We have no further reports of the attack on Charleston. he Richmond Enquirer contains rebel accounts to the 16th. It says that the rebels attacked part of our forces on James Island that morning, and drove them to the protection of their gunboats in the Stono, with a small loss on both sides, ‘The enemy (Union forces) is massing his troops on Morris Island, evidently for another gttack on battery Wagner to-night or to-mor- row. Three Monitor gunboats and the mortar boats kept up an almost constant fire all day on that work, with little damage to it and few ‘casu- tlities.”” There is nothing important from the Army of ‘the Potomac. It is believed that the present movements of General Meade’s army, although they cannot be now revealed, will certainly even- tunte in the gestruction of the enemy. General Lee’s army has not made as much ground in their retreat as was supposed. The main body is now in the vicinity of Winchester, and quite a large number at Bunker Hill. The fact that he should have been permitted to escape across the Potomac is the cause ot much discontent in Washington. Whe President avows himself “profoundly de- pressed” at his escape. Official despatches from Admiral Porter relative to the late fight at Helena, Arkansas, dated on the 8th, have been received by the Navy Depart- ment. He sent an expedition, consisting of the steamers Tyler, Bragg and Hastings, to intercept General Price, who was reported advancing from Arkansas to the Mississippi river, with a view to cut off our transports. The Union troops were commanded by General Prentiss, They behaved gallantly, and General Price was forced to retreat towards Alexand The official report of Colonel Batch's attack on Jackson, Miss., has been forwarded by General Hurlbut to the War Department. The rebel loss ‘was two hundred in killed, wounded and prisoners, four hundred conscripts released, and about two hundred and fifty horses taken, with more than that number of arms. Adiniral Farragut’s report of the capture of Port Hudson has aleo been received by the Navy Department. Our correspondent at Vicksburg furnishes to-day an interesting list of the divisions, brigades and regiments capiured and paroled by General Grant. They constituted the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana. The steamer Thomas A. Scott, which arrived here yesterflay from New Orleans, brings one days later news (to the 12th). The steam frigate Hartford and gunboat Albatross, from above Port Hudson, had reached New Orleans. None of the captured rebels had been paroled by Genergl Banks to the latest accounts. Of the garrison, four thousand wore in line when the garrison was eurrendered, besides five hundred wounded and one thousand sick. The wounds are mainly in the head, from the bullets of sharpshooters. Our bat+ tories had destroyed an immense amount of stores. A ‘good supply of amunitioh fell into onr hands.

The rebel steamer Gibraltar, late the Sumter, had sailed from Liverpool for Nassau, N. P.

Lord Clarence Paget, Secretary of the Admiral- ty, denied that he was about to take command of the British North American fleet. The Union citizens in Paris celebrated the Fourth of July bya dinner at the Grand Hotel. Some Southerners boarding in the house took offence at the display of the Uniged States flag on the build- ing, and the proprietor took it down on account of their remonstrances. : The notes of the three allied Powers on the sub- ject of Poland have been laid before,the Emperor of Russia, and are reported to be of a con- ciliatory character.

In connection with Poland Lord Palmerston replied in Parliament to Mr. Warner that England hud made no prospective arrangements to fight for Poland, but that she would act as occasion re- quired. A militery revolution had occurred in Greece. | The ouibreak had a serious aspect for some days, but subsided under the action of the representa- tives of England, France, Russia and Italy. Accounts received from varions parts of France agree that the appearance of the crops is more promising than it has been witnessed for a long time. The struggle in the Caucasus is represented as spreading and growing more alarming to Russia every day. Advices from Madagascar state that the procla- mation of the Queen Rasocrena, widow and cousin | of the late King Radama 1I., took place on the 21st of May. Nothing was said either of the fact or manner of the king’s death. Consois closed in London on the 9th of July at 922% a 9224 for money. The Confederate rebel cotton loan was still at a discount. The Liverpool cotton market was quiet, with prices unchanged, on the 9th of July, Breadstuffs were flat and tend- ing toa decline. Provisions were quiet, and prices, steady. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The ship Cynosure, Captain Cram, from Liver- pool, arrived yesterday, with seven hundred and forty Mormon passengers. During the voyage there were two marriages, six births and twelve deaths—infants. . The Union troops are now in possession of four rebel State capitals, and their respective seats of government are being carried about in carpet bags and bandboxes by their itfnerent Executives.

