In the Charleston papers of yesterday we
fin 1 the following by way of Norfolk:
Norfolk, Deo. 18.
Late northern papers have been received here
The London Observer of December 1 say s
that it was settled in the Queen’s Privy (council
on the preceding day that an apology must be
demanded, besides the restitution of the envoys
to the British flag. The Observer declares that
they shonld be restored to the quarter deck of
! an English Admiral, at New York or Washing
! ton, in the presence of ten or twelve British men
| of war, whose presence would render the blus
i tering of the Cabinet at Washington as helpless
as was the Trent before the guns and cutlasses
of the San Jacinto.
The London Times says that the condition of
the Northern States is almost identical, in a
commercial pomt of view, with that of Russia
during the Crimean war; that the breaking up
of the blockade of the ports will set
free English industry from anxiety in regard to
a cotton famine, and wili send prosperity to
Lancashire.
The Liverpool Courier says that it believes
the iron clad frigate Warrior has been ordered to
Annapolis, bearing the ultimatum of the English
Government.
The general impression in Europe is ' that war
is inevitable, unless full apology be made.
The English Government has chartered the
steamer America to carry troops and 'artillery to
Canada, She was to sail on the 12rh. The
Melbourne was to have left Woolwich on the 12th
The Orpheus has carried to Canada 30,000 stand
of arms, a large quantity of ammunition and six
Armstrong guns.
Mr. Faulkner says the voice of the North is
for ‘ war to the knife,” and that they are deter
mined not to give up Mason and Slidell. Two
hundred and forty of the prisoners of war have
been discharged from Fort Warren, and sent, to
Fortress Monroe to await exchange.
Ihe northern papers contain dispatches from
all the principal northern cities, showing that the
most intense excitement prevails amongst the
people, who are unwilling that the U. S. Gov
ernment should submit to British bluster.
The C. S. steamer Sumter and the U. S. gun
boat Iroquois are said to have met and had an
engagement. One of the vessels was seriously
damaged and had put into Martinique. We have
n > information as to which of the two vessels
this was.
The War on the Coast.
The occupation of Beaufoit and Port Royal
Island by the enemy, so long expected, has at
length taken place. The force there is supposed
to be about five [thousand men. Several times
during the past week detachments of the Yan
kees have been seen prowling around upon the
main. They have erected a battery near Port
Royal Ferry, armed with 12 12-pounder Parrott
guns, which shoot with great accuracy and effect
at along range. Some of their firing at our out
posts were tine shots and show that they have
artillerists amongst them. Although the senti
nels of the hostile armies have been repeatedly
within a few hundred yards of each other, they
have not so far indulged in picket firing. The
enemy are throwing up strong entrenchments on
Port Royal Island ; and their presence at the
| Ferry has kept our soldiers in that neighborhood
| constantly on the alert. Gen. Pemberton, who
| commands in that vicinity,has under him among
j other troops the regiments of Cols. Jones, Dun
i o vant, Edwards and Martin, the last being eav

\ - egret to learn that typhoid pneumonia,
and omer diseases incident to camp life, are
prevailing to some extent among our soldiers.—
We would suggest that the officers cannot be too
rigid in enforcing such camp regulations as
will conduce to the health of their men. We
are informed that the country commanded by
the enemy may afford them about fifteen hun
dred bales of Sea Island cotton, and that about
three thousand negroes are on the islands in their
neighborhood. The provision crops, which
were good, are ample to sustain the slave pop
ulation for a long period, if undisturbed by the
soldiers. So tar as we can ascertain, the Yan
kees have made no progress to the south and
west of Broad River. It is reported that a
launch belonging to the enemy, and full of men,
was caught up a creek last week. Our jjtrqops
fired into it and killed seven of those on board.

The Lincoln Gunboats at North Edisto.
—On Tuesday afternoon, seven vessels of the
Lincoln fleet appeared off North Edisto Inlet,
four of which soon crossed the Bar and stood
into the harbor, firing shells on both sides as
they came in. Yesterday morning their vessels
came up to Rockville, where a part of the Ri
fle Regiment under command of Col. Branch,
was stationed. On the approach of the ships,
our troops retired from Rockville to a position
some miles in the rear, the detachment only
being placed at the above point to observe the
enemy. It is reported that some sixty men
from the fleet landed and took possession ot
Rockville, but information on this point is un
certain. Until further information is received
it is impossible to say what the enemy intend.
[ Ch. Courier, 9th.
No evidence has been indica
ted to confirm or authorize the belief that the
late great fire was the result of design.— Ch.
Conner.
Badges of Distinction.—The Richmond
correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
writes that Congress has decided to give med
als and crosees of honor to officers and privates
in the Confederate service who distinguish
themselves in action.
The Fleet.—We learn that a lurge steam
ship was seen this morning among the fleet
outside, says the Pensacola Observer of the
14th. It is supposed to be the Baltic bringing
the 75th-New York Regiment, as we reported
by telegraph yesterday.
Timely.—The Savannah Republican, of the
19th inst., says, we have good authority for
stating that a cargo of 2,150 sacks of coffee
has arrived in a Confederate port within the
last week. Three cheers for stone fleets and
Lincoln’s blockades.
Nine vessels of the Lincoln fleet passed
Stono Northward on Wednesday.
“IT IS MORE BLEESEB ”
Give! as the morning that flows out of heaven;
Give! as the waves when their channel is riven;
Give ! as the free air and sunshine are given !
Lavishly, utterly, carelessly give.
Not the waste drops of thy cup overflowing,
Not tlie faint sparks of thy hearth ever glow 7 -
in
Jll o>
Not a pale bud from the June rose’s blowing:
Give as He gave thee,who gave thee to live.
Pour out thy love like the rush of a river
Wasting its waters, forever and ever,
Thro’the burnt sands that reward not the giv
er,
Silent or songful, though nearest the sea.
Scatter the life as the Summer shower’s pour
ing!
What if no bird thro’the pearl-rain is soaring?
What if no blossom looks upward adoring?
Look to the life that was lavished for thee!
Give tho’ thy heart may be wasted and weary,
Laid on an altar all ashes and dreary ;
Thopgh from its pulses a faint miserere
Beats to thy soul the sad presage of fate,
Bind it with cords of unshrinking devotion;
Smile as the song of its restless emotion ;
’Tis the stern hymn of eternity’s ocean ;
Hear ! and in silence thy future await.
So the wild wind strews its perfumed cares
ses,
Evil and thankless the desert it blesses,
Bitter the wave that its soft pinion presses,
Never it ceasesh to whisper and sing.
Y hat if the hard heart give thorns for tl.y
- roses ?
W hat if on rocks thy 7 tired bosom reposes {
Sweeter is music with minor-keyed closes,
Fairest the vines that on ruin will cling.
Almost the day of thy giving is over ;
Ere from the grass dies the bee-haunted clover,
Thou wilt have vanished from friend and from
lover,
What shall thy longing avail in the grave?
Give as the heart gives whose fetter are break
ing*
Life, love and hope, all thy dreams and thy
waking,
Soon, heaven’s river, thy soul fever slaking,
Thou shalt know God and the gift that He
gave.
