will be dislodged from his present foot
hold on Morris Island. Our forces on
Morris Island are under tie command OF
Brigadier General Harrison, of Georgia,
most active and judicious officer. The
pickets on Norris Island are within few
hundred yards of each other, and the ene-
my's advance line is within some eight
hundred yards of Battery Wagner
Though Morris Island should fall, Charles
ton will yet have for its defence Forts
MOultrie and Beauregard, Castle Pinck-
ney, Forts Ripley and Johnson, an more
than all, the formidable obstructions that
barricade the harbor and guard the ap-
proach to the city.
Though all these should tail the feeling
of Charleston, we are assured, is, never
surrender! The people are united to a
man never to give up the city while one
brick rests upon another, and if the en-
my should succeed, by his superior force,
in taking the city, it will be only to find it
a mass of smouldering ruins. There never
was such determination among a people,
and the last man had rather see the torch
applied to his home by our own men than
it shall be polluted by the tread of the
vandals that now besiege that city, thirst
ing, as the panther does for his prey

Speculation Conccrning Gen. Lees
Eall Campaign.
Correspondence OF the New York Tribune
WASIUNGTON AuUJ,St 10 1Sf.

Correspondence OF the New York Tribune
WASHINGTON, August 10, 1868.
Although. there is at present no evidence
of an aggressive movement on the part of
Gen. Lee, still all the information received
directly from Richmond, and corrobo-
rated by the statements of deserters and
exchanged prisoners, tends to show that a
long time will not elapse before the rebel
commander, who is ROW getting ready
tor the tall campaign, will take the initia-
tive and push his columns forward
A gentleman of foreign birth, and hold
ing an official position in Richmond, writes
to his friend in this city, that the report
is current that Gen. Lee will shortly offer
battle to Gen Meade; and if that Gene
erai refuses to accept it, and falls back
under the protection Of the Notifications
of Washington, Gen. Lee will then invade
Maryland, where preparations have been
made by the secessiOnists of that State
to receive him, and to give him all the
assistance in men and money, arms and
provisions that they can procure.
This time Gen. Lee will avoid Pennsyl.
vania, upon which the Richmonders look
as a Northern State, hostile in principle
and in feeling to the South, while Mary
land, they hold, belongs to the South
Gen. Lees invasion will not have, how
ever, the permanent occupation of that
State for its object, but simply the selec-
ton of a field for battle where he can await
the approach of the Union army His aim
is rot to carry operations northward, but,
therefore, to take possession of Washing
ton, if the fortunes of war are in his favor
if not, he will fall back upon Richmond,
and will wait for the Unionists behind the
fortifications of that place
Notwithstanding his presence on the
Rappahannock, Gen. Lee is said to be or
ganizing secretly an army of reserve, the
location of Which will be either Winches-
ter or some place in the Shenandoah Val
ley. This army, to which all the con-
scripts passing through Richmond are
directed, vii be forty thousand strong.
The mission is not yet known, although it
is generally believed that it will have an
independent organization and a particular
task to perform. Gen. Longstreet is talked
of a. its most probable leader
All the rebel officers who were at Rich
mond on leave of absence, have gone back
to their regiments. The city, which was
full of them week ago, contains now no
others than citizens and invalids. 1t is also
reported that whole division, supposed to
have been detached from the Army of the
West, passed through Richmond during the
night of the 18th inst, to take part in the
o. erations of the fall campaign, whose
opening will take place, according to public
rumor, in the earlier part of September.

Charleston.
A REBEL VIEW OF TIE SIEGE.

From the Richmond Examiner, August 25
From private letter from Charleston
we gather the following items, which will
be read with interest at this time.
1t has been expected Tor week back
that Fort Sumter would fall under the con-
tinuous stream of shot and shell from the
enemy's ile-t-- one Of the most formidable
and powerful naval armadas ever known
to the world. The fort was under COM
mand of Colonel Rhett, most gallant Off
Ger, who did everything that lay within the
bounds of human power to make success
full defence The walls were protected by
piled tiers of sand bags in the inside some
twenty feet thick, the walls of the fort be-
ing six feet thick, thus making an obstruc-
ton of brick and sand of twenty-six feet {;
but even this could not stand the furious
and concentrated assault Of the enemy's
whole fleet. Nothing could be impregna-
ble to the tremendous missiles that have
poured on Fort Sumter for more than a
week. ..s.H.l. -r. -
With the fall of Fort Sumter it is thought
that the enemy will next attempt to carry
battery Wagner. This is a position on
Morris Island, directly facing the beach,
about mile and half, in an air line, be-
low Fort Sumter, and about four and half
miles below the city. Battery Wagner, a
strong work, constructed Of immense tim
bers and rafters, covered over with earth
and sand some twenty feet thick, and it
is thought it can stand any assault the
enemy may make. Besides Battery Wag-
ner. Morris Island has other defences.
Battery Gregg, on Cummings Point, about
three-quarters of mile from Fort Sumter,
Battery Bee on the south end of the ISL
and. 1t is moreover said, that the guns
erected by US on James Island will COM
mand Morris Island, and it is hoped, when

GRhTEA'S FORTUNE.