New Orleans, Memphis, Evansyille, andall the cities and towns whose prosperity depends on the commerce of the great river, have been manifesting their deligit at the progress of the Union arms by similar demonstrations; and we have no doubt that the people of Vicksburg themselves are as much gratified as avy other community that their long night of agony is over. When Charleston, Knoxville and Rich- mond find the national flag once more floating over thenz, their people will also thank God for their deliverance.

The Sabbath stillness of the city yesterday was unbroken. Not even the rumor of a dis- turbance was abroad to create alorm in the most timid. The clergy of the Catholic churches almost universally devoted their dis- courses from the pulpit to references to the recent sad scenes of violence and bloodshed. They exhorted their flocks to peace. order and the Christian spirit of forbearance—counsel which we trust and believe will have much weight with such members of their con- gregations as may have been exasperated into participating in the tumultuous scenes of last week, as well as with those who, by their influence, example and pru- dent advice, may deter others, more rash, from any future demonstrations of a violent character. Reports of the sermons will be found in another portion of our paper. Meantime the authorities are taking such measures aa will render the recurrence of the scenes of the past few days highly improbable. Five more militia regiments ar- rived from the seat of war yesterday, their term of service having expired, and we believe that four or five more are expected to-day. Governor Seymour issues an important order to-day to the effect that as a sufficient number of the National Guard of the State has now ar- rived in the city to enable the civil authorities to preserve the peacc, all volunteer citizens now in arms, are relieved from duty, and are directed forthwith to deliver up such arms as they may have been furnisbed by the State, to | Commissary General Farrell at the Arsenal immediately.

Tis Foormt or Jory Ovrooxe.—The opening Misslaippl, by our great victorios at Vicksburg and Port “Hudson, bas caused throughoat the West the most enthusiastic re joicings, and the event has been celebrated as any other event was since the birth of this nbtic.

With that highway under our control, the rebel con- federacy is cut in two. The region west of the Mississippi—Arkansas, Texas and Lonisiana— have no longer any counection with the rébel States east of it, but are bound fast again to the republic; and if peace were to be made to- morrow it would bave to be on the basis of the trans-Missiesippi States remaining \incor- porated with the, Unton. If we were to son- sult our material interests alone we might well be satisfied with such an arrangement; but there is more than material interests at stake in the contest. The unity and permanency of the republic is the issue for which our gallant army and navy are struggling, and while a rebel column exists in any part of the United States the work is incomplete. It must be | finished, and until it is all men will evince their loyalty to the republic by strengthening the hands of the national. government. It is the surest, quickest, and only way to bring | peace and to avoid conscription. i Tre Reasons ror tie Drarr.—One of our Wasbington correspondents states that the main reason for the enforcement of the draft at this time is the threatening aspect of our relations with England. The govern- ment at Washington looks upon the speeches in Parliament, the hostile attitude of the press of London, and the decision made in the Alexandra case, as an intimation of war, and therefore pushes forward the draft, to be pre- pared for it. Another reason assigned is the complication growing out of the French war in Mexico; but this, like that of England, we consider reste entirely upon contingencies yet ip the future. It is also stated from other sources that the government is desirous of the draft under the idea that many of those drafted will pay the three hundred dol- lars, and thus a fund will be obtained large enough to pay sufficient bounty to the two years and nine months men to induce them to re-enlist. It is likewise said that the authorities consider thie the culininating point of the rebellion, and they desire to organize the three hun¢red thousand additional men asa reserve force, for the purpose of showing dhe rebels that there is no use of their holding out any longer. It {s understood that the ad- ministration intend to enlarge and strengthen all the fortifications along our seaconsts, and many of the new men will be placed in those fortifications near home, and there be drilied in the manning of beavy guns and in artillery practice. . We have not sufficient data to say whether | all these reasont have convinced the govern | ment that theydraft is imperatively necessary at | thistine.

