TEE SIEGE OF CHARLESTON
BABARDMENT of FORT NOULTRIE
Unsuccessful Assault on Sumter.
The steamer Arago has arrived from Charles
m a with later dates. The bombardment of Fort
m o orie was continued with great vigor when
the steamer left. The - reported explosion of a
m agazine in Fort Moultrie is confirmed. The
e xp!etien, it is said, was caused by the fact of
the Weehawken having grounded close in front
a t the fort, end while in this position was able
to pour a steady fire directly into the rebel
stronghold. The walls of the fort were much k
ilted, sad it will not be able to hold out very

lie sets on the presumption that these individ--
111!9 are better informed than his own men as to
t he whereabouts of the infernal machines.
The late unsuccessful expedition to take Fort
grouter consisted of thirty boats and one bun-
Bred sailors. commanded by Lieut. Williams, of
the Wittishickon, and one hundred marines under
Capt. McCauley. The whole force was com
manded by Corn. Stevens, of the Patapsco. The
trews of three boats landed and started to run up
the broken walls, bat were discovered and fired
upon by musketry and assailed with hand gran-
Ora. At this moment a signal was given, and
all the rebel batteries opened on Fort Sumter.
The three boats were destroyed, and nearly all
in them were killed or captured. The whole list of
caqtaltieS was about eighty. The remainder of
the party escaped without injury. Beauregard
sags that he captured 113 prisoners, 13 officers,
4
boats and three colors. By &Bag of truce we
leArn that the prisoners are in Fort. Sumter and
are well treated.
THE ILTESE---NEW BATTERIES ON MORRIS
ISLAND.
The despatch steamer Mary Sanford, which
arrived at New-York on Wednesday from Charles-
Inn, brings ne*e to Saturday night, the 12th
inst. General Gillmore was then erecting new
batteries on Morris Island. The guns of the
rebel batteries at Forts Moultrie and Johnson
were firing heavily upon Morris Island. The
report that. Fort Moultrie had surrendered, which
(Tight/tied from the statements that a white flag
sat flying over the ramparts, proves to be a
mistake, arising from the similitude of the rebel
tattle flag to s flag of truce. Moultrie is still in
the bands of the enemy, and is working away
with two fifteen-inch guns.
From the Army of the Potomac.
Cayalry Fight on the Rapidan.
On Sunday last, Gen, Pleasanton's Cavalry—
uoder Generals Buford, Kilpatrick and Gregg—
crossed the Rappahannock and reached the
bunks of the Rapidan; where they came into
collision with Stuart's cavalry, and the lie t
artillery of the enemy, and, after a series of
skirmishes, drove them from point to point, un
til they reached Culpepper, through which town
they charged, driving the rebels before them,
and oapturing over one hundred prisoners and
Meet guns, two twelse•pounders and one ex
pounder. A large quantity of ordnance 'stores
were found in the railroad depot at Culpepper,
the guns being of English make, with sabre bay.
ones attached. General Buford's division fol•
lowed up the enemy beyond Cedar Mountain,
and. encamped on the banks of the Rapidan.
Our casualties were three killed and forty
wounded. Among the latter was General Cue
ter, but not seriously. He commanded w brig
ade in General Kilpatrick'a division, and was
wounded while gallantly charging a battery of
the enemy, in which charge three gums were
captured.
ANOTHER PRIRMIEH ON THE RAPIDAN.
There has been another skirmish on the Rap
idan. The Second Army Corps, which advanced
to Culpepper after Pleasanton's late expedition,
relieved the cavalry, who at once went out to
die Rapidan. They attempted to erase the river
on Monday, but were resisted. Sixty Federal
soldiers were wounded. One hundred and fifty
of the enemy have been eiptured since Sunday.
A scouting expedition tar just returned from
the Ocoquan region. It discovered nothing and
fond no enemy. Large numbers of paymas
ters are leaving Washington for Gen. Meade's
army. The troops are to be paid up to the 31st.
of August.
With regard to the position of General Lee,
the New York .7fine.: has the following: "Gen.
Foster telegraphs from Fortress Monroe that
the main body of the rebel army is at Richmond,
where Lee's headquarters now are, and that
there is no force of any consequence in General
Meade's front." -
DESPATCHES FROM BURNSIDE AND ROSE-
CRANS.
General Burnside sends an official despatch
from Cumberland Gap, announcing the uncondi
tional surrender of that place, as before reported.
Re says that the infantry brigade which parti
cipated in the capture marched front Knoxville to
the Gap, a distance of sixty mike, in fifty-two
hours. It is stated that General Burnside, after
tucceeding in clearing East Tennessee of the
rebels, has sent his resignation to the War De
partment.
General Itosecrans has also forwarded an offi
cial despatch, in which he says that Chattanooga
is ours, East Tennessee is free, the progress of
our forces on the enemy's flank and rear is going
on weft, and that the tail of his retreating army
still not go unmolested.

William Rosenthal, Esq., in German, at the Hall
of Mr. John Itothloff. It was one of the largest

and that there are some people in said township nearly as

accepted the school law, that is simply a Lie, but which
tits very naturally into the communication and the column.
The School law has been in saccessfal operation In Centre
for 12 years. As for largo inajorittoo, Centre MS always
