Prom Charleston an5 Ricbmond-


New York, July 29.-The following is
letter from an officer on board the Chippewa
in Charleston harbor:
CHARLESTON, July 19th.-The Chippewa
has gained great credit for going nearer than
any OF the gunboats, and firing faster. Yes
terday we were on the right of the wooden
sides next to the monitors. The rebels gave
US but very few shots, giving most of their at
tention TO the monitors, ironsides, and balty's.
The gunboats were at work from o'clock A.
NJ. until after o'clock P. NJ. The iron-clads
engaged the rebels at little after II o'clock,
but our work was play compared with the
charge in face of the fire from Forts Wagner
and Sumter
If the move had been made two hours or
even one hour earlier than it was, Wagner
would have been ours at this present moment.
After they got in it was so dark, so they say
| who lived to get out again, that rebels fired
on rebels, Union men on Union men ; Sumter
killing as many rebels as did our men our
batteries killing and wounding as many friends
as foes. The carnage, for I shall not call it
anything else, was awful, our loss being from
| 700 to 1000 killed, wounded and missing 1t
is said that the 18th Massachusetts led the van
and all but six officers were killed, wounded
or taken prisoners. They fought very hard.
Our men were in the fort something like two
hours, and it was nothing but the confusion
and darkness, not being able to tell friend
| from foe, that obliged them to get out. Wag-
ner is destined to be ours. 1t will be so, for
Gilmore is not the man to give up.
NEW YORK, July 29.-The Charleston Mer-
curys account of the late attack on Fort Wag-
ner admits that our forces held a portion of
the fort over an hour, uDder most calling
fire.
The rebels captured over 200 prisoners in.
Guiding a few negro troops, and blurred over
600 of our dead. The rebel loss is estimated
at 100.
The rebels state that the bombardment was
terrific; but their men were amply protected
by bomb proofs.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 28.-The flag of
truce steamer, New York. arrived from City
Point last evening. She brings Richmond
dates to the 9th.
The following are extracts from Richmond
papers:
The Fayetteville n. C. Observer says that
DR.. Morris, President of Telegraph Company,
should dismiss the enterprising reporter who
invented the story of Gen. Lee taking 10000
prisoners.
Gold is worth $Il in Richmond.
The Mayor of Savannah has issued proc
an2ation requesting all residents of the city to
organize for home defense, and all managers of
stores, workshops, and all other places OF bus
ness to close them at o'clock on Mondays,
Wednesday, and Fridays for the purpose of
drilling.
He directs an enrolment to be made Of
every man in the city capable of bearing arms.

The DRAFT.-It is now reduced to a GER
tainty that the draft is about to come off in
Ohio. All the preliminary arrangements were
perfected some time since, and within the last
few days surgeons and other necessary officers
have been assigned to the camps of rendez-
vous, and squads from the various old regi.
ments have arrived at the camps for the pur-
pose of taking barge of the drafted men, who
are to be used for filling up the depleted
ranks of the regiments now in The field The
mode of ofconducting the draft is thus detailed
in the State Journal, and as the rule will of
course be uniform in all the districts, we pub
lish it for the information of those interested:
The district is sub-divided into sub.districts,
each ward and township being a sub-district
The names of all persoHs enrolled in the first
class in each sub district are written upon plain
white cards, about . inches square; aud
these cards for each sub district, after having
been carefully compared and verified by the
original rolls, are placed in envelops and seal
ed up, with the number of cards in each pack
iAieAi ASN pun 0AAO ChFClOpG. AuGu ali Tue
packages for the several sub-districts are pla,
ced in large package, which is also securely
fastened and sealed up. At the time of the
| draft the large package will be opened, and
the package containing the cards for the first
district taken out and opened, and the cards
dropped into the wheel, one after another, and
counted as dropped, to see that the number
Is the same as marked on the envelope.
The wheel, which is an iron bound cask, is
then turned, and person to be selected by
the Provost Marshal and bindfolded, draws a
card from the cask and hands it to the Com
missioner Of the Board, who announces the
name and it is then entered in a Roll Book by
a clerk. This is repeated until the number to
be drafted from the first sub-district is drawn.
when the remaining cards are taken from the
wheel and again counted, and the number com.
pared with the number originally marked on
the envelope and the number drawn to verify
the draft. Then the package for the I'd sub
district is taken out and treated in the same
manner and so on for each sub-district
After the draft is completed, notices will be
served on all drafted, either personally or by
leaving copy at their last place Of residence,
and they have then ten days in which to ap-
pear before the Board. claim exemption, fur
nish substitutes, or pay the $500.

