T el ©graphic.
Particulars from Port Royal.
We learn from Chief Engineer Harris, and as
sistant Engineer Golden, of the Confederate
strainer Savannah, who left the scene of action
about twelve o’clock M. yesterday, that the
engagement was then, and until the Savannah
got out of sight, going on between the Federal
steamers and Fort Walker on Hilton Head; fif
teen of them had passed the batteries. The
largest steamer was so far disabled, as to require
to be towed into position. The transports kept
out of range of the batteries—that at Bay
Point beirg too far off to do much injury to the
Fleet, and firing only occasionally. The steam
ers were engaging Hilton Head Battery (Fort
Walker) which was doing damage to the fleet;
several of them had been injured in their masts,
Ac. Daring the engagement, the Savannah,
with Commodore Tatnall on board, had received
three shots, one of which, a shell, passed through
the wheel house near the galley, and fell cn the
deck without exploding. It was a ten inch
shell, and was brought up in the Savannah, the
two other shots doing no material injury. Com.
Tatnall afterwards landed with his Marines
and went into Fort Walker, taking with him his
ammunition, stores, Ac. The Savannah return
to Savannah for necessary repairs to her boilers,
a slight injury to them having been sustained
by the concussion of her guns.
A dispatch to the Charleston Mercury, dated
Hardievilie, Nov. 7. says: The practice of our
artillerists at Hilton Head has been very bad,
which accounts for the passage of the enemy’s
vessels. Their transports are still outside. The
damago done is trilling and our men are in good
spirits. The fire of the fleet was very accurate.
Hilton Head, not Bay Point, was the place at
tacked. Our failure has been in the practice of
our artillerists.
One of the vessels, in attempting to give a
broadside to Bay Point, turned her stern to
wards Hilton Head and received three shots
from a rifled cannon in her stern, crippling her,
and on raising a signal of distress was she towed
off by one of their tow boats.
A dispatch to the Charleston Mercury, dated
Beaufort Nov. 7, says: The enemy’s ships passed
our batteries and are in sight of Beaufort.—
Forts Walker and Beauregard are still firing.—
The enemy lost one gun boat, which was burnt;
Shells were observed from here to burst in the
woods, Our communication is cut off complete
ly, unless more troops are sent here with artille
ry. Four ships aie now in sight over the land
and up as far as Skull Creek.
LATEST.
A dispatch dated Hardievilie, Nov. 8, 1 a. m ,
reached us at \V> o’clock this morning, stating
as follows:
“A man just down from towards Bluffton,
says our troops are leaving Fort Walker, their
powder having giveu out, and having no spikes
they leave the guns of the battery open. They
are moving to Bluff ton. Orders have been given
for families to move from near coast.”
A dispatch to the Macon Telegraph, dated
Savannah, Nov. Bth, says: Hilton Head has
been abandoned by cur troops for want of am
munition. Our batteries all taken—our troops
gone on the main land. Our city is greatly ex
cited—no busiuess doing—our troops were
completely routed at Port Royal.
How the Yankees Captured that Cun.—
The Richmond correspondent of the Char
leston Mercury, says:
“You know" Ashby lost a 24 pounder in the
late militia fight near Harper s Ferry. An of
ficer who was present says, that after the gun
had been spiked and abandoned, four compa
nies of Yankees were ordered to seize it.—
They made six or eight charges upon the dead
gun before they took it. Fearing, masked bat
teries, they would break when they got within
twenty yards of it, and fly for their lives.—
Again and again they had to be rallied before
the conquest was completed by a l r ank jump
ing straddle ofthe gun, and the rest screech
ing and hurrahing as if they had taken the city
of Richmond.
Gen. Scott trying to Supercede Gen. Mc-
Clellan.— The New York Ileral says an effort
is being made, under the superintendence of
General Scott, to supercede General McClel
lan with General Halleck, who is on his way
lroiu California to Washington. The Herald
says the change would create anew revolu
tion in in’lUary and eiyie circles, where the
greatest confidence is entertained for General
McClellan.
# - m*
The steamer Swan, which was reported lost
a few days since, turns out to [be a mistake.
She was in the port of Beaufort on the 6th in
stant.
Battle of Leesburg.— The New York Her
ald sums up the Northern losses thus:
“Total engaged in the fight, 1,853: total loss,
953; field officers who crossed, 11, returned un
injured, 3; line officers crossing, 74; returned
uninjured, 40.”
