The United States steamer Circassian, which arrived at Fortress Monroe yesterday, reports that oth our land and naval forces commenced a battle at Charleston on Friday, which was pro- gressing when the gunboat left. We have, of course, no particulars of the fight. A telegram received in Washington last night says that the conflict was a sharp one, and that firing was going on in all directions. The total defeat of the rebel General Morgan in Ohio is fully confirmed. An official despatch from Gen. Shackleford to Gen. Burnside’s headquarters yesterday reports the details of the final blow and aurrender of Morgan’sforces. The remainder of the troops, not before captured, numbers one thou- sand five hundred; but Morgan himself was not in- cluded in the surrender, he having decamped with @ small squad. Gen. Shackleford and Col. Wol- ford chased the enemy for fifty miles on Monday, and at three o'clock sent a flag of trace demanding asurrender. After a consultation of ferty minutes Col. Coleman, on behalf of the rebels, surrendered. Morgan will, no dovbt, also fall into our hands, for he cannot now remain long at large in Ohio. Thus ends this daring raid into the Western free States. All the prisoners, numbering two thousand five hundred, and the whole artillery, were expected ig Cincinnati yesterday. It is reported, bnt not on any reliable authority, General Lee's army has met witha check in ita retreat at Bunker Hill, not far from Harper's Ferry. General Averill’s cavalry are said to have been pressing the enemy's western line of retreat for the last two days. It was thought that Ewell and Hood had a large force between Hedgesville and Martinsville, with pickets extending from the former place to Shenandoah, eight miles from Harper's Ferry. We learn from Cairo, under date of the 20th, that Yazoo City, which was held by about eight hundred rebels, was captured by the Union troops under General Herron on the 13th. Two hundred and fifty prisoners were captured. The gunboat DeKalb, which accompanied the expedition, was blown up by torpedoes and sunk in shallow water, but no lives wero lost. The robels burned three transports lying above the city, and some eight or ten large steamers up the Yazoo. The same authority states that Gon- eral Lauman has been relieved of his command by Gen, Sherman, for disobedience of orders and pre- maturely attacking Jackson. He made the attack onthe 13th, and was ropalsed with a loss of three hundred killed and wounded. General Sherman fs said to be pressing Joe John- ston hard, and that his escape is impossible. We publish in another column the official letters which passed between General Banks and Gene- tal Gardner preceding the surrender of Port Budson. ‘The President has removed from active service and placed on the retired list General Wool, Gene- tal Harney, General Harvey Brown, Colonel Aus: tin Dimmick, Colonel Charles 8.

A horrible acciient ocourred in Bast Treente second stroe! about noon yesterday, The side wallof the Fighteenth ward station house, which was burnt during the late disturbance, fell down | upon «number of people, mostly children, who were engaged in picking up wood and coal from the ruins, A great number of people, estimated between twenty-five and forty, were buried in the ruins. Eleven bodies were recovered up to nine o’elock last evening, four of them with life still in them, and notso much injured as te bo beyond all hope of recovery, At the meeting of the Board of Supervisors yes- terday, a resolution offering a reward of $500 for the arrest of the murderers of Col. O’Brien was adopted. The other business which came up waa entirely routine and of sms !! importance. Alexander McCoppin, William L. Sawyer and William Jenkins were sent to Fort Lafayette yes: terday, by United States Marshal Murray, for run- ning the blockade. The burghers and slave proprietors in the Ne- therland division of St. Martin—an fsland in the Dutch West Indies—have formally protested against the amount of indemnity awarded them for their slaves recently emancipated by decree of the government. In their resolutions they declare that the Emancipation act is the result of pre- cipitate legislation, and if enforced will bear throughout the land the harrowing pangs of bank. ruptcy, destitution and want. The indemnity awarded for each slave is thirty guilders; but the quondam masters are loudly clamoring for the full appropriation of two hundred guilders, which has been awarded to other colonies, and which they have been led to expect. The Pennsylvania State Teachers’ Association meets at Reading on the 4th, 5th and 6th of Av- ST tock vancksh wu tigahive yesterday, and the lend- ing shares were lower. Gold rose to 129%, but fell after- wards to 125%. Exchange was 138% a 138% im the afternoon, with a very light demand. Money was casy. Call loans, 5 a 6 per cent. ‘There was more doing yesterday in cotton, at decidedly firmer prices. A fair business was reported in bread- stuffs, but at unsettled rates, the market closing with a downward tendency. Tho demand was fair for hay, petroleum, Jinseed oil, sugars, pork, lard and whiskey. Most other articles were very sparingly purchased. The freight market was moderately active. The market for beef cittie was liberally supplied, but there prevailed a good demand, and prices were rather bet- ter. The whole range of prices was 8c. a 1c. a 11!