FROM OUR EVENING EDITION
OF YESTERDAY.
THE CELEBRATION AT FORT
SINTER.
tof partaro of th** with fifneral Andur
son and other Officials from A'ew Aork.
[From the New Y ork Herald, April 9.]
The government transport Arago, Captain
Gadsden, sailed from the loot of Beach
street at noon yesterday for Fort Sumter, to
ldise the old flag once more over that histor
ical tort. The vessel selected is a magmficent
paddle wheel steame r of large dimensions.
At ten o’clock those invited to assist in the
celebration began to coma on board, and
sixty-one were on deck when the anchor was
weighed. A Post Otiice van, decorated
with Hags, drove down to the pier between
eleven and twelve o’clock, amidst the cheers
of the crowd. On the van was the original
Fort Sumter mail bag, addressed “Major
A tide: son, Fort Sumter, April 14, 1865,” and 1
also the old Fort Sumter flag, enclosed in a
box and placed in charge of Sergeant
whose name is indelibly associated the
defence of the lort. Hart was the man who
lowered the flag when the fort Was evacuat
ed. and he is to raise it again Ot a given sig
nal on Good Friday next. For the last four
years the flag has beeo in the vaults under
the Bank of Commerce. Mr. Knapp, Super
intendent of the Post Office, and Messrs.
Parcel's and lonian, clerks, were in charge
of the v.iti ruin its valuable relies.
General Anderson, the hero of Sumter, with
his lady, sou and three daughters, went early
on boerd, and was the cynosure of all eyes
ou the crowded wharf as lie chatted a tew
moments with friends near him. “There
goes General Anderson,” was uttered all
around as the General proceeded up the
gangway to the deck. General Dix and Miss
Dix followed immediately after. As soon as
the General appeared more than one in the
crowd repeated the patriotic words, of the
veteran : —“lf any man attempts to haul
down the American flag shoot him ou the
spot.”
The carnages now rolled rapidly up, and
in a short time there were congregated on
the wharf Henry Ward Beecher, Governor
Thompson, Lloyd Garrison, Theodore Til
ton, Senator Wilson and many other nota
bles.
Brigadier General Van Vilet, Chief Quar
termaster, was early on board the Arago,
and remained till a few moments before the
lines were cast loose and the vessel steamed
from her moorings. The duty of locating
the passengers devolved upon him; and in
the face ot the usual difficulties, where each
had some persoual preferences to advance
for special consideration, it must be said that
the General displayed inexhaustable urbani
ty, and finally discharged his delicate duties
to the satisfaction of all on board. Nearly
two hundred invitations were issued, and
thirty-one refusals were received.
The remainder of the guests, with the
members of the Cabinet, are expected to
come on board at Fortress Monroe. Punc
tually at twelve o’clock the steamer moves
off, the glowing sunlight giving promise of a
glorious trip. There is no doijjH that, with
good weather, the party, assured of the most
courteous and gentlemanly treatment at the
hands of Captain Gadsden, and the comforts
of a splendidly supplied ship, will have a
pleasant voyage to the end.
Daring Burglary—Arrest of one of the !
Offenders. —Last night between nine and 1
ten o’clock, one of the most daring acts of 1
burglary ever known in this city was com- 1
tnitted upon the store of Hamill & Co.,north- |
east corner of Congress and Jefferson streets. ,
George Marshall, a colored man resident in
Savannah, was observed, in connection with
other colored men, wrenching off the iron
hasp on the Congress street entrance of
Messrs. Hamill & Cos.; the “jimmy” first
made use of was a piece of half-inch round
iron, but this not serving the purpose ii -
tended, Mai shall proceeded into St. Julian
street and tore up a portion of. the platform
in front of Mrs. Mcl*tire's store. With his
new “jimmy,” a piece of board one inch
thick, four inches wide, and two feet and a
half long, he returned to the store, and by
main force succeeded in wrenching off the
iron hasp which was confined with a pad
lock ; Marshall having two keys, one of them
fitting the door-lock of the Congress st. door,
then unlocked it and entered the store.
