It says : It is universally admitted that if Beauregard is good for any thing in the way of generalship, ic rs as an en gineer. And he probably is very accomplished and ingenious in that line of service. His tctual exploits thus far are cot prook of great origiuulity, as perhaps the occasions did not call for it, hut they show no de fects in his claims to b2 a first class engineer. But eneral JiiImor in Lis redaction cf Fort Pulaski, de monstrated highly original acd brilliant qualities. What he accomplished in that cuse is well knovrn, but the followirg statement by the Philadelphia North American ct the immense buries ol routina opinion which he had the boldness to attack ar,d demolish at the same time, best shows, what stufl the man is made oi : 1 1 is ptattd that General W right, for three years Chief of the Engine r Bureau at Washington, after a carelnl survey, pronounced most positively against the practicability ot an attack on Pulapki, "stating that there is not old iron enough in America to tuke that for. General Totten, long the hea.' o( the entire En gineer Corjp, is reported to have taid, you nrght as well undertake to bombard the Rocky Mountains Irom Tybee as Fort Pulaski. General Robert E. Lee gave rebel testimony to the same point : " The enemy may Cll your fort with shot and shell, they cannot breach iis wails." Bat the incredulous Gilimore insisted on an opportunity to drag somo cannon miles across floating rnarsh;s to a little firm land, on which he proposed to plant them for a breeching battery, and by some strange chance he wa9 permitted to do eo. The world knows the tlT.ct on Fort Pu'aki, an! are nowinfornei that its cons qseaee with the branch of the service to which he was attached wa3 to make General Gilimo:e " the best hated officer in the Engineer Corps." Iu the present struggle Gillmore has displayed deci ded superiority over Beauregard in one respect that is, in getting his foothold on Morris Island. If he Lad been kept oat cf that acd he might have been he cou!d have made no progress ; but that havicg been se cured and held, he has a fair field, and need ask no fa vors. At the very starting point, therefore, General Gillmore evinced a generalship of a high-r grade than belongs to the strict department of engineering: As for what 13 to come, the expsriems of Pulaski caa only give us confidence, without det?rmining specific results, the conditions of the problem b3ing so different. !Snm ter is farther off from General Gillmcie's batteries than wus Pulaski ; it is of stone insteal of brick, and is ad ditionally protected by tiers of cotton bales. Oa the other hand, General Gillmore has mnch heavier and better ordnance than he had at Pulaski, and more bit terits, besides having the aid of the iroL-clads, the balance of the conditions is believed to be not agaicst the present undertaking, but experience alone can settle the question. But Gen. Gillmore and his gallant troop3, a3 well es the whole loyal public, are sanguine in the conviction that his success is only a question of time. It is a mili tary axiom that every fortified place can b2 taken, if on ly the proper means are expended. The Government means that there fcLall be no failure in the if in the case. Men, ordnance, and the requisite material of all kinds wiil be enpplied in abundance. Lot the people, there fore, be ia no haste to see the cradle of rebellion brought low. The work must go on scientifically to be effectual, and should not be hurried. It was reported that the gratd attack was to be opened last Thursday, but we are assured, on good authority, that Gen. Gillmore will not be ready to give the word for action tslore to-day or to morrow. Perhap?, also, a day or two's addition al delay may b 2 nee 3sary. But the third contest at Charleston this time the battle cf the engineers will soon begin, and wiil, we are confident, march steadily on to the complete satisfaction of all loyal men and the confusion of traitors. From the Charleston Courier, 31st inat. Xevvs from the Islands. During Friday night and Saturday the shelling from the enemy's land batteries weq unusually eIow, our Jamea' Island batt?riee, however, keeping up a cnstant and vigorous fire in reply. Until yesterday no formidable attack has I m made on Fort Sumter Eince the attack of the Monitors on Sunday morning, the 16th inst. Ihat attack was short in duration, but the fire very accurat2, and owing to causes we trust now remove:!, very dangerous. It may not fc3 indiscreet to mention in general t'rms the fact that had the fire been then continued in all probability the magazine would have soon been made unsafe, or had aa early renewal of the attack taken place the fort might have been blown up. The Moni tors, however, drew oflL Seven days have sinca elapsed and the powder since then placed beyond danger. About 4 yesterday afternoon Battery Cheves open ed on a side" wheel Eteam ship transport loaded with troops. The troops were landed at Oyster Point. The enemy were also observed landing heavy guns from a prop2lier. 'Jhe firing 8cnday afternoon was ktpt up regularly between the enemy's batteries and Fort Moultrie, bat teries Cheves, Haskell and Wagner. The Yankees are reported working continually and cat.ticusly on an ad vanced battery at the rifle pits, and yesterday afternoon kept up a steady fire from one Parrott gun. Later in the day, however, they had succeeded ia get ting two more in position, and at last accounts had opened a heavy fire on Battery Wagner from 3 Parrott gun3. Out of a little over 800 shots from the four Yankee batteries firrd ut Fort Sumter yesterday, hardly 100 struck the Fort, all the rest falling s!nort, showing a proof that the ecemy's gans are looking their tfficiency The enemy, it is reported, has mounted new guns on his batteries. Nos. 1 2 and Gadberry Hill. Two of these guns are believed to ba three hundred pounder parrots. lie has also mounted a very heavy gun in battery at Gadberry Hill. There has been no change ot importance in tee posi tion or number of vessels in the fleet. V ery he.ivy firing commenced at cine o'clock last night and still continued at the hour of closing our report at twelve o'clock. The following casualties are reported at l.ittery Wagner, Friday and Saturday : Lieut. James C. Randall, A. I. (). to Gen. Col quitt, wouuded in the face, and bonea fractured by a shell. Private Wm.

