aod Important which has occurred since the
war commenced. ..)-
Learning that the gunboat Bienville Is to
leave this afternoon with despatches, 1 shall
attempt to give yon a hurried accoont of
what has happened since the arrival of the
fleet off the coast of Sooth Carolina. i
Moat of the squadron came to anchor We
on Monday last, bat the espeditirn had been
disintegrated by theietorm, and many of the
vessels which were most necessary to our
soccest were missing j among these were the
Ocesn Express, opoo which some short
sighted official bad placed all the ordinance
of the expedition, instead of dividing it
among the other transports. The ferry boats
also, opoo which rested all onr hopes for a
speedy disembarkation,' and the Osceola,
Union, lieividere, (transports,) wito cargoes
of commissary stores, and deck loads o'
beeves and horses, and the Ericsson, wit J
Himilton's light battery, did not arrive.
Added to the uncertainty and anxiety re
specting the safety of these vessels was the
full knowledge of the loss of the Governor
and Peerless ; end out mishaps and despond'
eocy on these accounts were made heavier to
bear because no attempt was made to land ;
nod while we were missing the fine weather,
the Rebels were improving onr delay by
strengthening their means of defence in sight
of 08.
Three gno-boats belonging to the Confede
rates, nnder the command of Captain Tatoall,
formerly of the United States Navy, opened
fire at long range upon onr war vessels, which
approached Port Royal Inlet for the purpose
of recoonoitering, on Monday evening, and
about fifty shots were exchanged ; bat do
harm resulted to either side, for the Rebels
steamed away with their high 'pressure craft
before our vessels could get near enough to
injure them. Our gun boats then returned,
and took position around a portion of the
transports which had anchored within the
bar about five miles from shore, in order to
protect them from any insolence on the part
of those ashore ; but the night passed without
molestation.
On Tuesday, everybody thought an attempt
would be made to land troops upon either
one or other of tbe headlands at the entrance
of Port Royal harbor. These beadlaoda are
nearly three miles apart, and are respectively
known as Hilton's Head aod Bay Point tbe
former being tbe northeast extremity of
Hilton's Head Island, and tbe other the
southeast point of St. Phillip's Island.
Before attempting to disembark, however,
General Sherman, with the prudence aod
caution of a military leader, determined opoo
making a reconnoissar.ee, to find out whether
the proposed point of landing had been forti'
tied by tbe enemy or not. Be started on
this mission at daybreak, accompanied by
Captain Giltnoor, Chief of the Engineers, and
other members of tbe staff; but before tbe
little 8 tea 01 tug Mercury, opoo which tbe
recoonoitering party had taken position, had
gone half a mile in tbe direction oi tbe shore,
tbrue Rebel guo'boats, nnder Tatnall, came
outside of tbe bay, aod burled defiance, with
10 inch shell, to the Ottawa, Uoadilla, Paw
Dee, Seminole, Curlew and Isaac P. Smith.
Neither of Tatnall's vessels was able to
send a shell within a mile of any of our boats
where he made this demonstration, aod as
oar gaos were powerless to hurt him at that
distance, a movement was made towards him.
He retreated, however, for the purpose of
petting our boats to follow him aod thus
expose themselves to the fire of two powerful
Bbnre batteries, which were erected, one oo
each side of tbe entrance to the bay, and tbe
guns of which were plainly to be seen. Tbe
Mercury, with General Sherman, steamed
after tbe gun'boats, wbich bad by this time
entered opon a sbarp action with both bat'
teries, white Tatnall remained uoder cover
behind the point. Tbe engagement lasted
about half an hour and lully demonstrated tbe
immense streugth of tbe Rebel fortifications.
Their gunnery was excellent, but fortunately
oo greater damage resulted to our side than
u trifling injury to the rigging of tbe Ottawa.
Several of the shells throwo by the Pawnee
exploded within tbe battery at Hay Point,
among tbe tents of ao encampment in tbe
rear, doubtless destroying many lives. Tbe
object of the recoonoissance having been
attained, the gun boats were ordered to rejoin
the Meat, and General Sherman, accompanied
by Generals Wright and Stephens, afterwards
mat in consultation with Commodore Dupont,
00 board the VV abash.
