“Plum No Cotton.”
Siich is the advice given by some of cmr e«i i’ ..
rial brethren to planters, sn reference to the cr ,
of the next year. We cannot persuade cu-s-.-i v<«
that the advice is good. We observe that tie; I.
gialature of Tenoeasee recotnmeud that the whole
force of the South should be turned from the pro
duction of cotton to that of provisions, and that
the Senate of Georgia baa endorsed the resolu
tions of too Tennessee Legislature. The advice
is none the better because it receives Legislative
endorsement.
Now, we have no right to question the wisdom
of the conn.ad, i' given by the Tennce.ieeuiis t
their own people; but we bare the right to doubt
if it is proper for Georgia, whose only staple is
cotton. Upon that staple alone ran we depend
for the procurement of rnocey for the payment of
tares, for the support of the government, (or re
ligious and educational purposes, and for many
other needs, and we cannot compete with Tennes
see and other producing States in the production
of grain. Produce as much ag we may, wscannot
afford to sell provisions at the price that will be
remunerative to them. We never have been abie
to,do ao with the most abundant crops, and we
never shall be. Our consumers will buy iu the
cheapest market, which will mot be our own.
Leaving out of the question, however, our abili
ty to compete with the grain producing States,
there are other views of the subject which should
induce planters to be cautious bow they follow
the advice to neglect altogether the cultivation of
the only staple they have. In the first place, the
omission totally to plant cotton, so far from pro
ducing a good eliect, will be productive of evil.
No grain crop in this climate needs cultivation
more than four months of the year, the remainder
of the working season is unemployed. Cun the
farmer airord to keep his negro a, horses and
other capital idle and "eating their heads oil”
lor the balance ot the season ? The cotton crop
employs this cupitnl in preparing the land before
the corn crop is planted, and in working it aft r
that crop is laid by. If we plant nothing but
corn, how is this capital and this time to be ern
ployed, except in the suicidal business of clearing
more land, or the up-hill business of attempting
to recuperate lands already worn out. We con -
clude from this reason afoiie, the necessity of the
constant employment of a planter's capital—that
a moderate cotton crop could be made, and ui the
same time a full provision crop, without inter
ference with each other.
If the manufacturing countries of the world can
ba supplied from no other source than tho cotton
States, we apprehend little danger, and but slight
diminution in price from our having on bund two
crops at the end < f next year. The last crop—
that now partly on hand —was undeniably a short
on", aud will prove inefficient, even if it gets to
market, to supply the increased yearly consump
tion—another light crop added to that will cot
materially diminish prices, they will still; rule
high euough to be remunerative, eveu if tho block -
adc is not removed until the t > crops shall have
accumulated and both he sent to market together.
If the stuck ori hand is accumulating, the want;
of the world are increasing in a like ratio, and it
is reasonable to conclude that two light crops m l
not so far glut the market that the planter will
not be able to obtain more money for his two
crops than for ouo.
Wo bavo hoped, iu our uaval weakness, that
England might he tempted to relievo us from the
annoyance of too blockade. The temptation we
present to her, is the supply of cheap cotton that
we are able to furnish her. To relieve herself
from this want, is her only inducement for hostili
ties with our enemies, whatever plausible excuse
she may make for war with the United States,
cotton would be the rail cause. If no such ex
cuse coul t be made by her until next r.ummer,
and she found that no preparations were made by
jjur planters for her fuithe.' supply, she may con

cotton, but chiefly on account of the c< r-
Rinty of tho supply. We have competitors in
tho production, and although we Batter ourselves
their competition is not dangerous, it may become
so, when we by our act, render the certainty of a
supply from us uncertain. Necessity will compel
the British mauufacfurir to encourage and devel
ops lho culture in someone of the many ten do
ries of the British crown suitable to its growth.—
People are very unwilling to acknowledge this
danger, but it exists, aud is not diminished by
closing our eyes to it. All men who areacquaia,
ed with the trade know liow greatly tho supply
from India can bo increased under the stimulus
ol tt short crop in America and consequent high
prices. True it is, that t tie Surat cotton, Brought
to market cannot successfully compete with
oors iu the length aud hnenei.s ol the staj \
Wo are inclined to think, however, that tho
objections to it fire owing in somo degree to
n pnjudice bimilar to that which once existed
against our own Uplands, which manufacturers
thought unlit for use until improved machinery
and manipulation taught them better. Certain
it is, that cottons of as fine or liner staple than
.ours are raised in India, which probably have
never come to European markets. Textilele.bi es
of the most exquisite fineness are made by ths
ll'udoo weavers—cloths which never could be
woven of the harsh stapled Hurats. In one of the j
l.ondon Great Exhibitions, a piece of ludiun
nuisliu was exhibited, ton yards long by one yard
wide, which weighed only throe ounces and could
be passed through a very small finger-ring
Where fine cotton, suitable for the manufacture
of such tissues, is grown, more can bo, by en
couragement and under the stimulus of high
prices. It is not the part of wisdom for us to
ufl'ord to any competitor such encouragement.