What the Riot Might Have Done.

Now that the worst is over, the loyal people
of this metropolis may well ask the question
"What would have been the character and
magnitude of the riot had General Mead e
been defeated at Gettysburg ?" Let US imag
inc, if we can, the consequences of defeat
of the Union troops, such as happened at
Fredericksburg or Charlottesville, with Lee
in hot pursuit of our broken battallions to
the Susouehanna 1t is not saying too much
that every street in this city would have run
with blood; that nearly every public building
would have been given to the flames, and that
nearly every private building would have been
consumed or in the hands of the raven Gus
hordes who have been infesting our through
fares. Every inmate of our prisons (unless
his skin were black would have been turned
loose and told to recommence bis warfare up
on society The scenes of arson and pillage
which are confined to few localities IN the
Uptown wards, would have been repeated
in every street and alley from the Battery to
Central Park. And what grand illuminationS
would have been got up at night by the hun
dreds of merchant vessels blazing in the rivers
and baysl
Nav, this would have been the beginning
of mischief; for the contaglon would have
spread from city to city, and from town to
hamlet until, like q prairie hre, II had ex-
tended from one extremity OF the land to the
other. Success would have emboldened others
to try afresh the same game, as one laWless
revolution in Mexico is certain to produce a
dozen others The evil would have In fact
propagated itself as far distant ln respect to
time as 10 regard to space. In both' Its effects
would have been intellectually disastrous.
From this frightful abyss Of lawlessness and
ruin we have been mercifully saved oy the de-
feat of Lee at Gettysburg. That event an
ticipated the outbreaks here suffcinliy long to
dampen the ardor of those who engineered 1t,
while prOpOrtioHately Strengthening tne hearts
and nervinp the arms of ali good citizens.-
What would have proved a most form Idable
insurrectiOn here was so nipped in the oud as
to be only q series of disOrderly MODS. 1t
had full opportunity to exhibit its lOathsome
features by perpetrating the most 6endlsh at
rocities ever enacted on this continent; but to
give any real assistdence to Davis q Co., it
was powerless. In the end it will greatly in
vigorate the loyal sentiment of the country
and even aid the Administration. But no
thanks to it or its master-spirits: Thanks,
under merciful God, to General meade and
his veteran soidiers.-[New York CONNER

Senator sherman's Meeting, July g. 1868.
The band opens by two or three discourses
in melody.
Judge Ranney moves that Judge Powell be
chairman of the meeting. Carried. Judge
Powell steps forward and states that the OBJ
iect of the meeting is to hear an address from
be interesting.
Mr. Hubbell moves that DR.. L. Barnes be
Secretary Carried
The band delivers another musical address.
Mr.. Sherman is now introduced by Judge
Powell He stands up before the audience,
tall, spare, erect He opens mildly in a clear
voice and distinct utteraoce. But he warns
up very soon, and walks into the Vallandig-
ham. His voice becomes harder, sharper,
! somewhat intensely emphatic, and is attended
bv Quick spats of one hand upon the other, or
uDon ;be little book in which his references
are contained. He is proving that Vallandig'
ham was legally held, Tried and banisbed as a
traitor. Just how he proves it will doubtless
! be told by two professional reporters who sit
writing in short hand by the table on which
he lays his little book every now and then.
The ewes of the very crowded audience are
paving him the best compliments, for they are
all wide open and fixed intently upon him.
Now he proves that Vallandigham, since
the commencement of his public record. has
been the invariable enemy Of everything pa
triotic and free; has opposed the war in every
form, and voted against every bill in Congress
which would operate for paying even dollar
to the soldiers. The manner Of the speaker
has become rather impassioned, and his clear
tones considerably loud. but his articulation is
not so fire and distinct. Still that multitude
of eyes, undeterred by the hot and close al
ncsphere, are fixed in his direction. And the
bright eyes of few patriotic ladies are spark
ling among them.
And now, about an hour has elapsed, and
the speaker has done. The band is again ut
tering patriotic strains, which are assuming a
more triumphant air, and become almos: roll
licking as the people pass silently out of the
door and go home thinking. The work has
been conclusively and well done.
L. BARNES, Secretary.

