that the transports which had been carrying

sugar and ram for the rebel army. Finding that
toe steamers which had conveyed General Walk

pedition started up that river and came suddenly
upon two rebel steamers, but the rebels set them
be fire, and they were consumed so rapidly that
their names could not be ascertained. One
steamer loaded with ammunition escaped above
the fort at Harrisonburg, which is a very strong
work, and unassailable with wooden gunboats.

THE ARMY or THE POTOMAC
Movements 01 the Rebels In Virginia
DEMORALIZATION OF LEE'S ARMY
Wssuisrrow, July 28. 1863.
According to information re ceived in day, the
report is now fully co:Andel that. the earful of
General. Lee's army nutter Itongstreet, Hill and
Ewell, passed through Chester Cap nu Thursday
and Vriday, and are uow at awl south or Cul
pepper.
-
The paveoge of the rebels was opposed by
Buford's cavalry ; but he was compelled to fall
back. Buford, however, hung upon the rebel
roar and captured many prisoners and the herds
htretofore mentioned.
Louistreet's eorpe pegged through Culpepper
on Friday, and encamped that night south of the
tollll.
ALL the available rolling stock of the Virginia
railroads WWI concentrated at Culpepper, and it
was generally thought that Gem Lae was mak
ing all possible speed for Richmond; but General
Buford thinks that the rebels intend to_ make a.
stand on the south side of the Rapidan.
Ewell'e wagon train with a strong guard, went
south from Strasburg, by way of Staunton, to
avoid capture by our cavalry.
Our cavalry during the entire last campaign
signalized itself by a degree of energy and tier
ing never surpassed. Rebel prienner4 of intelli
gence unite in saying that our cavalry has done
more to defeat General Lee's plans than any other
arm of the service. Stuart's legions now fear -to
encounter our cavalrymen ; or, at all events, they
do not court an encounter.
Rebel prisoners and refugees are unanimous in
the statement that the morale of the Jebel army
iu Virginia is broken, and that great despon
dency prevails in all Southern circles, and par
ticularly in the army.
The defeats of the rebels in the Southwest, at
Gettysburg and at Morris Island, have at last
convinced the rebel soldiery of their vulnera
bility.
Further, that General Lee's plane, supported
by the flower of the Southern troops, having
proved futures, by the energy of General Meade
and the bravery and endurance of the Army of
the Potomac, will necessitate the reconstruction
of the rebel army of Virginia, while the defection
of General Joe Johnston Milt his refusal to obey
the orders of Jeff. Davis will compel a recon
rib uction of the rebel army of the Southwest.
Intelligent rebel officers now in our hands
admit that this is the most gloomy period for the
hopes of the " confederacy."
ACTION AT MANASSAS GAP.
GALLANT CHARGE OF THE EXCELSIOR
BRIGADE-ROUT OF THE, REBELS, WITH
A LOSS OF FIVE HUNDRED.
On Thursday, 23d tilt., while the third and
fifth corps of the Army of the Potomac were
lying near the east eud of Manassas Gap, they
heard that •Longetreet was pressing forward a
brigade to possess himself of the pass. The Ex
celsior (New-York) brigade, under Gen. Spinola,
(eight hundred strong,) was at once ordered for
ward. • They charged on the rebels, amid a
shower of bullets from a brigade of Georgians
and two regiments of North Carolina sharpshoot
ers, and drove them at once from their position,
with a loss of 600 in killed, wounded and miss
ing. The Excelsior brigade had no artillery,
while the rebels had 17 pieces. The Federals
camped on the battle ground, and on Friday
marched to Front Royal. The rebels are believed
to have largely outnumbered the Union troops,
bat seemed to be much fatigued. Gen. Spinola
was very badly wounded in the heel and right
side.
THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.
The Second .assanit on Fort Wagner—
Repulse of the Federal Forces.
