TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, August 31.—Tho Tribune Washington dispatch says: r\e Letters received at the General Land Utfice from Maysville, California, speak of considerable activity in tho sales of Government Lands along tho lines of the completed and projected railroads.

On Sunday last two men, belonging to the rebel navy, arrived in this city, sent up from the camp at Point Lookout, and were incarcerated in the old Capitol prison.

Their story may be toll thu?: On the night of Wednesday, August '26th, Lieutenant Wood, of the Confederate Navy, left Richmond with 71 men and four boats loaded upon w&gonE, and about a dozen wagons containing stores, ammunition, &c.

The expedition proceeied across the Chick ahominy river, iking the route of tho army of tho Peninsula, crossed Pamunky and Mattapan rivers, and on Saturday reached Pcankatank river.

Hero the object of the expedition became known. On this river there is stationed a U. S. gun'ioat. Tho intention of Lt. Wood was to surprise tho gunboat and kill or capturo tho cre''', and then put to sea a8 a pirate, in caso the b^at was well provided with stores and ammunition.

He bad all that was requisite with him every preparation made for the success of tho expedition— men armed with rifles, pistols and cutlaces.

On Sunday the force divided—34 men going with Lieut. Wood, and the balance to remain with the wagons.

On Sunday night the party Bet out boats and soon reached the neighborhood of the gunboat.

Instead of surprising the crew, however, the rebels were themselves surprised. When within 300 yards the gunboat was suddenly illuminated, and such a deadly discharg^ was poured into their boats that only the Lieut, and 4 men escapcd.

The Times has advices from iNew Orleans to the l'Jth inst., via Cairo. Very important military movemonts were going on, b-it tlicir exact character we are left to imagine.

Wo aro assured, however, that wo shall soon bear of events which will rarke us rejoice.

Prices of tho necessaries of life have still further receded in New Orleans, in consequence of the continued arrivals from above.

Communication with St. Louis and other points is now considered quite regular. General Banks has recently issued two important orders. One directing General Butler's assessment to be enforced against parties who subscribed to the loan raised to dofend New Orleans against the Unitdd States authorith, and the other directing the banks of tho city to pay over to tho Quartermaster Department all moneys in their possesion belonging to registered enemies, or those convicted of rendering aid and comfort to enemies.

Tho Herald has Mexican dates to August Glh, statiug that Miuilatln had been captured by tho French, and that an expedition had boon started to occupy Tampico.

It was reported that Juarez was fleeing to Texas. A Mexican paper thinks there is danger of a war with tho United States.

FROM ST. LOUIS.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 31.---Tho Republican's Memphis special, speaking of matters in Ar~ kunsrts, sevs: Gen. l'ricc with 2f»,lHM) rwbels is at Bayou McTario, a strong point on White river, l'i miles above Duvall's Bluff, where a battle is expected to bo fought.

Our force nro now at, Din all's Blufl, f'l miles from Little Rock. This po'nt will probably be made the base for supplies, af. it an he reached by White river at it lowest stage of water.

Skirmishing is constantly King °"i but. our losses arc slight The rebel force in Southern Texas is estimated at 18,0110.

Magruder has enforced the conscription to its fullest extent. Tho rebel gunboat. Grand Duko, with 500 bales of cotton, was burned at Shrevenport.

FROM BALTIMORE.

BAI.TIMOUK, August 31.—The Richmond Inquirer of Saturday says tho War Department has nothing later itom Charleston than last night. lt is understood that Sumter, though seriously breached, will not bo abandoned.

Beauregard oxpressed the det.ermial.inn to hold it to tho bitter end. It is thought it may be done by erecting temporary fortifications.

The enemy's fire is divided between Siunter and Wagner. The bombardment is progressing slowly.

The death of Floyd is mentioned as having occurred on the 2flh.

FROM WASHINGTON. [TIMF3' il'ATCH.]

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.— I'lio enlistment of colored troops in tho lower counties of Mary land is progressing favorably.

Tho slaves aro glad to cnliat in order to cscapo scrvitue. Generally their owners nre rebel or secession vympathixers.

FROM CHARLESTON.

PpiLAiiKLniiA, Aug. 31.—Charleston papers of las!. Monday, gives the particulars of the bombardment of tho city by Gilmoro. Thirtoon shells were fired, twelve 8—inch shells fell in tho city. Tho firing commenced between 1 and 2 o'clock an Saturday morning, arousing the pcoplo from their slumbers. No person was injured. Most of the shells fell iu tho middle of the streets.— One cntored the warehouse of Williams & Co., coiner of King and Church streets and olplodod in the uppor story, making a large opening in tho brick wall of the Medical Purveyor's Store House, scattering things iu groat confusion. Some straw was ignitod, causing an alarm of fire, but was extinguished without trouble. Four shells fell in this locality.

