After the battle of Charlottesville Ad-
jutant J. E. Lee, of Coles Zouaves, Hath
Pennsylvania volunteers, was, with others,
taken prisoner. He has arrived in Phila-
delphia. received from his own lips to-
day long account of the sufferings of
our men, and the indignities hesped on
them. They were robbed of everything
they had by the Major in command. Even
ikenesses Of the loved ones at home were
taken, and insults offered the pictures.
Adjutant Lee, with a few fellow prisoners,
succeeded in escaping while rambling
about through the Shenandoah Mountains.
They came across several thousand rebel
deserters, who had entrenched themselve in
the mountains, had been attacked by limbo
den's cavalry three times, but as often re-
pulsed them. Three hundred Of Imboden's
men had deserted and Joined the party. 1t
was stated among them that the Mississippi
regiments in Lees army had deserted,
and that Stuarts cavalry had re-
captured them. Quite a number were
killed on boih sides. An order was is
sued to take twelve men from each of the
companies of the deserting Mississippians
and shoot them for example. Whether the
order was put into effect is not known.
Some of the deserted rebels, of Goerse,

There was on arrival here to-day Of
persons in the secret service of the United
States Government They don't tell all
they know, but they say the Union feeling
in North Carolina is growing every day.
JEFF. DAVIS is openly denounced at public
meetings Of citizens and in the streets, as
traitor. Five hundred American flags
were received at Washington, N. c., with
in the past week. This means something.
COnscripts for Meade's army are arriv-
ing freely from the interior of Pennsyl-
vania. Arrangements are being made to
forward them daily. The Army of the
Potomac will soon be full and there will

FROM WASHINGTON.
Situation on the Rappahannock--
About Gharleston----The
Burning Of the Ruth.
ITO the Chicago Tribune.l
WASHINGTON, August l.

The reported movement Of the rebels to
turn General Mead's left, proves to have
been only an abortive attempt at cavalry
raid on Dumfries. General Meade is
ready for any emergency at moments
warning. 1t is not believed here that Lee
will try an offensive movement at tbis
time.
Advices from Charleston have been re-
Ceived up TO Friday. No general assault
has been made. Cannonading between
irOnolads and Forts Wagner and Sumter
occurs regularly every day. In the mean
time General Gillmere is steady
pushing forward his batteries and
placing his heavy guns. There can be no
set day for Wagner to surrender or for
Sumter to fall. These events will happen
just when the preparations progressing
from day to day, as circumstances
will admit, are fully completed. Naval Of
fiCers just from Charleston harbor agree in
expressing full confidence in the success of
the present attack.
MsjOr BrentOn, who had charge of the
funds lost by the burning of the Ruth, has
asked for court Of inquiry. The Govern
ment will make a rigid examination into
the affair, which Major Brenton desires.
The wreck of the Ruth is guarded by gun
boats and two paymasters remain on the
watch constantly. R

" WA3aANdAo4if Ausu1t AOs
A despatch received this morn
ing by the Government dated August
18th, from distinguished military officers
in Tennessee, says the Chattanooga Rebel
of the 18th, announced that the lombard
ment Of Charleston begun on the 18th, and
the firing from Gilmore's land bstteries on
Morris Island, and from Monitors was
chiefly directed against Fort Sumter. The
combined land and naval forces OF the
Federals seem to be engaged.
Information published in the Rebel, was
received at Chattanooga by telegraph from
Charleston, that the fight was going on
when the paper went to press on Sunday.
The officer who communicated to the Gov
ernment the contents Of the Rebel, says
the editor, i1stesd Of making any boasts
about the result, or manifestiug the least
feeling over the situation Of affairs as
Charleston, exhibits much positive evil
aenee Of gloom.
The Rebel states that the Ironsides and
all Il the Monitors were not only in the
action, bot that the whole feet and large
number Of transports were inside the
bar during the engagement.

[For the Cleveland LEADzR.I
UNDER THE FALLS.


