Che Fight OIL The Upper Potomac.

The telegraph has informed us briefly of an at
tack made by the rebels upon ourur loops at dam
No ). Oh the Upper Potomac, OF which we have
now fuller accounts by mail. The first attack was
made on Saturday afteraoon, the 9TH inst, by a
force o. 700 infantry, 90 cavalry and six pieces OF
artiI cry on the Virginia shore, who commenced
throwing shot at the dam and houses on the NJ a
ryland shore, burning barn and Kidding all the
houses within range. They continued to fire un-
til dusk The only Union forces there to oppose
the rebels were Company of the Massachusetts
Thirteenth Regiment ON picket duty, aud an I'M
armed Regiment from Illinois. AS the Massachu
sets Company was armed with the smooth bore
muskets their fire was not effective at that dls-
lance.
Early on Sunday morning the rebels resumed
their fire with artillery and small arms. ald, EN-
boldened by the slight resistance they met with on
Saturday they came down to the very brink OF the
river and exposed themselves without fear. Du-
ring the night Col Leonard had dispatched, by ca
nal boat from Wiliamsport, another company OF
his regiment armed with Enheld rifles. This force
was concealed sk1mlshers on the Maryland
shore On the renewal of the attack on Sunday,
the rifemen opened fire from their concealment,
and in short time the rebel artlllerists were com
pelled to abandon their battery in hot haste. the
infantry and cavalry leaving the ground about the
same time The rebel loss is believed to have been
fifteen or twenty killed and wounded For want
of sufficient infantry folce and battery to pro
tect their movements, Col Leonard was compel
ed 10 let the rebel guns remain III positions ana al
ter nightfa the rebels returned and took them OFT
The rebel battery consisted of three Parrott To-
Founders one l2.pOundGr carrying the Sawyer
she'll and two smOOth-bore b-pounders Some OF
the infantry were AIMED with improved long range
rifles TINS force came from Bath-the cavalry
by the country rOads-and the battery by railroad
from Martius6urgh. They were probably en- route
to Winchester or Harper's Ferry, and stopped al
that place to destroy the dam, and thus impede
canal transportation

slave EusuFrectfOn,

The telegraph brings accounts ola formidable
conspiracy among the slaves in Charleston, for
an armed insurrection. Accounts state that
the plot was disclosed by a body servant of a
military officer. It seems that the ball was to
be started by the negroes of the city when they
would be joined by large bands from the coun-
try. slave instruction at the South, under
present circumstances, is one of the most likely
occurrences to be expected i'll connection with
the rebellion. The slaves may yet take adj
vantage of the times and vista terrible retribu-
ton upon their masters, and take terrible ven
geance for whole century's oppression.
We can imagine the CONSERVATION and fright
that must have prevailed when the plot was dis
closed. But small quantity of arms were dis
covered, buried under the floors of some of the
negro cabins. They consisted principally Of
hatchets and knives. The knowledge that such
an element is in the midst of community, ready
at any time to be let loose, adds but little to the
sense of the security that such community feels
in times like these.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.--1he excitement
which was first caused by the somewhat bellig'
Grant tone Of the European news, is rapidly
with England can easily be avoided without
dishonor. The Pres ident, it is known, is strong
" opposed to the adoption of a warlike policy
against any foreign power under the present
circumstances of the country. The Europa's
dispatches seem not to disturb the Government,
which, Notwithstanding the belIigerent aspect
assumed, shows no disposition on the part of
any member of the Cabinet to alter the plans or
the policy of the Government assumed in the
arrest of Mason and Sidell. The report of the
demand of the English Government for the sur
render of Mason aud Sidel caused universal
sentiment of defiance.
Il is regarded as settled that Congress will
adjourn on Thursday for Two weeks, to enable
the members to pass the holidays At home. No

The Burning of Charleston.

We publish quite full account of the terri
bic conhagraton that has lately occurred at
Charleston, S. c. 1t was thought at first, that
the fire was the result of incendarism or the
work of insurrectionary slaves, but later &C
counts seem to indicate that it was purely acct
dental. The wind was blowing at the time and
owing to the fright and CONSERVATION, of many,
under the suppostion that it was the work OF
slaves for awhile paralyzed every arm, and the
flames had soon gained such a mastery, that it
was impossible to check them as long as the
buildings that fed them held out.
CONGRESS. body, without accomplish
ing any great amount of business has finally adj
journed for two weeks, for the Holidays. 1t
seems to be yet rather problematic, whether
anything will be done to give greater impulse
to the war. The Kentucky and some West
Virginia members take the proposition to eman-
cipate the slaves of rebels, very hard, and talk
long and loud against any and every measure
looking to an interference with the institution
in any respect. They think We should put
down the rebellion without interfering with
slaves ANY further than to return such as escape,
whether claimed by rebels or loyal men.

The Fort PickenS Fight.

New York, Dec 13.-A letter from Key
West OF the 9th inst, states that their Pensa-
cola dates are of the Goth ult.
1t appears that the rebel steamers had been
plying between the Navy Yard and town, con-
stantly carrying guns, munitions. etc. Colonel
Brown notified Bragg, that he should fire into
them, to which Bragg replied, Sire away. =
On the morning of the 2lst, the steamers again
appeared. Cot Brown disabled one, and the
other escaped general cannOnade then took
place between Fort Pickens and Fort Barrant as,
the Niagara and Richmond opening on Fort Nc
Rae and several water batteries. The engage
ment lasted nearly two whole days. Fort Nc
Rae Mas sileneed, and also the water batteries
within reach of the Richmond's guns. No per-
sons were injured on board the Niagara. James
Cook was the person killed on the Richmond.
| Both vessels were slightly damaged III their up
per works Pickens had not even a Sandbag
displaced by the Barrancas's fire. On the 24th,
while removeng a fuse from shell, it exploded,
killing five men and wounding many others
Col. Brown says he has Fort Barrancas COM
pletely at his mercy, and il awaiting reinforce

Another letter stales that one Of Wilson's
Zouaves was killed and another wounded on
the 22d. About $500 guns were fired in the
two days. At 3 p NJ. Of the 23d, Warrington
was set on fire by our guns and that place and
nearly ali the Navy Yard was des royed. The

shot The rebel fire slackened on the second
day. Two companies ofWilson's Zouaves have
