Davis. [From the Charleston Mercury, Sept. 5.) Although carefully covered over with the mantle of secresy by Congress, enough has been disclosed by stern realities to show the total incompetency of President Davis to gev- ern the affairs of the Confederacy. He has lost the confidence of both the army and the people, and if anelection to-morrow was to come off for the Presidency, we believe that he would not get the vote of a single State in the Confed- eracy. Yet if the Provisional Congress had done its duty—if the present Congress would do its duty, President Davis could readily be driven into a course of efficiency. He is Presi- dent of the Confederate States for six years. The Constitution has not been proved to be in- adequate to rectify his imbecilities. He can be controlled and.directed, as the King of Great Britain is. The Siege of Charleston. {From the Richmond Sentinel, Sept. 8.] From the interesting editorial correspondence of the Savannah Republican we extract the following in reference to the condition of our Charleston defenses and the nrosress of the siege: . " There has been some difference of opinion, even among the military men as regards the exact location of the battery from which these missiles are thrown to so great a distance. It ‘was at first supposed to be on Morris Island, near the fort of Craig’s Hill, butit has definite- ly been ascertained to be located on a raft in the marsh, about a mile this side of Morris Is- land, and five miles distant trom the city. Some say that its movements are regulated by the tide, and that it is floated off during the day so as to avoid observation and & concentrated fire from our James Island batteries. This may be so, and if true, will account for | their choosing the night for tneir operations. ‘There are as yet but two guns in position on the battery, and the strain to the metal in firing atso long a range, will account for the slow- ness of the fire and the brief duration. It is estimated that, exclusive of the 300 killed, wounded and missing in the first battle, on the south end of the island, July 10, we have suffered casualties up to the present time to the number of 150 killed and 200 wounded. While the enemy keep up so constant a fire from the island, they are also daily strengthen- ing their position. They have now, probably, fifty gums and mortars in position between Craig's Hill and Battery Wagner, and a strong work is progressing within four hundred yards of the latter. It will be asked, what are our men doing that such things areallowed? With one well acquainted with the ‘situation’ the answer is readily given. It is all explained by the fact that the enemy have a navy, while we have none. This has been the secret of nearly all their successes in the present war. When our men go to their guns in Wagner, to stop these pro- ce ‘dings, they straightway encounter a direct fire from the numerous land batteries in front and an enfilading fire from the ships. This work is insufficient to stand the combined attack; indeed, it is impossible for men te stand at the guns, and hence the work of the enemy goes on without effective interruption.

SS REBEL NEWS FROM CHARLESTON. eee genoa The Richmond Enquirer of Friday, 11th inst, is at band, from which we make the following extracts: TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. An Emeute in Raleigh. RALgeH, Sept. 10.—Some soldiers of Ben- ning’e brigade, apparently led by officers, mobbed the Siandard newspaper office last night, about 10 o’clock, destroying furniture tnd throwing the type into the street. They also destroyed a lot of State printing, &c. Gov. Vance reached the spot after the work of destruction wss nearly over and addressed the crowd, begging them to desist and rebuked them for the act; telling them that no such ex- ample had been set in Lincoln’s dominions. The soldiers cheered Gov. Vance, and dis- persed at 1 o’clock and left the city. The building and power-press of the office were not damaged, and Mr. Holden will resume the pauls of the Standard in a few days. This morning about seven o’clock some one tung the town bell, and a crowd of citizens gathered and rushed upon the State Journal office, turning the contents into the streets, breaking up furniture, &c. The Mayor was sent for, but arrived too late to stop the mob. | Gov. Vance was sent for and made a splendid speech. The crowd dispersed and allis quiet now. No further deeds of violence need be feared from the citizens if the soldiers are re- strained, but any further such demonstrations by them will cause another outbreak, and there is no telling where it will end. From Charleston. CHARLESTON, Sept. 10.—There was no firing last night except from our batteries. ‘Theenemy is working bard on Morris Island. The prisoners taken in the assault en Sam- ter were landed in jail last night. All quiet this morning. Affairs in Texas, Mositz, Sept. 9.—Thirty-two of Lincoin’s Eoujsiana overseers are at Huntsville, to be sentto Eagle Pass for their liberation. The country in that region is a desert. Foolish reports spread through Texas like a wildfire. It is reported that President Davis aud General Bragg are both dead, and that General Lee has been superceded. General! Taylor is in great repute. Pendleton has been elected Governor by a small majority. Military maiters are quiet. The people and troops are prepared to repel invasion. The Indians on the frontier are troublesome. An aversge of fourteen vessels are constantly off Galveston blockading the harbor. z Great confidence is felt in General Magru- jer. The crops in Texas are unprecedently large, ‘wheat and corn e! nee are made tosupply the Western Bank of the Mississippi for two years to come if nota grain is sown in the interval. Cotton picking commenced in August, about 150,000 bales of the old crops are