FROM BOSTON.

BOSTON, August 31.—Tho fire in East Boston, which broke out at the head of Lombard's whaif about noon today, has been got uuder. Carrolton's wharf, aud also Brown & Lowell's wharf woro noarlv swept away. Tho buildings destroyed were mainly machine shops, whoso tenants wcro able to save a little from the flames. The buildings ou Tuft's wharf wero occupied by Atlantic works, which were built of both wood aud brick and covered a very large space. They wero building live turrets for Monitors now being coustiuctcd at Charleston and Portsmouth. It is not known how much they wore damaged, and it will not be ascertained for somo time. The destruction of tho machinery will cause delay iu finishing the turrets and will throw, temporarily, out of employment a large number of mechanics.

Tho Turret* aro valued nt $-10,0110 each. Total loss is estimated at $300,000. About half of it is insured.

NKW YOUR, August 31.—Tho steamer City of London arrived to-night at 7 o'clock, with one day's later news.

The priva'ser Florida, oft Kinsdale on the 17th inst., boarded a pi'ot boat and sent 3 passengers, sppo-ed to be Confederate Agents, ashore by her. Tne Florida was oft' Quoeusown on the l^th.

The Cork Herald had previously announced her expected arrival at Qnoenstown to effect shipment* rf men, and at the instance of the United Stitr.-r Consul, notice had been posted by the Post Admiral, to warn the people against any breach of the Foreign Enlistment act. lt« report that war vessels were ready to prevent any illegality by the des

truction of the American ship Nash, by a privateer off Qibralter, is confimed. Parties interested in the steamer Peterhoff, uqequivocally state that tho points stated by Judge Betts were proved, and say they can substantiate their case. A law case had been on trial in England, clearly showing that the Peterhoff hod been previously engaged in carrying contraband goods.

The Confederate Loan declined to 29@27 per cent discount. The Mexican and Polish questions are in slatu quo.

The notes of France and England sent to Russia, are represented as quite pacific. The Morning Post thinks if tho Russian reply is unfavorable, the Poles should be recognized as belligerents.

LIVKBPOOL, August 20. —A steamer from Cork, at Liverpool, saw the Florida lying too, off Tuscan at 5 P. M. on the 19th. Two hours later sh« saw a Federal merchantman from Liverpool, proceeding toward Tuscar.

FROM RICHMOND, VA. Na\v YOKK, Aug. 31.—Richmond papers of the 19th, contain the folloing:

Six hundred Yaukne cavalry advanced up the peninsula on Thursday as far as New Kent Court House, and a detatchment came came up later in the day to the vicinity of Bottom's Bridge over the Chickahominy, l.r miles below Richmond. At (his point they exchanged a few shots with our pickets, and it is said several on each side were killed and wounded. Wo don't think that much blood was spilled,

Our pickets were however diivcn iu, but beforo retiring they removed the floor of the bridge and prevented tho further advance of the enemy in that direction.

It is by no means certain that the Yankee", designed to extend their reconnoisance this sido of the Chickahominy, as they'made no attempt to do so, but returned down tho Peninsula. Whether tlicy came from Williamsburg or were landed from transports at tho W'hitc House, we have not ascertained

An officer of Gen. Et/.y's staff, who returned yesterday from a scout as far as New Kent C. II reports that ho saw no indications of a hostile force, but was informed at the Qourt House, that six hundred had visted that place on Thursday The strength of the invaders wan greatly exaggerated by tho first reports, which .u litd tho city.

FROM WASHINGTON.

WAsniNGTow, Sept. 1.—Illinois recently professed a claim for about $470,000 against the Government, for 2 per cent of the proceeds of tho sales of all public lands in that State, for road purposes.

Acting Secretary Otto has decided against tho claim. This is also applicable to Ohio and Indiana in similar cases.

WASI^^'-TON, Sept. 1.—A report roached Washington to-day, that a largo number of the rebfl army yesterday crossed the Rappahannock at l'ort Conway, for the purpose, it is supposed, of Hanking Gen. Meade, although such a movement is not improbable. The report needs confirmation.

The bids opened ycsteiday to supply the Government with flour, rango from $6,10 to $7,Of) for No. 2, and from $G to $0,30 for No. 3. There were only two bids furnishing No. 1 lrom $G,03 to $7,25—229,000 bbls wero offered. It was decided to take all flour offered at $6,30 and under, amounting to about 38,000 barrels.

FROM MISSOURI.

JEFFERSON CITY, Sept. 1.—The radical Emancipationists mot here iu State Convention to-day and effected a permanent organization, with Judgo Wells, of Coles county, in the chair, and two Vice Presidents from each Congressional District.

