or stay any part of the seam, or fasten the ends of seams:
without turning the fabric or stopping the machine.
6th. it is the most rapid sewer in the world, making

(Special CorreePieid. once of The Press,
DIT CHIEN, W/8., Sept. 13, 1863." -
The war has spread itself throughout the entire
Northwestern States, if one were to judge by the
eirtension of semi-military law over this region. Six
hundred miles from the Ohio river and three hun.
fired below the most southern limit of the Indian
war in Minnesota, we find district commanders and
provost marshals. On second glance We ascertain
that these officials are located here for the purpose
of perfectiewlhe enrolment isnd carrying out the
provisions of the Conscription law. Their duties
are not child's play, especially in the more sparsely
settled regions.
In Illinois there has been much talk of resistance
to the draft, anda bitter feeling has sprung up be
tween the two great parties that are respectively
for and againet the suppression of the rebellion. I
wrote Yousreiiently that the Copperheads had armed
themselveir in; several portions of 'that State, and
were openirperfecting themselves in drill. For the
past twe,weeks they have been more quiet, but they'
were none the' less busy. The announeentent that
there was to'be no draft in'the State was probably
the cause of .-the cessation of their activity of prepa
ration, Since it has been again announced that the
draft will go on. as projected, they have galvanized
themselsoee anew. ' •
If everithing is judiciously managed, there will be
no eerioris disturbance. An accumulation of mili
tary force-in various portions of the State, and
particularlY in Chicago, will be an excellent pie
ventive. am of opinion that the State authori
ties will; ot begin operations under the drafting
law until such necessary preparations have been
made. No one-of •the Western States wishes an
enactment of the New Yo f k disgrace within her
borders. -
Just at present, Chicago has a liberal sprinkling of .
Visitors from Kentucky and Tennessee. A large
portion of the rank and, file of Morgan's command
succeeded in prosecuting their "journey due North"
as far as Camp Douglas. As most of the men are
from Kentricky and Tennessee,their friends have paid
a villit to the city of propellers, in the full expecta
tion of admission within the enclosure. They are
deeply chagrined to find an order forbidding the ad
mission of any one except upon a pass from the dis
trict commander, a document that is very difficult
to obtain. All day long crowds of these friends can
be seen outside the enclosure peering through the
cracks in the hope of finding their familiars.
Occasionally, letters are thrust through these con
venient loop-holes, but they are usually overhauled
before reaching their destination. All luxuries, ex
cept in limited quantities, are forbidden. Even the
Northern organ of , secession, the Chicago Times, is
tabooed, . and the inmates , of Canip Douglas are
forced to go without this morning crumb of consola
tion. Ex-Governor Magoffin, of Kentucky, is one
of the visiters at Chicago, his son bethg among the
prisoners at the camp.
In Wisconsin there is but little display of op
position to the laws of the nation. Early in
the season there was much talk, but it has
somewhat died away. In Milwaukee the threat
was made that there should be no enrolments
and for some time the authorities were unable to
find any one to accept the office of local provost
marshal. When the fortunate man was found he
proceeded with his labors without molestation; the
• enrolment was completed/With only some three or
four " ducking's" of the enrolling officers. In the
smeller cities there was no trouble whatever, and
therlicials have everything in readiness for the
411 .. enever it sha ll be ordered.
There is no electionthis autumn in Illinois, but
there will be one in Wiscorisin. An entire State
ticket isSci be elected. The Copperheads have their
nominations complete, and have laid down a plat
form of stupendous length.. It is
the production of
a noted CoPperhead politician of Milwaukee, and
contains the usual nonsense rung upon the stale
catchwords of the party leaders.' The Copperheads
do not anticipate a success in the election, but are
determined to try their strength with - their oppo
nents. They are not:putting forth their strongest
efforts at present, but will probably do so as the time
for .the election approaches. They attempted a
dodge to secure the say vote, but their plan has at
thitearly datetfallen through..
The Republicans and • war Demoerats united their
