THE SITUATION. ‘The Navy Department had no official knowledge yesterday that Forts Sumter and Wagner were in our possession, or that the old fiag was flying over the battered yamparts of the one or the sand walls of the other. The Richmond Despatch of yester- day publishes telegrams from Charleston on the 27th, which state that an attack of our troops on their rifle. pits on Wed- neaday night was made in overwhelming fgrce about seven o'clock; that the firing on ‘Thursday, from both sides, was slow, and that the bombardment of Sumter and Wagner on Friday Proceeded sluggishly. The despatches further state that at that time (Friday) our troops were working industriously in the trenches before Fort ‘Wagner, and that no farther attempt had been made to shell the city. These statements do not confirm the previous rumor, that Forts Sumter and Wagner were in possession of the federal troops on Monday last. Official information was received at General Heintzelman’s headquarters yesterday of the skir- mish, on Monday last, with Mosby’s guerillas near Yairfax, in which the rebel chief was said to be mortally wounded. Our loss was two killed, three wounded and nearly all the horses, number- ing eighty-five. Our news from North Carolina is interesting, A despatch from the blockading ficet states that on the morning of the 17th inst. steamer of fif- teen hundred tons, with the British flag flying, ran the blockade of Wilmington, N. C., in fall view of the United States federal vessels, and, after she got safely through the fleet, flung out the rebel flag. She was pierced for six guns, in addition te two pivot guns, and probably would receive an arma- mont and be ready to proceed to sea within s week. She is larger than the Alabama or Florida, and appeared to be very fast. A late number of the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard contains numerous reports of peace meetings throughout the State. The revolution there is fast ripening. On the authority of rebel papers weccived at Morehead Cfty, N. C., it is stated that Jeff. Davis is about to adopt a measure which would indicate that ho desires, to a certain extent, to anticipate Mr. Lincoln’s emancipation proclamation. The report is that he will isene a call, by advice of the Governors of the Southern tates, for half a million of negro troops, to whom their freedom will be guaranteed and a bounty of fifty acren of Jand will be given at the expiration of the war. By the arrival of the Pacific from Bermuda at this port yesterday we have some interesting and , dmportant news concerning the rebel privatecrs and blockade runners. On the 26th inst. the Pa- cific passed the rebel Florida, with a prize ship in tow. The contraband trade with the British West Indies is remarkably active. No less than twenty- five steamships are constantly ruening between Wilmington, N. C., Charleston, Mobile and Nassau. Thoy cargy for the most part rosin, cotton and naval stores for transhipment to Englaad, and take back, of course, all that the rebels require in the way of ‘arms, ammunition Vessele from England sre constant- | ly arriving at St. Georges, Nassau, and taking their place in the tine of blockade ruuners to Southern porte. One steamer arrived from Glasgow on the 29th ult. and another from London on the 31st. We learn by way of St. Louis that a mass mect- ing was eld in Leavenworth on Friday night to organize for the defence of Kansas. Jim Lane made a violent speech, exhorting the people to protect themselves. -The action of Gens. Ewing and Schofield was denounced, and the recall of the latter officer was demanded. General Ewing tele- Grapied Mr. Lane that he would defend Kansas, and Lane replied that he would have tive thousand tmen on the 8th of Beptember and would tender their ecrvices to General Ewing, and if rejected he would appeal toa higher power. The Weston (Mo.) Sentinel was Gentroyed oo Thureday night by a band of the Missourj militia. General Ewing has placed two companies of troopa in Platte City to protect the citizens there against the “ Aveng- ers” from Kansas. We have received despatches from New Orleans tw the 19th—-the first that bave yet come by the Missionippi river since navigation was opcned— which bring interesting news. Large combers of troops are coucentrating around there, for what purpose wae not known. Reports from Texas tate that there are st leaet one hundred vessels loaded with contraband cargoce for the rebeis of the Rio Grande. Bevoral of them are Dritish steamers, waiting for cotton which the rebel gov- ernment have cuatracted to deliver at Matamoras, to the extent of nine thousand bales, during the month of Anguat. ‘The draft baving been fnished in this city, noti- fiestions are vow being served on the conscripts to appear at the Provost Marshal's headquarters and present their exception claims, if they have any, or be forwarded @ the rendervous. ‘The Boards and supplies. of Enrolment will hold mectings to-morrow to de- Gereely turn upon those who brought such | show, first, that the North has tost rather than / shall a with honorable dealing.

The fact that receipts for the Index may be signed by “any of the official representatives or commissioned officers of the Confederate States” shows at once that the paper is a sort of official organ of the rebel government. This is equally evident from the contents of this “ weekly journal of (rebel) politics, literature and news.” The number before us opens with “Notes on Svents of the Week,” of which the principal are devoted to America. The editor says that, as the federal government has sent “ not less than five thousand” troops to New York, the riots will not be renewed. “A more formidable conflict, however, is impend- ing between the federal and State authorities, as our New York correspondent points out with great force and clearness.” Tirning to this New York correspondent’s letter, we find it entirely devoted to the impending conflict aforesaid. “The drafting will be effected,” we are told, “without any serious disturbance.

From Richmond the Index learns that “the Southern people measure fully the whole extent of the disaster (Vicksburg), and reso- lutely betake themselves to the supreme effort of retrieving it.” Before long they and his administration.

GOBNERAL MARTINDALE AND THE NEW YORK BERALD OFFICE SERENADED.

The New Yorn Hera: office was the recipient of witnessed the most unequivocal success of Adelina and Carlotta Patti, One of the London journals says;— Alter a campaign of four months, exteoding from Aprit to August, and including over seventy performances, the Royal [taltan Opera closed on Satorday week with a repe- tition of “ La Figlia del Reggimento,”’ ia which Mile, Adelina Patti again sustained the character of Maria with perfect success.

Evident- ly the Union men, the opponents of secession- ists, who claim Watts as their successful candi- date. It is to no purpose that an extreme se- cession paper, the Augusta (Ga.)

It is also mentioned as matter for great congratulation—‘‘the most im- portant item of intelligence”’—that ‘‘the day after the ‘opening of the Mississippi’ had been publicly celebrated in New’ Orleans a steamer arrived in that city riddled with Confederate balis.” The editor, then furnishes us with several interesting notes:—‘It is not probable,” says he, “that the South, as the North trembling- oppose the aggrandizement of the monarch she fears.

It is quite safe to conclude that Watts did not proclaim this sentiment, or the Georgia paper would be easily able to quote it. If he was aman of that stamp, whence the doubt among the secession- iste as to what bis sentiments are and were? They have not “the shadow of « shade” of doubt about Shorter.
