Glorious News from the Fleet.

just as we go to press we receive further
and more reliable news from the fleet Capt.
STEADMAN arrived at Washington on the 18th
inst. with official dispatches to the Govern
ment. The feet arrived al Port Royal en-
trance on Monday the 4th inst The attack
was commenced on Thursday morning
the 7th inst. The fighting lasted for four
hours, the rebels giving a vigorous resistance.
The rebels beat a precipitatc retreat, from
both the forts commanding the Port Royal
entrance-Fort Walker, on Hilton Head,
mounting twenty three guns, and Fort Beau-
regard, on Ray Point, mounting nineteen
guns-leaving every thing to be possessed
by our troops. These forts are pronounced
impregnable against any assault by land
forces. Our loss was nine killed and about
twenty wounded. The rebel loss is unknown
but is thought to be about two hundred
Fifty-tw rebel bodies were found by our men
and buried; all their wounded except two
were carried off. The forts are but slightly
injured; they are both new and constructed
in the highest style Of military science. The
next day three gun-boats proceeded to Beau
FORT and found but one white man in the
town and he was drunk. All the surround.
ing plantations seemed to be deserted, and as
the boat passed, negroes came down to the
wharves with bundles in their hands as if
they expected to be taken off. The rebels
by some means were fully appraised of the
point The fleet was to attack and had gath
cred force of some 1000 men to defend the
sacred soil' Of Beaufort district; but they
could not stand the explosion Of our big
shell, and left everything but their lives at
our disposal. We captured large amount
of ammunition, cannon, small arms, stores,
etc. The troops on board the feet, Is, 900
in number, were, after the capture of the forts,
safely landed and established on shore. A
private letter from an officer engaged in the
bo,nbardment says: .. .-.f.r ....,.
sour success has been complete, and ter
ror rules over the whole country. The me-
groes are wild. and plunderng their masters
houses. The whites are driving the negroes
away by force, and shooting them down, but
they still come to the gun-boats."
The victory is one ofsignal Importance and
we trust that it may be but the beginning of
the end Of this unhappy war. All honor to
Com. Dupont and Brig. Gen Sherman!

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

Another year has gone, and we arc brought
to that period, when, following the example
Of our Puritan Fathers, we are accustomed to
offer our public Thanksgiving to the author
of all good for his mercifi,l providence to-
wards us. Wonderful changes have &C.
CURED during the past year, and universities
seem to have overtaken us as a country and
as people; yet We have manifold blessings
for which to be thankful For the bounte-
GUS harvests Of the field. for the general good
health Of the past year, for the peaceful rela-
tons we occupy with nations abroad. for the
aroused patriotic spirit of the People which
promises in due time to restore peace at home
and triumphantly place our civil and religious
institutions Of Freedom on firmer founda-
ton than ever before-for these and many
other blessings we have abundant cause for
Christian gratitude. -'@ ..:"."' .-...'.
With civil war raging in our midst, the
banner of Rebellion waving along all the
Southern border, hostile armies marching to
the conflict, and walls of mourning already
swelling from thousands of stricken hearts
and households--that we can still recognize
manifold cause Of gratitude and acknowledge
His kindly providence, and confidently place
our trust in His hand to control this storm
for the Nations good, may entitle us to the
renewed favor of Him who doeth all things
we'll ... ........ 4
70 this end, Samuel j. Kirkwood, Gov
crnor Of the State of Iowa, do hereby appoint
Thursday, the 2Sth day Of November next,
as day Of Thanksgiving and earnestly
recommend the people Of the State to abstain
on that day from their usual avocatious, and
assemble at their respective places Of worship
to offer Thanks, Prayer and Praise to Him
in whose mercy now more than ever is our
great trust. . -. -. ... f..

Lyons, Iowa, Oct. 20, 1861.
MURDER IN BREMER County The New
Hampton Courier has the following: Mr.
Lashbrook, a resident of Douglas Township,
Bremen county, Iowa, was murdered by his
son, a lad of about 10 or twenty years. L..
came home towards evening OF that day in
drunken state, and for some slight offense.
unknown to us, attempted to shoot his son,
and snapped the gun two or three times but
could not get the gun to fire. Laying it
down he seized a club and was about to beat
his brains out when the boy warded the blow
off, and taking the gun up fired it and killed
his father almost instantly. A coroncr's in
quest was held over the body, and We be.
lieve the verdict rendered nearly as stated
above. The son was tried before Justice of
the peace, hut nothing done with him as he
is now at liberty.
The man who is addicted to intoxication
can hardly be called responsible being. His
reason no longers governs him, and he is
swayed by every gust Of passion. Theft,
robbery, murder-every act enumerated in
the dark catalogue of crime--hc is then ready
to commit No fear of God, nor of the
avenging hand of infinite justice lmpedcs his
course. No dread of human laws bars his
progress. Lost to all shame. the wholesome
restraints of society and public opinion,
stand not in his way.
