The Charles.ou Courier of Saturday last here has been no material change since our lastreport. The fire from Gadberry Hill has been slow but steady. Out cf seventy-four shots fired at Fort Sumter yesterday, forty- jour struck, twenty-four went over, and six fell siurt. No casualties are reported, The enemy, it is supposed, .is endeavouring to widen Ube breach ou the south wall. A number ot the enemy's shelis were also fired at Battery , Simpkins and Fort Johnson, but did no dam- age. Uur works are progressing steadily, not- | withstanding the enemy s fire, and those who have had the pleasure of witnessing them are enthusiistic in their praise of the engineers en- gaged in superiutendiug the constraction of new fortifications. C Forts Moulthie and Johnson, and. batteries Cheves and Simpkins. kept up a regalar fire ome +xceilent shooting, causing fre- quent reueat. of the Yankee working parties on Battery Waguer. A dispatch trom Major O. Bland ommanding artillery on James Island. to Capt.

No guns, however, can be ob- served ‘ls yet mouuted on the latter battery.

FALLS CHUROH, AND MUNSON’S HILL, Mm © About ten o'clock last night a party of mount- ed guerrillas appeared at the house and store of Wm. Paine, at Bailey’s Cross Roads, and rapped:at the doog, the family having retired. Milton Paine, ason of Wm. Paine, opened the window, when thee of the gang, with pistols drawn, told him to let them in and “handover the greenbacks.”” On being admitted they robbed him of $90 in. money, and took all his best clothing. They then went up stairs where Mr. Paine was sleeping, and atter making some search, went | aw®y, happily for Mr. Paine. failing to notice | his gold watch and asmall box near his bed containing $300 in money. The same party or others visited Fall's Church last night, it is reported, and amongst other depredationsjrobbed a man named Irwin | of £100, At Munson’s Hill they captured Dan’! Mun- son. we hear, but he got away from them du- ring the night. They showed no little boldness in their de- predations, as Bailey’s Cross Roads is within three miles of Fort Richardson; and other prints visited by them are also in close prox- imity to our lines, The guerillas wore gray clothes and slouched hats.

ROUT OF REBEL CAVALRY NEAR SHELBY- VILLE, The Government haye received dispatches from Chattanocgr, Oct. 9th, (yesterday,) and from Nashyille, all containing reports most enconragiug for the national cause. The forces under General Mitchell overtook the rebel cavalry on the 6th inst., below Shel- byville, anda battie immediately ensued re- sulting in @ complete rout of the enemy, who did not stop for his wounded. Over one hun_ dred of the enemy ware left on the feld, and alsoa large number of wounded. Gen. Mitchell sent a force after the flying rebels, who scattered, panic stricken. NOT 80. We are authorized to state that the various rumors of difficulties between th: Army and Navy at Charleston, or between Gen. Gilmore and Admiral Dahlgren, are utterly without foundation, and occasion much chagrin to both the gentlemen in question. The report of Ad- miral Dahlgren being a confirmed invalid is also without foundation. He has had but a slight indispositien since his arrival off Charles- ton, which only continued for a day or two. COMMITTED TO THE CENTRAL GUARD- HOUSE. John B. Clancey and James Smith, supposed deserters, were arrested at the Delavan House last night, and confined in the Central Guard- houee.

The indictment charges that certain libellous matter was published in a_beok led “Diary from.

Mr. ley argued further that the fact that deiendant took proof sheets to Mr. Chase, and Tequested him to bind them, does not prove that ree defendant) composed the matter. The indictment chatged that the defendant composed the lib-Nous matter, and it was iu cumbent upon the prosecution to prove ti composition by the defendant. Mr. Bradl argued that the notice given yesterday to p duce the proof sheet spoken of by witness wa not sufficient. The court said the only question was whether a notice given pending the trial was such a reasonable notice as is required by law. Mr. Bradley read trom works on evidence to show that a notice during trial was not a reas- onable notice. He would also state that the defendant did not have the proof sheets re- ferred to with him. They were among his papers in New York. Mr. Carrington argued that the question as to whether the notice was given in a reasonable time was one to be decided by the Court. He (Mr. Carrington) held that the notice was saf- ficient, and that the prosecution could not know of the existence of that paper, and that Mr. Gurowski should have it in his possession. He had traced the proof sheets in Mr. Gurowski's possession, and he would prove that the defen- dant’s name was Adam Gurowski, and that he was the only one of that name» in this city. The Court said it was important this ques- tion should be settled on some general prin- ciples. it was impossible for the Court to . traverse the special circumstances of this case, but there was a general principle that notice to preduce a certain paper must be reasontbie; generally before the term of trial. The Cours would not hold a notice to a party to produce @ paper which he had in his possession, to be unreasonable during the pendeacy of a trial: but it was not to be supposed that the defend- ant wonld carry around these proof sheets in his pocket, or in his trunk, as he would a greenback or a railroad ticket. It was entirely too troublesome and cumbersome, especislly at this time. The Court did not, therefore, con- sider the notice to Mr. Gurowski sufficient. Mr. George Randall, a printer at Mr. Moore's office, called and sworn— Witness knew Coant Gurowski. Mr. Gurowski called at my pla-+ of business and: ordered a publication, and called afterwards and told us to hurry This was in last August a yout: The indictment was here handed to witn and he read the matter charged as libeliou Question by Mr. Carrington.—Have yon seen the libel charged in the indictment in aay y.19- lished. book ?

