Enforcement of the Draft.
A Washington special to the Ar, y , Triaun d
insists that the civil and military authorities
it, Washington are determined to enforce the
draft, it being considered necessary to fill up
the gaps in the army occasioned by expiration
of time ind natural waste. Numbers of eificera
have ieen sent north to take charge of the con
scripts and bring them into the army at once.
Seizure of Jell. Davie% Private Library
and Correspondence.
The special correspondent of the N. Y. Her
ald, in a. communioation dated "near Adam);
Mississippi, July 12, 1863," states that a com
pany of cavalry, escorting a foraging train,
having learned from a negro where Mr. Davis's
library was, proceeded to the house, where they
found thousands of volumes of books, a few
bushels of private and political papers, and
several valuable gold headed eases, one of them
presented by Franklin Pierce. The papers are
said to be of great political importance. Of
course everything was seized. Some of the
lettere and papers have been sent to the Herald
and will no doubt be palliated if of any con
sequence.

as possible.]
The I..pirit of the Democracy.
At no period sines the organization of the
Democratio party was its spirit more deter
mined, or its prospects of success better.
Knowing thia, the extravagance of passion ex
hibited by the ultra administration party—the
Black Republicans and wool-dyed Abolition
ists—amounts almost to insanity. Powerless
at the ballot-box, they rest their hopes entirely
in the bayonet and the gibbet, and hence we
find them daily and hourly beseeching the
President to establish martial law in all the
States of the North and to arrest, imprison and
hang all who have the good acme to oppose
their heretical opinions and fanatical policy.
While they regret the frenzy which dictates
such extreme measures, the Democracy are by
no means moved by-these appeals for Execu
tive interference with their rights, or fright
ened by the idle anti silly threats with which
their ears are continually► assailed. They
have their candidates in the field, and mean
to elect them. They know their rights, and
are determined to maintain them. ' They will
win peaceably by the ballot, if that is not in
terfered With.. and if it is, they will win by
any means which circumstances may render
necessary to achieve success. There is no di
vision in their ranks. They are united in senti
meat as they are in determination, midi° power
exists which can defeat or crush them. They
hit* raised their battle flag, in fritioh they
have inscribed, " The Constitution as it is—
the Union as it was "—and that flag they in
tend to carry to victory, dispite any and every
effort that the opposition NU make to pre
vent it. •
The ultras may as well Make up their minds
at once that this is the case—it will save them
a world of useless trouble, and`in the end much
shame and mortification.
.A Hard Case—lA there Na !EtlOodk?
We understand that the 173 a Regiment P.
V., has been ordered from Norfolk, where it
had been stationed for many months, and sent
with Gen. lifeade's
,army across the Potomac
to watch Lee, or to fight.him, as the case may
be. This is all right ; but we have information
that an order has- been issued by the War De
partment directing their detention in the army
until the 15th of August, notwithstanding their
term of service expires within the month of
July. This—unless circumstances impera
tively require it—is not right. If it be cor
rect, as stated to us, that a petition, signed
by the whole regiment, has been sent to Gov.
Curtin, asking to be mustered out at the expi
ration of the:ir term of service, we trust that
ms Excellency will do so, unless, as we said
before, the condition of affairs absolutely re
quire their continuance in the army for a lon
ger period.
Kentucky Democratic State Ticket.
The Democrats of Kentday have.notninated
the following ticket. Under prevailing cir
cumstances—the military poWer there being

of events—we do not think it can be elected.

fighting among ourselves, we might fall a prey
to the power of these two nations. The N. Y.
Sun, in view of the Union feeling and move
mute in. Louisiana, Tennessee and North Car
olina, says :
"It is to be hoped that a wise statesmanship
may influence the Washington government to
encourage by every means these hopeful move
ments in the seceded States. Every appear•
ance of imposing conditions should be scru
pulously avoided except the one imperative
requirement of fidelity to the °institution of
the United States. The American people are
especially tenacious in repelling all restraints
that do not necessarily proceed from constitu
tional law, and will not yield obedience, even
to these, unless they accord with their reason
and conscience. Wp should be careful then
not.to impose burdens on the Southern people
which we ourselves would not touch with our
little finger. Let us have faith in our national
destiny and events, did freely welcomq back

Maj. John S. Filler.

pondent, hi his account of the as
sault on Fort Wagner, on the night of the 18th,
=I
“Mai. Fileo, of the 57th Pennsylvania, a
volunteer aid to Gen Strong, rushed once im
petuously into the fort with the first comers,
came back to the parapet and tried to get vol
unteers for a charge on a gun, and, wonder
fully escaping death, was taken prisoner.”
We have no doubt that Major John S. Filler,
of Bedford county, is the, officer of whom such
honorable mention is made. They have got
the name wrong.. We are sorry to hear of the
Major's misfortune ; but it is better to be cap
tured thaw killed—and if the Major has his .
spectacles with him he may manage to get
along.tolerably well until exchanged.

