The official report of General Gillmore to the War Department, describing the capture of Fort Wagocr and Battery Gregg, was received yester- day. He says that on the night of Saturday the sappers crowned the crest of Fort Wagner on ite 60a front, and orders were issued to take it by assault at nine o’clock next morning, that being the hour of low tide. The enemy, however, aban- doned the place during the night, and all escaped from Cummings’ Point except seventy-five, who were captured in a boat. Fort Wagner is de- scribed by General Gillmore a8 a most formidable defence. It was garrisoned by fourteen hundred men, under command of Colonel Keitt, of South Carolina. The harbor and city of Charleston, he suys, are now completely covered by his guns. Nineteen guns were captured at Fort Wagner. The rebel flag was still flying on Sumter up to Tuesaday night; but only a few men remained there and no guns were visible. Five Monitors and the Ironsides were firing on the batterics Bee and Beauregard, from five o'clock on the morning of ‘Tuesday until two in the afternoon. A shell from one of the Monitors exploded in the magazine of Fort Moultrie, considerably and probably rendering the fortifica- damaging the southern parapet tion untenable. The capture of Chattanooga by the forces of General Rosecrans is fully confirmed. A special despatch from Newton, Ga., to Cincinnati, dated the 9th, says:—"At twelve o'clock to-day General Crittenden took peaceable possession of Chatta- nooga, and General Wood was put in command of the pla The principal portion of the rebel infantry left Chattanooga the same day, the cavalry remaining till next day, The strategy of General Rosecrans, whereby the evacuation of Chattanooga was ren- dered necessary, cannot be too highly regarded. Without any considerable loss of life, but simply by a well arranged plan which Mis fine military mind conceived, and his cool judgment helped to execute, the city fell into our possession, and Ten- nessee was placed virtually at our disposal, Cumberland Gap, which was held by General Frazer with two thousand rebels and fourteen pieces of artillery, surrendered, at four o’clock on Senator Charles Sumner delivered aa oration last night at the Cooper Inatitute on the relations Of this country with foreign Powers—a subject of great interest at the present moment. It wasa remarkable discourse, and waa listened to by a large concourse of people. We give a full report of it in our columns to-day, Our latest news from the city of Mexico, by way of San Francisco, ia to the sth ult. The tri- umvirate had notified the representatives of fo- reign Powers that a legal government had been established in Mexico, and required @ recognition of the powers vested in them. The miniatera of the United Statea and of Ceutral America, how: ever, replied that they should continue to recog- nize the Juarez government until they received in- structions from home. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. The Democratic State Convention at Albany yesterday adopted a platform, nominated a ticket for State officers and adjourned sine die.

Judge Cadwalader, of the United States Dis- trict Court of Pennsylvania, in a case before him on Wednesday last, delivered 8 decision declaring the Enrolment act constitutional. This, we be- lieve, is the first judicial opinion on this important subject. Bermuda papers of the 2d instant have been receivad, but they contain no news. The rebel steamer Eugenia, from Wilmington, N. C., with four hundred and one bales of cotton, arrived at St. George on the 25th ult. The rebel State government of Mississippi, at last accounts, ws in Noxubee county, onthe Ala- bama border, five hundred miles from the capital. That of Missouri was at Little’Rock, in Arkansas. The Governor and State officers of Louisiana were on board of an old steamboat up one of the bayous of the Mississippi river, and Gov. Isham G. Harris, with the archives of Tennessee, was some- where in the mountains in the northern part of Alabama, Substitutes are scarce in New Haven, Connecti- cut, and all the drafted men who desire to stay at home find it necessary to pay the three hundred dollars. ‘The London Globe of the 28th of August says:— The final deposits of £330 on the part of Mace and £220 on the part of Goss were made in the stakeholder’s hands this day, for. their pugilistic encounter, at 10 st. 101b., for £1,000, in which Mace stakes £600 to his opponent's £400. Both men are in active training—Mace at Finchley and Goss at Ash Common, Aldershot—and are represented to be in the finest possible condition. ‘The betting is in favor of Mace, at the odds of five and six to four. The Levant Herald of August 26, says:— The local American colony on the Bosphorus has, we are informed, subscribed $2,000 in aid of the fund being raised for the widows and orphans of the federal troops killed since the commencement of the civil