patton of Charleston. The iron -clads, once
within range, might hammer away at the
city; but at the same timo they would hnd
themselves under the concentrated hire ol

could not afford to devote themselves long
to the work of destruction. They would

ton.
The real danger to be apprehended from
the presence of Yankee fleet in the inner
harbor, would be that it would cut OF com
munication between the batteries and the
city, which is the base Of operations and the
centre of supplies. But again the Monitors,
which can only carry limited supply OF
csal, provisions and munitions OF war,
would be cut off from their base OF opera
tons, since none Of the wooden vessels
could dare to run the gauntlet for the pur-
pose of brllging these things to them. The
Monitors would also haveto encounter three
Confederate iron. clads armed with heavy
Brooke guns of great penetrative power.
These iron-clads, unlike the unfortunate
Fingal, would not be apt to get aground,
as they have steamed around every square
yard of The harbor and know it all. 1t is
now known that the arrnor Of the Fingal
was not penetrated, but the sustaining
wood work was not strong enough to sus-
tain the impact Of the immense four hun
dred and thirty pound projectiles thrownat
her while she was aground The iron-clad,
in Charleston harbor are much stronger, and
as already remarked, not likely to get
aground 1t is true they are slow, but so
are the Monitors, and even if the latter were
twice as fast as our boats, their fear of tor
pedoes, Instructions and all sorts of things
would prevent them from deriving any ad-
vantage from their superior speed.

SECOND DESPATCH. e-
ATLANTA, Sept. %, 1853.
1t is stated on authority deemed reliable
that the enemy has buried all his stores at
Chattanooga, and that no Yankee in arms IS
south of the Tennessee river to; day.
There is no confirmation of the report OF
the occupation Of Chattanooga by General
Bragg; but it is generally believed.
Information comes in slowly from the
front.
Our loss is variously estimated at from
5000 to 10000, of which tivesiAths are
wounded slightly. The loss of the enemy
in killed, wounded and prisoners is various
ly placed at from $4,000 to $4,000.
Large quantities of arms, baggage, &c,
have been brought into the various depots
in the rear. The army trains have moved
forward.
Many Of the wouuJed are in hospitals
near Rock Spring. Others have been
brought to Dalton, Marietta snd Atlanta.
Tho association press reporter is at the
front, and it Is hoped that he will be per
mitted TO send in true reports.

was amputated. He says he will live to

From the Wilmington JournaI sept 10
The great object of Gen. Gilmore IN aim
ing at the destruction or capture OF Port
Sumter was eyidedtly to remove that ob
stacle to the passage Of the vessels Of war
into the inner harbor of Charleston and so
on to the city. He has done about all he
can do against Sumter. He has pretty
much ruined it, but the Confederate Tag
still floats over its ruins, and the attempts
of the iron-clads to run past and enter the
inner harbor have not been successful

on them, and our forts and batteries joined
in the conflict As nothing but iron-clad'
could in any case venture to make the az

The Assault on Battery Gregg.
From the same paper.

Another assault has been made at Char
lesion this time on Battery Gregg, which
met with similar result as those made on
Wagner some time since. We should think
the enemy had had experience enough in
their futile efforts to reduce Charleston to
give this thing up as bad job. We learn
that, from certain captured letters several
days since, that the ensmy is quite despon-
dent of success, and we'll they may be-
Gilmore had as well abandon his project
and withdraw his forces, and thereby per-
nit our heroic men to have little rest,
which, no doubt, would be very acceptable
Just at this time
The enemy have at last got entire pos
session of Morris Island. and are now with
in short range of Fort Sumter; the walls of
which they had previously battered down,
still the fort has not been abandoned or sur
rendered. Wagner and Gregg have been
evacuated by our forces. We presume,
but we do not know the fact to be so, that
our forces are now in stronger position
than ever. We believe this to be the case.
We hold James Island, which, if we are
not mistaken, is the key to the city by
land Whether the Monitors will be able
to pass over the distractions and the land
batteries on Sullivan's Island and Fort
MoultIe is yet to be tested. Our iortlfi-
cations may all be taken, or we may be
compelled to evacuate them, but that is not
taking the city by any means. We look
for important news from Charleston at any
moment.
CHARLESTON, Sept. %, 1863,
Last evening four Parrot guns on Sulli-
vans Island opened more rapid lire upon
the enemy than has been heard for the past
fortnight. The fire was maintained all

Impressments I'm Georgia.
ATLANTA, Sept. "a, 1863.

ATLANTA, Sept. "A, 1863.
Governor Brown has issued proclama
ton concerning impressments Of private
property for public use. He is informed
that subalterrs, without authority, frequent.
Iy impress and give certificates not binding
upon the government. These practices
ALLEVIATE the people from the government
and he is sure the president does not ap'
prove of the outrage.
While the government has the power to
make impressments, he is satisfied that it
should not be exercised by subalterns with,
out written Instructions. He considers it
the duty of the State to protect the citizens
against unauthorized seizure.
He informs the citizens of their rights,
and says it is their duty to resist impress
ments by persons who cannot show legal
authority. He directs all the State, civil
and military authorities to assist persons in
defending their property against illegal seiz,
ure, and arrest and commit to Jail all per
sons impressing without authority, until a
warrant is Issued against them for robbery.
He defines the authority that should be
shown to authorize impressment. He does
not intend to embarass the government
agents in the just execution of their duty,
but will protect the people against outrages.

Doubt, Of the Richmond Press.

The telegraph this morning adds but lit
tie to what was already known of the great
battle in Tennessee. THERE'S some amplif-
cation of details, but we have no new light
on what is the great and critical uncertain
ty of the story, the fate Of Chattanooga.
Ii our victory ends with Chattanooga it is
comparatively unimportant, We will have
repulsed the enemy, but will leave him in
possession of his stronghold in Tennessee and
in in occupation of his former lines.
We trust however, that our victoryi is not
thus negative, and that it will prove some
thing more than mere check to the enc
nv. The context Of our own kilograms
and the Northern accounts Of the battle
alike induce US to believe that our army
had either got between the enemy and
Chattanooga or was in position to compel
the surrender of that place, and thus follow
up aud consummate its victory. Chatta'
nooga is said to be one of the most detensl'
bic places Oh the continent; but if Rose
crans' communications are cut and his reaI
threatened. as we have reason to suppose
he cannot hold this great citadel of the
West and tho splendid army that he ha'
marched from it is at the mercy Of the vic
tors who pursue it. Chattanooga taken, w
shall regain the control of East Tennessee
re-estabish the defence of Virginia, ant
shield anew the hearts of the confederacy
f The enemy's accounts Of the recent bat
tie are given in another column. There
, the usual Yankee equivocatiou, bet tn
general conclusion is that Rosecrans ha
l been "badly beaten;" that the intelligenc
e is painful" and that the details are on
likely to confirm and amplify the sense
