ONE CHARGE MORE.
A rebel correspondent Of the Rich.
mond Dispatch, in giving an account
Of the Bethel affair, speaks Of Winthrop
as follows:
One company Of the New York Sew
enth Regiment, under Capt Winthrop,
attempted to take the redoubt on the
left. The marsh they crossed was
strewn with their bodies. Their cup-
tain, fue,looking man, reached the
fence, and, leaping on a log, waved his
sword, crying, Come on, boys; one
charge more, and the day is ours. -
These words were his last, for a Carroll
na rife ended his life the next moment,
and his men fed in terror back.
No MORE Troops FROM New YORK
At Present. The following is a copy
Of a dispatch which Governor Morgan
has received from Secretary Seward
1t speaks for itself
Ellis Ezcellency f. D. Morgan:.-
You tell me that you sent eight regi-
ments last week, that you have dispatch.
ed eight regiments this week, and You
promise to send eight more next week.
You ask whether we will receive more
from New York, and how many. All
tongues here are eloquent in thanks to
New York, and in the praise of her
Governor, worthy successor Of Tomp-
kins, Governor in 1872. These rcgi-
ments, added to those which were be-
fore received, make the quota Of New
York now in the field $4,000 men We
think we have enough; butif there
should prove to be a deficiency wo all
know now where to look to have it
promptly supplied

ATTExPr TO BLOW UP TRAIN WITH KEG
or PowDER.-A correspondent of the Missouri
Democrat writes from ROlla, Aug. % An at
tempt was made this afternoon to blow up the
train due here at 80. The train had reached
q point eight miles from here and two miles be-
yond Dilton, when loud explosion was heard,
which was supposed by the passengers to be
the discharge of q cannon by some Of the seces-
sionists. 1t was ascertained that a keg of DOW
der had exploded beneath the engine The dirt
was thrown up in clouds, and covered the floor
Of the engine, and the roof exhibits the effects
Of the pebbles thrown against it. The engineer,
Benjamin Smith, was thrown off his seat by the
conclusion, and had his wrist injured slightly
by an iron screw driven upwards from the foor
Of the engine. The powder was contained in a
comman nail keg, buried between the rails, and
1t Is supposed that fuse extended from it TO the
track The escape Of the passengers is consid-
cred providential, as there Is no question that

act intended to effect q wholesale daughter of
all on board. The train moved back to the
scene OF the explosion, when Ii was ascertained
from woman that eight men were seen by her
on the spot half hour or so previous. The
rebels could be heard talking, by some of the
passengers, in the bushes, and after the train
started, man was seen TO come out from his
hiding place and take q survey Of his nefarious

the passengers are nearly two feet long.
