Later from Pensacola,

The Pensacola correspondent Of the Mobile
AdUertiser, in his letter of October 20, writes;
The winds and storms of the past few days
have ceased their hOwlngs and fury, and the
city is now in the enjoyment Of the calm and
sunshine of a May morn.
1 telegraphed you last night that Lieutenant
c. Sayre, Of the Confederate marine corps, had
been released on parole by Col. Brown, on honor
that when bis wound would admit, he should re-
turn to captivity, unless hOnOrably exchanged.
l have Just left his room. He IS in fine humOr,
and in his own peculiar vein relates some of the
incidents Of the fight, in which he either played
a part or witnessed. Having participated in the
advance move, he was, Of course, in the rear on
the return march, when and where most of the
casualties betel our side. His leg was pierced
with a Minnie ball from the regulars Of Lieuten-
ant Seeley, who had by some means obtained
the rear Of our troops. He was carried by his
immediate companions some distance the
beach, where he was left, under the belief that
he would be carried aboard a little Confederate
gu trd schooner or slOOp that was standing I'M
mediately for the shore, but was not discovered,
and, Of course, fell into the hands Of the foe.
After our troops had left tie island, he was ap-
preached by an o~ficeroD horseback, 10 whom be
introduced himself as Lieut.. SayTe, Of the Con
federate States marines" The officer replied,
Il am Lieut.. LangdOn, Of the army-yOu shall
be Immediately cared for" He was next visited
by some of Wilson's boys, who promised him
good treatment, and claiming him as their pTs-
oner. He was shortly after taken to the hOspi-
tai, where he was treated with the utmost kind
ness by the chief surgeon, the officers of the
army, as well as by regulars and Zouave pm
Yates. Col. Brown also visited and conveTsed
with him in the most amiable manner. Lieut..
Sayre will divulge nothing that compromises his
| L,..- All cvr r~fenuavg .rbfla Ou fine feland
were treated in a similar manner; and it was no
doubt gratifying 10 Col. Brown to learn that
| Gen. Bragg has acted in a like manner toward
| the Federal prisoners in bis hands. Lieut.. Sayre
was brought over on a litter.
