The daily Evansville journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1862-1863, 1863-09-07

New YORK, September 5.-The spe-
Gals this morning are extremely barren.
The Secretary of the treasury has for
some time past been engaged in the
preparation of new regulations for trade
with the rebel States, suited to the al
tered condition of affairs, occasoned by
the opening of the Mississippi river.
They will be completed in few DAYS,
but may have to be submitted for ap-
prevail of the Generals commanding the
Department of the South, before they
will be ready for publication. The
largest number of applications for lands
under the Homestead law are from Wis
consin, Michigan, Kansas and Washing
ton. The revenue from the public do
main is scarcely more than nominal.
No additional lands viii be Immediately
advertised for sale
& Morris Island letter the LIST. to the
Herald says:
For two or three days past a ne rebel
battery on Sullivans Island has been
making fruitless efforts to annoyour men
in the advance trenches. The callibre
OF the gun employed is not certainly
known, but is supposed to be one of the
11-inch guns taken from the Keokuk.
The firing of the gun is very good except
in one very important particular, its
range being short, and only at long in
tervals the shot from it reaches the
Island. Those thrown in thus far have
been solid shot, and have done no dam,
age other than to the sand hills which
have been hit; the great majority fall
into the water outside of the beach, and
spend their force upon the surf Four
monitors, the Passaic, Patapsco, Nahant,
and Montauk, came in yesterday and en-
gagged Fort Moultrie and the batteries of
Sullivan Island, firing occasional
shots at Sumter and Wagner.
The engagement opened about 81
o'clock, and a two hours fire was main
tanned with great intensity, particularly
on the rebel side The firing from Fort
Moultrie and Battery Bee was terrific.
The heavy guns ratified off like a snare
drum in tattoo, and the water about the
monitors was getting up all directions.
Many shots struck the monitors, but did
little damage The heavy rifle and Is
inch shells of the iron-clads burst with
terrible effect over and around Moultrie,
and sent the earth whirling in all direc-
tions. Wagner was frequently struck
by exploding shells and somewhat dam
aged. She fired but few shots during
the contest with the monitors Battery
Gregg was exceedingly active Her
heavy guns were in play from first to

Gen. Grant an Abolitionist.

Gen. Grants latest and happiest ex-
preston is contained in bis letter, read
to his friends at the recent dinner given
to him in Memphis. We recommend its
sentiments to those Butternuts who have
been making disparaging comparisons
between him and other officers solely be-
cause they had expressed similar views.
In speaking of his noble army, he says:
"They lriH rejoice nth me that the
miserable adherents Of the rebellion,
sohom their bayoRets hare drireR from
this fair land, are being replaced by
men WHO ACKNOWLEDGE HUMAN LIBERTY
AS THE ONLY TRUE FOUNDATION OF HUMAN
GOVERNMENT.

the last of tae engagement, and made
some excellent shots The monitors
shells went wildly on all sides, and had
no effect in silencing her guns. Sumter
was struck several times by rife shells
from the Passaic and Patapsco, but be-
sides detaching masses Of loose masonry,
did no further damage to the Fort. No
guns were dismounted if any exist. After
two or three hours fighting the monitors
withdrew. The object of the attack has
not been developed.
Some days since the enemy made an
effort to blow up and destroy the gun
boats and transports in Stone Inlet, by
means of torpedoes Fortunately no Sc
rious damage was inflicted on any of the
vessels by these internal machines, but.
the escape was quite narrow enough for
| comfort.
One torpedo exploded little astern of
| the Pawnee, and blew her launch which
she was towing astern to fragments A
/ few moments later another tremendous
explosion few rods below the Paw
nee, occasioned by another torpedo sank
down at the same time. From facts
| since developed it is certain that the reb-
els sent down on that night at least ten
of these inventions Three or four ex-
ploded, and four were picked up One
drifted through the feet and up Foley
river and exploded under the beams of
the Morris schooner c. P. Williams, but
oceasioned no damage The torpedoes
are precisely the same as those we have
found in Light House Creek, and go off
at the slightest conclusion.
The 1Tibune's Morris Island special
says Wagner will be held TO the last mo-
ment, and nothing, it is said, but the
want of water will compel her to surren-
der. The dead lie so thickly around the
walls that the water from the shallow
wells cannot be drank. If compelled by
thirst some of the soldiers are so impru-
dent as to swallow it, and the next
day they are in the hospital, and be-
fore the close of the week many of them
are in their graves. Brave attempts have
been made to supply the garrison from
Charleston, but only small quantity
is thus furnished. Only at midnight, or
under cover of some dense fog in the
| morning have any vessels been known
to reach them for the last eight days. If
the monitors would only cut off commu-
nications for one week longer, the fort
would be in our possession and with
Wagner, Gregg, and Morris Island once
ours, the stars and stripes in few hours
would wave over Sumter We are now
within one hundred yards of Wagner
! By tomorrow our heaviest PARROTS

