From Charleston.

CHARLESTON, September 26.-The
Yankees have-worked very little at their
batteries to-day, our fire keeping them
close under cover. Our mortars on Sulli-
vans Island work admirably, the shells
being thrown with accuracy and falling in
the middle of the enemy's battery at nearly
every fire. There was again considerable
motion in the feet to-day, supposed to be
Farragut visiting each vessel.

Officers state that Rosencranz has sent two
flags of truce, asking permission to bury
the dead and relieve the wounded. Bragg
rejected both, replying that he had enough
Yankee prisoners to bury the dead, and
Yankee surgeons to attend the wounded

Later from Europe.

-
% European advices to the evening Of, the
5th instant--a day later-have been recei-
ved in New York:
A dispatch from Paris, dated the 9Th
inst, in the evening, says: the announce
ment respecting the victualing Of the Flor
ida at Brest in the Monateur is supposed to
be still more explicit declaration on the
part of France that the period of neutrality
is fully passed. .1,..
The Paris correspondent of the London
Globe, telegraphing on the same day, says
of Mitchell ChevalieTs pamphlet: This
time the trumpet emits no uncertain sound,
but every note rings out the knell Of the
North American Union, and the birth Of a
separate independent government at Rich,
mond.
The London Globe, of the 5th instant,
(evening,) in leader, says: GAS far as ii
is possible to judge of American affairs at
this distance, and with the meagre informa'
tion at our disposal, it appears that the
plans of the Federals can only be defeated
by very vigorous operations in Eastern Fir'
ginia."
The London Globe, of the same day, has
an article 'regretting the scarcity of labor in
England for agricultural purposes, and it
asserts, in unseemly terms, that "the poor
wretches whose corpses are rotting on the
banks of the Potomac and the Rappahan'
mock, and their scarcely less wretched COM
patriots in America, have been missed in
England, and there are none to supply their
places"

Chattanooga. BRAXTON BRAGG.
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 2S-Sa. m, Vta
TUNNEL HILL.-We have driven the ene-
my from Georgia back to the Tennessee
River. His lines now extend along the
river from Chattanooga to Charleston.
Burnside is supposed to be moving down
in their rear there is firing going on over
the river.
The number of our killed in the battle
of the Chickamauga is small compared with
the wounded, the number of whom is very
great. Many of the wounds though are
slight.
The enemy will probably make stand
near Chattanooga, in the hope Of forming a
junction with Burnside.

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-05-28

IL VI LL0oAgNn
The Washington Republican Of Friday
has the following interesting news from
Lees army:
We have information from q highly in
telligent gentleman who was captured at
Charlottesville, and who is directly from
the south side Of the R~appahsnnock, in
rebellion, to the following effect:
"The enemy claims that he has, alto
gether, eight thousand three hundred Of
our men captured, which includes the
wounded left upon the field. This number
embraces one thousand and six wouDa..d
men belonging to the EleVep't., Armv
corps, all Of whom were de- -.l1 d.
before Yesterday A least one hundred
tho -ssid mat corps we're killed on
$500 or have since died Of their
According to the rolls, two thousand
and six hundred men are missing from the
Eleventh Army corps since the battle.
Alter deduoting the number named above,
as killed and wounded, from the total miss
ing, it will appear that one thousand four
hundred and forty-four were captured by
the surprise resulting from the rear move
ment Of jackson. -
1.-THE rebel officials acknowledge that
they lest altogether in killed, wounded and
missing, about ten thousand men. They
do not hesitate to say that the battle at
Charlottesville and Fredericksburg, un-
der Hooker and Sedgwick, were the
severest and most expensive that the Con-
federaey has yet experienced in the war.
General Lee expressed himself to his
officers very freely that Hooker was q much
sbler man than he (Lee) supposed. He
said he did not think Hooker could handle
30 many men so well as he did. Lee don't
hesitate TO tell his officers that Hooker is q
man TO be feared and watched closely.
General Lee also expressed his wonder
that Hooker wss shrewd enough to return
with his army to the north side Of the
Rappahannock.
aOur informant says that the leading
rebels acknowledge to him that Lee was
expecting reinforcements to enable him to
get between Hooker and the river, with
the intention of cutting of his supplies by
destroying sill the ferries and pontoon
bridges, with the hope of starving him out.
"Jackson's death was q most terrible
blow to the rebels"

Ynnaun1rnnm,n arrest.

Vallandigham was arrested by military
authority, for asssiling the military policy
Of the Government and using words tend
ing to demOralize the army. Vallandig-
ham claimed that he was arrested and held
~unlswfully. BE went before Judge Leavitt
on a writ Of habeGs corpus to try and deter
mine whether be was or was not lawfully
arrested and held by General Burnside
The Judge, on a full hearing, decided that
he sOaS lawfully arrested, and returned him
to General Burnside. Vallandigham was
arrested, held, tried, and sentenced by mil
itary authority. The President in his
capacity as COmmandsr-in in Chief, approved
the sentence. And the civil Court, on .
fair hearing, decided that it was all right
before the law. What more is to be said 2

