The trunk of the celebrated "Shaks-
peAre Oak" at Windsor, which was re-
Gently blown down, is to be converted
into ornamental furniture for the princi-
pal rooms of Windsor Castle. The tree
is supposed to have been nourishing 800
wears previous to the reign of William
the Conqueror, and there is little doubt
that il is the identical tree alluded TO in
shakspesre's "Merry Wives Of Win isor."
Some portions Of the trunk are nearly in
a state of petriiication.

Charleston.

The principal point of interest in the
war panorama is now at Charleston. Our
dispatches state that Gen. GILMORE has
erected battery only 1000 yards from
''the fort" This must mean fort Wagner,
although it is said that Fort Sumter and
Fort Johnston keep up constant fire on
him. If GILMORE succeeds in reducing
Fort Wagner and Cummings Point he will
have the key to the whole situation in
Charleston Harbor 1t is only three
fourths of mile from Fort Sumter, and
with the same tact, judgment and skill
displayed by Gen. GILMORE at Fort Pu-
laski, near Savannah, that strong work
can be battered down at the distance named
in short time. Fort Johnston is one
mile and half from Cummings Point.
Fort Moultrie is one mile from Sumter.
Charleston itself is three and half miles
from Sumter. Fort Sumter is the only
really formidable defence of Charleston,
and its fall, in our view. carries with it
the fall of the city.

The Latest Olicfal News of the Indian
Expedition.

We are indebted to Col. MILLER for the
following intelligence from the Indian Ex-
petition:
General SHELLEY writes under date OF
July 10th, that he has arrived within thir-
ty-five miles of Devils Lake, without find
ing traces of Indians, other than small
scouting parties.
Half-breed hunters report that few
days previously Sioux camp of6oO lodges
had divided into three parties, Little Grow s
adherents forming one, and had gone in
different directions.
General SHELLEY leaves his heavy trans
portation behind under suitable detach-
ment, and presses on rapidly with the re-
mainder of his command, and twenty-five
days rations.
There is an excellent lake OF water at
the point from which be writes, which is
two miles west Of Lake Jessie, as laid down
upon the maps.
He has thus far found no scarcity of wa
ter or grass, except at isolated points. and
has thus far lost very few animals.

General Warren.

Brigadier General G. K WARREN, Chief
of Engineers with General MEADE, is thus
described; The General is man of maps
and Surveys when other officers rest, but
horse aud sword "when blows the blast of
war" A slight form, of medium height,
tawny face, small and sharp, clear, snap
ping, restless, black eye. Such is the ex-
terror OF this born warrior, whose personal
gallantry is that of KRARNEY or HOOKER,
and whose first glance at pivotal time
and place on field of battle is worth ten
thousand men to the General command
ing, to whom, after gallop like a tenn
pest, he shall give his opinion of the stu
alton and suggest the movement that
snatches victory from the jaws of disaster

INDIANS In MCLEOD COUNTY,
Three Persons Wounded near
Glencoe.

On Sunday last boy came into Glen
coe from the neighborhood known as the
Weidweit settlement, about three miles
distant, with a wounded man named
JULIUS EAME, stating that the Indians had
attacked the settlement there, and that
Mr.. WElDwElr and his wife were MUIR
dereo, and asking assistance, whereupon
detachment OF cavalry, commanded by
Lieut.. FARMER, and several citizen volun-
teers, repaired tothe scene of the murder.
On arriving IN the vicinity they found
MIR. ZONKE almost frantic with fright. who
informed the party that WEiDwErr and
his wife were murdered. The party then
went TO WEIDwEIr's house. and we're
happily disappointed in finding that
they were tnly wounded Mr.. Weld
WET was struck in one arm with one
bal and in the thigh with another.
His wife was struck in the chin with bail
WhIcl, came ont Under her lower law. A
man named EMME was struck with an ar
row IN his arm. Mr.. WEGDwErr said he
had just returned from Henderson, and in
going round the corner OF his house he
saw $50 Indians who Immediately fired,

and he laid against it on the inside to pre-
vent the Indians Getting in. His wife i'm
medlateiy grasped two children aad tossed
them np into an open garnet, SO that they
might be ont OF danger She then looked
out Of the window, when the Indians fired
and she received her wound.
When tie military arrived at the
house, Dir WElDwErr was still lying against
the door, and entrance was had through
the window. He was weak from loss of
blood and was calling for water, which his
wife could not get without Fgoiug out of
doors, and this she was afraid to do, SUP
posing the Indians we're still there
1t appears that the Indians let Mr..