From Harpcr's Weollv, August %.
"Charles Everett, ---th New York ---,
shot through the Leart.'' -
The newspaper dropped from Gratla
Everett's nerveless hand as her eye met
that one line in the ghastly list OF 'Killed
and Wounded" and the blood receded
from her cheek, leaving it wliter than a
marble statue.
The morning sunshine lay on the purple
violet wreaths of the Administer carpet,
and glimmered over the gilded chars of
the dainty little apartment where the young
heiress sat at breakfast with her solemn
old goyerness. She was slight, fragile
little thing, with large, brilliant eyes, and
cheeks just tinted with tremulons pink,
like white roses stained with sunset, and
her dress, of snowy muslin, tied at the
waist with simple blue ribbons, seemed
exactly adapted to her pure childish love-
illness.
Mrs. Alaire took up the paper and
scanned the columns through her gold
spectacles.
"Charles Everett-so It is" she NUT
tered. "Gone at last, poor fellow. l
wonder what his wife and little ones will
do. You ought to help them q little,
Gratia.''
"Help them? Of course will! He
was my distant cousin, wasn't he, aunty /? ~
she asked, unconscously using the pet
name by which she had known her gov
erness for years.
Mrs. Allaire nodded her head.
"Your cousin, child-and your rival for
years."
"My rival, aunty? l do not under
stand!"
"Your rival in the :tfections Of old Col.
Everett, my dear. Ah, You may well look
surprised. You have been heiress to this
property ever since you were child, and
never knew how it came to you"
"Tell me about it, aunty," said Gratia,
setting down the tiny Sevres chocolate cup
and folding her little hands tightly to-
"There is not much to tell, Gratia, only
Charles was own nephew to Col. Everett,
while vou were but remote cousin. And
when Charles displeased his uncle by
marrying poor young girl in open def
ance of bis wishes, and the old man willed
all the property which was to have been
his nephew's to you, babe in the cradle,
there were plenty to declare it an act OF
gross injustice" >,

field, have long ago won for him an un-
dying name; and while he requires every
man to do his whole duty, he is kind to
those under him. His very appearance
indicates at once the "soldier and the
gentleman. One of the handsomest men
in the army, his military bearing is strik-
ing, and from his locks, tone, and man
ner, none, except, perhaps Mcclellan,
can inspire such wild enthusiasm among
his troops.
If one were to judge of what Hancock
does, by what he says, he would lever
know his deeds. His modesty is only
equaled by his energy and industry. Scorn-
ing politics, whatever he has gained in
promotion was the result of his own exer-
tions. Never criticising his superior's ac-
tions, his motto always is "obey Or
ders.''
As a brigade, division, or corps COM
mander, Hancock has worked harder and
fought harder than any other General in
the service. The highest compliment any
man can pay to himself is to emulate his
noble yet modest example.
There is nothing truer than the follow
ing "impromptu of friend, immedi-
ately after Gettysburg, viz:
AIR-"Bonnie Blue Fgag.''
Mcclellan is hero;
But Hancock is another:
A few more Generals such as these
This war will soon be o'er
Let's lift our caps to Hancock.
Oh may he soon again,
Be ready to command the corps
That proudly looks to him.
Hurrah, hurrah,
For the Second Corps hurrah;
Hurrah for its COmmandant,
The pride of Peace and War.

An officer in New Orleans recently received
a letter from his little daughter at home, ask
ing him to send her money with which to buy
a new bonnet, to which he replied as follows: ::
l would send you a kiss, dear daughter
As pure from fond fathers lips,
And as chastc rs the drop OF water
That fresh from an icicle drips:
But kisses thus sent in Il letter
Would lose all their sweetness for thee,
And know it would please thee far better
To receive Il few ''greenbacko" from me:
But as am hard up" and you not in need.
You will have to put up with the viii for the
deed:
| therefore send you this nice little sonnet,
Instead of the greenbacks to buy new bonnet.

WHO, AND WHENCE.

Not from Jerusalem alone,
To Heaven the path ascends;
As near, as sure. as straight the way
That leads to eternal day,
From further realms extends:
Fri%id or torrid zone
What matter how or when We start:
One is the crown to all:
One is the hard but glorious race,
Whatever be our starting place:
Ring round the earth the call
That says Arise, depart.
From the balm-breathing. sun loved isles
On the bright Southern sea.
From the dead Norti's cloud-shadowed
pole,
We gather tie one Sladsome goal
One common home in Thee,
City Of sun and smiles
The cold rough billow hinders none:
Nor helps the calm, fair main:
The brown rock of Norwegian gloom.
The verdure of Tahitian bloom,
The sands of Misraim's plain:
Or peaks of Lebanon.
As from the green lands of the viEe
So from the snow wastes pale,
We find the ever open road
To the dear city of our God:
From Russian steppe to Burnam vale:
Or terraced Palestine.
Not from swift Jor,lan's sacred stream
Alone we mount above:
Indus or Danube Thames or Rhone,
Rivers unSainted and unknown
From each the home of love
Bcckons with heavenly CLEAN.
Not from gray Olivet alone
We see the gates OF life:
From MOiven's heath. or Junglrau : snow
We welcome the descending glow
pearl and crysolite,
And setting sun.
Not from Jerusalem alone
The church ascenClS to God
Strangers Of every tongue and cline,
Pilgrims OF every land and time,
Throng the we-trotdcn road
That leads mp to the throne.

South Carolina harbor for our ships-of-war
and transports, and at the same time base of
