important Military Success,

The report that the rebels have
evacuated Norris Island, is fully con-
firmed 10y rebel dispatches from
Charleston, and the cheering news
reaches us from Rosecrans' army that
the rebels have evacuated Chattanooga,
and that our forces arc now in pos
session of that important stronghold
the last held by the rebels in East
Tennessee. We also have news of
the defeat of Prices rebels in Arkan-
sas, by Gen. Stcel's forces, and the
capture of their entertainments at Bay
on Metairc.
The possession of the whole of Nor
ris Island, giving us Fort Wagner and
the Cummings Point battery Gregg,
with Fort Sumpter eflcctually sienced.
and probably ere this captured. I'm
portant Roadway has been made to-
ward the capture of Charleston.
James Island and Sullivan's, with
their strong batteries, will not receive
the attention Of Gen. Gilmore and
Admiral Dahlgren. 1t is supposed by
military men that the works that have
now been taken are but the stepping
stone to the diffic ultes yet to he SUI
mounted before the city can be cap
tnred. This success is important as
Indicating that material progress is
making, and that the ultimate fall Of
Charleston is inevitable.
The capture of Chattanooga by Rose
Grams is even more important in its
military bearings than that Of Morris
Island. 1t opens the door for General
Rosecrans' army to enter into the very
heart Of the rebellion. Chattanooga
and Knoxville lost to the rebels, leaves
them no alternative but to abandon
the last vestige of their possession Of
East Tennessee, and that entire State
ia now effectualIy reclaimed 10y the
Government. Our forces can now
march into the heart of Alabama and
Georgia and finish the military pre-
tentions Of the rebels in Bragg's de-
partment.
The armies Of the Government are
gradually but surely getting the bet
ter of the rebellion. Its limits are be-
coming narrower almost daily, and ere
long We shall have the unspeakable
pleasure of hearing that every revolt,
ed State is once more under the con-
troll Of the Federal authorities, and
that the rebellion has indeed been
completely suppressed.

Letters from Fort Ambercrombic
dated August 3lst, state that part.
Of twenty.four miners with woman
aud child, were attacked when nea
the place where Sibley drove the In
dams across as they came down tn,
Missouri on fat boat from the Idaho
gold mines. After a desperate figh
the whole party of whites were killed
except the little child and that was
taken prisoner. Thirty men were kill
cd in the engagement. The news
was brought 10y half breed Sioux
and was considered reliable at the
fort. The whole body of Indians that
Sibley drove over the river are said
to have been driven back by hostile
Indians to this side, and are now re.
turning to their old place near Devil
Lake, where they intend TO pass the
winter.
Standing Buffalo and seven other
chiefs were anxious for peace, and
were willing to deliver their partici.
pants in the massacre of last year,
but were afraid to surrender them
selves to the expedition. Gen. Sui
ly, with his cavalry force, has orders
to push on after hostile Sioux. He
has supplies sufficient to last until the
middle of November. 1t is the
intention to forward supplies SO that
he can winter with his force on the
Missouri river. Little Crows son is
being tried at Fort Ambercrombie.
Sibley's force is SLOWLY retreating.
The news of the killing of twenty
four Salmon river miners on the Mis-
souri,, by Indians, reached Gen. Sib-
ley through Standing Buffalo. In
fight the Indians lost thirty men.
The Sioux had crossed back to this
side of the river in very impoverish-
ed condition, and intended wintering
at Devils Lake. They were driven
over by nnfriendly Teton Indians.
Standing buffalo represents that
seven chiefs are DESTROYS of making
peace, and willing to give up the mnr.
aeiers Of last summer. Rev. Mr.
Riggs, who writes this news, adds
that, if this can be accomplished, we
may look with hope to speedy set

river after Indians, returned TO Fort

having failed in their expedition Ow-
ing to want of forage, they could only
make ten miles day. their horses
were SD weak and their ratons hav-
ing given out.
The Sioux who have arrived at Penn
bina, report that they drove Gen. Sib-
ley back from the Missouri, and the
impression prevails here that the ex-
petition is in full retreat before the
conquering Sioux.

From Charleston

The Richmond Enquirer of the Sti
Contains The following, dated Charles
ton the It'll:
Morris Island was evacuated ycsier
day afternoon. The enemy had adj
vanced their sappers up 10 the mouth
OF Wagner, and il being impossible
to hold it, Beauregard ordered its
evacuation, which took place at noon.
The enemy hold Cummings Point in
full view of the city.
Heavy firing is now going on be.
tween our batteries on Snllivan's Is.
land and Fort Moultrie and the Mont
tors.
The following is from the Richmond
Wing of the Sih, dated Charleston
the 7th ...
The bombardmcnt was kept up with
ont intcrmission all day yesterday and
far into the night. About $50 Of our
men were killed and wounded at bat
teries Wagner aud Gregg The at.
tempt to assault battery Gregg was
repulscd before the enemy had compile
ted their landing. Great havoc is
supposed TO have been made in the
enemy's boats 10y our grape and can
mister.
At dark on Wednesday, the enemy
having advanced their sappers up to
the very mouth of Wagner and it be-
ing impossible to bold the Island
longer, Gen. Beauregard ordered it's
evacuation, which was executed be-
tween s r. NJ. and | A. NJ, with success.
We spiked the guns of Wagner and
Gregg aud withdrew noislessly in 40
barges. Only one barge containing

CHARLESTON, Sept. 7th.
At noon. dispatch from Major
Stephen Elliott, commanding at Fort
Sumpter, announces that flag of
truce demanding the immediate sur
render of that fort has just been re-
ceived from Admiral Dahlgren by
Lieut.. Brown of the Palmetto State.
Gen. Beauregard has photographed to
Major Elliott to reply to DahIgren
that he can have Fort Sumpter when
he takes it, and that in the meantime
such demands are unbecoming.
At SP. NJ, the Ironclads and Moni-
tors approached Fort Sumpter closer
than usual, and opened a hot fire
against it. Our batteries on Sulivan's |
Island, including those of Fort Moul-
trie, replied heavily, and the firing is
still going on.

From the National Inte1ligenee.

When America was first discovered it
was found inhabited, every where, by the
heather red man. At st. Salvador, j ames-
town and Plymouth Rock he presented him
self. He was then sole owner and occupier
of the continent. In process of time the
white man brought another heather race
the black man, Of Africa--whom he en-
shaved and compelled to labor and perform
his drudgery. Nearly two centuries have
elapsed since these two heather races were
thus brought face to face upon the Western
world. At that time the red man spread
over the entire continent. The black man
mum bered but about two thousand souls
The red man-tall, erect, quick, and alert
was treated by the whites as worthy TO be a
freeman, the black man-sow sluggish, in
different, and awk ward-as only worthy to
be a slave Contrast these two races now.
The red man, free in name, and with many
proffered advantages for improvements saw
age and heather still, has been driven steI
by step from his hunting grounds and the
grave of his fathers, until his Numbers have
dwindled down to less than three hundred
thousand souls. The black man, on the
contrary, though in slavery, has wonderfully
improved in knowledge, christianity, anc
civilization, ard now mum bers four mllnoi
souls. The free red man has done rothln;

black man, through the ordeal of slavery
has so wonderfully increased in number
