Lieutenant Montstsrks of the Ilth
Ohio, the Oldest inhabitant of Libby
Prison, arrived here to-day, He has been
in steady confinement since the battle of
Winchester, 1863, never having once been
out from under the roof of Libby for if
teen months. No prisoner of war of ours
has been held SO long since the war COM
menced.
He brings news from A. D. Richardson
and James Browne down to the 1st of
September, at which time both were doing
well.
Our prisoners, on Belle Island, some 900
in number, are suffering considerably, many
of them being without shoes, coats, hats,
Sc, and are all on half rations.
The rebels, in Richmond, have fastened
their last hope of the success of Mcclellan
and Pendleton, or, if they fail in that, the
frank ones among them, have no hesita-
ton in saying their cause is lost.
From one-half to three-fourths Of the
citizens of Richmond are living on corn

Eggs are worth one dollar piece or II

COLUMBUS, Sept. l5.
There are no new features about the
State Fair to-day, worthy of any particu-
lar mention, other than the immense
crowd that was in attendance. In this
respect it exceeded the best day during the
Fair last year.
The receipts, at the ticket Offices, were
over ten thousand dollars, and making due
allowance,for those who previously pur-
chased tickets, dead heads Sc, there could
not have been present less than fifty
thousand people.
Tomorrow, which is the last day, well
arranged programme will be carried out
and will, of ofcourse, draw another large
crowd.
Among the premiums awarded to-day
are the following:
Thoroughbred mich cows, Ist and End

immense demonstration worthy of the
cause.
Powerful speeches were made by Judge
Hon. johnson, formerly of Cincinnati,
and who. has left his business
in Washington to assist the Union men OF
Ohio in this campaign, by Senator Sher-
man and Colonel Granville Moody.
The utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and il
was late hour before the meeting broke

September ID, 1864.
Picket and artillery firing has been kept
up very briskly since Saturday, the ire Of
the rebels not seeming to have cooled of
yet at being surprised and losing so many
prisoners.
Some five or six of our men have been
brought into the hospitals, the majority
badly wounded, aad some few have died.
Yesterday large mortar opened on the
right, and threw a number Of shells into
Petersburg with great precision.
A rebel sharpshooter this afternoon stole
across the Appomattox, and, watching his
chance, shot one Of our men at battery
he was soon discovered, and as he was ma-
king his way back across the river, well
directed shot struck the boat tearing it to
pieces, and it is supposed, killing the occu-
pant.
Deserters report that Lee announced to
his troops on Saturday that he would give
the Yankees fourteen days to get away
from here, but did not say what he would
do if we refused to leave.
These men also represent matters in a
bad way over there. They have been
living on short rations, and those of poor
quality. The first thing they ask onreach-
ing camp is "where are we to get rations2
=" We were just going to draw 'emwhen we
left"

scarce, and they have difficulty in getting
enough for their cooking.
Libby Prison is still positively known
to be mined. Prisoeer in Libby saw the
guards remove torpedoes from these mines
during the heavy food in April, and after
carefully examining them to see if any
had become damp, returned them to their
places. Even so high an authority as the
Bishop of Richmond admitted that it was
the intention to blow up the prisoners at
the time of Dahlgren's raid, if there had
been any danger of their being rescued.

FROM MOBILE.

NEW YoRK, Sept. Is.
The Herald Mobile Bay aycorrespondence
of the 4th says:
Everything is quiet here, and there is no
probability Of immediate military move
ments upon Mobile
The sunken rebel ironelad, Baltic, still
efectually blockades the main channel
across Dog river bar, but the Winnebago,
double turreted monitor, has found u
passage through the obstruction to a point
nearly opposite Mobile, and can drop Il
and Is inch shells into the city at will
The Metacomet, Sebago and Kenebec
have also reached thesame place, and are
in line of battle ready to shell the city at
signal from Faragut. Mobile is entirely
at our mercy. The distance of the war
vessels mentioned above mentioned, from
Mobile is but three and hall, and their
largest guns can throw shells into the re-
m0test suberbs. The rebel rams and gun
boats are in plain sight, but do not make
the slightest hostile demonstration. They
seem to have had enough of Farragut and
his feet in the recent contert.
The rebel vessels referred to are the
rams Alabama, National and Tuscaloosa,
the gunboat Morgan, and one other ram,
name not known. They ran away
above the city in the mouth of the Alaba-
ma River, and just out of range. The
gunboat J. P Jackson has succeeded in
capturing the largest one of the three
launches that have been lowering around
Mississippi Sound of late with the object
