nase Rebel News from. Charleston.

WASHINGTON, August Is, 1868
A dispatch received this morning by the
Government, dated l 18th, from distinguished
military officer in Tennessee, states that the
Chattanooga Rebel of the 10th announced that
the bombardment of Charleston began on the
18th, and the firing from Gilmores land bat
teries on Morris Island, and from the Mont
tors, was chiefly directed against Fort Sum
ter The combined land and naval forces OF
the Federals seem to be engaged.
The information published in the Rebel was
received at Chattanooga by telegraph from
Charleston, and the fight was going on when
the paper went to press on Tuesday. The
officer who communicates to the Government
the contents of the Rebel, says the editor, in
stead Of making any boasts about the result
or manifesting the least jubilant feeling over
the situation of affairs at Charleston, EXHIBITS
most positive evidence of gloom. The Rebel
states that the Ironsides and all the Monitors
were not only in the action but that the
whole feet and large number of transports
were inside the bar during the engagement.
A later dispatch says the bombardment of
Charleston was renewed on Saturday morn
ing, in earnest from land and sea.
Gen Gilmore opened from all his new and
from his old works, and Rear Admiral Dahl
gren engaged all the Monitors.
New YORK, August 1S.-A Fortress Mon
roe letter to the Herald says:'I am assured
that Sumter is in bad plight. Our heavy
and long range guns are playing havoc on its
walls, and it is stated that the side exposed to
our batteries is already preached.

desired to take the oath of allegianct. SO as

The Washington (N.C) NeaO Era, Of the
10th inst, republishes from the Raleigh Stand
ard, of July 31st, an able article, four col
ums 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 thirteen States remain in the
hands of the Confederacy, and proposing to
North Carolina in her sovereign capacity, to
to make immediate overtures to the North for
peace.

that the excitement of that occasion has main

CAMP DOUGLAS REINFORCED. Eight COM
panies of the LIST Regiment of Michigan Sharp
shooters uuder command of Col O. Y. De
Land, arrived at Camp Douglas from Fort
Dearborn, Michigan, yesterday. The eight
companies numbered 600 men-one company,
80 strong, being composed entirely Of Ottawa
and Chippewa Indians.
The regiment has been recently engaged
in repelling the Morgan raid and will remain
at Camp Douglas until required for further
active service. Two companies, not being
full but rapidly recruiting, remain at Fort
Dearborn, but are expected speedily to join
their comrades at Camp Douglas.
The arrival of this regiment foreshadows
the speedy enforcement Of the draft in Chica-
60 and Illinois. From indications which we
have observed in certain quarters, we are of
the opinion that our citizens will not be kept
long in suspense. 1t is we'll The Govern

RSOuies TO the EHst-Itis matter of sur>
prise, lot say Of actual unaelief to many If not
most of the eope of the Northwest, West and
Southwest that from Green Bay and Lacrosse, on
the North, to Cairo and st. Louis, on the South,
the shortest route to New YORK Philadelphia and
Baltimore, lies through PITTsBURGH. When we
add that this route SO generally supposed to be a
circuitous to New York is actually nearly one
huad3ed miles shorter than The route via Toledo,
Buffalo and Albany, and $laty miles less distance
than via Toledo q Erie Railway this fact Re-
comes only the more astounding 10 the large num-
Der OF person who have heretofore regarded Buff.
falo as the direct line TO New York A further
advantage of the route via Pittsburgh is that
there is but one change Of cars, between Chicago
and New York or Philadelphia, an advantage OF
great moment to ladies and families and wihal
of no less comfort to business men All these ad-
vantages can be secured, by buying your ticket
to the East over the PITTsBURGH, Fort WAYNE
& CHICAGO RAILWAY, which can be had in Chi
cago, and at all the Ticket Offices of all promir
nent lines in the West
The REDUCTION OF FARE just made by this line
to $500 from Chicago to New York, a pra0Hege
belonging 10 the shortest line TO make the rates,
should induce people generally to try this new
and admirably appointed line, where by they can
reach the East in less time and for lower fare
than by any other route.
Normal School at Eiberay.-We call the
attention Of everybody concerned, to the notice
of the Normal School to be held at Liberty,in this

for the benefit of the teachers, and those intend
ing to become SUCH of our own county, but all
others who choose to attend can avail themselves
of the advantages offered, The tuition is merely
nominal, and the other expenses-board &c
will be put at the lowest rates. Liberty, in the
town of Salem, is one of tie pleasantest rural
hooks in the whole country and this fact will add
no little to the inducements to devote a month to
the requirement Of that knowledge, that adds SO
much to the qualifications of the Teacher.

Important Details from Sen. sibHey'.
Expedition.

ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, Aug. 16, 1868.
Col Marshall, of the 7 tn Regiment, arrived
last evening with important dispatches and
correspondence from the Indian expedition
Gen Sibley had fought three battles with
the Sioux, in DaEotall Territory, five hnn-
bred miles northwest Of ST. Paul The first
battle was on the oath Of July. The Indians
were posted, a thousand strong on the sum
nit of high hill, and the battle is called the
Battle of Big Mound.
Previous to its commencement Sibley and
Indian scouts went up to the hostile Indians,
and Dr. Meier, of the mounted Rangers,
Joined them. While talking, an Indian shot
the Doctor, killing him instantly. The scouts
returned the fire, and the battle then COM
menced.' The Indians were driven off the
hill by Col. Marshalls regiment, and the ar
tillery and cavalry then pursued them fifteen
miles, killing large number.
Through installing an order the cavalry
returned to the camp the same night, which
was the fatal mistake of the campaign, as two
DAYS were thus lost The battle of Dead
Buffalo Lake was on the 26th, fifteen miles
beyond Big Mound. The Indians made dash
on our lines, but were repulsed by the 9th
regiment of artillery and cavalry. The bat
tie of Stony Lake was fought on the 28th,
twenty miles beyond Buffalo. Twenty Indi-
ans, nearly all mounted, attacked our advance
but were repulsed, and fled precipitately 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 impede their flight.
AS the season for buffalo hunting is over,
this loss will be liable to create a famine
among them. They left over hundred wag
ons on this side Of the river. Owing to the
rations being nearly exhausted, Sibley deter
mined not to cross the river, and the expedi-
ton is now on its way home.
Our total loss in killed and wounded was
eight, but only three were killed in battle