still nearer Glencoe. Mr. ZoNKE and fam
lily had been warned OF the Indians, just
as they were about to dine. and had fled.
The Indians entered the house. ate ZoN-
KEs dInner; stole about twelve dollars, and
five loaves of bread, and threw many of
the articles in the house out of doors.
The Indians caught ZoNKE's dog and kill
ed him by cutting his throat. What is
most remarkable in this affair is, that the
indians contented themselves with wound
ing when they had it in their power to
kill. Mr.. LuDDEN, of Glencoe, from whom
We have learned the above particulars,
accompanied the military to the house of
Mr.. WEIpwr, and speaks of the conduct
OF the little children, three and five years
old, who were thrown up into the garnet,
as exhibiting most remarkable instinct or
Judgment. They had covered themselves
SO that they could not easily be discovered,
and remained silent, Notwithstanding they
could hear the groans of their wounded
parents; and it was not until they heard
the voices Of the citizens and soldiers who
had come 10 their assistance, that they
uncovered their heads, and looked down
upon the scene.

Intercepted Dispatches.

We publish elsewhere dispatches of
JEFF. DAVIS and his Adjutant General
COOPER, intercepted by our forces about
the time the battles at Gettysburg were
fought. 1t will be recollected that the
telegraph said those dispatches ordered
"LEE peremptorily to return to Rich
mond," and also said that " the movement
into Pennsylvania was wholly against his
wishes" We have read the intercepted
dispatches very carefully, and find nothing
in them to warrant the Interpretation given
by the telegraph, and conclude that JEFF.
never sent any dispatches of this character.

:ervention, only because England and
France, and all Europe, believed that
the rebels were strong enough, without
foreign aid, to achieve their own indepen-
dence.s The present situation of the re-
bellion has probably caused, or soon will
produce revolution in this respect, in
European opinion, and may therefore
cause change in the neutral policy of
England. This, we have no doubt is
the last hope of the rebel government.
The insurgent Vice President STEPHENS.
in his late speech at Charlotte, North Car
DINA, "exhorts the people to give the
Government a cordial support, to frown
down all croakers and grumblers, and re-
main united and fight to the bitter end"
telling them at the Same time, that for
eign intervention in their behalf will come.
but not yet; and the reason he gives for
this last hope is, that the great powers of
Europe will never permit the Union to be
restored, or the rebels to be conquered.
For the very reason that the rebels have
of late suffered series of crushing dis
asters, which, without foreign Intervention
must soon end the rebellion, they now
look for English and French aid in their
behalf, as more probable than at any for
mer time.
Therefore, although we have the van
tage ground, there never was time when
official blindness on tho part of our nation
al government, could do more harm than
low.
We have reached crisis wherein parti-
san folly and malignity may ruin the
Union cause, or enlightened statesman.
ship save it. 1t is the cpportune moment
to adopt policy founded in Christian
charity, and constitutional obligation-a
policy that will disappoint the last hope of
the rebel chiefs, and forestall foreign in
reference Now, if ever, is the time to
foster thu Union sentiment of the South
to take back the seeded States with their
constitutions, as fast as they will come
and to fulfill the pledges made at the COM
mencement of the rebellion by the Pr=si-
dent and by Congress, that the war should
be prosecuted on the part of the National
Government, for the purpose only of re-
storing the people of the seeded States
to their allegiance under the constitution
of the United States.
Restore the Union and slavery will not
only cease to be dangerous power in the
country, but will also enter upon course
of rapid extinction.
Why then shall the cause of the Union,
so nearly successfully be endangered to
crafty thu radical republicans, whose ru-
ling passions are revenge and lust OF pow

The Fulton (Mo) Telegraph states
that petition is being circulated in the
southwestern part of the State, by Edwin
Price, asking the President to permit Ster-
ling Price to return to Missouri. 1t is said
that he is penitent, and desires to abandon
the rebel cause, come home, and spend the
remainder of his days in peace This is one
of those rumors that are called singular,

more than year ago, and has since lived
quietly on his farm in Charlton county.

Raids.

