The Doomed City.

Our dispatches this morning give informa-
ton, from rebel sources, that the great expo
dition has attacked Charleston. If this is
true, we may look confidently for its capture,
as we have good reason to believe the attack
would not be made unless there was every
prospect of success. Nothing would have so
salutary an effect on the rebels as the hum
bling of this proud but treason-breed'ng city.
F We have received a private letter
from gentleman of St. Louis, formerly a
resident of this city, which says the senti-
ment of the people of that city regarding
Fremont is not truly represented by the Dem
ocrat, and other newspapers of its Glass;
The rascality of Fremonts retainers is too
well known there, and where one Union man
may be found to oppose his removal, there
are twenty in favor of it. He assures us
that when we see Col. Mulligan's report OF
the Lexington affair we will be astonished.-
The excuse of lack of transportation was all
CANNON. The contract business will show
for itself when the time comes. We make a
single extract from the letter:
"What did these California spectators
come here for, and open an Office, with = large
warehouse attached, if they did not have
some kind of guarantee? I saw with my
own eyes going on board of steamboats,, sacks
of oats which did not contain one bushel-
hay, the most miserable stuff you ever saw
They would buy it on the lcvee, delivered al
$l2 and Sl3, and turn it over to the Govern
ment at SIT 5O-not on any contract, but OF
q simple order. The City Engineer told me
that the contract for building the forts wa;
100 per cent. above what he could have done
it for"
There is no doubt in our mind of gros.
mismaragement, if not criminality, in tht
affairs of the Western Department. The fac
that frauds exist elsewhere is no reasonable
excuse for Fremont. We h,pe all frauds O.
this nature will be fe-reted out, and then
perpetrators punished. 1t is intimated by
Fremont's friends that he will demand ;
Court of Inquiry. We hope so. If he i:
innocent the fact will thereby appear

one Of the most bloody and terrific that has
ever been fought on this continent, with the

No soldiers ever fought harder or better than
did ours on that occasion.
Our total loss in that affair will not exceed
three hundred while the rebels acknowledge
loss of over five hundred.

may say, we will not submit to the middle men in