Lieut. Wood Again at Work Three Sailing Vessels Captured. Another, brilliant exploit took place last Tuesday, in tbp bay, off the mouth of the Rappahannock, which resulted in the capture of three Yankee sailing vessels the Coquette, Golden Rod and Twin Brothers. One of the ships was laden with coa', and the other two with anchors and chains. The Gold en Rod drawing too much water, wa3, in consequent, destroyed, but the other two were safely anchored in a Confederate port. Fifteen Yankees were captured at the same time, and have been received at the Libby prison. Lieut. Wood has thu3 secured five prizes and made about 90 prisoners. The last expedition was at tended with no loss on cur side. No official information has yet been received in re gard to the reported capture cf the steamers Louisiana and Currituck.- Richmond Enquirer. Attempted IStcape Frustrated. A correspondent cf the Raleigh State Journal, writes from Kinston, August 22cd, as follows : A negro fellow dressed ia female apparel, comprising a hoop skirt, measuring five feet eight inches ia diame ter, and wearing a pair of green spectacles, and a green vail in company with a white woman and a little girl child, nged abcut eight years, all making their way to the Yankees at Newbern, rnn in amongst our pickets, Major Whitford's meo, at Coward's bridge, ten miles below here cn yesterday, and were brought to this piece last night and lodged in prison.

Perfect quietude has preiled hera for the last two days. The Fredericksburg correspondent cf the Examiner says the main body of Meade's army has been massed ia three divisions, respectively stationed at Warrenton, lfanassas Junction and 'Centreville. Fifteen thousand infantry of this army were lately sent to Gillmore. Tha correspondent re itarates upoa coliI mation, that the Yankee army of the Potaxnsc is in worse condition at this time than tiince the first advance on this line after the Bull Run battie.

Jjiit ni ire papers of the 29tb insi.. ssy that on Tueaday n'ght, Mosby, with 800 men, attacked a irain of 44 Sutlers' waggons between Centreville and Bull Run, without meet ing with much resistance, 'though the tiain was guarded by Federal soldiers, and captured the whole of tho wagons and contents, and nearly all the cavalry escort, a large number of Government horses and othr property belong ing to the Government and private individuals to a very heavy amount. An order has been Lsaued from headquarters, Kenas City, which, if carried tut, will depopulate nearly the whole of three counties in Mi suiiri, lying closest to the Kansas line. Tha order directi that all persona living within the limits specified, with certain exceptions, remove from their present places of residence within fifteen days, unless, iu the meantime they prove their loyalty to the satisfac tion of the commanding officer. On this proof teintj given, they may remove to any military station within that mili tary district, or to any part of Kansas, except the counties on ihe eastern border of the State. Those whado not to prove the'r loyalty, are to depart farther into the interior, Missouri or eewheie. All gram and hay of loyal per sons met, aiter the lapse of fifteen days from the date of the older, be taken to the nearest mlitary station, snd tamed over to the commanding clli:er. All other grain and hay to be destroyed. An official d'spatch from Gillmore, dated the 24th of Au gust, announces the practical derao'ition of Fort Wagner, after a bombardment of seven days. He states that he had succeeded in establishing batteries within effective range of the city and has opened with them, after giving Bearregard due notice of his intention. From other sour ces, we leaia that shells were thrown into Charleston charged with oreek fire. The only gun of sefficient range to throw shell into Charleston was a three hundred pounder Parrott rifle. But th's encrmcaa piece of ordnance, after a few discharges ac3if'"utaIy burst, breaking off about a foot from the muzzle. This mishap not only dastroyed th3 accuiacy of the fire, but reduced the range by a mile and a half, eo that rntil anothsr gua of equal calibre can be mounted, no liore thells can be thrown into Charleston.

