The Charleston Meecury, received in
Richmond on the 18th, has the following
on the situation there:
cit appears to US useless to attempt to
disguise from ourselves the situation. by
whose fault we got into it, it is in vain
now to inquire. The Yankees have got
ten possession Of the southern half Of
Morris Island, there is but one way to
save the city of Charleston, and that Is
the speedy and unhinohing use of the bay
onet.
"The fight on Morris Island is to be now
fought by engineers and cannon merely.
The advantage is with the enemy. With
their iron clads on the water, and their
men in occupation of the land, it is likely
TO be mere question Of time. The fail OF
Fort Wagner ends in The fall of Charles
ton. Fort Sumter, like Fort Wagner,
will then be assailabIe by both land and
sea, and the fate OF Fort Pulaski will be
that Of Sumter.
"Gen. Gilmore, the commander of this
department, is the man who reduced Fort
Pulaski.
"Chareston must be saved as Richmond
was. For six days our forces stormed the
successive batteries of the enemy, and
saved Richmond. The greater part OF the
soldiers who achieved these triumphs, by
the bayonet, had never before been in q
charge. These Yankees have as yet few
or no formidable works; they have but a
few thousand troops. If our soldiers and
officers here are not equal to the kind OF
fighting fought by the army of Virginia
and tried by the Yankees against such
strong works as Fort Wagner and Secs
sionville, then Charleston falls. This APP
pears to us the only course of safety. and
and we may add, too, for the economy Of
lives. Other means may protract the
fighting to days and weeks, and postpone
the termination of the struggle. No 9th
er means, in our opinion, viii save the city
We believe it can easily be saved, wifi
promptness. energy and dash. 1t is toe
late for engineering. Hesitation and delay
are fatal.

~The Coppefhead papers are copy
ing the following from the speech Of
some demagogue:
"Haye we surrendered our sons, and
brothers and fathers-have we submitted
TO the enormous imposition of taxes--have
we voluntarily contributed of our proper
ty, money and means, for the purpose o.
fighting our way down to the level Of a
negro Z"
Those who really feel any danger Of fall
ing to the level of the negro have not a
great way to fall-not above an itch in
deed if not already below the negro in all
the attributes that belong to man.
Some days ago we saw man who had
not only squaudered a large fortune but a
large estate in public DEMONSTRATING been
a member Of Congress. His associates are
now Copperheads, and his most intimate
friends and the last to desert him are loaf.
ers and thieves. He was ranting, earnest.
ly we had not doubt, against the Govern
ment for carrying on this war to elevate
the negro to alevel with white men.

wisconsin Dells.

FRrEEp CoyER:-As many of your
readers have never visited the natural scene
nv of the noble Wisconsin, few words
about that place might be relieving IN this
time of war news. Wisconsin Dells on
the upper waters of Wisconsin III Adams
Co., near Kilbourne City, on the Lacrosse
railroad, is a place of wonder; here for
miles this river is compelled to course its
way between bold rocks that rise on either
hand and but IS feet apart; it is not as
wide as deep, being from so to 80 feet
deep; its dark waters roll and boil and
rush along in grandure; in high water it
rises here furiously; bridge which spans
the river at the deIls rs feet above low
water mark is nearly reached at its rise.
Your writer, some years ago while that
bridge was new, crossed it on foot; it
merely rests on the rocks at each end; the
bridge would tremble sidewise then, 8 or
inches, by shaking il; this is the dread
ed place Of the raftsmen; deaths door, just
below, is fearful rock that reaches out,
shelving over the river in a bend and must
be watched with great caution. Many are
the RATS that are driven by the force OF
the river into this place and are doubled up
and wrecked. This place is worth going
to see for those that love mafyels in ma
ture; that bridge is old and forsaken now,
since The railroad company have construct
ed their beautiful bridge at Kiloourne City,
but enough for the present.
Yours truly, IL. IL. ..
