The enemy in possession Of Pnckney Island They

launch at long taw, without effect We have not been

negroes TO bo very large.
The following article, credited TO the Savannah Re
publican, euogstic Of Commodore Tatnal is reproduced
in the columns Of tho Courier. It is headed
OUR RRAvE OLD COMMODORE.
Commodore Tatna has, without intending II a. such,
set the Of the South example which all should
seek to imatevz: whether weak or strong, meet the
enemy at the very threshold, and show him that you
resolved to dispute every inch Of Southern ground and
drive him back perish in the attempt. The Cornmo-
but went out to meet tho onemy in all their pomp and
power He threw his scornful and defiant shot into tho
teeth Of their vast expedition, and when they
repeated broadsidcs from their largest Ships he showed
hts appreciation Of their gallanty and manhood by dip
ping his flag in irony as much as TO "Your achieve
ment Is worthy Of honor and bore you have it," IL
terrible sarcasm ngenously yet forcibly expressed.
Let every Southern man throughout tho war initiate
voton to tho by moeng the enemy NJ every step
Of his progress and no better can be had on his terms