<c., and a few very choice brought 12c. A good were many sold at Bergen and an unusually large number at Browning's, where 700 head were placed. The cattle wero generaliy good and brought 10c. a 11c. The average price was about 10c. Cows were steady at $25 a $60. Veals wore steady at Sc. a 73g. a 8c. Sheep and lambs have sold at 53¢c. a 6c. for sheep (some choice sold on Friday at 63¢c.) 8 9c. a 9 34c. for lambs. Swine have sold at 53{c. corn fed and 4%o. a5%¢c. for swill fed. week's receipts were 6,213 beef cattle, 92 cows, 499 veals, 11,231 sheep and lambs and 7,224 swine. Full particulars will be found in the Weekly edition, published on Saturday. The War in the Southwest—Operations of General Grant and General Rose- crans. We think it altogether probable that our next news from Jackson, the State capital of Missiesippi, will be that that place, including the army of General Joe Johnston, has been “gobbled up” by the: active army of General Grant. According to the despatches which we have published from rebel newspapers, the Union forces came up in front of the city on the 10th of July, from which time there hdd been very severe fighting every day down to the 16th. Despatches from the besieged army of that day, to the Richmond Enquirer, say:— “An entire block in this city was destroyed by the enemy’s shells yesterday. Heavy rein- forcements for Grant continue to arrive, who are pressed on our right for the purpose of crossing Pearl river above and flanking us. The enemy are planting siege guns on their re- doubts. It is supposed that to-morrow the re- mainder of Jackson will be burned.” If such were the best reports which, on fhe 16th, could be furnished from Jack- son for the edification of Jeff. Davis in Richmond, we have no doubt that a day or two thereafter Jackson and Joe John- ston shared the fate of Vicksburg and Pember- ton. Johnston some time ago was represented as having scraped together from various odds and ends an army of about twenty thousand men. At Jackson it probably amounted to twenty-five thousand, and with this force behind his fortifications he no doubt calculated upon successfully defending his position. But of what use are fortifications to a city when it can be “destroyed by the enemy's shells?” We guess, therefore, that, if Johnston was not per- sunded by the “enemy’s shells” to surrender in order to save the city, he consented to its de- struction in order to try to escape with his army amid the smoke and the noise and confu- sion incident to a great conflagration. Thus much for the situation of Johnston at Jackson on the 16th of July. From the ac- counts of rebel newspaper correspondents it was hardly a more promising situation than that of Pemberton on the 3d. With the capture or destruction of Johnston’s army there will be nothing left to Mobile but a graceful capitula- tion on the approach of Gen. Grant. At the same time no doubt Gen. Banks, with his army of Port Hudson, is en route across Western Louisiana or actively preparing for the im- portant mission ef the reannexation of Texas, Our last advices from General Rosecrans lo- cated him down at Rome, in Georgia, in pursuit of Bragg, who, it was reported, was endeavor- ing to make a junction with Joe Johnston (four hundred miles westward), but that desertions from his army in the meantime were very nu- merous. And why should they not be, espe- cially from his Tennessee regiments, the men of which would be very apt to conclude that, under all the circumstances of the case, Bragg’s retreat involved his absolute abandonment of Tennessee as @ State which could no longer be held or defended by the diminished and demor-- alized armies of the “so called Confederate States?” We think that if Bragg has not halted to make a fight at Atlanta, he is endeavoring most likely to effect a juncture with Beaure- gard for the defence of Charleston, The rebels there are beginning to snuff their danger in Gillmore’s occupation of Morris Istana, They know that this occupation gives him foothold from which he