Pocotaligo, Nov. 8, 10 P. M.
Gen Drayton and his command retreated in
two steamers by way of Pope’s Ferry in safe
ty, and are now at BlufHon. The last report
ol the casualities received here, makes the
number between thirty and forty. Gen. Dun-
Dovant retreated by way of Lady’s Island and
Beaufort, to Port Royal Ferry. This morning
Capt. Hamilton took oil' a company at Sam’s
Ferry, and landed with Ins company at Port
Royal. They are now at Pocotaligo.
Beaufort, probably, will not be burned. A
great deal of cotton on the Islands will fall into
the hands of the enemy. BlufHon will be
burned, if attacked.
The points of danger now are, tho railroad
at Pocotaligo, Charleston and Savannah.
Latest Hews from the Coast
We copy the following items of interest from
the Savannah Morning News.
LATEST REPORTS FROM PORT ROYAL.
With the exception of some interesting details
of the battle of Port Royal on Friday, we have
very little news of importance from the scene
conflict.
It was reported in the city on Sunday morn
ing that the fleet had left the vicinity of Port
Royal. Late and reliable intelligence assures
us that the report is unfounded, and that the
whole of the fleet is still off that port.
Our latest intelligence is that the Federals
were landing troops and throwing up fortifica
tions.
Two soldiers belonging to Col. Stiles' Regi
ment, Bartow Avengers, from Murray county,
arrived in this city at 6 o’clock, Sunday morn
ing, and report that the Federals were cautiously
landing at Hilton Head, near Fort Walker, in
serf boats. As soon as they landed they formed
in companies and advanced. Our informants
saw the Federals, and at one time were within a
few hundred yards of them.
The negroes on the Island, with whom our in
formants conversed, all express a desire to es
cape, and supplied our troops while they remain
ed on the island with provisions. The negroes
were waiting for their owners to return to the
the island with boats to convey them away.
It is also reported that fires are seen in va
rious parts of the Island, indicating that the
planters have set fire to their crops.
RETURN OF THE LEESBURG.
The anxiety felt in the community yesterday
for the safety of the steamer Leesburg was hap
pily terminated by her arrival with all her com
mand and freight, and additional stores rescued
from the abandoned camp at Braddock’s Point.
From a gentleman who accompanied the ex
pedition wo learn that the Leesburg, loaded with
artillery, horses, quartermaster and commissary
stores and ammunition, left at nine o'clock on
Thursday night, under command of Capt. Geo-
Robertson, C. S. A., Assistant Commissary in
Gen. Lawton’s staff, for the use of the Georgia
troops at Fort Walker. Capt. J. P. Brooks hav
ing volunteered his services, was entrusted with
the sailing orders of the adventurous expedition.
By way of creeks known only to a few pilots,
Capt. Brooks took the steamer to a safe point at
wh-ieh to anchor until morning. During the
night a boat passed them rowing towards Sa
vannah, which being hailed, answered that all
was right; the fleet had all gone to sea again.
The report was not believed, and suspicions be«=
ing aroused as to the character of the boat’s crew
a sharp watch was maintained by the officers in
person during the night.
At daylight, getting under way, the steamer
was cautionsly steered to Broad River, west ot
Hilton Head Island. Here parties of fugitives
from the Island were picked up from boats of
every size by the steamer, some of whom were
from Craddock's Point Batterv and some from
Fort Walker.
Here the otficers were informed of the result
of the battle. It being ascertained that the
navigable waters about Hilton Head Island
were in possession of the enemy, and the offi
cer in charge having been present at theopen
ingof the fight, and witnessed the remarkable
speed and light draft of some of the enemy’s
vessels, and it having been ascertained that
; our troops had returned to Savannah in the
| night, the Leesburg landed on terra forma the

$5 PER ANNUM.
