En doared to ns by a companion ship that was fruitful of every pleasure, by a rare nobility of character that was innate, and by an in tercourse of tbe warmest affection, causing ns to approach our sad duty with grieved hearts, we feel this to be hut a feeble effort to bear testimony to his goodness, his great purity of character and onr.abiding and earnest friendship.

Herald.] The United Stales steam transport Fulton, Cap tain Woiton, which left Port Royal on the 9th instant, and Charleston bar on the loth, arrived at New York yesterday evening. The sixty seventh regiment Ohio Volunteers, under com mand of Major L. Butler, was on Doard. The British ship-of-war Petrel arrived off Charleston baron the evening of Friday, the sth inst., wishing to communicate with the British Oonsiu at Savannah, Georgia. She also brought extensive despatches to J. P. Benjamin, rebel Secretary of War. State messages were pent to Admiral DahJgren, who was then at Port Royal,to get permission to enter the harbor. The Tequest was not granted, and the vessel puttoseaatonce. The Savannah RcpuMicon of February 1 gives a gloomy account of matters m the Oonfed-racy. The Commissary of Subsistence states that the amount of provisions now on hand will not Hast over a month. About two columns are devoted to adver tisements for deserters. Three deserters from the 97th Pennsylvania Vol unteers, attempted an escape at Ft-rnandina, They pasted the pickets, aud on arriving at the river they met a man with a boat, and engaged him to row them over. It was nearly morning/ On start ing, a dense fog arose, and the boatman, Mr Helper, brother of Cyrus Helper, instead of taking them to rebeldonr, brought them to onr shores, where they were handed over to onr guard, much to their discomfiture. They were tried by court martial and sentenced to be shot. The sentence was approved by Gen. GiUmore, and they will be shot Tuesday, 9tb, at Fernaudina.’ Hbadqu akturs, Hilton Hbap, S. C., Feb. 5, 1654.—0 n Tuesday morning last, at daylight a large Clyde built iron steamer, schooner rigged, and with two smoke-stacks, was discovered bv our troop* at Battery Strong, Cummings's Point,'Mor ris Island,apparentlyashorem Maffiitt’ a channel. Off Fort Monltria, Sullivan's Island. When firsi discovered a large number of men were observed on berdischarging cargo and transporting it to the beach. In ashort time one three-hundred-pounder Parrott and other heavy rifle 3 were trained upon and soon opened Are. The drat shell from the huge rifle struck nesr her and dashed immense volumes of spray in the ajr. \ second shot fol lowed quickly alter, and the rebels began to desert the vessel and hurry ashore in tho most excited manner, which was not at all quieted by the third shot, which crushed through the iron sides of the steamer and sent the fragments flying in all direc tions. The steamer wat-instantly deserted by the loiterers, wb# jumped overboard, took to the shore, and then to their heels in ah Amusing manner. The fire was still maintained from the b»&vy guns, and eight shot and shell put through the vessel, which sank as the tide came up and rushed through the gaping holes in her hull. The work was so well don that it was apparent that no possible effort on the part of the rebels eould float her up to the city. Daring the day the batteries ou Cummings’s|Point would play upon her at intervals, for the purpose of preventing the rebels H a n saving the balance ot the cargo. On tbe following day the Monitors ran up jo wards Moultrie and- finished the work oi destruc tion most effectually,; by knocking the Anglo-rebel to pieces with their fifteen-inch shells. Perhaps some of the cargo may float ashore from tbe wreck, but the great bulk ef )t is undoubtedly lost. Tbe steamir was evidently inward bound, and came very near effecting a successful “run.” She had run by tbe naval cordons of blockaders, and rnn ashore nearly under tbe gunsof Moultrie A few daye since a sergeant of the rebel army end seven men came into our lines at Fort Pulaski from Savannah. They epeak rather gloemly of affairs in the Confederacy, -the burden of their stoiy being the old one—of discontent, starvation and a merciless conscription. They represent the present supply of provisions for the army as only sufficient for one month’ ■ consumption. The rebels have been dreading an attack on Sa vannab, and have reinforced General Mercer by six thousand men from the coast line. They have, as a further defence, planted a largo number of torpedoes in the Savannah and Wilmington fivers, and, in short, in all the viator and land approaches to the city. They hops to make a successfni de. fence against our attack, if one is attempted. Nearly all the soldiers are anxious to desert, and either return to their homes or come nuder onr flag again. One or two regiments have mutinied, and were enly compelled to return to dnty by the most summary proceedings. The troops think the jig is about up. They are fully posted on the President’s amneaty proclamation, and deeire to avail them selves of its provisions. HlPhiladelthlax Killed John Berryman of Battery A, Third Pennsylvania Artillery, a guard on board of the fiag-of-truce boat New York, (now taking in coal at Dobbin’s wharf, Baltimore,) on Wednesday obtained per mission to come into that city, and upon re turning to find bis boat, stopped upon the plat form on the trestling work built over the whari, and there fell asleep, and during, the night rolled over the platform and fell upon the coal heap on the wharf beneath, causing his death. A piece of coal was found em bedded in his left temple. He leaves a wi dowed mother in Philadelphia, to whom his re mains were sent for interment. Death or a Nun.—A sad accident occurred at the Ursuline Convent, in St. Louis, last Sunday. Some improvements were being added to the convent building, and on Sunday some of the Sisters went up to examine the work in progress, when one of them, Sister Mary Otelia, fell through the hatchway,striking her head-upon an iron kettle beneath, and frac turing her skull from the frontal to the occipital bone, causing instant death. She was a Ger man by birth, and forty-Beven years of age. No Cause or Actioy.— Gen. Curtis, in one of his iate Kansas positively announces to all concerned that “there is not enough of the negro left to quarrel about.” We beg leave to call the attention of all Cop perhead colorphobists to this I cheering state ment, -and to ask them, if it be true, why it should not moderate the rancor of their ire? Army Hosmtais— On the first of February there were 4,940 patients in the Army Hos pitals in and about Washington.

