The Memphis Avalanche advocates the "Black

the hellish miscreants who persist in polluting our
soil with their crimes. We will stop the effusion of
blood, we Will arrest the 6E5 of war, by terrific
slaughter of the foe, by examples of overwhelming
and unsparing vengeance. When Oliver Cromwell
massacred the garrison of Drogheda, suffering not
a man to escape, he justified it on the ground that

The decision in the case of Colonel Singletary

in rescuing the officers and crew of the French
frigate Prony, on the coast of North Carolina, from
a watery grave) has been &tatty made out, and has
come to light. The Newborn .Progress says: We

CONGRATULATORY ORDER OF GENERAL BRAGG TO
THE !LABEL FORCED.
GENERAL ORDER NO. 130
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF PENSACOLA,
Near PENSACOLA, Fla., Nov. 25, BBL I:
The signal success which has crowned our forty
hours' conflict with the arrogant and confident
enemy—whose Government, it seems, is hourly
looking for an announcement of his success in cap
turing our position—should fill our hearts with
gratitude tea merciful Providence. This terrific
hombarsiment of more than a hundred guns of the
heaviest calibre—causing the very earth to tremble
around us—has, from the wild firing of the enemy,
resulted in the loss of only seven lives, with eight
wounded; but twQ of them seriously—five of the
deatbs from an accident, and but two from the
enemy's shot. We have crippled their ships and
driven them off, and forced the garrison of Fort
Pickens, in its impotent rage, to slake its revenge
by firing on our hospital, and burning the habita
tions of our innocent women and children, who have
been driven therefrom by an unannounced storm
of shot and shell. For the coolness, devotion, and
conspicuous gallantry of the troops, the General

[From the Pensacola Observer, Nov. 80.]
For some cause, not yet explained, the fight com
menced by Fort Pickens last week suddenly ceased
on Bunday morning, and up to the present time has
not been renewed. It is supposed by some, says
the Montgomery Advertiser, that at the tune Col.
Brown opened fire on the defences of the Confede
rate forces he expected he would be supported in a
very short time by a very large portion of Lincoln's
armada, but that as only asmall number of the fleet
arrived, and those being unable to make any im
pression on our batteries, he deemed it advisable to
relinquish the attempt for thepiresent. Others
again think the attack was only a feint, for the par. ,
pose of learning the strength, position, and number
of the guns mounted by General Bragg. If this
was his object he most signally failed, and General
Bragg, while he had only the fort, and one or two
veccels to reply to, did not deem it necessary to
open his most effective batteries. should Colonel
Brown, on the arrival of the entire fleet; feel dis
posed to aid the vessels in forcing an entrance into
Pensacola Bay, he will be likely to be greeted with
storms of iron hail from powerful batteries, the ex
istence of which he does not now even dream. It
was one thing for a powerful fleet to pass the two
little forts at Port Royal, but it is quite another to
run the blockade which General Bragg has esta
blished at the entrance of Pensacola Bay, as the
enemy will find to their cost should they make the
experiment, The utmost confidence is expressed
by the Confederate officers, and by nil others who
have had au opportunity of examining the de-
fences, of the ability of our troops to resist any at
tack.
Burning Property.
[Frake, the CharleStou Courier, Nov. SO.]
The plantation of John Raven Matthews, Esq.,
situated on Bear Island, near the mouth of Ashen-
Poe river, was visited by the bing9lnito on Wed
nesday last. On their approach the proprietor,
with noble patriotism, set fire to his entire crop,
and was about placing the match to his residence
when a detachment of our cavalry arrived, and he
spared the house for the troops to quarter in. Mr.
Matthews is a most extensive rice and cotton
planter, and we learn has made a splendid crop this
year, which ho has sacrificed to the cause of his

The large increase of soldiers in Me State has

After some mention of private affairs, " Lizzie "
says: .
I suppose you have heard, before this, of the
Port Royal affair. It is really true, the Yankees
have possession. Beaufort has been deserted by its
inhabitants. Mr. Bayard came to the city last
weak, droned in a shahhy suit, that he would r,ot
have thought of wearing at one time, having lost
everything. His barn, filled with a splendid crop
of corn and cotton, to all of which he set fire and
burned down; lost all his negroes, except three
or four house servants. So Mr. flutter told Pa.
Many families who, a short month since, were weal

