Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazettel
FRANKFoRT, Dec. 12.-.Just now, while all
eyes are turned to Somerset and Schoept S
brigade, it may be interesting to supply some
particulars in the career OF the general who is
leading our forces there, and on whose skilss
tui generalship aDne we can rely for success
against the overwhelming odds. 1t is one of
the mortiying humiliations, OF which the war
is bringing SO many to the rebels, that the
aristocratc Tennessee congressman, who
commands the rebel army, has been once ig
ANONYMOUSLY defeated by, and is now again OPP
posed to, a late NeO York hotel porter, When
Gen Schoeptf came 10 this country he was
without means. Nothing better offering, lie
asked and procured the situation OF porter in
one Of the leading New York hotels; and
many a lady who reads the Gazette this morn
ing has had her trunk carried up ana down
stairs by the present brigadier general, whose
second victory are hourly expecting the
wires to fash over the country. After a Time
he went to Washington where he continued
as porter in one OF the hotels, till his uuyary
ing politeness and industry brought him under
the notice of Mr. Holt. Pleased with his ap-
peaiance, and determined to see whether lie
would rise if he had chance, Mr.. Holt gave
him situation in the patent office. AT first
his duties were very humbl carrying bun
dies, arranging models, and the like; but he
was gradually TlSu on more important ldDOfS,
and il was still found that whatever he cid was
well done A position was then arranged tor
him more suitable to his newly discovered
abilities. Mr.. Holt continued to take great i'll.
terest in him, and missed no opportunity of pro-
noting his advancement. w hen he was trans
terred to the war department he took Schoeptf
with him. An important survey in Virginia
chanced to be needed, and Schoepf was en-
trusted with it, This brought him under the
eye of Gen. Scott, and his military education
and requirements were tor the first time
brought to light. Thenceiorward his rise was
sure. He continued to be employed on inn
portant business in the war department till
educated officers began to be demanded for
our volunteers, when the New York hotel
porter was appointed brgadier general and
sent to protect the state of his benetactor from
invasion. Mr.. Holt has already the proud
satisfaction of knowing that the man he took
from hotel drudgery in Washington won Wild

From the New York Evening Post.
The steamer Connecticut, which arrived,
Tuesday, brings important information from
the three places named above. This vessel
arrived at Fort Pickens on the night of Satur-
day the 49,! Of November, just at the close of
the bombardment of the rebel forts and batter
les by Col. Brown and our forces. She was
there fore too late to witness the firing, but its
effect was very apparent, The flames from
Warrington and WCosey were ascending, and
the spectable is described as magnificent.
These towns-one at one side Of the navy
yard and and the other on the opposite side
are believed to have been nearly if not quite
consumed. The navy yard foundry was de-
stroyed, and Fort Mclae can no longer be dig
nifiad by the name Of fort. 1t is simply
dilapidated battery, nominaIly occppied, al
though but little effort ss made to place it in
fighting trim again.
The federal war steamers Niagara and De
Soto were lying at Pensacola on the oath of
November. The Niagara, though struck by
the rebel shot, was in perfect order, and ready
for another engagement. The Richmond had
also been repaired The injury TO the latter
vessel was not so great as had been feared.
Wien the Connecticut left Key West, six
days ago, the Richmond was about sailing for
Pickens. having been fully restored TO her
original condition.
The only reason why the fire of Col. Brown
from Pickens was not renewed consisted in
the fact that he had not a sufficient force to
follow up his success. lie could knock down
the rebel Notifications and drive out the garri-
sons, but, as in the case of Fort AIcRae, Which
was evacuated and reoCcupied three different
times the rebels are, in all cases, at liberty
to return and again take possession. Some
OF their sand batteries were much injured, but
these are capable OF being restored in single
night.
The Connecticut stopped at Tybee Island
and at Port Royal on her way TO New York
The news from these localities is very inter,
esting, but we are not permitted, for prudential
reasons, to develop some of the points. But
the general statement may be made, which
comes from very high authority, that before
many days Savannah, and probably Charleston
(aIl that remains ofit), will be in possession of
our forces.
Tybee Island is occupied by a considerable
force, estimated at one thousand men, who
are to throw up batteries with which to
operate against Fort Pulaski, i they should
eUer be needed 1t is understood that Pulaski
and Savannah will not be approached in this
direction. The details OF the operations
around Charleston have not been so fully
developed.

BRIDGET AMONG THE QUAKERs.-During
the twilight of one of the cold evenings of the
last week, a rosy, Jocund dame Of the Roman
persuasion, in her journeyings through the
neighboring town OF West Newbury, sought
shelter and rest for the night Discerning on
her route the house OF worship Of the Friends,
building plain in its pretensous, like all the
customs OF that respected sect, she thought to
tarry there. Embodying her thought in ac-
ton, she climbed in at the wind w, and liking
the appearance of things, made herself as
comfortable as possible, by building rousing
fire, mailing down the windows, and spreading
upon the floor the bedding she had brought
upon her back. About the time, probably,
that she had composed herself sufficiently to
think with joy upon the tenets OF her faith,
the door opened, and one OF an opposite creed
entered, interrogatng, "What dost thou here,
Bridget?" "Arrah, now begone, and lave a
lone woman to her pase," was Bridgers point
ed reply "Fhee must leave! thee must
leave!' was the mild, but firm reiteration of
the decided Friend whose nasal, if not ocular
sense, convinced him that "spirits" of evil
ministered to her wants. Bridget, seeing no
alternative, packed her effects, extracted the
nails from the windows and went on her way
rejecting doubtless upon the depravity OF the
human heart, as specially exhibited III the
Quaker.-NeUburypor Herald.