may knock Fort Sumter to pieces, after the fashion of Fort Pulaski; and #0 they are already beginning to talk of resiat- ing his entry into the city street by street. Joff. Davis is in a truly desperate and danger- ous situation; but, like Macbeth, he seems re- solved at least to die with harness on bis back. He has issued « proclamation announcing a rigid and inflexible conscription of all the able bodied white men between eighteen and forty- five within his vanishing dominions, and that these men are to lose no time in coming to the rescue, It is not very Mkely, however, that there will or can be anything of a new rebel army raised by this process, inasmuch as Davis has already, by his sweeping conseriptions gleaned up almost every availabl lebodied man from Virginia to Texos, This will account wy the otherwise extraordinary fect that for We min vaths Joe Jobnetos taboring earnestly reine an army for the relief 0° Vicksburg, was | cases of Ggeat apd |i seysune will democatjoe NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 22, ISIE ay Cen nro Ne > the army of Lee, half of which is from the | cotton States, and, in view of the danger that pow menaces it, will insist upon reguraing every man to his native State. ‘The war is therefore substantially over. Bat the question arises, how are the political diffi- culties to be settled and reconstruction achieved? Simply by granting the Con- federates all the rights of American citi- zenship under the constitution, and ab the same time by proclaiming war against Eng- land and France, to punish their perfidy in aid- ing and abetting the attempted dismemberment of the American republic. By the termination of our civil strife we will have eight hundred thousand of the beat troops in the world; acd in order to give them congenial employment, and to afford a legitimate field for the ambition of our enerals by directing it against a foreign foe instead of a domestic one, and in order to weld the North and South into a unit, a foreign war is necessary to our safety; and none can be more just or opportune than a war with England and France, by which we will inevi- tably drive one of these Powers out of Canada and the other out of Mexioo, and thus chastise their duplicity and meanness in taking advan- tage of our troubles. Let war, therefore, be de- clared against them at once, and there will be no longer any need ef a conscription; there will be twice as many volunteers as will be required to whip from this continent the Western Powers of Europe, and to teach them a lesson they will not be likely to forget for the balance of the present century. By adopting this policy the American republic will become greater and more united ‘than it ever was before, and it will hold a higher place in the scale of nations than it occupied in its most palmy days. But unless this is promptly done we fear that another chapter will be soon opened in our his- tory which will find its parallel in the later civil wars of the Roman republic, in which its successful generals wielded in mutual destruc- tion the forces which had conquered the known world. unable to raise any force beyond that made up from some of (he broken fragments of Pember- ton’s army and some scanty reinfureements from Mobile, Savannab and Chorleston, Let us onty hear anthoritatively the good news-- whieh cannot long be delayed—that our heroic Army of the Potomac has overhauled and roughly demolished the rebel army of Virginia, and we will undertake to promise our readers of all parties thet the government wi! soon be enabled to relieve them of all their fears of our Northern conscription. The American and Roman meen J Remarkable Mistorical Paranel There are many features in our history simi- lar to that of the ancient republic of Rome. The seditions and wars of the Gracchi have their resemblance. But the “social war” in Italy is more remarkably in point. To that chapter in the history of the Roman republic the origin, progress and probable solution of our civil war present a most extraordinary parallel, At the termination of the last Punic war, Rome, like the American republic, was in the zenith of her glory. She had conquered al! Italy and planted her standards in Sicily, Gaul, Spain, Greece, Africa and Asia. At this time controversy arose between the republic and various States of Italy which had .revolted against her because she refused them the full rights. of Roman citizenship. The insurrection was the more formidable because the insurgents were perfectly acquainted with the military dis- cipline of the Romans. In early times Rome had adopted the system of extending the franchises of Rome to the sur- rounding nations which bad submitted to her