Show is com posed entirely of colored men. Their heroic tirnverv in storming Fort Wagner where thev lost their gallant Colonel, has forever j in. j h hi . settled the question in regaid to their val no as soldiers. i nose vim K.y.. employment of negroes assoldiers.il put ting down the rebellion, can have no legiti mate excuse except that they wish to save the negro at the expense of the white man, or cle that they have no desire to see the rebels whipped. The Uichmond papers now threaten to organize the bhicks under the lead of their masters, but the Georgia Cm itittitinnnlhl says they can't be trusted, nnd thnt "the most seemingly devoted slaves arc found wanting in the hour of trial." That is the true reason of the dread of the rebels in our arming negro soldiers, nnd this Is the reason why the rebel sympathisers, the copperheads of the north, aid them in their opposition to the employment of nc cro soldiers. It would be terrible to have a rebel soldier killed by a negro, but nothing to have a w hite laborer or mechanic of the north killed by a rebel, white or black. i..-.- Among the criminal proceedings of the court, perhaps the case of the Com vs, Peter II. Fisher, excite most interest. The testimony substantially disclosed the follow ing facts : Mr. Fisher under authority of the Provost Marshal, has been employed in arresting de serters and other transgressors against tho government. While passing along the road in Lower Augusta, hc was assailed by young Zimmerman, Sliipm no. Sterner, and several other?, with epithets, more emphatic than polite, and who, by way of showing their contempt of the government authori ties, and their copperhead proclivities, cheered lor Jeff. Davis, and threatened to kill the d d abolitionist. Mr. Fisher, who is said to be a most vigilant officer, thought It his duty to arrest them, and brought one of them, Mr. Zimmerman, before Charles J. Bruucr, Esq., tho Deputy Provost Marshal , of this county, who discharged him with a re- j primand. But it was deemed advisable to arraign Mr. Fisher before the Grand Jury, on a bill of indictment, before a majority of whom ho stood as much chance as a heretic before a Spanish Inquisition. On his trial in Court, he was found guilty of assault and battery in making the arrest. Judgo Jordan, tho President, believing that Mr. Fisher had acted under a mistaken au thority, was disposed to impose a moderate fine and the costs but the associate Judges, Ehipman and Turner, overruled him, and made the fine $30. Judgo Jordan, in pass ing sentence, deemed it proper to statu, that the fine was no act of his, but his as sociates. It was just such a case as would have enabled an intelligent and impartial judge whose sympathies for our ".Southern breth cni" had been prematurely and incautious ly developed, to show his magnanimity and set himself right before the people. Hut magnanimity tempered with justice, is a rare attribute, and not readily found in con nection with stolidity, stimulated by the blind zeal of party bigotry. m 9 m ' IS7"Thc Copperhead journals publish Yallandighnm's address issued from the British side of Niagara Falls, with approval. We need no better evidence of their rebel sympathies than their endorsement of this impudent and traitorous political dema gogue, who does not hesitate to proclaim to the people of Ohio the most unmitigated falsehood. Wo publish the following ex tract in which hc asserts that every one south "'was willing to consider and discuss the questiou of re-union." Now it is well known that all tho leading rebels have on all occasions, declared themselves opposed to re-union on any terms whatever, baying that they would not unite w ith the north if they were even willing to become their slaves. And yet this demagogue and trai tor is endorsed by such papers as the Nor thumberland county Drmnnnt. Tho cap ture of Vallandigham's friend Morgan, has somewhat damaged his prospects for Gov ernor and his reputation as a prophet : "Travelling a thousand miles and more, through near one-half of the Confederate states, and sojourning for a time at widely different points, I met not one. man, woman, or child who was not resolved to perish rather than yield to the presmre ol arms even in the most desperate extremity. And whatever may and must bo the varying tor tune of the war, in all which I rcco'guize the tiuml .f Pr.vi.h.ni-f. rw.mi'm.r !il,lv in it,,. ultimate issue of this great trial of the state, ami people ot America, tlicy arc better pre pared now every way to make good their luexorable purpose than at any period binee the beginning of the struggle. These may indeed be unwelcome truths; but they are addressed only to candid and honest men. Neither, however, let mo add, did I meet any one, whatever his opinions or his station, political or private, who did not declnre his readiness, when the war shall have ceased and invading armies been withdrawn, to consider and diseuss the question of re union. And who shall doubt the issue of the argument ? I return, therefore, with my opinions and convictions as to war or peace, and my faith as to final results from sound policy' and w iso statesmanship, not only unchangeLl, but coufinued auii strength cued." . - i ;57Governor CrnTl.N, ns will be seen by the proceedings of the Union Convention ut Pittsburg, has been renominated for Govenor.

