4 NEW YORK HERALD. JAMES GORDON BENNETYI, EDITOR AND PKO/RIEIOR. OFFICE N. W.CORNBR OF FULTON AND NASSAU ST3. THE SITUATION. General Gillmore’s official despatch relative to the attack on Charleston gives us some interest- ing particulars of the brilliant exploits of our troops and Monitors at Morris Island. All the strongholds, with the exception of Fort Wagner, were taken after a fight of three hours. An assault on that work on the morning of the 11th. The parapet was gained; but the supports recoiled under the fire to which they were exposed, and could not be got up. General Gillmore says that our losses in both actions will not vary much from one hundred ‘and fifty tm killed, wounded and missing. We have taken eleven pieces of heavy ordnance and S large quantity of camp equipage. The enemy’s Joss in killed and wounded will not fall far short of two hundred. Everything on the island, except the battery at Cumming’s Point and Fort Wagner is now in our possession. The staunchness of the Monitors was well tested in the fight. They stood the tremen- duous fire of the rebel forts splendidly, and came out of the action-unshaken. General Meade’s army is in the vicinity of Ber- lin, Maryland, and itis thought that some days will be occupied in recuperating both men and was made horses after their fatiguing marches in the intense heat. General Lee’s army is reported to be pushing onas rapidly as possible towards Cul- pepper, and will probably not halt until it crosses the Rappahannock. It is said to be greatly dispirited. The Richmond papers, from which we give many extracts to-day, speak most despondently of the state of affairs in the rebel armies, both in the West and in Virginia. The Richmond Whig of the ‘9th inst. says that the intelligence from General Lee falls far short of the promise of the despatches of the previous day, and would prove a grievous disappointment of the high wrought hopes of the public, and that, superadded to the fall of Vicks- burg, it casts a sombre shadow over affairs in the confederacy. - We learn by despatches from Washington that the numbers of rebel prisoners captured at diffe. rent points within the last two weeks is 80,000, In the same time they have taken from us only 15,000 prisoners. The rebel guerilla Morgan's raid in Indiana and Ohio is likely to be brought to a disastrous close soon. Despatches from Cincinnati yesterday state that he was surrounded by the Union forces near Piketon. On Wednesday night his advance guard reached West Union, near the river, opposite Maysville, Ky., where our gunboats drove them back. Our latest news from the “Mississippi valley is from Cairo on the 15th. Colonel Riggin, of Gene- ral Grant's staff, had arrived there, with des- patches for the government. The garrison cap- tured at Port Hudson is seven thousand, and the guns number thirty-five ficld pieces, twenty-five siege :uns, aud ten thousand stand of small arms. General Sherman was still pursving the main body of Joe Johnston's army, but had not come up with it. Our correspondent at Vicksburg, writing on the 7th, describes the attack-on Johnston. He says that General Grant has added still another victory to the list of his brilliant successes in this cam- paign Our forces came up with Johnston’s rear guard near Bolton on the 5g inst., and after a short skirmish made them prisoners, to the number, it is reported, of some six thousand. The cavalry corresponderfts of the Heratp have always been in a position of great danger. Mr. Bulkley, with General Pleasanton’s corps, was captared during the engagement at Beverly Ford, June 9, and is still in a Richmond jail; Mr. Buck- ingham, his successor with the same corps, was killed June 22; and on the 5th of July Ur. William Young, the successor of both these gentlemen, ‘was captured by part of the rebel army under General Lee. The account of this last nameé gen- tleman’s adventures, as relates to himself, is very interesting; but is the moro valuable i.asmuch as it furnishes a complete list of names of officers captured at Gettysburg, now in the hands of the rebels (with the exception of those sent forward wounded), and a partial list of captured non-com- missioned officers and privates. