From Charlie sion.

~ BosToN, Oct PA Morris Island
letter to the Herald says: "Two de-
serters from Charleston give gloomy
accounts of affairs in Charleston and
Savannah. In the latter place the poor
are starving. They state that the tor
pedoes in the harbor of Charleston
won't work. When the Ironsides was
last in, she was over one containing
two hundred pounds of powder, which
failed to explode. The rebels have two
more internal machines, intended to
destroy the Ironsides. Some of the
harbor distractions, of ropes and bar
rels, have rotted, and are seen every
few days standing out to sea.
We are assured that The Charleston
city government are anxious to surren-
der the city, but Beauregard and the
Military leaders wont allow it, and say
that they will burn the city first.
+ The entire rebel force is stated at
$4,000 men. Most of Beauregard's
forces went to reinforce Bragg. A new
sand battery has been erected on the
ruins Of Sumter.

How ,he rebellion was Instigated.

On the 10th of January, 1861, Ex-
President Franklin Pierce wrote to
Jefferson Davis:
Without discussing the question of
right-of abstract power to secede, l
have never believed that actual disrup-
ton of the Union can occur without
blood aud if through the madness of
Northern Aboliiionists that dire calam-
ity must come, the fighting aoiU not be
along Mason and DirOn's line merely.
1t soiU be aoithin oar Oaon borders, IN
oar o,on streets, betaoee,s tie too classes
of citizens to ach0m I haze referred.
Those who defy law and scout consti-
tutional obligations, will, if we ever
reach the adjournment of arms, .ttnd 0c-
cupdtiom enough at home"
Davis put faith in this assurance.
BE had been told the same by other
men, prominent like Franklin Pierce
in the leadership of the Northern De-
mocracy. Seymour, Wood, Vallan-
digham, Voorhees,, Hughes and their
like had agreed in declaring that 'blood
should flow in Northern streets" if any
attempt were made to coerce" a re-
belling Southern state. The Free
Presses of Northern Democracy had
fiercely promised that if fighting for
the union was to be done by "Lincoln's
minions" it should be done at home
Davis believed them, as did the whole
gang of disnnion conspirators, whom
he headed. He took their assurances
as coming from the great Democratic
party at the North. He'supposed thai
they represented that party and spoke
its sentiments. And that was wha
encouraged him-encouraged Yancey
and Toombs, and Manson, aud Breck
inridge, and Pickens-to precipitatt
the rebellion. Led by the Pierces
Buchanans, Vallandighams, and Sey
mours of the North to expect co opera
ton from the Democracy of the North
as party, they anticipated an easy
triumph. They were deluded-th'
victims of laced'confidence, in mel
whose own base sympathies were, AM
have been ever since, traitorously faith
full enough, but who lied about tn
party which they professed to repre-
sent. These men instigated the rebel
lion, and are more responsible for tn,
agony of death and carnage that thi
nation has suffered from il, than all tn,
traitors in its cabinet or army.

- President Lincoln has been pre-.
sented with a handsome and exceed
ingly substantial cane, made from tim
Der of the old frigate Constitution.
The wood is the finest oak, and beau
tifully polished. The head of the cane
is of polished iron, the material being
a portion of a bolt taken from the orr
ginaf Monitor, which was broken by
the first shot she received from the reb-
ell Merrimac. On top of the head are
the words "Constitution" and "Moni-
tor" and the dates "lSl2" and 1862"
These form circle, and in the centre
is engraved an anchor-the emblem of

The Enlistment of Slaves.

The orders relative to the enlistment
of negro soldiers, applies only to Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, Maryland and Della
ware, the latter at the personal request
of Gov. Cannon. Free negroes are
and slaves of masters who are willing,
will first be taken. If these do not
reach the required number, then the
slaves of all, indiscriminately, will be
taken. Description lists will be given
upon application, and masters who can
prove their loyalty will receive $500
compensation. All slaves enlisted are
free from the day of enlistment.

The New York Times saws that the
net result of the draft in that city will
be far more satisfactory than is gener-
ally supposed aud infinitely better than
the Copperheads have prophesied or
desired. The total number drafted, in
ending the fifty per cent, allowed for
exemptions, was $4,000. According
to present prospects, the Government
will get about thirty-three per cent, of
this number in men, and ten per cent.
in communication money. 1t has often
been asserted by those opposed to the
draft that the cost of obtaining recruits
by this method would be far greater
than by Offering bounties for volunteers.
So far from this being the case, the
average cost to the Government of each
man procured by the draft, will be less
than S75. In the Fourth District,
which has been the most expensive in
proportion to the number of men fur
nished, the average cost will be about
800 per man, while in several of the
other districts it will not reach $40 per
man. e-e

From the Cincinnati Gazette, Oct. 20.
ROsecrans, Hooker and Grant.


an Inabroglio IN the Department OF
the Cumberland.
Secretary Stanton arrived at Indian.
apois on Sunday evening, in special
train from Washington. About the
same time General Grant and staff ar.
rived in a special train from Cairo.
Both parties left Immediately in a spe.
cial train from Louisville, en- route tor
Chattanooga. The explanation of all
this, as it comes to us from reliable
source is, that General Hooker was al
Stevenson with his troops, claiming
that his command was an Independent
one. Gen. Rosecrans at the same time
claims that it was part of his army
In order to settle this imbroglio, Gen
Grant, who ranks both Rosecrans, and
Hooker, goes to Chattanooga to over
look matters, and to keep both Gen
erals in their commands. Out of this
has grown the report that Genera
Grant has superseded General Rose
Grams. 1t is roundabout way, anG
we may say an unfortunate way, of set
Ting a difficulty that might have beer
guarded against when General Hooker
was sent from Washington. The lat
ter outranks Rosecrans, and according
to army regulations, would have com
mand of the army upon entering thu
Department; but he waived this right
as We understood, but did not, as i
would now seem, expect to have hi
corps merged in the Army of the Cum
berland. The President, however, hat
the power to set aside the rules of wa
in this regard, and to his failure to d.
so is to be attributed so far as we cal
see, this unfortunate imbroglio. Wha
the result of all this is to be, we canno
say. 81 f"5 l.
