This distressing aftection—which renders life

Young persons are too apt to commit excesses

the power of procreation,is lost sooner by those

•••I OPERIaIOIO3 ON THTJ - ESDAT.
PORT BorAL, July 31. r
I learn from "Charleston Bar that the oper +-
dons of the siege progressed yesterday very
favorably both by land and sea. The same
routine of bumbardment of Fort Wagner from
both the Monitors sod the siege battery of Gen.
Gilmore was kept up through the day, and late
into the 'night, and tine progress was reported
to have beet made on shore during the day.
IJONEIDENCH IN THE FINAL 'RESULT.
I find that, although there is considerable
Confidence entertained as to the ultimate result
I:if the undertaking, that no very rapid progress
is looked for. Like all sieges, it ae a woik of
time,, and it has been undertaken by General
:Gilmore and Admiral Delgtmen with no antici
,pation 'of progressing with any great rapidity.
The defences of Charleaton, by both land and
sea, were greatly strengthened since the first
;attack under-Admiral Dupost, which did noth
iog but demons rate their weak points, and
eiztable them to strengthen them. All the works
'on the lower mil of Morris Island, which have
!;been taken by General Gilne.re, were not then
!erected,', and the parapet guns of bumter were
l ! not regarded by the enemy as of any great
value. The guns of the Keokuk were also then
insin our' poseetsion.
REMEMBER
The naval battery; which I montined yester
iday as in progress erection, under the com
mand of Capt. froihall A Parker,of the Wabash,
t 'be manned by about three hundred blue
jacketo,will not be ready to open on tt:e enemy
probably for . a week to come, ant until it is
fibisht d'nothing - decisive may be looked for.—
ourdaily boratkodmeat,tue.idou
itors will go up before dinner, after d i nner, and
after tea, in &pads ti two or three, regularly
relieved by the Ironsidts, keeping the enemy
closely p.tcked •away, in his "ret• holes" night
and day during thii sultry weather, giving him
no opportunity to cook, or eat, or sleep with
any degree of comfort. The sailor boys ate
coi,fld , nt of sums when they are ready and
will dash in with th.ir usual vim.
Wagner responds and will continue to re
spond with an occasional gun. Sumter about
once in temminutes throes a heavy rill , shot
at ihe impeuetrable armor of our iron clads, or
hurls a shell In the direction of the land bAt
tery, and occasionally there is a report coming'
nom the direction of James Island, showing
that - General Gilmore is keeping close watch
and ward over any flanking 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
directiop at last accounts.
As to the fall of Sumter soon after tbefall of
Wagner,,no one - seems to have the least doubt.
Fort Wagner, which was passed by in silence
by Admiral Dupont, is undoubtedly the key cf
harleston, as evinced by the icdonthable de:
fence made by the- enemy, with such terrible
ioss. There probably never was a fortification
tesieeed with,such _ frigh,ful sacrifice of life to
the besiegers as has been the case of Fort Wag•
her, and trona the preparations making, there
is no doubt that bloodier times are yet in store
for them.
EFFEerrs OF TEM ENGAGENRNTS OM TUB IRON CLADS
The results of the siege, so far as our iron
cads are concerned, are emphatically , satisfac
tory. The Irrinsides' walls of solid iron have
proved impenetrable, then& she does not-go
into inch close range as the licinitors, but still
she has only so far received numerous scars of
war, which have beautified rather than disfig
tired her appearance, or lessened her efficiency.
The pivots of her port-stoppers work smoothly,
and der gunners have been drilled, to a state
of effi_lency that is truly adiairable. • ,
The Monitors - go in and' come out, and the
fight daily progresses with the report" nobody
was hurt;" so' far as the iron clads are con
cerned. '
Of course there are a few casualties in the
shore batteries, but very few in view of the
magnitude of the undertaking, or the punish-
Merit of the enemy.'
Two deserters from the Thunderbolt Battery,
on the Savannah;river, were brought on board
thelrermont last iight. 'They represent the
. people a's in;high glee at the successful defence
of Fort Wagner, and begin to regain some con
fidence as to 'their ability to hold the city.—
When the siege of the fort commenced all were
despondent, but the successful resistance of the
two assaults has restored confidence. They say
that there is no truth in`the rumor that Admi
ral Tatnall is preparing to come down the Os-
BlibaW with another iron clad. Such a move
ment was talked of, but the people generally,
after the fate at the Atlanta, wanted their re
maining boat retained for the defence of the
city. z`
;The work of , making improvements on- the
otherairon:clads, suggested by, the fate of the
Atlanta, they repra,ent as progreselog. They
!were glying.her an interior lining of boiler iron

enthusiasm is now expended on sand banks.—
They even urge that the guns be taken out of
them and placed In earth forts, eFpecially as all
idea of aggressive warfare en their part is re
garded as over.
OUR MOVXMIENTS IN GRDEGIA
The progreqt of Rosecrans in the direction r f
Rome and Atlanta was regarded by the rebels
as a feint, and attracted but little attention.—
A demand had been made for thu return home
or the troops ftorn that section of the State, but
the answer was that they were all at Charleston
and could not be spared. They represent a large
force to be at Charleston, and that there is
scarcely any troops at Savannah, though
Thunderbolt Battery is garrisoned by about sot
hundred effective men, it being, the outpost of
the defensive works of the city. They represent
the desire on the part of the conscripts to desert
as very general, but the difficulties almost in
surmountable.

