from Thomas Diileshaw, a member of Compa
ny “ H,” 3d Georgia Regiment, to his brother,
John W. Diileshaw, one of the gentlemen em
ployed in our office.
Camp Georgia, Roanoke Island, N. C.,)
October 7th, 1861. j
Dear Brother: We have been here for over
a month, working like Trojans. Our little Is
land is well fortified, and we are ready for the
Yankees.
Day before yesterday, the whole of the Geor
gia, and a part of the Eighth North Carolina
liegiments, went down to Chiciramacomack to
try our hand with the Yankees who had landed
there. We embarked in five steamers, had two
small field pieces, and guns aboard. When we
arrived we gave them a few bombs from our
vessels to interest them till we could land some
of our troops. But alas ! alas ! they did not
stand a moment, butcutoutlikequarter-horses
dow i the Island towards Hatteras. We landed
200 Georgians and put out full tilt after them.
The remainder of the Georgians were after
wards landed, and the North Carolinians were
sent lower down to head them, but could not
land at all,
I never witnessed such a scene as I did when
we first came to land. We had but one *'lighter”
and it was large enough to carry only one of
our field pieces and her crew. We needed noth
ing else, however ; for the boys leaped into the
sound (about four feet deep) like coon dogs.—
They were ahead of the music, and could
scarcely be held back by the Colonel, who
drew his pistol and declared he would shoot
the first man who went on shore until he or
dered them to do so.
The Young Guard (from Covington, Geo.,)
were in the lead, and were the first to plant
the Confederate Flag on the Island. When
they got on lend, they put out like blood-hounds
after the enemy; and such a chase was scarce
ly ever recorded. We chased them 30 miles,
and returned to the place of landing in a day
and a half—all the while going through mud
and sand. They had two hours the start of us,
and we-caught only 32 of them.
Our Colonel made a narrow escape. He ran
upon eleven Yankees who fired upon him. His
horse was killed from under him. He took
four of them prisoners, and the rest of them
escaped.
Some of our boys were shot at, but none were
hurt. In the race, some of us passed through
mud and water up to the waist, and we did not
take time to eat.
The xankees left their tents, provisions and
a large portion of their clothing, and much
they started with was thrown away and strewn
. long the route. A great many threw down
their guns and even pulled oft’ and cast away
their shoes.
Some of our boys were overcome of fatigue,
and one died from it. His name was Smith,
and belonged to the “ Governor’s Guards.”
We killed only five or six of them.
After we had ceased the chase and were re
turning to our landing an old Yankee steamer
came up on the opposite side of the Island
from our vessels and commenced scattering
their bombs and grape among us. They rain
ed them down all around till they had shot
170 times. We all escaped unhurt, and got
aboard. Not one of our men was killed, and
only two were struck, which did not hurt.
The prisoners we took were started to Nor
folk this morning. Your brother,
TOM.

Reform Needed.
Messrs. Editors: An important election, for
President, Vice-President and members of
Congress, is near. Allow me to call the par
ticular attention of the proper authorities to
the necessity ol providing better accommoda
tions at the polls than have heretofore been
met with at the City Hall.
\ oting through that high window—three feet
above a man’s head—is not only inconven
ient, but ridiculous. If it must be continued,
1 suggest that the managers provide a ladder,
so that all may climb U p to deposit their tick
ets.
Why not let the managers take their seat
on the bench in the Court room?
This is the practice at all other Court House
precincts throughout Georgia. There is not a
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Justices’Court in the State that does not af
ford greater facilities to the citizen everyway,
than is afforded our people at the City Hall,
in exercising the highest prerogative of free
men. It is a grievance, and the corrective
ought to be applied immmediately, without
delay.
Another thing: There is too much jam
around that tall window. I know of several
cases where men failed to vote for Governor,
because they had no chance to do so. They
went to the polls having but a limited time to
stay, but could not, in that time, make their
way up to the window. They retired without
an opportunity to exercise this most sacred of
all rights,
Atlanta should have one precinct in tach
Ward; and if any legislation is necessary, let
our Senator and Representatives, at the next
session of the Legislature, see that a proper
act is passed.
What say you, Messrs. Editors of the Con
federacy, Intelligencer, Commonwealth, Cru
sader, Banner A Baptist, and citizens all ?
Speak out and let us have a remedy for this
sore evil. REFORM.
We say amen to the suggestions of our cor
xespondent. Let the reform be adopted as
soon as possible.—Eds. Confederacy.
