As far as we have intelligence, the sacrifice of brave men on these two vessels in almost or quite as great and equally deplorable as at Ball's Bluff, which the scene at Hampton Roads calls mentably to mind. Who is to blame?--That is the angry question that on Sunday night and Monday rose instinctively to every lip. While no one was sufficiently informed to answer the question, the old distrust of the management of thgiant. The little John Smith, which plies between Chesnut street wharf and the Island, would be of more service, or at least have better chance of escape. There is one other point.

They inferred that the enemy had deelded to evacuate the island, and were burning the houses there, including the town of Beaufort. There is, however, nothing to confirm this impression, and it is considered much more probable that the Yakees were burning portions of the pine woods, for reasons of a military nature. We are glad to be able to announce that the health of the troops composing the Army of the Coast is far better than it has hitherto been, and is steadily improving. The strength of our line of defences and the disposition of our forces, are such a o render it improbable that the enemy will at this into day, make any serious attempt to advance inland.