Atlanta, August 26th, 1863. The Currency Letter from Secretaiy Memmlngr. The following letter from Secretary MemmiDger to Senator Hunter, relative to the currency, ia published : Treasury Department, U.S. A., i Richmond, August 24, 1863. J Hoc. R. M. 7. Hunter, Llcjds, Va : Sir In reply to your inqu'trs about the finances, I ntd you a coudenstd statement of the if sue of Trersury nons, aad of the fundtDg operations of the Treasury. You will EC3 fiom thia statement that the funding has been succsslal ; and you wiH learn, also, that the amount of outstanding Trra&ory not:s is still within the limits cf the depreciation which I reported to Congress at the last eesrion. My report then c'timat:d the p mount of circulation which the country could proba bl fc?.rat $150,000,000. The statement now Bhowa that the outstanding Treas ury not'3 used cs geueral currency amount alm03t to three times this amount. But when it is considered that a very large portion of these notis are across the m k ? a 1 1 1 a. a. . 1 r it . A Al iiisaissippi, 11 wm C3 apparent inai iu me Auauuu State? the estimate of three to one is rather over the roaik. Two absorbents are now added which will keep down the excess from new issues namely : the taxes and the sale ot cotton bonds and when the tax in kind tigins to contributa its portion to the eupport of the army there is every reason to bslieve that the currency can be well sustained. It is obvious, from this statement, that the popular notion of estimating the value of the currency by a com parison with gold, is altogether fallacious ; for, while the actual volume of currency ba3 only t:2n increased three fold, its proportion to gold rates at more than double that amount. The fact is, as you all know, that situated es we are, gold is 1 s much a commercial com modity asplatina or tin, and its price 13 governed by the law of demand and supply. As I have already shown, in the report referred to, wheat and corn afford ranch more reliable standards of value when their pries is not controlled by some local obstruction ; and, by re ferring to these, it will hi seen that the currency has maintained itself at the ratio which the outstanding issues indicate. Yon will perceive by "the statement that, uniting all the various appliances for funding, there has been lunded in bonds $232,404 670, to which, according to estimate, there is yet to fca added about $70,000 000 more, which are yet in the bands of the Trt abury officers to be funded, makii.g ia all ab.ut $302,000,000. Add to this $15442,000, deposited iu trie five pur cent, call loan, and we have an aggregate of nearly $318,000,000 withdrawn Irom the currtucy Thia result is certainly very favoraole, and shows that the measures adopted by CJongreta have been quite as Euccesslul as any of us bad anticipated. It ia some what rtmarkable that the Yankee Government shoulo have adopted exactly the same measures for withdraw ing their circulation, aud, according to a statement pub lished in Hum's Merchant 3 Magazine, for July, they have funded, in call loan and bonds, not more than $200,000,000. These figures show that there is no reason for distrust as to our currency : and if, when Congrees meets, you will addrcs? yourselves vigorously to measures which will restrain iis farther increase, we shall bi luly able to maintain our cauc2. I would sugg sc 10 you two matters lor consideration : One is the export duty which I proposed, and the other ia a renewal ot the call loan lur all Treasury notes upon the same principle with the six per cent, call loan which was reported at the last s:?sion. It is worth the experiment to try whether, by allow ing a deposit in the Treasury, on interest, we may not be able to attract and retain there all the Treasury notes not actually required lor circulation. Yery truly, yours, U. li. Memminger, Secretary of the Treesury.