THE NAVAL VICTORY
AT
NEW ORLEANS.
The Delta of the 13th inst., in speaking of
the preparations for the late engagement, and
the size of our little fleet, <tc., says :
The design, as we have understood, belongs
solely to Commodore Hollins, who determined
as soon as he came to take command of the
naval department at New Orleans, that the
enemy should learn that we were not entirely
asleep, and he displayed tremendous energy
in getting everything ready for his attack
Such general preparations could not be con
ducted in seeresy, and hence the subject was
tolerably well known a week ago, and for the
past three days has been the engrossing theme
of conversation on the streets. Nevertheless,
such rigid measures were taken to prevent
the news being communicated to the enemy,
that we believe they have been completely
surprised at the demonstration.
The vessels got together by Commodore
Hollins for this purpose, were as follows:
Gunboat Mcßae, Captain Huger, carrying
six heavy rifled cannon and two howitzers.
She was formerly the steamer Marquis de la
Habana, and is considered a very ordinary
craft.
Gunboat Ivy, Capt. Fry, carrying a Colum
biad forward and a rifled gun aft. She was
formerly a towboat.
Gunboat Calhoun, Commodore Hollins, the
flag ship, carrying two heavy guns. She is
well known as having done profitable work
as a privateer steamer at the commencement
of the war.
Gunboat Tuscarora, Lieut. Beverly Kennon,
carrying an 8 inch Columbiad forward and a
rifled 32-pounder aft. She was a towboat, and
her conversion into a war vessel was the quick
est j>b ever known in the Algiers yards. She
was taken into dock last Monday, razeed to a
flush deck, strengthened and armed, and came
out ready for service on Wednesday.
Gunboat Jackson, carrying two long range
guns. This boat is well known as the old tow
boat Yankee, and she may illustrate the idea
of getting frisky in her old age.
The Manassas, alias the Turtle, alias Non
descript, alias Gyascutis, with a steel prow,
and one 9-inch columbiad in the bow, com
manded by Capt. Stevenson—the affair about
which we obtained all our information from
the Northern papers.
The Cutter Pickens, Capt. Brushwood, car
rying one 8 inch columbiad, and four 24
pounder carronades.
Besides these war vessels, there were six
“fire ships” prepared. They were old coal
boats, loaded with fatty pine, tar and rosin,
braced apart from each other by timbers, and
secured together by a chain cable, making a
width of about half the distance between the
two shores of the river.
The plan was to shove these down the
stream by the tug boat R. & J. Watson, and
as soon as they neared the fleet to fire them
and then drive them against the enemy’s
ships, which would ba the signal for a general
attack by our gun boats. It was supposable
that the glare of the burning flats would re
lieve the Lincoln vessels from the darkness of
the night, and leave our boats enveloped in
gloom, if it did nothing else. The success of
this portion of the programme depended upon
the degree of nearness the flats could gain the
enemy bafore being discovered.
The attack was to have been made Wednes
day night but for a slight accident happening
to the machinery of the Manassas, which
caused her to put back. It was then fixed for
the next night, but the dense fog prevented it,
and it finally took place yesterday, as else
where reported.
The enemy’s vessels at the head of the Pas
ses represented a force of about seventy hea
vy guns and nearly a thousand men. Our
little mosquito fleet carried sixteen effective
guns and about three hundred men. Such a
disparity of force as this in favor of the fleet
attacked has never been known in the naval
history of modern times.
Particulars of the Engagement*
Arrival of Com. Hollins.
At midnight last night, the steamer Calhoun
arrived at the wharf, foot of Bienville street,
having on board Com. Hollins. A dispatch to
announce her arrival had been received from
the fort, but few persons saw it, as it was not
published. Nevertheless a considerable crowd
collected on the wharf about nine o’clock, and
waited a couple of hours; but when the Cal
houn finally arrived, there were not more than
two dozen people present. These, however,
sent up a hearty shout for the hero of the na
val victory.
Com. Hollins went ashore immediately, and
drove off to his home. He was excessively
fatigued and worn out, and unable to furnish
any details of the remarkable combat he had
planned and executed ; but, from a gentleman
who was all through the fight, we obtained the
following particulars:
The expedition started down the river from
the forts at an early hour Saturday morning,
the fireboats ahead, and the gunboats follow
ing. But the span of fire boats could not be
controlled by the tug that was attempting to
to guide it, and very soon it commenced to
slew round, and then, despite every effort it
ran into the river bank.
