Further Encouraging Reports. We make tho following extracts from the | correspondence of Mr. Fulton to the Baltimore | American. ‘Tbe Monitors are armed almoct exclusively | ‘with the 15-inch Dahigren gun, of the smooth- | bore pattern. These guns can be loaded and zed twice whilst a rifle gun is being loaded once, and hence they have some advantage on this score. The rifled guns in the works of General Gilmore are all within breaching dis- tance of the walls of Sumter. The mooring buoys placed im the ship chaunel tor the Moni- tors are all within a distance of Sumter that | will enable the colid shot to reach its walls with their initial velocity. The boring power of the rifie gun and the breaching power of the Sarit therefore befalls tested in cot mene range, w fore tested in this fight, | @nd both will doubtlecs do their work war end each sustain their reputation on land and shore A 15-inch smooth bore, which depends on weight rather than velocity, could not be ueed for 6! purposes on account of its great | ‘weight, whilst the lightness of tho rifled guns ‘must continue to make them moet efficient for =< operations. ies iF Scouts report enemy as engaged in ' building @ second line of defences inside of Fat nen jfeegene loi =e fall of both ‘eguer miter is r Se a strong possibility, and that after the Old Flag floats | over Sumter s long siege may be neceseary to | @ rednee the city. i Admiral bas or, S mest ef- ficient naval picket.

The fali of regarded as certain. There by the loyal North. I had a fine view of Fort Sumter this morn- ing about 6 o'clock, when the atmos: is clearer than at any other hour of day. With a powerful glass I conld count the guns and even the number of sand 3 between each embrasure onthe parapet. It was the cleareat view of the Fortreas I have yet had and I examined it very carefully in all ils arte. ® I had previously heard that the casemates were closed, and I have now no doubt of the | fact, 80 far as the second tier are concerned. } The lower tier was not visible from the point at which we lay, the view being from the shore of Morris Island acroes Fort Wagner, which concealed them. As tothe appe tier, they are | undoubiedly most effectually closed, being | filled ont with masonry, making a smooth faceon the wall. Deeerters say that there is fifteen teet colidsand closely packed inside of all the cacemates, and that the parapet guns | alone wall be used in the coming conflict. The | reason they give for this is that the walls were so thoroughiy shattered by the April attack | that they were in danger ot falling trom the | concussion of the guns, and it wa3 not deemed | safe to use them any more. (This paragraph shpuld be taken cum grano ses, a8 Mr. Fulton, in his quarrel with Admi- ral Dupont, has committed himself obatinately to the theory that Sumter was badly damaged in the April assault, while itis doubtful if we really knocked a dozen bricks from its front at that time.—Eb. STAB.} At noon to-day two or three shells were fired from Sumter towards our camps on Morris Isiand !each. The fuses, however, were too short, and the shell exploded bigh up in the air before traveling half the distance From | Sumter to our nearest camp the distanco is fall three miles and a half, and the gun from which they throw these shells is said to be one of those trom the Keokuk. They also threw some shell in the same direction from Battery Gregg, but | they all fell short. ‘The fact that the batteries of Gen. Gilmore are less than one-third of the distance from Sumter than the point to which the shells ot Sumier reach will give a better idea of the close proximity of our batteries to Sumter than an | exact statement of the distance. Our guns, too, ranging from 150 to 300-pound rifles, are more powerful than any of those possessed by the retels. With these immense batteries pouring their shot and shell into the parapet of Sumter, andsevcn monitors and the Ironsides within 500 yards pouring their 500-pounders into its lower ciusemates, the punishment will uon- doubtedly be more than bricks and mortar can siand. The impression nowis that the rebels are hopeless of Sumter and Morris Island, and are lending all their energies to the fortification of James Ieland andthe strengthening of their inner line of defence. Orr Sumter, Aug. 10.—I just learn that Gilmore has notified Admiral Dabigren that his works will be all completed, his guns commence the active work of the assault on Thursday next, the 13th inst. Only three ot | the Monitors, with the Ironsides, are now here, but a steamer was dispatched to Port Royal last night for the four Monitors still at that point, with metructions to join the fleet here on Tuerday, the lth inst. They were sent there to have their bottoms cleaned by a party of divers, who have been sent here by the Navy Department for that purpose. We msy, therefore, expect the grand assault to commence on the 13th. It will undoubtedly be one of the greatest land and naval battles that history has recorded, when the heavy | character of the artillery is considered, The | rebels have at least three hundred guns in po- | Sition, which they will be enabled to bring to ; bear porn us during the assault, whilst we, including the wooden vessels and the land batteries, will have less than two hundred We will, however, throw the greatest weight of metal, and be able to carry our Monitors up to within five hundred yards of Fort Sumter. The whole iron-clad fleet will ve here to- morrow, and they have been joined by five mortar schooners, and all the wooden gunbo:its will take an active part in the fight. NAVAL BATTERY. This battery was completed Iast night, and is the most advanced in the line of works on shore. It meunts the two immense Whitworth rifled guns captured from the enemy on board the steamer Priacess Royal, mtended for Sum- ter, one three-hundred pound Parrot, and one two-houndred pounder of the same description. It will be commanded by Captain Foxhall A. Parker, of the Wabash, With 359 seamen from | the Wabash and Canandaigua. It will be supported also by about 700 marines from the squaeron, under command of Capt. Reynolds ‘wo of our Monitors cruise up every night in the vicinity of Sumter. On Saturday night the our for the rebel steamers that run to Cummings’ ‘int. The whole Monitor fleet will be in readiness for the attack on Thursday, and there is a cer- tainty of the taking of Sumter, Battery Gregg and Fort Wagner. regarded as sufficient. There is no doubtenter- tained on this subject in the fleet or on shore. | The day for doubting is passed. Two mortar schooners from Washington arrived here this evening. Three more will be here from Port Royal to-morrow. They will | add to the terrible few @’enfer on Thursday, and make Charleston tremble. We all have strong hopes of being in Charles- ton by Sunday next. Thut the Old Flag will Wave over the ruins of Sumter by that time you may regard asa fixed fact. OPERATIONS ON SUNDAY NIGHT. Alter the cannonading of yesterday mornjnz all was quiet up to sundown, when the R “bel batteries opened with considerable energy and threw shot and shell to all parts of the com- pass. This continued throughout most of the night, and some vigorous blows were given in Teturn from our batteries. At daylight this morning, a8 & consequence of the night's work, a@ large number of Rebels with ladders and Topes were observed working on the land side of Sumter.

