FROM CHARLESTON.

Intelligence from Charleston is to the 4th inst.
The siege was then going on satisfactorily in
every respect, and all were confident of ultimate
success. The grand attack on Fort Sumter was
expected to open in the course of the week, the
preparations for it having been nearly complet-
ed. Buoys had been located for the Monitors,
and the position of the Ironsides was within five
hundred yards Of the fort. On Morris Island
the guns on the naval battery, which is the most
advanced one, were to be mounted on the night
of the Sd. The enemy were erecting batteries
on James Island to enfilade our positions, but
counter batteries were also erecting to command
them. On the Cd inst. five hundred rebels were
captured by four companies of "Les Enfans Per-
dus," on an island in the rear of Folly Island
Gen. Gilmore's troops had been strengthened by
the arrival of renforcements.

Yaneex a REGULAR sou,hsrnsr.

Aside from being one of the leaders of the
rebel movement, and thus devoted Southerner,
w. i. Yancey had other claims to be considder-
ed truth Southron. The New York Post saws
that it is singular fact that scarcely one of the
chiefs of the rebellion is without some stain on
his private character. John B. Floyd, while
Governor of Virginia, swindled his State out of
several thousand dollars in selling certain stocks
entrusted to him by the Legislature Benia-
min was in his youth a thief Slidell prostitu-
ted his influence as a Senator TO push through
Congress the Houmas land grant, one of the
most barefaced swindes ever perpetrated in this
country; Wigfall is a murderer; Letcher drunk
ard; Davis an impudent repudiator of debts;
Pickens ridiculous braggard; Yancey was
not an exception to the rule; he was a tried and
convicted murderer. While still living in South
Carolina, his native State, he had disagree
ment with his uncle, DIR. Earle, then living
near Greenville, and shot him dead, as the latter
was approaching the house on the verandah of
which Yancey was sitting He was convicted
imprisoned, and afterwards pardonsd by the
Governor Cleveland Leader.
No wonder the Buiternuts sympathse with
these Southern rascalsl A fellow feeling makes
them mutual friends.

What Does IL Mean9

One of our loyal citizens had copy of the
Smut Machine left at. his place of business, and
not wishing to have his premises defied by the
traitorous sheet, took it back to the printing Of
flee and told Bean that he did not wish to take
it. Bean, without any other remarks, said to
him: "YOu business men don't know where you
stand. You'll wake up some morning and find
your property all in ashesl" Now what does il
mean2 These threats have been made against
our citizens before9 Is it part of the Copper
head programme to burn the town. That men
who Persistently oppose suppressing the rebell-
ion and support for Governor of Ohio the con.
victed traitor, Vallandigham, are capable of re.
sorting to such acowardly act we have no doubt
But woe, zoe, WOE, to the leading Copperhead'
of this town should such a horrible act as tha
be attempted, much less be accomplished

In the course ofa full report, Admiral Porter
says:
81 have endeavored to do justice to all who
we're immediately engaged IN the struggle for
the mastery Of the Mississippi To the army
we owe immediate thanks for the capture Of
Vicksburg, but the army was much facilitated by
the navy, which was ready at all times to CO.
operate. This has been no small undertaking.
The late investment and capture Of Vicksburg
will be characterized as one of the greatest mill
tary achievements ever known. The concept
ion Of the idea originated with General Grant
who adopted course in which the great labor
was performed, great battles were fought, and
great risks were run. A single mistake would
have involved us in difficulty; but so well were
all the plans matured, so well were all The move.
ments timed, aud so rapid were all the evolu.
tions performed that no mistake has occurred
from the passage of the feet by Vicksburg, ant
the passage of the army across the river up tC
the present time. So confident was | of the
ability of General Grant to carry out his plans
when he explained them 10 me, that | never
hesitated to change my position from above to
below Vicksburg The work was hard, thu

"In forty days after our army landed, rebe
army of sixty thousand men had been captured
killed, and wounded, or scattered to their homes
perfectly demoralized, while our loss has beer
only about five thousand killed, wounded, anC
prisoners, and the temporary loss of one gun
boat. The Notifications and defences of the cit,
exceed anything that has been built in moderl
times, and are doubly unassailable from thei
immense height above the bed of the river"

CommIl no Nulsance.

