f the lawless act. This conduct stands out in marked contrast with the revolutionary proceedings elsewhere. Secretary Toucey has received the following dispatch from Flag-officer Armstrong, commanding Pensacola Navy-Yard: "Armed bodies of Florida and Alabama troops appeared before the gate of the Navy-Yard and demanded possession. Having no means of resistance, I surrendered and hauled down my flag. They are now in possession." Capt. Farran, Commander in the Yard, has notified the Department of his resignation. A dispatch to the Florida Senator says: "We repaired down here and captured Fort Barrancas and Navy-Yard, and then paroled the officers, granting them permission to continue to occupy their quarters. We are now in possession. This move was in consequence of the Government garrisoning Fort Pickens, which has before remained unoccupied. You will propose to the Administration resuming the statu quo anti bellum, and we will immediately evacuate."

Southern Affairs. We compile from late Southern exchanges the following news summary: Latest from Pensacola. We find the following interesting telegraphic dispatches in the Mobile Register and Advertiser: Fort Barrancas, Nov. 26th--Night. --No intimation from the enemy of a renewal of the fire upon our works. Our men are at their guns, ready and eager for the fight. There was no arrival in the fleet to-day. It is now composed of four men-of-war, which are lying near Pickens, to the eastward.

Barrancas, Nov. 27th.--Night. --Gen. Bragg has determined not to allow any more Federal transports to land stores or troops at Fort Pickens or Santa Rosa, within range of his guns. A large transport steamer and a bark arrived in the outing this evening. Gen. Bragg

Interesting particulars of the last bombardment at Warrenten. The Mobile Evening News publishes an interesting letter from Fort Barrancas, dated January 2, from which we gather the following particulars of the late fight which took place at Pensacola: A few days ago permission was granted the little propeller Cushman, vulgarly known as the "Shorter," to trade between the Navy-Yard and Pensacola. She started yesterday on her first trip, and about 2 ½ o'clock P. M. made fast to the Cee Island. The order was promptly executed by the batteries of Capts. West, Bachelor, Wheat, Taylor, and Lieut. Mader of the Louisiana Infantry; by Capts. Baker, Posey, and the entire line of batteries of the First Alabama Regiment, including Fort Barrancas; and by the guns of the Thirty-sixth Georgia and Mississippi regiments, reaching beyond and embracing Fort McRae. The fire from these guns was almost deafening, and far excelling in rapidity that of the action of the 22d November. The Y

long campaign of Pensacola — of its history you are sufficiently familiar. The order for the destruction of the Warrington Navy-Yard, and all public property at that place and Pensacola that could not be moved, was successfully carried into execution, and the roughly executed at the Yard and Pensacola. About 11½ o'clock the signal being given be Brig. Gen. Thomas Jones, in an instant the touch was applied at every point, and in a few minutes the wood work, gun — carriages, etc, in Forts Barrancas and Mekae and the Hospitals, together with all the other buildings in the Navy-Yard proper, in the vorlages of Wolsey and Warrington, were in flames. At the same instant the torch was applied to the oil factory and all the Government buildings in the city of Pensacola, also to the steamers at the wharf. The scene was grand, thrilling, and sublime. The whole boy was as light as mid-day, while the murky clouds overhead reflected back an apparently liquid sea of fire. Fort Pickens coul

One of them was wounded in the arm. They were sent to Mobile. Nobody hart on our side. At Fort Barrancas there are six guns mounted and pointed landward.

The Daily Dispatch: September 24, 1863., [Electronic resource], Capture of Confederate pickets. (search)
Capture of Confederate pickets. --It has been the custom of the pickets of both sides to respect the Spanish Consul's Office at Pensacola, Fla., as neutral ground, where both could meet upon terms of peace and hold free conversation. A few days since eight of our pickets, including two officers, visited the Consul's office, and were joined by the Consul and two Yankee naval officers. While the parties were engaged in conversation, a force of about thirty Yankees surrounded the office and claimed our pickets as prisoners, and marched them off to Fort Barrancas, against the protest of the naval officers, who charged their friends with mean cowardice, who would not have dared to face the eight pickets in the woods. All this talk, however, had no effect to save them; they were held as prisoners and sent to the fort. This is but another evidence of the double- distilled meanness of the Yankees.