Upon the comparative usefulness Of
cavalry raids to the insurgents and the
federals, the New York World has the
following truthful remarks:
The chances of success in important raids.
are, between us and the rebels, exactly revers-
ed. The strength of the COnfederacy is in the
periphery of the circle of its defence. Once
inside, and there are neither armies nor people
to resist an enterprising commander. With us
it is different-a population of able-bodied
males, large reserves of semi-organized troops,
and abundance of weapons Raids are much
to be feared by the enemy, and but little by us.
One energetic raid around Atlanta, would Grip
pie the whole railroad transportation of the
South. After the damage is done, it is not of
the first importance that the raiders should es-
cape, as they have already ''paid for them
selves" Horse stealing and foraging are the
chief ends to which the rebels can hereafter
invade the North; but we, on the contrary,
may sever that connection between the parts
OF the Confederacy which is essential almost
to it's existence.

grieved party has the remedy of "ca,ry-

grieved party has the remedy of ''ca,ry-
ing tho case Mp!"
Now, when the matter is considered
that if the Judgment does not exceed fif-
teen dollars, it cannot be "carried up ~
unless the costs and certain other fees are
paid, and that in any case the carrying
up process is attended with much delay,
vexation and expense, it may be readily
seen how cOgent reason the Judgment
has for its support.
Of course this state of things is not
universal, bus it does exist to such an
extent that it is an every day cause for
complaint Neither the official oath nor
the fear of shame has any force to restrain
proceedings of the kind we have spoken
of from occurring SO frequently that the
arbitration of these courts is regarded as
uncertain as the clipping of "copper""
and the courts themselves as synonyms
for injustice. If an outraged defendant
removes his case to the next, and perhaps
the same kind Of Justice, he must first
pay the costs, or if he submits to the first
court he knows lie must be overcome.
He sees the Justice writing ont the judg-
lnent against him and taxing up the bill
of costs, while he is offering the evidence
in his defence; and is served with an exc
cution while his attorney is citing the law.
And yet there is no remedy for these
things. No legal restraint can be placed
upon what is leniently called judicial error,
though it be nothing but the most palpa-
bic and outrageous injustice. Now, we
are convinced that if the power was vested
in the judges of the Superior Courts to
punish at discretion every such offender
against the law and honesty, by ining
ilim in every case where such ,oiLfal
injustice is done, with three times the fees
by him thus extrrted, We should very soon
see very different state Of justice in
these minor courts, administered by very
different sort of men,
Gould any aspiring candidate for the
uext Legislature Of this State, conceive
some plan by which this crying evil coald
be remedied, it would better secure his
election than dozen schemes for ilnprac-
ticable railroads, or twice his hat full OF
promised ferry charters; and its success
would be more enduring aud serviceable
platform to run on for Congress, than is
now stood on by the whole of the present
delegation. We hope some Of these cam
didates will look to this, tor we believe
that this relic OF a "new country" prac-
tice, in common with many others that
should be exposed, has been endured about
long enough.

Justice and Costs in Justices Courts.
We have heard certain judicial grew
ance so often spoken of, that We are con-
vinced there is much actual ground for
popular complaint; and that the wrong is
not limited to our own city, but has gen.
eral prevalence throughout the State.
The matter, OF which we speak, is the
gross partially, with which law is admin
istered in Justices Courts.
1t may be objected that this is not a
proper subject of newspaper criticism but
this objection will only be made by those,
who are participants in the wrong, of which
We complain.
Again, it may be objected that judicial
Partially can not be, from this nature, of
80 general a character, that it ever amounts
to anything more, than isolated instan-
ces of error, or undue, individual preju-
dices. But it so happens, that the par
TALLY, of which we speak, is of such ma
ture, that its isolation is only limited by
the amount of self regard a justice of the
peace may have for his costs, while the
only prejudice exhibited. is that which
0ictimises the party best able to pay!
Now, if any person will recur to these
judicial fanctionaries of his acquaintance,
he will find, as general thing, that the
most of them are men of more than ordi-
nary shrewdness and tact, and that their
character for ability and intelligence is
such that it might properly be expected of
them that, though they may err occasion
ally in common with the rest of humanity,
yet that they should not have fallen into
a habit of that kind of methodicM error
which always results in best securing their
own fees
We are credibly informed that there
is quite numerous class of these dispens-
ers of justice whose course of administrat-
ing that sacred boon which the poet has
said should "be done, though the sky
fall" justifies the waggish Interpretation
of the initial suffix of J. P. to their names
to mean nothing more than legal abre.
Walton of Justice for Plaintiff! In palmer
words we mean that all any scallawog has
to do is to trump up" a cause of action
against any responsible man and sue be-
fore one Of these Justices for Plaintiff, and
the plaintiff is sure to get judgment.
Bpt reverse the parties, and the judgment
in any case is quite sure to be reversed
also. And all the reason that will be as
signed for the decision by the Justice will
be in nine cases ont of ten that the ag-