war. The Chamber of Commerce called a special meeting for yesterday; but only two members at- tended, and no business could be transacted. Ad- journed till Thursday next. In the Court of General Sessions yesterday, be: fore City Judge McCunn Maggie Williams, @ good looking young woman, about twenty years of age, was tried and convicted on an indict- ment charging her with having stolen forty-two dol- lars in United States Treasury notes from John Jones, a returned volunteer, while in her company in a house of ill fame, on the 10th of July last. Maggie was sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years, and while leaving the court endeavored to tay violent hands on the complainant, which the officers having her in charge fortanately prevent- ed, Samuel Hogan was convicted of assault and battery, on an indictment charging him with hav- ing stabbed Francis Kelly with a knife, on the Ist of Angust last. He was remanded for sen- tence. Bridget Heffern was then placed on trial, onan indictment for arson, which charged her with having set fire to Montgomery Hall, in Prince street, on the night of the 14th of May last. Daring the opening remarks of Mr. O. L. Stuart, Assistant District Attorney, Bridget got very much excited, and made two attempts to assault the wituesses for the prosecution. The officers inter- fered each time, before any mischief was done, and on the conclusion of the opening address the case was adjourned until this morning at eleven ovclock, A man named Hugh Divine was committed by United States Commissioner Stilwell yesterday, on a charge of altering a Treasury note of the deno- mination of £20 to a $50, and attempting to pass it. The stcek market was lower yesterday morning, ard rathor better ia the afternoon, without any indications of bnoyancy. Gold fluctnaed between 130% and 131%, sing at five P.M. at 19034. Exchange wast4d a 14414. Money was not particularly active; the rate for call loans was 7 per cent, Cotton was heavy and tending in favor of buyers yes terday. A fair business was reported In trade brands of flour, desirable lots of which were steady, while old and | inferior grades were depressed and unsettled in price. ‘The wheat market was lower and leas active. Corn was rather casver and less freely sought after. Oats were liberally purchased at higher figures. There was lees doing in provisions, and more in i's, whiskey and g-oceries, but prices generally exhibited no very im- portant changes. A good inquiry existe1 for hay, hops, wool, tobacco, umber, dry goods, and boots and shoes, at buoyant prices. Naval stores were dull and lower, Freights were heavy and rates declining. Rat_roap MisMaNaGeMENt.—Since the Meaars. Wednesday, to Gen. Shackleford, who commands General Burnside’s advance, Our forces now hold the Gap. The news from Arkansas is important.

Official intelligence of the capture of Fort Smith, Arkansas, was also received at Leaven- worth yesterday, The rebels, four thousand under Generala Cooper and Cabell, fled General Blont and dispersed in all di- General Davidson met the rebels at Bayow Metoir, nine miles from Little Rock, on the 27th ult., and drove them across the creek. The rebels, who were three thousand strong, burned the bridge behind them and betook themselves to The abandonment of Little Rock must have immediately followed this movement. We give a most interesting history of affairs in the South to-day, in the shape of extracts from the Richmond, Savannah, Mobile and «, from the 28th ult. up to the 8th inst, atrong, before rections, the woods journals of Augusta, ‘The militaty policy of Jef. Davia, to concentrate the rebel armies in a few important points, is atrenuously advocated. So also is the proposition to employ slaves as soldiers, Jerome have had control of the Hudson River Railroad its management. bas undergone a marked change for the worse. The time table is no longer adhered to, the cars are kept in the filthiest condition, and there is an insuffi- ciency of accommodation for the passenger traf- fic on the road. This line requires speoial at- tention to be paid to these three essentials. It is almost like @ city railroad, a considerable portion of its revenue being derived from the large class of business people who have gesi- dences along the river, and who can only in- dulge this suburban taste as long as unfailing regularity in the travelling arrangements is assured them. If, in addition to disappoint. ments in point of time, they are compelled to put up with filthy and overcrowded cars, in which it requires a struggle to secure a seat, the pleasure of a country residence will be so dearly purchased that but few will care for it. It is evident that the Messrs. Jerome understand very little about railroads, or they would see that the very means they are taking to increase the revenue of the line will ultimately kill it, Economy is @ good thing; but it may be car. ried too far. In