From Commodore Farragut.

NEW ORLEANs, Aug. II, via CAIRO, Aug.
Is.-The steamer Kate Dale from Fort
Gaines, Mobile harbor yesterday morning,
arrived here last night.
Farragut prepared the fleet for action
and issued orders TO attack Fort Morgan at
six o'clock yesterday morning. 1t was to
receive furious enilading fire from the
feet, and the force in itsI rear it is said
have invested it wherever there was foot
of ground to stand upon. The rebels have
destroyed all out buildings of the fort aud
also burned their only vessel lying under
its guns. Everything about the fort in
dictated determination to contest the bat
tie till the last. The Union naval and land
forces are confident of success.
At late hour last night we heard Far
ragut had demanded the unconditional sur
render of the tort. Farraguts demand for
the surrender on Tuesday was refused by
the commander of tn fort, saying he had
six months provisions, Sighting ratious, and
would resist to the last moment. Before
this however a force in the rear had cut
the Communications of the fort. The ram
Tennessee Was in the attack.
Farrsgut is confident of the reduction OF
the fort.
The Hartford was badly injured.
We still hold all the channels to the bay.

~ TN MOEALs OF TIE CTTY.-WO
have received Communication from a
gentleman who gives most revolving de-
scription of the moral condition of the
city and particularly the portion known as
North Wheeling. We give one or two ex-
tracts:
Burns said that "age and want" were an
"illmatched pair" and how inexpressibly
more Unmatched, loathsome and terrible is
want when combined with vice. Yet that
lowest phase of the worst society abounds
in North Wheeling. Vice in man is shock
ing, but in woman it is the climax of all
horror. Vice, mischief, filth and every
abomination that even the Five Points can
exhibit, abounds in this degraded part of
the city. Pass up the street at any of the
f'wee short hours" and you will be con-
WINGED of the truthfulness of this descrip-
ton. Knots of young men lounging about
the lamp posts, smoking, coming out of
the alleys, the board piles, swearing, swag
geriuR, drinking, carousing, insulting and
even attacking strangers women of
doubtful character strolling along with
men of worse character than theirs. These
are some of the sights that may be seen
any night in North Wheeling. Not unfre-
Qu6QLly the uuWdEY stranger IL dLIaCb6uJ
knocked down and robbed by some sneak
ing blackguard. Midnight rows, fights
with clubs, stones and even pistols often
occur. Can no means be adopted for clear
ing the streets of these nuisances, and far.
uishing protection for strangers passing
through your city. In other cities such
things as these cannot be done with i'm
puniry upon the Main streets.
This description of things, if true, calls
loudly for remedy, but We confess that it
exceeds anything that we have ever known
to exist in the First Ward or any other
part of the city. Our correspondent says
further that he has seen "meu chased along
the streets by pack of Williams to whom
hanging would be an honor" that if BUSH
ness calls a man across the Suspension
bridge, or up Main street late at night, he
had better see that his revolver is capped
and primed for any emergency" He final
Iy suggests that some such measure as that
adopted in Chicago would rid the city of
prostitutes, and that the rigid enforcement
of existing laws ''would send these strolling
assassins to hard work and solitary con-
fnement," and that "the city would then
be an example of peace and good order as
it is now one of rowdyism and meanness."
