Attack on Ge*»>u T‘»»t.
The of tack of tli« enemy’* fleet on
Port McAllister, near the mouth of the
(treat Ogeechoe, was nil the sensation
in <nr city yesterday. About breakfast
hour the booming of heavy guns canto
up from . a southern direction. The
wind was duo south and the reports
were heard so distinctly that one unac
quainted with the coast would have
located the scene of action not more
than three or four miles distant. About
ten o’clock a courier arrived from tins
side of the river, confirming the general
impression that the enemy were attack
ing our battery atOunesis Point, on the
Great Ogecchee. By a special train,
whiob left with reinforcements for the
garrison and river banks, wa dispatch
ed a reporter to Way’s Station, on the
Gulf Bond, the nearest point to the bat
tery and with communication by cour
iers. The particulars of the flint; so
far as they hsd touched tho Station,
will bo found in the dispatches under
the appropriate head.
It appears that the enemy, wearied
with long gazing in the mouths of our
guns, ana chagrined by former repulses,
conciudod to mako a grand dash at the
works with a fleet of seven vessels, two
of them being iron-clad*. For five
hours and t half they poured a torrent
«jf iron upon our iutropld garrison, but
all to no purpose. Finding themsolves
again thwarted in their plot against the
railroad bridges and rioh plantations
on tho river, they retired in disgust.
Not a man, it is said, was hurt on our
side, though the shot and shell fell
thick around them and did so.no dam
age to the breastworks— Sav. Rep._
j®*The New York Herald of tho
12th instant (money article,) says:
“Our recent military experience lias
set at lest tho suhjoct of a loan. The
banks have already invested their whole
capital in government securities. The
public are unwilling to buy any more
public bunds until they soe more dear
ly than they do at present a prospect
of the suDprosaion of the rebellion.
And no other resource is now left to
tho government but tho issue of moral
legal teuder notes. This policy has
been reluctantly adopted by the Secre
tary of the Troasury, whose hostility to
further issues of papor is manifested in
his report and by practical financiers,
such as Messrs. Spaulding and Hooper,
' of the Committee of Ways and Means.
But necessity has no law, and it ts now
clear that the government must either
rely upon fresh issues of paper or stop
the war. Thero is no middle course,
Had our arms heon crowned with suc
cess-had we taken Richmond and
Vicksburg—had our generals succeeded
in seouriug a million bales of cotton to
supply tho market with ah adequate
amount of bills—in that case a loan
might readily have been negotiated,
ana a step taken toward a return to
sound principles of finance. But the
ill success Whioh has thus far attended
our military enterprises, and the want
of confidence which the policy of the
government has engendered in the
public mind, have rendered, it utterly im-
poerible to negotiate a loan at the pretent time
on any ternu. Fresh issues of paper will,
of courso, involve grave inconveniences.
VTe shall witness an unparalleled in
flation, and prices will advance, as if by
magic, beyond all previous experience
ana beyond all reasonable expectation.
The currency will be largely deprecia
ted, though its convertibility and the
resources of the North will prevent Us
becoming absolutely worthless. But,
on the other hand, government will
obtain the mean* of carrying on the
war—whioh it could not do by any
other means.
A Cantina—Erysipelas.
The Augusta Constitutionalist says
that “great care should be taken' that
the matter for vaccination should bo
taken from a peifeotly healthy person."
We learn, it says, “yesterday of a dentil
occurring in this city, under very
shocking circumstances, from erysipe
las or some similar disease, communi
cated by vaccination with diseased
matter.”
We have also hoard of several cases
in which erysipelas has followed vacci
nation in less than twent yfour hours,
as it was supposed, with diseased matter.
But we know of a case in which tho
discaso has followed vacoination, the
matter being taken from a perfectly
healthy subject, and being used nt
the same .time in vaccinating several
individuals of tho same family, upon
whom no such efffe-t is produced up to
this tiin«— the vaccination having been
submitted to last Sunday. From this
it appears that erysipelas will follow
vacoination from healthy as well as dis
eased matter, unless tho theory of nn
eminent medical gentleman with whom
we havo just conversed, ho true, to
wit: that vaccination front the matter
of n person who has been re-vaccinated
—that is, vaccinated* the second time
—should they not prevail, as it is ant
to produce, not only erysipelas, bill
other diseases. Our medicnl friend
says that no ono should he vaccinated
from the matter taken from a second
vacoination—and to us his reasoning
was convincing that his theory was
correct. We would, therefore, caution
our readers to be careful that the matter
is genuine, and not spurious, with which
they are vaccinated; that being con
sidered genuine whioh is taken from
the arm of a healthy individual who
has been vaccinated once, and with
genuine matter.
Should the "Doctors disagree" on
this, as no one enn certainly he hurt
by following tin theory of our modical
friend, it would be well for all to follow
it, as wo presume with some little ex
ertion, the genuine matter, from heatlhy
subjects, can now be easily procured
in any eity in tho Confederacy.—Atlanta
Intelligencer.
Woolen Factory Burned.—On Mon
day, the 12th instant, the largo Wool
Curding Factory, located near Lincoln
ton, N. C., accidently took fire and was
entirely consumed, together with nil
the machinery, much of which was en
tirely new. The property was owned
by Col, L. I). Childs, one of the. probri
etors of the Saluda Factory, near ’ Col
umbia, S. C., who lo-<t by a similar cause
some weeks since, an extensive cotton
factory situated nt the samo place.
There was no insurance, and is conse
quently, a total loss.
The Intercepted Dispatches.
The aftairof the intercepted dispatch
es seems to hayo excited in a very tran
sient manner tho public mind. Tho
sensation it produced hardly suvvivod
(wenty four houi-B.. The general con
clusion arrived at appears to bo that
the disclosure they make arc not very
important, and little injury, if any, is
likoly to onsuo. to the Confederate
States.
On two points, with reference to the
matter, there is ono unanimous seiili-*
ment,. First, that Mr. Benjamin’s spec
ulations* about the motives of Louis
Napoleon wero entirely out of place
prior to the''settlement of the question
whether the acts of tho French agents
in Texas were authorized by him or
not. Second, That the interception of
tho dispatches is very strange. How
could it happen ? It is the general cus
tom to toko precautions to prevent the
cnorny from getting important papers
in transitu upon tho seas—such precau
tions, indeed, os' arc certain. How,
tiicn. wore they seized ? How was it
that tho simple means usually employ
ed were not resorted to prevent this ?
This is a matter, of courso, for tho
Government to look into, and the
event is one of those expensive lessons
of experience which should bo turned
to nccount in futuro.— Richmond Dis-
patch. ■
How it Havpened.—We understand
that Major Reid Saunders, contrary to
advice, purchased a small yatcht and
loft Charleston in it—and that ho had
a crew who betrayed him.
As soon ns ho got out of the port, the
crew tied him and steered for the fleet,
and delivered him up to the Yankees.
This accounts for lus dispatches not
being destroyed.—South Carolinian, 28th.
Piety in a Geneuxl, -The Chaplain
of the 5th Kentucky Regiment writes
of Kilby Smith:
Before going into the battle at Rich