Charleston for twelve dollars a month.
" A /Ars, Dunn, who nod in great haste, after

all taken by the thieving Yankees. They have
visited Danfurkie Island, I believe. Mrs. Dunn
lives there, and taken Stoddard's norms. One
escaped by hiding himself.
Jimmy says a gentleman told him that the
enemy are shelling Tybee, but I've heard nothing
more of it. You know all the troops have been
withdrawn from the coast, and are now encamped
about the city. I wrote you of the safe arrival of
Anderson in a steamer bringing eleven thousand

all kinds, blankets and shoes, and a day after, the
arrival of a schooner, bringing coffee and salt.

Royal affair. General Drayton, who commanded
the South Carolina forces at Port Royal, has been
arrested as a traitor; they say lie ordered a retreat
before there was any necessity, as they had time to
save everything, instead of which, they retreated
with such precipitation as to leave their arms be

THE WAR IN KENTUCKY.
Rreekinridge "Backed Dowall—WaS Sick
at Rochester—Gen. Crittenden and Col.
Jackson at Calhoun.
A correspondent of the Louisville Democrat,
writing from Hartford, Kentucky, under date of
December 2, 1861, says:
Nothing of particular interest has transpired in
this vicinity of late, except the unexpected advent
of John C Breekinridge in this county, with save
-1%1 thousand thieves, and their unceremonious exit
from Rochester, at double quick, last Tuesday
evening. The cause of their sudden departure of
course is not known. Some attribute it to m an attack
made by Captain Netter on their sooute, at Para
din, and others attribute it to a panic at Bowling
Green.
Breckinriclge had a severe attack of yellow
jaundice while at Rochester, supposed to be the
effect of suddenly obtaining a large supply of pro
visions, he having been on short allowance for some
time past.
The troops did their usual amount of stealing, in
some instances crossing the river and stealing bed
clothing and other articles, from private families,
as Well as hogs and other army supplies.
General Crittenden is collecting quite an army
at Calhoun, while the gallant and patriotic Colonel
Jackson, with his superb cavalry, is a perfect
terror to all Secessia for thirty miles around Cal

