Latest News From Charleston.


Particulars of Two Battle S.
New YORK, July 26.-We are indebted to
the Herald for the following account Of the
operations near Charleston, received by the
Arago -
On the 10Th the rebels attempted to drive our
forces from James island. Their attack was
sudden and unexpected; but Gen. Terry met
and repulsed them with great slaughter. The
gunboat Pawnee, which supported the left
flank, grounded, and rebel battery opened
upon her, firing about fifty shot, thirty-nine
of which hit her. Subsequently she tloated
off and opened upon the rebels, putting them
to flight. Our casualties were small and the
rebels were taught lesson they will not soon
forget.
The bombardment OF Fort Wagner was re-
newed on the evening of the 22d, the IRON
cads cooperating with the army. During
the day Fort Wagner was silenced for some
time, and the colors shot away. New Union
batteries were opened upon the rebels, doing
great execution.
LATER.-A charge was made upon Fort
Wagner, and our troops after a desperate
struggle were obliged to fall back, which they
did in excellent order and held their I'D posi-.
ton. The loss on our side was quite severe;
but our total loss in killed, wounded and miss
ing since the 10th inst, is only about 1000.
The 4Sth New York lost about 250 men, and
only three officers escaped unframed. The
Catskill was struck over 80 times, but is all

The InteIIigcncer on Cooperative Fam
nticismS.

The deeds of blood and rapine and outrage
visited upon the heads of inotfensive negroes,
were the offspring not only of native depravity
on the part of the rioters, but were begotten
bv the promiscuous union of two equally de-
piorable fanatic sms-one of which panders to
caste by intensifyng a vulgar prejudice
against a despsed race, and the other of
which makes the welfare and elevation of this
race the be-all-and-end- OF its political ac-
tiyity and social aspiration. -NationGt Intet-
ligeacer.
The extraordinary patience and fortitude OF
the colored people in the midst of persecution
has had the effect to elevate them a little in
the eyes of men who never before had a
thought of doing them justice 1t is so much
gain for 1.-THE despsed race, who ought 10 be
correspondingly grateful. By-and-by the
same men may be willing to make another
concession in favor of the ''fanaticism" which
has ministered to their welfare and elevation
in the face of the vulgar prejudice that has
crushed them since they had residence on
this continent. For it is at once absurd and
false and mean to hold as equally blameahle
the generous philanthrophy which has always
ameliorated the condition OF the black men,
and the bloodthirsty hatred that has outraged
and murdered them. Manifestly there are
two ways of dealing with this great question
Of race. One is for the stronger to hold the
weaker in perpetual bondage, in all things
subject to its caprice and obedient to its con-
troll. That has been the central idea of the
slave power from the beginning; and in its
interest the slave power rebelled. The
other way is for the stronger race
to contribute something to ''the welfare
and elevation" of the weaker, till they are
able to bear their share of the worlds burdens
free from interference and without help.
That has always been and is still the central
idea of the anti-slavery sentiment. When the
rebellion broke out, democrats aud everybody
who till that moment had been in social and
political utilization with its contrivers, caught
up the infamous lie that the anti-slavery infu-
ences were equally guilty. And though the
events of the war have amply vindicated anti,
slavery sentiment and labor, it is a favorite
falsehood with some of them still. Though
nearly worn out, the dignifed and conserva-
tive Intelligencer takes it up for service on
moralizing about the riot; and while conceed-
ing some natural deprayity on the part of the
rioters-rioters who begun with resisting a
salutary and necessary law for the defence of
the government and ended with every ex-
travagance of robbery, and persecution, and
murder-it divides their guilt with men who
believe in the draft who support the govern
ment, and befriend the prosecuted against the
hatred Of their pursuers. Fortunately the
time has passed for so monstrous injustice SO
self-evident absurdity, to do its intended

