The Secessonist dispatches from Charleston
speak of great Indignation among the rebel forces
there at the failure of the fleet TO come in and
take part in the fight on Saturday. OF course,
the rebels would be very glad to have added to
their prize ono or two vessels of war, that being
an article not included among the plumber which
they have stolen from the United States. But as
to the justice of the blame they assume to cast
upon the feet, we can only judge when the Off
cial reports of the United States officers come to
DO published. At present We do not know what
vessels we're off Charleston harbor on Friday
night and Saturday; nor how far they had oeen
disabled by the storm: nor precisely what military
force was on board. In short, We are ignorant
Of the facts essential to proper conclusion on
the subject; but We may be cure that neither
Commander Porter, the superior officer of the
feet. nor Lieut. Col Brown, who commanded
the soldiers, neglected anything that courage and
good Judgment required to be done or attempted.

Beaufort. They arrived at the latter place on
the 18th. The "IIorpets" were in the right
wing the Blair Guards in the left wing. The
troops were transported from Charleston by
water, and on the way one man-we have not
learned his name or to what company he be-
,ionGed-fell, overheard and was drowned. The
whole command, we are informed, ran mar.

a leak and tie danger Of the whole being