Rebels Prepatisp, to Take Winter guar-
ters in Kentucky.
A correspondent of the same journal, writing
from Camp Boyle, Columbia, Ky., under date of
December 4, says:
- From the present indications and the oft repeated
declarations of Stanton & CO, we are induced to
believe that the rebels intend attempting to spend
their winter in Kentucky. For some time past
they have had an eye on Mills' springs, and have
repeatedly avowed Moir dotennination to put up
at that point during the winter, and open out in
the spring with a " grand national ball " at Lex
ington. It may be that their ardor in the prosecu
tion of treason has, for the moment, influenced them
to cherish such bright anticipations, and oonstruot
such magnificent air castles; but to us it appears
more like the boastings of a coward; the vain ye
porings of a desponding heart; the last glimmer-
ing ray of departing hope ; the gathering darkness
of despair.
That en attempt will be made to remain in
Wayne is highly probable bat that they will dare
show themselves this side of Cumberland river is
not at all supposable. As a confirmation of this
opinion, we have but to look at facts evinced by
their Men oonduot, and wo &au plalaly see that
they have no idea of fighting or being fought. The
destruction of all accessible ferries—the confiscation
of horses, mules, Jr.e., and the impressment
and unmistakably go to show
that if threatened with an attack they will move
back with their plunder and "save their bacon ;"
but if uninterrupted, they will remain in their pre
sent position, and live upon the fat things of the
land_
MISCELLANEOUS WAR NEWS.
An Important Army Order.
WAsnixwroN, December o.—General army order
No. 104 invites the attention of officers of the army
to the following, in addition to the cam of the
tiecretary of War embraced in the regulations for
the recruiting service :
First. The large number of enlisted men dis
charged on •° 'certificates of disability," bas at
tracted the notice of the General-in-Chief, and as it
is an especial duty to render the rank and file of
the army as effective as possible, the attention of
superintendents and other officers concerned either
with the enlistment of men or their discharge on ac
count of disability, is directed to the judicious die
charge of their respective duties.
The evidence is Abu :dents as attested by the re•
cords of the Adjutant General's office, that many
men have been enlisted who were unfit for service
prior to or at the date of allatment. It amid be
borne in mind that the law provides for the enlist
ment of "effective , able-bodied s, men, and if any
officer shall enlist any person contrary to the true
latent and nebulas of the law, it le further pro
vided that for every offence "he shall forfeit and
pay the amount of the bounty and clothing which
the person so recruited may have received from
the public, to be deduetedfrom the pay and emolu
ments of such officer."
With this object in view, paragraphs 980 and 981
of the Revised Regulations n 1914 be strictly com
plied with. A sense of duty to the public will
cause an enforcement of the laws and regulations
governing the service, and these must be the gui
dance of the officers obtaining recruits. MOM
cannot be too circumspect in the discharge of their
duties, and they are called upon to comply strictly
with all the regulations applicable to the subject.
Second. As to minors, every precaution should
be taken to prevent their enlistment, except as pro
vided by the regulations. A true record of their
age is of the greatest value. In a majority of cases
the reeruiting officer may ha justified to reeoialae,
the age as stated by the person offering to enlist,
yet many cases occur in which he should rely more
upon his own judgment and less on the reornit'§ af
srmatiou, in ascertaining his probable if not his
actual age. In every doubtful case, therefore, as
to the minority or over age of the man, it becomes
the duty of the officer to judge for himself, to a cer
tain
Mot, and net in any cam to accept a recruit
who, under his anxiety to enlist, manifestly mis
states his age.
Third. It will be obseried that the regulations
at this time contain no direct prohibition to enlist
married men. In the regimental service this must
be governed by the want of laundresses for com
panies, and in the general service by the superin
tendent.
Fourth. It is enjoined on all superintendents and
oilier officers, commissioned and 'non-commisslonad,
to conduct the service with diligence, unceasing
personal attention, and economy.
By command of Major General McClellan.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Among the important
Ammonia just tranamitted to Conran, by the Se

they took passage on the Trent, at Havana, paying
their passage money to the British consul; that
arrested they Were 11B 4 Acf tho protection of
the British flag, and were taken by an armed force,
which they feebly resisted, commanded by a person
in the' naval uniform of the United States." '
They state that the passengera, who etki,561.41 45 -

sistance' were kept back by a charge of fixed
bayonets, in the hands of a squad of marines. An

tt That, as the only person present representing the

in language as strong and emphatic as he could
express, to denounce the whole proceedzng as a
ptratical act."

regnant that a espy of it may LS sent to tho do

Captain Wilkes' report.
They make no allusions to themselves as being

of which they were ;,taken from the steamer by a
United States vessel.
The statement is signed by Slidell, Mason, Eustis,

Reports by Rebel Deserters.
Two deserters came into Gen. Sumner's head
quarters on Saturday. They have been at Boon
for SereralMentha, They state that the re
bels have 150,000 men at Centreville. They were
told that there was a much larger number than
that, but did not believe it. The rebels were in
daily expectation of an attack from us at threo
points. There were only about 10,000 soldiers at
Manassas. Gen. Sumner sent the men to Gen.
McClellan's headquarters, and after examination
by Gen. Marcy they were handed over to the Pro
vost
Recruiting for the Navy.
Recruiting for the navy, brisk as it is, is not brisk
enough to supply the demands of the service. One
Hundred and thirteen Teasels are now fitting out,
and 6,000 more seamen are wanted to man them.
The prestige of the navy, and the prospect of pass
ing the winter in the sunny South, ought to bring
the requisite number of men at ones. Flag Officer

