IMPORTANT ITEMS FROM RKBELDOM
The Cbaileston Courier, of the 1 1th, gives
tne lull particulars or tbe engagement at II il
too Head and Bay Point. It says : "Unfor
tunately at ao early period in tbe action the
large 10 ioeh Columbiad io Fort Walker, in
consequence or tbe bad working of tbe eccen
trie, became altogether unmanageable, and
coold oot again be osed daring tbe action.
The storm of iron bail that came hiesins tbro'
the sir from the fleet after this accideut was
beyond all description. It was more like the
noise of tbe winds roaring tbrongb the rigging
or a vessel in toe midst or a tempest. 1 rovi
dentially, however, op to 12 o'clock, although
there bad been marvelously hair-breadth
escapes, not a man bad been killed. At that
hoar, however, tbe enemy bad succeeded in
entirely enfilading tbe battery with bis fleet,
and commenced a tremendous Gre in a direct
line against the fort, which proved very de
tractive. "There were 11 killed sod fifteen wonnded
ioside the fort, ten of tbe former and twelve of
the latter being of the German battallion ofoar
Side portion of the fort, against which tbe fire
of tbe eoemy was principally directed. The
vessels had all the advantage of fair weather
sod s smooth sea. Tbe light breeze blowing
00 the shore at tbe time, was also favorable to
tbe fleet, the smoke from their cannon being
driven directly in tbe faces of our troops in
the battery at Fort Walker. The huge vol
nrae of smoke thus poared forth at times
completely concealed tbe whole of tbe ap
proaching vessels from the view of those io tbe
fort.
The maooovering of tbe vessels was admit
ted by some of the best naval officers to have
been grandly executed. As quickly as oar
batteries obtained range of the enemy's ves
sels, so as to bear npon them effectively, tbey
immediately changed their position, and
again our artillerists were compelled to get
range only by practice."
Tbe Savannah Republican, of tbe 9th, soys :
"Oar city was io s state of intense excitement
throughout tbe wbole of yesterday The
news of tbe capture of the Walker Buttery,
00 Hilton Head, and tbe arrival of oar re
treating troops, among them many of tbe
wobnded, aroused ao Intense feeling. Every
body was in tbe street, and large crowds col
lected around tbe news and telegraph offices
throughout tbe day and until late at night.
Families commenced packing op. Large
numbers of females and children were sent
from tbe city by tbe night train to tbe op
country. Tbe efflux will probably continue,
sod opon the wbole we think tbia portion of
oar population should net be present to em
barrass oar defenses."

There ia now in the Uniled State servis in

C3T Capture or Slidell and Mason
Tbe news of tbe capture of Slidell and
Mason, two of tbe most distinguished Sou
thern traitors, who bad escaped in s steamer
from Charleston during s dark and stormy
night, 00 their way to Earope, as ministers
of tbe Confederates, has caused s great
excitement, and gives almost universal satis
factiou. Commodore Wilkes has Derformed
great service by taking tbia responsibility
without orders, and his gallant subordinate,
Lieut. Fairfax, himself a Southerner and a
relative of Mr. Mason, deserves immortal
credit for bis loyalty ami patriotism io making
the capture. The Euglisb will, no doubt,
bluster, and ask ao explanation for taking
individuals from their vessels by force. Io
addition lo these, the arrest of Ex-Senator
Uuiuo and two other traitors, from California,
will have tba effect of opening the eyes of
many to the danger of treason to their
country.

THE POUT HUIAL AFFAIR.
Thursday dawned eloriooslv ddod onr wo
ried bat undaunted gunners, and all felt tbat
tne oay oi trial bad at last arrived. Scarcely
bad breakfast been despatched when the hos
tile fleet was observed in commotion. Tbe
great war steamers formed rapidly in single
file, and within supporting distance of each
other, tbe frigate "Minnesota," the flag ship
of Commodore Dupont, io tbe van. As the
rlong line or formidable lookice vessels, thir.
teen in number, most of them powerful pro
pellers, with a few sailing men of-ar in tow,
swept rapidly and majestically io, with ports
opeo and bristling with guns of tbe heaviest
catuore, me sigoi was grand and imposing.