railroad management a judi- cions liberality of exnenditure will alwovs repay itself. The Crista of the Hebellion—Future Views North and Seuth. ‘The rebellion is beginning to totter. Gill- more and Rosecrans are’ undermining it. Be- fore long we hope to hear that treason has de- eerted the South, aa Beauregard bas evacuated Morris Island, And as Bragg bas evacuated Chat- tanooga. This is just the season for fighting. Victories come to us with the ripe fruits of autumn, A few blows more, and the bogus confederacy will fall into ruins, like Fort Sumter after a bombardmeat by Gillmore’s guns. Already "we begin to hear cries for peace from’ rebel throats. Hitherto the peace party has found advocates at tho North only; and a very contemptible party it has been. Now, however, the South is beginning to talk about peace. North Caro-' lina is anxious for peace, The officers of the rebel army tell our officers that peace is near athand. There are rumors that General Lee has gone to Richmond to arrange for peace. This is peace of the right sort. It is not a cop- perhead peace. It is not prepared according to Ben. Wood’s recipe. It is peace through the submission of the seceded States to the national authority. It if reunion. All the braggadocio of Beauregatd cannot save Oharleston from capture. He still holds the ruins of Sumter; but he has surrendered the whole of Morris Island, including Forts Wag- ner and Gregg, and we have blown up the ma- gazine of Fort Moultrie. We believe that Beau- regard is really evacuating Charleston, and that our forces can go in and take possession as soon as the navy is ready to move. The only reason that Sumter is held is that Beauregard hopes to blow up a few of our men by explod- ing the magazine when we land there. That is the covert, cowardly meaning of his hint to Admiral Dahlgren that “he can have Fort Sum- ter when he takes it and holds it.” The rebels strewed the streets of Yorktown with torpe- does. Beauregard is doubtless preparing some such infernal devices to leave bebind him in Charleston. This will be characteristic of the man and of his style of fighting; but it will not prevent Charleston from falling into our hands. These unmanly, unwarlike, despica- ble contrivances are as true a sign in their way of the failure of the rebel cause as the more direct evidences of the calls for peace. So much for the situation South; and as for the West, Rosecrans is doing his work nobly. Bragg, as usual, runs away from our Army of Tennessee. This army has never been defeated, and Bragg has never dared to face it. Ifhe did he would certainly be badly beaten. Let him keep on running until peace is declared, and he will save himself, if not his reputation.

They © hastened to. - accord which will succeed. ‘ Three-fourths of the army them unequivocal’ sympathy, They were and the wholeof the navy are composed of con- servatives. The people will support that party at the polls which is supporting the Union on the battle field. Neither copperheads nor nig- gerheads stand any chance now. They are about as numerous and have about as much influence here. as in the army. No political conventions will adopt their rotten platforms. The result of the election in Kentucky shows how the great Central States will vote. Neither the niggerheads, who caused the war and who have prolonged the war, nor the capperheads, who desired to end the war by submitting to Jeff. Davis and recognizing the confederacy, will ever again secure even a show of power. The political future is certain. New York will sustain the conservatives and de- feat the radicals by a tremendous majority. The other States will wheel into line with New York. There will be a revolution at the North-a revolution not bloody, but irresistible—not by riots, but by the ballot box. Oursoldiers have doubly saved the country—first by putting down the revel- lion, and next by securing the success of the conservative party and its principles. We do not care to speculate upon the future policy of the administration. That will be dic- tated by events, and the imbeciles in power will have no choice but to obey. The Confis- cation, Emancipation, Conseription and nity acts are not worth the paper upon which they are written. They have served the pur- pose for which Providence designed them, in disgusting the whole people with the radicals and their programme. When the North and South ate again united these measures will be swept into oblivion with the authors of them. This administration will soon. be a thing of the past, and we can let the dead bury their ead while we look at our glorions future. The United States will have an army of over @ million of men, and a navy of one hundred thousand sailors, five hundred vessels and five thousand guns, wheu peace is declared. This force is composed of veterans, splendidly disciplined and equipped. We must employ this army and navy; and, fortunately, the