weep over the sad changes which could see
hsd taken place within few hOurs Within no

More Particulars of the Fight.

From The Pensacola Observer
We are enabled this evening to give fuller
account of the engageme4t Of Tuesday night
last on Santa Rosa Island, between the Conied-
crates and the Yankee troops.
Although il was a serious and bloody fight,
there were many amusing incidents IN the en-
gageIneut. There was some $500 in gold and
d watch taken by the soldiers from the tents Of
the officers, besides other valusbles. Many OF
Wilson's Zouaves were bsvoneted while in their
tents, and it must have been amusing 10 see the
scamps escaping from the back part Of their
tents, and our boys after them.
We were shown a letter taken from the pocket
Of one OF the Zouayes. The envelope had on it
a representation of a soldier holding in his hand
the United States hsg-his foot placed upon an
anchor, with the inscription underneath, " Long
NAV It wave" The letter was from an affec-
iionste sister in New York to her brother-the
one from whom it was taken. We understand
that the person who took and read the letter
could not help feeling for the sister, Tor it seemed
by the same that her whole affections were upon
that brother, who now lies cold in the arms OF
death
Captain Maugham fully displayed the bravery
and coOlneSs for which he is everywhere charac-
terized. lie arrested three prisoners alone and
unaided and marched them to the guard and
we would feel like doing injustice to a brave and
noble man, did wc not mention that Adjutant
Black Of the 9Th Georgia regiment, arrested a
sergeant who was at the time sergeant Of the
guard and had with him his report, and used the
very gun he took from his prisoner in making
one or two more Yankees bite the dust
Taking into consideration the disparity Of our
forces, being but about 100, and the enemy
over 2000 We are proud to say thatwe gained i
most complete victory. We attacked them in
their very dens-whipped them ont, and de-
stroyed their properly. Their loss, it is estima-
ted viii quadruple Ours.

Oar New Naval and Army station in the

Calf.
Ship Island and the Chandelier Islands, now
occupied by the national forces in the Gulf Of
Mexico, lie in range south OF Mississippi City,
in the direction of the delta of the Mississippi,
Their occupation cuts off navigation to New Or
leans by way of Lake Pontchartrain. The south
orn reports that a quantity of lumber has been
landed there, sufficient to build quarters FOR ten
thousand men, indicate that the islands have
been occupied as a naval station and as a rem
devious for troops, from which they can descend
without notice on any part OF the Gull coast
from Pensacola 10 the Rio Gmnde. The station
is about fifty miles north of the mouth of the
Mississippi, about the same distance from New
Orleans by way Of Lake Pontchartrain, aud
about midway between that and Mobile, near
enough TO keep those places aud the whole coast
in pleasing state Of tXhilaratiOn, and within
very convenient distance Of them.
1t is probable that the government is looking
ont for winter quarters for our troops in the sun
nv South, where The climate in the winter is
most favorable 10 military operations and will
be much more comfortable TO our soldiers. This
is one Of the advantages Of q great country; its
diversity of climate enables our armies to keep
the field through the whole year, by changing
the scene Of the campaign, thus giving them
steady occupation, and improving the protTacted
preparation that we have been making through
the warm season.
Our southern brethren win see the propriety
of this. and will doubtless accede to the military
necessity. Il would be cruel both 10 our sol
djers and theirs, to keep them in the field in
northern latitudes during the winter. In the
south all viii be comfortable. In the spring,
when the southern people become reconciled TO
the presence of northern troops, they viii return
North overland. Thus it viii be seen that this
country seems to be peculiarly adapted to war
like purposes, and 70 military operations for the
suppression of a southern Tebellion.-H. Louis
Republican.
