The Savannah Daily Herald. SUNDAY. APRIL X 6, 186*. 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. RELIGIOUS NOTICE. Chaplain B. F.
