From BEAUFoRT.-We learn from friend who
was in Beaufort on Wednesday, that parties Of the
enemy who visited that place we're unsuccessful in
persusding negroes there TO work for them, al
though offered pay, and that many refused to go
with them. They are beginning 70 ind that the
amount Of work required Of them is very different
from what they have been accustomed to DO for
their oWners and some Of those who had been taken
by force are escaping. It is well known BY the ne
groes in our cities and villages that Yankee owners
are the hardest masters. Since Wednesday the
Yankees have taken possession Of Beaufort A
large portion Of the force which had been landed
on Hilton Head has been taken of by the feet and
gone on some other expedition. Their armed yes
sells are stationed at various points to guard the

The editor of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.
writing to that paper from kiIledgeEille, says:
have been furnished by the President Of the
Senate with the information in regard to the auanS
tty of salt in Georgia. given him By distinguished
citizen Of Savannah. This information will be en-
trely new to the people Of the State and will con-
vince them that they have been subjected to the
grossest outrage at the hands Of SPECTATORS in this
article Of prime necessity. We have all been made
to believe that there was & great scarcity of salt
while the facts prove that the supply is larger than
usual. The gentleman from Savannah writes that
he has seen statement Of the export Of salt from
Liverpool 70 Savannah, for the years lSJ0-60 and
1861, made by Blount, English and Brandon. ship
brokers, Liverpool, and this statement shows 81
excess for ls6O-6l of 90, $40 sacks Of salt The
gentleman learns, also, from the best informed
sources, that the reaexport of salt from Savannah
is less for 1861, by 10000 sacks than for the pre-
Yious yesr-thus showing a total supply for the
present year. Of 100 $40 sacks in excess Of the sup
ply for the pas. year. This amount Of excess Is
amply sufficient to too millions Of hogs. hope,
then, we shall see q grand tumble down n the price
Of salt.

The Capture OF 1Iessrss Mason and SIIdeil

WAAHNGTON, Nov. l9-The arrest Of the Confed.
crate envoys on board British packet viii serve as
q test Of the disposition Of the British Government
in the present contest. They can, if they please
make it pretext for quarrel, if their policy rem
ders a rupture desirable. The British Journals
show that the public mind IS deeply agtated by the
distress which threatens, if il has not actually in
vaded, the manufacturing districts, and 8 popular
clamOr for the restoration Of the American cotton
trade viii probably arise in the course of the WIN
ter. A mere recognition Of the Confederate States
would neither arrest the war nor raise the block
ade, nor derive supply of cotton. England there's
fore, must hazard war for a cotton supply unless
she can obtain it BY more convenient and direct
process
1t is probable that she viii resort first to amicable
negotiations with the Federal Government and it is
believed that assurances have already been given,
through our Minister, Mr.. Adams, that free access
to the cotton ports should be given this winter to
British vessels.
The Evolutionary policy of the United States does
not permit the search of vessels except as belf.
gerant right, on the high seas, and whether it is
safe to abandon our own maritime principles for
the sake of a temporary advantage, may be doubt
full Hereafter our long settled policy may work
in our favor But, if we adopt British precedents
the capture Of the Ministers would find ample Jus
tiAcation.
In l779 Henry Laurens, President of Congress,
was sent as Minister to Holland, and on his passage
in Congress packet, tnOs neutral bottom he was
taken prisoner by British frigate and was confn-
ed in the tower Of London. His papers showed the
nature Of his mission, exhibited friendly dispos.
ton towards US on the part Of Holland, and pro-
duced rupture between England and that power.
Il is supposed that the papers of Messrs ShdeI and
Mason may exhibit facts showing that their mission
favor. If that proves 70 be So Preparations for the
defence Of New York and other Atlantic cities may
not be premature.

and from 20 to "a guns. Gen. Patterson had about
10000 men and guns, the latter immovable for
want of harness. On the 2Slh he informed the Gen
eral Of the strength of the enemy and of his own
force that be would not on his own responsible
ty, attack without artillery, but would do so cheer
fully and promptly if he would give him an ex-
plieit order to that effect. No order was given.
On the 29th he received the harness for his single
battery of six snoothsbore guns. and on the 3oth
gave the order to cross. % the End of July he

PLAN OF OPERATIONS PROPOSED.

On the 10th of June he was asked by the General
in-Chief TO propose, without delay, plan Of ope-
rations. On the 2lst he submitted TO the General
mischief his plan, which to abandon the present
line of operations, all supplies TO Frederick
occupy Maryland flights with Major Doubledsy's
heavy guns, and a brigade of infantry to support
them, and with everything else-horse, foot, and
artillery-to cross the Potomac at Point of Rocks,
and unite with Col Stones forces at Leesburg from
which point he could operate as circumstances
should demand, and the Generals orders should
require. No reply was received; but, on the 9th.

that he was that day crossing the river in pursuit
of the enemy.
