TUR FRELING AMONG CTFIGERS AND MEN. Last evening, in issuing bh ors for the assault which was to Rave taken place this morning, General Gilmore called the regimental commanders about bim, and in a few wel) chosen words explained to eacb of them the part he was expected to perform, The movements ef the enemy were just in season to avokl certaim cap- ture, and there is, naturalty enough, @ considerable de- gree of disappointment at his exeape. Nevorthelese, @ Dioodiees victory serves our cauee qnite as well ag if our eet men bad deen slaughtered in the eharge. Our efforts farrty entitle us to Wagner and Gregg, notwithstanding the boast of Beauregard a few days since that they were impregnable. By evacuating them In the darkness last night he tacitly acknowledged General Gillmore’s ability te take them; and this testimony 40 the irresistible power of our projectiles and the inevitable resalts of our eogi- ‘mecring operations is to us far more satisfactory than the dearly bought glory of a successful assault. HONORABLE MENTION. General Gilimoro’s Order No, 66 has hitherto prevented me from mentionmg the names of division and post com- manders. I may be violating it now in alluding to tho wervices of Brigadier General A. H. Terry, who, though yanking Genera) Gilmore, is still his second in command. ‘The spirit with which. he bas labored from the begin- ning of this campaign entitles him to the respect and ad- miration of the country. Qaring nothing for bimself, be bas worked diligently, day and night, for the success of earcause, The same may be said of Colonel J. W. ‘Borner, who, in addition to his onerous duties as chief of General Gillmore’s staff, has probably contributed more than any otber man to our success, Tho location of ear batteries and the direction of their fire they been almost wholly under his supervision. DEXCRIPTION OF TUS CAPTURED STRONGHOLD. Fort Wagner is an enclosed earthwork, built across Morris Ieland, tbree-fourths of a mile south of Cammings’ Pott, being the place of greatest width north of the Beacon House—i, ¢., two hundred and seventy-five yards from high tide to creek or marsh. Que hundred yards to the couth of thie fort the island marrows on account of the marsh sctting in from the west side to twenty yards at high tide, and about one hundred and fifty yards at low water. These facts make the sito of Fort Wagner ene of the strongest natural positions for defence on Morrie Island. P The length of crest is 760 yards. Fxcept that occupied dy gunp, It is arranged tor musketry defence throughout, Even the rears of the traverses have banquets. The supe- ror crest of the parapets looking to the south is about ten feet above the terreplein of the work. Except tne bomb. proof, which occupies the east side of the fort, the terre- pieip js a free and open space. The armament is, seaward, ‘two ten-jnch columbiads and one rifled gun; south face, nipe guns, on siege or field carriages; 1 southwest sa- Ment, next tne marsh, one eight-inch siege mortar. About five field guns were in the work, for interior defence. ‘The right or west half of the face, looking south, has ‘m0 gens, but is well arranged for infantry delivering its firo upon the flank of a column assaulting from the south. ‘The bompproof has at Jeast fifteen feet of earth and tim der on top, and henee cannot easily be broken through by shells, Ithas eight ontrances—one on each end and three on each side, Its rooms connect freely with each other, giving shelter to 1,500 to 2,500 men; but {t ts cxamped, hot and uncomfortable. From the seaward flank toward low water is an obsta- cle, consisting of incimed palisading, which dves not ex- tend far below high water mark, ‘To the rear of this ob stacle ts @ newly built light parapet for musketry, delivering a direct firo on the obstacle, with a position for afield piece Dearing im tho same direction. From the seaward flank, along the sea and sonth faces to the marsh, is a belt of ground in which are buried a number ef torpedoes, with a delicate exploding apparatus at- taghed, The fort bas two entrances or eallyports. The rain ore, near the nortiwast corner, is covered over and pro- tected from the pavy’s guns by a largo travoree. The other leads out towards the marali, near the southwest corner, ‘The traverses between tho seaward guns extend back and connect with the bombproof, baying passoges Sbrough them and affording communication between the sea face and bumbproof. The south and a part of the seaward faces of Fort Wagner, which cin deliver a fire en a force assaulting from the south, measure about three Bandred and sixty yards, and are so broken and pleced as Uborcugbly w defoud round and each other, Orr Mourns Istaxp, 8. C., Sept. 8, 1863. The answor of the rebel chieftain to Admiral Dabl- grev’s demand for the gurrenter of Fort Sumter was re- durped yesterday evening. Beauregard does not choose a8 yet to comply. At daylight this morning the frigato New Ironsides, accompanied by the Monitors, steamed in towards Fort Moultrie and commenced a most terrific bombardment of she Sullivan’s Island batteries, The atmosphere was very clear, and the eound of Commodore Rowan’s broadsides, mingling with the deliberate boom of the “turreted mon- stera’’ and the answering echoes of the guns on shore, lent to the scone an interest Ike that with which we watched the fight (a April lest. The flre from the Iron ides? aplendid batiery of eleven-inch and two bundred- pounder guos was extraordivarily rapid and well directed, bot was returned with great vigor by the enemy. Toward vom we noticed the Adntiral's tug going along- Gide the New Jroveides, wnd for a time it was feared that sho was damaged and coming out of action. She very ebortiy steamed in again, however, and is uow @ring | rapidly.

OONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT—CO-ORDINATB BRANCHES. Although carefully covered over with the mantle of secresy by Congress, evough has been disclosed by stern realities to show the total incompetency of President Davis to govern the affairs of the confederacy. He has the confidence of both the army and the people; and if an election to-morrow was to come off for the Presi- dency, we believe that he would not get the vote of single state in the confederacy. Yet if the Provi- sional gress had done its duty—if the present Con- gress would do its duty—President Davis could readily be driven into a course of efficiency. He ts President of the not been proved to be inadequate to ities, He can be controtied and ai Srawiree ts Great Britain is. That government is a constitutional , having co-ordinate brancher. In Great Britain, policy of the government, no cabinet advisers, can stand against the expreased opinion of the House of Com- mons. Are thepeople lees potent in the Confederate Btates, through their representatives in Congress, than the Wes eremee unis DO power, like to ‘a law in spite of the King’s veto ; yet vo King, Toss, has dared to veto a dill passed by Parliamen| King bas dared to defy public opinon in the appointment of the national counsellers and the commanders of armies, setting up personal favoritism and partisanship above efficiency. * «© © The legislative power which Congress pos- Bess0s, as tO MoasuUres and men, cun control the govern ment and force efficiency into the administration whether to the appointment cabinet officers, commanders of armies bureau officers, or in the management of our diplomacy, our fivances, our military operations, our paval preparations, and the eficiency of our Bureaus of Conscription, Commisary Stores and Quartermaster Stores. But this can never be done by those who look upon Pre- sident Davis as ‘our Moses.” Congress must assume its cuties under the constitution, 98 an independent element of power. It must abandon the idea that it is only a secret body for Feaistering the will of the President. It must be the people, standing forth in the light clothed with the whole legisiative power of the govern: mont, and with their agent, the ident. instrumental for thoir deliverence. That our cauge will ultimately triumpb we do not doubt, in spite of the incompetency of President Davis and bis silly and most disastrous policy, by which the Confederate States bave been deluged with blood, and covered over with suffering and misery. His inefficiency and Yankee efficiency will both be overcome But if President Davis is to be troated as ‘our Moses’’ ‘wo really do not see the use of Congress. If the people, through thelr representatives in Cougress, are to exercise bo power, bat at the bidding of the executive, Congress is @ nonentity.

TROTTING ON THE UNION COURSE. ‘The trot yesterday was a match for $2,000, between the sorrel gelding Serre! Dan, or Dan Mace, and the chestnut mare Lady Morrison. Both of them belong to Boston men, and the match caused a great deal of interest. The mare, however, after having a trial on Monday Iast, in which she made fine time, showed {ndications of a let down in the near back sinew forward; consequently the betting was one bundred to thirty on the gelding before the bell rang. After scoring, however, thore were offers to take two hundred to five hundred. ’'The gelding mide many false starts, breaking and ranning as he approached the score. When they finally got the word for the. first heat he had three quarters of a length the best of it, and kept i all the way ing in near a distance ‘ahead of tho mare, {.