gave thanks to God for the victory.—
When at Loxington, Ky., the minister
at the Episcopal Church refused to offi
ciate on thanksgiving day, and Gen.
Smith arose, read a chapter, led in
irayor, and finished tho services. In

was the only General who, succeeded in
his part ot the programme.

Tiie Condition or the Yankee Akmv
—A New York lotter of the 22d says :
In four months the time of service of
some thirty-eight iegiments .from this
State will be up, and tiie question us to
their disposition is now under consider'
ation by the military uuthorilios. UoV'
ernor Seymour is understood to lie in
favor of their return hbnie and subse
quent re-cnlistnicnt. Some of these
regiments, however, do not number,
rank and file, ot crone hundred men
each, and the question in whBt manner
these shattered remnunts of regiments
are to be recruited up to their full nunv
bers will probably prove a difficult one
to answer. The Adjutant General, how
ever, will, it is expected, soon issue an
order in regard to tiie matter.

.comroenced.upon n. portion ol'-our lines.
.We learn that heavy onnnoiiadiug was
heard at. Manchester Friday, which we.
confidently believe - is tho opening of
the Ball in . tho wuy of skirmishing,
whioh may extend in.a measure along
our lines, unless the enemy should
“shell out,” whioh is not very improb
able ns their ammunition and other
trains stand, a tail- chance of being cut
oft’and destroyed, for Kosencrans is so
completely hemmed in by our "irregu
lar" cavalry (as an English #lficcr terms
them) that lie cannot send out a forag
ing party over three- miles—and they
have to ho supported by an entiro
Brigade of infantry.
Since writing tho above, our report
of the skirmishing has been confirmed,
Tho enemy came out twelve miles on
the Shelby ville l’iko from Murfreesboro,
with a foraging party in ibreo, com
posed of a Brigade of infantry und six
poioes of artillery, und made a vigorous
attack upon our cavalry, driving them
back a short distance, with theT shells,
when our cavalry masked themselves
in 'lie limber, near old l-’ostorvillo on
tiie turnpike, and with tho assistance
of Hen. Anderson's Brigade, which hap
pily arrived in time, repulsed them
\yitli a loss on their part of 300 in killed
and wounded, and a small loss on our
side.
We may iook for “heavy skirmishing”
daily from this date, and with Gen.
Joe Johnston to direct, ivc may also
look for a general engagement within a
week or ten days—and feel confident
of success.— Winchester (Tain.) Bulletin,
