From Charleston Trouble Betrecn Gen. Gil
more and 4dn,iraf Dahtgren--Borba-
rous Threat 6y Beauregard.
NEW YORK, Sept II.
The Times dispatch says it is stated on good
authority that Gen. Gilmore has rendered his
resignation to the President, because of dis
agreement between himself and Admiral
Dahlgren. The report says the President
will not give up Gen. Gilmore, and that Adj
miral Farragut has been approached with
proposition to assume command of the naval
forces at Charleston.
letter to the Times dated on board the
Ironsides, It'll inst, says the navy has not en-
gagged the rebel works since Tuesday night
The firing has been confined TO few rounds
fired from johnson and Moultrie at the cap
tured Forts Gregg and Wagner. The prison
ers, including the officers, are still within the
fort.
A flag of truce sent out yesterday broug hit
the Intelligence from Lieut.. Preston that he
and his officers were well treated, and as COM
Portable as the circumstances would admit
Beauregard took the opportunity of sending
the threatening message to Admiral Dahlgren
that he would place the prisoners on the para
pet of Sumter if the navy made it an object
of fire. Admiral Dahlgren replied, with as
much dignity as the nature of the case would
justify, that if he (Beauregard) should resort
he might look at the same hour for rebel pris-
ouers tied to the outer surface OF the monitor
turrets. 1t is thought the answer of the Ad-
miral will do much toward bringing the Bob
adj Beauregard to a sense OF the common
rul les of civilized warfare,
Gen. Gilmore has issued general order Civ
ing thirty days furlough to prlvates who have
distinguished themselves in the recent siege.
They are not to exceed two per cent. of the
effective force on the island, and must be rec
commended by their colonel.
Ever since the occupation of Gregg and
Wagner the rebels have been exceedingly mo-
rose and savage. They do not allow us mo-
ment's peace. From dawn to evening they
are crossing their fire over Gregg from their
Sullivans' and James Island batteries. They
have inflicted upon us no damage since the
death of Capt. Baker on "Wednesday.
Since Tuesday ten or twelve deserters have
come in from James Island, belonging mostly
to Georgia regiments. They state that the
rebels are building several new batteries on
Sullivan's Island, above Moultrie and Bee, to
command the channel to the city.
Additional batteries are also being construct
ed between johnson and the city, in which
10-inch Columbiads are being mounted, and
finch Brooks rifles. On the Green, at the
city, the rebels have mounted 13-inch Blake
ly rifle, which they have just received from
Mobile, where it was brought with another
one by an Anglo-rebel blockade runner two
weeks ago. The second of these huge guns
is in Charleston, but not mounted. No place
has yet been determined for mounting it,
Ninety of the projectiles, weighing over five
hundred pounds each, were lying by the guns
on Charleston Green.

NEW YORK, Sept. II.
The Times dispatch says an idea is enter
tanned in certain high army quarters here that
the bulk OF Lees force teaving garrison at
Richmond) is going down the East Tennessee
and Virginia Railroad to attack Gen. Burnside,
or if Burnside and Rosecrans be considered as
one force, is operating in the proongation of
their left flank to attack at right angles to it.
1t is bold and desperate stroke and should
lose Richmond to the rebels if it succeeded
1t ought to fail by Gen. Rosecrans being able
TO oppose Bragg with division or corps,
while he supports Burnside with the rest of
his army, fighting near Greenville or higher
up the valley If possible. Gen. Rosecrans has
the interior lines of both Lee and Bragg.

EDUCATIONAL.N
FRENCH LANGUAGE.
PROPR HENRI DUCOM
Has Resumed his Lessons.

fTHE Professor begs to inform the students of the
L French language that the next academic year
will be his last in Portland 1t will thus be the last
opportunity offered TO them of learning that Ian
guage from the only Frenchman now teaching in
the city.
By the by it mot be rather puzzling to know who
is the genuine native teacher. when Swiss teachers
come out with oihcious aud official testimonials
Transforming them into Frenchmen; as IL such pa
pers obtained out of complaisance. could either in
sure the French accent remove the native brogue
native teacher only can realize the difficulty of
Graduating an accent acquired from such teachers
The Prof wa its no one to prove he is frenchman;
looking a. him and hearing him speak is sufficient
n. Is. What prodgious baby must have been Mr..
S. to have been born 500 miles from his native place
and two miles from his mother Pro-di-gi-ous!
IL the Professor had to prove himself Partisan by
birth aud Education, he would give at the date
of his birth, the date and place be registered
the name of the college where he studied the day
and the year he graduated. That would indeed be
sufficient to silence his adversaries.

From Washington.
WASHINGTON. Sept l6.
Commander Reed Wordan has been ordered
TO the Navy Yard at Philadelphia.
Lieut.. 4. Y. Scott is detached from the
South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, sick and
awaiting orders.
Lieut.. Commander Clark Wells is detached
from the Navy Yard at Philadelphia, and order
ed to the command of the Galena.
Ambulances were running until a late hour
last night, conveying TO the Hospitals in the
vicinity OF Washington, about 1900 sick and
wounded soldiers from the Army OF the Po-
tomac.
The schooner Robert Knowles, Capt. Out
ten, arrived here to-day as a prize, having
been captured by the Potomac fotia of
Cockpit Point, Va, for violating the blockade
She had cleared from Alexandria for Lewes,
Del.
1t is important for shippers to know that
vessels under the present regulations, although
clearing from Alexandria to another loyal port,
cannot land on the Virginia shore as in the
above case without violating the blockade, un-
less special permit has been granted for that
purpose.
The average daily issue of $40 bonds from
the Treasury Department for the week ending
Wednesday, Sept. 16, was S3.34S,s4l. To eff
feet this issue the bonds, after leaving the
printers hands, have TO be filed with the
names of the subscribers signed and entered,
for which nearly $4,000 signatures are daily
required. The entire amount of subscriptions
received is now filled, aud the bonds will here
after be issued within three days after the de-
post of subscriptions. The printing and other
preparations on over six thousand sheets of
bonds per day in the treasury building is with
out precedent in any former issue, and DEM
oDstrates the economy and propriety of pre-
pairing these issues in the department instead
OF relying on individuals or companies whose
facilities are necessarily divided among differ
ent customers.
The delegates recently appointed by the
convention lately held in Jefferson City to
proceed to Washington in order to make rep
resentation to the Federal government, in or
der to produce change of the military COM
mander in the Department of Missouri, are
daily expected, therefore no action has yet
been taken by the President in the NATTER
If Gen. Schofeld is removed, Missourians
think it not improbable that Gen. Butler will
succeed to the command.
The President is not aware that Gen. Gil
more has rendered his resignation.
