Secretary S., with singular clearness and force of statement, proceeds to review the op- | erations of the war on sea and land since the | date of his previous circular, showing the | steady progress of the Union arms, and says, | in conclusion : On referring te the map it will be seen that since the breaking out of the insurrection the Government has extended its former sway over and through a region of two hundred thousand square miles, an area as large as Austria or France, or the peninsula of Spain and Portugal. The insurgents lost in the ya- rious field and siege operations of the monthof | July, which I have described, one-third of their whole ferces. Jefferson Davis, the leader of the sedition, since proclaimed a levy of all the able- bodied men within his military lines. This, if carried into effect, will exhaust the whole ma- | terial of which soldiers can be made. The insurgents estimate the total number of con- | ripts thus to be gained at from 70,000 to | 95,000. Our armies now confront the insurgents atall points with superior numbers. A draft i for 300,000 more is in progress to replace those whose terms of service have expired, and to | fill up the wasted ranks of our veteran regi- ments ; and the people, just 50 fastas the evi- denee of the necessity for that measure is received and.digested, submit with cheerful- ness tothe ascertained demands. Our armies everywhere are well equipped, abundantly | fd, and supplied with all the means of trans. | portation. The soldiers of two years’ service bear them- selves as velerans, and show greater steadiness | Moultrie. in every conflict. The men, accustomed tothe | camp, and hardened by exercise and expe- | rience, make marches which would have been | impossible in the beginning of the contest. | The nation is becoming tamiliar with arms, and easily takes on the habits of war. Large yol- untary enlistments continually augment our military force. All supplies are abundantly | and cheaply purchased within our lines. The country shows no signs of. exhaustion of | money, material or men. A requisition for | 6,210 remount horses was filled and the animals dispatched from Washington all in four days. Our Ioan is purchased at par by our citizens, atthe average rate of $1,200,000 daily. Gold sells, in our market, at $1.23 to $1.28, while in the insurrectionary region it commands 1,200 | per cent. premium. Every insurgent port is either blockaded, | besieged, or occupied by the national forces. The field of the projected Confederacy is divided by the Mississippi. All the fortifica- tions on its banks are in our hands, and its flood is patrolled by the national fleet. Missouri, Kentucky, Deleware, Maryland— all slave States—support the Federal Gov- erument. Missouri has already in Convention ordained the gradual abolition of slavery, to take effect at the expiration of seven years. Four-fitths of Tennessee, two-thirds of Vir- ginia, the coasts and sounds of Norih Carolina, half perp? i, and half of Louisiana, with all their large c » part of the coast of Ala- bama, and the whole sea coast of Georgia and | and South Carolina, and noinconsiderable part of the coast of Florida, are held by the United j States. The insurgents, with theslaves whom | they yet hold in defiance of the President's Procia: 1) are now crowded into the cen- | tral and southern portions of Virginia, North | Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Ala- bama, while the slaveholding insur- | gents beyond the Mississippi are cut off trom the main force.

Diggs, arrived this morning from Hilton Head, on the 12th inst., at 8 o’clock a. m. Capt. Diggs reports the arrival of the relief boat Cosmopolitan from Morris Island on Bei- day evening, at which time the white flag was flying over the shattered walls of Fort Moul- trie, and our forces had captured and held half of James Island. The rebels had only two batteries on the {sland. Two Monitors were lying between Forts Sumter and Moultrie. Capt.