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The steamship Ocean Queen, Captain Wilson, from Aspinwall on the 8th inst., with mails, pas- sengers, and $194,400 in treasure, from San Fran- cisco, arrived at this port yesterday. ‘The churches of New Granada were all closed, 4n consequence of a decree prohibiting priests from celebrating divine service unless they take an ath to confiscate all church property to the government, | At Valparaiso @ rotor was curregt, and believ- ed, that @ rebel steamer and a ship on fire had been seen off the port. The steamship America, Captain Maury, from ‘Ban Juan del Norte 7th, and Havana 12th inst., ar- gived at this port last evening. The Nicaragua ‘Transit route is in complete and ‘successful opera- tion, The questions at issue between the Nicara- gvan government and the Transit Company have ‘deen adjusted, and transferred to Washington for final abttlement between the company and thd Minister from Nicaragua. The Most Reverend Archbishop of Dublin hand- a4 to the Central Relief Committee of Ireland, on the 3d of July, the sum of £1,713 Ss. 7d. for sub- ecriptions from the United States. The amount was made up as follows :—From the Rochester Re- diet Committee, £287 10a, 10d.; the Rev. Mr. Heal- Jy, Tifin, United States, £24 10s.; the Right Rev. Dr. McParland, Bishop of Hartford, £1,289 16s, 2d.; Right Rey. Dr. MeClosky, Bishop of Albany, ©n the part of the Hibernian Benevolent Society of Albany, £71 13s. 24,, and from the Very Rev. Wr. Keogh, of Pittsburg, £39 188. 6d, The Arch- ‘bishop of Dublin says:—1 have written to the va- vious contributors, thanking them for their extra- jordinary generosity, but Ido not know how we loan adequately express our admiration of the harity manifested by our brethren in America in ch difficult and critical times, May God soon peace and prosperity to them, in good inquiry, and some of them were consider; I} 1 Proit Mati rone 28 ee coms, Gold fell vo 2537, Money closing at 12634, Exchange was 1375¢ 9 183)¢. was extremely oagy; call loans 6 #6 per cent ‘The cotton market yesterday was quite dal and un- sottled, The inquiry for flour was more active, but ] prices were much Jowor. Whoat was quiet at reduced figures, Corn was freely purchased, but was cheaper. Toe only important transactions in provisions were tn pork, prices of which were tending downward, : Sugars were in better request. A moderate demand prevailed for hay, tallow and whiskey, at declining rates. ‘There ‘were no important movements in other commodities, The Condition of the City. In many districts of the city yesterday the disturbances were almost allayed. Law and order seemed to prevail toa greater extent than at any time since Monday last. The stores were reopened, the stages and cara were again in motion, and the city generally resumed much of its wonted peaceful aspect. In a few lgcalities, especially in the Eigh- teenth and Twenty-first wards, there was a considerable display of resistance to authority, and many lives were sacrificed; but the vigor of the military power brought to bear upon the excited people proved too much for them. Not only were a number of ar- rests made, but several persons were shot down by the soldiery in the houses from which any attacks were made. This summary mode | of treating obnoxious individuals had the neces- sary result of subduing the resistant multitude to a great extent, although at the cost of much | | blood. Gen. Kilpatrick, whose splendid services as a cavalry officer with the Army of the Potomac are fresh in the memory of the public, arrived here last night, and immediately offered him- self to Gen. Wool. The latter officer has ac- } cordingly made a call upon the old cavalry ; soldiers now in the city, and upon all young men accustomed to the saddle, to join a volun- | teer cavalry corps, under command of General i Kilpatrick, to assist in the suppression of vio- \ lence. All volunteers who have no horses are | notified that they will be furnished with ani- mals and accoutrements in Madison square to- day. It is to be hoped that the abandonment of the draft, which removes the cause of the present excitement, and the consciousness that there is sufficient power in the hands of the authorities to quell any further violence, will have the effect of putting a stop to the dreadful scenes which have for some days past kept the city in a state of terror and alarm. ~ General Meade’s New Campaign—The Rebellion Fairly Within Our Grasp. We find the opinion afloat that, inasmuch as the rebel arty of Virginia has slipped through the fingers of General Meade, the active pur- suit of General Lee will not be resumed for some time; that the Army of the Potomac, in fact, will for some weeks to come be held in comparative idleness as an army of observa- tion. We hope there is no foundation for any such conjecture, and we cannot imagine that General Meade is the man to give up the chase until the fox is captured or fairly driven into his den. Mr. Secretary Stanton describes the retreat of General Lee as a rout; his losses much greater than they were first supposed to be, and his army in a dispirited and demoralized con- dition. Under such circumstances every day's delay in following up our advantages is a day lost tous and a day gained to the enemy in his retreat, or a day for the all important work of reorganization.