On either side the river stand,
The workings of a mighty hand,
The works of Nature, fearful, grand,
But my soul is far away
Beneath these waters blue and deep,
That in their course do crush and sweep
Ali elements of man keep
wistful gaze to-day
Ny soulin sadness sighs and thrills,
And sings a lullaby that fills
My eyes with tears, and far DER hills
And fields of greenest green;
Fitting the current OF eddies wild
Into the spray so thin and mild,
Like the spirit of any child
1t passes like a dream.
Beneath the rays of the morning sun
The very sun that shines upon.
The form of her who loved and won
A heart by tear and sigh;
stand, and yet, what careth she
Whether my heart is light and free,
Or, crushed and sad, as it may be,
Whether live or die
Oh that my heart-lilze solid stone,
Lay meath these falls to hear their moan
Naught but their muff1ed monotone"
That now hear
That under these falls by night and day
Ny heart of stone might catch their spray,
And there forever would be away
From voice and form 50 dear
That my heart of stone would hear their roar,
And catch their spray at ITS fevered door,
And drink, and drink for evermore- .-
That its burning love might still
That these eyes now filed with flowing tears
Mightturn away from the by-gone years,
And into the future, through hopes and fears,
Might peer, and drink their fill
I start and wake from my dream by day,
And beckon the soul that's far away,
And turn to Him and devouily pray
For strength and heart to bear
Bear with the sorrows and grievous wrongs,
Bear with the grief that to man belongs,
Bear with the worlds discordant songs,
And braEely " do and dare q -

REvEEUR DECISION IN RELATION TO SHIP
BUIDNG.- Cleveland being the largest ship
building port on the lakes, the following re-
cent decisions by the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, in relation to /" Shipsy Masts
and Spars," will be found of interest:
l. The tax on ships and vessels of two per
cent. ad valorem is a tax on the whole value
of the ship, including all that goes to make
it up, whether hull, cabin, masts, spsrs or
rigging.
2. When masts and spars are constructed
to order for a particular vessel, and are
placed for use therein, they are not taxable
under the general head of manufactures but
enter into the total value Of the vessel 10
which they bslonsy P~ying TWO per cen - M
valorem.
3. But if masts or spars are produced as
articles Of commerce, or are sold as such as
in quantities Of extra spars, not part Of a
vessel, but a resort in case Of loss at sea,
they are manufactures, and must be taxed as
such three per cent. under the general clause
of the act Of Congress.
L. Boats built or constructed for the puf-
pose of carrying coal, are to be taxed where
| built, and on their value where built not on
their value whom they have reached their
destination.
I D 14e prOFlHO 70 Lnb O5lH 5SCtlOA VI NAo
act of July Ist, 1862, is in these words
{" That the taxes on all articles manufactured
and sold in pursuance of contracts bona fde
made before the passage of this act, shall be
paid by the purchase thereof, under regulR-
tions to be established by the Commissioner
| Of Internal Revenue" This prOviso, with
all other special regulations of that act, is e1-
pIicitiy and in terms re-enacted and REIN
| serted in the act of March 3, 1858, by the
proviso to section 81, " That the existing
laws shall extend to and be in force, as mod
fled for the collection of the duties imposed
by this act !" ETC., etc, "as fully and effect
uaIly as if every regulation, penalty, for
feiture, provision, clause, matter and thing
to that effect in the existing laws contained
had been inserted in and re-enaeted by thii
act" Itis, therefore, decided that where &
bona fde contract for the construction Of 8
{ vessel was entered into for q specified sun
before the Sd day Of March, 1868, the tax o.
two per cent. on such vessel shall be paid By
tho contractor or purchaser thereof, and no
, by the builder.

How STATES AND DISTRICTS ARE TO BE
CREDITED FOR THEIR QUOTAs.-The following
in relation to The credit which Districts are
to receive in the draft for men already en-
listed, puts at rest any question in relation
to ward and township quotas. The credit
must appear on the rolls at Washington or
it will go for nothing until the draft has been
made
WASHINGTON, August Z, 1868.
To P. NJ. Bromley, D. D. 7. Moore and
Henry Hebing, Committee Of Common
Council Of Rochester:
GEEFLEMEN,-The Provost Marshal Gene
raj Of the United States, decides that he will
give credit for every man enlisted from
every town or ward in our Congressional
District, in excess Of the quota appointed to
that town or ward upon previous calls, and
also all persons enlisted subsequent to the
10th day of November last, when the report of
our military committee to the Adjutant Cen
eraI Of the State bears date. The name Of
every person so claimed to be credited, must
appear on the muster-rolls filed in the Adju-
tant Generals office at Washington. He
thinks it imprudent on the score Of public
policy, to suspend the draft in any District
for the mere purpose Of settling the number
| to be discharged, can be made afterwards,
and before the men are mustered into SER
vice, provided the proof is furnished before
the time they are required to report.
