CHARGE ON THE REBEL RIFLE PITs
AT FoRT WAGNER. The Traveller pub
fishes letter from Morris Island, which
gives the following account Of gallant
charge by the Oath Massachusetts Regi-
ment upon rebel rifle pits near Fort Wag-
ner. The charge was made on Wednes-
day evening, August 26. The writer be-
longed to boat party with howitzers who
covered the attack:
"At 6 o'clock the Oath Massachusetts,
charged upon the pits, fifty yards distant,
with their rifle in one hand and a shovel
ia the other. The rebs could not wait for
them but started on the run. As soon as
they made their appearance upon the
beach, we opened on them at point blank
range with canister and they fell in heaps.
The rest found the beach too hot for them.
and run back to the pit and gave them
selves up. There were about one hundred
men in the pit, sixty-seven of whom were
captured, including two lieutenants, ten
or fifteen were killed, and the balance es-
capped to Fort Wagner. The Oath lost
two killed and five wounded. As soon as
the prisoners were sent to the rear, the
men seized the shovels and enlarged and
strengthened the pits, SO as to make 1t al
most impossible to retake them. Our how
itzers have been placed there in good po-
sition for raking the beach. We are now
within two hundred yards of Fort Wag
ner, and in high ground, which gradually
ascends all the way to the fort. The Oath
made gallant charge, and their praise is
in every ones mouth"

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER. The
Washington Intelligencer concludes an ed
itorialin its fridays issue,upon the Gre
construction" question, with the follow
ing highly interesting discourse upon the
Presidents letter;
"The reader may think that in this
pursuit of truth under difficulties, we
would naturally have sought for solu-
ton by interrogating the letter of the
President himself to the Springfield meet
ing. which reached us after the above ci-
tations We're prepared, and which appears
in this days paper, and this we have not
failed to do: but, truth to say. with every
sentiment of respect for the President, and
with every disposition TO treat his letter
with the candor due it, and also in the sin
Gle mndedness with which we are sure it
was written, we have not found it an easy
task on a single parusal to reduce it to its
simple elements, to subject it to an inter-
probation explicit enough to inspire US with
confidence in its correctness, or at least to
deduce from 1t anything to elucidate the
proiet put forth by the late Solicitor of
the War Department. We shall think it
our duty to examine with care as well as
with respect the exposition of his views
which the President has deemed it proper
to offer to the country in this letter, and
submit to our readers any thoughts which
its further perusal may suggest"
The country will await with the most
painful suspense, the reduction of the let
ter to its ''simple elements" and its sub
lection to an Interpretation by the Intelli-
gencer, explicit enough to inspire that hi
larious old cotemporary with confidence
in Its correctness, or at least to deduce
from it something ''to elucidate the pro-
jet" &c. We trust on the other hand,
with all due Difference, that the process of
submitting to the country the thoughts
which a re-perusal of the letter may sug-
gest, will not be gone through with by the
lntellgencer with such rapidity as to ex-
cite its nervous system.

Drafting in the time Oh 'fae fSe'"i"
ti0n,

The Evening Post recalls to tho memo
ry of those who have read the history OF
the Revolution the action of the Congress
at that period in relation to the principle
Of drafting. and to offer for their digestion
the following morsel Of history. On the
Goth of February. l77S, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted by
Congress:
Resolosj, That the several States here.
matter namrd'be required forthwith to ill
M Hv drafts from their militia or in any
either way that shall he ettectual, their re-
spactive battahons of Continental troops
All persons drafted shall serve in the
Continental battalons of their respective
States for the space Of nine months from
the time they shall respectively appear at
the several places Of rendezvous herenaE
ter mentioned, unless sooner discharged.
Resoiged, That all persons, in whatever
way procured for supplying the deticlen-
eies in the Continental battalious. unless
enlisted for three years or during the war.
shall be'constdered as drqtts &c,
On the 9th of March, 1879, it was
again
Resolged That it be earnestly recon-
mended to the several States to make up
and complete their respective battalions to
their full complement By drafts, or IN any
other manner they shall think proper, and
that they have their quotas of Deficiencies
ready to take the field, and to march to
such place as the Commander-in-Chief
shall direct, without delay.