Events bave rapidly succeeded each other since the date Of my last letter, and by them we have been carried for- ward from a crumbling republic to the condition of a moderate monarchy. Mexico, by tho electoral system of Napoleon, has declared her wish for a monarchical form of government, with an emperor and hereditary rights tor his family. Mexico is again an empire, with certain chances of once more rising to the comparative imperial greatness which she in past ages enjoyed. ‘The empire is peace;” and if the empire can only be made to endure for afew short years the greatness that must follow peace in this rich country will assuredly place Mexico first on the list of nations in America. The republican shakes his head, and gays French bayonets are doing all this; but he is mistaken. The bayonets of the model republic of North America—turnod, as they are, against them- relves—have brought things in Mexico to the present ‘state, and if monarchy be sustained here their clashing together upon their once prosperous soil will be the main support of the Mexican throne. ‘The Latin races hayo everywhere admitted their insufficiency to live happily under republican institutions, and the best they have been able to do has been to make a bad imitation of the Avglo Saxon republic of the North; and when they now sce that an infinitely superior race cannot live happily and peacefully together under republican fostitutions, thoy naturaliy despair of doing better. Let interes! parties writo to you what they may on this subject; but be assured that the intervention In Mexico is popular, and that, although the Mexicans feel humiliated somewhat in coming to the conclusion that they are incapable of self- government, stilMbey vastly prefer that humiliating con- feesion to remaining longer in anarchy. ‘The first powerful proof of the popularity of the inter. vention was given on the entry of General Forey into this capital; but many people sid all the show that was then observed was made by partisans, through fear on the part of others, and by a liberal use of French money. Charges of this kind it is not easy to disprove by evi- dence. But shortly after the triumphal entry of the French army the officers announced a ball, which they proposed to give to the people of Mexico. A hue and cry was raised that it would be impossible for Mexican faml- lies to attend a ball given by the invaders and conquerors of‘their country. Everything that’ could be done by the partisans of Juarez was done to prevent the ball from be- ing attended by Mexican ladies, and the question was discussed in every respectable family of this capital. It was infact a general vote upon the intervention. The officers in the meantime went abead with their prepara- tions. They took the Grand National theatre, as aflording the greatest accommodations of any buliding in the city, and onthe night of the ball, the 29th ultimo, over five thousand persons, the select of Mexican society, and made up of all the old partice—even once exalted puros—were in attendance, and bad there been room for more the number woald baye been stil! greater. The ball was o brilliant affair, the grandest thing of the kind, it is safe to say, ever given in Mexico, It was a triamph for (he cause of tntervention, and the oply real victory of the French army in this country, The political operations have followed their couree under the guidance of the Count de Saligny, After the manifest good will displayed by the peo: ple of this capital towards the mtervention it was not difficult to foresee that the programme of the French Minister would be followed to the end with- out much jarring, The Janta Superior was filled up to two hundred and fifty members. They were installed on the Sth, when General Almonte and Senor Lores made addressrs to the Junta. The speech of the hitter reviewed the stormy seas through which the republic had passed, until it had wrecked on the breakers of a general anarchy , and is now the object of th: ole France.

At Zacatecas the lives of peacesble French residents have Deen threatened by thearmy. Against this act the French ‘Vice Consul protested, aud Governor hus given @ very handsome reply, promising to do all in bis power for their safety. Butron, the famous bandit revolutiontet of the Monte de las Cruces, who has been a partis.n of all parties, was condemned to death on the afternoon of the 7th, and the sentence was carried into execution on the morning of the Sth. He died in a most cowardly manner, having to be heid up to go to the place of execution, Col. Potier, commander of this city, has created a lively sensation amongst evil doers by adopt- jog the system in vogue here during the Ameri- can occupation. He keeps the Turcos busily en- gaged applying the lash to his clievts. ‘Thia mode of cor- rection is not popular amongst the Mexicana, who com. plain that in no other country would France dare to apply such remedies. are therefore trying to get Colonel Potier removed, and I hear he 1g not indisposed to retire, ‘as he has, by superior orders, boon preveuted from pun- ishing a priest. An adjutant of Carvajal has been cap- tured and brought to this city. Ho will very likely be a companion of the officers of Butron and others of the same stripe ina voyage toCayenne, M. Budin, the Imperial Minister of Financo, is busily at work in preparing for the re-establishment of the public revenues and courts of justice. The question of clergy property is also under his attention, and will pro- bably be ncted upon ere long. A great portion of those sales will no doubt be deciared null and void; bajwhen persons have really purchased the sales will be ified. From all parts of the country now occupied by the French votes of thanks are being showered in upon the Count de Saligny, who is given credit by the people for being the main instrument im carrying out theloterven- tion. Efforts will be made in Europe to raise a loan for the empire. Besides, it is proposed tw establien a national Dank with fifty millions of positive guarantees, In addi- tion to certam revenues of the nation.