work is ready for our bands. England is our debtor for her assistance to the rebellion and the injury she has inflicted upon us by her piratical cruisers. This account must be settled, and the seizure of Canada will about balance our books. France has trampled upon the Monroe doctrine by forcibly estab- lishing a monarchy in Mexico. This doc- trine must be reasserted by the expulsion of the French troops and the revival of the Mexi- can republic. This is the task we have to per- form. We must teach Europe the lesson which the old French republic failed to teach. By entering upon these ware as soon as the rebel lion is over we shall avoid all criminations recriminations between the North and South, and give the mutual wounds caused by our civil war time to heal and be forgotten. Policy and justice alike incite us to this course, which will again make our country feared and re- spected abrosd, united, prcePerene and peace- ful at home. McCix.an’s Rerort.—Now that this long expected document is furnished, the radical organs are nervously apprehensive lest the War Department should be indiscreet enough to allow its publication. The only thing they can urge against thie is its inordinate length, the report, they say, containing from sixty to seventy thousand words, and the accompany- jing documents five times as mach. Seeing that for two long years McClellan bas silently sub- mitted to their attacks, has offered no word of remonstrance against their calumnies, and awaited patient!y his time of justification, this measurement by words of his right of defence is carrying party spite toa pitifulextreme.

European Intervention 1 American Affairs—Its Consequences. The French Revolution, ia the last century, was the commencement of the struggle which intelligence and @ spirit of progress undertook against the blind enoroachments of despotism upon the rights of mankind. Asa firat effort, it was necessarily crude and uncertain, and when it had attained success it fell from the mere fact that the people were unable to appreciate the inestimable benefits and advantages of self- government. After having succesafully com- batted all Europe, France fell into the arms of the Corsican adventurer, Napoleon, merely because she waa fearful of the future, and, hav- ing gained her liberty, knew not how to useit. When the republic of France became an em- pire the despots of Entope breathed mote lightly. They felt that for the time being @ great danger, menacing their continuance of power— nay, their very existence —had passed away for the moment, and they revelled in the conviction of returning safety. But thé fiat against them and their bad rule had gone forth, and in the far Weat a new re- public was making gigantic strides towards the attainment of power and influence. The time came at last when this republic, the United States of America; loomed over all the empires, monarchies and aristocracies of Eu- Tope as a perpetual, an inevitable ménace. The tyrannized people of the Old World saw the power and prosperity of the new government, and they envied and craved for’ similar institu- tions. It was evident, from the spread of this desire, that the period was fast approaching when all Europe would rise against her tyrants, and those in power quaked with fear. At this moment, and in the hour of its greatest pres- perity, the American republic was assailed by traitors. A few madmen, blind to the com- monest instincts of self-preservation, undertook in a fatal hour to destroy our glorious Union. Taking advantage of the ravings of our foolish and nearsighted abolitionists and negro-wor- shippers, the traitors at the South fanned their infernal, treacherous blaze until it ignited a large portion of our land. In the light of this accursed bonfire the deapots of Europe danced and revelled. They hastened to throw fuel upon the fire; for they foresaw in the results of the In spite of these adverse circumstances, the country are aware of the advantages and benefits ot self-government, and, having fought for them, they will maintain them. It is now ill Mt will and malice we shall repay not by words. We shall With a and France will obey. Bat worse results muet accrue to the Western drivea from this continent. Their subjects, when they see the American republic rising ousthan ever, will feel renewed desires for a like form of government, and then we shall see the thrones of Europe crumble, and the whole monarchical edifice will be revolutionized. We shall then hear no more of kingdoms and em- pires. Republics will become universal, and mankind shall enjoy the benefits of liberal and constitutional governments, and this as the di- rect result of the American rebellion, which the despots of Europe fondly hoped was the death knell of this hated republic. As for Napoleon, who in our hour of need stole upow this continent, he shall find that Mexico will be, as we have so often asserted, his Moscow—the utter ruin of himself and of his dynasty. Those who have opposed or assailed us in our time of trouble shall be taught a bitter lesson when we shall have crushed the rebellion and recon- structed the Union. Able then to deal with our foes, we shall do so relentlessly; for we have met with. save deceit and treachery. The lesson is bitter: its fruits shall be as gall; and who inculcated it—let them beware. Governor Seymour anv tHe Henaiy Prat- yoru.