C., November 8, 1861. J '/■' tlx- Adjtant General United Siates Army, Washington D. C. Sir—l have the honor to report that the force under my command embarked at An napolis, Maryland, on the 21st of October, and arrived at Hampton Roads, Virginia, on the 22d. In consequence of the delay in the arrival of some of our transports and the unfavorable state of the weather, the fleet was unable to set out for the Southern coast until the 29th, when under the convoy of a naval squadron under the command of Commodore Dupont, and after the most mature consideration of the objects of the expedition by that Flag Officer and myself, it was agreed to first re duce any works that might be found at Port Royal, South Carolina, and thus open the finest harbor on the coast that exists south of IJatteras. ft was calculated to reach Port Royal in five days at most, but in consequent fad verse winds and a perilous storm o day and night of the first of November, me fleet arrived at Port ft :ya! bar Dot until the fourth and then but in part, for it had been almost entirely dispersed by the gale, and the vessels b ive been straggling in up to this date. The transport steamers Union. Beividere, Osceola and Peerless have not arrived. Two of them are known to be lost, and it is probable all are. It is gratifying, however, to say, that none of the troops transports connected with the land forces were lost, though the Win field Scoot had to sacrifice her whole cargo, and the Ro anoke a portion of her cargo, to save the lives of the regiments on board ; the former will be enabled to again put to sea. The vessels connected with the naval portion of the fleet have also suffered much, and some have been lost. After a careful reconnoissance of Port II yal bay, it was ascertained that the Rebels had field works of remarkable strength, strongly garrisoned and covered by a fleet of three gunboats, under Captain Tatnall, late of the United States Navy, besides strong land forces which the Rebels were concentrating from Charleston and Savanah. The troops of the Rebels were afterward as certained to have been commanded by Gener al Drayton. One of the forts, and probably I the strongest, was situated on Hilton Head, and the other two on Phillip's Island. It was deemed proper to first reduce the fort on Hii- ! ton Head, though to do this a greater or less tire might have to be met from the batteries ! on Ray Point, at the same time our original plan of co-operation of the land forces in this Attack had to be set aside in consequence of! the loss during the voyage of a greater por lion of-our means cf disemburkment, together , with the faet that the only point where the -troops should have landed was from five to 1 Six miles, measuring around the intervening j shoal, from the anchoring place of our trans ports. altogether too great a distance for sue c.-ssfu! debarkation with our limited means. \ It was. therefore, ageeed that the place should he reduced by the naval force alone. In (iousequcnce of the shattered condition of the : fleet, and, the delay in the arrival of vessds that were indispensable for the attack, it had •to be postponed until the 7th inst. I was a mere spect tor of the combat, and it is not iny province to render any report of this ac tion, but 1 deem it an imperative duty to say that the tiring aud manoeuvring of our fleet against that of the Ib-bcls and their formida ble land batteries was a master piece of activ ■jty aud professional skill that must have elic uted the applause of the Rebels themselves as a tactical operation. I think that too much .prai'O cannot be awarded to the science and -skill exhibited bv the Flag Officer of the Na val Squadron and ufficars connected with his ships. I deem the performance a masterly one, and ought to have been seeu to be fully appreciated. After the works were reduced < took possession of them with the laud for ,ccs. The beautifully constructed work on ililtuj; Head was severely crippled, and many of tlje guns dismounted. Much slaughter had evidently been made there ; many bodies hav .ng been buried in the fort, and-some twenty or thirty were found sopie half a mile distant. The Island fcr many miles was-found strewed with arms and accoutrements aud baggage of the Rebels, which tbey threw away in their -iiasiy retreat. We have also come into pos es<*ion of about forty pieces of ordnance, m ost of which arc of the heaviest calibre and the moat approved modeU, and a large quanti ty of ammunition and camp equipage. It is my duty to report the valuable servi CC9 of Mr. Boutelle, Assistant jn the Coast Survey. Assisting me with his accurate and extensive knowledge of this country, bis ser vices wore invaluable to the army as well as the navy, and I earnestly recommend that important notice be taken of this very aide and scientific officer by the War Department. I S.D), very respectfully, Your obedientservant, T. W. SHERMAN, Brigadier General Command;ning. Proclamation of Gen- Sherman to the People of South Carolina. After landing aud taking possession of the forts, Gen Sherman