The latest news from Charleston is con-
tanned in the following, from Washington,
August 10th: A dispatch was received this
morning by the Government, dated on the
18th, from distinguished military officer
in Tennessee. stating that the Chattanooga
Rebel of the l4th inst. announced that the
bombardment at Charleston began on the
18th, and that the firing from GilmoTe's
land batteries, and from the monitors, was
chiefly against Fort Sumter. The combined
land and naval forces of the Federals seem
to be engaged. The information published
in the Rebel was received at Chattanooga by
telegraph from Charleston, and the fight
was going on wien the paper went to press,
on Sunday. The officer who communicat-
ed to the Government the contents of the
Rebel, says the editor, instead Of making
any boasts about the results, or mauifesting
the least jubflant feeling over the situation
of affairs at Charleston, exhibits the most
positive evidence of gloom. The Rebel states
that the Ironsides and all the monitors were
not only in the action, but that the whole
feet and large number Of transports were
inside the bar.
Disclosures have been made. showing the
completely of Gov. Seymour and others with
the rioters. 1t is thought Gov S. will not
persist in the course into which he was be-
guiled by the Woods and their party.
Nothing from Blunt. The report bro't
from Fort Scott, that he is falling back, is
untrue. He expects fight soon with 5000
rebels.
The Washington Republican of the 18th
announces the greatest activity in the Poto-
mac army, Indicating a change of base, and
intimates that the policy of the Government
will be to hold the army of the Potomac in
strong defensive position while the war is
vigorously prosecuted elsewhere.
A dispatch from New York says: Gen
Candy has issued circular, and Gov. Sey
mour a proclamation in regard to the ap-
preaching draft Both state that all rioter
or unlawful assemblages will be put down
by the full force of the State and General
Governments.