—Our Albany correspondent assures us that Governor Seymour came up to the Heratp platform in his recent speech. This is a very great mistake. Our correspondent must be very much muddled about Seymour. He is nowhere near our platform yet. We drummed him on, after @ great deal of trouble, in order to defeat Wadsworth; but as soon as we had elected him he slid off our platform and tumbled down into the mire with the Alban Regency. Since then he has been equally dis- tinguished for imbecility and verbosity. He can talk more without saying anything and write more without meaning anything than any other man we know. He might be pitted against Seward for interminable and against the inane and in- sane Wilson, of Massachusetts, for silly, long- winded speeches. He showed his lack of ex- ecutive ability by not filling up the quota of New York by volunteers in leas than a month after the Conscription act was passed. This a clever Executive could easily have done, and so avoided all trouble. He showed his lack of sense by bis foolish reply to General Dix’s let- tor asking him to preserve the public peace. Inatoad of telling General Dix that arranes- | tish squadron in those waters. Of late this glorious vic ments for that purndes were already he told him that he had wringn to the dent to postpone the draft. Generel Dix once saw his advantage, and qmetly jgnored Seymour and filled the city with United States troops. For these and other reasons we con- sider Seymour not much of s man, and a0 Governor at all. Let our Albany correapond- ent be more discriminating in future, and take care not to mix up the Hszatp platform and Governor Seymour again. 2 Waar Iumraration 13 Domo vor Us.—There are some facts connected with the immense in- orease in immigration, to which we recently called attention, which afford special subject for congratulation, We learn from the officials at Castle Garden that of the immigrants who are arriving here there is a larger number be- tween the ages of sixteen and thirty than was ever known at any former period. Of these the major portion are, of course, agricultural and railroad hands; but the number of skilled artisads is also unusually large. - As s general thing these iatter bring eome little means with them, and refuse to accept any other occupation than that to which they are accustomed. The high wages offered in’ our collieries have also brought over a considerable number of miners, who are whipped up by employers as soon as they arrive. These men oan average easily from two and a half to three dollars a day. Of factory hands, especially frox, the cotton mills in Lancasbire, there is a large influx. Although they come over here prepared to ac- cept work of any kind, there is a prospect that they will readily find ® place at their old em- ployments. Many of our cotton factories, which bad suspended on account of the svarcity and dearness of the raw material, are now altering their machinery so as to be en- abled to compete with the English mannu- facturers in the finer description of fabrics, This was a result to be anticipated from the high duties levied by the new tariff, and, inasmuch as the difficulties created in their nianufacture abroad by the blockade are driving over here all the best mill bands, an immense impetus will be given to it in this country, It need not be apprehended that the suppression of the rebellion will at all affect the prospects o’ the emigrant by throwing back upon us the bands that have gone to the war. Leaving aside the fact that every addition to the popu- lation creates a corresponding demand for labor to supply its wants, it may safely be an- ticipated that for some years to come there wilt be no considerable diminution in the aggre- gate of our military force, and consequently Do superfluity of industrial labor. If the South ia to be subjugated, it will require large garri- sons to keep it under; if it is restored'on such terms as will ‘insure ‘its willing obedience, we shall have full employment for the force that is now in the field in chastising England and France for the mean advantage which they have taken of usin our difficulties. It will thus be seen that the advance that we have made towards the position of a first class military nation will retard in no degree cur industrial progress. On the contrary, that which our European enemies predicted would insure our ruin promir+s to render us more commercially independeat and powerful than ever.
