FORTRESS MONROE, August l6.
The steamer s. R. Spaulding arrived this
morning from off Charleston. She left
Morris Island at 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing.
On Thursday evening the Monitors were
all stripped and prepared for action and at
daylight on Friday the batteries on Morris
Island opened their fire which lasted an
hour or two when it ceased. The Moni-
tors did not fire shot and as soon as the
batteries ceased firing the Monitors put
up their awnings. No explanation is
given Of this movement.
The strongest cOn6denes is expressed Of
favorable result. Our informant says
that during the short engagement on Fri
day morning he saw several shot strike
Fort Sumter causing bricks and mortar to
fly profusely.
One of our officers, who left Morris
Island on Friday, says that upon receiving
instructions in regard to conveying news
by Quartermaster Dunton he asked MIN
"What shall tell our friends at Fortress
Monroe2" The Quartermaster replied,
nTell them great battle will come off here
on Saturday, the 18th, or Sunday, the 10th,
and that we shall be victorious"

| HAsHlhG-OH, august 10.
The latest news from Charleston is
from C. c. Fulton, and says: IA man
has just been ordered off to Fortress Mon
roe with important dispatches, and am
indebted to the Admiral for an opportun-
ity of forwarding a hssty letter. My
letters, detailing operations of the past
week are all on board the AragO, which
is still detained, and am unable to get
possession Of them. We have had daily
shelling Of rebel batteries, and abundance
of responses, but nothing serious has Oc-
CURED on either side. L however, send
you hasty summary of the progress of
affairs. The batteries Of General Gilmore
on shore are of the most extensive charac-
ter, and most Of them have been erected
under cover Of darkness as precaution.
The enemy have no knowledge Of their
positions, and will not until they open up
on them. We have erected an extensive
battery, thoroughly enflading the rebel
batteries on James IsIakd, which in a
measure enflade our principal work,
causing considerable annoyance before
projections were built for the new one.
Wednesday night one of our picket boats,
cutter Of the Wabash, under charge of
acting master Hsines, whilst Oruizing
around Sumter at night, came in contact
h -ob,V
Mr.. Haines endeavored to board her but
was run into, and eleven of his twenty
three men were thrown overheard, and he
and the balance of his men were captured.
Eight or ten were picked up and brought
out by Ensign Porter in cutter of the
IrOnsides. The balance with the cutter
were taken prisoners and carried into
Charleston. It was a brave but rather
reckless affair. The Monitors cruise up
every night in the vicinity of Sumter. At
10 o'clock Saturday night the Passaic was
within rifle shot of Sumter, looking out for
rebel steamers that run to Cummings
Point. The Monitors Of the fleet will be
in readiness for the attack on Thursday,
and there is a certainty of the taking of
Sumter, battery Gregg and Fort Wagner.
From two to six hours are regarded as
sufficient. There is no doubt entertained
on the subject in the feet or on shore. The
day for doubling has passed. Two mortar
schOOners from Washington arrived here
this evening. Three more will be here
from Port Royal tomorrow. They will
add terrible fen dss fer on Thursda y, and
make Charleston tremble. We have all
strong hopes Of being in Charleston by
Sunday next. That the old flag will wave
over the ruins of Sum ter by that time you
may regard as a fixed fact"

FROM ST. PAUL.
General Sibley's Expedition
Against the Indians.
ITO theIChicago Tribune.l
ST. PAUL. Minnesota AucusE /


ST. PAUL, Minnesota, August 16.
Colonel Marshal, of the 7th Regiment,
arrived last evening with important dis
patches and correspondence from the In
dian expedition. General sibley has
fought three battles with the Sioux, in Da-
kOtah Territory, FIVE hundred miles north
west of st. Paul. The fast battle was on
the 24th of July. The Indians were post
ed, thousand stroung, on the summit Of
a high hill; and the battle is called the
Battle Of Big Mound.
The Indians were driven off the hill by
Colonel Marshalrs regiment, and the ar
tillsry and cavalry then pursued them
fifteen miles, killing large number.
The battle of Stony Lake was fought on
the 29th, twenty miles beyond Buffalo
Twenty Indians, nearly sll mounted, at
tackled our advance, but were repulsed
and fed precipitstely across the river.
When our forces reached the river next
morning they found that the Indians had
crossed with their families during the
night They threw away tons of dried
meat, furs and everything that would i'm
pede their fight.
As the season for buffalo hunting is over,
this loss will be likely to create famine
among them.
They left over a hundren wagons on this
side Of the river. Owing to the ratiOns
being nearly exhausted, Sibley determined
not to cross the river and the expedition is
now on its way homo.
Our total loss in killed and wounded
was eight, but only three were killed in
battle.
The military results Of the campaign
have been completely accomplished, for the
saVsges have not only been destroyed in
great numbers, and their main strength
broken, but their prospects for the future
are hopeless indeed, for they can scarcely
escape starvation and dying in the ap-
preaching winter.
Lieutenant Bearer, one of General sib-
ly's aids, was one of the killed.
The expedition will reach here in few
days. Its termination without extermins-
tiOn leaves the field open for Major Hatch
to follow mp the partial success of General
sibly and finish up the race root and
branch.

BUYIEG A HORSE AT AUCTIoE-EVery-
body knows "Dar'' c. one Of the best Of
fellows, who formerly " conducted " on the
Cleveland and PittsbuTg road, and now con-
ducts a popular hotel in Pittsburg. A short
time since he desired to purchase a good
horse for the use of the hotel. A waggish
friend informed him of an auction sale of
horses that was to come of soon, and on the
day specified Oar was on hand. The horses
put up for sale proved to be the most misera-
bic, WOrn-Out scare-orOws imaginable, being
decayed canal horses and omnibus horses,
in the last stages of lingering con-
sumption. The auetioneer was re-
eeiViDg bids on one Of the worst Of the
lot, who was held up by 3 couple of deputy
auctioneers, being too weak to stand alone.
A couple of men were bidding against each
other on tho animal, and had run him up to
three dollars.
"GOiDg, gOing," said the auctiOneer,
pointing to the horse, who looked as though
he had gone his last "gO;" dol hear any
more Only three dollars is offered for
this here noble animal; will you see me knock
him down for three dollars ?" People looked
as though they would. "Thres and quar-
ter " cried " Dar," to bother the two men
who we're bidding against each other.
"GOns" crieo the auetioneer, to the dis
may of OAR and at the word the attendants
let go of the horse and down he Went-near-
Iy dead gone.
"Dar" found himself unexpectedly
with horse on his hands, and such a
horse Said Oar in describing him, His
head was shaped like a coffin; his knees had
punches on 'em as big as Water-mslOns, and
his neck was as long as brook. His back
bone would have been uncomfortable for
chickens to rOOst on there were cutters
down his sides to carry of the rain water, and
there wern't hairs enough on his tail to make
fiddle bow. He was so Open-jOinted that he
couldn't hold corn stalks unless he was first
put in soak"
"Dar" finally seld him to bystander at
a sacrifice, and treated the auctioneer so that
he wouldn't mention the circumstance. But
it leaked out in some way, as such things
