FROM FoRTREss MONROE.

FORTRESS MONROE, Sept. 7.
The 18th of September has been appoint
ed by JEFF. Davis as day Of fasting and
prayer, by a proclamation given at Rich
mond the 4th instant, inviting the people
of the Confederate States, to assemble for
worship, to tender praise to God for the
triumph at Richmond and Manassas.
The same paper claims the victory of
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays bat
ties, and says Lees headquarters were at
Annandale, eight miles from Alexandria.
The same paper also says 1t is now one
week since our last battles, and the public
has no information of the particulars.
Parties of wounded rebels are arriving
daily at Richmond from Manassas, and have
nowhere to 60 and no one to care for them.
The Richmond Dispatch, of September
4th, calls on the Confederate Congress to
extend the most vigorous measures for ex-
ecuting the conscription act, so as to call
into the field Immediately all able-bodied
men between IS and As, to enable them at
once to push their line of battle into The
heart of the enemy's country.
The flag of truce, in returning, met a
rebel gunboat this side of Harrison $
Landing returning towards Richmond.
About twenty ladies came down from
Richmond going North. -I1-sF ..

FROM NEW ORLEANS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.
New Orleans papers of the Ist report
that an expedition along the coast, under
Colonel Thomas, routed band of gueril-
las, captured l 800 oxen and horses three
guerillas, and other cattle. Three of our
men were wounded and one guerilla killed.
According to a correspondent of Mo
bile paper, writing from Jackson, Miss,
much concern was felt there that the Fed
erals would capture a large wagon train
sent to Hindman. Our cavalry were in
pursuit of it on the Goth ult.
There was some excitement among the
rebels in expectation that the rebel ship
yard on the YazoO River, where several
gunbOats were nearly completed, might be
destroyed.
The steamer Iberville was fired into by
guerrillas about sixty miles above New Or
leans.
Guerrillas had captured two cOasting
schooners.
One old soldier formerly under Andrew
jackson, refused to give up his old musket
and was sentenced to thirty days impris-
onment, but General Butler promptly re-
mitted sentence. l
The German TheAter and adjacent sta
bles were burned on the 31st The Delta
notices the close of the summer, and sta
ting that the health of the city had been
unparalleled, congratulates the citizens
on the total absence of the yellow fever.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept 3.
Correspondence of the MorD ing jour
nal: t 80.
Flag-Officer Dupont reports that there
are no rebel soldiers on the Southern coast
so far as he can discover. The officers OF
the Rhode Island, which has Just arrived
from the South, confirm the general truth
of this statement The infe renee is that
every armed man has been sent to swell
the armies now arming to invade the
North.
Lieutenant J. J. Kittridge, commanding
the squadron blOekading Aransas, has
made report to the Navy Department
of his recent attempt to drive the rebels
from Aransas and Corpus Christi Bayou,
and the vicinity in Texas. He announces
the capture Of the rebel armed vessel
Breaker, and also the destruction Of the
rebel armed schooner Elmer and the sloop
Hannah. The day succeeding the encoun-
ter with these vessels he landed AT Corpus
Christi under flag of truce, and had an
interview with Major Hobby, in command
of the rebels, and Judge Gilpin, Chief JUS
tice Of the country, Of whom he demanded
the evacuation of the town by the military,
adding if they refused it would be neces-
sary to remove the women and children, as
he should open FIRE.
The rebels asked for forty-eight hours in
which to consider the propositions, which
was granted. This time they used in
erecting batteries, from which they fired
upon our vessels. The fire was returned
with spirit, and their batteries soon 81
fenced, but as soon as the firing ceased on
our side they re-opened on us. Firing
was kept up for two or three days, when
the rebels having been scattered by our
fire retreated to the plains Rebel rein
forcements hereafter approaching, and our
ammunition being nearly exhausted it was
deemed best not to pursue our advantage
for the purpose Of repairing the slight
damage done to the vessels, and get sup
ply of ammunition that more vigorous
attack might be made.
Our loss was one killed, and none were
wounded.

A STORY. about General ButIer.


A story Is told of General Butler which
is not calculated to prove his confidence in
the safety Of the secession element BY
which he is surrounded.
Some time ago General Butler, finding
that it was almost impossible for him to de-
vote to his wife the cares to which she is
entitled, resolved to part with her and send
her homeward. The day of departure ar
rived, and be went with his wife and his
children to the boat on which they were to
embark. Unfortunately the water was
high, and the boat of difficult access. The
plank thrown upon the water between
the deck and the shore formed an acute
angle, and Blondin himself would have
found it difficult to maintain his eqlIilib-
rum upon it. But General Butler, conf
dent that his center Of gravity was sufi-
ciently ponderous to secure him against
all accidents, ventured bravely upon the
sleepy road Hardly had he walked two
steps, however, than his feet glided along,
and down he went measuring the plank
with all his length, and producing at the
same time a noise somewhat similar to
that Of an old kettle His servants ran to
his assistance and he was soon on his feet
again.
When it had been aseertained that the
General was unhurt, inquiries were made
concerning the sound of metal heard at
the time of his fall. It was not long be-
fore the mystery was solved. The clothes
Of the General having been torn in his per-
ilOus descent, people saw, protruding IN
derneath his coat, one large breastplate
reaching from his neck down to his thighs.
This was the object which had produced
the noise It was ascertained afterwards
that the General wears this kind of armor
since his arrival in New Orleans, and that
he never goes out without it.

Tie nroremenrs Of Troops.

The Washington National Republican,
Of Monday morning, says:
"During the last two days, large bodies
Of troops have been on the move in vari-
Gus directions. We cannot say how large.
We shall not be surprised to hear of a
heavy battle in 8 few days, and we think
it viii be decisive one. But we will not
speculate"
The National Intelligeneer also pub
fishes the following in its local columns ::
LAST Saturday night seemed to be a
gala night among our troops, especially
among the new leyies, who, having orders
to march, were enthusiastic as they pro-
eeeded through the streets, making the
night all resound with their cheers. Later
in the night came the solid, heavy tread Of
the veteran corps dTmee under Franklin,
followed closely by the respective corps Of
Sumner and Hooker, Qate McDowelrs.) }
They were less jubilant, but undaunted.
We noticed in General McCall's Division
Of Reserves, no doubt the result Of heavy
marching and fatigue duty, many Of the
brave fellows tagged out and worn down.