The accounts from Charleston, by the Arago,
at New York, confirm the telegrams already pub
lished from rebel sources, respecting the second
assault upon Fort Wagner, on Morris Island, by
General Gilmore's forces and the Monitors, mor
tar schooners and gunboats under Admiral
Dahlgren. After the tint unsuccessful assault
on the 10th instant, Gen. Gilmore lost no time
in throwing up batteries on Morris Island,
within eight hundred yards of Fort Wagner, in
order to reduce it by siege. On the morning of
the 18th twelve or fifteen heavy guns were in
position, besides eight or ten mortars. Gen.
Gilmore therefore determined to commence the
attack, which was opened at 11 o'clock, A. M.
The bombardment was conducted in a spirited
manner, Gilmore's batteries initiating the work,
awl Admiral Dahlgren's five Monitors, the Iron
sides, two mortar schooners and three wooden
gunboats, quickly joining in the engagement.
The enemy replied briskly from Fort Wagner
and Battery Bee, just beyond the Cumming's
Point, while Fort Sumter kept up a sharp fire
from the guns of her southwestern face, among
which were two rifled pieces of heavy calibre.
Most of the fire of UM rebels was directed upon
the-Monitors and other naval vesiels, only an
occasional shell being sent towards the batteries.
Although the iron-clads were repeatedly struck,
they suffered very little real damage, and the
only losses in the batteries were a Lieutenant of
the 76th Pennsylvania Regiment, who was killed
by a chance shot, and the wounding of six of
the gunners.
Soon after 4 o'clock the firing from Fort Wag
ner ceased. It was then known that our brave
fellows bad succeeded iu dismounting one gun,
and it was also pretty well ascertained that
another of the rebel .pleces had burst. These
facts led to the supposition that the enemy had
evacuated the work, and it was determined to
attempt its occupation. For this purpose two
brigades, consisting of the 7th Connecticukregi
ment, the Si New 1/ampultire, the 9th Maine, the
Pennsylvania, and the 40th New York, un
der Brig. Gen. Strong, and the 7th New Hamp
shire, 6th Connecticut, 62d Ohio, 100th New
York and 64th Massachusetts, colored, under
Col. Putnam, who had been under arms all day,
screened from the enemy behind a range of sand
hills, in the rear of our works, were ordered
forward. -
This was at dusk, and both brigades were
formed in line on the beach, the regiments being
disposed in columns, excepting the colored regi
ment, which for some reason was given the post
of extreme honor and of danger in the advance,
and was drawn up in line of battle, exposing its
full front to the enemy. This movement of the
troops was observed by Sumter, and fire was at
once opened upon them, happily without doing
injury, as the shells wept over the heads of the
men.
General Strong's brigade under this fire moved
along the beach at slow time for about three
quarters of a mile, when the men were ordered
to lie down. In this position they remained half
an hour,Sumter meanwhile being joined in the
cannonade by the rebels in Battery Bee, but
without effect, upon our troops. It was now
quite dark, and the order was given for both
brigades to advance, Gen. Strong's leading and
Colonel l'utnam's within supporting distance.
The troops went forward at quick time and in
deep silence, until the 64th Massachusetts, led
by its gallant CoL Shaw, was within two hund
red yards of the work, when the men gave a
fierce yell and rushed up the glade, closely fol
lowed by the other regiments of the brigade.
The enemy, hitherto silent as the grave, while
our men were swarming over the glade, opened
upon them furiously with grape, canister, and a
continuous fusilade of small arms.
The Degrees, however, plunged on, and many
of them crossed the ditch, gaining the parapet.
They were dislodged, however, in a few minutes,
and retired helter skelter, leaving more than
one-half of their number, including their colonel,
dead upon the field.
The Gth Connecticut Regiment, under Lieut.
Col. Rodman, was in support of the 64th, and
they also suffered terribly, being compelled to
retire after a stubborn contest. The 9th Maine,
which was next in line, was broken up by the
I passage of the remnant of the repulsed colored
regiment through its lines, and retired in confu
sion, excepting three companies, which. nobly
stood their ground.