Ibis was at half past eigbt o'clock. Uotil
tbe " U innesota" came within ranee and onno
site to our batteries on Hilton Head, all waa
still. Suddenly tbe fifteen heavy guns of
rorv vt aiaer, wnico Dad been aimed directly
at tbe huge frigate, belched forth their simul-
taoeoos tore, and tbe action was begun. Al
most immediately afterwards tbe batteries of
Fort Beauregard, on tbe other side or the en
trance, also opened their fire.
Tbe enemy at first did oot reply. But as
tbe second steamer came opposite to Fort
Walker, the bolls of tbe first three warn ami.
deoly wrapped in smoke, and the shot and
shell of three tremendous broadsides, making
io all seventy five guns, came crushing against
our works. From this moment tbe bombard.
meot was terrific and incessant. One by one
tbe propellers bore down unon onr fnrta ,
delivered their fire as they passed, until nine
uou gaiucu vua luienur o: me naroor, beyond
the range of our guns. The "Minnesota,"
still followed by tbe others, theo tamed round
and steamed slowly out, giving s broadside to
Fort Beauregard as Bee repassed. Thus the
battle was cootinued, tbe enemy's vessels sail
mg in an elliptical curve, pounog one broad,
side into Bay Point, and tben sweeping around
to deliver tbe other against Hilton Head.
1 his furious fire from some four hundred
guns, uiaoyofthem ofthell-inch Dablgren
pattern, and some even or a 13 inch bore (for
a number of tbat diameter was found in Fort
Beauregard.) was maintained incessantly, and
the roar of the cannonade seemed most contin
oous. Meanwhile the garrisons were making
a gallant defence They kept op s vigorous
and well directed, fire against their assailants
and notwithstanding that tbeir best eon was
dismounted at tba beginning or the actioo
tbey succeeded io setting fire to several of the
ships. Whenever this happened, however,
tbe enemy woold haul off aod soon extinguish
tbe Barnes. The e fleet or our guns was in
many instances, plainly visible from tbe fo'rta.
Although tbe sides of tbe "Minnesota" were
of massive strength, several of her ports were
koocked ioto ooe. Nor was sba the ooly
vessel opon which this evidence of tba power
of our fire could be seen. Many of the other
steamer were likewise badly hulled.
After some time spent io sailing around and
delivering tbeir broadside in rotatioo, io the
manner we bave described, tbe enemy's steam,
era adopted another and mora successful plan
of attack. Ooe of them took s position io.

aides this terrifie cross fire, two of tbe largest
steamers easisteload the firs In front of the
fort. Thus three farlous converging streams
of shot aod iWB wars rained arsons: tbs brsvs

our guns had, by this time, become dismount

serious effect.
Shortly after 11 o'clock the batteries of Kay
Poiot were tileoeed. The fire of Fort Wal
ker, aa far aa tha sans that remained were
concerned, was ost a whit slackened until one
o'clock. By that time tbe dreadful condition
or the fort became too apparent to be longer
disregarded. . Tbs suss lay In every direction
dismantled and useless; tbe defences were
terribly shattered, tbe dead and dying were to
be seen on every side, and still tbe iron nan
poared pitilessly J0.
FORT WALKER ASANDONEB.
lo this strait it was determined to abandon
the fort. A Ions: waste, about s mile In
extent, snd commanded by the enemy's gnns,
intervened between tbe garrison and the
woods. Across tbls Ihey were ordered to ran
for tbeir lives, each mao for himself: the ob
ject being to scatter them as much as poesibe,
so as not to atlord a target tor tne rinea gnns
of the fleet. Tbe preparations for running
this perilous gauntlet wereioon made. Knap
sacks were abandoned, bat the men retained
their muskets. Each of tbe wounded was
placed In a blanket and carried off by roar
meo. The saiety or the living precluded tne
idea or removing tbe dead. And tbos the
gallant little band quitted tbe scene or tbeir
glory, and scampered off, each one as best he
could, towards tbe woodi. Tbe retreat was
covered by a small detatchment, who remain
ed ror ao boor after tbeir comrades had leu.
