Sanut Hook, 12th.—The Hansa brings the
Liverpool Times, of the 28th, which contains
an account of the meeting in Liverpool. The
following placard was posted on Change: “Out
rage on . the British Flag ! Southern Commis
sionersforeUtly remaned from, a 'British Mail
Steamer! A public meeting will be held at
thc.Cotton Sales-rootu, at 3 o’clock,”
Tho room was crowded to exoess. The Chair
was occupied by James Spencer, who read the
following resolution r
“Resolved, That this meeting, having heard
with indignation that an American Federal
ship of-war has forcibly taken from a British
mail steamer, certain passengers peaceably tin
der the shelter of our flag, from one neutral
port to another, we do earnestly call upon Gov
ernment to assert the dignity of the British
flag by requiring prompt reparation for this
outrage.*’
The resolution was received with great en
thusiasm, which was adverted to by the Chair
man, who considered himself as expressing the
feelings of the people, when he declared, that
it was the duty of the people, the press and
the government, and an imperative necessity,
to maintain the honor and dignity of the Brit
ish name and flag.
John Campbell, Esq., considered there was
reason to doubt whether the facts related and
acted upon by the meeting constituted in Teal-
ity a breach of international law. He referred
lo the opinion of the law officer of tke Crown
being in Some measure inclined to show that
the step taken with respect tc the Southern
Commissioners was justifiable under the exist
ing state of international law, aud urged the
propriety . of postponing the consideration of
th.e subject until to morrow.
Mr. Low sustained Mr. Campbell’s view.
The Chairman suggested that to meet the
objection of Mr. Campbell, the words“requir
ing prompt reparation - for this outrage” be
stricken out, and thus amended, the resolution
passed almost unanimously:
Several merchants, after the ridjournun nt of
'the meeting expressed the opinion that its ac
tion was premature.

Remarks of Hon. Z. G. Raiford,
f Chattahoochee, in the lloose of Repr op
tatives, on the 14fh - WiiRor,'1861, on tho
message from the Senate refusing to concur
in the House amendment to the $5,000,000
appropriation bill, and the transfer of tho
State troops.
Mr. Whittle, of Bibb, moved that the House
recede from its amendment and concur in the
action of the Senate.
Mr. Raiford said: Mr. Speaker, I hope the
motion of the gentlemen from Bibb will pre
vail. We have had under consideration th : s
vexed question for several days, and until this,
the last day of the session, and the necessary
appropriation is not yet made. Why should
we indulge in this useless contention longer ?
The fact cannot be disguised that in the present
strife, Joe Brown has whipped tho fight. His
purposes are fixed and determined; the people
have gracefully bowed and paid their obeisance
to him, and have acknowledged his supremacy
and power, and this Legislature may as well do
likewise. His power and . authority must be
acknowledged. Sir, he has vanquished -the
Senate and has flanked this House, and gal
lantly as we have fought and firmly maintain
ed the disputed ground, .firing every time the
onset has been made, I warn Representatives
that, having proven victorious over other and
mightier foes, let us take heed lest there should
remain not one of this gallant band to tell the
tale of our defeat. Sir, he has determined to
keep a standing army on tho coast in the pay
of the State, and this Legislature cannot pre
vent him from it And, sir, in’ all this he is
backed by the peopw, and we are left power
less.
If you pass this bill, it being an appropria
tion bill, ho will veto that portion of it turning
over the troops, or if the bill is not passed to
suit him and the appropriation is not made, we
may stay here another week and quarrel over
it, and at last we must shoulder th'e responsi
bility. Why then contend longer? It were
but the madness of folly to contend against
such superior power. Sir, prudence is the
better part ol valor; shall we not then yield at
once—make the unconditional appropriation
and adjourn, or rather 1 should say be allowed
to disband honorably. Why, sir, this question
has been submitted to a jbint committee of pa
triots and Christians, who have considered tho
same with prayer and fasting, and have, alter
mature deliberation, presented a solution and a
just basis of settlement of it worthy the conlia
dunce and support of this General Assembly
and of every body else. Bnt, sir, how has it
been treated? ft has b’-en ignored by His
Royal Highness and tabled !
Why, then ask for another committee of con
ference. I for one am ready to make an uncou
(iitiorail surrender of tho whole matter to the
acknowledged victor,.and I urge upon' gentle
men the propriety of speedy action, lest we be-
further disgraced by an order from his Royal
Highness to this House to disperse.

ther fell.]
THE WAR ON THE SEACOAST.
The occupation of Beaufort and Port Royalls-
land 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 Yankees he.ve
been seen prowling around upon the main.—
They have erected a battery near Port Royal
Ferry, armed with twelve 12-pounder Parrott
puns, which shoot with great accuracy and
effect at a long range. • Some of their firing at
our outposts were fine shots, and show that
they have good artillerists amongst them. Al
though the sentinels 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 Pert 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