Our English cousins are beginning to treat this
country as though they saw inscribed over it in
great letters, Rubbish shot here" 1t seems
that the criminal population of England isget-
ting troublesome; the jails are full; the reforHa-
tories full and the towns are full Of reform
ed" criminals who, under the name of ticket-o
leave men, are sent our from jails and reforma-
tories to rob and steal again. Recently numbers
of these pests pf society are said to have been
exported to this country.
Some ofour contemporaries are flying into a
disagreeable rage about this last British outrage
We advise them to keep cool. tbs not profita-
bic TO lose ones temper-especially in such
weather as this; and the less when we have il in
our power to take, presently, such exemplary
revenge upon John Bull, Let US only bde our
time; the day will come when the per6dious Bull
will beg as humbly to forget and forgive this
last outrage upon that noble bird, the American
Eagle.
When that time comes we shall say to Eng
land; "You sent us thieves-now we send you
Floyd You sent us swindleTs--now we send
you jeff Davis; you sent us hurglars-now we
send you Thompson; you sent us coarse bullies
now we send you TOombs; you sent us vile
drunkards--now we send you Letcher; you
sent us highwaymen--now we send you John
Morgan; you sent us beasts who beat their wives
NOW we send you wretches who whip and in :
decently expose the wives of other men,"
Then will John Bull cry out that his punish
ment is greater than he can bear

FROM COLUMBUS.

Columbus, August 7.-One hundred and
twenty three of Morgans officers have been
sent from Johnson's Island to Harrisburg, for
incarceration in the Pennitentiary there. Gov.
Tod ordered John Morgan and his men confined
here to be furnished with vegetables, DC, and
also newspapers and paper and ink, which, to-
gether with the privileges they now enjoy, would
make their Imprisonment somewhat better than
it would be at Camp Chase. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Merton, the Warden, is indisposed to
treat John so cleverly. -Four hundred and fifty
rebels from Kentucky were lodged in Camp
Chase prison to-day.
The colored regiment at Camp Delaware now
numbers 4l0 men. 1t will soon have 640 when
it will be ordered South. The organization OF
the State militia will be completed next week.
General Hill has been unceasing in his efforts to
secure perfect organization, and be will, no doubt
perfectly succeed. The camps of instruction, of
which there will be nine, will commence the
latter part of this month and continue -four
weeks. Three will be in operation at the same
time.

five years, and know him to be a good man and

in the Reflector office, at Norwalk and for the
last ten years has been the editor and proprie.

VALLANDIGHAM-A correspondent writing
from Niagara Falls, says he overheard Valland-
igham and friend talking over matters, in
which the martyr said his expenses after he was
turned loose into rebeldom till he reached the
Falls,were only twenty seven dollars-fOr which
he had travelled through Secessia, to Bermuda,
to Canada and through the cities of Quebec,
Montreal,etc. He said the Landlord of the Cliff
ton House did not charge him anything, being
remunerated by the extra custom on his account.
This is nice thing to live so well off martyr
dom not half ripe in this way. But is is worth
the inquiry who did pay his expenses beyond
the S21. In the South he was a guest Of the
rebels. To Bermuda he may have had free
passage. From there to the Falls he must still
have been the guest of-whomH Clearly the
enemies of the country, such as rebel refugees
and rebel sympathizers in the British domin-
ions. Are the people of Ohio prepared to vote
Iora man for Governor who lives upon the boun-
ty of our enemies, and traitors in armsH If he
was not valuable to the enemy would they show
him such favors. 2--Ashtabilla Sentinel.

A DIfforenco of opinion.

