Bombardment of Forts Sumter and

Forts Sumter and Wagner
Taken by the Federals.
From our Extra of Tuesday.
Chicago, Aug. 27.
Richmond papers of 25th say if Sum.
ter should necessarily be evacuated, the
loss would be Bmall, ns enemy cannot oc
cupy it and it can hardly be effectually
defended by now fortifications built like
Wagner on which heavy shot of enemy
can havo but little impression. The seige
is progressing with desperate energy, and
defense is as furious as assault. The en
emy, it seems, has been able to throw a
a few shells into the city from a distance
of 5 miles, and we are told Beauregard
has protested against such proceedings on
grounds of humanity. His protest will
amount to little if lie cannot disabjo bat
teries that throw shells. The batteries of
Parrott guns nre distant from Sumter 5,
000 yards. Up to Friday night, 2500
Yankee missies had struck the fort. Dam
ago of course considerable-.
.Charleston, Aug. 25. .
Yankee sappers began to make the ap
proach on Wagner to-day from nearest
marsh. Shot from that fort disabled Par
rot gun, nnd James Island batteries ex
ploded two of enemies ammunition chests.
Fire from enemies land batteries is heavi
er than ever to-day. New battery opened
on Sumter to-day, and fire from all the
batteries concentrated. Our flag has
been shot away 6 times since commence
ment of attack.
Charleston, Aug. 22.
At 2 o'clock this morning, enemy com
menced shelling the city from the batte
ries of marsh between Morris Island and
James, five miles from the city, 12 8-in.
Parrott shell fell into the city ; no casu
alties have occurrcii. The transaction is
regarded as outrageous and in violation of
civilized warfare.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21.
A dispatch of 20th from Canton, Miss.,
says Yankees burned quarter of town of
Grenada in late raid to that place.
Letter from Forest's command says
Col. Dibble had a fight with 8 regiments

Yankees repulsed, loss 40 or 50 killed.

A Morris Island letter of 21th in Herald
soys seven deserters who escaped from Fort
Moultrie state that two blockade runners sue
oecded In eluding our vessels and ran into
cnnrieston on 'j, nursiliiy night. They were
discovered by our blockndera and fired upon
uui mgni was so uarK ana misty they were
quickly out of sicht. Gilmoro directed Lieut.
seimour commanding the marsh batteries, to
open witu uis rilled guns on Charleston during
iiigui. uetween j and V o clocK, on Saturday
night 15 shells, Humpy's invention, were pitch
ed over James Island batteries across harbor
and into town. Effect of this demonstration
was perfectly satislactory to ourselves. Per
Imps Beauregard lind considered Gllmore's
threat to shell Charleston nt a distance of four
miles too preposterous to demand attention.
Beauregard claimed that tho city bad not
been evacuated by all non-combatants. There
was a most unrorioui panic nnd universal con
fusion, slteduddlcrs were soon discovered by the
light of burning buildings, ringing of bells from
every steeple, and screaming of locomotive
whistles, The snme correspondent sars a few
days delay may ruin the whole campaign.
Sumter was reduced because it was in the way
of the navy, but Duhlgren has not yet made
an auvance towards completing tne work wind)
Giliuore so gloriously began. Tho army is un
able to do more; Gilmnre litis performed his
part of the contract, and it now remains for
the navy to enter upon and perform its part.
A week's delay may enable the rebels to re
place Sumter by new batteries within the har
bor, which would make Charleston as fur oil' ns
before tlio first gun was lired. There is a deep
feeling and I'uar growing on shore that the fruir
nf our glorious triumph will be permitted to
slip from our grasp by inexplicable procrasti
nation of the navy. Wagner still holds out,
but the army is gradually approaching it. .

By-lliH-wnv, speaking of violenoe. we bad a
niiuji-mnli the other day und Ihe exhibition of
a spirit by an assemblage of exasperated men
that wv decidedly moro wollish than pleasant
to look tipoii. It seem that a inuii by Ihe
name or Cuddy, ur Curdey, (it is given both
ways) quite n prominent miner, living upon a
gulch up Elk creek, nbout two miles Irniu here,
called by his name, had some difficulty with a
partner about some trilling amount of money,
alleged by the party, who was named Brown,
to bu due him from Cuddy. The latter refused
lo pay, and the mil er Iu tlio neighborhood
held a meeting, passed a series of resolutions
for the protection of their asserted rights, np-
poiuted a formal Vigilance Uomimttee, and de
clared that Cuddy should pay Ihe amount
claimed by Itronii. lie demurred, hastened