•ou so important a subject, but we think it our duty

Hp is not to be intermitted in one or two years.
are in error we leave them to decide which
>uor is likely to be most lata!—to have a large
supply on hand to offer to Europe, or a very small
one. Oar advice to planters ts, to plant such a
breadth of their best land in corn, that they may
[have a good reasonable certainty, even with a bad
Lk'hsou, ot making a sufficiency and some surplus
for sale, and to plant as muclxmore laud in cotu i !
as they can well cultivate. By such accurst !
there is no danger that a burdensome crop ofcot- !
ton will be made. The present interruption to
our exports cannot last until the accumulation of I
ootton, suddenly released, overflows the markei- !
of the world ; and, in our opinion, it is better that !
the stock on hand should accumulate than that. !
when, or before our ports are opened, we should ;
have little or nothing to export.

Tli people of the South, remarks the Charles

the sufferings and indignities which have been
l eap. 1 upon the noble people of Baltimore by
the military despotism of the Loncoln Govern
ment. Especially have the high-soulod women
of t o Monumental City proved their claim to the
lidrbr tiou of the world. Insulted, persecuted
and imprisoned, through all, they have clung
with heroic fortitude to the cause of their be
loved. South. They have sent forth their sons
and l rotl’.cis aud husbands to smite the invader
upon every battle field along the border, and the

ginia from beyond the Potomac, sends to us the
following narrative of facts, whicli may serve as
an instauce of the unconquerable spirit of the
won on of Baltimore, under the petty outrages to
which they are continually subjected by the
brutal Yankee soldiery :
SI’ICT INTERVIEW BETWEEN GEN. DIX AND A LADY OF
BALTIMORE.
A Mrs. W., of Baltimore, about to pay a visit ot
a tciv days to the country to some relatives, was
driving "through the city, in her own carriage,
w i.h her trunk st; ppni behind. Suddenly the ;
vehicle was st. pped oy a policeman, who assured
ti e lady she was under arrest, and would be
obli. ed io repair immediately to .ho office of the
Provost Marshal.
Mrs. W\, somewhat indgmant at the request, re
•V • i to go, alleging as an excuse, that such a
jn-.b -c pko. -M's unr.i lor a lady to frequent; she
said t .at to - would go tile commanding General,
Dix, For. Alciieury, but if the policeman at
tern, : J io take her to the Protest Marsh, i, siie
would sheet him.
The miserable hireling, cowed irom fear of an
armed woman, said very humbly, “Asyou please,
Madam ;1 will get into the carriage and go to the
Fort with yon.”
••You are mistaken,” replied Mrs. Vi., “this
carriage is mine, and if you attempt to get into it
I will immediately fire upon you.”
The Lincoln policeman, again cowed, obeyed
Mrs. AY., who ordered him to take his seat with
| her coachman, in whom she now confided as her
| protector. Mrs. AY. told him to drive to Fort
I McHenry.
j Reaching the Hostile, she sent for Gen. Dix,
, who, always disconcerted when visited by ladies,
was peculiarly so ou this occasion—seeing a
S lady with baggage, as though she were a “ State
prisoner.”
Advancing to Mrs. \Y., he S' ,'c “ Madam, 1 do
not know how to address you.”
Mrs. W. —lt is time you did, sir: since I am ar
rested, I suppose, on your authority.
Gen. Dix. —Madam, you look wearied; walk in
to my office. (Ordering some regulars to bring
] in tue trunk and search it, he remarks to Mrs.
AV. this is a military necessity. Madam. I would
! these things were not, but the Government must
jbe supported. “.'United we stand,” you know.
Madam have you any sous in the Confederate
Army ?
Mrs. AT.—I have three, sir.
Gen. Dix.—Did you aid and enerurage them to
enlist in that service ?
Mrs. \V.—Gen. Dix, are yon a married man ?
Gen. Dix.—l am, Madam.
Mrs. AV.—Then ask your wife what she would
have done under similar circumstances.
- Then was heard from one o: the General’s satel-
Ilites, “ The rebel spirit of the Baltimore women !
It will never be extinguished!”
Gen. Dix.—Madam, you look fai-.t and weary,
i let me order you some refreshments.
| ilrs. W.—What, eat here! I, a Southern v.o-
I era , break bread with the Vankor-. Never,
II while they are the mi -Table foes th-.-y have prat
ed themselves. >lv*ry day I see more cb arlv the
necessity of an eternal separation, .hud where
the dividing lice is fixed, I want a v ail built so
' high that a Yankee can never scale it!
i The trunk breakers having satisfied themselves
that nothing objectionable to the Administration
! could be found, reported the same to Gen. Dix,
! who, consulting with the above mentioned satel- j
I Sites i brilliant aid no doubt ), determined to have
I the person of Mrs. W. searched. The gallant
; General remarked : “Madam, it is necessary now
that vour person be searched; you wi'.l not ob
ject i Lope.”
