THE NEWS

After their failure to pass the Yanke,
distractions in Trcnt's reach on Tues
day, our gunboats returned up the rive,
to their anchorage off Graveyard bend
Last night We received unofficial info,ma
ton that they had gone down again. &c
firing was heard in the direction of Dutch
gap yesterday, though this may be due
to the fact tina. the wind was blowing in
a direction to carry the sound from us.
No lives were lost by the blowing up Of
the Drewry, the crew having abandoned
her soon after she grounded. We may
expect TO hear fully from the fleet to day.
Whilst our fleet was in motion on
Tuesday, General Pickett made active
demonstrations against the enemy in bis
front, and, it is said, captured portion
Of their picket line.
We received no Northern papers yes
terday, most probably in consequence of
our naval operations.
The only intelligence received from The
South yesterday was the announcement
from General Hardee that the enemy
were making no demons trations on the
salkehatchie. TO 20 to BrarchviIlc.
Sherman must cross the Big and Little
Salkehatchie rivers, which flow together
and form the Combahce few miles north
of Pocotaligo.
MIR. Blair, peace missionary, left the
city yesterday morning for Grants lines
by flag of-truce boat. Nothing is known
of what passed between him and the
President during their frequent inter
views. From what dropped from Mr..
Blair in conversation with his friends
here, some have inferred that he proposed
some such visionary scheme as recon-
struction, the South to retain it's peculiar
institution untouched, and the Yankees
to pay for all the negroes they had sto-,
len. Any speculaticns upon his propo-
sitions, if he made any, are very idle.
lie will unbosom himself to Horace
Greeley, and everything connected with
his mission here win be duly published
in the New York Tribune. Let us have
patience till that tirne.
There has been, as yet, no one APP
pointed as successor to Mr.. Seldom
nntil'such. time as one shall be appointed, |
MIR. Seddoa's resignation will not be re-
ccived.
1t is said, and we believe correctly, |
that. Colonel Northrop, Comlnissary- Ge- |
neral, has resigned.
A bin was introduced into the Senate,
yesterday, providing for the appointment
OF commissary general, with the rank
Of brigadier-general.
The Senate, yesterday, by a vote of
tiitcensto three, passed, over the veto or
the President, the bill to increase the
number of acting midshipmen in the
navy. Il
In secret session, on Tuesday, the Sc
nate passed, with some amendments, the
House bill for the reduction and redclnp.
ton OF the currency. The bill will bel
further modified in the House.

Messenger, Of August 8, has the fol-
lowing:
The excavations at Pompeii are
going on with an activity, stimulated
by the important discoveries made
almost at every step, and the quanti
ties of gold end silver found, which
more than suffice to cover the cost of
the works. Near the Temple of Juno,
of which IAN. account was recently
given, has just been brought to Light, a
house no doubt; belonging to some
millionaire of the time, as the furniture
is of ivory, bronze, and marble. The
couches of the triclimum, or dining
room, are especially of extreme rich
ness. The flooring consists Of an
immense mosaic, well preserved in
parts, and of which the centre repre-.
ssnts table laid out for q grand
dinner. In the middle, on a large
dish, may be seen a splendid pea
cock, with its tail spread out, and
placed back to back with another bird
also of elegant plumage. Around
them are arranged. Holsters, one of
which holds blue egg in its claws,
second On oyster, which appears to
be fricaseed, as it is open, and cover
ed with herbs; third,s q rat .foyci,
and a fourth, small vase filed with
fried sHa.,ol.oppers. Next comeo--~
circle of dishes of fish, interspersed
with others Of partridges, hares, and
squirrels, which all have their heads
placed between their fore feet. Then
comes a row OF sausages of all forms,
supported by oneaof eggs, oysters,
and olives, which, in its turn is sur-
rounded by double circle ofpeaches.
cherries, melons and other fruits and
vegetables. The walls of the triclimum
are covered with fresco paintings of
birds, fruits, flowers, game, and fish :
of all kinds, the whole inserspersed
with drawings, which lend charm to
the whole not easy to describe" On
table of rare wood, carved and in
laid with gold, marble, and agate, and
lapls lazuli, were found amphora still
containing wine, and some gobless Of
onyx.
