‘THE EVENING STAR. REBEL ACCOUNTS FROM CHARLES. TON. The Charleston Mercury says thatduring the early portion of ye: ‘day (Monday) morning all wes comparatively quiet on Morvis Island. About eleven o’ciock the lund batteries epeued fire on Fort Wagner, and the Monitors and the lroneides again approached and epened a se- vere fire. This continued until two o'clock, when the, bombardment becime turious, the reports beigg Leard in quite as rapid succes- sion ason Saturday. The farious cannonade | Jasted for about one hour anda haif, FortSum- | ter and Battery Wagner replying slowly. Fire was aleo opened from # new battery on James Island. kort Sumter got the range of the Ironsides, and a litle betore four she withdrew. The Monitors also hauled off, and forthe remainder of the eyening the firing was at long and irreg- ular intervals, coming chiefly from the enemy's jJand batieries. Some shots were fired at Fort Johnson and at the Shell Point battery. The caruaities in Battery Wagner yesterdsy were tour killed and eleven wounded. A mortar fire was kept upon Battery Wag- ner every few minutes during the night from Ihe batiery near Graham's house. On Sunday morning th: enemy sent in a flag of truce to ask permission to bury their dead, whose bodies lay thickly strewn in the trench und elsewhere in froutof our works. As itwas supposed that the chief object of this request on the part of the Yankee commander was to gain an opportunity to reconnoiter our posi- tion, the proposition was declined, and the duty ot burying the dead devolved upon our own men, and on Sunday no firing occurred. ‘The Courier says the body of Col. Shaw, of the negro Sith Massachusetts regiment, was also sent fur during Sunday, but he had been buried in a pit, under a layer of two of his own dead negroes. Headquarters Department South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, Charleston, 8. July i>, 1863.— W hile the Commanding Gene: regrets that the enemy have succeeded in effecting a janding on Morris Island, he acknowledges with isfaction the conduct of the troops in their ve and prolonged resistance against a force largely their superior in number, and he is specially gratified by the epirit and suc- cess with which the garrison of Battery Wag- ner and the troops under Col. Graham repelled the assaults on that fortification, as it gives the assurance that he can rely upon the con- ductof both officers and men to check the pro- gress of the enemy. By command of Gen. BEAUREGARD. Tuomas JonvAN, Chiet of Staff. ‘The Charleston Courier says: The bombard- ment on Saturday, which lasted from morning Uli night, was as terrific as incessant, as fierce as it is possible for one to conceive. The thun- der of their guns, the booming of the shells, which bursted in myriads in and around Bat- tery Wagner. led us tosuppese thatthe slangh- ter must be immense; and those least prone to give way to despondent feelings looked on with biznched cheeks, but compressed lips, and feared the worst—ior to those who witnessed the bombardment from houses and the various points of observation, it seemed impossible 20rany work putup of mortal man to stand such a@ terrible and concentrated fire and pass unscathed through such an ordeal. But God be praised, it did so. Four men killed and fourteen wounded, and the battery uninjured, was the result ofthe bembardment, as severe as they can possibly subject the battery to at any ume. jut in the hour of victory—in the day of re- Joicing, with spirits lightened and hopes elated not without just cause, we must beware of ex- tremes, and must take care that our feelings do not betray our reason. Charleston may yet be saved; but the danger is by no means over yet; the enemy, toiled, repulsed, beaten back, though he bas been, is still clamoring at our gates— he still retains a foothold on Morris Island, whence, protected as he is by his gunboats, it is almost impossible to dislodge him. He has come here determined to take Charleston, if possitle, he has come (as 3 Yankee officer, re- cently taken prisoner Observed,) expecting to eet with a desperate resistance, expecting to eed to fight as they have neyer fought yet, expecting to have to suffer Berdeuipes 7at de i lese termined to endure all, and to capture C! ton if it is ossible to do so.” Is it reasonable to guppose that he will be contented aftera few repr'ses to abandon the game he has co set his heart on winning, t0re- tire from a position so threatening to us as long as he reiains it as a base for future oper- ations? Jt is foolish to suppose so for an in- stant. Charleston may be saved, must be sayed, will be saved; but much work is still before us—more blood must be spilt, more lives must be lost, more battles “fought and won,” ere the “clond that lowers apon our house’ «shall be scattered and dispelled by the wel- come rays of the returning sun.

THE BALTIMORE aND On10 RarLroap.— The whole of the line of the Baltimore and Chio Railroad is now, it has been ascertained, entirely free from the presence of any Confed- erate troops, and occupied by the Federal torees, under Gen. Kelley. Besides the de- struction of the several bridges on the road, it is known that about seven miles of the track, between Opequon creek and Welliown, has been torn up. Welltown is near North moun- tain. The officers of the road have already made arrangements to rebuild the track with the quickest possible dispatch, and it is ex- pected t the road will be reopened within thirty day ee ee For the Holidays.

Drafted men become soldiers in the service j of the United Stztes by the fact of their names | having been drawn in the draft. The notifica- | tion, ee; ved upon them by the Provost Marsha], is merely an announcement of the fact, and an order for them to report for duty, at a desig- nated time and place. II. The following opinion of the Hon. William Whiting, Solicitor ot the War Department, is published for the information ot all concerned: | “When a | Suance of the Enrollment act of March 3, 1843, | notice of such draft must be served within ten days ther after, by a written or printed notice, to be served on him, personally, or by leaving acopy at hislast place of residence, Tee quiring him to appear at a designated rendez- vous to report forduty Any person failing to report for duty after notice LEFT AT HIS LAST PLACE OF RESIDENCE, or served on him person- | ally, without furnishinga substitute or paying the 2300, is pronounced by law to be a ‘ter; he may be arrested and held to trial by court- martial, and SENTENCED TO DEATH. “If a person atter being drafted, and before | receiving noticeydeserts, notice may still be | served by leaving itat his last place of resi- dence, and if he does not appear in accordance | with the notice, orfurnish the substitute, or pay | the #300, he will be in law a deserter and must be treated accordingly. There is no way or | manner in which a person, once ‘enrolled,’ can | escape his public duties, and when drafted, whether present or absent, whether he changes his residence or absconds, the rights of the United States against him are secured, and it is only by performance of his duty to the country, that he will escape liability to be treated as a criminal.” WILLIAM WHITING, Solicitor of the War Department.

If the Board shall have de- { cided that the claimant is liable to serve, he has the right, after euch decision against him, to pay his commutation money, or to furnish his substitnte, within such extended time as may | be fixed by the order of the Board of Enroll- ment for his appearance for duty.