A. the conclusion of his speech, further
notice of which we may take at some
other time, dinner was announced. The
people were formed into procession as
nearly as possible by several marshals
and marched to the tables Of these
there were three long Understanding
further than the eye could reach. They
fairly groaned under the weight of eat
ables piled upon them. The viands de-
monstrated that the resources of
Warrick and Vanderburg counties are
by no means exhausted Meats of every
variety, including magnificent supply
of baked chickens, bread and crackers
without limit, pies and cakes, cheese
and apples were heaped upon the tables
from one end to the other so that there
seemed to be enough for each, enough
all, and enough for evermore' The
crowd ate and were satisfied; and of
the fragments there was gathered, we
have no hesitation in asserting, more
than twelve baskets full The liberality
of the people is of piece with their pat
riotism.
/ After dinner the crowd again assem-
bled around the speakers stand, and the
Rev. Mr.. White of this city proceeded to
address them. Finding, however, that
he couldn' speak to more than two or
three acres of people, and numbers were
unable to get close enough to hear him,
another stand was erected and Hon.
Alvah johnson was introduced and spoke
to the crowd which quickly gathered
around it. Both of these speeches were
| happy efforts, if their merit is estimated
BY the satisfaction and pleasure they
afforded the people. At the conclusion
of these adore sses the military companies
on the ground, Of which there were a
large number, were ordered to fall into
line for the purpose of having battalion

reviewed by Major Will. Walker, of this
city, and Col Bates, of Warrick county,

Aug. %, via Leavenworth, Sept. 5.
Gen. Blunt with his army 4,50O strong
including 20 pieces of artillery, crossed
the Arkansas river on the 22d and offer
ed battle to Cooper, who had massed on
his front 900 men. After a faint show
of resistance the enemy commenced a
retreat which soon turned into disorderly
flight They abandoned all the prop
erty. Blunt pursued them 100 miles
back of the Arkansas to Perryville.
which is only fifty miles from Red river.
AT this point he captured and destroyed

els continued their fight to Bogg Depot,

now clear of rebels. Gen. Blunt is now
marching on Fort Smith, which will
doubtless fall without struggle.

BRUTAL MURDER = About halfpast
eight last evening, two citizens heard the
cry of murder, which proceeded from a
small fishing boat in the middle of the
river. They notified one of the govern
ment tug boats, of the facts, which i'm
mediately proceeded to the spot, where
they found the murderer and his victim.
The murderer, who gives his name as
NJ Rose, and who says he is from Vicks-
burg, was coolly sitting on the edge of
the boat, with the axe, with which he
had committed -the dreadful deed in his
hand His victim was literally cut to
pieces, being cut III several places, one
of which, penetrated completely through
the breast. The author of the deed, who
is undoubtedly deranged, gives the vic
TINS name as Henelya ! He refused to
give any reason for the awful deed. We
will endeavor to get the full particulars

The FRosT.-The effect of the heavy
frosts of Saturday and Sunday nights
will not, we are satisfied, prove as dam
aging as was at first apprehended- In
this county we hear of but little com
plants of injuries by it to the growing
crops The foliage of the tender plants
was barely wilted, while tobacco, grapes,
etc., received almost no damage at all.
This will be found to be the case in most
of the border counties in Indiana, the
exceptions being in few unprotected
localities, where tobacco, as well as sweet
aud Irish potatoes, were somewhat Sc
verely touched. The corn crop is too
matured to be greatly damaged by even
much heavier frosts than those of Satur-
day and Sunday nights.-Nea0 Albany