Messrs. A. Peryser, J. Marks and I. David
son, citizens, surrounded the store, and the
Police arriving, secured Marshall. His ac
complices fled. This offender is a noted
gambler, and horse-racer, and it is to be hoped
for the good of our city, that his assistants
may be arrested and the whole of them sent
to Sing Sing, the Dry Tortugas or some other
congenial place for such criminals.
When Marshall was anested, he covered
his head with a wooden bucket to protect it
from the batons of the Police.
At the office of the Chief of Police he was
sullen and defiant in his raarner and look.
A New Photographer in Savannah. —We
have before us some line photographic views
of the ruins of Fort Sumter and the city of
Charleston, takeu by Mr. Isaac Beckett, of
this city. The view ot Fort Sumter is taken
from a sand bar which is under water 20
hours out of the 24, and presents the south
west face, fronting Morris Island. It is a
striking and most interesting picture. The
picture of Charleston includes a view’ of the
burnt district, and the neighboring portion
of the city takeu from the Mills House, and
is an accurate and beautiful work.
Mr. Beckett is about to opeu a photogra
phic gallery in Savannah, and as he is a thor
ough workman, and an accomplished artist,
we bespeak *for him a large share of the
patrotmgt of Ohr public.
MOBILE.
OLD SPANISH FORT.
Our last intelligence from Mobile previous
to the news received yesterday announcing
the fall of that city, was to the effect that a
vigorous investment of Old Spanish Fort
was in progress. From the New York Herald
: of the 9th inst., we gather the following de
rails of operations prior to the capture. Un
der date of March 29, the Herald’s corres
pondent says ;
Our forces are gradually approaching
I Spanish Fort They are now’ intrenched
within a distance of seventy yards of the
enemy s rifle pits. Our loss in killed and
wounded will average about one hundred
and fifty per day. The loss in officers has
been very small in proportion. I have not
heard of one being killed, and but some eight
or ten wounded.
The third brigade of the. Third division of
the Sixteenth army covps yesterday cut off
three hundred of the enemy on the extreme
right, hut were Doable to capture them, as
the rebels took Tefuge in a swamp.
The Eighty-first Illinois, of this brigade,
commands a rebel pontoon bridge on the ex
treme rj£ht, but at last accounts had been
unabl'j to capture it, on account of the
swemp.
March 30, 1865.
A SIGHT ATTACK —THE RRBELS REPULSED.
About two o’clock this morning three com
panies of the Seventh Vermont, one com
pany from the Ninety-first Illinois and one
company from the Fiftieth Indiana were sent
out for the purpose of relieving the advance
line of skirmishers in front of Gen. Veach’s
division. In the darkness they lost their
way, and came upon the enemy's pickets,
who fired a volley. This was promptly an
swered by our men, when the enemy com
menced a brisk musketry fire along the
whole line, and, believing probably that our
forces were making an assault, rushed forth
from the rifle pits, drove in our workiug par
ties and skirmishers, and in some cases ad
vanced to our very rifle pits.
In front of Gen. Veach’s division Qur men
clubbed their muskets over the rifle pits to
drive the enemy back, and the whole divi
sion advancing in line of battle at that mo
ment soon drove the enemy into his works.
The rebels were repulsed along our entire
line, and must have suffered heavily.
The enemy then commenced firing artil
lery from the fort, and our batteries replied.
The duel was kept up until nearly daylight,
when the firing gradually subsided.
THE enemy's GUNBOATS ON OUR RIGHT.
On the extreme right the enemy’s guuboats
and transports are within musket range ot
our troops. We have built an earthwork
within one hundred and seventy-five yards
of the fort for the purpose of mounting siege
guns. The guns have arrived, aud in the
morning it is expected that they will open on
the enemy’s gunboats and transports. As in
the case of the pontoons aud the three bun
dled rebels that ate cut off, we have been
unable up to the time to interfere with the
movements of the enemy’s vessels on account
of swamps.
BRIGADIER-GENERAL BAILEY AT WORK AGAIN.
General Bailey, of Red River dam noto
riety, is a very hard-working man. He is
building a substantial wharf at Stark’s Land
ing, and has already three or four pontoon
wharves running from the shore from seven
ty-five to one hundred yards into the bay.
March 31, 1865.
THE HEAVIEST FIRING DURING THE. SIEGE.