The Herald does not distinguish between the
killed and the captured.

The War Tax
The Augusta papers publish a correspondence
with Judge Starnes, Chief Callector of the War
Tax in Georgia, in which he states, as follows:
When a note or due bill has been taken for
property purchased and is running to maturity,
and is not held as an invesment, then it does n< t
fall under the head of of money at interest But
when such note or due bill has matured, is bear
ing interest, and is not in'proeess of collection,
then it must be included in the category of
money ,afc interost. To your second question,
I answer, that open accounts are not subject to
the tax, unless they are bearing interest, and are
not in process of collection; but held as securi
ties for ‘money at, interest.’ This reply in sub
stance has also been approved.
To your third, I reply that bad or insolvent
debts are not liable to the tax.
And to your fourth question, I answer that
Attorneys at Law are not required to pay the
tax on claims in their hands, for collection,
but their claims, so. far as they are sub
ject to the tax, should be returned by the own
ers.
And again: “I have been asked whether or
not, property owned by a tax payer, situated
in a county different from that of the tax payer’s
residence, may be returned in the eounty of such
residence. To this I have replied, that no pro
perly can be so returned, except wild or unim
proved lands. All other property must be re
turned iu the county where it is located. And
where wild lands are returned in a different
eounty from that in which they are situated, the
tax payer should take a certificate from the as
sessor to whom he has made such return, and
forward that to the collector for the ‘count)
where the lands are situated.
I have also been asked, whether or not, cash
on hand, or on deposite, Ac. was subject to tax
ation, in my opipion, by the terms of Jhe Act.—
To this I replied, that whilst the words and
structure of the act seem to exempt “cash, Ac.”
yet the Department has differently construed the
act, and has placed “cash” in the class of taxa
ble property. The Secretary possibly has rea
son to believe that there has been some error
committed in the engrossment of the Act, and
hence his instruction. I have brought this mat
ter specially to his attention ; and will soon
receive his definite decision upon the point. In
the meantime hie instructions must be followed
by assessors ; and “cash ou hand. Ac.," must b©
returned by the tax payers. Should there be
any modification of his instructions in this res
pect, and a different direction given, Collectors
will be istructed not to collect the tax on this
article.
The Yankees not all out of the Country
Y r et.—lmmediately after the battle of Manas
sas, when jt was announced that Gen. Beau
regard’s horse had been killed under him by
a shell on the battle field, there appeared iu
the newspapers of Augusta, Georgia,* a para
graph stating that a “magnificent grey stallion”
had arrived there for the General, presented to
him by an unknown hand. And it now ap
pears that this Grey Stallion , which was shown
as an object of great curiosity for several
weeks in the streets of Augusta, was a com
plete sell, for having passed gratis on all the
railroads to that point, under cover of being a
j/resent to General Beauregard, he was finafly
sold to the highest bidder. So that South Car
olina has still the right of claiming to be the
first and only State, which has presented that
officer with a war horse.— Charleston Courier.
Fremont Looking out for number one.— A
report prevailed in Washington Friday that Gen.
Fremont was organizing a rebellion in the West
against His Highness the Baboon.
Death of Sam Houston. —Information has
reached Fort Smith, Ark., by Mr Doak, brother
in-law of Major Clark, Commandant at that
post, that Gen. Sam Houston is dead. He is
said to have died about a week since at his res
idence in Texas.
Conederate Bombshells Dangerous at all
Times. —The Port Tobacco (Md.) Times, of Oct.
24, contains the following notice of an accident,
which occurred Dear that place :
“Just as we are going to press, we learn that
on Tuesday last, while some of the soldiers at
tached to the regiment stationed at Budd’s ferry
were examining a bombshell which had been
thrown across the river by the Confederate bat
tery on the opposite side, an explosion took
place, caused by efforts to get out the powder.—
The damage was, we learn, considerable : some
nine or ten men were wounded, one of whom has
since died, and two others likely to die. The
tents and surroundings, it is said, were pretty
much demolished. The Confederate battery must
have very heavy guns, as some of the shells and
solid shot have been found at least one and a
quarter miles frem the shore.”
A supply of Stjge and Red Pepper, which is
much needed in one of the hospitals on the coast.
Housekeepers and gardeners in the vicinity have
an abundance of these articles, and if they will
deliver them at the Republican Office, con
tribution to the sick soldiers, they will be
promptly forwarded. Immediate attention is
requested.— Sav. Rep.
