city Is from Chattanooga last evening, and was
to the effect that Rosecrans would concentrate
on Chattanooga last night Thomas had been
engaged. There were indications that the enc
my were contemplating demonstration on
another part of our lines last evening 1t was
questionable whether Thomas would be able to
reach Chattanooga last night.
learns by the arrival of the steamer Fulton that
preparations by Gen. Gilmore for Smelling the
city of Charleston were in a forward state, and
can be undertaken at any time. AS evidence of
the intentions of the Government, this fact IS
significant that the Arago took to Gen. Gilmore
eighty cases of shells containing Greek fire.
The guns were not firing when the Fulton
left, and there is reason to believe that the navy
will not recommence the attack upon the rebel
position until Gen. Glllmores new batteries are
ready to cooperate. The rebels in battery Bee
keep up regular fire on our troops, but do lit
tie or no damage. The Fulton brings 100 rebel
prisoners.

New YORK, Sept %. The steamship Missis-
sippi reports passing Charleston Bar at o'clock

The Morning Herald denounces the Govern

Mer. ey, and refuses to believe the statement
that they are to be detained on mere suspicion.
The British and Foreign Ant-slavery Society

The Phrase de la NOire says two clipper

The Paris correspondent Of the Morning Her
aid repeats the assertion that the recognition OF
the South and defensive league between the
Confederate French and Mexican governments

The London Times Paris correspondent, wri-
ting on the subject of French occupation OF
Mexico, says that the Federal Government OF
Mexico may as yet have taken no steps in the
matter, but numerous private letters from Amer
lea express the strong dissatisfaction felt at the
proceedings in Mexico, and the conviction that