Carolina troops, of whom the principal portion
were from Braddock’s Point, under Capt. Elli
ot. She ran down to the Point, and hav
ing established a bright lookout, took off from
the abandoned battery some three or four box
es of new muskets, a quantity of Quartermas
ter and Commissary stores, and all the per
sonal baggage and equipments of the troops,
which they had been unable to remove. The
tents being at a great distance, and the steamer
being heavily loaded with munitions of war, it
was not considered advisable to wait to remove
them in waters which were now open to the
enemy’s tleet. The steamer, therefore, return
ed to the city to the great relief of the com
munity, who believed from her long delay that
she had unwillingly been carried into the ene
my’s hands.
Letter From Pensacola,
Correspondence Mobile Reg. and Adv.
Pensacola, Tuesday evening, Nov. G.
A boat, with a white Hag came over yester
day from Col. Brown. Her mission will rejoice
the hearts of all who have kinsmen and friends
whom the chaneesofbattle flung into the hands
of the enemy on the 9th ult., and whom we
thought had several weeks ago sailed for New'
York. The day after the fight they were taken
aboard the frigate Colorado, where they have
remained ever since, and some of them in view
of their camps and comrades. Poor fellows,
how they must sigh at the sight of their sol
dier homes, and long with their late comrades
roifUdthe camp fire to talk and “fight their bat
tles o’er.”
On Saturday and Sunday they were permit
ted to write and their letters brought over, as
above stated. Their contents are of a person
al character, not being allowed to communi
cate any information concerning the enemy.—
They speak of their treatment as kind, even to
generous hospitality.
The Montgomery papers mention that more
troops are on their way to this place and Mo
bile, and the report is strengthened from the
long train of empty cars that left here this
morning for that point. By Friday or Saturday,
if it should be necessary, battalions from this
place could reach Mobile from Pensacola, by
the Great Northern railroad, in a few hours —a
“stocked hand” for Old Abe when the game
opens.
A steamer and a small schooner jotned the
fleet this morning. The first is, probably, a
gun boat) the latter a transport.
Cheap Coffee,
In these war times it is quite an object to make
economical investments in this article, but aside
from this, the coffee that you make from this
receipe will be found far superior to the very
best you can get anywhere, either North or South
and those who give it a fair trial will be un
willing to go back even to the best Java.
Tak#sweet potatoes and after peeliDg them,
cut them up into small pieces about the size of
the joint of your little finger, dry them either in
the sun or by the fire, (sun dried probably the
best) and then parch and grind the same as coffee.
Take two thirds of this to one third of coffee to a
making.
Try it, not particularly for its economy but
for its superiority over any coffee you ever
tasted.
Hay.— Until the present autumn we never
saw a bale of native hay in Montgomery. Our
people have depended upon the freesoil States
for this commodity—but the thing is changed.—
Wagons now daily roll into the city from the
surrounding country laden with hay. We hope
this fashion will be kept up hereafter, blockade
or no blockade.
The above from the Montgomery Mail closes
with a very sensible hose, in which we heartily
join. Home-grown hay is now a frequent com
modity in our streets; and it did us good not
long since to get the scent of new made hay, as
a stalwart mower was swinging his scythe in the
Court House yard of our city.
Yankee Prisoners. —The number of Yankee
prisoners captured and brought to this city since
the commencement“of the present war is 3,685f
of which number 500 have been sent for safe
keeping to forts in Louisiana, 1,600 to castle
Pinckney, in Charleston Harbor, and 150 to Co
lumbia, South S. C. The numbers now remain
ing at Richmond, in the different cotton factories
is about 1,900. Some half dozen factories are
devoted to the accommodation of the Hessians —
sick and well. — Richmond Examiner, A.
An Extraordinary Devil. —The editor of
the Sequatchee Herald has anew “devil”—as
indispensable appendage about a printing office
whom he thus describes:
Our new devil is a very eccentric man. He
is about thirty-one years of age ; has been a
school teacher, clerk, telegraph operator, black
smith, doctor, lawyer, and now he commences
to learn the printing buisness.
P. S.—Since writing the above we learn that
our devil run as brakesman on the Memphis and
Charleston Railroad. He stuck three days and
then retired with his usual dignity. We have
been favored with a sketch of his financial exper
ience daring that eventful three days railroading.
The question is how long would it have taken
him tc get rich ? Read :