sway. But this system ceased at the end of the first Punic war, because the original Romans feared they would be outvoted by the new citi- zens. This was a fatal error. Had they con- tinued the old liberal policy, Rome and Italy would have been spared a war in which the flower of their population perished. Italian citizens, however, residing at Rome, bad been allowed, by sufferance rather than by right, to exercise the privileges of Roman citizens. All at once, just when the Italians expected to be placed on a footing of equality with the Romans, a law was passed, at the instigation of two distinguished Romans, ordering all Italian citizens at Rome to cease usurping the privi- leges of Roman citizens. At this all Italy took fire. Eight nations, including the Samnites and Marcians, formed a confederacy which they called Italica, and declared Corfinium to be their capital, and their purpose to blot out Rome. They elected consuls like the Romans, and vigorously prepared for war. They first drew up a statement of their claims and sub- mitted it to the Roman Senate. They said that, though they had furnished two- thirds of the army that conquered the world, they were treated like aliens. The Senate temporized by granting a portion of the demand, thus hoping to gain over the wavering and the lukewarm, instead of mag- nanimously yielding the whole. It was not satisfactory, and the confederates resorted to violence and blood ito precipitate the war. They established a mint, and issued coin with the inscription in the Oscan language instead of the old Latin. They even resorted to the desperate measure of seeking the alliance of Mithridates, @ powerful Asiatic monarch, then at war with Rome, who told them to hold out firmly; that he was at present engaged in expelling the Ro- mans from Asia, and when that work was done he would cross the sea and assist them in crush- ing the she wolf of Italy. But he came not. His promises were like those made to the Southern confederacy by England and France. The first efforts of the Tealian confederacy were desultory and feeble, | inti @ brave and skilful general arose who gave them de- cided success. The Senate was taken com- pletely by surprise by the outbreak. The Roman armies were terribly defeated, and the Consul Rutilius, the commanding general, killed in the first great battle. In a subsequent battle the Consul Cato fell, and the city of Rome was threatened with destruction. At last old Ma- rius, the veteran general of Rome, the Wintield Scott of that time, stayed the progress of the rebel arms; but being secretly friendly to the confederate States, because he had so often led their troops to victory, and did not wish to see the material of future armies wasted, he pre- ferred to remain on the defensive, in the hope that the trouble would be settled by negotia- tion. Plutarch attributed bis inactivity to bis age and corpulency. But Sylla, a young and ambitious general, of great ability, aided by other young generals, overthrew the confede- rates disastrously at various points; their armics were crushed, and several States submitted, though the Samnites still held garrisoned towns, and the Spolians occupied strong positions in the mountains. In this condition of things, and after three hundred thousand of the youth of Ttaly had fallen in the most disastrous and de- structive war ever waged by Rome, the Senate conceded at last more than was demanded at first, which will probably be the finale of our own struggle. But after this question was settled and Rome was disengaged from domestic strife Sylla had leisure to prosecute a foreign war, and he set out with an expedition against Mithridates, King of Pontus, implacable as Hannibal in his hatred to Rome. There was a war pending ‘with him which must be finished, and he must be punished for his encouragement of the Italian revolt against Rome. It was be- sides the well known policy of the Roman republic after troubles at home to embark in a foreign war, in ordor to unite the people, give employment to the army and afford free scope to the military ambition of the generals. Sylla defeated Mithridates by sea and land ina war of three years, adding vast provinces to the republic, and Rome shone with greater splendor than ever. Thus the so-called Confederate States of A merica revolted from the American republic in the very heyday of its power, after it had humbled England and Mexico and its flag was respected in every sea. They revolted because the party in power refused to concede to them the equat rights of American citizens in the Territories. By their knowledge of our arms and discipline, and by their adopting a form of government like our own, they became