service of these three companies expires on the 10th of the present month; but they will, of course, have to remain. To supply their place in the garrison, two companies, commanded by Captains Blount and Coghill, were withdrawn from Harker's Island, so that the rebel garrison of Fort Macon now consists of the following: Field and staff. Colonel, Moses J. White, Mississippi; Quartermaster, Capt. John F. Devine, Baltimore; Acting Assistant, Lieut. Robert E. Walker; Commissary, Captain Wm. C. King; Sergeant Major, James H.

King Cotton. We are glad to believe, from all the information that reaches us, that King Cotton, in order to make his dynasty more permanent, will abdicate the throne for a time in favor of Corn, Wheat and Potatoes. That Cotton is King, we have no manner of doubt, but kings must fall like other men, unless they manage their affairs with prudence and discretion. It is obvious that the great want of the South will soon be provisions, and that this can only be met by abandoning entirely thever, our planters can again return to their former occupation, and King Cotton resume his potent and beneficent away. But, until then, he must go into retirement, and if necessary, be burned for the good of his country. The consolation in burning him, if that be required, will be that his enemies will perish upon his funeral pyre. We shall let them see that Cotton is not only our King but theirs, and that if he falls, he will fall like Samson, and pull down the Philistines in a common ruin.

His command consisted of the following companies and parts of companies:--Capt. Bryant, 50 men; Capt. Strange, 50 men; Capt. Turner, 50 men; a detachment of Capt. Cole's, 15 men, Lieut. King commanding; a detachment of Capt. Andrew's, 15 men, Lt. Allison commanding, a detachment of Capt. Thomas's, 52 men, Orderly Sergeant Winsted commanding, and four men of Capt. Hays's company — the entire command consisting of about two hundred and six men. The expedition started from a point which need not be mentioned, and proceeded in the direction which promised the greatest certainty of meeting with the enemy. When or how they came upon his tracks, is a matter of indifference, but tho