two wa amicably adjusted, and no bone of

liged to disperse without committing nuy irrej
parable mischief. This u the first turbulent
assemblage that bas yet made a public appear
aiice wnu tne avnwen inieniiou nl trampling
law under loot, auu commuting act ol violence,
It is to be hoped it will be the last, unless some
occasion of real moment may furnish at I ast
some extenuating feature for such conduct.
There is a fii-bng here that once aroused, it
would be difficult to quell, or to say where, or
when, it wuuld stop, and too often, the ring
leaders, the most active inciters to riotous con
duot are of a chits of persons who h.tvn until
ing to lose at any time, and lo say the leawt not
oiuch lo gain by the law and order ayatoiu of
lliiug. If auh men can control the action of
tnmulinnrr niultitmlr in cities like New Vork
to work devastation anil violate law, a evi
denced in the late riot there, what wonder that
they can be fonnd equally ruinous and potent
or evil in countries like this ?
1 do not think homicide hav increased to
a greater average than one a day latterly,
though rumor with her thousand tongues some- I
times makes it appear so for a sliort time.
Among these, the desperadoes oome in for on
occasional share. The somewhat notorious
Bill Mayfield, of Washoe celebrity, (?) for
whose apprehension the .Governor of Nevada
Territory offered a large reward not long ago,
was shot deud in the street nt Placervillo about
a week since by a sport named Bill Evan.
Tho difficulty originated in some polite differ
ence of opinion over a monte game a night or
two previous. Evans wus arrested but waived
a judioial examination by leaving the country
between two days. Managing in some way to
elude tho vigilance of the officer who had him
in oharge. The dav after Mayfiold was killed,
a miner named Frederick Beoker, also a Wash
oelte formerly, killed a minor, and partnor of
his, named Uriah Honeywell, with a shovel,
fracturing the skull of the deceased, so badly
he died next day. Becker, too, although ar
rested, escaped from the custody of the officer
and loft for parts unknown without demanding
the legal examination the statutes in soctl cum
provide for, and which the publio generally
here, felt deoidedly interested in having ac
corded him. Honeywell was a vonng man,
formerly from Iowa, originally from Defiance
county, Ohio, whero he has relatives. He had
none here. Ho was a very industrious, peace
able man, nnd esteemed by thosu who knew
him.
The extremo hot weather of the season is
over, and the nights nre beginning not only to
be cool, but quite oold. As the evenings he
gin to lengthen nut, the disciples nf Terpsi
chore seem disposed to take advantage of all
opportunities for pleasure possible, and we are
beginning to novo balls and social "hops,"
among the elite weekly aud even oftener. It
looks very much like a disposition to start in lor
a social Winter of it for thoso who remain,
among whom tho writer may he counted "in."
Dusiness ol most kinds Is declining In activity,
though the building mania Is still strong ; and
new structure both In Bannock City proper,
nnd in Buena Vista, are constantly going up.
Some of them I opine will want tenant two or
three months hence, and many of them will be
hiund very unooinfortnble Winter residences.
From all appearances there is likely to be a
scarcity of tho staple necessaries of life here,
m tho groceries and provision line. Flour has
been selling nt $40 per 100 piinnds most of the
last fortniglit.'atid I am informed the supply
now nn hand would not last the people here a
month. This deficit must be inado op in some
way or there will be starvation times for a good
tunny before next Spring in this onuntry.
Tho packets nre losing many animals lately,
cither through ovor travel, over-loading, or
short feed. Horses, mules, and oattlo are dy
ing olf in great numbers, and horses ranched
hero, are also dying iu the sumo way. It is
true, feed is sliort, hut starvation doe not seem
to be tho cause of the mortality among the
equines (or a a oertain Oregon journalist inno
cently culls horses nnd mules ns well as cattle,
the bovines) hero. Freight has raised in conse-
? nonce to 25 cents per pound from Umatilla
.anding. nnd Walla Walla, by pack trab.
The freight wagons aro forever and a dny mak
ing the trip through loaded, aud tho pack ani
mals begin to make pretty long ones.
The influx of people from below still contin
ues to some extent, but of courso is more than
counterbalanced by persons leaving. A few
days ngo, two parties numbering in all some
fifty persons started for Washoe, one of which,
some 20 strong, were composed of gay "gam
hollers." time hero growing unproiitably dull
for them. Tho other party was composed of
substantia owners ol solid "feet" there, going
hack to look after their interests. Several un
dred men have gone out to prospeot on tho
Middle Fork of the Boise, about 80 mile from
here within the Inst fortnight on the strength of
reports of soinetliiifg rich being struck there In
placer diggings. A few returned prospector
have reached Bannock City again, and pro
uouiico tho "excitement" to be very similar to
a perfect young lady, that is to say, a perfect
dain-sel(l) (emphasis on the sell). It is diffi
cult, Inwever, to learn anything positive and
reliable ns yet, about the matter, and I am
rather disposed to give the region in question
the full benefit of the doubt.
The South Boise mi have fair placer dig
gings, hut the quartz lode upon Bear creek,

