the Situation ban not materially rhnnged since
the enemy's victory over our iron-clads on last

Oar U nicer Exrhanirea t hRrleiloii
It will lo recollected that some tiuio in June
last, after the enemy had persisted in savagely
' t ring, without any military ohject. upon the city
and non-conibataut citions of Charleston, our
authorities determined to try what effect would
be produced upon the enemy by quartering in a
portion of Charleston, within range of bis gum, a
amber of his officers of highest rank, then in
oar hands. Fifty Yankee ollleers general,
colonels, and majors were stmt to Charleston
for that purpose, and duly confined in a quarter of
the cily exposed to tho Yankee shells.
Immediately on hcirlnir of this proceeding, the
Yankee Government selected lifty of our ollleers
in their prisons to be exposed to our fire before
Charleston, and even went to work to construct,
cabins for their conlinement on Cutnmir.g's 1'olnt,
(Le end of Morris Island, not mure than a thou
sand yards fiom Fort Sumter, and also ccriscd
to the lire of oi her battel U s.

we have failed to obtain, were those of ouroiil-

These otKceri were taken out of Fort Dcla
' ware on the liiith of June, and put aboard the
gunboat Diwjoon, und transported to Hilton
Uead, where they arrived en the fourth day after
leaving Fort Delaware. The cabins at Cummings'
Point, with the construction of which our gun
Bers at Sumter ore said to bare interfered con
siderably, were ready for their reception, und
ttaey.no doubt, would have been put into them
torihwiiu but fur a certaiu message from General
Samuel Jones. General Jones informed the
Yankee General Foster that if he put our officers
en Cummings' Point, be (Jones) would remove
the Yankee clficers from Charleston and put
them iu the r.io-t exposed p irt of Fort Sumter.
This was a stunner for Foster; ho knew Uen
eral Jones would execute his threat to the letter,
and that in that cae either the siege of Sumter
Bust lie abjndoned or else every one of tho ei
tive Yenkee oDIots would be tora to pieces by
the gnus of their friends lu three or four days.
In this dilemma Foster ret lined our ollleers ut