In other words, they in tend to cut loose from all the free states, and to buildup a great slave confederacy in the South, and to accomplish this purpose they will use all the resources of the govern ment proper. But should they fail in this (as they assuredly will), the plan is for South Carolina to secede first the other cotton states arc to follow (I think he mentioned the order in which tliey were 'to go out,' but I um not positively) the border states are to be persuaded fit forced to join them in their unholy cause, and then we are to have such a civil war as this world never witnessed.' lie added : '1 had hoped, until a month or six weeks ago, thut Mr. Bivckin- ridge wus ignorant of till this matter; but I have had evidence as clear ns the noonday sun that hc is as deeply implicated ns Yan cey himself; and more than that, Mr. Bu ehunan is into their scheme up to the eyes.'

On a motion to postpone its considera tion, eighty-four voted for its postponement and forty-five against it. Mr. Walborn moved that the resolution be taken up before making nominations, but it was opposed bv Mr. Campbell, and the Convention voted to take up nominations, Mr. Campbell then nominated Gov.

I find that, although there is considerable confidence entertained as to tho ultimate result ol the undertaking, that no verv rapid progress is looked for. Like all sieges it is a work of time, and it has been under taken bv General Gilinorc anil Admiral Diilghren with no anticipation of progress ing with any great rapidity. The defences of Charleston, bv both hind and sea, were greatly strengthened since the first attack under Admiral Dupont, which did nothing out uenionsinuc ineir -a can ponus, aim en able them to strengthen them. All the work on the lower end of Morris Island which havo been taken by Gen. Gilmore, were not then erected, and the parapet guns of Sumter were not regarded by the enemy as of any great value. The guns- ol the Ke okuk were also then in our possession. The naval battery, which I mentioned yesterday as in progress of erection, under command of ('apt. Foxhall A. Parker.ol'tho Wabash, to be manned by about three hun dred bluejackets, will not be able to open on the enemy probably for a week to come, and until it is finished nothing decisive may be looked for. We will have our daily bombardment, the Monitors will go up be fore dinner, after dinner, and after tea, in squads of two or three, regularly rcleived by the Ironsides, keeping the enemy closely packed away in his "rat holes" night and day during this sultry weather, giving him no opportunity to cook, or eat, or sleep with any degree of comfort. The sailor boys are confident of success when they are ready and will dash in with their usual vim. Wagner responds and will continue to re spond with nn occasional grfli. Sumter about once in ten minutes throws a heavv rine shot at the impenetrable armor ot our iron clad, or hurls a shell in the direction ot the laud battery, and occasionally there is a report coming from the direction of .lames Island, showing that General (iilmorc is keeping close watch and ward over any Hunk movements that may be attempted by the enemy. He is also assisted in this work by some of the smaller gunboats and all was progressing well in that direction at lust uecounts. As to the fall of Sumter soon after the 1 fall of Wagner, no one seems to have the ! least doubt. Fort Wagner, which was pass- ; ed by in silence by Admiral Dupont. is im- i doubtedlv tho key to Charleston, as evinced by the indomitable defocc made by the ene my, with such terrible loss. There proba bly never whs a fortification beseiiieil with such frightful sacrifice of life to the beseig ers as has been the case of Fort Wagner, and from the preparations making, there is no doubt thut bloodier times ure yet iu store for them. The results of the siege, so far as our iron clads are concerned, are emphatically satis- factory. 1 ho Ironsides walls ot solid iron I have proved impenetrable, though she docs . not go into such close range as the Monitors ' but still she has only so far received nunier ' ous scars of war, which havo bcuutilicd I rather than disfigured her appearance, or ' lessened her efficiency. The pivots of her i port-stoppers work smoothly, and her gun- ners have been drilled to a state of efficiency that is truly admirable. I The Monitors go in and come out, and the I fight iluily progresses with the report "no I body was hurt," so l.ir as the iron elads are concerned. Of course there are a few casualties in the shore butteries, but very few in view of the magnitude of the undertaking, or the punish ment of tho enemy.

The inhabitant of Savannah pre truly frightened. All valuables are being n niov- cil to tho interior of the State, and the j people consider themselves as having been ; left defenseless. General Mercer, in Coni j inand of the city, has repeatedly called upon I Governor Brow n for troops, but has as often i received the reply that "there were no troops i to send and the people must defend them selves." When you consider that there are left in and about the city but six hundred cavalry, three hundred infantry and a batte ry of light artillery, it will be evident that General Mercer is a second "King Cole" with an army magnificent in its littleness. Tho inhabitants will not arm the negroes, because they ure afraid that the negroes will desert to our lines, arms, equipments nnd all. There is no danger of this w hilo they are kept to work on fortifications. And this, I think, is the true reason while th ' chivalry do not "tight gentlemen with nig- gers. Tho Savannah people are afraid thut some of our monitors will come up the river, or that the Yankee troops will appear upon tho limited horizon of their hopes and cap ture their sacred friends. All their fortifica tions arc almost deserted of garrisons. At night thev throw a picket boat down the river to w atch for our coming, and "nil their bat- i terics and fortifications, instead of being manned, are only picketed. If Savannah is not now ours, if we choose to go and take it, then niy ideas of an eay conquest are very limited. A few Yankee troops assist ed by a monitor, I believe, could go up and possess the city, Tho ram Savannah will try the old route of the Atlanta, if so, War saw Sound will w itness another seccsh irou clad captured. Army or lite 1'otuniar, Washington, August 4. Advices from tho Army of the Potomac say that the enemy yesterday sent a reeon noitering forco towards tho Kappahaunock iu the vicinity of Kelly's Ford, probably to ascertain our position and strength, but after a skirmish the foe was driven back. It is generally believed that up to yes terday Lee had received no reinforcements of consequence from Richmond, but the rebels have been sending heavy supplies to the vicinity of Fredericksburg, as if intend ing to re-occupy it la strength. Information has been received that gue rilla parties scour tbe country between the Rappahannock and the Potomac south of the Occoquan. Lieut. Koland and Lieut. Wilson, the former of the 1Mb. aud tho latter of the 5th U. H. cavalry, were wounded in lluford's fight at Culprppf r ou f stmday. Import nut from iortli t'nrollnn. FortTKiWH Moxnon, August 2.