It now devolved upon the :id New Hampshire
Regiment to push forward, and led by General
Strong and Colonel Jackson in person, the gal
-1 lent fellows dashed up against the fort. Three
companies actually gained the ditch, and wading
through the water found shelter against the em
bankment. Here was the critical p' oint of the
assault, and the 3d brigade, which should have
been up and ready to support their comrades of
the let, were unaccountably delayed. General
Strong then gave the order to fall back and lie
down on the glade, which was obeyed without
confusion.
it was while waiting hero, exposed to tha
heavy tire, that Ceneral Strong Was wounded.
A fragment of shell entered his thigh, passing
entirelyithrough the fleshy part, and making a
serious wound. although the bone escaped ham
tore. The breast.of Colonel Jackson's cost Was
torn off at the same time by a piece el' shell,
slightly wounding him. Neither of these brave
men would lie down to escape the rain of metal,
but stood unflinchingly I houghotit, eliciting
the unbounded admiration of their men. Find .
ing that the supports did not come, General
Strong gave the order for hie brigade to retire,
and the men left, the field in perfect order.
A little while afterwards the oilier brigades
Caine up, and made up for their apparent tardi
ness by glorious deeds of valor. Ituabing itn
petuously up the glacis, undeterred by the fury
of t he enemy, whose fire was not intermitted for
a second, Several of the regiments succeeded in
crossing the ditch, scaling the parapet and de
scending into the fort. Here a hand -to-hand
conflict ensued. Our men fought with despera
tion, and were able to drive the enemy from one
side of I.he.work to seek shelter between the tra
verses, while they hell possession for something
more than an hour. This piece of gallantry was
unfortunately of no advantage. The enemy ralli-
and, having received large reinforcements,
made a charge upon the band of heroes, and
expelled them from their nobly-won position by
the sheer forge of numbers. One of the regi
ments engaged in this brilliant dash was the 48th
New York,' Colonel Barton, and it came out
almost decimated. The most distressing part
of its disastrous treatment is, that the enemy
did not inflict the damage. It was the result of
a mistake on the part of one of nor own regi
ments. The 48th was among the first to enter
the fort, and was fired upon by a regiment that
gained the parapet some minutes later, under the
supposition that it was the enemy.
About midgight the order was given to retire,
and our men fell back to the rifle pits outside of
our own Arks, having engaged in as hotly con.
tested a Pattie as has ever been fought.
Our casualties, as may reasonably be expect
ed. were very large. The list of killed, wound
ed and missing foots up fifteen hundred and thirty.
Among the killed are Colonel l'utorim, of the
7th New Hampshire ; Colonel Shaw, of the 54th
Massachusetts; hleutenant Colonel Green, of the
48th New York ; Adjutant Libby, of the 3d New
Hampshire.
General Seymour was wounded in the foot,
while directing movements in the field,
Colonel Barton, of the 45th New York, was
wounded in the thigh by a ball, which flattened
against the bone.
LieiltentlUt Colonel Rodman, of the 6th Con
necticut, was seriously wounded.
Lieutenant Colonel Bedell, of the 3d New
Hampshire, was taken prisoner.
The day after the fight the steamers Cosmo—
politan and Mary Benton were dispatched to
Hilton Head with the wounded, and every house
in Beaufort is now occupied as a hospital.
Our dead were buried on Monday, atleast that
portion of them that were on the field within the
limits that our burying party was allowed to
approach the rebel works. Those who fell on
the glacis and the ditch were interred by the
enemy.
The siege has not been suspended. Operations
are still in progress, which General Gilmore is
sanguine will result in success.
TIIE REBEL LOSSES AT MORRIS ISLAND
NASHVILLE, Tenn.. July 28, 180.
We are permitted to send you the following
facts, collected here from a deserter just in from
Bragg's army. In the fight on Morris Island the
rebels sustained a very heavy loss of killed and
wounded—at first reported five hundred, and
then reduced to three hundred and fifty. Among
the killed is Brigadier General George Smoot,
Colonel Langdon Cheeves, Colonel John Bee and
Major Tote. The body of Colonel John Bee is
in Union hands, the other three had been brought
into Charleston. Great consternation prevades
the city, and the women and children are leaving .
