are now taxed to their utmost in Resisting the
INVASION of Der soil, the prompt intervention

suitable to the uccaSvn. The State ui South

badly and the Chief Engineer killed.
When GU, troops took possession Of
the forts they found flag flying on the
fort on Hilton's Head The rebels had
mined the works and fixed the halyards
of the flag 80 that when the flag should
be drawn down the mine would be
sprung The hulyards did spring mine
in the house used by the officers but did
very little damage, and hurt no one. The
magazine did not explode. A large
quantity of powder was found; also a
large amount Of English ammunition and
projectiles.
