On the evacuation of Chattanooga, the
enemy retreated to Lafayette and massed a

the Gaps of Pigeon Mountain, directly in

had been made formidable by new addi-
tions from Johnston, Buckner, Hindman

in sumbers to the army they had at the

WHEREAS, Our Government is now en-

for its success the undivided support of
all loyal citizens, in order that it may be
able to perpetuate our National existence;
and, Whereas, In this Congressional Dis
trict the Union cause is endangered by
multiplicity of Congressional candidates;
therefore,
ResOtvsd. 1. That we deem District
Convention absolutely necessary to prevent
the election to Congress of an enemy of
the government, thus disgracing the dis
trict and imperiIing the interests of the
nation.
Q. That we will hold as an enemy to the
public veal, any professed Union man who
will consent to be candidate in opposi-
ton to the will of the loyal people, as
expressed by their voice in convention.
J. That this reasonable rebellion was
organized and inaugurated by Southern
politicians without cause or provocation,
solely for the purpose of strengthening
and extending the institution of slavery,
and that if its destruction must necessari-
ly follow, that they alone are responsible
for its overthrow.
A. That we are opposed to the uomina-
ton for Congress of any man who will
not pledge himself to the support of the
measures already enacted for the suppress
sion of this rebellion, or who will not
pledge himself to support the Administra-
tion in all measures necessary to that end.

New YoRK, September lS.-A refugee

When 4 ship comes in she lays 70 under

barrels. Z
There are two floating batteries, ribbed
with iron, and only two iron clad rams in
the harbor-the Chicbora and Palmetto
State. Upon these the rebels rely very
much in their defense of Charleston.
In reference to the feeling OF the people
concerning the burning or surrender of
that city, he says that the universal resolve
of the inhabitants is that they are willing
that il should be burnt rather than surren-
der to Gen. Gilmore.
There were not over 300 non-combat-

Greek fire. laasf-

composed OF South Carolina troops. They
were sent southwark TO the relief of

The feeling among tie priVates Is in
favor of peace, especially If their prop

Our informant also says there are more
Union people in the South than We imag
ins, and that the belief of the rebels in
their cause is fast failing. They feel now
that something desperate must be done or
all is lost.
France and England are despised for
their doubting course.
