New YORK, Oct. II.
The Charleston Harbor correspondent OF
the Baltimore American, dating Oct. 9TH,
says: "There are indications now that the
present inactivity will not be of many day 5
continuance. Gen. Gilmore has forced his
works forward with remarkable rapidty, con-
siderng their magnitude and the natural and
artificial distractions in his way. The troops
have worked hard-nearly every regiment on
the island taking its turn every other day in
the trenches. All this has, however, been
cheerfully borne, the soldiers having unlimited
confidence in Gen. Gilmore. He has secured
from them an individual interest and co opera
ton in the accomplishment of his plans. The
navy is also preparing for renewal of the at
tack. For the last twenty-four hours there
have been important arrivals of means for the
removal of the rebel distractions, which we
may soon hope to see successfully applied.
Stone River promises soon to be the scene OF
active operations. The rebels have quilt a
heavy battery at Grimball's Plantation, few
miles up the river, and from he movements
Of their troops in the vicinity they either fear
that the next attack is to come from that quar-
ter or are themselves preparing for some DEM
onstration against our position on Folly
Island"
The Mercury's Washington despatch also
says that the recent high tide had SWEET away
most OF the distractions in Charleston Har-
Dor. Gen. Gilmore has been largely reinforced
with troops, and 1t is expected that he will
soon be in possession of a portion of James
Island. Another night attack has been made
on Fort Sumter.

The Richmond Wing speaking Of the with
drawal Of Mason from England, says the with
drawal was demanded by sense Of self re-
spect as well as by important considerations of
public policy, but these reasons required with
far greater weight and urgency the dismission
of the British Consul. The consuls can do no
harm aside from compromising our dignity but
they are here without our sanction,i in contempt
of our authority and in derogation Of our
rights, and what is more than all and most
calling, they are In our midst and thus en-
ployed by permission obtained from the power
which is waging worse than barbarian war
against us.

NEW YORK, Oct. II.
The Times Washington dispatch of last
night, says a letter received here to-day, from
a prominent officer of Gen. Steeles command
dated Little Rock, Sept 80 says: "Deserters
from Princes army are coming into our lines
by hundreds and enlstng in our ranks.
Guerrillas still continue their operations,
but with diminished success. Several bands
have already thrown down their arms and re-
sumed peaceful pursuits. These people ad-
nit that Arkansas, as well as the whole Trans
Mississippi country is forever lost to the
Southern Conlederacy, and it is probable that
the rebels viii abandon that State altogether,
and make their last stand west of the Missis-
sippi, in Texas.
Cotton burning in the State has ceased al
most entirely, and planters are beginning to
bring in their cotton, though in small quanti-
ties. Guerrilas levy contributions on each
bale intercepted on its way to market, show
ing that their motives, so far from being pat
riotic, are simply larcenous.