The plan of firing the fleet was immediate
ly abandoned by Com. Hollins, on the occur
rence of this accident and he proceeded down
the river with the gunboats, for the pnrposeof
making a legitimate attack upon them.
The vessels of the enemy found lying at the
head of the passes, were the steam frigate
Richmond, the sailing sloop of war Vincennes
the sailing sloop of-war Preble, and the steam
gun-boat Water Witch.
Theywere taken completely by surprise, and
had not the steamers had steam up at the time,
perhaps none of them would have escaped.—
As it was, their firing, manreuvres, and gener
al conduct showed that they were thunder
struck and frightened.
The Manassas led the way of our little fleet,
and steering straight for one of the sloops-of
war, ran right into her. The force of the con
cussion was tremendous; so much so as to
put the machinery of the Manassas out of
gear, and render her perfectly useless, floating
about in an unmanagable condition on the wa
ter.
But the enemy were very quick in making
their arrangements to move, and the two
steamers each took one of the sloops of war in
tow, and started down the river, making the
best speed of which they were capable.
They defended their retreat with every gun
they could bring to bear upon their pursuers,
but their aim was wild, and showed that the
gunners were terribly alarmed.
The Mcßae, Ivey and Tuscarora led our
fleet, and were the boats that kept up the fire
on the retreating vessels, and drove them down
the stream. The other vessels of our fleetfo'-
lowed on down as well as they could.
The enemy’s vessels took the South-West
pass for their avenue of escape, but some of
them got aground on the bar there. The boats
of our fleet then came up with them about 9
o’clock A. M., and firing now commenced in
earnest. It being daylight, they discovered
the weakness of our fleet, and they managed
their guns in a far abler manner.
For over an hour the duel was kept up, but
at the end of that time, Com. Hollins signalled
our noats to withdraw from so unequal a con
test, in which nothing more was to be gained.
At the time of leaving, they were taking the
men off the sloop of-war that had been run
into by the Manassas, and she was settling in
the water in a significant manner, so that
there can be no doubt of her foundering and
total loss. Our informant believes that this
vessel was the Vincennes, and not the Preble,
as reported by Com. Hollins.
Our little fleet returned up river and
captured the cutter of the steam frigate Rich
mond, which was full of cutlasses. What be
came of the men who had thrown down their
cutlasses in such a hasty manner and aban
doned their boat, is not known
Returning to the head < f the passes, a de
tachment of men werelandid, who set fire to
all the lumber the enemy had put ashore there,
after bringing it such a distance and at such
great cost, and it was totally consumed. The
Manassas was then taken in tow, and all of
the boats returned to the forts.
Not oneof our boats are injurrd in theslight
est manner, except the slight disarrangement
of the machinery in the Manassas, but are
quite ready to repeat the affair, should the en
emy give them a chance. Not a single man
on any of our boats was hurt in the least. It
is believed that all of the enemy’s vessels are
somewhat injured, and that there must have
been many casualties among their crews, but
of this nothing can be known as yet.—„V. O

A Vidocq in Petticoats.
REMARKABLE EXPLOITS OF A WOMAN SHE
CONSTITUTES HERSELF A POLICE DETEC
TIVE AND ENTRAPS SEVERAL CITIZENS
ALLEGED EXISTENCE OF A SECRET ABO
LITION SOCIETY.
A very important case came up before the
mayor yesterday, the details of which are so
strange and peculiar they cast into the shade
everything that romancers have ever written
of the wonders of the detective police. It
brought to light the exploits of Madame
Boyer, of this city, who has been acting the
mouchard in our community for nearly a
month, upon her own responsibility.
The ends of justice require that we should
omit a great many interesting and important
facts, but we are at liberty to furnish sufficient
informat ton to make it one of the richest epi
sodes of real life that has ever come to public
knowledge in the city of New Orleans * The
heroine of the affair, Madame Boyer, who has
shown herself a perfect Vidocq in petticoats,
is pretty well known in our community, enjoy
ing the prime of life and having the reputa
tion for some years of being a great beauty.
About a month ago, according to her own
account, she suspected the existence in our
midst of a secret band of abolitionists, who
worked in harmony for the cause of the ene
my, and who were so prudent and cautious in
all they did as to carry on their machinations
with impunity. She thought that if she could
trace up this order and bring its members to
justice she would make herself famous, and
accordingly she determined upon a systemat
ic plan of action for that purpose, which she
seems to have carried out wiih remarkable
skill and determination.