-Mrs. W.—Oh, no, Sir, if the person to perform
j that ignoble office is a female
Gen. Dix.—Ob, yes, madam, a lad}’, your
equal.
Mrs. W.—Sir, you are m “taken; not a iady,
hot my eqnal. Were she either, she would not do
the degrading work you assign her.
Mas. W. was taken to a private apartment, and
the search was begun. Finding the woman de
linquent, Mrs. W. threatened so report her if she
did nol perform her duty more faithfully. “Pull
off my shoes,” she continued, “look well into
them ; make a thorough search, and see if you
can find a combination of red and white, or any
thing inimical to the Union savers; look well, or
I v. iil report you.”
The woman finding nothing treasonable upon
Mrs. W., returned with her to tbe gallant Gen
eral, telling him she would not search another
ludy lor fire hundred dollars ; that such a perse
vering character she had never encountered.
Gen. Dix, shocked, no doubt, at Mrs. W.’s
agiiuted appearance, again proposed refresh
ments : “Madam,” he said, “do have a glass of
wine.'
Mrs. W.—Only on the condition, sir, that you
will drink with me to the health and success of
General Beauregard.
J he wine, 1 believe, was not taken.
Mrs. W. then, turning to Gen. Dix, said : “.dir,
I hope you are satisfied that I have nothing trait
orous to your righteous cause. You thought to
find the Confederate Hug in uiy trunk, or on my
person; indeed, you are not good at hide and
seek. Your soldiers are too little interested in
your righteous cause to serve you faithfully.—
They searched my house a fortnight since for the
Flag. Both you and they have been foiled. 1
sent that Flag to Virginia ten days since under, a
load cf wood; it now waves over the glorious
Confederates at Manassas. Sir, it seems the Yan
. kees’ peculiar pleasure is to try to frighten wo
men aud children. They cannot gain battles, so
they revenge themselves in this ignoble manner.
And now, sir, 1 imagine you have dons.
Gen. Dix—l regret, Madam, that we should
have met under these unfortunate circumstances.
1 will detain you no longer.
Mrs. W. —Sir, I demand one thing cf you before
I depart. I have been airestedon suspicion, 1
desire row an honorable discharge.
Gen. Dix.—Oh, madam, that is unnecessary ; it
is a mere form, ar.d therefore useless.
Mrs. W.—l like forms, Gen. Dix, particularly
when connected with official documents.
The General, stein;; M•< W. determined, or
dered t! e Hecretary to w. the discharge, and,
handing it to Mrs. W., said : Madam, I believe
that it is all.
Mrs.W.—No, Jr ; not all yet. 1 wish your
name added. 1 believe that is essential to such a
document.
The General, more reluctant to sign his name
than to grunt the discharge, was finally brought
to the point.
Mrs. VV.—And now, Gen. Dix, do you know
what I intend doing with this discharge ? I shall
send it to my sons at Manassas, and if they have
any of the spirit of their mother, they will, one
day, make yon rue this encounter.
After Mrs. -V. left, they say, the General vowed
he would not see another woman for three years,
three months, three weeks, aud three days, call
ing no doubt, to mind, Richard Cceur de Lion’s
famous truce with Haladin.
Correspondence of the Chronicle L Sentinel.
From tftie First Cieoitrfa..
Camp Mason, nkau Wincuestkk, Va. i
December 18th, 1861. j
Mr. Editor: —Having a few leisure moment?, I
cannot do better than scud you a gossiping epistle
to the Chronicle, although my items may not be
of much interest.
We left drasburg on the Bth for this place, be
ing a march of about twenty miles. We bad to
cany all our baggage, and oue knapsack aud two
blankets, as we were only able to get transporta
tion enough for our tents, cooking utensils, and
part of our blankets. Having such a heavy load
to carry, one of my comrades and myself conclud
ed to take our time for it, and after marching
about six miles, stopped for the night. The next
day (Sunday,) we came on about six miles farther
to a small villago named Newtown, where we
again stopped over night. The next day wo met
a wagon coining to Winchester, and having a
chance to ride, we came on there.
Our camp is about two miles from town, outhe
road toward Romney. We do not know anything
about our future movements, or whether we will
move from here or not this winter. We are
ordered to keep one day’s rations always cooked
and ready to march at a moment’s notice, still we
may stay here all winter.