- General Meade is strong enough to push directly up the Shenandoah valley after Lee, and to drive him out and scatter his forces to the winds. Experience has shown that it is next to impossible to guard all the passes of the Blue Ridge, and head him off by a short cut on the eastern side. It is to be hoped, there- } fore, that either the simple plan will be adopted by General Meade of pushing after the army of Lee as fast as possible, till brought to bay or dispersed among the mountains, or that our | victorious and powerful army will be moved ! by the shortest route directto Richmond. A crushing defeat to Lee will give us Richmond without another blow; but so will our occupa- tion of Richmond dispose of the army of Lee. What New Orleans was in a commercial and financial view, Richmond is in a mamufacturing view, to the rebel States; for nearly all their foundries of cannon, shot and shell, and facto- ries of small arms (Harper’s Ferry machinery), and flour and woollen mills, and clothing sbops, and military stores of all kinds, are in Richmond. It follows that the loss of Rich- mond will be as fatal to the rebellion as the destruction of the army of Lee. Let the War | Office only determine whether it shall be Lee or Richmond, and the Army of the Potomac is now in a position from which it may move successfully to its object. Our most serious apprebension now is that the rebel army of Virginia will get back to Rich- mond, and that then, ustder cover of this army, the rebel government, Jeff. Davis, Cabinet, Con- gress, archives, Confederate sorip and scrip- Page, bag and baggage, will be slipped out of Richmond and well on the road to Georgia | before the news is known beyond the rebel | lines, Unquestionably the only chance now remain- ing to Davis for the maintenance six months longer of his Southern confederacy is to reduce it to the limits of South Carolina and Georgia. | Rosecrans, having disposed of the army of | Bragg, and having liberated East Tennessee, | may now strike for Richmond or Raleigh, as } he may deem most expedient. Grant and | Banks, and Porter and Farragut, having com. | pletely reopened the Mississippi, having dis- { posed of one-fifth of the armed forces of the | rebellion, in their recont splendid operations, | and having started Joe Jobnston on his travels } in search of a place of refuge, can now proceed | deliberately to gather up the remaining rebel | detachments scattered about here and there in Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama, so that nothing may be lost. Such is the prospect to Davis in the South. | west; and in the East, his untenable head- | quarters in Virginia, and his precarious footing in North Carolina, admonish him to be off to Georgia. Let him steer clear of Charleston; for the engineer who battered Fort Pulaski into a capitulation is now operating against Fort Spmter, andina which must | inevitably succeed. The administPAtion at Inst, find ,without any extraordinary activity or energy, can surely bring this rebellion to an quarters of the army:— NEW YORK HERALD, end before the meeting of Congress. The de- cline of gold in Wall street to 126, notwith- standing our alarming local disturbances, re- sults from a matter of fact calculation of the drawbacks, disasters, losses, exhausted re- sources and utterly worthless prospects of the rebellion, Late Reset News.—We publish in another column a batch of very interesting extracts from the Richmond Whig, brought to us by Mr. William Young, one of our corres- pondents, who was captured by the rebels and confined at Winchester, but managed to effect his escape, and, like a true journalist, brought this late rebel newspaper along with him. The Richmond rebels have at last learned the fate of Vicksburg and the de- feat of Lee. The Whig says:—“The intelligence from General Lee falls far short of the promise of the despatches published yesterday, and will Prove agrievous disappointment to the high wrought hopes of the public. Superadded to the calamity at Vicksburg, it casts a sombre shadow over our affairs; but we must con- stantly bear in mind that it is in adversity that true greatness is revealed in its noblest attri- butes;” and then—up goes the price of sugar. In another article the Whig says that the capture of Vicksburg does not amount to much, as the navigation of the Mississippi will still be interrupted by guerillas; but in the article quoted this capture is called a “ calamity,” and in another editorial it is viewed as a “ misfor- tune,” and is made the text for a bitter