force, says they have been Joined by Sioux
Interpreter. This interpreter had just come
from Devils Lake and reports that Little
Crow is about used up. He has not much
powder, and Ind set his men to making bows
and arrows~ He had but sixty-th1ee follow
crs, and Ill his efforts to induce the remainder
Of the tribe to join in this war were unayai}-
ing.
They blamed him for bringing on the war,
and declared then selves ready to surrender,
and wanted him to leaye. lie acted Oh their
advice, and the morning the Interpreter left
lie started for Black Ellis, at the mouth Of
Yellow Stone River, which is beyondthc Mis-
souri, and Dakota.

proves correct, the Indians on our frontier

St. Cloud and Clearwater have turned ont

Indians left the game they were preparing

a Furious Grill War Raging.
A FEARFUL CARNAGE IN ATHENS,

BosToS, July 29.-Dr. King writes to the
7'awiftr from Athens, Greece, under date of
July 18th, Us follows: am now In the midst
Of civil war. Party spirit and love Of rule
have at length divided the soldiers and citi-
zcns into two hostile bands. In the streets
and squares Of the city blood has been flowing
for two days.
On July 1st and I'd the battle WAS incessant-
" raging, and the sound Of guns and cannon
told us that the work Of death was going On.
Yesterday, July Sd, through the intcrven-
tion OF the ministers of the three protecting
powers, Frunce, England and Russia, truce
Of IS hours WAS proclaimed, which will end
tonight OF tomorrow, and the above named
ministers have proclaimed that if fighting
should commence during the time of the
truce, they will all leave the place, 70 on
board ships, and invite all under their
protection to SO also, and cut of all connec-
tion with country from which true patriot-
Ism seems to be forever ex1led.

Fort Wagner, three-fourths Of the Island
was in our possession; hyc tatter1eg
had been erected, In all containing
nine 80 pount aud four 20pound Par
Eotts, and ten 10-incl mortars on the left.
with i've 20.poEr:I PARROTS, ten 10 inch NOR
tars, and three s,ll batteries Of light artillery
on the right. Tie tarthworks protecting these
guns extcrdcd from the ocean beach on
the right to the edge of swamp,
about 500 yards from small creek separat-
ing Morris Island from James Island. The
whole line Of batteries sweeps In the form Of
4 semicirc1e, and is ut all points about /, 500
yards from Fort Wagner. Nearly all the guus
upon the left we're only about COO yards from
Fort Sumter; but being Of light calibre COM
pared with the ones on that formidable
structure, were not, 50 the reports say,
brought to bear upon her at any time duung
the action.
Ger. Gilmore designs to takc Fort Wagner
and Cummingp' Point battery. This will
bring his heavy guns within easy range of
Sumter, when they can render efficient aid
to our six Monitors. 1t will bc case as to
which can "poun'l !" the longest, and Gen.
Gilmore has shown himself good at the busi+
ness. His total losses since he commenced
operations will 10: exceed LOGO. Tho rebel
loss is nearly equal to this, their strong oppo-
sitiun to our tirst fuothold on Morris Island,
costing them 800 men, while ours was but
thirty. There is every reason for encourage
mcnt md patient waiting to be derived from
AZ F%f.

Our map gives very correct representation
OF the 1arbor Of Charleston and It's detcnces
the channels, Of which there are four, bein.
indicated by dotted lines. In the first eeaad
naval attack Oil the city, Dupont boldly threw
forward his Monitors into the main channels,
pressing us near Sumter as possible, receiving
during the entire attack . terrific concentr,t-
ed fire from the entire lire of rebel batteries.
In this attack the land forces bore no part.
Gen. Gilmore has gone another way at work,
He is making his approach more gradually,
but more surely, by Morris Island. This is a
low stretch Of sand, about three miles long
and irregular In width, whose situation, with
reference to the entrance Of Charleston 1lar-
bor. will best be noted on the map, It bud,
at the time Of Dupont's attack, range Of
batteries behind earthworks, covering at
easy distance tho Maatt or Ship Channel,
and extending along the seward side of the
island.
Gen. Gilmore determined to get foothold
On Morris Island, and has done SO. He is now
eolidly established thereon, having landed
heavy siege guns and a competent land force,
thus holding ground to push forward his
