The Associated Press account of re-
cent victory and movements of our feet is
substantially same as others, but gives a
few more particulars. The steamer
Winf. Scott reached the rendezvous on
the evening of Ord, with loss Of master
and bow stove In. She threw over her
3 rihed cannon, all her freight, the mus
kets and equipments of her 400 men, and
everything but her rations TO keep her
from sinking and but for the labor Of
the soldiers in bailing, her fires would
have been put out, and nothing then could
have saved her. The stramer Bienville
went to her relief, when her chief engi-
neer. his associate and Is seamen jumped
aboard the Bieuville, leaving the Scott to
her fate. Their action nearly created a
panic among the soldiers, who gave up all
for lost. The Capt. of the Scott put the
chief engineer in irons and brought him
and the recTeant seamen back, when
things went on better.
Col. Clark Of 9th Pa. Reg't, which
were. on board the Scott, describes the
night as one Of horror. The gale was
terrible. and the Stott was taken in tow
by the Vanderbilt. which had cut clear
from. the Great Republic.
10 the gale the steamer Governor went
down with 20 men-the Pemlina taking
off all who could escape.
The Siminole had 5 shots in her hull.
The Wabash had her machinery disabled
Five of 30 guns of the fort Of Hilton
Head were d~ismounted. There were
1900 rebels on Hilton Head and 1900 on
Royal Point. We have captured So can
non, 500 muskets and any quantity Of
ammunition.
The road by which the rebels escaped
is cove red with rihed muskets, &c. We
have taken two hundred blankets, tents
for 1000 men. The rebel guns were all
81 Founders; a being rihed, cast this
year at Richmond. The others were from
Norfolk, including an English gun cap
tuered in last war. The muskets are
English. Chief engineer of Susquehana
was killed. Thirty dead rebels were
found, and more are being found having
been horribly buried in the sand. Geor-
gia troops ran first, and the South Caro-
linians last. A German artillery COM
pany who served the guns stayed I'LL the
last.
