It was the un ion i f the two National Democratic Committees, j the determination of its members to stand ones a common platform in the future. The „:,,position to meet at this time emanated from etobere of the two committees. The unhappy fends which in 1860 occasioned the defeat of the Nitioaal Democracy have long since passed into ,Llivion, and the harmonious action of the joint anconties will be hailed with approval by the entire Democracy of the nation. The meeting on Monday was an enthusiastic, n ,e. At half-past twelve o'clock it was called to or der by Thomas B. Florence, of Pennsylva ni,,, who nominated Aaron Ward, of New York, temporary Chairman. After some preliminaries, August Belmont, of New York, was unanimously thaw p e rmanent President, and Messrs.

Tilden, James. Brooks, Utah F. Purdy and Isaiah Rynders, of New York. Various propositions in reference to the as unsling of the next National Democratic Con tention were presented and discussed ; but lindly it was agreed to take no definite action upon this subject at present, with the distinct understanding that the joint committees will I . ..einie a common call for a meeting to arrange the natter whenehr it shall be deemed advise t:e to do so. The Democracy of the country rejoice at the harmonious action of their representatives, and we sincerely trust that their mom labors will result in permanent advan tage to the party and the country. • s i'Six SIIIISTITUTBDSBERTERB from the 118th Penns- Regiment—that is, persons who make p their business to enlist as substitutes, draw their pay, and then desert to try the same game ever again at the next opportunity—were shot to doh in the Army of the Potomac on Saturday, 7::.itt tilt.

THE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON Capture of Fort Wagnei and Battery Gregg: General Gillmore's Official Report Bombardment of Fort Moultrie. Attack on Batteries Beanregard and Bee FORTRESS Mosaoc, Sept. C, 1863. The 11. S. dispatch steamer Oleander just ar rived from off Charleston, having left on the 4th, reports "Sumter perfectly demolished" but the Rebel flag still flying. Gen. Gfflmore dug out and captured seventy— five men from their rifle pits, in front of Fort Wagner, last Tuesday. OPPIC/AL DISPATCHES FROM GEN: GILL. MORE AND ADMIRAL DAHLGREN. WASHINGTON Saturday, Sept. 6, 1863. Very full of dispaiehes from General Gill iam sod Admiral Dahlgren have been received at the departments by the recent arrivals from Morris Island. The dispatches from Gen. Gillmore represent everything as progressing favorably. Admiral Dahigren's reports contain nothing of special public importance, as a violent storm had prevented active operations on the part of the fleet. The Monitors had rode out the storm admirably, not an accident having occurred to either of them. Both write in good - spirits, and express the fullest confidence in the success of their opera tions against the city, which must in the end inevitably be captured. - The shelling of the city has undoubtedly been resumed before this time, as several guns had been placed in position which would reach it. THE PEOPLE ANXIOUS TO SURRENDER THE CITY-EFFECT OP THE BOMBARDMENT. BOSTON, Sept. 6, 1863. C. C. Fulton writes from Morris Island Aug. 29, that deserters, several of whom reach our lines every day, represent that the people of Charleston are anxious to surrender the city; but Beauregard is determined to devote it to de struction. The shelling process caused general surprise, Beauregard having pledged his reputa tion that it was an impossibility, and a mere Yankee bravado. It has been ascertained that the first shell fired from the marsh battery entered a house oc cupied by a number of officers, killing several and destroying the house. Some of the shells went to the furthest extremity of the city, and destroyed a large cotton warehouse and other building% Deserters say that there are but 25 men in Sumter, and that it will be blown up as soon as an attempt is made to take possession. WASHINGTON, Thursday, Sept. 10, 1863. The following was received here this after noon: • DEPARTMENT OF THE SOUTH, HEADQUARTERS! IN THE FIELD, Sept. 7, 1863. f Maj.-Gen. H. W. HALLEOH, met, GENERAL: I have the honor to report that Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg are ours. Last night our sappers crowned the crest of the coentersearp of Fort Wagner en its sea front, masking all its guns and an order was issued to carry the place by assault at 9 o'clock this morning, that being the hour of low tide. About 10 o'clock last night the enemy com menced evacuating the island, and all but 70 of them made their escape front Cemminge Point, in small boats. Captured dispatches show that Fort Wagner was commanded by Col. Keitt of South Carolina, and garrisoned by 1,400 effective man ; and Bat. eery Gregg by between 100 and 269. Fort Wag ner is a work of the noose formidable kind. Its bomb-proof shelter, capable of holding 1,800 men, remains intact, after the most terrible bombardment to which any work was ever sub jected. We have captured 19 pieces of artillery and a large supply of excellent ammunition. The City and Harbor of Charleston are now completely covered by my guns. I have the honor to be, C.neral, very respect fully , your obedient servant. Q. A. Gamma, Brig.-Gen. Commanding. Col. Edward E. Potter, Chief of Staff, tele graphed from Fortress Monroe today to Gen. llalleck, that five monitors and the Ironsides en gaged Batteries Beauregard and Bee from 5 a. m. until 2 p. m. on Tuesday, the Bth. A shell from one at the monitors exploded in the maga zine of Fort Moultrie, and the south western parapet was seriously damaged by the explosion. NEWS FROM REBEL SOURtAS, The following dispatches are from The Rich mond Enquirer of Sept. 8 CHARLESTON, Sept. 7—noon—A dispatch from Major Stephen Elliot, commanding at Fort Sum• ter, announces that a flag of truce demanding the immediate surrender of that fort has just been received from Admiral Dahlgren by Lieut. Brown of the steamer Palmetto State. Gen. Beauregard has telegraphed to Major Elliott to reply to Dahlgren that he can have Fort Sumter when he takes it and holds it, and that in the mean time such demands are puerile and unbecoming. Prom the Army of the Potomac. A REMARKABLE PROCEEDEN. A Rebel Colonel Announces peace Near at Nand. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Sept. 8, 1863 From the New -York Tribune's correspondent with the Army of the Potomac we have the fol— lowing, dated: HEADQUARTERS, Sept. 8, 18G3. Col. C. Rill of the Rebel -army, recently sent word across the Rappahannock, from Fred ericksburg, that he would like to see an officer of our army. The wish being made known to Gen, Custer, the General himself CrOSSed, The motive of CoL Hill's request was to make inqui ries respecting General Gregg, with whom he was once a classmate and intimate friend. Gen. Custer received a note from Col. Rill to Gen. Gregg, which was forwarded. dol. Rill remarked confidentially to Gen. Custer that peace was near at band. This assertion was volun tarily made by two itebel officers in the boat which conveyed Gen. Custer, and by others on shore. Ou being asked the reason of their sup position they would not communicate it, simply reiterating their opinion. Col. Hifi would not state what command be was connected with, but appeared to he a staff planar_ At least 1,000 cavalry and infantry from the Rebel army thronged about the wharf as spectators when Gen. Custer landed. His reception by the offi cers was exceedingly cordial. Notwithstanding these anticipations of peace, the Rebels expected another battle near Culpep per. They did not anticipate attackirg us, but presumed that we, strengthened by conscripts, would speedily assume the offensive, Gen. Lee is yet in Richmond. Doubtless the consultation among the heads of the Rebel Gov ernment arc earnest. Great amicability exists between our pickets and these or the enemy.