This in Montgomery county, Ma- Tyland, on or about the 2#th day of June, 1963." To which charge and specifications the ac- cused, Haze] B. Cashell, a citizen of the State of Maryland, pleaded “not guilty.” PINDING, The court, having maturely considered the evidence adduced, finds the accused, Hazel B. Cashel, a citizen of the State ot Maryland, as follows: Of the first specification, “Guilty.” Qf the second specification, “Guilty.” Of the charge, “Guilty.” SENTENCE. “The conrt finds that although the accused answered certain questions put by rebels, which, ina strict literal sense, conveyed intelli- gence to the enemy, it has not appeared in evi- dence that the information was volunteered, nor does the court perceive that such inteili- gence was given with that criminal design which the law contemplates as the animus of a breach of the S7th article of war; and the court therefore affixes no penalty to the offense beyond an admenition that in the future he will be more on his guard in answering inquiries addressed to him by an enemy. F “And it is further directed that the finding and judgment of the court in this case be pub- lished in three of the newspapers published in the city of Washington.” War DepartTMENT, July 29, 1563. II. The findings of the court upon the charge @nd specifications are approved. The “sen. tence,’ as it is termed, is disapproved. The charge and specification of which the accused was found guilty necessarily imported crimi- nality under the 57th article of war, and the decliration of the court that “it has not ap- peared inevidence that the information was volunteered, nor does the court perceive that such intelligence was given with that criminal design which tha law contemplates as the ani- | mus of & breach of the57th article of war,” was unwarranted by the law and the testi- mony. It appears from the evidence in the record. that the accused had at pasture un his farm, in Montgomery county, Maryland, some five hundred head of cattle, which, with some five hundred others, all ths property of the United States, were driven away on the morning of the 2Sth of June for their protection from the rebel cavalry, then approaching. The rebels, riding up soon thereafter, demanded, in the presence of several person:, including witness (Thomas Rabbitt) und the accused, in what direction the cattle had gone. Rabbitt, prac- ticing & ruse which war justifies, pointed them in a dilection opposite the trueone. One of them returned, however, in a few minutes from the parsuit, and repeated the demand, when the accused unhesitatingly indicated to him the road which the cattle had taken, and, inaddition, stated their number, and that they were without any guard except the herdsmen | ordinarily attending them—astatemeut which could have had but one object. The informa- tion thus communicated was most important to the enemy, and it was given voluntarily, without threat or persuasion, or the exercige of any undue influence whatever. When to this prompt and complete disclosure made to the enemy is added the disloyal reputation and sympathies of the accused, as proved by the evidence, no coubt can be entertained as fo the animus of hisconduct. It sufficiently «ppears that the accused was expecting rrival of the rebels, and, in refer- ring to thy ig, said there were two per. sons in ie—naming the United States Provost Zfarshal and the Postmaster, “who ought tobe, and he guessed they would be, captured.’ His guilt under the 57th article of and that guilt was aggravated by the trust which had been reposed in him by the Govern- loyally betrayed. Yet the “judgment” of the court wis that there was present, in the action of the accus¢d, no such criminal designs as the law contemplates as a breach of the 57th article o1 war;” aud therefore the court contents itself with admonishing him that “in fature he shall be more on his guard in answering inquiries addre:sed to him by an enemy,” and this is the penalty provided for an offense which, under the Articles of War, is punishable with death. Fer such action by a military court, in presence of cuch ilagraat crime, there is believed to be o precedent. ‘he court also directs that their “judgment” shall be published in three of the newspapers of | the city of Washington. This publication will | not be sanctioned, since it would b- in effect a | declaration to all disloyal men that they may, | at will, communicate intelligence to the public | I enemy without fear of any other penalty than Although the accused has been relieved of all re- section of the act to suppress insurrection, &c., tion tor this offense may be proceeded with, he It is ordered that this court be at once dis- solved, and that another court-martial be or- ¥ cases now pending. It is turther ordered that this review be pub- lished in the Army and Navy Gazette, as an expreseion of the strong disapproval with Which the action of this court is regarded by he Department, Epwin M.