ANOThER PRIZE.
The great blockade running steamer Fogle
was brought in yesterday as a 'prize, from the
coast of Florida, having been captured near the
Sole-in-the-Wall atter an exciting chase, during
which fifteen shots were tired at her, three of
which struck her. She is about. one hundred
and sixty feet in length, with a breadth of
beam not over twenty five feet ; sits very low
in the water, and has a decidedly rakish ap
pearance. She was evidently built 'or the
trade, and is said to have made a dozen soc
mishit trips from Charleston to Nast•au and
back. She was the boastat , d toast of the trade,
and our blockader; were taunted with her aim
blames. Her cargo consists of alt and assotte.d
goods, and is not very valuable. She was sent
North yesterday, and will come back as soon as
she is repaired to be used as a dispatch steamer
for tue squadron.

ANECDOTES OF GRERBAL GRANT —We rind the
following in the Detroit Free Prey:
A gentleman of this city, who was an early
Mori of General Grant, furnishes the follow
ing reminiscences of the brave General who
has so inseparably linked his name with the •
victories of the western armies:
"General Grant is of a Methodist family of
Ohio, and married a daughter of a Methodist
local preacher, and the grand-daughter of the
pioneer of friethodipm in Western Pen. stivania
of the name of Wrenehall. When not much
over twelve years of age he was at echo 1, and
had as a nil( oirellow his own natural cottati,
%bore parents were British antrjtc a of Canada.
Young Grant was taught to forgive injuries, at
a divine precept, and t do go d and nor , vil
to others, and his father had imp-o•sed his
mind with love of country and ret-errnce for
the moo of Waant-gton. Thu Canadian had
b. en otherwise educate d, and believed Wash
lngton a rebel. On one occution a discus i n
arose between the boys aa to love of country
and duty to a king. when John said: "
(Garzs had b, en nicknamed U S.) your Wush-
Itzton was a rebel and fought aotuat the
"Grant replied: 'Jack, you must stop that or

The bo)s fowl t. Jack got the worbt of ii ;
but U. S. was about tieing whipped at home fur

him. saying, 'The bob who will tigh. frr Wash

"Some few years ago, the boys, now men
grown, met in Canada, and recurred to &him

?'
'• • Yes, I do ; std, Jack, ra do it again
under like provocation. Washington is my
idol, and to me it is more insulting to speak
disrespectfady of Washington or my country
than to denounce myself. Mother's maxim
&es very weal in private quarrels, but it don't
apply where one's country is denounced. or its
goods. Washington is first in the American
pantheon, and I could not rest easy it I per
mitted any abuse of his name.'

Tura GRIAT NOETHWIer —IMP =ANT Disoov-
RAY. —We have to communicate to our readers
to-day intelligence which, if fully establiahed
by further examination and inquiry, will add
new life to the seal of Nor' wr stern adventurers,
and hasten the opening up of the territory at a
I late which will outrun the anticipations of the
most sanguine. For some time it has been
known that gold was to be found on the S is
kati hewen river, near thee Rocky mountains
and it was presumed that it had been as-hed
by the river from the gold tearing rocks of
I these mountains, and would constquentiy be
found only in the beds of the rivers, and not
elsewhere in the territory. Recent discoveries
indoate that this view of the matter is not cor
rect, and that in order to find the geld of the
Mcrthwest, it will not be necessary to traveito
the whole breadth of the great plains to the
head. waters of the Saskatchewan.
Gold has been discovered at. Fort E tic 3 on
the Assiniboine, and also on branches of the
Qu' Appello river, streams which unite and run
into the Red river, and have no connection
with the Rocky Mountain range. Of this fact
there can be no doubt. It is not only commu
nicated by letter, from Red river, but Governor
Dallas, of Hudson's Bay Company, ,she has
recently arrived from the territory, is person
ally cognisant of the discovery.
We understand that Governor Dallas washed
gold with his own hands at Fort Edmonton on
the Saskatchewan, and in farther proof of the
existence Of the precious metal, we may add
that large numbers of the Selkirk people have
gone West to enter upon regular mining opera
