The Venom of Copperheade—The Tory, Organ Gloating Over the A.troetties of Treason In the midst of the poignant sorrow which filled tbo heart of every humane'and every pa triotic man, at the atrocious murder of the de fenceless citizens of Lawrence, Kansas, by : _ a horde of rebel cut-throats, the Tory Organ be comes jubilant over the event, claps its bands with very joy, and shouts in glee to_ think that a band of drunken slave drivers succeeded in as - sassinating a hundred or two of defencelesii Abolitionists. When vte read _ the paragraph quoted . below in the .Tory Organ, its brutality was so gross that we were conetrained to believe there was some mistake even in its publication in that vile sheet. But as it-bas been allowed to pass without a withdriwal or even an tipolOgy for its beastliness, we quote it to prove - to what extremes the hellish purposes of the " secret sympathizsrs may be driven: "The Abolitionists of Lawrence Kansas who in times of profound peace used to makh into Missouri to steal negroes, burn and destroy property, end sometimes by way of dial - Rion hang slave holder - have had the poisoned chalice forced to their lips, and - have:b.een com pelled to drain it to the very dregs. - Jim Lane, the succeed& of - John Brown, resided in Law rence when the guerrilla Quantrell , raided the place. Line, although a murderer, stands ,_so. high ih the estimation - of the administration that he-bolds a commission in thuarmy. Yet, instead of making any effort to.arrest QtrautrelL and his band in their depredations. nothingwaa heard of Jim until Quantrell had4tft, when:we received the gratifyiog intelligence that Lane was after him, probably with a sharp stick.. It is not unlikely that the redoubtable horse-deal ing General had immured himself in a cellar while the raid was going on—fortnnately, too; for if Quantrell had caught him, the adminis tration would have lost' one of its Main props. But, a man born to be hung is riot likely to Ale killed in a rebel raid." The perversion of facts in regard to the con duct of General Lane is base. , and wilful, and can only be equalled by the fiendlihness' with which the beasts who 'contra the oolifnins of the Ibry Organ rejoice at the astzassinationof mei while they were dreaming of peace and security in the midst of their families The Corlstian men and women of Harriatirg may.well shnd= der, when a public journal in their own midst thus sanctions murder and rejoices in the assas sination of defenceless. loyal, men. It is the true spirit of copperheadism thus set forth in the rejoicings of the Tory Organ. It is ;what those who; ontrol that sheet have beep seeking for—and were an cpportnnity Offered, the men who hang about that concern, would as• gladly conduct Quantrell's through the shades of night to the deOrs of loyal citimns of Harrisburg, there to hare them 'tuurdered their dobr stile, as they now 4 tejoice over the murders of Lawrence I;.

With the Dauiceratic leaders it has always been the custom thus to boast, but when they managed to foist themselves en the poople and achieve power, their promises of economy were like their profcstions of patriot ism, all false and fruitless . 0 In comparison with such men, the action of Gov.

I have the.bonor to report the practical d& molition:of Fort Sumter, as the result of our seven daytf:bourbardment of .that work, incla: ding two days during which a powerful north erratum storm most seriously diminished the accuracy andleffebt of our fire. Fort Suinter is to-day•amhapeless and.harm• lees maes of ruins. My chief of artillery, Col. J W. Turner, reports: its destruction so far completed that it is no longer of any avail in the defence of ;Charleston. He also says that by a longer fire it could be. made more com pletely a ruin and a mass of broken MB/3012iy, but could scarcely be more powerless for the de. fence of:the harbor. My breaching batteries were located at dis tances varying betw.eeri 3,880 and 4,240 yards from the works, and now remain as effective as ever.. I deeni it unnecessary at present to con . thine the fire upon the ruins of Sumter. . .. I have alto at great labor and under a heavy fire from James Island, , established batteries on my left. ithin'effective range of the heart. of Charleston city; and have opened with them afteo giving Gen.