strength in one body, to be known as the Union
party. The nominations were_ made so as to allow
a fair pro Portion to each wing, and throw the con
solidated vote upon one ticket that would be sure to
carry the day. Some of. the more, avaricious' of the
war Democratiargued that, as they held thebalance
of power, all the nominations should be given to
them, and the Republicans must stand ready to give
their votes.- Of course, this gave rise to a difference
of opinion, and a split was the consequence. A
third ticket will be run, but it will not get a large
vote. Many of .the ware Democrats will vote the
consolidated ticket as first made out, and the chances
are largely in favor of its success.
In lowa, both antagonists in the struggle-for the
gubernatorial honors were military men, who have
won distinction in the field. The Copperhead nomi
nee, Gen. Tuttle, could net stand on the platform
laid down by the leaders, as his letter of acceptance
• demonstrated. The nomination was made in order
to secure the army vote, but the plan is a most
amazing failure for. the devisers. Gen. Tuttle's old
regiment has passed -a series of resolutions de
nouncing his , political course, and at the same time
speaking highly of him as a soldier.
The friends of Col. Stone, the Republican. candi
date, will take care to have this protest of General ,
, tuttle'e regiment circulated widely in the other re
giments in the field, sothist when the votes are taken
there will be very few cast for the Copperhead tick
et. The election will Probably be more exciting,
than in Wiecensin, as the parties are more nearly
equal in strength. Some of the violent Copperheads
have withdrawn from the ticket, as it was too much
of a war nature to suit them. Their ticket will pro
bably fall through, by reason of containing too mach
support of the war to suit the peace advocates, while
at the same time the earnest war advocates will fail
to vote.it for a contrary reason. •
The troubles in Missouri are as far as ever from
being healed. General Curtis was unable to secure
tranquility, and was removed to make way for a
new, physician in the person of General Schofield.
The latter officer is no more successful than was his
predecessor, and his removal is loudly called for. If
he is not at thiamoment shorn of his command, he'
is likely to be very soon. Rumor whispers from.
Washington that General Hunter is to take his
place. I doubt if there is a commander in Christen
dom who could administer the affairs of that depart
ment with satisfaction to both parties, or even with
equal gratification and displeasure to them:. Gen..
Schofield attempted at the outset to rule imPartially,.
and would doubtless have done so had he - been
- let alone. General Curtis had been satisfactory, to
the Radicals and l dietasteful to the. Conservatives.
The latter did-not want Schofield appointed; but
they could not, help regarding the removal of Curtis.
as a triumph. The Radicals viewed the removal of
Curtis as , a defeat and were as much chagrined as.
the Conservatives were elated.
The result of this was ' the laudation of General
Schofield by the Conservatives, and an equal amount
of abuee by the Radicals; before there had been a .
single occurrence on which to found an opinion as
to the course he would •pursue. For a time even
handed justice was dealt to all, but the pulling. on
the one side, and the pushing on the other began at
length-to tell. The semi-disloyalists soon had 'it
their own way, and obtained the ear of General
Schofield. Miliitary operations were , made seconda
ry to political scheme's, not from any desire of the
commander that they should be so, but' because his
advisers insisted upon having their way. The ` indi
reot result is seen in the prommity of guerillas, an
increase of their depredations, and outrages which
Culminated in the destruction of Lawrence.
The same course-will be pursued toward General
Schofield's successor. He will be abused on.the one
band and flattered on the other, and this without
'dint or cessation. If his head be not more immova
ble than that ,of Washington*" statue, it will be in
great:danger of being turned. , The party that gets
his ear will offer numerous grains of military intik%
in each of which a neat political seheme will be aril"
fully concealed. His only hope of success will be to
shut his ears and doors against all advice of Kis
souri politicians, of Whatever grade or complexion:
By so doing, he would . receive the abuse .of both
parties, and could feel confident that he was doing
about right. ' In a .middle course will lie his only
safety. ,

