The Siege at Charleston.
The following is the latest received

our operations near Charleston;
On the 10th tho rebels attempted to drive
our forces from James Island. The attack
was sudden and unexpected, but Gen. Terry
met aud rcpulsed them with great slaugh-
ter.
The gunboat PawDce, which supported
the left flank, grounded and u rebel battery
opened upon her, firing about fifty shots,
thirty-nine of which hit her. She subse-
quently tlo0ted off and opened upon the
rebels, putting them to flight Our casual
ties Were small, and the rebels were
taught a lesson they will not soon forget.
The bombardment of Fort Wagner was
renewed on the morning of the 22d, with the
iron-clads cooperating with the army. Du-
ring the day Fort Wagner was silenccd for
some time and the colQrs shot away, New
Union batteries were opened upon the rcb-
els, doing great execution.
A charge was made on Fort Wagner, and
our troops after desperate struggle were
obliged to fall back; which they did in ex-
cellent order and held their old positions.
The loss on our side was quite severe,
but our total loss of killed, wounded aud
missing since the 10th is only about | 900.
The 4Sth New York lost about $50 men.
and only three officers escaped unharmcd.
The UatSbiil was struck dVor fifty times
but is all right. She went to Hilton for
supplies and coal.

No matter; we can at least now see to

Our Success at Jackson Miss.

The Richmond Wig gives some infor-
nation about our successes ut jackson,
which shows tho occupation of that place
has effected results even more important
than werC supposed. Our troops have cap
tured forty locomotives and all the rolling
stock on three important railroads, John
stons troops, in their headlong flight, not
having time or not thinking to destroy this
property. The Wig candidly says the
loss is irreparable and that everything qp,
poaTs to be going wrong in the Southwest"
This is not an exaggeration, for the rebels
selves, or import them; and their railroad
stock is exhibiting such signs of wear that
for some time past trains throughout the
Ooniederacy have been prohibited from rum
ming at rate exceeding ten miles an hour.

5000 bales of cotton and large cotton fac
tory, which supplied the country for miles
around with yarn. They also tore up the
track for mile or two. One railroad train
passed only Il short time before their arrival
but second fell into their hands. Two
carloads at ammunition, and oyOr 10000
pounds OF bacon were destroyed, and the
cars and locomotives, at least in part, de-
moished, The rebel authority which we
quote regards the blow as cry serious
one, as it cuts off communication between
Wilmington and the North for at least a
week, and, tbs telegraph lyiroa being also
down, no news is oGtainable from Whining
ton. Until repairs are made, the main line
between Virginia and the cotton States will

Funeral of Daniel Young, Esq.

Andrew Young, an old resident Of Lucas County,
died quite suddenly ON Wednesday last, of apoplexy,
at his home in Springfield Township. On Friday
last he was buried in Masonic honors, the services
taking place in the Episcopal Church, in Maumee
City. The Toledo Commercial, in sketch of the
deceased says:
lie was born in the Mohawk Valley about the
year 1895, and received his education in Albany
n, Y, from which place he rem we'd to Ohio when
quite a young man. Having located in Maumec
suits, and, being an excellent surveyor, was APP
pointed to the position of Chief Engineer of the Wa
bash Canal, then building. Subsequently, he
was elected Auditor of Lucas county, posi-
ton which he held four years, lie was also elected
Justice of the Peace, and held other municipal
trusts.
lie was made Master Mason in Albany, at the
age of %, and continued working member of the
order until the suspension Of lodges, at the time Of
the Anti Masonic excitement. Upon the resump
ton of labor throughout the country, Mr.. Ionng
took an active part in organizing lodges. He
sisted in organizing Phoenix Lodge, of Perrysburg
and was one oiNehe charter members of Northern
Light Lodge, Of Maumce City. He was one Of the
charter members of Fort Meigs Chapter, X. a. NJ.

Mexican ENRInnlps.

If the report of the circumstances under which
Puebla was taken is true, and we see no reason to
doubt it, the Mexican force set Il very honorable
example on that occasion,
l. They did not surrender until their anlmuni-
ton was expended and they had eaten the horses
and mules OF their artillery and cavalry.
q The officers refused To be neutralzed in their
country's death-strugge, at the will of their cap
tors.
3. They broke up their artillery before capitulat-
ing, 10 diminish the fruits Of the victory for their
opponents.
To this list of good examples we may add the
very honorable and cOmmendable irdnkncss of
their Government, which AT once announced the
disaster which it had sustained, and threw itself
for support upon the courage and resolution of the
nation--and not in vain, as we trust will appear
by the ssauel. -LiOsion YailN Adcertiser.

PROGRESS OF CIVILIZATION IN kUSsA.-A-
though the Emperor of Russiu appears to be waging
merciless war against the Poles, the civil re-
forms in his empire are going on. The imperial
ukase recently issued concerning corporal punish
meUts completely eXcmpts women and some classes
of individuals "among when. civilization is most
extended" as, for example, teachers of primary
schools persons who have finished their education
In district colleges and other schools peasants ex-
ercising elective functions and lastly curates of
parishes. The nobility and the merchants of the
two first guilds have for long time been exempt
from corporal punishment. The PEASANTS and
bourgeois who do not belong TO the categories thus
enumerated will only be subject to tho lighter cor
poral punishments in certain cases specified by
law. The knout and the marque are definitely
erased from the penal code. The ACCOMPLISHMENTS
are sensibly diminished. Analogous notifications
are introduced in the penal code Of the army and