Among those wbo remained, were Captain
Harms, with six men ; Lieut. Melcbors, with
four meo, and Lieut. Bischorf, with four men.
These worked tbe goos till about two o'clock,
when tbey also quitted the post.
Tbe abandonment of Fort Beauregard was
equally a necessity. 1 be garrison were ex
hausted, and in momentary danger or being
cut off. When Colonel Dunovaot ordered a
retreat, tears of mortification aod indignation
filled tbe eyes of Captain hlliott at tbe sad
necessity, the retreat was admirably coo
ducted, end rendered entirelv'Raccessful by
tbe prudent energy of (J apt. llanckel, one of
General Ktpley's aids, who bod got togetber
some twelve flats at station creek, by wbicb
the troops passed safely over to at. Helena
Island. From there tbey passed to Beaufort
Island, and reached tbe train at Pocataligo
without tbe loss or iojory of a man. Io tbis
fort none were killed and but five were wound
ed, and two of these were wounded by negli
gence in loading a cannon, by which hot shot
was driven 00 tbs powder, without the wet
wad preceding it.
EVACUATION OF BAT FOINT.
The rest of the story is briefly told. Late
on Thursday morning tbe garrison of Fort
Walker had collected at the landing, in tbe
bope of being able to reach Blufftoo by wa
ter. Luckily, several small Confederate
steamers were within bail. But here a ludic
rous mistake occurred. Tbe retreating troops
imagined tbe little steamers to be Yankee
gun boats, while tbe crews of tbe steamers
were coovinced that tbe troops were a body of
disembarked Yankees. Acting npon ibis
double delusion, a deal of tnotoal reconnoiter
ing was made, and it was only after s vast
variety of strategic approaches tbat they
reached the conclusion that it was "all right."
A quick trip to Bluffton followed. Tbence
tbe troopa marched to Hardeeville, seventeen
miles distant. Tbe road along which they
dragged their exhausted frames was filled with
a heterogeneous throng of fogitives or all
conditions, carriages, carts and conveyances
of every description that could, by any possl
Willi hoitma-" In! , Tha er,Maila
Thus ended the defense of Port Royal
Tbe mortification of tbe dicaster is lessened
by tbe consciousness tbat onr troops deserved
success.
What injury we did to the enemy we do
not know. Our firing was, of coarse, lees
efficient than theirs. Oar troops were vol
aoteers, theirs were picked artillerists. Yet,
it is very remarkable how few were killed or
woanoed amongst our troops. This battle
io this reBpect, was very much like the battle,
of i ort Sumter. How so many cannon could
bave been dismantled and rendered useless
and yet so few of those wbo worked them
injured, seems marvellous. Our troops did
tbeir duty faithfully aod bravely, aod fought
until to ngoi longer would nave been sheer
folly. Though encountering immense odds,
no signs or cowardice marked their conduct
Officers and soldiers exemplified tbe ancient
character or the State, and deserve our oro

at tbe stern, and went np and asked him if be
was Mason t He said, "I am." Tbe Lieu
tenant tben said, "I have orders to arrest
yoa." M ason tamed to the Commander and
said, "Will you allow such ao outrage to be
committed opon your flag t"
The Commander made some 'reply to
Mason, but it was oot heard by Fairfax.
blidell tben came op, and Fairfax said, "I
must arrest yon too." Tbeir ladies then
came op snd commenced weeping and wailliog.
Tbey seemed to think and act as if theirs
was s final parting, and as if they never
expected to see them again alive. They
were offered the privilege of accompanying
them, but Slidell, said, "No I go 00 to
Earope." Tbey gave instructions, in a quiet
manner, to their Secretaries wbat to do 00
arriving in Kurope, and seemed astonished
when tbe baggage of all the party was order
ed np and Fairfax said be would take it all.
All the papers round opon tbem after
search were brought away. Mason seemed
insolent and defiant, while Slidell wag meek
aod disposed to be affable.