This part of Virginia presents a very agreeable
contrast to the Northwestern part of the State,
where we have spent the last mx months The
difference was very perceptible as soon as we left
the turnpike from Staunton. At every house and
corner on the road we were met iy crowds of
young ladies and women, cheering and waving
their handkerchiefs.
Instead of the march being a hard one, as sla
ted in your paper, it was very pleasant. AA r ith
the exception of two days, vve i ad very pleasant
weather all the time. The turnpike is one of the
best 1 ever saw, and the “natives” here seemed
glad to see us and willing to do anything they
could for the soldiers. This difference may be
accounted for, I presume, by the fact that ours
was the first army to march over that road, and
consequently it was a “novelty” to them. In the
Northwest part of the State the people are not
more than half civilized; all they seem to study
or care about is how to make the most money out
of the soldiers. If we went into a house for a
meal they were sure to charge the most exhorbi
tant prices for the poorest kind of faro. Ail along
up the valley we could go to any of the farm
houses and were always sure of the best the place
afforded, and whenever we offered to pay, the an
swer invariably was, “\Ve can take nothing from
soldiers ; all wo want is that you should fight for
us which, of course, we promised to do. Had
we gene home without seeing any other part of
the State than the Northwest, wo would have had
but a poor opinion of Virginia hospitality, or any
thing else connected with the State. This “Val-r
ley of A’irginia” is without doubt, one of the finest
countries in the world.
About half wuy between our camps and town
stands the residence of Senator Mason, naw a
prisoner in Fort Warren. When oar regiment
passed his residence, wo gave him three hearty
Georgia cheers. Our camp has been named
Gamp Mason, in compliment to him.
Since we have been here we have been kept
pretty busy, drilling, Ac. Three or four only are
allowed to go into town at a time. Winchester is
quite a large place, having a population of about
7,000.
December 21st.—I will now endeavor to finish
my epistle. Wo are still here doing nothing ex
cept finding fault with the Government for send
the mountain men of Northwest Virginia to the
Southern States, and keeping our Regiment here.
The papers urging the twelve month’s men to
enlist lor three years, but J think it a bad way to
do so by sending A’lrginia troops to the South
aud keeping Southern troops here. Ido not
think there is a third of the Regiment will re
enlist if they are kept in Virginia until their term
of service expires. But if sent South, they would
all enlist again. \A e have a flue Regiment, and I
suppose that is the reason they keep us here—
but it seems hard, that wo should remain here
doiDg nothing, when ourhomes ar thrtatenei and
the enemy are upon cur coasts. But “to obey is
b ter than sacrifice,’’ and we snail always “obey
orders.”
It is very cold here—much colder than we like
to have it. Most ot the tents have stone fire
places in them. Onr Colonel indulges in luxury
of a store. The health of the Regiment is good.
Yesterday, Gen. Jackson (to whose command
we are attached) succeeded, with a portion of his
brigade, in breaking dam No. 4 in the Chesapeake
and Ohi-- Canal, leaving it a perfect wreck. The
dam was guarded by a force of Lincoinites,
but they were repulsed, with the loss of but one
killed on our side. This is a most important
m. cement. By this route the denizens of Wash
ington received a large portion of their coal—
tl; y will have to be a little more sparing of the j
article iu future. The General returned" to his
quarters in AVinchester this afternoon, well pleas
ed with his labors. Our regiment was not en
gr.ged.
I understand we are to be reinforced in a day
or two with six additional fliegiments. Rumor is
busy with conjectures as to the reason for this
augmenting cf our forces ; you may at all events
look for stirring times shortly.
Yours truly, Philos.

j Mr. Eulior : The monotony of our cam;-, or ra
| ther cabin-life was disturbed on the morning of
I the l lth inst , by some very stirring events. —
! About -1 o’clock we were aroused from our slum
ibersbythe intelligence that the Yankees were
i moving down upon ns in force, and orders were
given to '‘tail in,” preparatory to their reception.
The mtruing was bitteriy cold, and the cutting
air and frozen ground contrasted mest picehingly
with the comfort of our “bunks” and blankets. —
Three companies of the 12th Georgia Regiment,
the 81st Virginia Regiment, and two Virginia
j Battaiions, commanded respectively by 1 ieut.
i Col. liansborcuga and Maj. Regan, were ordered
to the right of cur camp to protect an fcp; roach
in that direction, while the remainder of or., ‘drees
were stationed in entrenchments that com . .nded
another road coming on our lei t. Our win force,
embracing also two artillery companies, did not
exceed fourteen buudred, of whom about one
thousand were in tipo entrenchments, the remain
der, four hundred, being stationed as already sta
ted, on the right. We awaited in the cold two or
three hours bo-tore the enemy came.