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.
LATEST REPORTS ABOUT LEE.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Advices from the
headquarters OF the army of the Potomac, re-
ceived tonight, say that during the past week
our troops have not been idle, but by close
scrutiny of Lees movements, have by rapid
marches succeeded in battling his several at
tempts to enter Eastern Virginia, and fore
stalled his attempted possession Of the gaps Of
the Blue Ridge.
1t is generally believed that Leeis now mov-
ing rapidly toward Staunton by the Shenan-
doah Valley. He tried successfully Snick-
er's, Ashby's and Manassas gaps, but found
strong Unionforce already there. A. the two
last named places he was driven back with
loss At Chester gap our cavalry recaptured
HOO of the cattle stolen by the enemy and
several hundred sheep. a large number of
horses have also been recovered.
Several brisk skirmishes have taken place.
With the exception of cavalry engagements
the principal fight occurred Thursday eve
ming between Linden and Front Royal, in
which brigade of rebel infantry (probaby

town. The cavalry have done great service
The commands have performed arduous
marches and reconnoisances, and completely
foiled Stewart in all his attempts to raid on
our flank and rear. Mosby's small but ener-
getic bands have alone given us trouble, prin-
cipally by cutting of foraging parties and
messengers
private of the cavalry reports that on
Friday, as division of cavalry was recon-
noitering in the vicinity of Aminville, large
column of rebel infantry was seen advancing
in that direction, and our cavalry were com
PEELED to fall back. This force is supposed to
be Longstreet's corps. Up to Saturday night,
however, this report had not been confirmed.

The FACT AocoMPLIsHED.-Th dispatches
briefly noticed Saturday the arrival of the
steamer Imperial at New Orleans from ST.
Louis-the first arrival since the fall of Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson and the consequent
re-opening Of the Mississippi. Her arrival
settled all doubts as to the fate of the rebel
fOrtresses, and filled the hearts of the loyal
residents of New Orleans with enthusiasm
and delight The river has been practically
closed for two years and half-the first YES
sci stopped uponlt waters having been fired
upon at Vicksburg on the 18th of January,
1861. Her late re-opening to the trade and
commerce of the northwest was god-send to
the honest people OF the Crescent city, who
throngcd about the new ship as if she had
been the messenger Of the best tidings that
could be brought to them-as no doubt she
was. Two days after her arrival the Imperial
started on her return trip, carrying a portion
of the nine months troops, whose terms have
expired, to their homes by way of Cairo and
St. Louis. They were among tie forces
which accomplished the reduction of Vicks-
burg and Port Hudson, and appropriately
freighted the first ship which sailed up the
river which their valOr had opened

GRAFToN.-The twenty-ffth anniversary of
the settlement of Rev. 7. c. Biscoe as pastor
of the Evangelical Congregational church and
society in Grafton occurred on the 18th inst.
In response to a request from his people, Mr..
Biscoe on Sunday, the 10Th inst, preached
discourse appropriate to the occasion from
l Sam. IL, in which he reviewed in very
interesting manner the history of this church
from its first organization, in 1871. During
the ministry of its present pastor three hundred
and eighty mine members have been received
to the watch and fellowship of the church.
On Monday eve, the Goth inst, the mem-
bers of the church and congregation assem-
bled at the parsonage, all ages being repre-
scented from the child of two years to the ven
cradle Dea Joseph Merriam, who is in his
ninety third year, in all four hundred persons
present. After partaking of a bountful COLA
ton prepared by the ladies, the assembly was
called to order by Dea. L. Stockwell, chair
man of the committee of arrangements, and,
after some remarks of welcome to the guests,
introduced William f. Slocum, Esq, to
preside upon the occasion. The chair
reviewed in very appropriate manner
some of the changes of quarter of
a century, alluding in very touching man
ner to several of the honored dead who have
been removed during the last twenty-five
years.
The evening was occupied with reading sem
| timents, and responses to the same by clergy
men from neighboring churches and others
present, interspersed with singing hymns pre-
pared for the occasion by Hon. VIM. r. Hill
who has been our chorister with the exception
of short interval, for quarter of a century.
Not the least interesting feature of the evening
was the presentation by Dea. Stockwell, in
behalf of Mr.. Biscoes church and people,
of beautiful silver pitcher, salver and COB
let, with Il purse OF nearly two hundred dol
lars, and also one of nearly forty dollars to
Mrs. Biscoe, token of gratitude and an
evidence of attachment and regard. Mr.. Bis
coe responded in behalf of himself and his wife,
in very feeling manner, thanking his peo-
pie for their many other tokens of gratitude
and love they have received during his minis
try with them. The exercises closed after
singing a hymn to the tune of "Auld Lang
Syne," with benediction by the pastor.
