Give 1t Up;

The principles upon which our govern
ment 10 founded. are those of open. frank
and honest discussion. No secret political
organization neod to exist. or will exist. in
government where al is free and open.
Hence the order of General Wilcox which
we publish this morning, suits the tilnea
and the necessity of the country, better
than anything that the commandant of the
district could send forth. lie understands
that If loyal men combine, disloyal men
will conspire. and in urging all loyal citi-
zens to abandon their secrecy. he is only
doing that which a sense of duty compels
him to do, and which if left undone, wo'd
leave the State in a traitorous condition
which no amount of sagacity or skill could
remove.
HEApoUARTERs DIsr. OF ISD AND Mrcu.,j
Department of the Ohio.
Indianapolis, June 80, 1868,
The Peace Of Indiana has lately been
disturbed By violence, murder and other
acts contrary to law. and having their or.
igin in certain secret political societies.
clubs or leagues. The common safety now
demands that all such associations should
be discontinued, no matter to what politi-
cal party they may belong. They are q
constant source of dread and mistrust. and
divide and provoke hostility between
neighbors. weaken the dignity and power
of courts of justice. expose the county to
ma rtial law, and discourage the people
from enlisting in defense of the nation.
No matter how honest or worthy may
have been the reason for such societies in
the beginning, their very secrecy and the
osths they impose do enable wicked men
to use them unto unlawful, ends, and per-
vert them inte public nuisances.
All good objects can be accomplished
openly. and none but the enemies of their
country ever need disguise.
1t is perfectly plain that such secret or
ganizstions are both dangerous and be-
ycnd the ordinary grasp of the law: they
are. therefore. declared to be hostile and
will be put down by all the military pow
er Of the district, if need be.
l invoke against said secret societies the
good influence and active aid Of all men
who are friendly to the Union to discon-
tine and peaceably break up such organi-
cations within the limits of this district,
and call Hpon the members thereof speed
lily to withdraw from their dark meetings
and openly show that their intentions and
acts are such as may become the true and
loyal citizen of country whose freedom
and integrity they will maintain against
all enemies whatsoever, and before the
eyes of all the world.

OFFICIAL REPORT OF GENERAL GILMORE.
HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT TIE SoyTI,l
In the Field, Morris Island s. C. July l., 1868.
Mai. Gen. III. W. HALLECK
SIR: have the honor to report that at
5 O'Clock on the morning of the 10th inst,
l made an attack on the enemys fortified
position on the south end of Morris Island
and after an engagement lasting three
hours and p quarter, captured all has
strongholds on that part of the island,
and pushed forward my infantry to within
600 yards of Fort Wagner.
We now hold all the island, except
about one mile on the north end, which
includes Fort Wagner and battery on
Cummings Point, mounting at the present
time IA or Is heavy guns in the aggre-
gate.
The assaulting column was gallantly led
by Brig. Gen. Strong. 1t landedi in small
boats, under cover of our batteries, on Folly
Island, and four Monitors, led by Rear
Admiral Dahlgren, which entered the
main channel abreast of Morris Island,
soon after our batteries opened.
The Monitors continued their fire dur
ing the day, mostly against Fort Wagner.
On the morning of the 18th inst, at
daybreak, an attempt was made to carry
Fort Wagner by assault. The parapet
was gained, but the supports recoiled
under the fire to which they were exposed,
and could not get up.
Our losses in both actions will not vary
much from $50 in killed wounded, and
missing. We have taken eleven pieces OF
heavy ordinance and large quantity of
camp equipage. The enemys loss in kill
ed and wounded will not fall short of 200

us, indeed, because it portends the break

Information was received here on Saturday
afternoon, that force of rebels, 800 or 400
strong, would encamp hat night at point three
miles from Rienzi, whose intentions were to at
tack Camp Davis, strong stockade fsrt six
miles south of Corinth, next morning, they being
under the impression that the garrison was nearly

From the far South come signs of allie
glance to the old flag. The victories of
Grant, Meade and Banks have carried ter
ror to those who are rebels because of in
terest or passion. The Mobile Advertiser
says "there have been some signs of this
white feather futtering during the few
past gloomy days. Let us warn them that
it is base to feel, and dangerous to be pre-
mature in the utterance of, such senti-
ments." To US these are'1oyous words,
for they tell us that the blood of loyalty
is again gushing through the veins OF the
south.

A REpENTANT REBEL.-While our sur
geons at Gettysburg were attending to
the wounded as they were brought in to
the hospitals, without regard to the side
upon which they had fought, a Rebel col
onel, covered with blood was ordered to
be placed in q bath. He was lifted care
fully in, and then, casting his eyes about
him, upon those who had taken him up
so tenderly, burst into food of tears,
and wept like child. Recovering him
self, he said to those around him: II
hope I shall be forgiven for raising my
hand against the Stars and Stripes, and if
I recover from these wounds I will not
only never do the like again, but try to
make amends, so far as can, for the
wrong I have done"

such position that he cannot get back to Rich

Rebel Accounts Of the Attack
on Charleston.
THE OPERATIONS AGAINST CHARLESTON.

The Richmond Enquirer, of July 10th,
says: An official despatch from Charleston
received yesterday morning, states that
all was quiet. The enemy are throwing
up works on the south corner Of Morris
Island.
The landing in heavy force on Morris
Island and the commencement of exten-
sive works for the reduction of Fort Wag-
ner, indicate that the new Yankee Gener-
al, Gilmore, is commencing determin-
ed seige by land and water.
The Charleston Courier says:
''The fall of Charleston involves conse-
quences which We shudder to ocontemplate.
With her capture the whole State would
soon be at the mercy of the foe, and the
great cause of southern independence put
in fearful jeopardy. Nothing but guer-
rilla warfare for the southern and south
western portion of the confederacy, if not
for its whole extent, would then be left
for US, in manifestation of our undying
and unconquerable determination never
to submit to Yankee rule.