No less than five fights took place near the Soldiers’ Rest and several times they attempted to override the guard, but through theefiorts of Lient. Hendley, all rows were put downand thering- leaders arrested and placed in the Guard. house. One fight took place between a white and black soldier, caused by the black soldier as- serting that he was a better man than the white one, and some licks passed, when the black soldier knocked the cavairyman down. The black soldier was arrested and put in the Guardhouse. Since the Fire Zouaves left here, Washing- ton has seen mo such cet of rowdies ae tl crowd of cavalrymen. The disorderly cases not enly occurred in- side theenclosure but among the restaurants in the vicinity. Several went into the ‘‘Uon- necticut” and asked for liquor, which was re. fused, and some words parsed between the pro- rietor, Mr.Conway. An infantryman eaid that r. O. was right, an strack at him, cuttin, Mc, and another one struck Mr. C., but on the ap- pearance of the guard they made off. At sev- eral other places disturbances occurred on the proprietors refusing to sell them liqnor, but nothing seriousoccurred.

One t took place be- tween a party of this regiment and some of Scott's 900, which was originated by the reg- ulars taunting the others with not having seen service on the froat; and in the melee several were badly used, one man having his head mueh broised and others receiving more or less blows from the favorite instrument—the butt of a pistol. The police of thesecond precinctsoon quelled this affair, but did not make any ar- rests, as hardly had they pat down one fight before they were called to attend another. eS SSS Fire.—The alarm of fire to-day, about ops o’clock, was caused by the burning of the build» ing in the Government square at the corner of the canal and Sixth street, which was used as acarpenter shop and store-house for garden tools, hower-pots,&c. The building, including a large quantity of tools and the work for a new hot-house eighty feet long, was totally de- stroyed, involving a8 loss of about &?,000. The Gremen were qeeky. on the ground, and the Perseverence, nklinand Metropolitan went into service. It was without doubt the work of an ircendlary, as no tire was in the house. OssTRUCTED STERET CRossING.—A corres- pondent complains that the street crossing on Seventh street, opposite the Post Office, is ob- & racted by the number of truit stands, wheel- borrows, dry goods boxes, &c., always standing there, making it difficult to get upon the side- walk. This is one of the most public places in the city. Cars and vehicles are continually passing, and the lives and limbs of pedestrians are endangered in crossing, on account of the c:Mficulty experienced in getting across the street and upon the sidewalk. hose whose cuty it is todo so should look after this atonce, - +e Inquzet.—This morning, Ceroner Wood- wood held an inquest On the body of 2 soldier, found on Second street north, between Sixth and Seventh streets, and a verdict that death was from causes unknown was rendered. The deceased was & man of about thirty years of age; five feet six or seven inches in height; black hair and whiskers; and was dressed in infantry uniform. A watch and some small articles were found on his person, and some memorandum, from which it was supposed that his name was Wm. Dutton. Se ae ae SmaLt Pox Corpse.—Yesterday morning word was left at the Second Precinct station that a box was lying in the colored burial ground on the Bladensburg road, which con- tained the corpse of a white man, and Sergeant Johnson went out investigate the affair, when he found that it was the corpse ofa colored man who had died of the small pox, which had been lett by come parties unburied, and a handker- chief having been placed on the face, some who observed it from a distance, took it to be the corpse of a white person. ——— Goop SuBsTiTuTEes.—Among thesubstitutes accepted for drafted men are several who were veterans in the European armies. Soma were in the British army in India; others were in the Pruseian service in its severest conflicts. Men who faced each other as opponents on the bioody fields of Europe stand shoulder to shoulder beneath the “Stars and Stripes’ for i.e perpetuation of the ‘home of the brave.” There is room for the promotion of men who prove themselves brave and worthy inthe con- flicts for the American Union. eee A HogRiBL_e Sicut.—Yesterday Coroner Woodward was sent for by the officers of Fort Ethan Allen to hold an inquest on the body of acoldier found above Chain Bridge. ‘I'he body had evidently been in the water for some time, and the flesh from the arms and legs had been washed from the bones, while the body was in @n advanced state of decomposiiion. The body being outeide the county, the coroner did not hold an inquest. Se ATTACK AT THE Park.— Yesterday afternoon Amos Shanks and Edward Shehe went into the house ot Louis Essenger, near the Park, and became very disorderly, asking for the women, &c., and they were requested toleave, when one of them knocked Mr. Essinger down with a stone, and the other drew a pistol, threatening to clear the house. Officers Rolfe and Poole arrested them, and took them before Justice Rowland, who sent them to the Cen- tral Guardhouse. ae (see PRoressor ALEX.