My previous letters havo informed you how the French advances, under General Bazaine, econpied this city on the 7th of June, and thus relieved the roreign guard who had from the 31st of May to that date performed the duty of keeping the city in order; and it must be said for them that they did the services in a manner highly satisfac- tory to all parties and flattering to themselves, The city once oocupied by the veterans of Franco, who have also become double veterans by tho long campaign in Mexico, Lieut. Col. Potier, Military Commandant of Mexico, menced to make preparations for the reception of General Forey, who was on his wy here from Puebla. The line of march of the hero of the siege of Puebla through the streots of this city was indicated, and # gentle hint given to the public that the houses along tho line of march must ‘be decorated. In addition to this stimulant there qs considergble'enthusiasm displayed by the French resi- dents and by the interventionists amongat the native Mexicans, 80 that when the 10th, the day of the trium- phal entry, arrived, all the houses were decked eut with their finest balcony ornaments; two triumphal arches ‘were erected, and as the hour for the advance of the pro- cession approached the balconies were crowded, the housetops likewise, and J suppose if there had been chim- neytops these also would have had their overpeeping crowd, As tho procession commenced all eyes wero strained to catch the first sight of the great Forey. To the annoyance of everybody a part of the Mexican auxilia- ries were sent ahead; but they soon passed, and then the Gauls came pouring through-the streets, The fantastic Yonaves furnished a little relief; 80 alse did the chasseurs a pied and the chasseurs a cheval; but at Jast General Forey came on, riding between two gen- tlemen. ‘There is General Forey,” 18 shouted from all sides; “There ig General Forey.” Bat, the first burst of excitement past, and they ask, “Who is to bis right?” “Who is to his lefty’? General Almonte answered the first inquiry by dividing the ealutations with General Forey; but the other gentleman rode on, indifferent to the whole affair, with a sort of appearance as if he wished all the show aud bubble were at an end. Ho had left Mexico eighteen months before, promising to come back with French soldiers, and, although meeting with every possible difficulty, had kept his promise. He—the Count de Salieny—was known to every creature in dexico, from the abuse heaped upon him by the late government; but his presenco in the procession, by the side of the General in Chie’, exacted from even his enemies the confession that he had been a consistent though a bitter enemy, His friends naturally cheered bim fustily. From vegin- ning to end flowers and wreaths were heaped upon the French army, and {t is said General Forey has his bed canopied with garlands thrown at him. The old fellow is quite vain enough to guard them for evidence in the tuture of his grand reception in tho Aztec capital. The procession wound up by a Te Deum in the cathedrnl, and the Frengt army at the conclusion retmainod com: pletely satistied that they had been received with every domonstration of friendship. Sensible people pretty gene rally know that whore there 1s force apparent iriend- ship can easily be made to monifest itself; and people whoknow Mexico know alao that if the old gentleman himself came here with power to fill offices rigut aud loft he would be overwhelmed with admirers. Still it must be acknowledged thet the display on the whole waa exceedingly flattering to ihe French army, and showed protty cloarly that a fair }roportion of the ‘population at least hailed their coming ¥ ith every sign of joy. On the 12th Geveral Forey exme out with a long mani fosto to the Mexican pation. In this he aaid that his mise sion here had been a dono one. He had been sent here to demonstrate to the Mex cans how absurd were their claims to bea military peoole, on account of the affair of the bth of May of last year. General Forey expresses bimeel’ satisfod with bis labors before Puebla, and do claret the expeditirn, in a military point of view, at an end, and this leaves ‘bm iree to set to work on the second part of bis mie-ion, which isto help the Mexicans to organize their government, He dectwres to the nation that there Flail be bo more forced loans; the purchasers of clergy property who com: Hed with the lawa shall be protected; the press shall be free, like it is in France there bull be a law for recruiting troops for the army, autl the eystem of pressing into the service is to be aban: doned: taxes are to be tmpowed as in civilized countrica— that i8, they are to be equalled; public employes are to be weil looked after, the Cxtholic religion is to be pro. tvted, and the bishops are to be reinstated; but General Fo Delioves the Emperor would like to gee religious on established.