The Fourth of July will henceforth be us : memoiable in the military annals of the American I'nion as it already is in the poli- ( tical history of the people. It will be the; anniversary of a double victory for the I'nion amis at the most critical centres of military . activity in the Last aud the W est. Ou the lth of July Vicksburg surrendered to the I'nion forces under General Giant, and the ' i morning T the same day saw the iiTvading i army of the Confederates, under Gen. Let. , in lull ret nut toward tlio I'oioiuuc. ii is ; certainly a singular and striking coincidence ; that on the same day, and that, too, a day i so memorable iu Aimiican history.thegre.il I Confederate s?f'ftgh-.ld t'.ir Misippi should have fallen, and the great t'onfedc I rate invasion of the N.ulh have been ahan- ' ', dom-.l us a failure. Tiie fall of Vicksburg i-. hiwvev, a fai I more serious Mow to tie1 South than the ! failure of General Lee. !out!icrn writers: I and state-men have from the tii -l justly con- : j sidered the possession of thi st roiigliold and ! the command of the M.ssi-sippi, hU h i: : secure, an essential not only to the success ' but to the very existence of the Confederacy. Mr. Jefferson Daxv-.tUe bead ol the Con federacy, is the 111:11 best able to judge of its importance, and we have on record his ( lliphatic testimony on tht head. In the speech he delivered on the -!t li of last ccnibi r to the Legislature of Mississippi pointed out that the grand object of De- ; . I"' 1 the ! North was "to get possession ot the river, j and thus cut the Confederacy in two," and ! dwelt at great length on the vital impor tance of defeating the enemy's fatal designs in this direction, "lie considered the do- . fence of the Mississippi Valley a necessity i not only to the ptople of the adjacent Stales i but to "the Confederacy itself, Vick-Vurg at all har.ards. and every effort must be strained for this purpose.'' These arc Mr. j Jefferson Davis' words, and he is not given I to exaggeration, lie virtually staked the j existence of the Confederacy on the posses- ! sion of Vicksburg and Port Hudson. Vicks- j burg has fallen, aud General Banks, a tort- night ago, was within twenty yards of the citadel of Port Hudson, w hi. o the niiviga- ! tion ol the river to New Orleans wus per; feet I v free. When President Lincoln solemnly called the people of tho North to render thanks to Heaven, on the great anniversary of the na- . , . . lions lllsioiv, ins aioiiiiiuii " lis, jieimi.1 ii- relevnnt nor premature ; while all who un derstand and sunpathi.o with the higher interests and iesite of humanity at stake in this great conflict will be disposed to join with General Mende in "returning thanks to (iod, that in the goodness of His providence He has thought it tit to give the victory to the cause of the just." 'I'lie liillucm't' of O ur Victories) Iu I'll rM. 'The jlem of tueei-w tthioh bus Mien ou the federal urum iu tbe surrender of YK.'krburg." These words nro almost the entire com ment of the London Tiuu upon the most important victory of the war. While Yioks- i burg was in possession of the rebels, the J linn paraded tlio importance ol the posi tion, its strength, the gallantry of its defend ers, and considered hopeless tho task of General Grant. Now that the hopeless task has been nccompbshci1, and Vicksburg is in the possession of the National forces, it has scarcely a word for the victory. Could the Thunderer thunder, more unjustly? The inconsistency of its course is not with a comic aspect, for it must have been hard for the prophet to eat his own prophecies, ami, indeed, his grimaces in taking such an un welcome meal ure monstrous. We may mea sure by the silence of tho Tiuu in regard to this victory its chagrin aud disappointment. Hud it been able to have spoken ono word of comfort to the defeated Confederacy, it would not havo ubstained from speech. Hut with all its ingenuity, it was unable to escape from its own record, and could only disparage our suueessby the sullen statement that tho Mississippi would still bo controll ed by the guerilla parties of the cueiiiv.
