about ninety of their well men still in our hands.

Arrival Of Southern Prisoners.


FROM Inc SaNabnRh RepEbIehhI
In our afternoon edition of yesterday we gave a
brief and general account of the battle and cvacu
alton of Fort Walker, on Port Royal Sound Fur
ther and authentic accounts show that it was one
of the most terrible fights on record. Soldiers who
were in the Crimea say there nothing like it in
the memorable sieges of that celebrated campaign.
The fire from the feet fell upon the devoted garr
son like storm of hail for five consecutive hours,
and the enti)ading worked terrible havoc among
the guns of our battery. So rapid were the reports
of the guns that it was difficult to distinguish be-
tween them. One continuous roar WAS kept up
throughout the fight.
The battery on Hilton Head {Walker's) consisted
of one 10,inch Columbiad. one 8nch ditto, one
rife cannon and seventeen twenty-four and thirty
two Founders. The fort is a common earth struc-
ture but very strong of its kind, and the width of
the bay, two and ahalf miles, proved from the be-
ginning that fleet of such power was obliged to
enter with an effort. The Bay Point battery, just
opposite on st. Helena Island, had seventeen guns,
and there was but little risk in swift steamers pass
ing a mile and quarter from each. The ships
were disposed so to direct their fire from three
points. The achievement in itself, is of little
sequence, but it is important in that it gives the
enemy Il toothold on our coast and possession OF
one of our hest harbors.
Our force in the battery while the fight was pro-
crossing amounted to about 220 men, the rest of
the troops being disposed i'll the rear and within
the distance of mile. The greater portion of the
loss occurred outside, from the bursting of shells,
which were raiDed over large district of terri
tory. The German Artillery Company from
Charleston who were in the fort, fought like tigers
Our men were ordered 10 retreat, when their pow
der was nearly eXhausted the holding of the bat,
terry had become hopeless, and the enemy had it in
their power to cut of their retreat.
They left in good order, followed by shower oil
shells from the ship. Fortunately, considerable

ARRIVAL OF PRIsoNERs.-The bluff was lined all
yesterday afternoon with crowds anxious to wit
the arrival of prisoners taken at the battle of
Belmont, who had been put aboard the lngomar
On the arrival of the boat the rush was very great
at the foot of Jefferson street, where the prisoners
were put ashore. As they appeared, shouts and
yells went up from a portion of the crowd-the
portion whose appearance betokened the absence
Of refinement. These noisy demonstrations were
made at intervals as the men were marched along
the street. Some coarse attempts at witticisms
were occasionally heard, but the expression that
most carried the day was, y" Here's your mule "
An Irshman when all the men had left the boat,
exclaimed, as if agreeably surprised, BE jabers,
they're all Dutchmen; there's not a rale regular
Paddy among the whole on 'em.n Then turning
toward the prisoners, "Byes, we've got no sour
krout here for you,'h The proportion Of Germans
was large among the prisoners: the whole of them
appeared to be men of very ordinary condition.
As they went along amid the staring crowd,
most of them had dull, INEXPENSIVE look of ab
solute Indifference. Here and there, however,
among the broRn-yisaged backwoodsmen, the
cleaning eye, knitted brow, ami compressed lip,
showed the indignant and defiant feelings that
were pent up within. They were taken 20 Mos
by's cotton shed, at the corner of Second and
Jackson streets, where they were placed under
guard. Memphis Appeal, Saturday. "

The Charleston Courier, referring to the fight,

The firing was terrific, and it is feared that the
loss has been severe. One of the enemy7s gun
boats was fred by Hilton Head battery, and then
scuttled by the enemy. The Yankee flagship was
once on fire. The forts were CALAMITY defended,

THE PRorI1GAoy OF THE LINCOLN Ap4rtSIsrnA

THE PRoFLIGAoy OF THE LINCOLN ADMINIsrRA-
TIoN.--A Baltimore paper says:
The Administration does not care n straw as to
the debt whichis accumulatng against the people.
The people themselves begin, however, to think
upon this matter, and figure up the amount. The
Washington Star of yesterday, referring to little
item of thirtynine thousand dollars, thrown away
by General Sickles in the purchase of useless guns
for his brigade, says: ''God help the war tax
payers" If the war goes on at the present ex-
travagant rate, the war taxpayers y will need
some extraordinary help, for they will not be able
themselves to raise the enormous amount of debt
which is heaped up against them the rate of mil
lion and a half day.
The public debt on the 18th December will
amount to about $3.50 100000, and at the present
rate of expenditure it will be $3.50 100000 one
year from that date. The war debt of each party
to the conflict is likely to reach very respectable
amount, even should we have an early peace.

They may hold them in quiet possession, and the
former will afford safe refuge for their fleets.
we have no particular use for either about now,
we cannot see that any serious inconvenience can
arise from their presence. They have, it is said,
twenty thousand troops aboard their ships What
will they do with them? We think it will puzzle
them to come to Savannah; their next movement,
then, must be inland, either in the direction of POGO
taligo, on the Charleston and Savannah Railroad,
or by way of Brunswick. Will they march on
Savannah with our troops in front and the Charles
ton troops in the rear? OF will they march on
Charleston with the Carolina troops in front and
the Georgia troops in the rear? And again; will
they land at Brunswick and come rorthWard with
tire still both in front and rear? fs ssi t5s
We are rather inclined to the opinion, after all,
that the Lincoln armada has won an elephant in
its Port Royal victory. 49, ''
With regard to the movements of the enemy we
had various reports brought to town Yesterday.
gentleman, who left Bluffton Saturday, states
on the authority of the ydettes and others in the
vicinity, that the fleet had completely disappeared
from Port Royal; after taking possession Of Beau.
fort (Which had previously been deserted by the
inhabitants) and Port Royal ferry.
Another report, by telegraph from Pocotaigo
stated that the enemy were landing horses and
equipments at Beaufort.
Still another, from parties who were in the neigh
borhood of Hilton Head Island Saturday night
says that number of signal rockets were seen in
the direction of Fort Walker, which, we suppose
were sent up by some struggling vessel in search
of the fleet. .-
Other rumors were afoat but we will not confuse
the truth by stating them. 1t matters not where
the enemy are; we should be prepared to meet
them at all points. And just here we would coun
sci patience and confidence among our citizens
who are too apt in times like these to complain
and censure, without cause. We have taker
some pains to inform ourselves with regard to the
movements of the military authorities, and we are
convinced they are doing the very best possible tt
meet the emergencies of the future. Some very
important changes have been made in the disposi
ton of the troops, so as to guard every important
point, and at the same time have them so posted
that the entire force can be promptly brought to
gether, should an extraordinary occasion require
it, tits hardly just for outsiders, who know nothing
of what is going on, to complain because matteri
do not appear to be progressing just according tt
their notions and desires. Let us be quiet, ant
| wait for results before we condemn. We have til,
best defended coast on the Atlantic or gulf shore
and we are indebted for it solely to the militar
officers Of the Confederate States.
