Major-General Fl. W. Halleck General-in-
Chief-General I have the honor to report
that Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg are ours.
Last night our sappcrs mined the counter scarp
Of Fort Wagner on its sea front, unmasking all
its guns, and an order was issued to carry tht
place by assault at nine O'Clock this morning,
that being the hour of low tide.
About 10 o'clock last night the enemy COM
menced evacpating the island, and all but Is OF
them made their escapefrom Cummings Point
in small boats
Captured dispatches show that Fort Wagner
was commanded by Col. Keith, of South Caro-
lima, and garrsoned by ], 400 effective men, and
Battery Gregg by between ono and two hundred
men.
Fort Wagner is work of the most formidable
kind. It's bomb-prof shelter, capable OF con-
tanning 800 men, remains intact after the most
terrific bombardmeut to which any work was
ever subjected. We have captured 10 pieces OF
artillery and large supply of excellent ammu-
nition.
The city and harbor of Charleston are now
completely covered by my guns.

CINCINNATI, sept lO.-The following dispatch
has been received here from General Rosecrans's
army:
The Portland daily press., 1863-08-28
Freeport Correspondence.
SOUTH FREEPoRr, Aug. "A, 1868.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Early this morning the whistle of one of
your Portland steam tugs summoned our citi-
zens to witness the departure of another
new ship, the &C. NJ. DAVIS" from the yard of
Messrs. BRIGGS & CUSHING. She is noble
looking craft of about thousand tons, and
well constructed for stowage. This is the
third new vessel from the Ha-raseeket this
season. The first of the three, the &c. III.
SoULE," launched the second of July, is well
worthy visit, as she is soon to sail from
Portland. Her principal cabin is fine speci-
men of the work Of our ship joiners, and she
Is in every respect an A No. ship.
The GEORGE BURsHAM, launched at a la
ter day in July, from the yard of Messrs G. d
G. Bliss, is also in Portland abont to receive
her cargo-a Inc specimen or a brig. The
three vessels display different models and will
repay visit from your editorial staff Let
me call attention especially to the ornaments
and carved work upon these ships. They
are all by an artist resident here, and who IS
essentially self-taught. Mr.. Emery Jones has
done the carving and gliding upon these, also
upon the Gertrude, Just built at Cumberland.
and the Aid aud Others at Yarmouth. If YOU
have finer models and finish of stern boards
afioat in your city l have failed of seeing
them.
THE CROPS.
The hay crop Is nearly all housed save the
salt marsh-generally in good order and is
more nearly an average crop than was expec-
ted. Grain is partly harvested and is a full
average yield. Barley is in the ascendant
having larger breadth sown this year than
any other grain, and being more certain crop
than wheat or rye.
Corn is looking finely, and potatoes are lux
uriant. The yield will be abundant if spared
by the rust and disease. Early cut grain
fields will furnish liberal second crop, and
the fall feed is unusually fine. Much have we
then for which to hold thanksgiving, when the
Governor shall call, and in general we may be
grateful fol. business prosperity, and for good
share of social happiness.
RETURNED SOLDIERS.
Several soldiers of the 25th regiment have
returned to their homes, generally in good
health, and have resumed their business occu-
pauons. Two who had returned sick and dis
charged from the 18th regiment, are now re-
covered aud are among the conscripts, to be
examined early in October. In general the
drait has been quietly received, as becomes
loyal men. We will all hope that success may
soon crown the Union arms, so that those cali
ed TO service by the late conscriptiop may
nave out brief experience in camp life, and
but little severe conflict.
Efforts for the relief Of sick and wounded
soldiers are now in progress In Freeport, the
results OF which will soon be forwarded. Shall
we not all rejoice when peace is again restor-
ed! Especially II its foundations are justice
and equity. Addresses like that of Gen Shep-
ley VIII do much to educate public sentiment
ior an honorable peace G. p.