About daybreak, they were seen advancing.—
They came in two columns, by the two roads re
foreii to, tho one by the road on our right, coming
a little first. The attack from this column com
menced about suu rise, aud opened with a fierce, i
terriffie fire. The 81st Virginia Regiment re- j
ceived the first fire, and responded very j
promptly. Immediately the three companies of
the 12th Georgia, rallied to the scene ot the con- j
flict, and took their places with the foremost, aud
for about three hours the contest raged with uu- j
ceasing, aud unabated fierceness. Many of the
Virginians fought with unsurpassed courage, but
to the Georgians belongs xhe honor of having
b ta foremost in the fight, and loading every
charge. Three times were the enemy repulsed
before they finally yielded and thou not until they
bad been severely punished by our gallant sol
diers.
The other column made their attack a little af
ter this began. But they were so protected by
felled timber and brush, that our shots could not
reach them with much effect, and as our men
were also protected by their intrenchments, the
shots from neither side did much damage. They
continued to exchange shots for several hours be
fore the Yankees retired.
This, I apprehend, was one of the hardest
fought battles of the war, and must reflect honor
on I:-..-..' who fought it. The victory was com
plete, and a glorious one considering tho dispari
ty of numbers, the 'Federal* having about five
thousand, while our force did not exceed fourteen
hundred. It was dearly fought however, and cost
the life of many a gallant man. Trie 12th Geor
gia sustained a severe loss ir, the death of Lieut.
Moore, commanding the “Lowndes Volunteers.”
He was a true and gallant soldier and officer, and
fell while leading his men in the hottest of the
fight. The total casualties on our side were twenty
two killed, ninety four wounded and twenty eight
missing, of these the 15th Georgia, which suffered
most, lost six killed, thirty seven wounded and
four missing. We do not know the extent of
damage done to tho enemy, though they suffered
worse than vre. We have buried thirty-four,
have captured fourteen wounded prisoners, and
four others. They had ambulances running
during the whole light, auAwe saw them haul
otSsix wagon loads of dead and wounded. If we
had had force enough to pursue them, we could
have captured many more of them. We have
done considerable work on our defences, since
the ffotit, and if they return they will find that
we have not retreated to Staunton, as they false
ly reported, but that wo are prepared to “welcome
them with bloody hands to hospitable graves,”
on the summit of the Alleghany.
We are still hopeful that our regiment may bo
removed from this cheerless section, to a more
comfortable and congenial climate for the winter.
If any regiment iu the service is entitled to re
spite from labor and service, or needs recruiting,
it is certainly ours, as the history of onr cam
paign in these mountains, aud the comparison of
the strength of the regiment to-day, with what it
was when it entered the service, will abundantly
testify. And yet, we see other regiments going
into comfortable wiutcr quarters, aud into tlie
South—even Virginia regiments being ordered to
the Southern coast —while we aie still here, sub
jected to a most rigorous and (to us) almost in
tolerable climate, doing heavier picket duty even
in these freezing nights, than we have ever done
heretofore. I think we, and our friends have a
light to complain, that the Government has neg
lected us: and treated us unjustly, especially
when ;t is remembered that we are the only Geor
gia, or Southern Regiment now left in Northwest
Virginia. Yet, wo will do our duty here, if it is
so ordered, as efficiently and cheerfully as we
may. Anselm.
From elie Norik,
From passengers just arrived from the North,
via the Potomac, we learn that Federal troops fill
the whole Maryland shore, 2,500 cavalry being in
St. Mary’s county; and yet there is a way of pass
ing through tho hands of the corruptible Sickles.
They report that the shrewdest ol the Yankees
argue that “a war with England about two old
men won’t pay. No dollars and cents are iu it.”
And, if they are not interrupted, Virginia will
speedily become tneir prey. They gloat over the
rich prize of cotton stolen from South Carolina,
and revel iu imaginary bliss in tho possession of
the cities and farms of Virginia Their only fear
seenra to bo that, when they aavanoo, thu Virgin
ians will “submit,” mid avoid confiscation. They
say it is a “heavenly climate,” from this speci
men of a winter, and that they will never winter
again in the North. They really seemed vexed at
the number of “disgusted exiles” returning from
Richmond, and express a hope that the “bogus
Secretaries of the South will treat the flying pa
triots more kindly.” Seward is to be Wiilam the
Conquerer.
These gentlemen from the North have furnished
us with Baltimore papers of a recent date.
The American, of tho 21st-, says “the belief
strengthens and deepens that there will be no war
with England.” The Fernandina expedition had
been abandoned. Gen. Sherman had ordered
the Yankee reporters home from Port Royal.—
Gen. Wright’s brigade occupies Tybee Island.
The “two boys” sent North by the Secretary
of War with Capt. Ricketts and the Rev. Mr.
