TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (alum's nisotAirs.) AMERICA. THE OCCUPATION OF CHARLESTON. The Royal Mail steamship Australasian, from New York on the 22nd February, arrived at Queenstown at 5 p.m. to-day (March 3), with 42 passengers and 23,000 dole. in specie. She landed two passengers and 113 sacks of mails, and pro ceeded for Liverpool at 5.10p.m. All well. The Australasian made the passage from New York in leas than nine days. NEW YORK, PEI. 22, Moasoia.. The following additional details have been re ceived :—lt is stated that the operations of the Con federates began at 10 on the evening of the 17th, and in about twelve hours the evacuation was com plete. Early on the morning of the 18th the fleet observed two terrific explosions. Burning frag ments filled the air for a great distance. Theshock was severely felt by all the Federal vessels. Many thousand bales of cotton were burned by the explosion of the warehouse. pp4....1, _ _ firing of other, public buildings. The Confederates who remained to the last are stated not to have been well organised. The majority of them merely remained for plunder. The inhabitants state them to be guilty of many disgraceful acts. Several hundred Confederate deserters concealed them selves in the houses when Charleston surrendered, declaring themselves tired of the rebellion and of fighting for it. They were received as prisoners. Crowds of negroee met the Federal troops and made demonstrations of joy. They wanted food, and said they would be glad to work. Some proposed to take up arms against their masters. Their condition is described as much worse than that of the inhabitants of Savannah. The' appearance of the city, the lower part of which was uninhabitable, and the upper in flames, is described as dreary and desolate in the extreme. It is stated that the evacuation of Charleston began nearly three weeks ago. Since that time the Confederates bad been busy removing stores. Heavy supplies were, however, left at the time of the evacuation. The Confederates were said to number 14,000 EOM and took a northerly direction. The Federal expedition to Bull's Bay a short time before the evacuation was to cut the railroad north of the city, but if successful could only have prevented the escape of a few Confederates. The correspondent of the Tribune says that the formidable earthworks on James Island were found abandoned and the guns spiked. The damage can, however, be easily repaired. The same writer thinks the Confederates intended to burn the city to the ground, and believes they mean to concen trate at Florence, which communicates with Charleston by railroad, unless the communication has been recently destroyed by the Federal'. The guns already discovered are not seriously injured. Fishing for torpedoes has commenced in the vicinity of Sumter, and they are gradually being picked up. The correspondent of the Tribune says that Sherman had reported that all forts in the rear of Charleston were in the Federal possession. .• News of the evacuation was received with great applause in Congress. The War Department ordered a national salute to be fired at every fort and arsenal and at the bead-quarters of the army of the United States, in honour of the restoration of the Union flag upon Sumter. Seward ordered the illumination of the departments and buildings at Washington on Washington's day, which ia to day, in honour of the recent triumphs. There are great rejoicings throughout the North, and the Northern press publishes an exultant account of the recent success. Baltimore despatches report that Fort Anderson was captured on Sunday by General Schofield and Admiral Porter. Most of the carrison escaped towards Wilmington through the fort. All the guns were left in good condition. Schofield was following on towards Wilmington accompanied by two monitors, sod it was expected that the city would be in his possession on Monday. The Tribune believes that Sherman's main army is pushing steadily northwards to Charlotte or Fayetteville, and that an expedition of no little magnitude is striking at the railways near the coast. Mr. Stanton telegraphed to the Governor of New York the news of Sherman's capture of Columbia. He urges him to hasten the recruiting, and says that the rebellion must receive a final blow this spring campaign. The Herald's Washington correspondent states that the evacuation of Richmond is likely to follow that of Charleston. Evidences of this daily multiply. Advice., from persona high in the Confederate service state that the evacuation is determined on, and nearly all the machinery has been removed. It is understood that Lee will fall hack to Lynch burg, where the Confederate forces are to be con centrated, preparatory to making a desperate effort to break through the coils which envelope them. A strong Federal cavalry force is reported to be threatening Lynchburg. The Tribune says that the opinion in high official quarters is that Lee cannot remain more than thirty days at Richmond, but must either attack Grant and raise the siege, or fall back upon Lynch burg, his only line of retreat. Moat of Hood's army have been sent to join Beauregard. Their oor.dition is very bad. Large numbers are barefooted, end suffered from frost bitten feet during the retreat from Nashville. Forrest is concentrating at Jackson, in order to operate against Vicksburg. The correspondent of the Chicago Erening Journal says Sherman left Savannah with 100,000 men, including 16,000 cavalry and 10,000 negroes ; the latter would remain near Port Royal. Sherman commenced his march northward with 90,000 men. The same correspondent estimates Beauregard's forces at 35,000, in addition to 10,000 picked men of Hood's army, who left for South Carolina under Cheatham L. 0. Lee, but who would pro bably not arrive before the let of March. 