MORE FROM PORT ROYAL.
Savannah, 7th. —Commodore Tatnall, after a
gallant engagement with the advance vessels of
the fleet, transferred his marines and ammuni
tion to the batteries and sent his steamer, Sa
vannah, up to the city for repairs, it hhving re
ceived three sho‘s from the enemy.
The Savannah left the vicinity of the batte- j
rie3 at 2 o’clock and reports that the engage
ment with the fleet was still progressing. Only
seven vessels had passed the batteries. Water
communication with Charleston was cut off by
the blockade of Skull Creek. Reinforcements
are being sent from South Caroliua and Geor
gia. Wilson’s regiment leaves Tybee to night.

IMPORTANT FROM PRICES ARMY.
Tipton, Oct. 28.
A scout who came into Sedalia yesterday, re
ports that Price is moving for Springfield with
bis whole command, where it is certain he in
tends to make a stand.
McCulloch is reported on Grand Prairie, with
10,000 men.
Price’s men are represented to be so dissatified
with the prospect of leaving the State, that
they will force him to make a stand. ’They say
they are State troops ; that they enlisted to fight
in the State, and they won’t go out of it without
a fight.
The Secessionists otYer to bet largely that Pric
will give Fremont battle, and whip him.
Gen. Kennedy, who has just returned from
Price’s army to Sedalia, the same thing
and says Price will have more reinforcements
than the Government dreams of.
Gen. Lane entered Pleasant Hill the other day,
and, after planting the United States flag, called
the citizens together, and made them a
in which he told them that that flag has been
your protection, and shall be still. “So long as
it remains here you are safe, but if it is cut down,
by the Eternal! I will return and burn your
town.”
He then withdrew with his men, and although
the inhabitants are all secessionists, and this
affair occurred two weeks ago, the flag is still
waiving over the town.
Large numbers of Secessionists are returning
to this part of the country every day from the
rebel army, and their increasing strength is ex
citing considerable alarm among the Union citi
zens, who fear that as soon as the troops leave
they will renew their depredations.
All quiet here. The rumor is revived again
that Johnson has come into this State again from
Tennessee, with reinforcements for Price and
taken command of his army. It does not receive
the attention, however, which its importance
would demand, if true.
The pickets of the Twenty-fifth Indiana were
fired upon a few nights ago by returned. Secessio
nists, it is supposed.

Acquittal or one of the Alleged Pirates
—Eben Lane one of the persons captured on the
prize vessel, the Enchantress, was yesterday
acquitted of the charge of piracy. It was toler
ably clearly shown that he was not in sympathy
with the pirates, but used his skill as a navaga
tor to deceive the piratical crew ; at night turn
ing the vcrsel’s head North, and in the day put
ting her course South again for Charleston.
This made her passage an extrordinary long one,
and was the cause of her being captured by a
United States vessel off Hatteras.—Under the
cicumstances shown, an acquittal was asked and
readily obtained from the jury. The defendant
is a native of Massachusetts The owners of the
vessel, to whom she is saved by his condfict,
ought to reward him for it
All the rest of the crew were found guilty of
piracy. —Philadelphia Ledger, 28 th ult.

