Special officer Long, with detachment of
the police force, last night made descent
upon 4 lot Of women In house On Mar.,Is
street, while they we're engaged in practIcing
the fetish rites known rs the youlou mysse-
ries. There were some thirty Of them in 8

dance around pot filled with all sorts Of
charms. When the officers made their ap-
never before seen. The nude 3orms Of swarthy
hags. dusfy-skiDned nymphs, and their white
allies, were seen rushing through all sorts Of
ape1tures III the vain effort to escape Some

but the officers succeeded in securing twenty,
among them tTo demure looking WlIte wo-
men, who hac been participating In the pagan
rites.
They were allowed to dress, and then
marched off to the police station. This
morning the whole party was brought before
Judge Hughes, on the charge Of "being en-
gagged In nm unlawtu2 assem6lage tor the pur-
Rose Of bringing down the curse Of our

every avenue Of approach, ana creating such
a disturbance that the Court was forced to Or
der their dispersal. There Is a great interest
taken in these African mysteries by our col

lytes among tho white women OF the city.
The lites are very curious, borrowed from the

General Sulis' expedition up the Missouri
to cooperate with General sibley seems like
" to prove failure. He was ut the new
Sioux agency, sixty miles above Fort Pierre,
on the 10Th Of July, awaiting the arrival Of
supplies. Low water prevented their being
brought up BY the r1yer, and they are being
transported By land. This occasions 50 much
delay that it will be impossible for him to
render General Sibley aid, as the latter has,
before this time, either met the Indians or
found that they have scattered so that 1t is
impossible to pursue them.
The next news from Gen. Sibley will prob
ably bling something decisive.

Clamors for the opening Of the Missis-

opened to our armed steamers, begin to
grow loud and fierce. We are sure that
the Secretary Of the Treasury will not bs

aor coaxed by any atfectionate appeals, so
as to do anything contravening the neces-
sites Of the military situation. Let the
Spectators wait. The rascality Of por-

one great e''trtpot for rebel supplies. From
It the enemy was furnished, we believe in

SIEGE OF CHARLESTON.

From numberlcss indications in the print
ed letters from tue army on Morris Island,
We take it for granted that the attempt to
reduce battery Wagner has been abandon
cd, and that an attack will be made from
the ground that our forces occupy on Sum-
ter itself. For this purpose, the heaviest
guns that are known to the service are be-
ing sent down and put: into position, and
We assume that enough Of them to hope
fully open the ball are ready for action.
The distance Of the present batteries from
the fort Isl mile and a qua1ter-not enough
to darken the anticipations that the artil-
le1ists there indulge Of being able to knock
the bricks and mortar Of the stronghold in
to confused and useless mass in less
than weeks time We shall see what
will happen; in the meantime our readers
will do well to believe that Charleston is