5,000 more men would be available if Wilmington were abandoned. Lee cannot reinforce Beauregard, having only 35,000 men round Richmond. General Grant has telegraphed to Mr. Stanton the following extracts from the Richmond papers of the 20th :—" The Confederate War Department received information on the 19th instant that Sher man's advance wasnear Winniaboro, 30 miles north of Columbia. Charlotte was thronged with refugees from Columbia, who report that Wheeler's cavalry plundered the city. Up to Tuesday it was uncer tain whether Columbia would come within the im mediate range of Sherman's purposes, consequently the public mind was not prepared for such an early solution of the question. The government, how- ever, removed all the specie, amounting to several millions, and also the dies and plates of the Trea sury department, together with the supplies of Treasury notes on hand. The enemy possessing Branchville, Orangeville, and Kingsville, precluded any movement on the road leading to Charleston. An accident on the Charlotte-road prevented the authorities from saving other valuable materials in the city. Beanregard withdrew to a position 20 miles from Columbia, where he remained yester day. Theenemy's forceentered Columbia, consisting of Sherman's main army, a large portion of which immediately moved up the Charlotte-road. Another portion moved down in the direction of Charleston." The Richmond Examiner says :—" The only value •of Sherman's advance into South Carolina for the purpose of a general campaign consists in its being a step towards co-operating with Grant in the investment of Richmond. Beauregard may yet lead Sherman such • dance as Green led Con- I wallis over those same swamps and rivers. If Sherman cannot reach the Danville-road, then he had better have stayed at Atlanta. Beanregard is believed to he carrying out a deliberate design, and Sheraton is near the end of leis triumphs." • A private letter from General Sherman has been published, stating that no human being feels more kindly towards an enemy than he does towards the people of the South. He hopes to live to see the day when they will thank him, as one who laboured to secure and maintain a government worthy of the land they inherited, and strong enough to secure to our children the peace and security that are denied to us. Judging from the press, the world magnifies _ _ . these above their true value. I fear the future may not realise its judgment. The Richmond Despatch of the 18th announces that a movement has been made by Grant indica ting either the transfer of a heavy body of troops to the north side of the James, or the return of the troops sent to Petersburg to participate in the Hatcher's Run engagement. A supply steamer, which arrived at New York from Mobile on the 10th, reports that several Federal ironclads were off Dog River Bar, close to the city. General Lee has issued an order assuming the chief command, in which he says be is impressed with the difficulties and responsibilities of his posi tion. Humbly invoking God for guidance, be relies for success upon the courage and fortitude of the army, sustained by the patriotism and firm ness of the people. He is confident that their united efforts will secure peace and independence. His headquarters for the present will be with the army of Northern Virginia. Lee, in a letter acknowledging an address from Wise's brigade, declaring in favour of the prosecu tion of the war, says the spirit of the address is the true one. If the people sustain the soldiers and evince the same resolution and fortitude which characterises the army, lie feels no apprehension about the issue of the contest. He does not see how the South can by any compromise or negotia tion abate any of the rights claimed in the address without surrendering the liberties derived from their ancestors. As long as the soldiers were animated by such sentiments, and supported by the country, be believes the overthrow of the South beyond the enemy's power. Forrest bas established his headquarters at Jackson, Mississippi, conscripting guerillas, and sending them to the army of Virginia. The committee on military affairs in the Virginia Legislature has reported upon resolutions authoris ing consent to enlistment of such number of negroes for the military service as may be deemed necessary, upon terms and under such limitations as shall be agreed upon between the government and the slave holders. The Richmond Examiner says Lee urgently calls for a large force of negroes, to be used according to his judgment. The country will not venture to , deny Lee anything he asks in the present position of affairs. The Charleston Mercury denounces the freeing of slaves. " South Carolina," it says, " entered the struggle solely to maintain slavery. Southern independence and slavery must stand or fall together." The Richmond Examiner reports a large influx of deserters from Grant and Sherman. The Northern papers state that the desertions from Lee's army are increasing, and that large numbers of deserters arrive at Washington daily. The ex. change of prisoners is actively progressing. _ . The Judicial Committee of the Sen a te has re ported in favour of recognising Louisiana under its recently formed States government as fully restored to the Union, with all its rights, privi leges, and immunities. The committee on the rebellion states, in an amendment to the Reconstruction Bill, to provide for the recognition by the Presi dent of the State government of Tenneuee, if such government is established according to the Constitution before May next : The Constitu tion must provide that no person be allowed to vote who held a military office higher than colonel in the Confederate army. Slavery shall be for ever pro hibited. No State or Confederate debt created under theaction of the usurping power shall be recognised or paid by the State. No rebel confiscation law shall be binding. The correspondent of the Herald estimates that 160,000 bales of cotton are stored along the railroad from Wilmington into South Carolina, which the Confederates will burn at the approach of the Federals. The Federal steamer Merrimac has sunk. The crew were saved by the blockade runner Wier, which escaped into Galveston under the ruse of • flag of truce. The China and &monis have arrived out. Twenty vessels of the Savannah cotton fleet have arrived at New York, with 12,000 bales of cotton. The steamer Granite City, with • cargo of cotton, has escaped to sea from the Calcasian (1) river. The subscription to the 7.30 loan on Monday amounted to over 4,000,000 dots. The subscriptions last week exceeded 26,000,000 dole. The City of Boston has arrived out. Havannah advice% to the 15th report that 17 blockade runners were in port, as blockade run ning was nearly ended. It was supposed they would be sold. The Secessionists propose as a sub stitute for them small schooners, capable of run ning into the inlets on the Florida coast. The coolie trade was being reopened. Three hun dred coolies bad arrived at Savannah. Forty Confederates had captured and burned the schooner Alice Mow, anchored off Matamoros. CONILMICIAL INTELLIGENCE , NEW TONE, Pin 22, Malmo.