The announcement of She capture of Morris
Islandwas received throughout the West with ah
enthusiasm second only to that following the occu
pation. of East Tennessee. The latter event was
• looked upon as a particular cause for rejoicing, in
asmuch as-East Tennessee has long, been regarded
as, the only truly loyal portion of the Southern
Stites. The city of Memphis has lately been...at
tempting to prove its fidelity to the Union by an
ovation to General Grant.
You of the East may possibly believe that this de.
monstration means something, but there are few
persons in the West who are deceived by it. We
see that the affair was planned by men whose loy

ing certain favors of the Government. -Some of
them have until very recently evaded taking the
oath'of allegiance. In East, Tennessee there is no
such dissemblance.'Before our armies' occupied
Tennessee the refugees from the eastern portion
werenumbered by the thousand, while those from
Memphis and its vicinity could be counted on the
fingers , This fact alone tells the story. There
were East Tennessee regiments in Buell's army

of a corporal's gnarl' of refugee Memphis's:tat .
General Sibley arrived at St. Paul yesterday,

through a peifettly' wild coiniiy. The result is

spear's Brigade—Union League—Appear
ance of the Town—The People—Desert
errtForwst,rd Movement.
(Special Correspondence of The Press.)
Ilionlinnvinrm, Tenn., Sept. 14, 1863.
The brigade of East Tenheasee troops under the
command of Brigadier General Spear, which is now
the Third Brigade, Third Division of theßeserve
Corps, under Major General Gordon Granger, who
comniands the District of Tennessee, composed of
all that part of the State of Tennessee lying north
of the Tennessee river, with headquarters at Nash
ville, has-been for several days encamped at this
point.. The health of these troops never has been so
good since they have been in the service as at the
present time. As they approach-nearer to their
native mountains, feel their cool breezes, and drink
the pure, good water which everywhere springs up
at the base of the mountains and through the
valleys of East Tenneesee, the spirits of the East
Tennesseans rise higher and higher, and their bodily
strength grows stronger and stronger. We saw
many familiar faces of old friends, men who not
only have taken prominent positions during this
rebellion, but who are destined to' wield the
controlling power in this State after ; the re
bellion is crushed out. And as the. action of the
great State of Tennessee on many questiona of vital
importance, which will naturally arise hereafter,
will be looked forward to with great interest, we_
will give the names of some of those men we saw.
They were Gen. Spears, Dan.' C. Trewhitt, A. A.
G., who will be the next Representative in the Na
tional Congress from the Third district of East Ten
nessee; Col. Shelley, of the 6th; Col. Cooper, of the
6th, and Col. Cross, of the 3d Regiment East Tennes
see Volunteer Infantry ; and also Col. William B.
Stokes, of the Ist Middle Tennessee Cavalry. No
time has been lost or thrown away since the arrival
of this brigade at McMinnville. Fortifications have
been under way, and some very strong earthworks
for artillery and • riflopite have been thrown up,
which reflect much credit upon the engineering skill
of the planner.
Scouting parties have been kept continually scour
nig the country in every direction, picking up strag
-glers, and dealing death to bushwhackere. The 6th
lowa Cavalry and the Ist Middle Tennessee Battery
are also attached to this command.
UNION LEAGUE.
A Council of the Union League has also been
urganized in this brigade, which, although young, is'
in a flourishing condition and growing rapidly.' The
Council has been named the " First Council Ten.
nessee Army Union League," and numbers some
thing over
_one hundred members ; and last night,
when we dropped in upon them, was only the third
meeting of the Council. On title occasion fifty-six
new members were admitted, which almost rivals
the Nashville Council. Dan C. - Trewhitt, A. A. G.,
is president of the Council, with the following list of
officers : Colonel Wm., B. Stoked; vice president ;
Colonel James T. Shelley, marshal; Major John
Murphy, secretary ; Surgeon J. E. Moore, treasurer.
The League holds its meetings in what was formerly
the Masonic Hall, but which has been stripped of all
its Masonic paraphernalia by the desecrating hands
of rebels.. The hall_was originally a very fine one,
being large and roomy,' and moat conveniently ar
ranged for the purpose for which it was designed.
A large portion of the inhabitants have been for the
Union all these long months of war and destruction,
and many of them are very anxious to become mem
bers of . the League, so that they can have a perma
nent Council left here of their own, should the troops
move, away.
APPEARANCE OF THE TOWN.
The town of McMinnville has not suffered as
much from the ravages of war as we had been led to
suppose. The pleMe originally contained about fif
teen 'Mildred or two thousand inhabitants, and is
the county seat of Warren county. No private pro
perty has been interrupted or injured that we could
see or hear of, except the injury sustained by some
of the business homes, the court house and a chnrch
