CHARLFATON.

The additional intelligence which we PRINT
this morning from Charleston is no later than
the news of Wednesday by way of Richmond.
Neither this, nor that which we printed yester-
day, supplies us with particulars of much value;
predictions aboundiDg more than facts. From
it, however, Us from all previous dispatches, IT
il evident that the fleet of Admiral Dablgren
has had little opportunity to cooperate with
Gen. Gillmorcs land batteries. The Associated
Press correspondent, who is reported to DO Oh
board the flagship of Admiral Dahlgren, an.
nounces that that officer "is anxious to let the
army and naval battery ION shorc) finish Sum-
ter, expecting to have plenty Of work for the
monitors in taking the interior line OF
dcfenaes of Charleston" The Admiral Is
undoubtedly able to judge better than Others IN
what way and on what points his attack can be
most effectively delivered. Remembering the
experence of the fleet under Admiral Du Pont,
we concur in the opinion attributed to the pres
ent commander. This correspondent, however,
remarks in another paragraph Of his dispatch
that the Rebels have been taking the guns out
of Sumter ever since the attack upon it In April
last. (which demonstrated their inability 10
hold It," and he is at pains to repeat that the
walls were then extensively preached" But
how does ii happen that if the naval attack in
April proved the ability of the navy to take the
fort. the navy now hands over that honor to the
army under Gen. Gilmore L. il not plain that
the attack in April proved that the navy alone
was not able to take SUMTER
Admiral Du Pont is said to have been relieved
because he considered the force under his COM
mand inadequate, without the cooperation oil q
land force. To reduce the deicnscs OF Charleston
I, appears that Admiral Dahlgrcn, his successor
is Of the same opinion. Yet this correspondent,
now the culogist of Admiral Dahlgrcn, is the
person who last April bitterly attacked Admiral
Du Pont for declining 10 renew with his SHAT
tered fleet tie bombnrdment OF Sumter. Adrnl-
raj Dahlrrcn may well deserve the culogies, but
why should Admiral Du Pont have been as
sailed And if ihi. Inconsistency IL difficult To
explain. now shall that Of the Navy Department
be- accounted for
The renewal of these assaults on Admiral Du
Poni makes it proper to say that their lalSeho"d
was thoroughly exposed last April IN thc~
columns. and to remind the public that the Juds-
m.ut of tlp Admiral Wa then yindcatcd ard

GARuBALDr TO ABRAHAM LINCOLN

What the democracy of Europe thinks of tho
character of our struggle, has never been yet
forth moro clearly and more tersely than in the
admirable letter of Garibaldi to Abraham Lin.
coin, Emancipator Of slaves in the American
Republic" which may be found in the letter Of
our Turin correspondent.
If any man in Europe can speak in the nans
Of the whole Liberal and Progressive party it is
Garibaldi. No other man possesses to an equal
degree the love, and the admiration Of the trus
Democrats Of every country Of Europe. Our
own land has fully shared in the appreciation of
the eminent services, which Garibaldi has rem
dered to the cause Of Democratic Progress, and
even most Of the organs Of our so-called Demo-
cratic party have been in former days among
his warm admirers, though they might have
known, that man cannot worship at the Same
time Freedom in Europe and the Slave Power
America.
There is nothing more disgusting in the Ian
guage used by the organs Of the Slave Power
than the attempt to represent themselves as the
champions of civil liberty, and the Republicans
as the champions of despotic policy. Ii their
minds were yet open to truth, the simple fact
that every friend Of liberal progress outside Of
the United States sympsthizes with the present
Administration, and especially with its Emanci-
patton policy, and ehat the aristocrats and resc.
tonsts everywhere in Europe are enthusiastic
in favor Of the Southern Rebels and the NORTH
ern Copperheads, should open their eyes.

The claims, under $500, of sufferers OF the
late riots are under examination by the Board
of Supervisors at the rate Of twenty day.
There are said to be 1900 white claimants Of
this class, and over 1000 colored, making alto
gether about 5000. At the present rate ol
progress the Board will get through in about SIX
months. Justice, in many Of these cases, to be
effectual should be speedy, and relief postponed
for months may be no relief at all. The Board
We understand, has daily session OF only an
hour or two each day. Is there no other method,
either by referring these claims to Commission
or some better device, whereby speedcF result
can be obtained The city owes it TO these
poor people that the suferings they have already
undergone should not be aggravated by unne-
cessary delay.