attack upon Bragg, Pemberton and Johnston, the rebel War Department, Jeff. Davis and his favoritism, and matters and things generally. In another part of the paper, however, we find a telegram, dated Jackson, June 7, stating that General Loring had at- tacked Osterhaus, near Edwards’ Depot, and driven bim across the river. Rebel loss heavy; | Union loss not known. Also that Dick Taylor and Gordon had attacked General Banks and “routed him with heavy loss.” on the 7th instant. This story about Banks is, however, spoiled for the rebels; for Port Hudson sur- rendered on the 8th instant, and Banks marched in on the 9th. Of the other story, in regard to the attack upon Osterhaus, we believe nothing except the “heavy loss” of the rebels. This late rebel news will well re- pay eareful perusal. THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON. Official Report of Brigadier General Gillmore. Capture of Eleven Pieces of Heavy Ordnance and a Large Quantity of Camp Equipage, &., &e., &e, Wasuivcton, July 16, 1863. ‘The following report has bocn received at thehead- Heap quarters, Derartueyt oy me Sourn, In THe Fretp, Morris Istann, 8. ©., July 12, 1863, Major General H. W. Harirex:— Sim--I have the honor to report that at five o'clock on the morning of the 10th instant I made an attack on the enemy's fortified position onthe south end of Morris Island, and, after an engagement lasting three hours and & quarter , captured ali his strongholds on that part of the island, and pushed forward my infantry to within six hundred yards of Fort Wagner, We now hold all the island except about one mile on the north end, which in- Cludes Fort Wagner anda battery on Cummings’ Point, Mounting at the present time fourteen or fifteen heavy guns in the aggregate, The assaulting column was gallantly led by Brigadier General Strong. It landed in smal! boats, under cover of our batteries on Folly Istand and four Monitors, lol by Rear Admiral Dahlgren, which entered the main channel abroast of Morris Island soon after our batteries opeved. The Monitors continued their fire during the day, mostly Against Fort Wagner. ‘On the morning of the 11th jnst., at daybreek, an at tempt was made to carry Fort Wagner by assault tho rapet was gaine!, but the supports recoiled under the Bre to whion they were c xposod, and could not be got up. Our losses in both actious will not vary much from one hundred and fifty in killed, wounded and missing. We have taken cleyen pieces of heavy ordnance anda large quantity of camp eqyuipage. The enemy's loss in Killed and wounded will not fall short of two hundred. Vory respectfully, your obedient servant, Q. A. GILLMORE, Brigadier General commanding. Additional Particulars of the Action. Wasmuxaron, July 16, 1363. Advices received here from the scene of operations in Charleston harbor, throw some additional light upon the Position of aflairs in that quarter. An assault was made upon Fort Wagner by a portion of the Sovonth Connecticut rogiment, which actually charged over the works and succeeded in spiking three of the rebel guns. They shonld have been supported by one New York and one Pennsylvania regiment, but they failed to come up in time, and the Connecticut boys were re- Pulsed and driven dut of the fort, with a loss of about one hundred killed, wounded and captured. H Another attack has been arranged, and has most proba- | bly taken place by this time, which it was believed must be successful and the whole island be in our possession, ‘The value of the Monitors has been again forcibly de- monstrated in these operations. The Kaatekill was struck sixty-four times, some of the missiles being from the ten inch guns, and received go little damage that she was roady to go into action again the next morning. No casualties occurred on board, notwithstanding the severe hammering received, one man only having been some- what stunned. 5 Tho military and naval forces are working barmoni- Ously together, and their joint efforts, it is confidently expected, will soon reduce the immonse fortifications constructed in the harbor by two years constant labor ‘and at enormous expense, and insure the speedy ocoupa- lon by the Union forces of the cradle of the rebellion.

How long it will remain is of course only known to General Meado. It Is probable that some days will be spent in recupera ting both men and horses, both of whom have suffered from long and fatiguing marches. The position is one which gives the army the advantage of the Baltimore and | Obio railroad, and where ft can be easily and abundantly | | fod. Tho proximity of the river is also of great advantage to | the men, and the whole army will probably be put through a thorough ablution.
