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

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

Numerous copies of an appeal of Russian patriots to;

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

locked up their killed and wounded in a barn arid
burned them, in order to eonpeal their loss.

THE RICHARDSON PREMIUM
BURIAL CASKETS.
Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or
other material, and air-tight
by the novel invention of patent .Circular Ends, with
out any joints, making it impossible for oxygen to pe
netrate from the outside, thus rendering them more
durable, arid better adapted to the' purposes for which
they are heeded. .■> ; , ; .....
1 bey are tastefully manufactured from grained Rose
wood, Mahogany, Black Walnut.; and other materials
that render them less expensive and place them With
in the means of persons of moderate circumstances!
and un finished according to the wishes and taste of
those giving the orders. , •
While the Casket retains all the requisites of an ap
propriate receptacle for the dead, its construction and
appearance is such, as entirely to do away with all dis
: agreeable and unpleasant sensations. There is noth
. ing in the arrangement or shape of the Casket, that is
; W*: the remotest ..degrfee repulsive, but;, quite the con
trary, 4 i®, beautiful. ~ Andi surely that which tends in
i any degree to soften the .poignancy of grief in the
litmr ofbereayenienti'must commend itself to the fa
vorable consideration of every afflicted heart,' and
sympathizing friend.: - ' i
■The Caskets wheh required, ■ ar,e made air-tight,
emitting no offensive, odor; and hejice are specially
valuable in the removal of deceased bodies from any
of the battle fields, aid other distant points to remote
localities fir' interment, and are not liable to the ob
jections frequently made by Railroad Companies,
When offered for transportation with the usual prepa
rations.
We guarantee, in our hands, the removal of the
dead with perfect safety, no matter how long buried,
and if recently interred, in a good state of preserva
tion, and without the least unpleasant odor, or we
will make no charge for the Casket. !
The Caskets are furnished .at one-half the cost of
the soralled metalUc;eoffin. • ■
: N-B-—We expect; to visit the different battle fields
weekly. : „
The undersigned also offers to the public in gene
ral, his Patent Corpse Preserver, a New Invention,
for the preservation of the bodies of deceased persons,
by cold air alone, and without the application of ice,
which is so repugnant to the feelings. By the nse of
this Preserver, the funeralmaybe deferred for weeks,
if necessary , to await the Arrival of absent friends, as
by the cbla air process, the corpse wifi keep much
longer than in the ordinary way of pressing the body
down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of iee, and
saturating it with water.
