the purpose OF wiping out the insult 20
their flag, which the fall Of Fort SUM
ter on the 18th Of April, 1861, nearly two
years ago, inflicted on the Yankee ma
tion.
Charleston is the heart, as she was the
head and front of the offence. Through
her closely blockade port hundred ves-
sells are bearing TO the hands OF our young
Coniederaoy the means and material sf

therefore, OF the port as an emporium of

hondish malice on the metropolis Of she
pestilent State Of South Carolina, is The
dearest wish Of our inhuman foe. With

courage, and the unconquerable resolve
never to submit or yield, we 90 forth to
the struggle, conscious Of, and we trust

NARROW ESCAPE OF A BLocKADE.R,

MARROW ESCAPE OF A BLOCKADE Run.
MING SrEANER-Dr. Hoge.-Rev. NJ. D.
Hoge reached this city from Wilmington,
N. e., on Tuesday last. He came from
Nassau in the blockaderunning steamer
Vance. Her dash into Wilmington was
quite exciting. The Central Prssbyte-
rian says:
The Vance having been somewhat delayed
during the night did not come in sight of the
Federal vcesels-five in understanding
the approach to Wilmington till about
o'clock Saturday morning. The eky was
brilliantly clear, and the sea unrufiied. With
daring spirit the Captain determined to run
the risk, and moved rapidly on, keeping close
to the shore, and making for Fort Fisher,
under whose guns q shelter might be reach
ed. The blockadcrs, as If confOunded at the
audacity Of the movement, remained quiet
for little while, when the three lying near
est at hand wheeled round, and started for a
position where our vessel might be inter
cepted. But when it became apparent that
her extraordinary speeds would outcstrip
them they opened tremendous fire, which
continued for about twenty minntes-the
distance being only about mile anc half
With shells bursting and shot blowing the
waves all around, the protecting power Of
the Almighty kept her unhurt. As soon as
she had passed from between Fort Fisher aud
the blockaders our guns from the fort open
ed upon them, and one of their ships having
been struck they all moved OF ont of reach.
Some distance above the fort the Vance ran
aground upon sand bar, which made her ex-
pOsure to capture by small craft Of the enc
my very great. But strong guard sent over
from the fort kept her from an attack.

AUSTRIA AND THE UNITED STATES
The Cincinnati Times publishes an ex.
tract from a private letter received by
citizen of that city from q gentleman Of
Vienna, Austria, which discloses a new
reason why Maximilian was induced to
accept the throne of Mexico. The
writer of the letter, says the Times, has
from his position rare opportunities to
ascertain diplomatic secrets:
VIENNA, August 20, 1855 can
also give you q little political information,
which may interest you Americans. You
may remember the KOstza affair, and the go
called Hulseman letter. The Austrian
Government has never forgotten nor for
given the insult then offered to her flag and
was given to Austria, she thinks, because
her naval power was small, and because she
had no efficient means to resent it,, and
therefore had to pocket it. They believe
here that the United States would not have
done so to eithef France or E0gland.
When the first overture for the Mexican
throne came to Maximilian, who, as you
know. represents the little Austrian navy,
the offer was &C .Ompanied by suggestion
from the French Government that the accept
ance of the Mexican throne would, in the
course Of events, give its Emperor an oppor-
tunity to revenge the wanton insult to Aus
trials naval flag. Maximilian is said to have
been captivated bt the idea aud the train OF
reflections it involved, and to have made the
remark: 1--WE will yet be even with the
braggart nation" My informant is likely to
be Wen informed, and, must say. 1t would
indeed be strange If, eventually, Austria
would in this round about way take mp the
gauntlet years ago thrown down to her.
am also informed that Secretary Seward
has indicated to the Austrian Government
That LIncoln's administration does not hold
to the spsition then assumed by tho Web
ster- -Hnlseman letter, and that persons hav-
ing only their Hrst papers will not hereafter
be regarded % citizena OF the United States.
doubt whether this declaration has been
given by Seward in the formal manner which
would appease the offended pride u Aus

Latest from Europe.

The steamer Africa, with Liverpool
dates to the 4th inst has arrived at New
York:
The news by the Scotia OF the defeat of
Rosecrans created considerable sensation aud
caused rise Of per cent. In the rebel loan;
but the advance was not fully sustained, and
closed about Is discount.
The London NeWs says Gen. Bragg's VIC
tory over Gen. Rosecrans Ia q striking de-
mOnstration OF the wisdom of the new mill
tary policy Of the Confederates In combin-
ing their forces to arrest the advance of the
Federals. The honors Of the battle belong
to Gen. Bragg, but he must do more than he
has hitherto done II the Confederate cause
is to gain solid advantage from his sword.
The London Times thinks that Rosecrans
Was defeated by superior strategy rather than
mere fighting, and says 1t is evident that the
Federal troops contested the field Obsti-
nately, rallied when broken, and formed
again and renewed the engagement repeated
~. They seem to have done all that bravery
and determination could effect, but the
greater aklil Of the Confederate Generals In
combining the force which made the attack
insured them tho victory.
The London Herald looks on it 40 the most
decisive battle fought In the Western States.
The London MOrning Post points to the
continuance Of the peculiarly Of this great
