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.” [From the London Times.) TTii<> l.oiiflou Time* on Rii**eir* 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. I..;*!** from ill *. “ 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 the slaves listen to their offers of freedom in suspicions silence, not wishing to be taken from their masters.- Atlanta, Commonwealth, Mar&i 29, 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. We are credibly informed that Ilardce lias urgently recommended him for promotion to Colonelcy. IK merits and should receive it. We understand that he is a son of Mr. Cal vin Morgan, formerly of this city, late of Lexington, Kentucky, and was born here. We feel proud of him as a native of Hunts ville.— Huntsville Democrat. 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. 1 1h j Yankees are in full possession of the St. Johns river, their guuboats having gone up as tar as Ralatka. lilt* steamer Darling ton is used by them as a transport.

Fla. bln Saturday last, ins:., the federal gunboat, which had been despatched to New Smyrna, from information eiven at St. Au gustine that two ( ompanics had gone to that place to protect some arms that had been lan ded there, sent in barges to attack our troop*. 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 mediately hung to a tree The Yankees sent- in a flag of truce to ask permission to bury their dead, which was granted on eon uition that they give up the negroes they had Molon, when seven negroes were soon forthcoming.— Sat\ Rep.

Richmond, March 28. —Dispatches this evening to Governor Letcher, from Staun ton, say Lieut. Judkin M iliiams and Cap tain Monison wore taken prisoners at Man chester. The Confederate prisoners have been sent to Baltimore. ’J he Federal total loss is 2,000 killed and wounded. They are depressed aud badly worsted. The Confederate total k-sa in Filled and wounded is 465 Heavy cannonading was heard at Staun ton, and a battle expected. Our men are confident of success. In Manchester all was quiet lasi night. About 6 o’clock this morning, Col. Ashby, with his cavalry, had a slight brush, aud drove fheenemy back, killing twelve of them. At \ orktown the enemy are advancing in large force. In a skirmish on Thursday, Lieut. AY ray, o' tip Confederates, was killed. Richmond, March 27. —Northern papers ol the 2.)th state that during the fight Jiear \\ inchester, A irginia, on Sunday fast, tlie Federal General, Shields, was struck by a piece of shell in his left arm, which shat tered it so badly that it was found necessary to amputate it. Persons from near AYinchestcr say that (fen. Jackson had not more than thirry-five 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 which was held in reserve, and eighteen hundred did not come up in time to engage in tho battle. Our Government is satisfied with the re sult. The Secretary of War has issued a gener al order for all furloughed uieu to return to duty immediately. Richmond, March ‘2O. —The President lias sent a message into Congress asking the repeal of all existing military laws, and ma king conscript laws instead, He also recom mends a law subjecting every man between eighteen and thirty-five years of age, to mil itary service.

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 public, these popinjay civilians are doing mischief bv increasing the difficulties ot detecting deserters from the army.
