From Tybee.
By the Ida we learn that two large Federal
transports arrived below yesterday, and dur
ing the forenoon sixteen boat loads of troops,
each boat supposed to contain about one hun
dred men, were placed on the Island. It is
supposed that there are now about two thou
sand Federal troops on Tybee. They have
erected a derick near the Marlillo tower, and
yesterday were engaged in landing what ap
peared to be guns. A ritle gun from the fort
threw a few shells among a party of troop son
the beach, when they scattered in double
quick. There are now three war vessels be
low, two of which are frigates. A propeller
went to sea yesterday afternoon. The Fede
rals have a ferry boat with side wheels, which
plies between Tybee and Port Royal Islands.
From their own account, which we publish
in another column from a Northern paper, the
Yankees, after two thorough explorations, hav
ing found the island unoccupied, have deter
mined to colonize it. Will they;be permitted
quietly to take possession of and fortify the
mouth of our harbor ?— Sav. News, 20 th.
The Yankees in the Gulf... Landing on Ship Island.
The Memphis Appeal has the following :
New Orleans, Dec. 14.—The True Delta has
just received intelligence Trom^an .unquestiona
ble source, that over eight thousand Federal
troops have made a landing on Ship Island.—
This advanc e detachment is under the command
of Gen. Butler.
Information has also been received that a
large additional force is hourly expected at that
point.
The programmers announced to be to land the
troops on the Mississippi coast, and march to
Mobile, while the naval force will endeavor to
effect a passage past Fort Morgan, into Mobile
Bay. In the event of success in this movement,
a simultaneous attack, by land arid sea, is ex
pec ted to be made.
The New Orleans Delta of the 15th says :
Three Yankee regiments have been landed on
Ship Island from the transports. They are the
27th and 17th Massachusetts and 7th Connecti
cut, and constitute a portion of Picayune But
ler’s command, the special design of which in
honoring our State with a visit is not clearly un
derstood, but we presume has some reference to
the establishment of fisheries in the waters ad
jacent. The British, in the invasion of 1815, en
camped on this island and found some relief of
the tedium and discomforts of their sojourn in
catching shark. We commend our Yankee
visitors to the same amusement. They will find
it much safer aud more agreeable than any other
sport they can engage in. Should they, how
ever, become weary of the peculiar pleasure and
luxuries of their sojourn on the island, they can
move over upon the main land, when we promise
and insure them as warm a reception as their
predecessors in 1815 received.
The Slaves at Hilton Bead.
The New York Journal of Commerce, speak
ing of the affairs at Port Royal says.
The newspapers have published most exag
gerated accounts of the coming in of slaves at
Port Royal. From several gentleman, who have
recently returned from that port, we learn facts
which are to be relied on as true. The negroes
have come to the fort to sell provisions, poultry,
<ic., and their supplies have been bought. Oth
ers have come from curiosity, and loitered
around awhile, going away again when they
pleased.
About one hundred and fifty remain in the
fort, having been employed to work, receiving
rations and eight dollars per month. The total
number that have come in, ou any and every
pretext, does not exceed three hundred and fif
ty. No indication has been given ts a desire to
accept liberty as a permanency. Their attach
ment to their masters and the iambics to which
they belong does not seem to be diminished,and
there are large numbers, probably thousands of
them in the neighborhood, who have not come
into the fort at all. It is said that a visit to
South Carolina has already opened the eyes ol
many gentlemen, of former abolition inclinations
to some few facts ia slavery.
Pocatali go, December 19.—A gun boat pas
sed by P rt Royal about half-past one o’clock
yesterday afternoon. Our batteries fired and
struck her three limes, upon which she steamed
passed and ran around about three miles the oth
er side of the Ferry. .Upon knowledge of the fact,
the North Carolina Field Battery, under lieuten
ant McElhenney, was ordered to a point oppo
site the gun boat. In the meantime, three flats*
crowded with the enemy, moved from the oppo
site shore, under a sharp fire from one of their
own batteries upon the troops on this side,
namely, Captain West’s Company, of Jones’ Regi
ment j
Lieut. McElhenney’s Battery opened upon the
flats, sinking one ‘and doing great destruction
upon the other two. Night coming on we stop

flood tide.