We learo that Lieut. Fairfax is of tbe old
Virginia family from whom tbe coooty of
tbat name derived its appellation. He ia a
relative of General Fairfax, wbo has been a
prominent traitor in North Carolina, and
both are related to Mason. Tbis act speaks
well for bia loyalty under these circumstan
ces. Governor Seward says, tbat nnder no
circumstances will tbey be given np ; tbat
England baa been pursuing rather a haughty
course of late, aod all has beeo submitted to
tbat will be from tbat direction.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
Washington, Nov. 16.
Captain Taylor has arrived as bearer or
despatches from Captain Wilkes, or the Sao
Jacinto, wbicb vessel arrived at Fortress
Monroe at balf past ooe o'clock yesterday
afternoon, with Masoo and Slidell, and tbeir
Secretaries, Ku6tis aod McFarlaod.
Tbe Sao Jacioto overhauled the British
packet Trent, about twenty four hours oot or
Havana, bound to St. Thomas. The ladies
aod other gentleman accompanying tbs
prisoners were allowed to proceed to Eng
land. .
The trunks belonging to tbe parties arrest
ed were also taken, aod are 00 board the Sao
Jacioto, which put ioto Fortress Monroe to
coal, aod is now en route to New York.
The srrest was made by Lient. Fairfax,
wbo was Informed by Masoo sod Slidell tbat
tbey would not bs taken except by rorcs.
Ha aoswered, "Then I shall take yos by
force."
Oo tbe arrival or Captain Taylor at tbs
depot lo tbiuajiy, at one o'clock to day, be
was met by Mr. Corcoran, the banker, rather-ju-law
ol Mr, Lottii wboss wire was ons sf
the party allowed to proceed to Englan'1.
lis esprersed great saxiety to learo m
names or the parties srrested sod the
allowed to proceed.
xoer correspondent waa requested ny
Captaia Taylor to communicate to Mr.
Corcoran tbe Tact that his daughter, Mrs.
Eastit bad beeo allowed to ersne ber voyage
to England, bot that Mr. Eustis was in arrest.
Mr. Corcoran was eiccedwely aoxioos to
learo whether the parties were seised on
board a Rebel or s British vessel.
Captain Taylor waa not, as stated In s
previous despatch io command or tbe Sao
Jacioto, but waa s passenger on board, from
tbe etatiow on tbs coast or Africa, ana was
requested by Captain Wilkes to bear the
despatches to the Government from Fortress
Monroe. He proceeded immediately rrom
the depot to tbs Nsvy Department, snd
reported to Secretary Welles, by whom bs
was accompanied to tba President's, to lay
before him sod tbs Cabinet tbs official report
of Captain Wilkes io regard to this Impor
tant seizors.
A special meeting of the tbs Cabinet bad
already been called, In anticipation of tbe
arrival of Captalo Taylor, which was pre
announced by telegraph.
The Intelligence or tbe capture of tbe
Messrs. Slidell snd Mason has diffused tbs
greatest possible joy among all classes,
nefadiag, or coarse, Government omelets,
from the President down to tbs humblest
messenger.
The brilliant exploit at Tort Hoyelwes
certainly not more, if quite as electric io its
effect npon the public mind as the taking or
tbese generally regarded and unprincipled
and dangerous Rebel emissaries.
Mo actron has yet been taken by Lord
Lyons on tha subject of the arrest or Mason
and Slidell. on board of a British vessel.
Be bas no official information to act npon
yet.
it Is staled tbat the bpaniso minister was
quite indignant when be beard of the srrest
or tbe arcb traitors, and is reported to bave
expressed the bope that the vessel from
hicb tbey were takeo was a Spanish ship,
in which event spam would immediately
declare war against the United states.
Tbe President is quite elated over the
capture of Slidell and Mason and their
Secretaries, as are the members of the Cab
met.
Tbe prisoners or State brought by the Sao
Jacinto are to be immediately furnished with
quarters at i ort W arren, lloston harbor.
Mr. Mason s return to uostoo as a state
prisoner will revive recollections of bis
declaration when last in that city, that be did
not expect to return thither nntit be should
come io his official capacity as tbe represen
tative of s Southern Confederacy. He is a
St representative of tbe beleaguered Rebel
States, and will meet an appropriate recep
tion. Their baggage was brought np an exam
ined, and various papers which were supposed
to be of service to the Government were
taken possession of. A considerable amount
of money was found. Their wearing apparel
was transferred to the boat", and soon tbe
prisoners wqre on board the Sao Jacioto.
