A EEBEL FLEET INTHE CHINESE WATERS.
New York, Feb.,l2.—A letter from the Tri
bune’s Lob don correspondent contains some
information on a point of importance which ha B
as yet attracted little or no attention.
The news in a nutshell is that at this moment
there is a fleet of six rebel war-steamers in the
, Chinese waters. These vessels were fitted out
in England,under Sherrard'Osborne, an English
naval captain, and were recruited among the
officers and men of her Britannic Majesty’s
navy. They were under contract to the
Chinese Government, but when they
reached China, a disagreement
arose between Osborne and the Chinese au
thorities, and the vessels were not delivered,
but thrown on the market and sold at auction—
Osborne, officers, crews, guns and all—to Jef
ferson Davis. It' is not unnaturally.intimated
that Osborne had some slight expectation of
reaching this result when he left; England.
Funds for the purchase are said to’ have been
provided in part by the sale of the jrebel ram
in the Clyde, which Earl Russell embargoes.
There are now but a few American ships,
in East Indian waters, and it is thought
probable that this fleet, in company with the
other rebel pirates, may be destined to attack
San Francisco. In order to show their respect
for British neutrality, the British crew take an
oath of naturalization'as citizens of the Con
federacy when the flag changes. If, therefore,
San" Francisco should happen to be burned
and plundered, John Bull washes his hands of
all responsibility. - ”

FEOM FOBTBESS MONROE.
Fortress Monroe, Feb. 10.— General "Wis
tar and his command arrived safely at Yorktown
this morning.
' Late rebel papers say the Court House at
Mobile was burnt on Saturday. ■
LATE FROM THE SOUTH.
From late files of Southern papers received
at the Bulletin, office, we gleanJhe following
items:
Death of Harry Macakthy.—Harry Ma
cafthy, the “Arkansas comedian,” the man of
many parts : and infinite jest, the versatile
siuger and personator of character, died near
Atlanta, Georgia, a few.days ago. _
From Texas. —A despatch lrorn Honston,
T.exas, Jan. 11thyja Jackson, Jan. 29th, says:
Houston, Jan. 11, via Jackson, Jan. 29.
We have ’accounts of another serious Indian
raid in Cook county, in which twelve or fif
teen people were killed. The Indians were
armed and equipped by the Yankees. Fifteen
millions of dollars of Confederate money, that
had run the blockade from some eastern port
to Havana, and had safely reached Monterey,
Mexico, on the way to the Trans-Mississippi
Department has been attached-by the English
house of Milmor & Co., of Matamoras, for al
leged failure on the part'd - Major Hart, A. Q,
M., and agent of the C. S. Government, in
meeting his contracts with that house for cot
ton. The same house has also attached a large
amount of cotton in transitu in Mexico, be
longingto the Covemment on the same account.'
; BURNING OF THE MOBILE COUBT HOUSE. —ThO
greatest calamity we have experienced in
Mobile for a long time, says the Tribune of the
31st ult., was the destruction yesterday by fire
of our beautiful county court house—or at
least the greater part of it. All above the first
story, it seems, was not fire proof, and the
whole'of that part was consumed. The lower'
story, however, remains unharmed, except
that a portion of the wall is cracked. The
cause of the fire is wrapped in mystery. It ia,
however, not believed that it originated on
design.- For a considerable time it was sup
posed that all the building- would he saved
except the roof, but suddenly thq flames
gathered strength and burst lorth in such a
way as to destroy this hope. The building
was an expensive one—its cost, as we under
stand, being hard on to $200,000. The court
records were all removed, and last evening
were being returned—the lower story being
considered safer for . them than any .other
depository at command.
Ran the Blockade. —We are glad to an
nounce that two vessels—the Pet and Heroine
—have run the blockade, and arrived safely in
a Confederate port with valuable cargoes.—
Charleston Mercury, Feb. 4. _
Shoes Wanted. —Fifty thousand pairs of
shoes, two hundred thousand pairs of socks,
and piles of blankets are awiting to-day in the
city of Augusta a Government purchaser. Our
brave soldiers are suffering from cold, and
frozen feet have been lopped off by the sur
geon’s knife. These facts are known in Rich
mond, and yet the heartless policy of adminis
trative officers there is such that humanity and
necessity are seemingly of but secondary xcon
sideration. “To wilful men the injuries that
they themselves procure, must be their own
schoolmasters.” Justice is often slow to be
matured. The right is sometimes overborne
by wrong, and weakened by the avarice of
power; but at the last the destroying bolt
bursts forth,
> ‘The voiceless herald of its own approach ’ >
—Columbia (S. C.) South Carolinian, Feb, 4.
The Sailobs of Chableston. —It is not
generally known that the sailors of the Con
federate navy are not provided with clothing
' by the Government, but are obliged to purchase
it for themselves out of their small wage?.;
This regulation has often left the brave but,
improvident fellows in a most destitute condi
tion. There are now in the harbor of
Charleston about five hundred ot these men, all
of whom stand most woefully in need of an
outfit. As they proved themselves of great
value in the siege of Charleston, doing duty
every night as pickets in barges—a service in
which they are exposed to much danger and
hardships^-all of our citizens, deeply interested,
as they must be, in the safety of the city, ought
to contribute something to their comfort.—
South Carolinian,.. •
A Pictl-be of Chableston Under Fire.—A
correspondent of the Augusta (Ga.) Constitu
tionalist, writing from Charleston, gives the
following picture of the city under the bom
bardment of the enemy:
The limited destruction of property by the
protracted rain of shells, is as wonderful as the
small loss of life. I walked through the streets
where the effect of the shells is most apparent.
Here a cornice is knocked off, there is a small
round hole through the side of a building, and
at remote intervals the earth is torn where a
shell exploded, and looks like the work of a
porker in search of some hidden treasure.
Venders of the staples of the market sit •
serenely by-their little stores, unmindful of the
pyrotechnic Salutations of their Yankee de
liverers. I bought delicious apples and cakes
at one-fourth the price charged two hundred
miles away in the interior, where abundance
and ex tor ions seem to go hand in hand.
In reply to a question, if she were not afraid
one of these old women replied, “Lor, mars
we no afeerd now—we’s used to ’em. Dey
make big noise, and fro trash all about—dat’s
all—the good Lord perfects us.” Thus is the
reliant trust of these people exemplified even
in the spirit of this simple African. I confess
that 1 could not feel thus indifferent to. these
missiles of destruction, and, as they came
screeching across the bay, I felt an instinctive
inclination to change my base of observation.
Extending my ramble to other portions of the
city, the track of shells was here and there dis
cernible, hut they have not eflected a tithe of
the injury "sustained 1 by the great fire of two
years ago, whose blackened outline stretches
across what was once the heart of the city. In
only two or three instances have fires been oc
casioned by them,and then the loss was trifling.
In localities most exposed to the shells the old
tide of business is suspended. 1
Here and there a pedestrian moves hurriedly
along, and the rattle of a cart or dray is heard
. for a whole square. The blinds are closed,
vases of rare exotics droop and wither on the
lonely window sill, because there is no tender
hand to twine or nourish' them. The walk
glistens with fragments of glass, rattled thither
by the concussion of exploding shells, and little
tnfts of bright green grass are springing up
along the ipave once vocal with the myriad
tongues of busy trade. If this be food for exul
tation to the malevolent foe, he is welcome to
the tender morsel. Ido not mean to say that
any part of the city is abandoned. Here and
there stores are opened, machine shops are
active,'and labor incident to the public defence
is pushed vigorously forward, even in the most
exposed districts. Still many branches of
ordinary business, and most of the residents
are removed, because it would be foolhardy for
those not impelled by special duty to remain.
. The Mills House and Charleston Hotel—
those abodes of comfort and good
cheer—are closed; the Pavilion still invites the
sojourners to its hospitable roof;, most of the
habitues of Hayne, and parts of Meeting and
•King streets abandoned the desk
for the camp, or transferred their wares to
points secure from Yankee guns. IThat part
of the city to which the cowardly vengeance of
the foe has not penetrated, is “a map of busy
life.” The newspapers, post office, express
office, banks, and many business houses are in
successful operation, and the streets presents a
scene of animation not at all suggestive of a
state of Biege. .
GEKEBAL KELLEY’S DEPABTMENT.

