Confederate Account of the Attack by eur Beats upon Sumter. ForrTrEs® MonRoR, Sept. 12.—The flag-of- truce steamer arrived from City Point this evening. The Richmond Enquirer, of the 11th instant, Says the office, type and presses of the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, edited by Wm. Holden, were destroyed by a party of Georgia soldiers. Hol- den was in Petersburg at the time. In turn for this outrage, the citizens and friends of the Standard destroyed the office of the State Journal. Governor Vance reached the spot after the destruction was nearly com- plete, and begged the crowd to desist, rebuking them tor the act, telling them that no sucieexs ample had been set in Limtoln’s dominion. 6s FROM CHARLESTON. CHARLESTON, Sept. 9.—To General Cooper :— Last night thirty of the enemy’s launches at- tacked Fort Sumter. Preparations had been made for theevent. Ata concerted signal ali the batteries bearing on Sumter, aided by one gunboat, were thrown out. The enemy was repulsed, leaving one hundred and thirteen prisoners, thirteen officers included, besides four boats and three colors. G.T. BEAUREGARD, [SECOND DIBPATCH.] The enemy is silent to-day. Gen. Beaure- gard refused to have any communication with the Yankee flag of truce untilan explanation is given of their firing on our truce-boats. We took the original flag of Fort Sumter, which Majcr Anderson was compelled to low- er, And which Dahlgren had hoped to replace. CHARLESTON, Sept, 10.—No firing last night, excepting from our teries. The enemy is working hard on Morris Island. All quiet this morning. FROM GEORGIA. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. *.—Our cavalry fronts the enemy near Athens. Nothing from Chatta- nooga io. day. Extensive preparations are being made by the ‘Yankees to send an expedition against Magru- der and Taylor in Louisiana. THE OVATION AT KROXVILLE. NeEw York, Sept. 13.—A special telegram to the Tribune, dated Cincinnati, confirms the ac- count of the ovation the troops received at Knoxville, on the occupation by the Federal troops. Thetown was decorated with flags, which had been hidden for two or three years. Gen. Burnside addressed a large meeting the day alter the occupation. he people congraulated themselves on their deliverance from rebel oppression. The day after Foster's arrival a procession of women, whose husbands are in the Union service, came in from the country. It was nearly a mile long. ‘Valuable machine shops and foundries were, found in Knoxville; also, two millions pounds of salt, a large quantity of wheat, many thous- ands of bags. The prisoners captured at Cumberland Gap were the zd North Carolina, Ist Virginia, Ist Georgia and several companies of artillery. They surrendered unconditionally: The Geor- gia regiment was 4i0 streng, and was captured ones before by General Burnside on Roanoke sland. On the night of the7th, two companies of our trocps stole through the rebel pickets and burned the mill that has supplied the rebels with meal, in the very sight of the rebel camp. Burnside was to return to Knoxville on the 16th, where he would remain till the decision of the War Department in regard to his resig- nation was made. A few small bodies of rebels are still in the State, near the Virginia line. The salpetre works which the rebels worked are now within our lines. Ready communication is had with Rosecrans. All of Burnside’s troops marched over two hundred and fifty and a portion three hundred miles. They averaged over twenty miles a duy, over difficult roads. In the whole cam- paign but one casualty occurred. Of sickness there is so little that the surgeon in charge of the hospital at Knoxville has asked to berelieved for want of work. From Chattanooga. CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 12.—No details of Gen. Negley’s engagementat Dug Gap have come in, but irom all that can be gathered the casualties are light. Negley has retired three miles to the foot ot l.cokout Mountain. Baira’s division was also engaged at Dug Guy, icur miles north of Lafayette, where the main column of Bragg’s army was at the time of the engagement. It is thought that Bragg ¥ eartul of losing control over the line of retreat to Rome, retreating slowly to avoid a repetition of the scenes ef Tullahoma and to }revent straggling. Nevertheless, large nom- bits of stragglers come in daily. Three hun- dred of the 19th Tennessee cavairy came in ina body. At least 1,000 deserters have arrived here since the evacuation, and a large number ére said to be on Missionary Ridge. Crittenden is reported to have occupied La- fayette to-day, and his army is again coneen- trated. Indian War on the Upper Missouri.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL ASSAULT BY OUR BOATS UPON FORT SUMTER. ae THE BOMBARDMENT OF FORT MOULTRIE. — By the arrival at Fortress Monroe on the 12th of the U.S. steamship Massachusetts, we have news from Charleston up to ‘Wednesday eve- ning last. The monitor Weehawken, which had ground- ed at Cumming’s Point, was got off safe on Tuesday, although she had been exposed to a terrific fire, the rebel batteries having been con- centrated upon her. Whilst the Weehawken Was aground she kept up & spirited fire on the rebel batteries, in which she was assisted by several other moni- tors. One of the Weehawken’s fifteen-inch shells penetrated a magazine at Fort Moultrie, which blew up with a tremendous explosion, the concussion from which was felt even on board the vessels lying in the lower harbor. An immense cloud of smoke hang over the fort af- ver the explosion, and the impression was that much damage must have been done inside the fort, and perhaps a large number of lives lost, as the fire ot Moultrie visibly slackened after the disaster. On Tuesday Admiral Dahlgren organized an areaulting party to endeavor to take possession of the ruins of Sumter and drive outor captare the rebel garrison which was still kept there. ‘The expedition was exclusively naval and con- sisted of about four hundred sailors and ma- rines, under command of Commander Stevens, of the monitor Patapsco. The launches from the different vessels of the squadrons with the men detailed assembled near the flag-ship soon after dark, and at a given signal the boats started quietly and expeditiously on their dan- gerous service. The boats reached Sumter about eleven o’clock and effected a landing un- der the walls. It was then found that the dif- ficulties of the attack were almost insuperable. The wall of the fort