ing into Ihe South Boise near it source, are

THE PROPOSITION OF JEPF. DAVIS TO
. EUROPEAN POWERS.
Correspondence of the New York Tribune,
' ' Washington, July 30.
The Government, I am told, ha reoeived
further information on tlio snhject of the reeent
propositions made by Jen. Davis to the crown
ed fiends of Europe propositions of whiob' a
Uemooratio newspaper of New xorR has al
ready given a brief summary, and to which
yon nave alluded in your own column. '
Acoordlng to the information, it would ap
pear that on the 4th of July last, a Cabinet
onunoil was held at Richmond, in which it waa
decided to obtain from soma European Power
an interest equivalent to a protectorate. To
that effect indnoement of the strongest kind
were deliberately proposed and assented to by
all the member of the rebel- Government.
These inducements were not offered to Louis
Napoleon alone, but to England and Spain also.
Although identiool as to the results to be brought
about, they were different in their nature and
character, so as to be suited to the peculiar
views nnu interests oi me nation to wmuu iiiey
were to bo offered. . ' .-vh t
Not one, as it has been said, but three bear
er of dispatches were sent from Richmond to
turope, each ot them carrying with him aoopr
of the three messages to England, Franoe and
Spain. This was done as a prudential meat
ure, so that if any ono of tho dispatch bearer
had been arrested, the others might hav es
caped, and delivered to Mason or Slidell the
three separate instructions respectively ad
dressed by Jeff. Davis to the three Govern
ment alluded to. Two of these bearer ol
dispatches went through Baltimore to New
lork, where they halted a couple of days, dur
ing whioh they saw several of your prominent
Uemooratio pnl.tloians. The other, who started
a week afterward, made direct for Boston, where
he took the steamer for Europe. I do not be
lieve the Government has reoeived any preoise
knowledge o'f the content of the new Instruc
tions sent to Europe by these messenger. ' Oue
thing, however, i oertain -Jeff. - Davis ha ,
made no conoesaiona concerning slavery, for
this simple reason, that be could make none.
A year ago Louis Napoleon, in a conversa
tion with Slidell, which wa reported in the
Tribune, requested the latter to inquire from
his Government whether or not it was disposed
to give up slavery, in whioh case the attitude
of France toward the Confederacy would not b
a (ingle moment doubted. To this question of
the Emperor Jeff. Davis' reply was, that in his
personal opinion slavery was at an end lo the
South, aud that the termination of the war
would be the signal for it gradual extinction.
Hut, as slavery wa a State institution, be had
no power over it; consequently, any action la
the matter at the present time would have in
fallibly brought ruin to him, without any bene
fit to the slaves.- I give you this as a positive
fact, upon whioh you oan place entire reliance.
It is believed here that the press li getting
far too ambiguous a regards the intermeddling
of Franoe in our affairs. Although It is mora
than probable that the late diplomatic instruc
tions of the roSel Government refer to the pro
posal equivalent to an offer nf alliance of the
South with France, this doe not neoessanly
imply that there is any danger for ns in that of
fer. In this oase, it is not the offer whioh ought
to excite our apprehension it is the acceptance
ot it. Will Louis Napoleon accept the alliance
proposed to him by the South t Here 1 the
danger, and hero lie the whole question. All
the rebel Government may do doe not affect
us iu the least, unless it policy is attended
with sucoess.
In this instance the probabilities are that It
will not sucoeed. Louis Napoleon is too
shrewd a politician to burden himself with an
alliance in which he wonld give everything and
receive nothing. In what oan an alliance with
the South possibly he of any advantage tn him t
Guarantee Mexico) He will tell Jelf. Davis:
"You cannot guarantee your own frontier;
how can you propose to guarantee mine ? Yon
will give me a mortgage on Texia 1 But that
mortgage I oan tako myself withont your leave.
Your alliance give me no army, no navy, no
money, nothing which can benefit in any way
my policy In the New World, nnd it expose
me to a war with the North, l no have every
thing to gain and 1 have everything to lose.
I he bargain is not even, and 1 cannot accept
it." '
This is, iu all probability, the answer which
the propositions of Jen. Davis to Louis Napo
leon will rei-eive. nt least lor the present.
This knowledge of the position, as well as the
tutious aud moderate views of the Emperor
of the French on American affairs, make our
Government believe that the fear arising on
tho subject nf an allinuue of the South with
Frauce are groundless, and that Loom N ipo
leon can in no way outer into an agreement of
tbi kiud.
Enormous Frauds Upon the Govern
ment. At llarrisburg, Pa., considerable ex
citement ha been eruuted hy tho discovery ol
enormous frauds upon the Government during
the recent army movements in that p-gion, con
sequent on Ihe rebel foray. The amount
are stated at millions of dollar. A number of
prominent State politicians have been placed
under arrest, and the subject will receive the
most searching investigation by the War De
partment. The mint corrupt practice bava
prevailed In bona contracts and In clothing
und subsistence up plies. They throw the
shoddy" operators at Harrisburg in the Sum
mer of 1801 entirely iuto the shade. Many of
the same parties are Implicated, and the gang
wno have luleoted the statu capital of t euu
sylvania in the Winter have reaped a rich
Summer harvest. It is reported that tlio State
troops were iu almost a starving oonditiou, while
one heavy operator In a single week cleared
half a million of dollars.
