NEW YORK, Aug. H.
The Heralds correspondence states tina,
recent reconnoissances demonstrate that there
is still force of rebel infantry in the Shenan-
doah valley, ready to fall upon our rear in case
our army advances without due consideration.
The main force of Lees army Is on the line
OF the kapidan, and Lees headquarters are at
Gordonsyille. Intelligent prisoners say his
force is not SO large now as when he crossed
the Potomac, though he has received 1900
reinforcements from the cotton States.
Admiral Porter has been grantedtwo months
leave OF absence, and will visit the North after
making the necessary arrangements for the
management OF the Mississippi fleet during his
absence.
The new fractional currency is ready for
issue, but will not be put in circulation for one
or two months, as there is still on hand large
amount OF the postal currency to be issued.
All gambling saloons in Washington have
been closed by the police.
The Times Washington dispatch says a
rebel lieutenant who has recently deserted

brings reports indicating AN almost hopeless
condition of affairs for the rebel Confederaey.
Great dissatisfaction is said to exist among the
North Carolina, Tennessee and Mississippi
soldiers. who are anxious to return to their
respective States. The North Carolnians are
especially clamorous, and declare that once at
home they will throw down their arms and
abandon the rebel cause. The troops from
the southwestern States say there is no use in
further resistance since Vicksburg and Port
Hudson have fallen.

The State Is full of rumors of contemplated

soldiers. The house Of the man who shot the
soldier was burned down on the night of the

and secessionists, each accusing the other of
the deed.
Gen. Wright, Military Commander at San

~ The Springfield Republican says,
about six weeks ago a good looking villain,
who called himself J. w. S. Wells, began a
systematic course of swndling in that city.
He issued a handful headed "Uuion Relief
Association" which gave the particulars of
wells twentieth grand gift distribution" in
which there were $4,000 prizes. The tickets
were sold at so cents apiece, and every pur-
chaser was warranted to receive at least the
worth of his ticket in prize, while he had a
ehance of getting house and lot in this city,
horses, pianos, jewelry, &c. The unwary
were iured to invest by the promise that the
70. 'o uissrioution were TO be scrupu-
lousy appropriated TO soldiers widows and
orphans, and It was stated that all the prizes
had been made up by wealthy men in consid-
Grafton of this patriotic object. The scheme
thus prepared was put in operation by a large
number of agents, who were paid 10 per cent.
commission, and who went all through the ru-
raj towns Of Connecticut and Vermont, besides
portions of New Hampshire and Maine. The
distribution was TO be made July 25ih, and
previous to that date every mail brought
scores of letters to the swinder; but little
before that time he left, leaving directions to
nave them forwarded to Halifax, N. s., and
mere the larger number Of persons who are
now anxiously inquiring for him can address
him.

Mary Curran was tried on an Indictment
charging her with an aggravated assault on
Catharine Fox, as mentioned In our columns
two weeks since. The defense was that Cath
arine went to the house of Mrs. Curran decid-
eddy drunk, and was ordered away. SUISSE
quently she returned as drunk as ever, and in
using necessary force to eject her, she fell
against the bannistcrs, broke them, aud tum-
bled down, thereby receiving the injuries of
which she complained. There was great
deal Of conflicting testimony in the case, es-
pecially in the statements of Mrs. Fox and Mr..
and Mrs. Curran. J. oDonnel, Esq, appear
cd for the defence, and NJ. NJ. Butler, County
Attorney, for the State. The case was given
to the jury without argument of counsel, I'M
der the charge OF the judge, and they return
ed verdict of not guilty.
Thomas Welsh was tried on an Indictment
charging him with larceny of gold and bills to
the amount Of 500, from James Inness. From
the testimony it appeared that the parties were
boarders at the Canadian House, and the
amount,thirty sovereigns and ten dollar bill,
was taken from his pocket during the night
time. Subsequently twenty-nine of the SOW
ereigns were found in barrel of sawdust in an
out-building, tied up in a handkerchief, to-
gether with brush, the latter of which be-
longed to the prisoner. The $40 bill was
afterwards found in the street. The larceny
was brought home to the prisoner by comics
sions alleged to have been made to one Of the
police officers. Mr.. O'Donnell defended the
prisoner with great zeal. The County Attor-
ney, Mr.. Butler conducted the case for the
State. The jury will return their verdict

Gunboats attacked by Indians Hostility
OF Different Tribes.

CHICAGO, Aug. IL.
A special dispatch from st. Paul. Min, says
DR.. Hoyt has just returned from the Idaho
Gold Mines. He reports that in battle be-
tween the passenger steamers Shreveport aud
Robt. Campbell and the Indians, 100 miles be-
low Fort Union, on the Missouri river, twen-
ty-eight Indians were killed, and a number
wounded. Three whites were killed and two
wounded. The boats were on a sand.b bar, and
had two howitzers, and were barricaded with
bundles of buffalo hides. DR.. Hoyt reports
that all the Indians on this side of the Rocky
Mountains are hostile. He thinks the expedi-
ton OF Capt. Fiske will fail.
A letter from Gen. Sibley's expedition, dated
James River, July 2lst, says battle is ex-
pected with the Indians within two days. 1t
seems TO be the design of the Indians to leave
the prairie and draw our forces into the hilly
country of the Missouri, and there give them
battle.

The Herald's Morris Island, S. c., correspon-
dent, under date of the 9th and It'll instants,
reports our position stronger and safer than
ever. The morale and confidence of our
troops are unexampled, although the rebels
keep pouring in shells from Forts Wagner,
Sumter and other Notifications. The protec-
tion to our troops is so complete that our cas-
ualties are hardly worth noticing
Capt. Paine, of the Tooth New York regi-
ment, with nine men, were captured by the
rebels on the night OF the 4th, while on a scout
near Lighthouse Greek. They made spirit
ed but unsuccessful resistance TO superior
numbers.
On Sunday there was a terrific engagement
between the gunboats, monitors aud Ironsides
and our troops on Morris Island and the rebel
forts. The rebel guns were finally silenced.-
boat belonging to the Ironsides, while on
picket duty last Wednesday night, was run
down by rebel steamer. But two OF the
crew were drowned, and the balance saved by
another of our boats. No prisoners were tax
en- by the rebels.