All free negroes are being pressed into the ser
vice, and the only hope for Charleston, say its
friends, is by the bayonet.
LATER IRO CZARLIISTON.
TllllBl SIEGE OF FORT WAGPIEIa.
NgW'-YORK, July 31, 1863
By the arrival at this port of the U. S. gun•
boat Paul Jones, from Charleston, July 26, we
learn that the siege of Fort Wagner still con—
tinued. General Gillmore had succeeded in
erecting a batlery of heavy siege guns within
1,000 yards of Fort Wagner. Everything wits
progressing favorably. Fort Sumter, and Fort
Johnson, on James Island, kept a continual fire
on the Union forces on Morris Island. The
casualties to the Union forces averaged about
six per day.
REBEL MOVEMENTSTN KENTUCKY
A special despatch to Cincinnati on the 29th,
from Lexington, Kentucky, stales that General
Bragg's advance guard, two thousand five hun
dred strong, attacked and drove back our troops
under Colonel Sanders from Iticliiiond to the
Kentucky river in great confusion. All our
troops had fallen back to within five miles of
Lexington, the capital of Kentucky, the rebels
following them closely. Martial law was pro
claimed in Lexington on Tuesday, and all the male
citizens were called out for the defence of the
city, The rebel force at lastaccounte was moving
northward, via Crab Orchard.

AN EXCURSION TO WILLIAMSPORT, THE
RESULT, &O.
CAMP 1711 AR lIAOEPNTOWN, July 2.81 h, 1863
Yesterday afternoon, two young men of the
42d Regiment had an inclination to see and
cross the Pktomae, and to tread upon the "sacred
soil" for their own satisfaction. Their first move
was to obtain a pass, signed by their Colonel
and approved by the Ideneral in command.
Having accomplished this, they started upon their
journey to Williamsport; inquired for the Pro
vost's Headquarters, and learned from the Cap-
tain that it wse an impossibility for any one to
pass the first pickets, notwithstanding there were
two lines—and but ono bridge crossing the canal
which led to the river. But they were determined
to make some attempt and not be foiled in this
manner. They now advanced until halted by
the first picket ; of him they inquired for Capt.
Justice, of the lot Coal Regiment, who unfor
tunately was not about, and the Lieutenant be
ing continually annoyed, knowing their wish,
treated them with indifference;—and said, that
no man (gm:loping one whom they knew) was
allowed to pass. But after seeing and judging
from their manner, that they were evidently
gentlemen, he moderated his tone and finally
allowed them to proceed to the top of the bluff,
where they had au elegant view of the surround
ing country. After reconnoitering fora few
minutes they were hailed by the pickets guard
ing the bridge directly below—whom they joined
and after a short confab, they finally concluded
to leave them pass on, yet with reluctance and
at the same time warning them of the danger of
either being shot or captured, as they had seen
three camp fires the previous night, and several
men prowling around during the morning. At
this time no one was visible and one of them
determined to make an effort ; and in a short
time he had gone three-fourths across ; when
suddenly his attention was arrested by " three
rebel pickets" seated under a large oak tree.
standing to the rear of some brush—watching
every wove. What their intentions were he
could not imagine; but he at once concluded
_ that it would not be proper nor prudent to go
farther, but to abalithil the idea without ROOM"
plishing his design. His companion, who was
probably the more discreet, did not venture quite
so far. poring:all this time, the Union pickets,
who became very tench recited, ball now all ad
vanced to the lop of the bluff and were gazing
with astonishliteut,—awaiting with anxiety dm
result.. Upon their return, the Captain (whn
was now here) welcomed them and seemed
pleased—assuring them that he would venture
'scrim* the following day with a squad of men to
plant. the " Stars and Stripes." We have since
learned from Jahn Russell, who d ese rted from
the Bebe at Martinsburg, that Oen. Lee's whole
army are retreating beyond Winchester. Mili