Gmucter;:—l have the honor to report the effect that our breaching batteries have had upon Fort Sumter and the condition of that work tolnight, at'the close orthe seventh day's `bombardment. - The gorge wall 'of the fort Is almost a complete mass, of ruins, and several casemates, about midis! the.face . , are re moved nearly, and Ark pieces, quite to the arches, and but , fon the sand bags with which the casentates Were filfed,and which have served to eristain the:broken etches and n3asses of ma eonry, it would long, since halie teen' entirely Cut away, and With the arches to the floor of the seCond tfer of omernates. The debris on , this front now Anima rimpart reaching as high as thelbSeir of these - casemates. The parapet wall of the twOtertheasterly faces, is complete ly mxiled away, a small portion only being left' in the angle Made with the gorge wall, and the rampart of Weed faces is aloe a'total ruin. Quite one' half. of Our . projectiles seem to have struck ' t he'. , parade and parapet, of these two fact!, and judging from the effect they have had upon the gorge wall within our obiwevation the destruction of Ma sonry on these,two sides must , be very great, , and I am of 'the opinion that nearly every arch' in these fronts must be broken in. But one gun remaint.in position On these two fionts, and this is to the angle of the gorge, and, I think, unservimable. The ruin eitends•aronud, taking in the north easterly , 'face as far as can be seen. A portion of title' face, - adjoining the angle` • it makes with llierideltlieasterty fabe is concealed from the great hrimber of my Missies, which have struck in this: angle dpring the :last two days.. It cannotbe otherwise than greatly dein- aged, and , l do not think any tune can be reft on the face in serviceable condition. The raM parts in this angle, as well as in the south easterly face, must be plowed up and greatly shattered, therparapet on the latter face being torn off in many places, as we can eee, - and. I hardly think the platforms of the three remain-' lag guns on this face could have esceped.: With the assistance of a powerful glass, I cannot 'de termine that more. han one of these guns Can be used, and it has been dismounted once. The carriages of the others are evidently more' or less shattered; and suchts the ruin of the Par apet and parade_ in the immediate vicinity , of this gcm;.that it probably could not be Served for any length of time. .In fine, the destruction of the fort is so ,far complete that it is to-day of no avail in the:de fence of the harbor of Charleston. By a longer fire it can be made more completely.a ruin, but could scarcely be more powerless for the de fence of the-harbo& . - 4 ,, therefore respectfelly submit. my opinion - that- a continuance of bar fire is no longer neceecary, as giviug us no epds adequate for the:consumption of our:reso.urnee. • Very respectfully. your ob't sere , ' t, . _ JOUR N.

The Chronicle has received the Georgia Cm stitutionalist of the 24th of August, containing a letter from Robert Toombs, late Senator of the United States and late rebel Secretary of State. It is undoubted and startling evidence of the utter bankruptcy and failure of the Confedera cy. He boldly exposes the wickedness and corruption of the managers of the bogus gov ernment, and says that the whole rebellion is rotten, useless, and tucked. The laws are weak, and the rulers oppressive, and a starving com munity are impoverished and plundered, I quote the following remarkable paragraph : "Can lay more to expose the boundless folly of our present financial system ? Ihe hutory of the currency of our enemies, since the beginning of this war. is humiliating to us. Either had foreign credits. Both had powerful and established State Governments to back them. We were united in favor of the war. They were divided They have kept twice the . number of men in the field that we have, upon har the money, and paid their soldiers better than we have. Their treasury notes st/1 at a discount of lessAtis thirty per cent ; ours at more than otra THOUSAND. The reason is solely that their Government haa better understood and more firmly adhered to the true principles of currency than ours. In all else we bad the advantage." Toombs proceeds, and says that taxation, rigid comprehension, and loans, are the only ways by which sound currency can be obtained. He thus concludes: "We must act, and that quickly. The patio inter est and public safety sot7l no longer allow delay. Our present system is utterly insuppollable. It is upset ting the very foundations of private rights; daily weaken ing public confidence in our cause at home and abroad; towing among the people dangerous discontents, which are daily deepen ing and widening. patriotism demands that all'good men should unite to correct this eviL THE LATE RAID IN KANSAS.

Qoantrell's men are scattered in their fast nesses throughout the border counties, and are still being hunted down by all our available troops, gathered from`ill parts of the district. Many of them have abandoned their worn-out horses and gone to the brush afoot. They were all remounted at'Linience with the horses cap tured there, leading their own bare-backed ani mals laden with the plundered goods. Nearly all of the latter were abandoned in the chase beta* they got fat into Missouri, and over three hundred horses have already been taken by our troops, Including some of those taken at Lawrence. Most of the goods and money stolen have been retaken, and will, as far as posAble, be 'restored. - • - -- . , Reports of twenty-one more of the maraud ere having been killed, have been recei rad since yesterday,, making a total of about eighty, which will probably be : largely increased before any considerable part of our troops withdraw from the pursuit.