The Naval Engagement at Hatteras Inlet
FURTHER FARTICULkRI
The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the New
York Herald, writing under date of Friday, says :
The United States steamer S. R. Spaulding ar
rived early this morning from Hatteras. By her I
learn the following particulars of a naval engage
ment between four of our gunboats and the Spaul
ding and two other vessels:
On the sth inst., the inhabitants of Hatteras had
a morning call from the enemy, who approached,
with two heavily armed vessels, within one mile
nearer our fleet than on any previous occasion, and
saluted our fleet there with several case shots. At
seven o'clock Captain Warden. of the Stars and
Stripes, opened fire ; but his shot fell about two
miles short. The enemy did not appear to be much
disconcerted ; on the contrary, they seemed to be
advancing as if nothing had happened. It was
about a quarter to eight when the rebels responded
to the shots of the Sears and Stripes. Their first
shell burst over the bow of their own vessel, but the
fragments of their second shot came within three
lengths of the transport steamer S. R. Spaulding.
The entire fleet, consisting of the gunboats Ceres,
Capt. McDermott; Putnam, Capt. ---- ; Un
derwriter, Capt. J. E. Jeffries; Stars and Stripes,
Commander Warden ; and last, though not least,
the S. R. Spaulding, opened in concert on the
rebel steamers. But one shot only came within in
timidating distance of the enemy, and that was from
the eighty-four-pound rifled gun of the Under
writer. During all this fire the rebel vessels were
advancing slowly, as if challenging our advance
ihto the Sound. The boat Piaui/der was the only
vessel in motion on our side during the entire en
gagement. This vessel is attached to the commissa
ry's department. At a quarter past 8 o'clock the
enemy withdrew, and during the entire engage
remit ies dii4l *he injured.
On Monday, the 2d inst., a most violent gale pre
vailed at Hatteras Inlet, even more fierce than that
of last month while our fleet was on its way to Port
Royal. Tents were blown down and trees up
rooted, but fortunately the tide was not as high as
on the former occasion, which saved the fortifica
tions from being inundated. The gale, however,
was of longer duration, and strong fears were en
tertained for the safety of the entrenchments.
At eleven o'clock on Monday night the schooner
Alen Alexavder, Captain Miles, having on board
about $lO,OOO worth of Government subsistence
stores, began to drag her anchor, after springing
aleak. She displayed a signal of distress, but owing
to the prevalent gale the naval vessels could not
render her any assistance. During the whole day
on Tuesday she thumped on the beach, and the
captain was compelled to run her on shore. On
Wednesday the schooner was found to be half full of
water, and more than twenty-five per cent. of her
cargo ruined. As Mali its practicable dm naval boats
Caine alongside, with offers of assistance, but Cap
tain Miles thought that he could manage affairs
himself, and had already set his colored deputies
at work discharging the stranded ship. During
the gale Captain Miles was washed overboard, and
all efforts to save him by lowering a boat would
have preyed fruitless had not a returning wave cast
him near the vessel, when he fortunately grasped
hold of a rope, and was by that means restored to
his vessel.
While the Spaulding was at Hatteras Inlet
twenty-two sail of vessels passed there, bound
South. These vessels were undoubtedly the" stone
fleet."
At two o'clock, on the afternoon of the 4th lost.,
the steamer William D. Raliney passed the inlet ;
bound for Fort Pickens.
The steamer Spaulding was ably handled by
her efficient commander, Captain S. Howes, who
displayed great skill and courage in replying to the
fire of the enemy from the two rifled guns on his
vessel. Between twenty and thirty shell and solid
shot were fired during the engagement. The
enemy at first fired short-range guns. allowing thoir
shells to burst near their own vessels, as a ruse to
draw our gunboats out ; but when they found out
that this game would not pay, they fired away front
longer range.
The troops at the inlet are all in good health.

