II The CoLoEEp rso1DtEhs CAPTURED
BEFORE CHARLEsToN.-The editor of the
SavannaheRepubhcaawrote from Charles
ton on the 10th UT, as follows: '--'-''':
have Omitted toistata in previous let
ters that the captured negroes, who were
turned over to the State by the military
authorities q few weeks ago, were brought
up FOR trial under the laws of South Car
olina on Monday Oh motion of counsel
on either side the cases were postponed
until next Tuesday week. Able counsel
have been assigned the prisoners, and 9TH
er steps taken to secure them fair and
impartial trial. Public sentiment here is
against rigid execution Of the law, and
l shall not be surprised if plea in de-
fense that they were acting not of their
free will, but under compulsion, should
avail in securing verdict of acquittal.

Our Position is Simply This.

1--WE are suncon npromisingly committed
against Emancipation and therefore can
not vote for, oriadvocate, the election of
anf man to Office who favors it. We are
a Union man from the core of our heart
to- the surface of our skin aud from the
crown Of our head to the soles of our feet.
We regard the action of the Union State
Central Committee as binding upon every
man in Maryland who, claims to be true
Union man. 1n pursuance of the recon-
mendaton of that Committee, State
Convention was held in the City of Balti-
more, to nominate Union Candidate for
the office Of Comptroller, Samuel s. Maffit
was nominated for that place, almost by
acclamats6h, and 1--WE NOW maintain that
NO man is good Union man who refuses
ti vote FOR MI. Maffit. Mr.. Mafiit it must
beIB9rle inMind,.i il lhe regular Union
nominee for Compfrollcr Of the Treasury,
and the candidate in any County of the
State who win notlvote for him, is him
self undeserving OF, the support of Union
men. y Surely such candidates for office as
refuse 70 vote for Mr.. NIafit,, should not
complain if the friends of Mr.. Mafft do
not vpte for theaM OF course they should
be willing to accord to others the same
right they claim for themselves.
Our posciou thenNis sim ply 'this-op-
position to those who. are in favor of
Emancipation, and opposition to those
who witlraiot7 support Mr. Mafit, the

this Convention to do, but they did not

resentatives, where such arrant political
knaves as Owen Lovejoy, Thaddeus Ste

conpanied by Gen. Bragg and staff, visited
the battle field yesterday. Last night he was
serenaded by several bands, and in response
to loud calls made a short speech, compli-
menting Gen. Bragg in the highest terms.
He said that Notwithstanding the shafts Of
malice that had been hurled at him. he had
bravely borne it all. and the bloody field Of
Chickamanga plainly stamps him as a militia.

IS Siege. Isl.
Our batteries have kept np their usual FIRE
for the past two days on Batteries Gregg and
Wagner, the enemy still making no response.
"a large force Of Yankees were seen at work
SUNDAY afternoon on a battery East Of Gregg.
and ! sharp FIRE opened upon them. It il be-
loved, from Reconnaissance and close OBJ
servations with good glasses, that the enemy's
batteries are nearly completed, and will be-
ready TO open FIRE shortly.
From most reliable source we learn that
the Ironsides, ever since the explosion Of the.
torpedo under her bows, has been in leeky
condition, and that her pump is kept steadily:
at work day and night to keep her free. This
statement corresponds with the Northern.
news in our telegraphic columns this morning
of the probability of the Ironsides being
obliged to- 90 North for repairs. From the
same source we learn that Lieut.. Glassell and
Sullivan are prisoners aboard the Ironsides,.
and given the liberty Of the ship. 81: sS
The enemy. it is said, award them great
credit for their courage and audacity, and de-
clare it the boldest enterprise of the war.
A email boat, with Count De Marivaux and
sonie other officers and men Of the French
Corvette Tisiphone. now of the Bar. came up
to the city Saturday afternoon. The Tisi-
phone is last from N. T., which port she left
onSSaturday. Oct 10th. She brought as pas
.sengers Mons g. De Sinhourg and lady, who
also came up to the city with their baggage
Saturday, and stopped at the Mills Hests. i 4
& Commander De Marivaux,. it is stated, is !
cousin Of the Emperor Napoleon. The T,si-
phone will probably also come up to the city
10 few days.
The crew report that when they left N. Y.
several French war vessels were expected
there, but for whist purpose was not known.