Mines, have given the Washington Government
much valuable information concerning the batter
ies on tbe Potomac, the Confederate fortifications,
troops, hospitals, &e., such as they never could
have obtained without meeting (by consent or
otherwise) with Lincoln emissaries "and pension
ers iu Richmond. The American, of the 21st, has
a minute and extended account of their informa
tion, headed “Position of the Rebel Forces.”—
“The boys” say they visited the rebel fortifica
tions north-west ot Richmond, on which they
saw mounted nearly twenty fire guns.
“Muskets,” say they “are so scarce that when
the guard comes round at the prisons on relief,
they come without guns, making one set do the
whole duty.” Further—“At Richmond it-is be
lieved that Gen. Burnside’s expedition is to move
up the Potomac to attack and capture the rebel
batteries on the right bank. As an indication of
the existence of an anti war feeling, they state
that the proprietor of the Exchange Hotel said
he would give five thousand dollars if tbe war
was over.” They say when they arrived in Rich
mond they were confined one night in the tobac
co- warehouse. Then “they wore taken before
Gen. Winder and Mr. Benjamin, Secretary of
War, who promptly ordered their discharges, aud
thence to be sent forward.”
AA’e are assured by passengers just arrived front
beyond the P; tomac, who have not been able to
see any of our Cabinet, that a portion of Burn
side’s "expedition, most of which is still at An
napolis, is destined to assail Norfolk, lauding a
force so as to attack the city in the rear. Another
portion is to attack Ncwbero, N. C Tins place
they mean to occupy permanently—if thev can.
It is also stated by these gentlemen that de
monstrasions r. r e to be made against Augusta,
Memphis and Knoxville.
Brady’s Rocket Regiment has proceeded to
Washington. What is that for?
The American has a list of “Union Contribu
tions” for the army, consisting of trifling dona
tions of clothing and money. The latter in
sums ct two dollars and three dollars. This is
a poor imitation of our “patriotic contributions”
registered at the passport office, amounting to
more than SIOO,OOO per month.
[ Richmond Dispatch.
Naval Engagement down thk Bat. —About
mid-day yesterday the stout gunboat Florida,
0. S. N", concluded to celebrate Christmas eve j
bv a small set-to with the insolent Lincoln cruiser
Nj'.t London, which was lying off the harbor.
The Flor.da ran down io the westward of Sand
Island and challenged the New London to come
on, which she did, and for ar hour or two a lively
-cannonade at long taw famished an excitingly in
teresting exhibition for the entertainment ot the
great audience who viewed it, the four thousand
men who garrison Forts Morgan and Gaines, as
well as the crews of the blockading vessel, being
the spectators. The Florida could not come to
close quarters with the enemy by reason of the
shoal water of a bar intervening, and could she
have gat out it is likely she would have had more
than she could attend to with the several blocka
ders that were lying oflin deep water.
The engagement was lengthy, and many shots
were fired on both sides, and ended hr the New
London backing out as usual. The Florida was
not touched, but it is thought ihat three of her
pills took effect on the enemy. AH but these
three were seen to strike the water, but the thou- I
! sands of eyes which watched could not tell where 1
these three went to if they were not stopped by
the New London. Sue was evidently hit hard,
for after backing ont of the fight she signalled
the fleat. and one of them ran down and lay
alongside of her for several hears, rendering as
sistance, it is supposed.
The spectators say that the Florida’s long and
terrible guns were admirably served, the practice
being most excellent, placing the shot and shell
all around the mark, so close in many instances (
as to apparently dasn the water upon the Lincoln
ite’s decks. The engagement is said to hava bseu
i a most animating an-1 exciting scene as witnes*-
j ed from the forts. AVe hope that our gun-boats
will often so entertain the garrisons in those
{ dreary quarters by damaging attentions to our
unwelcome visitors outside.— Mobile Keg. ci Adv.,

Our Ililton Head Correspondence.
Hilton Head, S. C., Nov. 30, 1861.—Arriving
ofi' Tybae, the Deford anchored near the frigate
Savannah until the next morning, the 30th inst.,
when the Deford moved closer in towards the
shore of Tybee Island. It waa.shortly after that
those on board the Deford discovered a schooner
moving across the breakers, and directly for the
shore. The weather was somewhat thick and
hazy. The officers of our steamer supposed that
the strange vessel had made a mistake iu her
bearings, which subsequenty proved to be true.
At 8 o’clock the troop3 were landed, and proceed
ed to that part of the island where the schooner
was, about three miles from Tybee lighthouse,
where she was discovered high and dr}' upon the
beach. A detachment of soldiers aud marines
from the U. S. gunboat Flag, Capt. John Rogers,
had previously taken possession, and were then
busily engaged in the removal of the schooner’s
cargo, which consisted of 175 bags coffee, 40,000
segars and a quantity of fruit and small stores.
The officers of the Flag, it appears, had tho erew,
or a portion of them, under guard as prisoners.
