THE WAR NEWS.

We have little to add to the full report OF
the Charleston fight published by US yesterday
morning in an Extra TRIBUNE. The Navy
Department has received merely brief mem.
orandum from Admiral Dupont. The reports
of the various commanders had not been pre-
pared previous to the leaving of the dispatch
boat. Richmond papers Of Saturday have moth
ing from Charleston later than the 9th Thurs
! day.. The feet was then of the bar. Our
Washington correspondent says that the result
is not considered discouragng by Government
officers, but, on the contrary, they think the
precise knowledge gained of the Instructions to
be overcome, is such that a future attempt
cannot fail of success.
Our latest news from Newbern is to Thurs
day. Gen. Foster and his little band of 200
men was yet beleaguered at Washington, aud il
was expected that he would have to surrender
for the want of provisions. The transport
Northerner left Newbern on the 7th with 800
men of Spinola's brigade to his assistance, by
way of Tar River and, meeting a number of
Rebel batteries on the river was forced to re.
turn. On the 9th a force of 5000 men left
Newbern to re-enforce Gen. Foster but meet
ing q superior number of Rebels, also returned
to Newbern to protect that place. Rumors have
been current at Fortress Monroe that Foster
had been captured, but they are not authenti.
Gated. II is almost certain, however, that he
will DO compelled to surrender.
III our New-Orleans news is @ story that
Admiral Farragut is in the Red River, be.
tween the two batteries, out Of the range of
botb, but unable TO pass either OF them. II is
further stated that Admiral Farragut sent a
messenger to inform Gen. Banks of his posi-
ton, but the messenger was captured and held
prisoner in the hands of the Rebels. The
story is decidedly improbable A New-Orleans
ie'ser says that troops are being got ready on
'no west side Of the Mississippi for the pur-

THE RIGHT TO wOIK.

This city was disgraced yesterday BY mob
A few unoffending colored laborers on the
wharves were suddenly attacked BY two or
three hundred vagabOnd Irishinen, and before
the police could be collected in sufficient
strength to interpose, number had been
wounded, and pistols had been used in self
defense. After the arrival Of toe police, which
seems to have been tolerably prompt, the riot
ers made desperate attack on them, endeav-
ording to seize aud lynch negro who had
been arrested for his own safety, but tho negro
was protected, and the mob speedily quelled
1t was the natural climax of the persistent
effort of the Pro.Slayery press OF this city to
strengthen the prejudices, and embitter the
hate of it's readers, and the rest Of the most
ignorant part Of the populace against the
negro. The rioters may have been stupid
enough to believe the malignant falsehoods
industriousIy repeated Of late, that white men
were to be cheated out of work by an mmi-
grafton of negroes; but in the light OF this
result what shall be said Of the men who in
vent such stories' They must accept the re-
sponsiblity for the outrages which they en-
deayour to provoke, but lack courage to COM
nit This mob had its source just where the
Detroit mob originated, in tho insane and
inhuman bigotry which seeks to prescribe
race because Of its color.
If 'lougshoremen or any other class of labor
ers do not choose to work with negroes they
need not. No law compels them. But the
negro, as well as the white man, has a
right to work for whoever will employ and
pay him, and the law, and courts, and police,
and public opinion ought to protect him in that
right, and will. Dislike the negro if you must
but he and you equally are under the law
which expects your obedience, and will require
it. by force, if necessary. This is not Rich
mond, but New-York-a fact which seems to
be occasionally forgotten, and here at least the
negro is q citizen, with rights which white
men are bound to respect

Our special correspondents account of the
great naval contest at Charleston, which we
printed in an Extra early yesterday morning,
will be found in full in other columns. 1t is
complete and admirable description, and is
especially valuable because it is the account
of an eyewitness. Its author shared the
perils OF the conflict which he describess on
board the New Ironsides, the flagship Of
Admiral Dupont and is the only correspondent
who was with the feet during tho engagement
The assertion in morning paper Of yester-
day, previously to the reception of any account
except by telegraph, makes it proper for us to
add that our correspondent with difficulty OBJ
tanned permission from Admiral Dupont to as
sumo bis perlOus station. When, however, it
had been granted him, the Admiral with con.
siderate courtesy extended the offer to the
other representatives of the press, but they
unanimously declined it, and no one of them
witnessed the contest, except at safe die.