The firing at Spanish Fort was distinctly
heard at Dauphine Island to-day. It com
menced early in the morning and continued
until sundown. It was by far the heaviest
aud most rapid of the siege. There is no
doubt that our monitors, mortars, and siege
guns are in position aud have opened upon
Spanish Fort. No additional particulars
were received of the result up to the time of
the steamer’s departure for New Orleans.
A WOUNDED REBEL’S STATEMENT.
The following important news I learn from
a wounded rebel sergeant of the Forty-sec
ond Alabama regiment. He belonged to a
company of volunteers at Selma. This and
several other companies were raised for the
purpose of doing provost duty, and were ex
empt from conscription; but no sooner had
the companies become filled thau they w’ere
consolidated iuto a regiment, which was call
ed the Forty-second Alabama. He satd that
on-Friday last French’s division and Thom
as’ brigade arrived at Spanish Fort from Mo
bile, for the purpose of reinforcing the garri
son there. Holsclaw’s aud Gibson s brigades
were in the post previous to their arrival,
and from these commands were furnished
the troops which skirmished with our ad
vance from Fish river. The entire force of
rebels in the three forts probably does not
exceed four thousand men. Their artillery,
as shown up to this time, does not exceed
twenty guns. A mustpring officer recently
arrived at Mobile for the purpose of muster
ing volunteers and citizens over eighteen
years of age iuto the regular army of the
“Confederacy,” and the various companies
of the provost guard were at once mustered
in as a regiment.
NAVAL OPERATIONS. TIIE LOSS OF THE TWO
MONITORS.
Os the naval operations undertaken in co
operation with those of the land forces, and
the disaster involving the loss of two of the
best monitors in Mobile Bay, the same cor
respondent gives some interesting details:
THE MONITORS IN LINE OF BATTLE.
Heretofore our monitors had not advanced
over Blakely river bar, as it was considered
very dangerous to cross, partly owing to the
low state of the w’ater thereon and of the
number of torpedoes with which that por
tion of the Bay was filled.
On Monday, when the army of General
Canby advanced on Spanish Fort by laud,
the monitors Winebago, Kickapoo, Chicka
saw, Milwaukee and Osage, with the double
ender Octorara, succeeded in crossing Blake
ley river bar in safety, and formed in line of
battle immediately beyond. The intention,
undoubtedly, was to invest Spanish Fort and
its extensive line of works by water as well
as by land, cut off all communication from
Mobile, and prevent the rebels from either
reinforcing or transporting supplies, and
finally capture the entire garrison.
Our seamen glanced with pride along the
formidable line of iron-clads on Monday af
ternoon, believing that nearly half their work
was accomplished by crossing the bar; but,
alas, scarcely foity-eight hours had elapsed
before two of our best monitors were blown
up by torpedoes and lay almost useless at
j the bottom of the Bay. The remainder, if
they advanced, were' in danger of sharing
the same fate.
THE SINKING OF THE MILWAUKEE.
On Tuesday afternoon the Wlnebago and
Milwaukee weighed anchor and steamed in
the direction of Spanish Fort for the purpose
of shelling out a rebel transport which was
supposed to be laden with troops and sup
plies for the garrison there. The transport
left after the first two or three shells were
fired.
The water battery opposite Spanish Fort
then opened sites on the monitors, and though
they were two miles distant, one gun, sup
posed to be a Whitworth, threw shell far be
yond them.
Wbe Winebago and Milwaukee were order
ed to return to their positions in line of bat
tle, and from one of the officers of the for
mer vessel, I learn that the Milwaukee struck
a torpedo in backing, and that at a quarter
past five o’clock she slowly settled to the bot
tom, sinking by the stern.
From another naval officer I learn that
Captain Gillis, of the Milwaukee, asked per
mission to shell the battery, which was im
mediately granted. After firing about a
dozou shots, Captain Gillis requested per
mission to anchor and silcuce the fort. This
request the Admiral refused, aud ordered the
Milwaukee to return to the fleet, when, in
backing into line, she struck a torpedo and
sunk. One man was injured by the explo
sion. The officers and crew were rescued
without difficulty by the boats of the other
vessels, which instantly came alongside. As
she sunk in only ten feet of water, the crew
were enabled to reach her deck aud remain
in perfect safety until taken off. The explo
sion of the torpedo, I learn, was not heard a
great distance,-and but for the spray, the
splashing of the water, and the heaving and
settling of the monitor, many who were look
ing at. her at the time would not have known
what bad taken place.