The Spirit of th Army. We have late!? received many letters from the friends of the soldiers, enclosing letters from the army full of all the fire, energy and determination that has always char acterized those noble defenders of the country. With them there i3 neither depression nor despondency for depression is cowardice and despondency treason. We have space to-day but for one extract from a letter from an officer in Gen. Bragg'a army to hia wife : " You ask me what I think about the state of the war and the country ? You will have seen by my letter to . I think that our final triumph is inevitable, ai the President says, and that the war will not last longer than Lincoln's administration. Meanwhile, there wiil, no doubt, be some very hard fighting, and, 1 firm ly believe, some glorious victories for us. I believe every man of any character in the army weald rather lese every dollar of property fee possss&e?. and work tha remainder of his life as a day laborer, than see his conn trymen again under the same detestable yoke with the Yankees. " When men are willing to lay down their lives, yon may confidently predict any eaerificeon their part, Bnve that of honor. Not so, I fear, with a large c'ass of cap italists and speculators ; they take the -oath to the vile despotism, in the country temporarily 'in the enemy's po session. But how transparent is their folly their crime. They will be despised by the Yankees, and as suredly they will cam the eternal contempt of all whose opinion is worth regarding among us. Beggary, begga ry before the vile dishonor of perjury to a sacred cause, acd submission to a hated despotism " Who can talk of failure ? Who can brook the thought that Manassas and Richmond and Fredericks burg are to be perishable names ? cited only to mark the folly of a temporary outbreak ; that Lse and Jack soo shall be ranked in history with the brave but un fortunate chiefs of La Vendee ; that the life blood of 200 000 Conteda-ates shall have been poured out in vain ; that all that is good and great is to succumb to all that is vile, weak and ignoble ; genius and virtue to be crush d under the Juggernaut wheels of brute phys ical f jree ! It is madness it is want of faith in God. Give me the leader whose battle-cry is like Davis, 'vic tory, final triumph ;' or like our immorttal Jackson's, 'I trust in God I wish they would come on !' " Do you remember that, after the battle of Jena, when Berlin wag in the hacda of Napoleon, the Prussian King a fugitive, and Prussia seemed no better than a French Province, Sir Jas- Mcintosh wrote in despair, a profound gloom settled over all the foremost minds in Europe, the colossal power of France bid fair to stran gle every separate nationality in its grasp ; but old bull headed Blutcher and a few other brave spirits held fast, and hoped, and toiled, and lougot for better days ? They lived to enter Pari3 twice in triumph. But I ask you have we come to that yet ? Why, what is there yet to try men's souls ? Two garrisons lost by the stu pidity of a General. That i3 the whole of it. But we shall beat tbem in the next pitched battle, and then, perhaps, our poor croakers will take heart. "I am disgusted with the course of the . What ever be its intentions, it is giving aid and comfort aud information to the enemy. Bat, n'importe, the press, with all its blunders, will be found to have played a noble part in thia war ; and God knows we have ali need to be charitable one to the other ; let us join hands and drive these Yankees out. Let property and every thing else go to the common cause ; and then, when the good work is done, the survivors must take good care of the women and children. Who would not be too happy to take upon himself thia labor of love for the brave soldier, dead on the field of honor ? "I have written you a lonsr letter : yon msst be of good cheer." From the Chattanooga Rebel, August 15. Slieltcd Out. Dear, defiant, brave, "kit ditch" fellow-citizens, who have chivalrously left met2hind in Chattanooga, to he overcome by the enemy, why don't you come back and ece the lun ? The Yankees have not been here since you left, but have e?nt over eeveral noisy mccs'sngeia. About the hardest ca?3 1 have met yet fro to the other side of the river is a "spherics! ca32." As it came over in the air, I concluded it must be atmospherical. We have bad nothing but shells since the enemy came up the valley. The missiles fell about us here lost week bke snow flakes, and quite as harmless. The strests ate literally bouldercd with unexplcdcd shells, and the siege of Chattanooga is still, in consequence, an nnexploded humbug. We had she'ls for breakfrst yes terday, and expect to take a few more " on the naif shell" this evening, if not in battsr, at least " in batte ry." I have learned to dedge these little messenger 3 of the Yankees with astonishing agility. The other day two batteries from the other side opened on me, when I threw a double somersst ei soon as I paw the emoke, and caught ba'f adoz3n conicpl ba"s in my cat tsil pocket. Think I shaM l'ave here to day. My army, consisting of the Honorable Kwort Krg pnd mjcsJf, ia considerably demoraliz d. Our supplies are cut off. The enemy have got the range of Willy's store and Heiskell's grocery, and we arj cut off in both legs. We think of sanding a flag of trace over to Rc ly for a drink of p "ach brandy. In the meantime, we continue to survive. Oa" motto is " dum vivimrq vivamus." We intend to "vivimrs " to the last hour, and when the last trp'n Iravea, we intend to "vamors." Yoota unshel'rd, J.

The men are not ensumbered with & superabundance of clothing, but they have enough for the season, and are healthy, ac tive and full of confindence. In discipline, pluck and spirit to figtt they cannot be surpassed by any troops in the service, and you may confidently anticipate a good account of them when they encounter the enemy. The Missouri ans are anxious for a march into Missouri. They burn to avenge the wrongs of their helple ss friends at home, but they rely implicitly upon the clear b&d of their chief and are content to bide his time. Those journalists who have been croaking gloomily abcut the condition of matters in Northern Arkansas, can now see that they had no foundation for their gloomy croaking. But it is the cature of some men to be dissatisfied with everything, and to endeavor to put other people in the same nnhappy frame of mind. AUCTION SALES.. BY WILKES MORRIS, Aucl'r.