[correppvpdepcv vE Why rross j
Lome-vette, Dec. 3, 1861. 1
Oar march from Elkwater to Beverly was-one of i
the hardest fever experienced, and I think• there
are few on record to equal it.. Most of the men had t
received contributions of different kinds-from-home
in the way of winter clothing, and consequently
Wore loth to throw them away, and therefore were '
obliged to carry them in their knapsacks, so that
many bad upwards of fifty or sixty pounds on their
backs. We started about 10 o'clock in the morning,
with tka "mud in places knee deep, and- In-140
place, during the whole route, was it less than shoe
top deep. Through this we trudged for eighteen
miles, only halting long enough tc take hicattlillirl

was with difficulty that we could drag-one foot after.
the other, and my limbs felt, every time I made a
step, as if they had been drawn out sf their sockets.
The colonel proposed to stop at abridge within three
miles of Beverly; but when he got there be found
that quarters were prepared for his men in the
town. The men had kept up so far, but when they.
to the bridge, and found they were not to atop,
numbers of them threw themselves down on the
bridge and slept till morning. But the majority of
the regiment kept on, but not with the regularity
that they had proceeded through the day. As I
went along I passed squads of men floundering
along, each man trying te MA a dry piece to walk
on; but it was no use in trying to follow them, for it
was like „ the blind trying to lead the blind;!'
so I went ahead on my own hook, passing Captain
Welke% Who Was sitting on a leg utterly need
nroi 'M4 1 4 1 W, , IliperrloM to 111 0 imikifyr '
ever,
I remained quite comfortab e n :
.stilred there the following day and night, being
quartered in the Seim& hospital. We did not
sleep much that night, for the boys were full
of fun ; one of them kept us legghleg V get- ,
ting an axe and standing guard at the door to keep
off the ghosts of two men, one of whom had 'but
one arm, and the other had no legs. It was rather
a serious thing to joke glint; is fact, it was not a
very pleasant place to be in anyhow, for some
thirty-two Secessionists had been lying there, muti
lated
in every conceivable manner by the bullets
of our men at the battle of Rion Neentein, It is
a singular fact that nearly every wound was in the
extremities, and in almost every instance proved
fatal, for out Of the thirty-two at least twenty died.
The Mt day we proceeded on our march, but, as
it was about the same thing all the way, it is hardly
worth while to mention it. We fared very well all
the way to Clarksburg, being quartered in towns,
where we slept in the ohurehee, haying good fires,
and making our beds out of the pews. There was
only one night that we suffered any, and that was
when we camped out, and bad to make up big fires
and EA% by them ail night to keep from freezing,
At Clarksburg we took the cars and proceeded to
Parkersburg, where we toek the boat, and came
down the river to Louisville.
At Beverly, the colonel had promised the men
that they should stop at Cincinnati and see their
friends, so that during the whale route the spirits
of the men were kept up in anticipation of seeing
their friends once more. The orders were to pro•
coed to Louisville without stopping at all. Bosley
telegraphed to General Mitchell at Covington to
ash permission to step for a few hours at Cincinnati,
but was refused. All the way down the river the
men had been upon the deck, cheering every house
they passed, and in the best of spirits.
But this was soon to give way to sadness and
tears. The boat arrived at Fulton, the upper part
of Cincinnati, at daybreak. The men were all on
deck, expecting to land soon, many' having staid
up all night in order to be ready. The regiment
was in two boats ; ours being the fastest was ahead,
and in order to let the other boat come up, and the
colonel being afraid to land for fear the men would
leave the boat, steamed up and down the river in
view of the city, unable to land, and thus tantalizing
the men by keeping them in view of their homes
and friends, whom they ware unable to visit sr
speak to. Our boat finally landed at Covington to
put off some freight, and even then they pat a
guard around the boat, and would not let the men
even speak to their mother's and Sisters who wore
on shore. After stopping some time, the boat
moved down the river amid the sobs of the women
and the curses of the men. It was the most cruel
that was ever done. The worst of it was that
Bosley had promised the amnia Mu' appealed id
that he wenid lead at Cincinnati, and thus got
rid of their importunities by a deception. It had
been published in the city papers that the fire bells
would ring when the boats arrived. By some mis
hap, the alarm was not sounded till the boats had
moved off, so that the people only arrived at the
landing in time to see the boats move out of sight.
I never saw such a change in the men. They were
perfectly broken in Melt: and all the way. to
