Lenvanwortb, 23d. Up to this morning
128 bodies were hurried nt Liureiice.
Many of them were so disfigured ns to pre
vent, recognition. (Jitir.ciu are continually
pacing between this placo und Laurence,
and their details of l he scenes that occur
red in the streets of the doomed city tiro
sickening and heiirl-rending. Thn last nc
counts we have of Quuulrell is to Saturday
night, at which time ho win being closely
pursued by Lane, whose force was constant
ly being increased by farmers who were
flocking to him with aims. It is his de
termination lo follow Q'lnntrcll into Mis

them down like i obiter. One of their
number who was captured gave the name,
of fifty of the gang. The people of Jack
son counly, who arc well known here, and
have always been considered good Union
men, and the lust informed citizens of
Laurence, are of the opinion that Qtirtn
trell's troops me mainly composed of pa
roled prisoners of Pentberton's command
and soniu from Pricvs army, from tho fact
that they are munli sunburned Iu appear
ance from being long iu service.
New Yoik,2flh.--A special dispatch this
morning from Washington contains but lit
lie news : A Morris Island letter, of lSlh.
to tin1 Ilcxiltl, states that thu uppearaiiee
of tho gorge wall of Sumter is not like
that presented by Fort Pulaski on the
evening of the lirs't duys fire. From thirty
to forty large holes could be counted on
the face of tliu works. Tint baricade.s of
brick covering thu magazines and sand
traverses have been H-ricusly damaged.
Three days of such work will bring down
Sumter or tho head of its defenders.
Fortress Monroe. 24th. Richmond
Whiff of 21st says the loss of Vicksburg
and failure of Gettysburg arc tho two
events of the year which seems to render
highly probable a long and almost inter
minable conlinuanco of tho war. Apart
from victories which wo may achieve on
the field, there arc but two means of coun
teracting the baneful efl'icls of these events
and bringing hostilities to an early close.
Thoi! are events forcing intervention or a
determined opposition by thu conservative
masses of the Xortli to the ubolitiou fac
tion who have control of thu (joverument
at Washington. A long protracted war
will prove n great evil wholely unmixed
with uoml, for the longer thu war coutin
iich the more thoroughly exasperated the
Southern heart will become with the whole
Yankee race und Yankee institutions. We
want the uid of Franco. Wo are able to
nay for it ; let us do it. We shall then
have peace, or a power to work sweet re
venge on our foul foe. The Richmond tfru
nlnul says; from the region of the Uup
pnhaunock there seems to be growing an
expectation Hint iv collision between the
two nnnies is thawing near. All accounts
concur in representing our (rebel) urmy to
be iu the very best condition.

A horrible discovery has just been made
on the rebel line of fort ilico't ions. Quite :i
