FROM CHARLESTON.

An official dispatch from Gen. Gillmor,
dated the Gath inst, announces the practical
demolition Of Fort Wagner, after bonn
bardment continued for seven successive
days. Gen. &. also states that he had sue
ceeded ut great labor and under q heavy fire
from James Island in establishing batteries
within effective range of the heart OF the
city, and has opened with then, after giving
Gen. Beauregard due notice OF his intention
to do so.
From other sources we learn that the
shells thrown into Charleston were charged
with Greek fire, "a peculiar compound of
bitumen, raptha, and pitch OF Il most often
sivc odor, and possessing the property of
burning either on the surface or under the
water"
One other fact we learn from the Morris
Island correspondence The only gun of
sufficient range to throw shell into the city
Of Charle3ton was the three hundred FOUNDER
ParrOtt rife; but this enormous piece Of ord
nance, after a few discharges, "decidentaly
burst, breaking of about a foot from the
mnzz.en This mishap has not only de-
stroyed the accuracy Of its fire, but has re-
duced its range by mile and a half; SO that
until another gun OF equal calibre can be
invented ,eo more shells can Be Mr0acn into
Charleston.

Among the bold assumptions Of the
present head Of the Treasury Depart
inent is the following, contained IN his
report to Congress, and which is reiftra-
ted By the radical press on every side:
The circulation ofthe United States notes
constitutes practically q loan from the pco-
pie TO their Government, without Interest"
The object Of this piece OF ciiaisafaAisui 10
fo induce the idea that two thousatsd ,aiiiicus
Of debt IS no material damage to he people.
There is, however, no person SO tlfou -htiess
or reckless in his daily expenditures that he
docs not know how much higher are all
pieces Of goods he Is Obliged to Guy, in con-
sequence Of the use Of paper money. Even
every servant girl who remits her little say
ings out Of her hard earnings to relieve the
wants Of some dear friend at home, knows
that she must pay for one pound six and sew
en- dollars instead Of five dollars, and work
men are compelled to strike for higher wages
in order to live. The Treasury Department
is not exempt from the same universal law !;
all the pay Of ministers and others remifted
abroad, all purchases Of material and supplies
ior the Government, are Subjected to the
same charge.
The expenditure of the past year has been
eight hundred millions Of dollars, OF which

contracts at varying paper prices, the average
advance ON which has been 40 per cent. IN
consequence Ofthis s'paper without interest"
i'm other words, the Treasury has paid seven
hundred millions Of dollars for what at spe-
Gle prices would have cost but i've hundred
millions of dollars The differences, two

Baltimore papers Of the 29th ul.imo
have been received. They furnish the an
nexed summary Of news:
M05BY AFTER THE Suffers.
The Gasette gives the following account
Of Maj. Mosby's latest descent upon the
suffers:
On Sunday night last, Mosby and about two
hundred OF his command bfvouacked near
Langiey's above the Chain bridge. On Mon
day, they seized all the horses they could
hnd, and appear to have succeeded Ia carry
ing them of without loss. On Tuesday,
having formed junction with Whites cav.
airyt md Numbering in the aggregate>so at
least We have it reported-some seven or
cigut hundred men, Mosby attacked at night
Train Of forty -four sutlers' wagons, between
Centreville and Bull Run, and without meet.
Ing with much resistance, although the train
was guarded by Federal soldiers, captured
the whole OF the wagons and their contents,
nearly all the cavalry escort, together with a
large number Of Government horses and
other property belonging to the Government
and private individuals, to a very heavy
amount. Mosby was subsequently pursued,
brought to bay, and wounded, but the pro-
liabilities are that he got OIL safely with his
booty.