truly formidable. Like the Italian confederates, they defeated our armies in numerous battles, and The Opera and the Watering Places. Most of our operatic celebrities have left the city and are recruiting at the watering places. Maretzek and his forces are encamped upon Staten Island, where Garibaldi made candles and dreamed of Italy regenerated. Brignoli has announced his intention to make Newport his headquarters and to devote himself exclu- sively to ‘his horses, Manager Grau, having discovered more gold mines in the West than the Chevalier Jewett has in Colorado, sailed. for Europe yesterday to procure a prima donna and two or three other first class artists. Thus reinforced, he will return to New Yori next fall, give opera in some theatre for three ov four weeks, by way of advertisement, and {!cn fol- low the star of empire westward and exchange his musical notes for greenbacks or solid specie in Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis and other smaller towns. At about the same time Ma- retzek will reopen the Academy of Music with the magnificent Mazzoleni and his splendid company, and Medori will again visit this country, bringing with her Signor Petrella, the composer of “Ione,’”’ and a new opera written especially for this city. The operatic prospects for next winter are therefore unusually bril- liant. Beyond the presence of these singers the watering places present nothing worthy of record this season. About one hotel at each place is full ; but the other houses are but little patronized. Our expectations of a dashing and successful season have been disappointed, and the shoddy aristocracy has succumbed to cir- cumstances. The rebel invasion of Pennsylva- nia, the unexpected enforcement of the national conscription and the recent tiots in this city and elsewhere have suddenly checked the exodus to the watering places, and caused the summer hotel keepers to curse their adverse fates and unlucky stars as roundly as poor Greeley abuses Governor Seymour. Besides the rebels and the rioters, there is another reason for this comparative failure of the season. A great many sensible people have adopted the good advice which the Heratp has reiterated from year to year, and have resolved to pass the heated term on country farms, or at secluded villages, or in quiet villas, leaving the fashionable haunts to their glory and dissipa- tions. That this is much better than the old way cannot be denied. The people of New York do not need to go to the seaside or to medicinal springs. They are at the seaside here at home, and if they require the water of any of the springs they can obtain it by sending to the druggist, without the trouble and expense of stopping for the season at a watering place hotel, where more health is lost in @ single night of fashionable folly than can be gained by a month of water drinking. For change of air, therefore, New Yorkers must push inland to the mountains, to the woods and to the green fields, and there lay in a stock of health with which to defy the doctors for another year. Those who are kept in town, either by busi- ness or by fear of a renewal of the riots, which the radical journals seem so anxious to effect, or by anxiety to be on hand when the conscrip- tion is put in force, find the city is not destitute of attractions. The Park is now more beauti- ful than ever, and although deserted, except by fugitive negroes, during the reign of terror last week, it already begins to be crowded by its usual throngs of delighted visitors. Rich and poor alike appreciate and enjoy the varied cbarms of the Park—its splendid drives, its pleasant walks, its cool and shady rambles, its miniature lakes, its thousands of fragrant flowers and ite clioice collection of natural cu- riosities, which will roon be so increased, we hope, as to form a zoologieal and botani- cal garden. In spite of the ravings of certain silly journals, New York has sel- dom been more quiet and peaceful than at present, and there is probably no place on the continent where so much enjoyment may be had for so small an expenditure of time and money. Our readers at the watering places must not suppose, therefore, that they are hav- ing all the pleasure to themselves. When this affair of the draft is properly arranged, as it doubtless will be in a very few days, every- thing will resume its usual course, and by the lst of August the summer season will be more generally observed by our citizens. Then the watering places may have a brief month of crowds aud prosperily; and by the time the fashionables have returned home and the they threatened Washington itself and the ex- | shoddy aristocrats are again comfortably set- istence of the republic.