HAMMOND GENERAL HOsPITAL.-" Hammond
General Hospital" is one oil the largest instItu-
tions Of the kind in this country. From Its iso-
lated situation but little notice has been taken OF
II. II Is situated on Point Lookout, Maryland, at
the Junction OF the Potomac river and ChesApeake
Bay, equidstAnt from Baltimore, Washington and
Fortress Monroe, and accessible to the largest
steamers. Point Lookout iH = narrow neck Of st..
MAry'a county, juttlng out into the water, In the
shape Of q boot, and varying In width from one
TO Ave hundred yards. II has long been celebrated
As = watering place, much ffeQuented by those re-
siding In this latitude and notable for Its pietr-
resque scenery, splendid bathing and fne fish and
oysters. large number OF cottages had been
built on the point before the rebellion broke out,
aud were owned mostly by Ylrglnians and Mary
lAnders living on the Potomac and Chesapeake,
whilst few OF the prominent residents Of Wash
lngton were also proPretors. AT the extremity OF
the point lighthouse was built some years ago,
which has been Of flnealeulAble benefit to mariners;
the abrupt bends 10 the river and extent OF shoals
rendering navigation hazardous without this bea-
con OF warning.
On the 4th of July, 1869, Surgeon General Ham.
mond having selected this point hospital site,
II was taken military possession Of and the cree
tlOn Of hospital buildings ordered.
In addition TO these there IL n larger building,
two stories In height used for administration pur-
poses. In the inner circle is II chapel, In which
weekly services are held. Bosides these wards
there are 100 cottages and hotel buildings, built
before the hospital was established, which have
been put in thorough order, and are now used for
hospital purposes. The new buildings cover a
space Of about fourteen acres, while the hos itaI
buildings entire occupy over hny acres. Outside
OF the cit cleA are two immense dining rooms. In
rear OF the buildings Is n fine grove, forming d
dense shade, and perfect protection against th I
heats Of summer.
The appearance presented By the Hammond
Hospital, whilst approaching It from the river, Is
very striking, and one could almost fancy himself
on the "GTeAt Father OF Waters" and Approa ching
one OF those Western towns which seem TO have
sprung up by magic.
The hospital buildings reach into the bay on one
side and the Potomac on the other, inauFng full
ahaTe Of whatever breeze may be stirring. Indeed
during the most severe heat Of summer the build.
ings are so constructed that constant dFAught OF
fresh air Is waited through every ward, while the
facilities for bathing, fishing, and all physical
amusements, such rs would interest iivalids, are
unsurpassed.
The hospital Is under the charge Of Doctor WaE-
ner, U. &. A., who organized the hospital and has

Mormon Treason,

The report Of Senator Wade, from the Com
Inittee on Territories, in answer to the resolu-
tion inqulring whether the message Of the Gov
ernor Of Utah has been suppressed by the Legls-
lature of that Territory, Is a scathing expose of
the theocratc and tyrannous character Of the
Mormon despotsm. The committee find that
the message, direct, plain, manly exposition
Of the legislative wants of that Territory, has
been so suppressed, and submits, therefore, a
resolution for the publication Of one thousand
copies of that document for distribution by the
Governor. It SCENE that no laws furnish any
redress for the Bocalled wives Of that Territory
that their polygamy Is so all-embracing as to
include indiscriminate cohabitation with a
mother and her daughters; that every ballot
cast by Utah "freemen" is numbered and regis,
tered with the names Of voters; that no expires,
sion of difference in opinion is tolerated, but
held as heresy or "Gentileism," and treated az
such. But one newspaper, and that an organ
Of the church, is tolerated in the Territory the
church rules the State In everything law is q
farce oyerridden by the dogmas of the churchi
the United States Government Is denounced
and its destruction prophesied. From the en-
tire report, the suppressed message, and al
official or other information, Utah Is shown tC
