WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1868.
THE NEWS.
The Philadelphia rumors are Of the nat
te1n Of Jona1l's gourd. They perish in q
night The one started yesterday died
peacefully at early candle ight. It man
aged IN its short life to set the country on
fire with the rumor Of the fall Of Sumter,
and thcn-=felli itself. Let its epitaph be
"Herc lies reporter who cares more for
sensation than for truth" We shall have
Sumter presently. Let everybody remem-
hcr Richmond aud keep cool Lay in the
rockets and Roman candles, for the Eal1
of Charleston is decrced, but don't touch
1hcm OF prcmaturely, and don't take fire
from Philadelphia. At present writing Il
l. m.) VIC are not prepared to deny that
Charleston has not surrendered, but the
story now rests solely On the word of Capt
Chisholm at Fortress Monroe, whose rep
ntation for truth and veracity are as un-
known to us as the facilities he enjoys for
making up IN opinion The rebel dispatch,
By way Of Richmond, to the effect that on
Monday, the 24th,- Sumter was a heap Of
ruins, and that the shells were beginning
TO drop in upon the city, we are disposed
TO give full crcdence to. As Sumter is but
three and three e-eights miles from Charles
ton, Admiral Dalghren can get up at that
easy range, a very lively representation Of
Sodcm and Gomor1ah, in behalf Of q city
than which not another before SO richly de-
served a birthstone visitation. VIC give
elsewhere an interesting letter from an oc-
casional correspondent with the feet, writ
zen from the Catskin the day Of the sad dis
:aster which cost the life OF its lamented
commander.
Pennsylvania is being made ready for
defense against the possible impending
visitation Of Lee in the shape Of great
cavalry raid. Thcrcbel commander means
mischief, and Gov. Curtin does not desire
10 be caught mapping. He proposes to
have ready force of $4,000 cavalry min
ute-men, and give the rebels a reception
on the border.
The news from Kansas shows our forces
in hot pursuit Of Quannel's gang. Kansas
is arming, and Ter indignant SONS will
make that part Of Missouri too hot tor the
participants in the Lawrence butchery.
Quantrel is doomed man, and his Neme-
sis is after him. Remember Lawrence"
will be the war-cTy Of Kansas loyalists,
until the record is washed out in rebel
blood. It will prove dark and bitter day
Tor all Of Quantrel's horde, that which was
stained with the atrocity whose czpiation
they cannot escape.
The municipal subcommittee have been
waited on by the managers Of the Chicago
Museum, to contract for the delivery at
their 1ooms, alive, or dead, or in Qow)
spirits, Of the very large fles these gentle
men found in their ears as the sole result
Of their mission to tho enrolment officers
in this city. Strangely enough, these Off
<ials declined to acknowledge that the ju-
1isdictlon Of Alderman Roberts and his
comrades was quite concurrent with that
Of the Provost Marshal General They
simply looked over their list to see TINT
the committee themselves were duly en-
rolled, and then advised them that was all
they had to do with the matter. Hence
the labored report; hence the laborious
1smcs;: here beginneth the labor Of the Cop
Ierhcad mountain from which they will
seek to produce nu&s. But precedcnts
are against them, and the scheme will fail.
The draft will 60 off quietly in Chicago,
and the municipal subcommittee will be
forgotten. Some Of them seem to have
forgot themselves already.
It is said that Brigadier General Tuttle,
Of Iowa, is coming to Chicsgo for medical
treatment His OWL folly has put him be-
yond the reach Of political surgery. The
indignation in the army is intense that he
should come home from leading loyal men,
and put himself ut the head Of enemies Of
The Union. They declare he WIGS bribed,
and it is So. He was bought up by the
lure Of the Governorship Of Iowa Let
loyal Iowa sec to it TINT such moral weak
ness be dttingly rebuked.
