The Tribune's Washington special says
Chief Engineer Latimef arrived this
morning from the feet of Mobile, and re-
ports when he left. active preparations
we're being made for immediate action BY
Farragut.
He describes Fort Morgan as a brick
structure on the Sumter plan, and banked
up, as an additional precaution, With sand,
80 that the front is considered imprega.
bic; F.; but, being once passed, can be re-
duced by attack from the rear. Farrsgnt
having succeeded in passing the fort, We
shall doubtless bear of its capi.ulation or
evacuation in day or two.
Official dispatches from Farragut are
expected TO morrow. Il is no part of his
plan to attempt the capture of the city,
but only TO relieve portion Of the large
fleet which has been stationed there for
the past six months.
Maury's statement that the Tecumseh
was destroyed by Fort Morgan is totally
disbelieved at the Navy Department
The vessel was not likely to engage the
fort, and no chance shot would have sunk
her.
The same correspondent says it is gen
orally believed in the Army of the Poto-
mac that Lee has sent Lopgstreet to
Hoods assistance.
The Times Washington special of the
9th says Cabinet meeting was held, al
which questions of State policy Of more
than ordinary interest and Importance
we're discussed.
1t is stated by those who are in
timate with the poiit ical and social rela-
tions OF the different members, that Stan
ton has resigned, and that the President
has accepted his resignation. II is not.
however. positively known that such is
the fact.

SECOND DISPATCH.
Mobile, August 8.
1t is painfully humiliating ID announce
the shameful surrender of Fort Gaines a,
8 o'clock this morning, by Gil. Charles
Anderson, of the 2lst Alabama regiment.
This powerful work was provisioned for
SIX months and with q garrijon of 600
men. He communicated With the epe-
my's feet by Gag Of truce, without the
sanction Of Gen. Page, who itouired by
signal what bis purpose was. bat received
no answer His attention was attracted by
signal guns. Page repeatedly telegra oh.
ed "Hold on to your fort"
The same night be visited Fort Gaines
and found Anderson on board ihe Yankee
fieet arranging the terms of capitulation.
he left peremptory orders for And erson
on his return not to surrender the fort and
his command.
Fort Morgan was signaled this morn
ing, bat no answer was received except
the hosting of the Yankee flag over the
ramparts OF Fort Gaines.
Anderson's conduct il officially pro-
nounced inexplicabIe and shameful.
Dispatches just received from General
Sheridan report his force is moving
against the enemy up the Shena ndoah -
At p IN. they were skirmishing about
10 miles from Winchester.
This morning Gen. Grant reports the
explosion OF an ordnance boat yesterday,
loaded with ammunition, at City Point
wharf. No particulars have been receiv-

not exceed 600.

EE The Missouri Reprblican. which
at first laughed at the exposure Of the
secret reasonable conspiracy of the 30.
A. K" society, aud then denied that
there was any such association, now ad-
mits its existence and condems its policy,
but asserts that its power and numbers
are overrated. It says:
"Col. SAnderson 10 his exposition OF
the Order of %. A. K ; has done nothing
more than his duty. He prosecu ted his
Investigations diligently, and although we
believe the number said to compose the
organization is immensely exaggerated, !,
aud that many thousands more conn nected
Themselves with it with . view to the as.
serlion of what they believed to b their
rights under the Constitution, the expo
sition, if it had no other effect, will serve
to convince the people OF the bad policy
OF all such secret, oath-bound societies."
The dangerous power of this traitorous
secret association results not SO much
from theIereat number of its members AS
from the fact that the society is in league
with rebels in arms, and is eudeavo oring,
with sanguine hopes and ha.tering pros
poets of success, to give tone to the Dem
ocratic party, by controlling its conven-
tions, inditing its platforms and nominal
ing its candidates, as it did at Peoria the
otherday. and is striving to do at Chicago
on the 29th. Should they succeed in
foisting reasonable platform on the par
~ through the Chicago Convention, the
regular party hacks and their followers,
including even the Missouri Republican,
we fear, will follow the party. even if the
party goes into rebebellion against the

appears that, BY a modification ef the Or

ing as to who should supefintsad the st-
tack occurred. and neither was present to

The Herald's correspondent near At
lanta says the operations around the city
have settled down to regular siege. We
are poonding away on every side, and it
doomed to be soon reduced.
The rebels garrison the forts and en-.
trenchments with militia, and use veterans
to operate when required, their line run
ming 90 they can be maased with great
rapidity.
Yesterday demonstration was made
along our lines, resulting in driving the
rebels back to their entrenchments, gain
ing the rifle pits and capturing : picket
reserve of 100 men. The rebels cannot
continue long in Atlanta. II they con-
tinue butting against our works they will
soon wear themselves out without doing
as much hurt, and run the risk Of losing
their communications, upon which We
are constantly operating. The Macon line
is the only one left them. II is said we
have destroyed that; if SO, we have got
them, if they cannot succeed in getting
through our lines somewhere. Yet We
are 30 powerfully entrenched that single
line alone will hold our works against any
assault.
Our hospitals reflect great credit on the
medical gentlemen in attendance.
The Herah's Potomsc Army CORE