BATTLE OF BLACR RIVER BRIDGE.
LACK RIVER BRIDGE, TWELVE Mills EAST or

VIcKsBURe, Sunday May II.
Netherlands corps marched to this
place early this morning. 0steThsus was
in the advance, and found the rebels
strongly i~ntrenched on the east bank Of
tue river. Batteries were soon in position,
playing on the enemy's works. AT 10
o'clock General LAWYERS brigade, in Cars
division, charged across the open fields,
rwo hundred yards in width, wading the
Bayou in front, and s~warming over into
the i~ntrehchmenis. Seventeen cannon
we're taken inside the earthworks, and
from 500 to 1000 prisoners captured. No
description can do justice to the intrepid
ty Of the regiments comprising this brig
ade. The rebel FIRE from artillery and
musketry was appalling, but they rushed
on to victory, regardless Of death, and lit
orally swept everything before them.
General Mart Green's Missouri brigade,
(rebels,) over twelve hundred strong, was
cut off by the Eleventh Wisconsin, aud
surrendered. General Vaughan's brigade
was also principally captured. The losses
Of the Eleventh Wisconsin was slight.
The Twenty-frst and Twenty third Iowa
led in the charge, and sustained the prin-
eipal loss. The Eleventh Wisconsin also
captured q stand Of colors.
Furious c~snnonading continued all day
from the rebel batteries on the other side
Of the river. They fired the bridge to pre-
rent our crossing. Pontoons have been
sent 10 Shermsn's corps. He will proba-
bly, cross a few miles above here, and at
tack in flank. The force oppositeis thought
to number $4,000. Our army is excellent
fighting condition, and think themselves
invincible. As General Grant rode to the
front to-day, he was everywhere greeted
with tremendous and uproarious cheering.
This morning two +-pound hoWitzers and
two 6-pOunder rihed guns were surren-
dered, with horses, harness and smmuni-
ton complete without a shot, q few miles
back on the road. These guns became sep
arated from the main body of the rebel ar
my yesterday in the retreat, and we're cut
off BY cur advance.
Our loss in tO-dsy'sfghiing is not heavy.
The rebel killed and wounded is unknown.
Their troops did not fight as Obstinately
to-doy as yesterday. The wonder is they
wern not wholly Withdrawn TO the other
side without an engagement.
General 0sterhsus vas slightly wound
ed, but rode on the field again.
Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-05-28

We have VicksBurg dates up to satur-
day, and by the latest reports It appears
that Grant had captured all the water bat
terles and had turned the guns upon the
city. The only impediment in the way of
his destroying the city, was the large num-
Der Of women and children who had con-
gregated there from the surrounding towns
for safety. But the best news Of all is that
Psm5erfOH had offered to capitul1te, but
Grant-glOriOus, victorious Grant-rgussd
to hear to any terms but unconditional
surrender. The country has not yet for
gotten the reply of this same General
Grant when the commander Of Fort DON
elsOn asked for terms of capitulatiOn.
Grant sent back in reply: my only
terms are unconditional surrender. IProposs
to moDs Immediately upon your sOorks." The
same determined reply has now bsCn sent
to Vicksburg, and a similar glorious vic
tory to that Of DonelsOn must be the only
result.
God grant hat no unforeseen disaster
may prevent the full fruitiOn of the pres
ent promise.

The Mexican CnmnnIrn

The history OfTthe invasion of Mexico
by the French affords au interesting con.
trast to the record which has been made
in the American war during the same
time. We have heard from Europe thai
the Federal armies are slow and inefficient
and incapable of active warfare. But
how has it been with the French ? It is
now nearly two years since the French
Emperor commenced sending troops to
Mexico, in accordance with the invitation
Of the Insurgents Of that country. He
designed to march his army direct from
Vera Cruz to the capital, as e1peditiOusly
as did General Scott in the Mexican war.
Instead Of this we find that although
10000 French soldiers have been landed
in Mexico, not only have they not reached
the capital but after q months seige of
Puebla (only half way to Mezico) they
have been defeated and complied to aban-
don the sisze. In the meantime the adj
Tances and successes Of the Federal army
have been such as We may well be proud
Of. We have had many slow generals,
and many provoking delays, but when we
group together the accomplishments Of
q given time, the magnitude of our
achievements is as gratifying as it is in
spring.
Concerning the French defeat in Me1i-
90, the New York Times says that it is the
most serious reverse which Louis Napo-
leon has sustained since he became En-
psror. The magnitude of the design,
as set forth by himself and his organs,
and the case with which he was expected
to accomplish il render its failure all the
more conspicuous and notifying. his
letter to General FOrey proves that he in
tended to make the conquest of Mexico
the starting point for a new policy Of in
Prevention in the affairs of the United
States. In March last the Paris cores
pendent Of the London Times, anticipa-
ting the speedy overthrow Of the Mexican !
Government said that the Emperor
very soon be able to give his ~ could
tention to the amomeDs~ .adivided at
the American Jus complications
'iVh war continent. Viewing cur
c"r from a point favorable to the
AIederates, and taking for granted the
success Of the French invasion Of Mexico,
Buffers Paris correspondence, Of April
10th, puts forth the following significant
paragraph ave shall surprise our read
ers by telling them that the conditions Of
peace in America are likely to be dictated,
not from Washington, but from Mexico or
Vera Cruz" The semi-oficial newspapers
Of Paris have for some time past predicted
the speedy conquest of the country, and
La France a few weeks since announced
that athe staff ef clerks to be sent out TO
Mexico to collect the revenue Of that wi
try was then assembled in Paris. How
humiliating to the Emperor must be this
iRpoble result.