The Confederate Victory* in Wz*n»;..
ginia- -A Sevkb.3 Fight—The Enemy Rooted.
—Tho monotony that had prevailed for some
days past was broken on Saturday, by the re
ceipt of official intelligence in Richmond that
the enemy, stationed^on Cheat Mountain, had
sallies out and attacked a small force of our
troops, and were repulsed with heavy loss. Tim
fight took place on Friday last, the 18th instant,
on the Alleghany Mountain, fifteen miles west
of Monterey,to which point tho force remaining
in that vicinity, under Col. Edward Johnston,
had fallen back and encamped.
Tho official despatch received on Saturday
says that the battlo commenced at 7 o’clock in
the iporning, and lasted until 2 o’clock in the
afternoon, when the enemy retreated; that the
Federals numbered 5,000, while Col. Johnston’s
command was only 1,200 strong, but has since
been reinforced by two regiments.
We have private information which mainly
coincides with the foregoing. Our camp, it is
stated, was surprised by the enemy at an early
hour in the morning, but the troops rallied gal
lantly, to their work, and fought with the ener
gy desperation. The troops under Colonel John
ston’s command were portions of the 12th Geor
gia and tho 31st Virginia regiments, Col. Bald
win’s Virginia regiment, and Hansbrough’s ami
Segar’s battollious—in all, probably not much
over 1,200 men. From statements gathered
from two prisoners captured a few days previ
ously, it is presumed that the enemy’s force was
from 3,000 to 5,000. Our loss in the battle is
set down at 25 killed and 75 wounded and miss
ing. Among the killed are the following -.
Capt B. P. Anderson, of the Lee battery, from
Lynchburg; Lieut Lewis S. Thompson, oi the
Marion Guards, a son of Judge Thompson, of
Wheeling.
~ Among the woundod are'Lieut Col. Hnns-
brough ; Capt Geithler, one of Col. Johnston's
aids; and Capt. Mollohon, of the Braxton coun
ty company.
The 31st Virginia regiment, commanded by
Major Boykin, suffered more severely than any
other. This is tho regiment formerly under
Col. Wm. L. Jackson, who was superseded by
Col. Reynolds and resigned, but was reappoin
ted to the command of the regiment on Saturday
last Col. Jackson is now in Richmond.
The enemy left eighty dead on the field, and
their loss in killed and wounded is believed to
be very heavy. It was a desperate fight
Col. Edward Johnston, under whose com
mand the battle was fought, is a native of Ches
terfield county, Va. He was an officer in the
old U. S. army, and distinguished himself in
Mexico. After this resignation, he returned to
Virginia, and was assigned to the command of
-the 12th Georgia regiment in Gen.- Loring's
division, a portion of which' had been lately
transferred to another point, leaving Col. John
ston the senior officer of the post. This for;e,
at Camp Alleghany expected orders to move
eastward, when the enemy came out from the
stronghold on Cheat Mountain and mado the *
attack, anticipating an easy victory, but return
ed discomfitted and beaten.
• A Maryland Regiment Deserting Lincoln.
—We received intelligence through an officer
attached to Gen. Clark’s staff, who arrived here
last night by tho Orange and Alexandria train
from Centreville, that an ontirc Maryland regi
ment had deserted Lincoln’s army, bringing
with them their arms and equipments.
Our informant says he saw them at Centrc-
vifle before ho left there yesterday.
Since writing the above we have received in
formation from another reliable source corro-
bating the above. Tho particulars of the de
sertion were these: The regiment was ser t out
on picket from Alexandria, and when they.
reached the front of our lines they hoisted the
Confederate flag and marched into Centrev.ille.
They were accompanied by their Colonel and
all the officers of the regiment.—Lynchburg

DIALOGUE.
SALT MONSTER AND|BAC)N CURER.
Bacon Curer—Hare you salt, and what’s tho
price? -w'xk. ■ ->'*£ * , , ,
Salt Monster—$16 per sick, or $4 per bushel.
Bacon—-Gracious me 1 1 can’t pay that price.
I want to get it at $1,50 per sack.
Salt—Have you any baton to sell; how much
for it per pound 2
Bacon—Well, I don’t exactly care to sell,
but, asa favor, you can have some at 25 cents
per pound. !
Salt—Your bacon is vtfry good, and I suppose
I must take some. HoW much salt do you use
to save 1,000 pounds ?
Bacon—Well, T£ bushels will save it easily.
Maybe a bushel.
Salt—if you can save 1,000 pounds wi th 1$
bushels, it will cost you $5. Won’t it?
Bacon—Well, I ain’t much at figures, but I
reckon you are right -
Salt—Then, friend Bacon, if.my salt at $16 a
sack will make your bacon cost you only i a
cent a pound inc r# than when you paid me
$1,60 per sack for salt, how is it you charge me
25 cents a pound for bacon, when you used to
sell it for 10 cents.
Bacon—Well, my friend Salt, Hike to get as
much as I can for my bacon.