THE SITUATION.
A yy ord upon the present condition of affairs
on the coast of Georgia, may not be amiss:
After our evening edition of yesterday went to
press, advices were received from below reporting
the entire disappearance of the Lincoln fleet
from their late anchorage off Port Royal. Noth
ing definite is known, at the time we write, of
their direction. Our dispatch, announcing the
appearance ot forty-one sail off Stono (about fif
teen miles South of ,Charleston) yesterday morn
ing, may throw some light on the subject. And
again, they may be the remainder of the fleet
that was lett behind by the advance squadron,
as the expedition is understood to consist of from
eighty to a hundred vessels.
However this may be, our people should not
allow themselves to be seduced into the idea that
we shall be overlooked by this infamous band
of pirates who have set out to scourge and des
olate the Southern coast. They have their work
to perform, for to return without an attempt to
subdue us would result in national disgrace.—
However they shift about, doubtless to deceive us
as to the true points of attack, they will be upon
us in due time, and we should urge forward eve
ry measure necessary for defence. Wo are pleas
ed to know that this is being done by our milita
ry authorities. Everything is in motion, and
our troops so disposed that a very large force can
be concentrated at any given poiirt at a few
hours’ notice. Carolina and Georgia are nobly
co-operating and making common cause against
the enemy. Land where he may, he will have
to march over the dead bodies qf citizens of both
States before he can obtain a foot-held upon our
soil.
We learn that Gov. Pickens telegraphed yes
terday to our Mayor, offering any assistance that
may be needed, while our own authorities have
tendered fifteen hundred troops to South Caroli
na, in case Charleston or Port Royal should be
attacked.
We are rejoiced to see the spirit with which our
entire people, old and young, male and female,
contemplate the prospect of an early measuring
of arms with tho foe. There is no fear, no ex
citement, but a firm, yet quiet resolve, to dispute
his march, even to the last ditch and to (he de
duction of the last man. They ratiier rejoice
that the time has probably come when Georgians
shall have an opportunity for doing their share
at home in the great work of Confederate inde
pendence. We welcome the lbe to our shores
and we shall give them at least, “hospitable
graves.”
j?S&~The Boston Courier says the following
petition is being circulated and signed in Massa
chusetts :
“To the President and Cabinet of the United
States : We, the undersigned citizens of Massa
chusetts, respectfully pray that the Government
take some immediate measures to procure the
exchange or release from imprisonment of those
soldiers of the Federal army now held as pris<t
ners of war by the rebels.”
Southern Seaports —“Rat-holes.”—A
Northern paper says:
Lieut. Bankhead recently stated that between
Savannah and Fernandina, Fla., there are no
less than six good entrances, with excellent an
chorages, and with as much water as there is on
Savannah bar, not blockaded. The passes com
municating by water inland with SavAnnah,
Ga., Beaufort, N. C., Brunswick and Darien,
all of which are cototn ports", are Wessau, Ossabau,
Great and Little Lapelo, Doboy, Hampton creek,
Altamaha, St. Simon’s and St. Andrew’s. With
the exception of Altamaha and Hampton, these
entrances have at least from twelve to fourteen
feet at low water. In Louisiana we find five
mouths to the Mississippi; along the Florida
coast hundreds of little indentations into which
small crafts can run from Cuba or the Bahamas,
and the North Carolina coast is full of “rat
holes,” and has a double line of coast.
The Boston Traveller, in noticing this says :
It i3 the opinion of nautical men that it would
be of no ava : l to attempt to seal this coast by
any such obstructions, as new inlets would be
immediately formed by the action of the tide
and currents. By the way, these “ rat-holei,”
as they are deprecatingly called, are in many
cases better passes for the vessels than the regu
lar port of entry.
Anecdote of Gen. E yaks.— A Yankee pris
oner told Gen. Evans at Leesburg that the South
could Dot triumph in this war unless they were
prepared to “wade knee deep in Northern blood.”
The General replied that we were willing to go
breast deep, only leaving our arms free to hew
down our enemies.
The New Table of Currency. —The old
table of school boy days, “ten mills make one
cent ; ten cents one dime; ten dimes one dollar,”
is played out. A dime or a dollar in hard spel
ter, is a sight good for diseased opties, and a five
minutes sgiht of ten dollars in specie would cure
the most hopeless case of Asiatic cholera. But
we have anew tabie of currency, and it is pub
lished here free of charge, for the benefit ol
those who choose to cut it out and paste it up
for reference:
10 omnibus tickets make half adollor.
5. Schelke’s beer tickets make a man drunk
—if invested in “lager.”
10 Krost’s beer tickets make onecity shinplas
ter.
1 handfull of shinplasters (With the pictures
worn off) make a man cuss.
10 half dollars make a fool of a poor man.
25 beer tickets (Schelke’s or Krost's) make
half a cinq.
40 beer tickets, 10 omnibus tickets, 1 bandfull
of shinplasters and nary half dollar, make an
honest man steal If thev don’t we should like
to know what will.—iY. O. Delta.
