From the Boston Traveller.


A private letter from the vicinity of Charles
ton contains some information of interest at
the present time. We quote -
''Since leaving Charleston harbor learn
that number Of the officers of the iron-clads
have been obliged TO retire in consequence of
the eXhausting character of their duties on
board, and that their places have been sup
piled by others.
There has been another serious accident on
board the IRON clad Naliant. They were con-
densing water on board, and as the water for
some time past has been rather brackish,
mnch pains were taken at this time to remedy
the evil. The officer of the deck, therefore,
requested the captain Of the hold to bring him
little to try. As the tank was unscrewed
the steam and boiling water rushed out, Scald-
ing terribly seven men, in some instances
causing the skin to peel off. Their cries of
agony as their wounds were dressed were
quite distressing. They were skitully at
tended by DR.. c. Ellery Stedman OF Boston,
under whom all our sick and wounded receive
the best of care and attention. One Of the
men scalded is the carpenter of the Nahant,
MIR John johnson of Manchester. n. ii.
They are all on board the Vermont at Port
Royal, and are likely to recover.
During the recent attack upon fort Wagner
the Nahant had two shots penetrate her decks,
while the stern of the vessel was opened three
inches by shot from fort Wagner.
On Sunday morning, July Goth, two men
came down the river from fort Thunderbolt.
One of them, an Irishman, ran away, and
brought the other "a young man belonging to
Atlanta, Ga.,) against his Will. Ihey ooth
were attached to the 63d Georgia regiment
They state that there is ram just below Sa-
vannah, but do not think she intends coming
down, but if she does she will most assuredly
be gobbled up by our iron-clads, as was the
Atlanta"

The DRAFT IN New YoRK.-The New
York Commercial Advertiser says that for sew
eral days past innumerable applications have
been made throughout the city by United
States officers to obtain use of building
in which to carry out the draft; but in every
case they were met with refusal. While
there are large number of suitable places va
cant, the owners decline leasing them on the
ground that they are afraid in case of any
trouble arising the structures will be denol-
ished. They were, however, assured that
their property would be protected, and in case
of any INJURY the government would promptly
not succeed.

The Richmond papers announce the death
OF one somewhat notorious rebel, and the ar
rival OF another at deaths door. The funeral
services of the late William L. Yancey took
place on the 29th ult., at Montgomery, where
he died few days previously. John B. Floyd
is also lying dangerously ill at the residence
ofhs mother near Richmond. Both had ceased
to be of much value to the rebel cause, its pro-
portions having outgrown them both. Mr..
Yancey's usefulness eliminated the instant
when the conflict was transferred from the TO-
rum to the field. He was accomplished as an or
tor, and had considerable power as an agitator.
But he had little skill as a diplomatist, and none
at all as soldier. So that the power which
he was among the foremost in making long
ago ceased to furnish him employment, and
left him alone to die. Floyd's mission, too,
ceased with the plumber of materials of war
belonging to the United States, while the Sc.
cession conspiracy was yet in the bud. He
never received sufficient credit from his en-
ployers for his brilliant success as a thief
probably because his subsequent failure as a
soldier was so disgraceful and complete. He
lived long enough to find out that confedera-
cies can be ungrateful, and will probably have
as few mourners to lament his death as there
were to applaud his military career in their
service.
