1Es- The Secretary Of the Intsfior Depart
ment has just given another exhibition of bis
good sense, by declining to accept marble
bust rendered him By some some gentlemen in
his department
The Secretary earnestly recommends the ap-
preparation OF all the spare funds which may
be in the possession Of any Of the clerks Of the
Department, to sustaining the Government, and
to the relief Of INDECENT families o, soldiers,
serving their country on the "tented tield.' iu
this hour of their country's need.
The sense and patriotism thus shown by
Secretary Smith, will rebound much more to
bis honor, when the difficulties which now BE-
set the Administration and the country shall
have been permanently settled, than

The death Of Col. Croghan, who was killed by

his death, bed he confessed that he had received
only what he deserved-that he was wrong, and
asked the surgeon to pray for him. He refused
to allow any medical assistance, probably well
aware his time was come. The meeting and
recognition between him and Gen. Benham wa,
painful to witness. Said the General:

MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR Brown, OF GEORGIA.
Governor Brown has been reelected Governor
of Georgia. In his inaugural address, which
was published in the Savannah Republican of
the llth instant, he reviews at length the pro.
gress of the rebellion, and declares that 1t had
gone so far that 1t forbade all compromise
with the North, and nothing remained for the
South but to fight to the bitter end for their
independence. He speaks very despondingly
of the attempts OF the Confederacy to receive
foreign recognition, He concludes his address
by ailuding to the defeat Of the rebels in South
Carolina, and speaks of our feet as an over
powering one, against which no ordinary land
works can hope to succeed.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS.

We are glad to learn that on Thursday, Ad.
jutant General Thomas sent out instructions to
Gen. Sherman, In Beaufort, to take possession
Of all the crops on the isand-cotton, corn,
rice, eto-on military account, and to ship the
cotton, AID such other crops as were not want
ed for the army, to New York, to be sold there
for account Of the Government; also, to use
the negro slaves to gather and secure the crops
of cotton and corn, and to erect his defences at
Port Royal and other places on the island.
These instructions, SO far as negroes are con-
cerned, carry out the principles Of he original
instructions under which Gen. Sherman started
on this expedition, and which were 80 general.
ly approved by the country. They seem to US
to be, In all respects, eminently wise. II Is
better for the negroes to be employed than to
be idle, and In this case their labor will save
valuable crops, which would otherwise be
nearly total loss.
By the laws Of war, all property of the ent my,
public and private, Is forfeited to the victor
Whatever is spared, is spared upon considera-
tions Of clemeucy or policy. But what the
Government here directs to be done, Is rather
the saving Of property from destruction than
the con6scation Of It. =.

TIE News FROM THE South, TYBEE ISLAND,
ETC. See telegrapbic accounts from New York
Of the news brought there by the Illinois.
It Is not true that there are any works on
Tybee Island, which command Fort Pulaski.
The New York papers have the following
additional items, brought by the Illinois:
Letters from Port Royal state that the Fed.
southern extremity. OF Hilton Head Island, cap.
turing four rebel cannon; the spikes were re-
moved, ard they were then in serviceable con-
dition. ..
Among the deaths at Hilton Head were the
following: G. H. Hubbard, Eighth Maine regi.
ment; private Trefau, Eighth Maine; private
Nash, Ninth Maine.
The negroes in the vicinage are holding high
carnival. None are received by General
Sherman except the very few who can make
themselves useful. The rest. though they hang
about the forts during the day, are sent back
to the plantations at night. They bring pro
visions to the soldiers. which they sell OF very
low prices. Chickens can be had at twenty
five cents pair. and very fair bullocks at five
dollars apiece.
Beaufort is still deserted by white men
Three Union gunboats lie there, and Others
pass up and down the river occasionally. The
negroes destroy and carry off everything they
can lay their hands on. Anything they think
useful they carry off to an island, where they
are establishing settlement of their own, aud
where they think they will be allowed to live
in security. They have plenty of provisions
The crops are said to be heavier this year than
for ten years past The rice crop was secured
before the arrival Of the expedition.
Great quantities Of cotton we're stored in
barns and storehouses. As many as two thou
sand bales were seen on one plantation ready
for market. General Sherman, however, re
fuses to seize it. He says 1t is not contrabani
Of war, and be has no authority to seize an,
other property.
Probably half of the crop, however was no
picked, or, if picked, not ginned, and would b.
lost as the negroes have no idea Of doing an,
labor since their taskmasters have fed.