gin La, Feb. 11.—Captured private letters from

and soldiers. Some of the letters refer to. cases
where the encounters have been attended with
loss of life. Al| the letters refer to the enforce

Gen. George Crook, from the Army of the
Cumberland, arrived in this department last
night. It is reported that he will be assigned
to the command.of the troops lately under
charge of the captured General Scammon.
Gen. Crook’s presence in this department is
hailed with much pleasure.
Ourscouts continue to pick up refugees and
deserters in the mountains.
A despatch dated Newbern, Feb. 7, says:
The enemy are again tiu-eatening our com
munications at various points. They made
another demonstration this morning on Now>-
port Barracks, which point they. will evidently
attempt to hold. The rebel iron-clad at Kings
ton, on the Neuse river, some thirty-five milesr
above Newbern, is considered a very for-1
midable affair by those who have seen it, who
report that she is about ready to act in concert
with the moving force which threatens New
bern. Everything indicates on the part of the
enemy a long siege against Newbern and
Washington.
The -Wilmington Journal says : “A power
ful effort will doubtless be. made to drive the
enemy from Eastern North Carolina: Should
onr army fail in this effort, the State will De
lost to the Confederacy.”

The Death-bandage op Gen. Walker,—
Lieutenant Samuel H. Drennon, who hag just
returned from Havana, brings with him, her
metically enclosed in glass, the bandage which
covered the eyes of Gen. William Walker,
when he was shot at Truxillo, Honduras. On
the glass inclosure is the following inscription:
“Remnant of the bandage which encircled the
brow of General William Walker, who, having
honorably capitulated to Norvell Sainton, com
mander of H. B. M. steamship of war Icarus,
was treacherously surrendered to the Honduras
authorities, and by them executed [on the 12th
of September, 1860, in the town of Truxillo.
Posterity will do justice to their memories.
The victim will be deplored while the traitor
will be execrated.” The bandage is thick with
gore, full of bullet holes, hud is partially
burned—the file of executioners standing so
close that the discharges set fire to it. It was
secured by the Orderly Sergeant of the General,
given to William Fulton, of Havana, and by
him forwarded through Lieutenant Drennon to
the father of General Walker, who resides at
Nashville, Tennessee. —Louisville Journal,

BY
MRS. HENRY WOOD.
Author of ‘ 1 Vcrtur 3 s Pride, ” * * the Castle * i Heir, ’ ’
Lynne," ki The Channings," A Lift't
Secret, " • ‘ The Mystery, * * etc .
*‘MRS. WOOD faithfully portrays bumble life,
and is never wearisome, whether a palatial man
sion or a ceglected hut is the scene of her heroine’s
vicissitudes. Pathos, humor, aQd sound sense,
by turns, gratify the mind, and touch the heart. In
* WILLIAM ALLAIR,’ the interest is uninter
ruptedly maintained from the ini i&l chapter to
the end. She is skillful in the delineation of
character, and evinces beyond a doubt a compre
hensive knowledge of human nature. Above all,
the crowning merit of her productions is their uni
formly high moral tone. They are not merely the
playthings of an hour; their influence is more
than ephemeral.
