Tx FI0Hr on SANTA Rosa lsLAND.-
Some days ago, we had an account, from q
southern source, Ofa fight on Santa ROsa
Island between body Of rebel troops and
Billy Wilson's ZOuaVes. In which It was
stated that the latter were routed, with
great slaughter, and their tents burned. The
rebels also admitted considerable loss IN
killed and wounded on their own side. We
have now another version of the affair. a.
reported by the FederaIs, BY which 1t ap
pears that the first account was very nearly
correct as far as IL went, but the sequel was
not given. The Southern dispatches neg
lected TO state that the regulars came to
the assistance Of the zOuaves. and drove
the rebels from the island. The Zouaves
are said to have acted badly, particularly
their Colonel.

WITHOUT FoUXDATIOX.-The S. +. Call
says there is no foundation for the report
that many Of the regular aud volunteer Oh
Hcers have expressed determination L"
throw up their commissions in the event OF
Denver being appointed to the command
Of this Department. Many OF the Oiiicer'
think his appointment would be Injurious,
aud would prefer some other man for their
commander, but they are too good soldiers
TO refuse TO serve under any one whom Iht
Government may place in command. There
is, as yet. no certainty that Denver will b.
stationed here, aud II he is, all attempts I"
excite the soldiers aud officers against him
can only result ia the dsorganizatiOn Oi
ibe forces on this coast, aud intlict injury
on the Uuion cause.

The Battle at Edwards Ferry.

By overland telegraph we have advices
from the Eastern States 10 the Gath inst, day
before yesterday. We have intelligence Of
q sharp engagement near Edwards Ferry,
on the Potomac, which took place on Mon-
day last resulting in considerable loss to the
Federal troops, aud among the killed were
Col. E. ID. Baker. Gen. Stone crossed the
Potomac with bis command, at Edwards
Ferry and Harrison Islaud. The enemy
we're stationed on the Virginia side TO dis
puie the passage. and skirmishing began rs
early as nine O'Clock 10 the morning, and
the enemy we're repulsed whenever they
appeared. Col. Baker 1t appears, bad ad-
vaneed some distance from the river, with
bis brigade of about !, 800 men, and about
five O'Clock 10 the afternoon vas attacked
by 1000 Of the enemy under Gen. Evans.
Ia the engagement Col. Baker was shot
dead, aud biz brigade retreated TO the river
where they could be supported by the poT-
ton of the army that had then effected o
crossing. They were pursued by the enemy,
but turned on reaching the position select
ed, aud the Ggbt was keptup until mid
night. when the enemy retreaded, the Fed
rrals holding their position Oh The Virginia
side.
The dispatch in our paper to-day gives
some additional particulars of the fight,
and the number Of killed aud wounded on
the Federal side. II appears that fifty men
we're drowned in crossing the river.
The division under General Banks ar
rived at EdW ards Ferry Oh the night Of
The 2lSt. aud we're crossing over during
The 22d. II il supposed that The two divi-
.ions will proceed TO LeesLurg for the pnr-
pose of capturing that place; but this
is probably mere conjecture.

The south Can be brought Back.

There are many who doubt as to the readl-
ness with which the authority OF the Union
may be restored in the healt Of secessiondom,
in South Carolina particularly, because they
think this demonstration so furious and ullpTe-
cedented that it signifies a radical and incura-
BILE hostility. The history Of that district IS
full of strange incidents, however, and lesson
may be drawn from them that will help us to
the solution of the present complicated case.
They fought us in 1873 and 1850 very furious
ly in Georgia and South Carolina, and though
our armies were much in those States in the
latter part of the Revolutionary war, it is not
too much to say that the royalist troops they
put in the field from beginning to end outnum-
bered the patriots two to one. The South
Carolina militia would not go to the defense OF.
Charleston when it was taken by the British IN
1850. There we're no South Carolina or Geor
gia regiments in the Revolutionary army out
OF the limits of those States, and very little was
ever heard or seen of any Southern regiments
north of Virginia. The rOyalist forces in the
South, after the war began in that quarter,
which was not until January l779, were often
made up of royalist militia almost exclusively.
Bodies of 700 and of 900 Of these tories are
several times named in the history of the two
years most active warfare there. A few partl-
san bands after this time steadily adhered to
the patriot cause, out the lTuln Is lldL OOul
of the people who got up the present rebellion
fought us with fair share of zeal and yigor
whenever opportunity offered in the Reyolu-
tion.
AS to allegiance, it is we'll known that while
the people of South Carolina were ready enough
to adhere to the Union after their British de-
tenders were compelled to retire, they frequent
ly renewed their oaths of allegiance to the
British Government during the war. The
British civil authority was two or three times
renewed, and put in easy operation, always
with the cheerful concurrence Of the people Of
Charleston. There is nothing in the events of
the Revolution to induce a high estimate of
either the power or the purpose Of the citizens
Of the central district Of secession to resist the
Government which prevails in the country gen.
orally, after that Government has shown that it
has purpose and power of its own. They defed
us now because they were confident of being
able to drag other States into the conflict, il
one should ensue, and they have so compelled
other people to fight all the battles that will be
fought. When Virginia is beaten, South Caro-
lima will not bring her own precious militia
into further conflict, and the history of the
earliest war on this continent will be repeated
in this last one in the darkese center Of seces-
sion fury. 1t is quite as evident now as in
Revolutionary times that the choice Of South
Carolina cannot be permitted to control the
destines of this grerat nation Phil. American.

NoRTH CAROLINA LEGIsLATURE.-A Sc
cession paper. published at Raleigh, the
Capital OF North Carolina, stated that a
dsgracelul scene occurred in the Legsla
ture, when the news of the capture Of the
fIai,eras forts was received. The paper
declined, for The creet Of the State, to give
any intimaliOn as to the character Of the
scene; but The New York Times gives some
intelligence derived from two gentlemen
recently from North Carolina. in expana.
tim. The Times SAYS:
These gentlemen confirm the report we have
already published concerning the effect Of the
receipt at Raleigh Of the news Of the taking Of
Hatteras by Union troops. Before they left
home letters had been received from Raleigh,
stating that the Legislature was in session when
the capture was announced, and that the Union
men rose in their places, and cheered and
swung their hats, and we're so noisy in their
rejoicings that all business was for the time
suspended. The same feeling, to a considerable
extent, pervaded the people of the city.