We do not know what passed bowen the

WASiiiNMON,Aag. 13. ihe star say thoniad
Ptcamer John lirouki has arrived this morning,
from City Point. Ailairs at the front remain
much the same ns at last rciirts, with the ex'ep.
Hon that during Tlmrday night and yesb-rday
morning houvy firing was going on in Uuinsidc's
front. Tho John llrookt brought up six refugees
from Richmond, nnd twenty-one deserters from
the llebcl army, including Lieutenant Mix, of
Georgia, of the 1st Confederate battalion.
The names of the rel'ugcesare Edward Powers,
Charlie Glblan, John Morris, M. Koaeh, M,
Conway, and l'etcr Doylo. They left Richmond
on Thursday night ut K o'clock, lu charge of a
guide, to whom they paid from three hundred to.
Ave hundred dollars each in Confederate scrip for
piloting them to tho rlvor, and they walked
twenty-ttvo miles, through woods, to Ilaxull
farm, and came out t a gunboat, from whence
they were sent yesterday morning to Ci'y Point
in time to take tho John WrW. j.
They represent that there nro no males (men
or boys) in Illclimond, except thoso In Govern
ment employ. The men aro nearly all In the
army, eveirto old men over lil'fy-llvc, who form
the militia of the State.
On Saturdny last four trains of twonty cars
-nved in Richmond, bearing a body of
cach
tersb'irg, said to be a divMim, au4
troops from i
' on the Coutral road to rd-
they left imiucdiat,
inforco F.arly lu tho valley.
A large body of cavalry arm?l on the s.imo
day, coming by raiiroaj, nnu uepi.-v v.
same destitution.
One of this patty of refugees worked OttttoYiO
Inland, and states that when he Icli there woro
but five Federal prsotKr t'iwrv, the others hav
ing all been sett Sj'tf rt', to Georgia. There are
but few Fi'dojijfl ii)ii;rs iri Libby, in fact, none
'ut sjiU aud w.-iindcd .u-e kept tt?''C over a few
days, J
t t ie time the Danville Railroad was cut,
piisoners were made towalkonfoot some seventy
miles before I'icy took the railroad, and refugees
beard the guards, when they returned, say that
many gavo out aud died on the road.
There arc no troops in or about Richmond,
ex vpt in the fortifications ; those on the south side
I eirgr fully garrisoned, while those on tho north
side have barely enough men in them to keep
them in order.
One of these refugees drove a baker wagon,
and snys he sold loaves of bread weighing six
ounces at ouo dollar, and bacon had lately fallen
in prico, it being now quoted at from seven to
ten dollars per pound, Instead of from eight to
eleven.
The deserters from the army above-mentioned
have belonged to difTorent regiments, and h ive
left their lines at different tiiacs, some as late ns
Monday, 1st August inst. Most of them aro
from Florida, Alabama, and Georgia, aud have
not generally served over one year, but that year
has been enough.
Those from the States named above say that
there is a sort of half mutiny among the troops
of those Sintos, who aro Bick of war, und anxious
to give in. The ollleers, however, niarjago to keep
them from derciting by mailing them believe if
they come over to our lines that Grant will put
tliciu in the front ranks.
They stafo that for n long time -ome of them
believed this nonsrnsc, and were deterred from
coming over; and they are satislied if the men in
the Alabama, Georgia, and 11 ri la rcgiiueutH
knew that they would be treated well, dosjrlions
would lie cxtennive.
They represent flic works at Petersburg us
very strong, and do not bclicvo that General
Grant, or any one else, can take them by storm,
but say that had our men acted promptly when
we blew up their fort we could have entered
the town easily ; but the goldon opportunity is
passed, and we cannot possibly gain another op
portunity so favorable.
The houses in the city have been pretty well
battered, and many destroyed, sonio of them by
tire. Nearly all the tiro engines belonging to
Riebmoud aro in Petersburg, nnd they have a
regularly organized fire department, composed
of soldiers, who are ready at a momont's warn
ing to go to work and extinguish the fires occa
sioned by General Grant's shells.
Most of these deserters have been stationed at
the front, and cannot, they say, form any correct
estimate of the strength of the Confederate force
at Petersburg, but none of them believe that their
entire army exceeds fifty thousand mon, aud
brigades und divisions are being sent away once
or twice every week, to other points.
Conscripts are constantly being received, how
ever, and their army may be for some tiino kept
up by these accessions.

THE EXPLOSION AT TI Y 1MIT.
Heiiiiakti:hs Ahmv ok tub Potomac,
August 11. Tho cause of the explosion at City
Point has not yet been ascertained, and probably
never will bo, ns the only persons who could
givo any account of the matter were thoso on the
boat at the time, and not one of them is believed
to liavo escapctli
There were live or sis soldiers on guard on the
vessel, and they, with a number of Idlers, woro
occupied in fishing at the time, nnd none of them
have tlnce been found. Of tho large crowds of
negro laborers at work ou the boat there were
about twenty-five dead found, anil alloying for
thoic blown overboard aud missing, there wore
at least fifty killed.
The number in.inred Is believed to bo about
100, many of whom aro scattered in different
places, nnd whoso mimes cannot be ascertained.
One man, who bad been kept a prisoner at
Headquarters for six or seven nion'hs, an 1 wlrj
had been tried and convie'ed for some offnuse,
but laid not been sent off to the Dry Tortugas, us
ordered, had becu released, und his time being
up was on bis way borne.
He was visiting a companion on the hou at the
time, und must have been blown into the river,
its Ids boil v was found on the shore, three miles
below Cily Point, yesterday ufienioon. A num
ber of instances of hair-bicailth e-capes are re
lated, many of which seem almost miraculous;
und when the scene is visited, and the large quan
tity of debris which covered the ground iu the
vicinity is witnessed, it Is surprising that thou
sands, instendof hundreds were not involved in
the calamity.
A soldier of the 1th V'nited States Regular
was a sentry on the boat at tho time, and some
of his comrades teeing the air tilled with missiles,
told him to run and hide, but be refused to leave
his post, nud fortunately escaped injury. This
man had been tried four years ago for au olfenso,
and condemned to forfeit all pay except one
dollar u month during the remainder of his term
of service.
A few days ago be receivcil intelligence through
the Adjutunt-Generars Olllee, that tho lino had
been remitted for gallant services in front of the
enemy. This net of bravery, in remaining at his
post, regardless of danger, shows how well he
de.crved con.-idcrallon at the hands of the Gov
ernment. A large forco of laborers are at work clo tt ing