Louisville they sat about with their heads between
their hands, without speaking or showing interest
in anything.
Even when we get to Loiday - bio, and found
several hundred of our friends who had come down
to see us, we could not get off the boat to even
speak to them. The consequence was that many
et the men broke the guard, while others
jumped into the water and waded ashore.
Those of the men that they could collect
together were marched to camp, where they
were dumped down in a ploughed field, in a
heavy rain and without tents, and expected to lie
down in the mud like pigs. The consequence was
that the men returned to town. Several hundreds
of them have gone to Cincinnati, and in spite
of the provost marshal and his guard our men
atilt go to Cincinnati, while others refuse to go
to camp till a furlough is granted to them to.
go home and see their friends. lam afraid that
unless something of the kind is done, the regiment
cannot be collected, and that the Sixth Ohio, ono of
the best regiment' in the service, is among the ,
things that wore. Efforts have been made to get
General Buell to grant the regiment a furlough, as
the only way to get them together. But he says
that he will see the regiment is a very hat place ,
before he will do so, and threatens that, if the regi
ment does not report all right to-him within five
days, he will make such an- example of it as has
never been heard of.
Letter from Port Royal
[Special Correspondence of The Press.]
HILTON 'NAM, Pert Royal, S. C.,
November 30t lgfil
Since my last weekly letter, the. most gamut
events here have been t'sl reconnoissances that
have been made in various directions, inland from
this poet. Tybee Island, which , is. distant at one
point only a mile from Fort Pis!Raki, was discovered
to be deserted by the rebel forces a week ago, and
detachments from the gunboats werelanded there
on the 24th instant, On the 26th, General Sher•
man, accompanied by two of his staff, Lieutenant
Magner and Captain Saxton, visited the island ;
they found upon it two forts, each having been
lll9lllltCd with four or five guns, but each not only
abandoned but dismantled. There was also a de
serted martello tower. Traces of a camp large
enough for a hundred men were also discovered,
but it had evidently been unoeeupied for at least a
week. Two or three of the guns upon Fort Pulaski
were brought to bear upon the party during their
stay on shore, and with a degree of accuracy that
showed there had been previous practice in firing
at the island, The place, indeed, commands the
entrance to Savannah harbor, and, if occupied by
us, may prove of importance, as shells, of course,
can readily be thrown from it within the walla of
Fort Pulaski.
Lieutenant Wilson, chief topographical engineer
of this command, was also despatched a few dap
ago upon a reconnoitring expedition into the waters
that lie in the interior of Skull creek, McKay
creek, and May river ; his object was to discover
the practicability of landing troops on the shore of
UM mainland, and the condition of the bays, bar
bers, and shores. He got within a mile of Bluffton,
where General Drayton is supposed to be at pre
sent with four or five hundred troops, but met with
no opposition whatever in his explorations. At one
ferry he drove in a picket of eight or ten Secession.
cavalry, who fled at the approach of our boats,
without firing a gun, and cotton houses were set
fire to in several instances as he approached ; this
was invariably done by the rebels. Everywhere he.
found the negroes ready and able to afford efficient
service ; rowing boats, acting as guides, and afford
ing sometimes important information relative to the
country. Everywhere the whites had apparently:
deserted their homes as soon as the occupation of
Hilton island by Federal forces had been consura
mated.
Lieutenant P. 11. °Take, or tha. edir 6f engi
neers, also on General Sherman's staff, made a still
more extended reconnoissance at the same time in.
the direction of Chadeston. He first passed over
St. Helena island, escorted by three oompanies of
the Seventy-ninth New York ; this island extends
from the northern side of Port Royal to. St. Helena
Sound, where he was received by the gunboats PM..
laza, Capt. Bankhead ; Cuthte s and Pateme, Capt.
Drayton; the Vixen, Capt. Bontelle,also accom
panied. These conveyed him across St. Helena Sound
and up into the rivers Coosaw and &hope°. On
Otter point, the northern side of the sound, he
found a deserted fort, and a small one on each of
the rivers mentioned.. AU were abandoned, and
the entire country up to within thirty miles of
Charleston is completely deserted by the white in
habitants.
The forts were in every instance mere field works
for at the most half a dozen guns. Lieutenant
O'Rorke penetrated ten or Muriel' miles into the in
terior, invariably discovering a similar condition of
the country. Cotton houses in various neighbor.
hoods were set fire to at his approach, but no other
indication of the recent presence of the whites was