Here is one of the chivalrous acts OF our
"Southern brethren" which the Rebel oympa'

Union bark Pursuit was at Tampa Bay, tior-
ida. three men disguised as women appeared on
the the shore with white flag, and made
signals of distress. A boat with ten men and
an officer went from the bark to their assist
ance. When they landed, so or 60 men rose
up from the bushes and fred on the men IN
the boat, wounding some Of them. Now II the

Private adyices received at Washington rep
resent that the Rebels under Longstreet as
sumed the offensive on Saturday, near York
town. They attacked Gen. Keyes's division,
but we're repulsed, and fell back to Williams
burg. No particulars are given, and tho whole
story needs confirmation. At the same time
the Rebels near Suffolk began to make threats,
and rumors of fighting began to circulate, 1t
is supposed that these demonstrations are for
the purpose of preventing the sending of relief
to Gen. Foster.
Slowly and with hating steps our Generals

ALMOST AN ESCAPE OF TIE MUIR
DERER OF EDWARD HALE.-On Mon
day last when the jailor, Mr.. Wessner,
entered the prison with the dinner for
Ward, the supposed murderer of Hale,
being nnarmed, and the prisoner having
freed himself from his shackles, ceolly
turned to the door and informed the
jailor that he was going to leave. Be
ing much the stoutest man, he found
no difficulty in so doing, but in his
hurry he left the door open, SO that the
jailor could follow him. lie started for
the woods, and the .jailor followed,
shouting "stop the prisoner" VIM.
Wilson and George G. Green immedi-
ately started IN pursuit, and soon over
took him, and without opposition con-
veyed him back to jail. If he had
locked MIR. Wessner in when he left,
which he might easily have done, he
could undoubtedly have made good his
escape Waatsau Wisconsin. .:. .-.

LETTER FROM JOHN G, WHITE

LETTER FROM JOHN G. WHITTIER
AT late Union meeting of citizens
of all parties in Amesbury, Mass, a let
ter was read from the poet Whittier,
from which we extract the following
passage:
II regard it as of the utmost impor-
tance that, in this hour of trial, men of
all parties should remember only that
they are American citizens. The life
of the country is at stake, and however
We may continue to call ourselves, there
are really but two parties,-the party
of loyal men and the party of traitors.
For myself, I can say in all sincerity,
that I am more than ever ready to lay
aside all mere party feeling and preju-
dice I may have entertained, and act
cordially with any aud all loyal men
who are willing to meet with me. At
a time like this, we owe undivided al
legiance to our country. We were
American citizens before we were Re-
publicans OF Democrats-and it mat
ters little who is in or out of office, So
that the country is saved"

J. Smith's) Division, 18th (Ord's) Ar
my Corps. l remained with it a week,
during all of which time l was kept
busily at work. I had a classmate
about quarter of mile from me, whom
l did not see. 1t was not the distance
which prevented me SO much as the
direction. He was in Vicksburg, being
Captain of Virginia Battery, which
bore exactly on the spot where I was
at work. l guess that he did not know
that l was there, Judging from the
careless manner in which he threw his
iron in my direction. Solid shot and
shell passed over my tent more or less
every day, and several shot dropped
unpleasantly near us. Along the whole
of our line our picket line was being
constantly pushed forward. Rifle pits
were being dug all the time by fati igue
parties, in zig-zag direction, SO that
every day our pickets were neare, the
rebel works than on the previous day.
The proximity Of the hostile pickets to
each other is illustrated by the follow
ing incident. One day one of our pick
cts saw rail lying few yards beyond
the pit which he was in, and resolved
to possess himself Of it to put on top of
the earth thrown up in front of his pit.
Accordingly in the middle of the night,
when he supposed the rebels were all
asleep, he crawled out on his hands and
knees, and got hold of the rail. He
was about to start back with it, when
he noticed that it was fast, and looking
up, he saw through the darkness, the
dim outline of rebel picket who had
hold of the other end ofthe rail. Each
started for his rifle pit at once. Several
cases reached me where the Federal
and rebel pickets had come out by
agreement and played cards together.
Before l left our picket line was so far
advanced that hand grenades were
used. The rebels would sometimes
light the fuses of shells and throw at
our soldiers, and often our brave boys
would pick them up, and throw them
back to explode within their own lines.
All day long would our pickets watch
for the appearance Of the head of
rebel over his rifle pit or on the fortifi-
cations beyond. Thus the rebel bat
teries were kept silenced during the
day, though about dusk they would
open with considerable activity. One
evening just after dark, our pickets
observed a fire within the rebel lines.
They directed their fire toward it with
considerable effect, when one of the
rebels shouted out in snpplicatory
voice 90, Yanks, stop your firing!
1he lst Nississ!pzoi has got coffee for
sapper!' 1t was probably the first time
that the poor fellows had had any cof-
fee for long time, and they were Justly
indignant at being interrupted in their
enjoyment of it. PIP.
