the dead. On June 3, 1864, the Water Witch, Commander Pendergrast, blockading in Ossabaw Sound, was boarded and captured, only one man (a contraband) escaping. Seven cotton barges, carrying 150 men, approached the vessel, the night being dark and squally; they were, in fact, alongside almost as soon as discovered, and although boarding nettings were up, the vessel soon became a prize. The Water Witch lost 1 man killed, 13 wounded, and 2 missing. The Confederates lost their leader, Lieutenant Pelot of their navy, 8 or 10 killed, and 15 or 20 wounded. Toward the middle of June Admiral Dahlgren received information from the Navy Department that the enemy meditated a simultaneous movement on the blockade, inside and out, in order to cover the exit of a large quantity of cotton. This led to some strategic movements on the part of the army along the Stono River, aided by a naval force in those waters. These operations were concluded on the 9th of July, after which General Foster

, styled the "Cherokee Pond Volunteers," numbered eighty-two men, nearly all of them young fathers, eager for service. They were commanded by Captain Meriwether, and Lieutenants A. P. Butler and D. L. Shaw. The Palmetto Guards, as well as a portion of the Irish Volunteers, were also out on duty during the night. The Lafayette Artillery and the German Artillery returned to the city yesterday from Fort Moultrie, making quite a handsome display as they passed through the streets. Lieut. Pelot, of the Navy, has arrived in this city and tendered his services to the Governor, which have been accepted. Thus another son of South Carolina has nobly responded to the call of patriotism.

The Savannah News of yesterday gives us the following interesting particulars with regard to Fort Pulaski: As against assault from the water, it is defended by an ample number of thirty-two-pounders, much better mounted, and in a much higher state of efficiency, than any o

A Yankee steamer captured. Savannah, June 3. --The Yankee steamer Water Witch was boarded and captured, with her entire crew, after a desperate fight, early this morning, by a detachment from the Savannah squadron. Lieut. Pelot, who led our men, was killed, together with the pilot and a few others. The Water Witch was a somewhat distinguished craft in the old navy. She figured some years before the war in the Paraguay expedition in South America. She must be a pretty substantial vessel, and her capture is a brilliant affair. The enemy have been repulsed at Baldwin, Florida.

Our men heeded it not but pressed forward, reached the deck and clambered over the netting, some six feet in height, all the while fighting desperately, hand to hand, with the enemy. Lieut Pelot was the first man on board, and received a shot through the heart soon after reaching the deck and whilst dealing blows thick and heavy all around him. The command then devolved on Lt. Price, who had received a severe sabre cut on the head, buknow the result. The Water Witch is a flue side wheel steamer, is fully equipped, and provided with every convenience. A letter from battery Deauliere gives a list of the losses in the expedition: I deeply regret to state that Lieut Pelot, W. R. Jones, Jas Stapleton, ordinary seamen; --Crosby, landsman; Patrick Lottle, quarter gunner, and Moses, colored pilot of the expedition, were killed, the first named shot through the heart.