SINKING OF THE OSAGE.
The weather on Wednesday afternoon was
glorious. The loss of the Milwaukee, through
the devilish ingenuity of rebel torpedo plant
ing, was a terrible trial to the hearts of our
gallant officers aud seamen ou board the other
Monitors ; but they only waited for orders to
advance and engage the enemy, and ou re
ceiving them would no doubt as boldly have
left the line for that purpose as their unfortu
nate predecessor had done twenty hours pre
vious. The Chickasaw, Kickapoo, Winne
bago, the sunken Monitor and the Octorara
were in fine, the Osage being at anchor a
short distance astern. Fearing that the lat
ter might foul with the others, the Osage get
under weigh, for the purpose of steaming
ahead and anchoring near the east shore on
the edge of the channel. As she was prepar
ing to cast anchor she struck and exploded a
torpedo on the starboard bow, which injured
her so seriously that she almost instantly
sunk. When the explosion took place John
Tonaut, captain of the forecastle, and Wil
liam Boyson, chief boatswain's mate, were
standing by the anchor to “let go.” They,
With the anchor, were blown thirty feet iu
the air. Both men were killed.
During the confusion consequent upon the
disaster, a report spread that six men were
killed, ten or twelve wounded aud all the
firemen missing. It was soon discovered,
however, that only four men were killed and
six wounded. The names of two of the kill
ed I have already given you; the others were
Lewis Dewall, master-at-arms ot the lower
deek, and William Pager. The names of the
injured I could not learn.
A REBEL SALCTE IN HONOR OF THE DISASTER
RESCUE OF THE CREW OF THE OSAGE.
The Osage had scarcely reached the bot
tom of the bay before the rebel batteries of
Spanish Fort—those on each side of the bay
—and the guns of the Nashville, were thun
dering forth a salute in honor of the disaster.
When the Milwaukee sunk the fleet heard
cheering in the direction of Spanish Fort;
but when the Osage went down the enemy
saluted as if for a great victory.
As in the case of the Tecumseh and Mil
waukee, the force of the explosion suddenly
raised the Osage, and when she reached the
water she filled rapidly and soon sunk to the
bottom of the bay. Her turret, pilot-house
and smoke-stack alone remain visible.
Though sbe sank in about the same depth of
water as the Milwaukee, she has the appear
ance of being submerged two feet deeper.
This is owing to her being lower than the
Milwaukee and of a different style of iron
clad, the Milwaukee resembling the original
Monitor, though much larger, and having
two turrets, while the Osage is a Mississippi
“turtle back.”
The news of the loss of this valuable iron
clad spread like wildfire through the fleet,
aud in a few moments her officers and crew
were rescued.
The officers of both vessels lost nearly all
their clothing. They say that they are ready
to take another Monitor and advance on
Spanish Fort or any other of the enemy’s
forts on the bay.
John Y. Beall.— An English paper states
that Capt. John Yates Beall, who was hang
ed as a spy in the rebel rervice, on Govern
or’s Island, New York, on the 34th of Feb
ruary, was, on his father’s side,, descended
from Rob Roy, whose history is familiar to
the readers of Sir Walter Scott’s novels; on
his mother’s side he claimed direct descent
from the great border chieftain, “Belted
Will.” Beall was at first intended for the
bar, and received a liberal education; but
owing to the death of his father, he never
entered into the practice ot that profession.
Two bachelors were recently returning
home on a starlight evening, when a number
of young ladies were coming in the opposite
direction. As the two parties approached
each other, one of the young ladies, innocent
ly looking up, remarked “See, there’s the
Great Bear.” The young lady might have
been studying astronomy, but one of the
bachelors did not seem to be aware of the
fact, for he ejaculated, “Confound it! Which
of us does she mean ?”
, The managers of the New York Inebriate
Asylum have concluded after trial, that they
can’t cure a drunkard in less than a year.