Four fifths of the couuties iu the State were represented, and other delegates yet to arrive.

Candidates for Supreme Judges of the Stato wero to bo nominated. The following resolution created the wildest enthusiasm and was referred to the Committeon icsolutious, relying upon tho unanimity of feeling existing between tho Union men of Misfturi and Illinois. We retpectfully request tho latter, while assembled in mass meeting at Springfield, to join us in appealing to the President for snch change iu tho Administration in tho Departmentof Missouri as will correct the evils of the policy of pro slavery concession to the rebols which has permitted the massacre at Lawrence, and uutlor which truly loyal men in Missouri are, to-day, suffering the inflictions of a murderous civil strilo from tho presonce of largo uumbtrs of tho ouemios to tho Government, while every foot of her soil is under Fedoral rule.

A resolution was adopted, declaring it expedient that this Convention make necessary arrangements for calling a Constitutional Convention to adopt and submit other meas ures as will tend to pacify tho State.

KANSAS CITV, September 1.—Abont sixtv persons, chiefly heads of families residents in this city, who aro belied to be aiders and abettor-- of the rebellion, or 9trong sympathizers with it, have been ordered to remove from the district by t^eueral Ewing. The list iucludes many of tho wealthiest and most influential families in this vicinity. Their houses are to be taken for the families of Union refugees. Many orders lar the removal of leading sympathizers at Westport and Independence are also being made out.

FROM

PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1.—The BuUetin has the following dispatches FORT. MOHKOK,

August 29.—Gen. Wizan's

cavalry jost returned to Yorktown from an expedition to Bottom's Bridge. The force engaged-waa part of the 1st N. Y. mounted rifles, and the 5th Pa. cavalry.

The expedition left Williamsburg on the 26th inst., and pushed through New Kent O. H. directly to Bottom's Bridge. At the latter place, one rebel regiment of infantry, in rifle pits was found, which was supported by a squad of cavalry. A charge was immedl atcly made and the rebel rifle pits carried and the rebels driven across the bridge, which they took up behind them.

We lost one killed and one wounded. We captured 5 prisoners the enemy left for dead on the ground—1 officer, 1 sergeant and men. They also carried off a number of dead. The bridge being impassible and the object of the expedition being entirely accomplished, they returned with much valuable information

FROM KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE, September 1.—Further ac coHnts of the affects of Sunday night's frost are still conflicting. Consiierable damange was done in Henderson and Davis counties. One grower has been purchasing here to day, and he and others have ordered their consignees to decline selling tobacco at present. This movement caused an adAance of one to two dollars to day. Other equally reliablh parties say no tobacco has been injured ii Henderson and Davis counties. No injury occurred iu Harding and Larue counties, nor in the Clarksville region. We hear of injury to the tobacco crop from several places in Indiana.

FBANKKORT, September 1.—Gov. Bramlotte is inaugurated. In his inaugural be contends that the revolted States did not change their status by rebelling and that all that is necessary is for thom to return to their foalty, to take their position as States that rebellion did not remit them to a tentorial status. Ho says wclhavo now, and will have when the rebellion closes, the identical constitution which tho extremists seek to destroy, the one by innovation, the other by force. It is not a restored Union, not a reconstructed Union that Kentucky desires, but a preserved Union aud a restored peace upon a constitutional basis.

Tho Governor strongly objects to the arming of negro regimonts and asks what is to be done with such soldiers at the close of the war. Ho points to the result of recent olections as proof, that Kentucky will not fraternize with rebellion cither open or covert, and declares that Kentucky has over been, now is, and always will romain loyal to the Government of our fathers.

EROM CHINA.

SHANGHAI, July 4.—The city isquiot. The Imperialists attacked Nanking and captured the out works.

The rebel force is estimated at 12,000. There is considerable sickness at Fort Gilson, but few deaths, howover.

The small pox prevailed to some extent among the Indians in that neighborhood, and many had died.

It was reported at Fort Scott on the 28th, that Blunt had bad a battle and had been whipped with a loss of 300.

FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.—The Tribuno'a dis patch says advices have been received at the Treasury Department, stating that contrary to all expectation, further search oil the wreck of the Ruth, has brought to light a portion of the Government funds, supposed to have been burned.

Packages taken out were burned to the depth of an inch, nnd charred to the center. In some cases the denomination can be distinguished. A special agent will at once be sent on to take charge of the money so recovered. Meanwhile, tho agent there wiU continue the work with divers.

Thirty colored refugees from St. Charles county, arrived here to-day, and reported to Capt. Johnston.

They state that the rebel oflicers aro busily engaged in conscripting negroes and hiding them in the pines, until an opportunity offers to carry them away.

