The former had started to return home

From other sources ! learn that citizens
are banding together and arming themselves

and nothing less than the extreme penalty Of
the law could be inflicted. lie was young

family.
The Trijaae's special despatch from S..
Paul, MINI, Aug. II, says that three bat
ties have been fought with the Indians by
Gen. Siblv. A large number OF Indians
have been killed and the rest driven across
the Missouri river.
The HeraldS Washington dispatch says
three deserters from Richmond report that
they have been working on three iT0n-clads,
which have been launched daring the past
two months. They were plated with iron
rolled at Richmond; and it was the inten-
tion to send them down to attack oar Acct in

By the AragO We have The following addi-
tiOnal particulars from Charleston.
The fall Of Sumter, Wagner and Cummings
Point are regarded as certain in four TO six
hours after FIRE is opened. A deserter from
Fort Wagner SAYS two-thirds of the guns
have been removed from Fort Sumter and
mounted on james Island. The fall Of sum
ter Is regarded by the rebelsas certain, the
damage done BY the monitors in April render
ing the possibility Of holding it not to be tho't
Of. The deserter says Sumter was on the
point of surrendering when the monitors
withdrew. We have been shclling night and
day. Fort johnson keeps up brisk fire and
our wooden gunboats 20 IN every day and
shell the rebels At night the rebels shell our
land batteries and We smell them in return. On
Sunday next We will certainly hold Sumterand
within few days alter Charleston or its
ruins will be in our possession. Five mortar
schooners and the wooden gunbOats are strip
ping for the fight. The weather continues
delightful, though there is great suffering
for ice, lemons and sugar. Cannot Boston,
New York or Philadelphia send cargoes here
for the use OF the gallant sailors and SOL
diers?

The HerGlds Baltimore letter saws Lee has
received 30, 600 reintorcements. which makes
his present strength about 10000.
The TrijuHe'S dispatch says an o!bcer has
Just returned from Charleston and confirms
the previous statements that the taking Of
Charleston is TO be matter Of time. He
says it is next to impossible to batter down
Fort Wagner; that the men keep under
the bomb-proofs upon which our shot and
shells produce no elect; that the only way
the Fort can be carried is by direct assault,
which win not at present be ATTEMPTED
The chances Of knocking Fort Sumter 10
pieces are better. Indeed il Is generally be-
iieyed there. that that fort will speedily fall.
If it holds ont the forces can I occupy Il, as 1t
will be battered TO pieces.
Even should we take Forts Sumter and
Wagner, the other forts have % be taken
and the rebels who are as busy as bees day
and night are erecting batteries after bat
teries on the way 10 Charleston.
The military force is not deemed sufficient
and viii have to be largely reinforced before
the finale is consummated. The public may
at once divest themselves Of the idea that
any startling news is TO come from Charles
ton at once.

Davis and Lee have quarreled is discredited
