ington under Martial Law, &c.

CINCINNATI, July 2S.-A special to the
Commercial from Lexington, KY, says
the rebels this morning attacked our forces
at Richmond, consisting of small detach-
ment under Col. Landers. After several
hours fighting, our troops were compelled
to fall back TO Kentucky river, badly cut
up.
The rebel force is estimated at $500,
and six guns. They are supposed to be
the advance of Bragg's army. At last adj
vices our troops had fallen back to within
five miles of Lexington, the enemy closely

Martial law is proclaimed, and all citi-
zens between the ages of Is and 45 are
under orders to report for duty. 1t is
thought the city can be held against the
the rebels and rebel citizens.
A rebel force of over $4,000 is moving
in a northerly direction cia Grab Orchard.
The Gosette's Lexington dispatch says
the excitement has subsidized. The rebels
came to the Kentucky river at Clay's
Ferry. Saunders command consists of
troops from Hickman's brigade in the
vicinity of Lexington. Generals Carter
and Gilberts commands are in the rear of

OPERATIONS OF THE GUNROAT
SQUADRON.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The following
has been received at the Navy Depart
ment:
FLAGSHIP BLAcKHAwK, OFF VICKsBUEG,(
July IS, 1868.
SIR: [ have the honor to inform you
that the expedition | sent into the Red
River region proved very successful, as
cending both the Black and Tensas Rivers.
Lieutenant Commander Selfridge made the
head of navigation on Tensas River, and
Bayou Mason, forty miles above Vicks-
burg, and within five or six miles of the
Mississippi River. The enemy was taken
completely by surprise. The rebels that
have assembled to that region will be
obliged to move further back from the
river, if not to go away altogether.
Lieutenant Commander Seltrid &c divided
his forces on transports which had been
carrying stores, but Walkers force had
escaped up some narrow stream.
He sent the Marion and Rather up
Little Red River, small tributary Of the
Black, and the Forest Rose and Petrol,
up the Tensas. The night being dark and
raining very hard, the Maniton and Rat
tier succeeded in capturing the rebel
steamer, Louisville, one of the largest, and,
perhaps, best, steamers in the western
waters.
Up the Tensas, the Forest Rose and
Petrol captured the steamer Elmira, load
ed with rebel stores and findings. The
steamers which had conveyed General
Walkers army had returned
The Washita Expedition started up that
river and came suddenly upon two rebel
steamers but the rebels set them on fire
and they were consumed One steamer
loaded with ammunition escaped above
the fort at Hanisonburgh, which is very
strong work and unassailable with wooden
gunboats. 1t is on an elevation of over
100 feet high, with water batteries of
heavy guns.
Lieut.. Selfridge was fortunate enough
however to hear Of a large quantity of am
munition that had lately been hauled from
Natchez and deposited at Trinity, nearly
due west of Natchez and from whence
stores, provisions, cattle, guns and ammu-
milton are transported. He captured 49,
900 rounds smoothe bore ammunition,
10000 rounds Enfield, and 224 fixed am
munitiOn, 50 hhds sugar and 80 bbls salt
All belonging to the Confederate Govern
ment.
Walkers army is left almost without
ammunition. The officers have shown
great energy in this expedition, and have
met with no mishaps.
They procured good deal of informa-
ton, by which future movements will be
regulated. People in that section are
very hostile to the government are
rank rebels.
have the honor to be, &C., &C.,

Disastrous Repulsc of Our Forces in
the Attack on Fort Wagner.

WASHINGTON, July 24.--[Special to 17'i-
bune 7-Advices from Fortress Monroe up
to this evening, state that no definite or
trustworthy intelligence had been received
at that place as to operations at Charles
ton.
An officer recently returned from the
fleet off Charleston, reports that at the
time of his leaving matters were progress
ing favorably. Something was gained
each day, and the reduction of Forts Wag-
ner and Sumter was considered certain.
The greatest confidence is felt in the plans
and movements of Gen. Gilmore and Adj
miral Dahlgren, and the ultimate capture
of Charleston.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 24-The Rich
mond papers of July 23d have been re-
ceived. The Sentinel of the 22d says that
$40 of the Yankee prisoners who arrived
at Richmond on Monday were from Jack
son, Mississippi, and the balance from
Gettysburg. 1t also contains the follow
ing from Charleston:
CHARLESTON, July 10.
The New Ironsides, all the Monitors, and
five gun and mortar boats, assisted by two
land batteries mounting five guns, have
fired furiously at Fort Wagner all day
One of our guns was dismounted.

CHARLESTON, July 19.-After furious
bombardment of eleven hours, the enemy
assaulted Battery Wagner desperately and
repeatedly. Our soldiers fought desperate
ly and repulsed the Yankees with great
slaughter. Our loss was comparatively
light but includes many eminent officers.

The loss of the enemy, including prison.

The Boston Pilot, in referring to the
course of the British Consul in that city in
giving exemption Or protection to those
who have declared their intentions OF be-
coming citizens, says: "The consul is
driving good business in the way of CIV
ing protection where none is required.
Any Irishman who would seek protection
from the representative of government
that has starved and is starving millions
of his countrymen deserves the execration
of his race, and should be held up to pub
lie scorn. We do not learn how many
have been protected by his consulship,
but the number must be considerable.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

ALL accounts agree that the federal
and rebel forces at Port Hudson, immedi-
ately upon our occupation of that place,
fraternized in the kindest possible manner,
apparently forgetting entirely that they
had ever been arrayed in hostile columns.
1t was precisely thus, also, at Vicksburg,
at Gettysburg, and on every other field
where the men have been brought tOgeth-
er in the hush or at the close of the con-
fict. Those persons who are fond of in
sisting that the people Of the South and
those of the North can never be reconciled
or live together in peace when the war is
done and the spirit of rebellion is Destroy
ed, will hardly find in facts like these we
have cited confirmation of their argu-
ment.
About two years ago man named
Mcpherson disappeared from the Osborn
House in Rochester under circumstances
.justifying a suspicion that he had been
murdered for 81 400 in gold he carried.
His body was found about two months af-
ter. On Monday last the authorities of
Rochester received note from an officer
in the Portsmouth navy yard, stating that
a young man employed there had confess
ed the murder. The letter says:
This young man acts as though crazy, by
spells, and when he speaks of killing this man
he gets into perfect frenzy and cannot stand
still. and his couhtenance changed in manner
that is startling. l cannot see what object he
could have in classifying, but of one thing am
satisfied-he is great rascal.
"A special from Washington to the
Tribune says: "The War Department is
pushing the organization of colored troops
vigorously. The successes of our forces
in the West have given fresh impetus to
enlistments among the blacks. By autumn
it is estimated that 1907 900 negroes will be
in arms in the valley of the Mississippi"
