Further Particulars of the Fight
i'm Mobile Bay.

New YORK, Aug. 1.-THE steamer Gre
ole, from New Orleans on the 7th, has ar
rived. She brings the following particulars
of the fight in Mobile bay: Four monitors
went in first, followed by the Brooklyn,
Hartford, MetacOmet and others. The prin-
cipal fighting was with the ram Tennessee,
inside the bay. The Tennessee struck the
Hartford and stove in her side. She will
go North for repairs. The rebel gunboat
Selma was sunk by the Metacomet. The
Chickasaw and Winnebago chased two
others, the Gaines and Morgan, into Navy
Cove and they are blockaded without a
chance of escape. The dispatch boat Phil
lipre was burned at sea while the fight was
in progress. Farragut will push right OH
for Mobile.
By the steamer Creole, from New Or
leans on the 9TH, we learn that reports
through rebels sources say that Beaure-
gard, with 10000 men, has been sent to At
lanta. All Texas west of Brownsville in
cluded, has been evacuated with the excep-
tion of Brazos, small force being left there
under Col. Day. The rebels here are
greatly excited over the Mobils news.
The Mobile News of the 18th ult. boasts
of the hanging of two colored soldiers, and
cotton speculator near Vicksburg by
Whittaker's guerrillas.
Gently exchanged have arrived.
New Orleans papers of the 7th have par
ticulars of Farragut's movements. The
Hartford, with the Admiral on board,
steamed up to Fort Morgan, delivering
such succession of broadsides as effectual-
ly silenced all the rebel guns and water
batteries.
The monitors at the same time engaged
the rebel ram Tennessee, the latter failing
in several attempts to run down our ves-
sells; finally our monitors closed with her
and she was rammed by the Monongahela
Lackawanna and Hartford, and the Hart
ford started to run her down. when the
Metocomet, also on the same errand, col
llded with the Hartford the Tennessee rar
out white flag.
She lost but three men, and Farragut is
probably using her as one of his fleet, she
not being greatly damaged. The Tecumseh
was sunk by torpedo. 1t is thought she
can be raised. Only ten of her crew are
known to be saved. The gunboat Oneida
had shell explode in her boiler, scalding
thirty of her men. Buchanan is not ex-
pected to live; 1t. Comstock, commanding
the rebel gunboat Selma, was killed, to-
gether with nearly his entire crew.
Loss on the Hartford, % killed, 43 wound J.
ed. Our loss was 243 killed and wounded
including Captain Cravens and the crew OF
the Tecumseh. Fort. Powell was blown up
on the night of the 9th. Troops had land
ed and were at the forts on Friday night
Loss of the rebels unknown. All our fleet

CHOLERA INFANTUM.-T The mortality
among children from this fearful complaint
is terrible during the warm weather. In
all large cities fully one-third Of the deaths
during the summer occurs among children
under two years of age. Physicians, as a
class, do not seem to understand the nature
of the complaint, and hence they fail to
cure it. The success of DR.. Aborn in this
complaint has been almost unparalleled.
Patients visited at their residences, or med
icine furnished at the Medical and Surgical

Beauregard i'm Command at At
Ianta-The Intention of NIcCaus-
land Frustrated.

New YORK, Aug. 14.-The Herald's cor.
respondent near Martinsburg, under date
of the 18th, says a deserter reports that
Gen. Lee and the rebel Secretary of WaI
recently visited Atlanta, and that Beaure-
gard was left in command. A small force
of rebels to-day entered Martinsburg and
drove out onr scouts and refugee citizens
They took off all the merchandise and
liquors they found. Rebel regiments are
becoming so small that large numbers have
been consolidated.
The Herald's Cumberland, Md, cores
pondent of the 18th, says the rebels have
all left that section except McNeill's guer-
rillas and robbers. 1t is aScertained that
McCausland intended to burn the town OF
Cumberland, destroy the railroad its entire
length to the Ohio river, and thence turn
into the Kanawha valley, but his defeat by
Kelley prevented all this.
The Herald's Harrisburg correspondence
of the 11th, says one of our columns en-
countered a body of rebels moving from
Martinsburg. A brisk fight ensned and
the rebels were whipped and driven. A
doubtful report says we have force south
of the rebels.