The Military Commission appointed by the
Prcsideut to iuvostigate the causes of the failure
of the late assault on Petersburg) continued its
eossioas on Wednesday. General Hurnsido was
present and examined, and gave his version of
the affair. G. neral Meado, It is known, had been
examined on the Monday previous.
General Iltirnside claimed that be carried out
the orders of his superior officer, a:id that neither
he nor the ollleers of his troops were to blame for
the failure. It is w?ll understood, however, that
General Meade insists that liurn.side did not
carry out his orders, but, on the eontrary, failed
both to attack as ordered, and to answer tele
grams sent from 104 o'clock in the evening of
the 20th until next morning.
During the morning of the attack not less than
sixty -four dispatches were sent by General Meade
to Gcucral llumside. The claim of the latter
that General Meade having the night before tho
attack made some change in the plan of operations,
be supposed General Meade would be on hand
personally to direct the assault, will not, it is be
lieved, be allowed. The universal sentiment of
the army, outsido of the !'th Corps, atllrtus the

DisounuiLY Fihbmcs. During the proce;: iou
yesti rday afternoon, the driver ot the Kensing
ton Hose S. earner, who was intoxlea:cJ, bccimo
disorderly kat Eighth and Washington streets,
and was remonstrated with by one of the Chief
Marshals of the parade. The latter finally called
upon Ofliccr Sherlock, of the First District, to
remove the man and take him away, as his pre
sence whs calculated to do no goad. The oihcer
laid bold of Ihe driver, when four or five mem
bers of the company rushed ut hiui, and a scn't'.n
ensued, during which the oilicer lost bis star.
The proecssion moved on, and when ut Tivoif.'h

decided that, under the act of July I I, 1HG2, the
same rights lu regard to pensions are granted to
those called into tho service for one buudrod
days (and to their widows or dependent relatives,
in rae of death) as to those who have enlisted
for tho term of three years. This law, under
which nil pensions bused ou service in 1 he pre
sent war are allowed, is une Uivo,'iil in its lan
guage, making no distinction between tboso on
gaging for a longer or a shorter period. By and
by It will be discovered and bo generally under
stood that a hundred days volunteer is as mush a
soldier us any other volunteer, and has rights no
more nor no loss.

' PisTii.i.ivo Wi ruov 1 I.t tvsi;. Henry Shear
was charged before U. S. Commissioner Sorg" ml,
yesterday, with carrying on the business of a
ilistlUer, without having first, obtained a license
therefor. Before proceeding with tho examination
of wltnesos, the Assistant District Attorney
stared that some time ago proceedings were com
menced against the defendant before Cnmmis
sionei Smith, which prosecution had been aban
doned. The -ensed Is a manufacturer of vinegar, and
uses dis'llled plrit In the maniifaeture of It:
Hint, nrder the law as it then was, tho question
nroe, was be roqulre.l to tako out a license tor
the, distillation of spirits used ou his o.vn pro
Misesfor umniiiaeliirbig iurpoes Theqiiostion
was referred to tho Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, nud he d cided that no license wai re
qnirel nn'br sivli circnmstetn'cs. Mince tben
tho law has been altered and it is now embraced
in its provisions, even thovgh only distilling
spirits to be used by himself for mnnufrteturing
purposes; but the evidence wo jld show that be
has betn selling the spirits to be tt-cd by other'
persons.
The evidenco of Mr. .Tcpr Hardiu.r, Cnllcctor
of Revenue forthe First District, nnd Timothy
Dwycr, an employee 01 the s .cused, substantiate 1
these facts.
Mr. shear expressed his willingness to oom ly
with tho law, but the diitlculty in the a of a
compromise was the amount of revenue claimed
of the defendant on tho first gallon of spirits
manufactured by him since tho new law wen',
into ( fleet some ten thousand dollars.
The accused was held in tjf2VH) for his appear
ance at Court. The extent of punishment, on a
conviction for carrying on the business of a
distiller without a license, Is two years' Impri
sonment. Ai.i.roi:n Coxtiiviiand Locomotives Si:ii:t.
