces positively that the French reply to the Russian note - Bad been the first of the answers of the three Power's' Uiop£*t,oljcm Go 04,.

Each Cabinet has replied specially on the arguments* addressed particularly to itself, but the three notes terminate with an identical paragraph once more tes tifying the unity of the views of the three Powers. Numerous copies of an appeal of Russian patriots to; the Poles,-dated from'Moscow,* had been widely cir culated in the Congress of Polarid. * The appeal ad-‘ vises the Poles to desist from a useless struggle and to unite themselves with Russia in order to establish the greatness of the Sclavonic races and to revenge themselves upon the west, by which Poland is being betrayed. The appeal finally promises the Poles an independent national existence. On the sth instant the,insurgents gained an important, advantage-over the’Russians gt Chelme; in the palatinate of Lublin. Three Russian companies were dispersed. It is as serted that the Russians, under cover of their artillery locked up their killed and wounded in a barn arid burned them, in order to eonpeal their loss. The notorious John B.
