The Const Consrnbcnds.

Correspondence OF The n. Y. Tribune
PoRT RoyAL, S. C., Dec. l2 1861.
The condition Of the people OF color on the Allan
tic coast US brought within the sphere Of our block
aiding squadron, fortresses, and military posts, Is
becoming more and more interesting every day.
Beginning at the eastern shore OF Virginia, from
Fortress Monroe to Fort Pickens, we find ut least
fifty thousand persona whose peculiar relations to the
Government and country demand the most serious
inquiry. All along the sea-board are Thousands OF
able-bodied men, who have been accustomed to ENJOY
many personal privileges, and whose employ mel Is
render them valuable to the public service. The
most Of the maritime labor of the coast, in certain
directions, ia performed by colored hands, The
coasters of the Virginia inles, Of the Delaware ana
Chesapeake Bays, OF tue more southern shore, al
the way down TO tho lowest key OF Alabama and
Florida are Manned and in many instances nayigaed'
entirely By men OF color. The yessels they manage
are comparatively EMAIL and the trade they carry Oh
10 comparatively humble. But, be that as II may,

require all the time of many persons. have already
heard of men anxious to come out. Ny hope is, how
ever that the obligation of the Government to the
slave will be recognized and discharged; that If no
funds exist that can be drawn from, they may be i'm
mediatey supplied; enough at fret for temporary
purposes. When the limits Of the effort enlarge, let
the means be increased by a general appropriation
for this specific purpose; and that will be the best
evidence of the desire of Government to manage and
sustain the schools.

THE PANIC AT SAVANNAH.
A STRONG BASE OF FORTIFICATI0NS.

The steamship Atlantic, o. Eldrige from Port
Royal, S. c., Dec. II, with passengers, mails, and
100 COO pounds OF SeaIsand cotton, gathered under
the direction of Government agents by the negroes,
to Col. D. ID. Tompkins, Quartermaster-General,a ar
rived at this port on Friday, Dec. 20. On Dec. Is,
at p. M, 90 miles south of Hatteras, saw steam
ship Vanderbilt, steering south; P. M, saw an
other large steamer steering south.
Gen. Stevens's Brigade of 900 men now occupies
Beaufort, Lady Island, st. Helena, and Bay Point
Gen. Viele's expedition has been abandoned.
Gen. Sherman has issued orders that all the re-
porters for tie press should leave the place i'm
mediatey but the order was aiterward Withdrawn.
Tie number of troops at Port Royal and the
vicinity was about 10000 men. 100000 pounds of
cotton had been secured when the Atlantic sailed,
and would be shipped in the next steamer.
A part of the stone feet was at Savannah, and a

PORT ROYAL, 8. c., DE-

From Our Special Correspondent.
PoRT ROYAL, g. c., Dec IA, 1861.
The sanitary condition of the troops has assumed a
special interest in connection with the proposed build
ing of temporary general hospital for the division.
A disagreement as to its necessity between the med
Zeal officers of the Expedtionsry Corps and Surgeon
General Finlay, and the gravity of the question On
which they are at issue, make 1t most important that
the facts should be known. The Surgeon General
considers hospital unnecessary because the climate
Is mild and the condition Of the troops on the whole,
good. Reports TO the same effect have gone North.
A New.York paper of Nov. 90 is before me, in
which it is said that the troops al Port Royal are all
in good health and spirits Similar statements, I'M
dentand have been generally made and believed.
Now for the facts.
Ninety-eight soldiers have died since the expedi-
ton left Annapolis, Oct q; 81 since it landed at
Port Royal, Nov.7. Thewhoe number Of sick from
its arrival to the end of November exclusive Of tue
9th Michigan, was 4,282. Of this number there re-
manned at the END of that month ga requiring hospital
treatment. The 9th Michigan, not included in the
above, because its have been sent back for
correction, has suffered more than any other regi.
ment, and would swell the total of sick to neary
o,0oo. The returns for December not made up.
More than 800 patients in hospital; still
larger number requiring hospital treatment are left
in quarters Tor want Of hospital tents, and the sick
list daily enlarges. complete list of deaths, copied
from the official record, is herewith cent.
The division was landed Ut Port Royal before the
frost Lad destroy ed the deadly growth Of arsh and
swamp, and malaria fell with It's most fatal effect on
the exhausted systems of soldiers who have been
obliged to work in the water aud to go TO their tent,
at night, wet chilled, and tired, with no change o.
clothes OF means of warmth. The influence Of such
d.hips is shown by the fact tina. no officer ha,
been attacked by any disease peculiar to the climate
IN malignant form or with fatal resuIt; the only ex
PLANTATION Of which is their comparative freedom iron
exposure and the greaer warmth and comfort o
their quarters. The fatal diseases have BEEN wit
the exception Of small pox and typhoid fever, amos
entirely those incident 10 the climate, and caused II
this climate BY over work and exposure, especially

POETS FOR OUR ARMY.

Mr.. EDITOR: While approve the policy of hav-
ing Chaplains in our Army, and of paying them,
permit me to suggest the policy of having Poets
also, and Of paying them also. Each viii! be useful
in his sphere. Fighting must be doEe as well as
preaching and praying; and what is better calcu-
lated to stir the blood and the courage Of
soldiers than patriotic war songs?
Suppose each regiment has its Poet, whose duty
it is to write stirring war-songs to recount the
deeds of his regiment or of particular members of
it, and occasionally to get off humorous effusion
to enliven the camp, who can calculate the effect,
not only on the fighting qualities, but upon the
health of the soldiers? His compositions would
not only strengthen the hearts and nerve the arms
of the soldiers, but they would relieve the tedium
Of the camp, and, by arousing the spirits promote
the health of ALL not only stimulating the fires of
vaor but likewise shaking out the blue decils with
hearty laugh-those same blue derils that cause
one half the sickness among our troops.
make this suggestion, Mr.. Editor, in good faith,
and with an earnest desire to promote the welfare
of our brave men now battling for their homes and
fireside, but will not at present enlarge upon it
hope you will approve what have said, and lend
your aid. W.

Mr. HOLDEN: In the Hatteras correspondence of
the New York Herald, copied in the Richmond
Examiner of the 18th inst, regretted to notice
statement that two men from Beaufort had arrived
at Hatteras, and given certain information about
Fort Macon Beaufort, Newbern, Washington and
jefferson Davis. | can assure you that sohite
man has been, nor any be hired to go, from
Beaufort or its vicinity on any such an errand or
business as this The report, however, coming so
soon after certain vile destinations against the 10y
atty of some of the inhabitants of this place have
appeared in the public press, might be believed,
without this correction. Tie Yankee letter writer
at Hatteras omitted to state that his two visitors
were black men. slaves who escaped from settle
ment few miles east Of Beaufort about the time
the correspondence bears date. They were the
property of Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Gaskill, of this
County, very intelligent rascals who no doubt en-
ghtened and interested the Yankees greatly on the
subject OF our military defences.