Dbaft Meeting is the NiketeestiiWarp — A spirited draft meeting was held last eve ning hi the Temperance Hall, in York street, below Franktord road. There was a . .tori?®, attendance of the citizens of the vicinity, and the proceedings throughout were harmonious and satisfactory. From the reports of uie various committees appointed to canvas the \\ ard lor contributions, it was ascertained that the amountaJready. subscribed isabouteleven thousand dollar?, of which nearly eight thousand dollars rave been paid in. It Is estimated.that not more tfean eighteen thousand dollars will be required to exempt the War*_ from the • draft, and judging from the progress already made no trouble will be experienced in securing that amount at an eariv date. This fact speaks well for the liberality of the residents of this district, who are mostly working people of limited means, and also fortbe persevering euergy ol the different canvassing committees. The dis bursing committee reported that they are holding daily sessions, from i to 5 o’ clock in the afternoon, at the Military HalJ, in Third street below Green, and that thus far they have obtained nearly two hundred men. who have received their bounty and will be accredited tothe quota of the ward.

The Faculty of ihe High Schools appeared to be in favor of the ap pointment of a General Superintendent, but the teacher* of the Grammar Schools, with a few ex ceptioat, were opposed to such a course. Sr. Yalehtixe’s Day.— To-morrow will be St, Valentines day, and the “lads-and lasses'* aiesendinp: around their loving missive* to-day by wholesale. The custom of celebrating thirfes tival per postman has Jallen greatly into disuse of late years, in consequence of the vulgar and scur rilous caricatures called Valentines which have hitherto been circulated for the purpose of enabling the mean and spiteful to vent their spleen upon those whom they wish to wound* Tbk Monroe Girls’ Grammar School.— Yesterday afternoon the first Commencement o the Monroe Girls* Grammar School took place.

Perhaps not in «ome forms, for there is nothing to which the old adage that Providence sends victuals and the other parts the cook, applies better than to sugar. But sugar of itself is whole some, as is proved by the fact that the men, women and children upon sugar plantations all become as fat as butter, and ttcy almost live upon sugar. To obtain sweetmeats that have all the native whole someness of the sugar, with all the dainty combi nations with other good and delieious things, which superior skill can prodnee, go to the popular store ofE.

AMUSEMENTS Gbrxax Ofhra.—The first performance of Richard Wagner’s opera of Tannhauser drew a very large audienee to the Academy of Music. People listened to it in a condition of perplexity. The overture made a good impression- but them the scene on the Yenusberg wae dull and weari some. The chorus of Pilgrims, in the next scene, pleased every one; hut it occurs half a dozen times in the opera and, of course, was not rel ished so much at the end as at the beginning. Tha second act is decidedly grand. The march and chorus in the tournament scene are splendid. No one who listens to that scene can deny that Wag ner possesses the gilt of melody in a rare degree. That he is a thorough master of harmony, also, is proved by every other part of the opera. Tha finale of the second act is another fine piece of mu sical writing, and it iB as effective as some of the grand finales of the modern I alian stage. The last act, which should he the best, is so full of leng dreary recitatives, and fragmentary, un formed melodies, that it proves tiresome, except to those who have a critical cariosity to study queer intervals in the singing and fantastic modu lations in the instrumentation. It is hard to say that a majority of the audience, atthe end of tho opera, would not have voted it a bore. But a work, of such fame is not to he condemned on a single hearing. The simplest opera is noc appreciated at first. Tannhttu nr is so very elaborate and sofbre, that it mnst require numerous hearings to enable one to comprehend it thoroughly. The artists en gaged in it acquitted themselves very well, and the orchestra did its very difficult part of the work much better than we had expected. This afternoon- Ths Jfrrry TFim* o/ Windsor Is to be played, and on Monday evening, for the first time in America, Spohr’s opera Jcisonda.
