VICTORY.


i
r The tide has turned Once mere the
fags stream out triumphantly aud the ma
tionaI heart rejoiees in victory. All the
weary months of waiting and disappoint-
ment seemed but q troubled dream when
yesterday from all the thousand camps of
freedom the guns Numbered forth saluIes
in honor of the grand achievement of
Beaufort. And the joy was the more in
tense that the locality of the triumph was
so near the original seat of the rebellion
Just year from the day when Abraham
Lincoln was elected President inst a year
from the day when the first secession cock
ade appeared in the streets of Charles
ton, the thunders Of Federal cannon
struck terror TO the hearts Of tie trait
ors, and visited upon them the same
horrors into which they had plunged
their country. A little later and Beau
fort, the Rden of the aristocacy of
CarolinR, was abandoned by its frightened
citizens, and the sfaithful slaves ran riot
through its dwellings All over the accurs-
ed State hangs the black terror of serTile
insurrection and certain ruin and poverty
stare in the face OF the chivAiry. There is
mo- part Of The Seuth, save South Carolina,
toward which the loyal heart of the North
does not turn with some degree Of pity
and some hope Of the ultimate restoration
of hrotherIy relations. But for that foul
eess-pool Of traitors there is not an emo
tion Of SORROW. Loyalty can neither for
get nor forgive the arrogant and reckless
ambition of that small group Of cotton
lords who in spirit of devilish SELFISH
ness have lighted the torch Of war, and
sent it flaming through our lately happy
country.
But there was . deeper and truer safis-
faction coming from another source. We
witness the fruitiUu OF the vast prepare
tions to which the Rheie nation has putits
shoulder for the last six months. We see
the energy aud wisdom OF the government
viudieated, aud we can even hops that the
evil tongues Of grumblers may be hnshed
In silence In the whole history of tenn
porary failures for the sake Of permanent
success; of minor isapPointmentI gilded
by the hope Of something better 10 tue fu-

THE ENGAGEMENT AT AEAuROAN.s t'-l 2
The Charleston Conrier of the nth gives
full particulars of the engagement at Hill
ton Head. Itsays: a
The vessels had all the advantage of
fair weather aud a clear sea, The light
breeze blowing ON shore at the time was
also favorable to the feet, the smoke from
their cannon being driven directly in tae
faces of our troops in the battery at Fort
Walker. The huge volumes of smoke
thus poured forth completely concealed
the whole of the approaching vessels from
the view of those in the Fort. The man
eyring of the vessels was admitted by
some of our best naval officers to have
been grandlY executed-
As quickly as our batteries obtained
the range ofthe epemy's vessels, so as TO
bear upon them effectively, they immedi-
ately changed their positions, and again
our RTtilIeEists were compelled to get their
range only by practice. The firing npOu
Fort Walker was particularly heavy, with
one continuous whirl of shot and she'll
falling into the fort and knocking down
the men in every direction. Some have
estimated as many as fifty shells minute
bursting inside the fort at one time.
Unfortunately, at an early period in the
Fort Walker, in consequence Of the bad
working of the eceentrics, became alto
gether unmanaReable, and could not again
be used during che action. The storm OF
iron hail that came kissing through the
air from the feet alter this accident was
beyond all description It was more like
the noise of the winds roaring through the
rigging of a vessel in the midst of q tenn
pest. ProVidentiAlly, however, up to IL
o'clock, although there had been marvel
ously hair-bresdth escapes, not a man had
been killed. At that hour however, the
enemy had succeeded in entirely enfilading
tho battery With his feet, and commenced
tremendous FIRE in a direct line against
the front, which proved very destructive
and disastrous.
There we're eleven killed and fifteen
wounded inside the fort, ten Of the former
and twelve of the latter being of the Ger
man Battalion of Artillery of our city.
The German Battalion occupied the inside
position of the fort, against which the FIRE
of the enemy WAS principally directed.
The men fought braTely and desperate
ly. When the order to retreat was given
the men were very unwilling 70 leave, and
endeavored to secure their small arms,
many of which had been buried in tie
sand or disabled during the action.
positive order was given, however, to
leave them behind. Some sixty or seven
ty, however, were brought away, the mem
6ers Of the German ARTILLERY bringing
away. over thirty. There were about 2l7
men in the fort, of whom lsO belonged to
the German Artillery.
The small Confederate flag that was
placed over the fort was completely torn
In threads and hurled in the sand-not
piece could be found. The Palmetto flag,
which belonged to the Germans, was com
pletely riddled. -,

serted the towu-the men for the army and
