NEW YORK, August 25.--Specials this
morning contain but little news. I
The Tribune has the following:
Gen. Burnside declares all ferries over
the Ohio River and other streams within
the limits of the Department of the Ohio,
military highways, when the interests OF
the service require it, will be subject to the
military authorities.
A party of guerrillas who were attempt
ing to steal horses and destroy canal boats
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, on Sat-
urday last, near Seneca Falls, were hand
somely repulsed twice, and finally driven
away, by a detachment of Col. Parker's
Rangers. A rebel Lieutenant was killed
and other rebels wounded.
A wagon and five men from the I'D
Ohio, were captured by dozen guerrillas
near Greenwich Saturday.
A Morris Island letter to the Herald,
states that the appearance OF the face of Ft.
Sumter, last night, was not like that pre-
sented by Ft. Pulaski on theevening Of the
first days fire. Thirty Or forty large holes
could be counted on the face of the works.
The parapet was knocked in pieces. The
barricade of bricks covering the magazines
and sand traverseS, were seriously dam
ased. and the grim old Fort looked as tho
she mad received severe treatment at our
hands. Three days of such work will
bring down Sumter around the heads ofits
defenders, if they wait so long. 1t certain
ly cannot hold out much longer than that
time. Six days were given it to hold out,
by those who best knew its strength and
our offensive power. Forts Wagner and
Gregg will be attended to in time. f.s

SUMTER GONE UP.
Gilmore Demands Surrender.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. M.-The steam
er from City Point has arrived.
The Richmond Sentinel of the oath con-
tains the following highly important dis
patches:
CHARLESTON, Aug. 2.-The fire of the
enemv's land batteries has been kept upon
Sumter, and her barbette guns have been
disabled, a heavy fire has also been kept
upon Wagner and Gregg from the feet and
land batteries. Gilmores demand for the
surrender of Sumter and Morris Island,
with threats to shell Charleston in four
hours from the delivery of the papers at
Fort Wagner, was received and returned
this morning. Beauregard, in reply
charges inhumanity and violation of the
laws of war against Gen. Gilmore, and af-
firms that If the otfense is repeated he will
employ stringent measures Of retaliation.
Up to this time the threat to shell the city
has not been executed.
CHARLESTON, Aug. 23.-On Saturday
GOA shots were fired at Sumter, 4l9 struck
inside and outside. The east wall is seal
ed and battered, and the parapet under
mined The north and west walls and
arches have fallen in. The guns are all
dismounted. On Sunday the land batter
les opened from the south and north and
and the monitors from the east and west,
coming close up. The fire was very dam
aging, the shot sweeping though the Fort,
and wounding several officers, including
Col. Rhett. The latter is ordered to hold
out until relieved, or the place is taken.-
Col, Guilford. of Fort Wagner, was killed
and several others wounded. 1t is said
there are % vessels inside the bar, incfu-
ding the iron clads. Gen. Gilmore sent

evening of the 22d, in Latitude 81, Longi-
tude "a, he picked up boat belonging to
the U, s. Brig Bainbridge, which was full
of water, and contained colored
man named Smith, who stated
that on the 2lst instant during a
gale the Brig foundered with all hands
on board, except himself and cook. The The
latter went crazy, and after, being five
hours in the boat jumped overheard. The
cambridge sailed from this port ON Tues

Bombardment of sumter.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. A-The steam
er City of Baltimore arrived in Hampton
Roads yesterday noon. She reports that
she left off Charleston, at noon on Saturday
last. The flags of Sumter were shot away
on Thursday and Friday, and that no re-
ply was made to our bombardment, which
was constantly kept up. The whole Of the
south west side of Sumter was demolished,
and is nothing but heap Of ruins. On
Friday noon, nine breaches could be dis
tinctly seen in the fort. Our casualties av-
erage only about four daily.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Two steam trans
ports from off Morris Island midnight of
the 2lst, report that the bombardment con-
tinued. The south wall Of Sumter had
been demolished almost to its base. Forts
Wagner, Gregg and other batteries replied
at short intervals. An expedition was fit
ting out to silence James Island batteries,
which had became very annoying. Every
confidence in our success is felt by all.