for from six to ten feet in height was still standing, and the efforts to scale this exposed the men, with scarcely an opportunity of retaliating, to the fire of the gar- rison. Hand grenades were thrown down upon them, and from the heavy fire of musketry it was evident that the garrison of the fort was more considerable in point of numbers than had been anticipated. Disregarding the danger of injuring their own men in the fort, the rebel batteries on Sullivan’s Island also opened tire on our fleet boats, and succeeded in damaging orsinkingseyeral. The expedition was bravely led, and the men did not flinch from the work, but success was eyi- idently impossible, and the signal of recall was given. The retreat was effected in good order, and the loss was less severe than might haye been expected. Forty-eight were left under or on the walls of the fort, eitheras killed, wounded or prisoners. k Besides ‘he fire of shell from the encircling batteries, @ rebel steamer, probably one of the iron-clads, fired canister and shrapnel into the boats with terrible execution. The boats that got off were fortunate enough. The chances ‘Were against them. ‘ Our officers and men were taken into Fort Sumter, where they now are, and they report that they are treated very well by the rebels. The expedition was unsuccessful because the boats did not land at the proper time. Each one was so anxious te get in first that the line ‘was broken, and the three boats struck together. Another despatch states that the expedition failed from the fact that some of the boats grounded upon the shoals. The operations of the navy are now princi- pally directed towards Fort Moultrie, which on Tuesday and Wednesday was subjected to the fiercest and most continuous fire which the iron-clad fleet has yet delivered. The Iron- sides has been veep / efficient in this service. On Tuesday she laid about one thons- and yards from the fort and discharged broad- side after broadside into it with great effect. In three hours she expended over five hun- dred shell, an example of rapid firing that is said to be without parallel. The effect of her fire and thatof the Monitors upon Moultrie was very damaging. The shell from the Iron- sides ret fire to the village of Moultrieville, and aure than one half of the houses were de- stroyed. When the Massachusetts left the bombard- ment of the Sullivan’s Island torts and batte- rits had ceased for the day, but it was under- stood it would be resumed next day. The officers of the Massachusetis knew little of General Gilmore's operations on land, ex- cept that our flag was waving over Wagner and Gregg, and that our forces had complete Possession of allthat portion of Morris Isiand. f not taken by the navy, the ruins of Fort Sumter will be rendered untenable as soon as General Gilmore brings his rei Soe) up to Cummings’ Point. The health o: th army and navy is reported good, and the etubborm defence of the Rebels but increases the deter- mination that Charleston shall fall. PROGRESS OF THE S1208. We have additional particulars, by the Arago, of the progress of the bombardment of Fort Moultrie by General Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren. The firing had continued all day Tuesday, the 8th, and up ns o'clock on ‘Wednesday, the 9th instant, with great tary, and the injuries to Fort Moultrie were fq character to indicate®that the reductionof thé fortress would be effected with \compardiive- ease. 5 The bombardment, which at Gaylight, was kept up dui destruc! resented as terrific. potitively known, there b minde of persons who witnessed thé explosion, that even if the magazine was not the main opt of the fort, which is by no Clear, bavoc created Insiae was such as te. lessen its capacity for resistance. * On Wednesday morning the sumed. Two or three of Gen. Gilmore's bat- teries, which were in range of Fort Moultrie, assisted in the cannonade, butonly —_ of the monitor fleet renewed the conflict. The Iron- sides, which has performed great service throughout, steamed towards Moultrie, and was firing rapidly when the Arago left. The injuries to the walls of the fort were im- portant. Observations were made late in the Sfternoon of Wedneeday by passengers in the Arago, who were on Morris Island, and it could be seen through the hazy atmosphere that the pape walls were broken. T woof the ad been dismounted. This fort, it was fully shown, would bear only a smail amount of capnonading compared with Sumter. Its rei duction will immediately follow the plantin; of batteri¢és at Cumming’s Poin:—a work wi! will soon be eter pres ‘The firing from a)] the rebel forts and batteries which were in range of Morris Island, upon our forces there, and which began on the morn- ing after the evacuation by Beauregard’s troops, has since been continuous and severe. itis evidently the intention to prevent our troops from occupying the forts or from con- eiructing any on theend of Morris Island nearest Charleston, Moultrie and other fortifications, for the object, as will be seen of rendering Gen. Gilmore’s success a barrer one. Notwithstanding the diversion of the fre of Fort Moultrie by the Ironsides and one of the Monitors, the guns of that fort gvere still = Ta‘ing on Morris Island, and the rebels to intermit their attentions to the point of land on which they 80 long withstood the attack of our for. es. Our ‘o:ces do not occupy in force the captur- ed Rebel fortifications, ‘ides the filth which ex:sts, the Rebels made certain arrangements for the destruction of our men when they should enter the works, and these matters must of course be attended to previous seovcepetion. It is represented, however, that Rebel works will be of little use to Gen. Gilmore in his future operations. He can use the ogg ed which he is already doing, in spite of fire on bis position; and when the new batteries in progress are completed, scarcely & patie inthe hxrbor but will be co! by his guns, while Charleston will be within easy shelling geet id immediate fall of the ot, however, . or a mode of removing obstractions has been adopted Gen. Gilmore—namely, employn.entof the Rebel prisoners in this da when it is attempted. It is justly suppo:ed that the Rebels know quite as well, if not be:- ter, how to handle their own infernai machines than do the Union mep, and their risks may poesibly be lees. Our soldiers and sailors are Fitbusiasticallyin favor of the new arrange- ment. . a7 An someeeee large crop of tobacco has been grown in York county, Pa., this year.