Their deliberations terminated with a
decision tuat tbe battery at Milton Head
must first be silecced before an attempt could
be made to land the troops ; for, with the
limited means of debarkation to which the
expedition had beeo reduced by the storm,
there was no other point at which this could
be accomplished.
Tbe navy, under these circumstances, could
alone be looked to for relief, aod tbe military
bad to retire impoteotly before tbe obstacles
wbich presented themselves ; but bluejackets
have a reputation for being equal to emer
gencies, and in this instance tbey nobly
sustained it.
It was intended that the attack should
commence on that afternoon, aod active
preparations were made for it. The Wabash
aod smaller frigates ware cleared for action ;
boats taken in, topmasts housed, and rigging
secured from falling, should a shot chance to
cot it ; while the little gnn boats, whose motto
is "always ready," flitted about impatient for
their cumbrous Jomrades to finish their bel
ligerent toilettes.
At three o'clock, therefore, tbe vessels
commenced moving toward the shore, to wbich
tba Rebel navy lay io close proximity, defr
actly Bauotiog tbair insoleat Aags. I bad
forgotten to staia (bat, earlier ia the day, tbe
Wabash aod larger transports crossed the
bar and came to anchor near the remainder
of lbs fleet. Tbe vessels cautiously went
along, a man stationed io tbe obains heaving
the lead aod calling out lae depltt of water,
Notwithstanding this precaution, the flag1
ship, some distaoee io tbe van, groooded oo
the end of tbe Fishing Rip Shoal, a shifting
eand bar, which bad changed since the last
survey of tbe harbor. This casualty detained
her ao hour and a half, aod meantime tbe sun
had declined too far to render tba attack
feasible that day,
Tba disappointment io consequence was
vory great, and next morning it was almost
unbearable when tbe wind was found to be
blowing so strongly that another day would
pass inactively. Bat all things have an
ending, and yesterday (Thursday) morning
loo.nl everything propitious for an attack.
Tbe wind blew gently from tba northeast.
and scarcely a ripple disturbed the surface of
the water. Early io the morning the Rebel
gun-boats took up their former position at
the entrance of tbe bay, and six large river
steamers, supposed to contain troops, passed
backward and forward Ia tbe offins?. fcCAaaioo
ally approacbiog tbe fortifications 00 eitber
side. At nine o'clock tbe siirnal was virao
by tbe Wabash to raise anchor, aod Io balf
an hour aJtarsrardi all tbe vessels were under
way, tbe Oag-sbip leading, and tba tJasqoe-
banaa, Mohioao, Seminole, Pawnee, aod
Oiners, luiiowing aesordlpg to tbeu sis,
Tbe lust bad scarcely got witbio range
the batteries when that oo Hay Point opeoed
tire, and oot oiore tbaa n snionU elapsed
before tbe Hilton Uead fortifitiaUou rained
(jilli terrible eipwer. For lew nomeots,
it pursuance of a previously formed deter
minatios not to waste a shot, the Wabash
and the rest steamed silently oo, receiving
tbefr Ore, regardless alike of borsting sbelle,
bumming projectiles aod whirring round shot,
which plunged Into tbe water from a quarter
to nail a mils away. Tba distance between
the two fortifications is two miles and six
tenths, and tbe water makes e.jjrtft passage
through tbe straits between them.
Tba current wss setting in when the
engagement commenced, and as Done of tbe
vessels eould remain stationary before either
battery, ooless they had anchors out, it was
determined tbat tbe forts should be passed
aod fired into alternately. Accordingly the
vessels entered the bay oo tbe northern side,
oot more than eight hundred yards from Bay
Point battery, into which each delivered fire
from its starboard guns. Then they swept
around in a circuit oi a mile or a mile aod
bait, . and bore down towards Hilton Head.
opoo wbicb tbe cootenls of tbe port broad
sides were thrown. Tbe four larger vessels
alone performed this manoeuvre, while tbe
remaining eight gun-boats participating in
tbe battle took positions about a mile north
oi tbe fortifications, into wbicb tbey threw
unceasingly a destructive enfilading fire,
From my point of observatioo, on tbe
Atlaotic, about three miles from tbe com
bataots, the operations, both afloat aod
ashore, were very well seen by tbe aid of a
poweifol telescope belonging to tbe Engineer
corps oi tee expedition.
After tbe first attack opoo Bay Point,