PRIsoNERs RELEAsED.-Two hundred and
fifty of the prisoners captured at Fort Halteras
and confined at Fort Warren, were released
on Tuesday last, by order of the government,
and started for Dixie" uia Fortress Monroe.
These men were nearly destitute when they
were captured, and time and disease have
borne heavily upon them during their captivi.
ty. They were clothed with almost every
variety Of threadbare costume, which had not
been repaired or replenished during their con.
fnement, except through the kindness of the
government against which their misguided
hands had been raised. They were mostly
young, aud with apparent tendencies to i'll
health. Two of them were SO i'll as TO be

Four hundred of the same regiment including

JEFF. DAVIS MESSAGE The following
message was sent by JEFF. Davis to the rebel
congress at Richmond, on receiving the news
OF the great fire at Charleston -
The calamity which has laid in ashes large
portion of the city of Charleston calls for our
sympathies, and seems to justify the offer of
aid in the manner hereafter suggested. The
state of South Carolina will, no doubt, desire
to assist the people of Charleston in their hour
of need but, as her resources are now taxed
to the utmost in resisting the invasion of her
soil, the prompt intervention of this govern
ment may not be deemed unsuitable to the
occasion. The state of South Carolina, in
common with the other states, has made lib
eral advances on account of tile war, and this
government is unquestionably largely her
debtor. With the existing pressure upon her
resources, it is probable that her desire to aid
the suffering city of Charleston may be re-
strained by other demands upon her available
means. Under such circumstances may we
not exhibit our sympathy with her people, by
an offer to place at the control of the legisa-
tnre OF the state, now in session, portion of
the sum we owe her. The magnitude of the
calamity affords the reason for making an ex-
ception in her lavor, and promptness OF action
will manifest, in the most appropriate manner,
the sincerity of our regard for the people of
that gallant state, and our entire sympathy in
all that concerns them. recommend, there
fore, that congress make an appropriation of
such amount as may be deemed sufficient, for
the purpose proposed, to be placed at the con.
troll Of the authorities OF the state of South
Carolina JEFFERSON DAVIS.

WANTED-SoMEBoDY 70 "TAKE THE RE.
sPoNsIBILITY." THE curious proclamation of
General Phelps, in command at Ship Island,
shows once more the absolute necessity for the
government to adopt and carry out some gen
eral plan Of action in this war, Gen. Phelps
occupies the old abolition stand-ground; Gen.
tlalleck acts on the equally old pro-slavery
principles Gen. Sherman wastes property of
the government for fear of employing negroes;
and in place OF marching on the enemy at
Charleston, sends out messengers to inquire
about Union men. Thus precious time is lost
in settling the principles Of action; the public
mind is confused by a variety OF contradictory
proclamations and our generals, instead of
cooperating to one end, are permitted TO bring
their personal views into the war, and in fact
seem to carry it on, each for his own ends and
in his own ways. The only remedy for this
very serious evil is the passage OF an act by
congress definitely instructing all military off
GERS that war must be carried out on war prin-
ciples; that all property of the enemy must
be confiscated, all slaves OF the enemy freed,
and every means used TO put an end to the in
surrecion. Among these means, we believe,
proclamations will be found, by able generals,
the least etfective.-NeU York EUeniRg Post.

CHANcELLoR KENT's OPlNIoN.-The fol-
lowing is quoted from Kent as applicable to
the Trent case =
"By the modern usage of nations, neither
the twenty-our hours possession, nor the
bringing OF the prize mira praSidia, is sufii-
cient to change the property in the case of a
maritime capture. a judicial inquiry MUST
pass upon the case, and the present enlighten.
ed practice Of c ommercial nations has subject
ed ALL such captures 10 the scrutiny OF judi
cial tribunals, as the ONLY SURE WAY to fur
nish due proof that seizure was lawful. The
property is not changed in favor OF neutral
vendee or receptor, so as to bar the original
owner, until regular sentence of condemnation
has been pronounced by some court of compe
tent jurisdiction, belonging to the sovereign of
the captor; and the purchaser must be aule to
show documentary evidence OF that fact, to sup
port his title. Till the capture becomes invested
with the character OF prize by sentence of
condemnation, the right ofproperty is IN allegiance,
is in a state OF legal sequestration. 1t can not
be alienated or disposed Of but the possession
Of it by the government of the captor is a
trust for the benefit of those who may be ulti-
mately entitled This salutary rule, and one
SO necessary TO check irregular conduct and
individual outrage, has been long established
in English admiralty, and now everywhere
recognized as the law and practice of nations"