Tho same success that is tilustrating Union arms at Charleston, Chattanooga, Knoxville and Cumberland Gap 1s also attending our expedition wy forees under General Biunt in Arkansas, The telegrsph informs us, under date of Leavenworth, September 10, that Fort Smith bas beon recaptured by our troops,and that the rebel army has evacuated Little Rock, the capital of Arkausas, and is supposed to have fallen back southwestward to the town of Washington. Anether despatch of the same date, from Cincinnati, gives us some details of the affair, from which wo learn that General Davidson, with his cavalry division, moved on tho rebel works at Bayon Metoir, nine miles east of Little Rock, on the 27th of August, and engaged a rebel force of cavalry and infantry, succeeding, alter a severe fight offan hour and a quarter, iu driving the rebels from their intrenchments, The latter are said to have bad three thousand men and three pieces of artillery. ‘The rebels retreated across the bayou and fell back upon Little Rock, where they were said to have a force of fifveen thousand men. From this point, too, they find themeclves driven, and thoy were at last accounts re- treating out of the State, in the direction of the Indian Torritory. Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas and seat of justice of Pulaski county, is situated on the right or southera bank of Arkansas river, about three hundred miles from its mouth, one hundred and fity-flve miles west by south of Memphis, and one thousand aud sixty-five miles west Dy south of Washington, latitude $4 degrees 40 minutes north, longitude 83 degrees 10 minates west. It ts situ- ated on a rocky promontory or biuff,about fifty foot nigh, the first that occurs in’ascending the river, commanding @ delightful and extensive view of the surrounding coun- try. The State House isa fine brick edifice, rough cast. ‘The town contains a United States aracnal, the State peni- tentiary, which has been once of twice burned down by the convicts,and six churches, ali handsomely built of brick—nainely, one Presbyterian, one Kpiscopal’an, ope Methodist, one Christian and two Roman Catholic. There were two newspapers published there. It has a Ma- sonic hall, an Odd Fellows’ bali and several seminaries. ‘The United States Court for tho Fastern district was held there. Many of the residents were planters, who owned estates in that part of the State. Little Rock, “ore tho rebellion, communicated regularly ‘by steamboats with different points on the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers. Good clay for brick {8 found in the vicinity; aleo quarries of fine slate, and granite very like the Quinsy granite, bat not so herd. A compa. ny had been formed by a number of gentlemen from Cin- cinnati to work the slate quarry, which is in the immedi- ate vicinity. The origin of the name Little Rock is ex- plained as follows:—In ascouding the rivor there appears on the south bauk, rising out of the water, a bai, igneous: sinte rock, which at low wator is about twenty-live feet above the surface, but at high water fs almost hidden from view, This givos namo to the city, and is called by the townspeople ‘the Point of Rocks.” Two miles above ‘this, on the north bank, is anothor reoky bluff, about two hundred feet high, which is called the “Bly Rock.’ The population in 1860 was 2,167, in 2853 about 3,009. ‘The map published on onr first page will iMustrate this Arkansas campaign. Tue town of Washington, to which the rebels are said to have removed, appears on the lower left hand cornex of the map, Thus Arkansas is redecmed {rom the repollion aud re- stored to the Union. A majority of hor citizens wero un- derstood to be always loyal; but they were, of course, overruled and trampled upoudy the military despotism which had anfurled the banner of treason. They will no doubt hai! the change with as much euthusiasm as do the people of Eastern Tennevses, ‘The other rebel forces that have boon operating in tho Bayou Teche country in Lonisiana are alse being driven back towards the Toxas frontier.