UNION Mass MEETING.-The State Central
Committee has appointed Union Mass Meet
ing to be held in this place Tuesday nsrt, 4tl
inst, and assigned Col. CHAs. ANDERSON, our
candidate for Lieutenant Governor. and Hon.
SAMUEL GALLOWAY, as speakers. The notice
is short, and we hope the Union men Of the
county will take special pains to disseminate
It as generally as possible. The gentlemer
named have few superiors as orators, and all
who attend may rest assured of hearing q
couple of able and eloquent speeches. The
campaign-one Of the most important in all
its aspects our State has ever witnessed-has
opened Delaware county has never YET
failed in discharging her duty to the country
in great emergency, and she must not be
derelict at this time. Let US enter earnestly
and heartily upon the work before Us, and
spare no honorable effort to insure the triumph
of our glorious cause. A day cannot be bet
ter or more pro6tably spent than in attending
the meeting of the 4th and listening to the el-
oqueHt advocates Of the cause of our country,
who have been detailed to address us on that
occasion.

The South Views the situation-Alarm and Des
Deration.

The South Views the Situatlon-Alarm and Des-
peration-
Late Southern papers contain gloomy edi-
torials on the situation of the COnfederscy,
and are endeavoring, by desperate appeals and
threats, to ntimidate the growing party of
submissionists, who are beginning to talk
openly of making peace with the North and
returning to the old Union.
The Mobile Advertiser says: "The Conled-
eracy has seen darker days and emerged from
them 1t is not dark enough to justify the
prudence of those who are ready to submit
and anxious for peace aud the security of
property, on the basis of submission. There
have been some signs Of this white feather
futtering during the past few gloomy days.
Let US warn them that it is base TO feel and
dangerous to be premature in the utterance of
such sentiments. The land has made too
MANY sacrifices for its freedom to falter at the
last hour The timid and faithless must not
be allowed to fetter the footsteps of reVolu-
ton. 1t must roll on to triumph although
it's wheels have to roll over them and their
fortunes"
The Richmond Enquirer, the organ Of JEFF.
Davis, shows its alarm in a long editorial, IN
which it says that the only salvation of tie
Sou :hern Conlederacy is in calling out levy
m nlasse, the application of martial law to the
whole country, absolute control Of all trading,
The abolition of subst tuition, exemption and
foreign protection, the material enlargement
of the Presidents power TO revise election OF
f1cers, to make appointments, and get rid of
incompetent officers.
The Columbia, S. c., Gazette says "lhe
people of the Confederate States will soon be
called upon to undergo a graver trial-one
that will surely test the sincerity Of profes-
sivns heretofore made. We cannot escape he
ordeal. The time for trying mems souls is
rot far in the future. Many, we fear, will be
weighed in the balance and found wanting, on
he dreadful day; many will be the artifces
and subterfuges resorted to in order to shield
cowardly skuIks and chicken hearted patriots.
Already do we begir to hear murmurings,
gloomy predictions and visionary speeula-
tions"
A proclamation of JEFF. Davis appears in
the Enquirer, calling out, under the Confed-
crate conscription act all white men between
the ages of eighteen and forty-fve, to serve
for three years, under the penalty of being
held for desertion in case of disobedience to
the call. They are offered the privilege of
forming volunteer organizations before the enr
rollment.

