Watmrxcron, August 25,, 1363... EFFROT OF THE GOOD NEWS FROM CHARLESTON — EXPECTED FALL OF CHATTANOOGA—THE BEBEL CAUSE HOPELESS, ‘The flags were hoisted over the War and Navy Depart- “ments to-day on the receipt of the good news from Charleston, telegraphed from Fortress Monroe this fore- ‘noon, Coming, as it docs, through rebel sources, it is fully credited, and it is believed that the news will be moro than verified by the next arrival from Charleston harbor. The friends of the Union cause have been made jubi- lant by these reports; and by the news of Rosecrans’ ad- vance on Chattanooga, which it is not probable can long be held by the demoralized¢roops under Bragg. ‘The most bigoted secessionists here concede that the rebel cause is hopeless, and that policy and common sense alike dictate that the people of the South should, by an early submission, secure for themselves reinstatc- ment in the Union upon the most favorable terms. ARREST OF C. EDWARDS LESTER. C. Edwards Lester, Clerk in the War Department, was arrested last Monday, at Harper’s Ferry, with important documents intended for the enemy in his possession. Lester is suspected of having been in commu- nication with the rebels for some time, and has doubtless given them much valuable intelligence. But a short time since a man was captured at Brentville Va,, while on his way to Richmend with despatches from some one in the War!

THE GUERILLAS ACTIVE. Notwithstanding the lesson administered to the guer!l- las who infest the Chesapeake and Ohio canal a few days since, they made their appearance again yesterday on the tow path about twenty five miles above Georgetown. They appeared in squads of fifteen or twenty; but as they were told by the boats they hailed that other ‘boats were near at hand with troops on board they did no damage. An active pursuit of the guerilla bands which ‘infest the country in the vicinity of our lines is constantly kept up by our cavalry, and more or less of them are daily captured; but owing to their peculiar sys tem of operations, and the fact that the peaceable citi- zens by day become guerillas at night, it is exceedingly difficult to weed them out entirely or pravent occasional depredations by them. n NO REBELS ON THE LOWER POTOMAC. The steamer Baltimore, Captain Mitchell, arrived here this morning from Fortress Monroe. She reports that the enemy has not appeared upon’ the Potomac, reports to the contrary notwithstanding, and that thete are no indications ef new batteries at any point. Our flotilla has not been able to discover any rebels upon the Virginia shore, and the whole country wears an air of loneliness and desolation. UNION FEELING IN MISSISSIPPI. Mr. Casey, ex-member of Congress from Kentucky, has just reached here from Vicksburg.. He reports that the People of Mississippi are in a most wretched condition, and ready to accept.

In the Winchester case no ‘new facts have been developed since the testimony of Cojonel McReynolds, a synopsis of which has been given by the Hanarp, FRESH HORSES FOR THE CAVALRY. ‘The cavalry is being rapidly fitéed up with fresh horses of the best quality. Many of those in the service were totally unfit for such duty when purchased, and are now completely used up. None but strong, healthy horses, of mature age, are selected, and large numbers of ani- ‘mals are left ypon the hands of speculators, who expect- ed to fleece the government. Two thirds of those offered are rejected. The Three Million Ordinance Vetoed. IMPORTANT ACTION @F THE COMMON COUNCIL—THE BOARD OF COUNCILMEN PLEDGB THEMSELVES TO PASS THE ORDINANCE OVER THE MAYOR'S VETO. Both branches of the Common Council met yesterday to take into consideration the refusal of the Mayor to sign the $3,000,000 ordinance, which had previously passed both boards, and was only awaiting the sig- nature of the Executive of the city to become a law. As was expected, the Mayor vetoed the mea- sure, and, in a lengthy communication to tho Board of Councilmen his Honor gives sundry reasons for doing so. His arguments had but little weight with the Board, however, for they promptly pledged themselves to meet again at the expiration of ten days and pass the measure over the veto. The Board of Aldermen post- poned all action in the matter until to-day. Annexed is the communication of the Mayor:— Mayor's Orvics, New Youn, Angust.24, 1 To ru Hoxonante ty Boann or CoUxoriMg ee GEntixMEN—It is with sincere regret that I find myself constrained by @ sense of duty to return without ay val the measure originating in your Board entitled "An ordi- nance making additional provision fr sed families of a sons who may volunteer or be drafted into the m Vice of the United Btaten during the exiting cordance: es { chal 514 of the laws of 1863. and for other purposes.” I had hoped that informal conferences between members of the Common Council and myself might lead i: a coincidence of views and a corresponding modificath e ordiuaude. and thu failed it only remat: ‘There are, it neems to me, two purposes ba te the draft, and two only, for whic re mare oe clty treasury.