Many Of our readers approve of our course in
showing up the lying and traitorous conduct of
Bean, but some seem to think that it is a waste
of powder They argue that there are not do
zen men in the county but know that Bean
is poor, miserable liar entirely devoid of char
ncter, and beneath the contempt of all men,
That any notice we may take of him only gives
him little notoriety, whereas otherwise he
would sink into Oblivion. One of our friends
related to us the anecdote of Rev. -
who was tried for heresy. On his trial, there
was young Minister who consumed more time
in talking than any other two Ministers present
and who was withal extremely bitter against
him. To this TRADE of the young man he made
no reply, which somewhat astonished his friends
who asked him his reason for not doing so Mr.
---replied that he once had an encounter
with skunk, and cast whole volume at it, and
then come off second bestl We acknowledged
the cogency of the application of the anecdote
but remarked that it was necessary sometimes
to even kill skunks So in regard to Bean. AL
though we expect to be traduced villiied, and
lied about by him, we are determined to show
him up in all his hidiousness, that not only tho
Union men of the county may know the charac-
ter of the editor of the Smut Machine, but also
that those who care to know of his own party
may be informed

Trick that Xyon,t win.

The last Smut Machine gives an account of
some little boys taking butternut breastpin
from the bosom-of the dress of Miss Tice on
Tuesday of last week, and says that "some black
hearted Abolition scoundrel" urged them TO do
it. The whole thing was trick of the butter
nuts, and was concocted on purpose to make po-
ltical capital for them. The arrangement was
that the young lady in question was to wear
the pin into.town, when the buttcrnuts would
entice some little boys to take it off, and Bean
would blazen it forth as a great Union outrage.
This was coroberated by the maid herself, who
remarked to the bystanders "to wait until FRI
day and you Union men will catch helll' This
remark showed that there had been an arrange
ment with Bean, and that he understood wha
part he was play. But such little tricks won't
win. 1t is probably proper for us to state, that
WIN. Barkhimer, Union man, witnessed the
operation, and recovered the pin from the boys
and restored it to the beautiful young lady.

Terms of Peace.

Some journals talk about arranging terms of
peace with the rebels-as though, in order to a
cessation Of war, it was necessary to treat with
the rebels, and thus acknowledge and recognize
them as power But we are not at war with
nation-we are defending our national life
againsta set ofinsuigents who took up arms and
made war against our government and laws
The only way in which that war can cease is by
the rebels throwing down their arms, returning
to their homes, and submitting to the laws
When they do that, hoslilities stop at once
Under our system Of government there is no oc-
casion for treaties or arrangements; for when
ever the Tebels--eonvineed Of the hopelessness
Of their bad cause-are no longer willing to fight
cease to fight, and disband their armies, that
moment the supreme law Of the land will again
be observed in the whole country, and peace
will be restored. No doubt the rebels would
be most happy to @treat" with Us. Mr.. Ste
phens and Mr.. Onld were quite ready to come
to Washington the other day. Their reception
would have been the best recognition they could
have, and this little ruse of Davis would, had it
been successful, have entitled Napoleon at once
to srecognize the Southern Confederacy," and
justify the act by our own conduct. The reply
made to Mr.. Stephens was eminently wise aud
proper. @rhe customary agents and channels
are adequate for all needful military communi-
cation aud conferences between the United States
forces ADD the insurgsnts.~-N r. Poa

NotofThenl.

We notica that such papers as the New York
Herald the Rochester Union and Detroit Free
Press are disposed to take Gen. Meade under
their patronage. The same papers are vigor-
ously urging the Government to improve the
present opportunity to negotiate a peace. To
show how little Gen. Meade sympathizes with
them in this respect, we have only to refer to his
letter to the New York Union League, in April
last, in which he says:
"It is and should be the undoubting and un-
hesitating duty of every citizen of the Republic
to give his whole energies and to contribute all
the means in his power, to the determined pros
ecution of the war, until the integrity of the Gov
ernment is re-establshed and its supremacy ac-
knowledged."