during which several ricocheting shells burst
plumply witbm tbe battery, and others in
tree tops far beyond it, scattering destruction
amid the soldiers who were concealed in tbe
vicinity, tbe vessels comparatively neglected
it, allowing it to blaze away witb only an
occasional rejoinder, while tbey devoted
themselves to extinguishing tbe fire at Hilton
Head.
Jo describing their circuit and delivering
tbe fire, tbe steamers, each time, consumed
about an hour. - As the Wabash came down
on tbe second round, she thundered forth ber
salutations at a distance of not more than
six hundred yards from tbe battery, aod, as
ber shells exploded, large columns of dust
would rise, indicating tbe point where tbe
fragments struck aod ploughed the ground.
On the third round, I am told tbat she ap
proached two hundred yards nearer than
before, and made awfol havoc, sending shells
in various parts of tbe woods within a range
of three miles, io order tbat tbe Rebels,
supposed to be concealed there, might be
driven from their biding places.
What is true respecting tbe firing of the
Wabash, is also tbe fact regarding tbat of the
Satqaebaona, Mohican, Vaodalia, and others.
Kacb vessel discharged ber broadside at tbe
shortest possible range.
But tbe enemy was by no means inactive.
Some of his guns were rifled, and not one of
them was poorly served. Tbe red shirts of
their gunners were seen above tbe parapets
of their works during tbe hottest part of tbe
fight, and tbe bravery aod pluck displayed
excited tbe involuotary encomiums of tbe
spectators. Tbat their markmaosbip was
good, the torn bulls and cut riggings of our
vessels, ratber tbao tbe number of killed and
wounded oo board of them furnish full evi
dence. Three of their guns seemed to have
been dismounted almost simultaneously when
the firing had beeo in progress three hours;
aod theo, for the first time, was there any
wavering on their part, it subsequently was
ascertained tbat tbe shells wbich threw over
tbe - guns did fearful executioo opoo tbe
artillerists, aod caused tbe partial silence of
tbe battery.
The Wabash aod other vessels again, for
the fourth time, made a detour, while tbe
gun boats contioued to tbrow io tbeir fierce
euGlading fire, wbicb now received but a
feeble reply from the fort. By tbe time tbat
tbe fleet was again in front of tbe enemy, he
was obaorwoel i We vMilug Ulm j
Men were hastening across a meadow to the
shelter of a piece o( woods, about balf a mile
io tbe rear, carrying witb them their wounded,
baggage, Ac. This was precisely a quarter
before three o'clock, and io a few moments
afterwards tbe Rebels struck tbeir flag,
raising a white one npoo tbe staff.
The signal to ceaBe firing was at once given
by the flag ebip wbicb lowered a boat and
sent it ashore, carrying a flag of truce at the
bow, and oor owo proud banner at the stem.
Captaio Joho Rogers, a passenger on tbe
W abash, who had come down to join bis
vessel, tbe Flag, now blockading off Charles
ton, volunteered to take the boat asbore,
wbicb be did, himself and crew being nnarm
ed ; but there was oo one there to receive
tbem. No time was lost by tbe sailors io
planting tbe United States ensign upon tbe
extreme outer parapet of the fortification,
while Captaio Rogers displayed tbe beloved
emblem of our oationality opon tbe flag
staff of a building a few rods to the right,
from wbicb tbe rebel standard bad just been
lauea down.
Who ahull describe the enthusiasm with
which tbis glorious' victory was received ?
Tbe minds of the eager spectators of tbe
fight bad been in a measure prepared for it
by seeing the boat go asbore with a Sag of
truce, aod as sooo as our flag was planted
upon tbe parapet, cbeer followed cheer from
the vessels. Tears of joy filled many eyes,
and bands were cordiully shaken end congrat
ulations freely expressed. Some, in the
exuberance of tbeir exultatiog, danced wildly
and clappek their bands, until it became a
matter of doubt that tbey would ever cease
tbeir antics. The ebullition of patriotic ferver
was not decreased io tbe least when tbe
regimental bands played, witb hearty feeling
tbe "Star Spangled Bauner," whose majesty
bad been so signally vindicated.
1 be transports bad beeo lying, during the
actioo witb tbeir anchors "hove abort," ready
to run np witb tbe troops at the first sign of
victory. I bey immediately sleamec toward
the fort, awakeoiog echoes by tbe cbeers
which burst spontaneously from tbe soldiers,