Dennis Bergman, 6. Smith, Jos. Hol-

cey Dix, reported killed, not hurt; w. H.
r. Sykers, not hurt.
Up to this morning l2s bodies have been
buried, but it is still utterly impossible to
obtain a complete list of their names, as
many are SO much disfgured as to prevent
| recognition, while others are still missing
and are supposed to be concealed in the
woods near by, or they may be in the
ruins of buildings.
Many left with Lane in pursuit of the
mtlrderers and had not yet returned. Cit
izens continually passing back and forth
between this place and Lawrence, bring
the details of scenes that occurred in the
streets and houses of the doomed city,
which are heart-rendlng and sickening.
The last account we have of Quantrel
and his men is up to Saturday night, at
which time he was being pursued closely
by Lane, who had been skirmishng with
him, constantly since he left Lawrence.
Lanes force is being increased rapidly by
farmers, who were focking to him with
their arms.
1t was the determination to follow him
into Missouri, and if he disbaneed his gang
they would hunt them down like wolves
and shoot them. One of their number cap
tured, gave the names Of fifty of Quantrelf's
gang, who are citizens of Jackson county.
Mo-, and are well known here, and have
| always been considered good Union men,
The best informed citizens of Lawrence
are of opinion that QuantrelFs troops are
mostly composed of paroled prisoners from
the Penitentiary army, and some from
Prices command, from the fact that they
are much un-burnt, and have the appear
ance of being long in the service.
After they had accomplished the destruc-
ton Of Lawrence some of those became
most intoxicated, but being strapped to
their horses there were none left behind to
give information as to what they were or
where they were from.
We learn from gentleman who arrived
by coach this evening, that Quantrel} was
overtaken near the State line, and 20 of his
men killed Further details are looked for

Southern News.

FORTRESS MONROE, Aug. pa mail
has Just arrived from Newbern, with dates
from our own correspondent OF yesterday,
he writes as follows: The rebel newspa-
pers in this State clamor loudly for the
suppression of the Raleigh Standard, the
official paper Of the State, it bids defiance
to JEFF Davis and all the destructives in the
Southern Confederacy.
It's circulation is larger than any other
journal in the South, and is rapidly in
creasing; which, together with the endorse
ment of its course by public meetings in
different parts of the State, indicate conclu-
sively that it but expresses the wishes of
the people of North Carolina. Its columns
are open to the ablest writer's in the State,
and their statesman-like articles against
secession are unanswerable.
It's editor, the Hon. w. w. Holland,
caned the rebel editor of the Raleigh State
Journal, a short time since, and threatened
John Mitchell, of Richmond Examiner,
with like treatment.
The Holster Journal, speaking Of certain
affairs in East Tennessee, says: What OF
Bragg? We don't know the strength Of
his army, and ii we did. it would be i'm
proper to make it public, but we may say
thet taking the present status into account
and his well known sagacity and adroit-
pes. he will find his situation most haZ-
ardous and perplexing one.
Unless there is greater energy and
promptness shown than now seems exist
ing in this department, it is apparent
that Rosecrans intends to flank him upon
both sides. He will no doubt throw into
Northwest Georgia a massive column,
and another into East Tennessee by way Of
Sparta.
Suppose the former ensues, what other
security has Bragg than to fall back TO At
lanta, and if he does this, what will become
of East Tennessee.
Gov. Letcher of Virginia, has issued a
proclamation calling on the members OF
the Legislature to convene at Richmond on
the 7th of September, for the purpose OF
devising means for the public defence.
Intelligence from Gen. Wild,s African
Brigade, now in South Carolina, states
that the colored troops are eager for the
fight, and their discipline excellent. The
health of the troops continues good;
Mai. Gen. Peck, with his staff, has ar
rived here and takes command OF the I'M
ion forces in North Carolina.

Robbery..From Rosecrans.

ST. Louis. Aug. A.-The office of the U.
S. Express Gomeany was robbed of nearly
sixty thousand dollars, last night.
An officer Just from Rosecran's army re-
ports Bragg's center at Chattanooga, his
left wing at Dalton, and his right at CleaS-
land.
Buckner is at Knox vile with 10, 600 men.
Bragg can muster about 10000 lighting
troops. The prisoners reports OF deser-
tions from his army are fully confirmed,
the mountains in that section are swarm
ing with them, and is is estimated that
about 600 come within our lines weekly.
