Tito news ol the assault on Fort Sumter
and the rcpulso of tho oncmy announced

Tho greatest cnahnsiasm was exhibited.
Tii- capture of one hundred and fifteen

The Monitors were lying behind Morris'
Island, evidently undergoing repairs.
Alost of the firing done was by our batte
ries on Jame's Island, which annoyed the
workers on Cummings Point by a steady
stream of round shot and shell at inten
vals often or fifteen minutes.
During tho day a large number of emp
ty ammunition boxes, thrown overboard
by the enemy during tho engagement,
weTe picked up in the harbor. A po'rtion
of a vessel was also found badlymarked by
shell. It bad ovidently been torn off from
one of tho members of the fleet.

terday morning and was met by a boat
from Fort Sumter. The bearer of the Yan
kee flag of truce was Informed that no flag
of truce boats could be received until satis
factory explanation was given why they
fired upon our flag of truce. We learn
that the enemy's boat brought a letter bag
and dispatches for Gen. Beauregard. A
proposition was made by the Admiral to
send a Surgeon to attend to the Federal
wounded, which was declined, a Surgeon
having boen already detailed for that work.
Oca Missionaries. I low pleasant to
hear once more from brother and sister
Wood, our dovoted missionaries to China !
A lady of this place has receptly received
a letter from sister Wood, dated May, '63.
Brother Wood was well and preaching
to the heathen. Sister Wood was doing
well. Their little Ilerbort, nearly two
years of ago, was considered most lovely.
The Mission families arc submitting to
the inconvenience of keeping house in dif.
forcnt rooms of one dwelling, so as to rent
out tho other buildings to aid in their sup
port while our troubles last, thoy being de.
prived of supplies from this couutry.
Can we not send thoin help f Shall we
not raiso a liberal amount for them before
our Conference meets here in December ?
Doubtless, moans may be found to forward
it to them. The same kind Providence that
affords us the privilego and pleasuro of
bearing from each other, will doubtloss

need, if forwarded by us.

eves of Europe. By a long series of outra-
duty she exposed herself to war, and she
has succumbed to a conqueror. That con
queror has treated her with, at any rate, a
sbow of consideration and deference. He
has invited hor notables to dispose of them
selves, and, after tlieir experience of repub
lican institutions, it would certainly not be
8urprisingif they sincerely desired a Got
crnment of another form. It France finTia
her account in the political prospects
which these arrangements open, we can
that aha has been at the whole
charge of the proceeding, and that tho
bargain does not appear extravagantly in
her favor. If an Austrian Archduke choo
ses to undertake the mission of regenera
ting Mexico, we can only wish him success.
It is not conceivable that under any Gov
ernment whatever the Mexicans should
fail of being better ruled than before, and,
if France and Austria can make Mexico a
State in which life and property are secure,
and public obligations respected, they will
certainly leave Europe and Mexico their
debtors.
ADDITIONAL FROM MEXICO FRENCH OCCUPA
TION OF THE ISTHMUS OF 1EHUANTEPEC.
A letter from Vera Crux, dated August
6, brings news of the occupation of Minatit
lan by tho French. This is a town of some
five hundred people, situated on tho wes
tern bank of tbe river Coatzacoalcos, in
tbo isthmus of Tehunantepec.
It was formerly the point of departure on
tho Atlantic from which various attempts
were made to establish inter-oceanic com
munication across the isthmus. It is twenty
miles from the mouth of the river.
An expedition bad started to occupy
Tampico.
It was rumored that Don Benito Juarez
had been preparing to proceed to Matamo
ras or New Leon, bis object being to tako
refugo in Texas ; but it was thought, ho
would not bo well received by the rebels,
whom he had offered to oppose, in accord
with President Lincoln.
The Mexican journal, tho Estafette, in an
article abusive of Juarez and bis Govern
ment, uses the following language :
Their principal bopo to. day lies in aid
from North America. Whatever may be,
in present circumstances, the embarrass
ments of tbe Washington cabinet, it will
not readily conform itself to tbe French oc
cupation and the establishment of an em
pire in Mexico. The Government of Jua
rez, nil dishonored as it is, is still, in the
eyed of tho Northern liepublicans, tho last
hope of the Monroo doctrine, that great
dream of Anglo-Saxon supremacy, which
is tho more cherished tho nearer it ap
proaches extinction. Tho Mexican qnes
tiou will soon bo for tho Lincoln Cabinet a
subject of tho fir.t order, and tho hostility
of tbo North will break ont, according to
the progress of tho American civil war, in
monaciug notes, in loan of arms and money,
or in filibustering expeditions authorized
by F'dcral rulers. Tko mere tho annihila.