issued the following Proclamation to the People of South Carolina. In obedience to the orders of the President of these United States of America, I have Landed, on your shores with a small force of National troops The dictates of a duty which under these circumstances i owe o a great sovereign State, and to a proud and hospitable people, among whom I have passed some of the pleasantest days of my life, prompt me to proclaim that we have come amongst you with no feelings of personal animosity ; no desire to harm your citizeus, destroy your property, or interfere with any of your iatwfui rights or your social and local institutions, beyond what the causes herein aliuded to may render unavoidable. _ . ... , Citizens of South Carolina, the civilized world stands appalled at the course you are pursuing. Appalled at the crime you are committing against your own m .ther. the best, the most enlightened, and heretofore the most prosperous of nations. are in a state of active rebellion against the laws of your country. You have lawlessly seized upon the forts, arsenals and other property belonging to the common country and within your "borders. With this property you are in arms and waging a ruthless war against your Constitutional Government, and thus threatening the existence of a government which you are hound by the terms of a sol emn compact to live under and faithfully sup port. In doing this you are not only under mining and preparing the way lor totally igu ring your own political and social exis tence, but you are threatening the civilized world with the odious sentiment that self government is impossible with civiliz -<i man. Fellow citizens, I emplore you to pao.-e and reflect upon the tenor nod consequences of your acts. If the awful sacrifices made by the devastation of our property, the shedding of fraternal blood in battle, the mourning arid wailing of widows and orphans through out our land, are insufficient to deter you from further pursuing this unholy war, then pon der, I b' seech you, upon the ultimate hut not less certaia result which its further progress must necessarily and naturally entail upon your once happy and prosperous State. In deed, can you pursue this fratricidal war and continue to imbrue your hands in the loyal blood of your countrymen, your friends, your kinsmen, for no other object than to unlaw fully disrupt the Confederacy of a great j eo plo—a Confederacy established by your own hands—in order to set up, were it possible, an independent government under which you can never live in peace, prosperity, or quiet ness! Carolinians ! we have come among you as loyal m n, fully impressed with our Consti tutional obligations to the citizens of your State. Those obligations shall be performed as far as is in our power. But be nut deceived. The obligation of suppressing armed eorobi nations against the Constitutional authorities is paramount to all others. If in the perfor mance of this duty other minor but important obligations should be in any way neglected, it must be attributed to the necessities of the case, besause rights dependent on the laws of the State must be necessarily subordinate to military exigencies created by insurrection and rebellion. T. W. SHERMAN, Brigidier General Commanding. Heavy Bank Robbery in West Win stead Connecticut. Between Saturday last and Monday night a daring and most successful robbery was perpetrated upon the bank of West Win stead, Connecticut, the burglars succeeded in carrying off about $50,000, -58,000 of which was in specie, and the balance in bills, mostly of their own Bank. Among other values taken were four Cuited States Treasury G per cent, notes, two of §IOO and two of §SO each. The thieves had j evidently studied the locality with great care, and undertook their work with a de- ' gree of circumspection and skiil seldom exhibited by the profession. They enter ed through a lawyer's office, which was di rectly over the vault of the bank. Boards in the floor, of unequal length, were neat ly sawed through, and alter proceeding with the work in the vault, they were care* | fully replaced, screwed down, puttied over, and then sanded so as not to attract obser vation. The enclosure of the vault was of granite, the top slab being over six inches thick. Through this they chiselled their way, splitting it in two, raising off one half of it, and thus affording room through ' which to descend into the vault. On re tiiing with their booty they replaced the stone,screwed down the floor, and left every thing in such apple-pie order that it took the batik officers some time to discover the mysterious hole through which their treas ure had departed. A reward of SI,OOO has been offered for : the directiou of the thieves aud the recovery | of the money. Desperate Fighting-, Single Handed Com bats. The Springfield (JV10.,) correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes: numerous siugle-hunded fights oecured on Friday evening on the outskirts of the j city between pursued and pursuers, the history o! which wi'l probably never be known.

