CAIRO, ILL, Aug. I6.-A bearer of dis
patches from Gen. Grant passed through here
to-day, ell route to Washington. 1t is under
stood that his dispatches have reference to
trade regulations on the Mississippi river. 1t
is said that Gen. Grant favors the opening of
the cotton trade to all loyal citizens under
proper restrictions, and recommends to the
w Washington authorities the immediate adop-
ton Of this policy. This will bring out thou
sands of bales OF cotton now hidden away in
the Swamps, and have beneficial effect on
manufacturing interests.
Gen. Logan made a speech here last night
to the largest out door audience ever assem-
bled in this place. Rear admiral Porter re-

The Siege of Charleston.

WASHINGTON, Aug. lS.-An officer just re-
turned from Charleston confirms our previous
statements that the taking OF Charleston is to
be a matter of time. He says it is next to i'm
possible to batter down fort Wagner; that the
men keep under the bomb-proofs, upon which
our shot and shell produce no effect; that the
only way the fort can be carried is by direct
assault, watch will not at present be attempt
ed. The chances of knocking fort Sumter to
pieces are better; indeed, it is generally be-
lieved there that that fort will speedily fall.
Ii it falls our forces can not occupy it, as Ii
will be battered to pieces. Even should we
take forts Sumter and Wagner, the other forts
will have to be overcome, and the rebels, who
are as busy as bees day and night, are erect
ing battery after battery on the way to Charles
ton. The military force is not deemed sufh-
cient, and will have to be largely reinforced
before the finale is contaminated. The public
may at once divest themselves of the idea that
any startling nepS is to come from Charleston
at present
1t will be seen by this statement, given by
the correspondent of the New York Tribune,
that the work at Charleston is not to be done
in night; and the public should arm itself
with patience for protracted siege, if siege
it can be called. A siege proper is the ''sit-
Ting uONu dIOuhu d pldCe3 Investing IL, anu
cutting off the beseged from all communica-
ton from without. This can not be done a
Charleston, if it is true, as reported, that the
rebels still have their water communication
open, and that their steamers run up and down
the harbor every day, carrying troops, sup
plies, and ammunition, and bringing or re-
moving ordnance, &c.
This line of communication can only be cu'
off by the taking of Sumter ITSELF which is
rendered far more difficult by the great ad-
vantages this very line offers for the defence
of the rebel positions. Now that the taking
OF Fort Wagner by storm is given up for the
present, the battering down of Fort Sumter is
the object just now in hand. Our siege guns
are mounted at a distance of about mile and
aquarter from that fort, which is not a long
range for powerful riAed ordnance. and
though the rebels are said now to have a
series of strong works on James Island on
abling them to open flank fire upon ms va,
it is more than probable, it Is almost certain
that our fire must make a breach in those
celebrated walls.
But after the breach is made, then the for
must be taken by storms difficult matter a
the approach must be made by means c
launches, the artificial island, just larg
enough for the foundations of Sumter, offerin

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE steamer City
OF Washington from Liverpool, Aug, 4th, and
Queenstown the 5th has arrived. The Asia
reached Liverpool on the morning Of the Sd,
aud the Sidon on the night of the Sd. The
ship Constitution from Philadelphia for Val
paraiso, was captured June 25th by the pirate
Georgia, and released on giving bonds. The
crew has arrived at PernambuCo. The ship
City of Bath, from CallaO for Antwerp, was
at Pernambuco, after having been captured by
the Georgia, and released on Il ransom bond
for 100000. Report says that the barque
Conrad, captured by the Alabama July 18th,
was armed by her and not destroyed. The
ship Sunrise at Liverpool from New York,
was it seems captured by the Florida, in lat.
10, long. 6S, and released on a ransom bond
for 100000.
The change of tone on the part of the Lon
don Saturday Review, hitherto one of the
strongest adv scates of the secessonsts in
England, excites much comment. That jour.
nal looks upon the recent victories as great if
not decisive, and in a measure gives up the
cause of the south as virtually lost.
The Liverpool chamber of commerce held
its half yearly meeting on the Sd inst. The
speakers expressed the opinion that the Amer
lean war was not far from lis close, including
James Spence, the notorious secession advO-
cate.
The Polish national government had order
ed forced loan of q 900, 900 lorins. A pro-
clamation from the same source rejects every
compromise not based upon the independence
OF Poland, with restoration of the bOunda-
reS of l772. Several of the insurgen; leaders
have been hung at Warsaw.
The Turkish army is to be raised from
$4,000 to 100000 men. Two camps of OBJ
servation are to be established in Bosnia and
on the Danube.
Official advices were said to have reached
Paris from New York that the government
had defnitively renowned the conscription,
and the fact is attributed to the progress of
pacific ideas in the north.
The Paris journals charge England with
holding back from an identical note, now that
it is question OF taking decided step, and
place the responsibility of the solution on
England. A Vienna journal also asserts that
no understanding as to the replies to Russia
was yet arrived at. The London Herald as
serts that England and Austria are completely
in accord, and will simply demand for Poland
those treaty rights which Russia in substance
acknowledges and shows a disposition to con-
cede.
Rumors of an intended outbreak at Warsaw
on the 9th prevailed. The national govern
ment warned the people against moving before
they give the signal.
A ukase had been delivered by the empe-
ror of Russia declaring to be free and land
owners the two million peasants who are
serts OF the crown domains.

