NAVAL MOVEMENTS. The vessels that came in al
warsaw yesterday were schooner-rigged gunboats
and not steamers, as stated the irstpage. Theil
object appears to be merely to prowl about, tc
spy out the points our coast and intercept such
vessels as may be passing. tN4
The movements at the mouth of our river would
indicate beginning of the work of obstruction a
large iull-rlgged brig was brought in yesterday
9noer tul sall' and run upon the beach at Tybee.
Some suppose she was in leaky condition and run
aground to save her. whilst the most probable pre-.
sumption is that she is the beginning of line of
distractions across the channel
This is beautiful work for powerful nation to
be engaged IN! ISayannah Republican, 7th.

RTMoK OF Col. BRowN's DEATH.-The follow
ing is extracted from letter dated Pensacola
yesterday, the 9Th inst: D.. B. 80.
A lieutenant of our army went over to the islan(
the other day in disguise, and stayed there two
days He says that Col. Brown, the commander
of Pickens, is dead, having been mortally wounded
in three places by our shots during the lombard
ment. 4lF 80 - -
For several days we have heard rumors to thi
effect; but we are inclined to believe that they
are not true. That some officers of the fort wert
killed is pretty certain, from the honors paid tt
them by the garrison. If it is true that Brown il
dead the silence of the fort when Gen. Bragg tn,
other day opened on one of the enemy's boats
may, perhaps, be accounted for. ,- ss.
