The Savannah News of the olst says :
A rumor was brought to the city by pas
sengers on the Charleston Railroad on Satur
day last, stating that a party of South Caro
linians had atta ked a Federal picket on Fri
day last, on North Ed is to Island, killin.
three, wounding others and capturing about
twenty.
Since the above has been in type we learn
from a passenger who arrived in this city
last evening, that the brush alluded to is
correct. The Carolinians surprisr*! the Fed
eral, who were in a house, and took the
whole party, with their arms, together with
thio-* pieces of cannon. They also took a
quantity of new Federal uniforms. Our in
formant says he saw the Federal? in Charles
ton. One Carolinian was slightly wounded.
Ihe Carolinians found one Federal too sick
to be removed, and left him. All the cap
tured Federal? are Germans.
1 he prisoners say that they were told that
the ( -’arolinians would not fight, and all they
had to do was to invade the State and take
possesion of the property of its citizens, and
that it would be distributed among the Fed
eral army. These poor, deluded fools have
by this time learnt a different lesson.
The Rupublican says:
“ From trust-worthy gentlemen who came
over from the Confederate camp iu South
Carolina yesterday, we learn the following
particulars, which differ, as to cir,•instances,
materially from the first report:
Brigadier-General Evans, of the South
Carolina forces, proceeded with 1,000 men,
Saturday morning last to attack the enemy
at North Kdisto. The force of the Confed
erates proceeded across the causeway. Gen.
Evans expecting to find the enemy about 2,-
>OO strong, but they were between 0,000
1 and 6,000. The Confederates drove iu the
pickets of the enemy killing one, mortally
wounding two, and capturing twenty. The
wounded are not expected to recover. Our
forces retired in good order without receiving
any damage.”

Opiiiion ot ili<* Blockiide.
England is, at this moment, in the un
pleasant position of a neutral, and as a neu
tral she is exposed to a very severe incon
venience. The blockade of the Southern by
the Northern States of America, cuts her off
from the raw material of her very best manu
facture ; it deprives her of an excellent cus
tomer ; it drives her manufactures to short
time, and her operatives to scanty meals and
stinted clothing. “Enquire into the block
ade,” says Lord Derby, “scan it by the strict
rules of international law, and if you cau
find a flaw break t hrough this cobweb which
a selfish power has spun between you and
your prosperity.” Happily, England has
received from the Secretary of Foreign Af
fairs a sounder counsel. In a despatch, da
ted the 15th of February, and which we
published yi sterday. Lord Russell expounds
the true policy of his country with regard
to blockades. Itis a policy which ought to
be adopted for the sake of its wisdom.
These statements, which we have abridged
from Lord Russell’s despatch, seem to us to
embody the doctrines of truth and modera
tion, are evidently founded on the Christian
maxim, that wo should do to others as we
would have them to do to us. M ere we en
gaged in blockading an enemy’s coast, we
could desire no fairer or more equitable rule
to be laid down for the guidance of neutrals
than that which we are prescribing for our
selves. To look rather to the sincerity and
good faith of ttie undertaking, than to acci
dental faults in its performance, to forbear
from specious excuses in order to justify us
in doing that, under the pretence of a res
pect. for public law, which we are urged to
do by a short-sighted view of our own inter
est, is worthy of a great people powerful en
ough to disregard the arts of chicane, and
rich enough to hear without flinching a se
vere cheek to its commercial and manufac
; taring industry. Rut such advice is not
only just—it is eminently wise. We are the
last people vvli'o should do anything to inval
idate the right of blockade, for we know not
when we may be compelled to resort to it,
or how soon a hasty policy might recoil up
on ourselves. England is too great to be
often neutral, and should not forget that the
arguments she might now employ against
her neighbor might, we know not how soon,
i be returned against herself with all the force
jof admissions. If breaking a blockade could
vitiate it, the greatest wrong would bo in a
fair way to create the greatest right. It is
not well to encourage doctrines which lead
people to acts of violence or fraud in order
to build upon them a claim of right and of
justice.
If we pass from t hese general considera
tions, no policy can be clearer than that of
leaving North and South to settle their dif
ferences without our inierference. What
ever interested writers or speakers may as
sert to the contrary, nothing can be more
sure than that we have hithero osberved the
most absolute neutrality between the North
and South. Let us persevere to the end,
and not give either party the opportunity of
saving that the struggle which tore the
American Continent in two was produced
or terminated by our selfish or iuteiested
intervention. There are symptoms that the
civil war cannot very long be protracted.—
Let its last embers burn down to the last
spark without bciug trodden out by our feet.

