CITY ITEMS.

To ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, AND TO
JAMES TRIMBLE IN PARTICULAR.-Arriving
at my old home on yesterday, saw posted
on the street corners hand bills announcing
that you were going to make a speech from
the Capitol in the evening. When the time
announced in your hand bill arrived, you
were promptly on hand, which is COM
mendable. /, with party of my friends,
stood up and listened to you for two hours
several of the steps being occupied-being
determined to learn of you, if possible,
something in regard to the manner of put
ting stop to this cruel and bloody war.
In the course of your remarks you said
many things to which / cannot subscribe.
Now for the purpose of giving the English
language and Lindlay Murray fair chance,
I challenge you (not to mortal combat) but
to discussion of the subject treated upon
last night on the West steps of the Capitol
where, if the English language is not the
victor, it will not be my fault.

From New Orleans.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE steamer Matan-
zas, from New Orleans on the 31st, has ar
rived.
Gen. Canby's order for the enrolment of
the militia, has created intense excitement
in secesh circles.
Since the firing about Vicksburg upon
the Clara Bell, by which three men were
killed and nine wounded, everything has
been quiet on the Mississippi as far as heard
from.
Several schooners and smugglers are re-
ported in Lake Pontchartrain, capturing
and burning fishing sloops. The Captain
OF the tug boat Sentinel reports that she
was chased to Southwest Pass by sus-
picious looking steamer, bark rugged and
painted black. The rebels assert that she
was the Electric Spark, which had been
fitted out as pirate, and she had since run
into Mobile Bay.
The attack on the defenses of Mobile is
daily expected, and probably has already
commenced.
There are no movements in this depart
ment in a state sufficiently advanced to bear
mention.

Fnrragut BOmbarding Mobile
Capture of Fort IHObsOn-BrOwns-
vile, Texas, Evacuated.
Especial TO The Herald.)

New ORLEANS, July 3O.-Information
was received at headquarters Department
of the Gulf Thursday, that Admiral Farra-
gut had passed forts Morgan and Gaines,
which had been supposed to command the
entrance to Mobile bay. and is bombardng
the upper defenses. If this information is
correct, the forts must speedily surrender.
The Admiral has now six ironclads off Mo-
bile, and two more left this city to-day.
The ebombardmentha has continued three days,
and it is expected the city will surrender
before the close of the next week. Gen.
Granger will command the land forces
which will occupy Mobile and garrison the
forts, if perfect success crowns the move
ments of Admiral Farragut, as everybody
here expects.
On the 10th Of July, Gen. Asboth, COM
manding at Pensacola, left that post with a
small force, and the next day came upon a
body of the enemy's cavalry, about four
hundred strong, strongly entrenched at
Fort Hobson. After sharp fight the reb-
els retreated, leaving all their ammunition,
their flag, official papers, stores, seventeen
horses, &c. Gen. Asboth then returned to
Pensacola.
Our forces have evacuated Brownsville,
Texas, and all the stores have been sent to
Brazos and New Orleans.

The Capture of StOneman Dis
credited-TheR Rebels Raising the
Black Fling

New YORK, Aug. 6.-The Posts special
says the rebel report of the capture of
Stoneman is discredited' in military circles.
No news from Sherman to-day, and the
report in reference to Farragut's operations
at Mobile, are believed to be correct, as such
a movement was expected at the time sta
ted.
A special to the Chronicle states that the
rebels in Maryland have raised the black
flag, and announce they have come to burn
and destroy.
Advices from Petersburg represent eve
rything quiet there.
A Washington special to the Commercial,
says the Government has received no infor-
nation Of an attack on Mobile. Admiral
Farragut informed the Navy Department
on the 26th, that he would make an attack
as soon as the land forces were ready, which
would be on the Goth or 30th ult. Two of
his iron-clads could pass Dog River bar up
to the city.

10 the Press:

We are about revising and pruning our
exchange list. Many more papers come to
us than we need, and yet we dislike to cut
off any; but the extraordinary price which
everything now brings, makes it necessary
for us to economise wherever we can. 1t is
with regret that we part company from
some of our Brethren of the Press; but 'the
state of the country" seems to require it.
If we inadvertently strike from our list any
exchanges that are entitled to The STATES
MAN for printing our Prospectus, they will
please notify us of the mistake, and we will
cheerfully correct it.

