DEATH OF GEORGE SU3INEIL—George Stiruner, brother of Senator Suinner, died in Boston on Tuesdparalysis. The Boston Transcript says of him : - "Mr. Sumner was one of the Most ac-i copplishea men of the time. He ,wes iiot . only . familiar with many languages and many literatures, but in the course, 'of long. residence abroad had explored ' almost every part of Europe, and made, the acquaiutance of the most prominent • ,European statesmen publicists and wed, of letters: ' Tfie in formation lie had de: `lived &Om books was but a small part of the treasures of knowledge which his oh: sarving eye and retentive memory had stored up in his own mind. He knew things from psrsonal intercourse, and it, was hardly possible to touch, in conver r station, on any subject ccnnectedwith the manners, customs, localities, scenery, or public men of European countries, ;that his personal recollections and e„kpert'ence did net throw light on the subject, how Over remote it might be froth ordinary . lines of study," It is now hoped ilia; the issue of frac tional currency to replace the postal cur-' retie . ) , will commence in ten days or a fort =l night. The utmost efforts are =lcier , to eXpediate matters,thb work of pimparation proceeding night and day. .Between forty - add fifty h ydraulic presses are *but only a few are as yet in use. It is. expected that when the arrangements are perfected the amount produced daily will; not be far ' .from $150,000. The vignette on the face ',of the new, enrrency is the same in design :• for all denominations. It represents a medallion head of Wrshingtou in a faint metallic ring; behind it extends a land. • lope in which the steamboat, locoinotive, &0., are introduced.. Each denomination is printed in a different color. Fives are wopd color, tens green, twenty-fives pufr r. and fifties bright carmine. In• general appoarance the new currency is a decided improvement on the old.

The Bible In the Army An agent ; in the American Bible Soci ety 'of Ohio gives the following statement illustrating the love of the Bible enter tained by the soldiers in our army : hav i e also accomplished, I trust, some gond 19 1 the, distribution 'of Testaments - among - the soldiers, three hundred of tvbom I supplied during the present month.! It is worihy of note that the regiment to which these three hundred belong was supplied bv myself in .the Slimmer, as fast as I could procure books te, supply them; and that in conversation ;with chaplain the other day, he remark ed to 'me that in all his regiment, and many other regitnents.also visited by him, he had never found a single instance which the books were abused. Said be with emphasis, "Our soldiers prize those Testaments you gave us beyond all com iputation." "I have known soldiers," lie said, "who, when obliged to leave their Pocket weaponf, wOulccgoback after their Testaments rather than he without them ; and in, repeated instances in the hospital have, I known them to lift their emacia• t i ed hands in token of their desire that I' should,seat myself beside them and read from their Testamens, 'when they were too weak to peruse thew themselves. Yoh Deed have no fear that they will be nea lected. They are prized and read by our s soldiers." •°I Want to be an Angel?' Mrs. Elizabeth Comstock, a missionary among the poor of London, has for some time been laboring as nurse and Christian Asitor in the army. • She has recently visited over 32,000 sick and wounded soldier's.. Once, she says, when having a ineetiiig in a hospital where 30k1 or 400 lay, vie sang the hyrou,l"l want to be an A little girl had sent the book contain ing it, by me to her father in the army, and requested me to tell her father that his little girl wanted to be an angel.- 1 More;than one half burSt into tears when ,they heard the song. It seemed to take them home. A majority of them, as I learned,were familiar with the little hymn. saw in the army a pocir boy, 1,000 miles from home, just dying I laid my band tendirly on his head; and ho mistook me for his own dear mother. He said feebly, "Mother,.l knew you would come. Moth er, I cm going to Jesus." MI Who Is .RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAR ? Senator DOUGLAS, in the last speech he ever made : "Bask you to reflect,and then point out any dot that has been done, any one duty that has been omitted to done, of which any one of these disunknists can justly complain. Yet we are told, simply be cause one party has succeeded in a Pres idential election, therefore they choose to consider that their liberties are not safe, and -- iterefore will break up the Govern ment." ALEX. STEVENS, the Vice Presi. dent of the Southern, Confederacy, said when the question of secession was pen& ing before the people of Georaia : "What right has the North assailed? what justice has been ,denied ? and what claim founded in justice 0.1141 right has been withheld'? Can I I I either of you, to day, name one single act of wrong, delib: crawly and purposely done by the' Gov-, ernment Washington, of which the South has a right to complain ? I chal lenge the answer :" - c , IT WAS oLATErtv• that caused the pres ent war: but it was not merely the slavery of Southern negroes. To a very great extent it was the slavery of Northern white men—the slavery of prejudice, of ignorance, and of blind partisanship. The warlfor the • Union has emancipated the Southern slaves. To completely fulfill its mission, it must likewise emancipate the political serfs of the North. The lat ter species of servitude is quite as degrad ing as the former, and quite as dangerous to the integrity of the Union. Until the spirit of faction is eradicated, and more liberal views take the place of the stale political anhcrisrms, to wihch ignorance and' prejudice too long have pinned their faith, the people will never be truly free'„ and if the people theraselves are not free, how can they expect al free Governinclit to endure ? There must be emancipation in the North as well as in the South, or the struggle between light and darkness, truth and error, freedom and slavery, will be an eternal one. "Nearer 'to TLee."