He (Gurowski) called at my piace of tus- ness, and left word tor me to call at the State Department. Mr. G. told witness he wanted him to print a diary, and that he intended to rewrite it and publish it in the form of a book Mr. Gurowski wanted the book priated on let- ter paper with a wide margin, so as to make correction.

The only thing I ever knew him do was that he was there to read the foreign papors, from a presumption that no one else in the United States could doit. Never had a word that name in the city. Mr. Bradley said be would ask the Vourt to instruct the jury that there was no evidence et Mr. Gurowski was the composer of this ibel. Mr. Carrington offered the book “Diary from March, 1:61, to November, 1:62,” in evidence. Mr. Bradley objected, and recapitulated the evidence and argued that there was no eyvi- the alleged libel, and therefore could no:charge Mr. Gurowski with being either the compozer or publisher. The District Attorney has not connected the defendant with the book, and therefore why should it go to the jury: Mr. Bradiey would here say that Mr. Gurowski had no more to do with the publication of the book than he (Mr. B.) bad. It was not neces- rey. to go into proof of that now. Tr. rringtou argued that the fact of Mr. Gurow:ki knowing of the sale and circulation of the book under his ie, was net only prima facie, but. conclusive @vidence ihat he was th» anthor and publisher of the book. He argued that it was for the jury to say whether the evidence was sufficient, and it was tor the Court to say whether such evidence has been offered. It has been fally proved that the de- fendant was is an employee of the Siaie De- partment, and that he was only one of the name of Adam Gurowski in the city. itis evident that the book was written by come one in the State Department, and therefore the book, bearing Mr. Gurowski’s name, was ample evi-+ dence that he was the author. Puttiug ali the facts together, the above-mentioned. and the requested him to bind certain papers and main- tain secrecy, was further evidence tnat the de. fendant was the author of the book. Mr. Bradley suid this was the frst tim® in the course of his experience that he ever heard that a man was to be charged with libel be- cause his name appeared upon ‘the publica- tion. Mr. B. argued that in a crimiual-pro- ceeding all things were'denied, and aii things were to be proven by the prosecution. It ws the duty of the prosecution to prove that Mr. Gurowski was*the author of that book, 2nd that had not been Cone. Mr. Bradley further argued that there was noevidence Whatever to fix the authorship and pubiication of the book upon Count Garowski, and therefore it ws not proper to give the book itseli to ine jury. ¥ judge Oartter said: The questiu now pre- sented is whether thé court will admit this » book of that portion of it named in the indict- ment to be read in evidence to th: jary. Li is said to contain a libel aguinst Mr. ihanter, a public functionary, of good reputation, as I well know from official intercourse. The court is not called upon to wetrir the me: of the libel one way cr the other, but. to pronounce simply upon the competéncy of the item of testimony. Is there proof: that he (Count Gu- Yowski) authorized the publication of this volume or that portion of it relating to the libel charged inthe indictment which was read to the jury is the question, and.the only question. It is ufged by the presecutor that there is, and there are four or five items of proot (or what is assumed by bim to be proof) authorizing it to gotothe jury. It is conceded that it canuot be read to the jury without thére is proof that the defendant 13 author "or pablisher of it, That is conceded ag 1 would ander-tand io ths argument for thé prosecution. : istrict Attorney, (interrapting.)—Evyileuce tending to show that your honor—— The Court—Yas, sir, evidence that ne is either the author of it or the publisher of it. It is claimed by the prosecution that that evidence is to be‘fourd in the association of the name with the book, in the title page of the book, in ‘the fact that the def-ndant Mas permanently or temporarily resided ia the city ef Washington while the book 1s being gold.

It no! only does not constitute perfect proof, but it consti- tutes no proof at ali—not an item of proef. I agree with the prosecution thal itis the privi- lege of the Count to examine the evidences, internal as well as external, of this book, to prove its identity with the defendant. 1f this is internal evidence, it is internal evi- dence of nothing—simply and absolutely noth- ing in connection with the idenuty of 4 party. The title of the book is referred to as the only remaining ear-mark of identity, and that is a diary of somebody calling himself Adam Gu- rowski from. March 4, 1s6!, to Nov. 12, 1862. A diary is a title to « given description of literary work—patchwork that men drop by the way- side from day to day—a sort of memoranda literature—and it is the title of @ class of liter- ary productions that any body inay write and baptize in thisname. There is uoihing in the term “diary,” and nothing in the period of “from Mareh {th, IS6!, to November 12th, 1862,” to identify the book with the defendant. Itis a common title—common to this class of productions here and everywhere. In every language with which I am acqnai 1a simi- lar title is given to literary prodnetions of this description, That is all we have between the covers of the book.
