Heyward, as soon as they arrived at Beaufort, were put into the army. The small pox prevailed extensively on Paris Island. The houses of Mr. Nat. Heyward and Mr. John Barnwell, in Beaufort, are occupied as hospitals. A white "superintendent" is placed upon every plantation, except such as have been "sold" to Yankee settlers. They are quartering up the land into 20 acre lots, and persuading the negroes to put up cabins and rent these lots. There is a telegraph from Beaufort Island to Hilton Head via Paris Island, and from Beaufort toward Port Royal Ferry. A Captain Paine (whom we took prisoner on a scout between Morris and James Islands) and a millwright named Saulsbury, are the two greatest Yankee scouts, and have frequently been over to the main. General Gillmore has sent North for 40,000 men, and some of them (all drafted men) have come.--On Land's End two negro men have been shot dead for swearing that they would not fight. One of them belonged to Mr. Richard Fuller, and th

The Savannah Republican says that it has been ascertained that great activity prevails among the enemy at Beaufort and Hilton Head. A large number of vessels are in Port Royal, and heavy accessions have been made within a few days to the troops on Hilton Head. On Friday afternoon the vessels were moving about with great activity between Hilton Head and Beaufort. The intentions of the enemy are of course unknown; but it is fair to presume that they meditate an early descent upon the CharlestHilton Head and Beaufort. The intentions of the enemy are of course unknown; but it is fair to presume that they meditate an early descent upon the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, if not an attack upon or demonstration against Savannah. We shall probably hear from them at some point in the course of a few days at farthest. It has recently been ascertained that the Yankees have pretty well abandthe coast of Georgia. There are none on St. Simons, Cumberland, or Jekyll Islands, and very few, if any, on the Islands higher up the coast. They keep a gunboat in most of the inlets. Most of the pirates are probably congregated at Hilton Head.

The Siege of Charleston. Charleston, Jan. 13. --The bombardment of the city has been continuous since the last report. The enemy are firing from two guns. The shots fired average about ten an hour. One hundred and sixty shots were thrown from 6 o'clock Tuesday morning to 6 o'clock the same evening. A large number of transports, filled with troops, have been observed going South. An increased fleet at Hilton Head is reported.

and in fact I will tell you that at parties in this city declare that Mobile is about being attacked by Farragut on the water and the troops of Gen Banks on laud. May their prophecy prove true. Between the hours of eight and ten on Saturday night last, the Admiral received the public at the residence of General Banks, in Coliseum street.--Visitors poured in to welcome and shake the old veteran by the hand, and during the whole time there was a constant stream. A letter from Hilton Head, S. C., dated the 27th ult., says: When expectation, inspired by the vision of a grand expedition was at its height, it was dispelled before even the moment which promised to be for minable was inaugurated. It was whispered through the army that one portion of it should win to in Mobile and another in Savannah, after the strongholds which guard these rebel cities had been battered into ruins. But this programme of trophies was soon blotted out. Whatever the cause may have been,

my in Florida. --Eighteen Yankee vessels, gunboats and transports, ascended the St. John's river on the 8th inst., and landed a considerable body of troops at Jacksonville. Latest accounts represent them to be advancing in the direction of Lake City, though of this there is some doubt. The Savannah Republican has the following about the probable design of this movement: One of three objects is contemplated by this movement, which is doubtless the same that has been preparing at Hilton Head for some time past, though it is somewhat strange that none of our coast pickets should have discovered and reported their sailing southward. The enemy may design scouring the State of Florida, if the force, of whose exact number we have no information, should warrant it, and then, by a union with troops from Pensacola, proceed to Mobile and co-operate in the attack on that city. Another hypothesis is that they contemplate a raid into Southern Georgia, with the belief that it affords a

The Yankee force removed from South Carolina to Florida. The Hilton Head correspondent of the N. Y. World, writing on the 9th inst., says that the seat of war has been removed from South Carolina to Florida. Admiral Dahlgren has gone to Jacksonville, Florida. The letter says: All the effective regiments whicnext day for a destination unknown to them. When the morning came, nearly eleven thousand troops. Including some batteries, embarked on the steamers; and the living military burden on the waters presented a scene of martial activity to which Hilton Head has long been a stranger. Gen. Seymour was in command; and before the expedition salted he had a lengthy audience with General Climore. It was intended for Florida, to co-operate with our forces in st. Augustine, and to capture the connectiv

The attack on Whitemarsh Island. --The Savannah Republican of the 23d, in referring to the attack on Whitemarsh Island, near that city on the 22d, says that it was on a far grander scale than the first accounts indicated. It furnishes the following account of the affair: The expedition was composed of four regiments and a part of a fifth. It sailed from Hilton Head soon after dark, Sunday evening, under the command of Col. Howell, of Pennsylvania, now acting Brigadier. About three hundred of the party were dispatched in launches from near Fort Pulaski, and landed on Whitemarsh not far from Oakland Bridge, about daylight. The remainder, or four regiments, landed about a mile further east on the plantation of Col Gibson. The object seems to have been to capture our forces on the Island, and to this end the first named party sent forward a detachment of twenty men under Lt. John E. Michelor commanding company C, 85th Pennsylvania regiment, to take possession of the br

ana cavalry had been captured by the rebels. The same correspondent says the naval attack on Mobile was a mere demonstration against Fort Gaines to prevent Maury from going to help Polk Rumor said that one or two vessels had been crippled and that the fleet had put back out of range. The Calhoun, according to the same rumor, had been sunk. Our troops are rapidly returning from Pass Cavalo, Texas, and going to the Teche, where some 12,000 of our men are concentrated. The Herald's Hilton Head correspondent says that Gen Gillmore had sent orders to Florida that in future only Jacksonville should be held by our troops, and no effort whatever should be made to occupy other towns. The objects of this War. In the United States Senate, on Tuesday last, Mr. Wilson reported the following bill, (as a substitute for Mr. Carlisle's resolutions,) which may be taken as the final declaration of the views of the Republican party: That the objects of the war are the subjugation

destruction has been consummated. The time has gone by for obedience without protection. I speak decided language, but the continued recurrence of these outrages — frequently attended with murder, and always without redress — demands it. They must be stopped, let the consequences be what they may. Reprisals in such cases are now the only way left for a return to law and order. C. L. Vallandigham The Florida disaster to be Retrieved. A letter in the New York World, dated at Hilton Head, the 10th inst., has the following about the Florida disaster: The thoughtful calm which follows a disastrous battle still prevails here; and there is little transpiring to vary the military monotony which has previously marked this department. The recess which mercifully follows human slaughter, tired of its own horrors, is, however, but a period of preparation for its continuance; and already plans are being formed to retrieve the defeat of Olustee. Reinforcements are occasional
The Daily Dispatch: April 23, 1864., [Electronic resource], Federal inhumanity to their own wounded. (search)
a Federal defeat is published in the New York Tribunes, which, if we were not acquainted, with the inhumanity, of Federal officers, we should deem almost incredible. When the Cosmopolitan arrived at Beaufort with a cargo of 240 wounded men, a ball was going on. Generals Gilmore and Saxon, who were present, immediately left the festive scene and went to the boat, and then heard for the first time of the defeat of the army; the only intimation of a reverse prior to this was a telegram from Hilton Head stating that some wounded men were on their way. Gen. Saxon returned to the ball room, informed the guests of the catastrophe, and ordered the lights to be put out. We will give the rest of the narrative in the words of the New York Tribune: A second time he had to give the command before it was obeyed. A surgeon present made a little speech, setting forth the superfluity of the man date, inasmuch as the wounded men were not to be removed until the following morning About half a doz