Tha schooner, is the E. Waterman, of Charles
ton, now called the C. J. Effie. She left Carde
nas on the 19th ult., bound for Cbarlestou, S. C ,
in the hope of successfully running the blockade.
Her crew consisted of Capt. Hawes, of Chatham,
Cape Cod; M. Chadwick, mate, from North Caro
lina., and five others ; one of whom was a passen
ger, and who, with two of the crew, escaped
across the Island towards Fort Pulasui. It ap
pears that after the vessel left Cardenas she steer
ed a direct course towards Charleston. Making
land on t».e29!h ultimo, the officers of the schoon
er supposed they were near North Euisto. The
male wanted to stand in for Charleston that night,
but the Captain was very timorous on account of
seeing a light cu board one of the blockading fleet,
and concluded to wait the appearance of things
on the following morning. The next morningthe
atmosphere was obscured by a dense fog. The
sounding lead was used, and the depth of wat.r
still further impressed the Captain that he was off
North Edisto. A few moments after this the ves
sel suddenly brought upon a shoal. The schoon
er worked her way over the skoal into deep wa
ter again, but in a few minutes tho vessel struck
another aud more formidable shoal. Tho vessel
thumped very hard, the fog cleared up, when the
truants discovered they had mistaken their bear
ings, aud instead of being off North Edisto, they
were beached on Tybee Island, ami in full, view of i
the blockading fleet. The gunboat Elagsoonaf- !
ter took charge of tho truaut vessel. A Spanish !
and a Confederate flsg were found on board.— j
The “secesh” flag was found wrapped around the !
sounding lead, over the side of the vessel. Capt.
Roaors, of the Flag, has it now ia his possesion.
The prisoners were sent on board the steamer
Ben Deford and thence to Hilton Hoad. The
schooner was subsequently got afloat, aud is now
safe in our hands.
Hilton Head, S. C., Dec. 1, 1851. —If is now
.marly one mouth since this place was captured
from the rebels by our navy and occupied by our
troops. Thus far the army have done compara
tively nothing, considering their position and the
immediate necessity of marching on to Charleston
and Savannah. lifis true that some few reeon
noissances have been made, and fortifications put
in course of construction ; but all these were
merely defensive measures. No attempt has been
made to take tho initiative towards going into the
interior of secession territory. Tho troops here,
to a man, are anxious to meet the enemy, aud
why they have been permitted to remain idle one
entire month is a problem they cannot solve.—
The blow against South Carolina, if struck at all
must be done quickly, as the rebels of that State
are exerting every resource to render our ad
vance as difficult and as costly a3 possible.
Hilton Head now presents the appearance of
a large village. The new storehouses aro com
pleted, large stables have been erected,and every
thing is being done to render tho tioops com
fortable. The camps, which are regularly laid
out in streets aud avenues, present a very
picturesque appearance. In many of the camps
the troops have shaded the fronts of the tents
with orange boughs, palmetto leaves and other
indigenous shrubbery. Tho health of the troops
is generally good. " The prevailing sickness is
of the various fever tpye?, but of such natures as
readily yield to treatment.
The steamship Winfield Scott, Capt. Edey, went
on an expedition to Beaufort on the 29th ult., to
secure iron for making spikes to finish the wharf
in course of construction at Hilton Head. They
left here at ton o’clock, a. m. in charge of the
pilot of the steamship Philadelphia, three gun
boatshaving preceded to clear the way for the
ticott. The latter steamer continued up a river
or eighteen miles, to a place called Laurel Bay,
when a rebel steamer was sighted about one mile
distant. Captain Edsy, of tbe Scott, and Col.
Serrell, of the Engineers, consulted together, and
came to the conclusion that either they were on
the wrong route to Beaufort or that the gunboats
had preceded them, otherwise tho rebel steamer
would not have been seen where she then was.
The rebel steamer, when the Scott approached
steamed away at a rapid rate.
The Scott was put about and returned to Ililton
Head, and the facts alluded to stated to Commo
dore Dupont. Tue Commodore sia’ed in emphat
ic terms that he had dispatched three boats to
Beaufort, early that morning, and that tha Scott
had went up Broad river instead of Beaufort river.
The Commodore was correct. Tha next morn
ing, the SOth nit., the Scott was dispatched to
Beaufort, under convoy of tho gunboat Pembina,
Lieut. Commanding Bankhead. The vessels ar
rived there at 8 o’clock, A. M., the same day.—
Pickets were posted in proper places, and the
balance of the troops were put to work securing
old iron for army purposes. The troops remain
ed at Baaufort on the SOth ult., and the Ist of De
cember, when they started homeward, having
secured 96,000 feet of lumber, twenty tons of
iron, four steam fire engines—one of them a
double-dc-cker, built by Agnew, of Philadelphia,
the three'others were ol a less modern pattern.—
Other articles, such as desks, wagons, were
proenred. The value of the goods thus seized
amounted to about ?33,000. The village is still
depopulated by its white inhabitants. The ne
groes have thoroughly ransacked nearly every
house in the place, and destroyed nearly a mil
lion dollars worth of real and personal property.