Wbeo tbey came over the side of the vessel
and stepped on deck, they were met by Cap
tain Wilkes. Slidell, in conformity with the
etiquette npon such occasions, saluted the
Captain ; but Mason, with a stolid pomposi
ty, omitted the usual salution nntil be was
confronted by Captain Wilkes, with the
remark "I am Captain of this ship," wbeo
the salute was reluctantly snd sullenly
given.
After their transfer to the San Jacinto,
the prisoners united in drawing op a state
ment of the facts connected wtib tbeir arrest,
which tbey addressed to Com. Wilkes, aod
accompanied it by a request tbat it be
forwarded to tbe United States Government.
Wilkes snd bis officers. Tbey conversed
freely npon various subjects, bat politics were
not aiiuoea to.
Il is said that the State Department receiv
ed information from the United States Consul
at Havana, tbat Mason and Slidell, and tbeir
secretaries were there, and that be was
watching en opportunity and devising means
to have them arrested.
So much Interest is felt in the late arrest or
tbe two arch-traitors, Mason and Slidell, that
eveytbing relating to that important event is
eargerly read. How intense tbe disappoint
ment at tbe sontb will be may be judged
from tbe following jubilant announcement in
the Richmond Examiner of October 29 of
tbeir safe escape.
"By tbis tine our able representatives
abroad, Messrs. Mason and Slidell, are pretty
well over the briny deep towards the shores
of Europe. We commit no indiscretion in
stating that they bave embarked upon a vessel
which will be abundantly able to protect tbem
against most of the Yankee croisers tbey
may happen to meet, and the chances are.
consequently, a hundred to one that tbey will
reach tbeir destination with safety. Tbe
malice of our Yankee enemies will thus be
foiled, aod tbe attempt to capture tbem rail
or success. Great will be tbe mortification
or tbe Yankees when tbey shall bave learned
this result. Our ministers did cot cbose to
leave at aoy other port tbao one or our own,
or ooder any bot tbe Confederate flag. We
believe that, at no distant day. Mr. Mason
will have the pleasure of signing a treaty of
unni y. on vcnuif oj me ionjeaeraie males, wun
one of the oldest and grtatest dynasties of Eu
rope, and thus cement those relations of com
morce npon wbicb onr future so largely
depends."
1 "Occasional," in his letter of October 19, gave
the following graphic sketch of the rebel envoy ;
When Jefferson Da via appointed Jame M.
Mason as minister to England, and John Slidell
as minister lo France, to represent the Southern
treason, he acted upon the theory that thev, of all
men, were most corupeteat to advocate this trea
aon, because they had been prominent in it
origin, and are naturally identified with it
destiny. I have feequently referred to Mason,
A more arrogant, offensive, dictatorial demagogue
never lived. A ostentatious and as stately as
Dombcy, he may, nevertheless, he called the
Pumblechook of the Secession conspiracy. Vain
of his mediocrity, which he mistakes for states
manship, be cannot see that he is laughed at by
his associate and despised by every decent man.
Hia arrogance would be insufferable if it were
not ridiculous ; and all that fondness for aristo
cratic example and opinion, which other men
would rather conceal, ha take pleasure in
displaying on every occasion. What, then,
induced the ao-called President Davis to end
thi wretched quack lo England 1 The answer
is, because he ia the alave of slavery the wor
shipper of England, and the remorseless enemy
of everything like rational liberty. If he disgusts
our English enemies by his conceit and bluster,
they will receive him with open arm on account
of hia undying hatred of all republican doctrine.
John Slidell is a man of another temperament.
His first quality i a dogged obstinacy in pursu
tng whatever be underlakea, without hesitation,
to the bitter end. By birth a Northern man, ha
has for a long time beeo hastening on tha 8ou
tharn rebellion. H is ambiiion is unbounded, and
among his dream for more than twenty year
ba been the idea that ha might one day be tbe
head of a great pro ala very Government. Hi