SECESSION DEsoLArIoN IN Missouri. - The
Springfield correspondent Of the 81. Louis Ne,os
writes:
"From our last nights camping place (near
Little York; we discerned seven fires-all
around US. The nearest was farm, where out.
buildings, grain stacks, and the house, were all
fred at the came time. Friend and foe are
treated alike u; farm-houses, corn-felds, fences
In short everything that might be Of the least
use to the Union army-to the army whom
they have always ridiculed publicly and feared
secretly-is destroyed, and desert thirty miles
wide Is separating us from the retreating foe
Where the hand Of industry had commenced to
place its mark of civilization, now only proofs
Of diabolical barbarity are visible"

How rHE ANNIVERSARY or SOUTH CARoLp

How THE ANNIVERSARY OF SOUTH CAROLINA
INDEPENDENCE" WAS KEPT.-Abraham Liu-
coin was elected President Nov. 6, 1860. On
the next day, the 7th, his election becoming
kaown in Charleston, the Federal officers there
resigned their places, preparatory to the seces
sion of the State. In fact, on that day South
Carolina resolved TO secede.
One year afterwards, to a day, the United
States fleet began to throw shells, at the rate
Of "two thousand per hour" into the forts OF
Port Royal and the first landing of the Gov.
ernment forces was made upon the territory Of
South CarOlina-a pleasant way of keeping the
anniversary Of South Carolina independence.

FLAG SHIP WABASH

Port Royal Har5or, Nov. Is, 1861.
SIR: have the honor to report that Com
mander E. M. Yard Of the U. S. steamer Dale,
captured the British schooner Mabel, on the
evening Of the 18th instant, in latitude 81 de-
grees 10 minutes and longitude 80 degrees SO
miputes 30 seconds west, and brought her into
this harbor.
She purported to be from Havana and
bound for New York, but at the time of her
capture was heading for St. Catharine's Sound.
Her cargo consists of seven bales blankets,
cases cloth, 2 cases saddles and brides. 3
boxes starch, 25 boxes tin, l2O boxes coffee, 20
barrels potatoes $50 pigs OF lead, 80 bags OF
shot, box shoes, G bags arrow root, case
pistols, (revolvers,) and cases Of cavalry
swords.
The Mabel was formerly named the John W
Anderson, of Baltimore, as appears by the Ger
tifcate of registry given at Nassau, N. p.
found among his papers. She had no clearance
from the port OF Havana.
The character of her cargo part OF 1t contra
band, and her position as above given, seem tt
be strong presumptive evidence Of her inten
tion to run the blockade. have therefore
sent her to Philadelphia in charge Of Masters
Mate Levi Lane, of the United States steamer
Dale, and seven men Of that chip, for adjudica
ton.
have the honor TO be, sir, respectfully, you
obedient servant. S. +. DUPONT,

In discussions touching the personal charac
ter of Mr.. Cameron and his qualifications for
seat in the Cabinet, this journal has had no
part We do not now propose TO touch upon
these points. But 10 political ssgacity as to
the mode Of conducting the war and termi
mating the rebellion, Mr.. Cameron's measures
and utterances are quite in advance Of any
thing that has emanated from other members
Of the Cabinet .
His views Of the mode of dealing with the
slaves Of rebels are wise, sound, and patriotic
They commend themselves to the common
sense Of the people.
We prefer to regard Mr.. Cameron's position
on this subject as taken frSp high regard fol
the welfare of the country, rather than in any
interest Of personal ambition. But If any othel
member Of the Cabinet has hankering after
the Presidency, we strongly advise him to fol
low Mr.. Cameron's lead.