New Yorls UsemS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-The Commercial
says: The workingmen of this city are
getting up petition to the President to
postpone the draft from the 9th OF Septem-
Der in order to give the city further time to
fill its quota.
The Commercial says there is a probable
ity of a compromise between the printers
and their employers being effected to-day.
The Posts Washington special says 1t Is
reported that the rebel officers recently ex-
changed at Charleston were never placed
under rebel fire by Gen. Foster, and that a
large number of newly arrived Federal Off
GERS have been under Fosters fire in
Charleston. The rebel General JEFF. Thomp-
son says the rebel officers did not leave the
Federal gunboat till they were exchanged.

Washington special of the 18th, says the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs is inform
ed by Gov. Evans, of Colorado, that he is
satisfied nearly all the Indian tribes of the
plains are combined in war against the

this country ever had, extending from Tex

turned to Fort Leavenworth. The Indian
war is temporarily quelled; but informa-
tion derived from reliable sources strongly
indicate concerted action among the various
tribes, and the most extensive Indian war
yet waged. White men, supposed to be
rebel emissaries, have been among the In
dians, distributing gold and urging them to
rise against the whites, telling them the
South would protect them and let them
have the West for themselves.

TO SUBSCRIBERS AND FRIENDS.

From and after Monday, July IL, 1864,
we shall charge for THE DAILY ONO
STATESMAN, and for The TRI-WEEKLY
STATESMAN, the prices below specified. We
have not before made any material advance
in our subscription rates. Within two
years, the cost of publishing a daily news
paper in Columbus has increased nearly
one hundred per cent. The price of white
paper has advanced to twenty cents per
pound, and is still going up-being more
than double what it used to sell for; the
price of type-setting is more than fifty per
cent. higher than it was; press work is one
hundred per cent. higher; rents and fuel
have doubled, and every other item which
enters into the cost of publication has ad-
vanced in like proportion. To meet THESE
increased expenses, we raised the price of
advertising as much as practicable; but the
late sudden advance in the cost of white pa
per leaves no alternative but an advance of
subscription rates.
1t will be seen that the new scale of prices.
is an increase of but twenty-five per cent.
on the old rates, while the cost of publica-
ton and of living has increased nearly four
times that amount. We purpose to return
to the old standard of rates, whenever the
price OF "print' and labor shall fall enough
to render it possible. We believe that no
fair-minded reader will object to the new
rates, nor consider them more than right
and necessarv undpr the circumstances

The ARMY WoRM.-This pest to farmers
made its appearance in some parts of this
county during this season, and did consid-
cradle damage in many fields. The insect
is short lived, and gave up the ghost during
the last week. In one field belonging to
Captain Shattuck, the worms marched in
battallions of billions, and destroyed O
swath of oats about two hundred feet
square. They then struck potato patch
but were prevented from destroying it by
the sudden death which, in single day,
overcame them and put an end to their raw
ages. This is the first instance we have
heard of the presence in force of this de-
structive worm in the State.

LINING GUTTERs.-In various cities the
people are throwing lime into the cutters
where they are most filthy and offensive
This is a good and wise precaution against
disease. Where there are water works a
cheaper and better means of reaching the
same object is to keep the cutters clean by
strong current of water, but as we have
no such institution in. Columbus although
plenty of filthy cutters, lime should be free
ly used in season like the present, when
the streets are not visited by those heavy
rains which are usually our most efficient
scavengers.

DON'T You Do IT.-Don't throw water

easy to cast them over the curb into the

dividual treading upon them and slipping
down, breaking his limbs, or otherwise in
juring himself by the fall. Whenever any
one feels inclined to throw these things up
on the pavement, let him ask himself how
he would like any one to set trap for him
whereby he would break his leg.

, From New Orleans.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-The Herald's New
Orleans correspondent of the 9th, says
Major Pennington, commanding the 1lth
New York cavalry opposite Donaldsons-
vile, was attacked on the 9th, but succeeded
in cutting his way through with slight loss,
except forty to sixty sick men. At last ac-
counts he had concentrated his escaping
force at another point near Doyals.
The gunboat expedition up Grand Lake
on the 26th ult., was a success. 1t destroy
ed large number of flat boats and captur-
cd many small arms and accoutrements, and
next day destroyed two saw mills and two
boat loads of valuable lumber.
