Fiction vs.. Facts.

Governor Brown, OF Georgia, in his message IL
the Legislature of that Stat, dated 3d inst, says;
'Our enemies have rcpudatcd and tramplcd un-
dor loot the great principles Of constitutional liberty
ana nave attempted 10 rear, upon the ruins of our
Republican institution, aconsoIidatcd empire under
lhe popular mmc Of u Union of States We have
wNen up arms to resist this and 30 maintain Rcpub-
u'ahi'm IN ITS purity with the sovereignty of the
states, and the personal rights and liberties Of the
people No people ever accepted the alternative of
war N nober cause, or exhibited TO the world "A
moro sublime spectacle Of moral grandeur and he

No writer O! romance ever drew ON his imngina-
uuh more freely than Coy, Brown mas done 'ncn-
ming the above paragraph, The simple unadorncd
facts being that the southern States while in the
enjoyment OF the greatest liberty that ever existed
M the world under a Government IN the hands of
their own partisuns, deliberately seized the forts and
property Of the Governments and raised batteries
ogalu, Forts Sumter and Moultric, defended by
less than seycuty-Hyc men, who, unfortunately,
never rcia'ntcd by firing n single gun until they
were attacked by numerous batteries and six or
seven thousand mon And all this uncxamplcd
truachory and outrage was pcrpcrutcd in the sacred
name of Liberty from fear that ut n future day,
Congress and the Federal Government might take
some steps to rectiy the greatest outrage and niquity
ever purpetrtcd 10y man; the holding in perpetual
bondage Of tcllowbcings, endowed with the same
Faculties as himself and therefore entitled to the
same freedom. We suppose, however, that this ac-

Our Nationality.

David Dudley Field made telling speech at the
Union Jubilee in Cooper Institute, New York,
last Friday evening, which he began as follows
The victory which we celebrate is not the victory
of party-it is not the victory of class or indi-
ual. it Is the victory of ideas-the great primal
thought which has created this success-the thought
which has taken hold Of the minds and hearts of the
millions whose votes dropped silently at the polls,
have uttered these audible voices with which all the
air is llcd-the thought which has done all this is
our nationality. TCheers. That the people who
possess this continent between the Gulf and the
Lakes, and from sea to sea, are not many nations,
but one nation. indivisbe forever is the neradica-
bic belief Of loyal Americans. They held it before
the war began, but the fires Of the conflict have
burned it into their hearts where it will remain till
the blood has left them forever.

From Charleston.

New YORK, Aug. ia Hilton Head
letter, dated the -l4th, to the Herald, says:
From Gen. .Schimmelfinig's district we have
the gratifying report that on Tuesday night
large propeller, something like the Com
mander, ran through our fleet off Charles
ton and got aground on Sullivan's Island,
near Fort Moultrie. She was discovered
in the morning at daylight, and several
shots were fired, nearly every one doing
execution. The firing was kept up until
she was complete wreck. She is now a
helpless hulk, nearly under water. A por-
tion of her cargo was evidently destroyed
with her, but considerable will be saved by
the rebel wreckers.
The fire from our batteries is still kept
up on Sumter and the city with very graft
flying accuracy. A deserter who came in
recently informs us that our firing does
great damage, and is directed at the weak
est points of the fort, fact attributable to
Fosters knowledge of it while stationed
there. The rebels, it is said, express great
fear lest the continued bombardment of
points by no means impregnable, will ulti-
mately interfere with the safety of their
casemates, and much weaken their defen-

Interesting from Mobile.

New ORLEANS, via CAIRO, Aug. 1S.-The
steamer Kate Dale, from Fort Gaines, Mo-
bile harbor, yesterday morning, arrived
here last night. Farragut prepared his
fleet for action, and issued orders to attack
Fort Morgan at eight o'clock yesterday
morning. 1t was to receive a furious en-
tilading fire from the fleet and land force.
Its rear is said to have been invested wher-
ever there was foot of ground to land up
on. The rebels destroyed all the out-buld-
ings of the fort, and also burned their only
vessel lying under its guns. Everything
about the fort indicated determination to
contest the battle till the last channel to
Dog river is unobstructed. The naval and
land forces are confident of success.
AT late hour last night we heard that
Farragut had demanded the immediate sur
render Of the fort. Farragut's demand for
its surrender on Tuesday was refused, the
commander of the fort saying that he had
six months provisions and fighting rations,
and would resist to the last moment. Be-
fore this, Granger's force in the rear, had
cut the communications of the fort. The
ram Tennessee was in the attack. Farragut
is confident that he can reduce the fort.
The Hartford was badly injured. We hold
all the channels to the bay.

Wheeler's Movements - Colonel
Straight Reported Killed.

New YORK, Aug. 19.-The Herald has
the following special:
NASHVILLE, Aug. 1S.-The rebel General
Wheeler moved round on Cleveland, after
his repu.se at Dalton, and is trying to get
on the railroad to Knoxville. 1t is reported
that Steadman engaged him near Graysville
on the 10th and defeated him. Steadman
is reported wounded and Col. Straight, 5lst
Indiana Vol. killed. Wheeler's attack on
Dalton during Sunday and Monday was
repulsed with loss to him of 1900 men.
Col. Liebold, commanding the post, was
reinforced on Monday by Steadman. The
l4th U. S. Colored troops charged upon
Wheeler, who fell back and finally retreat
ed. The Union loss is about thirty. The
railroad track has not been injured.
LOUISVILLE, Aug. 1S.-A gentleman just
from the front reports that on Tuesday
Gen. Steadman started from Chattanooga,
and met the rebel force under Wheeler at
Graysville, eighteen miles distant. A Sc
we're engagement ensued. The Federal loss
is not stated. 1t is reported that Steadman
was severely wounded, and Col. Straight,
5lst Indiana, killed. A rebel force is report
ed at Cleveland, Tenn.
Cleveland on Wednesday. The rebel cav
airy have divided into small squads, aad
are demonstrating upon towns in Northern
Georgia and Tennessee. The Federal pick
cts were fired upon at various points be-
tween Chattanooga and Bridgeport. The
probable intention of the rebels is to de-
stroy the bridges between Falling Water and
Bridgeport. As our informant left, Major
Moe, Gen. Steadman's Adjutant, was leav-
ing Chattanooga for Graysville with cav
alry force,
