US, that he (Brough) commended and in
dorsed Senator Chandler, of Michigan, and

Some Of the manufacturing States think
that fight would be awful. Hithomt a

The. as;ExPetsisioa against
SulNt0r.

New YoRK, l3.-A Morris Island let
ter of the 9th, to the Herald, gives an ac-
count of the recent boat expedition against
Sumter Thehetilla consisted OF between
twenty five and thirty boats, manned by
over Que hundred sailors, under command
of Lieutenant Commander Williams of the
Wissahickon, aud one hundred marines,
under Captain McAuley; the entire force
was commanded by Commander Stevens
of the monitor Patapseo.
The boats were towed within short
distance Of the fort, whence they advanced.
Three boats, under Commander Williams,
Lieutenant Rcamy and Ensign Porter,
landed and the parties attempted to run
up the ruins to the parapct. They were
fred upon by musketry and hand grenades
thrown down upon them. The slope was
so sharp they were unable to reach the
parapet.
A signal was given from the fort, and
| in an instant all the rebel batteries opened
on the fort and shelled it terribly. Three
boats were smashed and all who landed
were killed or captured. Commander
Williams, Lieutenapts Reamy, Preston
Drawer, Bunce, Wheeler. and Ensign
Porter were also captured. Forty or hf-
ty sailors and marines were killed and
wounded The entire list of casualties
will number eighty. The remainder Of
the command retired in safety.
A fas of truce states that our captured
officers and men we're in Sumter, and We're
well treated.
! The Herald's letter states that il bas
been discovered that the old ironrclad bat
ltery at Cummings Point forms the cover
of the magazine of Fort Gregg.
1t affords good cover to our men, and
has already sustained heavy fire from
the rebel batteries without the least dam
age.
! The same correspondent highly eulo-
gizes the Ironsides, whose broadsides
lasainst Moultrie he had never seen equaled
in rapidity and effect. She was upinlured,
though struck about two hundred times.
The Times correspondent with the
Army of the Potomac writes. ON the 18th
that it is believed that one corps OF Lees
or about ene.third of the army under
fLongstrects, is moving to Richmcnd, there
to be transferred-two divisions OF 1t te
the Southwest and one to Charleston.
Hoods division left fredericksburg or
Tuesday last for Richmond and thence t'
Charleston. This seems to Indicate tina
. the rebels in Virginia will remain cntirel,
on the defensive for the coming campaign
which the enemy here counts upon beior
winter.

The noble hearted Democrats Of Malaga
Township had prepared ample grounds
and fixtures for TIE accommodation of the
assembled crowd of people on the 14th
inst. The speakers stand was beautifully
decorated with evergreens, wreaths, Aow-
ers, banners and strings of hickory nuts,
and was altogether the incest stand we
ever saw in our County. Speeches were
made by Messrs. Morris and O'Connor
occupying tho undivided attention Of the
people for moro than four hours. The
ladies of Miltonsburs presented each of
the speakers with handsome boquet com
posed Of red, white and blue flowers, for
which they were complimented ir hand
some style by Dr.. OCoaner. We estimate
the number of people present at from
1000 to 1900, all of whom, excepting q
very small number, are for Freedom, for
the Union, the Constitution and Vallan-
| digham.

The New York World makes a capital
bit upon the Abolition press, which is
urging upon the Administration the adop-
ton Of the mos. extreme and violent meas
urcs to put down what they call the spirit
of opposition to the Administration meas
ures Of the North. They call for Martial
Law all over the country, aud for the en-
ployment of nothing but grape aud canis-
ter shot and she'll, bayonet and sword
These are the last arguments of Kings, but
the first of blockheads or fools, says the
World. 1t was by the adoption Of this
brnte force policy that the Southern wal
was brought upon our hands, and the same
want Of sense invites it upon the North.

Ever since our occupation of Wagner

such an admirably constructed work and
so capacious and safe, boom proof, no one
is injured. They fire often enough b dur
ing the night to enable US to sleep soundly.
Since Tuesday ten or twelve deserters
have come in from James Island, belong

They report continued dissatisfaction