Rumored Surrender Of Cen.
Stoneman.
EgglestOn Defeats Chase for Nomination for
Congress.
The Latest from the Army Of the
Potomac.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA letter from the
Army of the Potomac, dated Friday even
ing, says no change in the positions of the
two armies since the late battle. There has
been the usual picket firing. Heavy firing
was heard this evening in the direction of
the 10th Corps.
A report was circulated that the enemy
had attempted to blow up fort in the VI
cinity, but were unsuccessful. A rebel
battery on the north side of the James river
has become very annoying for day or two.
Quite an engagement took place this morn
ing between it and our gunboats, and it
was finally forced to leave.
The weather continues very warm and
considerable sickness prevails among the
soldiers, who suffer from diarrhoea.
st. George Court House was wantonly set
on fire and destroyed this morning by some
soldiers.
LATER.-A letter from the Army of the
Potomac, dated Saturday morning, says
The rebels exploded a mine yesterday even
ing before dark, in front of the 9Th corps,
but as they had only dug within forty yards
of our works, no damage was done. They
also attempted to make charge, cheering
loudly, but they must have been chagrined
at finding themselves so far from our lines.
Considerable firing was kept up for an hour.
The enemy's loss was heavy-our's very
light. All quiet all morning.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-The Richmond Ex-
aminer. of the Sd, has dispatch from the
rebel Gen. Iverson, saying Gen. Stoneman
had surrendered to him with five hundred
men. The dispatch is dated at Griffin, Ca,
July 30th, and says Atlanta has been ftlri-
ously shelled for two days, and early that
morning Cheatham was attacked. The
Union force was easily repulsed with no
loss to the rebels. A Union raiding force
was captured at Fayetteville on the Doth,
and burned the wagons, tore up the track,

The Rebels Routed at Fort Smith
From Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. GA dispatch dated
Fort Smith, Ark, Aug. 1st, says the rebels
under Cooper, Gano and STANDARD, five hun
dred strong, with twelve pieces OF artillery,
moved up yesterday with the intention Of
attacking Fort Smith. Gen. Thayer moved
out to meet the enemy a short distance
from the fort, and completely routed them.
Our cavalry is still pursuing. Our loss was
very small; that of the enemy is unknown.
Gen. Fisk telegraphs to Gen. Rosecrans
from Fort Joe, that recruiting is lively in
his district that the militia called out to
hunt guerrillas acted nobly; that reports of
insubordination and lawiessness are false.
The General says the demonstration of loy-
atty and power has been of incalculable
value to the district in convincing the reb-
els and their recruiting officers north that
Missouri is hereafter to be governed by
loyal men.

Interesting from the Gulf Depart
ment.

New YORK, Aug. 6.-The New Orleans
correspondent of The Tribune says the hor-
rible condition of our returned prisoners
from Texas has induced the General COM
manding to waive some points of difference
and order an exchange of all the rebels
held, some $500. The same correspondent
contradicts rumors of heavy fighting at
MOrganzia. Ullman holds the place so
strongly that the rebels wont attempt to
take it. He also doubts the reported cap
ture of the forts in Mobile Bay.
The Herald's New Orleans letter says all
able bodied registered enemies will be kept
as prisoners, pending the present military
movements, they having avowed an inten-
tion to join the rebel army. All negroes in
the streets are now conscripted.
Gen. Ullman defeated the rebels near the
Atchafaylaya on the 2Sth. 1t is reported
that Dick Taylor has crossed to the neigh
borhood of Plaquimine.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 6.-Forneys Press
says: We have received the following dis
patch from high official source, and are
assured the details are perfectly reliable:
HARRISBURG, Aug. 5.-Advices from ALLIE
gheny county, Maryland, to the I'd, state
that heavy firing was heard in the neigh
borhood of Cumberland all day. A rebel
deserter says the rebel cavalry under john
son, McCausland and Jackson is advancing
on Cumberland, and this State. and they viii
be Joined by Early and Imboden. The
whole force is to unite at Cumberland and
march on Pittsburg and Wheeling.
Their whole strength is 25,OOO or 10000.
If successful they march on Cincinnati and
cross into Kentucky. The rebels have
burned all the bridges on the Cumberland
turnpike, and felled trees across the road.
1t was the sth Virginia regiment that burn
ed Chambersburg.
Gen. Averill will be compelled to move
towards Bedford to operate against the
rebels. He will do all he can to arrest their
progress.