being used by that detestable horse thief, John Mor
gan, for stabling horses, many months ago, in the
early part of his career. The reason we heard given
why Morgan thus used the-court house and church
was that the last gathering in the court house had
been a Union demonstration, and the last sermon
.preached in the church had been preached for the
Union., General John H. Morgan, C. S. A., or
"shaved-head John" of Ohio-penitentiary .notorie
ty, like many another dog, has had his day; he is
wound up at last, and will be no more heard of.
during this war. He has got to the end of his rope,
or not quite to the end of it either, if he had hie de
sees ; for he has done enough petty stealing, enough
highway robbery, and murdered enough innocent
people, to hang a dozen common men.
The railroad bridge, which crosses Collins river
little south of the town, was burned by Col. Wilder
last spring, and prevents the cars from running into
the town, which was the terminus of this branch of
the Istashville and Chattanooga Road .from
rn T
hoa. The cars, however, come within a mile`.of
town, and that answers every purpose while the
river is at low water and fordable. The large cob;
ton factory and steam flouring mill located here,
both large buildings built of brick, weredestroyed
by Col. Wilder, and these were the only bulldings
destroyed. The factory was quite 'an extensive
affair, and had been very actively, employed in turn
ing out gray back cloth for rebel uniforms daring the
past two y ears. Of course, being in the rebeiser
vice, the factory was aubject to contlecation. Cot
Wilder COnflecated it in his peculiar, but effective
manner. The Rowing mill had also been a- worker
in the rebel cause, grinding night and day for the
army. At some future day the mill will be re
built, but the factory probably never. The Female
Seminary, also a tine brick buildingovas one of the:,
largest and most flourishing in the State. The
building has not been injured, and is at present
used as a hoMpital for our sick. ,
The location of McMinnville is very healthy, be
ing on a branch of the CumberlandMountruna, but a•
few miles from the foot of them. The water is`very
pure and good. The town is- very prettily laid off;
and many of the private dwellings are very neat and
tasty.. Most of the businers houses are built of.
iiiick, as is also the court house, <which is n very
large one for so small a town. A few months of law
and order, a few new fences, a little paint, a. few
stocks of goods, and McMinnville will soomlook as.
well as it did before the war.
THE PEOPLE.
The male portion of the inhabitants in and:about
McMinnville are nearly all—at least, by , far the
greater portion of them—glad to see the Federal
army coming amongst them as conquerors. Many
of them have been firm, though silent, adherents to
the old Government all the time;.and.thoae who_
were not so strongly for the Government are tired
of the war, and have long ago - given up all hopesof
the success of the South. They are, all of them,
only' too willing to take the oath of allegiance, that
they may remain at home in peace and security.
For they now believe they can do that, un
der the protection of the Federal arms;, and
peace and security are two things no- citi
zen of Tennemee haa known mince , the break
ing out of this - most wicked rebellion'. As to
the female portion of the inhabitants we cannot
speak so favorably, and sorry are we to say that we
cannot,-for they are a: portion of humanity we are
particularly partial to ;.still truth. is stronger with
us than courtesy. And in speaking, the truth, we
must say that the most of the women,,both. young
and old, are perfect Tartars, in fact, the-women
have played the devil generally in the South all the
time—and have driven the men out to light when
they would much rather have stayed at home.
When we hear Southern rights and• rebellion de
fended and, justified ; when we hew the honor, and
bravery, and chivalry of rebel moldier' vaunted by,
old, toothless women,, and see them, oharry-like
shake their heads and invoke curses on our heads,
We smile and take pity on them and their deluded
fouls asbelonging to a generation far behind the age,
which will seen pass into oblivion. But when we
see the 'sparkling eyes of youth- and beauty flash
hellish hatred upon us ; and hear from lips that
otherwise Would be sweet, lavish praise upon rebel
soldiers,and bitter vixeniett invectives upon our
own men.„ because they wear the Federal uniform ;
we turn away without respect or pity, and wonder
how a heart created for nobler purposes, and a mind
which does knoiv better, could have been so early
corroded by the guilty crime of treason.
DESERTERS.
Deserters from the rebel army are coming in at
the rate of from twenty to fifty a day. They swim
the Tennessee river to get into our lines when they
give themselvee up and take the oath of ? allegiance.
A great many ' of these dennters, who- are Termer
scans, and - who belonged to. Tennessee regiments,
are allowed to
. go, home on their good behaviour.
We saw ' a
uumber of them yesterday with rebel
uniforms on and passes in their pockets to. get home.
It may be all for the best, the policy that permits
this course; but I know one who "can't see it"—
and that is