FROM C ARLESTON
ATTACK ON SORT WAGNER-DESPERATE FIGHTING
AND REPULSE OF OUR TROOPS
From rebel sources we have the following :
QuAlimewecn, July 18.—The Irensides, five
monitors, five gun and mortar boats, assisted
by two land batteries mounting five guns,
fired furiously at Fort Wagner all day. One
of our gunitarriages was dismounted.
CRARLUSTON. July 19 —After a furious bom
bardment of eleven hours the enemy assaulted
Battery Wagner desperately and repeatedly.
Our people fought desperately, and repulsed
the attack with great slaughter. Ourloss was
relatively light, but includes many valuable
officers.
Brigadier Vonoral Tolif4forro ommnded on
our side. G. T. BEAUREGARD.
CHARLESTON, July 22.—The Richmond Whig
says : " The enemy commenced shelling again
yesterday, with but few casualties. We had,
in the battle of the 18th inst., about 150 killed
and wounded. The enemy's tom including
prisoners, was about 2 000. Nearly 800 were
buried under flag of truce. Col. Putnam, act
ing Brigadier General, and Col. Shaw, cm ,
mending the negro regiment, were tilled."
The, above, except as to the loss, confirmed
by our own mounts. The battle was terribly
fierce, but we have not room to-day for par
ticulars. We give a brief account, received
per steamer. Arago
INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF THE ATTACK.
NNW Yonx, Ally 26,—0n the 19th the re
bels attempted to drive our-ft/A-ea from James
Island. The attack was sudden and unex
pected .; but Gen Perry met and repulsed them
with great slaughter.
The gunboat Pawnee, which supported the
left flank, grounded,wnd a rebel battery opened
upon her, firing about fifty shots, thirty-nine
of which hither. She subsequently floated off
and opened upon the rebels, putting them to
flight.
Our casualties were small, and the rebels
were taught a lesson , which they will not soon
flirget.
The bombardment of Fort Wagner was re•
newed on the morning of the 22d; the iron
clads co-operating with the . army.
During the day Fort Wagner was silenced
for some time and her colors shot away.
The new Union batteries were opened upon
the rebels, doing great execution.
LATER.
A charge was made upon Fort Wagner, and
our troops, after a desperate struggle, were
obliged to fall back, which they did in excel
lent order, and held their old position.
The loss on our side was suite severe ; but
our total loss in killed, wouninied, and missing,
since the 10th, has only been about 1,000.
The 48th New York regiment lost about 450
men, and only three of Its officers escaped un
harmed.
The Catskill was struck over fifty times, but
is alt right. She went to Hilton Head for sup
plies and coal.
GEN. KELLEY NOT. REPULSED.
, BALTIMORE, July 25.—The Harper's Ferry
correspondent of the Sunday
_Telegram contra
dicts the reported repulse of General Kelley
in an encounter with the rebels recently, and
says:
The fact is that Kelley was hardly at all
injured ; but, on the contrary, seems to have,
by his bolitmovement, with a moderately small
force, actually succeeded in driving the enemy,
or frightening him from the whole neighbor
hood between the Potomac river and Bunker
Hill, and our latest advicea make it almost cot.
tain that he has to-day occupied Martinsburg
with his whole force, almost without, opposi
tion."
There are no rebels in arms north of
Win
chester.
A spirited reconnoissance was made from this
,place (Harper's Ferry) yeeterday, under Gen.
Lockwood.
As far west as the bridge over the Oquequan
creek, only two miles east of Martinsburg,
seventeen mileh from this point, no enemy was
visible, and it was found that the railroad had
not been injured in any respect.'
(1115 N. KNLLIST.
Um. Kelley reports yesterday that he will
occupy Martinsburg to-day. From that fact
we infer that the enemy is moving off towards
Staunton. Our regular dispatches confirm this
idea by Baying that Lee had left Winchester
with his staff_== Wheeting Intelligeneer.
WYTHEVILLE RAIDERS CAPTURED.
LYNCHBURG, July 21, 1863.—Passengers by
the Virginia and Tennessee train report that the
Wytheville Yankee, raiders were captured on

to Gen. Grant that the leading citizens of
Jackson and the surrounding country have
implored him to take some action by, which
Mississippi may be restored - to the Union.—
Both the army and the people of that section
are completely dispirited, and are ready for
peace. They staked their all on Vicksburg,
and it has fallen. They clung to Johnson as a
last hope, and he is utterly vanquished.

rebels.
The city was at once; occupied by . Sherman,

ARMY OP THE POTOMAC.
LEE'S ATTEMPTS TO ENTER EASTERN VIRGINIA
BAFFLED, &C.
• WAsninavon, July 20.—Advices from the
headquarters of the Army of the Potomac re
ceived to-night, say that during the past week
our troops have not been idle, but by a close
scrutiny of Lee's movements, have, by rapid
marches, succeeded in baffling his several at
tempts to enter : Eastern Virginia, and fore
stalled his attempted possession of the . Blue
Ridge.
It is generally helleyel that Lee is now mo
ving rapidly towards Staunion by the Shenan
doah valley. He tried successively Snicker's,
Ashby's, and Manassas Gaps, but found a
strong Union force already there. At the two
last places he was driven back with loss.
At Cheeter Gap our cavalry recaptured 1100
head of cattle `stolen by the enemy, and sev
eral hundred sheep. A llikrge number of horses
have also been recovered. • °
several brisk skirmishes have taken place.
With the exception of cavalry' engagements,
the, principal fight occurred on Thursday even
lug, between Linden and Port Royal, in which
a brigade of rebel infantry (probably ;n's. rear
guard) were driven through the town.
The cavalry have done excellent service.—
The' Beieral oommandit haVe performed arduous
marches:and reconnoissances, and completely
foiled Stuart in all his attempts to raid on our
flank and rear: , •
Moseby's small but energetic band have
alone given us trouble by cutting off foraging
parties .and messengers.

The major general commanding directs me
to acknowledge the receipt of your dispatch,
and to inform you that he engaged the enemy
at this point yesterday. This morning the
enemy appears to have withdrawn, and his
whole army is undoubtedly en route to Cul

his rear has passed the Shenandoah at this
