NEW YORK, Aug. p.
The Richmand Enquirer states:
The enemy it seems has been able to
throw few shells into the city, from a
distance of five miles, and we are told Gen.
Beauregard has protested against such pro-
ceedings on the ground of humanity. This
protest will be Of little use indeed if he
cannot disable those batteries which fired
the shells.
The Yankee commanders with their Gus
tomsry braVado, have demanded the sur
render Of Sumter and our Forts on Morris
Island, but in this they can by no means
be indulged. They will find they are now
only at the beginning Of the siege of
Charleston, and between them and that
city is still frey prath to travel.
Times special:
I Mosby's operations in our immediate
front are assuming rather gigantic pro-
portions. From band Of so desperadoes
his force has grown 20 800 able bodied
guerrillas, who prey unon everything which
passes between Fairfax and Warrenton.
EARLY this morning with his whole force
he attacked q suffers train between
CenterVille and Bull Run, captured Al
wagons with their teams and a number o.
Government horses and much other pro
perty on its way to the army.

NEW 4OhhJ Aubs Ats
The Herald has the following:
Charleston, August the twenty-second.
From five o'clock A. NJ, until seven P. NJ,
yesterday evening, the fire on Sumter was
very heavy, 922 shots fired, and 704 struck
the Fort either outside or inside. The
eastern face of the Fort was badly batter
ed, and some guns on the east end and north
east face were disabled. The flag was
shot down four times; five privates and
two negroes wounded in Sumter. The
eneny's fire on Wagner caused five casual
ties including Capt. Robert Pringle, killed.
Our sharp-shooters annoy the yankees
considerable. Il is supposed the enemy
burst one Of their guns yesterday P. NJ,
At eleven o'clock last night commune
cation from the enemy, unsigned, was
sent TO General Beauregsrd, demanding
the surrender Of Sumter and Morris Island
batteries, with notification that the City
would be shelled in four hours if the de-
mand was not complied with. Beauregard
was on reconnissnce, and Gen. Jordan
returned it for signature Of the writer.
About two o'clock this morning the enc
my began throwing shells into City
from battery on marsh, between Morris
and James Islands, a distant of five miles
from the city. Twelve eight inch PARROT
shells fell in the city but caused no casual
ties. The transaction is regarded as an
outrage on civilized warfare. The shells
had coed effect in has teninghas exodus of
non-combstants.
At daylight this morning, the enemy
opened fire vigorously on Sumter; the
Ironsides has since opened. Sumter is
replying. Wagner is firing .briskly on
the enemy's advanced works, 450 yards
from our battery.

KRnnI CHARLESTON.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.
The steamer AragO, from Charleston Bar
the 25th, has arrived.
&C. Fulton sends dispatch, dated of
Morris Island the oath, at noon. Admiral
Dahlgren, at midnight on Saturday, with
five Monitors, bombarded Sumter till six
o'clock. The Fort was struck over hun
dred times, the balls going through the
sea wall. The whole parapet also carried
away.
Sumter fired one gun five times, but
Moultrie, Gregg, and Beauregsrd for three
hours rained shells on the Monitors.
They we're struck several times, but no
harm was done. Sumter is defunct; the
last gun was dismounted yesterday.
To-day the grand army and naval at
tacks on Wagner and Gregg takes place.
Now that Sumter is defunct, the rebels will
be driven from Morris Island. Gilmore is
determined to have possession tonight.
Gilmore on Thursday notified Beaure-
gard that if he did not surrender the
forts he would shell the city in twenty
four hours. No attention was paid to the
demand.
On Friday night Gilmore threw fifteen
shells charged with Greek fire into the
city.
On Saturday afternoon Beauregsrd sent
down flag with an urgent protest, de,
nouncing Greek fire as most villsinous
compound-unworthy civilized nations,
and demanding more time. The English,
French and Spanish counsels also de-
nounced the short time given, rnd claimed
more time to remove the subjeets-their re-
spective countries. Gilmore replied by
renewing the demand for a surrender
Beauregard asked a truce of forty hours
Gilmore refused time on any terms but
unconditional surrender. At Il o'clock
last night shelling the city with Greek fire
was resumed. 1t is generally thought the
stars and stripes will wave over Sumter
tonight. There is evidently great trouble
in Charleston.
1t is not believed there are over twenty
men in the ruins of Sumter.
Her guns are now mounted on Sullivan
Island. The end is approaching.

