They are all men who have received two or more wounds—some of them severe, and none of them are men who would now pass «be surgeon's inspection for active duty in the rid. Nevertheless, they are already one of éa+ most valuable corps in the service, from their experience, soldierly deportment and cor- sect habits. The guard doing duty around the War Department is a detachment of this corps. COMMITTED TO THE OLD CAPITOL. | Wa. J.

Lowell, commanding the2d Mass. cavalry, returned here from an extensive reconnoissance through Loudon and Fairfax. He started on Saturday last with 200 men, and was subdse- quently joined by 300 more, ordered up to sup- port him in case he should meet a considerable force under Moseby or White, the latter of whom is known to have (#4) men on his rolls, though since Lee’s return from Maryland large numbers of them are absenting themselves from his camps on various pretexts White himself has been engaged for the past foriight hunting them and conscripts up, accompanied by but 30 or 10 men. Col. Lovell divided his force into three or four parties and scoured the country from this point to Lewinsville, Leesburg, Aldie, Mid- dieburg, Coe’s Mill, through the Bull Run passes, &c. He tailed to hear of more than a hundred guerillas in one body who had been encamped near Middleburg. On his approach to their camp there they were warned by some citizen or scout, aud barely had time to scaiter ere he got up to their position, where he took ten or twelve prisoners, who were too lite in endeavoring to escape. He heard of small bodies of them elsewhere, but his reconnois- sance demonstrated that their numbers had always been greatly exaggerated, as they were simply prowling around for plunder, in gangs of two or three. White's actual available torve (hough 60 strong on paper) is not more than 250 in all, IMPORTANT FROM THE ARMY THE c UMBERLAND. Sse AMOY EMENT IN PROGRESS.

FORT SUMTER BREACHED. —_—___—»—s THE OBSTRUCTIONS, 4 Pees HARBOR E: an ——— The following is from the N. Y. Times cor- respondent: Saiurpay, August 15.—Last evening, one of our 200-pounders was opened on Fort Sum- ter. A few shots were fired trom the same gun last Thursday, for the purpose of getting the range. Altogether, seven indentures have been made on the southeast side of the fort.. For ac- curacy of aim and damage inflicted, the prac- | | tice of the 200-pounder could not be excelled Every shot after the three firstshots fired strack the fort or exploded directly over it. One pro- jectile struck a recently closed up embrasure, tearing it completely open from top to bottom. The only guns to be seen on Sumter are those en barbetie. The rebels did not give a singh our fire. At p.m. the firing fi the heavy gun had ceased. If out of filteen shots fired from the 200- pounder seven ofthem made seven | deep indentures in the fort, what have we to | expect when the entire battery, including the | guns from the navai fleet, is turned upon it? The Herald's correspondent says: Earlier in the day, while a rebelsteamer was | lying in fancied security behind the northerly wall ot Sumter, discharging sandbags with which to strengthen the imperilled work, a shot from this same heavy gun sped over the tort and struck the parapet upon the opposite side, hurling a vast mass of bricks and debris upon the unsuspecting craft. The vessel, which was like an old fashioned ferryboat in shape, was digabled by the shock, har smoke | stack being carried away and her steam ciest exploding. ‘The rebs have recently inaugurated a series of bombardments upon our nocturnal work- ing parties, slightly interfering with our oper- ations at the extreme front. In consequence, our own guns have maintained against the enemy’s strongholds 4 fire nightly increasing in vigor and rapidity Until quite recently the foe has been content to explode his shells over the beads ofour men in the trenches, but on the night of the 10th an eight-inch gun in Fort Wagner opened on us with asharp and galling fire of grape and canister. For several hours there were expectations that a sortie from the rebel lines was intended, and that their design was first to clear the way for such a moye- ment by mowing down onr forces with their furious volleys of grape. The troops were or- dered out and every preparation made to re- ceive them, but, wisely for themselves. the rebels reframed from any assault in force. Mr. Fulton, of the Baltimore American, says that Ensign Porter, ot the New Ironsides, made amostimportantexamination of the revel line of obstructions across the harbor of Charleston between Sumter and Moulirie, Mr. Fulton writes: The cannonading on Wednesday afternoon was light, but during its progress General Gil- more tested one of his siege guns on the walls of Sumter, It was one of his smallest guns, and the fir-t ball strack on the top of the par- apet, raising a cloud of dust and sand over the whole structure, and making the bricks fly in alldirections. Several more solid shot were fired at the fort, three of which struck the rear wall, near the parapet, aad made holes through. This is regarded as settling the qu-stion that Sumter will fall, (fa 150-pounder Parrot will produce such aresulton Sumter, we may ex- | pect a general smashing to take place when 300-pound and 500-pound shot and shell are rained upon it and against its walls. The side of Sumter facing the batteries of Gen. Gilmore is what is called the rear or land wall. The topo feet with sand bags, & number of heavy guns protrude. the sol.d wall below the edge that the three apertures were made by the few practice shots fired. On Thursday evening, alter there had been a Bencral cessation of the shelling, one of the guns of Gen Gihnore’s siege batteries, a 200- pound Parrott, opened on Sumter, and fired several shot with most decided effect. Three It was in shot struck on the parapet, the first one scat- | tering scores of sand bags through the air, the second makin, the bricks Hy in a similar man- ner, and the third one throwing @ gun off of the parapet into the parade groand of the fort. ‘This is the ouly gun that has yet been opened, and itis not one of the guns from which the Most serviceable work is anticipated.

EXPERIMENT FOR CLEANING THE CANAL.— A partial trial of Mr. Thomas’ Spise for clean- ing the canal took place yesterday afternoon. The gates erected at Twelfth street bridge were closed early in the afternoon, and it was in- tended not to let the water out until the hour of the lowest tide—five o’clock—but at four o'clock, or a little after, one ot the gate fasten- | Ings gave way, and the whole head of water | therefore rushed on, carrying with it a quan- tity of mud and filth in the immediate vicinity of the gates. The deposit carried off, however, was evidently only the loose surface mud, and not the sand which is the main deposit in the canal. Nor is any of either mud or sand miss- ing, We regret to say, at any appreciable dis- tance from the gates. Another experiment will, however, be made this evening a lite betore six o'clock. Mr. Thomas is sanguine of the success of his plan, and thinks that all the mad now eeen at low tide will be carried off in a few days, and that the whole canal will be cle: aned in about amonth. We pray Amen to that! —— UNFORTUNATE AND SICK.—A young woman, named Cela Sanborn, who had yesterday ar- rived in the city from New York, in search of her husband, who was in the army, but of whom she has not heard for some time, applied Jast night at the Fourth Ward station for lodg- ing, being unable to find the hotel at which she stopped when on a former visit to this city. She stated that on the cars between Baltimore nd Philadelphia she was seized with conyul- sions, (to which she is subject.) and was robbed ol $30 or $10. While at the station house last night she was attacked with convulsions, at intervals, from nine o'clock until eight this morning. She Bays she has friends in the city, but cannot recollect the name of the hotel where she formerly stopped. She has been removed to more comfortable quarters, but her triends can tind her by applying at the Fourth Ward station.