FROM WashingtOn.

letter received here, the article in the RAJ
leigh Standard of the 3lst OF July, throwing
the responsibilities OF the present war upon
the secessionists, denouncing the treachery of
the conterate government, and asking peace,
&c., was written by the speaker OF the North
Carolina house of commons anu the president
OF the governors council. 1t is further stated
by the correspondent that Gov. Vance APP
proved OF the publication OF the article, copies
of which have been furnished to the president
and cabinet.
1t was ascertained to-day on inquiry at tho
bureau of the commssary general of prison
ers, that it is proposed to exchange Is, 900
Of the paroled prisoners, for the equal number
the south has IN its possession, belonging to
our armies. 1t is not yet known whether the
arrangement is perfected.

NEwBERN, Aug. ia meeting of citizens
of North Carolina, representing every county
in the first and second congressional districts,
and part of the third, was held at Washing
ton, N. c., on the 18th. The first North Car
olina Union regiment, stationed at that point,
participated in the meeting. Addresses were
made and resolutions adopted, expressing
sympathy with the great conservative party of
North Carolina; declaring an energetic pros
ecution of the war in in this department to be
the only means by which the Union sentiment
in the interior of the state can be made praC-
tically useful in restoring her to the national
jurisdiction; asking the government for rein
torcements for this purpose; accusing the
confederate government Of pertdy and cruel
ty towards North Carolina declaring that her
people are therefore abSOved from any fur
ther obligations to sustain it; placing the re-
sponsibility for the destruction of slavery upon
jeff Davis and his conspirators against the
Union; expressing the belief that North Car
olina will, notwithstanding, find ample com
pensation in the blessings of free labor for the
present inconvenencies of emancipation; re-
joicing at the recent Union victory at the
Kentucky election; denouncing copperhead-
ism at the north; and commencing the ability
and patriotism of the administration in the
conduct of the war, especially i'll the sound
national currency originated by the secretary
of the treasury.
Brig. Gen. j. n. Palmer is now in command
of the 18th army corps, with his headquarters
at Newbern. Maj. j. N. Whtford of the rebel
cavalry visited this city on the llth inst,
under a flag of truce, to inquire as
to the truth of reports of i'll treatment Of his
prisoners confined here, and was informed
that not only were the reports untrue, but
that two-thirds of them desired to take the
oath of allegiance so as to remain within our
lines.
The Washington New Era of the 10th inst.
republishes from the Raleigh Standard of July
3lst, an able article, four columns in length,
denouncing the treachery of the confederate
leaders, showing the falsity of their promises,
and the i'll success of their efforts, stating that
portions only of but five of the original thir-
teen states remain in the hands OF the con-
tederacy, and proposing that North Carolina,
in her sovereign capacity, make immediate
overtures to the north for peace.

WHERRIEs.-A English paper states that
Clement Pine of Brigham lately made the
voyage from Sunderland to Brigham, a dis
lance of six hundred miles on the ocean, in
an open boat, nineteen feet long. A cotem-
poTary says:
''This surpasses the feat of the two Cam
bridge students, who recently rowed from
Boston to Bangor, something over three hun
dred miles, in a couple of wherries."
little reflection will show, we think, that
the two feats do not admit of comparison. A
wherry sets very low in the water, is easily
upset, and at best is mere cockle-shell COM
pared with any ordinary lapStreak boat, no
matter how light it may be made. Until it is
shown that the English oarsman was in
wherry, his feat must be considered one of
strength rather than skill Those who read
the late Major Willard article, "a Night in a
Wherry, published sometime ago in the At
lantic Magazine, can-if they did not already
know of their own experimentation some
idea of the adroitness and GOODNESS, as well
as muscle, which is needed to manage one of
these fral craft in rough water.-AdverCiser

no other means, These difficulties must be
taken into account, and the least we can do
is to wait with patience while our noble army
and navy, under the broiling summer sun, are
using every cndeavor to reduce this strong
hold of rebellion.
The New Ysrk Times, speaking OF the siege,
says
1--WE make no doubt that the rebels will be
prompted by every consideration and senti-
ment that influence men, to make the defence
of Charleston as brilliant, desperate, protract-
ed and bloody as it is possible to make it, 1t
is true the chances mathematically are against
the besieged, and with a combined land and
naval attack, conducted with the skill and
pluck and determination which onr military
and naval chiefs will bring to their work, we
have just hopes of success 1t is given to
valor and righteous cause to deserve success;
so, willie improving the present, let us pre-
pare ourselves to meet the 'shadOwy future