IMPORTANT FROM THE WEST. —_ Tus DRAFT SUSPENDED IN OHIO, ge REBEL DESERTERS COMING IN IN DROVES —_— THE REBELS IN FORCE AT LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS. a Se CINCINNATI, Sept. 15.—Orders were received from Columbus yesterday indefinitely post- poning the draft in this city. The Gazette’s Leavenworth dispatch say General Blunt, at the last accounts, was at. Fort Gibson, preparing to start for Fort Scott In h‘s recent campaign he marched two hure dred and fifty miles in nine days—fought two tattles—and cleared from the rebels one hun- dred thousand square miles ef territory. Refugees from the rebel conscription are coming into Blunt’s lines by hundreds. Their | sufferings are represented as indescribable. More than one hundred Union men have been shot and hung at Fort Smith since the re- bellion began. Supply trains are running regularly from Fort Smith to Fort Blunt. Fort Smith has been the headquarters for operation during the winter. A special to the Commercial, dated Browns- ville, Arkansas, 2d inst., says Gen. Steele ar- rived here last evening. His force will come up to-day. The rebels are in strong position four miles this side of Little Rock, witha force estimated at 17,000 men and thirty to forty guns. Kirby Smith has gone to Red River, leaving Price in command. The rebel General Marmaduke was wound- edin the leg in the recent+m agement at Bayou Meteor. ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. The Movement of Meade's Army—The Ad- vance to the Rapidan—A Battle Immi- nent. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE Potomac, Sept. 14.—Gen. Pleasanton has advanced to the Rapidan. The rebels were in position with infantry, artillery and cavalry, to resist our crossing. Our casualties yesterday were three killed and forty wounded. Among the latter was Gen. Custer, but not seriously. He com- manded a brigade in Gen. Kilpatrick’s divis- ion, and was wounded while gallantly charg- ing a battery of the enemy, in which charge three guns were captured. Accounts from the Army of the Potomac to- day, represent our troops in possession of Cul- peper Court House, with few or no armed reb- els in that vicinity. Appearances justify the belief that Lee is determined to act on the de- fensive, a large portion of his army, including Longstreet’s corps, having been sent to Ten- nessee and elsewhere, It is ascertained that Ewell’s and A. P. Hill’s corps are at Orange Court House, and that Lee is there in person, having recently returned from Richmond. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart is still in command of the rebel cavalry. THE MAINE ELECTION.

The good news from Charleston (to be found in our telegraphic column) shows that most important steps towards the reduction of that city have been made by the Union forces. Of the fact that Fort Moultrie has been si- lenced there can be little doubt, as it seems to bave suffered severely previously from our cannonade; but it is a matter of ‘question if the rebels have raised the white flag of sur- render, as there seems no spscial cause why they should do so, and they are not apt to sur- render their fortifications before they are com- pelled to do so. A REPORTED FIGHT ON THE RAP. IDAN. As we goto prees,.there are rumors afloat of sharp fighting near the Rzepidan, be- tween our cayalry and mounted infantry and the rebels, and that the enemy has been dis- lodged and driven towards Gordonsville. Nothing, however, official confirmatory of the report has been promulged up to this hour. It seems by no means unlikely, that our cayairy,in pushing their reconnoissances to teel out the rebel positions, have by this time scared up more or less of a fight with the rebel force holding or picketing the line of the Ra- | pidan. COMMITTED TO THE OLD CAPITOL. The following commitments tothe Old Capi- tol were made to-day by order of Proyost Marshal Todd: Lewis Carney, Co. B, 49th Virginia; Peter Morris, Thos.

H., charged with being rebels and rebel sympathizers. All of the above were sent in by Lieut. Win- ship, Provost Marshal of Alexaudria. WASHINGTON ARSENAL, Capt. Fenton has been ordered tothe com- mand of Washington Arsenal, in place of Wol. Ramsey. This is an excellent appointment; and while regret will be felt in parting with an officer held inso much esteem as Col. Ram- sey, & successor more satisfactory than Capt.

