From Tybee.—A large steam transport came
ovei the bar on Saturday afternoon, and on yes
terday about one thousand troops were on Tybee
Island. Parties of them havirg approached
the upper end of the Island, and growing rather
bold in their movements a shell was thrown at
them from Fort Pulaski, which caused them to
scatter precipitately. The large vessel hereto
fore mentioned as ashore near the light-house, is
still in the same position, and the Yankees were
seen casting something trow her yesterday.
Eighteen of the enemy’s vessels were inside
the bar yesterday afternoon—three of them are
warsteainers, and most of the balance appear to
be old hulks, such as compose the Y'ankee stun
fleet. — Sav. Be]*' 9//t.
From Tybee. —We learn by the Ida that the
entire Lincoln fleet off Tybee, except two steam
ers, had all sail set yesterday forenoon, appar
ently getting ready for sea; but from some cause
failed to go out. The Yankees on the island
can be seen from the Fort mounting picket
guard every morning, and yesterday the garrison
seemed vastly amused over a dog-fight on the
beach —very appropriate employment for the
brutes.
It is thought the two old vessels run ashore
some days ago were intended to form a tempo
rary wharf for their small boats to land at, —
Savannah Republican , HP/i.
A True Patriot.
Charles B. Rouss, of Winchester Virginia,
dispatched an agent lately to the Salt Works
in South Western Virginia, to buy one thou
sand sacks. Owing to destruction of bridges
and other causes, the order was delayed, and
the following correspondence will tell ihe
story :
SI'RAKBIJRG, Nov. 28, 1861.
C. B. Rouss: —There are one hundred sacks
of salt hereof yours, and I am offered one
thousand dollars for it. Answer.
JOHN FLEMING.
Winchester, Nov. 1 28, 1861.
John Fleming Ten thousand dollars would
not buy it.
C. B. ROUSS.
The Winchester Republican continues:
On the arrival of the salt at Winchester, and
before it was unloaded from the wagon, Mr.
R. was ottered fourteen dollars per sack for
the lot, but he refused the tempting bait, on the
ground that he ghad purchased it for accom
modation, not speculation. The entire lot of
salt was disposed of at five dollars per sack,
no purchaser being allowed more than one
sack.
Mr. Rouss lias been equally liberal and
Christ-like in the article of sugar, disposing
of many hogsheads at half what lie might have
got for it. Ilis reward is sure.
Catastrophe at Paducah. —The mammoth
wharf-boat, at Paducah, belonging to D. G.
Fowler & Cos., which had been seized by the
Lin collides, and used as a depot for commis
sary stores, sunk at the landing, a few days
since, with about 800 tons of sugar, coffee,
flour and provisions generally. The Lincoln
ites charge that it was scuttled by the “secesh
ers.” They should keep a better watch in fu
ture, and we understand there are a few more
left in Paducah only waiting for a similar op
port unity Ap.
The Right thing done at Last. —A despatch
from Knoxville to the Louisville Courier says
the notorious Wm. G. Brownlow has been arres
ted and imprisoned to await his trial for treason.
Brownlow is ambitious of being made a martyr,
and has done everything he well could to pro
voke this result. He should be tried and hung
if found guilty. This is -a country where free
dom of speech and opinion is guaranteed, but
when a man abuses a legal right, and prostitu
tes it by stirring up rebellion and making war
upon his government, it is perfectly just and
consistent that he be punished for the act.
The Mortality at Pickens. —A dispatch
was received in this city on Saturday last from
a naval officer at Pensacola, which may throw
some light on the harm done to the enemy in
the late engagement. It says that a deserter
from Fort Pickens reports that sixty-three men
were killed, and a large number wounded in
the fort by Gen. Bragg's fire, and that General
Brown himself is among the wounded. What
credit is due to the statement we are unable to
say.— Sav. Rep.jMh,
Floyd’s Brigade. —A report, says the Rich
mond Dispatch of the 6th, is current that Gen.
Floyd’s command has been ordered from Wes
tern Virginia to another important post of duty.
The State op Europe.—The summing up of
the latest foreign advices gives a view of a most
disturbed state in European affairs. Hungary
is threatening an outbreak; Poland is revolu
tionary ; Austria has trouble enough pending ;
the Czar of all the Russians is unhappy, with
j good reason: Italy is ready for war, and Gari
! baldi may set about it. This the Chicago Tri
! bune pronounces a very sufficient reason why
j foreign powers maintain quiescence as to Arneri-
J „an difficulties,

Our Defenses and Resonrees.
The Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer, referring
to some queries which lately appeared in the
Charleston Courier, adds:
“It has surprised us that spirits turdentine
and rosin were nut used. !o repel the Yankee
A 1
fieet from Port Royal—indeed it surprises us
that they are not now used. Thousands and
tens of thousands of barrels of both would
have been well applied, and might still be well
applied to that purpose. We remember that
some years ago a single barrel of spirits turpen
pentine burst on the deck of a steamer at. New.
bern; it ran from the deck into the water below;
a fireman threw into the water some live coals
from his furnace; the spirits floating up the sur
face caught, and set fire to the boat, which was
consumed, and we believe other vessels also. —
What hindered the Port Royal people from
emptying a thousand barrels of spirits and set
ting the whole bay and Y'ankee fleet on fire? or
from sending down old hulks filled with burning
rosin among the fleet? The water which the
Y ankees might throw upon the rosin would only
make the flame more fierce. There is an old
adage that one should “fight the devil with fire."
Such measures would come as near filling this
injunction as anything that can be done upon
this earth.’’
Sentiment in the Forthwest.
The following is an extract from a letter re
ceived from a town in lowa, by a gentleman in
Memphis, which the Memphis Appeal is allowed
to publish. The writer says:
“There is a very large party throughout the
North that would be glad to have peace as soon
as possible —in any way and upin any terms. A
good many are beginning to come to their senses,
now that it is too late, only to find that this war
is goiug to ruin us all throughout the North*
while its tendency appears to be only to put the
North and South further apart than ever be
fore. Business here is at a perfect standstill—
everything has stopped; there is no money; the
produce of the country cannot l»e sold at any
price, and all here have about arrived at the con
clusion that we are all going to ruin as fast as
possible. The policy of every one is to contract
and try to wind up affairs gauerally as suou as
they can.
Where the end is to be, no one can foresee.
The blockade of the river was intended to ruin
the Sonth, but we now discover that it is ruin
ing the North and rendering the South indepen
dent of us fbr their supplies, which they find can
be raised on their own soil."
The Y’ankeks Picking Cotton —A Wash
ington dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune says:
The soldiers at Beaufort and the slaves on the
island, will soon be picking the ungathered cot
ton ; the former under an order from the Govern
ment, and the latter under the impulse of wages*
directed to paid to them by Gen. Sherman
It is also probable that the cultivation of the
sea island, for the next cotton crop, will be con
tracted for by some responsible Yankee who
will be required to employ the slaves aban
doned by their masters, upon the several plan
tations.
The Slave Trade Question. —We are advi
sed that there has been introduced in secret ses
sion of Congress a bill to put down the slave
trade, and prohibit the in portation of negroes
from Africa. The intention of the bill is to carry
into effect the section of the Provisional Consti
tution requiring Congress to pass such laws as
shall effectually prevent the importation of Afri
can negroes from any foreign country other than
the slaveholding States No action has as yet
been taken by Congress on the su piece.— Rich
mond Examiner.
Quotation from Russell. —The following
is a quotation from Russell’s last letter :
“I am assured, if the Northerners succee ‘
in landing at any port in the South, the plan,
ers. as a proofof their determination, and as .
punishment for lion-recognit.on, will lay theii
cotton itt flames on every acre of their soil
threatened by an enemy. I, who have seen
the fierce healings of that fervid Southern
heart, can well believe in a cotton Moscow—
nobody here does. They all believe in dollars;
they are satisfied the planters will yield to so
many cents per pound for cotton. Stand by,
and let us see."
News from Augusta via New York —A
correspondent of the New York World writes as
follows from Hilton Head :
1 learn from an unquestionable authority that
a panic has reigned in Savannah ever since our
victory. The women and children have left the
city and Hod into the interior of the State, aud
so great was the influx of strangers into Augusta
that.the Mayor has issued a proclamation against
farther immigration, and hundreds of families
are now camping around that city.
A gentleman who was in Cairo when
the troops who had been in pursuit of Jeff
Thompson returned, says they swore worse than
the “army in Flanders,’’ and declared that Jefl’s
boys had cost the United States $2,000,000 in
specie, besides several thousand dollars worth
of property captured, They also said that he
had dodged them three times after being hemmed
in, without half an effort.
