Vessel Beached on Cumberland and then Burnt by the

The following dispatch was received in this
city last night by the Cuban telegraph, says
the Savannah Republican:
Fernandina, Dec. 15.
This morning an unknown vessel was seen
making tor this bar. The blockaders attempt
ed to cut her oif. Finding no salvation, the
vessel beached herself on Cumberland Island,
about six miles north of this bar. The crew
took to their boats and are supposed to have
got safely ashore. The enemy fired some four
or six shots at her while aground. A detach
ment was sent to their aid from this place.—
Have not heard whether the crew got safely
ashore or not.
Later— The enemy’s launches boarded the
vessel, and after an unsuccessful attempt to
get her off, they fired her and returned to the
blockade.
Soi.'ik Carolina Money.— We understand
that a report has gained credence in this city,
to the etfect that the Charleston banks have
been ruined by the late fire in that city, and
that their bills are, in consequence, worthless.
Some ofour citizens have been making tinnec
cessary purchases, in order to get rid of their
South Carolina money. We pen this para
graph for the purpose of assuring them that
there is no cause whatever for alarm. The
South Caro’ina Banks, and the Augusta Banks,
are as sound as they ever have been, and it is
the height of folly for holders of their bid's to
become panic stricken, and throw away their
money.— Ang. Cos st.
Important from Washington— lmportant in

and appearances seem to indicate that such was
the intention. All the troops destined for the

cupied Little Bethel in force. This is believed
to be in accordance with Gen. Magruder’s pro

that they will be gratified befere they are many

Lin («iiu Emancipation Policy in tb« Border Slates.
A dispatch from Washington to the New York
Times describes the utmost alarm among the
members from Western Virginia, 'Kentucky and
Missouri as to the result of the recently declared
policy of Lincoln and Cameron to emancipate
the slaves of the Confederates. The dispatch
says: “the deepest utmost excite
ment prevails among the Union members of Con
gress from Western Virginia, Kentucky and
Missouri in regard to the future policy of the
Administration. The most prominent among
them, aDd those who have labored most earn
estly from the beginning against the Southern*
rfebeilion, declare that the inagurntion of theab
•litiou policy of the war, and a movement look
ing to the arming of the slaves, will instantly
throw the three States named into the Southern
Confederacy and annihilate the great National
armies in Kentuoky and Missouri —in fact, all
National organization west of tho Alleghany
Mountains."
A letter of a recent date from Tennessee,
received by a gentleman of our city on Saturday
last, 3tate* “that the excitement in East Tenuea
see growing out of the burning of the bridges a
short time since, has subsided. The Government
had placed guards of soldiers on the remaining
bridges to protect the property. West Tennes
see had nobly redeemed the disgrace with which
her children in the East had tarnished her fair
fame. Our Governor, Harris, is a true Southern
man.” The letter goes on to state that the
writer was informed by an ofiioer employed on
the defences of Columbus, Kentucky, that tko
place is impregnable. The river ts dotted vutU
sub-marine infernal maschines, which at the
touch of a finger will annihiliate any Federal ves -
sel that may be bold enough to float over them.
The people, the writer further adds, are deter
mined to re-enact the drama of Moscow, should
the enemy gain possession of Columbus. Char.
Courier, 17 th-
With reference to the Confederate strength on
the coast, a dispatch from New Y T ork says: .
“There are about twelve thousand North and
South Carolina end Goorgia troops on the rail
road to Savannah, and about five thousand in
Charleston. Most of the South Carolina regi
ments are still in Virginia. Five gunboats are
building at Charleston. They are confident at
Charleston that they can gather forces enough
to rnuet us at any poiut on the main land thty
may chuuse.”
The Missouri Republican makes the following
ridiculous and unwarranted boast, which shows
how the people of 'he North are imposed upon:
The national tL*g now lfoats over the oi
every seceded State except Alabama and Aik.m
sas. Tn V’ rgiuia ii tioais over one-third of tLe

Ship Island; in Louisiana at Chandeleur Island;
in Texas at El Paso: and in Tennessee at Bris*

Cottov. —In years past the planters manifested
great anxiety in gathering their cotton, but this
year there appears to be great apathy on tiie sub
ject, and planters do not care whether it gath
ered or not. Heretofore, with fine weather and
a fine picking season like the present, the eotten
on the hill holds would be very nearly gathered
by this time. We are told the fields remain while
with the staple. This indifference is no doubt
caused by the want of n market, and our enemies
may learn from it the. firm determination of the
people never to allow'them to profit by ouri rop-*
until they end the war.— J ie.h*hvrg M hup