“ Reliable,” down on the State train, yes
terday, says that the reported desertion o;
two of the enemy’s regiments in untrue, sev
eral privates from an Indiana regiment, have
recently made their escape through the Ted
eral lines, and joined our ranks. They rep
i resent the disaffection as great among the
troop.:, both on account of the tyranny of the
superior officers, and the manner in which
they have been received by the people.—
I They were led to believe that thousands of
1 nionists in I ennessee would welcome them
las deliverers. Rut, as it is, the universal
i sentiments of the men is against inva
ders, and even the women and children treat
them with the most utter contempt; while

Oaring Exploits of Capt. John 11.
Morgan and ht* Men.
W e have been furnished an interesting
account ot some ot the utiiit exploits of the
gailant and intrepid cavalier, Capt. John 11,
Morgan and his brave men, in the vicinity
G Nashville. His squadron belongs to Maj,
General Hardee's command, and he was left
in commanded the post at Murfresboro’, and
to watch the movements of the enemy.
On the Till inst., in the afternoon, Capt.
Morgan, Lieut. Col. llobt. Wood, (who ac
companied him as an amateur,) sos Capt.
M men and ten Rangers, mii! I** miles
tjwnrd Nashville, avoiding the pike, en
camped that night, and early the next morn
ing, entered the Federal lines under the di
rection of good guides. They were forced
to pass within a half a mile of a camp of
Federal Cavalry and captured 5 men of the
13th Ohio regiment (Col. Smith) with their
Enfield rifles. Continuing their march to
ward Nashville, they took position near the
Lunatic Asylum commanding a full view of
the turnpike. Soon a train of wagons, with
a guard, appeared in sight; whereupon Col
Wood, the Captain and four of his, men clad
in l . S. oveicoats, rode up stopped the train,
captured 23 prisoners, and cutting loose the
horses and mules from the wagons mounted
the prisoners on them and sent them back
to our men iu the woods. T his operation
was repeated till the prisoners numbered 98,
including the aid of General Dumont and
j-overal other officers.
The prisoners were divided into three
squads under separate guards, and all started
to return to Murfresboro’. Lieut. Owens
and ten men, having sixty prisoners in charge
were attacked and pursued by the Ith regi
ment of Ohio cavalry. The pursuit contin
ued fifteen miles and the prisoners having
been abandoned, the Lieutenant and six of
his men eluded their pursuers by leaping
their horses from a steep bank into the river
and swimming across. The enemv declined
to emulate their daring example. The oth
ei four men, to avoid capture, turned into
the woods and at last (recounts they had not
been heard from. The enemy fired several
shots at the party, but without effect. Two
officers among the prisoners resisted and were
shot.
Col. M ood and fifteen men, with ten pris
oners, went across the country passing with
in a mile of the Federal cavalry reached the
vicinity ot Murfreesboro’ that night.
Capt.. Morgan was returning alone, to
wards M ui freesboro, and encountering a pick
et ot six men, captured them and their arms.
This is said to have been accomplished in
this manner. He discovered the picket in
a house, and having on a Federal uniform,
or perhaps overcoat, assumed a bold front,
and with the confidant air of a Federal offi
cer, rode up to the picket and rebuked the
officer in command for not attending proper
ly to his duty, ordered him to give up his
arms, whic.i he did. He then directed him
under penalty of death, to call tlie men one
by one and surrender their arms, which was
done—and all surrendered. One of Mor
gan s men, named JSpalding, joiued hiiu with
tour other prisoners, and they came up with
Col. \\ ood and his party next morning, and
all returned to Murfresboro, with thirty-eight,
prisoners who were sent on to Salisbury, X.
(’. for confinement.
The fruits, finally reaped from the expedi
tion, were 38 prisoners and a large number
of horses, mules, pistols, sabres, harness,
saddles, \e., together with the knowledge
that the whole force of the enemy was about
65,600, that they posted a regiment of cav
alry about 8 miles from Nashville on the
Murfreesboro’ pike, and gave no indications
of a further advance.
The above account, is obtained from an
authentic source. These and many previous
exploits of (’apt. Morgan and his men indi
cate a daring bravery and patriotism worthy
of the best days of the revolution of 177 b.