N avy, as eacb ship tbat bad beeo in tbe battle
was passed.
Meantime, Lient. Barnes of tbe Wabash,
bad made a landing with bis battalion of
sailors, whom be stationed as sentinels about
tbe fort, placing bis pickets about 200 feet
from tbe water limit of the work. Everything
about tbe batteiy aod tbe encampment to
the right of it indicated tbat its late occupants
bad decamped in a hurry, probably ooder tbe
influence of a paoic. Not ooe of tbe twenty-
tbree guoa forming tbe battery was spiked,
and they were ail in complete order for
defending the place by our troops in case of
aland attack, several Doing loaded, is one
of tbe ammunition bad beea removed or
destroyed, and every conceivable tbiog con
nected witb a military camp could oe louna

taken away tbeir camp furniture, clothing,

although a glance at a few of the tents
showed tbem to be Io a stale of eoofusion, as
If tbair coateuts had beeo overhauled. These
tents, both for the officers and men, about
eighty io number, were well furnished, floored
and mora comfortabla in all respects, tbao
those generally used by oor owo men, aod
there were aboodaot evidences that tba com
misriat was well supplied
Tbe work of landing tbe troops was com
menced immediately, but it was slow eod
tedious operation. Tbe surf aod other small
boats, wbicb were tbe ooly means of debark
atioo, eould ooly approach to about one
baodrod yards from tbe beach, because a sand
bar intervened between tbem. Tbe soldiers,

I have not time however to describe tbe
disgraceful scenes. . .
Tbe fort itself is a very fine defensive work,
and was nearly completed. It was ao sign
Jar structure covering four acres of ground.
The deep ditch rans around the exterior,
where pickets are planted on the land side
and two palisades of palmetto logs, with
oop notes lor musketry defended tbe ap
proacbes to the work on tbe sea coasts from
mlantry assaults. The enemy had twenty,
two guos in position, but three were dis
mounted by oor fire. Tbe remainder are all
in serviceable conditioo, with good carriages
Ac. Following Is a list of tbe pieces :
Thirteen 32 pound smooth sea coast guns ;
two heavy siege guos ; two rifled 8 Inch guns;
one 10 inch columbaid j two carronades i one
8 inch gnn, and an abundant supply of
ammunition, consisting of friction tubes,
shells, cartridges, shrapnel, grape and roand
shot. A large quantity of small arms were
also seised. The interior of the fort was
supplied with numerous traverses, and tbe
magsxines, sally-ports, and in fact everything
about tbe fortification, bears evidence of skill
and careful construction.
Six dead bodies were found within the
battery onburied, and at least twenty more
were slightly covered with earth at tbe foot
of ooe of tbe traverses. Jt is known that tbe
Rebels carried away some of tbeir dead, and
It is thought from the data obtained, that
their loss In killed alone was fully one hun
dred. Our killed throughout tbe fleet is only
eigbt, and wounded twenty.
From letters found in tbe Rebel esmp, and
information obtained from two prisoners, ft is
ascertained tbat, during tbe action, there
were only fifteen hundred troops at Hiltoo
Head, end about eigbt hundred at Bay
Point. Tbey were commanded bv Brieadier-
General Thomas L. Drayton, a wealthy
planter residing oo the island. The trooDS
consisted of the Ninth and Twelfth Regi
ments of South Carolina Volunteers, com
manded respectively by Colonels William C.
ueywaroand JMIiott. The camp at Hilton
Head was called Camp Campbell, and the
battery Fort Walker. The fort at Bay
Coin I was named in booor or Beauregard.
The oames of tbe killed on our side, as far
as 1 have been able to ascertain, are
On the Wabash Thomas J ackson. cantain
of forecastle gun, thigh shot off by a 42 pound
sbot, and four other men were wouuded at
tbe same gun.
On the Mohican Third Assistant Engi

through the hammock nettings. He was
standing at tbe bell pull at tbe time. At the

