s9- There are some thirty.fve or forty
negroes in Fort McHenry, all Of whom were
taken at Gettysburg. They profess an un-
dying attachment for the South. Several
times Gen. Schenek has offered to release
them if they would take the oath of alle-
glance to the Federal Government, and
join the Lincoln army. They have per-
emptorily refused in every instance, and
claim that they should be restored to their
masters and home in the South. They say
they would prefer death to liberty on the
terms proposed by Schenck.

CHARLESTON, Oct. IA small boat
containing two Yankee soldiers was captur.
ed early yesterday morning in the harbor
between Fort Sumter and the city. They
were probably accommodating, but profess

The firing has been more rapid than u.
sual last night and this morning.
A fifteen. inch. shell, near Gen. Ripley's
headquarters, was exploded by some boys

MYSTERIOUS Observation-Disclosures

MYSTERIOUS observation-disclosures
has its maritime mysteries. There are now
building in our yards two steamers, the ap.
pearance of which exoites the more curiosi-
ty as their owners and future destination
are unknown. The smallest gig cannot be
built in secret for regattas which are acces-
sible to every eye, and a 5ortiori vessel of
large dimensions cannot escape notice. The
practiced eye Of our nautical men readily
perceives that those of which we speak are
not intended for ordinary navigation. Ev-
cry one asks for what they are intended,
and, as no one can answer the question pos
itively, the field remains open to conjecture.
The fneness of their lines is extreme they
arc almost fiat, narrow and with bows as
sharp as the blade of a razor. Their length
is 260 feet; they will each have engines of
400 horse power, and are pierced for %
guns. Their guaranteed speed will not be
less than fourteen knots an hour. The
plan was furnished to the builder, who had
only to follow it. The hull is in wood, but
there is quantity Of iron used which will
give them great strength. :, What exoites
considerable curiosity is the fact that they
are to be delivered to their owners at sea
twenty leagues off Bell Isle. There are
two similar vessels building in the yard of
NJ. Arman at Bordeaux. The order was
given by house in this place for one a.
broad, but no one knows for whom, and the
builders are no wiser. These vessels can
not be intended for carrying freight, as the
6rmness of their build makes them loss one
third of their tonnage. According to SINE
persons, they belong to a company which
intend them for the China packet service /;
while others think that the preparations for
armament is not consistent even with the
conveyance of dispatches, and therefore
consider them built for war purposes. The
most generally credited version that they
may, when afoat, take their place among
the Confederate feet, Of which the Sumter
was the pioneer. For our part we give no
opinion on the subject; we confne ourselves
merely to reporting those of others

ARE WE DONG Our DuTY?--Are We,
the people at home doing our-duty to the
brave men in the field? The unrelenting
blasts of winter will soon be upon us; the
soldier in tho field is exposed to the pelting
storm by day and by night, and his bed is
the cold, damp path. We know that.those
at home are called upon to suffer many pri-
vations and hardships; but We have a thou

know that many of our people have done
much for the comfort of their brave defend

MISSIONARY RIDGE, October 9, via
Chickamauga.-The enemy opened heavy
fire, yesterday afternoon, at Lookout Noun
tain, from a-battery OF Moccasiu Point, for
the purpose Of ascertaining whether our
mortar battery had been removed. After
firing Tor an hour, and failing to elicit re-
ply, they abandoned the idea. A 2O-pound-
er Parrot, at the star fort, also threw shells
in the direction Of our siege pieces for sitni-
lar purpose, but failed.
!. The Moccasin Point battery opened a.
gain this morning, at IL o'clock, firing very
slowly at our pointers on Lookout Noun
tain.

Lees movements until last Friday, when
they commenced falling back from Culpe-

in time to prevent the capture of their
trains. More prisoners, captured by Mos.
by at Arundel, were brought in to-day.