therefore, heard with great pleasure of an

to its assailants. So in the first summer
and fall of the war, earthworks at Halte
ras Inlet and Port Royal were reduced in
a few hours by U. S. vessels of war. But
Fort Wagner, built in tho same way, with
stood fof more more than fifty days com
bined cannonading of land and oaval bat
teries, and repulsed repeated effoits to car

grow in skill, in endurance, in the art of
solf protection, and in obsttracy of pur
pose. The enemy makes progress, but it
is slower and slower, liko the moving of a
body whose momentum is nearly spent.
This Blackening and waning of power to
advance will grow raoro perceptible as
they get further inland, and as by com.
pression we are forced into the policy of
concentration. Every movement then will
make them weaker, and ourselves stron

advance no further. Then will come our
opportunity. Too distant from their own
country lor safety by flight, and too remote
for succor, they will be at our mercy and
our armies, like savage animals driven to

gested, says the Fayettevillo Observer, that
the editor of the Standard was not respon
sible for his vote plunging us into this war;
that in giving it ho only obeyed tho in
structions of his constituents. This is a
mistake. Ho asked their votes for the
Convention in order that he might give that
vote. -In the Standard of June 25, 1862,
repelling a charge that he favored recom
struction, he showed it to have "no earthly
foundation" by quoting from his address
announcing himself a candidato for the
Convention the following clear and onrrer.t
statement of the cause of the war and duty
oi iNorm uaroiina :
"The time which we all feared, and which many
of us labored to avert, has ai rived. I told yoj in
reoruarymat i would resist all attempts by the
Federal Government, -under any pretence" whatever.'
to maintain the Union by force. The proclamation
of Mr. Lincoln, calling for troops to make wur on
Southern States, dissolved ih II ninn an far ma wn
are concerned, and summoned evfry true Southern
man to arms, lt is idle now to speculate upon the
past. The proclamation referred to, as by a stroke
of lightning, made the North wholly North and the
South wholly South. There is no issue before us
for discussion. We are now a unit in defence of our
rights and liberties. I am for a union of the South
for the sake of the South, and for all of Constitu
tional liberty that yet remains. If elected to the
Convention 1 will vote to disconnect North Carolina
from the old Federal Union ; and I will also vote to
make North Carolina a member of the Confederate

anxious toteturn to the Yankee. Senate if
Lincoln would grant an amnesty to the
South, and asking Llucoln to allow a cor
respondence with the. said Senators, tho
correspondence to pass through the hands
of the President of the United States "
Lincoln thus replies :
Executive Mansion,
Washino-tnn TW 19t lC.IO
lion. Fernando Wood :
Deab Sir :--Your letter of the 8th, with
the accompanying note of the same date,
was received yesterday.
The most important pargraph in 'the
letter, as considered.' ia in thncA wia .
" On the 25th of November lafct I was ad
vised by an authority which 1 doomed
likely to be well informed, as well as relia
ble and iruthruU that the Southern States
would send roDresentativoa tn iv.a t
Congress, provided that a full and general
amnesty should permit them to do so. No
guarantee or terms were asked for other
than the amnesty referred to."
I strongly suspect your information will
prove to bo groundless; nevertheless, I
thank you for communicating it to me.
Understand tho phraso in tho paragraph
above quoted"the Southern States would
send representatives to tbe next Congress '
to bo substantially tho eamo as that
" the people of tho Southern States would
cease resistance, and would reinaugurate,
submit to, and sustain the national au
thority within tho limits of such States,
under tho Constitution of tho United
States." I say that in such Caso the war
would cease on the part of the . United
States; and that if within a reasonable
timo "a full and general amnesty" were
necessary to such end, it would not be
withheld.
I do not think it would bo proper now (o
communicato this, formally or informally,
to tho people of tho Southern States. My
belief is that thoy already kn"bw it; and
when they choose, if ever, they can commu
nicate with mo unequivocally. Nor do I
think it proper now to suspend military
operations to try any experiment of nego
tiati6n.
I should, .. nevertheless, receive with
great pleasure Iho exact information you
uuw nave ana aiso sucn other as you in
any way may obtain. Such information
might bo more valuable before tho 1st of
January than afterward.
While there is nothing" in this letter
which I shall dread to see in history, it is
peruaps ueuer ior me present that its exis
tence should not becoruo public. I there
i i ... . r ... . .
iuie uavo io request tnat you will regard it
as confidential. Your obedient servant,
A. LINCOLN.

not previously suppress that paper. This
is not so strange as one would at first sup
pose. The Bulletin is in favor of military
law and therefore thinks tho Governor
ought to do every thing it deems necessary,

It is to bo hoped the Bulletin is singular
in its views on this subject.

in order to obtain this concession, is Zai
enough to point out oven at the Tui leres
the obstacles on which one of tho irue, -1
mng powers might stumble in caso oi an
armed intervention taking into account
the general situation in Eurjpe. Thisn-vr
policy has not escaped the cognisance
Lord Cowloy : and the remarkable abtin
ence of the English Consul at this n,
which has prevailed for . somo timo
has now been abandoned in conStqu,n,; J
the latest phenomena, and has given pbee
to a spirited intervention on the part ot
the Lngl.shmen. Consequently there is
now no moro animated champion of tho
Polish cause than Vice Consul White, who
plies all his pursuasivo powers among his
large Pwlish circle of acquaintance to con.
v. ico iuem mat it is the English Cabinet
which bas always supported the idea of
rrconizing tho Polish insurrection, and
that it w:ll bring this measure about if tho
national government will approach it in
friendly spii it. Uowevor, wo arc not very
enthusiastically English in Warsaw, Ui,d
we see clearly euough whom wo can trust
U is, however, interesting to observe how
at tho broaching of each now diplomatic
idea, tho different foreign representatives
emulate ouoh other in endeavors to curry
tayor with the Polish leaders.
Tho National Government has I rcpe-it
positively abandoned all idea of an armed
foreign intervention, and it will aimly i.

the means it has called into existence pro

subjected to tho cross firo of tho Polish

ded all sourcos of help are not cut off from
them on the latter frontier.