homer with suck , haste, that the furniture remained
untemhed in their parlors, and even the silver
plate in their closets and on their sideboards. This
was particularly the case on the plantations of a
Mr. Jenkhle and of Dinh John Hank, recently of
Dlow York city. Captain Bankhead, of the Pent
biwa, at this latter place, found himself on the es
tates of MB cousins, and his name recognized by
their negro slaves. The property In the Vi

by the negroes, and was, of course, scrupulously re
spected by our troops. If Mr. Jenkins and Mrs.

The fliets.establiShed by these various reconnois
sances are that the entire frontier country of South
Carolina is at our mercy—is in fact deserted from
Fort Pulligfi, dirtainly to witido twenty or twenty
five miles of Charleston, and to a distance inwards
from the coast of from twelve to twenty miles.
Whether this is tbe result of a panic or a deliberate
abandonment, the military effect is the same, and
not only the military, bat the moral and social ef
fect. In all thioregion, cotton-burning and cotton
burying are telling place whenever a company of
Federal troops appear; the mestere Hee and the
slaves remain witnesses of the disaster which has
overtaken their masters ; the slaves are ready to af
ford any assistance to the Federalists they ere If yft

Northern men. The question cannot but occur to
every one who thinks—how long will they remain
thus inactive? Hitherto they have received lay
encouragement from the Federal forces, but one
trembles to think what a thin crust lies beneath
the feet of these mad Southerners, who themselves
put the torch to their own property in the yery
eight of their wondering slaves.
So far as can be learned, there is no rebel force
in this neighborhood nearer than Bluffton, and that
is too small to withstand for a moment any 4-
vanes of Federal troops. At Ifardeeville and
Grahamsville villages, to the southeast, and indeed
Lying in the rear of Savannah, we hear that larger
bodies of men tire collected. This is reported by
the negroes, who have begun coming into our lines
from both Charleston and Savannah. Some of
these have belonged to Major Lowndes, of the
ferfiler plain, Those from Savannah brought
newspapers of dates up to the 221 inst. They
left there on the 27th, and say that the abandon
ment of Manassas by Beauregard is reported in
gatiesbnh. We here hare no messes of knowing
whether or not they tell the truth.
A flag of truce was sent in by Gen. Drayton, a
day or two ago ; it was borne by three rebel offi
cers, who requested permission to remove tale re
mains of Dr. Buist, the surgeon of Fort Walker,
who was killed during the bombardment. The re
quest was promptly granted, the surgeon's body
disinterred, and escorted by Capt. Felouze, Adju
tant General ; Lieut. Shunk, chief of ordnance ;
and Dr. George Cooper, medical director of this
command it was conveyed to a Snel , acme Senn
miles from camp, where the flag party had been
detained A procession was then formed, and the
wholefparty, rebels and Federalists, marched a dis
tance of two miles to the ferry. Dr. linist'e bee.
ther was one of those who came from Gen. Dray
ton, and he as well as the other officers expressed
the highest appreciation of the courtesy with which
they wore treated. Dr, L i mper hod preserved the
watch, books, clothing, and surgical instruments of
the unfortunate officer, and these were restored, to.
his brother. The rebels manifested the greatest
surprise when informed that their cotton had as
yet been allowed to remain untouched by the
Union forces. They frankly acknowledged that
the harming was their own act, The entire inter.
view was conducted with dignity azel, courtesy oa
both sides.

A 314.-1 N named Thomas A. McGill, residing
at No. 292 First avenue, New York, on Sunday, in
a fit of insanity or intemperance, threw his own
mother out of a fifth-story window, killing her

bad lived together peaceably about a year in the
