The latest news from Charleston is
from G. G. Fulton, and says the steam
err has just been ordered off to Fort

and am indebted to the Admiral for
the opportunity of forwarding a hasty
letter. My letters detailing operations
of the past week are all on board the
Arago, which is still detained, and
am unable to get possession of them.
We have had daily Smelling of the
rebel batteries, and abundance of re-
sponses, but nothing serious has oc.
cured on either side. /, however send
you hasty summary of the progress
of affairs. The batteries of General
Gilmore on shore are of the most ex
tensive character, and most of them
have been erected under the cover O.
darkness, by means of which precau
ton the enemy has no knowledge o
their position, and will not until they
open upon them.
We have erected an extensive bat
terry, Thoroughly emfilading the rebe
batteries on James Island, which, in
measure, imperilled our principal work
and caused considerable annoyance be
fore the projections were built for &
new one.

THE LEE FAMILY IN TRoUBLE.-It
is reported that great excitement ex-
lists in the Lee family and their circle
of friends at Richmond, over the ex-
pectsd execution of Sawyer and Flynn
by the rebel Government. The people,
with characteristic thirst for blood,
demand that the sentence Of the pris-
oners shall be carried out at once
while Gen. Lee. whose son, Fitzhugh,
is held by our Government as hostage
for Sawyer and Flynn, demands that
Davis shall prevent their execution, and
threatens, if his son is hung by US in
retaliation, to resign his position in the
Rebel army and leave the Confederacy
in disgust. This story, which bears
the mark of probability, was brought
to Richmond by an intelligent colored
refugee, formerly slave to the Lee
family.

RETAL1ATIoN.-Last Friday was the
day fixed at Richmond, we believe, for
the execution of two of our officers in
retaliation for the two rebels convicted
by court-martial and hanged for recruit
ingwithin our lines in kentucky. Asitis
we'll understood that as soon as the reb-
ell authorities hang these officers the
young General Lee and Capt. Winder
will suffer the like penalty at Washing
ton, it is not generally apprehendea
that Davis carried out his threats.

REBEL BATTLE FLAGS CAPTURED AT
GETTYsBURG.-The snowy trophies of
victory rs well as its solid advantages
rest with the Union cause, after Lees
Pennsylvania campaign. On the 9Th
inst. Col. Shriver arrived at Washing
ton with Mirty-oae Rebel battle flags,
captured in the great battles at Gettys-
burg, Penn. Several of them bore
Latin notices, while the mass were a
plain red ground, with the cross and
thirteen stars. One was a silk flag
with the stars and bars, with the names
of the battles it had been carried thro'
another silk flag of the cross pattern
had a rising sun in the center with a
Latin inscription. Seventeen of them
had their regimental marks on, viz: 9TH,
22d, 23d, and 34th North Carolina |;
18th Alabama; 1st, 18th, 9th, Sd, two
of the 18th, 18th, 2Sth, seth, SD, and
3sth Virginia. One flag had its regi-
mental mark ripped off before it fell
into our hands. They are all more or
less bloody and torn, several of them
having been carried since the first Bull
Run battle. They were exhibited for
short time in.the yard attached to the
War Departments.

The SITUATION.


We believe the present hour in the
history of this rebellion is one of grave
and anxious watching, with those who
intenigsntly study, and upon whom
rests the grave responsibility of study
ing the campaign in Virginia. We be-
lieve that the rebellion is net dead,
though sorely wounded. We have no
expectation that any immediate great
event will break the silence superven-
ing upon great events recently trans
pired. in the Southwest. It is not
there that the rebel leaders will at
tempt to rebuild their shattered edifce.
They are not dead nor even sleeping.
Trust no tales that their decentralization
has reached the extent Of rendering
their armies ineffective. Our generals
do not believe it. Our enemies mean
mischief. The wounded snake can
still crawl, and hiss, and strike. We
believe the blow he is preparing is to
be aimed at the great primal stake and
prize of this war, the Federal capital.
We believe this because the eviden-
ces are that Lee has been largely rein
forced from all parts of the Confeder-
acy. Because of the lull that has come
upon the war in other parts of the field.
Because of the pressure, the vital nee
essity resting upon the rebel leaders to
strike blow which shall work us harm.
Our recent great successes, the disaf-
lection showing itself in various parts
of the Confederacy, are among the
reasons why they must snatch a yicto-
ry from this hour of peril, or sink to
rise no more. We believe the great.
est work, the stsrnest call for the valer
Of the Army of tho Potomac may at
any moment preeipitate itself upon
them. The battle when it comes will
be the grandest of the war, for it is the
desperate throw of desperate men.
The tiger has been rugged with fire,
soorched, hunted into narrower limits,
bnt nowhere subdued, and the leap oil
the ravenous and raging beast will be
made with a power that must be pow.
erfully and skilfully met. ,
The events of the next few weeks il
may be days, in Virginia will, can
hardly miss proving the central and
major. feature of this campaign. /
Lee is victorious, the victory will throw
f heavy weight in the scale against al
our previous good fortune. If Mead
wins the battle we shall see no othe
grand army of the rebels in the field
: But that grand army of the rebellion
J is now stretching its formidable length