Rebel Accouat of the Cavalry ZZlght at

[Correspondence of bite Richmond Enquirer:7
ARMY os Nowrsaratr VIRGINIA, Sept. 14, law—
AS I, predicted some ten days age, the long quiet has
been broken, and theniesh of arm. again resounds
along thebanks of theßappahrsnnock. The enemy
hold Culpeper in force, and, our forces are making
ready to meet them. The following:is as nearly an
accurate statement of what transpired in Culp eper
as can be furnished just new: About three o clock
on Sunday information was conveyed to the cavalry
that the enemy were . preparing to cross at Stark's
Ford, some eight miles above our forces, and at
Kelly's{ some five miles below them, and that they
would no doubt be co-operated with by the corps of
The enemy which, for some time past, has been en
camped on this side of the Rappattannock river, at
the railroad bridge.
The wagons were at once packed and sent ter the
rear, and the horses were ordered to-be saddled, and
the men were bidden to prepare for any emergency.
THE FIGHT.
At daybreak Brigadier General Lomax, in com
mand of Jones' old brigade, now his own, and W. H.
F. Lee's, under Col. Beale, of the 9th Virginia Ca
valry, moved at once to the front, and found all
quiet. Some hours later couriers brought infor
mation that the enemy were crossing at Stark's
ford, with six hundred cavalry and artillery, and'
were advancing on Culpeper Court House,,by the
Ridgeville road, and were driving in the pickets
there stationed. The 7th and 12th regiments of
Virginia cavalry were immediately sent forward to
strengthen the picket on this road. Major Flournoy
at this time held the front with the 6th Regiment
and a squadron of sharpshooters from the 9th Vir
ginia Cavalry. About ten o'clock Major Flournoy
fell back to Brandy Station, and shears/ thereafter
Capt. Moorman's artillery opened fire on the enemy
from this point. Just then Gen. Lomax received
information that the enemy had crossed at Kelly's
a large force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, and
were advancing on the Stevens/burg and Brandy
roads. A very abort time after this a sharp carbine
fire announced their arrival at Brandy. Major F.
fell back_ rapidly, contesting every hill, and only ,
giving way when in danger of being outflanked. -
The lath Virginia Cavalry, supported by squad
rons of the 9th, was now thrown forward to the left
of the railroad in Botts' (formerly S. A. Beckham's)
woods.. The 16th Virginia Cavalry was thrown for
'waid,to the right of the railroad in the same woods.
Sbaregiments of the enemy were now deployed in a
field near Brandy, with two batteries of artillery.
The infantry of the enemy were massed behind the
cavalry and the timber. Of course, our men were
compelled again to give back. -
Another stand was made by our forces on the
ground where the infantry first became engaged du
ing Hampton's light on the Ist of August, and here
a severe light took place, in which artillery, mus
ketry, and carbines were freely used. 'At this time
it was discovered that a column of , at least two bri
gades of cavalry were moving on our right flank, by
way of Stevensburg, toward Culpeper court House.
Whilst the artillery on the lett showed that the
enemy, who were moving on the Rixeyville road,
were nearly at the Court House, our forces, of
course, were compelled again to give back, and this
time the Court House tell into. the hands of the
enemy. In the fight made at this point Colonel
Beale, 9th Virginia, was wounded slightly in the leg.
PANIC OF THE PEOPLE
At this time a train of cars was at the Court
House, bringing off the plunder of our people. This
was fired upon some three or four times, and though
the shells exploded just above the cars, scattering
the fragments over them, yet - no damage was done.
One shell passed into the house of Mr. Thomas Hill
and exploded, but did no damage.
I am told that nearly everything was removed
from the ddpot at Culpeper Court Rouse, though I
hear that we lost some lour or five boxes of saddles,
eight boxes of ammunition, and forty sacks of corn.
The excitement and confusion at Culpeper Court
Rouse is said to have been very great and very
striking. Women were shrieking, soldiers were,
groaning with their wounds, and children were cry
ing from fright, and the death shots biasing from
afar were howling and screeching over , the town. At
last accounts the enemy had not advanced more than
two miles out from Culpeper Court. House. The
Mar of artillery continued, however, until four
o'clock, when it ceased.
Our loss is not known. I have seen some six or
seven wounded. The Fifteenth Virginia in believed
to have suffered considerably, and •I am told fought
well. Our sharpshooters did the enemy considerable
damage during one of the charges which they (the
enemy) attempted to make. The fighting was kept
up until nightfall, and the picket firing has been re
sumed again this morning.
I can get nothing definite of our losses, save that
we lost three pieces of Stuart's horse artillery yes.
terday afternoon. Two corps of the enemy are at
Culpeper Court House, and a heavy force of the in
fantry is this side. The Yankee cavalry is this side
.of Mitchell's Station. This movement is believed
to be a general advance of the enemy, and our men
are in position to meet them. We have lost some
seventy-five or a hundred prisoners, it is said. Our
men are in the very best of spirits. We have cap
tured twenty-five prisoners, now on their way to
Richmond. The officer in command of thls recon
noissanoe is General Buford.

