The Fight at Pensacola.
New York, Dec. 11
A private letter has been received from a
party on board the steamer Richmond,
which took part in the last fightatFort
Pickens, dated November 23. .He states
that the Richmond commenced bombard
ing Fort McUac at 10 o’clock bn the mor
ning of the 22d.
The writer had been complimenting the
captain of one of the guns on the accu
racy of his aim, when, he says, a shell
bounded through our bulwarks, took the
captain’s head off, and wounded six meii.
i This shell, on exploding, raised the ship
| out of the water, and made her stagger
; like a drunken man. ,
j Another shell burst six feet ibelow,the
| water lino, causing a bad leak f’but the
Lsteam pumps kept the vessel free.
The firing continued all day,: and was
resumed by the eoomy ! on the.next morn
ing, when we moved out of his range.
The frigate Niagara still kdpc at .them,
but being outside of the enemy’s guns;
she cannot be much injured.
Fort Pickens had, up to date, lost but
one man killed and seven wounded.
Fort Mcßae is much damaged, but we
cannot destroy it with our smooth-bore
guns, as they are no match for the en
emy’s rifle cannon.
The bombardment was to be renewed
the riexf day, the 23d, with a determina
tion to whip or be whipped.
A Telegraph Along the Coast.—
Mr Cyrus W. Field has been in Washing
ton for several days, consulting with the
Government in reference to establishing
a line of telegraphic communication from
Washington, to extend along the linos of
the coast. He proposes that; the wires
be extended to Fortress Monroe and New
port News from our present dines, and
thence by submarine cable across to Cape
Charles, and along -the «dast to llatteraß
Inlet, Bull Bay and Port Koyal. Then
as soon as Fernandina shall be taken, that
it be extended to that port and l crossing
the peninsula of Florida to Cedar Keys,
and thence to Fort Pickens, Sjiip Island,
Chandeleur Island and around the mouths
of the Mississippi to Galveston, when that
port falls into our hands. A branch litre
is proposed to extend 'from Cedar Keys
to Key West and the Tortugas. The
length of the main wire will be about 1,400
miles, and the branch for Cedar Keys to
Key West and Tortugas about four hua
dred.
A Wooden "Mother. —We have heard
of wooden nutmegs, wooden , hams, horn
gun-flints, wooden oats and wooden cioipks,
but what infusion of the Yankee ever
tinctured a John Bull to invent a wooden
mother? The following, by a correspon
dent of the Mark Lane Erprcss, describes
the new invention : A fine sow, having
twelve sucking pigs, belonging to a pork
merchant in MotikweamKiutii, was taken
ill, and dipd suddenly. The proprietor,
who is an ingenious character,; set to work
and formed a rough model of a sow in
wood, being hollow in the centre, the ab
domen being furnished with twelve teats,
cleverly formed ol rough hide. The inte
rior of the model is kept filled with milk,
and the whole of the voting pigs suek
from the teats of this singular looking sow,
and are thriving well.
The Hock ex Battalion. —This novel 1
corps, raised in .Western New York, are ;
on their way to Washington. In placeof ;
the customary field piece, the battallion, i
which numbers one hundred and sixty
men, will, on its arrival at the capitol, be
furnished with Tt nc.wly invented rocket !
gun. The peculiarity, in this weapon
consist*, in its being breech loading, and is •
capable of discharging ball,' bombs and
percussion shot. The rockets that will be
tiredTrom this, gun are for the purpose df
breaking up the enemy’s cavalry, or* of
setting fire to any building that it is .ne
cessary to have destroyed. When the
rocket balls are ‘ discharged, they will ex
pand to the diameter of fifteen feet, and
can thrown the distance of five thou
: sand three hundred yards. The Govorn,-
f raent has purchased the exclusive right
of manufacturing these terrible instru
ments of destruction.
A Rebel Panic.— The Government,
says a Herald dispatch, has received val
uable and interesting information from
deserters who have lately came into our
Hues. A colored hoy came in yesterday
from Centreville, inid fias made a state
meat which is deemed' friable. He says
the rebels had a review of eighty thous
and troops at Centreville a few days ago.
Beauregard and all their principal gener
als were present. During the review an
alarm was created by a report that our
entire army in this vicinity was marching
to attack them. 1 A panic and stampede
took place, rivalling the retreat at Bull
Run. Several guns were left on the field
and not iraaovered untlsl the next day.-
Army wagons were capsized and wagon
poles broken off, and their drivers fled in
dismay. The scene is said to have been
ludicrous in the extreme.
Col. Mulligan, since his arrival at
'Washington, states that General Hallcck’s
order excluding slaves from the army
lines has already produced the best possi
ble effect upon the union then in Missouri
who were apprehensive that the war
would be waged for the extermination of
slavery, in place of the restoration of the
Union.' .
Escape of the jPirate Sumpter.
x New York, Dec. 13.
| The brig S. W. Rowland, Capt. Row
: land, arrived here last night, from St.
j Thomas, Nov. 27th. j
j Captain Rowland States that the cap
i tain of the Iroquois is entirely to blame
j for the escape of the! pirates Sumpter at
j Port Royal and Martihquc. '
A man was sent, ashore at Port Royal
from the Island to; signalize the move
ments of the Sumpter, and on the night
of the 23d he made signals that she was
j leaving the harbor, ! bqt nb notice was ta
l ten by the Captain of the Iroquis. His
| First Lieutenant triejd to persuade him
*to give chase, which could easily have
1 been done, and the .pirate captured as she
j draws a foot more watjer than the Iroquis,
I but he would not lijear to it saying it.
j would be very unpleasant for him to cap
i ture her os he and iSemtnes had been
; schoolmates, and Semmes had been his
j former superior officer; also that he did
i not want t 6 break the neutrality laws.—
j The movements of the Sumpter were
! plainly seen from the deck of the Iroquis,
i the former taking a Southerly course. —
; The Captain of the Iroquois then gave"
I orders to proceed to ,S|t. Thomas, not ma
j king the least effort toi capture the pirate,
; after having been lyipg off the port sev
, eral days for that sole Ipurpose. On these
| facta becoming krhjwn at St. Thomas, the
! greatest indignation prevailed among
Americans in port, and others friendly to.
the United States. :
Gen. Policy. —A commit
tee of the citizens of Platte county, Kan
sas, visited General Hunter on Monday,
the 2nd. The Gonerjal said to them :
“ Tell the Trustees of| Platte county that
uulcss they give up Gordon and his gang,
and break up every rebel camp, that I
shall send Colonel, Jennison over there
with orders to burn evert/ house in the
count j/. lam getting tired of this whole
subject.” Committed—-“-Will you put
that in writing.” Genj-Hunter^—“l will.”
That brief interview satisfied Platte Co.,
and the policy indicated will satisfy Kan
sas and the country.