Quantreirs raid upon Lawrence, Kan
sas, seems to haze provoked war of
determination against the people of
Northern Missouri. The Gazette, in its
summary Of the telegrapllic reports,
says:
An order has been issued from hcadqua--
ters, at Kansas City, which, if carried out,
will depopulate nearly the whole Of the three
counties in Missouri lying closest to the
Kansas line. The order directs all persons
living within the limits specified, with cer-
tain exceptions, ''to remove from their pres
ent places of residence within fifteen days,
unless, in the meantime, they prove their
loyalty to the satisfaction Of the command
ing officer"
On this proof being given, they will not
even then be permitted to remain at their
old homes, but may remove to any military
station within that military district, ''sr to
any part of Kansas, except the counties on
tue eastern border Of the State" Those who
do not SO prove their loyalty are to depart
further into the interior Of Missouri, or else
where. All the grain and hay of the loyal
persons remaining in the field or under shell
ter, must, after the lapse Of fifteen days from
the date Of this order, be taken to the near
est military station and turned over to the
commanding officer. All other grain and
hay too remote from 4 military station TO be
brought in within the specified time will be
destroyed.

The debt is now nearly equal to the British
debt, aud increases at tue rate Of more than
two million per day, without prospect of al
end The following are the official state

Thus the amount Of interest already paid
by the Treasury is twenty-five per cant, and
the rate will increase in proportion to the
extension Of the paper money. Ii the paper
money is ever paid at all it must be by fund
ing it, and that cannot be done at a rate less
than six per cent. II we assume that it may
be done at that rate, the annual charge with
the sinking fund will he sevenfy-seven mil-
lions Of dollars per annum. This debt has
been contracted 10y twenty States, which
will be required to pay it, since, as the war
is declared to be one Of extermination, the
'sex.erminaied States will not be able to
pay. Their means OF paying in any event is
crushed in proportion to the devastation
committed. The twenty millions Of North
ern people must therefore pay the debt; and
it compares with the British and French
debt aS follows:

Thus every successive Elk months the
daily increase is greater. This docs not in.

$3.50, 600 coo, but simply the paper outstand-
ing. 1t will be borne in mind, also, the sum
mentioned is not the whole expenditure, hut
simply that portion met by promises to pay.
We may now see what portion 0: this vast

A HEROIC KENTUCKY MArRoN. A
letter from Stanford, kentucky, to the
Cincinnati Commercial, narrates the fol-
lowing incident;
When Pegram's men were in Laucas-
ter Garrard County, one of his officers
and a squad of men rode up to the house
of Col. Lendrum then absent in the In
ion army, and ordered his wife to get them
a meal. She told them fatty that she
uIi not do It, They then threatened to
burn her house if she persisted to which
she herocalIy replied; " Then apply your
torch and pIl take my children and leave,
for will not prepare you flod," adding
that she thought they might find a brigade
of men to apply the torch also. Stunned
by this unlocked for courage and defiance
of an unprotected woman, they deemed it
better not to carry their threat into execu-
ton. The alluslon TO brigade of men
was understood by them when it became
known that her husband was then IN COM
mand of brigade in the Federal army.

Franklin, the chief place in the lower part

Gates importance in naviga ion. 0pe-

1900 inhabitants. The country which
lies between these two places has been Of
great value to the rebe,s, in atfortng sup
plies Of food and salt, and its occupation
BY cur forces will be severely felt.
Our news by way Of New Orleans did
not come down to Gen. Banks attack on

/ doubt that he had been successful. dis

is, that Gen. Banks had entirely cleared

vern, after which the enemy was totally
deaoralzed and was two days IN collect
ing his scattered forces. During the pro-
gress Of this battle Gen. Mcclellan was
most Of the time on board the gdnboats,
aud Gen. Hooker, when he had occasion
to communicate with him, could get no re-
plies. Had the enemy been properly fol-
lowed up at the close of this battle,
B" Richmond" says Cen. Hooker, "wouli
have been ours beyond a doubt"
Gen, Hooker was also examined in rela-
ton to the Maryland campaign under Gen.
Mcclellan, and concerning Gen. Burn
sides campaign, but We have no room for
further extracts. There has been less DIS
ute, comparatively, concerning the chief
facts relating to the latter and the most
apparent and perhaps chief point of fail
ure of Gen, Mcclellan, in the former arising
frem his habitual neglect to follow up and
reap any decisive advantage from favor
able battle, is already understood. Gen.
Hooker's evidence in relation to these
campaigns, however, is of great interest,
AMI not least in the respect mentioned
above, as afiording additional indications
of his own character as a military chief
tain, and of the probably decisive nature
of his operations in the campaign about
to open.