now in the State. Proclama ym from Gov. Vance, of North ‘@) [From the Richmond Enquirer, 11th instant.] Gov. Vance, of North Carolina, has issued a proclamation called forth by the Iawless and treasonable menaces made at some of the so- called peace meetings held in the Old North State. Gov. Vance warns the people of the dangerous consequences of a persistence in their course; beseeches them to abstain from any further resistance to the enforcement of the conscription act and the law for the collection of taxes. He reminds them of their duties as good citizens, and exhorts them to abandon the miserable demonstrations they are making of resistance to laws which must and will be en- forced. The £nquirer has an editorial on the Union Tepulse in attempting to storm Sumter, in which it says: «The midnight attack upon the ruined fort, in thirty barges with muffled oars—and the rebel batteries all lying asleep—the surprise, the escalade, and then the thunder of one grand final salute as the sacred stars and stripes mounted victoriously into the midnight sky, announcing to all the ends of the earth that the grand American drama was finished; all this would certainly have been a triumph of scenic effect. But one single circumstance spoiled all—our batteries were not asleep; and so instead of the superb midnight tableauz arranged by the tal- ented manager, the gray of morning dawned upon the crippled and shattered remnant of that barge flotilla crawling back to their ships filled with mangled and grouning wretches— the Confederate banner still flying over the much-longed tor walls; and worst of all, that old article of theatrical property, the Anderson flag, borne off to be hung up for a trophy in some church of the proud city of Secession. The article concludes as follows: Meanwhile Sumter stands defiant as ever and with an aureola of glory more radiantthan ever encircling its immortal ruins. No wonder the Yankees are so eager to get possession of those shivered walls; they have more reasons for this than those connected with mere scenic effect. In fact they wish to make it pay the ex- penses of its own destruction. To batter it down has cost them far more, counting mere ammunition, than ever it cost to build. Seven thousand five hundred and fifty- one shots have been fired at the fort. It has been struck 5,631 times. Of these shots 3,595 struck the outer walls, and 2,159 struck inside. The old walls have swallowed all these enor- mous and costly missiles, and digested them, and stands—“‘like Teneriffe or Atlas.” The Enquirer says of the Legislature of Vir- ginta, now in session at Richmond, that their principal purpose in meeting is to mould the militia into fighting form, to cure the cur- rency, and cut out certain corruptions which have become chronic. RESTING NEWS FROM DOWN ce RIVER pi ARRIVAL OF THE MOUNT WASHINGTON. ase ab The steamer Mount Washington (formerly the Mount Vernon, of the Potomac mail line,) ‘arrived on Saturday night from Hampton Roads, bringing up Rear Admiral Lée, of the North Atlantic Squadron, and three of thé guns recently captured by the Minnesota near Fort Fisher, in the vicinity of Wilmington, N. c. The guns are all of English manufacture, one being ® Whitmore gun. They are splendid pieces of ordnance, and have been apparently used but & few weeks. At the time of this capture a large quantity of cloth was taken, it having been run through the blockade in a steamer, which was destroyed by the rebels. On the trip up the river on Saturday after- noon, Admiral Lee presented to Sam’l Woods, aseaman on the Mount Washington, the medal of honor which the Department ordered to be presented him for his gallantry in the affair on Nansemond river, when he fought his gun with the most determined courage, and when ashipmate was knocked overboard by a shell, plunged in the water and rescued him, at the peril of his own life; and who, also, was very attentive tothe wounded. Admiral Lee was very happy in his remarks, and held up the conduct of the recipient to the officers and men, who had been assembled to witness the presentation, as worthy of emulation. Woods received the medal with a full heart, and was only able to ejaculate the words “God bless our country.” The Mount Washington will, we understand, receive some slight repairs, after which she ‘will be used as Admiral Lee’s flag-ship. The following are her officers: Acting Master H. H. Hayne, well known on the Potomac asa pilot; Acting Master’s Mate G. B. Griffin, form- erly a seaman on this boat, but who has been promoted for good conduct; Second Assistant Engineers 8S. Smith and Joseph Cully, and Third Assistant Joseph Jamison. - + ‘We learn from down the river that on one night last week two boat loads of rebels came out ot Cone river and went to St. "s Is. gindh where they threatened the women and a for a few hours carried on in a pretty manner, threatening to burn the houses, &c., of the inhabitants; but word was sent by A cance ‘o our gunbuats, and the Dra- gon s! own to the Island, when the re- bels skedaddied before we could get a shot at them. Their object was no doubt to plunder the people, but they covld haye got but little, as every thing is very scarce there, Refugees, with some rebel desertions, are coming off from the Peninsula, known as the Nortbern Neck, (between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers,) nightly; on an average about ten, making their escape every night. A FALSE ALARM. On Saturday last a rumor came in from the direction of Greenwich, (Fauquier county, Va..) that a considerable rebel force was ap- proaching Manassas Junction from that di- rection. The force there was consequently immediately so strengthened ac to haye made the expected assailants pay dearly for their temerity, had they ventured such a raid; which they however did not do.