Military Uniforms. —There is, perhaps, no department
of military business in wliich there has been ft more
marked Improvement than In; the clothing of soldiers.—
Not many years.sjnce, officers-and [privates were clad in
garments which were almost--skin-tight. They wore leather
stocks, which were worthy of the name, tor th»*y kept the
wearer in tribulation; while th*»ir padded breasts and
tight sleeves made, volition ft matter of great difficulty.
During the present war, such of our volunteers as pro
cure their uniforms at the firbwn Stone Clothing Hall of
Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 693 and 605 Chestnut struct above
Sixth, Philadelphia, obtain olcjlbing that Is perfectly easy,
substantial and becoming. The firm named hrvo gone

and their facilities enable thorp to fill the largest, order* in

A Card to the Suffering.
The Rev. Wm. Cosgrove, jvhile laboring as a missionary
in Japan, was cured of Consumption, when all other means
had failed, by a recipe obtained from a learned physician
residing in the gyeat city of'Jbddo. This recipe has cured
great numbers who were suffering from Consumption,
Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Coughs and Colds, and the debility
and nervous depression caused by these disorders.
Desirous of benefltting others, I will send this recipe,
which I brought home with me, to all who need it, free of

RESTORATIVE CORDIAL
AND
BLOOD RENOVATOR.
TS precisely what its name indicates, for while pleasant to
A the taste, it is revivifying, exhilarating and strength
ening to tbe vital powers. It also revivifies,reinetatesand
renews the blood in all its original purity, and thus re
stores and renders the system invulnerable to attacks of
disease. It is the only preparation ever offered to tbo
world in a popular form *o as to be within the reach of ail.
So chemical ly and skillfully combined as to be the most
powerful tonic, and yet so perfectly adapted so as to act in
perfect accordance with the laws of nature, and hence soothe
the weakest stomach ami tone u|i the digestive organa, and
allay all nervous and other irritation. It is also perfectly
exhilarating in its effects, and yet it is never followed by
lassitude or depression of spirits. It f s composed entirely
of vegetables, and those thoroughly combining powerful
tonic and soothing properties, ami consequently can never
injure. As a sure preventive and cure of
Consumption. Bronchitis, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Less
of Appetite, Faintness, Nervous Irritability,

it will not only cure the debility following CHILLS and

upon diauge of climate and water.
As it prevents coativene«B. strengthens the digestive or

Ladies not accustomed to much out-door exercise should