Her first steps was to engage an agent, and
she found one in a sharp-witted negro boy,
who entered into her service with alacrity.
By pretending that he wanted to escape to the
free States and was in search of aid and as
sistanee for that purpose, he managed to find
out, or pretended to And out, the names of a
number of men, some of them citizens, whom
he gave to Madame Boyer as persons of abo
lition sympathies. Their names was all she
wanted as a clue to work on, and obtaining
these, she proceeded in her deep laid scheme
to entrap them.
The first person she settled upon was Mr.
Anson Peck, dealer in combs and fancy arti
cles. She approached him under the pretense
that she had a son at the Belize very sick, and
wanted to communicate with him through his
assistance as she had not seen the boy for
several years. Upon this foundation she al
leges that ehe worked herself into Mr. Peck’s
confidence until he told her that he was from
Boston, had only been here three years, and
was a true Northerner in heart. Finnally she
says she told him that her real object was, not
to visit her son, but to communicate with the
blockading squadron, and to which be gave
full acquiescence and sympathy. Ho gave
her a letter to another merchant, asking that
gentleman to assist her in getting to the Be
lize, and assuring him that she might be spo
ken with in perfect confidence The person
addressed, however, dismissed her in a very
summary manner.
The next subject, of her attentions was Mr.
Wm. 11. Marshall, who keeps the grocery
store at the cornor of Julia and Baronne
streets, and she made his acquaintance by
asking him for wine and other delicacies fora
“sick friend,” and afterwards, finding him to
favor a certain church, set her sails to the re
ligious breeze. After a while she had so fas
cinated nim as to get him talking about polit
ical subjects, and finally told him that she
wanted to obtain the means of communicating
with the fleet,so as to furnish them with certain
information that would be valuable io them
in their attempt to obtain possession of the
city. She asserts that he entered into ths
trap with his whole heart, and she produces
two letters of introduction he gave her to the
other parties, endorsing her as 0. K. on the
abolition goose, and a safe person to talk with
on that subject. Marshal is an Englishman,
and has been in New Orleans since 1853.
She says there are a number of abolitioni
ists in this city, who are leagued togeiher in
a secret order to effect treason and work for
the North. That they had an existence be
fore the war, their object then being to run
off negroes to the Free States, and that Mar
shall actually has run off slaves. She asserts
that she discovered their secret sign of recog
nition and answer, and gave to Marshall, be
fore the Mayor, what she asserts to be the
grip of fellowship in the society.
'J he way in which her doings came to be
brought to light is one of the most singular
features in the whole affair. Her very activ.
ity in these operations drew upon her the at
tention and finally the suspicion of the detec
tive police, and about a week ago chief of
police, McClelland, detailed a sharp officer to
devote his whole time to trace up her move
ments and learn what she was about. While
she was playing the spy upon supposed abo
lition agents, she was herself being watched
and spied on suspicion of being an abolition
agent. At length the officer thought her ac
tions were suspicious enough to warrant her
arrest, particularly as he had not been able to
catch her in an overt act of treason and be
lieved she was meditating it.
Friday evening, therefore, she was appre
hended and brought before the Mayor, when
she told the story as we have given it above,
and produced the letters of introduction she
had obtained from Peck and Marshall. She
said that her arrest was very unfortunate, as,
if left, alone, she was sure of her ability to
bring to light the whole secret organization
of abolitionists, and procure convicting proof
against every member.
The Mayor told her that he did not feel
himself authorized to give her a commission
as a detective, but he would thoroughly in
vestigate the information she had given him,
and if it proved reliable, she might have the
satisfaction of having performed a service to
her country. He set her at liberty on her
own recognizance, to appear when called for,
and in the meantime issued warrants for the
arrest of Peck and Marshall.
They were both taken s.nd brought before
him yesterday, where they were confronted
by Madame Boyer. Her cross-examination
of them would have done credit to a criminal
lawyer, and it was the opinion of those pres
ent that they did not make much headway
against her accusations. They were both of
them committed to jail to await a further ex
amination.— New Orleans Delta, 13M inst.

us for the heavy expenses we have incurred—

know, is pleased with it. We feel very sure
that we have not a single subscriber that could

better paper will be greatly enhanced, and such
means shall be used to the best advantage. We
