Mickler and a detachment of his company (11th regiment S. C. V.,) on last Thursday night, resulted in surprising and capturing a detachment of pickets and signal corps men at the Spanish Wells Observatory, on Hilton Head Island, a few hundred yards from a regiment of infantry, and within sound of the long roll at General Hunter's headquarters. By examining a map of the locality it will be observed that Hilton Head Island is separated from the main land by wide water courses, navigable for gunboats of all classes, which tenders all approach to it difficult, if not dangerous, except to men who can pull an oar lustily as well as handle the rifle with deadly

My reading of Northern papers leads me to believe that the mass of the Northern people are indisposed to let the South go without other attempts to subdue it. The Democrats are only conditional peace men. John Van Baren advocates the conquest of the South first, and then if she is not willing to continue in the Union he is willing to say, "wayward sisters, part in peace." The peace men, like Vallandigham, Cox, and Seymour of Connecticut, call for a cessation of hostilities in order to bring about "reconstruction" it is evident that further defeats; more depredations on their commerce, an active financial panic, and practical foreign intervention must ensue, before the Yankees can abandon the hope of forcing back the El Dorado, from which they have drawn so much of their former prosperity.

It would sunder their connection with their Indian allies, extinguish their hopes of expansion in the West, and by reducing the area of the rebellion render its subjugation a more manageable problem. The military wisdom at Washington resembles the Divine wisdom in this — that it is "past finding out." Success at Vicksburg is, and has been all through this winter's operations, a problem of engineering. And yet the Government keeps the best engineer in the army all winter in this city
