Rebel Account. from Charleston,

The Charleston Mercury says that during the
early portion of Monday morning, tho eth,
all was comparatively quiet on Morris Island
About II O'Clock the land batteries opened on
Fort Wagner and the Monitors aud the Iron.
sides again approached and opened severe
fire. This continued until two o'clock, when
the bombardment became furious, the reports
being heard In quite as rapid a succession as
on Saturday. This furious cannonade lasted
for about an hour and half, Fort Sumter and
Battery Wagner replying slowly. Also, fire
was opened from a new battery on James
Island.
Fort Sumter got the range Of the Ironsidcs,
and little before four O'Clock she withdrew.
The Monitors also hauled of, and for the re-
mainder of the evening the firing was at long
and irregular intervals, coming chiefly from the
enemy's land batteries. Some shots were fired
al Fort johnson and at the Shell Point Battery.
The casualties In Battery Wagner yesterday
were four killed and eleven wounded.
mortar fire was kept up on Battery Wag-
ner every few minutes during the night from
| the battery near Graham's house.
On Sunday morning the enemy sent In a flag
of truce to ask permission to bury their dead
whose bodies lay thickly strewn In the trench
and elsewhere In front Of our works. As II
was supposed that the chief object of this re-
quest on the part Of the Yankee comm ander
was to gain an opportunity to reconnoitre our
position, the proposition was declined, aud the
duty of burying the dead devolved upon our
own men, and on Sunday no firing occurred.
The Courier says that the body OF Col. Shaw =,
OF the negro Fifty-fourth Massachusetts regi-
ment, was also sent for during Sunday, but he
had been buried In pit, under layer of two
OF his own dead negroes.

Whltesburg, and was composed OF infantry,

"PARTURIUNT MONTEs, NAseITUR
RlDICULUS MUS

The New York Times Of yesterday raises the
question as to the legality Of the recent capture
Of blockade runner by the Arago, and queries
If the Arago was not pirate herself
For the purpose Of relieving all doubts on
the subject, as to the legal right OF the Arago
in making this capture, we will simply quote
law, as passed by Congress, defining what YES
sells shall make or assist In captures:
"Ihat any armed vessel In the service of the
United States which shall make a capture, or
assist in capture under circumstances which
would enttle a vessel Of the navy to prize
money, shall be entitled to an award Of prize
money in the same manner as II such vessel
belonged TO the navy; and such prize money
shall be distributed aud apportioned In the
same manner aid under the same rules and
regulations as provided for persons In tine naval
service, and paid under the direction Of the
Secretary Of the Navy"
1t will be seen, therefore, that the Arsgo has
fully complied with the law, she being an
armed vessel, and engaged In the service of the
United States. 30 ends the mole hill sought to

THE STAFFORD PROJECTILFs A
FAILURE,

The Stafford projectiles about which the press
has been teeming the past year, when used in
actual trial on board the Ironsides at Port Royal
have been pronounced an ''impositiou"-the
cost Of each being only $40
The following is an extract from report on
an application made BY Mr.. Stafford to the War
ofee, to introduce the projectiles into the army:
"In the experiments made with Stafrord's
projectiles at West Point, referred to in this
letter, Parrott projectile, Of the kind in COM
mon use, was tried under like circumstances.
The Stafford did not exhibit any superiority
over the Parrott. .r
"Iu This proposal to furnish the Stafford pro-
iectiles, no stated price Is named but It says,
at the lowest possible prices.' What these
are may be inferred from a bill presented by
the inventor to the Navy Department, Of the
same date as the proposal, In which the kind
oi stafford Wojectilcs tried at West Point Is
Charged at sSl 40 each. The established price
the Parrot projectile, of equal weight and
efficiency, tried at the same time, Is so each; a
difference Of more than Ave TO one In favor of
the Parrot projectile.
. "With 80 great difference Of cost for articles
Of equal utility, 1t cannot he proper to recon-
mend an order for any OF the Stafford proicc.

CONDITION OF OUR STREETS.

A ride through Washington In the most ia
vorable weather is dangerous business at best.
The present condition Of the avenues and streets
is disgrace to the General Government of the
United States and the municipal authorities Of
this city. II is not our business, at this time,
to inquire whose particular duty IL Is to keep
the avenues and streets inrepair. We suppose
1t is the duty Of the agent Of the General Gnv-
ernment to keep the avenues in such safe con-
ditlon as will allow persons to travel over them
without injury to himself or his horse or his
vehicle. wcsupposo 1t is the duty of the agent
OF the municipal authorities to keep the streets
in equal good condition; and we know Congress
did not permit horse railroad corporation to
be created in our midst with authority to make
the avenues aud streets Of Washington city
worse than they were before It laid its iron rails
Yet any one who will examine the avenues and
streets, through which the horse cars run, will
.oncede, without hesitation, that such is the
fact.
II is our purpose in this article merely to
call sttention to the fact that neither the agent
OF the General Government, nor the agent of
the Municipal Authorities, nor the Horse Rail-
foau CcTpCratlon give tnat aIcntlon 10 inc SUD-
jet which the public safety requires and de-
mands. # 10 useless to disguise the fact that
II Is not safe for persons to travel with car
rage through the public avenues and streets Of
this city after dark. Those who are obliged to
do so, and escape with whole vehicles and
necks, are simply lucky. 1t is disgrace that
such is the fact. Negligence OF this kind
would not be tolerated In any other city, and
1t ought not to be submitted to here. There
are poor people enough, contrabands for ill.,
stance, who want employment, and who could
be set to work in the direction indicated.
There is no good excuse for the neglect 1t is
absolutely criminal, lnasmuch as human life
is jeopardized every hour by it.
We have upon our table piles OF commuuica-
items on the subject facts in any quantity are
daily furnished US by our corps of reporters,
and besides, we have Information sufficient TO
fill columns that has come under our Immediate
observation, going to prove much more than
We have limited at, relative to the bad condition
OF our streets. Let US have reform. W,

Boston, July.29.--Dr. King, In letter to
the 1rdptier, from Athens. Greece, dated july
4, says:
81 am now In the midst of a civil war.
Party spirit and love of rule have at length di.
vided soldiers and citizens into two hostile
bands, and In the streets and squares of the
city blood had been flowing for two days. On
July LIST and I'd battle was necessarily raging,
and the sound Of guns and cannon told u, the
work of death was going on.
Yesterday, through the intervention of the
Ministers ofthe three protecting Powers, France
England aud Russia, truce of forty hours was
proclaimed, which will end tonight or to-mor-
row morning; and the above mentioned Minis
ters have proclaimed that II fighting should
commence during the time Of truce, they will
leave the place and go on board their ships, and
invite all under their protection TO go also and
cut of all communication from country from
which true patriotism seems to be forever
exiled."

special apprehension In regard to his own safe