REBEL TROUBLES ON THE MISSISSIPPI. The Richmond Ezaminer of Friday last says: “There is nothing pleasing from this side of the Mississippi. Senator Brown addressed the people at Brandon, on the 25th ult., reproach- ing them for their timidity, and attempting to rouse them. There is undoubtedly much de- moralization in the Cis-Mississippi. The river is crowded with transports, that inight be de- stroyed by a single battery, bu: the selfish in- tereete of pruperty holders, WRO fear retalia- tion, secure the transit of the enemy and repress these demonstrations of attack which we had expected would have, ere this, been made on the banks of the Mississippi.” UNIONISTS IN JACKSON COUNTY, ALABAMA. The Huntsyille Confederate denounces “a company of traitors” (Unionists) in Jackson county, Alabama. The Confederate says: “It consists of about $2 men, under a man named Latham, who was a lieutenant in a company belonging to the 50tk Alabama regi- ment, Col. Toltart, and deserted shortly after the battle of Murfreesbo’, went home and or- ganized the company of which he is now cap- tain. Heis ason of Jonathan Latham, who was &@ member of the Legislature from Jack- son county at the beginning of the war, was regarded with suspicion then, and has shown his disloyalty since. He has one or more other sons in the same category. We have just learned that this band of traitors are levying war, adhering to the enemy, and giving aid and comfort in several ways.” BETTER DIE THAN BE CONQUERED.” The Richmond, Whig has an editorial article under the head of “Better Die than be Con- quered,” which reveals a consciousness that, with all their boastings, the rebels feel their cause is lost. The Whig threatens that in the last resort the rebels will “take to the woods and wilderness, like savages, and there fight against hunger and cold” as long as they may be able. _ The Richmond Enquirer of the 12th has a jeremiad upon the peace meetings of North Carolina, and upon the fact.of North Carolina soldiers deserting, and complains that defection is not confined to obscure parties, but that per. sons of prominence are coneerned in it, and that a candidate for the Confederate Congress has come out on the reconstruction platform in the third congressional districc of North Caro- lina. The Richmond Sentinel of Sept. 12th has the following dispatches: From the Southwest. ATLANTA, Sept. 10.—A special dispatch to the Memphis Appeal, dated Jackson, 7th, says: The latest news from Vicksburg states that the up- per batteries are manned by negroes. The Yankees are building new fortifications, and all edifices which interfere with the new plans are demolished. Mounted negroes have murdered many citi- zens on Deer Creek. * * * Grart is reported going to the Southwest. The Federal trans-Mississippi expedition has all been arrested. Gen. Smith has shipped them at Mouroe, La. f A Victory in Tennessee—Capture of Sev- erai Hundred Prisoners. {From the Ricl mond Dispatch, of 11th.] LYNcHBURG, Sept. 10.—On Tuesday morn- ing a fight occurred at Telferd’s Station, on the East Tennes:ee and Virginia Railroad, 33 miles irom Brisicl and 93 from Knoxville. The enemy was driven back six miles to Lime- stone. There our forces came up with them, and after a short engagement captured several hundred Yankees and about one hundred East Tenneesce tories, who had gotten into a block- house, from which they were delivering a pretty heavy fire on our troops. Our casualties were slight. The loss of the eremy is not knowr, as their dead and wounded were carried off to the rear in a train on the railroad.4 Two hundred and fifty of the prisoners ar- rived here this evening. The rumored capture of Crowley, Mont- gomery and Nelson, prove unfounded. They all escaped, and have come through into our lines. The Richmond papers of the 12th make no mention of affairs at Charleston on the previous day, when, according tothe despatches from Fortress Monroe to-day, the white flag was flying at Moultrie, and the Union troops were in possession of @ considerable potion of James Island. s@-The Louisville Journal says: ‘Wehave reason to know that, according to the present programme, Mobite is to be speedily attacked or at least invested.

LOCAL NEWS. FIGHT WITH RUNAWAY SLAVES, FIVE OF THEM WOUNDED. On Sunday morning last, as a party of thirty fugitive slaves were making their way to this city from their master’s homes in Anne Arun- del and Calvert counties, through Centreville, Prince George’s county, the patrol, composed of citizens of Prince George’s attempted to stop them, and the slaves resisted, some of them being armed with old muskets, which they attempted to use, but ineffectually, as the pieces did not go off. The patrollers fired in among the tugitives, wounding five of them, two seriously, and other parties coming up, arrested the most of them, and the prisoners were taken in charge by their owners, who were in pursuit and overtook them at the point named. Five of the slaves were placed in jail at Marlboro’, One of them received a load of fine shot in his face, totally destroying both of his eyes. ao eee Tuk First DistRicT REGIMENT ON A SCOUT. On Saturday evening last a detachment of 50 members of the First District regiment, under command ot Capt. Robert Boyd and Lieut. Stiles, (acting under orders of Gen. Heintzle- man,) started down the Potomac in a tugboat and protected by & gunboat, on a scout. About midnight on Saturday they arrived at Col- chester, and seeing a light near by proceeded to land; and reached the shore after wading through water up to the waist. They discovered that guerrillas had been in the neighborhood, but had left about two hours previous to the arrival of the boats. The Dis- trict boys, however, marched a distance into the country in search of the guerrillas, but did not succeed in finding them, although a sacked sutler wagon and evidences of the robbery of a citizen showed that they had been about. The District ban ey therefore returned to their boats and preceeded on down the river, landing at different times at all sorts of out-of- the-way places, and on Sunday morning landed at Occoquan, where they captured one guerrilla. They left Occoquan on Sanday morning, and proceeded to Dumfries, whence they marched 51x miles after guerrillas. Coming up with the guerrillas, a skirmish ensued, and the District boys captured three of them, and caused a gen- eral skedaddle. Capt. Boyd pursued, and suc- ceeded in capturing two others of the gang, who had taken retuge up the chimney of an old house. The expedition returned With their risoners to Alexandria yesterday morning. ‘here was no one injured on our side.

Hungerford, and Peter Morris, privates of the 15th Georgia: Lewis Carney, (sergeant) and J. W. Walters, private of the 49th Virginia, (rebel) and David E.
