BROOKLYN ITEMS.

THr EFFECT OF Inv Recent yIcToRY ~ Brook
LrN.-The most intense interest was manifested by
citizens the receipt Of authentic intelligence
Of the splendid victory gained by the great fleet at
Port Royal Everybody was rejoced-espccially
those who have relatives and friends in the expe-
dition. large number of Brooklyn boys are on
the Wabash and several Of the gunboats, and two
full regiments-the 9Th Washington Grays) and the
18th Continental Guardsl-arc from this city. The
former, before their departure, was encsmped at
East New-York, and the latter at Fort Hamilton.
The I'd Rhode Island Regiment al;o in the expe-
dition, was likewise stationed at Fort Hamilton 1t
was therefore highly gratifying to learn that the
casualties were no few on the part of the seamen,
while the land forces lost not man. Every line of
news in relation to the events which TRANSFERRED from
the time of leaving Fortress Monroe until the
glorious finale at Beaufort, was eagerly devoured.
Private accounts state that the horse presented to
Col, Perry of the 18th, by his friends here previous
10 his departure, was lost during the gale. Flags
were flying yesterday in every direction, on public
buildings and on private residences. There has been
no such display since the fall of sumter-the com,
mencement of the troubles which now aifict the
country. The Mayor ordered the firing of salute
from Fort Greene at noon, in honor Of the great
victory. national salute was also fired from the
Nayy-Yard at the same time.
