The Late N. p. Walker.

1t is with sinoerest sorrow that We re-
cord the loss to this community, and to the
State, of this useful and worthy man, who
departed this life on Wednesday morning,
the 18th instant. Mr.. Walker has been
we'll known for years as the active and en-
terprising Principal of the Institution for
Deaf and Dumb, located at Cedar Springs,
in this District. 10 our occasional visits
to the Institution, We have always been
delighted with the kind, obliging and gen.
tlemanly character of Mr.. w., who seemed
to be every way suited to the position he
so worthily filled. The loss which the In.
stitution has sustained is heavy, indeed. It
will be hard to supply the vacancy caused
by his unexpected departure. Mr.. Wal
ker was publio.spirited man, taking an
active interest in whatever vas calculated
to promote the welfare of the District,
State or Coufederacy. He was one of the
Commissioners of the Confederate Loan for
Spartanburg District, and was jealous in
the discharge of his duty.
We sympathize sincerely with his be.
reaved and afflicted family, as we'll as with
the Institution over which he presided.-

From Port Royal.

The news from that portion of the coast
occupied by the enemy continues to come
to Us moss tardily and in meagre proper
tions The distance of Hilton Head from

all navigation in the neighborhood, render
it difficult for our forcos to approach nea1

their number or movements.
1t is understood, however, on pretty re-
liable authority, that the enemy has aban
doned Beaufort anu Port Royal Islands, OF
which it is situated, and are now cop6ueo
to Hilton Head, Pipqkney Island, immedi
ateIy west and separated from the former by
Skull Creek, and the point known as Bay
Point, on Jenkins Island, across the sound

How OUR COMMISSIONERS WERE OyE1

| How OUR COMMISSIONERS WERE OVER
TAKEN.-Late intelligence explains how
Messrs. Mason and Slidell were sakan by
the Yankee frigate San Jacinto. The
Commissioners arrival in Havana, aud the
nature of their mission was so far from be.
ing secret there, that they received the
marked hospitalities Of the Captain. Gene.
raj Of the island. Immediately upon their
arrival, the Consul of Lincoln, one Shu
felds, sent fast yacht, the Noupareil, to
KY West with the news. Thus the enemy
had abundant time to mature all their ar.
raugemeuts for the coup. The Commis.
sioners had taken passage on the royal mail
steam packet from Havana tc Liverpool.
On the 9th inst, shortly after leaving
the port of Havana, the steamer was board
ed by the United States man u.of-war Sar
Jaoiuto, under command of Capt. Wilkes,
for the purpose of arresting Messrs. Mason
and Slidell, who, with their Secretaries,
were brought forcibly off. The party OF
ladies whe accompanied the Commissioners
proceeded on their way, and took with
them, it is said, the official letters and des.
patches of the Commissioners. The San
Jaciuto, on the evening Of Saturday last,
reached Fortress Monroe, whence, it is
said, the arrested Commissioners will, by
permission of Gen. Wool, serd despatch
to our Government on the subject of their
capture.