The rebels have obstructed th® channel iu the
Savannah river, near Fort Pulaski, bv sinking
two hulks filled with stone. They evidently ex
pect to hear from us soon. As it is, our gunboats
at the month of the Savannah Riv. r keep up a
desultory fire night aud day on lort Pulaski.—
The enemy return it with vigor, but their guns
are inferior in range to onrs.
For Prisoners. —We noticed at tbe Expres s
Office yesterday, twenty-thi ee large fcsxcs filled
with clothing, from Fortress Monroe, cn route to
“Prisoners of War, Tuscaloosa, Ala.” We are
glad to seo the Lincoln Government showing
some signs of humanity.
Murder and Attehped Suicide. —A man named
Thomas Bcoom, living in the lower part cf the
city, last evening, shot bis wifi, killing her a.-
most instantly. The unfortunate man aft ciw.-i
attempted to cut his own throat, but inflicted only
a superficial wound. Broom was tnppo.’c Ito be
intoxicated. He bas been committed to jail.
The Tragedy in the First AA’ard.— Coroner
Baker held an inquest Tuesday night, over the
body o? Mrs. Broom, who was shot by her hus
band that evening. A verdict in accordance with
the facts, was rendered by thejary.
The funeral of Mrs. Beoom takes place at three
o’clock this afternoon.
The prisoner, Thos. M. Broom, is to have e.n ex
amination before the Magistrates, at the Court
j House, at ten oV.ock, A. M., to-morrow.

OBITUARY
Died in Augusta, Ga., on the Ist inst.. of Tubercular Pr.eu
monia, GEORGE W. WINTER, aged 37 years.
When the hand of death is laid upon the old man, tottering
upon the verge ot the grave, after a long and well spent life,
we instinctively feei that it must be go,'and that it is fit we
should conclude a career of usefulness by receiving a crown of
g'ory unfading and immortal. And even when the tenderness
of infancy is crushed beneath the realities and cares of the
world, we take consolation in the reflection that the soul is
s;t tree before it comes in contact with its trials and its hard
ships. The one haslived to cheer by his smiles—to comfort by
the exertions of his own strong arm—to guide by his count U :
whilst the other created to die, in order that it might en
joy the blissful peace of Heaven. But when we see one
stricken down in the prime of a vigorous manhood, we ere
struck with astoni-hment, and find a solution only in the fact
that the ways of God are “ past finding out.”
The demise of Mr. Wjitter is a public calamity. In all the
various relations of iife, such was the iusiice of his course, and
so marked was his integrity of purpose, that he drew around
him many friends, and challenged the admiration of oil. Asa
man of business, * dear Leaned, sagacious and energetic,” he
was enabled to surmount ob=tac ts before which most men
would have faltered, and under which they would have sunk
in despair. Bui with a manly determination of honesty and
fixedness of purposeness, ho had well nigh overcome what
appeared to others insurmountable. Liberal in his policy, oo
lite in his intercourse and clear in h.Bjudgment, wa] reaping
the fruits of his labors, while at the same time he had gained
the confidence a;.d respect of his associates. In commercial
circles his voice no longer guides, but he leaves behind a good
name and reputation worthy of ali emulation. ■
Asa master he was kted and humane—ever mindful oi the
dependence of his slaves, his provision was always bountiful,
and h’s treatment waw just and indulgent— of this let the
tribute of their own hearts attest, fora-:; Jjia remains were laid
in his Fast home, with a touching simplicity, a faithful servant
begged permission to make a few remarks and sing a hymn
b-fore he was covered forever from his sight, and as the hymn
was sung, oaeandali, o.d and young, could not restrain the
trickling tear at go remarkablv feelii g sd exhibition.
But it was In the hwne circle that he shone. So sacred
seems that stricken household, that v/e feel as though we
were treading upon holy ground. As husband and father, he
was all that husoand and father could be. His comings and
goings were ev r attended by the touch of caress, and his last
accents were always those of love. A widowed heart and
sorrowing orphans justly mourn the loss of him so particularly
and peculiany devoted. But why should they ? For many
years a member of <he Presbyterian Church, he alwa> s exhit -
red in his daily walk and conversation, a manly piety—the
brightest ornament in his character. And whdn be came to
die, with an u: faltering trust in God, he passed from earth to
Heaven. He died as sets the morning star, which goes not
down behind the darkened Wes*, nor hides itself obscured
among the tempests of the sky, out melts away into the light
of Heaven. W.
