The Johnston amina.
ton OF Witnesses Con cludsd.

icP''iti ttittftin 10 tne Dlspdtcn.I
DANvILLE. VA, September 13.-The ex-
animation OF witnesses in the case OF John
ii. Johnston was concluded this evening,
and Tomorrow is set for the pleading. The
conflicting testimony, which has been re-
ferred to, became more apparent to-day,
both in the disagreement amongst wit
nesses for defence and in differences be-
tween statements Of witnesses for defence
and for prosecution.
Witnesses for defence differ in stating
what passed between Johnston and Hatch
or previous to the shooting, and witnesses
Tor prosecution state that certain parties
claiming TO know what passed could not
have known, and generally that nobody
was near when the shooting was done.
The statement Of some Of the witnesses
that Hatcher attempted to draw his pistol
is reconciled with IIatcher's statement that
ne never thought Of his pistol by the infer
cnce that Hatcher's attempt to put his knife
in his brecches-pOcket was thought to DC
an attempt to draw his pistol.
Johnston seems composed, and some
times smiles when any pleasantly occurs,
and sometimes reads a paper. Notwith-
standing the disagreements amongst his
own witnesses and their other difficulties,
there is a strong current Of testimony in his
favor, and the impression is that he will be
sent on for indictment for manslaughtcr
and not for murder, and will probably be
DISCHARGED.

being done by the several aid associations
to alleviate misery and give food, medicine,
and attention to the sick and destitute. All
associations work tremendously and are in
accord with the Board OF Health. \
number Of our absent merchants and
several persons in Mobile, New York, anu
New Orleans have responded to our ap-
neal FOR aid. The great number OF unac-
clirnatcd persons here has doubtless added
to the fury OF the disease. Most OF those
are laboring men whose work has been
suspended. and they are in needy circllm-
stances. and for this reason there II greater
need OF nurses OF experience, these people
knowing nothing as TO the care required

and artillery, and passed over our
heads, they being Disconnected by
the sudden attack. With daylight
the enemy's fire improved and became like
hail-stones. Many men fell, but not for
second did our advance stop. Our cover
ing parties, lying down, fired, while those
in front pressed on. General Graham's
brigade worked with gallantry. Nothing
could surpass their cheer, which RESENT
bled wild yell, and could be heard above
the din Of the musketry as they charged up
the steep slopes Of the trenches. The
Egyptians were terrOr-stricken. Many OF
them hid In the corners OF the works,
while others fled at their utmost speed,
throwing everything from them. Our
work, however. was not yet ended. The
large inner redoubt on Arabs left, well
manned and armed, still remained intact,
but British troops were not to be denied.
With another brilliant rush they were
among the enemy, bayonetting the gun
ners at their guns and capturing the heavy
artillery. Thus we captured the key OF
the position. In fifteen minutes from the
first rush we were its masters. The rattle
OF the cnemy's musketry died away, while
our men fOrsook the bayonet and picked
off any rebels who still showed fight in
their retreat. On the south the enemy
stood a few minutes longer perhaps
quarter OF an hour; but the appearance OF
our cavalry on their right flank soon
FASTENED their movements. In few min
utes one rushing stream OF fugitives was
making for Zagazig, flying out OF all
their entertainments. A little later General
Macpherson's Indian brigade burst upon
the flying foe from the south, and the rout
was complete. The artillery coming up at
Il gallon, unlimbered, and sent their shot
and she'll after the rebels, adding to the
confusion. The cavalry had got right
round the enemy's tanks before the fight
began. My previous estimate OF the num-
Der Of rebels captured was under rather
than over the mark. The Egyptian losses
and the number Of guns captured are also
greater than was first mentioned. IL is be-
lcvod that the bulk Of the rebel force will
he captured, and the dcath-blOw has been
given to Arab. All the work was done
bv our troops i'm the first line OF attack.
The principal Notifications had been car
ried by the time the Guards and the Fourth
brigade came uD.