Tlie Siim'tider of St. Augustine to
tlie Federal^.
We conversed with a gentleman yesterday
who passed the Federal pickets at St. Au
gustine, going in and coming out, unobserv
ed. He gives us the following information :
The Yankees, leaving their gunboat out
side the bar, approached the city in a barge,
about, forty in number, with a flag of truce
and American ensign flying. The surrender
of the city and the keys of the fort were
demanded, with the notice that iq the event
at refusal the vessels outside would proceed
to shell them. The city council was imme
diately convened, and, after deliberation, the
keys were delivered to the Federal officer in
command of the barge.
The collector of the port, Mr. P. Arnou,
was arrested and kept on board the Wabash,
four days, when, giving up the custom house
books and papers, and disclosing where the
apparatus of the St. Augustine light house
and the Cape Canaveril were concealed, he
was released.
John Capo, a pilot of St. Augustine was
pressed into the Federal service, on informa
tion o-iveu them of his vocation aud wherea
bouts, by the traitors who seem to be by no
means few in the Ancient city. He was
used to bring in one of their gunboats, which
now lies in the stream opposite the city.—
Site mounts two guns on each side and a
pivot gun —making five in all.
No country resident is allowed to leave
the city to return to his place without a pass,
which was grauted upon bis taking an oath
that should ho leave he will take up St. Au
gustine as his home and r,o citizen is allowed
to leave without swearing that be will
return.
On Monday last the Catholic Priest and
the Episcopal Minister, were notified that
unless they desisted from praying for Jeff’.
Davis and the Southern Confederacy, they
should be sent to Fort Lafayette.
Some of the ladies who appeared on the
streets wore miniature Confederate flags in
their bosoms. One of them confronted a
Federal officer, telling him that though there
were uq men left io the town who bad the
spirit or manliness tc defy them, there were
women who would.
Ihe Federal? appeared to know all the
movements of our people about Bt. A. pre
vious to their arrival. Aud wi/h the infor
mation given by traitors, they knew of the
two companies having left that place but a
short time before for New Smyrna, also
where a small schooner that had run the
blockade was concealed and where the sails
could be found.

A company of thirty horsemen, under Capt.
Owens, awaited their approach, aud then
with steady aim and rapid firing succeeded
in killing forty, mortally wounding two, and
taking one prisoner—the remaining nine of
tlie fifty-two that wore sent made their escape
to their gunboat. Tlie negro pilot that
brought them in was also captured and im

hundred men in actual fight. The Y ankees
bad eighteen thousand engaged, and twelve
thousand in reserve.
(Jen. Jackson’s Confederate force was,
altogether, six thousand, one regiment of

ARRIV AL OF THE STEAMER HANS A.
New \ork, March 24.—The steamship
llansa has arrived, with Liverpool dates to
March 12th.
In the House of Lords, Lord Campbell
called attention to the inefficiency of the
blockade of the Confederate ports, and moved
for the correspondence on the subject. Rus
sell replied to the proof advanced by Lord
Campbell of the inefficiency of the blockade,
and recounted the continued efforts which
had been made by the North to render ir
effective. He said that he considered that
the want of cotton in the English market
was the best test that the blockade was not
an empty one. He added that the removal
of the old feeling between the Noitli and
the South was impossible, and lie hoped that
the North would consent to a peace!id sepa
ration of the Southern States. He said, that
he t.usted, that within three months the
war would close, leaving emancipation pos
sible to be effected by gradual and peaceful
means. He said also, that no iormal com
munication had been made by the Trench
Government in regard to the inefficiency ot
th.e blockade.
Bogus Mii itary Chaiuctkrs.—We see by our
Richmond exchanges that since the declaration o!
martial law there, a number of bogus military cha
racters who, since the beginning ol the war, had
been curvetting on fiery steeds, dressed cap a pie
in grav uniforms and hussar caps, have been ar
rested and imprisoned. Alluding to the matter,
the Examiner says :
Besides the fraud they are practicing on the

The folio.ving petition was received and referred
to the Finance Committee:
To (he honorable Manor and
< ’onnol of Mio-oit :
the underxigned practicing physicians of
the city ol Macon, feel it due to ourselves, and
the citizens generally, to express our opinion i0
relation to the condition and necessities of the
poor.
In ISGo, and for some years previous, a ci'v
physician whs appointed -which, in our judgment,
was tight and proper- -hut a this plan did not
s cem Ihiii to give i-ali fat litm, umr honorable
body abolished the office.
In 1 H<> 1, tlie Council requested the physniins
to attend the poor, promising to pay for all medi
cines prescribed by them, which was cheerfully
acquiesced in and performed in good .aith on oiu
part.
This year your honorable body thought proper
to repeal this ordinance, the effect of which has
been and is now to pl.u e the whole burden and
expense on the medical profession. We feel this
to he unjust, and too great a tax upon us to give
gratuitously our personal attention and furnish
medicines besides, especially since the pauper
practice has largely increased for the past twelve

In view of the true interest of the poor and
the character ot the city, we would most r«-spect
fully recommend that you pay such a salary n
will command the services of a competent physi
cian, or pay the profession generally an amount
sufticieut to cover expenses, (since medicines have
within the past few months advanced from two to
five hundred per cent.,) or adopt such other mea
sores as in your judgment would accompli-h the >
desired object.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