From the Richmond Enquirer, Sept. 16
Yesterday inorning,-twenty-three men and one
lieutenant (p. F. McKay), of the Eighteenth Penn

camp.
IMpOBTANT MOVEMENTS—GEN, MEADE'S ADVANCE
[From the Richmond Examiner, 16th.]
We learn that Gen. Lee's army, or a portion of it,
was in line of battle near the Rapidan yesterday
(Tuesday, the 15th), the enemy having advanced to
the. Rapidan in force. There was some skirmishing
between the pickets, but, the enemy having suspend
ed his forward movement, there was no serious col
lision between the oppoeing forces.
The Yankees crossed the Rappahannock on the

20,000 men. Their advance was very rapid, but not
unexpected. They have taken about fifty or seventy.
five prisoners, and threepleces of &Hillery. Our men
fought gallantly, disputing every inch of ground to
Mitchell's Station,-on the - Orange and. Alexandria
Railroad, four miles this side of Culpeper. Our loss
is represented to be about one' hundred and fifty
killed, wounded, and missing.
A spirited fight took place on Monday,at Raccoon
Ford, in which the 6th Virginia Cavalry repeatedly
charged and drove the Yankees back. Their loss
was fifty or sixty killed and wounded. Our loss was
only four or five. The repeated aborts of the enemy
to gain the river were foiled, andme now hold pos

on Tuesday was one to the effect that a part of Stu

Robertson and Rapidan rivers. -
It is believed that the demonstration on the upper
Rappahannock is merely a feint to cover other
movements—probably an advance via Fredericks
burg—to meet which ample preparations have been
made • but it is more probable that this movement
is only a ", reconspiesance in force," to ascertain
the position and probable strength of Gen. Lee's
THE WAR IN THE SOITHWEST.
A Great Battle Impending.
EFrom the Richmond Examiner, Sept 160
All eyes are now turned to Tennessee. it is the
point of greatest interest. Affairs begin to assume
a serious character, and there is every reason to
suppose that a decisive battle at an early day will
take place.
The Meridian Missis, ippian, of the 7th, states that
reliable information has been received in Selma that
the Yankees were in force near Gadsden, Willa*al
ley, on Saturday last, about thirty thousand of their
cavalry going toward. Kingston. Wheeler's cavalry
had been repulsed by a large body. of them, and were
falliftbabk, receiving reinforcements. Itiadoubtless
the purarseofAlhe raiders to strike the railroad at or
near Borne- ofrKingston, and stop communication
with Bragg's army.
This we regard as the beginning of an important
movement on the part of the enemy. We shall ex.-
pest to hear of a general engagementin East Tennes•

They expected, they say, to meet not more than
simple guard of about one hundred men. They also'
expected to be able to go through the breach without
difficulty,' or having to climb over. The night was
misty, and favorable for a close approach without
notice. Their calculations, they say, all proved in
correct. About fifty marines from the United States
steamer Powbatan form the greater part of the
prisoners taken. They state, also, that the monitor
ashore during the fight, Tuesday, was the Wes-,
hawker'', the, same vessel that took the lead in the
attack on the 7th of April.
They admit that the fire from Sullivan's Island in
the last fight was very accurate, one of the monitors
having been struck on the turret twenty-five
without, they say, doing any damage. One monitor ;
had her smokestack blown oft entirely. The Iron
sides was struck fifty times without, they say, in
flicting any serious damage. The prisoners manifest
-a great deal of confidence in the ability of Gen. Gil;
more to take the city.
So confident were they of success in the late expe
dition that two boxes were received under flag of
truce, one addressed' to "Lieut. E. P. William.,
commanding Fort Sumpter," and another to "