to the support of Lieut. McElhenny’s Battery,

The Review.
The review of Gen Harrison's Brigade yester
day, on the Parade Ground, in rear of .the city,
was a most gratifying spectacle, and was,witnes
sed with evident satisfaction by a very large
number of our citizens. The corps comprising
the various regiments exhibited a profioienoy of
drill both in the manual and their marching
and field evolutions rarely attained by volun
teers, and w hich we have never seen equaled by
troops who had only been a few months in ser
vice.
The regimental exercises reflected much
credit upon both men and officers. The follow
ing regiments compose General Harrison's
Brigade: , ,
Ist Regiment—Col. C. B. Harkie.
2d Regiment—Col. Wm. Barkuloo.
s:h Regiment—Col. Geo. P. Harrison, Jr.
6th Regiment—tlol. W. Henderson.
Ist Independent Battalion—Maj. W. A. Ross.
Bibb Cavalry—Capt. A, M. Lockett.
The regiments are composed of the flower of
our Georgia yeomanry, head, heart and hand de
voted to the cause of their country, and are offi
cered by patriotic, spirited aud accomplished
officers, who, like the men whom they command,
have left professions, pursuits and the enjoy
ments of home to defend the soil of Georgia from
vandal invasion and pollution. As we beheld
them in martial array, we could but contrast
them with the base hirelings whom they are to
meet, and as we surveyed their manly forms and
looked into their intelligent, resolute faces, we
had at once the explanation why our Georgia
regiments won renown on every field. The State
is unconquerable that has such defenders — Sav,
annah News, 20 th.
Heath of Major Bloom.
We ’deeply regret to announce the death of
Major Franklin S, Bloom, which took place
Thurday night last. Major Bloom had just re
turned from Northwestern Virginia, where he
held the post of Aid to Gen. Jackson, and greatly
distinguished himself for gallantry and good
conduct at the battle of Green Brier. He was
still a member of Gen. Jackson’s military fami
ly and contt mplated joining him in a few days,
after a visit to his friends in Macon. While
here, as soldiers are very liable to do, in the
change from the exposure of camp life to close
houses, he contracted a cold, which settled on
his lungs in the form of pneumonia and carried
him away, after a few days illness.
Perhaps the imijotity of our readers were ac
quainted with the deceased, for he was calculated
to form and maintain a large circle of lriends. His
frank and open manners—his generous disposi
tion —bis joyous temperament —his energy and
public spirit, all were calculated to win him
friends, and none among cur young .men could
boast a more numerous circle.
His untimely death will be mourned by all
who knew him. —Macon Telegraph.
“Nut Yet.” —Under the head of‘"Not Yet,’
the New York World objects to an illumination
in honor of the achievement at Port Royal, for
the following reasons:
It has been suggested in several of the city
journals that an illumination in honor of the
recent naval victory at Port Royal would be a
good thing to do, to show our sense of the im
portance of that success. We object. There
should be no public rejoicings the old flag
floats once more over the walls of fcumter, or un
til Bull Run is avenged on the soil of Virginia.
The nation has shown rare good temper and sell
poise under the defeats and disasters of the last
six months; let us be equally unbalanced by
success. The Port Royal affair is very well in
its way, but we hope it is but a triflie compar
ed with what our navy will yet accomplish
before the close of the war. Let us save the
grease for the cartridges yet awhile longer.
The Rebellion in Upper East Tennessee.
—The Knoxville Register of the 14th publish
es the following note from General VV. K.Cas
wel l:
‘ The rebellion in Carter and John counties
is thoroughly, and I think, permanently sup
pressed. Four or five hundred of the insur
gents have taken the oath of allegiance to the
Confederate States, and are coming in daily
under Col. Ledbetter’s proclamation. A good
„ or** volunteering in our army,
many are °
“They say the insurrection was not to de*
fend the bridge burners, but to defend them
<rlves from the violence which, it was said,
our soldiers threatened. After the insurgents
had assembled, a letter was read to them, pur-
Dorlin" to be from Andy Johnson, at Green-
U °ho had with him 40,000 Federal troopt.
'Now they declare they can no longer be de
ceiv'ed, and will henceforth be loyal citizen, of
t h e Confederate States.
Senatorial Election, —Tames M. Baker,
and A. F. Maxwell, on the 17th in*t, were
elected C. S. Senators from Florida.