Capture of Mason and Slidell The National Intelligencer examines at length the points of international law in the capture of Messrs. Mason and Slidell, and expresses the conclusion that "it is fully justified by tiie rules of international law, as the rules have been expounded by the most illustrious British jurists and com piled by the most approved writers on the Laws of Nations. So far from having transcended 'he powers with which he was elothed by that code, (.'apt. Wilkes did not exhaust the full measure of his authority, for he not ouiy had uii undoubted right to arrest these "Ambassadors" of the Con federate Government on their passage to Europe, but might have justly captured the vessel on which they were found, and brought her into port to be condemned as a lawful prize." The National Debt. According to au article carefully prepar ed, in the New York Times, the increase of the public debt is far from so rapid a; has been commonly supposed. Instead of its being one million of dollars per day on the average, it has been only "bout seven hundred thousand dollars. Mr. Chase, it has reason to know, had in reserve, a few days sinee, about 5175,000,000 of the 7.30 per cent, treasury bonds, and owes the as sociated banks but §25,000,000 on account of advances for which bonds have not yet been issued. The expenditure from the treasury may, indeed, average a million a day; but these are met in part from revenue, and, besides, they include the redemption of notes received in payment of customs, and the exchange of Treasury notes. Thus, during the months of September and Oc tober the sum of three and a half millions was received for cu-toius in that de.-c/ip- tion of paper at ©r various ports. At t lie same liine $5,350,000 lias been exchanged at various points fur 7.30 Treasury bonds, making about §5,859,000 in all to bo de ducted Iroiu the aggregate expenditures lor that period. Of the demand notes, it is considered that less than twelve millions are in actual circulation at present. The total funded debt of the ( uited States ou Sep tember Ist, was §75,705,000; including treasury paper, the entire obligations were 1 §131,652,000. On the 11th instant this aggregate had increased to §157,082,000, or including the advances made by the banks, §182.082,000, an increase of SSO, 430,000 in seventy two days, or in round numbers $700,000 per day. publish to-day the official ac count of the Naval Jlxpedition to South Carolina, our readers doubtless preferring authentic intelligence to indefinite news paper and telegraph reports.

The Navy Department prefers not to I publish, at present, the official reports made by the officers of the war steamer San Ja cinto. in reference to the capture of Mason anl Slidell. The general facts are these; ' Commander Wilkes, evidently a man of . grit," was sent out to bring home the San Jacinto from the coast of Africa ; on his return he touched at Cienfoegws, where he ascertained that Mason au 1 StlJeil had run the blockade; and worn eu route to Europe, probably by the way of Cuba.— lie sailed up and . ent into port at Havana, 'fliers he ascertained that the Confederate commissioners had been gone but a few hours, having sailed in th • British mail steamship Trent, th* evening before. 7th November. He immediately put to sea, directing his course so as to intercept the vessel. \\ lien about f >rtv miles of Mat anzas, in the old Huhami Channel, the Trent hove in siglit, and the two vessels were soon within hailing distance. Com modore Wilkes sent a shot across the bows of the Trent. To this no attention was paid, and another was directed near the how. Tins hrought the steauier to.— Lieut. Fairfax, to whom both of the Con federate passengers were personally known, was sent on board in a boat, supported with two more boats, filled with marines. Lieut. Fairfax went on deck and called on Messrs. Ma son and Slidell, who soon ap peared. Lieut. Fairfax politely informed them of the objects of his mission, and askel them to go on board his boat. To this they objected, Mason remarking that they had paid their passage to Europe, to the British Consul at Havana, (who acts as agent for the mail steamship line,) and he would not leave without force. Lieut. Fairfax, pointing to his marines drawn up on the decks of the British steamer said : " You see, sir, I have force, if that is what / * you require." "Then you must use it,'" replied Mason. With this Lieut. Fairfax placed his hand upon the Senator's shoul der an I pressed him to the gangway. At this juncture the passengers rushed for ward, somewhat excited, and attempted to I interfere. The marines immediately show ed their bayonets, an l Mason consented to , the d eeis.iou of Lieut. Fairfax, asking that ; he might he permitted to make his pro test in writing. Just then a fine speci men of an Englishman rushed on deck in military or naval uniform (the officer in | command of the mails, probably), and de manded why passengers on board that ship were molested. Licnf. Fairfax informed him that he had stated to Capt. Moir, of the packet, why he arrested two of his pas j sengers, and further than that he had no explanations to make. Protests were then drawn up, and Mason and Slidell, with their secretaries, Enstis and McFarland. ! went into the boats of the San Juc nto. — ! Com. Wilkes sent a message to the ladies ! that his be>t cabin was at their service if 1 they desired to accompany the prisoners back to the Tinted States. They, howev ' er, declined, and proceeded on the voyage. | The arrest was made on the Bt!i. and the San Jacinto arrived with tiie prisoners at Portress M nroe on Friday Lieut.

