From Charleston.

New YORK. Jan. 3.
Advices from Folly Island, received per
steamer Arago, state that our guns at Cum
mings Point opened on Charleston on Christ
mas morning, lasting from one to three o'clock.
Several fires were kindIed in the city, which
burned considerable amount of property
The rebel batteries replied without damage
to our gunboats.
The Marble Head was fired into by rebel
battery on Stone Inlet and two men killed and
five wounded Assisted by the Pawnee she
compelled the rebels to leave the works. Gen
Gordon, with detachment of men, landed
later in the day, and took possession Of the
works. The guns were subsequently brought
off by Commander Balsh of the Pawnee. They
are S-inch sea coast howitZers. The rebels
had one killed and five wounded.

Senator Hill might have added justly, says
the Macon Telegraph, that the Halls of Leg
isature swarm with officers, some of them
high in rank, who have left their comm ands
in the field in order to shine in the safer sphere
of politics. These have not only withdrawn
their own services from the proper line of
their duty, but they inhict the greater inju-
ry to the country by the influence of their
example to those who are in lower positions.
This wholesale desertion of officers and pri~
Yates as Mr.. Hill remarks, 1T is the only
reason why the battle of Chattanooga was
lost" The same may be said of the other
lost battles and bootess victories, and it is the
reason why Georgia and the cause of the Con
federacy are now in danger.

lowing letter, which intimates that the city
of Charleston is mined with powder
CHARLESTON, Nov. 9.-DEAR CoUsIN-FreC
has consented at last to let me come to Macon
so you may expect me in a very few DAYS
The other day a Yankee shell exploded just
around the corner from our house, tearing 6
building to pieces and setting two others on
fire. No body was injured, as all the bull
dings were vacated some weeks ago | don't
believe there are two hundred ladies in town
who are able to get away, but Fred declared
tnat we should not leave while he had a root
over us, but now, that he sees the danger we
are in, he is glad to hurry us off. Most of the
families have goneto Dorchester, Summerville,
Comboher, and even Walterboro, and every
house III those places is crowded. Nearly ev-
cry room is filled with beds, and every bed has
to accommodate three or four persons.
So much for the war, but would willingly
live III stye the remainder of my life if it
would keep the Yankee miscreants out of our
city. A majority or our people have left most
OF their furniture i'll their houses, expecting
III few weeks to return to them but of course,
they know that II the Yankees take the city,
LIiSli HOustS anu furniture VIII all be DESTROYED.
Gen. Beauregard caused information to reach
all that if he finds it impossible to hold the
city, he will leave it a mass Of ruins. No one
will complain of this, as they know the barba-
rians have sworn to destroy every vestige of
the secession nest if they can take it. If they
should ever enter our house, may God have
mercy on them, for l can't. If they ever en-
ter the city, pou will hear of the greatest earth
quake ever caused by human agency. 1t will
be a consolation, Louise for you to know that
should the Vandals ever get here, they will
never be able to reach Macon Gen. Beaure-
gard isconfident they could never get ten miles
beyond the city in any direction. but he is
equally confident they can never come in.
1t is mournful to go thro' our strsets, once
alive with beauty and fashion, and see them
entirely deserted, with the exception of nov
and then one Of our colored Peep or a squalid
Irish woman.
But am to see you so soon will not write
a long letter.
Fred sends his love, but says he will not
write until, dipping his pen in a Yankee car
cass, he can write with red ink.

Again the cry of ''On to Richmond" has
been started but this time the cry does not
come from an editor Gen BUTLER, the hero
of New Orleans has conceived new plan for
the exchange Of prisoners. This is a grand
sweeping rush with 100000 volunteers, on
the express errand of clearing out Richmond,
and wiping out Libby Prison and Castle
Thunder and their barbarous keepers.
Washington dispatch says:
Gen Bntler has been in consultation with
the President, Secretary Of War, and General
Halleck most of the day. He proposes that
the President issue proclamation for 100 900
volunteers, for limited number of days, for
the especial purpose of crusade on Richmond,
and lberating our starving prisoners there
He says he can with that number take the
whole concern, and thus clean out that rebel
nest. 1t is not known what will be done i'll
the matter.
If that plan is allowed by the War Depart
ment, the old cry Of 'On to Richmond, will
be watchword that will rally the people
200, 900 strong, if necessary, in an incredible
short time, and Gen. Butler would find big
ger army at his back than any General ever
yet had. Well might Richmond exclaim

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The Navy Depart
ment has received official information in rela-
ton to an attack upon the gunboat Marble
head, i'll Stono Inlet, on Christmas morning, by
which Robert Brown, Lorenzo D. Shaw,
and Jos. Phillips were killed, and Charles
Moore, A. Henderson, John Hackett, and
Charles Semmes wounded Commander
Balch, of the Pawnee, says: AT 625 in the
morning of the 25th December, the enemy
opened on the MarDlehead, which was replied
to vigorously. At 6:25 the Pawnee opened
fire on the enemy's batteries from her 100
pound rifle guns. At 7 o'clock the G. P
Williamson hearing the firing, slipped her
cable and came down Folly River under sail
and opened fire handsomely. The rapid fire
from the three vessels soon cansed the enemy
to retreat and at 1880 the enemy had retreat
ted in disorder, leaving two of his guns in the
batteries The Pawnee then proceeded off
Segarsville. Soon after this Gen. Gordon
commanding the troops on the south end of
Folly Island, came up.

From the Springfield tMass.) Republican. 25.
The telegraph accomplished last night one
of the greatest fsats on record. The night
was peculiarly favorable for long currents, be-
ing perfectly clear all over the country, and
at the suggestion of some of the operators, a
complete connection was made between Port
land, Maine, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, via
Boston, Springfield, New York, Pittsburg, Pa,
Louisville, X, and Nashville, Tenn, in all a
wire of more than 1000 miles in length, so
that the operator at Portland spoke directly
with the operator at Chattanooga. merry
Christmas" greetings and all sorts of con
CALCULATIONS were exchanged between the two
offices, with a general expression of good feel
ing all along the line. Chattanooga said that
the soldiers down there were rapidly re-enlist-
ing, and Portland replied that he was glad of
it, These two men 1000 miles apart contin-
ued to converse with each other fifteen min
utes or more, their companions at intervals of
200 miles or SO, attentively listening to what
they had to say and occasionally putting in a
word. Who says the American telegraph
isn't big thing?
