ght vessels which I hoped to have made use of, were destroyed on the desertion of the forts by the rebels. The post-offices were visited, and a number of documents, letters, &c., obtained. I have covered Scull Creek, the mouth of Broad River, and have cut off this communication between Charleston and Savannah. Respectfully, your obedient servant, S. F. Dupont, Flag-officer Commanding United States Atlantic Squadron. Letter of the Secretary of war. Navy Department, Washington, Nov. 16. sir: It is with no ordinary emotion that I tender to you and your command, the heartfelt congratulations and thanks of the Government and the country, for the brilliant success achieved at Port Royal. In the war now waging against the Government in this most causeless and unnatural rebellion that ever afflicted a country, high hopes have been indulged in the navy, and great confidence reposed in its efforts. The result of the skill and bravery of yourself and others, has equalled

Doc. 167. extortioners and the remedy. The Vicksburg (Miss.) Sun of Nov. 16, contains the following on this subject: We have been much flattered by the encomiums of many of our oldest citizens who have called upon us, and who have most cordially approved our leader of yesterday. We propose to state one or two new facts that have recently come to our knowledge, and to propose what we conceive to be a remedy against the Lincolnite extortioners of Vicksburg. We are informed that large quantities of flour are stored in this city, and that the holders say they will not sell until they can get twenty dollars per barrel. Comment on these fellows' principles is unnecessary. Desperate measures require desperate remedies, and we hope that the flour will be taken, the men paid a fair market valuation for it, and receive a strong hint to leave the country for their country's good. Other extortioners, whose names are furnished us, and which we shall probably publish for the scorn a

Doc. 168. Buckingham's appeal. Headquarters Ohio Militia, Adjutant-Gen's office, Columbus, November 16. To the County Military Committees: The time has come when the army of Ohio must be completed. Our gallant navy, which has never yet disappointed the nation, has established a base of operations upon the shores of South Carolina. Another will be established on the gulf. Loyal men of Eastern Tennessee invite us to the heart of the rebel confederacy. The Union men of the South are throwing off the fetters of a tyranny which bound them. North Carolina having yielded to force, is anxious to return to her allegiance. Friends everywhere will welcome those who come as their deliverers from despotism. The day of terrorism is drawing to a close, and the movement of revulsion has commenced. It needs but the vigorous prosecution of movements already inaugurated to bring it to a happy conclusion, and all the signs promise a brighter to-morrow. Now is the time to strike. T

Doc. 169. General Patterson's defence. The First Troop of Philadelphia (Pa.) City Cavalry dined together on Saturday, November 16th, at the Continental Hotel, to commemorate their foundation in 1775. Captain James presided, and Dr. Goddard, as Surgeon of the Troop, acted as vice-president. Among the guests were Major-Generals Patterson and Cadwalader. The dinner was altogether a delightful one. When the cloth was removed, the health of Major-General Patterson was proposed by Lieutenant A. K. Arnold, attached to the United States Cavalry, who was with the General during the whole campaign on the Potomac, and in response to an enthusiastic call, he made a speech. He returned thanks for the compliment paid him, and for the manner in which it had been received. He said that he was not in the habit of giving reasons for any thing he did or did not do, but in the presence of men of so much intelligence as the members of the First City Troop, a part of his command in the short cam

uly swear that I sailed from the said city of New York, on the 20th day of September last, as master of, and in, the ship Harvey Birch, of New York, a ship owned and registered in New York, in conformity with the laws of the United States, bound for the port of Havre de Grace, in France, with a cargo consisting of wheat.