The volunteers marched one hundred and seventy miles with only six days’ rations, and during this time they twice crossed the South Mountain. The Approaching End of the Rebel- Mon. The heavy telling blows, in quick succession, received by the rebels at Gettysburg, Vicks- burg, Port Hudson, Charleston, and in Ten: nessee, cannot fail to crush them very speedily if followed up by other movements. The moral and physical effects are equally tremendous. The capture of Fort Wagner and Cummings’ Point is all that is needed for the certain de- | struction or surrender of Fort Sumter; and Fort Sumier is the key to the possession of the city or the means of its destruction, With this fort in the hands of our troops or destroyed, all the defences of Charleston or James Island can be | turned, and rendered of no» avail, while Fort Moultrie and the elaborate defences on Sulli- van’s Island Will become isolated, and the rebel troops there will have to retreat in order , to save themselves from capture. By the skill ot General Gillmore the rebels have been com- pletely taken by surprise, and we would not be astonished to bear in one week that Charles- ton has fallen. No doubt reinforcements are being sent to it from Bragg’s army and from | Richmond; but the question is, will they be at the scene in time, and even if there can they | | save the city from destruction by our gunboats? Charleston fallen and Tennessee in the pos- session of Rosecrans, it will be a very simple military operation for that general to extend his line of march across Georgia, so as to meet the victorious army of Gillmore in South Caro- lina—a movement by which the rebel confede- racy would be bisected from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, as itis already bisected at right angles with this bisection by the fall of Vicks- burg and Port Hudvon. Then Mobile must fail before the advancing columns of Grant, which would again divide the rebellious States by a line from the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. I\s territory thus eut up and its unity destroyed, what becomes of the confederacy? All that now saves it from utter ruin is the recent es- cape of the army of Lee over the Potomac. Had that army been destroyed there could no longer be any question about the capture of Richmond and the simultaneous caving ih of the whole rebellion. Whe recent gugcesses of our armion are, therefore, of the most éncouraging nature, and promise a speedy end to the war. As for the reconstruction of the Union, that must be the work of statesmen, and not warriors. Generals and armies are great in the work of destruction; but to build up is not their business. When a | peace is conquered the statesmanship of the country will be tasked to the uttermost. The lack of statesmanship in those who controlled the war has caused it to be untneceasaril y pro- longed, and oceans of treasure and blood to be squandered in vain.” Put we hope and pray that in the work of reconstruction a better class of statesmen will arise, and: that such ability and public virtue will be developed out of this terrible collision as will re-establish the nation firmly-as one people. | i | Foreian INTERVENTION IN THE UnivEp Srates.— The news from Europe, four days later, which we publish this morning, contains an ex- planation from the Moniteur of the inter- view between Napoleon and Messrs. Roc- buck and Lindsay. If we are to believe the official organ of the Emperor, those gen- tlemen have considerably exaggerated what he srid. It appears, however, that Napoleon did grant them an interview, and that the sub ject of intervention was on the tapis. The Emperor expressed his desire to see peace re established in America, but that, as England had declined his proposa! of mediation last October, he did not intend to submit a new proposition without the certainty of its acceptance. The imperial raler of France further stated that his Ambassador would nevertheless receive in structious to sound the English Cabinet upon the subject, giving it to understand that if Eogland thought the recoguition of the South likely to put an end to the war the Emperor was disposed to follow her in that course. It is very plain, from this statement of the Moniteur, that Napoteon was very anxious to bring Englandwith him into his scheme of medi- ation, and, failing in that, to induce her to recog- nize the independedce of the South, promising to follow her in that course, His object is to em- broil her with the United States government. by hook or by crook, in order to reduce her to the position of a third rate Power, and to give him the control of the affairs of all Europe. If he cannot get her into ascrape with the Ameri- can people by means of an alliance he will do his best to put her forward alone. But her cautious statesmen seem determined to keep clear of the ‘danger, and if he will only wait for England to take the lead in recognizing the South he will have to wait a long time. But the reticent Emperor does not tell what he will do himself in the event of England de. clining to lead off in the policy of recognition He does not say that he will recognize the South himself nor that he will not do so, nor does he say that he is unwilling to form an al- Tiance with England or with any other Power for the purpose of a joint recognition. It is worth the while of our government, therefore, to watch the subtle Emperor, and to be pre- pared to pay bin off in relation to bis Mexican scheme should he venture to croas the path of the American republic in its struggle for unity and self-preser : ation. Tue Mernorots on Suxpay.—Yesterday the city was as calm and peaceful as though New York had never known the disorders which made last week #0 fearful an epoch in ber his- tory. The people crowded the streets on their way to church, to the Park, and those favorite resorts near the city. With the exception of the ruins of the houses burned and sacked during the riot, and the appearance of the mili- tary in some portions of the city, no one just arriving here would for ® moment have sup- pored that we had just passed through such a terrible crisis. Toe Orenarions at Onantestox.—Although the accounts publisbed by the sensational jour- nals of the burning of Charleston are not cor- rect, still the news from that place is glorious.
