Southern papers received al Baltimore state that
on Tuesday the Union runboats were moving up as
If to engage the Rebel c'ics near Charleston, but
(ofcourse that Gen. Gist was confident OF his ahii'y
to drive them back. On Wednesday the Union
forces 1000 strong, had not been driven back, but
had landed on James Island at the very threshold OF
the city, There was battle, and The enemy Union
ists) had been repulsed and 20 of them captured.
Another Dispatch dated on the afternoon OF the
same day, says that the enemy tonioniSts' were
700 strong on Battery and John Islands, aud an az
vance YVES imminent. Nothing was said about ten.
Giste ability TO resist that imminent advance II Is

Our forces in pursuit Of BeauTesard's army are

Kentucky, and Arkansas. All the regiments from
those States passed down the railroad closely
guarded by more Southern troops. The country
people believe Beauregard will not bring mic

families in state of Starvation while the soldiers
themselves almost destitute OF food.
BY the steamer Gnide from Newbern. n. C.
we learn that Gov. Stsnly is riding an exceedingly
high horse, and disgusting not only civilians but
military men with his deepo,ism. Tho house in
which he had the negro girl hunted down for the
whip Of her master has been burned. Stanly sent
orders to the HarborMasir to search all vessels FOR
runaway slaves, but the Harbor-Master sent him
word that he would see him (Sanly) - before he
would obey such an order. S;anly is decidedly in
bad odor.
--Iu our Weshiiton dispatches will he found
some facts worth knowing about the vote subsst-
ing our armies from the gransies of redhanded Eeb
Ella. II seems that the Democratic love OF treason
was strong enough to impel nearly every mem
Der OF that extinc, party to vote against quarter
ing on the enemy. Ye; these men will swear that
Democrats do al the fighting and bear all the bur.
deus of the war. The Yeas and Nays recorded
within the past fortnight will be stumbng-block tC

We are permitted 10 know, by an Official dis
patch from Gen. McClcllans headquarters, the i'm
portant news that a contrabaud who left R.chm0u,
yesterday morning had arrived in our peoples camp

Our latest Washington dispatch records the ar-
rival of Major Stone OF the Sd Iowa, and TWO ether
officers, from the Rebel prison at Selma, Alabama.

Prentiss capture or surrender al Corinth, which put
quite different light upon the matter.
JEFF. Davis Adjutant- General publishes gen.
era order directing the drafting of every male white
aud mulatto in the South capable Of bearing arms
whether they have substitutes or not. Rather
heavy conscription-much severer than Napoleon
ever ventured upon.
JEFF. Davis is still overlooking with piety. With
his traitorous hands red with the blood Of his poor
dupes, he peus mpudent lie about the late battle
before Richmond, winding up with befatbery bless
ing: Defenders of a just cause, may God have
you in His holy keeping"
The fate Of Mobile is foreshadowed by a dispatch