1t is pleasing to know that the Government
is treating JEFF Davis insolent threats of re-
taliation for the execution Of spies as they de-
serve. General Fitzhue Lee and Captain
Winder are in close confnemet at fortress
Monroe as hostages for the safety of Captains
Swayer and Flynn, who are under sentence of
death at Richmond; and no officers will be ex.
changed until all the officers Of Col, Straits
expedition are released. As we have a vast
preponderance of prisoners, the rebel leaders
will not be likely to commence the work of
execution very soon.
Bishop Timon, of Buffalo, has issued patri
otic and earnest address tn the laity OF his Dio-
cese, beseeching the people "to abstain from
all resistance to law, from oil riot. from all
tumultuous gatherings, from all violence and
assuring them that should there be a draft,
fewer will be drafted, than would, probably,
be killed 10 an uuholy struggle against law"
The Bishop directs that his timely letter
should be read in every Catholic Church on
the Sunday after its reception.
Gen. SickIes is so far recovered as to be
able TO leave Washington FOR his home in New
York. He hopes soon to be able to resume
command of his old corps.
When the rebels retreated from Gettysburg.
they left behind them six drunken, inefficient
aud worthless surgeons, to take care of H.
900 wounded.
One of the conscripts in Portland went to
a dentist after he was drafted, and had four
Of his front teeth extracted, in order to incapa-
citate him from serving his country.
Late advices from England are said not to
be very satisfactory. 1t is now apprehended
that the rebel feet will be permitted to sail
from the British ports where they were built
in spite of all the efforts of the agents of our
Government.
Up to Monday evening last the New York
coroners held inquest on sixiy-six persons kill
ed in the recent riots in that city. Their ma
tivity are as follows:- Ireland A; Germany 3;
United States s. England 1; Denmark /; I'm
known, 4.
Rev. Jas. Valllandigham, of Newark, Del.
aware, and DIR. n. II. Clark, arrested Friday
last by the provost-guard, took the oath aud
were released. The former is brother of @.
L. Vallandigham.

IMPORTANT TO SKEDADDLERs--Capta
George A. Shaw, Provost Marshal Third Dis
trict Massachusetts, has received from the Pro.
vost Marshal General the following instruc.
tions in regard to the drafted men who leave
their abodes before notice has been served
upon them:
GAN men who absent themselves in the man.

all good citizens, but especially of the officers
and employees of this department, to arrest
and turn them over for trial and punishment
10heneUer and IOhereUer they may be found
81 have no doubt this duty will be faithfully
performed, and with view to it, the names
ofdeserters must be posted and published
throughout the country. If, however, they
should escape arrest. the burden of military
duty may fall little heavier on the loyal and
brave; but this voluntary exile of towards
and traitors will relieve the country of a class
of men it can we'll afford to spare"

COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-The call for the an
nual County Convention appears in our col
umns to-day. The candidates 10 be chosen
are, we believe, Representative, Probate
Judge, Treasurer, Clerk. Recorder, COmmis-
sioner and Infrmary Director. Action will
also doubtless be taken 10 regard to a Senate
rial candidate. hope Union voters will all
take sufficient interest in the matter to partici-
pate in the primary meetings,and thus make the
ticket nominated as far as may be a reflex of
the sentiments o! the Union men of the coun-
ty. Let us have strong ticket in the field,
and then go to work in earnest and roll uI
such majority for the Union cause in Ole
Delaware as will accord with her well earned
reputation for patriotic devotion to the inter
ests of the country.

The Providence Journal has letters written
on board the monitor Montauk. in which it is
stated that on the 18th inst. the rebels were
engaged in hanging cotton bales along the
southern face of Fort Sumter. Gen. Gilmore
was busy placing his guns and mortars. The
wild firing OF the enemy showed that they did
not know the position of the batteries he was
erecting. The officers and men were full of
hope.
A special to the Tribune says that the War
Department is pushing the organization of the
colored troops vigorously. The successes of
our forces in the West have given a lew impe-
tus to enlistment among the blacks, and by
autumn it is estimated that 100000 negroes
will be in the valley of the Mississippi.

How the Yankees Take a Draft.

At the drawing for the draft in New Haven
Coma, on Saturday last, the greatest good hu-
NOR prevailed. 767 names were drawn, incIud
ing the Mayor of the city, Congressman Eng
lish, the whole Board Of Enrolment, seven
officials, nearly half the city police, six employ
ees from the Courier newspaper, and respect
able representation from the other local jeurn-
ais. The lucky winners of prizes take the
matter pleasantly, mount a red ribbon in their
button-hoes and affect to look down on those
who drew blanks. A scarlet ribbon, with the
word ''conscript" embroidered on it, is much
coveted, and the wearers are regarded with
envy.
