FRON CITY POINT.

FoRT MONROE, Aug. 81.
A steamer from City Point states that
heavy eannonading began on our extreme
left in front of the 9TH Corps, which con-
tinued until o'clock this morning.
Heavy musketry firing was heard up to
the hour at which the mail boat left, which
was at 10 o'clock this morning.
The fighting was described to be Of the
most spirited character, and was caused by
the enemy trying to drive Us from the
Weldon Railroad Up to last accounts
they had failed to do it. The 9TH Corps
has been reinforced and no doubt will hold
the position.

NEW YORK August Y.
The New Orleans Era of the 14th has
the following from Mobile:
The steamer Peytonia, from Mobile
Bay, arrived this morning.
We learn by this arrival that the land
forces Of General Granger are within 500
yards of Fort Morgan.
The fact that the enemy does not fire is
considered proof that the fort will soon
surrender.
Mortar and other batteries, with the
gunboats, are ready to begin the bonn
bardment soon as the word IS given.
The surrender of the place is hourly
expected.

Costen supply II EDeba nas
The Liverpool Mercury. in an article OF
the foregoing subject says: s
As far Is We can Judge from the re-
turns of the cotton imported during the
last three years. it would appear IS if the
supply was Increasing, from the lowest
point to which it fen steadily, but not
very rapidly. and at the rate Of about
100000 cwts. per aunum. Id the year
1860, which preceded the outbreak in
America, the quantity Of cotton imported
into the United Kingdom vas l2, 4l9 ,096
cwts.. which lisa full supply. In 1861,
when the effect of the civil war was scarce
~ felt the quantity Of cotton imported Was
1925 378 cwts. Ia 1869. when the
American ports were entirely closed, and
the falling off in the supply Of cotton vas
greatest the imports sank to 4,678, 1888
cwts. La 1868, when supplies from 9TH
er countries than America began to in.
crease, the import rose to 5. 978, 422 cwts.
During the FIRST nine months OF The pres
ent year the imports Of cotton amounted
to 8 323, 30 cwts.; and allowing the i'm
ports OF the last three months OF this year
to be on the largest scale that is at all CON
sistent with probability, it is quite clear
that the imports of the present year are
net likely to amount to much more than
half the amount of 1860. That was a
liberal but not an excessive supply, and
until we get very much nearer that an cunt
there can be no reason to think that the
'upply Of cotton will be at all equal to the
demands Of the world.

A PLEASANT INcIDENT.-The Rev.

an official visit to California, communi.
Gates the following incident:
"a poor little boy brought to the San.
itary Fair, held at Marysville, a white
chicken. which was II he had to offer,
saying it might make some broth for a
pnor, sick soldier. He had decked his
little Offering with ribbons of red, white
and blue but he had no money TO pay
the entrance fee, aud was rejected at the
door. As he passed down the street, a
gentleman seeing his distress, listened to
bis story, gave him ticket and sent him
10. The simplicity of the child and the
beauty of the Offering attracted attention,
and the chicken was put up and sold for
four hundred dollars in gold for the SAM
tary Commission"
A little boy in Baltimore was muir.
dered by cowardly soldier the other day.
He was vending lemonade at a stand,
when the Villas, after drinking a glass,
accused the little fellow or trying to cheat
him, and deliberately drew his revolver
and shot him dead. The murderer was
arrested.

Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
WASHINGTON Feb. 70. 1861

Special Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 29, 1864.
Mr.. Sumner, in very elaborate report
on the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law,
presented to-day the words of the fugi-
tive clause in the Constitution, gave its ori-
gin and history, exposes the unconstitu-
tionality of the present law, and reheases
some of the consequences locally resulting
from it. His position is essentially this
That the Fugitive Slave Law is contrary
to the laws of jurisprudence. A clause
of the Constitution has been interpreted
to sanction the hunting Of slaves, and is
further interpreted as an original compro-
mise of that instrument contrary to the
testimony of history. Upon this misin-
terpreted and misrepresented clause, Con-
gress has enacted laws many times un-
constitutionally, especially in three par
ticulars; namely: First, AS usurpation
by Congress of ungranted power; second,
As denial of trial by jury in cases Of
personal liberty, and third, as the conces-
sion of personal liberty to the unaided
judgment of petty magistrate, without
the oath of office or connection with iu-
dicial power, appointed and continued in
Office at the pleasure Of the Court, and
not by act of the President, yet were it
strictly constitutional, regarding it in its
terrible consequences, .(and it is none the
less offensive as scourgc to the African
race, grievance to the whole country, a
scandal abroad, and a dead weight upon
the Union at kome-dcvised as an insult
to free States, and badge of subjection
unconstitutional, then, in all its points,
mischevious in its influences and obnox-
ious in its authors it should be repealed
at once, and, if possible, obliterated from
the statues to put down the rebellion,
upheld OUR fame abroad, save the Consti-
tuition from outrage, extinguith slavery,
and establish national justice.
SUMMERS REPORT ON THE FUGITIVE
SLAVE LAW.
Messrs. Sumner, Howard, Pomeroy,
Brown, and Conness, united in the report
on the Fugitive Slave Law sent in last
night.
The minority report of Mr. Buckaew
was signed by that gentleman and Mr..
Carlile. 1t takes the position that the
clauses of the Constitution referring to
fugityes, if they had appeared in compact
between Independent powers it would de-
pend upon the good faith of the party
charged with the duty ofrcclamation; but
,hat in one case, the Government of the
United States must possess power to en-
force it, against State in default, on exc
cution Of constitutional duty, Itroviews
the positions of the majority report, and
objects to its repeal, as against the exist
ingrights of many citizens, as burdensomc,
not to rebe!ljous communities, but to the
loyal Border States, and as bad public pol.
lev. Giving to Northern States apopu'a ion
which is misplaced, and productive of OBJ
| vious social evils.

Veteran EsOuniicS.

When the draft was ordered last year,
there seemed to be no enthusiasm mani
tested in behalf Of recruiting, everything
seemed at a stand still there was no pos
sible way to avoid the Conscription. How
different is it now. \ new army seemed
to rise in day; all was life and activity.
What was the cause of. this change p
There may have been, (and doubtless
were J various reasons for this. but certain
Iy the re enlisting of the veteran soldiers
done much to stir the young loyal heart.
To their courage, endurance, and patriot
ism, may be ascribcd much of the present
hopeful conidence--to them, we are, to a
great measure, indebted to the three hun
dred thousand volunteer recruits now gone
into the service, Why then should they
not receive at least as liberal bounty as
a new recruit? Certainly there is no
good reason for it. Neither the mistakes
Of officers nor the tardy rules of the Pro-
vost Marshal General, should be allowed
to prevent these brave soldiers from OBJ
tanning that bounty which they were led
to believe they would receive, and which
they are richly entitled to.
We have been informed that an order
was read to them, while on dress parade,
informing them that they would be able
to obtain local bounty; supposing that
whatever bounty was being raised by their
respective districts, would be distributed
among them, they gave the matter little
further attention. Local districts too,
were willing to pay thsp in preference to
others, but were reluctantly obliged to
abandon their determination, being in
formed that the Provost Marshal could
not allow credit for them Be the er-
ror where it may, we feel confident that
the people wish these brave soldiers, whose
influence has went so far in filling up our
army, to be treated with liberality. All
they have received in the shape of boun-
ty is four hundred dollars, while many of
the new levies have got from six to eight
hundred. Is this as it should be? We
think not We introduce this subject
now, for the purpose of drawing public
attention to it. We hope the Legislature
will be liberal enough to give them do
nation or bonnty, of at least two hundred
dollars. If not, we think that our coun-
ty should have an act passed, authorizing
the Commissioners to pay those belonging
to this county who got no local bounty, at
least one hundred and fifty dollars. This
would be but small acknowledgment for
the many and various services they have
rendered the country, in this its hour of
trial and danger. What say tho people ?
