In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this'fif teenth day of July, ia the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred [L. 8.] and sixty-three, and of the independ ence of the United States of America the eighty-eighth.

Davis, of the 1 '1st Pennsylvania volunteers, who arrived in this city yesterday from Gettysburg, we learn that it is not true, as reported, that the rebel Gen. Kemper was killed at the battle of Gettysburg. He is now lying at Brean's Mill, three miles from Gettys burg, having been shot through the breast, the ball lodging in his back. He was in command cf a portion of the force comprising the forlorn hope of the rebels, and was wounded in the la.->t desperate charge made by the latter to re trieve their lost ground. When Gen. K. fell, his staff supposed him to have been wounded beyond recovery, and in order to save themselves from capture left him on the field, expecting he would d>e in a few moments. He was, however, found by our men in time to have his wounds attended to, and is now in a lair way of recovery. Both Union and rebel papers have reported him killed, and the letter do not jet know to the contrary. Gen. Kemper is a Virginian. Col. Patton, of the 7th Virginia (rebel) in fantry, and a State Senator elect to the rebel Virginia Legislature, was also left upon the field as dead; but he, too, is in a Federal hos pital, aud with a prospect of recovery. A COMMISSIONER. Mr. Wemyss Jobsoo, of London, has arrived in this city, for the purpose oi proposing an adjustment ot the difllculties between the North and the South. He has had an interview with some of the governmental authorities, but we believe found them not disposed to ??adjust" with the rebels on any terms short of the old ones of uncouditional submission on their part, and an agreement hereafter to keep step to the music of the Union. As Mr. Jobson j professes to be acting in behalf of the European i Republicans, it might be well for him to con- j ler with Mr. Moncure Conway, wlio has gone I to Europe on a similar mission in >>ehalt ot the American Abolitionists, and the two might ; associate themselves with Mr. W. Cornell Jewett, of Colorado Territory, General Pacifi- j cator, and the trio may perhapsbe able to cook up bomething worthy the attention of the j world in the rdjustment line. TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Naw York, July 15.?A negro was met on Thirty-second street early this mornUg by a Zouave, who advised him to return to his house. The negro became excited and shot the Zouave dead.

Some upon Twenty-seventh street were also entered, and Alfred Dudley killed by the fiends. Cruelties of the worst kind have also been practiced on the blacks, such as furniture broken and houses set 011 tire.

I have the honor to report that at live o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst., I made an attack upon the enemy's fortified position 1 on the south end of Morris Island, and after I an engagement of 3X hoars, captured all his i strongholds upon that part of the Island, and pushed forward my infantry to within 600 yards of Fort Wagner. We now hold all the Island except about 1 mile on the north end which includes Fort Wagner and a battery on Cwmming's Point mounting at the present time 11 or 15 heavy guns in the aggregate. The assaulting column was gallantly led by Brig. Gen. Strong. It landed in small boats i under cover of my batteries on Folly Island ! and four monitors led by Rear Admiral Dahl I greii, which entered ihe main channel abreast ) of Morris Island, soon after our batteries j opened. The monitors continued their fire ' during the day mostly on Fort Wagner. On the morning of the 11th instant, at day : dreak, an effort was made to carry Fort Wag ner by assault.

The Republican, thk Chronicle and the Public Schools.?Tio belated Republican, which never discovered that the school exam-^ inations were in progress until they were halt through, and then only through eleemosynary aid, picked up a detached report of here and there a school, not having the enterprise in any case to send a reporter, charges upon the Star that it is ahead of time in publishing the awards ot premiums on the same afternoon they are announced at the Smithsonian We have to inform tbo Republican that the Star has always thus published them, and it our neignbor would devote one half the atten tion and space to the schools and to school affairs that the Star has uniformly done, its suddenly professed interest in such matters would not put it in so ridiculous an attitude. The Chronicle also, which has shown its zeal in behalf of the public schools to the exteutof copying verbatim, typographical errors and all, the Star's reports of the examinations, takes elaborate pains at a large outlay of words to correct the Star in the statement that the Rev. Dr. Gray offered prayer at the Smithsonian yesterday. He did not pray, and the Rev. Dr. Morsell did, the Chronicle says. Is it pos sible! Communication Opened.?This morning the repairs on the line of the Washington Branch Railroad were completed, and the train leaving Baltimore at 8 o'clock this morning arrived here about noon, bringing the mails and thn Northern papers. Yesterday the mails and much of the baggage of the passengers were transferred at Lanrel by way of the turnpike bridge, but the trains each way this morning carried off the large amount of baggage and express freight which had accumulated at this point. Another train leaves this afternoon, but after to-day the old schedule of six trains each way per day will go into operation. The president and the various officers and em ployees of the company, as well as Col. McCal lum. of the military roads, deserve much credit for their promptness and energy in having the necessary repairs made at once. A Riot.?About noon te-day a fight occur red near the corner of Indiana a venue and Firs t street, between two soldiers, in which one or two pistol skots were fired, bnt fortunately without effect. The pistols were then used over each other's heads, and one of them was badly cut about the face; the other also being badly used. The reports of the pistols im mediately brought together about thirty sol diers, friends of the combatants, who joined in the fight, and a number of citizens who where near by also "went in." For a short time things looked squally, and it was feared that something serious would happen, but a guard of the 14th N. H. were promptly on the spot, and arrested three of the principals,(who were taken to the Central Guard-house,) and dis persed the others. A Good Haul.?Yesterday about 7 o'clock p. m., as officer Clineof the First Precinct was going the round of his beat, east of the Ana coBtia, he noticed three men in q. stage coach approaching this city. Suspecting that they were not right, he followed them. The guards at the bridge allowed them to pass, but Cline was not satisfied, and pushed on after them and arrested them. He took them to the Pro vost Marshal, where they gave their names as H. Hamberger, Moses Mann and Wm. Lutz bocker, all Germans, and claim to be mer chants. Upon search IMG,000 in Confederate money was found upon them. They are sup posed to have been engaged in trading with Richmond, and were returning from a trip. Capt. Todd sent them to the Old Capitol. Latmt Quotations?W asHurerow mow by Market.?Furnished by Lewis Johnson M Co., Bankers. _ Buying. Selling. U. S. Coupon Bonds, 18B1 ......105^ 106^ U. s.s'ao's par ?