• The following incident was related at a recent Sunday-School Convention :—At tbo battle of Fort Dotielson a youth was wounded, and left by his comrades who pressed on in the battle. "When they returned, they found him resting against a tree, dead, with a bOok of hymns open in his hand at this hymn : "Nearer my God to thee." It is stated that Lie' ell, of the 11th Reg' been ordered to repor , tiring Board, on aeon loss of his - voice. He in Illinois. Lieut. B membered as the man! son, the murderer of Alexandria. The. Rebel Govertkm one of its organs, to stil kee armies "as by the canc." — Wo guess it till it canraise the wit Qui latest advises ft fort4that. therp vvt4 army and navy attack a 1 11th inst. The. Battle In Georgiat The Array of the Cumberland has been repulsed but the enemy have won no vic tory.' The distinction is important. Gen. Rosenerans failed it his attempt, but Gen. Bragg's purpose 'is also unfulfilled. That brilliant strategy which, without battle, recovered East Tennessee, had an ulterior object- - - , -nohing less than the subjuga tion of the Gulf States. Thus, the mo ment that Chatanooga was obtained, Gen. Rosencrans marched into Georgia, forcing the enemy into immediate opposition, pre cisely as the Army of the Potomac was compelled to give battle 'when Pennsyl vania was invaded by Lee. . Had the enemy refused battle, Georgia and Ala bama- would have been ours, and the re- hellion ectually imprisoned , in Virginia and South Carolina. Bragg, - therefore, had• no Choice but between instant battle or immediate ruin. He gave battle, and the fate of the whole Confederacy de pended on the issue ; for, had Rosencrans triumphintly succeeded, where would the rebellion have been,driven ? Such a blow would have been mortal to the infa mous conspiracy; it could not have sur vived three months. , But the blow has been parried—Ros encrans repulsed. A great army,strength. ened by reinforcements from every source, confronted him ; all the available - poier of the South was concentrated for the defence of Georgia. - The greatness of the danger demanded greatness in the de , fender, and those able men who control the armies of the rebellion exhausted . their energies in making this tremendous fight. Every regiment that could be wrung from the people by conscription, or formed by voluoteerinc , ., or spared from the battle-worn troops of Beauregard and, Lee, was sent to Bragg. At Chattanooga the rebellion fought for self-preservation, and the rulers at Richmond- may well be proud of their own energy, and thankful to the fierce courage of their armies, that Georgia and Alabama are a not wrested from them, that the end is again post- poned. It is only postponed. Bragg's second 'object, the utter defeat of Gn. Rosen crans by numerical superiority, with the recovery of East Tennessee, and the:res toration of the old situation, is not at tained, nor likely to be. His own dis patch confesses that Rosencrans still con fronts him. Invasion he prevented, but the invader is only baffled. Gen. Rosen crans' purpose is defeated, but his army is not. The tremendous attacks upon Gen. Thomas, who bore the brunt of the two-days battle, failed to shake the cour age of our troops, or to*regain one inch of the territory we have won. Rosencrans, still confronting Bragg, still fighting him, inflicting.terribie injury on his army in every savage fight, slowly falls back and concentrates on Chlttenoo ga. We do not believe he will be driven thence, and until he is driven, Getirgia is still threatened, and the rebellion his simply succeeded in baffling his first at , tack. Thus, while we deeply regret the failure of this grand attempt, we know that the failure is not half so imporfalit to us, as their success is to the rebels. Our stake was little compared to theirs. The very life - of the Confederacy was risked in this cattle, but we have lost iaothing but time. There is no reason for loyal hearts to be discouraged ; so much has been won in the West, that a repulse can be cheerfully and hopefully sustained. The campai.n is not aban doned, and the Army or the Cumberland is ready and able to maintain its position in East Tennessee. But it will have to be heavily reinforced before it can ;gain attempt the conquest of the remaining Gulf States. As we drive the enemy to wards his centre, wo enable him to'unite and concentrate his armies, and this fact explains how Rosencrans was outnum bered. Concentration gives to the rebel lion temporary advantage, but the vast superiority of the North cannot be long resisted. General Rosencrans has sus tained the heaviest blow the South could I deal, and in this proof of the national strength less exultation will be felt, by the rebels than disappointment! If this is all they can do[ against Rosencrans, how will they meet Rosencrans and Burnside and Grant in the compined advance, which is inevitable ? It is not strange that the Richmond Whig, should be des pondent In this great battle the rebel lion hes tried its full strengli, and may well be disappointed by the result.— Press. • It seems that the Rebel loss at Chick amauga was Thirty Thousand—double that of the Unionists. Lee's beat men were taken 500 miles by rail to aid Bragg in a bard blow,. which has failed, and the Rebels feel worse than we do - about the matter. They hoped so, much—they lost what they sought. Gen. Burnside, Advancing -along the East Tennessee and Virginia Railroad on Saturday, overtook the Rebel force under Mudwall Jackso A n and Gen. Williams, at Blue Springs. The - enemy were in a strong position, and a sharp-engagement ensued, when at sundown they were dr i ven from the field, but darkness ren dered immediate pursuit impossible. The next morning the Rebels continued their retreat on the Greenville Road with our force in pursuit; Our loss was some 60 killed and wounded. Ut.