ROBBERS AND BURGLARS ABoUT.-On
Monday evening of last week, about o'clock,
as James Muggleston was going from the
village to his home at the west end of town,
he was approached by an unknown individ1-
al, who demanded his money. Mr.. NJ. told
the robber that he had no money. The lat
ter, after thrusting his hands into Mr.. NJ 8
pockets, left, but soon returned and dealt
MuggIeston blow on the head, telling him
to the ground, and inficting bad cash on
his head. Mr.. M. had q small amount of
money with him, but the rObber did not sue
ceed in getting it. =
We have heard Of one or two other attempts
at highway robbery, but nothing very par
tieular or definite.
On Wednesday night last, or rather Thurs
day morning about one O'Clock, some one
entered the residence of Mr.. Yale, of this
place. In effeeting an entrance, the burglar
aroused some Of the inmates, who gave the
alarm, and ne made his escape without OBJ
tanning any plumber. Our people should be
on their guard against these gentry.-Nor-

YOURS truly,

Here, ten years ago, is the open boast
made by this leader of cut-throat gang
that he belongs to the "Secession and High
Treason schOOl," and his chief recommends
alton of fellOw-traitor to the President Of
the COnfederacy is that he, too, belongs to
the "High Treason School, Evidently,
secession and treason were not only being
plotted sOlOng ago as this, but were boast
ed Of as reasons for favorable cOnsidera-
tiOn. AtchisOn would now give the same
recommendation regarding Vallandigham
if he were to give him letter of intro
duction.

CLEVELAND AND PITrsBURG SHoPs.-We
paid hasty visit to the Pittsburg Shops,
down the Lake Shore, yesterday afternoon.
They are under the general charge of Master
Mechanic Jacob HOvey, very efficient man.
There is great activity at the Shops in max
ing and repairing locomotives and cars. The
following men are employed: In the Wood
Shop, George Miller, foreman; ffty-tbree
men. In the Blacksmith Shop, William c.
johnson, foreman; twenty-five men. J. R.
Worswick has superintsndence Of sixty-six
machinistE, bOiIer-smiths and apprentices
There are forty-eight engineers, fifty fremen
and thirty-eight painters, labOrers and vip-
ers. Lawrence Russell is the boss painter.
There are forty locomotives on this
portion of the road. There are three in the
shops being repaired, viz the Hudson, 'Ra-
VIENNA and Great Western.
All the machinery is run by an eighty
horse power engine, built by the Globe
Works, Cleveland. It has been in use for
abOu. three years, and not one dollar has
yet been expended in repairing it.
Work is put forward SO rapidly at the shops
that one car is turned Out each day, besides
the repairing that is done.
About ali the locomotives used upon the
road are coal burners. The master mechanic
afirms that coal burning locomotive will
take passenger train over the road each
trip, seven and half dollars cheaper than a
wood burner.
The Oid-fashiOned, broad-inouthed smoke
stacks are done away with on these engines
stack invented and patented by master me,
ohanic HOvey being substituted. This stacl
is cast iron at the top and bottom, and tn,
middle is of sheet iron. It is much more or
namental than the old-fashioned stack AM
costs much less.
The Pittsburg shops are heated in the win
ter by surplus steam from the boiler.
Besides these shops the Company hav
shops on less extensive scale, at Wellsville
and at Manchester, Pennsylvania.

We have referred to the opinion express
sed by the Rochester Express that the su-
preme Court has decided that the rebeIlious
States must come back as territories, if at
all. The Buffalo Express thinks that it is
an evidence Of the probability Of the re-
port that the New York World actually
talks of "reOrganizing the government Of
a seeded State" as the "only method pos
sible" to receive it back into the Union
The World would not have tolerated such
an idea a month ago, and the fact that il
does now shows that it has intimationl
that that is to be the winning side

The aHieh Treason sebooI.,,

Few of our readers have forgotten the
name of the infamous D. R. AtchisOn, Of
Kansas, who led the border rufians in
their savage warfare upon the unofending
Free State settlers. Not long since, when
the house of Joe Davis, Of Jackson, the
brother Of JEFF. Davis, was taken posses
sion of by federal soldiers, letter was
found from this Atchison to the present
head-rebel, reading as follows:

REUNIONS.
During the afternoon there occurred re-un-

and '62. Good delegations were present
from each class, the class of $50 havin g
twenty-three, and the class Of '62 having
about thirty members in town. Pleasant are
all these e-unions,-most pleasant these
meetings and greetings of those whom the
experiences and memories of four years have
bound SO closely together. Ny own enjoy
ment was great, and only hope that all the
other reunions passed of as happily as ours.
The day was a gem,-clear, bright, sunny,
yet cool, fresh stamped from the mint where
they make days. We could not wish for a
better day, better audience, better classes,
or better time.
