AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
On Monday an important political event oc
culted in the city of New York. 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. B_
fierence, of Pennsylvania, and ThomasCottman,
Ca t Louisiana, were appointed Secretaries. Spee
thee were made by Senator James A_ McDougall,
of California, Moses McDonald, of Maine, Hugh
I Jewett, of Ohio, Charles (I. Eastman, of Ver-
t oe, W . . IV. Eaton, of Connecticut, Legrande
i; r ington, of lowa, Joseph B. Borden, of Indiana,
iiebard Yen'. and Josiah Randall, of Dennitylva
ere. and August Belmont, Aaron Ward, John
Ilegeon, Samuel J. 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. •

Rebel flag still flying.
Gen. Gfflmore dug out and captured seventy—

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.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday, Sept. 8, 1863
From the New -York Tribune's correspondent

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. Yestertley about 100
men belonging to both armies bathed together in
the Rappahannock. T. M. N.

which he lost about one hundred men in killed
and wounded, including several officers. Gen.
Avorill brought in quite a number of prisoners,
including many officers. He destroyed Camp
'northwest," with a large amount of camp equip
age, stores, &o- A later dispatch states that