As Incident of the Battle or Belmont.—
John A. Logan was a Colonel of an Illinois
regiment in the battle of Belmont In the en
gagement the fltg bearer of the 13th Arkansas
was killed by a shot supposed to come from
some of Logan’s men. “I will not see that flag
touch the ground,” said a brave your.g lad in
♦be ranks. He rushed forth, seized the staff,
and in triumph bore it through the fight.
Wo regret to learn that typhoid pneumonia, - . , ,
and other diseases cincident to camp life,are pre- f ™ extraordinary tax for the support of soldier s
vailing to some extent among our soldiers.— ■ * c ’ . . . ,.
We would suggest that the officers cannot be * 28 lo confer certain powers and unpose cer^
too rigid in enforcing such camp regulations as Win dut.es upon the Inferior court of Tattnall
will conduce to the health of their men. We
are informed that the country commanded by
t! e enemy inay afford them about fifteen hun-,
dred biles 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 tho slave pop
ulation for a long period, if undisturbed by the
soldiers. So faras we can ascertain, the Yan
kees havo made no progress to the south and
west of Broad Rriver. It is reported that a
launch, belonging to the enemy, and full of
men, was caught up a creek last week. Our
troops fired into it, and killed seven of those on
board. A 24 pounder, which had been rifled,
and sent to the neighborhood of Pocotaligo,
was tested lately, when it exploded, killing in
stantly a mule, which was standing near, and
taking off the front part of an officer’s cap,
without doing him any further injury.
A correspondent, writing from* the camp at
Coosawhatchie to the Columbia Guardian, says:
The headquarters of Gen. Sherman is at liil-
ton Head island. His forces—variously estima
ted at from ten thousand to forty thousand—
occupy that island, and Beaufort, on Port Royal
island; and from these two centres their ma
rauding parties move—always with extreme
caution—about the adjacent islands. A repor
ted landing of tlte enemy at Port Royal Ferry,
on the Uth inst., induced an immediate concen-
trat'on of our regiments at that point. No
landing, however, was attempted, and Col. Ed
wards resumed his former position at Coosa-
whatchie, Col. Dunovant taking position near
Gardner’s Corner.
Brig. Gen. Pemberton is now in command of
this military district, Brig. Gen. Drayton being
in command of the district south of us aua
Brig. Gen. Ripley of tho district north of us,
including Charleston. General Lee is in com
mand of the whole—his headquarters being
still here. Brig. Gen. Pemberton is for the
present algo here. ‘
The enemy arc in occupation ofT\ bee Island,
at the mouth of Savannah, and are busy mak
ing ready for something; what that something
is to be, the future must show us.
Within the last day or two a good deal ol ac
tivity has been pervading our defensive army,
as well as our enemy upon the island, and stir
ring events may be confidently expected with
in three days. Tho landing of the enemy at
Port Royal -Ferry, just north of Port Royal Is
land, upon the main land, is a matter rendered
more than likely by coming events, whose sha
dows ars already around us.—Mercury.

ing up the Southern ports with old whaling
hoiks loaded with stone, the Wilfnington Journ
al expresses onr own views when it says:
For a time this sort of thing may have some
little effect, but with the peculiar shifting sand
shoals which form tho bars to our Southern
harbors, the attempt to effect anything perma
nent must wholly fail. '.These sands shift of
themselves constantly, and the current of water
blocked out of bite channel by some obstruc
tion placed there, will pretty certainly cut an
other one for itself very soon, especially where
there is such a heavy tide as- there is at the
mouth of the Savannah river. There is not
granite enough in Quincy,- nor old whalers
enough in Mystic, New Bedford, Nantucket
and Martha’s Vineyard, to permanently effect
anything in the way of blocking a harbor with
a sandy bottom ana a tidal rise of seven feet
SnOES.—We are very glad to hear that one
set of speculators have “caught it.” Some
sixty days ago, the prospect was very promis
ing that leather would bo scarce and shoes

have shoes for the soldiers, and it was suppos
ed, it would be obliged to submit to any exac
tions that avarice might impose. The specu
lators were very busy, snatching up all the lea
ther and shoes they could lay their hands on
in all directions. They got a very large sup