were packed with lemons, jellies. liquors, &c., evi

A DEFENCE 08 IMAUREGAIt.D.
The Charleston Mercury defends Gen. Beauregant
as follows :
General Beauregard had to provide against at
tacks upon - Charleston in several different dire,-
Hons.. The, route from North Edisto, or John's
Island, through St. Andrew's .Parish, constituted
one ; another method of attack was to cut off rail
road, communication with the interior, and ap•
proach by the. Neck; James Island constituted a
third ; the route by Sullivan's Island, Mount Plea
sant, and the direction of Cooper river, constituted
a fourth, Morris Island being the fifth. Some of
these were thought by the commanding general to
be vital ; others not.
The occupation by the enemy of the south end of
Morris Island, after all, was not an unmixed evil,
but'the less of two evils—either of which, unfortu
nately, our enemy had it in his power, as matters
stood, to inflict. It is believed he chose the one less
likely, under existing circumstances, to end ;in the
fall of Charleston. With several ways of approach,
he selected that of Morris instead of James Island,
true long lines of which, aethe time, could not have
been beld - by the - utterly inadequate force left in
occupation, had the enemy made a serious effort
with the means at his disposition to seize and occu
py them. In that event, in a few hours after land
ing, the enemy must have held Charleston at the
mercy of his numerous artillery.
From the central depot at Hilton Head, and auxi
liary stations in the North Edisto and on Folly
island, with his ample means of water transports,-
ton, the enemy bad it in his power to concentrate'
his troops with celerity, and, from the nature of the
country, with uncommon secrecy, upon any point in
SoutlvCarolink or Georgia, and secure_ a firm foot
hold before our troops, as matters stood, could pos
sibly be gathered to the same point in sufficient
force to oppose a serious resistance.

CHARLBSTON, Sept. 14.—A Yankee reconnoitring
party, incluihng a chaplain, lieutenant, a telegraph.
operator, and.a negro soldier, were captured on Sa
turday, on the Savannah Railroad, below this city.
They had tapped the - wires-to obtain information,
but got none. Some anxiety is felt to hear from
Bragg.
CHAnrmsiort, Sept. 15.—The weather is variable,
and the equinoctial gales are daily expected. The
enemy is building a telegraph line from Tybee
Island and Fort P'ulaski to eummiagsi Point. A.
magazine of one of our James Island batteries
accidentally exploded this morning, killing one lieu
tenant and five men.

WHAT 18 EXPECTED. OP GEN. SULLY.
ST. PAUL ' Sept. B.—The last hope for a success
ful closing of the campaign is that Sully will fall
upon the Indians .with his three
has
cavalry,
and rout or kill them. He has orders from Gen.
Pope topress forward, and is furnished with supplies
sufficient to last until the middle of. November.
1.1 is the present intention to have Sully remain
on thellistiouri during; the •winter. Supplies will
be forwarded to him for-that purpose, and if this
plan is successful, he _may be enabled to render some
effective service next season. At all events, the
difficulties attendant - upon transportation have
effectually prevented his accomplishing anything
thus far.
THE lICDIAF9 RETURT(I3II4
Reports have reached Fort Abercrombie that the
Indiana have recrossed the Missouri, and are return
ing to Devil's Lake, whence they el when Sibley.
approached. They claim to have defeated Sibley,
and construe his homeward march into flight. The
Indians are shrewd enough to see' that Sioley was
unable to follow - them, and this affords pretty good
foundation for their assertion that they were victo
drlollß. Their return leaves Indian affairs in the
same shape they were lastapring ; the hostile Ind',
ans at Devil's Lake, and Sibley's army garrisoning
frontier posts, boo miles this side. It iB so late that
they will not be likely, to molest us this fall and win
ter. though scattered parties may prowl about. Thiis
backward movement will interfere greatly with Sal
ly's campaign, and renders his finding and routing
the Indians doubly doubtful.
SENATOIC RAMSEY'S TREATY EXPEDITION
Senator_ Ramsey met General Sibley's returning
command a short distance beyond St. Cloud, and ob
tained as an escort three companies :of cavalry, or
mounted infantry, one section of a battery, and the
privilege of an infantry company at Fort Abercrow
lde, if desired.
Senator Ramsey goes to make the treaty which
Commissioner Dole attempted last . year—namely,
the extinction of the Indian title to All the country
bordering on the Red river. This will open that
valuable region to trade and travel.