They also repo^ that gun», swords, pistols, &c., aro accumulated there, having been gathered upon various battle-fields by rebel sympathizers, and forwarded to the rebels of that county, by whom they are sent to the rebel army.

The following is from an issue of the Charleston Courier: "The citizens and house-keepers generally are directed to notice the recommendation that a constant supply of water be kept on hand to extinguish the lire of the enemy's incendiary shells exploding in the city."

A Richmond paper, of the 29th of August, say 8:

Lieutenant Wood arrived in this city yesterday. He captured the gunboats Reliance and Satelite and three schooners in the Rappahannock. The steamers and two of the pchooners he secured, but the other drew so much water he could not get her up the riv» er, and was obliged to burn her.

Beware of the innumerable array ef Alcoholic preparations in plethoric bottles, and big bellied kegs, under the medestappellation of Bitters which instead of curing, only aggravate disease, and loavo the disappointed sufferer in despair.

HOOFLAND'S GERMAN BITTERS Are not a now and untried article, but have sttod the test of fifteen years trial by the American public and their reputation sale, are not rivalled by any similar preparati n.

The proprietors have thousands or Letters from the most eminent CLERGYMEN,

From J. Newton, DD., Editor of the En cyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, throngh distrust of their ingredients and effecis I yet know of no sufficient reason why a man may not testify to the benefit ho believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that ho may thus contribute to the benefit of others.

I do this tho more readily in regard to Hoofland's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. b. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against tliem W many years, nndcr tho impression that thoy were chiefly an alcoholic mixtnre. I am indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for tho removal of this prejudice by proper tests, and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and long continued debility. Tho uso of threo bottles of theso Bitters, at the beginning of tho present year was followed by evident relief, and restoration to a aegree of bodily andental vigor which I had not Ml for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for dirrectlng mo to the uso of them.

LOOK! LOOK!

IMPORTANT TO SOLDIERS.

~We call the attention of all having rofatr8TfB"or,»--friends in the army to the fact that "Hoofland'a German Bitter's" will cure nine-tenths or the diseases induced by exposures and privations incident to camp liTe. In the lists published almost daily iu the newspapers, on the arrival ofthealck, it will be noticed that a very large propertion aro suffering from debility. Every case or that kind can be readily cured by Hooiland's German Bitters. Diseases resulting from disorders of the digextive organs are Bpeedily removed. Wo havo no hesitation in stating that, if these Bitters were freely nsed among our soldiers, hundreds or lives might be saved that otherwise will be lost.

We call particular attention to tho following remarkable and well-authenticated enre of one of the nation's heroes, whose life, to uso his own language "has been saved by the Bitters:"—

HlLADKLPHtA, AugUSt 23, 1862.

Messrs. Joxaa A ETAKS:—Well, gentlemen, you Hcofland'a German Bitters bas saved my lire. There Is no mistake in this. It is vouched for by immbere of my comrades, some or whose names are appended, and who were fully cognisant of" all the clrcnmBlances of my rase. I am, and havo beefl fcr the last four years, a member or Sherman's celebrated battery, and under the immediate command of Captain R. B. Ayres. Through the exposure attendant npon my arduous duties, I was attacked in November last with inflamaticn or tho lungs, and wa* tor seventy-two days in the hospital. This was followed by great debility, heightened Dy an attack of dysentery. I was theu removed from the White House, and sent to this city on board the steamer State of Maine, from which I landed on the 28th June. Since that time I have been about as low as any onecould be end still retain a Bpark of vitality. For a week or more I wis scarcely able to swallow anything, and in force a morsel down. It was Immediately thrown up again.

I could not even keep a glass or water on my stomach. Lire could not last under such circumstances and, accordingly, the physicians, who had been working raithrully, though unsuccessfully to rescue me from the grasp of the dread archer, frankly told me they could do no more for me, and advised me to see a clergyman, and to make such disposition of my limitecninds as best suited nie. An acquaintance who visited me at the hospital, Mr. Frederick Steinbrown, of Sixth below Arch street, advised me, as a forlorn hope, to try yoar Bitters, and kindly procured a oottle. Promt time I commenced taking them the gloomy shadow of death receded, and I am now, thank God fort. getting better. Though I have taken but two bottles, I have already gained ton pounds, and 1 Tee sanguine or being permitted to rqjoin my wilo and daughter, rrom whom I havo heard nothing for gighteen meuths for, gentle me-, I am a loyal VirOinian, from the vicinity of Front Royal. To your Invaluable Bitters I owe the certainty of lifo which has taken the place or vague fears—to your Bitter will I owe the gloricns privilege of again clasping to my bosom thore whe aro dearest tojme in life.

Very truly yours, ISAAC MA LONE

We folly concur in tho truth or the above statement as we had despaired or seeing our comrade Mr. Malone, restored to health.
