THE IEBxPLl0ABLR POLICY,
From the Charleston Mercury ]


The Richmond Dispatch discourses very
touchinRly of the inexplicable policy" as
will be seen by the extract we publish be
low. But 1t is very narrow In its views
when 1t considers 1t as exempting "eotton
planters from its benefcent operations.
South Carolina Is to be next, may be, in suf
feripg, to Virginia, as it will learn by the
news in our columns. The armada is To dis
gorge its bate and fury on South Carolina.
We hope President Davis, and the troops on
the Potomac, lying on their backs in the sun,
feel very comfortable, but we do not envy
thom their glorious inactivity:
II is vain to hope that Lincoln or his party
will ever make peace as long as they can
carry on the war upon our territory. An in
e1piicable policy has allowed them to take
possession Of large portion of Virginia,
where they are ruining the country and its
people as fast as they can. As long as they
can conduct the war in that way, so long
will they refuse 10 listen to peace. Only by
| carrying it into their own territories can the
people of Yankee dom be reached, and made
TO take the matter out Of the hands of the
| politicians. AS things are managed at pres
| ent we have no hope of such a consumma-
tiOn. Virginia has been selected as the
| battlefield. II is not enough that she has
10000 men under arms-it is not enough
that she has furnished $4,000 stand of arms
tO troops DelOuHlng 10 Olner OtaIe8-lt ID not
enough that she has fed the whole enormous
army congregated on the Potomac for
montbs-it is not enough that she has far
nished them with cannon, and powder, and
| bslls-it is not enough that she has done
| more for this war than all the other States OF
| the Contedsracy put tOgether-she must be
! made-mSde by her friends-to feel the full
| weight of 1t. Her richest counties must be
| occupied by the enemy, who are by no
means to be disturbed, lest, if they be de-
feated, they should fly into Maryland, aud
into Maryland they must not be pursued
| The enemy are not to be repelled, lest il
| should disturb some strategic combination.
| She is re egarded as but geographical express
sioD-but field for the exercise of grand
| strategic combination, in which she is sure
to be ptuudeIed no matter what the result
may be. But patience. This state of things
can not last more than six years. It will
ruin Thousands Of loyal Virginians; but what

ANOTHER BATTERING RAM,
From the New Orleans Bulletin.l

We have seen the drawings of an In.
proved bstteripg ram, by Mr.. Z. B. Bishop,
gentleman we'll known In connection with
dredging, machinery, boats, &C., which ap-
pears to as TO possess singular advantages.
1t combines the powers and valuable proper
ties of Winans' cigar steamer With those of
the Manassas and other Internal machines.
One of them may be constructed in a COM
psratively short period, with the requisite
sJ stem and energy, and at a cost of not over
$50, 900. Nothing could withstand Its power,
and Mr.. Bishop Is confident that with five Of
these singular vessels the blockade of all the
important ports OF the Confederacy could be
destroyed and kept destroyed, and the ports
kept open TO the commerce of friendly ns.
tions. We may remark that Mr.. Bishops
plan of opening channels and deepening
them, which was laid before scientific
board at Washington two years ago, met
with the entire appreciation of the three en-
ipent engineers who composed it with that
of Mr. Toucey, Secretary of the Navy, and
Mr. Floyd, Secretary of War. He has a
charter from the Legislature Of Louisiana for
permanently deepening the passes at the
mouth Of the Mississippi and elsewhere, and
but for the war would have had the work
under way.
We trust that our capitalists will at once
move in the matter of this new, improved
and terrible internal machine. 1t can stem
through the waves of the Gulf or Atlantic
with the ease of fish, and with speed un'
known to Lincolns men of-War.

The steamer Vanderbilt arrived at New
York on Friday last from Port Royal, s. o.
Nothing of special Importance had tran
spired since the departure OF the steamer
Rhode Island.
Tho naval expedition was fitting out with
all possible speed, and would leave on its
mission as soon as the troops from Fortress
Monroe and Annapolis should arrive.
Port Royal Harbor has been surveyed and
buoys have been placed, 80 that vessel
drawing twenty. FIVE feet Of water can enter
with perfect safety. The good health of the
troops continues.
Beaufort is still unoccupied by the Federal
troops. Visits are daily made to that place
by officers of the army and navy. Several
transports were busily discharging stores,
ordnance, &c, at Port Royal.
The contrabands to the number Of about
one thousand still remained in the vicinity
of the forts, and others were coming in. The
large stores of potatoes vegetables and fruit
left by the affrighted rebels was furnishing
an abundant supply of wholesome food, and
the negroes, as well as many of the troops,
were employed in securing it.
Large numbers Of cattle, hogs and horses
had naturally fallen into the possession Of
the slaves, as we'll as furniture and household
effects, which they were offering for sale at
any price the soldiers were willing to pay.
REBEL PROPERTY SEIZED.
The Seventy. ninth Regiment had been on
an expedition toward Charleston, captured
three batteries and spiked the guns, returned
after having a reconnaissance to within
twenty miles of Charleston. A large amount
of cotton was found stored ready for ship
ment but the rebels were improving every
opportunity to burn and destroy it.
The enly reply to General Sherman's pro-
clsmation was "Take care of yourselves and
we will take care Of ourselves" consequently
none but slaves occupied Beaufort.
THE REBELS BURNING COTTON.
Four days before the Vanderbilt sailed, a
| guu.b boat went up one Of the rivers in the
vicinity Of Port Royal, and remained over
night. On the passage up vast quantities OF
cotton were discovered stored ready for GIN
ming. The gun-bost penetrated for several
miles. No rebels were discovered; but OF
the return the cotton which had been noticed
was found on fire; and as far as could be seer
in all directions dense smoke rose in clouds
indicating that an organized effort to burr
all the cotton, and probably other property
had been made. The rebels, it is thought
were under the impression that the vesse
had come for the purpose of seizing it. How
ever, not q single white man was seen.

Interesting Southern News.

The Richmond Dispatch of Saturday, the
3Oth, has the following telegram from
Charleston:
CHARLESTON, November 29.-The patriotic
planters of the seaboard are hourly applying
the torch to their crops Of cotton and rice.
Those who have not the heart to apply the
torch themselves have authorized the mill
tary authorities, to savetheir crops from the
ravages and lust OF the enemy, to destroy
every thing before them. The plantations
on North Edisto and its neighborhood, are
now ia one sheet of flames and smoke
throughout. Parties from below unite in
saying that every thing is wrapped in one
vast flame.
General Humphrey Marshall has written
a lying letter to the War Department at
Richmond, in reference to the battle at
Piketon, Ky. He says:
The Pketon battle occurred with 300 Con-
federates against 1900 Federals. Our troops
lost one killed, four wounded and seven
missing. The Federal loss wss-killed, 206
counted, lao wounded and 200 prisoners.
The unequal loss resulted from the fact that
our men were successfully ambuscaded, and
the enemy were entrapped.
The Memphis Appeal of the goth ult,
contains the proceedings Of a meeting of
merchants, held in that city, to devise sub
stitute for silver change, which has almost
wholly disappeared. The ordinary price of
changing bill is from eighteen to twenty
per cent. The meeting recommended that
the banks cut their notes so as to make them
pass for quarter and halt dollars.
Provisions are abundant and cheap in
Charleston, according to statement in the
| Courier.
That paper of November 90 quotes -four at
| $40 to Sill bacon and hams 80 cents per
| pound; salt $40 per sack; brown sugar 8 to
| IL cents; no coffee to be had, and cotton
cents for upland. Generally provisions are
cheaper and more abundant than is supposed
at the North, throughout all the South At
| lsntic States.