The Portland affair gives as a precedent which should not soon be forgotten. The time bas come when « «pecial Geet should be organized for the purpose of pre- venting any disasters to our cities and towns by a dash of the enemy. These vewels should be fast, well armed, and provisioned for a sixty days’ cruise, with coal bunkers filled, and ready to get up steam and leave port in an hour after receiving intelligence of a demand for their services ; and there is ne reason why sech @ squadron should not be prepared immediately. England has her channel fivet, France has bers; and, in addition to these powerful auxiliaries, they both have a system of coast guards, which can at any time be rendered serviceable. Something should be done immodiately to secure our great commercial por from the ravages of the rebels, and the sooner it is done the better it will be for us. It is true the State authorities are moving in the matter; but their efforts must necessarily be slow and not fully equal to an emergency which may come upon us before they have completed their work. It has been long a matter of surprise among naval officers that a squadron has not been organized for the seacoast defences of the North, and none of them can assign any reason why it was not done long ago, except from the fact that the he of the Navy Department does not under- id his business, or that, being in Washington, aay by a large army and a sufficient naval force, he feels perfectly secure. Steps should be immediately taken to or- ganize such a squadron, so that we may be secured against a sudden dash of the enemy into our ports. “If the navy cannot furnish the ships, the department should give our merchants an opportunity to protect themselves by allowing them to organize a flotilla which will protect our harbors, and at the same time aid in ridding our coast of these daring privateers. Ewp or tue Morgan Rarp—Caprrvrs, oF THe Reset Forcr.—We publish this morning a de- spatch from General ate to General ad ba aanouncitig th ig the capture of the remain- ’3 band, to the number of two thousand. It is dated from Geiger’s creek, on the Ohio river, which, though not on the maps, is, we take it, somewhere between Pomeroy and Gallipolis, in the neighborhood of the ford- ing places where the rebels were endeavoring to cross. When brought to a stand a show of resistance was made; but after a short parley a surrender was resolved upon. This was under- stood on both sides to include Morgan himself; but while the arrangement was being perfect- ed the guerilla chief contrived to slip away with a few followers. Our forces are, however, in hot pursuit after him, and but little doubt is entertained of his ultimate capture. Thus ends an expedition which caused a good deal of disquietude to the people of Ohio and Indiana, but which, thanks to their energy and promptness, bas been brought to a disastrous close. The rapidity with which in the former State forty thousand and in the latter thirty thou- sand volunteers were raised to repel the invaders is exceedingly creditable to both. The results of the adventure will, we think, put an end to all further attempts of a similar kind, as it will convince these marauders that nothing which they may succeed in carrying away with them will compensate for the risks they run. They are Very different affairs from the raids of Stoneman and Grierson, because, the enemy's lines once broken throiigh, our cavalry have nothing to fear from a population deprived of its male protectors and composed almost en- tirely of women and children. In our Western States the enemy have to encounter a dense male population just as hardy and daring as themselves, and the taste which they have just had of their quality will effectually discourage them from repeating such hazardous enterprise. Tar New Yore Weexty Heraty.—The Werx- ty Herat is increasing in circulation with the greatest rapidity, owing to the care with which it is edited and the very low price at which it is sold.

The correspond- ence from the seat of war and from all parts of the world is from the pens of the well known and able writers for the Dany Heratp, and is ever reliable and interest- ing.

THE DRAPT IN NEW YORE.

A REMINISCRNOR OF OUR SIFOR) AND CAPTCRE® OF REBEL STRONG HOLDA, ‘The recommendation in a Charleston paper that the siege of Charleston shall be rained, os was that of Rich. mond, ty six days fighting at the point of the bayonet, has ied to an exsmination of the terms of time that have been employed in sieges. General Grant was forty-seven days before Vick-burg. and General Bunks invested Port Hudson im the last days of June. and the Place was surrendered on the 8th of July. These are the only places where the garrisons have suifered from want of focd. The firat place that stood siere any lencth of time was Island No. 10, which was invested about the middle of March, and was evac.ated on (he 8th of April. Fort Pulaski surrondered six weets after itd cbmlnvunien” tion was cut of from Sivanoch. Newbern waa capraced in the middie of March; but Fort Macom held out entire until the 25th of the succeeding month The first demonstrations were made against Yorktown on April 6, 1863, and it was evacusted om the Chird of May. General McClellan completed the building of rowas and bridges 80 a* to cross the Chickabominy im the first days of Jano, and he was driven from the in- trenchod works before Richmond on the last of the same month. General Halleck occupied some weeks in od- vaneing upon Corinth, through a swampy country, by regular approaches, It took weeka to reduce Bimter ond the rebels gave up im despair ail hope of taking Fort Pickens, ADMIRALS FARRAGUT AND PORTER. No new orders have been issued recently interfering with the respective daties of Admirals Farragut and fer. ter. The former was long ago aesigned t» the command of the Western Blockading #juadron, and the jutwer to the command of the Missiseippl. Therefore the rumor is with reference t an oid fact.