Chapm m. and twenty five picked men oi the Twenty eighth ileg imeut of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and re connoitered the vicinity He discovered a force of the rebels, upon whom he quiet ly closed, and surprised them with a volley of shots After firing two or three volleys, the rebels were routed, leaving three men and one horse dead upon the field. A foraging party went out from Gen. Wadsworth's brigade on the 17th, and hav ing procured a large supply of corn, they started back in the afternoon. Five of the wagons became detached from the main body, and halting in the road about two and a half miles to the left of Palls Church, ! the men stacked their arms and went to ward a farm house to got something to eat. A party of rebel cavalry who had been | scouting in the neighborhood, availing themselves of the opportunity thus presen ted. suddenly r ished between our soldiers and their arms, thus rendering them pow ! erless for resistance. The consequence was the capture of five loaded wagons and it is supposed thirty-one prisoners. About ten of the soldiers certainly escaped, and it may be that some of the others may return, as it is not improbable that they .sought refuge in the woods. They all belong to the Thirteenth New York regiment. The place where they were taken is beyopd our lines, and this unfortunate affair is the re } suit of their own carelessness. Mr. Savage, United States vice consul at Havana, who returned from Key West on the 30th inst., reports that 1,500 rebels were discovered by the federal patrol on Santa Rosa Island, some twenty miles from Fort Pickens. The commander of the fleet ! sent a force who shelled the rebels off the Island with a great loss. The supposed object of the enemy was to get together a force of 5,000 or more troops and then make a forced march on Col. Wilson's camp for another night attack. The above report is brought by the stea mer Cosmopolitan arrived from Havana. The Richmond Despatch claims to fiave information that the authorities of South Carolina have communicated witji eruuiout upon the subject of hoisting the black flag, to which allusiou has been.made i since the attaok upon the coast of that State. It is believed that Gen. Lee has recieved order- from the War department urging that " those captured must be re- j garded as prisoners of war. '" It is said they will be disregarded by the authorities of South Carolina, that the same course will be pursued which Gov. Wise adopted at the time of the John Brown trial, and that wliea South Carolina is done with the invaders the Confederate government can have them. Nothing shows a weak cause more surely than such threats. The United States transport Atlantic ar rived at New York i.a Monday. She left Port Royal at 3 o'clock p. m. ou the 10th inst. The town of B. aufort had not, up to that time, been occupied by the L nited States troops. The Atlantic brings home a number of pa--engers and invalids from the aruiy and navy and six prisoners. Everything was quiet at Port Royal.— All the troops had beou stationed and were in good health. Several visits had been made to Beaufort by a regiment or detach ments, but they retired leaviug the place deserted. There had been no communication from the opposite side of the Island confirming the report that the Union pickets had been at Hacked. The stores and ordnance had been near | ly all landed. Generals Ilalleck and Hamilton arrived at St. Louis on the 18th iust. Generals I Sturgis and Wyuian arrived on the 17th.