MM., 5ept.19,1.863: [The following are ettracti from apri vote letter of a "Potter boy" in_thenth Wisconsin : Left Knoxville 24th August. .At Cai-, do met lots! of Officers returnin g' t o- the Regiment in time for muster Aug ust 31, so had company and a good time doming down the river. The guerrillas that Iso much dreaded did not fire a shot or make any demonstration on the trip. - .At Mem phis we got aboard of the steamboat. Gen. Grant and Adj't-Gen. Thomas were on board, Eo had a good view of them. I had often seen Grant at a distance, but his appearance at close sight and witlicut' uniform is not as good as I had supposed. He is not tall, and moderate in expression and manner. Thomas is tall, six feet two inches, old and gray-headed. , Had a fen; hours at Vicksburg. This is a larger village than I had thought, lit . has 10,000 inhabitants or more. The houses are built close to the river, and extend in solid brick blocks up the. side of the hill. It is not a beautiful place, and after ris ing the bluff the land is_more uneven than I supposed. Ravines traverse it in every direction. , Some families lived in caves during the siege, while others' re mained in their houses except during very severe fire. The upper part of the town is considerably damaged by shot, the lower part less; but none of it so much injured as I expected. Almost: every building shows marks of shot from a 13 inch shell to a musket ball,- bUt they ap pear to be ouly "holes in the wall'.' that a mason can soon repair.. Why bursting shell did not: tear them all to:pieces, I can not tell. Some fires occurred, it is true. Remove the rebel batteries and rifle• Pits in the streets and you have a city ready for business. Very few citizens were hurt l uring the siege that I could hear of. Landed at Natchez Sunday morning, August 30th. "Natchez under the hill" is much smaller now than formerly, hav ing been destroyed by a tornado and • the washing of the river within a few years. A' few Irish residebces and some whole sale grocery buildings, &c., is all that re main. Up the bill on a good road one half mile and "Natchez on the hill" is a nice city of about 20,000 inhabitants, (formerly) on nearly level ground; with nicely built brick buildiugs, dry goods stores, cotton warehouses, &c. but par.' ticularly fine are the surrounding resi dences. Southerners excel the North in spacious and costly dwelliog houses, and, the North excel in all ,public business buildings. Our Re g iment is camped two wiles from the landin& east. Lots of, shade about here, but ihe 'past week or more has been very hot. Mustered Aug. 31st, and I am all right on the rolls. .Sept. 1. Started on an expedition against a Fort at Harrisonburg, La. where the Ram "Queen of the West" was sunk by the Rebels; went via. Trinity. It is dead level bottom land on the Louisiana side and is overflowed yearly. Lake Con cordia we passed at five miles, and is the only clear and beautiful water I have seen south of Memphis. Were ferried over "Cross Bayou, " seventeen miles, in is ferry boat run by hand on a rope, rather a tedious operation for two Brigades with ten' days rations, two Batteries and a Reg iment of Cavalry, &a. At Trinity, 2S • wiles, we found our pontoon train was not long enough to cross Black River, so constructed platiorms big enoughl to carry wagon and team and paddled them over. ) Trinity contains about 500 folks, and as all are living quietly and made no resis tance to our occupation they were unmo lested. Sixteen miles more brought us to Harrisonburg. But at twelve miles , come to junction of Alexandia road,when by marching in the night and very fast] we arrived in time to just head off a rebel force of 2500 to 4000 enroute to reinforce, 'Harrisonburg. We expected a fight with 'I them and for several hours were , in line or-battle, while , cavalry skirmished and, reconnoitred, but could not bring them torfight though the rebel force was larger, than ours. W 3 hastened to the fort,l which the rebels, failing to receive theirl reinforcements had blown up as much as possible and skedaddled double quick., The fort was the finest work I-have ever , seen, or any ono in our command. No-, thing but extreme cowardice could induce its abandonment. It was very expensive, and complete. Had some heavy , case., mated siege guns bearing on the river that no gun boat could have taken. 'Twat' here the "Queen of the West" was sunk. But five families remained. in Harrison burg—some the rebs drove off—some fled at our approach. Formerly contained fifty or more families. Lots of the houses were burned by somebody; niggers and soldiers I 'sposa. We gobled all the darkies,mules r horses, melons, chickens, &0., theeonntry afforded and -completing the destruction of the fort and guns, immediately return ed to camp. Marched 100 miles in six, and a half days. The rebels bow. hold nothing in Louisiana north or east of Red river and guess they'seon will:be out of, Arkansas. It was very hot weather part of the time we were out and continues yet. Saw several alligators in their "native waters," also all sorts of big swap fowls: Considerable cotton' is growing; first I've seen this year. Corn is ripe. No rice or sugar, or not much..
