being about sixty feet in diameter 1t
was already crowded from top to bottom
with troops.
The negroes rushed in from all sides, in
state of confusion and terror. The enc
my. in the meantime, as could be plainly
seen from our main line, had rapidly
moved their forces from their right and
left to the threatened part of their line and
about the forts. From both infantry and
artillery the fire became more and more
severe. Again and again the attempt was
made to charge from the front, but the
troops could not do it. Small parties
commenced trying to run back, from the
fort to our main line. They became more
and more unanimous, and quite number
of them managed to get through. The
distance from the fort to our main line
was about $50 yards.
| Our men, in running back, had to make
it over field swept by rebel fire, and hun
drcds Of them were killed and wounded
The enemy perceiving the confused con
dition OF our troops, resorted to the
offensive. They advanced several time:
from their lines, but were driven back by
our fire. At about ten o'clock, however
when most of the batteries had ceased
firing, they made grand charge and occu
pied most Of the ground in the rear of the
/ fort. No sooner had their yells anc
volleys announced their charge than vas
swarm of our men, mostly negroes. were
seen rushing out from under cover TOWARD
our lines half Of them were shot down.

The Mask Thrown Off.

As the South says tc North Carolina
You have the undoubted right to scccdc,
but remember that in doing 50 we recog-
nize you as public enemies" so let the
North now say to all copperhcads, you
have right to seek disunion peace, but
such course will be regarded as the CON-
mencement of active hostilities.
1t is one thing to agitato a policy before
the people, the propriety of which has not
yet been authoritatiyely decided upon. 1t
is quite another to oppose the execution
by the Government Of its laws and its de-
cisions upon those matters which by the
Constitution it is empowered to decide
Under the Constitution Of the United
States, the President and Congress form
the war making and peace making power.
There is none other They have decided
that this war shall go on until the rebel
lion is crushed, and Slavery, ITS cause,
a6oiiShed Those who are dissatisfied are
to remember that while agitation with a
view of electiny men Of opposite priuci-
pies to office is lawful, such agitation is to
be so guarded as not to amount to opposi-
ton to the execution of the measures OF
those who represent the national power, o,
tn tie impouiing IF the efficiency Of the pres
em administration. Opposition IN tbs
form IS treason ard reJeUioa- Wtcogc

So it seems the advocacy of peace before
slavery is abolished is to be regarded ga:
the commencement Of hostilities," that op
position to the abolition measures of tho
present abolition administration ''is trea
son and rebellion" Let any candid MAJ
read carefully the foregoing extract from
the Tribune, and then say if he is in favo
of the policy foresbadowcd by the admin
istration and enuneiatcd by its Chicag'
mouth-piecc The line OF dcmar GATOR
had as well be drawn now as hereafter, anc
for one we say that no true man, no pat
riot, no well wisher of his country, cal
possibly adopt the role marked out by The
Tribune. No lover of constitutional lib
erty will for moment hesitate to branC
the author of such sentiments as a tyrant
a despot at heart, a man who for partisan
success would surrender the last vestig,
of that liberty and those rights secured t,
American citizens by the terms of tn,
Constitution Such man is unworth,
the name of an American. An admins
tration that would attempt to enforce sucl
a policy would thereby render itself fl
subject for the scorn and loaihing of al
true men and patriots, the world over, ane
should be hurled from power as a thine
too corrupt for mortal endurance. Sucl
an one is thatof Abe Lincoln now; such i
that for which his supporters will cast thei

Especial Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, August ?.

Two minutes after Lcdlic's division had
moved to the attack, PottcrS and Wilcox IS
division, of the same corps, moved to the
right and left of the work. Several at
tcmpts were made to continue the assault,
but all failed under the sweeping fire OF
the enemy About six o'clock, one of Gen.
C REQ 8 colored divisions; was ordered to
move forward to the right of the fort up
on Cemetery Hill, and advanced steadily
until it got under the en6lading fire of the
enemy, when, instead of keeping to the
right Of other divisions, the blacks got
confused and rushed pcll-mell among the
other troops In and about the fort. The

Massachusetts, for instance, Governor An

We are getting heartily tired of this
everlasting pandering to Massachusetts,

Governor Andrew orders proceedings un-

permanent or temporary investment.
1t is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders the various descriptions
Of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of Indebted
ness, the faith or ability ofprivatc parties stock
companies or separate communities only is pleGg
ed for payment, while for the debts of the United
States the whole property of the country is holden
to secure the payment of both principal and in
terestin coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in sums
from $50 up to any magnitude. on the same terms
and are thus made equally available to the small
est lender and tie largest capitalist. They can
be converted into money at any moment, and the
holder will have the benefit OF the interest.
1t may be useful to state in this connection that
the total Funded Debt of the United States on
which interest is payable in gold, on the Sd day
of March, 1861. was S76S ,965,UOO The interest
on this debt for the coming fiscal year will be
SIS 1897 ,l26, while the customs revenue in gold
for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1864,
has been so far at the rate Of over 800 000, 600
per annum.
1t will be seen that even the present gold reve
nucs of the Gov eminent are largely in excess of
the wants of the Treasurer for the payment Of
gold interest while the recent increase Of the tar
iff will doubtless raise the annual receipts from
customs on the same amount Of impOrtations. to
$50, 900 900 per annum.