ing the casemates and officers quarters and
extending from the sea wall to the wall facing
Charleston.
The approaches to Wagner are slowly pro-
crossing. The high water last night swept en-
tirely over the North end of the Island making
the point upon which Forts Gregg and Wagner
are situated, entirely an island, and rendering
II difficult for engineers to work.
The deserters report that the three forts are
garrisoned by over three thousand men, thr
teen hundred being in Fort Wagner. 1t should
be remembered that these deserters left on
Sunday, and before the bombardment COM
menced in earnest. The reduction of those
formidable forts has thus far been almost en-
tirely the work of the army. The navy has
accomplished but little, but very few of the
shots from the monitors having hit the forts.
But two monitors, however, have directed their
fire upon the fort.
THE BoMBARDMENT ON THE 20rH.
From one end of our lines to the other, our
guns are pouring their fire against the devoted
gorge wall. But, though the effect of our pro-
jectiles is all that could be desired or expect
ed, the gorge wall obstinately stands. Enough
of the masonry yet remains to keep it per-
sistently upright. 1t refuses to come down,
till eaten, piece by piece, away. That the
rebels who constitute its garrison mean to
maintain their tenure to the last moment is
evident from the industrious manner in which
they are pilng sand bags into the apertures;
from their spiteful fire against our iron-clads
whenever they approach; from the steady flow
of shot and shell from Fort johnson and the
James Island batteries from the angry volleys
OF grape and canister and spherical case which
Wagner vomits forth, aud from the defiant
Haunting of the blood-red battle flag of the
Confederate States Army" from every flag
staff visible in their lines. We have no task
Of an hour before us, and the public must not
be impatient yet to learn of the reduction of
Fort Sumter. @
Fort Sumter enjoys as much impunity from
assault as If her fair outlines had never been
disturbed. Wagner is to-day as strong as when
this end of Morris Island was occupied by the
Federal forces-stronger perhaps; for its gar
rison has been increased. and wherever gun
has been disabled, another has been mounted
To military minds, the idea of assaulting Fort
Sumter, after three days bombardment at a
distance of thirty-fve hundred to four thous-
and yards, is simply ridiculous. The posses
sion of Wagner and Gregg is essential to our
occupation of Sumter. Operations looking to
their possession have not been lost sight of,
nor for moment suspended We will have
them, and Fort Sumter with them, in due time.
The iron-clads moved up abreast of Fort
Sumter last evening, but retired without firing
a shot. The heavy ocean swell washed into
their PORTFOLIOS as they were opened, and tcs-
troyed all accuracy in-the elevation of their
guns.

The Difference.

The King can drink the best of vine
So can L.;
And has enough when he would dine
So have /
And cannot order Rain or Shine
Nor can |.
Then where's the difference-let me see
Bstwixt my Lord the King and me?
Do trusty friends surround his throne
Night and day
Or make his interest their own?
No, not they.
Mine love me for myself alone
BLESSED be they;
And that's one difference which | see
Betwixt my lord the King and me.
Do knaves around me lie in wait
To deceive,
Or fawn and fiatter when they hate,
And would grieve?
Or cruel pomps oppress my state
By my leavel
No Heaven be thanked And here you see
More difference 'twixt the king and me
He has fools, with josts and quips,
When he'd play
He has his armies and his ships
Great are they;
But not child to kiss his lips,
Well-a-d day
And that's a difference sed to see
Betwixt my lord the King and me.
1 wear the cap and he the crown
What of that
l sleep on straw and he on down
What of that
And he's the King and I'm the clown
What of that?
If happy I, and wretched he,
Perhaps the King would change with me

CHATTANooGA.-The city of Chattanoo-
ga used to contain about 5000 inhabitants,
four or five churches, five hotels, two print
ing offices, bank, a number of very fine
residences, etc. 1t is in Hamilton county,
Tennessee, Just north of the dividing line
between that State and Georgia, situated on
the left bank of the Tennessee river, and is
the northern terminus Of the Western and
Atlantic railway, the southern terminus of
which is Atalana Georgia. 1t is also the
eastern terminus of the Nashville and Chat
tanooga railroad and forms the angular
connection with the line of railroad from
Charleston, S. c.. to Memphis, Tenn. 1t
is ISL miles from Nashville, 432 miles
from Charleston. The city is situated on a
high bluff, overlooking the rushing waters
of the Tennessee river, which at this point
spreads out to a greater extent than at
many others in that vicinity. Being the
terminus Of two important roads, and the
most prominent point on another, (the
Charleston and Mempis,) it became the
most available place where the rolling stock
Of all could be repaired and new stock
manufactured. Hence were established
here numel Gus machine shops, foundries,
ETC., which, up to the outbreak of the re-
bellion, were doing thriving business, and
contributing, in great measure, to the
advancement and prosperity of the place.

ENGLISH GIRLs.-The English girl
spends more than half her waking hours in
physical amusements, which tend to de-
velop, invigorate and ripen the bodily pow
ers. She rides, walks, drives, and rows
upon the wafer runs, dances, plays, jumps
the rope, throws the bow, keeps up the
shuttle-cock, and all this without having
it pressed forever upon her mind that she
is thereby wasting her time. She does this
every day until it becomes habit, which
she will follow up through life. Her
frame, as natural consequence, is large,
her muscular system is in better subordi-
nation, her strength more enduring, and the
whole tone of her voice healthier.
