Col Charles Carroll Tevis, a graduate
Of West Point in I649. is now engaged
in raising the Sd Maryland Cavalry.
His recruiting officers are: Captain Greg
ory, Capt. Pemberton, Lieutenant Eakin,
and Lieutenant Davis Their station is
at Fort Delaware The Baltimore Ame-
ricon says of this regiment:
Of the many prisoners who have taken the
oath OF allegiance, six hundred have already
enrolled themselves in the new regiment.
Among them are men from almost every
State in the country. They are fine, hearty
looking set of men, having been well fed by
the Government since their capture Colo
mel Tevis has seen considerable service in the
United States Mounted Rides. lie also
served in Turkey five years as Lieutenant
Colonel OF cavalry, and was decorated for
gallant conduct on the field Of battle three
times by the Ottoman Government. During
FtGe Est year he was Lieutenant Colonel of
the 4th Delaware Volunteers, and led seve-
raj expeditions from Yorktown, Virginia, in
one Of which he pushed as far as Aylett's
Station with two hundred infantry. He was
selected by Gen. Schenck to organize the Sd
Maryland regiment, and has been detached
from his old regiment by the Secretary Of
War for this express purpose. 1t may SEEM
strange, indeed, to many that rebel prison.
ers are SO willing to join the Union army
The fact must have crushing effect upon
the Northern peace men or rebel sympa-
thZers.

CONR4RDNENT OF F0pT StruT-p

COMPARTMENT OF FORT SUMTER.
The Americais's summary of its cor
respondence from Charleston, dated the
18th inst, is as follows:
The attack on Fort Sumter was com.
menced at daylight Monday morning by
Gen. Gillmore's land batteries. Shortly
afterwards the navy joined in the attack.
Admiral Dahlgren went on board the
monitor Weehawken, and the entire iron
clad feet, with. seven wooden gunboats,
fnriously attacked Forts Wagner and
Gregg, silencing both those works, and
enabling the shore batteries to play unin-
terruptedly ON Fort Sumter.
At 10 o'clock Admiral Dahlgrcn led
the monitors Passaic and Patapsco to
within l,4O0 yards of Sumter, and
brought the Parrott rifle guns OF those
vessels to bear OH the sea wall of the
fort with marked effect.
While this was going on, Fleet Captain
Geo. W. Rogers took the monitor Catskill,
which he formerly commanded, up to
within one hundred and fifty yards Of the
beach in front of Fort Wagner She did
good service there, but finally ball from
Wagner drove in piece Of the interior
lining, which struck Capt. Rogers on the
head, killing him instantly. Paymaster.
Woodbury., who was standing by his side,
was also killed by the flying fragment.
These were the only persons killed on our
side during the six hours bosnbardment
The effect of the first days fire from
Gen. Gillmore's batteries on Sumter was
very damaging A false wall, which the
rebels had erected to protect the gorge
wall, which is exposed to the fire from
the land batteries, was completely de-
molished, while the old wall was bored
full Of holes, the parapet crushed and
torn, and the Northwest corner of the
fort gashed and cracked down almost to
the waters edge.

LATEST FROM TIE NORTH.

New York and Baltimore papers, Of
the 25th inst, have been received. We
subjoin summary of the news:
THE DESTRUCTION or LAWRENCE, KANSAS.
A telegram, dated Leavenworth. 22d.
gives an account Of the destruction Of
Lawrence, Kansas, by Quantrelrs gueril-
las. Itsays:
The list Of killed and wounded as far
as ascertained is some 1870, the majority
OF whom were killed instantly, most of
them in their own houses, with their
wives and children chnging to them,
while the mnrderers planted pistols Mt
their breasts and shot them down.
Among the most prominent citizens
known TO be killed are Gen. g. w. Cal
mer, Mayor Of the city, and his son, J.
q. Low; DIR Griswold, Col Stone and his
two brothers, Judge Carpenter, Rev. Mr..
Snyder, Lemuel Fillmore, and Dwight
Coleman.
twenty-five negro recruits were shot
dead. The guerillas took all the money
that could be found in the pockets or
houses Of the citizens. They stole. all
the Jewelry Of the ladies, even to the
rings on their fingers.
The houses that remain standing are
filled with the killed and wounded, who
belong to all classes Of society. No re-
sistance was made TO the gucrillas. The
people were shot down as they ran
through the streets in their night clothes,
and their bodies thrown into wells and
cisterns.
Gen. Jim Lane escaped on horseback.
Qlantrell is now retreating towards
Missouri, burning and laying waste
everything in his route.
The loss at Lawrence is not less than
$2,000,000.
Two banks were robbed of every dol
lar they had, and the third escaped a
similar fate only because the heat was so
great from the burning buildings that
the rebels could not stop long enough to
get the safes open.

THE PROSPECT OF A YANKEE WAR WITT
ENGLAND

ENGLAND.
The Philadelphia Inquirer has the fol-
lowing paragraph about the rumor in the
Washington Republican Of 4 war with
England:
Tue extraordinary article from the Wash
ington Republican, anticipating war with
England, to which We made brief reference
yesterday, appears TO have been based upon
/, private letter from London, dated the = lst
of July The letter in question states that
"a preliminary notice had been served upon
the Government of Great Britain, by the
proper officers OF the American Govern
inc,it,n to the effect that if England permits
the two iron-elad rams now building there
for the rebels to he turned over to our enc
mics to depredate on American commerce,
the Government Of the United States will
accept the act as declaration Of war. This
is certainly very important and startling, IL
true, and Of the truth Of the allegation The
editor of the Republican not only expresses
no doubt, but entorces it by stating that the
preliminary notice" has been followed by :.
peremptory notice, and further asserts that
the latter fact will be officially promulgated
at very early day. II the Republican is ac-
cepted as authority our relations with Eng
land are certainly threatening.