CLARENDON HOTEL, Jalillary 6 , 1860.
Mr DEAR FRIEND: .I wrote you an unsatisfactory
note a day or two since. I have just had a pleasant
intervim4,with Mr. Shepley, whose courage and
fidelity are equal to his learning and talents. He
says be would rather fight the battle with you as the
standard-bearer in 1860 than under the auspices of
any other leader. The feeling and Sudgmerat of Mr.
S. in this relation is, I am confident, rapidly gaining
ground in New England. Our people are looking
for "the Coming... Alan." One whotis raised by all the
elements of his character 'above the atmosphere ordinarily
breathed by politicians. At man really fitted for this
emergency by his ability, courage, broad statesmanship,
and patriotism. Colonel Seymour (Thomas H.) ar.
rived here this morning, and expressed his views in
this relation in almost the identical language used
by Mr. Shepley. It is true that in the present state
of things at Washington and throughout the
country no man can predict what changes
two or three months may bring forth. Let
me suggest that in the morning debates. of
Congress full justice seems to me not to have
been done to the Democracy of the North. I do
not believe that our friends at the South have any
just idea of the state of feeling hurrying at this
moment .to the pitch of intense exasperation be
tween theme who respect their political obligation',
and those who have apparently no impelling power
but that which fanatical passion on the subject of
domestic slavery imparts. Without discussing the
question of right—of abstratt power to secede—l
have never believed that actual disruption of the
Union can occur without blood ; and if through the
madness of Northern Abolitionists that dire calamity must
come, the fighting .taill not be along Mason and Dfron's
line merely. It will be within our own borders, in our
own streets, between the two classes of citizens to whom
I have referred. Those. who defy law and scout
constitutional obligations will, if we ever reach
the arbitrament of arms, find occupationlenough at
home. Nothing but the state of Mrs. Pierce's
health would induce me to leave the country now,
although it is quite likely that my presence at home
would be of little service. I have tried to impress
upGn our people, especially in New Hampshire and
Connecticut, where the only election are to take
place during the consingspring, that while our Union
meetings are all in .the right direction, and well
enough for the present, they will not be,Worth the
passer upon which their resolutions are written
unless we can overthrow political Abolitionism at
the polls, and repeal the unconstitutional and ob
noxious laws which in the cause of "personal lib
; erty " have been placed upon our statute-books. I
shall Look with deep interest, and not without hope,
for a decided change in this relation. •
Ever and truly your friend,
FR ANKLIN PIERCE.
iilHon. JEFFERSON DAVIS, Washington, D. C.
BEV. A. D. Xeozo,lately of Albany, of New York,
and one of the most radioal of radical Abolitionists,
said in a recent addrese at Antioch College
"While Calhoun was breathing out hie last breath
at Washington, the new senator from New York,
William H. Seward, was stammering through
his first speech in the Capitol, on the admis
sion of California -to the - Union. That speech
contains, the people's whole answer to the entire
programme or the dying champion of Southern
aristocracy, That hour's talk to a contemptuous
Senate and . a careless people placed Mr. Se
ward at the head of the philosophical stateamen
of the new republic, and history will, set him over
against the great South Carolinian, as the man who
soonest and most completely saw all through and
around his elaborate scheme of American despotism,
and predicted its downfall at the moment of its ap
parent triumph. Mr. Seward saw then that Seces
sion w a s aiming to precipltate the country into a
tremendous revolution. He told the haughty men
engaged in the conspiracy that if they inaugurated
civil war to establish despotism, the ruling class of
the South, and all they represented, - .would go to the
bottom of a bloody sea, while the people would
reach their final destiny in the establishment of the
new Republic. This idea centralizes allhe has said,
thought, and done since that eventful day. His great
speeches have been obiervations Of the progress of
that revolution, as,from a point overlookingthe en
tit e field.`; Like` all progressive philosophical men, he
has counted too enthusiastically on the people, and
often been seemingly contradicted by events. Like
hie great opponent, his chief success has not been as
an executive, statesman, and he has been disappoint
, ed in his personal ambition. But when he is dead,
and all he'has maid, and wrote, and thought about
Arnericart.affairs shall be gathered up into one con
sistent whole, it will be known how capacious was
that range of vision that took , in the whole past,
