PoRT ROYAL HARBoR, June Is, 1858.
SIR have the honor to report to the De-
partment that on the night of the 9th inst, a
steamer attempted to run out of Charleston.
She was turned back by the Wissahickon,
which vessel pursued her over the bar, firing
at her repeatedly. The steamer was sunk.
From subsequent information from two
deserters from Charleston, whom send North
by the Massachusetts,, there is reason to be-
lieve the vessel was the Isaac Smith.
Gu the night of the 18th inst, another
steamer attempted to run the blockade at
Charleston, by the Sanford channel. She
was fired at by several Of the vessels but in
the darkness eluded them.
On the next morning at daylight she was
discovered at the north end of Folly Island,
on fire. which, however, did not destroy the
vessel. She was large side-wheel steamer,
and is supposed by Commodore Turner to be
the Havclock, but this is not certainly ascer-
tanned.

Wool Growers Convention in Michigan

The following resolutions were pass ed at the
Wool Growers Convention, held at Jonesville,
Hillsdale county, Michigan, on the 18th inst:-
ReSotved, that the present high state of cotton
anG the scarcity of woodland the inc eased demand
consequent on the present war, preclude the posi-
sibility of fall and must of necessity greatly in-
o. ease the demand for wool
ReSolUed, That the high rate of exchange, with
the present tariff on wool, precludes the posslbis
ity of supplying the market at less price than
seventy>five cents.
Resolved That at the present abundant supp Jy
of money which can be obtained at low rates OF
interest, we will hold our clip until we obtain
a reasonable price when compared with the prices
we are compelled to pay for all commodities of
general use.
ReS0lUed That we will hold our clip at seven
ty-ive cents, unless the things materially change
from the present condition Of ttilngs.
Concerning the character OF the Convention the
Jonesville IudependeMt says:
The Convention was large and respectable
one, the Hall being crowded with farmers and
though many were unaole 20 obtain seats and left
before the proceedings were terminated, there
were attached TO the resolutions the names OF
growers representing over 900 heeceso 60 900
pounds of wool Beside each town of this county
being represented, there were delegates from four
other counties 1t is said the farmers generally
in this section of the State have expressed their
intention of abiding by the action of the Conven>
ton.

THE BLUFF GAME.-The Milwaukee NesoS
following the lead of its great exemplar, the
Chicago Times, calls the late letter of President
Lincoln in reply to the Albany resolutions,
''crude tumble of sophisms," an ''evasion and
shifting of the real issues involved" ''sidc
pleading" and all that sort of thing. Had the
Nea7S taken up one point made by the Presi-
dent in that letter, and disproved either the
soundness of the reasoning, or the conclusion
arrived at, it would have better served his
purpose, This game of "Bluff'' has been 50
long in use by the Democracy, that it has lost
all the prestige it ever did have Everybody
has come to see that it is very easy call the
soundest and closest reasoning. "a crude
tumble of sophism," &C., while it would be
impossible to prove it SO. This letter of the
President is the most elaborate concise and
convincing statement of the merits of the
question that has ever been written. And the
rebel-sympathizing Democracy find it SO inn
possible deny or invalidate any single propo-
sition there laid down, and concluding in this
case, that discretion is the better part of valor
ave wisely declined to enter the lists, and
content themselves with calling names and
denying the conclusions generally. The News
pitches into everybody who is willing to adj
init the cogency of the Presidents reasoning
and the correctness of his promises. 1t says,
'it is disgusting servility that is disgrace to
the American name,a burning shame on eth
er the intelligence or the sincerity of the Re
publican press" and much more of the same
sort. Now, would it not have been more
worthy ''the American name," more credit
to 1.-The intelligence and sincerity" of the ed
itor of the Ne,oS if he mad pointed out one false
conclusion in that reasoning, or one false pre-
mise, one specimen of sophistry?
If that letter is bundle of sophisms," the
editor of the News can show us the evidence
of it. viii he do it Of course not Will he
show us wherein it is an ''evasion and shifting
of the real issues involved p Of course not.

A STRONG ENDORSEMENT since this
rebellion was causelessly inaugurated by the
southern shareholders, certain class of Peace
Democrats have exhausted the vocabulary of
explosives in trying to feebly express their
admiration of the rebels, and their entire ap-
prevail of the rebel course. Such Democrats
have never a word of admiration for our own
troops, The men who are fighting for the
preservation of the Government these Peace
Democrats are living under, so far from clio
iting a word of commentator may think
themselves fortunate if they are called no
worse names than the ''minions of the Lin
coin despotism." A late number of the Mil
waukee NewS treats it's rerders to the follow
ing eulogium on the rebelsin arms for the de-
struction of this Government:
''History has furnished no other example of
such stubborn resistance to such fearful pow
er as was brought to bear against them. No
annals record the advance of over million
such soldiers as thenorth has produced, check
ed, and held in check, by poorly fed poorly
clad and poorly equipped insurrectionists.-
History has yet to record the astonishing
truth of twenty millions of Anglo Saxon peo-
Pile kept at bay by not one half that number.
Everywhere they have met us with bold
ness worthy of nobler cause, and everywhere
they have proven the powers of men fearful
ly in earnest. For two years they nave run
the gauntlet, and still they are full of vigor
and full of determination to continue the
dreadful conflict They have defied and beat
en- us on the Rappahannock, as ten thousand
premature graves will attest. they have OPP
posed front that is yet unbroken to our he
roes of the west, and they still hold their main
positions m the Atlantic coast