The Uoadilla received seven shots io her
bull. No ooe wss hurt oo board.
Tbe Webasb was struck thirty four times.
Ooe shot lodged in her conoter, causing her
to leak badly; rigging badly cut; mainmast
njureo beyond Dope of repair, although she
will endeavor to get to New York witb it ;
the ports, spare spars, channels cut. and
spanker boom shattered. Not aoy of tbe
vessels engaged escaped more or less injury.
Tbe fortifications at Bay Point were aban.
doned by the enemy at the time of the
evacuatioo of Hiltoo Head. Tbe works
there are scarcely inferior to those opposite.
Stevens' brigade, consisting of tbe New York
Seventy. nintb and Eighth Michigan, occupy
toe place. 1 here were lourteeo guns aban
doned, only one of wbicb was spiked. 32
pound guns were mounted oo the water front
and also columbaids. One rifled guc burst
into fragments wbile the Rebels were using
it, and killed several without a doubt. To
tbe right of the principal redoubt, or main
battery, is another of three guns As at
Hiltoo Head, the Rebels were well supplied
witb all kinds of ammunition, which has fallen
into oar bands. Vast quantities of stores,
rice, &c, were left behind. When tbeaimy
took possession of the place, a letter was
foond from Colonel Elliot, addressed to tbe
Commander of the United States forces, to
tbe eflect tbat, finding the place untenable
agniupt the force brought before it, aod in
view of the evacuatioo of Hilton Head, be
had determined to abandon bis position,
adding, that it would be better to fight tbe
cause of the Southern Confederacy elsewhere,
tbao to be taken prisoners and confined at
Fort Lafayette.
Yesterday, several successful reronnoisan.
ces were made by the Engineer corps. Tbe
country was explored six or seven miles from
camp on the eastern and western shores of
Hilton Head Island. 1 have not time to
giveyou particulars. Not a white man was
seen, however, about tbe pliiotutinos, and but
few negroes. About two dozen bsve come
into our camps. They say tbat the troops
all left tbe island on Thursday oigbt. The
reconnoitering parties brought io severe
cart-loads of amis, blankets, cartridge boxes.
stores and otber things, wbich tbe enemy
bad tbrowo away in bis burried flight. There
is plenty of forage to be obtained, and on
Colonel Drayton's plantation, quantities of
commissary stores were fouod in a warehouse,
A few dead men and several wounded were
found by tbe roadsides.
A Fioiitino Negro. A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune, describing the battle of
Uelmoot, says :
"During tbe thickest of the fight tbe troriy
servant of General McClernaud, a mulatto
named William'Stains, of Decatur, exhibited
conspicuous coursge. He was close by the
General during tbe whole engagement, cbeer
mg tbe soldiers and swearing tbat be would
shoot tbe first man tbat showed tbe white
feather. Many of us laughed heartily at the
fighting darkey, wbile tbe bullets flew like
bail about us.
"Jo the course of tbe fight, a Captain of
ooe oi tbe companies was struck by a spent
ball, wbich disabled him from walking. Tbe
mulatto boy, wbo was mouoted, rode np to
bim and shouted out, 'Captain, if you can
Gght any longer for tbe old Stars aud Stripes,
take my borse and lead your men.' He then
dismounted and helped tbe wounded officer
into bis saddle. When he was walking away,
a rebel dragoon rushed forward at tbe officer
to take bim prisoner. Tbe darkey drew bis
revolver aod pat a ball through tbe rebel's
bead, scattering bis brains all over the horse's
neck.
"1 relate these little circumstances so tbat
merit may be justly dealt witb, even if tbe
hero is a 'nigger,' as some people would call
ibit orate tallow."

The Proprietor in calling the attention of lha public to

which it is recommended.
It is no new aud untried article, hut on that has stood
the test of a twelve years' trial before the American peo
ple, and its reputation snd snle are unrivalled by any similar
preparation extant. The testimony in its fnvof given by
the most prominent and well-known Phvsirians and indi
viduals in all putts of Hie country Is immense, and a care
ful perusal of the Almanse, published niiuniilly by the pro

not bet satisfy the most skeptical that this remedy is roully

From J. Newton Brown, D. D., Kditor of the Encyclope
dia of Religious Knowledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent
Mediomes In general, throngh distrust of tbefr ingredients
ami effects, I yet knowof no sntneicnt reason why a man
may not test y to the lirnelil he believes himself to have
received from sny simple preparation, in the hope that he
may thaa contribute to4he benefit of others
I do this tbe more readily in regnid to "llooflniid's Oer
man Bi)lers," prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of thisofcy,
because I was prcjuctced aguinst them for yenrs, under the
impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I
am indebted to my friend Rolieit Slioemalier, l'.sq., for tbe
removal of this prejudice by proper tests, nnd for encnur
agementtn trv them, when sum-ring fromgreat nnd long
continued debility. The ose of three bottles of these Hit,
ters. st the beginning of the present year, was followed
by evident relief, and restoration to a degree of Ipodily and
mental vigor which I had not felt for six months before
and had almost despaired of regaining. 1 therefore thank
Ood and my friend for directing me to the use of ibem.
