on "Wednesday and thursday We had two very

IN "wednesday Lieut. Col. Hail. and Capt. Bur-
osr of Cen. Gilmore staff, met the enemy out
Edo of Fort wagner and delivered a letter from
Con Gilmore, in reply to one from Gen. Beaure-
gard. II was merely in explanation OF the cause OF
some accidental firing on our side, during preVl-
Gus flag truce interview. =,
On Friday Col. Hall also went with fiag-of-truce
on the steamer Cosmopolitan into Charleston Har,
bor but the particulars of that interview you VIII
have from another reporter:
I'm Friday morning, at daylight, general bom-
bardment was again resumed, by our land batter
ies and the navy. 1t was continued fnrlousiy until
about 10 O'Clock, Sumter and Wagntr responding,
when there was general cessation OF nrhS whie

hrt we have had only four men hurt in three days.
The most serious casualty is the woundlng OF
Iieut.-Col. Leggett of the 10th Connecticut while
in the trenches with his regiment. His foot was
struck with a shell, and badly hurt. Amputaton
below the knee was performed, but he is III very
critical cond tion.
Our troops in spite of revcrses still have the
most unbounded confidence in Gen. Gilmore. and
believe he will succeed in whatever he attempts.
They are not disprited by defeat or fatigue, their
morale is Just as good as ever, and when OH duty
they are cheerful and lively.

The sdraft riots'' in New York have been sup
pressed by the strong arm of military law, after
severe fighting for several days, between the mill
tary and the rioters, in which many lives were
lost The draft will now be enforced at all hazards,
and the sneaklng rebels of the North as soundly
thcasLed as those of the South. Gen. Dix has su-
nercedcd Gen. Wool in command OF the De-
partmcnt OF the East, and Brigader- General Ed
ward Il. S. Canby takes Brig. Ten. Harvey Browns
place in command of all troops in the city and har
bor of New York.
Severe rioting had taken place in the staid old
CITY of Boston. 1t was promptly suppressed but
not until the military came to the support OF the
police. Here, as in New York, number of lives
were lost Riots had also occurred in Albany,
Troy, Newark, and other large towns, but were
promptly suppressed by the authorities. The firm
Stand taken by the general government in all these
cases, is encouraging to every loyal heart. We
ar, still nation and the world shall, ere long,
know that the Republic founded by Washington
can and will live, a refuge and blessing to the
downtrodden of all lands.
The news OF the surrender of Port Hudson is
confirmed. Gen. Gardner made an unconditional
surrender to Gen. Banks on the 9th ult, ooOO prls-
oners, 80 guns and 5000 stand Of small arms fell
into our hands. Thus The Mississippi Is open, the
backbone of the rebellion is broken, the coniede-
racy is severed in twain.
Cen. Shernan's Expedition from Grants army
had met Joe Johnson at Jackson, Miss and ter
I;hle fight ensued. The city was sheed and near
lv destro ,ed by our forces who afterwards gained
fnl possession of it when Johnson's forces started
in full retreat Eastward.
Morpaa band of Guerillas had been severely
handled in Ohio and Indinna. Numbers were
k lied and take prisoners. This gang of land pi-
rates is about broken up.
Rosecrans was driving Bragg before him into
Georgia and has already got as far as Rome. Bragg
is making every effort to join Johnson, but both
their armies were sfearfally demoralized' it was
hardly thought that either could rally again for
much of fight. The rebels speak of johnson
defeat as an irreparable loss. We have now in
our hands the entire rolling stock Of the New Dr.

looked better for the ultimate triumph OF our
ploriods cause. Now let us add to it good

Besides the rebel officers named above, in the
party vas Capt. Wagner, A. A. g., to General
1tipley. Right Reverend Bishop Lynch, the Ro-
man Catholic Bishop of Charleston, was also on
board, and it is due him, though hot rebel, to
state the general report among our wounded, that
he had been very kind to them. There were about
fifty other civilians also on board including one of
the Editors of the Charleston Courier.
While the exchange was being made, Lieut.
Col. Hall remarked to Col. Anderson that he no.
ticed no colored wounded on board. s'No," said
the Colonel, there are none.' {" Why is that?'
inquired Colonel Hall. "That is matter" re- 1
sponded the Colonel, for after consideration"
&c Did you not regard the agreement made for the
exchange of all wounded prisoners as applying to
the colored soldiers % asked Col. hall. Col.
Anderson responded negatively. 81 did, remark
ed Col. Hall, "and insist that there was no cx-
cepiion made in the agreement" In the meantime
however, one of the rebel wounded had objected
to being delivered up, saying he preferred to re-
main with US. Some one erased his name from
the official list, Col. Anderson insisted on the man
being delivered up, but Col. Hall positively de-
clined, although the rebel Colonel insisted he was
an enlisted man, and subject to the agreement for
exchange. Col. Hall replied that our colored
troops were enlisted men, under the protection of
our flag, entitled to be delivered up by the terms
of agreement Col. Anderson asked him to put
his objections in regard to the non delivery Of
colored troops in writing. Col. Hall said he had
no objections, and requested Col. Anderson to put
in writing his>iaim in regard to the wounded rebel
The latter declining Col. Hall refused to put his
objections in writing and so the matter was dropped
by both parties.
Welearned that the rebels had lO8 of our wonnd
ed still in hospital at Charleston, too ill to be
moved, and that 81 had died since being taken
there. There are many MORALLY wounded among
the number still alive. There have been an i'm
mense number of amputations, many of the limbs
that our surgeons would have saved.
Col. Robt. J. Shaw, OF the Mass. 54th (colored),
we learned, was shot on the ramparts of Wagner
and buried in trench with twenty-five negroes.
Col Putnam of the 7th N. H., was killed by min
ME ball in the head. His body was recognized by
an old class-mate, and also by Col. Anderson, and
was laid aside for separate interment, but was
subsequently buried by mistake, and cannot now
be found.
The rebels say they buried Gl0 of our dead after
the late assault on Fort Wagner, and l02 after the
former one.

Gen. Lee has made a cautious report
OF the plans and objects OF his Pennsyl-
vania campaign, but he shows plainly
that they were all defeated. He speaks
of " other valuable results to be attained
BY military success" but as the military
success was not attained, the others did
not appear and we doubt II he saw the
signs he expected.
He says he undertook to draw Hooker
north for the purpose of attacking him,
